6 GEORGIA A\D FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Two Brakemon Found Robbing Freight Care on the Georgia Pacific Railroad —How a Former Resident of Cuth bert Made Op with a Man with Whom He Quarreled Fourteen Years Ago. GEORGIA. There is a gentleman in Dawson who is living with his fifth wife. Mr. Dupre's factory in Gainesville makes about 5,000,000 matches per day. Home is just now building more houses than at any period in her history. The machinery of the cotton factory at Gainesville has arrived and is rapidly being set up. The Town Council of Perrv has fixed the tax rate for 1887 at *3 50 on SI,OOO, a reduc tion of $1 50. Jasper Superior Court will be held on the fourth Monday in September instead of the fourth Monday in October. An Atlanta boy robbed his mother and stole his dead brother's shoes. He was arrested, but his mother was permitted to take him home. A church building will be erected and a Baptist church organized in Carnesville soon. The sum of $497 50 has been sub scribed for building purposes. It is reported that a few days ago the guard at Bondurant & Joplin’s camp went to sleep while on duty, and that four con victs stole his gun and escaped. The contract, to renovate the court houso at Thomasville was, on Monday, let to Eaves & Chase, by the county commission ers. The price to bo paid for the repairs is *10,578. Work on the new court bouse at Isabella, is being pushed very rapidly, and it is thought that the building will be ready for occupancy by the October term of the Su[>e rior Court. James Hannou was around with a petition a few days ago at Ty Ty to raise money to build anew Methodist church, five miles north of that town, to be known as Damas cus church. The season at New Holland closed last Monday. The late cool weather caused so many of the guests to leave that the mana gers concluded that it would not jiay them to keep open longer. The National Board of Underwriters of New York offer a reward of *.VK> for the ar rest of the incendiaries who burned the stores of Messrs. Watson & Lewis and W. M. Taylor & Cos., in Hawkinsville, on Aug. 8 last. A citizen of Dawson remarked to another recently that a man of that county was a rascal and ought to be in the penitentiary, and now a suit for slander is probable. Two lawyers have been employed to prose cute the case. At Eastman. Thursday, W. T. Bryant, whipping hoes at Camp Gresston, under in dictment for criminal relations and adultery with a female convict, was acquitted by the jury trying his case. This was the only in dictment found. Macon Telegraph: Judge Adams says be is the only Judge of the Superior Court in this circuit, for the present, and he thinks of calling a special term on Monday for the purpose or emptying the jail, passing some orders and appointing a few more bailiffs, who are to proceed at once to gather up ju rors. Some of the oldest citizens say they have never experienced so dry a time in Appling county as the present, some wells that never failed are getting very low, and a com plaint Is made by some who own fish nonds that there is great danger of their fish dy ing from the effects of the sun on the little water in the ponds. Mrs. Elisha Merritt, of Gainesville, who is now over 80 years old, has an iron pot which has been in the possession of the family for many generations. It was brought from Holland,long before the revo lutionary war, and had been in the family for several generations before that. Family tradition makes its age at least 300 years. Newton Bragg and wife, of Dawson, have bo?n confined to their heels by severe at tacks of typhoid fever for the last two weeks. During that time they have been without anything to eat, and their destitu tion was so great that, on last Saturday, a subscription was made in the city for their relief. Sad to relate, they buried a little child of theirs on last Saturday. A meeting of the members of the bar was held at Thomasville Mondav and it was agreed, in view of the fact that it would be impossible to hold Thomas county’s court in the court house, to ask Judge Hansell to .postpone the fall term till the first Monday in December. Judge Hansell agreed to tho suggestion, therefore the October term will be held as above stated, the first Monday in December. A. L. Bond, an employe of the Amoskeag Mills, near Eastman, met with a fatal acci dent on Tuesday afternoon last. He was working at the edger in the planing mill, running a plank through, and in striking the rollers it rebounded, hitting the unfor tunate man in the stomach, causing a very slight abrasion of tho skin, but injuring him so seriously, internally, that he died Wednesday. The non-union men who caused tho strike among the carpenters at Augusta Wednes day all resigned Thursday, and tho men re turned to work. The non-union men all went to a contractor who employes good workmen, whether they be union or non union men. The lumlier establishment that worked sixty hours per week reduced the time to fifty-eight, and now things are all ■erene and no more trouble is feared. The Marshal of Albany has arrested Aaron Kent, who went up from Dougherty county under a conviction of assault with intent to murder, made on a negro at the Vason place in West Dougherty. Ills sentence was for ■five years, but he escaped from Lowe’s scantp after serving only nine months of that time. He has the rest of that term to serve, liesides the four years 'sentence which he will probably get for escaping. Hall county sportsmen will probably find quail scarce this season. The excessive rains and overflows came on aliout the time the Idr is were nesting, and only a few of those rovies that came off early survived the freshets and protracted wet weather. Since the rains, however, ‘-Bob White’’ seems to have determined to try it again, and even at this late day many new nests are found. The birds this season will either be very early or late ones, and will therefore not be as plentiful as usual. It is reported that while three young men were fishing in Alapuhu river, in Irwin county, a few days since, that an alligator knocked one of them into the water and carried him under before his coinnub s could rescue him from the monster. The last seen of him was thirty or forty yards from the place where he was earrlod under the water. One of his arms was seen to rise up out of the water, but was soon lost sight or, never to lie wen again. No names are given. It is said that river is infest**! with some euorniously large and very bold ’gators. A Macon drummer had a narrow escape from what, might have been a laid accident while going to Americus from Lumpkin Thursday. As the cars were passing t hrough a cut. the door of a freight car Just in front of the smoker, by (June means fell of, and striking the side of the embankment, was driven through the window of the passen ger conch following. The drummer was seated at the window which was struck, and was almost covered with a shower of broken glan-i and splinters. The door struck him on the head, causing a alight wound. At Atlanta Henry Rich and John Htovatis are bookad for burglary. The crime is a peculiar rate, the men having been naught rohliing a moving freight train. They were employed aa hrukcnntu, and aa the train was nearing Atlanta on the Georgia Pacific road the euudqteoi rt Hoovered one on top of the car i corn um sides ut meat handed up tk. t,ugh a tcutfkUer by the other inside. j The meat was then thrown off on the side I of the road to be gotten after they went off duty. About 40(1 pounds of meat had been | removed front the car when they were de i noted. Since Yellowstone Kit's arrival in Au gusta, and his distribution of money among the negroes there, they have become quite j impertinent, and have in a number of in j stances insulted white persons passing near Kit's show. Thursday night a Imrlv negro, named Jim Baldwin, insulted a young dry goods clerk who was standing at Ward’s store, on the corner of Greene and Jackson streets. As be did so the young man reached around nnd secured a base hull hat, with which he dealt the negro a fearful blow, breaking his jawbone and injuring hint severely. The young man was arrested. It has Vieen extensively published that a man named Pettijohn, who was tried and convicted of murder in Forsyth county some twenty-five or thirty years ago, and who made liis escape, had been found in Arkansas, and that the Sheriff of Forsyth county had gone for him with a requisition from the Governor. It appears that this is partly a mistake. That Pettijohn has been found is true, but the Sheriff has not been after the man, nor will ho in all probability be called on to go. Pettijohn is now very old and infirm, and will probably live but a short time. The general im pression is that he will not be molested. Fourteen years ago a gentleman of Cuth bert had a misunderstanding with a friend, causing an estrangement and breaking of the warm ties of friendship. Time wore on, and the two drifted apart, the quondam friend seeking a home in a distant part of the country. A few days ago a letter was received by the Cuthbert gentleman from the distant friend of former days, stating that he bad often wished to correct the “millunderstanding." It is needless to say the letter brought a ray of happiness to the countenance of the recipient, though the oc currence had long since passed out of mind, and he hastened to so inform the writer. Tho last surprising event at Dalton is a marriage at the National hotel, at midnight, C. H. llubbard, of Chattanooga, and Miss Nona Taylor, of Birmingham, Ala., being the persons to enter the connubial state. Miss Taylor had been a guest of the Nation al for soinetimo, and on Monday night last Mr. Hubbard arrived from Chattanooga on the night express and proposed the hasty tnarriago to his fiance. She readily consent ed, so a minister was aroused from his slum bers, the groom-elect re] aired to the resi dence of tne Ordinary and secured his li cense, and just as the clock struck twelve the last irrevocable words, which bound the pair were spoken, and an early train bore them away on their bridal tour. The Way’s, Ga., correspondent writes as follows under date of Sept. 9: “An arte sian well is being put down at Way’s by the Savannah. Florida and Western rail way. A good stream of wgter will, it is expected, be found. All that is needed is good wnter to put Way’s on a boom. The crops in this section are fine, especially the rice crop. A large yield is expected. The pluuters are busy harvesting. One planter has threshed out several thousand bushels of the now crop. The merchants are put ting in large stocks, and expect to do a good business this tall. The wife of Mr. Harden, of Brvan Nfiek, died last night after a short iUne>. The store of Mr. E. B. Sutton was entered by burglars a few days ago. The loss was not very heavy. ” The people living about Stone Mountain, Lithonia, Decatur and Redan, are apprehen sive of further trouble with negroes, and within the past few days have become con siderably alarmed. For some time past, there hiis been a great deal of talk along the Georgia railroad, between Decatur and Stone Mountain, of a mass meeting among the negroes. The talk began immediately after Hudson, the negro who assaulted tho lady at Redan, was hung by the mob, and continued without interruption until tho Decatur riot, since which it has increased. With the beginning of this week the talk of a grand mass meeting of the negroes has been revived. The rumor has it that the me -ting will be held in or near Stone Moun tain on Saturday night next. Tho meeting, it is said, will be largely attended, and if it does occur trouble may be one of the re suite. Joseph L. Clarke,a married man about*2B years old, living near Avalon, was arrested Wednesday charged with attempt at rape on the person of Miss Emma Looney, daugh ter of A. C. Looney. Miss Looney is 15 or 16 years of age, of unblemished character and of a good family. Mr. and Mrs. Looney were away from borne, and on Sunday evening Miss Emma walked out from the house a short distance, and hearing someone behind looked around and saw Clarke. He caught her around the waist, put his hand upon her throat and carried her some distance into the bushes. The girl was choked till she could not mako any outcry, but before Clarke left her he was seen and recognized by James Kay, Richard Mosel y and Lucas Looney. Kay is tho brother-in-law of Clarke, and Looney is the brother of the victim. The prisoner denies that ha is guilty. Mention has bean made of the killing, in Crawford county, of a negro named Lucius Futril by a white matt named James Chan cellor. Information was brought to Macon, from Crawford, Thursday which gives tho particulars. It is is said that the negro Lu cius and his wife went to work for Chancel lor on the K. W. Bassett place. On Monday Lucius was put to work on one side of the plantation and his wife on tho other, so that the day and wuge hands would not he together. Lucius did not like this arrange ment and told Mr. Chancellor that hud ne known that he and his wife were to lie separated ho would not have gone to work for him. flomo hot words here passed between them, and at something Chancellor thought was insulting he drew his knife, while Lucius armed himself with a fence rail. This caused Chaiu-ellor to back, and in doing so said he would see tho negro later. That eveuitig, so the information goes. Chancellor went to the house where Lucius and his wife were living, and was armed with a double barrel shotgun. He then told Lucius to bring on bis fence rail. Just what here en sued no one seems to know, except that tho gun was tired and its contents lodged iu the left breast of the negro, making a hole in which a hand could nave been plaood. The negro died almost instantly. Chancellor then fled for parts unknown. He is a farmer. FLORIDA. The Daily Review is tho name of Lake City’s new daily evening piper. Tho Orlando Guards are endeavoring to raise money for a now dress uniform. The total assessed valuation of personul and real property iu Walton county for the year 188< is *BIB,OOO. There is a move on foot among the farm ers to establish a lodge of the Furmers’ Al liance Association in Leon county. Messrs. Hyer and Jonos, of Orlando, drove out u few miles in tho country Wed nesday and succeded in bagging fifty quail. The Orlando Gas Company will be ready to supply consumers in a very short time now, as soon as the materials for manufac ture can be obtained from the North. There is now living in Jackson county James Wodforil (oolored), aged 48 years, who was I Kirn near Uanipbelltou, who has been gradually turning white for tho past eighteen years. Messrs McDonnell and Dorman, capital ist* from Tennowne, are prospecting nt DeFumuk nnd other ]mints along the Pen sacola and Atlantic railroad for u location to build u set of mills. The City Council chamber of Tampa Is now lighted with two fifty-caudle power incandescent electric lights. The probabilities are that the city will ut on early ilay lie lighted by electricity. The dissolution of the firm of Stockton It Htriblitig, of Jacksonville, and the retire ment of Mr Htribllng from the business, is announced. T. T Rt/x-kton, the head of the linn, succeeds to tin- sole proprietorship. A difficulty occurred at A pallia, station No. 4 on. the Florida Railway and Naviga- Utsi libs, on loti Saturday, between Thomas THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1887. M. Braswell and James Kmythe, Jr., and the latter was injured by a knife in the hands of the former. Judge Mitchell has just granted bail to Horace Anderson, the man who killed Thomas Evans in Pa-co county about two weeks ago. Tho amount is placed at *IO,OOO, and Anderson is confident of being able to furnish that bond, with the necessary sure ties, within a few days. Lizzie Abbott, aged 11, of New Smyrna, committed suicide Thursday. Her mother was absent from home for a while, and upoti her return found the child iu convulsions. She admitted taking strychnine, and said: “Mamma, I am tired of living and want to go to papa.” There is no cause known other than a morbid fancy. The jury in the case of tho Orlando and Winter Park railway vs. Annie E. Walker et al., summoned to assess the damages to the property of the defendants, caused by Ihe railway crossing their property, viewer! the property and agreed upon a verdict of *BOO. This was the only obstacle to the right of way between Orlando and Osceola, and work will now be rapidly pushed for ward to completion. A case of "didn’t-know-it-was-loaded” occurred at Lady Lake Sunday. A. Pen nington and Torn Sligh had been chaffing each other, when, as tho latter was coming out of tho dining room, the former picked up his shotgun and leveled it at Tom. Of course it was not loaded. Pennington had been shooting bats with it the day before and had left it unloaded. But Tom Sligh’s younger brother had loaded it with duck shot, and, in consequence, Toni saved his life by dodging suddeuly backwards. The load tore a plug out of his right arm just below the shoulder, producing an uglv but not serious wound. Had Tom not dodged the load would have lodged in his breast. Judge Baker has rendered a decision in the case of the city of Jacksonville vs. Samuel Houston, who had lieen arrested a short time ago by Marshal Hernandez to en force the payment ofja fine of *IOO, imposed in the Mayor’s Court over a year ago, from which court Houston took an appeal to the Circuit Court, and where the judgment of the lower court was confirmed.* In render ing his decision Judge Baker held that there was no grant of power in the organic act under which city governments are organ ized to imprison for the non-payment of a fine and costs, and the judgment under which the prisoner was held was void. He also held, however, that a city could sen tence to imprisonment in the first instance, and the penalty would be the term of im prisonment imposed, and the prisoner could be sent to prison for the time named in the sentence, hut if a flue should be imposed, the collection of tho fine must be by the usual common law remedy. The County Commissioners have made a division of Nassau county, with five Com missioners' and Justices’ districts, two of which are constituted by Amelia Island and the other three tho remaining portion of the county. A resolution was introduced at the meeting of the Commissioners, appoint ing a committee to negotiate for a site for a court house building for Nassau county, at their present county seat. The object of the resolution was to secure a proper build ing for tho county officers, or, if defeated, to put the Commissioners on record. The resolution was defeated. Commissioners Hoyt and Duryee voting in the affirmative, while Messrs. Suorency, Dyal and Higgin botham voted against "it. This will proba bly cause a division of the county, unless the mainland chooses to recede from its po sition as recorded by the Commissioners. A division at Amelia river would be very ac ceptable to the Islanders, and a court house would l>e erected at once that would be an ornament to the county. But when Calla han votes to go to Hilliard as a county seat, there will be music in the air, whether the inducement is a *5,000 wooden building or not. A Story from an Asylum. From the Macon (6 fa.) Telegraph. There is a nice library in connection with the Appleton Orphan Home, in this city, for the use of the children. Appleton, of New York, the great friend and admirer of Bishop Beckwith, the founder of the benevo lent and most praiseworthy institution, anil in whose honor it was named, frequently makes most valunble contributions of books to the library. The rule of the Home is, that when a child finishes reading a book from the library she must lay it on a centre table in tho room, and Bister Margaret, or her faithful and true assistant, Mister Kath erine, returns the book to its proper position in the library. One littlo orphan had often neglected to do this, and sue was repri manded by Sister Margaret. A certain day Sister Margaret found a book in the yard where it had been left by the little girl. Sister Margaret told her she would have to switch her for her carelessness and disobedience. The day wore on without Sister Margaret fulfilling her chastising promise, atm at night tho orphan went to Sister Margaret, and asked her if she did not intend spanking her, and reminded tho good matron that she must not tell a story. But the 1 oving and gentle Sister Margaret hail relented, and told her to go and get ready for bed, and said: “I will let you off this time if you promise not to leave books again in the yard.” The promise was quickly given, with a sweet kiss and a happy good-night. A few mo ments afterwurds Sister Margaret overheard t he child talking to herself iu her room, say ing: “Sister Margaret ought to have whipped me to-night. Disobedient children require whipping. If Tom Woolfollc’s mother had whipjied him whgn he was a hoy he would not have killed all those folks and now be in jail.” His Mother’s Picture. From the Atlanta Wa.) Journal. Early this morning Putrolinan Haynes found a white youth asleep under a coal shute, near the East Tennessee shops. When questioned the tramp, for such h was, re fused to give any account of himself, simply stating that he was “Ward, of South Caro lina.” The gentleman from the Palmetto State was conducted to police headquarters and introduced to Chief Connolly. The persuasive eloquence of the chief, combined with the sight of a row of cells, induced the South Carolina citizen to give a bit of his life’s history. He was seventeen years of age, and ran away from his father, A. B. Wurd, who lives in Hickory. A twelvemonth or so ago R. Lee Ward, which is the tramp's full cognomen, left the pa ternal roof to see a little of the world. He carried with him as baggage, and which lug gage was in possession when interviewed this morning, a corn sack containing a wa ter pitcher, two bed quilts, three cotton sheets, a coat and two sfiirts. When his pockets were searched nothing was found but a photograph of a middle aged lady. "Say, nere,” exclaimed the prisoner, as his eyes filled with tears, “you follows don’t want to fool with that, it’s iny mother’s pic ture.” The picture was returned to him, and he was locked up to await an answer to a tele gram which the chief sent to the young man’s father. An Exclusive Dog. From the Detroit Free Frets. There is a citizen of Detroit who possesses a very handsome, intelligent grayhoninl. This dog will never make any friendly ad vances to any one until he has been regu larly introduced. A few days ago his master met a lady whom he know on Woodward avenue and stopped for a chat. “That’s n very fine dog,” observed the lady, who is ruthor a connoisseur; “how do you do, sir f” But the dog stared indifferently into sisice, ami made no sign that lie heard her. “Major," sit ill bis owner, gravely, “this ladjf is a friend of mine." That was enough. Major frisked up to the lady, poked his long nose into her hand, ruhtied his lieail alb* tioiuitoly on her dress and showed at once that he accepted her as the friend of his master.

He Stance Them During the Midnight Hours, Lassoes Them, and Kata Them. From the New York Herald. The victim of an unusual appetite is Charles Rider. It might be called a morbid appetite, for the bonne bouche which Rider prefers above all other dainties is a cat. Rider is a colored tramp who i-Ame origi nally from Delaware, but during the last year he has been prowling about New York waging voracious war upon all stray felines. Two months ago he was arrested and sent to the Island for catching, killing and de vouring raw a brindle cat, one moonlight night, on Wooster street. His term, how ever, expired on Saturday morning,* and on the evening of the same day he was again at work stalking his favorite game through his old hunting grounds on Wooster street. His equipment was simple, as every true sportsman’s should be. It consisted of a light weight club and a supple hut rather short-range lasso, made of an old suspender and a piece of telephone wire. The best time for cats, according to those who have listened to them, Is anywhere from midnight until dawn, so Rider, who is deeply versed in the habits of the animal, did not begin operations until aliout 12 o’clock. At this grewsome hour he stole forth from his covert and began to travel northward. But although he used every wile he was acquainted with not a cat could he catch all the way up Wooster street to Sixth avenue, via Washington square. Tommy and tabby proved equally elusive, and, finally, at 2 o’clock yesterday morning, tired, hungry, and discouraged, Rider sat down on an ash barrel, at tho corner of Sixth avenue and Twenty-second street anil glared .hopelessly at the shadowy places around him. While he was glaring a long, lank creature stole forth from under a butcher’s wagon and made straight for tho ash barrel, but when its yellow eyes fell upon Rider it halted and sniffed the night air suspiciously. Rider sat motionless, and the creature, concluding that ho was only an unusually largo bundle of rags, crept nearer, intent upon the fragrant contents of the ash barrel. Ten long seconds of sus pense, and then Rider, with unerring accu racy, cast the lasso over the creature’s neck. Wliat followed was well told to Justice Duffy by Policeman Callahan, of the Thir tieth street station, in Jefferson Market Police Court. “The dirthy beggar,” said he, “jorruckod the noose so quick that the poor rraytur hadn’t time to say a worrud. I’d been watchin liim from a dark spot near by, and I started for him on the quiet. He didn't hear me, but just sot there on the ash bar rel and begun to ate that poor cat without, further preparation at all, your honor. I collared him as soon as I could, but what was left of the cat was dead, so I left it, your honor, and locked him up.” Justice Duffy looked rather shaky when the policeman’s tale was done, and motioned the prisoner away from the desk. “There’s no use talking to a beast like you,” said he. “It’s like lecturing a hyena— two months on the island.” Uniforms That a Prince Has. From the London Figaro. I alluded last week to the increase in the number of his uniforms which the recent gazetting of the Prince of Wales as an Admiral of the Fleet would entail, and hazarded a guess as to what that total number must be at tho present time. It would scent that my figures need to bo con siderably and that the full total of uniforms—naval, military, civil, and miscellaneous, including, of course, those pertaining to the various orders of knight hood the Prince holds—cannot be less than 100. This may seem a startling fact to some of my readers, but I may remind them that of military, militia, and volun teer uniforms his royal highness has. or should have, 30. Most people are aware that he is Colonel-in-Chief of each of the three regiments of Household Cavalry, of the Tenth Hussars, and of the Rifle Brig ade, but it is not so generally known that he is also honorary Colorel of eleven East India regiments, including the Sixth Bengal Cavalry, the Guides Corps, and the Second Goorkhns. Of commissions in militia and volunteer regiments he holds seventeen in all, and, as every one knows, ho is honorary Colonel of the Pomeranian Hussars, (BlucVi er’s Own) as well as a Field Marshal in the German army. Among the Prince’s more miscellaneous uniforms may be reckoned those attaching to his office as Lord of the Isles (if, indeed, this office entails even this sartorial responsibility,) High Steward of Plymouth, Doctor of Music, Grand Mason of the Freemasons, Elder Brother of Trinity House, Commodore of five yacht clubs. President of the Society of Arts, Governor of Charter house, and Bencher of the Middle Temple. Thus it will be seen how easily a three figure total may be reached: and granting that in a liberal percentage of cases np uni form has ever to be worn, there must be still a sufficient number of varied costumes left to constitute in themselves a very large wardrobe, and one needing the most sys tematic care in the method of its arrange ment. I have doubts, however, whether the suggestion of a kind of Mme. Tussaud’s devoteil entirely to the exhibition of the Prince of Wales in his various uniforms would lie a popular show, oven if adtnirubly carriedout. It is well to remember the inoral of the saying “ Toujours perdrix which, being translated freely, means it is possible to have too much even of a good thing. Facts lor tho Abbo Larrleu. Letter to the Editor of the London Standard. Without having the Abbe Larrieu’s pam phlet before me it is impossible to meet his statements on the subject of the Great Wall of China in a wholly satisfactory man ner. But, presuming that its general pur port is descrilied in your leading article of to-day, I am able, from personal experience, to state that a more Jlagrant misstatement never was offered to the public as fact. The Groat Wall of China is no more a fig ment of the imagination of Chinese histo rians or European travelers than is the Tower of London. Some years ago, when on the journey from Pokin to St. Peters burg, tne party of which I formed one was detained at Kalgan (Chan Cilia Kow) for something like three weeks, in the task of getting proper transport for ourselves and baggage across the Mongolian Desert. Dur ing our detention in tills town we beguiled the tedium of our days by shooting over the hills to the north, east and west, and on several occasions scaled the wall in our day’s march. Not only so, we traced its course from the hills, along and over which it runs, extending east and west as far ns the eye could reach, and as incapable of being explained away as the Fleet St re t nnd the Strand. The old Jesuit lathers, Gerhilion and Kireher, are to he believed in the matter. It is, of course, possible that in the lapse of ages parts of the wall have disappeared, and my own evidence is good for no more than tho oxistenee of tho wall for some miles east nnd 'rest of the North Gate of the town of Kalgan. How much further it may extend I cannot pretend to vouch front the evi dence of my own experience. But if the Abbe Larriou states that tho square towers along the proposed line of tho ramparts were not connected with a wall, and this " nil. guarded und defended by these towers, does not run through tho valleys ancL over the tops of these hills, he stabs that which is contrary to the facts. If any of the mem bers of the party witli which 1 traveled uro still in England, I am sure that they will lie able to substantiate my statement. A Woman’s Age. A woman, it is said, is no older than she looks. Many worneu, however, look double their actual age bv reason of those functional disorders which wear upon the nerves and vitality, and which, if unchecked, are liable to change the most robust woman to a weak, broken-down invalid.
