She was instantly awake, and not liking the looks of the negro lowered her head, presented a pair of sharp bores Mid want for him The darken ut tered a veil of terror and fled for the wagon hitched in a corner of the lot. The cow, smelling gore, determined to be the maker thereof, and followed the negro with in creasing pace. As he tutnbled into the wagon she struck the wheel with her horns, knocking out two spokes, springing the axle and turning the wagon over, as the negro ‘lit over the fence. The horse went to kick ing, and soon the wagon was in a bad shape. Fred Lowe, the head butcher, ran up and picked up the rope that was dragging from the cow’s horns, turned her so that she fol lowed him into the slaughter house, where she was soon dispatched.

Pensacola Ad ranee- Gazette: The would be sensational canard about a stranger be ing robbed and drowned, by Jim Martin, was known on the streets here Saturday to have no foundation in fact. The stranger in question hired the boat to take a sail on Thursday evening, but went on board the Washington Fire Company's excursion boat and got a $5 gold piece changed, and paid Martin $2 or $3. Martin made his boat fast to the excursion boat’s barge, but left his sails set, which caused the Isjat to capsize and part her lino, when she drifted ashore, where she was found. The stranger, his boy, and Martin all came to the city, safe and sound, except Jim, who was “out a boat” and “in a good deal of whisky”—sim ply this and nothing more. Monday Philip Dzialynski and S.

He then prasetitill to Col. Clarke, in the name of the good citi zens of Fort Meade and vicinity, the follow-- ing articles: One laige silver cast Jr, one silver butter-dish, one silver butter-knife, one set of silver knives and forks. Col. Clark, in a few modest but appropriate re marks, acknowledged the liberality of the citizens of Fort Meade and vicinity, and said he appreciated the spirit in which it was given, aud modestly asserted that the gift wns a complete surprise to him. as he did not think he hail done more tnan he should have done, or that any other honest worker in the cause would have done under the same circumstances. At Apalachicola on last Monday the Board of County Commissioners were in session for the purpose of taking action in the recent local option election. Judge H. C. Hicks, having been employed by the “wet” men to arge their cause, proceeded to do so. He made the following points, viz: 1. That the inspectors, three in number, were appointed by the bystanders viva voce, when, in fact, the inspectors appoint ed by the County Commissioners had not refused to serve. 2. That no deputy regis tration officer was appointed by the Clerk in District No. 1 ; although District No. 1 is the district in which the Clerk re sides. 3. Because no " duplicate re turns had been made to the County Judge. 4. Because the County Commissioners were only a returning board, without authority to canvass the vote in the absence of the County Judge and other other officers appointed by law. 5. Because the returns from District No. 2 were depos ited with the County Clerk and not with the County Commissioners. 6. Because the re turns from precinct No. 2 were not sealed anil delivered in accordance with law.” Ou the other hand the Prohibitionists claim that the election was legal in every partic ular, and they back up their opinions by employing legal talent from abroad to rep resent their cause before Judge Walker. They have- forwarded the necessary jiapers. THE JUJUBE TREE. A Valuable Shrub Bush that Flourishes in Georgia's Benign Soil. From fhe Sandersville (Ga.) Progress. The following esteemed letter was received by the Progress on last Friday, accompany ing a small box of the fruit alluded to, and which is still on our table for public inspec tion; Warthkn, Ga.. Sept. 2, 1887.— Editors Middle Georgia Progress: Gents I send you by to-day’s mail some of the fruit of the jujube tree. From this fruit the confection known of jujube paste is pre pared. White, in “Gardening for the South,” lias this to say of the jujube plum—Ziziwihus Sativax: w "This lias been cultivated at Augusta, Ga., by Mr Change and hv Mr. Chisholm, of Beaufort, S. C. It is a small tree or thorny shrub, from the south of France, hearing an oval, reddish plum, about the size of an olive and enclosing an oblong stone pointed at both ends. It is of a sweet, clammy taste, from which the “jujube paste” is made. It is served up at the table in Italy and bpniu during winter ah a dry sweet meat. The tree is grown in hedge rows about Genoa and Nice. Seeds have been sent out from the Patent Office. They would probably require about the same culture as the pome granate.” The tree I have is about six vears old and the second year in bearing. The fruit falls readily when ripe. Chickens are quite fond of it, and all the fruit-eating birds depredate upon it. It has withstood the winters here in an exposed condition—not being in the least affected. Some people do not like the flavor at first, but like many exotic fruits the taste may be acquired I am very fond of it. The trees may be ob tained from Berekuiau, of Fruitlanil Nursery Augusta, Ga. M. Wart-ben. About four years ago our junior discov ered a clump of this thorny shrub in full bearing, on the old Z. H. Roughton home stead, in the southern portion of our city, and through the courtesy of the familv was allowed to transplant one of them. At the time of their discovery we did not know the name of the fruit, but upon search in horticultural works found the description of the jujube to fit exactly the shrub found. Subsequent investigation devel ojied the fact that tho tree was originally grown here by the late Dr. James R. Smith, on the premises now owned by Dr. T. M. Harris from seed sent out by the Patent Office, and the bunch on the Rough ton place had grown a small switch pro cured by Mr. It. C. Roughton. when a boy, from Dr. Smith. Passing Dr. Harris’ place a few days ago, now occupied by Mr. Q. Richards, we noticed that the growth of young shrubs has spread over a greater por tion of the old vegetable garden. The tree Is also to be found n the premises of Miss M. W. Perry and B. \V. McKinnon. The shrub is quite ornamental, and its tiny white blossoms almost rival the tea olive in fragrance. To Counterfeit is Death. Prom the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun. We were shown yesterday by Mr. John Braziel, clerk of the Rankin House, an old three pence note of revolutionary days. It has been in the possession of Mr. Broziel’s family for generations. One of his ances tors fought, bled and died during that try ing time, and ou his body, among other ef fects, was found the note, which then could purchase a gallon of liquor, a pound of tobacco, half a nigger, and small assort ments of almost any tiling else, except tea, of which our forefathers appeared to be particularly fond, as a tax on that beverage which cheers, but does not inebriate, pre cipituted the struggle. It is printed on coarse linen paper, and oil the reverse side appears these words: “112008 Throe Pence.

PHILADELPHIA: Printed by tO 11 N DUNLAP. 1777. THREE PENCE. THE MUBICAL WONDER. A Georgia Man Tells of His First Meet ing With Blind Tom. Prom the Augusta .Vet cs. Since the recent action of the courts in taking Blind Tom from the custody of Mr. Bethune, his former life-long friend, man ager and protector, has brought him so prominently before the public in the news papers, a few facts concerning his child hood, by one who knew him then, may not prove uninteresting. He was born near the city of Columbus, in Muscogee county, Georgia, of slave parents, the property of Gen. Janies N. Bethune, at that time editor and proprietor of a newspaper called the Corner Stone, but in exactly what year I do not know, as he was some 6 or 8 years, or it may be a little older, when I first met him, in 1855. My first meeting with him was in this wise: I had just married a lew months pre viously, and one of (Ten. Bothune’s daughters had been one of our bridesmaids. On our return from a Northern tour we were in vited to dine at Gen. Bethune’s. During the day music was proposed and upon the piano and flute my wife and I played a tune which we had heard for the first time at one of the theatres in Philadelphia. At the first sound of the music Tom came rushing into the parlor in a single garment, so com mon among the little negroes in the South, and while the music was going on he fell down upon the floor, rolled over, turned somersaults, clapped his hands, groaned, and went through divers motions, really more as if he were ir. pain than experienc ing emotions of pleasure. As soon, how ever. as the last note was played, he sprang up, rushed to mv wife, and, pushing at her, cried out, eagerly: “Miss Fannie—he knew her well —please get away; I wants ter play dat tune.” Aud jumping upon the piano stool he plaved it off perfectly, although I know he had never heard it until that moment, for it hail only recently been published and had not yet come South. To test him, then others played tunes he had never heard, and he would immediately play them off with both hands, just as he had heard them. He seems to have loved all sounds, whether musical or harsh. He loved to do the churning for the family, just to bear the monotonous sound of the dasher in the cream. He has even been known to pinch and otherwise tease babies, just to hear them cry. One habit of his seems to savor a good deal of romance, yet it is true. Being blind he would stray a way from home, listening to the songs of birds as they flitted from tree to tree till he would get lost in the woods, unable to find his way back. Upon such oc casions the most practicable way to find him would be for Mr. John Bethune— his first manager—to go out in the woods anil play his flute, when Tom would hear it, come to the sound and thus get back home. Although idiotic,he was, even at that early ago, endowed with a wonderful memory. After spending the day at GeD. Bethune’s, as related above, it was over six years be fore I saw him again. The war was going on, and one day, on taking a train, I unex pectedly found Mr. John Bethune with Tom on the train. I addressed Mr. Bethune and then Tom, not dreaming that he would rec ognize me, when, to my infinite surprise, he said: “How d’ye, Mr. Sharp; how’s Miss Fan nie?” To which I said: “Why, Tom, how do you know me so well?” He replied: “Oh, I knows you, en Miss Fannie, too; don’t you know when you was at our house aud played dis tune?” and he whistled the very tune mentioned above. On that trip I discovered how the absence of sight had rendered all his other senses more acute, for as we dashed along at perhaps thirty miles an hour he could always tell whether we were passing woods or ojien fields, houses, cuts, embankments, bridges or almost anything else. I remember we entered a small villago on the railroad when I asked Tom what was outside, to which he promptly replied: “A heap of houses.” There was always a warm friendship be tween Tom and the whole Bethune family, and it is an injustice to take Tom from their custody, for he was better off with them than he will ever lie with any one else. They reared him from his infancy, and unless he has changed—which it seems not, from the pajiers—he prefers to remain with Mr. Bo tmuie. A COUNTY-LINE DANCE. The Early Settlers of Four Creeks Have a Shindig Match. Prom the Monroe (Gc.) News. Near the line between Walton and Gwin nett counties there are four creeks close to gether—Big creek and Little creek, Gum creek and Cornish. When that part of the country was first settled thore was in everything great rivalry between the settlers living on these differ ent creeks. Especially did they vie with each other in ail manly sports and in the beauty and sprightliness of their maidens. They danced a great deal around the creeks and such a distinctive pastime did it become, and such great pride did the young people take in cutting a nice pigeon-wing and knocking the backstop, nothing would do but a grand dancing contest. So the buxom lasses and stalwart young swains of Big and Little creeks, Gum creek and Corn ish went to dance it out. An immense fiat rock, on neutral ground was selected, and the dancers made ready for the fun It was a mighty conclave, a giant tussle, a wool-pulling, so to speak, for the supremacy. A day didn’t settle it; a night didn’t settle it, and with a wild hap piness mid abandon the youths and maidens continued to “swing on the corner” until many suns and moons had gone down on the never ending dance. Old Jack Beusely was chief musician, and a jollier white man never drew breath. Mingo, a colored man, played second fiddle. Jack Boa.selv would open tho sets invariably with “Big crik and Little crik form on the right; Gum crik and Cornish ou the left. Gentlemen, bear light on the ladies’ hands and set to yer pardner.” Then after this delivery, with a mighty sweep of his bow and set to from the partners, the music and tho frolic would commence. The wildest enthusiasm prevailed. Men and women danced out their shoes and then went it barefoot. Eye-witnesses tell it that after it was all over they raked up half a bushel of toe nails ut tne great dancing match between Little and Big creeks, Gum creek and Cornish. KxSenator Kerry, of Michigan, who failed In 1882 fur $1,500,1*10. has since worked bard nnd paid off $1,200,000 of Ills debts. MEDICAL. HEADACHE. SICK HEADACHE?! Dear Bno. Mkkk.
