Entering the door, attention is first attracted to a long row of ta bles on either side of the room, hich is about 30 feet wide by' 40 feet wide. Here and there a table contained a “point” as the medical profession term a body. In the day time tho “points” are covered over from head to toe 'with moist banda-, ges to keep them from drying up. The dissecting is done only at night, when the scene is a busy one and much-more Interesting.' The room contains 40 tables in all, and often in thd midst of the college term each' one is brought into use. The table consists of a large slab formed some what on the plan of a woman’s iron ing board, only it is a little larger. Gutters are cut an inch from the edge's, and just deep enough to al low the drippings to go into a pan on the floor at the foot of the board. The slabs are set on horses about threeand a half feet in height, with thehcad'a little the highest. On each side of a table is a bench large enough to accommodate two stu dents. All of these are movable. There is another smaller bench for the sudent who works on the head. Small blocks of wood are provided to place under different parts of the body to put them in position. A small room adjoining is for private classes, and contains five or six ta bles. As there are' over three hun dred students attending the Ohio College at present, itis necessary to have at least forty cavaders for the course, • which lasts six months.

He held that only recognized state bofids or bonds of the United States register ed at the time the trade was made or issued in pursuance of laws exist ing at that time could be received. The governor, the' treasurer and the attorney general all agreeing on this opinion the state coolly refused the tender of the three-quarters of a million, because the tender was not in.,de in bonds conforming to the strict letter and spirit of the law. The attorneys of the road were considerably taken back,. and held that they had the right to pay in money or 'in either of the three classes of bonds referred to; that the state should not force them to pay a premium for bonds with which to make the settlement; that if tliey had to buy bonds at a pre mium the state should take them at a premium. They asked for a hear ing before the attorney general, which was granted, and they ap peared and made lengthy arguments but to no effect. They then asked the governor to submit the question to the supreme court, but he refus ed.

M. Browne. “I knew him well before he died,” was the reply. . The stranger made a number of inquiries about General Browne and then announced that he was. a nephew of the General and that his name was .Frederick William Browne. 'He stated that he was from Chicago and had come south ward to look after the property left by the General. Of course Judge Erwin was very much surprised it had always been believed that General Browne had no relatives in this country. . The death of this distinguished Georgian has brought about several surprises. His wife died several years ago and he was left alone in fife. When he died no will could be found, and Judge Howell Cobb was appointed administrator on the estate, which amounted to about five thousand dollars in value. About the time the administrator was winding up the affairs it was announced that a will had been found. An examination of the will showed that it was executed in *873, while General Browne was in Memphis, and that ex-President Jefferson Davis and Chief Justice James Jackson were appointed ex ecutors. As the estate was small and as it was about already wound up, the executors, after consultation, decidad to decline the trust and let the administrator proceed with the disposition ot the property. Thus the matter stood until day before yesterday, when the will was offered to the probate court of Clarke county. The young strang er was there, and, stating that he represented the heirs of General Browne, asked that action on the will be postponed for two mouths in order that the heirs might have time tQ consider their interests. He stated that his father and General Browne were brothers, but that his father was dead. That he had not heard of the death of Genera! Browne until about six weeks ago and that was by the merest acci dent. His eye chanced to fall upon a paragraph in the Chicago Inter- Ocean making some reference to the will of General Browne. He at once began an investigation of. the matter. Mr. Browne stated that he had four sisters who would share equally with him the estate. There are also heirs at Brown Hall, Ire land, and perhaps one or two others. • Mr. Browne says that the last communication he had with his un cle was in April, 1879. The young man’s family was then at Athens, Ohio, and expected a visit from the General, but moving to Chicago missed him. General Browne’s brother died in 1S61. The General was a relative of the marquis of Sli go and of Lord Ornmore. It is not known what action will be tak en in reference to the wilL Mr. Browne will leave for Chicago to day. General Browne’s property was willed to his relatives Dut was left partially to Mr. Davis and oth ers of his friends.

'Accord^ ing to the story of Detective Adams, of New York, at whose request the arrest was made, Miss Everett is a beautiful young girl of 16, living, with her parents at West 119th street, IJJew York.

Here they' lunched to gether and Callahan prevailed upon her to drink a glass of milk punch, under the pretext that it was only a simple, unihtoxicating beverage. He had previously drugged .the liquor, and while under the influ ence of the drug accomplished her ruin. He then had her taken in a close carriage to a disreputable "hotel, where he locked her up in a room and kept her a close prisoner for four days. .When the girl recover ed from the 'effect of the drug and realized her terrible position, she vainly begged Callahan to release her, but alter four days’ time he let her out only after she had solemnly promised she would never tell what had occurred. In the meantime her parents had been searching for her, and when she returned home the whole story came out. Callahan stoutly denies the charge made against him. He refuses to go to New York without requisite papers, and Detective Adams left for New York this morning to get him. 9454-635 750,00° 1585.. ...V.— I$S6« . . - -; 1559.. ^..u 1590.. ..... 1892.. p,— 1596..

Me SHOT DOWN. A Han Mortally WooBdad foi an AUogtd Wrong to a Girl. Hazleton, Pa., March 2.—Be tween seven and eight o’clock last evening, while the streets were thronged with people, a shooting aflair occurred on the corner of Broad and Pine streets, causing the most intense excitement William Nichols, aged about 28 years, was standing on the sidewalk, when he was approached by Edwin Brother- as, an Englishman, with whom Nichols has recently been boarding at a house on East Chestnut street. When within four paces of his vic- rim Brotheras made some remark about settling a difficulty that exist ed between them, and receiving no response drew a revolver and fired two shots at Nichols in rapid suc cession, the first shot taking eflect in the right arm, between the wrist and the elbow, and the second ball entering the head at the ear. Broth- eras was arrested and locked up. Nichols was taken to his boarding house, where he is lying in a critical condition and cannot recover. The cause assigned by Brotheras for the shooting is that Nichols had seduc ed his niece, a girl of 18. traded such attention “as ’the opin- -ion in the. Fdmous Georgia k 11 case.

Mayne Reid, in his last story, “The Land of Fire,” how appearing in St Nicholas, gives in the March installment the follow ing interesting description of a pe culiar Fuegian manner of fishing:' “By this time, [4 canoes have arriv ed at the entrance to the inlet, and are forming in a line across it at equal distances from one another, as if to bar the way against anything thatmay attempt to pass outward. Just such is their design; the fish being what they purpose infilading. “Soon the fish hunters, having completed their ‘cordon’ and drop ped the dogs overboard, come up to the cove, the women plying the paddles, the men with javelins up raised, ready for darting. The little foxy dogs swim abreast of and be tween the canoes, driving the fish before them—as sheep dogs drive sheep—one or another diving down at intervals to intercept such a% at tempt to escape outward. For in the translucent water they can see the fish far ahead, and, trained to the work, they keep guard against a break from these through the the inclosing line. Soon the fish are forced up to the inner end of the cove, where it is shoalest; and then the work of slaughtering com mences. The dusky fishermen, standing in the canoes and bending over, now to this side, now to thatl plunge down their spears and fiz gigs, rarely failing to bring up a fish of one sort or another; the strug gling victim shaken off into the bottom of the canoe, there gets its death-blow from the boys. “For nearly an hour the curious aquatic chase is carried on; not in silence, but amid a chorus of deaf ening noises, the shouts of the sav ages and the barking and yelping of their dogs mingling with the shrieking of the sea birds overhead. And thrice is the cove ‘drawn’ by the canoes, which are taken back to, its mouth, the line reformed, and the process repeated till a good supply of the fish best worth catch ing has been secured.” FAILURES IN GEORGIA LAST WEEK.

One part was turned over seven inches deep, an other ten inches, add a third, after ■being plowed ten inches more-, making a soil comparatively loose to tlje depth of twenty inches. The next year, which was a dry one.dur- ing ‘the summer, corn was grown upon the 'whole field, which was treated uniformly - throughout and ,-.the yield of the three divis ions carefully measured. The sev en-inch plowing yielded as well as the ordinary fields in that vicinity. That part plowed ten inches deep was greener all through the season, and. gavefleeidedly a better yield, but that which was plowed ten inches, sjlbsoiled ten inches in addi tion,^produced just - one-third more corn than that plowed in the usual way—seven inches deep. The’ next year the whole field was sown to oats. The season was eveu dryer, than’the preceding one when corn Was grown. On the shallow-plow ed section the growth was short, t|ie straw soon yellowed; on the JO- inch plowing }he oats grew taller, and did not yellow so soon, while on the subsoiled portion’they remained green and heavy for some weeks longer than the Others, and the final test showed that fully one-third more grain was produced on the Subsoiled part than on that which was'plowed only seven inches deep THE SOUDAN.
