About this timeCleveland decided to put the matter of the care of the mother and child into the hands of some one on whom he could depend, and ebose Judge Burrowa of our city, a gen tleman advanced in years, and of high auudi.ig in the community. One day the rrp rtw» brought to Judge Burrows that the soman was in a high atsto of excite meni through drink. Me, without Cleve I mil's knowledge, sent detectives to the home, who, on their own responsibility, took the woman to the Providence Asy lum. where the was kept but a short lime, tad the cbllil was taken to the Protestant Orphan A.yhuu. Cleveland then gave the woman means to start in htudne-s at Ni- if-ars. She did no. stay there long, how- erer.retu n ng to Bufla'O. where "he fre q leafy visited and Una'ly abducted the cnild froui the orphan asylum. The woman then consulted Milo A. Wbitnev, a well-known lawyer of our city, with Merenre to bringing suit against Cure land Soon after a brother-in-law came on from the Best, snd the matter, su far as the woman was concerned, was set- del by a payment of $5(J0. sho agreeing to sorrei,dsr the b- y.

Vary absence from the room; In a moment Mr. Cumberland proceeded to the place and plucked out the pin. Lady Mandevtlle's teat afforded infinite amuiement to the company. Mr. Cum berland correctly interpreted an idea she had in her mind by taking up a biscuit and putiing it in Mr. Sykes's mouth. Mr. Cumberland was next successful in telling the number of a note thought of by the Italian ambassador, and locating a pain in the body of Lord Castlereagh. A curious hunt In which every one present heartily joined —after an nnnsmed object in another part of the house, with Baron Rothschild nnd the Italian ambassador ossnbjects, formed the next demonstration. The ob j“t selected was a portrait of hie Royal Higbnees the Prince of Weles. A special teat was the following one, perfoi med with the Prince of Wales, who undertook to think of an animat, which Mr. Cumberland should endeavor to de scribe. "I am no artist,” said the Prince, ''but I will do my best to think of the way in which the animal should be drawn/’ Mr. Cumberland thereupon took the Prince by the hand, and in a few moments drew upon a piece of paper a rough outline of an elephant, which, it turned out, was ac’u- ally the animal thought of. Mr. Cumber land received the congratulations of all present at the conclusion of the exhibition. LULA HURST IN BROOKLYN. Umal Boy Astonishes the Audience by Pushing Her Around the Stage. N. Y. World. For two hoars last night s good-natured Brooklyn audienco sat in Hsvcrly's Thea tre and guyed Lula Hurst and her black- moustached young manager. The youth at the piano was the only periormer who was not guyed. Lula looked warm as she sat robed in a silk dress of immaculate whiteness. Paul Atkinson tried to make a funny speech and talked of mysterious K ower and psychic force and egan to tell a long pun, wbicli bo hammered out of shape and then sat down. Two very old gentlemen, one of whom was Dr. Adams, a well-known physician, went upon the stage and were soon followed by others. Attbeendof the circle of chairs sat s youth scarcely 10 years old.

The little fellow jerked Miss Hurst all over the stage ana hauled the umbrella at will and, inspired by applause, he pushed the wonder back to the wings. Seeing herself overpowered, Miss Hurst resorted to one of her dodges and deliber ately snapped oil the handle, thus destroy ing the youth's hold. The most amusing character was a raw- boned, dark man who wore a pair of what the hoys called "sluggers” on his cheeks. He tried to make a speech. "I weigh 188% pounds.” he said, and I don't under stand”— "Perhaps if yon find the other half pound yon will,” was the uncouth remark that entailed him. A young fellow with bis locks of hair plastered down on his forehead and parted in the middle took a haud in. The wonder gazed sympathetically on him,and cries of "Cashl* ''Cash!" "The next waltz,” robbed him of his strength. He grabbed the chair and the wonder in an undertone said something to him, when a voice from the corner called oat: "Oh, ain’t it nice!” Tbe salesman measured his length like a piece of calico on the floor and left. During tbe chair act it was plainly visi ble to those seated in the front rowa that Miss Hurst breathed bard and held a good grip on tho chair with the muscle of her thumb against her palm. Long Distance Trotting. Mr. Jcromo Donaldson, of New York, arrived in Cincinnati last week to get possession of some horses on which ne held a claim. Among them was a val uable pair of handsome bays, said to trot in less than '1:33, but which are without a record. While discussing the merits of the pair with a number of gentlemen at tbe Grand Hotel, Mr. Donaldson making comparison with an other pair owned by one of the gentle men present, ventured the statement that no could beat the record claimed for his friend’s team for long distance driving. A wager of $100 and a cham pagne supper for the party was in stantly inode that Mr. Donaldson’s horses would not go 30 miles inside ot two hours and nfte«ti minutes, Mr. Donaldson to drive and Dr. T. A. Liv ermore, of Nashville, Tenn., to accom pany him as judge. The team was or dered at once, and at 1 o’clock the two gentlemen started from the hotel en trance, nothing having been said aa to the direction or road to bo taken, the distance to be decided alter tho drive. Mr. Donaldson, taking advantage of thisomisssion, drove along tho [ave nue to Chester Park, and made the circuit of the track 40 times for 20 Then, allowing ten miles as the distance to and from the track, the team was headed for the hotel, arriv ing there precisely at 5:57, having made the required 30 miles in 1:57. Dr. Lircrtnore decided that to the best of his judgment the horses Imd gone the 30 miles. The loser ot the bet, ,Col. John K. Strong, of Nashville, im mediately paid the money and ordered the wine to be put on ice. There waa a good laugh at the Colonel’s expense when he asked where the team was driven. Mr. Donaldson replied: "Around the Chester Park track/' • IHE NEWS IN GEORGIA. Dalton is said to lie entirely free from baseball. We should like to live in Dalton. It requires a combination of several of “the oldest inhabitants” to recall a cooler July than the one just gone. It is said that tbe small grain crop of Lincoln county will amount to 105,000 bushels. There are wise farmers in that old county. What has become of tlie project to build a railroad from Dawson to Alba ny? Do good movements, like good people, die young? The aggregate of property values in Richmond county thiB year ia $10,886,- 100. This is a gam over last year’s re turns of $202,800. The number of polls Is 7,513. The showing is a good one for the county. Tiie crop in Pulaski is thus summed upby tho llawkinsville .Veter: "The corn crop is safe, and the cotton weed is doing its utmost to grow fast enough to accommodate the many bolls that persist in clinging to its limbs.” Some men in Walton county can lie bought whole soul and bddyfora drink oi whisky.— Walton Afetcs. And the price is about the only thing in the world that would be more worthless than the purchase. There are, in Georgia, a good many jiconle who believe that newspapers ought to he published free, with the postage prepaid, in order to relieve the newspaper men of the suspicion of be ing greedy tor gain. ■ Cotton ia shedding squares and bolls, and the air begins to he filled with lamentations. Cotton never fails to shed a part of its crop, whether tho weather be wet or dry. It could not possibly mature all the forms that it produces. The Walton Neu» is one of the best and truest Democratic papers in the State, and deserves a very wide circu lation. Its Democracy is of the old- fashioned sort, and that is the only sort that is worthy of the confidence of the people of Georgia. "It rained the first dog day, and terly failed since the first "dog day, at least in these parts. Signs don’t seem to be worth much these days. At a meeting of the Confederate Sur vivors' Association in Augusta a letter from Mr. Davis was read. He is the truest and greatest of Southern men, living or dead, in the estimation of the writer.

This fruit may be good when allowed to ripen on the trees before being pulled, but we con fess never to have seen any specimens of it yet that were fit to eat, according to our taste.

August 8.—Quite a good crowd ol boardera and cabin renters are here to enjoy the warm batlis. The old Hamilton residence, removed from Bine mountain, still answers for the hotel proper, while numbers of cabins increase lodging room.
