Why he Didn’t Explain- Som** eight or ten years ago a sil [ very-tongued chap who claimed to be | a fruit tree agent swindled the farmers of this county in a shameful manner, and one resident of Nankin was so mad about it that he came to Metro, it, searched the rascal out, and gave him a pounding on the street. After he got through his work he told the fellow that he would lick him twice as had if he ever put eyes on hint again and it was a threat to be remember* ed and nursed. About three weeks ago the Nankmman was travelling in Washtenaw county, and as he jour neyed along the highway he met a traveler who so closely resembled the fruit-tree swindler that he halted and called out : Here you are again, you bold faced rascal 1 Yes, I’m here, was the calm re ply. Well, so’m I, and I’m going to lick you until you can’t holler ! I said I’d do it, and I always keep my word. Climb down here. The stranger “dumb" without a protest, shedding his coat as he struck the ground, and a fight began. In about two minutes he had used up the farmer and was cooly replacing his coat.’ See here, s <id the man from Nan kin as he wiped his nose with a bur dock, you fight better than you did eight years ago. Well, I dunno. This is my first af fair with you. Didn’t I wallop you in front of the Detroit post office eight years ag* ? No, sir, I was in Australia up to a year ngo. Aud you nevor saw mo before ? Never 1 And was never in Fankiu? Never 1 Well, I'll bo hanged* Sinco I come to look a', you I can eee that yon aro not thn man! Why on earth didn’t von explain, or ask me to? You must nave thought mo mistaken. Ah, you, I Knew you wore mista ken, but I had just discovered that I had driven sovon miles on the wrong road and was wishing some one would come ntong aud give mo two words of ease. I didn t want any explan itioim about it. A rot ten sweet apple will cure that black eye in throe or four days, and salt and water will tighton your frnt terth iu a week or so. I lovl fifty per cent better, and I'm over so much obliged. B*'long to you.— Detroit Free I’resH. Georgia export- co toi r c*, 1 mil er, iron, wool, naval stores, water-melons, sweet potatoes, early vegetables and peaches. We should not import eith er meats or breadstuffs, and very soon we will not. We need not in the good days a coming import anything except some kinds of manufactured goods and machinery. The balance of trade is this year in our favor, and in the years that are to follow ft ought to he largely so. If. in other words the farmers {of Georgia would avail themselves of home maikets for meats and breadstuffs the state would grow rich faster, perhaps, than any state in this country ever did.

A Strange Animal. From the Sumter, O-i., Republican. Policeman J W Cobh, while fish ing in the Muckalee one day last week in the rear of Ed Littleton's place, wits startled by tlio appear ance of a largo animal on the oppo site side of the creek which came out ot the jungle of the swamp. He suyg it was about threo foot high six or seven toet long, with a short tail and spotted all over like a hyena. The animal looked nt him, stretch itsoll on its legs, opened its mouth which wits armed with formidable tusks about as long as a man’s fin gers. The animal wont behind a tree and peeped at Cobh for a few seconds and then disappeared iu the ctnebrake, and Cobb mado tracks for the city nt race horse speed, although hs declares ho was not scarod a panicle, was as cool as he was whon he captured General Walker. He says that bo dot s not know what kind of un animal it. was at first ho thought it a tiger, then a hyena, or a catamount, and it might have been a leopard. Ordering Two Coffins. Philadelphia Record. Ou Saturday morning last Mrs A II Evans, of Tower City, Pa , died. Mr Evans began making arrange ments for the funeral of his wife, ami visited the establishment of Un dertaker Dreisigncker to select a coffin. Tho undertaker bad on’y two caskets on band, both of rose wood. Mr Evans examined tho caskets fora fow minutes. Finalfv, pointing to one of thorn, he said: ‘That ono will d*> for my wife,’ and, laying his hand on the other, ‘This one (or mo.’ He then returned homo to await th** arrival of his son Milton. Tho young man arrived between 4 and SJo’clook in the af ternoon. His father met him with tho intention of breaking as gently ns possible the news of the mother’s death. Grasping his son by tho hand, he said: "Your motlior is ,‘ Without concluding tbo soulonoo bo gave a convulsive shud der and fell back (load. A Beautiful Thought. There is no'hing, no nothing, inno cent or good, that dies and is for gotton ; let us hold to that faith or none. An infant, a prattling child,dy ing in the cradle, will live again in the better thoughts of those that loved it, and play its part through them in the redeeming actions of the world, though its body is burnt to ashes, or drowned in the deep sea. I-'oi gotten f Oil, if the deeds of human creatures could be traced to their source, liow beautiful would even death appear! for how much charity, mercy and pu rified affection would be seen to have their growth in the dusky graves.—• Dickens. The costliest pair of shoes ancf stockings ever heard of are said to have lieen worn by a New York lady at the White Sulphur Springs during the season just closed. The shoes cost #39, and the stockings were val ued at #9O. They were made of black silk, anil midway between the ankle and the knee was a green tree embroidered in silk, and resting upon the branches of the tree were bright pl'.'.maged birds, some in the act of (ly ing. Oh fbc 'bulge' or largest part of the stocking was a huntsman, clad in red thirt and trousers, taking aim at the birds in the tree. Upon the in step was the monogram of the lady wrought iu gold letters, between the knee and upper part of the stocking were eighteen narrow bands Of vary ing hues; A reporter tells this story but he does not explain how he ob tained the description.
