In early clerk, and first went into business for himself at Oglethorpe, in Macon county. Then when the railroad terminus was moved on from Oglethorpe to Americus he moved to that city, and engaged in the mercantile business. When the war broke out he sold out his interests in Sumter and weut in as captain of an artillery battery; afterwards he raised a batallion of artillery, and was made colonel of the artillery and was in command of a division of artillery. He went through to the end of the war, receiving only one slight flesh wound. After the war he went back to his home at Americus, and since has been engaged in cotton buying, railroading and other enterprises.*t His principal business has been that of cotton buying, and is now. He has always been prominent in the affairs of Americus, and helms always refused to run for office. He was a member of the state convention of 1805, j and mayor of Americus four years. He was strongly urged to become a candi date for the [legislature, prominent al- liacccmen being particularly anxious for him to do so. He and Ids colleague, Mr. McDonald, were elected by large major ities, though both had opposition. Hon. John A. McDonald, of Sumter, was born aud raised in that county. He is a farmer, one of the most successful in tbat part of the state. By his honest dealings, his generouM actions and clear head he commands the highest respect of the people, and often has he been urged to run for office. He always re fused, however, until the alliance nom inated him last year. Even then he ac cepted under protest. Ho is one of the soundest members of the house. on to life.

He stared wildly around, and his eyes looked like a madman's. Then he sat np in bed, clutched an imaginary sheet of paper, and gasped: “Tiffin: train five; engine seven-twen ty; prepdro to meet thy God." He sank back exhausted and fell into a quiet, easy sleep. When he awoke he was on a fair way to recovery, but by that time the news had reached the place that a terrible accident had happened: that No. 5 lmd collided with a freight; that engine 720 was a wreck, and that the engineer and fireman were dead. Charley Jenkins insists that he had a presentiment from heaven.— Cleveland Wor Id. A HOSPITAL CORPS To be Organized for the Second Georgia Regiment by Col. Wiley. There is a new feature in Georgia military. The Second Georgia Regiment is to have* a hospital corps. It is to bo or ganized at once and the movement is al ready well under way. An officer of the Americus Light In fantry toldja reporter what was said by Col. Wiley about it He says he expects to hare a hospital corps in the Second Georgia that will compare with any in the military of any state. This new feature was brought about by tho Chickamauga encampment and the great number on the sick list there at all times showed the urgent necessity of tbia* The surgeonB and hospital stewards were worn completely out with nursing and attending the sick, and more nurses were needed. Now, with a hospital corps m the regiment this difficulty will be met right there. It is of courso the duty of the corps to nurse the sick and in every way ren der assistance in the hospital work. The corps will drill without arms, but will have their tactics, the samo as the others. They will be designated by the red cross on the sleeve, and will be under command of the surgeon of the regiment and hls'oesistants. The red cross is recognized in tho armies of all countries as a safe-guard against danger.* No one wearing it on his sleeve will bo molested by the enemy. He can advanco on^thc field and care for and relieve the nick and he is not harmed. It is not*; known yet how many will coihpose the corps of tho .Second Geor gia, but a good many have applied for admission. The war department has already been conferred with and an an- awer is expected at once. Colonel Wiley expects to have tho corps organized and under a through oaurse of drilling within a very short time. Off for Augusta. The colored firemen leave to-day for Augusta, where they will participate iu the tournament to-morrow. Tho colored companies are hard workers when prop erty is threatened "by lire and they have many friends in Americus who will join in the hope that they may w in tho first prize in all the contests which they enter.

Dog stealers in Paris have two prin cipal means of getting hold of the ani mal they want First of all they find out the dog's habits, the liberty ho is al lowed, tho hoars that he takes un airing either alone Or with a servant, and make their arrangements accordingly. They sometimes prowl aronnd a houso for a week beforo obtaining all the informa tion they need. When they learn where they can meet the animal, they attract him by Some sort of bhit, or make him follow a bitch, which they lead with a string. Iu a narrow street it is easy to approach the dog and pat him. If he is not very savage, tho offer of something to eat ren ders him confiding; the thief, who has a slipnoose ready, passes it around the dog’s neck, and the game is bagged.

Albany in that state is the head quarters for them. One trapper there sends me from 50 to 100. mocking birds every week in crates. I forward nearly all of them to New York, exchanging tliem for other stock. Tho system of ex change is carried on to a great extent in the fancier’s bnsiness. Most of the stock that we get from boys is negotiated on that plan; so many rabbits make a squir rel, and so on. I do a considerable trade in peacocks, which customers who have country places buy for ornamental purposes. Farmers raise them in Maryland and Virginia. Goldfish are propagated by regular breeders in Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania, who send them to me in cans, but the fancy goldfish, with double tails, are imported from Japan to San Francisco and reshipped from that city. Those stuffed birds are pots. Their owners bring them here for the purpose; four legged beasts, too, of all sorts. A squirrel is one of the most difficult ani mals to stuff successfully. Food is an it^m in caring for such a menagerie as this; it costs me nearly $1,000 a year.— Interview in Washington Star. Talcing' a Girl's Ann. The young man who lifts his girl along by her elbow is to be seen every few yards on Broadway. Nor is this style of locomotion confine,] to any par ticular class. It is one of those fashions that occasionally starts up in the crude society of the couutry village, and, re versing the usual rule of social con tagion, spreads to the metropolis. Being simply a recorder and not an arbiter in such matters, I am not prepared to say that it is strictly fashionable in N.w York, much less proper or in good form.
