she had relatives and friends. About
four years ago she wrote to Senator
Bailey to compromise the case for S3OO.

Senator Bailey secured a settlement

In the mea itirne, however, she has
been lost trace of, and he now takes
this method of finding her. The money

she probably needs it. It will bo an
act of charity if our exchanges will copy
this notice, or at least give the sub

proof of that fact would secure the

V Congressional Spree.
There is beginning to be a good deal
of talk among Congressmen regarding
! the story first printed by the .Irmy and
„V* iv/ Jo trim/, that an affray had oc
curred some time ago between two Vir
ginia Congressmen, and that one of
them had since died, the intimation be
ing unmistakable that he died from the
effects of the injuries he received in the
encounter. The matter having become
so public, it is no longer necessary to
1 conceal wha are believed to be the
I real facts The two Congressmen are
! understood to have been ex-Governor
Walker an I Beverly Douglas, of Vir
ginia. Both gentlemen, a* die story
goes, were on a spree ami met at a house
of doubtful reputation. They bad been
on friendly terms, but, as usual, a wo
man was in the case, and a very vio
lent altercation followed. Both gen
tlemen are s;rd to have been seriously
injured, and one of them, Mr. Douglas,
died within a few days. It is not sup
posed, however, by bis friends, that
death was caused by any injuries recei
ved from Governor Walker. Mr. Doug
in* ha* keen for several years a constant
and heavy drinker, and all his finer sen
sibilities and his domestic virtues have
been blunt.d and destroyed by his un
fort una e habits. Inflammation of the

During the greater part of yestorlav
he s ut i side of Mason's s or • was be
siege 1 by an immense crowd of Indians,
of both sexes, eng iged in a game ot
poker. It was a cool game in the open
air, with t le thermometer ranging at
about 25 deg. above zero The semi
savages crouched upon the hid frozen
ground, seemingly feeling a- comfort
able as the whites do in a pi asantly
warmed room Strewn on the nu n
edge of the poker circle were li tie half
clad pappoose3, with bare legs and low
cut dresses, and squaws w.th bare fee',
looking and apparently feeling as indif
ferent to the bitter atmosphere as the
civilized lady who walked along the
street in sealskin fus. The game ant
ed until sundown, and only when Sol
disappeared behiui the \\ estern hills
did those children of ua uro bundle up
their cards and seek their little huts in
the sutheru suburbs.

Old Cold Simp in Oeorgin.
Griffin News.
Iu view of the usual severty of the
cold weather, which is regarded by
Southern people with most absorbing
interest, many of our Georgia oxehacg**
es are recalling cool spells that, delight
ed Georgians hi years passed. That the
thermometer has very nearly pumped
zero in Atlanta, getting in eh se prox
imity to that point in Griffin, aud the
heavy snow storm in Darien on .Mon
day, render the the topic one of geuer-
interest. In a musty old volume con
tained in the library of Col. W. T
Trammel!, we find much pertinent in
formation. From the little booh, “A
Gazetteer of Georgia,’’ issued pier to
the war, we make make a few extracts:
“lu 1774 there was a severe frost in
May, which killed large tre s. Iu
January, 1827, the Oconee river was
frozen over near Milledgeville, and the
Savannah at Augusta, a circumstance
never before known. The winter of
1828, unusually mild, the mercury
ranging, the first ten days of January,
from 04 to 70 degrees! The jessamine,
woodbine, altliea and jolinquil were all
iu the verdue of spring. Wattermel
ons and shad were iu the Savannah and
Macon markets
“On the 10th of January, 1828, the
captain of an English vessel presented
Mr. Cowper, of St Simon’s Island, with
a few peas, which he had brought from
England. Ou the 27th of February,
37 days after, the captain was eompli
mente 1 with a peek of fine green peas.
l’cb. 0, 1831, there was snow eight
inches deep.
In 1831, snow covered the ground in
Ilall cowry, April 8.
In 1832, Feb 21, the thermometer
stood at 7 degrees above zero There
was good skating at Milledgeville.
1837, Jan. 8 At night snow fell 8
indies, an 1 thirteen inches iu Troup and
Pike.
Feb. 3. Four inches of snow.
Feh. 8. Mercuiy tli:ee degrees below
zero at Eatoatou, in a e ose passage,
and eight degrees below zero in open
air iu Milledgeville. Nothing like it
ever known before in Georgia. The
cold weather that year iu New England
was about the 25th of January,‘when
the mercury froze; but it did not
reach Georgia until tli: 7tli and Bth of
February ; iu Floriday it was not so se
vere until March 4th, when most of the
orange trees were killed.
In 1830, Jan, 25tli,the mercury went
down to 12 decrees below zero.
1827, Febuary, snow 4 or 5 inches,
also in March.
May 7. Snow in the upper part of
the State loading the tree;'.
The wea her chronicler af the “Gl

casual remark, “It is very evident our
winters are becoming colder.”

An old sea captain, well known in
the days of liar; re packets, ‘whosailed
the seas over” for fifty year3 or more,
used to tell that in the early part of his
first voyage as captain, when he had
but just turned twenty-one, his cabin
boy eomp’ained of a lame back. There
was a medicine cheat aboard, whose con
tents it was the captain’s duty to di’-
peuse according to the best of bis
knowledge and abi ity. In a shallow
drawer at the bottom of the chest were
tiiree or four Spanish fly plasters a
- spread on kid, and one of these
t so eaptai ■ decided to apply to the boys
back. It was done, and the little fel
low sent to bed. In the morning be
was on hand bright and early, but the
captain’s usual cup of coflee was miss
ing “Cook isn’t up, sir,’ was the
boy's explanation. “Why not?” asked
the captain. “He sa\ *he can’t get up.
‘Why not?” “says his baek hurts him,
sir.” “Baek. VVbat s the matter with
his baek?” “The plaster,sir.” “What
do you mean ?” exclaimed the captain;
“1 di ln’t put the plaster on his baek ”
“No, sir, but I did,” whimpered the
boy. “You did, you young rascal'”
howled the captain, jumping trom his
berth “What on earth did you do
that for f ’ “Well, sir,” answered the
boy, getting well out of the range of
any stray bootjack or o'.rier missi.e that
might ehaneo to be within the captain’s
reach, “when I woke up in the night it
hurt aie so I had to take it off. The
cook was in the next bunk asleep, an'
I just clapped it on his back. I didn’t
want to waste the plaster, sir.” And
he didn’t. It Worked to perfection,
keeping the poor cook in bed with a
sore back over a week; and in the next
bunk, keeping him company, wa< the
boy, also with a sore baek, but it wasn’t
the plaster that made it so. A rope's
end Was a favorite prescription in those
days-

Rev. John Mandeline, of Brooklyn,
just sentenced to five years' imprison
ment for bigamy, missed bis calling.—
He should have been a humorist. In
his confession to the judge he wrote :
“After my first wife died, in 173, I
went to I’libadelphia, where I became
acquainted with Mary E. Jtustel, and
ma ried her. Soco after my wife left me
on account of my religii n. T (hen went
to Newark as a preacher of the Gospel'
There 1 became acquainted with an old
widow, who p.opcsed marriage to me,
and, after telling her my circumstances
as regards my first wife, who is living,
got married to her. She sleo left me.
I then went to Bradford, Conn., where
I made the acquaintance of a third wo
man, to whom I waa married. She
found out the circumstances respecting
my previous marriages, and one morn
ing upon returning form work I found
that she also had fled. I then catne to
Troy, where I formed the acquaintance
of a servant girl, to whom I was mar
ried. She fled from me. Learning
that this last person intended to have
me arrested, 1 left Troy and went to
Lowell, Mass- I came across a ftiend
who introduced me to a young lady,
and after some time keeping her com
pany, 1 proposed aud was married to
her. Ab .ut a month after she was in
formed of my previous marriages, and I
had to leave Massachusetts. I then
came to VYiufield, L. 1., where I mar
ried my present wife, Miss VViedel, and
for which marriage I was locked up. I
therefore ask for mercy.”

She was slightly burned in escaping and
