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 by I display oi the pore barbaric gold, tor they may wear os many bracelets aa 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.” Trylrg to Imprors tha Watermelon.

To en joy this delightful (ruit properly, select a dark green, (at one, with a yellowish spot where it has hugged mother earth.

Cat it in longitudinal slices, bring it on the table sur rounded by wild flowers and other fancy fixings, and yon will have a dish fit (or the gods. Some luxurious pal ates, happily accompanied by means enough to gratify their gustatory whims, find one or two bottles of cham pagne emptied into the almost frozen melons in place of claret, a decided im provement.

The w-.unded man WAS THE JUOOE HONEST er Cnie In Texis, Whsre “Undue In- nce"Wti8 8tranic«lr Interpreted* 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, A BLeCKSMI rH’S INVENTION.
