A jutting stone in the Queen’s apartments, was lately dis¬ covered that sounded hollow. Upon raising it up, a baby was found, wraj i ped in a cloth of gold, marked “J. i Possibly this little skeleton baby may be the real J: mes; and so London is all agog with the alarming question: elf this is the rightful heir, who was that other baby who sat on the throne?” and “when this cloth of gold turned | np,wliywas‘.here AY el I,the in no I.< fuss ndon, made whose about luisi- it/ | man n ss it is to take charge of Holy rood gave orders to “make no fuss about it,” but to replace the baby in the cloth of gold, marked “J.” under the stone, and it probably lies there still.

A genuine earthquake occurred in Colorado Jan. loth. There W0IV thunderings, the shaking of buildings; masses of rocks were torn from mouii- tain sides; great gushes of water and gas were thrown out; the sulphurous fumes made people sick and caused birds to drop to the ground; people were greatly frightened,and animals in terror ran frantically back and forth, When the convulsions ceased,the wa- ters receded and there was the sound of the rushing of a great river.

AN ENTERPIUSING 1 a CITY. ]t is with surprise v and admiration that notice Jacksonville, ... we 0 j, eII the Sub-tropical exposition this se ason. Here is a city stricken by a dreadful scourge for four weary j monl h s; its factories shut down; its; storea c l ose d; its homes deserted; many of its best and most active citi-1 zens removed by death; its business entirely paralyzed; yet no sooner do the inhabitants return to their homes, open their stores, shops, factories and get business running in its accus¬ tomed channels,than they give notice of opening their Sub-tropical expo- Slt '° n » an enterprise of sufficient mag- ,l *tude to occupy months of prepara- Hon, even under normal conditions, 1 Itese 1* lorida exhibits are very at- tractive; many of the tropical fruits, flowers and plants have never been j seen by people north of that state, and they are worth a journey of many miles to see. Tun News suggests, it would be a good idea for the peo* pie of Toccoa and country around,to make a trip to Florida, taKe in the Sub-tropical, St. Augustine, Palatka ! and other cities, as well as orange groves, and have a -‘grand, good time.” A QUEER CASE. Once upon a time there was a lit¬ tle girl and her name was Emma Ab¬ bott. She was poor and had only a .ew friends. But Emma was pretty mil had a voice more musical than iii\ song-bird. She grew up to be a handsome woman, a fine singer, hail mai y friends all over the world;great nien am 1 women, nobles,princes,kings and queens all admired the lovely Emma, and delighted to hear her sing. She became very rich and wiili- al mairied somebody, but no one k n ms who, because she is called Em* in i Abbott still. This little lady understands how to g *t free advertising better than any¬ body; even the great Barnum can’t hold a candle to her. Sometime ago Emma was traveling in the state of Tennessee; she went to church; the minister, the eloquent Dr. Candler, said something she did not like, so she arose, “spoke right out in meetin,’ ” and told the Doctor he was mistaken; her feelings were hurt, wounded, pained, she was grieved in her Jeep heart. Then the pei pie all had great sympathy for Em¬ ma. When they went home they could talk of nothing else; that holy Sabbath e\ ening, instead of convers »ng about the sufferings of a dying Savior, they talked only of the pangs *4 the injured singer. The news spread over the city, over the state, over the whole country. Columns filled the newspapers; ministers of the gospel discussed the affair; even the greatest preachers in New YTirk, in London,—and so the opera singer had the biggest kind of free “ads;” immense crowds .filled her theaters, and sheckles flowed into her pockets, Months passed away and the sweet singer returns with her troupe to Tennessee. Her husband had died; the great Talmago, of Brooklyn had Tll1rtt« itten her r m.ke!7. a letter of con lolen *e P forward . , . kind . . . , is sent as a or tier announcement of her coming. Sc the dead husband and the live Tal- mage united, become a kind of the Baptist as it were, preceding the advent of the sweet singer. Arriving in Memphis, her tenor singer sang an anthem in church; the minister thank¬ ed hi n in presence of the congrega¬ tion. The next day the pajiers praised the minister and said he is not a“Pur- blind Bigot.” The other ministers The Toccoa News. i TOCCOA, GA., SATURDAY, FEBUARY 1889. *ook this as a drive against them, a- nuch as to say, “they are Purblind Bigots.” Then there was coinino- lion, papers interviewed the tera, ugly things were said J more free advertising; again people flock to her theaters, and her pockets are filled witl ' Iiani casl ‘* But the cute lady feeems f? riev ed, and while laugh in « ir ‘ her sI e0ve (pocket) great tear d ^ S,a ’ , 1 ° ''"V," , , 8, S ht of the weeping Emma; ,,(>rs are stage tears, but those rolling the cheeks of the Constitution are genuine tears of sympathet- ic grief over the singer’s wrongs.

The railroad commission proposes a law to prevent cut rates and thus wind up the business of the ‘scalpers.’ ’1 he Florida Southern railroad, op- eroing from Palatka to Punta Gorda, has consolidated with the Jackson¬ ville, Tampa & Key West system. The system now embraces 800 miles. II. M. Flagler, proprietor of the Ponce de Leon hotel, is president of the Jacksonville, St. Augustine & Halifax railroad. The Union Pacific has put on sale at the stations in Kansas, round trip tickets to the principal cities in Geor¬ gia and all points in Florida. The Georgia road is bringing out new passenger coaches. The Pulman Sleeping Car Co., has absorbed all other sleeping compa¬ nies, including the Mann Boudoir, whose cars will probably soon disap¬ pear from the roads. Large numbers of colored people pass over the roads from the Caroli- nas to Louisiana and Mississippi. CONGRESSIONAL. The tariff bill has passed the Sen- ate.

The sec¬ ond year he*plants it in sugar cane. The sugar cane is much larger than our sorghum and the juice is much sweeter. Instead of planting the seed like sorghum, he simply plant a joint of catie, and it soon comes up and begins to develop. I have seen canes that were fully developed eight feet long and frequently containing half a gallon of juice to the cane. They grind the cane in a mill and boil the juice in a large kettle, hold¬ ing from 40 to 00 gallons, 10 barrels per acre is the average yield syrup, and it is sold this year at 25 cen:s per gallon. They also raise the long staple cotton here which sells at 5 cents per pound in the seed and 20 to 22 cents per pound after it is ginned. The white people in the rural districts are typical Georgia crackers. They come to town in a two wheeled cart drawn by the “lean and starved ana- omy” of a wi.e grass steer, or if per¬ chance lie happens to be of the better sort, the pater familias, bestride an ancient mule and draws his numerous progenev and his load of products in the cart behind him.

REVOLUTION IN bTEKL MAKING. Our correspondence from Spring field, Ohio, foreshadows an industrial revolution of vast importance to the South. Bessemer steel lias been made heretofore in immense estabi s uneiits but by a new process ten thousand dollars woitli of machinery will con¬ vert one hundred tons of pig into steel in a day. It’ the new process does all that is claimed for it, teel making will be transferred to the fur¬ naces and will follow them wherever they can most profitably be operated -tfiat means to the South. It con¬ ceded that no country on earth offers for the manufacture of iron such ad¬ vantages as the Piedmont region. With converters, within the limits of a few days’ profits, the steel industry must come South, and come speedily. This revolution does not depend on the new invention alone. The basic process, which can be employed with no greater outlay, and is adapted to Southern ores, is controlled by the Bessemer company, whj have smotb- ered it in order to delay as long a? possible the inevitable transfer of steel making to the South. Tueir patent expires in four years, and the circumstances will notT^iduiit of a re— newal. The}* have retired the pro- cess, and the basic steel used in this country lias to be imported from Ger many. Four years hence the basic process will begin its revolution in the South, In the meantime, the Bookwaltcr process will begin the revolution where the ores are as low gptovkcn ..* comes, we will make anything in the category of steel, from rails to ra- zors;—Constitution.

I got my idea in packing in brine j from what I saw thirty years ago in country store, where they kept a large tub full of brine, into which they dumped rolls and pails of but- er bought from farmers. The butter was then allowed to stand until it was packed in firkins. To those who have had little experience in making granular butter. I would say, get a barrel churn or box churn, for it is a difficult matter to make perfect gran¬ ules in a dash churn or a churn with paddles in it. When the butter is found to lie in granules about the size of wheat, stop churning, draw olf the buttermilk, then cover the butter with cold water, move the churn back and forth a few times- draw off the water and repeat until the water runs clear ;rom the churn j it is now ready for putting into the brine.
