THE TlMES-JOURiiAL. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY -AT EASTMAN, GEORGIA In recent year, it ha* been claimed by ehemUts that the changes attending th« dissolution of metals in acid, are only In part electrical and in part chemical. The coal syndicate A Pennsylvania, with headquarters at New York city, has informed the pub! o that out of the anthracite coal mined, not more than forty per cent, is ava able for consump¬ tion. Trie Supreme Court of North Caroli¬ na, at a recent session rendered an im¬ portant decision, to the effect that a husband can mortgage his real estate without the consent of his wife, unless the identical piece of property has been act aside as his homestead by apprais¬ ers. In order to encourage the dairy in¬ dustry in Victoria, the Minister of Ag¬ riculture has decided to establish a dairy college in one of the rural districts of the colony. Abeady a traveling dairy isatworkatan expense of $25,000 a year, but the instruction given in this way is Dot sufficiently complete. There is a larger proportion »f the boys and girls of New Jersey than of any other Sta'e of the Union who go to Sunday school, according to an estimate in the New York Commercial Advertiser. It appears by statistics recently taken that there are just about 280, 009 chil¬ dren ia the 1,997 Sunday schools of New Jersey. Home rule in India is a question that looms up before the British Government with even more of danger in it than any other, declares the New York Voice. The education of the past half century has wakened many thoughts in th« young minds of Calcutta, Bombay, Ma¬ dras, and tbe thoughts are taking shap* in formal demands. The French are endeavoring to raisf the funds for a Congo (Africa) railway, which will pass entirely through French territory, in oppos tion to the schems fora railway from Vivi to Stanley Pool to the River Kwilu.

S»ys tho Norristown 11 raid: “Tho hsathen Chinee is no longer pernyttjd to come to this country, but the lower classes of Hungarians arc allowed to land in America by thousands. While Hungarians were robbing tho dead in Johnstown the Chinese pagans in New York wero raising a fund of sevoral hundred dollars for tho benefit of tho flood sufferers.” Tlie Boston Transcript has discovered that people in tho habit of leaving newspapers and packages on tho top of street letter boxes cannot expect tho aid of the United Stales in punishing pur loiners. Packages so left arc not depos ited in tho mails within tho meaning of tho law, and stealing them is no offense against the United Stales statutes. It is, of oourse, an offense against the laws of the Slate wherein it is committed, and the local police must be looked to for tho arrest of the purloiners. The Boston Transcript says: 1 ‘There is one man in St. Louis who appreciates the law’s delays. His name is Dier bergev, and in May, 1S83, ho deliber¬ ately shot nnd killed a man in a horse car. Ou his first trial he was promptly convicted of murder in the first degre*. The supreme court reversed the judg¬ ment. There was a new trial and ho was sentenced to twentv-five years’ im prisonment. The sentence seemed too severo to Dierherger. H - appealed, got a now trial aud was sentenced to ten years in prison, But even this conces lion did not satisfy him. One day ro ccntlv the case was t...,en up on his renewed appeal, and was compromised on one year in jail and $1,000 fine. Let others speak slightingly of the law’s delays, Dierherger will always say they saved his life." The Indian population of the United States is increasing slowly. Not in¬ cluding Alaska, the Indian population on reservations is 2fi4,599, of which 81,309 are mixed bloods. It appears, by the 1TS7 Government statistics, that for that year there were 4,794 births and 3.8SS deaths, leaving an increase of ouly one-third of one per cent. Ol course this varies on different reserva¬ tions, as in New Mexico the increase was over two per cent, But it is ob lerved that, wi.h this one exception, where the Indian population is com paratively large, as m the Indian Terri- . torv, Dakota, Montana, IVashington, Arizona and California, there is little o. no increase.

The young man made the indorsement the basis for a systematic series of forgeries, reaching tbe sum above mentioned. Mr. Blaisdell discovered the forgeries merely by acci¬ dent. He at once charged the young lawer with the crime, the latter con¬ fessing in the presi nee of several wit nesses. The forger’s friends at once took steps to hush the matter up and an arrangement w'as made whereby the en¬ be tire amount of the forgeries was to paid over to Mr. Blaisdell in considern tion of bis not prosecuting tbe young criminal.

When the balloon had traveled upwards about seven hundred feet tlie crowd dis¬ covered that it was bursting, gas could be seen shooting out, and s >ou the can¬ vas cloth begin to drop. As Professor Perry was holding on under the pur« chute, he was not aware of his terrible situation. The crowd became frantic with excitement. Yells went up and I'istols were fired to attract the man’s attention, but all of no avail. Soon, however, all the gas and air in the balloon was exhausted, and it began to fall downward. It was too late to loosen the parachute from the wrecked balloon, but for some distance it was successfully engineered. The balloon causing the parachute to capsize, all came down with a terrible crash to the earth. The unfortunate man was taken from the wreck in an in.-ensible condi¬ tion.
