A six year old child has been taken
to the Atlanta Medical College, whose
head, by actual|measurement,was thir
ty-six and one-half inches one way

forehead protruded about six inches
over the rest of the face, while the

was the head wider.

A South Carolina negro has been
doing a profitable business with n
phonograph.g&Ho put one of those
talking instruments insido a rude fig
ure of a devil and attached a spring
in such a manner that the cylinder
would revolve|on boing started with
out tho use of a crank. Thus provid'
ed, ho sot up as a fortune tcllor. The
negroes had never heard of a phono
graph, and its voico filled* them with
superstitious awe, particularly when
tho seer, having drawn from hisdupes
some information on the subject of
their calls, and|filled the machine with
astonishing answers, made it speak
oracularly.
At many points between Helena
and Vioksburg, the river is twelve
inches higher than was ever known
before. This u accounted for by the
fact that the Mississippi river has
overflowed its banks above Osceola,
Arkansas, ninety miles up the river,
and a large volume of wnter pours
through that country into the head
waters of the St. Frances river, and
again finds its wny back into the main
stream fifteen miles above Helena,
where the St. Frances river empties
into the Mississippi. Every planta
tion between Memphis and Friar's
Point, Miss., is submerged, and the
water extends bu.-k from either shore
fifteen miles. Planters are enduring
great hardships from the loss of stock,
by drowning. In nearly nil the over
flowed suctions, stock issufl’i ring, and
wlmt w. rt* saved are kept huddled to
gether mi hastily bnilt platforms.

line.
THELARGESTPEACH ORCHARD
IN THE WORLD.
The Griffin News publishes an in
terview with Mr. John D. Cunning
ham, proprietor of the famous Or
chard Hill farm, six miles from Grif
fin, from which wo gathor tho follow
ing facts: Tho orchard comprises 550
acres, on which nro growing over 60,-
000 trees, of which 50,000 are bearing
peach trees, bosidos about 6,000 apple
and penr trees. The land cost about
ten dollars an acre, and the trees
about teu cents each, making u total
cost, together with other improve
ments, of about $15,000, and the pro
priotor now says that $1 per tree
would not buy it Mr. Cunningham
stnted that his poaches not him about
$2 per bushel, the expressago to New
York being about $3.75 per bushel,
being considerably more than the en
tire cost of raising and marketing the
fruit Mr. Cunningham claims to
own the largest peach orchard in the
world. There is one in Delaware
nearly as large, bat Mr. Cunningham
expects to plant 200 additional acres,
and then no one will be able to dis
pute his claims.
ANHONESTCONFEDERATE.
What Senator Vest, of Missouri.
Says of Hie Past Record-
VANOE ON TARIFF.
Senator Vance, of North Carolina,
thus closes a masterly effort on the
tariff question:
Protection is like Aunt Jemimas’s
lyilytiyheyoHI-man,a back—the
more she tried to pull it off, the bard
or it stuck. It is the great political
tapeworm. It is an infant that gets
angrily jealous every time there is
new baby in the bouse. Great care is
taken not to allow the rising cotton
factories of the South to purchase
cheap machinery. Rich and pam-
pored manufacturers in New England
wore much harder to struggle against
than the horde of European paupers.
The South was tickled with the hope
of free apple whiskey some day, but
she preferred free cotton machinery.
A judicious lowering of the tariff and
utter extirpation of the internal rev
enue service was a disciplined politi
cal machine, to bedevil mountaineers
and carry elections for the Republi
can party. When Virginia Democrats
agreed to a debt paying policy, the
Republican Administration menaced
its myrmidons with dismissal, unless
they aided and abetted repudiation
Ho opposed the lop-sided commission
urged by Sonntor Morrill, because the
verdict on hog stealing wns to be ren
dered by men who had gotten some
of the pilfered pork. But as a sop to
Cerberus, bank checks, which the poor
never had, were to be released from
taxation, and matches were to go free,
for the benefit of saloon keepers. Pat
ent medicines were to have a day of
grace, and the American stomach wss
to becorno a wholesale recipient of
mysterious nostrums, whereby
speedy exit to tho grave was assured
This increase of mortality would add
to the protected valne of Vermont
tombstones and Ruthland Marble.—
Ours is tho grandest land upon the
planet, with its 700,000 square miles
of sun-kissed soil nnd 2,000,000 acres
laughing with grain harvests. We
had a new Egypt watered by a new
Nile, wLich bad gigantic development
even nndor repression. We reached
out our arms for an all-embracing
commerce, bat were stopped by a New
England spinning jenny I Protection
enriched one man at the expense of
ten others. Wealth is concentrated
and penury diffused by a prohibitive
tax tbat is unwise, unjast, unconstitu
tional. Give ns a free land, with free
labor, free ships and free competition.
Hon. Peter Cooper, of New York,
is ninety-one years old, and is as hale
and hearty ns you please.
" Mr. Pn sident, I was a Confeder
ate, honestly and earnestly; my whole
8oal de^pt-.i to the success of tbat
catue whirl, surrendered at Appomat
tox; and if I mention this personal
history now , it is only that I may say
most emphatically that I accepted,
without limitation or evasion, the fall
and legitimate results of that surren
der. All that I have ever asked, all
that I ask now, and all that the Sontb
•aka, is that we may be believed to be
honest in having espoused tho Con
federate cause, and honest in oar
statement of having accepted folly the
results of its defeat. Mr. President,
those who risked and lost all havo a
right to demand this, and it will be
accorded by every just and generous I
mind.” I
