Dr. Bell, in Jse charge the matter is intruded ie jury, says that in his opinion poison administered was what is Linonlv known as “Rough on ?jury in making up their deceased came poisoning, nit in the opinion of the jury voman, Willie Flrmister, did poisoning, and that said poisoning malicious murder.

One of the former is a Swede who has been there some months, charged with murder. He is a tailor by trade and has been permitted to pursue his oalling in the jail, and being a good workman, has as much to do as he can attend to.

A Methodist minis'er performed the cere mony.” “Did they have a wedding tour ?” asked the reporter. “Well, no; they didn’t have any money, and the walking those days wasn’t very good. So they just stayed at home.” “Where was the Dent residence V’ Cabalistic signs have a’ways had a great interest for the inquiring mind eyer since the days of Adam and Eve, The Egyptians have their mummi- s obelisks and pyramids covered with such, and many a learned person has tried in vain to solve their meaning.— Even in the excavations of Pompeii numbers of weir d, uncouth signs and characters, which, it they could be so'v ed, would prove, perhaps, that the forefathers of Geo. 0. Robinson, the c 1« brated piano and organ dealer of Augusta were in the same business and tha' he w a s but following out, in detail, with his enigmatical and puz zling letters, the same style of attract ing notice to his business. Persons have been known to be taken down sick and some have reached lunatic asylums on trying to solve the meaning of the various letters that he has used on fence boards, dead walls, house tops, in news papers, in ciiculars, and no doubt if you were to look closely, you would see such at the top of Stone Mountain. Prizes of no mean value have been of fered, which set tbe people of the West and South puzzling their brains to dis cover their correct meaning. First ap peared “L. P. Q. S.”—that bothered them. Then came “T. M. H. 0. T. > ” These created quite a ripple.— Shortly after appeared “E. I. 0. M.” It wts thought that these letters might stand for “every instrument our make,” but they did not. Then the world had given them *G, H. U ” and that has j been the mys ery for a long time, and | even now people lose sleep thinking I of what it can mean. Until Mr. Rob inson sees fit to divulge it. we can but surmise.

One thing is certain, this puzzling way of advertising excited the curiosity of the people, and they flocked to the sior<- where they were shown such bargains in ins ruuients that they found i: much 10 their interest to pur chase ; hence the sales of pianos, or gans, and musical merchandise out numbers that of any oilier house in the South, and is constantly increasing.— Augusta, Ga Sontlioi n Headquurttrs TEMPLE.
