Atlanta, June 7.—Quite a sensation
was created in the United States Circuit
Court this morning when P. J. Talley, a
noted moonshiner from Haralson county*
who plead not guilty, acknowledged his
guilt. Tally is a white man, about forty
years of ag“ and is one of the oldest moon
shiners in the State, for liis age. In his
trial tlie counsel attempted to break down
the testimony of the government witnesses,
by the introduction of witnesses for tlie
defendant. It became evident that the
prisoner would be convicted and then he
acknowledged his guilt as a retailer of
illicit liquor. At this contradiction by
the prisoner of his solemn plea of iuno
fence, Judge Newman became very indig
nsnt, and announced to the court that lie
thought Talley guilty of perjury and that
h; should he'prostcuud for it. He was
given four months in Fulton county jail
and fined$100. HewOlhl pro-.. utedfor

James Filard, of Habersham, pleaded

! One of the numbers given was ten figures
i deep, another was eleven tiguri - deep. He
could raise any number under forty to
nixtli power insta jtly. He could raise any
number under 100 to the sixth power iu
ten or fifteen minutes. He was given the
number no, which is a prime uuuiuci
more dlt5oc.il; but he raised it in a
few minutes (496,981,290,061). He could
instantly give the minutes and sec
onds of periods of time from tlie Mosaic
(aeation, and c ttkl give the feet or inches
of sidereal distances. Professor II. M.
Parkins (professor of astronomy) asked
iiim a question. McCartney said lie had
nWver been given such a question, hut lie
would see. Vliat was v try remarkable
was he never asktd tlie professor to state
it again, although it was most compli
cated. In about three minutes he said it
came out witli a fraction, and the fraction
w;ls one-eighth. In a few minutes inure
lie told off the long line ot figures.
A gentleman wrote five or six columns
of figures seven or eight deep on the
blacklroard ami read them to him. He
could immediately repeal them backward
or forward, and bring asked the next day
if lie still iciiiciiibeTcd them he told them
off again without a mistake.
His fiowers of memory were noticed when
5 or 0 years old, ami lie could remember a
great number of little events from that
rly age. Ilia full power of memory was
attained at the age of about 1G. He knew
2<HI hymns and could sing ISO tunes, lie
could remember what he ate for breakfast,
dinner and supper for more than forty
years. He learned nothing by reading,
lint by hearing. His siglit was so defect

not read except very coarse print, and that

things President Merrick ssked him how
he did it, or if lie had any particular men

ruefully. A ride on an elephant is a

giggling children; and an atmoiH'

petually about tlie majestic brute,
and I knew that I should seriously com
promise my dignity by declining the hard
conditions twin born with greatness. But
I was anxious to avoid being rocked from

preferring to ride a hon-e. Suddenly the

was lead witli reluctant steps from a neigh
boring stall, and with polite consideration
of a sahib's requirements an old militaiT
saddle placed on his back. The hojsteft
dangled by a hit of string, and th»* stirrup
leathers had been re k laced by knotted
cords. At first Kosinante refused to move,
but the owner presently handed me a whip
resembling u mighty uail, between which
and my steed I soon discovered that there
xisted a close ami probably long-standing
intimacy. 1 no sooner nourished the one
than 1 produced a responsive tlounder in
the other, and ao we started across country.
My way lay across a plain uncultivated
for the most part, for the population is
reality in Bwr.dclkand, and only round the
villages is there a belt of cultivation ; the
rest of the land is left to the gazelles and
jackals. Half of the territory of the Ra
jah of C is thus left idle, in spite of
his attempts to induce tenants to come
cross his borders. But the simple cultiva
tor loves the field which ids father ami
forefathers tilled before him, and will not
migrate to a new country, and 6G0 to t>00
Hindus tax the earth for a subsistence on
every square mile round Allahabad.
I was getting tired of Rosinante’s stifl-
1 egged gamt>ols, and, being dialled by tlie
narrow saddle, had fallen to |M>ndering on
the superior qualifications tor cherubs ior
this style of horsemanship, when 1 came in
sight of Rajuagar. It is an old fortran
perched on a steep, stony hill; the stout
bastions growing out of the rock towered
above green gardens and cool tanks in the
hot, trembling air. From this fastness tLo
robber chiefs of old days used to sally with
their clan to lift their neighbor’s cattle ami
harry their villages. It waa a strong fort,
too, that could stand a siege when the
chief’s depredations became so troublesome
as to draw upon him a visitation from the
mogul army. A little village had nestled
close, beneath it, and the women
drew water at the well beneath its
shadow. Since ihc mutiny, however, it
has been crumbling ruins, and tin*
great iron-studded door lias been taken
oil its hinges, because the present Rajah
