In 1892 this same volcano erupted, and destroyed 10,000 Chris tians who had fled for refuge in its crater. 20,000 Pagans who had surrounded these Christians were also killed. Had the Christians been spared, the slaughter of the Pagans would have taken on the shape of a miracle, and been con- siderd as a timely interposition of Providence. Mr. Thos. C.

II a ni in on <1 Experimenting With I)r. IiroiTii-Seiiumt'ii Elixir of Lite. A special to the New York World from Washington says: Dr. Win. A. Hammond of this city is experi menting with the elixir of life recently discovered by Dr. Brown Sequard, of Paris, and, thus far, he says the results are fully equal to the promises given out by the great Paris physician. Dr. Ham mond was sitting on the veranda of the fine new hospital, which he has just built outside the city limits when a correspondent called on him to-night. “It is true,” said the doctor, “that when Dr. Brown-Sequard’s discov ery was first reported io the Ameri can people, I was rather dubious and inclined more or less to think as others had hinted, that either the report was a French joke, or that Dr. Brown-Sequard was another good man gone wrong. The first report did not give a good idea of the treat ment. It indicated, rather that the elixir was a compound from various glands of various animals, and on that showing I was willing to say the tiling was impossible. But when I obtained further and more accurate details from the French medical journals I was willing io believe that there might be some thing in it. I was willing at all events to put it to the test, and about a week ago I started to ex periment. Dr. Brown-Sequard uses only selected portions of the rabbit, or guinea-pig, simply be cause, I suppose these are the only animals upon which experiments are usually made in the French laboratories; but I have adopted the lamb, which I think is better. The lamb you know is ;an ani mal that is good to eat, but we don’t eat guinea-pigs. The preparation of the medicine and the treatment of the patient are very simple. I take the select ed portion of a lamb freshly killed, and pound it into a pulp in a mor tar. With this I mix a teaspoonful or two of water, and the result T fil ter through fine Swiss filtering pa per. The fluid, slightly thicker than water, comes through perfectly pure and limpid. The filtering must be carefully done, for if any shred or any part of the pulp were injected under the skin it would form abscesses and do harm. The extraction from a single lamb will be sufficient for a dozen injections. It does not matter to what part of the body the application is made, hut the most convenient place is under the skin of the forearm, where the °kin is comparatively slick. It would hardly he safe to inject the fluid derived from a body twenty- four hours after the killing of the animal. The injection of blood and of the juice of beef into wasted pa tients has been common tor years, and it is well known that to inject the essence of decayed beef would kill the man. As soon as the lamb is slaughtered by the butcher no time is wasted in pounding and fil tering, and within an hour of the killing of the lamb, the juice is cir culating in the patient’s veins and mingling with his blood. I began my first experiments on myself to as sure myself that it was not danger ous to the patient. Since then I have applied the elixir to several old gentleman without knowing what it was. One man, about sixty years of age, had his arms so nearly paralyzed with rheumatism that for a year he could not raise his hand to his head. Soon after the elixir was injected into the arm he could weikl it in any direction, and almost as vigorusly as he had ever done. Up to the present my experiments have been made with out the patient’s knowledge, but to morrow I am going to begin treat ing a man in this way at his own request. Of course it is too early yet to draw any sweeping conclu sions from the result obtained, but as far as I have gone the results are certainly remarkable. When I shall have continued my experi ments longer 1 shall be able to draw conclusions with more confi dence. Dr. Brown-Sequard’s cal culation is that an injection once a month will suffice to keep a man twenty or thirty years yonger than he really is. “Tlie tetter-board of life goes up.

Preferred Deatii to Jail. Macon Telegraph. Blakely, Aug. 3.—J. F. Gay, who lived on Mr. Wm. Laster’s place in the Sowhatchee neighbor hood, last year mortgaged his prop erty to Thomas Henderson, in Blakely, hut when fall came Gay sold his crop, etc., in Columbia, Ala., and lit out for Florida. At the Oc tober term of court the grand jury found a true bill against him for selling mortgaged property. A re quisition from the governor of Geor gia was recently secured, and last week Sheriff Black and Mr. J. II. Taylor went after Gay, They found him about twelve miles from Cot- tondale, Fla., and arrested him. He requested to be allowed to come by his home, which the sheriff kind ly granted, and he was with his family two or three hours. Then he wanted to go by his brother’s. This he was allowed to do also. Then he asked permission to walk just behind the buggy with his boy. Knowing there was little chance for him to escape the sheriff allow ed him to walk several hundred yards with his boy. When told to get in the buggy so that they might travel faster, Gay begged just a few more minutes respite, which was granted. Just as soon as the sheriff’s head was turned for a moment he whip ped out a razor, hallooed “good-bye” and cut his throat with the razor. The sheriff ran to him hut he had a fatal wound and died in a few minutes. The boy says his father told hnn lie was going to kill himself hut lie would not tell the sheriff because told not to do so. A jury of in quest was summoned and found a verdict of suicide. GEORGIA'S MAMMOTH CAVE. I’amlolpli County Rivals Kentucky in Subterra nean Wonders. Miicon Telegraph.

Harris & Co., Midvilie. An (Mil Mini Murdered. Nashville, Tenn., August 5.— The particulars of a foul crime have reached here from Decatur county. John A. Huffman, about seventy- one years of age, was murdered at his home. He went to his garden, one hundred yards from the house, and after getting a pan of potatoes for dinner, was waylaid in a little strip of woods while returning. His head was burst open with a large hickory club, and his throat cut, the the head being almost severed from the body. The murderer then drag ged his victim about ten feet and hid the body behind a log among some grape vines and low bushes. Suspicion rests upon Steve Gullige a young man from near Troy, Ken tucky. He was reared in the neighborhood, but got into several scrapes and left about seven years ago, returning July 29th. lie had heard of a boast that old man Huff man had made to one of his kins men, John L. Gullige, while under the influence of whisky, to the ef fect that he had a bushel of half dol lars, and he could buy the entire Gullige family. Steve Gullige made himself quite familiar with the old man, going to see him several times a day, staying seyeral hours each day. On the Sunday previous to the killing, he started to church at New Prospect with a number of young men, hut left them and re turned to Mr. Huffman’s house, where he spent the day. Since the murder he has not been seen. The old man was frightfully mutilated, lie was a widower and lives alone in a little cabin,doing all his own work. A CHILD KILLED.

The Athens Chronicle met an old citizen Saturday, who made the startling assertion that he knew of a man who had put up a small shan ty, the entire material of which had been stolen at odd times. He said he had seen that person fre quently carrying home an odd piece of plank and then at other times other pieces of lumber, and so on until after awhile he had collected enough material to build the little hut in which he lives. Not a sin gle article did he purchase—the whole thing was stolen. “Clara, dear, I want to show you my new engagement ring before you go.” “It’s very pretty; but remember the stone is loose.” “Why, how do you know that?” “Didn’t Mr. Rigby tell you I wore it a month or two?” owned thousands of acres of those rich lime lands, and lived in palaces in keeping with wealth. Then we pass the old Sam Grier plantation, which before the war, was one of the richest in the state, and the elegant mansion built in rich pattern of his day was known for its beauty and ele gance outside of Georgia. On this place Mr. Grier made a fortune burning and barreling lime for market, and in close proximity to this antique lime kiln is located the miniature mammoth cave. Its opening is about three feet in diameter, through which we de scended about twelve feet to the stalagmite floor. The first room is about twenty feet square, with ceil ing of glistening stalactite and moist carbonate of lime above. In it we found various shells the size of a large oyster shell, rocks of every shape and vorious curiosities. As we proceed further are large rooms and small ones, and enclos ures so small as to necessitate crawling through to proceed further into its dark interior. About one hundred yards in its interior you pass a beautiful placid stream as clear as crystal and deep, slowly wending its snakelike path around ! the mounds of pultaceous limestone and going, no one knows where. Further on we hud other enclosures and large anil small rooms, bluffs of rapid descent, winding stairways formed by nature and well made seats as if made by hand. Reyond these another stream wends its way hut with rapid mur- murings, clear as diamonds, with a little wall of limestone on each side which seems to act as guide for this babbling brook as it wends its way over its pebbly bed. We cannot say how far this cavern ex tends, hut 150 yards only carries you to new scenes, new windings, new-shaped shells, new curiosties, which show that this might have once been the bed or bottom of some marine body or the habitation of marine animals. There is close to this cave an old Indian trail, and various are the superstitions of this aboriginal tribe concerning it, one of which is that it was the abode of King Eolus, and at this opening he sat guard in his kingly splendor to suppress the wtrnls if humanity pleased him, or let them fly out in rapid ruin if not satisfied with mortal doings. of the field at his row’s end. These dogs are trained to patrol the adja- their cent forest, and no human being can approach without being exposed by these vigilant sentries. At night the dogs and goats lie about the cabin—the goats without the yard inclosure and the dogs within. When any human being approaches these goats set up an unearthly series of bleating. The dogs within understand the signal and rush furiously at the Intruder. Armed to the teeth the proprietor hails the visitor. If found to he a friend one word from the hermit silences both goats and dogs and the guest is invited in. Thus guarded this desperate man says he sleeps more securely than the czar because, unlike the imperial cohorts of the latter, his faithful sentinels can not be bribed or otherwise rendered unsafe by colllusion with their owner’s enemies. Nasal Catarrh is a dangerous disease: From its tendency to extend to the throat, bronchial tubes, and finally to in volve the lungs in consumptive dis ease, it should he promptly cured, that these grave dangers may be averted.

A Glance at a North Carolina ( aiming Factory. Charlotte News, August 1st. A CharlotteJman who spent the day in Salisbury yesterday, gives a News reporter some interesting points about the big canning facto ry of Mr. J. Lanier, located at that place. He says that Lanier’s can nery demonstrates what can be done on that line in North Caroli na. Mr. Lanier has thirty-five acres of the finest tomatoes ever grown, and lie cans them at the rate 132 cases each day. A case contains one dozen cans, four drays are busi ly engaged in hauling goods from the factory to the depot. In addi- to this Mr. Lanier cans peaches. Our informant says that in front of his factory yesterday wagons load ed with beaches stood in line like cotton wagons at the Charlotte plat form in October, waiting to he un loaded. The canned goods of this factory are equal if not superior to those of the northern factories, and sell at good prices. Mr. Lanier has all the business he can attend to, and is arranging to increase his facilities. How is that tor the can- ningindustry in this state. Still In the Well.

FnnlS, about eight miles east of this city. It was noticed this morning that the water from the well in his yard had an offensive smell as well as a very bad taste. An investigation was at once begun, and resulted In the discovery of a dead negro in the bottom of the well. The negro is supposed to be a young fellow who has been working on the place by the name of West. He turned up missing this morning, but noth ing serious was thought of his ab sence until the discovery was made. Mr. Ennis heard the negro going to the well last night, while his family was at supper, but does not remember whether he leff the well or not. The shoes and hat belong ing to the negro were found near the well, which gives rise to the the suspicion that he committed suicide. The coroner will hold an inquest in the morning. The negro has has not been taken from the well yet. San Francisco,Aug. 4.—Through the efforts ot President Harrison’s wife a convict in San Quentin pris on who was serving a seven year’s sentence for forgery, was pardoned this week by Governor Waterman. The man had been convicted of forging a note while intoxicated. Soon after Harrison’s nomination he wrote a poem entitled “The Old Soldier,” which was published in an evening paper. The poem de scribed Gen. Harrison’s bravery at the battle of Resaea in the rebel lion. The poem was copied widely on this coast, and soo after Harri son’s election one of the prisoners sent it to Mrs. Harrison with a briet account of the convict author’s good life in prison. She took an in terest in him and he has been par doned. The released convict ex pressed great gratitude to Mrs. Har rison, and declaers that her sympa thy has made a man of him.

He was a member of the Troup Artillery, and while at Orange courthouse, in Virginia, was ordered to arrest Bill Jones, who killed his father- in-law in the lower part of Clarke county, and was afterwards killed by Mr. Aycock at the lower bridge. Bill was a desperate character, and created as much trouble in the war as he did in time ot peace. Mr. Williams went to arrest him and was stabbed by Jones in the left breast, which came very near kill ing him, and he is now seeking a pension for the injuries received. This is the history ot Mr. Williams. He dreamed not long since that there was a large amount of money hid under a rock on the side of the street in front of the Bishop lot on Jackson street in Athens. The dream impressed him very much, and the next day lie could hardly think of anything else. The second night he again had the same dream, and could see the pile of money, as it lay nestled in a hole under the rock. This caused him to grow more excited about the matter, but he still did not have enough faith in his dream to come all the way to Athens and find the hidden treasure. Tne third night, and the dream pursued him. Under the stone he could see the glittering gold, enough to make him rich for life and his family happy. The third dream overcame his scruples and Mr. Williams vis ited Athens and informed some of his friends of his dream, which had followed him steadily for three successive nights. Mr. Williams repaired to the spot pointed out to him in his vision, and there, sure enough, was the large stone on the side of the street, exact ly the size, shape and in the same position as he saw it three times in deramland. This proved the re sult of his dream, and it only re mained to move the ponderous stone, and the hidden treasure beneath was< his for the seizure. The most singular part of the story is that Mr. Williams had never noticed this rock before, and yet had an artist placed upon canvas the representation in his dream it could not have been more minute. Even a flaw that he dreamed of was seen on the face of the stone, while a bunch of weeds growing near it he also remembered to have thrice seen in his vision. The for tunate man would not at that in stant have taken $1,000 in cash for his chances to acquire a fortune. He could almost hear the gold pieces jingling in his pockets. With nervous hands he sought to turn over the stone. At first it resisted his efforts, but this only made him work the harder. At last he succeeded In raising one corner from its bed; then with a mighty effort the boulder was overturned, and there sure enough, spread out before his eager and enraptured gaze was about a—half dozen black bugs, who at once grew fearfully excited over the disturbance of their lodging place. It is needless to add that Mr. Williams was both sick at the heart and disgusted. His “gold en dream was o’er,” and he sadly hitched up his team and wended his way back to his Jackson county home, a sadder and a wiser man. There are those in Athens who still have faith in Mr. William’s dream about the gold, and say that had he taken the trouble to secure a mat tock and dug down a few feet into the earth that he would in all prob ability have struck his fortune. This will douhless yet be done by some confiding gold hunter, unless the police interferes and prevents the destruction of a city’s side walk. A Missing Mall liider. —Largest assortment of plain and fancy crackers at C. E. Scherer’s, The mail rider, who rides the mail between Cave Spring and Cedar Bluff, is missing. Saturday he left Cave Springs for the other end of his route, and about 11:30 o’clock his horse was found, but the rider and the pouch were nowhere to be found. The woods were scoured in search of him, but not a trace of him could be discovered. A good many are inclined to believe that there has been foul play and his dead body has been hid away in the woods. The exciteinent is great, and every nook and corner will be searched for evidence that will throw a light on the mystery.
