BSACTY in a box.
Chinese Love That Did Not Run
Smooth-Mapping an Oriental
Belie a# Baggage
\V hen the lightning express trein
frjta this ci'y reached Reuo last even
ing the baggage was at once traus
terred fnm the Virginia and True
kee Kailrrad Company’s cars to those
ol the Contra! Pao fio liailroad Com
pany, which stood on the track in front
of Chamberlain's Hotel. A wooden
box, 16 inches high, 32 long and 22
wide, which had been checked to
lb nc, remained on the Virgiuia and
Triii kee car until the baggage had
been loaded on the Central Pacific
train, when the railroad hands re
turned, und no ono appearing to claim
the boy, it was carelessly thrown on
a truck and taken to the baggage
mom of the Virgiuia and Truckee
Railroad Company. There it was
tranefened to the care of A. J. Hart
ley, Siatiin Baggage Master of the
Central Pacific Railroad at Roue,
who stood it up on end and rolled it
oat to the Central Pacific baggage
room, about one hundred feet away.
There the box (which had been bang
ed about in the way for which fcag
gagesmashers are noted the world
over) was thrown on the scales and
its weight asceitained to be one hun
dred and thirty-two pounds. The
box having been stood on end on the
scales it was rolled off carelessly into
a corner, and the baggage master
turned to leave the room. As he did
so tie heard a faint moan proceeding
fiom the box. Thinking he must he
mistaken he listened far a moment
and heard another moan. This led
him to examine the box more closely
than before. He saw two round holes
es about three fourths of an inch in
diameter on one side an* two similar
holes at each end, while on another
side, on which there wore no holes,
chips of wood about a fourth of an
inch thick had been insert-id, evident
ly to keep the covet from closing tight.
Upon ascertaining these f cts Mr.
Hartley no 1 nger doubted that the
box contained a human being. Hart
ley at once Opened the box, when he
asceitained that the contents cons'st
ed of a very pretty young Chinese wo
man in an insensible condition, in
consequence of her having been stood
on her h“ad while the box was being
banged aboi t the depot. She had
a blanket with her, which was spread
on the floor, and she was put upon, it
when the col air soon revived her
but she refused to answer any ques
tion. The door of the baggage-room
having been left open to admit fresh
air, a Chinaman walked in, As soon
a? tlio woman set eyes on him her
face became wreathed in smiles and
she stepped forward as if to throw
herself in his arm?. The Chinaman,
however, took a step backward and
uttered a Ohinese word wlvch whs in
terpreted by those present as a warn
ing, It was evident that the two un
derstood eaffi other, and attemps were
made to engage them in conversation,
but they met with uo success. Ah
Jack, the Chinese interpreter, was
sent for, when the woman and man
told him their story without restraiut.
The woman said she was not yot eigh
teen years old and WU3 brought from
China about a year ago. A tew months
ago she came to this city and became
namored of Ah Kim, the young Cel
estial with her, who tried to purchase
her freedom from the agent of the
Sam “ing Comp any in this city. The
ageut demanded S3OO cash for the
girl, however, and her lover being
unat.le to pay that sum, she agreed
that she should be boxed up and ship
ped in the manner detailed abovo,
unknown to the Sam Sing Company ■
agent. Her destination was Auburn,
Cal . where one of her uncles owns a
small store, and the Chinaman want
ed the box checkid to that place, but
the Virginia and Truckee employes
in this city refused to check beyond
the end of their line, and when the
train r*ached Reno the lover was not
sufficiently up in the customs of the
road to have the box rechccked. This
explanation, which was made by Ah
Jack on behalf of Ah Kim and Youm,
the young woman, was deemed satis

Mr. Editor, pleasin’ the children
is about all the majority of mankind
are livin' for, though they don’t know
it; and if they did they woutdent ac
knowledge it It is emphatically tiro
great business of life. We look on
with wor der and amazement at the
busy crowds in a gieat city that are
ever g'in’ to and fro like a fiddler's
elbow, and eight or ton of ’em are
workin’and strugglin’ to please and
and maintain the ciiildrpo. It’s tho
excuse for all the chestin’ and stealin’
and lyin’ in ti e land, and in a heap
of such cases I drop tears enough on
the trig book to blot ’em out toiever
The trouble is Mr. E.litur, that most
people are always livin on a stain, try
in’ to do a iittlo too much for their
children, and scuffin’ against wind
j and tide to git just a cad of their
inabors. Horne ot ’em Won't let a ton
I year old boy go to meetin’ or to 8t n
-1 day school if he can’t fixup as fine
as other boys. They won’t let him
go barefooted nor wear a patch be
behind nor before nor ride bareback
nor go dirty, am! so tho dorm Stic pres
sure fur finery becomes tremendous 1
Jesso with bonne’s and parasols and
kid gloves and silk dres-es and chany
tvare and carpets and winder curtains
—and a thousand thin s that cost
money and run up ttie outgo a heap
bigger than the incurtr. Generally
.-peakin' this home presure ain’t a
noisy one, but on the country, is ver y
silent and sad—so sad that a body
would think there wassornebody dead
in the bouse, and so alter awhile sum
how or euinhow else the finery comes
and thus for awhile all is seieeu. —
But the collapse is shore to curn soon
er or latter, and-the children ain’t to
bame for it. Huurtimes when 1 rum
inate ti| on the meanness of mankind
I wish the children never got grown
for they dt n’t get mean or foo ish un
til they do Just thin* what a sweet
time of it old mother Eve and Mrs.
Commodore Noah and aunt Metliu--
lar had with 20 or 40 of ’em weirin’
bibs und aperus u- til they were f>o
years old, loggia’ along after their
daddies until tncy w-rt a hundred.—
I don’t tin ok old Father Woodruff
could have stood that. When a man
who ain’t no yeariin’ gits married,
and ten or a doz-u of‘cm cum right
strait along in a row, and by the time
be gets oi the piazza, tired and grun
ty, they begin to climb all over him
and under him and betwixt him ami
on rheJtiHck of his chair aud the top
ol his head, its a little more than his
Venerable nature cep stand On such
occasions, it ain’t to be wondered at
that he gently rliakcs bin.sell aloise
and exi.laur.B, "Lord have mercy up
on me.’’ But then, the like ot th.s
must bo endu-ed Its a part of be
bargin, implied if not expressed, as
the lawyeais say, and no man ought
to doge it Humor ’em, play boss
anil frolic with ’em, wan ’em, uudress
‘cm. tell ’em sttorics about Jack and
the bean stalk, and what you done
when you was a little boy, scratch
their backs and put ’< m to bed, aud
if they can’t sleep, get up with ’em
away in the night, and trot around in
yoi.r night-grown until they cars. Let
’em trot aftet you a hea) iu wek daps
and all Day ol a Sunday, and don’t
try to shirk off the trouble and the
responsibility on the good women who

The SevenTr.F.N-YKAr Locus.—The
seventeen-year locus have put in an
appearenco in Canton and vicinity,
and many fears are entertained con
cerning the damage they may do to
the trees, and the superstitions are
worried over the appearence of a let
ter “W” on their wings, tho sstns as
n 1861. In that year they appeared
in Union township, aud the wiiter re
membeie well how completely they
striped the trees and husoes of all
foliage, and also the much dreaded
“W” on their wings, which at that
time was Considered by many to be a
direct warning from the Creator of
the independent civil war; and some
people ara just wild enough to con
strue their appearence now, with f lat
same letter on their loeomo’ive appa
ratus, into a warning of approachit g
war; and the eeusatiou articles pub*
fished in the daily press of the couii
try, given g’owing accounts of the
warlike pienerations of the Commu
nists and the crazy antics of the
Democratic politicians in congress, ail
go to convince these light-headed per
sons that their superstitions views are
correct. The noise they made in 1861
was construed intothe word “Phararh”
and much talk wa* indulged in and
great misery uf mind created among

A Valuable Product.
A wonderful product, known as
beggars-weed, or begg rr3-iiee, h. s en
gaged the attention of agriculturist in
portioua of Florida and South?.eatern
Gdo’gia. Experiments made with
this plant are said to luive demonstat
eo its great value as a fertilizer of tho
soil, as pasturage and ns forage. It
is found, by analysis, to contain prop
erties which render it palatnble and
nutricious. Stock of every species
feed upon it in preference to any oth
er product, aDd fatten rapidly from
its use. Asa milk produoer it is said
te he superior to all other plants. It
grows luxuriantly on even ordinary
soil, reaching frequently to a height of
eight fee’, completely covering tho
land with dense shade. It grows so
rapid l ? that three fullcrops of hay are
frequ* ntly prsduced durinfi the same
season. When once set on land, there
is no necessity for resowing, or ro_
planting, exept in instances where
the object of culture is its extermina
ticn. Fmm eight.to ten thousand
pounds of hay at each cutting ate the
estimated produ-t of one acre sown in
this plant. It is indigenous to the
State of Florida, but those who hava
experimented with it in Georgia are
of the opinion that it will prove a suc
cess as lar North as Atlanta, and prob
ably may grow to perfection in any
portions of the State.
We nave seen reports, in detail, of
ruany experiments tirade with this
product, Htid must regard its introduc
tion into Georgia a subject of very
great importance —especially to tbut
section in which clover and the gra-s
--es will not prove successful. Gentle
meu ”1 undoubted veracity declare
that as a fertilizer and renovator of
poor o. exhausted soils it has no
equal, and that land woit.li will uot
produce five bushels of corn per acre,
will in two years aft' r the beggars
w-ed is first set Upon it, yie il four
times that quantity. If this lie cor
ree\ fi is an easy matter to infuse new
energy into the immense acreage of
the State which has been given up as
absolutely exhausted. Besides, it
may, in many ins ancos, be subsititut
ed tor the cnninieioia! fertiliz ■a ou
lands now in culiivat’on. thus ■ aving
annual outlays. Whenever a suffic
eney of land is possessed to allow a
portion to be devoted to pasturage,
this plant may be sown, and dr) its
work of recuperation in addition to
its iuimeftse contibutions in the way
of gt z tig and f;ag“.
Person lesirous of in f rrrrutioa on
this subject, or who may feel dispose'!
to give the plant a trial, may be nd
vi.-ed of its hate’s, its character, value,
etc.,and we presume obtain seed, by
addressing Captain E T. D.rv.s,

The Swainsboro Herald mentions
the following shocking affair which
lately occurred at Kea’s mill, Emanu
el county, and which has produced
considerable excitement in that neigh
borhood. It say*: “We have befors
staled that Mr. Burrell Kea’s mill
was burned a few days ago, and that
it was supposed to have been tired
by an incendiary. Considerable ex
citement was produced in the neigh*
Lot hoot], and the matter was much
talked ot, and doubtless many hard
things said pro and con. On Friday
morning Mr. B 0 Kca, son of Mr.
: Burrell Koa, was at the ruins, when
ihe was approached by Messrs. An- j
gus Durdet;, John Durden and Johu
Webb, who asked him if he had said
certain things in regard to the burn
[ ing. He denied if, when hot words
j ensued. Angus Durden finally struck
at Kea with a piece of iron. Kea
caught the blow on bis arm and cut
at Durden with his knife, striking
him in Iho breast near the arm-pit,
and severing the large muscle. Dur
den then commenced using his knife
upon Kea, his two friends coming to
his assistance. Kea seeing it wrs a
death struggle attempted to get away,
when he was pursued and stabbed
•wtee in the back ; one ol tho wounds,
it is believed, penetrating to the region
oi the heart, if not to that vital organ
itself. These are the facts as given
by a near neighbor, who came for
warrants on Saturday last. It was
feared that Kea will die. Angus
Durden was cut in the breast and
hand—the former wound being quite
evere. The difficulty securrei fi f
on milt’s from town.
Beheaded by His Wife-
Bdkkf.vilt.e, Ya., Juno 6.—A hur
rible affair occurred here tins morn
ing between Jennie Miller and her
husband, Anderson Miller, both re
spoctable people, Miller standing very
well among the citizens, and, until
hts marriage, being a very quiet and
peaceful young man. Abont two
years ago; against tho wishes and ad
vice of bis liiends and parents, he
married Jennie Tyler, u good-looking
girl, but possessing ft vicious temper
nd will of her own that gave indica
tions that she would mako her hus
band's home a hot place. At first
they seemed to bo leading a happy
married life, hut gradually the wife’s
temper manifested itself in various
ways, and to-day the con übial quar
rels culminated in the most awful
tragedy ever enacted in this part of
Virginia Tho husband and wife
wore seated at the breakfast tablo
with au invite-',guest, when the hus
band chanced to discover a fly in a
biscuit, or thought he saw one. Any
how’, ho said, “Jennie, you are a bad
cook U> iet flies gmt into the bread.” —
The w ife’s temper increased as she
spoke and finally site called her hus
band a liar. He remonstrated with
her fer uying such language in tire
prosenco of an invited guest. If airly
beside herso'f with rage, she caught
up anew ax which was lying on the
hearth-stone, and before the guest
could interfere, she had brained her
husbanl. When he fell to the floor
she brought the keen blade of the ax
down on bis neck, completely sever
ing the head from the body, tho h*’.id
rolling on towards the fire and the
body rolling under tiro table. Tho
vvreti.bed woman is in jail awaiting
trial, tbe magistrate having refused
bail.
Remarkable —We learn that in
digging the grave of Mrs. Smith it
became necessary to remove the re
mains of her little daughter buried
19 years ago. The body was inclos
ed in a heavy metalic case which was
in a good state of pr*servation, and
an remi ving the covetii go! the glass
to i. ok at the remains it was found
that the body of_the child wa- iu a
perfect state of preservation, the
clothing were as bright and as fresh
looking as when placed there 10 years
ago, aud the color ot theskin was un
changed. The case was not opened
aDd it la not known whether it was
petrified or not- The wooden bos
enclosing tbe case when buried had
entirely disappeared.— Etfuala Tunes
Tho Buena Vista Argus reMe i the
following strange account of sna.ro
charming:
"Mr. J S Rogers informs us that
while ho was feeding his stock, on
Sunday morning ol’the 2 l inn;, his
attention was-ttracted by a squirrel
on the ground whose strange actions
interested him. He approached near
and tlie squirrei apparently disregard
ed his approach. He soon discover
ed a rattlesnake about three and a
half Let long in front of the squirrel.
Ho watche! tho two awhile, and no
ticed that the ■ quirrel movpd n*>ar to
the snake. and nearer he
appr inched the snake, continuing its
strange action, until tho snake open
ed his mouth and seized hini. Alter
the snake had partly swallowed the
squirrel, Mr. Rogers seized a long pole
to kill him. The pole struck a liirb,
when tho snake threw the squirrel
from his month and jumped at Mr.
Rogers, ft distance of six or eight feet.
A second stroke killed tho snake, us
he was apparently prepa mg lor an
other leap.”

Struck hj a Swordfish.
The lookout of the Bounding Bil
low, a Gloucester niaekeral schooner
lying to about twenty miles off the
lightship, oatly nu Sunday morning
sighted twoj black objects seemingly
drilling logs, close upon the weather i
bow. These objects drifted nearer,
und then tho lookout earr that they
were monster swordfish, far cut of
their latitude. They wore basking
motionless in the sun. A boat was
lowered and was soon within a few |
lengths of the gwordfi-h. The liar-j
poonei hurled his harpoon with un-.
eering aim at tho smaller swordiLh.
The keen steel sank deep intuit* body.
With oko slap of its tail which ia much
like a three-bladed propeller tho
swordfish darted away, leaving awake
of fohtn. The harpooner’s lino
whized out from the boat, until thir
ty-five fathoms had gone. Then there
waa a sudden stap. Some of the
crew began tocortgratulatethernse!vea
on the death of the swordfish, hut the
hat poonei cried out: "Lookout" hes
coming 1”
The swordfish darted toward the
how of the boat direct. The crew
backed water, but utiavailingly. The
sword of the fish pierced tho thick
oaken plunking of the boat ?sthough
it was tissue paper, aud the boat 0.-
reer6d until water poured in. The har
roonor escaped by jumping baokwaid
With a hatchet he chopped off the
sword protruding through tho side,
and then he hacked th* fish uoti I it
(tied.
This flurry, stangely enough, had:
no. disturbed the other swordfish. —
The harpooner sent a harpoon well
home just behind its head, and after
darting about and churning the water,
into a great expance of fuatn, it,
died.
The awordfisti were sold to John B. ;
Lindt of Fulton Market. According!
to liis measurement tho largest sword
fish measured from tip of the sword :
to the extremity of the tail nearly
seventeen feet t e sword constituted
one forth of this length. It* weight
war 355 pounds. The smallest sword, j
fish was only a few inchesshorter and
a few pounds lighter.
An employee of Mr. Linch aaid j
that the presence of theswordfhh near
the eritrnnch of our hay is probably
an indicat.on that whales are not far
away, for the swordfLb is the natural
foe of the whale, and is probably the
ohly fi-lt that the whalo dreads. In
a duel cetween a whale and .. sword
fish, the result is almost always a
foregone conclusion in favor cl the
infer.
