choppers, felling trees Monday, when a
large tree, in falling, broke a section off of

A day or so ago a bucket filled with mor
tar fell from the scaffolding around the new
United States court house at Macon,
upon the head of a colored workman.
Fortunately, the bucket did not turn in its
descent, and struck flat upon the bottom,
which burst through, leaving the head of
the workman completely encased in the
mortar and bucket, just as though a cast
was to be made of the head. As it shut off
the negro’s breathing it was lucky that
another workman was near by to take it off.
Anew religious sect has suddenly sprung
up, mushroom like, near the Augusta fac
tory at Augusta. The new tribe style
themselves the “Kainte.” The Salvation
Army is completely thrown in the sliale,
for, besides the big drum and loud singing,
several new features are introduced. The
washing of the feet is carried out in perfec
tion, and attempts at miraculous cures
made. Service was held in a big
field recently between Brick and Pine
row, at which a large congregation was
present. The services wound up with the
election of an old woman as the l'aith doc
tor.
At Macon the Salvation Army has
dwindled down to half a dozen men and
•women who stir ui> the dust, beat the tam
bourine and sing their battle songs on the
principal streets. Recently one of the lady
captains married a young man named
Charlie Thompson, in East Macon, and left
the army. “Happy” Jack left them some
time ago for more orthodox labor hi the
vineyard. It is now about settled that they
will be expelled by the city authorities be
tween now and the State fair, as it is ex
pected they will make themselves very con
spicuous and perhaps cause trouble during
that time.
At Albany a day or two ago L. E. Welch
noticed bis aog after something on his front
porch, and, on investigation, discovered a
led fox on the banister. His coming out
frightened the fox, and it run out in the
garden and was lost sight of. Later In the
afternoon Lennie Welch discovered it again
in the front yard. He ran in the house, got
his air rifle and shot at it twice, but without
effect. Reynard decided it was time to
leave, and trotted off down the street, and
the last seen of him he was going through
Mrs. Brooks’ yard. He is evidently a taine
one, as a wild one would hardly venture
into the heart of the city.
J. E. Russell, of Macon, had a bill against
W. C. Lyons for $5, and Tuesday Joe
Trippe, who is in charge of the shop, sent a
farpentor named Htringfellow to collect it.
Htringfellow went out and on his return re
ported that there was some misunderstand
ing as to the amount, and that Mr. Lyons was
willing to pay $3 50. Trippe tol l him to go
back and take that amount. Htringfellow
again went to Mr. Lyons, who saw that the
min Hint had been reduced, anil ordered his
lady cashier to pay the bill. In some way,
which doe* not now seem clear, a naught
was placed after the $3 50, and the cashier,
having heen told to iiay the bill. ]iaid $35.
Htringfellow returned to Tripjs* and paid
him $3 50 and then went away. In a short
while the raising of the bill was discovered,
and an effort was made to And Htringfellow,
but he was nowhere to be found, and the
police were instructed to look out for him.
A day or two ago a modest young uian
from the country came to Americn* to sell

The boys of the paid (ire department at
Macon, often find waiting for tire alarms
quite irksome, anil to amuse themselves col
lect all sorts of pets. At the truck house
several kinds of dogs, from the mite of a
black and tan to the tall, lithe greyhound,
have served to keep their several owners
amused, and not long ago they had a par
rot. The latest addition to the collection is
a rattlesnake, which Harry Smith keep in
a bottle. It is said that liofore the lights
are turned down for the night the boys make
a special examination of the cork to see if it
is secure in the bottle. The other night the
foot of one of the boys ramained from un

A GEORGIA ROMANCE.
How True Friends Secured a Big For
tune by Their Fidelity.
A pretty little romance has just culmi
nated in Rabun county, Georgia. At the
have of Tiger mountain, half a mile off the
main road leading to Clayton, lives a small
farmer named George W. Dillard. Mr.
Dillard is about GO years of age, living with
his wife and two sous, the latter aged re
spectively 30 and 25. Early last summer
Mr. Dillard went to his neighborhood post
office, where he found awaiting him a letter
covered over with post-marks, which de
noted that it had traveled a long distance to
reach its destination. The superscription
was written in a familiar hand, but
one which he had not seen in a
generation. He tore the seal and read
the missive, and, sure enough, found it to
to from his wife’s brother, whom he had
seen for the last time in 1849. At that time
James McCurrie was a young man, as was
also George W. Dillard. The news had
reached Georgia of the wonderful gold dis
coveries in California. Young Georgians
who had gone there had written back glow
ing accounts of tho fortunes which were
being made. These descriptions had the
effect of drawing still others southward to
the great Eldorado. Among those who
were full of the excitement were McCurrie
and Dillard. They had perfect**! all ar
rangements to go, and were bidding the
family good-bye when Dillard faltered. The
tearful eyes of McCurrie’s young
sister touched his heart, especially as she
was weeping for him and not for her
brother. Throwing down the bundle he
hold in his hands he declared that he
would stay if the girl would marry him.
To this she cheerfully agreed, so Dillard
remained a Georgia fanner, while Mc-
Currie jumped into tho stage coach and was
borne away. Since that time he had never
been heard of. It was with mingled feel
ings, therefore, that Dillard started to read
the letter from his old comrade. The letter
was a soiled one. McCurrie stated that he
had worked against adverse fortune, de
clining to write to the folks at home until
lie could strike it ricu, but every year
found him striking it poorer, and now, old,
feeble and poor, his great wish was to look
once more upon his native hills, that he
could not do so unless he was sent money
enough upon which to return. Mr. Dillard
read the letter to his wife and sons. “We
must send him the money,” said the old
man, so a cow and a mule were sold and
the money went on its mission across the
continent. Several weeks’ time brought
another letter in which the old
man expressed his gratefulness for
the kindness done him, but he was
too sick to travel then. After that no more
wus heard from him. Last Saturday a large
official envelope was received at the little
post office. It bears the inscription of a
strange hand. The neighbors, one by one,
dropped by and told Dillard about its ar
rival. It was too late for him to get it then,
but he was on hand early Monday morning.
As he read it his hands trembled. It re
cited that James McCurrie was dead; that
he wished to test the fidelity of his sister’s
family; that their prompt response to his
appeal had moved him, and that by his will
his property in California, valued at $1,600,-
000, was willed in equal parts to his sister,
her husband and their two sons. The two
young men are going to California to super
intend the property, which they intend to
convert into cash, when they will return to
Georgia.
GEN. PHIL KEARNEY.
An Eye Witness to the Brave Soldier’s
Death Heard From.
William Root, of Kearney’s division,
writes to the Jacksonville Times-Union us
follows:
In reading vour article in regard to the
death of Gen. Phil Kearney, at the battle of
Chantilly, I did not suppose there was ever
uny mystery about how he was killed to
those who knew anything about it. Our
regiment, the Twentieth Indiana, was in the
first brigade of Gen. Kearney’s division,
Third army corps, and Gen. Kearney’s and
Gen. Stevens’ (the Second division) were se
lected to guard the road from Centerville
Heights to Fairfax Court House, over which
road our army was retreating from the sec
ond battle of Bull Run, and this engage-'
ment was brought on by the enemy
trying to break our linos, and thus cut oif
our only moans of getting our immense sup
ply, ammunition and ambulance trains to
Fairfax Court House. We held our lines
after one of the sharpest engagements dur
ing the war, which lasted from 4:30 p. in.
until dark. Gen. Stevens -vas killed in the
early part of the battle. Gen. Kearney or
dered the picket detail from our brigade,
and any one familiar with Gen. Kearney's
picket duty knows full well that after an
engagement he would place them in person,
so that if he was attacked in the night he
knew just where his troops were, and in
putting our pickets out about 8 p. m.
Gen. Kearney, in company with
Capt. Randolph, the Chief of Artillery,
was at the head of the column. We
did not suppose that the enemy would ad
vance their lines, but wo ran into their
pickets not more than 350 yards from our
Bus of battle, finding them in a small grove
of second-growth pine. There were not
over a dozen shots from the enemy. We
did not fire at all. and no one was killed but
Gen. Kearney. His body was sent through
the lines at daylight next morning; hence
he was not surrounded,as I was not over 300
feet from him when he was killed. We
then felt that we had no one to direct us.
History has never done Gen. Kearney jus
tice. We were the rear guard in the re
treat from the front of Richmond, and were
in every on that retreat.
Gen. Kearney would put out the pickets
himself, and this wvas the first time that
corps badges were worn by his old division,
ours being the Red Diamond, as he said “I
want to know every one of my men in this
groat movement.” Never was there a di
vision of soldiers that loved their gen
eral more than we did Gen. Phil Kearney,
and to his bravery is due that McClellan’s
army reached tho James river.
A Marvelous Unguent.
From the Kansas City Times Boston Letter.
A little while ago I wrote something
about anew discovery recently added to the
pharmacopoeia by a Boston expert in chem
ical science. I have received so many let
ters since containing inquiries as to the
nature of this “woolfat," and the manner in
which it may to obtained, that I suppose I
may as well answer them in print. The
stuff is not a proprietary remedy. It is
merely a substance derived from the wool
of sheep by steeping the clippings
in hot alcohol. By this process a yel
low grease is precipitated, chemi
cally identical with an element found
in the human bile and in certain vegetables,
sueh as peas and beans. This grease lias
one very peculiar property. When applied
with rubbing it pusses directly through the
skin, and in this way acts as a nutrient to
the fattv tissues beneath. Thus it has the
effect of smoothing out the wrinkles pro
duced by the attenuation of these tissues
which come with age. An antiquated
relative of mine has nearly re
moved from her temples the unwelcome
footprints of a thousand figurative crow* by
six weeks’ use of this marvelous unguent .
Likewise, when rubbed upon the scalp, it
prevents Imldnexs by supplying to the hair
an element of it* growth, tlj luck of which
causes it to fallout. It Is useful as a lose
for ointments, the active ingredients of
which it convoys through the cuticle. To

HENDERSON’S EXPLOIT.
A Well Known Young Man’s Balloon
Ascension and Its History.
From the Philadelphia Press.
James Henderson, who is distinguished in
many characters, among them that of the
friend and backer of Dominick F. McCaf
frey, pugilist, has essayed to reach fame in
another role. Since ho received quite a
comfortable little fortune by legacy he has
aspired to “go up in a balloon.” He went
up on Thursday, Sept. 15, to satisfy his am
bition.
Several months ago Prof. John Wise, tho
Aeronaut, was approached by Mr. Hender
son, who was desirous of purchasing a seat
in the Professor’s balloon whenever he made
liis next ascension. As an evidence of good
faith Mr. Henderson pressed upon the oero
naut five crisp $lO notes as a retainer. When
next the balloonist started upon a trip
among the clouds Mr. Henderson was not
on hand. He was hunting alligators and
eating tropical fruits right from the tree
with Mr. McCaffrey in Florida. Prof.
Wise, who believes his month’s ex
istence not fully rounded unless he
has an ascension, concluded that during the
Constitutional Centennial celebration would
to a good time to go up, but the Centennial
Commission declined to invest in an exhibit
so lofty. In this emergency the Professor
met Mr. Honderson, and suddenly remem
bered that he had not yet given value for
the crisp $lO notes.
An arrangement was made whereby Mr.
Henderson was to pay for the gas and
thereby secure an ascension in the “Inde
pendeuce. ”
Mr. Henderson was determined that the
balloon ascension, with himself as the par
ticular attraction, should not to a failure.
He started a subscription among the busi
ness men on Broad street, between Diamond
and Dauphin. lie raised S7B, paid for tho
gas and when the great civic procession
started down Broad street that day the bal
loon began to fill with gas. Mr. Henderson
was the first to jump in, and Prof. Wise’s
son John took his place beside him. The
Independence slowly rose, the drag-rope
was paid out by Prof. W ise. At
a height of 1,500 feet she began to
move over the city in a southerly direction.
When about Point Breeze she descended
into a northerly current and came back up
Broad street. At Spring Garden street the
drag-rope touched the tops of the houses
and the balloon swoojied toward the earth.
It was a dangerous place to land and young
Mr. Wise called upon his companion to
throw out some ballast. Honderson seized
a tog of ballast, lifted it to the edge of the
ear and sixty-five pounds of sand was sifted
into tho eyes and mouths of the people be
low.
HOW GREAT THE DANGER WAS.
“Heavens! What have you done?” cried
young Wise, and his voice reached Hender
son’s ears at an altitude of 6,000 feet.
Before the amateur balloonist could reply,
the Independence was 10,000 feet above the
enrth and still ascending. There was dan
ger that the enormous pressure upon the
tolloon would burst tho bag and collapse the
air-ship. Higher and higher it went, and
the great bag was distended until it cracked.
Henderson aid not realize his danger, but
young Wise did. He seized the valve-rope.
The balloon came to a standstill, and hung
a mere speck in the sky, 12,000 feet above
the city. The aeronauts breathed with dif
ficulty. Young Wise clung to the valve
rope and the balloon began to descend. It
fell in an easterly direction, and at about 5
o’clock landed in a field near Haddonfield,
N. J. Mr. Henderson returned to the city
that night to receive tho congratulations of
his friends. He has been receiving them for
several days.
