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 factory, and the west h- und overland train having arrived, they proceeded oo their way to Auburn in the smoking car.

Bill Arp on Babies. 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.

Yours Bill Am* 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.

DAWSOX GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JV,YE 27,1878, 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, Thirmasvilie, Ga. — Christum Ljder. 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.” Tt c.mt an lowa man seventy-five dollars for saying “st >n rev paper.” In consequence of its being stopped he t filed to learn of a debt cuent lax sale, at which iris own far m was sold, and it coat him seven’y-five dollars to get out of tho scrape.

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. Remember*. if thouait two lazy to think, thou wilt be two pour to know.
