PIC NIC AT Ur. VANN-8.
On last Saturday morning, after being
satisfied that our “boss” was going to re
main in town, and would not be on hand
to watch us, we decided to respond to nu
invitation to attend a picnic to bo given
nonr the residence of Dr. Vann, about 16
miles from town, and after a good deal of
persuasion and kind talk a brother typo
consented to noooinpany us on our jour
ney. We made an early start and had
quite n pleasant rido through the eonntry,
reselling our destination about eleven
o’clock. On onr arrival we found quite
a number of ladies and gentlemen assem
bled, all seemed to bo happy, enjoying
themselves in every conceivable manner
in the shade of tho overhanging boughs
of the majestio trees which adorn the
beautiful grove selected for this festive
occasion. Our urrival was so late in the
day that wo had not been there n great
while before tho ladies, one aud all, began
busying themselves spreading tho doth
upon the spot selected for the occasion,
aud laying thereon dishes of edibles so vast
in variety and so delicate in construction
that it would lie too tedious a task for our
feeble pen even to attempt to describe
with any hope of success. In a few min
utes everything was announced in readiness
and all wore invited to partake of tho
feast, which was done, no second’invitation
being necessary to induce the many whoso
appetites were sharpened by the delightful
air and verdant w oodland, and tho deli
cious viands from that moment began dis
appearing with astonishing rapidity. Af
ter the bountiful repast was finished and
tho ololh and dishes had been cleared
away and deposited in their former recep
tacles, then did the pic-nicers again retire
to the ever welcome shade of the green
foliage, and enjoyed the balauoo of tho
day in a pleasant dunce upon a platform
which had been prepared for the purpose
beneath the brunches of a noble old
beach tree.
Everything passed off harmoniously
during the entire day; and as time passed
swiftly away, ere long wo were reminded
that night-full was approaching, and our
journey must be resumed. And after bid
ding adieu to our many friends of former
days, and the new acquaintances we had
formed during the day, wo went to work
to find our comrade, who liy this time, i
had become enamored with one individual, j
Ilia few minutes, however, wo found him,
and was soon on the road thinking of the ;
happy scenes behind.
Suffice it to say the picnic was a grand
success, and after returning onr thanks to
many friends for courtesies extendod,
wo leave the subject alone.
After leaving tho festive scenes, we
wended onr way to Tbomasville, a distance
of fifteen miles. There we met many of
our old friends, and spent a fuw hours
very pleasantly ;but by this time ’twas grow -
ing late, and our comrade being a citizen
of Tbomasville, we resigned ourself to his
keeping for the night.
As wo aro u pious youth, it is hardly
necessary to lay the programme of Sunday
before you.

It is in contemplation by the British

eighty-one tons. There is a probability
that the great coil of this monster cannon
may be welded In the presence of the

true history of tho late civil war has just
been received by Sir. O. T. Terry of
Quitman, and ho is now ready to furbish
i them to any aud nil who wish to mid this
valuable and interesting work to their
libraries. Surely tho officers and soldiers
who served under General Johnston, in
whom they so much confided, and to
whom they wero so much attached, will bo
eager to obtain one of his books, which
will bring fresh to memory their few com
forts and ninny privations. There is none
bettor qualified to judge of tho merit of
the tho worth and the truthfulness of its
contents than tho soldiers that marched
and fought nt his command-. And cer
tainly to thorn who ooquited themselves
witlis ro much honor, the truths ooming
from their commander will be rnoro inter
esting than to those who wore not en
gaged.
This book can only be purchased
through agents, it will novor be sold its
cheap productions aro in book stores.
This may be your last opportunity to ob

of Mr. Terry, will exhibit sample copies

Economy Is WcnlCH.
In those tight times, when it is necessary
to husband our resources, it is a pleasure
if a nook can be found where we can save
anything, more especially when it is money
that can be saved. Such a nook wo now
propose to call attention to, and our Indy
friends, as well as the male portion of our
readers, will do well to make a note of the
fact that Kaytou is offering goods nt lire
and let lire prices. He offers his goods nt
a small per (-outage above Now York cost,
thereby enabling all purchasers to make
larger purchases than heretofore. His
goods are all new, and being purchased
for cash ho can offer superior inducements.
As he keeps no liquors, ladies can call a
his store as well ns any in Quitman, and
be as well attended to. Remember you
oaunot hurt yourself by calling at Ivny
ton’s New York Btoro, and may save con
siderable money by doing so. 2t
A Woman Shoots a Brnaian.—Tbo
New Orleans Republican says that a few
nights ago the residence of Mr. Weiss, in
that city, was entered by two burglars.
The gentleman was not at home, and his
wife was iu bed. Tho fellows handled
her roughly, binding her and threatening
to kill her if she did not instantly inform
them where the valuables were stored. She
reluctantly complied, and the rascals Htolo
about eight hundred dollars’ worth of
property. Having procured the articles
and some money, one of them unbound
the lady, and tho two robbers hastly re
tired, but their movements were not so
rapid as the lady’s. The instant their
backs were turned Mrs. Weiss secured a
pistol aud deliberately fired at one of tho
retreating figures, and her aim was good,
as subsequent events proved. One of the
villains returned as she fired, and seized
hold of her, but, her clothing being thin,
she succeeded in releasing herself, then
ran to the front door and cried for help.
On this both burglars escaped. On mak
ing an examination of the premises. De
tective Pecora discovered that the pistol
had done its duty, as blood was found in
several places, and there wero sigus that
tho wounded man stumbled over tho stove,
either iu consequence of the wound or be
cause of his haste.
A reirrr.An clergyman of Buffalo re
turned from an extended journey a few
days since, and jnst as he alighted from
the cars and was receiving tho congratu
lations of a crowd of delighted pension
ers who had assembled to greet him, an
inebriated individual followed in his wake,
seized him by the hand, and exclaimed;
“Well, good bye, old pard, I'm goiDg
further, and shall keep up the same old
drunk for a while yet, but you’re pretty
well sobered up, and you had better keep
so, 1 'spect, as drinkiu's rough when a fel
low’s ’round home. But you know how
to go on a gallus spree and have a rum
time just as good as any pard I ever had,
and you has my respect. Day day, old
buster.” Before the astonished clergyman
could gather his wandering with the hail
fellow was off, leaving a terrible scandal
for tlu> delectation of thegossipsof Buffalo,
and a prospective candidate for tho lunatic
asylum.
A dog was accidentally present during
divine service in a Scotch kirk, where the
worthy minister was in the habit of speak
ing very loud in the sermon, and, in fact,
when he got warmed with his subject, of
shouting almost at the top of his voice. The
dog, who, in tho early part had been very
quiet, became quite excited, as is not un
common with some dogs when hearing a
noise; and from whipping as the speaker’s
voice rose loud and strong, at last began to
bark and howl. The minister, naturally
much nnnoyod at the interruption, called
upon the beadle to put out tho dog; and
he at once expressed his readiness to obey
the order, but could not resist the tempa
tion to look up to the plupit, and to say,
very significantly, “Ay, ay sir; but indeed
it was yoorsel’ began it.”

negotiate the purchase in behalf of the company
of large mining interests in Sonora, (Jhihnunua,
New Leon, and indeed, tho entire tier of North

the Sierra Madre. It is well known that these
mines are the richest on the continent. Hereto

them! has been done in England. It has been the
means of establishing commercial relations be
tween tho com>t~ieH of many hundreds of millions
of dollars. The bullion is sent to England and
returned m the shape .of coftoh fabrics, prints
and colored goods.- This trade properly belongs
to the United States, and before the inva :ion of
Mexico in 1846, a large portion oi it came here.
It in now sought to divert it into logi'tfrnato
channels again.
the New York Sun'ft Utah correspon
dent says'/ “Salt Lake is some miles from the
city. I visited it. The name is apropos. It isn’t
necessary to embalm a man to make him keen if
he has ever been soaked in that water. One
teaspoonful once a day taken internally would
turn a man into corned beef hi less than a week.
Mashed potatoes dropped into the lake come
up codfish baHs inside of three minutes, and an
old boot leg becomes mackerel in two hours.
Three barrels of that water make one barrel of
salt—that is, according chemical analysis, My
judgement, unsupported, would load me to sup
pose, from tasting it, that one barrel of water
would make throe barrels of salt.”
The ITcralA says the birds have made Porno j
rich. According to news just received from
Lima tho guano deposits, as ascertained by Pe
ruvian engineers and the officers of tho British
war vessel, the Peivel, amount to $7,650,500 cu
bic metres, This may be worth at least a hun
drd million dollars, and probably much more.

A painter once wanted a picture of in

beside his mother; the palms of his up
lifted hands wore reverently pressed to
gethor; his rosy ohoek spoke of health,
aud his mild blue eye was upturned with
tho expression of devotion and pence.
Tho portrait of young Rupert was much
prized by the painter, who hung it on his
study wall, and called It “111110001100."
Years passed awav, and tho nrtist bo

there. He had often thought of making

had not found tho opportunity. At last
he effected his purpose by paying a visit to
a neighboring jail. On the damp floor of
