hour's solid cussin’, applied according

tifiable exasperation—and one that re
quires a vast amount of restraining
qrace to preserve the orthodoxy of our
reiigiouB system—is when a four-dollar
cow breaks in and eats up a ten-dollar
garden for us in one night. The tumult
that distracts and distorts a man's soul
under such trying circumstances is
harder to control than the air-pump of

Boycotting Atlanta Darkles.
Mr. O. II. Cochran hired eight hands
in Atlanta and brought them down to
his plantation on the river to chop out
his cotton, for which they were to re
ceive 40 cents an acre. They had not
worked but a tew daya before a com
mittee of colored citizens of that locali
ty waited on them and informed them
that their services were no longer
needed in that beat, and also informed
them that if they remained uutll the
next night they would use stronger
persuasion. The Atlanta darkies, ap
preciating the sitnation, retired to their
old haunts in the Gate City, convinced
that the Campbell connty negroes
don't propose to work all the winter
and snare the cotton chopoing with
his city brother in the summer.—Fair-

NEVER TOUCHED A DROP.
An Item,That Will Do for QaoCrtoh'e Third
Re.ider.
When Robert E. Hightower was ten
years of age, his father, Capt. J. W. F.
Hightower, said to him that if he would
not take a drop of spirituous or malt
liquors until he was twenty-one years
old, he would make him a present of a
fine horse when he reached his majori
ty. Roliert accepted theoffer, and well
-fid he keep his promise. He was twen
ty-one in April, and he said to his father
Friday morning that he would take a
good buggy in the place of the horse,
and his father said, "Go into my car
riage repository and select the best
buggy yon can find.” So Robert now
has a splendid new baggy as a reward
for his worthy example. The Captain
made the same proposition to his son
Capers, and he is now eighteen years
old and has never taken a drop of
liquor.—Thomatton Timet.

Death of an Old Slave#
“Turkey-Breast Jim,” an old negro
who belonged to the estate of J. J.

TOBACCO CHEWER8
May be Startled a Lima by th. Follow-
" Ing Statement.
A writer in the Houston Home Jour
nal says: As the people of Houston
county are often complaining of taxa
tion being so heavy, I will say to tho
young men that one of the heaviest
taxes a man has to pay is the tax ho
levies on himself, and that 1a tho nso
of tobacco. A boy thlnka he will never
becomo a man until he chews tobacco.
Let me insist that you mako a calcula
tion of what it wiU coat you. I know
ono man that the tobacco for himself
and the snuff for his family has coat
him $50 per year ever since the war,
and what it coat him before I don’t
know. He baa lived on rented
land and paid that tax for tobacco.
The principal and interest of that
amount for twenty years will amount
to $3,547.07, which amount would have
bought him a good plantation and it
well furnished. Ho is yet running a
ono-horse farm and renting the land
worked.
I hare chewed tobacco myaclf for
thirty years, and I have a right to know
what it costs.
A CUtlOUS ANIMAL.
Shtep from th. Plains of tArabla—What
They Look Like.
Master Theo. McFarland was tho
recipient a few days ago of a pair of
rather curious pets. They are said to
be the Arabian sheep, and are qnite un
like onr domestic sheep. They were
sent to Master McFarland by Mr. Harry
McGowan, proprietor of tbo Point
Breezo Hotel, Baltimore. They are five
months old. Each one has a black
head and neck and a white body. The
fleece U thick and soft. The animals
aro unusually docile, and made them-
selves at home in the stable and yard.
The most striking peculiarities about
them are a large pouch trader the throat
and lumps of fat on the rump on either
side of the toil. The pouch under the
neck serves as a receptacle for food,
which they masticate twice, as our do
mestic cattle do. It may alto serve as
a receptacle for water, which in some
parts of its native arid country te
■circc.
Mr. McGowan has a number of the
sheep as curiosities. Tho Persian
ibeep are marked with black head and
neck and tbe rest of tho body white.
They are very docile and affectionate.
There are several breeds of fat-ramped
sheep in South Africa, extending over
that continent and also to Asia. The
Ilottcnton or broad tailed sheep has a
abort, soft fleece and two large lumps
of fat on either aide of the lower part of
the tail, which are so esteemed as a
delicacy that various contrivances are
used to prevent them from dragging on
the ground. The fat-ramped aheep of
Tarimy and temperate Ada has a sim
ilar growth of fat upon the croup, and
long pcndulons ear*. The reason of
this accumulation of fat, sometimes 70
to 80 pounds, lias not been satisfactori
ly determined.—Savannah Newt.

While other towns and cities are
forced to bore great depths at huge ex
pense for mineral water, we simply dig

Little over one year ago Messrs
Homer and George Thsrpe left this

Mrs. Elizabeth Butt, of tliis place. He
is well and favorably known hero, be
ing a bright and intelligent mulatto,

mother received the sad news from
Hunter himself that ho had been ar
rested and carried to Greenville on the
chargo of murder, having killed a white
man at a negro frolic.
Your correspondent does not deem it
ecesaary to make any apology to yon
for reporting any attractions or improve
ments in onr beautiful and
healthy little town, for when
were straggling to build our
branch railroad (which was to us ev
erything) Macon alone offered us en
couragement and substantial assist
ance in the form of subscriptions,
while other towns and cities fought us
to tho bitter end; that, too, in the face
of the fact that we bad for years and

Into tne coffers of their merchants,

The year, which is now one-sixtieth
longer than its natural length, would
be restored to Its original measure, und
disease, strife, misery, poverty ami
vice would be dispelled from the
earth."
“How can the length of the solar
year affect the world’s mortality or the
condition of the people?”
“Owing to the slowness of motion of
thj earth in its orbit, the year has been
made longer, and the solar rays have
consequently increased effect upon tho
earth’s crust, producing at times epi
demics of cholera, fellow fever, ty
phoid fever, and other malignant ail-
mei»5."
“And you propose by artificial means
to obviate all these ills?”
“Exactly. Tho adoption of my plan
of equalizing the now unequal pressure
upon the earth’s surface would result
in fertilizing a tract of land on this
continent equal to the United States
and Mexico combined, not including
Greenland. Northern Europe, fully
one half of the continent of Asia, and
a vast area around tlie South pole are
bound up within the isothermal line
of 32. All this barren waste can be
reclaimed.
“We read in Genesis that ‘the Lord
God made the earth and the heavens
and every plant of the fields beforo it
was in tlie earth, and every herb of
the field before it grew;’ and histology
indicates that he forms all from pri
mordial cells. We observe general
harmony existing in nntnre, and there
fore Goa’s laws harmonize. We look
abroad on the earth and observe vio
lence, and as the result misery, pover
ty and vice among the inhabitants.
Now, God change th not. He is pat
ting forth cieative energy just as if
man was obeying him.
“Disease is the result of the cells
destined to fructify tho earth finding
their way into unnatural localities,
where they take root and flourish as
best they can.
“My plan is to take away from the
pole the vast amount of pressure there
and direct it through artificial chan
nels to the drought spots of the earth.
This will relieve the earth’s surface ot
the unequal pressure now exerted upon
it, find make of the deserts veritable
garetna of pleasure and plenty. Peti
tions are now being considered by the

PET ANIMALS OF NEW GUINEA.
Whare the Beautiful Crowned Pigeons
nnd Great Biue*8lrds Come From.
caeeeU'e Mfgaxlne.
In Australia the only big animal
which is not marsupial is tlie dog, and
this was probably first brought over by
New Guinea has not only dogs,
but pigs; and it seems to ns an odd
thing that the natives, though they
have dogs, should make pets of pigs,
Papuan women will nurse and fondle
a pig as an English lady carcases her
dog—though the dog! too, has been
considered on unclean animal. Dog*
are sometimes sacrificed in New
Guinea.
Australasia has another kind of
strange beasts, lowly organized, and
ranking even below the marsopiate.
Of these the best known is tbe famous
"OrnitkorUynochui paradoxus,” the
platypus or duck mole, which its first
discoverers hardly knew whether to
class aa • beast or a bird. After a
time another animal of tbe same eider
waa found, a kind of prickly ant ester,
and two specie* of tills creature were
found in New Gaines. There te, there
fore, every hope of finding new and
strange bcatte, to say nothing of other
animals. The birds of New Guinea
are bcantifui in the extreme; some of
them have been known longer than
their country; for hence comes the
wonderful birds of paradise, which
were brought long ago to Europe,
ih mgh living ti>ccimens, such as there
now to the Zoological Gardena, have
been seen there bnt seldom. Tbe skins
were sent to tbe West with tbe legs
ent off, whence aranae the fable that
there lovely creature, were inhabitants
of the air alone, and never settled tn
this doll earth at all. The splendid
crowned pigeons, great blue birds with
the stalefleat cream, several at which
may be seen at tha Zoological Gardena,
also come from New Guinea, where
they were first noticed by tbe iamoui
English navigator, Dampier.
