The lymph formula of Dr. Koch has been made public. It is a sub¬ ject of much discussion among the French and German scientists whether the new remedy is bene¬ ficial or harmful. Jack Dempsey, the prize fighter, is no longer a “nonpareil.” Orleans He was knocked out at New last Wednesday by a sptdcr-legged New Zealander, Bob Fitzsimmons, who is perhaps the best middle¬ weight in the pugilistic world. The Gold Mountain and Crown Mountain mining companies, of Dahlonega, have decided to estab¬ lish an assay office at that place. The office will be in charge of an expert chemixt. Atlanta will likely have the op¬ portunity of witnessing another walking match soon. A walker by the name of Lucas talks like he is able to show his back to A!f Prater, the “Mountain Wonder,” and of course Prater will him. Last year was and a pretty good one for defaulters embezzlers. Ac¬ cording to the Chicago Tribune the stealing amounted to £8,622,- ^56. In 1880, however, the steal¬ ings were only £22,956 less. Penn¬ sylvania led all the other states in the amount which her theives got away with. The total sum of their stealings was £2,326,837. New York was next to Pennsylvania in the sum lost through defalcations and embezzlements. She figures in the list with £1,929,270. The Missouri and Illinois embezzlers got their hands pretty deep into othci people’s pockets. In the first named state their stealings amounted to £595,304, and in the second named to £406,738. In Utah only £1,000 was lost through embezzlements and defalcations. OH! HOI) SAD! “Thers tre msn who tike a par¬ ticular, I might almost say a mali¬ cious delight in getting men drunk,” said a gentleman to a Times repor¬ ter this morning. “I never helped to get but oae ni3n intoxicated, and I shall regret my part in that dis¬ graceful act to my last day.” “Why «•?” inquired a lriend. “In the first place, because of the run it wrought; in the second place, because of its coatemptib’s inertness. It was this: A friend of mine, a young man of groat promise, had given up drinking, which was fast wracking the hopes his friends had felt for his future, in order to settle down in business and prepare for marriage, lie abstained from liquor for nearly a year, and then, satisfied that he had reformed, the young wo¬ man be loved became his wife. 1 was present at the wedding and I can truthfully say that I never saw and never expect to see a happier couple or oue that began married life under brighter auspices. Ills business was flourishing and they took possession of a beatiful little home at ouce. All went well for several wesks. One night I, and a number of others, met him on Brought on street. We were in a particularly good humor—in fact we had drank just enogh to make iiw feei jolly, lie refused persistently te take anything for aw hile but at last yielded to our continued solicitations. At first he called for sarsaparilla. We laughed at that and when the whiskey was handed down poured him out a good drink. He fumbled with the glass for awhile hut his courage gave way before out sneer¬ ing witticisms and he drank it down. Then ho tried to break away, We were in for a night of fun, though, and didn’t propose to allow him t# escape so easily. It was hard work, but not quite so difficult as at first, | hut wo finalh % trot the second drink I • in him. I he lest was easy work., \V hen the wluksy began to make ! his veins tingle, tire old impulse came I back and he was one of the boys. “I don't know how much we drank. When midnight came we were all in a decidedly mellow con¬ dition, and he, poor fellow, was gib¬ bering away as oolishly as an ape. Kvcn then I felt some compunction and resistedjtlio resolution to take him home and prop him in the door¬ way. i wanted to sober ^him us at hotel. The others tinally persuaded me to accept their plan. We reach his home early in the morning. There was a light in the parlor, and drunk as I was, I felt my heart' growing heavy as I thought of the young wife whose face had so far had no shadow cast upon it. I knew what a terrible shock the full reali¬ zation of her husband’s condition would be to her. There was no turning hack now though. Steady¬ ing ourseves up we held him and rang the door bell. In a moment the door opened, She must have heard our approaching footsteps. I have never forgotten the awful look of anguish in her eyes. A great sigh escaped from tier, her teeth bit down on her lips until it seemed as if they would cut them through and through. Every bit of the bravado of the crowd was gone now. No one said a world except her husband, and he, poor fellow, looked uj> at her w ith the joyes of a fool and mur¬ mured, ,IIow-de sweetheart.’ I “don’t know how we did it, but we carried him in and placed him on a loung. Then we silently tiled out with unsteady steps. Not a word was said. Lwas tbs last one to leave, as I turned to close the door I saw her fall on her knees by his side. Iler body was cenvulscd with sobs and, as I shut husband aid wife from sight her face was on his, her arm beneat h his nock, and tears were bathing the fevered countenance. ’Then I knew that I had helped to almots break a pure, and loving, faithful heart.” “Is that all?” asked the reporter. “No; I wish it were. He never re¬ coved from that night, He made an effort, I believe, but some one else iu the guise of man but with the soul of a devil, tempted him again. His business went by the board, and at last fever, contracted while drunk, carried him off. I never saw his wife but once after that night, and that was when she wept over the open grave in widow's weeds. She left Savannah and went to the north, 1 believe.” He drank down a glass of sherry, wiped his lips, and as be started, said: “Now, you know why I nevi r ask a man to drink. I reserve tie persoual right to drink and get drunk if I choose, but I hold that I have no right to induce others to do like¬ wise.”—Savannah Times. Whtm .too reel High.

IiwtSmtAnphlw^f fc Sums Thrilling O*- scribed by an Insane Woman./ One of the brightest lunatics that ever lingered in the shadow of grim prison walls is the female who now occupies a front room at the Shelby countvtojail. ‘fighty With perhaps the exception of remark occasionally, and now aq<l then a silly hilarious outburst, there is both- ing in the demeanor of Annio P. Hud¬ son that indicates a disturbed reason. She is a woman of culturo, and con¬ verses with a degree of intelligence that is worthy of women of sounder mind and of higher station in life. But not only do °* tho woman exhibit her intel- lcctnal a<lvantage in conversation, but with the pen—alas! perhaps the secret of apparent insanity—she Ls graphic and picturesque. amused * Since her incarceration she has herself by writing tho history of her life in several chapters, and in this work she has displayed a familiarity with one of the finest arts. Sho paints an ocean scene with an ease of beauty that rivals the pen of Dickens in description. After dealing separately with tho characters on board of a certain ship, by way of preface the insane writer tuAs her pen to the captain of the vessel: <s “Glancing to the west the captain dis¬ covered a small cloud scudding in a north westerly direction. Danger is upon the ship, and suddenly a pall of-gloom hovers around the crew, tho lightning flushes and the thunder roars, and the mad waves lock arms in fury, bursting and splashing against the ship, which trembles at tho anger of the storm.” Following this is a description of a collision between two ships at sea in the darkness, when “two powerful engines melt at tho demon’s feet,” and timbers “crash and fall” and “the wind moans with the terrible echo of screams.” One of tho ill fated vessels sinks while it is yet blazing, and many people go down into tho sea, among the fated a young married couple on a bridal tour. When the last portion of the ship waa seen to dip iu tho water tho couple conld be plainly seen, their arms wrapped around each other, wliiio the “scorching flames about them crackled and licked madly at their lives.” Down they wont together on their bridal tour, which was, perhaps, longer than anticipated. Then comes tho morn¬ ing after “the terrible storm, when the sun, creeping np tho eastern slope like a huge ball of firo, to dawn upon the charred and blackened timbers of the ill fated ship as they dance along on the surface of the now calm ocean.” These are only a few extracts from one of the moat interesting chapters of the story. The story is full of sorrow and bustles with a peculiar iu torest,—klemohisDem- ■ ocr t . " ’ lie Piled Stance far Recreation. The cairn, or stone monument, in the oontril , part of , Middlesex ,,, _ Fa-la, ,, was built by a young man who wanted out of door exercise, fresh air 'and occupa- tion. I think that it was beady ten years ago that I noticed about a tip cart load of rocks deposited on tho spot. That was tiie beginning. Tho pile grew year by year, and wan quite regular in shape, round and conical, broad at the base, with steps laid on the outer edge. I met the builder on the spot one winter day six or seven years ago. Wo had quite a chat, and ho gave me the above reason for the work. At first he added to the pile quite fast, but as I 10 advanced, the stones had to be gathered from greater distances and the work was slow. lie did not mind that, as it was the occupation ho wanted. Others may havo added stones to the pile, but he was the originator and mas- ter workman. Who he was I knew; possibly ho may tell us about it, but I think it doubtful. I have not mot him since, but the monument continued to grow for a number of years after our meeting. Now it has no regular form, being simply a rude pile of rocks. Visitors clamber up on it, and possibly boys have tumbled it out of shape.-Cor. Boston Transcript. A Wator Hallway.
