A long train of box ears front Ma

blanket—dead; the next is snoring
loudly; no, sleep, hut the coma of
death. As I carefully threaded my
way along by Ihe scant light, one
poor fellow uttered a fearful scream,
sprang half upright and then fell hea

“This maiijnust lie wounded in lii«
hrain,’' I remarked lo a neighbor.
“Don't know.”
“Where is lie from
“He is a Texan.”
•‘And where are you from?”
“Mi.-sis-ippi.”
While returning att hour or two
later, I halted, w ith better light, to see
my wounded Texan; lie was dead!
O’ 8 n'vant medical men are always on
the alert to verify their proguostica
lions;sd I carefully examined the
forehead and temples—all was dirty
and powder blackened, but there wa
ne wound found ;— ran mv hand all
over, and under his head ;—ah, yes, on
the back of Iris head there is' a boggy
feeling, ragged wovnd; but this is an
exit wound; where did the missile
enter? It required close examination
to discover that a bullet had struck
him plumb in the left eye without
cutting the eye lids. There is no doub!
this, poor fellow was shot while facing
the enemy, and with iris eyes wide
open ; peace and honor to iris dust!
Our squad were for several hours in
confusion; we (tailed, from Scriven
county, were recruits for a battalion of
"Rets”—Joe Brown’s Pets, as they
were called—that had been sent up to
Johnston's army a fortnight before,
made up nfloetd militia officers and
county officials; they Were in the
trenches, but whereabouts it was dit
fictilt to ascertain. We had a sub
officer who liatl charge of us, and
while lie was the whole of the fore
noon on the pad to find some one to
tell him wfaefe to put u«, we became
subject to tiie wiles of a man that fell
it; with us that morning. lie talked
very patronizingly, and in quite a
fatherly way. He had come up from
lower Georgia, ahead of his command
to sec if anything could be done to
save Atlairin. General Johnston had
been superceded because lie would
not fight. Hood had been defeated
on the 19th Hardee’s infantry had
marched out of the city before day,
and there goes now his artillery down
the McDonough road;—it ail means
evacuation. “I am going bark to
Macon,” said he, “will stop my com
mand there, and will take charge of
you men and put you under mv or
ders.” But for tiie fact that two or
three of tts knew something of this
man’s antecedents—his failure to get
into congress—his efforts to raise a
Confederate regiment* etc., We might
have had some discord in the squad;
as it was he went—We stayed. Some
time about noon, we we resent a mite
or two sontliwest of the city, mi the
east side of the Macon It B. and loca
ted lit an oak thicket, without tents,
rations or cooking utensils. .
Early in the tifloinoon we began to
notice ltow incessant tiie artillery roar
was getting to lie. It was east of
and several miles away. Distinct re
,
tiorts were scarcely observable; it was
a •continuous, wavy, slta king roar. We

on to foot al. the hilU. As she had
plenty , , of „ money and ., enjoyed . , the .. nov
elty ot being a countess, she did not
object, but when they reached Paris
she found that her husband did not
have a cent in the world. The de
mands for money grew more pressing,
and one night tho bride declined to
advance another dollar. Then the
count in his wrath beat her shamefully
with his hoot, and caused such a row
in the hotel that both were ejected.
The poor woman even then did not
leave her hrtila) husband, and on the
following day left with, him for Italy.
It is easy to foresee what will follow.
The count will drain his wife’s purse
of the last penny, and kick her out of
doors.
It would have been belter for Miss
ICuox if she had married some plain
American, without a title, without
even a grandfather. It would not
have been so grand a thing a.j being a
countess, but it would have been safer
and more comfortable.—Atlanta Con

.An Old Laud Ease.
The Litideh laud ease, just decided
by the supreme court in Washington,
lias been in litigation thirty-five years.
Had the judgement of the lower courts
been sustained and no retails involved
it would have taken seven years Io
(carry it through. As't is now, pretty
much every body, is dead that was
tnrigiudly concerned, and the value of
the propetv is mostly coinsttmcd by
lawyer’s fees. The lawyers predomi
nate in legislatures upon which the re
sponbiliiy for our miserable judicial
machinery rests. This probably large
ly accounts for the situation. It there
is anyone thing which above all others
needs common-sense treatment irt this
country it is the department of justice.
An infusion ot business blood is sadly
needed in our lawyer-clogged law
tnaking.r-Washington Star.
Terrible I'orevvai-nings.
Cottgli in the morning, hurried or
difficult breathing, raising phlegm,
lightness itt the chest, quickened pulse
chilliness in the evening or sweats at
night, all or any of these things arc"
the first stages of consumption. Dr.
Acker’s English Remedy for consump
tion will cure thejte fearful symptoms,
ami is sold tinder a positive guarantee

A single company in Florida ha;
purchaser! J2.000 acres oi land, which
wilt he devoted to tobacco culture.
'Ibis company began operations last
November and bus 791 acres of land
planted itt tobacco this year. It is
estimated that this land will produce
500,000 pounds of tobacco, which, it is
claimed, is equal in texture and appear
anceand superior in aroma to the gen
uine Sumatra leaf,, It has been detn
onstated that .the sml and climate are
in every way adapted to tiie successful
culture of tobacco. This being conce
ded, it is safe to say that the cultiva
tion of tobacep will soon become onc ot
tee chief industries in seotions ol Geor
