jr-om the Smlthvllle News.
The famous Smithville band, as a token
of the high esteem in which the editor is
held by the members of that talented or
ganization, marched to the gate of hia ele
gant residence and tendered him a highly
complimentary serenade on Wednesday
evening last. The music was exeellent,
some of the airs rendered being the old fa
vorites—“Suwanee Biver,” “Annie Lau-
r j e ,” and one or two selections from “II
Trovatore” were given with fine effect.
After the conclusion of these delightful
performances, the editor appeared on the
balcony in his dressing gown, and ail
dressed the band as follows:
“Gentlemen of the Smithville Band:
Allow me to thank you for the marked
compliment you have paid a sleeping
citizen on this aus. icious occasion. I
never thought to he thus honored by you,
as I had not publicly announced my can
didacy -or the Legislature, and was on
good terms with the last one of you. What
nave I done to deserve it? I can only
answer—nothing. You have just aroused
me from a nightmare in which all my
creditors were utter me, and had just about
got the best of me, and my gratitude is
yours forever. The Smithville band is an
organization of which we are all prond.
From what I have heard this eve
ning, I am confident that it' can
keep any neighborhood awake
six nigh 8 of the week, and yet leave
them without rest on the seventh! Its
Orphean music can charm away, with
golden, melting cadence, the rude dreams
that haunt the pillow of the man who has
trifled with too much beef for supper; and
to-night it came o’er me
‘Ultc the sweet South
That brentucs above a hank of violets,
Stealing, and giving odor!”
“Gentlemen, you have earned your sup
per: Walk in and clean us out of house
and home 1”
Loud cheers greeted these remarks, and
the band then entered and regaled them
selves with well water, American sar
dines, and all the cold greens on the prern
ises.
VERY SNAKY.
Love
now Two Bloodthirsty Rivals In
Were Reconciled by a Snake.
From the Americus Republican.
Just a year before the war, in a little
town oi one of the houiiurntern States,
two young men lived, and had lived al
their lives. They grew as strong friends
as the fabled Damon aud Pythias. In the
same town was a beautiful young girl, and
in an evil time both the young men
fell desperately in love with her, and fell
more desperately into haling one another.
In fact, they never spoke to one another,
only to curse and revile. It was feared
that they would come to blows even in the
house of the girl they professed to love. “
Finally they decided to fight it out, and
appointed to meet in a grove a mile off
having no ono to witness the Beene, and
tiiu victor was to have the girl. The time
to fight was about four o’clock one Augu-t
afternoon, and tho weather of 1800 was
just as hot as this Augu t weather oi Is88.
One of the parties took his piste I, pro
ceeded to the rendezvous and Bat.down at
the foot of a tree to rest, and fell asleep.
He was awakened by the report of a pistol
to seo his hated rival standing about ten
ieet off with a smoking pistol in his hand,
while at his feet was a very large and ugly
rattlesnake, twisting and squirming in the
throes of death, He looked at the snake,
then at his enemy, aud jumped forward
with hand out-tretched, saying:
"John, I’ll give her up. I would rather
have your friendship than hate."
“No,” said John,” she is yours. Pleas. .
did not see anv sense in lighting lor a girl
without knowing that she > ;ir,.1 l.,r me,
and she told me frankly that she preferred
you, so I came to tell you and found that
serpent ready to kill you and I killed it;
we are always friends hereafter,” aud so
they remained until he fell at the first bat'
tic of Manassas a year or two later.
Continental Currency.
From the Warrenton Clipper. _
. Nome time ago Mr. W. J. I. Bivtere
Drought to the office what was to us, and
we guess will be to many of our readers,
quite a curiosity. It was a continental
currency seven dollar bill, printed in 1770
by Hall & Hellers, of Philadelphia. The
hill is nearly the size and thickness of an
ordinary playing card, though it is not
quite so stiff. It appears that it was not
made with the purpose of being folded or
relied. Our forefathers did not have as
convenient money as we do, but it is to be
hoped that they had more of it. Upon the
bill is printed: “This bill entitles the
bearer to receive Seven Spanish Milled
Dollars, or the value thereof, m Gold or
Silver, according to a resolution of Con-
{ ress passed at Philadelphia, May the 9th,
776.’’
This bill will thus he seen to be a little
over one hundred and twelve years old
and is doubtless of considerable value,
Mr Bivtere has had tevcral offers of small
amounts for this curiossity, but he prefers
to keep it, if he cannot get a handsome
twin, inr ,(
A Mlm Chance.
From the Brunswick Appeal.
Judge Symmes’ little four year old girl
this week came down to her papa’s office
and seeing him witli a lot of money, nat
urally began to look aronnd to see how be
made his money—all she' could see was a
lot of mu-ty books on the shelves, a dozen
empty bmr hot lies in the corner, aril Jim
my Dacey working away on a calagrapli
with the perspiration trickling off his nose
and chin. Seeing no solution to the prob
lem in these, she turned to her papa and
said: “Wliatdoyou make your money
out of?" The leartic t Judge smiled in
conscious pride and tapping his head with
his open hand, said: “Outyjf this my
daughter.” The idea of getting so much
money out of so small a cranium was too
much for the little girl and she laughed
heartily at the very thought.

From the Cumming Clarion.
We/do of course. On exhibition in our

The Lost Link.
Prom tho Americas Republican.
Joe Chamb iss says that several weeks
ago lie w as boring a well for a man a few
miles from Americus, and in pumping it
out dre-v up with the sand about a dozen
links of something that lookei like a rusty
chain hanging on to a bit of wood. The
well was over sixty feet deep, and lie says
lie sat down and puzzled his brains for an
hour trying to solve the mystery of how it
got sixty feet below the surface, of the
earth there. After a few hours exposure it
dried up aud crumbled away. He thinkB
that in the long past some vessel may have
been wrecked and this piece may have
been swept under the earth by some cur
rent or stream and deposited where he
rtsurrected it.
A Fatal Fall While Asleep.
From the Jesup Sentinel
Mr. J. B. (Jo lins, of Johnshm Station,
came to Jesup on Tuesday on the Jesup
express, and ab mt 11 o’clock he retired
ill Ils room at the Jesup House. At 3
o’clock a. m., his brother-in-law, Mr. J. II.
1’rice, found him lying on the street in a
pool of blood. It is supposed that he
came out of his room and lay down on the
piazza, where it was cooler, and in rolling
about fell, his head striking on the edge oj
the lower piazza iloor. He is in a critical
condition. The right side of his head is
mashed in, and his right cheek bone frac
tured. He also received an ugly gash on
lie back of his head. There are but little
hopes of his recovery. He has a wife and
three children.
Milk Tlirea Years Old.
From the Athens Graphic.
Mrs. Harvey who has been spendiug
some time in the country, reports a strange
incident. Sho says during her stay in the
country the party whom she was visiting
leaned out his weli, and among other
things that was found in the well was a
jug of milk, which was placed thereabout
three years ago. The milk was in perfect
state of preservation. While it was a liit'e
old and offensive it was os pure and white
as if it had been put there the day be
fore.

From the Carteravlllo American,
A good oue is given us from one who
overheard two gentlemen discussing the
farmers’ alliance and its effects in dificren
ways. They were a merchant and lawyer.
The former said to the latter: “If this
new movement accomplishes what is in
tended, the merchants will ho killed and
the lawyers put to work.” “Then,” said
the former, “i, will have the advantage of
you, for 1 am Bwainped if I hadn’t rather

A Hairy Cliki-eu.
From the Ferry Journal.
A chicken with hair, instead of feathers,
is, indeed, a curiosity, a ad there arc many
who could not he convinced that such a

shown such a chicken—at least it so ap

The chicken was black and white in color,
and was traded for in the country by Mr.
James Joice.

A FIEND’S CONFESSION.
ConvicJon of the Perpetrator of
Mysterious Murders*
City of Mexico, August 10.—Following
close upon the heels of the Britianti rob
bery trial in this city, comes another trial
in rucblo which has attracted more than
ordinary attention, from the fact that the
party who was before the jury was accused
of committing but a few more less mur
ders than “Clalequoro,” the Mexican
Biuehcud Boon to he hanged in this city.
For nearly nine years Pueblo society lias
been constantly in alarm, cau-ed by an un
known person continually committing
dark and devilish decCs. The police took
every known method of discovering the
author of the frequent murders and rob
beries, but were tumble to bring the mys
terious criminal before the courts of jus
tice.
Three criminal judges of the capital of
the State gathered data and employed the
eDtire oflico force against the unknown
criminal who would first commit a robbery,
then a murder and follow both with an
assault. Nobody knew the criminal; not
even those who suffered his assaults could
give any description that would add a
thread to his discovery. The police were
confounded in their vain investigations
and were unable to bring him before the
tribunal. Sometimes the robber would he
dressed as n rural guard, at other times os
rancher, and owing to the other disguises
assumed the police were constantly look
ing in the wrong direction for the criminal.
Finally the police of Pueblo, who have
been looking for the murderer since 1832,
were rewarded for their trouble by the
arrest of Juan I’ervz, \V. Leonards, Jis.
Hillards Contreras and Luz Antonial. The
criminals were immediately jailed, and
Manuel Diaz, Judge of tho First Criminal
Court, commenced porcecdings against
them. Perez made a confession. He said
that he had committed eight murders and
wounded ten or twelve persons whom he

overtakes me, a cert iin inability to find
the right word precisely when I want it;
and I find also that my Hank becomes less
sensitive to the exhilarating influences of
that spur to which I have just
alluded. I bad pretty well made up
my mind not to make auy more after-
dinner speeches. I had made up my
mind that 1 hail made quite enough of
them for a wise mail to spe k, and proba
bly more than it was profi’able for other
wise men to listen to. I e -nf-as that it
was with some reluctance that l consented
to speak at all to-night. I had been bethink
ing me of the pitcher und the weli mention
ed, as you remember, in the old proverb;
and it was not altogether a consolation to
me to think that that which goes once too
often to the well belongs to the class which
is taxed by another proverb with too great
leDgth of ears. But I could not resist. I
certainly felt that it was my duty not to
refuse mv6elf to an occasion like this—an
occasion which deliberately emphasizes, as
well as expresses, that good feeling _ be
tween our two countries which, I think,
“very good man in both of them is desirous
to deepen and to increase. If I look hack
to anything in mv life with satisfaction,
it is to the fact tliat I myself have, in
some degree, contributed— and I hope I
may believe the saying to be true—to this
good feeling.
You alluded, Mr. Chairman, to a date
which gave me, 1 must confess, what we
call on the other Bide of the water, “aralh-
er large contract.” Iam to reply. lam
to answer to literature, and I must confess
that a person like myself, who first appear
ed in print fifty years ago, would hardly
wish to be answerable f r ail his own liter
ature, not to epeak of tho literature of
other people. But your allusion to sixty
years neo reminded me oi something
which struck me ns I looked down these
taMez. Sixty years ago the two author
that you mentioned, Irving and Cooper,
were the onlv two American authors of
whom anything was known in Europe, an-i
the knowledge of them in Europe was
mainly confined to England. It is true
that Bryant’s “Water Fowl” had riready
begun its flight in immortal air, but
these were the only two American arthors
that could be said to be known in England.
An I what is even more remarkable, they
were the oflly American authors at that
time—there were and had been others
known to us at home—who were capable
of earning their bread by their pens. An
other singular change ia suggested to me as
I look down these tables, and that is the
singular contrast they afford between the
time when Johnson wrote his famous lines
abont those ills that assail the life of the
scholar, and by the scholar he meant the
author.
foil, envy, want, the patron, ami the
jail.
.And I confess when I remember that
verse it strikes me as a singular contrast
that I should meet with a body of authors
who were able to oiler a dinner instead of
begging one; that I have sat here and seen
“forty feeding like one,” when 100 years
ago the one led like forty when they had
the chance. You have alluded, also, Mr
Chairman, in terms which I shall not
qualify to my own merits. You have made
me feel a little as if if 1 were a ghost re
visiting tlie pale glimpses of the at >on and
resiling with considerable wonder my
epitaph. But you liaye done mo i
Ilian justice in attributing so much to me
with regard to international copyright.
You are quite right in alluding to Mr.
Putnam, who, I think, wiote the best
pamphlet that has been written on the
subject, and there were others you did not
name who also deserved far mule than I
do for tlie labor they have expended and
the ztal they have shown on behalf of in-
internitioual copyright, jiarlicularljr the
secretaries of o-.r international society—
Mr. Lathrop and Mr. G. W. Green.
And since I could not very well avoid
touching upon the subject of inter
national copyright, I must say that all
American authors without exception
have been in favor of it on the moral
ground, on the ground of simple justice to
English authors. But there was a great
many local, topical considerations, as our
ancestors used to call them, that we.are
obliged to take into account, and which,
perhaps, you do not feel as keenly here as
we did. But I think we may say that the
almast unanimous conclusion o’ American
authors latterly lias been that we should
be thankful to get any bill that recognized
the principle of international copyright;
being confident that its practical appiica
tion would so recommend it t-i the Ameri
can people that we should pet afterwards,
if not every amendment of it that we de
sire, at least every one that is humanly
possible.
I think that perhaps a little injustice
lias lieen done to our side of the question.
I think a little more heat has been im
ported into it than was altogether wise. I
am not so sure thatour American publish
ers were60 mui.li more wicked than their
English brethren would have been if they
had hid tlie chance. I cannot, I confess,
accept with patience any imputation that
imjifies that there ia anything in our cli
mate or in our form of government that
tends to produce a lower srandmd of mor
ality than in other counties. Tee fact is
that it has been parity due to a certain —
may 1 speak of onr ’ancestor- as having
been qualified by a certain dull
ness! I mean mi disre-p-ct, but I
think it is due to tlie stupidity nf i ur an
cestors in making a d.s inctien bclwien
literary property ssd other j.r ij.-crty. That
has been at the root of the whole evil. I,
of course, understand, as everybody un
derstands, that ait pro|wrty is the cr ature
of municipal law. But you must remem
ber that it is the conquest of civilization
that when property passes beyond the
boundaries of that municipiuni it is still
sacn-d. It is not even yet stcred in all re-
t-pecis and condition-! Literature, the

when you alluded just now to
what De Tocqueville sa d in
1828, you must remember t hat
it was only thirteen years after our war—
you must remember how long it bas oeen
to get in the thin end of the wedge of in
ternational copyright; you must remem
ber it took our diplomacy nearly 100 years
to enforce its generous principle of the
alienable allegiance, and that the greater
partof tho bit'crness which De Tocque
ville found Ln 828 was due to the impress
ment of American seamen, of whom some
thing like 1,500 were serving on board
English ships, when at last they were de
livered. These things should he remem
bered not with resentment, but forenlight-
enment. But whatever difficulties oc
curred between the two countries, and
here may he difficulties that are serious,
I dn not think there nmy bo any which
good sense and good feeling cannot settle.
1 think I have been told ofteA enough to
remember that my countrymen are apt to
think that they are in tlie right, that they
are always in the right; l hat they are aj.t
to look at their side of the ijuestion.
Now, this conduces certainly to peace of
mind and imperturbability of judgment,
whatever other merits it may have. I nm
sure I do not know where we got it. Do
you? I also sympathize most heartily with
what has been said by the chairman wi.h
regard to tho increasing love for Englnnd
among my countrymen. I find nn inquiry
that theyBtop longer and in greater num
bers every year in tlie old home and feel
more deeply its manifold charms. They
also are beginning to feel that London is
i lie centre of the races that speak Eng-
li-h, very much in the sense that Borne
was tlie centre of the ancient
world. And I confess tliat I never
think of London, which I also confess that
I love, without thinking of that palace
which David built, sitting in hearing of a
hundred streams—streams of thought, of
intelligence, cf activity. And one other
thing about London, if I may be allowed
to refer to myself, impresses me beyond
any other sound I have ever heard, and
that is the low, unceasing roar that one
hears always in the air. It is not a mere
accident like the tempest or the cataract,
hut it is impressive became it always in
dicates human will and impulse and con
scious movement, and I confess that when
I hear it I almost feel that I were lis
tening to the roaring loom of time. A
few words more. I will only say this, that
we, aN well as you. have inherited a c mimoa
trust in the noble language, which, in its
most admirable instrument of human
thought and human-feeling und cunning
that has ever been unconsciously devised
by man. May our rivalries be in fidelity
to that trust. Wo have also inherited
certain traditions, political aiul moral,
ami iu tioiug our uuty toward, these, ::
seems to me that wc shall find quite
enough occupation for our united thought
and feeling.

that ns if. may, the roois of trees, and even
portions of thiir trunks, are still
found in situ on that portion oi
beach nearest the Torquay railway station
Many years ago the Hitlers of ssd'cer were
dug up front the peat, and what has been
deemed to he remarkable, upon a part of
the antler- was a deep cut produced by a
metal implement. Manyrelicsnf thekirj
have been gathered since then; anil a few
days ago another ad :ition was made to the
store. The Torbay road separates the
heacii from a i iece of marshy ground be
low tiie railway station. Before the
construction of the roid the remains of
tlie forest ani the higher meadow and
marsh were coterininiious. This meadow
lias lately been acquired by the Tor
quay Recreation Company, who are
now putting tho ground in order. Last
week, while the workmen were cutting a
trench for the purjiose of laying in a cul
vert tliry came upon some large horns, a
skull nnd several bones that arc presumed
to be those of t deer. Tlie secretary of the
company has presented these curious re
mains to the Torquay Natural History So
ciety, and in all probability we shall soon
have nn nernuntof them from g?ntleincn
who are qualified to form an opinion as to
tlie unture of >he animal to which the
hones belonged. It is stated by a corres
pondent wlio examined these antlers that
at least one bore the marks of a cutting
tool.

Long Branch, August 10.—Mrs. Lang
try did not appear at the West End
Casino in "The Wife’s Peril,” as was an
nounced several days agn, and the Cliikl-
reu’s Fresh Air Fund will not he aug
mented by tlie large receipts anticipated.
Nevertheless the officers of ihe organi
zation believe the children will get just
os much Ireah air as they would have got
ten bad Mrs. Langtry packed the Casino
at sex shore charity rates.
Evidently the much-advertised lady be
lieves that charily begios and ends at
home, for the fresh nir people say it was
her exorbitant demands that compelled
them to abandon the performance. On the
West End piazzx, where the Lilly and her
boon companion nightly stroll, it was told
that when the officers of the society con
ceived the idea ol a large enterlaioment at
a finale of a series of private concerts they
.,pp:i<d to Mr-. I.atigtiy for a-i-tam-e, ■ \ '
peeling that she would volunteer her ser
vices, and several of them understood her
to accept the invitation.
The entertainment was announced nt.d a
subsequent rumor, seemingly well founded,
that it would really be her la-tapp-ar-nce
before the public prior to her marriage o
Mr. G bh i'd lent additional 'merest to tlie
affair and gave it that character of anrer-
lising «o p. i iilinr lo aitt.ost all Lmgtrj’a

.(iv red that the a-thetic beauty enter
tabled i.o more compassion for tlie swelter
ing urchins "f New York than she did for
Udouel S- lli-rs’., sore-eyed Asiatics. She
wanted stout all of the receipt*.
'Jiie fresh air ptople promptly declined
to wrap the luouey-iovtng beauty iu a
mantle of eliar ty, and it was announced
th <t owing to the difficulty of ornatilzing a
competent company the p< (format
would Is- indefinitely postponed. She
could have well afforded to even make
literal terms, hut theatrical managers say
she is one of the most grasping women iu
the profession. Her profits la t year are
tstiiitateii at $100,1)00.
Speak iug oi the West End promenade,
|i i,curiou- to hear he comments of the
gursis as Mrs. Langtry and her friends
saunter along the broad colonnade. Last
evening she appeared in a flowing robe of
electric blue, leaning on the arm of the
magnificent Baron Blanc. They were cer
tainly a striking coupie, and they robbed
Mr. Gebhard and Baroness Blanc, who
passed slowly behind, of their share of
pub ic attention.
“Mrs. Langtry seems to crave public
attention,’’.remarked a h&nd-ome and quick
witteii young married lady who was watch
ing tlie retreating figure of the actress.
