The great bulk of the jugware used in
the S.rnth is manufactured above Ath
ena, where clay especially adapted to
this purpose is found. It is taken from
the banks of Btrenms and all the work
done by hand. A man can manufacture
about 100 gallons a day, but a onc-leged
jug-maker iu Jackson county easily pul
up 200 gallons. The clay is first ground,
every lump carefujly weighed, when the
vessels are formed around a revolving
wheel turned by the foot. They are
then baked iu furnaces and g'azed with
gloss They sell for about four cents a
gallon at the works.
The story is told that some distance
down. I he Georgia railroad, not far from

and an Augusta lawyer was one of the
atlorneys employed. The lawyer, hav
ing all the facts i nd the law that he
desired in the case, made little or no
argument before the Justice, but to his
utter astonishment the case was decided
against him. After court was over the
lawyer went to the Justice privately and
asked him how in the name of common
sense he could decide that case as he
did. He simply replied: “ Well now,
sir, we Justices know a great deni more
about these cases than is ever brought
up before the court.

Double Consciousness.
The ilisappear-.nco of the Rov. John
Mnrsland, ..f Windham County, Connecti
cut, and his explanation when ho w as
found at Binghamton, N. Y., 400 miles
away from his residence, that all that
lind happened in tho interval was a blank
to him, brings up tho mooted question
whether there is or is not such a disease
ns douhlo oonsoiouBness. Many skeptics
aver thnt such a condition of mind is
impossible, but several physicians of
this city and Palis declare thnt tho diag
nosis of this mental disorder iB well de
fined.
Dr. William A. Hammond, of Now
York city, being asked his opinion on
the snhjoct said;
“No doubt that amnesia, or double
consciousness, exists in both a chronic
and acute form. It is something more
than nbscut mindedness or temporary
insanity. I linve classified it ns a mild
form of epilepsy. Mnny cases linvo onino
undor my notice. Among them was
thnt of n patient, in n largo morcnntilo
establishment, who left his office nt I t
o’clock to got a signature to a paper
from a gentleman wdinso piano of busi
ness was distant only a few minutes' walk.
He had not returned nt 3 o'clock, ntid, uh
was subsequently ascertained, visited the
office anil obtained tlio signature, and
left, apparently in good health, nt 11:30.
IIo did not appear nt his own nfiico fill
nearly G o'clock. - Tlio last thing lie recol
lected was passing St. raid’s elmroh, nt
tho corner of Broadway and Vcsoy street.
It was subsequently found ho had gone
to Brooklyn, visited a newspaper office
there, and purchased a newspaper, lie
then returned to New York, got into an
omnibus at Fulton ferry, left it at tho
corner of Twenty-third street, entered
tho Fifth Avenuo Hotel, aud while there
recovered recondition."
“An oven more interesting case oc
curred in the autumn of 1875. A patient,
who was a manufacturer, left his office
at 8 a. m. to buy somo bulbs. Ho re-
mniued away eight days, awl no trace
was ohtaiuod of him during that
timo. Subsequently it was ascertained
tiiat he had been to theaters, nml hotels,
where lie slept, nud stores where lie made
purchases, and thnt he made a journey of
100 miles from New York. Losing his
ticket ho was put olT at away station,
niul, returiiiug to New York, passed the
night nt a hotel, and oil tlio eighth day,
nt about 10 o'clook, made his nnpenranoo
at liis office. Ho had no recollection of
wfint occurred, though ho acted coher
ently aud had drank nothing intoxicating
except a glass of nlo, which lie had w itli
somo oysters in a restaurant on Hixtli
avenue.”
Dr. Hammond’s daughter has com
pleted a novel entitled “Mr. Perkin's
Daughter,” which has been accepted by
G. I’. Putnam’s Hons. Tlio plot turns
upon tho idea of a douhlo consciousness.
The heroine, while in the “second state,"
engages herself to be married, and when
sho recovers her normal condition has
forgotten all about that. Tlio publishers
have induood Dr. Hammond to write a
prefaeo, which cerlilics tiiat this pheno
menon of double consciousness is recog
nized by the medical profession.—1 tin-
neapolis Tribune.
A Knotty Problem.
It was a severe retort; and yet a mer
ited reproof for a piece of unenlled-fiir
asperity and unkindness, if not of down
right indecency.
They were in the small cabin of a river
ferryboat. Two young ladies sat to
gether, one of whom hod just had an
ambrotypo likeness, or miniature, of
herself takeu, which sho was exhibiting
to her companion. Sho was an ordinary
appearing girl—she of tlio ambrotypo
—with one exception: sho had a very
largtf nose—an enormous nose for such a
face.
On the seat opposite sat a middle-aged,
fatherly-looking man, to whom an am-
brolype was something ngw. His garb
and general ajipearanco bespoke a man
of the rural district. As tlio owner of
the picture was about to put it away,
this man put out bis hand, and asked if
he might be permitted to look at “that
erepietur?”
The girl looked nt him indignantly.
“What is my picture to you ?” she re
torted, angrily. “Just you mind your
own business!”
For a moment tho man was as one
thunderatruck; then he seemed hurt,
and pained; and, finally his honest face
was stamped with disgust.
After a timo lie caught the gaze of the
damsel fixed upon him ns though half
ashamed of herself; but she would not
break tho silence. He, however, ven
tured:
“You’ll pardon me, miss; but I had a
particular reason for wanting to see tiiat
ere pictur o’ youm.”
“Weli,” Bnified the girl, with a de
termined effort to maintain her assumed
diguity, “what might that particular
reason have been ?”
“Wnl—it might a’ been a good many
tilings; but really I was cur’ous to see
how in tlie world the man 'at made the
pictur ever contrived to get that nose on
to so small a plate!”
At that moment the boat touched tho
lauding, and the countryman pio.ked up
his bundle, bow l politely at tho chok
ing, quivering d: .iael, aud moved ou.

JonN G. Whittier thinks that tlie

immigration,” lie writes, “is everywhere

ported, but thnt new ones should be
opened without delay. The matter does

When tlio new clootrio lights in tlie
Big Mountain colliery, near Hhonnndoali,
wuro first put in operation a fow ilnyH
ago, suvon dazed and dazzled mules,
whieli for live years had seen no brighter
luminary than lanterns, turned tail and
lied into tlio depths of tlie mine. The
workmen tell interesting stories about
the habits of colliery mules, tliuir tough
ness, their contentment, and their total
depravity. Bovorul months ago tlie
lower lovois in the largest colliery nt Ht,
Clair were Hooded, work wns stopped,
uud all tlio tnuli H were hoisted to the
surface. More than a dozen of them
had passed eleven continuous years in
the mine, and had apparently forgotten
tiiat tliuro was a world of grass aud sun-
sliino, for when they wore turned out t"
pasture they huddled together in evident
alarm, and for a whole day did nothing
but gaze on earth and sky. The prob
ability is, Hint tlioy were at first blinded
by tlio glare—a common experience with
their kindred under similar oireuin
stances. Just as they wore beginning
to onjoy their now life work was lesumi d
iu tho mines, and they went hack to
their old homo in tlio darkness.

several raw onions into a poultice place
enough of tho same into tlio patient's

An IJiignlluiil Translator.
In a review of Professor Blackio’s
translation of I-’uunl tlie SciturUuy lie-
view says:
••Will it bo believed that tho closing
words—
Dm Unix! rlirclMielio
lllcr ist i-MM-timn;
Dii, Kiili-Wuititll'U
Hu)lit mis lilnali—
Aro presented by him to tho English
reader thus;
n-iiuty Immortal
Tim rapt cpirlt units,
wticri! Ilia eternally
Kennile prevails.
Of course translation is baffled hero; hut
only total want of sympathy could ena
ble a scholar of Professor Blaekio's abil
ity to turn out such a carricature, evon
by way of incidental illustration. Bay-
aid Taylor's—
Tlio Indcflprlbable,
Here t Is done;
Tlio Woman-Soul leadeth ui
Upward and on!--
Is nt least in tlio right direction toward
tlio movement and spirit of the original.
And it is just tlio finer spirit and move
ment that, evon where he is in sympathy
with his author, Professor Blackie does
not always preserve. ”

“ I always fuel at homo with Miss
H ,” says tier admiring friend, “ be
cause she is so frank nnd simple in her
manner—so interested in what you say
to her.” Who has not met with individ
uals of this kind, whose faces would J>e a
passport to any society, and whose man
ners, tlio unstudied and spontaneous ex
pressions of their inner selves, mnke
them welcome wherever they go, and at
tract unbounded confidence toward them
in whatever tlioy undertake? Tlioy are
frank, because they have nothing to con
ceal ; affable, because their nature over
flows with lienevoloneo ; unflurried, be
cause they dread nothing; always at
homo, because they carry within them
selves that which can trust itself nny-
wliere and everywhere—purity of soul
with fullness of health. Buch aro our
best guarantees for feeliug at homo in
all society to which duty takes ns, and
in every occupation upon which it
obliges us to enter. They who live least
for themselves are also the least embar
rassed hi - uncertainties.
