We have indulged He Discusses Miss Hurst the Wonder ful Magnetic Girl. I can’t help ruminating about Miss Lula, that/wonderful girl, who is now astonishing herself and everyliody else in this region. I haven’t seen her yet, but I am going on the stage as one of the jury, for I don’t want to be turn* hied about like a humming top by a girl. When she gets a husband, I reckon he will be a very meek man, meeker than Moses. Why, she could turn his side of the bed over and spill him into the fireplace, and lay there and laugh at him while he was picking himself up. But she is a good tempered girl I know, or she would take satisfac tion out of some folks, and bump’ ^m around smartly, justto convert’ em to the faith, and amuse the audi ence. All people of strength and power are good temper ed. I have no doubt, whatever about Miss Lula’s mysterious power, and have no idea that muscle has any thing to do with it. This is not the first ease on record. Newspaper literature has many of them and the standard hooks on animal mag netism have hundreds of authentic cases. As late as 1867,. all of Boston was excited over a young Irish girl who was hired as a chamber, maid near that city and who was at first slightly affected with this mysterious power, and it grew on her until she could not even ap proach a piece of furniture without disagreeable consequences. The table turned uver with the crock ery, the wash-stands kicked up their hind legs and spilt the pitch ers and the chairs went sliding away from her like they were bewitched. The poor girl had no kindred and was afraid of herself and cried and her employer took her to Boston to be treated by the physicians and they put her on exhibition as a world’s won der. There ■ was nothing peculiar in her appearance except a profu sion of long coarse black hair that looked like two or three horses tails bunched up together. Sam son lost his power when they cut off his hail- and maybe Miss Lula would too, I dont know, I dont know anything hardly for the world is full of mysteries aiul I’m not going to say a thing is not so just: because I cant tell"why tis so. The hair has got something to k do with strength and will power and maybe that is the reason why the female sex electify us so and make us do just exactly as they please.— It is their long hair that like the hundreds of hair like tubes in the electric eel are full of magnetism.— Those eels can knock a house down in the water and never touch him and some woman can wither a man into subjec tion by a lodk. History says that Jupiter always shakes his am brosial locks when he gives a com mand. He is generating magnet ism I reckon, but then woman’s will is so sweet and so judicious that we cannot complain, and as for me I have no idea of using the shears at my house. By no means. There are mysteries and myste ries, some new ones, and the old ones have become so familiar that we dont notice them, and have quit trying to understand or to ex plain. What makes a seed produce a plant or an egg a bird is the same old mystery, it always was and there are many just as won derful. Indeed I cannot tell wliat power guides my hand while lam writing and nobody else can.— .Such things are so common we have ceased to wonder. Every few years somebody comes up with unnatural powers and sets all the world wondering, but these human curiosities are not new to history. They are all old and have been pondered and written about by men of science and hun dreds of books published and after all th<;re is nothing settled. Noth ing about spiritualism nor ani mal magnetism nor clairvoyance nor double consciousness nor the spasmodic shakings of the shaking quaker.s. In the old times Haul went to the witch of Endor, a me- dinm I reckon and got her to call Are MUrat tlietr old stain! on Rome! up the spirit of Samuel and he talked with the dead prophet and receives his own death warrant.— Well nobody has explained, that bxfbpt to say itSviis*a miracTe still later there were men possessed with devils or evil Spirits and the spirits left them and got into some hogs and run them down into the sea.and nobody understands that.

And ever since then there have been visions ard trances and super natural visitations at intervals all over the civilized world, enough of them in all conscience to satisfy any reasonable man that “It is not all of life to live, Nor all of death to die/’ The spirits do communicate with us at times I cannot doubt but I do doubt their seeking such mediums as tables and chairs and bedsteads or even those human blasphemers who deride revelation and make a mock of God and religion. If spir its do ever choose, such people as their agents they are very, bad spir its and I will not trust them nor be lieve them. I have great reverence for some spiritualists. I believe that Sweden borg was one of the greatest and best men that ever lived and have no doubt of his intimancy with spirits and angels and he had a spiritual sight that enabled him to see far more than the human eye can see. It is historically certain that he knew T Stockholm was burn ing when lie was a hundred miles away and told the very minute when the flames reached the palace of the king. I believe that many devout people have supernatual visions on their death beds and like Jacob of old, see the angels as cending and descending. I believe that a man can cultivate good and pure emotions until he becomes sublimated and refined and experi ences an exaltation of the senses and draws very near to his maker and to heaven and a man can in dulge in sin and degradation until he draws equally near to the devil and to hell and has not far to go to get there. Swedenborg says that whatever propensities a man in dulges in this life he continues in the spirit land and I believe that. But spiritualism is one thing and animal magnetism is another and they are no kin It is just 100 years since Mesmer astounded France with his discoveries, and France appointed a commission of five il lustrious men to examine into it and report to the government, and our own Benjamin Franklin was one of them and they reported in favor of all the facts but against all of the theories. Aftert hat the sci ence found new friends and made converts of such famous men as Cuvier and La Place an d Agassiz and Sir. Wm. Hamilton and profess or Hitchcock. They declared that there was a newly discovered force or principle connected with our be ing, and they named it Od and in cluded animal magnetism, and somnambulism and clairvoyance and exaltation of the senses. They declared that some persons w ere constitutionally susceptible to this influence and others w r ere not, and that it has positive and negative qualities like the poles of an electric battery and maybe accumulated in the system to a wonderful de gree. The experiments made by men of science w r ere so astonishing that a new r commission of five learned men was appointed in 182-1 and they declared unanimously in favor of this mysterious pow’er of man over man. Since that time there has hardly been an interval of 20 yearsThat the world has not beenex- ecised by more discoveries on this line. About 40 years ago there w r ere experments in most every town, and we used to put persons to sleep and mesmerize them to our entire control. I remember a little darkey Tobe that was a daily victim to Dr* Alexander and Dr. Gordon, of Law- renceville. Any of us could make a machine of him in two minutes and stiffen his limbs into iron aud make him insensible to his owti pain and sensible to ours. He had no taste or smell or feeling or sight IK, to the exact time alld minute inci dents. With nil that has gone before we have no right to sport with these things as w r e sport with frauds and tricks of legerdemain. If w r e cannot explain we can wonder and wait. Not long ago there was a man in Liverpool who the London Times says sat blindfolded in a darkened room surrounded by men of science and in his mind followed one of them around several blocks and saw him hide a pin under a window’ blind and he told w’here it was hid den while sitting in his chair. You see he went double with that man He got his identity. He swallowed him, as it' were, and absorbed his will and his mental being. But this is enongh and too much I reckon. Miss Lula may have more powers than she is aw’ are of and I’m going to wait and see. Cer tain it is that she is too young and her family too honest and humble to have planned any fraud or de ception. Bill Arp, A Cheerful Spirit. The man or woman who always reveals a cheerful spirit Will sue ceed in life. The pleasant face will carry its possessor safely through iu spite of every opposing power.— Smiles will banish the darkness that gathers about every life path, and the sunlight will fall upon life’s pathway w herever a cheerful spir it exists. The sunbeams will melt the the world, and so a sunny spir it will scatter the coldness and darkness of humanity, and bring brightness and blessing to those about it. If there is anything repulsive about a human being it is a fretful spirit and a sorrowful face. If there is anything utterly repelling and disgusting, it is the sour visag- ed one who cannot smile or wear, a cheerful look, lnrt who continually broods over his misfortunes, and so keeps on the shadowy side of every thing. God’s sunshine is nothing to him, any more than the sunlght heaven is to the poisonous nettle- weed under the shadow of the sli my rock or dense shrubbery. His' dwarfed amUselfish spirit is as near ly like th^ net tie weed as it can be, or like anything else that grows in gloom and darkness. A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragant flower of the spirit—that constant ly sends out its beauty and fra grance, and blesses everything w ithin it reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most drea ry place of the world. It w ill hold in check the demons of despair and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radience over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and foreboding imaginations. Cultivate, then, a cheerful spirit, and cherish it as something sacred. Obey the command, Rejoice ever more,” and its light and blessed ness w ill ever fall upon thy path way- hut that^of^the person who mag netized him. 3Ve have seen these things too often to doubt but they are still as mysterious as ever. I have seen people who could not w rite at all, write a good letter while blindfolded and follow the lines and cross t’s witn educated accuracy. Dr,Braid picked up ;ui ignorant girl in New York, a girl w ho know nothing of the Swe dish language and nothing of|music and she was made to sing a |Swed- isli song in public with Jenny Lind, and she sang it well and gave cor rect tune and accent to the words. These things are hard to believe but they are not more wonderful than the sad experience of Gover nor* Hampton of South Carolina who told his ow r n story in Charls- ton Press aiul said that while lie w as in Tallabasse Florida he saw’ Tn a vision of the night his dw’eling in Columbia on fire and saW the ef fort made to save Ids children from the upper w indows and )\jis pop* Seious qf every particular aiul hur ried home to find ti all trim even A Joe Brown Pike. The Atlanta correspondent of the Telegraph and Messanger says: “It has been. charged, gravely by some, flippantly by many, that there Was no man killed or woun ded during the w r ar by the Joe Brown pike. A man caR be pro duced, living in Atlanta, who car ries an empty sleeve on account' of one of the said pikes. One Rich ard Yancey, a resident of West, Pe ters street, w hile at work near the pike factory during that stirring period, lost his arm in this w ise.— He was putting a deadly edge on a Joe Brow n Pike, using a steam grindstone, w hen, through some un accountable slip betw een the pike and the grindstone, his arm w as cut off below r the elbow. A curious question might arise out of this very case. Under the net of the Legislature, a man whb lost hi# arm below’ the elbow In the service is entitled to $40. • Can Richard draw under the act ? Should he look to the State or to the Joseph E. Brown Pike Company for an allowance ?” When our general news editor called and paid cash doW’n for the suit, the German was so delighted that lie asked his customer to go and take a drink with him. The editor of course declined, saying he did not drink; whereupon a gleam of satisfaction and intelligence combined shot across the tailor’s countenance as he oxclamed: “Dot’s de reason vy you pay for de cloths so quick as got em.”—Troy Times. is A Stranger in Arkansas. “Can you tell me how far it to the next house ?” “Stranger, you kain’t find the next house.” „Why?” /Because it ain’t thar.

Those up in she charac teristics of the average Georgia mule can appreciate it : Last week Joe Mitchell, a color ed citizen of Monroe county, had the misfortune to loose his tongue. It seems that Joe has a mule with which to conduct his little farm and he keeps him housed in a sort of shuck pen stable. Joe, desiring to have some fun at the mule’s ex pense, took the tin guano strewer. If you have ever seen one you will remember that there is a funnel placed on one end and the other is simply left sharp. Joe put the sharp end to his mouth and pointed the funnel end at the mule. He happened to be one of the Tump Ponder kind of mules, and he fired his heels at the funnel end of Joe’s guano bugle. His aim was w r ell taken, the mule’s heel came in con tact with thq funnel an the result to Joe w as, his tongue was clipped off. Next time Joe will do as Mark Twain suggest, speak to a mule’s head and not to his heels. Nothing Doing on Top. They were two solid citizens.— One was bald, but rejoiced iu a fine luxuriant beard. The other had a heavy growth of hair on his head, but was very bald as to his chin.—* The bald-chinned citizen was a very talkative individual, whose con versation was rapid and incessant. ■Meeting the bald-headed citizen one day in a company of gentle men, he opened fire on him touch ing the barreness of his sconce. “What do you suppose,” said he in his rattling, vivacious way, “w'hat do you suppose, neighbor, is the reason that you have no hair on your head and so much on your chin ?” “Well,” said the other very delib erately, “scientists say that men w r ho work with their brains create such a heat in the scalp that the hair is w T orn off.” “That sounds like a likely the ory,” chimed in the loquacious citi zen. “Yes it does,” returned the other, “and I think your case is a striking illustration of its probabilty. Now’, you have plenty of hair on your head but none on your chin* which just backs up the scientific theory, because all your work is done with your jaws,—there’s nothing doing on top!” OOtfFTY 0HUB0H DIBE0T0BY.

An agricultural exchange says the value of corn and oats may be briefly stated as follows: The former is deficient in many of the elements of nutrition so necessary for recuperating the constant wear and tear which necessarily takes place in the body of a living animal. On this account horses which are fed exclusively on corn and hay do .not receive the nourishment which appears necessary for the due sup port and maintenance of the ani mal fabric: hence, we must not be surprised that corn-fed horses show signs of being languid, by sweating profusely while being w orked, lack of vitality, etc. Oats, on the contrary, contain more of the essential elements of nutrition than any other article of food which can be fed with impunity to horses* Oats are not only the most natural food for horses, but are decidedly the most nutritious. They are the cheapest, because there is less risk in feeding them, and experience has proved that horses properly fed on oats and timothy hay can, w ith regular exercise, good grooming, and proper sanitary regulations, be brought to the highest state of phy sical cuiture, and can perform more work with less evidence of fatigue than when fed on any other article of food. A man w r ho know's how to take care of his business says: “Stand ing advertisements in a paper com mand confidence. The man who for a year resides in a community and lives a reputable life, though he be of moderate ability, will grow in the confidence and esteem of his fellows. On the same principle a newspaper advertisement becomes familiar to the reader. It may sel dom be read, still it makes the man and business of a man familiar, and its presence in the columns of a paper inspires confidence in the stability of the advertisement.” The Senate Committee on Claims has ordered a favorable report to be made on Senator Colquitt’s bill to repay the State of Georgia $27,- 175,50 money advanced by said State for the defense of her front ier against Indians from 1795 to 1818 and not heretofore repaid. The new postal notes have not met with much favor from the commercial men of the country, and now a new and serious objec tion has been raised to them. Ar senic Is one of the ingredients used in coloring them, and several clerks in the Sixth Auditor’s office at Washington have been poisoned by handling them. A Washington correspondent of a New Orleans paper has this to say al>out Senator’s having private sec retaries: “A member of the House has more need of a private secreta- tary than a Senator. If he wants that luxury let him pay for it. It would have been much better course in the opinion of many members for the Senate to have vo ted outright to increase their sal ary $1000 a year. The bill in w'hich there is an appropriation for the Senate contingent fund, out of which the private secretaries are to be paid, is the legislative, execu tive and j udicial. Tlie.HouseJprepar- es this bill. There is likely to be a dead lock between the House and Senate when that bill is considered this session. A num ber of members have determined to put in it a clause prohibiting pay to Senator’s secretaries.” Right; — hope it will pass. “More mutual love and marriages are among the great wants of our time. The darkest side of our pre sent social life lies in the direction of this want. Young men and maidens are not marrying as fast as is good and healthful for public morality and social virtue. Pure, happy, industrious homes consti tute the nucleus of both church and State, and a peaceful, united pair is the only normal, divinely establish ed and perfectly rounded unit of humanity and the only true centre and source of all that makes life valuable or earth blessed.” The grand jury of Haralson mak es a somewhat novel recommenda tion, but nevertheless a good one 1 They recommed that the people of the county support their local paper w ith a liberal patronage. “I will stake my opinions against any man’s,” said Mrs. Littlewait, proudly. “I got ’em from my law yer and they cost me $250.” Orange peel is now 7 said to lie col lected, dried in ovens and sold for kindling fires.
