Daniel Edwards and Miss Mary Hudson,
who were so suddenly separated last
Wednesday eveniug after their marriage,
mention of which was made in yesterday’s

showed us a curious old relic. It is a porte
monnaie or purse and was given by his
grandfather, Capt. McKenzie, to his wife.
CapL McKenzie w as an officea in the British

The relic is in excellent preservation. It is
of brown morocco with two divisions, and
on one side it has a circular glass let in.
Underneath are the letters L. M. and two
red hearts with on arrow stuck through.
In another line Mr. Robert is descended

Tho ne Scoos voted almost
solidly for the low license ticket, while the

Camming Clarion: Meager particulars
have reached us of a shocking occurrence
at Gilmer’s ferry, three miles this side of
Ball Ground, last Sunday morning. George
Faulkner and George Brittain hired a double
team and one single team, and in company
with Miss Nora Sullivan and a Miss Curtis
were taking a ride. They reached the
Etowah river at the point named, and,
although they saw the flit moored ou the
other side, they forced their horses in and
undertook to ford the stream. It was ten
feet deep where they went in, and of course
the horses went under and were all
drojvned. Faulkner succeeded in getting
Miss Sullivan out and Brittain started with
Miss Curtis, but she sank him and he let
her g i and saved himself. Miss Curtis,
whose home is in Fannin county, was
drowned, her body lodging against a rock
some distance down the stream. One
strange feature istfkhut the man who owned
the teams followed them to the river, giv
ing as an excuse that he suspected that all
was not right. The hats of the four were
found down the stream and with them a
bottle half filled with whisky. The men
have been arrested upon a charge of crimi
nal negligence.

Quincy Herald: Last Monday morning
Mrs. Hruby. ona of tae employes in the Owl
| cigar factory, killed herself with a pistol
on the Alsace plantation, near town. She
I had several times threatened to kill herself,
but nothing was thought of it. She fired
tbe pistol twice to see that it was in order,
and then, placing the muzzle in her mouth,
fired tbe third shot, killing herself instantly.
She had been married but a few months,
and family trouble is said to have been the
cause of the rash act.
About a year ago Mrs. Charles Saunders
was taken from Titusville to Jacksonville

tbe telegraph office and inquired for a dis
patch. He was then in town, but the mes
senger boy said that he could not find him
(Saunders). Saunders’ wife was dead and
buried when the dispatch reached him. He
now brings suit for $1,995 damages, and tbe
case was on trial last month. This is said
to he a test case, and if decided azaiust the

At Anderson last AVednesday night a
gentleraau passing down Whitner street
noticed a negro man in the jewelry store of
J. A. Daniels. He gave the alarm to the
police, but before they could capture the
thief he, hearing the policeman’s whistle,
escaped through the back door by which he
entered. Nothing of any special value was
missed from the store. The store was
lighted by electric lights, and any one could
easily bo seen from th street, which shows
that this was a particularly bold thief.
The Bamberg Carriage and Wagon Manu
facturing Company has lest from 100,000 to

carriages and wagons, but have been
forced to suspend operations until the
weather clears off. Their first kiln of about
200,000 was burnt last week, and it is now
proven tbat excellent hard brick can be
made from the olay which is so plentiful in

The change swindler has appeared in
Spartanburg. His plan is to buy something

change, 45 oentt. on the oountor. The pur
chaser tbeu produces a nickel and asks the
merchant to give him back his 50 cents.
The merchant, to accommodate him, hands
it back. Ho then places the 50 cents dowu
with the change on the counter, and tells
the merchant ho would rather have $1 than
the change, and sometimes he finds a victim.
A year or two ago a sharper victimized
some of the merchants and made as muoh
as 95 on them.

Orangeburg correspondence News and
Courier: A few days ago a little son of
W. P. Porter of Deau Ssvamp discovered a
very 6trange-looking bird near his home,
and, getting his gun, he succeeded by a
well-directed shot in breaking its wing and
bringing it to the ground. The little fellow
at once proceeded to secure his prize, but
when aoout to overtake it it suddenly
turned upon him and compelled him to seek
safety in flight; but the bird outran him,
aud just before being overtaken he turned
upon it and with a blow from the butt
of his gun laid bis pursuer low.
The following are the dimensions of this
curious bird: From tip to tip of wings six
feet, hight 5W feet. Its head is very
peculiar, resembling both that of the buz
zard and the eagle and having a topknot.
Its neck is but fouriuches long and in color
it Is snow white, exeopt the ends of the
wings, which are black. From the knee to
the end of the toe it measures 13-£ inches,
its beak measured nine inches and its talons
luebes. It has large, bright eyes, like
those of the eagle, and has blue speckled
legs. Persons of that section are very
anxious to know what is the technical namo
of this curious bird.

From the Philadelphia Pret.
London, Aug. 26. —It is stated in court
circles in Russia that the marriage betweea
the czarowitz and the Princess Marie, the
youngest daughter of the King of Greece, is
now looked upon as a settled thing. The
betrothal will take place in September, and
the date of tbe wedding will be fixed at
about a year from tbe present time. Curi
ously enough, tbe Rusiiau embassy here
offects to know nothing of the matter, and
one of the attaches informed me, in the
strictest confidence, of course, that it was a
mere diplomatic canard. But the ways of
Russian embassies were always mysterious,
and the word “truth,' 1 in the Muscovite
mind, is usually conspicuous by its absence.
This projected alliance, therefore, must be
treated far what it is worth.
The Duchess of Westminister, wife of one
of the richest nobles in the world, was the
chief bowler in a game of cricket played at
her country place in Cheshire. Both elevens
were composed of women, ladies who formed
part of the house party at Eaton hall, and
some haif-dozen of the young wives and
sturdy daughters of neighboring county
maguates. The elevens were completed by
the maids of tho ladies, specially traiued by
tbeir mistresses to take part in the game.
Indeed, tho qualifications of a fashionable
woman’s maid include many accomplish
ments little dreamed of when our mothers
were girls. Your end-of-the-century
"young person,” who desires to wait on. a
thorough going English woman of rank,
must ba able to fence, box, play cricket,
tennis, poker, ecarte, saddle a horse, smoke,
shoot, and many other things in addition to
tne regulation hair dressing and dressmak
ing, so that she can at any time be a com*
panion for her mistress whenever that bored
personage requires to be renovated by her
maid’s asslstanee in her pleasures.
ROYALTY AND PHOTOGRAPHY.
Apropos of the talk about the annoyance
that royalists are subjected to by photogra
phers, it 19 amusing to hear that tho Em
press of Germany, while staying with her
children by tbe seaside in England, made
frequent use of the snap camera. On one
occasion, when a society reporter was trying
to take her majesty’s likeness, be was sud
denly surprised to find that the empress
was leveling her own private camera at
him. Her majesty laughed heartily at
being detected. By the way. the empress,
although very robust looking, is not ns
strong as she appears to be. The birth of
the last baby seriously affected her consti
tution.

merely a proficient in amateur photography,
but the practice of the art, like the will-o’-
the-wisp, leads her to places picturesque
enough in themselves, and where the “life”
subjects are not so humbly loyal as trees
and brooks. The other day, for instance,
her highness shipped across the Bclont
from the Isle of Wight in her
yacht, and visited Porchester castle,
which is to the jaded toilers of
Portsmouth a rws in urbe, the castle
being one of the projecting points
of the harbor. Just as the princess pointed
her detective camera in the direction of a
group of pleasure seekers in the enjoyment
of bread and butter, a rustic lass deliber
ately stood in front of the oamera, exclaim
ing;' “Aht you think you are going to fut
tygraph mo and mother, but you won’t.”
The joko was not lost upon the priucess,
who laughed immoderately, and when tho
beinousness of the offense was pointed out
to the urchin she was as crestfallen os the
princees was amused. After this the pho-
tographing went on unmimpeded.
Tbe authorities of Namur, Belgium, have
accorded permission to a company to estab
lish gambling saloons in the town on condi
tion that no women are allowed to play.
This is the third town in Belgium that has
permitted publio gambling. There is little
doubt that King Leopold Is very hard up,
and it is mooted here that his majesty, after
the example of the Prince of Monaco, is
scheming to replenish bis empty coffers, due
to his great losses in the maniacal Congo
scheme, by encouraging the establishment
of these gambling bolls in any of the towns
in his domain which will liolp him out of
his muddles by raudering to his wishes. The
local consent must always accompany the
royal decree authorizing the establishment
of a gaming saloon, so it will readily be
seen how the court wire-pullers are slowly
but surely at their work at the demoraliza
tion of the country.
ELOPED PROM A CONVENT.
A morsel of scandal ha) been caused in
Rome through the mysterious flight from
one of the educational convents there of a
pupil—a beautiful girl 19 years of age—be
longing to a noble French family. The
fright of the good sisters may be imagined
when they discovered the girl’s absence, but
it reached almost to despair wheu they
found out tbat she had gone not alone, but
with a young man of low birth, a pure
bred Roman, handsome but honest.
Every means were taken to flml the fugi
tives, and after a long search the erring
lamb was found iu the arms of the good
shepherd! The young lady was taken away
and given back to hor family, but things
had arrived at such a point that, notwith
standing the difference of social position,
the bonds of holy matrimony wore necessary,
so accordingly the (at presont) happy couple
were married in the most private manner to
make affairs quite en regie. The youog
man may think himself lucky for a pretty
girl with a large fortune to have run off
with him literally, and to have actually
married him. But, Oh! the poor girl!
American ladles, who had the pleasure of

as this punishment has had no effect upon
him it Is necessary that steps should be
taken whereby he will be prevented from
continuing bis insane behavior.

The training of childreu is being discussed
iu a dailv journal in London, aud several
ladies of the highest rank are airing their
opinions on the subject. Frincess Beatrice
of Battenberg is quoted as writing in a let
ter to the wife of a bishop that “no subse
quent training will ever eradicate the bias
given to a child’s character during nursery
days. If a child has no mauners when it
is 6, it wiil have none but the slightest

babies to be' miniature tyrauts, you need
never expect them to be anything but full
grown tyrants when they come home from
school; finally, to rule the house aud make
your life a burden.”
As her royal highness is now engaged in
raising children of her own, with remark

A NOVEL DUEL ON A BAB.
Six Bottles and S9O Wagered on the
Result.
FTom the New York Sun.
A number of flies had settled on one end of
the bar at a well-known up-town resort the
other afternoon, attracted by a few drops
of sweet drink that had been spilled. A
group of customers of the place stood near,
but the tippling flies were objects of no in
terest to them intii one of the group dis
covered a reddish-brown ant moving ia n
very business-like manner toward the flies,'
The presence of an ant of that kind in such
a place was something so unheard of that
every person in tbe house became interested
ia It "at ouce. The ant hurried along until
it wos within three or four inches of the
flies, and then stopped and seemed to be
making a reconnoisance. Presently it ad
vanced in a coitions, siding manner to
ward the flies again.
The flies ware apparently so much en
caged 14 absorbing the strange delicacy
they had come upon that they did not no
tice the approach of tho ant, aud even if
they had there was nothing in tbe manner
of the insect to strike them with alarm.
The ant sidled along until it was close to
tho unsuspecting flies, when it tirade a sud
den dash and sntzed a fly by one of its
wiugs. This created a panic among tbe
flies, and the unlucky one was left strug
gling to escape from its captor. The fly
was more than twioe the size of the ant, and
if the latter bad seized the former by a leg
or .by tne body the fly would have bad no
difficulty in bearing tbe ant away, what
ever its ultimate might have been; but the
wily ant had undoubtedly calculn’ed on
that when it mado its attack on the fly, and
by grabbing It by the wing, made it im
possible for it to rise.
ln the struggle tbat followed the ant was
tumbled and rolled and pounded about by
the big fly, as a tear might tumble a wood
chuck which presumed to give it fight. But
the aut held on, and presently accomplished
what it had 6et out to- do, probably, from
the first. It cut a wing from ihofly,
close to the body, and thus put an end to
the insect’s power of flight. The attack of
the ant on toe fly excited the most Intense
interest in the group of spectators from the
start, and when the ant disabled the fly,
after the lively rough-and-tumble round, a
dozen bets were quickly made on the result,
the odds being iu favor of tbe ant.
The fly, unablo to take wing, tried to
escape by running, but the ant war. upon it
again in a second, and again they wrestled
about on the bar. By this time two or
three of the fly’s companions had recovered
themselves sufficiently to comprehend the
trouble it was in, and came back to aid it.
They-plumped dowu ou the wrestlor, and
managed to break its hold ou the fly before
any further perceptible injury had been
done, but the ant dashed boldly to the fight
again and grabbed one of the newcomers
by the leg. This fly roie from the bar,
taking the ant with it, but the ant nipped
the leg off, tumbled back on the bar again,
and without an instant’s delay started in
pursuit of the crippled fly. which wns being
helped along by its remaining comrades.
They might have succeeded in getting the
crippled fly to some place of rafety, but the
spectators who had bet on tho ant Interfered
at this point and chased the rescuing con
tingent away. Tho ant then pitched into
the one-winged fly. and after another live
ly wrestle cut tho remaining wng off. All
this time the other dins were m iking efforts
to get to their imperiled companion’-) assist
ance, and had to be kept out of the fight bv
the spectators. After sn.pping off the fly f s
second wing the ant boldly grasped the in
sect by the head, and, throwing it over his
shoulder as a lioness might a deer it had
captured, trotted off with its prey, climbed
down the end of the bar, and disappeared in
a hole behind it. Sixty dollars in’money
and six bottles of wino were lost and won
on the exciting ant and fly duel, which
lasted five minuter.
