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 strike—he had missed his mark the snake measured six leaf, ad l,a nine ratties and one button. 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 out of the office into the street tor the benefitoi the sunshine to warm himself. The uext day Dr. Webb had him in his office again to make a more critical examination ot his case, and bad him * iousing.fire. A MONSTER CAVE.

GhKAT EXCITEMENT ptevails over thievery important dis covery. Mr. E. Mortmoro, of Chest nut street, Louisville, Ky., puicliased three of the mummies and has th- m now m his possession. Major George M. Prootor, ol Glasgow Junction, Ky., purchased the remainder of the mum mies from THE OWNKB OF THE CAVE, whose name is Thomas Kelly. He is, or rather was a few days ago, a very poor man. struggling to make a payment on a farm of twenty four acres. Upon which, bymereaccidert, the entrauce to the wonderful cave was discovered. From the Woman’s Journal. “No man will ever prosper who has the curseof a ruined woman upon him Tl.e murderer of the body can be tried and executed by the world’s laws but the murderer of the soul is tried by heaven's law and thn execution l is as sure as device justice. ’ Aunt I>et9y said this as she folded the i white hands of a beautiful girl and! put white flowers and green leaves' about the marble cold forehead.— i i There was a tiny baby beside the girl j mother.

Jonesboro, June 25.— 0n yesterday about 1 o’clock, five miles north of Jonesboro, near Morrow’s station, ip Clayton county, Mr, John Lambert. STABBED AND KILLED HIS BROTHER. Mr. Win. P. Lambert: The follow ing are the rumored facts as definite ly as they can be ascertained from persons living in the vicinity: About twelve or half past twelve o’clock yesterday Mr. W P Lambert eame up from the out field whore he 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 at 11 o’clock. It is said that the _de 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 with his brother, bui tt is obtains lit tle or no credit, and the entire com munity are much exercised over the matter. We are informed by.the at tending physician, Dr. L. A. MoKowd, ‘.bat the GRIEF OF THE FAMILIES of the two brothers (both having wiv es and cnildren), including the aged father and mother, is simply inde scribable. Both the youngruen were well-hr-do young farmars, having mar ried into quite respectable tami :es. Win. P. Lambert w.rs considered a quiet.clever, good oatured man John was indicted at our last couit for wife beating ana escaped by paying costs, and.is looked upon as, being quite IRRITABLE AND FRETFUL, although upon the whole tie stood tair in the county. Both wete Mas b r Masons in good stand;Dg, and members of tho Metho list church. Some of The Downs in Life. We have in our mind a brilliant and cultivated young lawyer who eta 1 ted in life with 520,0u0 and a re fined, beiutiful and accomplished wife, lie is now a suit of factotum in a carpet manufactory, running hither and thither at the beck and call of those whom ho secretly despis es, doing heavy tusks far beyond bis strength, yet eager and anxious to please, lest the si nder support which lie derives Irom his mental work be cutoff. We know a gentleman who was a hank president” ten yuan ago and owned his carriage, who now does copying in an insurance office at thirty-five dollars a month, support ing, God knows bow, a wife and five children on it. We know of a gen tleman who once held a high office in A Western State, who, this winter, solicited work at cleaning out offices and building fires. Nor have the changed times less bitterly affected women, but rather more. Jennie Collins, oi Boston, famed for her em ployment bureau and workiugwomen’s home, which she calls “I-offin’s Bower,” says in her lact report. — “Many kind lad : ea who have hired their servants of me in the past years have been obliged to apply for em ployment themselves ot late. I sert a lady to a hotel as a housekeeper, andtherrost humiliating part of it was that herroom was in the attic with two of het former servants.” We are constantly learning of women of edu cation and refinement,’formerly weal thy, who are engaged as nurses and housekeepers; and in one case we even know of a lady who would be at home in any parlor in the land among educated people, who served as a cook in a hotel for months.

Aitniml Sun Dance at Spotted Tail’s Camp. % _____ A dispatch ftotn Yankton, Dakotah says: “Tho young men of Spotted Tail’s camp are just concluding their annual sun dance, and the barbarous festival has been one of more than oidioary success. Foty-eight candi dates passed the terrible oideal of self torture and were entitled to full deplomas as werrio*s of unequal bravery. The candidate for hoDora cutrs longitudinal slits down each breast. One end of a lariet is passed under the strip of skin and the flesh left between the incision. It ia tight ly tied, and the othor end is made fast t the top of a high pole. The candidate then thiows himself bsckwaids with his weight on tho lariet, and the dance goes on till the flash gives way. Should he fail to break loose in the manner prescribed or should he faint during the opera tion, Le is forever a disgraced. The sun-danca just concluded was held about fifteen miles back from the Missouri river, and was witnessed by about seven thousand Indians and twenty five whites. Old Spotted-Tail was master of ceremonies, and . from the manner iD which he performed his incantations <.ud flourished his mystic wand, from which dangled the scalp of a white woman, one would not snpposa him the civilized red man who is carried on tho government pay rolls. Once a year Spot has bis fun- The sur.-dance has closed aud Spotted Tail’s Indians are now ready for the government to uio*e them to a uew agency.” Twenty Years from Now. Biily R ss, a temperance lecturer at Rus the young on his favorite thomo. Ho said: '‘Now boys, when I asked you a question, you mustn’t be afraid to speak right oat and answer me.— VVhon you look round aud seo all these line houses, faims aud cattle, do you evor tbiuk who owns them — your fathers, do tuey not?” “Yes sir,” shouted a hundred voices. “Well where will your fathers be twenty years from new ?” “De-d!” shouted the boys. “That’s right. Aud wno will own this property then?” “Us boys! ’ shouted the urchins. “Right. Now tell me, did you you ever., in going along the 6triets, notice the drunkards lounging around the saloon doors, waiting for some body to tieut them ?” “Yes sir; lots of them.” ‘ Weil where will they be twenty years from now ?” “Dead!” exclaimed the boys. “And who will be the drunkards then?” “Us buys!” Billy was thunderstruck for a mo ment, but, recovering tiimself, triod k to tell the boys how to escape such a fate, 1 m ■ ■ ■ - ■ —— 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. ”1 would not live always, I ask not to stay ; so he ate a greed epple and was carried away.” YOL 14.-INTO. 19- 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 section of the State of South Carolina whore custom forbade inn keopers to take pay from the clergy who stayed with them. The ministor iu questiou took supper without pray.- and ate breakfast without prayei er grace, and was about to take departure when “mine host” presented his hill “Ah, sir,” said he, “I am a clergy man.” “That may bo,” responded Boniface, “but you came here, smo ked like a sinner, and ate And drank like a sinner, and slept like a sinnor; and now, sir, you shall pay like a sin ner.” Smothered by Its Sisteb.— Mis. Patrick Burns stood by a little coffin m her room at 121 West Bioadway, last evomng, and, as she told how her babe died in the morning a chubby little two-year old girl ran about the room, alternatly lisping child nonseuce getting into mischief, and rolliug on the floor. “Little Maiv,” the mother S'Td, pointing to tho aliachief-loving child, “was lying on the bed with her tiny baby brotner while I was taking a bit of a nap in the other room.— Suddenly I woke up, all of a fright like, for the baby was crying, low and 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 lie came,” and Mrs. Burns’ aprou found its way to her eyes. “D.d Mary love her little brother? Oh, yes she always loved him;” then with a sigh, she added, “she loved hun 100 mu' li.”—2V. T”. Sun, 17/A. About tbe],time a .hoy begins to think his mother does'ut know enough to select li'.s clothing for him is a very dangerous period in his his toty. 11 she has energy and muse e ho can yet be saved. “I mean business” said a burglat who entered Mi.

Ingenious, but Faulty.

I’m trying to got this—baby to Bleep’ She’s been crying half an hour and you’ve slept through it ail!” His air of righteous indignation was well put on, but it wouldn’t do—luck was Against him. “What do you mean ?” his ,hettor half sternly responded: •‘I have got the baby in bed here with me, and she hasen’t cried to-night! When did you come home?” Sheep Raising in Worth. Boute time ago we mentioned that & Id i.

Colquitt granted a commutation of the sentence wont bbfore the jury. Why it was not givon at the trial is a puz z ing question, as it was certainly tho strongest part of the defence. Tho evidence before the court did not show uy improper relatiou betwoeo Bob Southern and Narcissa Cowait (or Fowler,) or any attempt bv her to alienate Southern from hia trite. This was ouly in the latter testimony iaid before the governor. But it did. show a very bitter and revengeful spit it —as coarse as it was hitter on the p3rt of Mrs. Southern toward* the deceased.
