It was April 15 of that noted year when a heavy snow fell at that time. Mr. Scheddy said that he had on a suit of "fine linen,” and the next morning found him fourteen miles from home with August clothes on and the ground covered with snow.

Mallely went to work at Baird’s mill, near Gainesville, on Thursday. Most of the workmen are colored men, and some of them took offense at his work, and Friday noon, in a little difficulty, one colons! inau namod Rundall chased him and struck him with a club, breaking the forefinger of his right hand and otherwise bruising his hand. A merchant of Gainesville found a hole while reoonnoitering in one of his vest pock ets yesterday.

The loss of their orange crop of the year before last has taught the people in the vicinity of Man darin a lesson, which they have taken to heart. Tho vegetable freights of the Man atee for this season have been greatly in ex cess of what has been taken in previous sea sons. Green Covo Spring: On Tuesday a num lier of well-known gentlemen upjiearod on our streets as visitors to attend the various public sales which were made on that day under the advertisements which have ap peared in our columns. By far the greater proportion of the property advertised for non-payment of taxes was sold to the State, no bidders appearing. Tho indebtedness on some of the lots was paid by the owners, but it is probable that, of the portion which went to the (State, very little will be re deemed by tho owners. The interest of Capt. W. H. Mclntyre in the Spring Park property was sold under foreclosure of mort gage to Col. Hart, of Palatka, who thus be comes part owner ol' the most important pieces of property in Green Covo.

Mr. Wright says, also, that arrangements are being made with the Chautauqua committee to hold a session on the beach some time dur ing next August or September. It seemg altogether likely that Halifax Beach is sure to succeed. A CALIFORNIA LION Handled Without Ceremony by a Young Nevadan. From the Walker Lake Bulletin. For some time Sam Turner, one of the principal stockholders in the Cory ville Cir cus Company, has been trapping for a Cali fornia bon. The tracks of two were fre quently seen near the town, and Mr. Turner was determined to get one for tho show tent. Many mornings he went to the trap and returned disappointed, but last Friday, when ho made his usual trip of inspection, when he approached the place he heard a terrible uproar and knew he had caught his game. The trap was down and the lion was inside going around roaring and seek ing to escape. Turner piekwl up a club, cautiously raised tho trap, and by a well di rected blow stunned the brute as it attempt ed to get out. Swinging it over his shoulder by the tail he started for home, and to keep it from impeding his movements by wab bling and twisting he secured the hind legs under his arms. It was fortunate for the circus company that he did this, for hail he not the animal would have escaped. The blow which stunned the lion ruptured some veins in its nose, and after it had been car ried for somo distance with its head down, blood began to flow, and shortly afterward consciousness returned. Now, Mr. Turner, al though not greatly gifted sideways, is very tall, and his captive was not able to reach the ground with its paws. The firm hold he kept on his hind legs, by squeezing them to his sides with' his arms, confined the animal’s efforts for freedom to one end. This end was luckily opposed to a stout pair of boots. These resisted the claws and jaws of tho beast so well that the lower extremities of the gallant trapper suffered but little in jury. Once, however, in going down a very steep place, the animal caught oue of the bootheels and nearly tripped his captor. As Turner approached Coryville he heard the mate of his prisoner roaring in pursuit This made him feel rather uncom fortable, but he clung to his captive and reached town before the pursuer could over take him. There was great excitement on his arrival, and tho entire company assisted in caging the lion. A piece of boiler iron was slid down Turner’s back, a heavy dry goods box pushed up against it over the ani mal and the work was done. The transfer to the cage was then easy. It is thought that the mate will lie easy captured now and the menagerie will have a good start. A Wonderful Invention. From the America* (Ga.) Recorder. John Speight, the artistic barbecuer, has recently invented a device for the encour agement of disappointed and dejected hens which he thinks will revolutionize the poul try business throughout this section wher ever used. It consists of a small, square pine pine box, the bottom of which slants to the centre like a funnel, having a small hole at the end about the size of an editor’s conscience. Into this box is placed a handful of straw, which effectually conceals the’ hole from the searching gaze of the unfortunate fowl. When everything is made ready John places his royal patented, self-acting hen within the box and then steps modestly aside to await developments. The hawser is thrown off, the dial plate screwed down, main spring set toward and lever reversed. Now it is a well-known fact among those who have closely observed the habite of a hen that inimcNliately after laying an egg she looks about and regards it critically to see that no part of its shape or gen eral make-up has been neglected, and right here the advantages of the new inven tion are clearly apparent to all, for as soon as the egg is la id it drops through the aper ture in the bottom of the box down into a vessel placed below. The heft is of course surprised for a moment at not seeing the egg as she had a right to expect, and na turally presuming that a mistake had been made on her part at once pro ceeds to lay another egg which likewise drops into the vessel un derneath. and ill this manner continued un til as many ns seventeen eggs are known to have been laid, while the poor hen, faint with exhaustion and despair, falls from the box in a stupor and is immediately wrapped in a blanket and restoratives administered. This invention has been exhibited to many poultry fanciers, all of whom claim for it manv advantages possessed by no similar concern. An effort is now being made with every hope of suc cess to complete arrangements for the lay-' ing of a satin-lined pipe connecting this box with Bob Oliver’s new and colebrated incubator, which if done will put spring chickens on the market in a few hours after the hen makes up her mind to enter the egg business. It is also probable that a stock company will lie organized with a paid up capital of 10,000 hens for the pur pose of conducting this business on a largo and profitable scale. He Knew Her Sister. From the Dakota Bell. Mrs. Bollinger, a Sioux Falls lady, who lives on Twelfth stroet,, heard a rap at the front door the other afternoon and responded to find it a very distinguished-looking gentleman, extremely dignified and hand some. “Ah! Mrs. Dollinger, I believe,” he said. “Yes, sir.” “My name is Ilareourt. I live at Huron. Mrs. Scott, of that place, is your sister, is she not?” “Yes, sir.” “Ah, yos, I am very well acquainted with her. She requested me to call and do a little errand for her." “Oh, yes; won’t you step in, Mr. Har courtr “Thank you, I believe I will. Very fine weather we’re having.” “Yes, sir. Take the easy chair.” “Thank you—pray don’t put yourself to any trouble on my account.” “Certainly not. Was iny sister well when you left T’ “Quite well, I'm pleased to say. By the way, Mrs. Dollinger, I have a little work here which I would like to show, as lam sure you would bo interested in it; it is called ‘Daniel in the Lion’s Don,’ and is by the Ilev. Thomas R. Deuteronomy and it comes in t welve parts exquisitely bound in cloth, leather or extra Russia, is finely illustrated and should be in every library, and lam taking hundreds of orders as you ean see by examining this order book, and everybody is wild over it and all pronounce it the most wonderful book written since the Holy Scriptures; it treats of Daniel in ten stages, when lie started to go into the den, when ho got a little further in, when he got dear in, when the lions came up to examine him, while they wore making tlmir survey, while they retired to consult • together, when they decided a post-mortem would bo necessary, when they announced the result to Daniel, when he convinced them that he would not consent to an autopsy, when the lions retirod and Daniel got out, embellished with nu merous cuts, plans, nmps and beautiful steel ongivi vhig.-;; comes at $1 apart or $l3 for the i entire work, put your name down hero mu! pay as you receive each part, eleven parts now ready—hero is a fountain pen, write under Mr. Brown’s name at the bottom of the page.” "Mr. Harcourt," said Mrs. Dellinger ris ing and suppressing her tears, “you're a mean, deceitful book agenti Get out of my house!” “I know, but iust, sign—” “Go on, or 1 shall scream!" “Certainly, certainly, If you insist, no offense. But can you tel! me the name of the lady next door and where some of her family live? Ah, won't, ohf I’ll work an other scheme, then. Good day, Mrs. Bol linger, good day, glad to have tusde your ac quaintance i” NOT A PLAGIARIST. Mr. H. Rider Haggaid Retorts Upon His Critics. From the London Times. On returning from abroad I find myself confronted with a box full of newspaper cut tings, most of which bear in some way or another my alleged offenses against the un written laws of literature. I have not read all these cuttings, because my strength has failed me, but I have mastered enough of them to show me that iu many instances they are not remarkable for amiability of tone. Some assume that tho charges re cently made against me and still more recently abandoned are true in substance and in fact. Among them, too, I find other “strange cases. I find that ‘ Jess” is copied bodily from the work of an unnamed and forgotten au thor. Afterward I find that this charge is abandoned. The writer made a slight mis take. He meant that “She” was copied, not “Joss.” I find, too (in many papers), that one of the scenes in “Jess” conies from “Treasure Island.” In both books some one listens and talks from behind a tree. Further, it seems that in this work “Jess” lam indebted to M. Renan. Also, I find it suggested that in “She” I have borrowed, not from “Epicurean," but from the legend of Urashima, whatever that may lie, wpich has, it seems, recently tjcen translated by Mr. Kataoka, whoever he may be. It is because these and other charges have been and are still being so industriously spread that I venture, much as I dislike taking up your space, to ask you to print this letter. In the first place, as to the verses in “Jess.” Those verses were sent some years ago by a friend who is now dead and whose original composition 1 understood them to be, and I put them into the mouth of “Jess.” I have only to add that 1 had no idea of ap propriating them as my own. I do not write verses, aud therefore the question never presented itself to my mind in the light in which it has been put before the public. But I sincerely regret having pub lished the lines as I did, not because under the circumstances I think that I did what was wrong, but because 1 did a thing that was ojien to misinterpretation. Everybody who knows me is, I think, aware that I am quite incapable of wishing to take the credit of the work of other*. Those who do not know me may, if they ore uncharitable, come to a different conclusion. I regret that I should have thoughtlessly given them this opportunity, and more than all I regret the wrong that I have unconsciously done to the real author of the lines in question, whoever she or he may lie. Also I wish to take this opportunity C# make somo further acknowldgements. In my first novel, “Dawn,” I have put some lines into the mouth of Angela, Those lines were written by my sister-in-law, Mi’s. John Haggard, and published as they appear by her own wish.” In “She,” I received the kind assistance of three eminent and learned scholars in con nection with the inscriptions, but as Ido not think that they would like me to print their names I refrain from doing so. In “King Solomon’s Mines.” some foreign gentleman, whose name I forgot, translated the inscription into Portuguese. A trifling consideration of five sliiliings passed upon the occasion, but perhaps my assailants will say that I should have acknowledged his labors, And now I pass on to the charge against “She.” This charge has lately been aban doned. But how has it been abandoned? In a paragraph under the head of “Literary and Art Notes, etc.” the journal which lias headed the hunt against me prints my denial, and states that “Such parallel passages as exist in the two books are 'an instance, it is now settled, not of imitation, but of literary coincidence.” How many people, I ask, who have been impressed with the pomp and circum stance of tho leading articles, the sensa tionally headed paragraph and all the loud artillery of advertised attack will be likely to become acquainted with this most modest and retiring withdrawal? So convinced am I that they will lie few that I wish again to state not only that I never read a line of either “The Epicurean” or the poem “Aloiphron,” but also to give the real source from which “She” was “plagiarized.” Some time ago a lady well acquainted with Africa wrote tne some notes of native legends. One of them runs as follows: “In the Sneettw (show) Bergen, Cape Col olony, there are immense caves which stretch on and on under the mountains and tho end of which has never been found. It is be lieved by both Boers and natives that in the last cave there is a spring of water, which, if one finds and drinks of it, gives eternal youth. There are endless stories told of ad venturous parties in search of this w ater of life losing their way, meeting dangers both ghastly and bodily, and failing in their ob ject at last. A newly married couple never returned from their search, and it was be lieved that harm had happened to them, be cause of the crimes the woman had com mitted in order to gain her husband. She had killed her first husband and his brother, whom by native law she would have had to marry, as she had no children, and she had bewitched the man (her second husband) so that he followed her about like a shadow and did everything he was told by her.” Hero I found the germ of “She.” It will be seen that, without wishing to lay any particular claim to originality, I may fairly say that I have to some extent developed tlie idea. These charges of plagiarism are easy to make and difficult to disprove. It is uuito impossible for anybody to write anything that does not in somo way touch on ground which has already been trodden by others. The human mind is limited and unchange able; it never thinks anew thought. The most that it can hope to do is to present an old one in anew aspect. I am, sir, your obedient servant, H. Rider Haggard. Hydrophobia at DeLosaepa’ House. Paris tetter to London Telegraph. There w’as quite a panic yesterday in a house on the Avenue Montaigne. A man in his nightshirt was seen writhing and rolling about in the courtyard, uttering the most appalling cries, and calling on tho neighbors to give him a wide berth, as he was mad. Tho servants and hangers-on of the estab lishment had taken the hint and fled for their lives. But there had been some method in this general tauve qni pent, for Dr. Guerin, the well known physician, and the nearest police insjiector had’ lieen communi cated with, and were promptly on the scene. A strait-waistcoat was placed on the unfor tunate mun, who was carried off on a stretcher to the Dcuujon Hospital, while Mme. Charles deLessep* herself drove off in search of M. Pasteur. This is, to all appear once, a very strange case. The invalid, Louis Teste, 27 years of ago and formerly in tho tiro brigade, was iu the sorvieo of "the Lesreps family. Last Monday he took u dog of his to a veterinary surgeon who said that he would keep it for a short time. On the following day Teste Galling to soe how tho animal was getting on, the surgeon replied that the dog was mud. Teste was horrified at tho statement, na he remembered that only a few days before the dog had licked a sore on his faee, and when he returned to the Avenue Montaigne he r.)>okn of the shock which the news had caused to him. He was extremely depressed throughout tho day, could not sleep at night, and going from bad to worse fell into the state which necessitated his removal to the hospital. The question is whether tlii-s is a genuine cam* of rallies produced by tho licking of I cate’s face b v the dog, or whether the sym toms are the result of the shock of which the man complained working oti a very im aginative nature. The affair is exciting a great deal of interest; but M. /'astour will in a short time lie able to throw some light on this case. ./ Like the Perfume Wafted From beds of flower.* Is tho breath that lies 1 been rendered agreeably odorous with Hoxo- i dost, which communicates to the teeth a marble whiteness, and to tho gums a roseate | tint.
