TWO JOURNEYS. We bade a sad farewell to her Who started out one day, A sad faced little sufferer, But seeming glad aud gay. She left our rugged sea lands here, Where baneful breezes blow, And sought new health, new life, new cheer, Where summer flowers grow. A smile around her pale face played, A light beamed in her eyes; She seemed a heaven born angel, strayed Awhile from out the skies. We bade her God speed and farewell, With trembling lip, and eye O’erflowed with tears. Ah,who could tell "Twas not our last good-bye? - * * * * And now our darling has come home, With us awhile to bide, And then once more prepare to roam To shores afar, untried. And now we speak in tones subdued, And unchecked tears fast low; And forms in prayerful attitude Are bent in sorrow low. Once more her burdens she will take, And go where angels lead, A long, long journey she will make— And now, once more, God speed. The Georgia Cracker. The Georgia Cracker was shrewed, but full cf priuciple. He could coin money out of the sunshine and tan riches from tke fur of the gopher.— He was not melancholy or Bourbon-~ ish—but tull of the now. He didn’t watch hix roof thatch rot like the Ar kansas settler—he went to work his lands with or without slaves, His first charter probibited serflom as it barred cutrum. He took his horn on Michaelmas with the lordly air of a Peter Stuyvesant, and kept the pledze all the rest of the year with the stern stoicism of a Spartan. He worshipded Andrew Jackson'and be lieved in Troup. Hesided with Joe Brown “‘agin the banks." He was a Democrat by conviction—a Whig | only by perversion. He regarded Henry Clay’s party as an aristocra ‘tic concern. He boycotted LaFatte for meddling with our tstitutions, just as he snubbed Jay Gould when ‘ he rode t hrough the South n his pals ace car. Troup wasa Georgia **Crack - !er," $0 was Alex Stephens, with his pale face and hiight eye; so was Ben Hill, as he lefc the plow handles in ‘Jasper county to go to the staie university; 8o was Sam Thurmond, of Watkinsville, as he sturdily fed the forge with one hand and turved the pages of Blackstone with the other; so we are all Georgia “Cr.ickers"—de scendants of God's people—the plain yeomanry of an empire, the thriftiest, Sherman cut a swath forty miles wide 300 miles right in the heart and homes of the Georgia cracker. One hundred millions of property was wip eds out in eight months. Now the whole state from Dalton to Waycross blossorus like a rose. Iron and coal and grauite are quarried trom the base of the Ken. nesaw, and the railroad, which have given us Cordele, and Awmericus, and Bronswick, have ligated the last wounds of war, France has not leap vd into luxurfance more swiftly than South Georgia from pillage and de vastation. Look what the Georgia crackerisdoing! There is one million of him. Heis at work. His chil~ dren are at school. He lives well, reads the papers and thinks for him self. He is building an empire. There is nothing half so sweet to him as the red hills of Georgia. TLong may he live! May his tribeincrease and his shadow uvever grow less!--Editor Pleasant Stoval in Augusta Chronis cle. Buried Gold. Did you ever stop to think what gold mines our cemeteries are? Well, probably you have not, but neverthe less they contain a great amount of gold. A Fiench statistician, who has given this matter much thought, has writen an urticle on this subjeet. . His name is Mennier. His estinate is that the consumption of gold for purs ‘poses of dimittry in the United States amounts anunually to 1,800 pounds, Of this great amount, by far the lar ger part is lost in the cemeteries afterit is served its useful purpose iu life. In some instances a larger amount is us ed than in othergin filled teeth, and any dentist will tell you that the con» sumption of gold in this manner is great. Minner, after a careful esti mate, declares that a century hence American cemeteries will contain much more gold than now exists in Franca, Itwill be seen, then, that our cemeleries &re fast becoming val uable gold mines. 1 bttt Mejrt Wins We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con sumption, Dr, King’s New Lite Pills, Buc{dine Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters; and have pever handled rem= edies that sells a 8 weil or that have given guch unversal sutigfaction.

A FEW INTERESRING CASES—A MAIL THIEF IS ALMOST SURE TO BE CAUGHT —A THIEVING RODENT, Around the walls of the government building, if one will look closely, he will observe what appears as registers, high up near the ceiling. They are innocent looking enough to distract the snspicions of the most wily theif. But every day, behind one of these iron gratings, there may be found a post-office inspector, in tently watching the actions of the clerks, either in the main distributing room or in the register or money order depart ments. Should there happen to be any complaint of missing mail there is a seury rying in the inspection department and every man on the staff is put on to test his mettle with the case which confronts the department, And the wonder is that nine times out of ten, the case is worked to a successful conclusion and the guilty person convicted of the henious crime of tampering with Uncle Sam’s mail, ' “We get some pretty tough cases,’” | said an old inspector, yesterday, “but it has been my fortune to run down every one on which I was set to work,"” “What was the most difficult case you ever had?'" asked the reporter, “It happened while I was stationed at Utica, N. Y., about seven years ago," re plied the inspector. ‘‘Many letters con taining valuables had ,been missed, and by dint of hard work we managed to trace the job down to one clerk, a shav ed-faced young fellow, of about 22 years of age. Hewas a clerk who eistributed the lstters into the boxes of the cariiers. As I said, we managed to get this far on and then [setmy trap. I had a decoy letter, containing a $2O gold piece, mail ed from a country town In Connecticut to a prominent stove dealer in Utica. The letter failed to reach the carrier prompt ly, and I felt we had :our man solid at last, “I waited for him wuntil the dinner hour, and and as he was leaving the of fice accostedhim. He came with me, and look as closely as I might I failed to detect any uneasiness in his features; they were perfectly immobile. He walk ed with me into the offige of the post master and submitted to a thorough search, but no trace of the letter or 20 gold piece was found on his person. To say I was dumfounded is drawing it mildly. He appeared to be very indig nant, But whether I was right or wrong at the time,the petty;robberies came to a sudden stop. No more complaints were heard for a month, Then they began again. This time I was bound I would I would not fail, so I set a closs watch on my man, One day when I was about to give up the case in despair, I noticed the fellow ‘caring up an envelope and | dropping it on the floor. When he had I it. I was disheartened when I saw that , the envelope had been addressed to him- | self, I was about to walk away when a ' sudden idea struck me, | “I came down the next morning before | the young clerk came to work, and sta- | tioned myself behind a letter rack, free from observation, but in such a position that I could see the fellow's every action I saw him take several stamped and addressed-envelopes from his pocket ! and walk over to the stamping table and } cancel the stamps. During the course of the morning I saw the fellow slip four ‘ Jetfers inside of as many envelopes and seal the envelopes. Then I knew my | suspicions were correct, Iwent to the carrier who carried the letters to the young man's home and secured the four letters addressed to the fellow himself, ¢ “Have you carrisd many letters like this?” T asked him, | ¢ ¢Yes sir,” the carrier said, ‘I carry four or five a day.’ “I then called the fellow into my office and told him that we had determined to have themail of the clerks delivered at ‘the office to lighten the duties of the carriers. Ithen told him I had four letters for him aud handed him the mis sives I had received from the postman. The fellow turned pale and was on the verge of fainting when I asked him to open and read the letters in my presence With trembling hands he did so, and in side the envelope, addressed to himself I found four valuable letters addressed to a large wholesale house. He broke down and confessed that he had been stealing for about six months, and that during that period he had abstracted nearly #1,500 from business letters. He had speut the money in gambling, “The hardest case I ever had to work | on,” broke in another inspector, ‘‘turn-| ed out to be no case at all. It was in a| small town in Ohio a few months ago. ' From this town had come numerocus complaints of missing mail, valuable and } valueless pieces disappearing regularly. 1 was sent down to work the matter up- I worked as hard as I could and failed to detect any guilty person among the several employed in the office. As a last resort I determined to spend one night in the office, It proved to be a very suc cessful night. Shortly before midnight 1 heard a scratching in the lower letter hoxes and carefully began ta investigate, I opened a drawer and out jumped a big rat. I watched him disappear through a hole and then went home, Next day the floor was torn up, and in that rat’'s hole we found scraps of papers checks and currency, all used as a soft, downy bed fo;"the family of rodents, It was a blessing for tnat town, as a new post-of fice wassecured at once,” “One time,"" said another inspector, "1 ) was fooled by a pair of high-topped boots, | Many letters had been missing from | the trains running between Cincinnati | and New York. By means of decoy let- | ters I traced the robberies down to a rail-‘ way mail clerk, but was unable to cateh | | him ina theft for a leng time. After many letters had disappeared, I got mad one wet night,and just as the clerk step ped from his car I placed him under tar rest. Jhe truth of themuiter was that I really had no grouns on which to arrest him, so I took hiza to ahotel and rented one room for both of us. A nice grate five was made iy the room and I took off, my shoes to dry my feet in the grateful warmth. My prisoner remained quiet until I requested him to remove his big ‘boots and feel more comfortab'e. _ “Then he began to fidget uneasily and I grew surpicious. With a rush and a jerk, I pulled off one of his boots, and oukdropped three letters. The other bot yielded up half a dozen. Never un tiiothat moment had I had the least sus pi tion of those clumsy, big boots, and were not for the lucky grate fire I should probably have been unable to convict my man"'- -Cincinnati Times. A German Suicide Clab. Robert Louis Stevenson the famous, novelist, author of Dr. Jekil and Mr, Hyde, once wrote a serio-comic sketch describing an organization of morose beings who styled themselves the “‘suicide club,” und whose elegibility to membership preseribed that each member was to die by his own hand, upon a fixed day of tie year, the per-+ son and place of tragedy to be desig nated by a monthly drawing of lots, Little did Mr. Stevenson think when he peuned his half satirical sketch that the Ideas he therein set forth ' would one day find emulation among 'a hody of perfectly sane men. That such is the case, however, is attested by the fact that one Wendell Baum was until a few weeks ago the secreta ry of u unique organization actually called the Suicide Club, and fulfilled the conditions of his membership on Easter Monday last, committing felo~ dewse. Here isa Lricf history ot this truly novel cluo: = Four years ago five citizens of Ger man birth met on Eister Monday, and feeling low-spirited, owing to mengre wages and consequent insufa ficiency of beer, they agreed, halt in jest, to form themselves into a club ‘or the purpose ot comniitting sui cide, one each vear. I: was decided thay lots should Ho drawn there and then for the victim ot the following Euster Monday, avd a man named Schwartzenheim drew the fatal bean. He lived for his year without ans outward signs ot disterbance at hi tpproaching doom, and on the Baster doncay suececding the club’s forms don fonr memhers, meeting in the room above their avoite tavern, were eneh in receipt of ateleoram tha Schwartzenhiem had cut his throat. ['l'he club drank to his memory, and [lht- next lot was taken, the victim killing hineelt in due course on the Ilollm\ing Euster Monday. Lust year member no. 3 cur Lis throat, and yesterday the president received a note from W endell Baum's landlady :’:H;'":;)kr?lll)‘gr“]l;!‘tl.'"ulx'x'u"'zal“&:wﬂlm'l‘fm")" money will be wazered as to whether he will kill himzelf or not, next East~ er Monday. The general opinion is that he will unless the authorities in-- terfere and put him under restraint. KMaple Sugar. ‘ In a paper read before the Ameri can Association on “The Tudian Ori- | gin of Maple Sugar,” by Mr, Heunry | W. Henshaw, of Washington, the point was as to whether the Indians learned to make sugar of the whites, or vice versa. The argument drawn trom the maple tree testivals and lins guistic evidence showed the red men were in no way indebted to the white es for sugar, no more than for the cul tivation of eorn, the pumpkin, bean, and tobaco. Their simple process was aboriginal, resulting trom their own obseryation and . inventive powers. They collect the sap in birch.bark vessels. These hold in some cases a hundred gallons. They take advan~ tage of cold April nights to freeze the sap, and in the morning§throw out theice. They evaporate it by throw iiug hot stones into the reservoirs of sap. The suzaris caten mixed with ‘corn. Sometimes the pure sugar is their ouly diet for a month. They 'lboil venison and rabbits in the hot sap a 8 they evaporateit. They also make |sugar from the silver maple and box ‘elder. That the Indians made sugar | from times unknown is proved by 4their language, their festivals, and | their traditions. Several authors of ’ear]y times, telling of their visits to the Indiuns mention maple sugar, and one of them in 1755, describes the Indiang’ mode of preparing it. The gathering of sap and making of suga | tormed one of their annual reli.ious ceremonjes.—Scientific American. s A Safe !nvestment Is one which is guaranteed to bring you satigfactory results, or in cise of failure a return ot puichase price.

A DEAD MAN'S EYES, Why a Chicago Man Became Generous to Tramps. “That man didn’t usk you for any~ thing," T said to my ( hicago friend, as we stood in frout of the Tremont House one day and he sliped a quarter to a hardsup looking man who came_ to a halt beside us, ‘No.! ' ‘Do you know him? ‘No.\ | ‘Then that's your way, is it, to Poss out quarters to everyone who |seems to be broke?' ‘Let me tell you something,’ he said, as we moved back a little further out of the way ot pedestrains. ‘I made a bad mistake once, and I'm taking this way to get even with my conscience.’ | ‘Well? ‘I was ia St. Louis on business, It was winter, and you know how cold that town can be when it tries hurd, I was out on the street at 11 o’clock one bitter night when a chap struck me fora dime, He was poorly clad, looked hungry and sick, and I ought to haved handed out the money at once. I was just brate enough not to doit. He followed me a hundred feet, hegging and pleading, and I fin ally threatened to have him arrested, He turned away with a sob in his| throat, and I went on to the hotel.

The clergyman ap plied to a firm in London, and asked to be supplied at the lowest (church) rates. The firm replied that on cons dition the hymusbooks contained cer~ ain advertisements, the congregation thould have them for nothing. Nes cessity knows no aw, and the minister sorrowfully complied, thinking to himselt that when the advertisements came they could be removed from theJeaves, The hymn books arrived and—joy of joys—they contained no interleaved advertisements. At the thanksgiving servicethe g(md} parson joyously ‘gave out the Christmas hyow, and the congregu: tion sang the first verse with fervor.

Collier. She was a 6 obedient and dutitul daughter, a loving and devoted wife, and kind and aftectionste mother. She was loved, and will be long remembered by all those who best knew her., She was born Aug, 31, 1846, and was therefore at the time of her death 44 years 7Tmonths and 5 days old. Her tather who was a pure and noble old gentleman, together with several others of the family, have preceded her to the grave. She has gone to join them. ‘ She leaves here a husband, three little children, a good old mother, two brothers and two sisters, together with a hest ot friends and relatives to mourn herloss. May her sweet, pure christian life be a sign post to guide | others in the path of life. She was a member of the Methodist church here, and her remains were interred in the churchyard cemetary on the day following her death, with im pressive ceremonies condueted by the the pastor, Rev, Mr. Allison. ‘‘Blessa ed are the dead who die in the Lord, from hencelorth; yea, saith the Spirit that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them.’ Rest on, Miss Jennie, till God shall bid you rise.
