Columbus Enquirer-Sun: Rather a strange -tory was relate*! to an Enquirer- Sun scribe Monday The story runs a fol lows: Four or five days ago a young white girl, giving her name as Bonny- Grier, ap je-ared in the neighborhood of Wynn's hill, seeking someone willing to give her a home, tshe was poorly clad, and said that she was weary and hungry. Finally she stopped at the residence of Airs. Fannie Hurt, and that kind iady decided u> give her food and shelter. The girl is between 12 and PI years of age. Sbe has a very had memory, or erne ia purposely reticent about herself. All that '-an b<- learn**! from her is that her parents lived in Texas until two months ago, per tat her died. Her mother tnen removed to Harri- county, Georgia, bringing her daughter with her. A!>out a week ago her mother also died. Here comes the trange- 1 part of the story. After her mother’s death the girl says a man brought her from Harris county t> the outskirts of the cjty near the Georgia Midland rai iroad, and there he left b<-r. Kin- *ould not tell what jeirt of Harris county she came from, or the name of tlie nun who brought her to this city. The girl is apparently sincere in w hat she says ard appears to he very intel ligent. This is a strange case, and one that wili bear investigation if the facts stated to the reporter are true. The people living on the Kinchefoone, near Line '-reek, in Sumter county, have 4*en missing their pigs, poultry, lamb*. etc., for some tirn<-, and Thursday night L. P. Clark, G. W. Ivy. T. A. Cato and Ed Ivy, armed them-elve* with axes and guns, • ailed their d*>gs and went on the warpath. About 9 o'clock, while traversing the swamps, the dog* -tart.* Ia "varment," and U>e excitement begun. Tliere was racing and fighting ofT in the buh and slash of the swamp, and the dog* seemed to get the worst. As soon as. the boy - would get in close proximity with their light, the beast would give a spring, mount a tree and get out of sight, for a moment or two. At la-t it was found to be a large wild cat. and then the boys determined to have his "har.” The excitement grew intense when the dogs put in an appearance, with ears torn into ribbons and covered with tdocxL The •at took to a large tree, when one of the party shot it. This only made the animal furious, and with an unearthly- shriek it sprung from the tree onto the back of a dog and commenced to tear and bite with teeth end claws. The other <l<>gs pitched in and pretty soon they were ail in the deep waters of the creek fighting. As the dogs were worsted they would turn toward the creek hank, and the cat w-uiil try to escape, but as soon as it* head would lie turned it* as sailant* were it, and in this way it was dispatched about 2 o'clock Friday morning. The dogs won’t be in shape for another cat in a long time. A crowd gathered in Ben Smith's district, in Gwinnett county, a day or two ago to shoot for a beef, and the boys were* unite lively and everything passed off pleasantly for a while, when .J. M. Baxter and John Philips got into a controversy about shoot ing. and Philip* told Baxter he couldn’t hit a .shingle. One was thrown up and it fell before Baxter eould shoot. He tried it a second time and failed to shoot again until the shingle fell; then Philips proposed to bet 25c. that he could not hit his hat. The money was put up and he missed the hat. From this they cot into a wrangle and were about to fight when friends interfered and they agreed to drop it. Philips did not seem to be satisfied and told John Sells that if he would get Baxter’s gun away from him he would whip Baxter Sells borrowed the gun, and tnen Philips catne up Ix-hind Bax ter, who was squatting down, and struck or pushed him over on his face and jumped on him. He struck three or four blows, when Baxter called to Kennedy to pull him off. They were separated, and as nt*m a* Baxter got up be tried to get liis gun and Phili[w got a rock to renew the fight. Sells refused to let Baxter liave the gun, and Phiii]*s walked off ten or fifteen step*. Baxter asked him what he was run lung for, and he replied b w as not running. He then went to Bill Kennedy and said: “Catch me; I am going to have one of them spells.” As he said this he sank to the ground, and died in two or three minutes. The witnesses all agree that Baxter did not hit Philips, and Dr. Mitchell made a thor ough examination and could find no bnuse or wound. He is, therefore, of the opinion that Philijw' death was caused by undue excitement, and probably a rupture of some of the vessels of the heart. The following is the verdict of the jury: “We, the jury, summoned and sworn to inquire into the causes that led to the death ot John Philips, now lying •lead before us. after hearing the testimony and after a post-mortem examination, con ducted in our presence by Dr. T. K. Mitch ell, find that John Philips came to his death from natural causes, occasioned by heart affections.” FLORIDA. The public school of Palatka has ninety scholars, and expects to have more.

Kissimmee City. Bartow, Plant City, Lakeland and Tampa, where they will stay over night, (in Saturday they w ill visit Manatee and places on Tampa hay. and returning will arrive in Jackson ville on Sunday. The trip is without politi cal or other special significance. Tuesday night Mrs. Beatrice Rogers breathed "her last at Palatka, after being confined to her bed only a short time. She wa* VI years of age and the widow of the late Joseph Roger* formerly a well known citizen of Jacksonville. The deceased was a native of St. Augustine, but went to Jack sonville thirty-five years ago and has since resided there. The circum stance* attending the # lady's death were indeed very sad. It will lx? re membered that on the evening of May 23 her son Joseph, in whom her fondest hopes ■seemed to centre, and w ithout whose pres ence life amounted to a burden, was sud denly and without warning stabbed in the back,in a saloon in this city, by a companion named Bml Garnie, a friend who was on a drinking spree. After reviving the fatal stab the young man ran across the street to a drug store, but just a* he reached the pavement he fell prostrate and lifeless. This sudden termination of the young mans life seemed to break the aged mother’s heart, and it is said that since that time she has barely existed, apparently without hope or energy, her movement* being more mechanical than human, and her face was changed almost to marble, across which no one had ever been able to trace a smile. The gang of desperadoes infesting Max weli, alxiut whom several mentions have been made in this paper, had been commit ting new and fresh outrages. Some days ago four of them attacked a man in daylight while walking the railroad track between Maxwell and Baldwin, and not only robbed him of all hi.s valuables, but twat him severely and left him for dead. The gang is composed of five persons, four negroes and one white, and they have been con stantly committing outrage*, which have as yet gone unpunished. Repeated efforts have been made by the citizens residing in that community to stop their depre dations, but they have so far failed. Their former outrages included the rob bing and serious beating of silvers I men and attacks on others. The posse gotten up to capture them made a search, but failed to find them. Wednesday morning two of the live went to the house of Mrs. Butler, who lives within a half mile of Maxwell, and de mand'd a breakfast. This was at first re fused, lut fearing other and worse trouble from them, if she still refused, and being threatened w ith double-barreled shotguns, the breakfast was given them. After eating breakfast, they went through her cane fxiteh, and each cut ns much cane as lie could lift, and left for the swamp. Airs. Butler’s two grown sons and Mr. Wilby started in pursuit of them with double barreled shotguns, but the negroes had got to the island upon which they live in the swamp near by, after which pursuit was useless. They robbed n respectable colored man named Titus Phillips of S2O last Saturday morning. These desperadoes have a camp in the immense swamp which lies between Maxwell and Baldwin, and their tracks are so well covered that arrest and detention is almost impossible. These scoundrels anil thieves are not content with highway rob bery and would-be murder, but regularly and systematically plunder the ears of the Flor ida Railway and Navigation Company. Their habitation is on a small island in the centre of the swamp, and ix*ing encouraged by their past ventures and success, have about commenced a reign of terror, and persons who are required to pass from one point to another, or even those who have to go out of hearing distance of others are liable at any moment to lie attacked. Not content with the depredations and outrages perpetrated a day or two ago, they removed two rails from the track, it is supposed for the purpose of wrecking and train robbing, and it is hard to tell what villainy they will be up to next. Knocked Out In One Round. From the Fort Gaines ((/a.) Star. A few days ago we put up some cloth posters over the city, advertising the Star. We notice that a few of them have been torn down. Now we know this will meet the eye of the unprincipled slink who re moved them, and we intend it personally just tho same as though the low-lived vag abond w ere cowering before us and listen ing to a verbal expression of our senti ments. Any infectious human skunk who is too cowardly to adopt o[xin and gentle manly measures under all circlin’ stances would disgrace a mangy cur with which he would associate,and we think tho miscreant who engaged in this illegal and underhand business falls 4,000 fathoms lower in tho scale of humanity than such an individual. This caricature on the human specie* is too I low down, too contemptible, too utterly disreputable to deserve the notice given un ordinary grub worm. Now, you sneaking, sniveling idiot, you know only an atom of our opinion, and we mean it, every word, and a billion times more. AVe are al ways to found at our office. Give us a call. “A Word to tho Wise is Sufficient.” Catarrh is not simply an inconvenience, unpleasant to the sufferer and disgusting to others—it is an advanced outjiost of ap proaching disease of worse ty|x*.

HAMMOCKS FOR THE SICK A Physician Says There ia No Bed So Good in Cases of Illnese from 1 ,e .Ww York. Mod. “Put him in a hammock and relegate the bed to the uuiermoat recesses of the gar ret ' 9 strange advice to give, and as bold as it w as strange. The art of thepracti.* of mfdi i however, is nothing if cd progressive, an i tii“young sawbones who delivered him self of the above order instituted a reform in the sickroom which, it is believed, will so a become general in hospital* as w ell as in private practice. "Put him in a ham mock.” Only tho** who have sjieat three or four months in l*l or upon a water couch can form any idea of the re lief that comes from even ant; -ipating such a change. The "him” referred to by the doctor was a helpless paralytic. Months of confine m-nt in th- bed had made him almost a re k. “I recommend the hammock, said the ch tor. in explanation of his extra' r dinary advise, "not only because of it* un d'Mabh sanitary excellence, out L* tre-se'll all places of rest", of ail couches or beds. I think it the one that conforms best to the various curves and outlines of the human form. It has advantages that no other bed can give. Between it and the ordinary bed slept upon night after night, there is no comparison. For bedridden people I be lieve it invaluable. Consider. The ham mock require* only a stout blanket and a wrollen deeping dress. The sanitary differ ences; between it and the bed becomes start lingly apparent at once, even to you who, perba]. have never considered the sub ject before. It is so woven that it yields readily to every movement and projection of the body in every direction, except lengthwise, in which the weight of the body e-tablishes its own support. Then, again, a person unable to get in and out of bed un a*M*ted can roll in and out of a hammock w ithout help. The position in a hammock can be varied in many ways to give rest tliat cannot lie had in a bed. Swung about the same disthnee from the floor as a chaij they make excellent seats, and one can make his hammock a reclining chair, a seat or a bed at wilL Sitting down, the back can be drawn up to any desired height. Having no heat-generating mattresses to alisorb the l ull air or liaci odors of a room, the ham mock is a! ways cool, sweet ami ready for occupancy, and to my mind is a bed fit for a kin" Therefore, I" recommend it in this case.” t A CONVENIENT WOODEN LEG- It Served a Pickpocket a Good Turn Until the Trick was Discovered. From the Philadelphia Press. “How can I get that man arrested G’ asked a woman wearing a plain black suit and a black hat, over which was drawn a blue veil, of a Philadelphia gentleman as he hur ried by the lamp-post at the southeast cor ner of Eleventh and Marb.e street* last eve ning. As she'stxike she pointed te the re treating figure of a man who was limping down toward Tenth street. “AVhat has he clone I” "He picked my pocket not a second ago.” The gentleman lost not a moment, and an instant later he had grasped the man by the arm. The latter turned as he felt the touch on the arm. and ask<*l with a slight foreign accent: " What is the matter:" “This lady says you picked her pocket,” replied the citizen-policeman, ladv, who had meanwhile come up with the pair. ‘"Sir!” came the indignant exclamation. Then a moment of pause, and later a sneer ing smile, and the words, “You are at lib erty to search me, sir.” There was something in the smile that was not quite frank, and an investigation wa* made. The alleged thief held up hi* liands and facilitated the examination ot his pocket* with the utmost coolness.. As the gentleman reached the trousers pocket he noticed, in feeling for the lost wallet.that the man had a wooden leg. Immediately he was led—though by this time he showed fight—to the steps at the rearof the theatre. While the gentleman held him the woman examined the wooden leg. At the first tap it was found to be hollow. Out came a pocket-knife, and the straps which held on the leg were cut. A small door at the bot tom was opened and a diamond ring, a small watch with the monogram A. €. K., and the missing pocketbonk rolled out. “You watch him,” said the gentleman, and he went off for a policeman. He had not noticed that the excitement had caused the woman who sai near by to faint. He turned at the corner of Marble street to look back, and noticed that the thief had left the door open. Hurrying back, he found that the fellow had hopped out of sight. Tlie leg. which was left behind him, was ex amined when he hail restored the tainting woman, and it was found to he 27 inches long, made of maple wood, securely braced at intervals with steel bands. At the top was a slit largo enough to admit of any small package. It was lined with chamois and padded with cotton. The pickpocket was dressed in a tall black silk hat, a blue frock coat and light pantaloons. He wore patent-leather shoes, as the one left on the wooden leg showed. Thought She Had Swallowed Her Teeth. From the Amerieus i(fa.) Republican, We have lieen told tho following on a charming young lady, living just aeioss the line in another county. She is very pretty, has many admirers, and but few know that she wears false teeth. She has not been using them but a few weeks, and as they hurt her gums, she took them out of her mouth one night last week on retiring to bed. In her slumbers she had a terrible dream and arose in a fright, and gave a big gulp, swallowing something. Immediately the idea occurred that she had swallowed her teeth, and the family was awakened by her screams. A doctor was sent for, and about 3 o’clock he made his way into the room. The girl could feel the article in her stomach, and if relief could not bo obtained sixin, she must die. Her agony was intense. The doctor gave a heavy emetic, and tho girl wa* fearfully sick, but no teeth came up. About daylight the girl’s mother stood weeping by the bedside of her darling, whom she thought would sixou be with the angels, when she turned to the table, saw what she took to be the teeth in among the false bangs, ear rings, etc., on the table and tricking them up says: “Why, laws a me, here’s the the teeth! yer alnt swallowed them a bit.” And the girl then wknttxU to die of vexation. The doctor was sworn not to give it away, but a brother who was roused from his sleep got mad because, tlie girl wouldn't die, and told on her to get even for losing so much good sleep. Nothing Asthetic About This. Fiom the MUledgeville <(Ja.) Union anrl fie corder. ; Our young folks when they meet together to have an evening'* fun should always, when it is possible to do so, jotri fun and usefulness in their entertainment*. All of the girl* know what a trial candy pulling is, and how foolish most of the plays lire that come off. Now, we suggest a tuliny and useful sport. If will suit Our country cousins better than town folks, but even In the city there is plenty of material to be had. It, is a (*a hulling. Gather the peas on sheets, spread on tho floor, choose sides, divide the pilp, and pitch in. While this fun is going on the old folks could be fixing up refreshments, and when the frolic was over, what a nice time the boys <x>uld have tying up the girls’ sore fingers in greasy rags, or, where it was permissible, giving an application of lip salve. It strikes us it would lx- ever so nice. Suppose you try it. He Wants an Ink Roller. From the Fort Gaines ((?.) Star.
