IMPORTANCE IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.
Atlanta, Ga., will take West End into
the city limits.
Dr. J. S. Owen, of Anderson, S. C.,
was killed by his stepson. Owen was
beating his wife.
The only injury by the storm in the
Shenandoah Valley, in Virginia, was to
growing crops, and it is not so bad as at
first reported.
Dr. Jerome Cochran, of Alabama, has
just returned from Florida and Cuba,
and reports no yellow fever in Florida
and very little in Havana.
The Seaboard & Roanoke Railroad
bridges over the Nottoway and Merrin
rivers, Va., are several feet under water
and all commun'c ttion South by that line
has been cut off.
Dr. G. H. Goldsmith and T. [C. Wil
kie, of Stone Mountain, Ga., and who
are brothers-in-law, fell out about a cow
pasture and indulged in a bout with
pistols. Wilkie received three wound?
while the doctor was not hurt.
Tom Woolfolk, the Macon murderer,
is on trial again, this time at Fort Valley,
Ga., and a question has come up as to the
qualification of Judge Gustin. If it is
louud the judge is di-qualified to sit on
the case, it will have to be tried in somt
other court.
Governor Fowle, of North Carolina,
commuted the death sentence of S. C.
McMahon, of Jackson county, murderer,
to imprisonment for life. McMahon was
convicted of the murder of Emil Bucha
nan at the Fall term of Macon county
court last year.
A large rotary boiler weighing 18,000
pounds, in the main building of R. Wil
liam’s paper mills, at Banning, Ga., ex
ploded with terrific force, blowing the
boiler ends out, destroying the building
and throwing some of the timber over a
quarter of a mile. The w-alls and the
roof fell in, but no lives w T ere lost, al
though every one were more or less in
jured.
A coroner’s inquest was held on the
body of William Bush, who died neai
Waynesboro, Va., in violent convulsions.
The evidence resulted in the airest ol
Ida Bush, the deceased man’s wile, and
Peachy Atkinson, charged iviih causing
Bush's death by administering Rough on
Rats and arsenic in his food. This had
been going on since May 23d, when Bush
not ced his first queer feeling. Arsenic
was added to Rough on Rats,with fatal
results.
Neill S. Brown, Jr., son of ex-Gov-
ernor Brown, of Tennessee, and reading
clerk of the National House of Repre
sentatives at Washington, D.C.,w r as killed
in a cut on the Louisville & Nashville Rail
way, in East Nashville, on Sunday.
Brown was on a visit to his mother, and
had been out all night with friends. He
had started home alone, and probably
lost his way and wandered on to the
railway track. He was instantly killed,
his bead being crushed to a jelly, one
shoulder and arm horribly mangled, and
his heart and other organs torn out.
Shortly after midnight, on Thursday,
fire broke out in the engine room of the
extensive tannery of O’. G. Smoot &
Sons, in Alexandria, Va., and before the
flames could be subdued, the entire
structure, covering a square of ground,
was destroyed, together with a large
quantity of leather, hides, etc. The es
tablishment was one of the largest and
most complete in the South, and the
buildings were principally of brick.
The loss is estimated at from $36,000 to
$50,000, which may be increased to
$100,000 if the leather proves a loss.
Sixty-six head of Jersey cattle, the
property of Dr. William Morrow & Son,
Spurr & Taylor, Jordan Stokes and
others, were sold at Nashville, Tenn.
Though not over 100 people were in at
tendance, principally on account of the
raw weather, a number of buyers were on
hand, and the bidding was spirited.
The cattle offered were of the very best
strains, and it is doubtful if better prices
were ever secured at a like sale in this
country. Thirty-one head offered brought
a total of $G,17o, an average of $199.
The whole sixty-six head brought $9,-
400, an average of $143.
The resignation of Rev. Dr. W. .1.
Darby closed his pastorate of eighteen
years at Evansville, Ind., which was oik
of the most successful ever enjoyed by
aiiy minister in the state. During his
pastorate he has preached 3,520 sermons,
eonduett d over 500 funeral services and
solemnized the marriages of over 1,00C
couples. His resignation as pastor was
made to take charge of the publishing
works of the Cumberland Presbyterians,
with headquarters at Nashville, Tenn.,
also to accept a professorship of the
Cumberland Presbyterian University a’
Lebanon, Tenn.
The excessive rains of the past few
days have done widespread damage. A
washout on the Seaboard Air Line, hear
Raleigh, N. C., caused much delay. One
washout, 500 yards long, between .Aber
deen and Keyser, on the Raleigh & Au
gusta railroad, delayed the arrival of
trains until afternoon. There was also
a w-ashout on the Durham North
ern railroad. Several narrow escapes
from drowning are reported, and many
streams are higher than in five years.
TLere were also hailstorms in several
counties. One of these in Sampson was
very destructive to crops. Farmers have
lost heavily by these rains, which were
almost like a cloud-burst. Mauy dams
have been broken.
Considerable excitement was caused at
Fairburn, Ga., on Sunday night by an
alarm of lire, which proceeded from the
county jail. A negro prisoner named
Jeff Johnson, who is in for an assault
with intent to murder his wife in a most
brutal manner, had set fire to the bedding
in his cell, and but for the prompt ac
tion and heroic efforts of Sheriff J. L.
Camp and James -Sams, himself and
two other negroes would probably have
been roasted alive. Had the outside
flooring caught, and had bfcen untiei
good headway, there would have been
no escape for the prisoners, as they were
securely locked in the iron cages. It is
not known what motive the negro could
have had in setting fire to tne building,
unless he might have hoped, in the ex
citement to have made his escape.

A VIGOROUS OFFICIAL.
A dispatch from Jefferson City, Mo.,
says that the secretary of state has issued
a circular letter to all county clerks in

SNAILS FOR FOOD.
Some People Like the Slimy Mol-
lusks, and Call them Delicious.
“Do you mean to say you have much
of a trade in those things ?” asked a New
York Press reporter of a Fulton Market
fish dealer, pointing to a peculiarly
shaped box lined with shelves, over
which crawled hundreds of snails.
“They don’t go off very rapidly, that’s
a fact,” replied the dealer, “but there is
always a steady demand for them, so I
keep them in stock. Most of the snails
brought to the New York market are
raised iu that land of red mud and mos
quitoes, Jersey. There a number of
small farmers do nothing else but raise
and fatten them. It is no new tiling,
you know, to devote time and money to
the snail culture abroad, for both in
France, Germany, and some parts of
England, these lazy mollusks are much
admired by epicures. The taste for
them in this country lias scarcely be
come popular qb yet. although there are
more restaurants tliHil oiie would think,
especially down town in the vicinity of
Wall street, where snails are regularly
served.
“Did you ever eat any yourself ?”
“I have, many a time; and properly
cooked a ripe fat snail is delicious. By
ripe I mean that condition in which
snails are when about to retire into a
state of torpidity for the winter. Like
all hibernating animals, snails then lay
on a thick coating of fat, and it is when
in tills condition that they are consid
ered best. There are a number of ways
in w hich snails may be cooked to ad
vantage, Quo is to broil them and sea
son with pfepper and vinegar. Soaked
in salt and water and then served in the
many ways in which oysters, scollops
and periwinkles are eaten, they are ex
cellent. In general,” continued the
dealer, launching into snail history, “it
may be said that the Kentish ’•.'tail, so
called because first found in the county
of Kent, England, is upon the whole the
finest edible variety yet discovered.
This snail has a rosy lip and delicate
blush, is of good size, takes on fat read
ily, and lias a delicious flavor. In Eng
land snails are not used so much as an
ordinary article of food Its for a delicacy
at stated feasts. Eor instance, at New
castle the glass manufacturers, at their
yearly banquet, are famous for tlieir
snail dishes. The Dartmoor mutton,
the finest in the world, is supposed to
get its rich flavor from the snails eaten
by the sheep. It is a well known fact
that snails were a common dish frith thfl
Romans, and that the epicures of that
iiati'On raised them of an enormous size.
On many parts of the continent snails
are commonly eaten, and from certain
snail farms near Ulen, in Wurtemberg,
no fewer tlinu 10,000,000 ef theSe cfCa*
turds are sent yearly to other gardens to
be fattened beforh they tlrfi Shipped fOr
the Use of the Austrian converts during
Lent. From Troyes alone it has been
calculated that snails to the value of
$100,000, the wholesale price being four
sous per hundred, are forwarded to tlie
markets of Paris. Some of these French
snails are put up in casks and shipped
to this country, but tlie Jersey article is
rather driving the foreign from our
markets. Snails are supposed to be effi
cacious in curing consumption, and
boiled in milk are still used for this pur
pose in some parts of England. At one
time they were used in that country in
the manufacture of imitation cream,
and, despite acts of Parliament prohib
iting such manufacture, they are even
yet braised and stewed in milk to form
one of tlie tolerably palatable articles
which pass under that name. ”

The Great Coral Reefs Along the
Coast—Sponge Fishing Not Easy
Work—Different Varieties.
A Fort Meade (Fla.) letter to the New
York Times says that sponge fishing is
confined to the southwestern part of the
coast, along the reefs, and to the exten
sive rocky shoals, that lie between Mark’s
and Anclote Keys. Accurately speaking,
the sponge reef begins a few miles east of
Appalachicola, and hugs the coast to
within fifty miles of Cedar Keys. Then
there is a break of 100 miles, after w r hich
it reappears and runs south without in
terruption to Key West and the Bahama
Islands. This reef, a rocky ridge, some
times of genuine limestone, but generally
of coral, begins some six or eight miles
from shore and continues out indefinitely.
Wherever there is a rocky bottom sponges
are said to be found, and the only reason
ivhy the fisheries do not extend completely
around the gulf coast is that in places, as
off the coast of Texas or Cedar Keys, this
rocky bottom begins in water too deep to
permit of profitable sponging. The aver
age depth of water on the St. Mark’s
reef at six miles from land is sixteen feet.
The sponges are in great abundance and
of good quality. The supply is practi
cally inexhaustiable, as they grow almost
as fast as gathered, a sponge requiring
only about two years to reach maturity.
Nearly all of the sponges used in the
United States were brought from the
Mediterranean until 1852, when attention
was called to the immense numbers that
were growing in Florida waters. As soon
as it was found that the quality of these
compared favorably with those of Europe
the merchants and fitters-out of vessels of
Key West engaged very actively in the
business of placing them on the market.
At first the best qualities ivere bought
from the fishermen at the rate of ten cents
per pound. As Mediterranean sponges
became scarce and costly, the Florida
sponges came into more demand, and
their value increased proportionately.
After about eighteen years’ fishing upon
the known ground the supply began to
fail. Then, in 1870, a new area of
ground, larger than the old one, was dis
covered, and this gave a new impetus to
the trade. In that year Appalachicola
sent
which has since been largely increased.
During the past eighteen years the busi
ness has been energetically pursued with
good results.
The methods employed in the fishery
differ greatly from those employed in the
Mediterranean, where divers go down and
bring up the sponges. Small vessels,
carrying crews of from five to fifteen
men, are fitted out at Key West and
Appalachicola, for trips of from four to
eight weeks on the sponge grounds. Tlie
crews are paired off into small rowboats,
or “dingies,” to catch the sponges. One
man stands in the stern, sculling the
boat, while the other kneels in the bot
tom amidships, with the upper half of
his body leaning over the side, and scans
the bottom of the seu. To aid the eye
an instrument called a “water glass,”
which is a common water bucket whose
wooden bottom has been replaced by One
of glass, is used by setting it in the water
and thrusting the face as far into it as
convenient: When a sponge is sighted
the bfiat is Stopped, and the kneeling liinti
uses a two-pronged hook, attached to a
slender pole thirty or forty feet in
length, to secure it. Considerable dex
terity is required of both men. To cure
the sponges they are first spread about
the vessel’s deck in their natural upright
position, so that they will die, and while
1 decomposing allow the gelatinous matter
' to run off freely: When they have been
| several days in this position they are
taken to the shore and thrown into thfe
water in little pens, called ! ‘cfawls,”
where the remaining substance is soaked
and squeezed out.
The spongers thus work on, day after
day, under a tropical suu that burns and
browns the skin until one canuot tell a
white man from a negro. It is a desper
ately hal'd life,more severe than any other
that one dan think of, and it requires men
pf no ordinary constitution to siilnd hjj to
it. The spongers are therefore naturally
an exceedingly muscular set.
The principal season for this fishery is
the summer, from May to August,but the
best conditions of the water are in winter,
and a great deal of the fishing is then
carried on with success. During the j
hurricane months of August, September
and March the vessels are nearly all laid
up. The state of the weather greatly
affects the result of the fishery. When
the water is made rough and roily by
long-continued strong winds sponge catch
ing becomes impracticable. In some
years the fishery has been a complete
failure, while in others it has been very
profitable, always owing to the weather.
As the natural beds of sponges have be
come scarcer prices have advanced,so that
even if a vessel does not secure as large
a quantity in a given time as formerly the
financial result is about the same.
Tlierfe are Several varieties of sponges
caught iii the Florida waters. There afe
first, sheep’s wool, which z6ll fot $1 to
$5 a pound; second, yellow sponge?*,
which sell for 20 to 60 cents per pound,
and third, grass sponges, which are coarse
in texture, and not durable, and sell for
10 to 20 cents per pound. When these
are marketed they are trimmed and. cleaned
of sand and shells, and then pressed into
small bales of 100 to 120 pounds each in
which form they go to the wholesale
dealers. Some attempts have been made
during the past three years to cultivate
the more valuable kinds of sponges, and
iu some instances the experiment has met
with success. It seems probable that the
future supply of the sheep’s wool variety
will depend upon some such action as
this. Besides being scarcer along the
sponge reef, this variety grows slower
(ban the coarser kinds, and the demand
for it is always greater than the supply. !

A Visit to a Natural History Society.
One wet evening Willie Ransom got
Jack to go, just because there was noth
ing else to do. There was a short paper
being read on “Fish-Scales,” and a num
ber of them were mounted for micro
scopical examination, of course with a
low power, say inch and half-inch. Any-
| thing relating to fish or fishing was cer-
| tain to gain Jack's attention, therefore a
' better subject could not hav ? been
I selected to engage his service. Besides,
i Jack had never yet even looked through
| a microscope! He felt a bit ashamed of
i this now; but there were a couple of
, „ a , * 11 , • microscopes present, and Jack determined
out a small fleet of sponge vessels . , 1 J . , ’ , , ,,
r ° 1 to have a good look through them. The
scales of different sorts of British fishes
were on view. Of course, fish-scales are
common enough; but who would think
that each kind has its own pattern of
scale, and that you could tell a species of
fish by its scales?
The pappr showed that the scales of
fishes were composed of the same material,
chitine, as the feathers of birds, or the
hair and nails of animals—a kind of sub
stance only found in the animal kingdom,
and never in the vegetable; that these
scales are developed in little pockets in
the fish's skin, which you can plainly see
for yourself when a herring is scaled.
They are arranged all over the fish’s body
like the tiles covering a roof, partly over
lapping each other, as is seen by one part
of the scale being often different from the 1
other.
Jack looked through the microscope
and was delighted; He was always a
reverent-minded boy, and the sight broke ■
on his mind like a new revelation. How
exquisitely chased and beautiful were the
markings, IlnCs; dots and other peculiar- j
■ities! Then the scales which run along
the middle line of the fish were shown
him, and the ducts perforating them, out j
of which the mucus flows to auoiut the |
fish’s body, and thus reduce the friction ;
of its rapid movement through the water, j
The lad was half bewildered at the possi
bility of the new knowledge. “Could
anybody get to know about these things?” .
he asked Willie, who told him of course
he cofild; if he would only take a little ’
trouble.—Popular Science Monthly.
Pen Picture of Napoleon.
Bourienne, in his memoirs, gives this
pen picture of Napoleon: “Bonaparte
had beautiful hands, and he was very j
proud of them; while conversing he !
would often look at them with au air of
self-complacency. He also fancied he
had fine teeth, but his pretension to that
advantage was not so well founded as his
vanity on the score of his hands. Napol
eon always walked while dictating. He
sometimes began while seated, but at the
first word he rose. He began walking in I
the room where he was, and walked up ;
and down in it. This promenade lasted
all the time he was dictating. As he !
entered into his subject he experienced a
sort of “tic,” consisting in a movement
of his right arm, which he twisted, while
pulling with his hand the lining of the
cuff of his coat. Still, his delivery was
hot quickened by this movement, his step
was also slow and measured. Expressions \
came without effort to render his
thoughts. If they were sometimes incor- j
rect, this very incorrectness added to J
their energy, and always marvelously de- j
picted to the mind what lie tried to say;
Napoleon seldom wrote himself. Writing !
was a fatigue to him. His hand could j
not follow the rapidity of his conception. |
His writing was an assemblage of inde- !
cipherable characters without connection. j
Half of the letters of each word were j
deficient. He could not read it over :
himself, or would not take the trouble to i
do so. If any explanation were asked of i
him, he retook his draft, which he tore !
or threw- into the fire, while he dictated i
afresh, giving the same ideas, but with j
different expressions and words. His ,
spelling was incorrect, though he knew \
well enough to point out the errors in the j
writings of others.”

Flying Machines.
Attempts to make birds the models
upon which man should construct a fly-
: ing apparatus are almost without number
History is full of such attempts and their
failures. Three years ago, at ihe meet
ing of the American Association for the
advancement of science, a certain profes
sor, Isaac Lancaster, read a paper before
1 the Buffalo Convention, in which he pro-
, fessed to give the results of many years’
| study devoted to the observation of
birds in flight. “In 1876,” said Prof.
I Lancaster, “I went to the Gulf coast of
South Florida, below Tampa Bay, and
| resided there for five years, continuously
I engaged in this matter. From Tampa
I Bay to the Keys,soaring birds are found
i in profusion. These consist of buzzards,
frigate birds, various cranes, gannets,
eagles, pelicans, gulls, herons, and oth
ers of less importance. The buzzards
would habitually rest in the sea breeze
along the inner or bay coast, between
thirty and fifty feet above the water, fac
ing the wind for Uours at a time on mo
tionless wings. They were birds of
from four to six pounds weight, with an
equal number of square feet of wing sur
face. I watched a score of them on one
occasion for fourteen consecutive hours,
during which time not a dozen flaps were
made for each bird. If a bird can float
indefinitely in calm air without using
muscular exertion, being for mechanical
purposes as rigid as.a board, then a board
or metal body of the right shape and po
sition ought to be able to do the same
thing. In construction it must preserve
the essential fe itures of the bird’s wing.” .
The professor said that nothing was nec
essary to success but a nice imitation of
the figure of a bird when floating in the
