At Atlanta, Friday, an old veteran of the

man applied to the veteran an epithet which
no man hears without feeling tlie tempera
ture of his blood rise, and the veteran
s l uck him. Although he is more than 80
years of age, he has the vigor of 40, and

himself up he felt as if ho had been struck
by light dug. A policeman was at hand
amt arrested the iusulter, and marched
him off. The arm which did the striking
has eighteen leaden bullots in it.

rushing through the sitting room, where,

Mrs. Anna James publishes the following
in tho Douglasvilio Star: “As it is being
circulated throughout the count}’ that, my
brother, J. G. Maxwell, deserted the con
federate army and joined the Federate aud
fougnt the south, (done to injure i.iin in his
race for dork of the superior court), I deem
it due him and all of us to make a state
meat of tho facts in the case: J. G. Max
well volunteered in the early part of the
war in Capt. Magouirk’sc unjiany, Thirtieth
Georgia regiment, a. and made a good mid
faithful soldier, lie was captured in the
bat.le ot Peac. tree creek, near Atlanta, on
July 20, 1804. He was carried to prison at
Cnicago, 111., and remained there nine
months. Tho prison was infested with
small pox, and he was not half fed while
there. The United States govern
ment gave the prisoners a chance to volun
teer and form a regiment, to fight tho In
dian*, and on March 2ft, 1805, my brotherd
volunteered aud went out of prison, just
thirteen days before the surrender He
served eighteen months on the northwestern
frontier, m which service he lost one of his
eyes. * Ho came homo and found myself
and my three younger brother* without any
means’of support. He went to work and
kept the family together, ami raised his
brother* to manh< od. In short, he was a
father to all of us. For this statement of
facte l refer von, or the one* that have eir
cmated this falsehood, to Cap’s. Bowen and
Magouirk, Lieut. Weddington, and any of
our neighbor*.”

met a young man who told* them that he
wanted to take care of tho n. Jlo said he

him tho money .and he would get their

every cunt ebo had, $4, and thou pointing
to a platform near by, the young man t ud
tbe two old peoplo t > w ait there for him.
They sat shivering upon tbe platform for
hours, waiting for the return ol’ the young
man, but tie came not, and finally it dawned
upon their simple min i* that they had
boon swindled. Just beforo dark they
went on into tlv* oi;> and rep rted the cate
to Patrolman Smith, who wo* on duty ut
the union depot. Mr. Smith carried the
couple to Mayor Cooper, who furunhed
them transportation to their om in Talla

Mrs. Moore pufled an nruige frou her

Lighthouse Whitewash.
The remarkable whiteness of the light
house*, beacons and keeper*’ dwellings is
thus explained: The mat rial used is simply
whitewash, and here is the United States
government formula for raiding a wuite
wash that when properly made (and applied
gives a white that does not easily wash or
rub off:
To ten parts of the best freshly slacked
lime add one part of the best hydraulic
cement. Mix well with salt water and
apply quite thin.
Sylvester’s process for excluding moisture
from external walls consists in using two
washes or solutions for covering the surface
of brick walls, one compoied of soap and
water and one of alum and water. The
proportions are three-quarteiw of a pound
of soap to one gallon of water and half a
pound of alum to four gallons of water.
Roth substances must be perfectly dissolved
in water before using. The wail* should
bo perfectly clean and drv and tho tem
perature of tho air should not be below
50* Fahrenheit when the compositions aro
applied. The first, or soap wash, should be
laid on when at boiling heat with a flat
brush, taking care not to form a froth on
tho brick work. This wash should rem in
twenty-four hour*, so as to become dry an 1
hard beforo the second, or alum wash, is
applied, which should bo done iu the same
manner as the first.
The tempet ament of this w ish when ap
plied may be 00* or 70°, and it should aiso
remain twenty-four hour* before a second
coat of the soap wash i put on, and these
coats are to be repeated alternately until
the v\ulls are made impervious to water.
The alum and soap thus combined form an
insoluble compound, filling the pores of the
masonry and entirely preventing the water
from penetrating the walls. Four coatings
w ill render bricks impenetrable.
