Tbeic is no class of persons who
have a more kindly feeling for a dumb
animal than the police patrol wagon

^fost Unique Battle of the War—
Fight With a Marine Monster—A
Thwarted Crime, Ktc.
T N the winter of 1862 -3 a part oi
I the Confederate army was in win-
J[ Dalton, ter quarters near the town of
* in the northern part of
r-i Georgia. „ rp. The c famous n Orphan k r Brigade : 1
of Kentucky, noted for its bravery
find daring in battle, was encamped
near „ a „ , brigade , of r m Tennessee troops, ,
The Kentuckians were commanded by
General , Joseph T , , IT. T T Hew;?, nowon the
bench of the Court of Appeals, and
Ballot Pat Clobonrne, who after-
ward fell fightmw bravely at Frank -
jj n 'p onn
The two brigades mingled constant-
j v , and the tedium of oimp 1 life was
relieved , by , many pranks , and ,
harmless gay
larks among ° the soldier
, boy*,
One day the troop 3 were treated to
a genuine snow storm — a sight very
rare in that part of the country, but
which recalled their far away homes
very vividly to the soldiers from the
Middle States. A party of Tennessee
soldiers had been paying a visit to
some of their Kentucky comrades, and
as they took their departure their late
hosts in a spirit of sport threw some
snowballs after them; they responded
promptly, and a lively contest ensued,
each party pelting the other with the
white missiles.
The Tennesseeans retreated it first,
but, being re-enforced, returned to the
attack. Some Georgians, who now
learned to make snowballs for the
first time, also joined their side. They
assailed tho Kentuckians .so fiercely
that the latter, outnumbered aud
blinded by the feathery balls, were
driven from their position and their
barracks and colors were seized by the
enemy.
At this juncture General Lewis
stepped out of his tent, and was also
greeted with a volley of snowballs and
a derisive cheer. Seeing how matters
stood he sprang upon his horse, or¬
dered out his officers aud men aud ad¬
vanced with his entire brigade to re¬
gain their lost honors.
The Tennesseeans aud Georgians
called on their comrades for aid, and*
both sides responded with the same
eagerness and promptness which
would have been displayed at the sud¬
den attack of a Federal army. In a
tew moments 8000 men and officers
were drawn up in battle array, their
arms full of snowballs, and amid
shouts of laughter and loud cheers the
the fight waged furiously.
The officers rode among the men
encouraging them and bravely expos¬
ing themselves to the shower of white
balls, which soon made the soldiers
look like snow men. Tf an officer was
kuocked off his lioree, a private im¬
mediately took his place aud rallied
his comrades.
The battle waxed fiercer and fiercer ;
each side made determined charges
and were repulsed again and again.
But slowly, inch by inch, the valiant
Kentuckians drove their opponents
back and recaptured their quarters
aud colors. They then formed iu a
compact body, xvith freshly gathered
ammunition and charged upon the
spot where General Clebourne was
seated ou his horse, gayly cheering
his men and giving instructions to his
aides. Time after time the Ken¬
tuckians dashed themselves against
the wall of Tenuesseeaus, but were
driven back before the rain of balls
and forced to retreat. The two bodies
of men swayed back and forth all the
afternoon without either side gaining
a victory. Night finally came and the
darkness ended the bloodless, but one
of the most unusual aud fiercest,
battles ever fought. : — Louisville

Fight With a Marine Jlonster.
The Italian settlement, at the foot
of Franklin street, Oakland, Cal., was
agitated tho other morning by tho
capture of a monster of the deep. An
ltaliau fisherman gave battle to the
queer fisb, and he says he will long
remember the encounter. The cap¬
ture was made near Goat Island in
the morning, It took several hours
to land the fish, aud during the con¬
test two boats were nearly wrecked.
The Italians call the monster a “rat
fish,” because it has somewhat the ap¬
pearance of a rat. The fish weighs
”45 pounds and measures eleven feet
from the tip of the no-e to tho end of
the tail. The tail itself, which was
used by the fish as a means of defense,
measured six feet in length, The
fishermen claim that this is the first
“rat fish” ever captured in the bay of
San Francisco.
the story of the battle was told by
Janies Iagoria. He employs the fish¬
ermen to c° out every mormng auj ,
fish for him. •- £niite is one old mail

lie was alone at tne tunc, and was
somewhat excited when the monster
came to the surface of the water and
made straight for his little boat, lash¬
ing his tail iu all directions. Tho
fisherman had to devote his efforts to
getting away from his catch. He
shouted for assistance, anlthi’ee com¬
panions, who were fishing in the vicin¬
ity, came to his rescue. After a long
struggle they succeeded iu drowning
the monster and towed him shore. A
fish that weighs 245 pounds and ij
even eleven feet long, with a tail al-
most like a rod of irou can do some
fighting when it gets mad. That is
what my fishermen found out when
,i ti ,
up the sea for a few days. He is a lit¬

“The Italians call it a ‘rat fish,' but
that is not the proper name. We have
been in the fish business for a great
many years, but we have never had
anything like this before. It is no 1
a shark. The tail is very peculiar and
has great strength when the monster
is alive. That is its weapou of defence.
The men who caught the fish tell me
that the monster can work terrible
havoc with its tail. They were thor¬
oughly alarmed during the battle with
the creature. Alter we have had it on
exhibition a few days we shall send
the head to the Oakland High School.
We gave this school the head of the
man-eating shark.”
A Thwarted Crime.
An Indian paper tells a curious tale.
A rich lady, with her two children,
both infants, was going, it is said, in
her own “ekka” from Kamnagar to n
place in the centre of the Bar tract.
The driver was a trustworthy servant
of the family, and it was for "this rea-
son that the lady had not divested
herself of the ornaments she usually
wore. Bnt the sight of the jewels was
too much for him, and at an excep¬
tionally lonely spot in that lonely
country he suddenly asked his mis¬
tress to hand him her valuables. On
her suspecting his real designs and
hesitating, the miscreant showed him¬
self in his real colors, and made her
and her little ones, who could hardly
toddle about, get down. The horrible
thought that was working in his brain,
'murder, that of hiding his crime*by means of
had given bis face a sardonic
look, which made the poor woman
tremble.
Then the fiend bound her, hand and
foot, and informed her that he would
first kill her children and then do her
to death. By her earnest entreaties
she prevailed over him to begin with
her first. He had an axe in his hand,
with which he aimed a blow at her,
but the head being loose, it flew away
and fell a few paces off, the handle
only remaining in liis grasp. Ho
stooped into the grass to look for it
and disappeared belliud a mound. She
waited her certain doom with all her
nerves on the strain. She gradually
fell into a swoon, and when she cams
round the first thing she saw was her
husband bending over her and her ba¬
bies crying and tugging at her
clothes.
After she had left, a nameless uneas¬
iness seized her husband. He could
not reason away his vague fears, try
as he would, and at last he mounted
his horse and followed the “ekka.” He
had proceeded but a few miles whan
the dreadful eight of his wife and chil¬
dren lying bound up with cords on
the ground met his eyes. And the
story that his wife told him congealed
his blood with horror. They both
then, drawn by an irrepressible curi¬
osity, went toward the direction that
the miscreant went to pick up his ax,
and think of their surprise when they
saw his corpse already lyiug blue,
putrid and bloated, the fiie3 buzzing
over it in clouds. Retribution had
come in the shape of a “karundia,” of
the deadly variety known as “khaki,”
rare eveu in those snake infested
parts, whose bite instantaneously par-
alizes the victim and decomposes the
body in an hour.
Just an Inch From Death.
We were sitting on the veranda of
Diir bungalow one evening in far-off
Burmab, It. A., and I, enjoying our
after dinner cheroot. The waters of
tho bay lapped lazily at the sand at
our feet, for onr house was “builded
on the sands” of the shore, All Fie
world seemed at peace, only the
“plunk! plunk!” of the monotonous
night bird in the jungle, an 1 the oc¬
casional note of tho jackal signalling-
in the distance to his comrades, was
heard. The moon had come up from
behind a rocky island just over in the
bay, and spread a flood of golden yel¬
low light over the silver topped break¬
ers, rolling iu over a neighboring
coral reef. It was so calm and beautiful
that it seemed that all that was wicked
aud baa had gone out of the world,'
and yet death lurked just at my
friend’s elbow, as he puffed uncon¬
sciously at his cheroot.
We had been discussing in a leisure¬
ly manner something that had hap¬
pened in America. To prove some
point my friend arose, and, stretch¬
ing himself lazily, sautered into Ins
bedroom to get a paper bearing on the
matter we had been discussing. Usu¬
ally lights were placed in all the bed¬
rooms, but this evening, for some un¬
accountable reason—probably the
moonlight—the servant had not per¬
formed his duties. I could hear my
friend fumbling about on his dressing
table an l then suddenly lie gave a
quick cry of horror and rushed out to
the light.
“I Have been struck by a snake,” lie
gasped, and his face was deadly pale.
“Where is it? Quick ! Show me !”
I exclaimed, as I whipped out a knife.
He held out his right arm. There
was no mark ou the hand, which i ex¬
amined critically, but on the cuff of
the shirt were two tiny scratch-like
punctures, and two little globules of
poison sinking into the starched linen
and leaving a sickly, greenish-yellow
mark.
“You’ve had a close call, old man,”
I exclaimed, with a great sigh of re-
lief, ’ “and I think you ' need a peg to

Captain Frank Wallace, of Small
Point, had a thrilling experience last
week during a thunder shower. He
was out iu a dory after ducks when
the storm came up, and suddenly
there came a flash of lightning that
seemed to surround his boa with its
flame, and then something like a ball
of fire danced along the crest of the
wave in his direction. There was a
dreadful roll of thunder that seemed
to break over his head, and then ha

discovered that his oars were gone an l
his rifle lay in the bottom of the boat
completely shattered. He also found
that he was bleeding freely but, re

with a piece of board, reaching there
after several hours of bar l work. Then
it took the doctor a long while to stop
the bleeding, but Captain Wallace has

BILL ARP’S LETTER.
THE 31 ARCH OF PROGRESS BE¬
WILDERS HIM.
He Talks of 3Iany Interesting Things,
Among Them Sliver and Gold.
I witnessed the street pageant of Buffalo
Bill’s ’’Wild West” show. I suppose there were
50,000 people who did the 6 ame thing. That
j much was free, and quite enough for me.
somehow I have 1 >st my appetite for circuses
and other >pectacular amusements. The time
was when I never missed one if I could help it;
but n< w I prefer to see things that provoke
thought instea l of smil°s. The wonders of the
exhibits in the exposition, the progress of man-
kind in the arts and sciences fill the mind with
pleasant contemplation. When the telegraph
wises fii st reached our town we felt sure that
there was nothing ehe to invent or discover;
that nothing more was needed. But so many
wonderful aud useful things have piled up oa
us since tlia' now we live in a state of expect¬
ancy. What will come next?
When I was a boy we studied a philosophy
which said that the load must be near the
power, ami there was a pioture of a horse try-
ing to pull a bag of sand by a rope that was
100 yards long—and he couldn’t move it. Now
we read that the power from the electric plant
at Niagara is soon to pull all the boats on the
great Erie canal, and the thousands of horses
and mults are to be discharged from their mo-
notonous service. More than this—we read
that this same power is soon to supercede all
other powers in loading and unloading the ves¬
sels in N^w York haibor. If this power can
reach New York from Niagara, why not reach
across the continent? How long before all our
railway trains will be moved by it? There is
sufficient water power right hire near < avters-
ville to operate a plant that would move all the
wheels in Georgia. The children now at school
will live to laugh at the simplicity and stupidi¬
ty of their fathers and grandfathers just as I
now' smile at the recollection of the time when
my father kept a flint and steel and a piece of
punk in a little tin box and would strike a
spark aud light a candle when he wanted a
light in the night. It is funny to think of the
time when there were no matches, IV hat
would these cigarette boys do without raatche-?
Every comforts. decade brings The old ’cheaper methods and
more rule that Adam Smith
taught us in his “Wealth of Nations” was that
providence liad wisely ordained that the labor
of one man would easily support eight persons,
meaning himself and Wife and six children.
But lie wasent counting on ¥6 shoes for the
boys and ¥10 hats and balloon sleeves for the
girls and a college education for both. Tho
labor of the average man will not support eight
pet suns now, for notwithstanding the cheap¬
ness of things our wants are increasing ten¬
fold. Stephen Girard said that the way to get
rich w as to buy nothing that you are not ob¬
liged to have, but we reverse the maxim and
buy too many things we are not obliged to
have.
While in the exposition I did want to buy a
lot of those beautiful aluminium wares for my
wife, for but she do:s love pretty things and fine
things, I dident have the money. I let her
look at thtm and only bought her a pepper
box. Now that reminds me of onr troublo in
the south. That aluminium clay is all about in
our hills and is being mined and shipped every
day to Pittsburg and there it is reduced and
manufactured and the products come back to
us with two freights and big profits added,
•lust so with our manganese and ochre and lum¬
ber and bides aud most of our cotton and wool.
We have got to manufacture our own materials
or we will never catch up. But wc are making
good progress in iron and cotton and maybe
tho other plants will come along in time. I
learn that 80 per cent of that aluminium clay
is wasted and thrown away in the process of re¬
duction. Just think what a saving of freight
there would be if we could reduce the metal at
the mines. Wo would soon be the richest peo¬
ple on the earth if we could manufacture our
own materials. The labor is here, but it is
idle. Our boys are willing, but they can’t find
employment.
It is astonishing how rapidly wealth increases
when labor is rewarded. Look at a ruined
state like Georgia was in 1865 and now see
what thirty years have done. Look at the ex¬
position that has been planted with the money
from one city and is now' the wonder of tho
nation. Where does all this money come from?
Verily, down it looks like Aladdin’s lamp has come
to us—and yet almost everybody is com¬
plaining of hard times. I’ve been reading Jo¬
sephus again and I don’t understand how Solo¬
mon got all his money, for David was at war
with somebody most all his life. Josephus
says that silver was as plentiful in Jerusalem
as the stones in the street. The temple was
overlaid wdth gold and cost millions Of dollars.
Herod sent a little present of ten millions of
drachmae to Caesar. Hyrcanus sent ten thou¬
sand talents of gold. The Pharaohs built the
pyramids took for tlieir own tombs, and one of these
160,000 men thirty-seven years 1o com¬
plete it and it cost five hundred millions of
dollars and is not worth a cent to anybody.
Tho Aztecs of Mexico built some just as large.
The ruins of them are still there and historians
say they hid idols on their tops that were thirty
feet high and made of solid gold. There is a
cathedral now in the City of Mexico that cost
sixty millions of dollars.
What a vast amount of money has been
made from the beginning down to the pres¬
ent time. Mankind began early to hunt
for gold, for Moses says in the sec-
oed chapter of Genesis that the gold of
that land around Eden was good, and I reckon
old Adam dug for it and molded it and jingled
it in his pocket. He never wore fig leaves long.
John Knox, in his Geneva edition of the Bible,
an edition that lasted fifty years and was very
popular, says that Adam and Eve, when they
knew that they were naked, made for them¬
selves “breeches,” and bo, of course, tlr>y had
pockets to carry their money in. Old Mother
Eve wore breeches then, and her offspring, the
new woman,got her fashion riirlit straight from
the garden of Eden. What will Dr. Hawthorne
say about that?
But silver came along in due time. Abraham
bought the cave of Macpelah and paid 400 she¬
kels of silver current money with the merchant
It was not coined, for he weighed it. I reckon
it was granulated like we used to buy gold half
a century ago. My father was a merchant,
and bought a great deal of fine gold from the
miners, and most of it was in goose quills. The
quill was transp arent and had_a little wooden
stopper, nnd a good large one held about §10
worth. Josephus says that in his day gold and
silver were coined ar.d stamped. It was rough¬
ly done, I reckon, for I ave a coin that is 1,600
years old, and it lias Constantine on one side
and two Roman lictors on the other; and it is a
rough job. Aluminium would make a beauti¬
ful coin, and with the government stamp would
be a handier coin than silver, for it is not half
so heavy. It is the stamp that fixes the value.
Iron aud copper were used by the Greeks and
Romans just as we use nickel now.
What a rumpus this question of currency has
raised, and it came upon us this lime so sud¬
den and unexpected. Where all the gold is I
don’t know, tor I never see any of it. Nobody
but the bankers and the United States treasury
have any use for it. or anything to do with it.
It travels back and forth across the water in
bags an l boxes and settles the balances of
trade with the banks and the merchant princes,
cnitha’ is what it is for, I reckon. I haven’t
seen hut one piece in two years,and that wasn’t
mine. What good it is doing locked up in
vaults I don’t know, but I reckon it is all right.
Tope said whatever is is right, and so I don’t
worry. Wc still live and are out of jail, and
there is peace and harmony in the house¬
hold—and that is a bigger thing than gold or
silver.— Bill Aep, in Atlanta Constitution.

WISE WORDS.
A man may unlearn, but a woman,
never.
To some people ignorance seems to
be intuitive.
Wealth is sometimes more burden*
some than poverty itself.
No virtue, that is the result of fear,
can be taught by example.
The time to shoot folly is not when
it flies, but before it flies.
Whether one’s taste is good or ba 1
is largely a matter of taste,

Tho consequences are sometimes
more than one person can take.
Many a silly woman has been able
to lead a wise man around by the

When a man combines in himself
cash and character, he is practically
invincible.

Every man longs to be a woman
just long enough to show what a good

It may be stated as a business fact
that Cupid doesn’t always pay the
debts he contracts.
It is the way in which we employ

If a mau could run out of debt as
easily as he can run into it, times

Man argues that woman cannot ba

For the sake of depriving others of
pleasure, some people are willing to
endure hardships themselves.
The coward may not be able to keep
up his own courage, but he keeps up
the courage of somebody else.
When a boy first starts in the shoe
shining business, he nearly works
himself to death on one pair.
The person who attempts to keep
one eye an the past and the other eye
on the future will ruu cross-eyed.
To store our memories with a sense
of injustice, is to fill with rusty iron a
chest that was made of refined gold.
The question in some communities
is not whether a young mau can do
anything, but whether ho can do any¬
body.
A little early success has spoiled a
great many good men; and a little
early failure has crushed myriads of
imbeciles.

The leading newspaper in Vienna
rriuts at length the amazing last will
and testameut of a wealthy old ec¬
centric who died lately at Hadersdorf-
am-Karap. “I bequeath the whole of
my property, movable and immov¬
able,” says he, “to my six nephews,
and my six nieces, but under the sole
condition that every one of my nep¬
hews marries a woman named Autouie,
and that every one of ray nieces mar¬
ries a mau named Anton.” The twelve
are further required to give the Ohris-
taiu name Antonie or Anton to each
first-born child, according as it turns
out to be girl or boy. The marriage
of each nephew and niece is also to bo
celebrated on one of the St. Anthor-
ney’s days, either January 17, May
10 or June 13. Each is further re¬
quired to bo married before tho end
of July, 1896. Any nephew or niece
remaining unmarried to an Antonie
or an Anton after that date forfeits
half of his or her share of the prop¬
erty.”

From thi Herald. Ba'timore, Md.
Mrs. J. P. Grove, a marriel laly with
grandchildren, lives 417 Pinkney Place,
Baltimore. She would easily pass for a
woman of half her age, and owes her present
state of good healih and probably her life to
the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. A Herald
reporter called at tho house a few days ago
and weis informed that Mrs. Grove had gone
out for a walk and would soon be back. The
scribe was ushered into the parlor to await
her arrival. The room gave every evidence
of refinement aud the care and attention of
a good housewife. Choice books lay around
giving proof of the intelligence of the family,
and the walls were decorated with many rare
articles of virtu and bric-a-brac from South
America, Japan, and other countries. When
Mrs. Grove was announced the reporter was
astonishe 1 to find her such a young lookiug
and healthy woman. She is well educated,and
is a fluent talker and interesting to listen to.
She, however, declined at first to speak of
the results she ha l experienced from taking
the Pink Pills as. she said, she did not like
to have her name,appear in print in any way.
“However,” she added, after some little hesi¬
tation, “the pilLs did me so much good that
I might be doing wrong by not letting some
other sufferer know what they did for ma”
Then she said, “Dr. Williams'Pink Pills are
certainly all the proprietors represent them
to be. I never had such relief from any
other medicine. A short lime ago I had an
attack of f peritonitis which left me in such a
prostrate and nervous condition that I de-
spaired of recovery I could neither sleep,
eat or read with any degree of peace or sat-
isfaction, and life was absolutely a burden.
Having heard that others had been cured of
the same tronblesby Dr. Williams’Pink Pills,
I secured several boxes and began to take
them. As if by magic I at once began to
improve. Thev cured me, and now I hare
