Mrs. Johnson’s Mistake.
My friend Johnson has an ogtablisb
inent for tho manufacture of jewelry
j and silver-ware in Boston. Somo
I t>me ngo he sold a bill of goods in
Augusta Me. About a month after
his partner was ou a visit to Bangor,
and while there Johnson wrote to him
to this effect:
‘‘l have heard nothing of that jew
elry I sent to Augusta, If you are
around that way stop and inquire if
it was received all right.”
lie put tho letter in his pocket and
forgot to mail it. Next day he left
the coat at home, and Mrs. Johnson,
as usual, wout through the pockets,
and she foun ’ the letter. When
Johnson came home that afternoon
and opened the front door, he was
amazed to see Mrs- Johnson with her
bonnet on and an umbrella and band
box in her band, sitting in the hall on
a irunk, looking ns if sbo had about
twelve hundred pounds pressure of
rage to the square inch. H e said :
“Why, Emeline, what on earth are
you doing?”
“I’m waiting for a tab to take mo
to my mother’s, you brute!”
“To yonr mother’s? V\ hy, what’ g
the matter ?”
“Matter—mutter? You know very-
what’a the matter, you wretch
’it not live with you another hour!
Oh, don’t talk to me, if you please!
Go and talk to Augusta—go and
talk to her if you are so very fond o
her. I havp done with you new, for
good. This winds you up with me!”
“What do you meau, auyuow ?
You are behaving ridiculously,” said
her husband,
“I know I am! Abuse me! Keep
on abusing met Knock uiedcwu and
stamp me! Augus a’il like it, 1 dare
say! 1 wish 1 badherhere now, the
wretch ! I would give tier a taste of
this umbrella? I would scratch her
eyes out?”
“Really, Emeline, this is the most
extraordinary conduct Will you tell
uts, my dear —”
“Oh, don’t dear ute, if you please ?
Save your rubbishing sweetness for
her. It’s too late to soft solder tue.
I’m going home to met be:'s. You
can’t give me clothes to be decent, hut
Augusta gets all site wants, of course-
I cat; go slouching around tilts boute
in an old calico dress, but Augueta, I
dare ay, has her silks anti saciua. I
cannot got a decent breast-pin, but
you can give Augusta a curt load of
’em. it’s infamous '?’*
“Emeline !”
“Well, what?”
“Did you read the letter I left in
my coat yesterday?”
“Yes, 1 did, aDd that’s the way I
discovered your villiauy.”
“Emetine !”
“Well, waat d’you want?”
“That tetter relettod to tome jewel
ty I sold to a man iu Augusta,Maine,
Emeline.”
“Well”
“You’ve been making a fool of your*
sell.” .
“Was it really Augusta, Maine ?
Oh, William 1 I’m altaid—bou-bwo !
boo-boo!”
Here Mrs. Johnson broke down
and wept prolusoiy over the lid ol the
bund-box, aud Johnson put her um
brella geutly in the rack and carried
her trunk up stairs, while she gave
play to her feelings. She didn’t go
home to her mottior. But that night
she fixed a dozen of Johnson s shuts
that he bad been trying in vaiu for a
month to induce her to repair.
There are snake-charming stories
and snake-charming stories, hut the
fojlowiug, from the Lake City Report
er, tops tnem all:
“Wr learn that naar the plantation
of M'. Turner a most singular scene
occurred —the charming of a ihirteeu
loot alligator by a rattlesnake. It
appears that his snakesbip first saw
the ’gator, and, beating the roll-call
with his rattieg, he attracted the lat
ter’a attention. Then began the
! charming process, which lasted tuny
j half au nour. The gator atfirtU turned
j nis head twice or thrice, but was im
i mediately called to order by the rattle
jot the suakes. Xoward tne end oi
j t he halt hour, with fixed eyes, the al
| boater moved slowly towards his ter
rible euetny until within striking dis
tauce, when the snake curled himsell
more compactly, and with ail tue
btrei'gtti lie could jDUdtor, struck the
i ail gator. For a moment the alliga
j tor shook tremulously, and then, ss it
! by magic, made a semi circling back
ward movement peculiar to their ga
te ships, and brought his tatl dowu
upon the would-be assassin with a ie
sult fatal to nerves of tbe rat-ler. Uur
lutoruiani then dispatched ihe gator,
and found no trace of the snakes

A STRANGE DEATH.
A Man Frozen to Death with
the Thermometer at Nine
ty Degrees.
Mr. James Knox, a young man of
the eastern part of this county, has
been strangely affl.cted for about a
year. Hot or cold, he was always
allotted as freezing to death. His
case hits been examined by several
skibful physicians, and, we understand
| has puzzled them all. Ho was con
tinually using all tho devices to warm
himself that a ntan might who had
been chilled hy exposure to extreme
cold, sitting around rousing fitos en
veloped in blankets and the house
closely shut up, and this though the
weather was at summer heat. It is
said that he would sit by the fire and j
bold bis bead down to it and almost I
roast it in the effort to warm. It is i
a fact that he put cloths on his head i
tc protect the scalp from actual burn
ing while doing thus, and ’he cloths
have actually been set on fire by the
heat he subjected them to iu endeav
oring to warm Ids head. Bom9 time
ago he made a visit to Livingston iu
the hope of being benefited by the
attesian water, when Dr. Webb of
thnt town saw his case. Latcdy he
had determined to return to Living
ston and try again the waters, and
again consulted Dr. Webb, going to
his office for that purpose. Beseem
ed as one suffering with extreme cold,
and asked Dr Webb if be had any
fire in his office He told him that
he did not, and that it was too hot to
have a fire and be comfortable. lie
said be could not stand it aud rau

Jonesboro, June 25.— 0n yesterday

Jonesboro, near Morrow’s station, ip
Clayton county, Mr, John Lambert.
STABBED AND KILLED HIS BROTHER.
Mr. Win. P. Lambert: The follow

had been at work, to the house of
bis father, Mr. Harrp Lambert, and
found his brother, John Lambert,
there, and remarked to him that he
(John Lambert) was
THE LAZIEST MAN
in Clayton county. John replied that
ha could or would show him that he
was the best man in ’he county and
made at his brother (Wm. P Lambert)
with a pocket knife, inflicting a fatal
wound just below thoTeft nipple from
which he
DIED LAST NIGHT

caased carefully avoided any
MEMION OF THE DIFFICULTY
or its cause, although Le talked freely
about other matters to bisfrieods, and
said that he would surely die of his
wound. The s ayer eoutende t at he
did the deed in
A TLAY OB TUSBEL

matter. We are informed by.the at

Language of the Hair.
All of our features have their lan
guage —eyes, nos-* and_mouth. And
now someone discovers that even the
hair has its own indications.
Straight, lank, stingy lookieg hair
indicates weakness and cowardice,
Curley hair denotes a quick tem
per.
Frizzy hair, set on ones head as
if each individual hair was ready to
fight its neighbor, denotes coarse-
ness.
Black hair iodica'es pe.sistent reso
lution in accomplishing an object—
also a strong predisposition to revenge
wrong and insults real or fancied.
Brown hair denotes fondness for
life a friendly disposition ambition,
earnestness of purpose, sagacity for
business, r-liability in friendship, in
proportion as the hair is fine.
Very fine bir indicates an even
disposition readiness to forgive,
with a desire to add to the hapiness
of others.
Persons with light brown or an-j
burn hair, inclined to curl or friz are j
quick tempered, and are given to re
sentment revenge.
Light brown hair, inclined to red
ness, with a freckled skin, is said to
be i certain indication of deceit, treach
ery and a disposition to do something
mean by a frieud who can no longer
be used to advantage.
All of which may be news to for
tune-tellers.

Gcne/aJ Jackson’s Idea of Mar
riage.
One of the eight marriages which
have taken placeiu th 9 White House
was that of Miss Easton, of Tennessee
General Jackson’a uioce, to Mr. Polk,
ot .he same State, a kinsman ot Pres
ident Po‘k. The lady was to have
married Lieutenant Boltoa Finch, of
! the uavy, an Englishman by birth,
who in 1833 had his name changed
iby Congress to Bolton, and died in
11819 as Commodore William Comp
j ion Bolton. He was >D9 of the teaux
jot the time, of whom one atory runs
| tit at bo was an heir to largo estates
jin England. Cap’ain Finch had been
engaged to marry several women be
-1 fore Miss Easten accepted him. The
'day was fixed, the guests were invit
ed, when suddenly Miss Etsten drop
ped him and married Mr. Polk, who
had posted ftom Tennessee with his
coach and four in thestatel-est South
ern style to make a last appeal. Tra
dition lays the change to General
Jackson’s advice: “Taka earn, my
dear ; with love utariiage is heaven,
without it hell.” Cuptaiu Bolton con
soled himsslf with Miss Lynch, of
New York, a daughter cf tho well
known Dominick Lynch and a sister
of Mrs Admiral Wilkes aud of Mis
Julius Pringle.
About the ?neatest case of tliiei
catching we ever read of is told in tho
Newman Herald as follows: “Eli
Johnson, ootored, stepped into Capt.
Andersou’s office the other day, aud
seeing a pair of handcuffs on the ta
ble said he never did understand how
dem things worked and Would like to
know. The Captain very politely :o!d
him that if he would hold out his
bands he would show him, to which
the colored troop readily consented:
aud th 6 Captain, after fastening them
and asking him how he liked ti e fit,
said I will now cairy you to jail.’
The boy was somewhat surprised and
wanted to know what for, wheieupou
Capr. A. took out a warrant, which he
had lud for over a year, for the ai
rest of this same boy—he having
been charged with stealing btick II
said he thought that thing had died
out long ago or ho never would have
come about there.”
A minister was riding through a

Suddenly I woke up, all of a fright

feble, sir, and seemed not to get its
breath easy at all.” Little Mary had
caught her mothers, dress and was
looking up with laughing brown eyes
and cheeks all dimpled. “My little
girl had her fat little arm across
baby’s mouth when I caaght
her away. Then I sent for a doctor,
hut the wee thing was gone before
