THE FOURTH CEORCIA.
The Reunion Meld In Ml.lsagavllle on
Wednesday.
Milleboeville, August 13.—The re
union of the Fourth Georgia Regiment
took place hore on Wednesday. There
was a large representation of the vet
erans, and many of them have scars
received in the battles for their coun
try. The Baldwin Bines, of this place,
accompanied by the old soldiers, formed
in line and marched to the depot to
meet the veterans. On the arrival of
tlie train on the Macon and Augusta
railroad, a salute oi thirteen gurot was
fired from the old capitol grounds.
Alter the march from the depot to the
college chapel the meeting called
to order and Capt. Fletcher Sneed, of
Oglethorpe, was chosen to preside, and
Mr. C. T. Fowler, oi Atnericus, an
aide de-camp of General'Dotes, was re
quested to act as secretary. Rev. A.
J. Beck, chaplain oi the Baldwin Blues,
delivered the opening prayer, followed
by an address of welcome by Captain
J. W. Butts. He made an interesting,
and to the veterans, a son! stirring
speech. Yell after yell followed his
reference to Gen. Doles and Stonewall
Jackson.
Mr. Roland B. Hall, of Macon, ra
llied in eloquent and touching remarks
o Captain Batts.
Captain Fletcher Sneed next re
sponded in loving terms of old Mil-
ledgeville and his attachment to the
very ground that ownod^ the bodies of
his ancestry.
Dr. Philpot, of Talbot, the surgeon
of the old Fourth, spoke next, and bis
remarks were none the less eloquent
and appreciated by being full of wit
and humor.
Among the others who made brief
but appreciated speeches were Colonel
R. C. Humber and Captain Carson.
At the conclusion of speeches Mrs.
General Doles by special request
came forward and received the kind
words, good wishes, and hearty hand
shaking of all her dead husband's fol
lowers present, during which time
some one struck up that old familiar
song, “In tho Sweet By and By,’’ and
ail joining in, making the hall ring,
and liMMts melt to tears.
Mjfc Doles was very much affected,
but Bare the flow of sentiment express
ed with a super-human fortitude.
After this the veterans went into
convention for business peculiarly in
teresting to themselves, and at ‘
o’clock. After their adjournment they
repaired to the Oconee House, where
our citizens had prepared a bountiful
repast for them, and we think they did
themselves and the dinner justice. At
any rate all seemed jovial and well
pleased. About eighty of the old sol
diers wero present, aside from those
in Bald-
residing i
dwin connty.
THE BELLES OF SUMATRA.
Barbaric Coin the Principal coverlrg of
Prlnoeta's Booiaa.
London Dally News.
In several parts of Sumatra the Marga
is the state occasion of the tribe, and
at it are gathered ail the notables of
the neighborhood. There seems to be
no exclusion of the ladies on these oc
casions, however, and the appearance
of a portion o! the audience is thus de
scribed:
“The centre oi attraction is the
long line oi maidenhood, glit
tering in silver and gold of native
workmanship. The hair ol each girl,
neatly arranged and odoriferous from
an abnniUnce of cocoannt oil, is tied in
a knot behind and transfixed by a high-
backed comb overlaid with gold plates;
her head is crowned with a coronet o
told, of form and magnificence suited
» her rank; a shawl worn sash-wise
hangs from tho shoulder to the ground,
while from above the middle bangs a
rich petticoat of homespun silk, inter
woven with gold thread and decorated
with hundreds of coins of the Dutch
mint, which jingle pleasantly os she
dances. Above this the body is girt
with a silk scarf, half concealing the
bosom.
“The arms, shoulders and chest are
bare, except lor the numerous collars
and necklets and bracelets and other
ornaments ol gold and ailver which ahe
wears,or rattier with which ahe is load
ed. Often these collars are composed
entirely of the large dollar pieces oi
Spain, Holland and Mexico, or oi Eng
lish half crowns. Of the highest bora
maidens, the arms from the wrist to the
shoulders aro almost concealed by the

they choose,while their sisters less for
tunate in the matter oi blood and rank
most conform to the regulation
number corresponding to tiieir de
gree. The beast is overlaid with cres
cent-shaped gold plates, suspended in
tiers; the waist is circled by a belt of
precious metal secured by an elabor
ately carved buckle of the same mate
rial. The fingers are encircled with
many rings, and even the nails are
lengthened by additions of silver to
talon like claws, so that, altogether,
the Lam pong maiden presents a daz.
sling appearance. The cost oi such i
coetnme represents no mean awn; it is
not uncommon for a girl to have aa
much as £100 sterling of ornaments
about her person at a festival.”

er Cnie In Texis, Whsre “Undue In-

New York Ilerald.
The Supreme Court of Texas has just
set aside a verdict on the ground that
the jury was “unduly influenced’’ by
the caustic manner in which tho Uwyer
on ono side spoko of the client on the
other. The case was an action for
damages for personal injuries brought
against a railroad company by a pas
senger named Hancock, lie recovered
verdict for (15,000, and the company’s
lawyers moved to set it aside “because
oi certain remarks made by the plain-
tifFs counsel in his closing argument to
the jury.” The|remarka were oh follows:
“Gentlemen, this rich corporation
has employed able counsel, who come
hero and denonneo Hancock as a fraud
and a liar. More than that, they cast
aspersions on the good name of his
wife, by this man Protect—ono of tho
defendant’s witnesses—who swears
that while lie was gathering up the
tail end oi his family at church a cer
tain conversation between himself and
plaintiff occurred which I will not
repeat. I tell you, gentlemen, such
testimony and bucU a defense as that
aggravate this case. Not content with
having injured, crippled and ruined
him for life, they come into court and
riiliculo his injuries, denounce him as
a fraud and a liar and cast aspersions
upon his family. You should compen
sate him for this, gentlemen. Yon
should tench this rich corporation that
they shall not make each attacks upon
the fathers of this country.”
In making these remarks the plain
tiff’s lawyer was hat exercising the
time-honored prerogative oi his pro
fession to abuse the other aide, and his
attack on the company was evidently
a good deal milder than that made by
the company’s lawyers on his own cli
ent. Nevertheless the Supreme Court
held that “prejudices oi the jury were
unduly aroused,” and set aside the
verdict. This will he apt to etrike
lawyers throughout the country as a
queer ruling.
A PENNSYLVANIA RIP VAN WINKLE.
Lost In n Strange Ineanltr Since the Last
Days of the War.
Chicago News.
If onr novelists and play writers who
are eagerly searching for foundations
on wliich to construct their stories
would give their attention to the case
of Mr. Charles S. Kingsley, of Mans
field, Fa., they might find it capable oi
sustaining a structure as entertaining
ns Irving’s story of Rip Van Winkle.
Kingsley was a soldier in the late civil
war, and was so badly wounded about
the head that his sknll had to he held
together by means oi silver plates,
Soon alter these plates were adjusted
about twenty years ago, he becamo in
sane, and was placed in an as
Washington.
A few days ago it was discovered that
one oi the plates was pressing against
his brain, and it was at once removed,
whereupon reason began to return, and
tbe veteran soon becamo perfectly
sane. But tho twenty years during
which that piece of silver was pressin;
against bis brain bad been placket
from bis Hie, so to speak. He bad no
recollection ol anything that has oc
curred in that time. The war to him
is a thing oi to-day, and he
is as bewildered by the changes
hn finds as old Rip was
when he returned to his home in the
Catskills alter bis twenty years’ nap.
But Kingsley is better off than Rip was,
(or while he has been asleep time has
gone on making a fortune (or him. The
back pension to which he ia now enti
tled amonnta to nearly (20.000, and, in
addition to this, lie is entitled to (73 a
month-as long as he lives. Moreover,
and bestoi ail, he has found his family
intact, though in destitute circum
stances, at hit old home in Mansfield,

he might do by machinery what here

can strike, and can be made at will to
strike as light a blow as may be
needed. Bat the nse ol this simple and
cheap device In the blacksmith's shoos
is not half. It can be just os easily
used, and will find s large field oi use
fulness, in driving a drill for blasting
rock. In its present form, without any
change, one man can drive a drill per
pendicularly as easily as three men
now do tbe same work. By a very
simple and easy plan, hammers can
be provided ana attached, which will
make it just as easy to drive a hole
horiz intally or at any required angle,
and the whole work can be done by
one man. The machine ia portable
and need not be very heavy.
