THE NEWS. TOCCOA, GEORGIA. An invention which may revolutionize discharging firearms consists in firing the cartridge by electricity. Tt has been calculated that if the United States cruiser Texas should be constructed according to the present de¬ sign, she would be sixteen inch's further under water than the plans contemplate, thus rendering a great part of her armor a useless burden.

This proposition has been mooted for many years. Perhaps the improvement in terrestrial telescopes will yet solve this question. Great enterprises are crowding one upon another so rapidly in the South that, according to the Manufacturers' Itecord , no one can take a general view of the whole situation without being amazed at the magnitude of the revolu¬ tion that is in progress.

GRADY IS ** THE NOBLE YOUNG GEORGIAN PASSES OYER THE RIVER. The Last Sad Scenes Which Close a Brilliant , Grand and Noble Career. m ^ '5*^' Lr-, VP £ m. 's. HENRY W. GRADY, At 3:40 o'clock Monday morning, at his home in Atlanta, Ga., the spirit of Henry Woodfin Grady took its flight from earth. A nobler man, one controlled by more generous impulses, with heart more golden, never lived! But a few days since it seems that the young boy first caught the attention of the people. He grew in their esteem. He was true to their interests. He wits faithful to his friends. He had an ear for tides of woe. He had a heart for the poor. Such a man as Ilcnry Grady is seldom given to the world. In the hour of his triumph he the is stricken of down. his Returning ft victor to bosom people, lie sinks in death, while in his ears ring the plaudits of an admiring, loving and de¬ voted people. The sceues at the home during the last hours were mort pathetic. It was shortly after eleven o’clock that Dr. Everett flii- nounced that that Mr. Grady Was sinking rap¬ idly and the end was near. Then it Was that all the numbers of the family and relatives gathered about the sickbed’ hoping against hope, yet praying that the cup might be taken from them. Friends who house had, at the doctor's suggestion, left the a few hours before', were hastily summoned. Among those who came were: Captain E. 1*. Howell, Mr. W. A. Hemphill, Mr. 8. M. Inman, Mayor Glenn, Judge Newman, Major Kiser, Mr. Captain ,T. R. Wvlie, Mr. W. B. Lowe, W. L. Peel, Mr. T. I). Meador, Mr. Donald Bain and others. It was Mrs. Grady's wish that those who loved him be permitted remained; to take a last look Upon his face while life and one after another, those \vho had loved him with a love that was exceeded only by that of the nearest and dearest, stepped into the sick room which was so soon to be the cham¬ ber of death. Gradually his condition grew worse until death came. Late Sunday evening, when it became known that the end was only a question of a few hours at the most, the expres¬ sions of sorrow became universal among the groups gathered in public places as well as among those who had gone to the special meetings for prayer of the various churches. About the hotel corridors sor¬ row man’s was condition expressed by all known. to whom Men the who sick was had but heard his fame, and who were utter strangers to his wonderful personal¬ ity, mingled their regrets and admiration with the anxious words and love of those whose neighbor he had been, and whose band he had often grasped in friendship. Sorrow and solicitude reigned in all the city. As Mr. Grady grew worse inquiries after his condition grew more frequent. In a church vestibule a minister was seen to stand at the entrance, stopping each that came to ask of them the most recent news from the sick chamber. Neighbor inquired bed-time of neighbor, aud from early morn till Sunday night anxious tongues spoke anxious words of inquiry for him whose life their hearts were praying Thtre exchange was a constant inquiry at the tel¬ ephone all through the long, lonely watches of the night. As the replies grew more anxious, voices faltered in calling the numbers, and compelled when at last the night operators were to give the sad intelligence that there was no hope, sounds of weeping could be heard over the wires. This time one year ago he was busied ju getting up a grand dinner for the little ragged and tattered five hundred news¬ boys who sold Constitutions on the streets. During the night the little fellows stood on the street corners in the bleak night wind, and with Grady?" chattering teeth asked: “How's Mr. Among those who felt tnc deepest in¬ terest in his condition were the printers in the composing rooms of the Constitu¬ tion. From the newest sub. up to the gray and grizzled veterans who have been One with the paper since its first issue. man who set up the first thing from he ever wrote for the paper, a letter the Virginia Military institute, away back in 1808, and who has watched his career with surpassing admiration and interest, exclaimed when the last sad moment came: “We have lost our best friend! " And in saying this, he but echoed the sentiments of the army of employes who loved this man so well, not alone for his brilliant attainments and dazzling suc¬ cesses. but for his generous heart and the kindly interest he ever showed in their behalf aud welfare. » MIL GKADYS LIFE. Hon. Henry Woodfin Grady was born in Athens. Ga.. in 1851. During his boy¬ hood he enjoyed the best educational ad¬ vantages. but the four years of the civil war seriously interrupted his studies, visiting and much of his time was spent in the various points where his father. Col. Grady, was stationed with his regiment. When peace came it found the lad father¬ less, Colonel Grady having fallen in battle while leading his men in a dtsperate charge. Young Grady found that he had no time to lose in equipping himself for kis career. After graduating at the State university inia, he went to the university of Yir* where he took a post graduate course. He was, during nis term at each of these institutions, the youngest student in attendance, He studied lect diligently what suited his intel¬ best, and paid little attention to branches in which he felt no interest. History, belles-letters, Anglo Saxon at¬ tracted him, and his standing was very high in all of these. His pen transferred rapidity, ringing and his ready, magnet]^ and him style of speaking soon won for the name of the “silver-tongued orator.’’ In the literary societies of the two universities he carried off the highest honors as a sjicaker. While still a student he wrote a letter to the Atlanta Constitution. It was printed, ami the editor was so mtieh struck with the sparkle and dash of the com¬ hear munication from that he signified his desire to the writer again. When the first press excursion after the war was tendered a ride over the State road, the editor telegraphed his boyish correspond¬ ent, who had then returned to his home in Athens, that he wished to have him represent the Constitution on that trip, and write up the country and its resources along the line of the road. Mr. Grady accepted dreds the commission, and of the hun¬ of letters written on the occasion, his, over the signature of “King Hans,” were the most popular alid most widely copied. It is quite likely that this pleas¬ ant of experience caused this precocious boy seventeen to turn his thoughts seriously to journalism. At all events, he was, a year or two later, the editor and one of the owners of the Home Daily Commercial , a sprightly, newsy and enterprising jour¬ nal. Home, however, was at that time to small to support a daily run on such a scale, and in 1872 Mr. Grady purchased an interest in the Atlanta llerald. Here he found a field wide enough for him at that stage of his experience. The Herald was one of the most bril¬ liant newspapers ever printed in the South. The young editor from Home, w ho had established himself in Atlanta to compete with the older journalists who vere with conducting the Constitution , started out audacious pluck, and proved himself to be so fertile in resources and expedients that his esteemed contempo¬ rary recognized rival the fact that it had a strong day to fight. The Herald's Sun¬ editions and trade issues were the marvels of that day. After the sharpest competition with the Constitution in ever known between any two papers the South it disappeared from the field. By this tihie its editor’s abilities had made him many friends abroad as well as at home, and James Gordon Bennett at once made him the Southern correspond¬ ent of the New York Herald. On this great journal Mr. Grady did some of the best work of his life. In 1880 he purchased a fourth interest in the Constitution , taking the position of managing editor, which he held at the time of his death. Of his work in this position, Colonel Avery, in his History of Georgia, says: ‘•Mr. Grady’s flashing and inimitable sketches, editorials aha articles gives an unremitting sparkle to the paper, His sider contemporaries on the journal will con¬ it no derogation to their high claims to say that Mr. Grady is the genius of this * powerful paper. There is a vivid¬ ness, an audacity and a velvety splendor about his articles that are peculiar to him¬ self, that no other man has approximated.” Mr. Grady's interest in state politics was such as to attract toward him the at¬ tention of the republic. Ilis editorials in the- Constitution were quoted in every section; demands upon him for speeches came from Texas to Maine, and every word he wrote, and every word he spoke, but added to his roundihg faint. His speech at the New England dinner, two years ago, was a revelation. It aroused such an interest, and a friendly interest, too, in the north regarding the south,that its delivery has become epochal. Spoken with all proper boldness, and with sincer¬ ity welling up from the heart, it disarmed criticism and invited friendship. Fol¬ lowing this came Mr. Grady’s great Texas speech, one year ago, in which he spoke of the white and colored people of the south. While claiming Anglo Saxon su¬ periority as final and definite, he spoke also for the humane and Christian treat¬ ment of the colored people. During the same year he addressed the visiting legislators of South Carolina aud Georgia at the Augusta exposition. The last great days speech which he delivered—but a few ago in Boston— was the crowning event of his life. Such an occasion, such an audience, such an orator, seldom meet. The w’ords spoken there have not died away before the sad intelligence follows that the gifted is stricken unto death. THE ILLNESS. When he left Atlanta to go to Boston he was threatened with pneumonia—he went, in fact, under the protest of his physician. “To stay now,” he replied to liis physician's objection on the eve of starting, “is out of the question.” After the Thursday night speech in Boston he contracted a new cold from ex¬ posure. The visit to Plymouth Rock was unfortunate in this respect. Mr. Grady stood for some time in the raw atmos¬ phere with his head with uncovered. Friday night he was seized a chill, and for the first time seems to have realized that his health was in a critical condition. In New York he was treated by Dr. Goldthwaite. Before the party started homeward, Mr. Grady was assured that all danger of pneumonia was past, and that it would be entirely safe to return home at once. AN IMPORTANT RULING. A GEORGIA JUDGE DECLARES SUN-TIME THE STANDARD OF THE COURTS. The supreme court at Atlanta, Ga., on Monday, decided two important questions which arose in a case brought up from Cobb county, Ga. The jury on the case were night charged shortly before 12 Saturday by railroad time, and though they had an hour to deliberate by sun time, the Judge in verdict told them that unless they brought a before midnight, by railroad time, they would be placed in the hands ot ihe sheriff until the following Monday, and would be obliged to furnish refresh¬ ments at their own expense. The supreme court judge reversed the decision of the lower court, and decided that railroad time is not recognized by law as a stand¬ ard guide to the courts, and in the ad¬ ministration of the law or to the public, in the performance of duties under the law, sun time must be considered only. He also decided that the verdict of a jury can be received on Sunday when a case is concluded and the jury charged before midnight, and hold that it is compatible with law, morals and common sense to receive the verdict whenever it is reached. STORM IN CALIFORNIA, GREAT LOSS OF PROPERTY—MANY BRIDGES SWEPT AWAY. A pispatch of Tuesday from San Diego, Cal., says: The loss of property herea¬ bouts, caused by the recent storm,' will be between $100.(9X1 and $200,000. Six bridges on the California Southern rail¬ road were washed out near the Sciidad Canyon, and the road suffered heavily otherwise from the storm. Washouts also occurred in many places on the Pacific Beach road, 1,000 feet of the road bed at trains Hose canyon will having for been destroyed. No run a week. '> RN GROWTH. HI .

The paper mills of J. B. Sheffield & Son, the bindery of the Saugerties Blank Book company, and the envelope factory of j. Q.

The three concerns are operated by the same individuals, and the pay rolls contain the names of nearly one thousand persons, re¬ ceiving from $20,000 to $25,000 monthly. The permanent closing of the mills would cause great distress. There is scarcely a family in the village that is not, either directly or indirectly, interested in their maintenance.

Wednesday noon, when only the teller and book keeper were present in the Sla¬ ter National bank, at Powtucket, It. I., three men entered and while two of them engrossed the attention of the bank offi¬ cials at the wickets, the third jumped over the gate and grabbed a package con¬ taining $1,900 and another containing $1,400.

This old-fashioned and wholesome pre¬ serve, or sauce, is still made on some farms and its preparation is a part of the regular farm work in autumn. The first step in its preparation is to evaporate 01 boil down a quantity of sweet cider; hence it is often called “cider apple sauce.” If there is a large cauldron or set kettle, as there is on many farms, that may be used; otherwise, one 01 mere largo kettles are provided with proper support, so that a fire may be made under them. There will be much stirring to be done, and long wooden stirrers should be provided. A barrel ol cider is boiled down to eight gallons. While the cider is being boiled the ap¬ ples are prepared. Formerly this was done by “paring-bees,” at which the neighbors assisted. Now, there are nu¬ merous apple-parers, some of which not only pare, but core and quarter the ap¬ ples, and do the work very expeditious¬ ly. The apples should be sweet ones; of a kind that will cook tender. From two-and-a-half to three bushels are re¬ quired for each barrel of cider. The cider being first evaporared, the apples are added, and the whole boiled togeth¬ er until it becomes jelly-like. At this time there is danger of scorching, and it must be stirred continually. Some makers, when the sauce is done, add to it cinnamon and allspice, but the major¬ ity prefer it without the spices. While still hot, the sauce is transferred to kegs or other wooden vessels, or jars of stone¬ ware are used. When well made, the sauce keeps a long-time.— American Agri¬ culturist. RECIPES.
