Griffin News: A gentleman of this city relates an anecdote of Christinas experience that illustrates a pbasj of negro character. During the couple of weeks at the close of last year his busine-s required the extra services of a negro boy not otherwise em ployed. Christmas came and the boy banded his employer a bundle, saying that it was a Christmas present. The gentleman took it and being busy laid it aside with out looking at it, but a few days later was rather taken aback by finding it was a pair of sc. socks. Hi forgot about the incident until New Year’s day, when he paid the boy off and discharged him; but he still lingered and Anally said, “Boss, I guv you a Christmas present, what you gwine to give me for New Year’s?” His boss took down the socks, again nicely rolled up, and handed them to him The boy unrolled them, looked at them a moment and cast a reproachful glance at the white man, but left without saying a word. Wrightsville Headlight: If “ignorance is bliss,” we iiave some of the happiest peo ple in Johnson county of any ot.ier county on earth. For instance: Some time ago Dr. J. W. Flanders, a prominent physician of our town, was summoned to see a patient several miles in the country. On arriving he found his patient to be a youug woman threatened with an attack of fever, on the discovery of which the learned M. D. filled several tap ules with quinine, ami leaving instructions with the nurse, an elderly lady, about the time to give the medicine, etc., he departed. A few days later he again visited his patient, now greatly improved—almost well, in fact Tarrying n few minutes he arose to leave, when the old lady thrust her hand into her dress pocket and fishing out the contents, walked up to the doctor mid said: “Sny, doctor, here’s yer little bottles; mighty cute little things they are, too.” The medicine man was completely paralyzed when he discovered the empty capsules, and was told their contents hud been gougixl out re spectively and given “straight.” The old lady was doubtless under tho impression they were in the bill of costs, and she had best “return the bottles.” Tho fact that anti-prohibition is on top at Atlanta was strikingly demonstrated in police court in that city Mi morning.

Much whisky was sold in the city Saturday, and Saturday nigh the police began to make arrests, aud by 10 o’clock the station house presented a uveiy bcoue. About twenty drunken men 1 whooped, cursed and yelled, and wantel to !ti t everything ana everybody. Nearly all the drunken men showed evi | n,-nee ui having been engaged in a fight, I and many of them had blackened eyes, bleeding nos *h, bruised beads and clothes saturated with blood. The cells were filled, the hallway was tilled, and several had to be carried up stairs and kept under guard in the Recorder's room. “I have never seen the like of this Is 1 fore,” said Station House Keeper Foute, “and I hope I never will again. ’ Forty-two eases of drunkenness and disorder were booked up to 12 o’clock Sat urday night, and eleven were added Sunday morning. A number of leading citizens, both Frohi’s and Antis, visited the station house Saturday night upon hearing of the large number of arrests, and several ani mated discussions ensued. The I’rohi’s laid it all to the return of whisky into the city, while the Antis claimed that the Antis had not yet had an opportunity of straight ening out matters. FLORIDA.

While loading a car with orange boxes Monday morning, at Rochelle, Charley Haile, express messenger between Gaines ville and Punta Gorda, met with a serious accident. In putting a heavy box in the car hi* foot slipped, throwing him down be tween the platform and the car, a distance of 4 feet. The box of oranges fell on top of his head and neck, inflicting deep and ugly looking cuts. An examination revealed that while his head is badly cut and bruised, some of the veins in his neck are completely severed. It is thought that proper care will bring him around all right m trie course of two or three weeks. Sixteen miles south of Palatka, by the St. Johns river, is located a small village cal In 1 Satsuma. Just south of and adjoining this village, on the east bank of the river, is an orange grove of 1,500 trees of different varieties of oranges, mandarins and tan gerines. The trees are literally loaded with fruit; the oranges hang in clusters like grapes, and the clusters are as large as-a water pail. Many of the limbs are bent over from the weight of the fruit so that the orarges lay on the ground. This grove belongs to Dr. J. D. Heniou, of Rochester, N. Y., and is unquestionably the finest grove in the State of its ago. A cow belonging to Col J. H. Weeks, of Mikesville, Columbia county, dropped a calf Monday, which exhibited a strange freak of nature. It had two heads and eight legs and feet. It was a very fine sized calf, very broad where the neck is joined to tho body, and from this broad neck depended two heads, each with two eyes, two ears, one mouth and nostrils; in fact, two complete heads hung the same as any cow’s head. The hind legs at the upper part of the thigh were single, but just above the knee they divided, forming two complete legs to each, of equal length, with lower hock joints and hocls. The front legs also divided above the knee joint, forming four front legs, making in all, as stated above, two beads and eight legs, No one knows whether it was alive or dead when dropped. When found the calf was dead and somewhat torn by buzzards. New York Clipper: Arrangements have been made whereby John Teemor, John Me- Kav and A1 Hamm agree to givo a series of sculling exhibitions in Florida during the first two months of the new year. The ar rangements have been made with the Florida Southern railway, along the line of which the exhibitions are to take place. They will leave for the land of flowers in aliout two weeks, going direct to Jacksonville, where they will bo taken in charge by one of the officials of the Florida Southern railway, who will conduct the trio to Punta Gorda, the terminus of tho road. Tho place mentioned is situated oil Charlotte Bay, at tlio mouth of Peace river and here are to take place two races in February, for which the company hang up a prize of SI,OOO, to be divided iu the usual proportion. Previous to these races the oarsmen will give exhi bitions in different parts of the State, and should the Punta Gorda affair prove as suc cessful as anticipated by tho projectors, sim ilar events will lie held at Lake Weir and Palatka. Other scullers may bo hereafter engaged for the Florida campaign. Of course, if Teenier should hear favorably from Buliear, that may operate to cause a disarrangement of present plans, but that is a very remote po-sibility. A. M. Lyon, former President ami owner of tho Jacisonvilie and St. Augustine rail road, arrived at St. Augustine Monday, reg istering at the Magnolia Hotel. The object of his visit is to obtain possession of his two children, Ollin and Bebi, now in the custody of their mother, Mrs. Capeila, Mr. Lyon’s divorced wife.

She is Said to Have I een a Native of Savannah. From the Few York World. It was about the year 1840 that a wealthy merchant of Savannah, On., Mr. Thomas Gibbes, came North with his family to spend the summer. The Astor House, built by Mr. ; William B. Astor, father of the present head of the family, in 1830, was at that time not only near the fashionable portion of the city, but was the house which attracted the custom of tho wealthy and fashionable people from other places when visiting New York. Mr. Gibbes and his family liecame guests at the hotel. Mr. Astor, who was a warm friend of Mr. Gihlies, invited the Southern merchant and his daughter Au gusta to pay a visit at his country place at Rhinebeck on the Hudson. Here nis son, Mr. John Jacob Astor, then a young man of 20, met the fnir Southern maiden and their acquaintance soon ripened into friend ship and then into love, l'heir engagement was announced the following winter and they were married about 1845. The only fruit of tho union, a son, Mr. William Waldorf Astor, ex-Mmister to Italy, was bom the following year. The young bride became nt once a great favorite in her husband’s family and was especially liked by her father-in-law, Mr. William B. Astor. A slen der brunette, she had the soft voice and cul tivated manners of the refined Southern women of her day. She had received a re markably thorough education and her gifts, added to her charm of manner and person, made her nt once a prominent figure in the comparatively small cirelo of New York society of that day, irrespective of her hus band's wealth and position. From the first she became interested in charitable work, and her name w'as inscribed high on the list of the donors to the charities of the time. As years went by and Mrs. Astor advanced in life her interest in charities only increased. One of her last acts was the bestowal of funds to erect the new Cancer Hospital, re cently opened. For some twenty-five years past Mrs. John Jacob Astor lias been tacitly recog nized as the leader of New York society. She never courted or sought the position, but it became hers naturally, as the feinl nine head of the then wealthiest and most influential family in New York society. Her sister-in-law, Mrs. William Astor, formerly Miss Sehermerhom, has been much more a participant in the livelier gay eties than Mrs. John Jacob Astor, but the latter’s name has been considered indis pensable to head the list of patronesses at all fashionable entertainments whether she was present or not. Her cards were all in scribed Mrs. Astor, to designate her posi tion as head of the family, and her name was thus placed on tho lists afore said. A place on her visiting list has also always been esteemed as an evidence of a person’s assured social position. Of late years she lias rarely beert present at any of the Delmonico balls, save now and then a Patriarchs’, and her favor ite style of entertainment has been large and fi irmal dinners, given every week at her residence at Fifth avenue and Thirty third street during the winter season, and at her beautiful villa, Beaulieu, at Newport, during the summer. An invitation to one of these dinners has always been esteemed as an honor, and Mrs. Astor liked to gather at her table men and women of cultivation and ability, and chose her guests more for these qualities than for their mere position or aptitude for society chit-chat. She was very tenacious of old customs, and has been one of the warmest supporters of the annual charity ball ever since it ceased to be a dis tinctively fashionable event. For many years she led the opening march at this ball with Mr. Arthur Leary or Mr. Edward Cooper. To the last, Mrs. Astor also main tained the custom of receiving on New Year’s day. The death of Mrs. Astor comes almost at the height of one of the gayest seasons New York society lias known in many years, and will have an immediate and marked effect upon it. It will withdraw from all gayety not only her immediate and large family connection, but also a large circle of more distant relatives and numerous warm friends to whom she iiad become endeared. The news of her death perceptibly marred the brilliancy of the ball given at Delmoni co’s last night by Mr. Edward Livingston to introduce bis ilaughter, and will have a still more marked effect on the Patriarchs’ ball of to-night. While it was known that Mrs. Astor was seriously ill, no fears of her death had been entertained, even by her relatives, and her death is a decided shock to society. Of course Mrs. William Astor’s ball, which had been announced to take iilaee on Jau. 9, in honor of her son, John Is cob Astor, Jr., who was recently grain ated at Harvard, will be abandoned, and several other entertainments projected by members of the Astor family and connec tions will not take place. The loss of so prominent and influential a family to society even for awhile, especially as Mrs. William Astor had begun to entertain this winter for the first time in three years, will be greatly felt Mrs. William Astor will now succeed to Mrs. John Jacob Astor’s position as the acknowledged leader of New York society. Mrs. William Astor was Miss Sehermerhom, the daughter of the late Abraham Sellermer horn. She is a handsome woman and is also noted for her gracious manners and her thoughtful charities. A younger woman than Mrs. John Jacob Astor, she is much more fond of gayety, and is a familiar figure at the opera an l at all fashionable en tertainments. She has been in poor health for some two years past, but has lately entirely recovered. Her eldest daughter, Mrs. James J. Van Alen, died about six years ago. Her remaining children are Min. Roosevelt Roosevelt, formerly Miss Helen Astor, Mrs. Colaman Drayton, formerly Miss Augusta Astor, Mrs. Orme Wilson, formerly Miss Carrie Astor. and Mr. John Jacob Astor, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. William Astor reside in the large red brick mansion at Fifth avenue and Thirty-fourth street. They huve also a large summer resideneo at Newport and a handsome place at Rhinebeck-on-the-Hudson, where they pass the spring and autumn months. A Saint *.mong Taxpayers. From the Forsyth ( Oa.) Advertiser. Dan Bell, a colored citizen near Boling broke, was double-taxed as a defaulter, the tax amounting to $1 83. Some friend of Dan’s paid the Collector this tax at Boling broke Friday. On Saturday Dan came to Forsyth, wont to Collector Watts and said the settlement was wrong; that he owned more property than ho amount for which he had been double-taxed, and he wanted to pay the tax on that. Dan then and there rendered in sufficient property to produce tax amounting to $4 79, which he cheer fully paid. We vote the blue ribbon to Dan 801 l as a taxpayer. Middle Georgia Fables. From the Covington Ja.) Mar. A writer in tho Butts County Argus evi dently thinks he has discovered a snuff mine, in an extensive rock bed, somewhere in that county. This reminds us that there used to tie a story about an old lady breaking her apron string while trying to carry Stone Mountain in her apron, mid spilling the mountain out in DeKnlbcounty. That same old lady must have gone to Butts county with an apron full of rocks and spilled them out about Cedar Rock and lost her snuff box at the same time. Verily this is a great country and a great people. But the snuff mine ought to bo “rubbed.” Working People are often too ill to labor, but they haven’t time to take medicine and lay off. Sim mons Liver Regulator can be taken without causing any loss of time, and the system will lie built up and invigorated by it. It has no equal as a preparatory medicine and can bo safely used when a doctor can not be called in. In all common diseases it will unassisted by any other medicine, ef fect a speedy cure.

Mrs. Abliy Euster, an old lady who came from London two weeks ago, had quite an adventure Monday evening with a thief at tho boarding bouse, No. 112 East Twenty seventh street, where she is stopping. Mrs. Euster is well-to-do, and she owns a good deal of jewelry.. The boarding house is kept by Mrs. Mosher, and Mrs. Euster occupies the front apartments on the second floor. She is nearly GO years of age, though still hearty and possessed of considor:4lo strength. She kept her jewelry and money in a plush box in the bureau drawer in hor room. Monday evening at about 0:30, while all the boarders were at supper in the base ment, a thief got into the house and made his way up to Mrs. Euster’s apartments. Ho got in through the basement door. The iron gate had been left open, and on Saturday night someone, evidently an ac complice, smashed the glass panels in the inner door and the thief was enabled to put his hand through and open the lock. He went quietly up stairs andfouudthe door of Mrs. Euster’s room open. Tho marauder searched tho bureau drawers and found the jewelry box and some money which he took out. Just then he heard Mrs. Euster’s footsteps on the stairs, and as she was coming through the hall ho slipped into a closet, and closed the door. Mrs. Euster found the bureau drawers open and everything upset. She missed her jewelry box, and concluding that sho bad been visited by a thief, went to the closet to see if her sealskin sacque was She could not turn tho knob of the door, but made a second attempt, when it opened easily, and she discovered the thief. Mrs. Euster did not scream and fall into hysterics, but she grabbed tho fellow by the wrist and twisted her arm around His back. Ho made some resistance, but she held on to him pluckily and dragged him out into the room. She nulled him over toward the bed and made him empty his pockets of the stolen jewelry. The thief did it reluctantly, but when be hesitated Mrs. Euster just twisted his arm a little more and he came to terms. In the meantime the plucky little woman had called for help, and Mrs. Mosher and a boarder named Mr. Reid went to her assist ance. They held the thief until Officer Ergatt arrived and took him into custody. At the East Twenty-second street police station he gave his name as Frederick Shel don, age 21, and residence at No. 246 First avenue. In his possession was found a gold collar button, which Mrs. Euster identified as hers. The empty jewelry box was found in the closet. Capt. Clinchy sent a report of the case to police headquarters. Mrs. Euster, when seen after her struggle with the thief, did not appear to be suffering aiiy from her successful effort to capture the marauder. She described the manner in which she discovered him, and how she held on to him and made him give up the stolen goods. MEDICAL.
