SHE WILL NOT TALK.
Remarkable Portuguese Woman Wlio
Leads the Life of a Hermit.
Hormits are plentiful enough in
all parts of California, but nearly all
of them are men. For some reason
the gentle sex seldom shows a desiro
to forsake the world and live in a
leaky ce.bin on a desolate spot of the
earth's surface with nothing but
wild beasts for companions and a
scant bill of fare. There is one wo
man at least who prefers such a life.
She is a Portuguese, and her name
is Mme. Munier. Her home is in
the sand hills on the Pacifio coast,
about 15 miles below Poscadero.
Mme. Munier, in a way, leads a
perfect hermit’s life, more so than a
great many of the masculine her
mits at present camping out in dif
ferent parts of the state. Her homo
is faiVff the road and close to the
waters of the Pacific. It is only a
boxlike shanty, built under the side
of a sand bill so as to be protected
from tbe ever blowing wind. The
surroundings are wild in the ex
treme, and nature shows herself iu
her most uncongenial mood. The
house lias only one room, in which
the woman eats, drinks and sleeps.
It is over 20 years since Mme. Mu
nier came to live in the vicinity of
her present home. Her husband, a
Frenchman, was with her then, and
they ooupied a comfortable house
with a small pioco of land around it.
After about three years M. Munier
disappeared. He went away one
morning, saying that he was going
to San Francisco, and has never
come back. At least it is not known
to the neighbors that lie lias.
After a few months of solitude in
tbe little house Mme. Munier went
out into the sand bills and built her
self the slianty that she still occu
pies.
Tho only peoplo that she has spo
ken to in all the years since her hus
band’s departure are the st fire keep
ers at different points along the
road, and she simply tells them
what she wants and refuses to en
gage in conversation. For weeks
she will keep inside her cabin. Her
sole occupation is knitting. If any
body calls on her, she never stops.
To ask her a question is like talking
to a deaf person, as she never seems
to bear.
Mme. Munier is strong and healthy
and in good weather walks all the
way to Santa Cruz for her provi
sions. She carries a large basket on
her back, and when filled it will con
tain enough to last her for months.
All the water she uses has to bo car
ried a long distance, hut she always
takes it in large quantities and does
not make many trips for tho purpose.
People who know Mme. Munier
look upon her as a mystery. Most
of them incline to the belief that her
husband bad some reason for keep
ing out of sight, but visits her oc
casionally and brings her money.
But none of them takes enough in
terest to investigate and are content
to let her live as she pleases in her
little shanty jji tho sand hills.—Kan

XJfie Duke’s Own Loadon.
The owner of the most kasliionabla
district of London is the Duke of
Westminster. This extensive prop
erty at, the West end was acquired
by the marriage iu 1076 of Kir
Thomas Grosvepor with Miss Mary
Davies, the only child of Alexander
Davies of Ebury manor, which,
roughly speaking, is represented by
the Grosvenor estate of today. Tho
boundary of the estate, which is sit
uated in the parishes of St. George,
Hanover square and St. John, West,
minster, begins at tho marble arch
on tho south side of Oxford stroet,
runs down the center of Oxford
atrcoi almost to South Molton street,
and, passing down Davies street,
takes in a small portion of Berkeley
square (with Thomas’ hotel) and, in
cluding both sides of Mount street,
runs up the middle of Park lane to
the marble arch again.
The Belgravia part of the estate
begins at St. George’s hospital, runs
down the center of Grosvenor place
to tho Buckingham palace road and
passes down the western side of
Vauxball bridge road, almost in a
straight lino to the river Thames;
thence running along the river bank
eastward as far as the Grosvenor
canal. The property does not com
prise Sloane square, Cadogan place
or Lowndes square, but includes all
Belgrave square and Wilton, cres
cent, the boundary running up again
almost to the Knightsbridga road.

Mr. Grossmith afid the
Mr. George Grossmith is one of
pur best known public, performers,
but he has a nonprofessional social
life—when lie sinks his public char
acter in that of the ordinary English
gentleman. ’Some people don't see
this, and a good story hearing on
tho point is told. Once a wealthy
hatter, with whom Mr. Grossmith
had some slight acquaintance, came
up to him at a Mansion House hall
and said: “Hello, Mr. Grossmith!
What are you doing here? Are yog
going to give us any of your little
funniments, eh?" “No,” replied
Mr. Grossmith. “Are you going to
sell any of your hats?” An effective
retort. —Westminster Gazette.
'The T *ufl'.ilo luiil Flamingaes.
The buffalo is used as a beast'of
burden in Java. Everywhere you
see them grazing lazily in the fields
or dragging carts and plows. It is a
clumsy animal. Thick folds of su
perfluous fat and skin hang about
tho neck and limbs, and a constant
stream of perspiration runs from its
almost hairless body. A beautiful
pair of crescent shaped horns adorn
the forehead of this tropical horse.
Flocks of flamingoes and white
cranes strut and fly in and out
among these beasts.
On one occasion I saw a beautiful
flamingo parading up and down the
back of a buffalo cow, which was
lying almost immersed in a mud
hole by the roadside. The bird was
feasting his tropical appetite by
picking inseots and other unwelcome
visitors from tiie shining hack of
this mammoth beast. This kind of
thoughtfulness on tho part of the
flamingo is much appreciated by
the cow, and I am convinced there
exists between them a pure, platonic
friendship. What a peculiar thing
this world is, for what is a torture
and a menace to the buffalo is a
choice morsel much appreciated by
the acute palate of the crane!—Mil

A Discussion oi the
O urrency (lestion
loy *l. "W. Prince, of
Pearson, ( ia .
The people of every section of the United States are discussing’ free
silver, and. after several months of dilligeut study, I have concluded to issue
this circular letter to the good people of my county.
I do not believe, from the reading of the Republican platform that they
will enact a free coinage law. No more silver coins will be added to the vol
ume of our currency except that which is coined for the purpose of redeem
ing and retiiing our paper money. Now, the question J wish to discuss is,
how can we use what money we have in circulation in Coffee county to the
best advantage.
Firstly, 1 would advise strict economy, which can ho practiced by trading
at my store. I have the largest and best selected stock of general merchan
dise in Pearson, and am willing, yea anxious, to accept all 52 cent silver dol
lars in payment for my goods, giving as much and often more than you get
elsewhere for a gold dollar.
1 hose who have the cash to pay* for their purchases can sec their money
appreciating in value as soon as they enter my store.
1 have a pretty line of Shoes Hats, Dry Go&ds, Clothing, Groceries
Fancy Candies, Cold Drinks, Trunks, Crockeryware, Glassware, etc., etc.
Remember I have the goods and they are to be sold at real bargain
prices. Don’t forget to call and hear the Regina play. Each and every
purchase to the amount of 50 cents entitles you to a ticket and a chance to
get this beautiful, 167.00 music box free. Respectfully,
Pearson, Ga., June 20, 1800. j_ \y PRINOE
