Rice birds in large droves are attacking the oat fields in Dougherty county. These birds never appeared in those parts in any thing like large numbers until last year. They evidently like the oats of Soutifwest Georgia, and are going to become regular visitors.

A gentleman from Oconee says that Young Robinson, the negi-o burglar now iu Athens, in jail, in undoubtedly the negro who did all the burning in Oconee county and fired the town of Watkinsville. There is almost conclusive proof that he burned Mr. Marshall's store. The gentleman says if this negro is carried to Watkinsville he will certainly bo lynched, as the people ore outraged at his crimes. J. F. Bate, of Blufftou, tells of what came near proving Colquitt Hodge’s last bee hunt One day last week Mresi-s. Pate, HMge mid others robbed a bee tree.

OKkthor,* fcho: Ed Peck, of Wood- T‘ l! . ywßy mended tho winding chain a watch, to do which be had to * drill a hole so small that the point of a needle served as a rivet. So small was tho amount of point used that its absence could not be detected by one sewing with the needle afterwards. He has also built a small steam engine just large enough to run a sewing machine, unit yet a perfect counterpart of a large engine. The wonder is that he does this work without tools or material, only such us he improvises. On Friday last Rowell Shiver, relief driver on tne East Macon and Gilesville street railway line, left his house in South Macon ip company with two of his cousins from Cochran. He was last seen in their company at the union passenger depot about 10. o’clock that night. His familv made many inquiries for him, but so far have not been able to learn of his whereabouts. He is a man of altout years of age, and never left his family without explanation. Tues day morning one of the children died and Supt. Yo#s was sent for and went out aud relieved their wants as far as jiossible. He found a second child in a dying condition. There was a little money due .Shiver which was turned over to the suffering family. His disappearance is shrouded in mystery, and his family are greatly distressed in con sequence. At Macon Monday night the police were called on to remove two young men from a Sixth street brothel, the proprietress! saying that they were noisy. Two of the boys were locked tip and a third summoned. Tuesday morning, before the Recorder, these young men, who proved to be converts of the Sal vation Army, stood up and plead for them selves. Tne one accused of being boisterous stated that one of the women came up to the Salvation Army barracks and persuaded him to go home with her. as she was afraid to return alone. He did so, and his com panions followed, and the three were thus tempted to enter the place of sin. They were not drunk, and it was not proveirthat they were particularly disorderly, so one was dismissed aud the other two were fined $2 50 apiece. Tho daily demand on the water tower at BnttisWiek ruhs from 25,000 to 50,000 gal lons, according to the weather; dry, hot, sultry, dusty days being the ones requiring tho 50,000 gallons. From tho first day the tank was filled there never has been less than 50,(XX) gallons in it at any one time, and no night does Manager Wynne ever go to bed before the tank has 112,000 gallons in it—even full. There were 80,000 gal lons in the tank tne night of the Dil lon block fire, when the fire was all out, and 00,000 in the tank the next morn ing after the Kaiser block fire. When a fire occurs the manager only allows the tank to supply the demand until lie can get up steam, say twenty miuutes. He then cuts off that supply and applies the pump direct on to the mniiis and thus increases the pres sure and stops the drain on the reservoir, so that if his pump should become disabled at any time he would have a tank full to oper ate with. Market street, Athens, was the scene of a terrible fight between three negro women Monday. A oolored woman from East Athens came over to the city with war mint and scalping knife in search of Mary Willingham, who she claimed had stolen her husband and his affections away from her. The East Atheniess claimed that Mary had conjured her husband and worked the rabbit-foot racket on him. They met near the market house, and after a few words they hitched, and parasols, calico, hair, and occasionally a piece of hide, could be seen flying through tne air. Adeline Heard came on the scone while the fight was raging the fiercest aud tho hair aud hide flying the thickest, and attempted to part them, but to her surprise they both turned upon her and soon had her sailing around the corner. The drosses of both tho women were torn off, and they went in search of a policeman in a very nude condition. The Mayor will settle the trouble. ______ FLORIDA. The schooner Frederick H. arrived at Pen sacola Monday from Tampa with 50,000 oranges to order. There is a colored woman in Branford who recently devoured twenty hard-boiled eggs at one sitting. The lugger Santa, now at Pensacola, has 1,000 dozen empty beer bottles on board des tined for New Orleans. The Pensacola Board of Health Monday went over to tho station and inaugurated tho summer quarantine, Five Florida Southern railroad conductors recently got their discharge almost simulta neously. The reason is not stated. Anew post office known as Bridgeville has just been established ; a West Putnam, near Keuka, and mail will hereafter be sent there for the lieople living in that immediate neighborhood. In the First Congressional district of Flori da there was not a person between the ages of 17 and 23 years who sought the opportu nity of getting an education at the West Point Academy. The Catholic church at, Gainesville will be enlarged fifteen feet iu lengthen the origi nal plans. Tho house will be a model of modern architecture, and will be a great or nament to tho city when completed. W ork is still progressing on the lighthouse of New Smyrna und other buildings adja cent thereto. The absence of the master earp-ntor has delayed matters in that de partment somewhat.. If nothing unforseen happens, ull will he ready for occupancy the coming fail. Work on the new Methodist Episcopal church building, at Gainesville, is pro gressing rapidly, and tho house will soon be ready for dedication. It is twenty-one feet longer than it was to be by tho original plans. When finished it will be a most com modious house of worship. J. O. Mathews, of Citra, had tho misfor tune of lasing a cigar box full of money Inst Saturday. He took a seat at the broad gauge depot to wait for the train, and when he got up to take tho train left the box be hind. Ho returned to Ocala in search of it in tlie afternoon, but failed to find it. TbeJSeorotary of the Treasury, Saturday, awarded contracts for the construction of beacons at the following named points in Pensacola harbor: Fort Mcßae and Fort Barrancas, #1,3(5; Devil's Point, Escambia Bay, #1,280 ; Bnnta Maria do Galvez Bay, #2,140; and ou tho lump at Santa Maria de Galvez Bay, #475. All the contracts were awarded to W. L. Campbell, of Birming ham, Ala. • E. I). Chamberlain, representing the North American Mining Company, is iu Gainesville consulting about boring an artesian well suitable for the wants of the •‘y. He has charge of boring the well for Mr. Flagler, of tlie,Ponce de Leon iitfst. Augustine. He is confident that a well of the proper dimensions can lie put down that will furnish with water tlie city for years to come. The one lit St. Augustine furnishes 10,000,000 gallons in twenty-four hours, which is about 70.(X)0 gallons per minute. M. B. Barnwell, who l'esides on First street, near the Hanford annex of Bt. Ger trude, has just completed the boring of a well. At a depth of forty-five feet he struck a large vein of water, which is now flowing n strong stream of one aud a hall inches in diameter, mid the well, says Mr. Barnwell, will liave to be supplied with a larger pipe, ns tlie water is forcing itself un around the piping iu great quantity, lie will put a two-inch pipe down at once. The water is sulphur, but not so strong ns the water at the ice factory. The State Medical Association met nt St. Augustine Tuesday afternoon, Dr. Porter presiding. There were present I)rs. AUyn, Ames, Alba, Auderjon, Caldwell, Daniel, Doan, Drew, FemnnUcz, Fisher, Hawes, Hicks, Kenworthy, Knight, Lyons, Mallei#., Matthews, Rainey, Samuels, Smith, Shiite, Smith, Thomas, Wakefield, Dr. Midillcton, U.

One gentleman says tliat he has already sold over 1,000 dozen paii-s of these goods to one retail firm alone for the present year. The facts iu the death of T. J. Brown, as received thus far, are that he was en gaged at Pine Bluff in repairing a car on one of the railroads there, the car nt the time standing on a side track. Through the carelessness of a switchman an incoming train, which should have run in on the main track, was switched off on the side track, and Mr. Brown, not being aware of his dan ger, was struck by the train and died in six hours from the injuries received. The switchman, realizing what had happened through his carelessness, lias disappeared, fearing to face tho consequences. Mrs. Brown has sued tho railroad company for #20,000. A 8. Matlack took the body to Eaton, 0., the old home of the Browns, where the burial was held with Masonic honors. A negro man by the name of Abe Bozo man, fils wife liebeeca, and a woman known about town as Emma McNulty, engaged in a scuffle at Palatka about 10 or 11 o’clock Sunday morning for the posession of a revolver. It seems that the man wanted the pistol and the women tried to keep him from getting it. lathe struggle the pistol, as usqal in such cases, was discharged, the ball striking Enuna McNulty near the navel, anil passing through the body, inflicting what, must prove a fatal wound. The aecidont occurred in Emma’s house, on Hap good street, near the jail, and the shot drew quite a crowd to the place. It is next to im possible to get the particulars of the shoot ing. as no one seems to know exactly how it occurred, and Emma, tho wounded woman, has very littlo to say about it in any way. The woman received every medical atten tion, but the physicians say there is no chance for her recovery. Hon. Ernost Washington, one of Rt. John’s county representatives, was home from Tallahassee on Saturday looking after the proposed cutting off of one member from St. John’s county in the new apportionment under tho new constitution. It would ap pear that, as indicated in the census taken about a year ago, tho population has so much decreased in this county that it falls below the counties entitled to two represen tatives. But it is claimed, and probably very justly, that the census was so imper fectly taken that to base any representation upon it would do this progressive county a great injustice. At the last general election, held in November, over 1,500 registered voters were on the books in the St. Augus tine precinct alone, and the city of St. Au gustine has upon her municipal registry books some 1,400, the authenticity of which can not be doubted, and this should indicate the county’s right to two members. At McClonny it is learned from reliable sources that it is more than probable the men now in jail at Jacksonville, charged with the assault upon Zaek Haddock, are not the real perpetrators of the deed. A party at McClenny, who claims to have “in side” information, says that the arrest and alleged confession of one of the men ate in tended simply as a “blind,” given out by the Sheriff and other officers to throw the real criminals off their guard until they can be caught. This party says that the men who committed the assault live at Sanderson. He says that those men and the horses they rode answer fully the description given of Haddock’s assailunts, and that Duval county officers are now in that neighborhood search ing for them. It is claimed that the morn ing after tho assault was made three mea were seen within ff fiiiluS'Xff' Jacksonville, and that in their conversation one of them said: “Well, I wonder ljaav Zack feel# .this morning I" to which thastier n#oti, milled: “Well, I’ll bet be'frets fcoret Xc ain’t dead.” The party who ’ ovenTedni this drove immediately to Jacksomalle and re poi-ted the matter'to the offiCMTOipd akpnsse was sent in pursuit. The men are said to 1 be in the neighborhood of Sanderson now herding cattle. At Jacksonville Luseius McQueen Loyd, who wag discharged Monday afternoon by Justice Jack-sou, Before whom he hail been arraigned on a charge of bigamy brought against him by one Mrs. Mary A. Loyd, nee North, was again rearrested Tuesday morn ing upon an indictment found against him by tlie grand jury now’ in session, charging him with “polygamy,?* Mrs. Loyd, alias North, came to Jacksonville from Colum bia, S. C., about ten days ago and recog nized Loyd, who was a ' gatekeeper at the Florida Railway and Navigation railway Brooklyn crossing, as her former husband, sued out a writ charging him with bigamy, as having been married to her at Columbia in 1888, and charged that he had married at Jacksonville in 1885 Miss Henrietta Mann, with whom he is now living. She had not sufficient proof to satisfy tho Justice. Monday, however, her brother, living at Augusta, Ga., who had been tele graphed for, arrived, and finding that Loyd had been discharged by the Justice, went t>efore the grand* jury aud procured the indictment upon which this second ar rest was made. All the parties to this com plicated domestic embroglio seem to tie well to-do, respectable people. The first Mrs. Loyd, or Miss North, is a decidedly hand some and intelligent young blonde, and has won friends and sympathizers by her de meanor since arriving at Jacksonville, while Loyd and his present family, among whom is an aged mother, are well thought of and industrious people. Loyd is; again in jail, and will have to stand his trial, probably at the present term of tho Circuit Court. Bought Like Cattle. Prom the FI Pc wo Inter-Republican. There is a reservation at the mouth of Klamath for the Indian tribes living in Northern California. The squaws or young women are vendible commodities, and are put upon the market at a price supposed to correspond with their charms. A girl's choice is not consulted in the matter, and if a rivalry exists she is knocked down to the most liberal offer. A maiden of comely ap pearance and having n talent for plaiting nnts. baskets and other ornamental wicker ware is, of course, a more merchantable ar ticle than her sister without accomplish ments nml without Ijenutv. The price paid for a girl of the desirable kind is iu the neighborhood of twelve red-headed wood peckers. a broncho and a breech-leading rillc: woodpecker heads being valued at 88.50 apiece, and the tiony and gun at about f-0 each, making the price of the girl $lO. Th- amount varies, of course, according to the 11.'.uncial standing of the purchaser and the avarice of the parent*. It occurs occasionally that ns much as $l5O is given for n girl, hut. she should lie pomessed of un ■ usual allurements and the purchaser a nabob. The lazy buck, when he has purchased a nominal wife—for they do not consult the laws ir. respect to marriage—at once re 1 (Hires the lady to enter upon all the hard work obtainable. The women pack wood from the fores'.s in liaskets, whirh arc car ried ou the back and supported by a band which encircles the forehead. They also collect gold dust from the exposed bedrock in aljamlnnod mines, which is handed over with religious regularity. It is a fact that the Indian women on the Kahunath are ab solute slaves, but they are faithful and lov ing, no matter how harshly treated. Advice to Mothera.

It soothes tho child, softens the gums, allavs alt pain, re lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes.

Pareloe when they first played Bartley Campbell’s “My Partner’ in San Francisco. It scored a hit on the opening night, and a day or so after the opening McConnell happened across a Chinese paper that is printed semi occasionally in ’Frisco. He rushed to the theatre with it aud found Aldrich. “Look hfere!” be said, “Chinese paper with a big notice in it about “My Partner.” Just had it read tome.. It’s great. V* e’ 11 have the house full of pigtails all the rest of “Where, where?” asked Aldrich, jumping up. “Why, right there!” replied the joker, Slaving Ids finger on a line of wash-house ieroglyphics that ran up and down the page. “It caps up the show in great shape, and tells the rat-eaters to turn out and see it.” “Well, now; that's something to send East,” fluttered Aldrich. “I’ll go out and get a few copies.” A little later on, McConnell found Pars loe, who played the Chinaman in the piece.* “Did you see this notice in the Chinese Double Tongue about the show. Gives vow a great send-off. ” he observed to Pars loe. “No; where is itf’ “Why, right there. It says you could monkey abound Chinatown till your pigtail fell out awl they would never got unto you for being anything but a simon-pure chop stiak," and McConnell pointed put some inof “marks” on a different page of the paper. “Well, I guess that’s pretty good,” said Parsloe. “Those Eastern ham critics think I can’t play a Chinaman, hey? I’ll just send a few of these papers East.” He went out and bought half a dozen copies, and he and Aldrich met at their hotel and started iu to tell each other of the unusual notice that their peformance had elicited. “I’m going to send some papers East,” said Aldrich. “I’ve got the article marked with a blue pencil.” “So am I,” said Parsloe, “but say ! you’ve marked tho wrong piece. Here it is on the fourth page.” “Nothing of the kind. It’s on the first page, next to the last column. McConnell pointed it out himself.” “He told me that was it—right there on the fourth page.” The partners looked at each other signi ficantly. “Say, Charley, did you get anybody to read this to you r “No! Did youT’ “No.” They folded up their papers without a word and went quietly together to the near est interpreter. One of the art cles was a discussion of the anti-Chinese bill, and the other told how to mix up a del g itful mess as opium. McConnell drank champagne that night, and Aldrich and Parsloe paid for it. News for the Astors. From Tid-Bit. The rural idea of the manner in which the Astors and Vanderbilts live is amusing, and will doubtless be highly flattering to the persons named. A man traveling “down in Arkansaw” heard two old women talking before a cabin door. One of them, with a clay pipe between her lips, said: “It do beat all how some folkses hasev’ry thing a mortal body could ast fer, while others, like you an’ me, Miss Peterby, is poorer’n Job’s turkey all the born days of onr lives. Now, you’ve heern tell of them Vanderbilts an’ Astors there in New York, ain’t you f" “Duno but I hev T ANARUS” said “Miss l’eterby.” “Well, I’ve lately heern some things ‘bout how they carry on. My man he got it straight from Zimri Perkings, an’ Zim he got it from his wife’s mother’s uncle’s nevvy, who takes a paper printed in New York, so it must be true. ’ “I ain’t a doubt of it.” “Well, if you'll bleeve me, old Mis Vand erbilt don’t purtend to even wash her own dishes. She don’t even make her own bed— her nor Mis Astor, neither, and they both sleep in pink velvet night gownds srimmed in lace at a SI,OOO a yard, and embroidered in diamints that cost millions on millions.” “The good land!” “Yes, sir! An’ Mis Astor’s bed-stid is solid gold with diamint knobs on it big as goose eggs, an’ ev’ry time she goes out she has twenty coal-black horses hitched to her solid gold charyot, and she stands up in it dressed all in white satin with her hair bangin’ down her back, a throwin’ twenty dollar gold pieces to the beggars.” “NawJ” “ ‘Deed an’ its true —ev'ry word of it. And when Mr. and Mis Vanderbilt goes out they have their carriage drawed by forty milk-white steeds with a coal-black' nigger with a diamint ring in his nose, leading ev’ry horse; and Vanderbilt he lays back ou his velvet cushions smokin’ a pi[>e that cost a clean billion.” “You don’t mean it.” “I do that. Oh, I tell you it’s a fine thing to be rich, Mis Peterby; an' I reckon alike qs not you an’ me’d carry on jest like that, if we only had the means to doit with”. “Like enuff. like enuff—anyhow, I know I'd have me a good green an’ red gingham gown, an’ all the salt mack’rel I could eat, fer once.” “An’ I’d git me some genyuine Scotch snuff, an’ some red-glass year-bobs, I would.” , BROW jfß IKON HITTKUS.
