After a few days of painfull illness

husband and two year old little

Her last intelligible words were: “Lis

The Angie and Nellie has fully sus
tained herself as a tow-boat. One
day last week she carried out, at one
time, from Brunswick, against a
strong flood tide, two heavily laden
schooners. Whilst at the outer buoy,
she met two very large barks, both of
wnich she easily towed in together,
aguiust heavy wind and tide. For her
size, her towing capacity is wonderful
indeed.
To banish the cabbage worm, Mr.
A. B. Howard, of Massachusetts,
writes: “Saltpetre dissolved at the
rate of one and one-half to two ounc
es to a gallon of water, applied with
a sprinkler, will completely banish the
European cabbage worm. . It is not
only a sure cure for this nuisance, but
a special fertilizer in stimulating an
increased growth of plant” Try it,
truck-farmers.
“Are you not out of the world ?”
asks a correspondent, to which wo
answer, probably we nro. At this
point sail vessels from all parts of Eu
rope, from Finland to Spain touch;
so do vessels hailing from all along
tin: Atlantic coast, clear from British
Amt i lea to Rio in Brazil. We are in
double-daily communication with
Brunswick and havo Bis Savannah
connections a week. AVo are tho trad
ing point to the largest timber inter
est in the South, besides other credit-
atilc cuterprizes. If this be “out of
tiio world" then put us down as “out
of the world.”
Capt. Jim Posted is happy. He is
getting young faster than any man in
South Georgia. He has intioduced
into bis household a new instrument,
tlie urguinette. It makes good mu
sic, is turned with a crank and tho
notes »re produced by boles of differ
ent sizes, pierced in cardboard, which
revolves on rollers. As soon as Capt.
Jim ends his day’s labor, he turns the
crank of tho "morsheen” about two
hours. When perfectly soothed by
its melody ho falls into a peaceful
sleep that lasts till tho first crowing of
the last cock. He then wakes re
freshed and rejuvenated, ready for
another day’s work.
An old darkey, a leading member
of ihe Baptist church, who prays so
loud and long. as to become a nui
sance to his neighborhood, becamo
demoralized tho other day. Some
whisky “on the sly,” ran
to him in apparent alarm, informing
him that a posse of revenue men were
on the Island searching for “the illic
it.” This good qld deacon, who had
been on sticks for several months
from rheumatism, hastened home as
nimbly ns a sixteen year old boy, went
for bis jag under the bed, jumped
over tie hogpep at tho back ,of ilje
house, and pouted out two gallons” of
red-eye. This wns merely a ruse to
catch him. His name is now in the
bands of tho revenue officers.
Did yon ever see three girls go fish
ing in a boat? An old friend declares
that “girls has no business in a boat,
unless it is pulled up on shore. They
splash around, fuss and slam so that
they put an end to fishin’; when they
gits in a boat they squeals und yells,
closing with an abrupt dive and an ef
fort to sit all on tho same seat, with
tho inquiry, why the thing tops over
so. To the average wornau the cen
tre of gravity is always over in the
other country, and the idea of equi
iibriu-m never enters into her calcula
tion until the keel pops up ubove the
surface to see what's going on in
side.” We wore reminded -of (he
above by seeing a chap and twb girls
in a boat the other day. When they
tried to change places they both
walked on tho same side, and, al
though the water was not waist deep,
they both declared they were drown
ing.
“The biter bit.” Sometimes our
ehirography exceeds the bieroglypbi
cal. It puzzles the typo—he gets it
into a jumble and often funny mis
takes are made in our articles at our
expense. The kind hearted old gen
tlemen, who manages and owns this
paper, was moved to get something
rich in the shape of a joke on ns, and
at the snme time to rid bis office of a
nuisance, a couple of weeks ago. But
this ruse had rather a back-action ef
fect, not so fanny as first anticipated.
A printer tramp entered the office
pretending to be in search of work.—
Being in tho gift of gab and an oily
tongue, be boasted of bis many ac
complishments, among others, he nev
er saw a hand-writing he could not
read. About this time Capt. Dart, of
the Baby, brought over a batch of “il-
legibles” from us. The K. H. 0. G.
wns moved to give him a job and set
Mr. Tramp to work on our manu
script. At the first line Mr. Tramp
took the dry grins; the second, the
cold sweat; third, a chill. K. H. .0. G.
tooK him homo and had to nurse him
through a spoil of “do broken bone,”
at cost of many diicatn. Tho K. H.
G. now proposes to givo our
by hij mistress daughter, a yonng la
dy of twenty, who has learned in the
changed condition of Borne affairs, to
overcome greater difficulties than
hitching strange oxen to the family
cart. * l ,
"teem” was at lost made ready
tie family started out for.cbnrcb.
The o^en were restless and evidently
not suited for each, other’s strange
companionship. The “leading line,”
a necessary part of the “harness” to
an ox team in this section, had been
forgotten or lost. John could only,
with difficulty, beep bis “span” in the
road. Suddenly one of tho oxen
freed himself from the badly fitting
yoke and dashed off into the tangled
woods, leaving tho cart pitched for
ward in tho road, with its occupants
in an uncomfortable and unenviable
position. Their ludicrous situation
overcame tho seriousness of the Sab
bath, and caused peals of laughter to
burst from the younger members of *»
the family.
The ladies—thoro being no gentle
men in the party—assisted by the
negro boy John, hastily deployed; \T 171 \\r 1,1 fn */l f

through the woods to head off and
seenro the runaway ox. As they made
their way through the tangled brush,
tloir Sunday garments wore the
cause ol much solicitude mid care.—
The ox fortunately wns soon secured,
nud again “hitched up.” The negr
driver resumed his seat and found
time at intervals to rebuke the young
ladies for their unbecoming levity on
the Sabbath.
Ttie remainder of the journey was
safely accomplished.
And my good friend related these
experiences amid much merriment,
and with no trace of sad repiniogs for
tho “palmy days of yore,” when
blooded horses, tine carriages and ob
sequious servants conveyed them over
these same roads to ibeir place fot
Sabbath worship.

OOI.NO TO CHUItCIl ON ST. SIMONS.
One of our neighbors, tho widow
of a gentlemen who was a leading cit
izen in this country, the former own
er of a largo plantation au<l numer
ous negroes, and who was considered
wealthy before tho war, related to us
her experience getting from her home
to church on the last Sunday, a dist
ance of about six miles. Preparations
for the journey were begun suveral
days before.
Tho old ox cart, the only vehicle
left from the many conveyances of for
mer, better days, was put in order for
use. The faithful negro servant,
Trim, who now divides his tirno be
tween service for his old mistress und
the working of a small farm, and spec
ulating in poultry and farm products
on his own account, was repeatedly
cautioned to have the oxen diiveu iu
from the range to the yard, by Satur
day at the latest. The little negroes
were employed gathering from the
wide-spreading branches of tho live
oaks which surrounded the “old time
mansion,” the hanging moss, to be
used for fodder on the trip.
The negro boy having the oxen in
charge reported to his mistress on
Sunday morning: “Only one your ox-
eus in do yard, mam—du geo ox, mum.,
De odder ox, mam, is Trim’s ox. He |
do haw ox." ^ |
His mistress replied, “Never mind
John, yoke them together and hitch
them to the cart.”
John worked faithfully for a good
half-hour to acccomplish this. The
beasts were unused to each other, and
John was afraid of their horns and
