After William H. Crawford kill

Cla r k, aftccwarda Gov. Clark,
sought a difficulty with him. G«n.
Clark had made something of a
name as a soldier, and withal, was

Allen was a friend to Gen. Clark,
and i.-is death Was u grievous
wrong in the c3'pb of Gen. Clark.
He sought a difficulty with Mr.
Crawlord and sent a challenge,
which was accepted. On tho day
of meeting, Gen. Clark and his
second, so says Gov. Gilmer, har
assed him with quibbled and con
troversies until he was out of tem

took his position his left arm w».

oov. clark’s frexchman.
When Gen. Lafayette visited
Georgia in 1825 dinner was given
him in Milledgeville. Col. Seaborn
Jones was master ol the ceremonies
on the occasion. At the proper
time said Col. Jones: "Gentle
men, fill your glasses for a toast
from Gen. Lafayette.”
Lafayette, in broken Knglish,
gave "The Georgia Volunteers.
The worthy sons of my revolution
ary brethren.” Cheer after cheer
followed the toast.
“Prepare for a toast from Oov.
Troup,” was the next order. Oov.
Troup arose anil gave, “A union
of all hearts to honor the nation’s
guest. A union of all heads for
our country's, good." The house
shook with the cheers given.
The next order was to prepare a
toast from Gov. Clark. Gov. Clark
arose and gave: “Count Pulaski—
The gallant Frenchman who fel'
at Savannah.” Glasses were emp
tied in honor of the French Count,
and no corrections made; for it
was not a fit occasion to be critical
as to where anybody had been
born, except Lafayette.
JUDGE DOOLY AND THE MERCHANTS.
Judge D00I3', the noted wit of
his day, had more stories told of
him than of any dozen other law
yers. He had a fine head, and the
finest brilliant round black eyes
that were ever seen in a head. His
mind was clear as light and quick
which time she had been of a uni-
foim lempev—that she had been
mad une day w'th arottier, uni
formly mud, without the least va
riation, ever since he first knew
her, and be p'a.vcd God that he
■night never know another.
ALWAYS GAVE.
Judge Dooly was a man of the
wnrmest charity. He observed on
Ono occasion when a beggar asked
for alius, that he was early taught,
from rc r using lo give to an unlor
lunate widow in Savannah, never
to let the devil client Dim out ol
another opportunity of bestowing
chanty; that he had dotcrnvned ‘.o
oi r on the safe side ever af.er, and
lo give something in all cases of
doubt.
NO LAWYER.
A certain lawyer in Lincoln
county was a candidate for the
Legislature. When asked by
Judge Dooly as to bis chances for
an election, the lawyer replied that
he was apprehensive ho would be
defeated “as the peoplo in the
county had a strong prejudice
against voting for a lawyer."
“Oh," replied the judge, "if
that is all, I will aid you, for you
can get a certificate from me at any
time that you arc no lawyer."
It is hardly necessary to say the
prolered aid was unhesitatingly re
jected.
JUDGE DOOI.Y ON HIS DYING HKD.
The ruling passion of Judge
Dooly’s nature was strong even
when dying. When confined lo
bit bed for the last time a friend
called to sec him and ask of his
condition.
The Judge said: That he had a
bad cold without any cough to suit
it, that his cold never hurt him
when his cough suited it. He died
on May 26, 1827, committing his
soul to God and his memory to
man.

An illuminated view of a dys

lul sight and a dreadful warning.
A view of tho interior of a healthy
stomach is not unpleasant, but, on
the contrary, is a very interesting
sight. There is nothing like Brown’s
Iron Hitters to keep tho stomach
healthy or to restore it when
demoralized by the effects of indi
gestion. Miss Ida Shivers, Ellicott
City, Md., says, "I suffered from

NEKI.KU THE HUNAN SOUL.
Ciocago, Aug. 27.—A morning
paper here publishes a special dis
patch Irom I/ncoln, Neb., announc
ing that a gentleman ot that place,
has discovered that the existence
of the human soul can be demon
strated by mic-oscopic teats, and
that the soul has shape,dimensions
nnd other characteristics pertain
ing to the human body, and that
in fact it it counterpart in form,
invisible to the eye, but risible
through a microscope. For tbe
sake of convenience, and to keep
his identity secret, tbe discoverers
name is given as Holland, but that
is not his name. The discovery is
said to have been brought about
through an investigation of • will-
known physician of persons who
have undergone amputation suffer
ing pains in the missing members.
John C. Wa d, of Cuthbert, wbo
went crazy on holiness, reached
Macon Tuesday night en route to
the asylum. He was between two
guards, and hi* strange conduct
soon attracted tbe attention of all
the visitors to the depot. Heoame
out of tbe car singing “Rook of
Ages,” in the moat plaintive man
ner. When be was carried into
the waiting room he began immedi
ately to pray, and contiooed until
bis manner grew so violent thnt
the guards were compelled to in
terfere aod quiet him. After re
maining composed for a few mo
ments he began singing “Jesus,
Lover of My Soul.” When ke had
finished he began to preaeh, aad
used such profane language that
the guards were forced to interfere.
When they did io, he grew violent
and attempted to fight everyone
in reach.
