Cumming Clarion: A rye beard has been the cause of six months’ loss o work besides great suffering to Mr. li. C. Williams, our well known County Surveyor. A rye beard became lodged in bis mouth one day during wheat harvest, and remained until one day last week, a source of trouble, having, dur idg that time, worked its way f <>m Ins cheek to his neck, a distance of so. o s x inches. There is a little negro in Macon named Berry Bowden, aged about 12 years, who has a most remarkable mouth. When fully opened the distance from the corner of the mouth to the lobe of the ear is less than half an inch. He puts his fist in his mouth with ease and can hold two eggs in the mouth without any difficulty. In addition to the great capacity, he can turn Ids under lip wrong side outward, and this gives him an awful appearance. He seems to pride himself on the size of his mouth, and never tires of showing what he can do with it. Thursday he placed a toy rubber balloon in it and inflated the balloon to its fullest ex tent. At Atlanta, Friday, after a slight lull, the State taxes made a spurt, and poured into the treasury at a lively rate.

This he has always done on his large properties in Fulton, Bartow and Dade counties. Cartersville Courant : Col. Pryor 1,. My natt, a distinguished member of Atlanta bar, passed through Cartersville last Sun day on his way home from a visit to liis aged mother, who lives at Pine Dog, in this county. 'While in the city the Colonel told a startling and strange story to a few friends that we think would not be amiss to publish. He says that a few weeks ago Ills mother, who has been ill for some time at her home at Pine Log, was Bitting in front of her fire place when she startled her family with the announcement: “Poor Susan is dead; she’s gone to her rest.” She repeated this several times during the day. The lady she had reference to was a daughter living in Western Texas, thousands of miles away, •whom she lial not seen in years. In a week or ten days after this letters were received by Col. Mynatt in Atlanta and his mother at Pine Log to the effect [that “Susan,” the daughter and sister had departed this life very suddenly, the letters giving full accounts of her short and fatal illness—so short that there was no time to advise her Georgia relatives even of her serious illness. Macon Telegraph : In the telegram from Chicago, printed in the Telegraph of yesterday, was the state ment "that there is but one ease known to medical science where a man judicially hung ha* been resuscitated.” Capt. J. A. Simpson read the telegram, and says he knows of an instance, and that the old citizens of Macon will remember the man. He esrvs that in 1882 a negro was hanged in South Carolina for some trivial offense. In those days there was much more hanging than now. The body was tnken down alter hanging thirty minutes, and resus citated. This gave him his free dom. He ran away from the locality and after many years lauded in Macon, reach ing here in 1840. Ee apprenticed himself to Mr. M. E. Bylander, and then took the name of Jack Rylunder. He then became one of the best blacksmiths of tho county, and was so known for thirty yea s. He nl ways carried his head bent forward to one side, and presented a repulsive appearance. He often said he had wished thousands of times that the doctors who brought him back to life had not done so. At the time of his death he owned considerable land near the cemetery and on Madison street. An Interesting incident occurred at At lanta Friday in the Exocutive Office. Dur ing the morning Isabella Roonev, the female convict pardoned Thanksgiving day by the Governor, in company with Mrs. Harper, of the Woman’s Christian Temper ance Union, called upon Gov. Gordon for the purpose of thanking him for the great kindness done to her. Isabella was plainly but neatly clad, and wore a cracker sun bonnet. She is not an unattractive girl in appearance, but her face indicates a very low order of in utal power. When the women first arr.vod the Governor was busy, and they departed, but returned in a short while. During their absence some changes had Ixen made in Isabella's appearance, the cracker bonnet hail given way to a more becoming hat, and a few additions lent more charms to her appearance. Ushered into Gov. Gordon’s presence, she was received kindly, and in a simple, plain way thanked him for her pardon. It was evident that she hail boon taught what to say, but the words were doubt les- none the less sincere. Isabella is at present an inmate of a cliuritable in stitution in the city, and the good ladies in charge will see to it that she is well taken care of and curefully looked after until a permanent home is provided. Brunswick Advertiser: “Hold on, boys, I see a light on the piazza.” This was the announcement that rang out on the air last Wednesday night as Protection hose reel reached Union street on their return from the ftro. The boys halted promptly, for they knew what it meant and forthwith they turned to the left ana proceeded down Union until they came to the residence of Mrs. M. C. Rowe, and here they halted, for they knew from that lantern bung in tho piazza that there was within awaiting them gallons of hot, smoking coffee. There has not been a fire since the organization of the company thut this kind lady has not risen promptly, sick or well, at the sound of the lire alarm, and prepared coffee for them, and in many instances supplied tho entiro force. This self-imposed task she has faithfully kept, hoping thereby not only to show her appreciation of the noble fellows, but trusting thereby to keep them from taking other stimulants that might after a season dy them harm. Rhe is seconded in this move by many of our mer chants who esteem it a privilege to supply tli# tiectesfu j wgrediwite lor juakiut the coffee—a few pounds of coffee and the requi site sugar ana milk. Mrs. Rowe secures these before hand and keeps them in tight cans ready for the tapping of the bell. .She is held in high esteem by the tiro laddies, who know full well that whilst they are lighting the flames she is making the bever age for them.

The pre sumption is that the jug, which is perfect in every part, is an Indian relic; but the writer is inclined to think it is of European manu facture.

He walked on down tlie street and I followed, taking a good look at him: I am confident it was he; I know it to be him. Just about the end of the block he crossed the street to the side I was on, when he was within 25 or 30 feet of me. I might lie mistaken, but I am as confident that it was John Hollyfield as lam of my existence. I did not speak to him, because I did not care to further cultivate his acquaintance. He had a grip sack in nis hand, and wore a dark mixed suit. I was looking more particularly at his face; his whiskers appeared to be longer than I over saw them before. 1 spoke to my family of having seen him.

Fashionable Circles in Montreal Agi tated Over a Great Scandal. From the New York Sun. Montreal, Nov. 23.—Fashionable circles in Montreal are greatly agitated over a scandal that affects one of its leading mem bers. Prof. Prume has long been known as one of the most talented of Canadian musi cians, and He moves in the best Freneh- Canadian society here. He is also well known in Paris and other cities of the Conti nent, and is by special appointment violin ist to the King of Belgium. Ten years ago he was united in marriage to one of the reigning French-Canadian belles, a Miss Martelle, who also belongs to a well-known musical family. She was beautiful and ac complished. A musician herself of consider able promise, she desired to finish her educa tion. and to do so her husband desired to take her to Paris and have her instructed under the best masters. Prof. Prume and ins wife took up fashionable quarters in Paris, and soon became favorites in society. Tlie beauty of tho young wife, who was hardly over 20, attracted many admirers. Among these was one Count de Vechi, a man of leisure and weaith, who soon be came assiduous in his a tentions to her. For days lie followed her in the streets in Paris, thinking how to obtain an introduc tion. At length lie resolved upon a bold stroke, relying upon the young wife’s inno cence and trustfulness to assist him, On one of the boulevards of Paris ha saw her oue day, and, springing from his carriage, approached her. “Pardon, madame,” he said, “I know I am transgressing tho law of politeness in thus addressing you, but you so strikingly resemble a dead child of my own that my fatherly heart has gone out toward you. In great emotions the rules of the world must ho ignored. Let this be my excuse for such rudeness.” The young woman did not dispute for an instant that the benevolent-looking gentle man before her meant what he said. She pardoned him and prepared to pass on, but he persisted, and asked her if she would not promise to visit him at his house, saying that he was old and lonely, and a voice to recall that of the dead would be sweet to him. The young wife replied that she cer tainly could not continue such intimacy as this without her husband sharing in it. “Ah, madame, you must bring him with you. 1 insist upon knowing him,” was the answer. Husband and wife visited the Count, and were made so welcome that the visits were re peated. The nobleman made his influence felt in the outer world to assist the couple, who congratulated themselves upon having gained so powful a patron. One day as they were promenading the spacious halls of his chateau, he turned to them und said: “You see here groat wealth, luxury upon luxury In art and in literature. I have lackeys at my beck and call, and wheu you leave here you say to yourselves. ‘How hap py he is and how powerful,’ vet 1 am neith er happy nor powerful, for 1 am alone in this magnificence and not powerful enough to persuade any one for whom 1 care to live here with me.” Then turning to his guests with a smile, he added: “But you, my friends, will you not reside with mo and help me to that happiness that without you I cannot obtain?” The result was that Prof. Prume and his wife went to livo with the Count, who then continued his attentions to the young wife, and finally succeeded in liis object. When the fact that liis wife was unfaithful to him dawned upon Prof. Prume’s miud he at once decided to leave her and return to Canada. Mine. Prume remained in Paris with the Count. Efforts are being made to induce her to return to Canada, and her mother has gone on a special mission to France to bring back tlie erring one. Prof. Prume is at present in Montreal, and in tends to apply fer a divorce. Pon't if you're wise Credit plausible lies With ROZODUNT comparing some cheap arti cle.
