A demented nrgress of Burke county has not
slept for fl teen days. Bleep is caus-d by
fatigue of theueivous system and the amount
of seep required varies according to age, sex
aod naoit. It is a physiological and undis
puted fact that women require more sleep than
men but muoh, of course, depends on habit.
Sleep is absolutely necessary to the
maintenance of life aud the functions of
life are supposed to cease wl.eu it is not
indulged within a period of, at the maximum,
ten or twelve days, of twenty-four hours each.
This is a phenomenal instance and one trial
wauls a parallel i > the whole history of medical
science. Tb ■ . hin sa formal,y t,a Ia cru i and
burner ml custom of depriving criminals of
sleep a- a mode of execution. The victims ex
pire, after a period scarcely ever exceeding seven
days, with the most excruciating and poignant
agonies. This insane woman is not only alive,
but from out die appearances is robust and
shows no evidences .flier long vigil.
Valdo ta Times; lor some time tha residents
on the nort side of town have had their morn-
ing dreams disturbed by the -ootid of tinkling
bells. An early riser discovered that the sound
oame from a nerd of goats that made daily ex
cursions to tnat portion of town. But the mys
tery was that the a mud, which at first was
taint aud tar away, each morning swelled in
volume. The bel seemed to grow upou the
goats as naturally as their horns, and more rap
idly. It war not uncommon for a g .at that .. as
be.Hess one morning to show up proudly
on the next with two of the
musical ornaments on his neck. it
was a mystery, that would still be unsolved, if
something near a bushel i t be Is bad not disap
peered fr m Thomas’ hardware store so grad
ually and so mysteriously tnat no one had
missed them. Au Innocent little pickaninny 8 or
9 years old had been loitering about the store
for a month or two, aud at every opportunity
had filched a bell, with wblch he and his com
rades had adorned the goats. They had enrs
for music and had organized a coat orchestra.
The policeman wants the little rascals ami the
bells.
Harnesvd’s Gazette Barnesvilln has added a
word to the vocabulary, somewhat aft r the
style of snollygoster. which has been so well
discussed reoently from one side of till* country
to the other. The Hon. H. W. J. Ham,
the great story teller, has created many
a smile and has made much reputation
by this one word. Barnesville ias a
word that will do to go hand in hand
with it. It was probably coined by Crony
White, a well-known negro man of tills place.
The word is “hoggoggllng.” It. too, has its
political significance, and was made to fit some
particular characters in some of the hot eaui-
Kigns of local politics. Pike county and
rnesville have had campaigns as warm and
close as were ever known. It was during
these close contests that anew word was
wanted. When Crony White saw one of these
wishy-washy fellows in close oonver-ation with
the ‘‘other side" after “noses’ had been counted
he would report to his side that he had seen
some ‘‘hoggoggllng going on, and then new
work would be put on the “hoggoggler,” and If
possible get him back into the fold. The word
as coined by Crony White has beeu frequently
med, and many times it seems very appropri
ate. "Hoggoggllng" Is a word very familiar to
Barnesville, aud will do to take its place with
the "snollygoster.’ The “tnollygoster" may
be a very unique character, but the "hoggug
gling snollygoster" Is far more interesting.

TELFAIR "ACADEMY.
A Plan to Get a Great Pict
ure for It.
Tho Morning News Believes the posses
sion by the Telfair academy of one of the
great pictures that will be exhibited at the
Columbian fair would give pleasure to all
the friend* of the Academy. Why not raise
an amount sufficient to purchase one of
tbemt The Academy’s friends can easily do
it. If each one of them will give the under
taking his support the thing will be accom
plished.
The Academy has many friends, and they
are not confined to this city or state. They
are to be found in many states, for of the
thousands of visitors to the oity within the
last two or three years from all parts of the
country, mauy of them have passed pleas
ant hours viewing its treasures. From some
of these help may be expeotod.
Of course Savannah iaus will respond gen
hrously, and so will Georgians outside of
Savannah. The Aoademy is in fact a south
ern institution. It is the only Aoade
my of fine arts south of Washington.
The sources therefore from which assistance
may be hoped for are many.
Subscriptions will be received by the
Morning News and promptly acknowl
edged in the oolumn that will be devoted to
that purpose. Let every friend of the
Aoademy help in this undertaking and the
institution will nave atnoug its collection

HAD TO AMU3B TH3 CROWD.
A Murderer Who Did Not Hang
Dances On tho Gallows.
Fro m f\e New York rimes.
San Antonio, Tex., Feh, 11.—Alfonso
Elizondo, a Mexican, was to have been
hanged at Floresville, twenty miles south of
here, yesterday, for the murder of a
wealthy rancher, whom he robbed. A few
hours before the time set for the execu
tion a telegram was received by the sheriff
from Gov. H gg, commuting the condemned
man to inprisonmeut for life,
The scatroid had been erected and anew
suit of clothes purchased for Elizondo, who
looked upou the proposed proceedings as a
kind of a fiestu. The sheriff, the prisoner,
and the entire populace of the town and
surrounding country were sorely disa
pomted. S nnetniug had to bo done to
amuse tho curious throng which had
gatbured to witness the hanging, so, upon
he suggestion of some, the prisoner was
marched to the scaffold and the rope was
carefully adjusted. The sheriff took his
stand at tho trap door lever, and on the
• oiuand of the crowd Elizondo danced a
weird jig with the black cap drawn over
his face aud the rope around his neck.
He kept the crowd amused with his
dancing for an h ur, aud was then
marched back to bis cell.

514 000 were Reading alone, leaving only 175,000
for the entire remainder of the list. The figures
sufficiently Indicated where the interest lay, and
the general market presented few features
worthy of note. The general tendency was
still to bleak away from the Influence of serious
decline in Reading, New England and a few of
the industrials, which have occurred during the
week, and at one time a decided strong tone
was manifested bv some of the industrials and

which was bought to some extent
for foreign account. Tho liquidation in
Reading, however, was resumed in
full force this morning, and the volume of
business for tho first hour was entirely unpre

Coon Hollow, N. C. , Feb. 12.—Tbs
good people of this vicinity are greatly x*
ercised over the disappearance of Henry
Simpson (oolored) his wife and two sons,
who resided near the edge of Bullfrog pond,
four or five miles from Coon Hollow.
Unusually cold weather has prevailed ia
Eastern North Carolina the last month.
Bullfrog pond, wbiob is fed by subterranean
springs, covers an area of only an acre, and
has never beon known to be frozen over un
til this winter.
A week ago while the surface of every
lake and stream for miles around was con
gealed to a depth of twelve or fifteen
Inches, the waters of Bullfrog pond were
absolutely free from ice. During the after
noon of that day the largest flock of wild
geese ever seen lu this portion of the state
came from the north and alighted in tbe
pond.
By some freak of nature on that night,
for the first time in Us history, Bullfrog
pond was frozen over, and the next morn
ing the whole flock of geese were, to all ap
pearanoes, helpless prisoners, bound one to
another by an unyielding oake of ice several
inches In thickness.
When Henry Simpson discovered thu
state of afluirs he rushed among the
followed by hia wife and two sons, and be
gan, as they supposed, the work of extermi
nation.
But the negroes had made a woful mis
take. An old, gray-headed gander, the
patriarch of the nook, gave a loud squeak,
which was immediately answered by hil
lieutenants from every quarter of the
pond. Simultaneously more than S.OOO
wings began to flap. In an Instant the geesa
arose above the tree tops, carrying with
them a solid cake of ice and tbe Simpson
family.
From that hour to this not the slightest
tidings have been reoeived from tbe un*
fortunate negroes, and tbeir fate will
doubtless ever remain a mystery.
Simpson's taking away gathers peculiar
sadness from the fact that ho leaves behind
an aged grandmother, who is now entirely
dependent on the ohority of neighbors for
support.
Astodbnt of comparative polltlos points out
the fact that the government of the United
States is among tbe idlest of civilized govern
ments now existing In the world, since tuosi
European couutries have been to a considerable
degree revolutionized since the first election oi
George Washington to tbe presidency, 1““
Frencb republic, tbe present German emt ire.
and the Italian kingdom considered as poluwaj
entities, are but youngsters beside the century
old American republic.
