An exchange says, “that a series

ladies tdtnke hands with more vigor

‘ shaking business before, bat as to tne
ratio of pressure «»f. men to women,
i u*e have been ’it doubt, and we are
! glad to have the matter settled.
When we were a young titan, and in
; the pressure busine-s, we could never
settle the question satisactorily which
: of ns accomplished the greater amount
of pressure, ourselves or the girl; hut
: we can truthfully say that we always
i performed our part, honestly, and
; there still lingers about us a sen&tion
i that the girl put in a few good licks

HABITl.
The Dude is wholy given over to
preemusnevs, exquisiteness and all
suprremineut pursuits. All he asks is
permission to carry out his scheme of
life, and to indulge his eccentricities
of laiinentof camel’s hair. He does
not elbow i.is way into
SOCIETY,
for, as a rule, he is entitled to preced
ence there; he d«»e*not covet notorie
ty, bu» b-i*ks like a png in ihe midst
of it. He likes to walk arm and arm
with a
twin dcde
at ottr with an air of indifference to all the
halanee of the world. He always
makes it the duty of his life to attend
-first nights’’ at theatres in a plug
hal atid eyeglasses. He would regard
-he play as a failure if he absente
himself.
As to the cost of getting up and
making a success of the Dude, we
have obtained the following figures,
which may be regarded as approxi

She bad been lecturing her unfortun

We suppose <he intended to exem
plify in her life that “a thi *g of beauiv

Simpson was after him with his hi»-

of that end is our t xcu-e lor gratify

b • onr portion, we will enlighten you.
Y*»u mu-t know, then,that hair pins are
an aTticleof diet with the weaker s* x
—in fact it has been physiologically
demonstrated that this epicurean diet
is the cause of their weakness. An
n/erage woman will place three dozen
hair pins in her mouth every morning,
and statistics wdl teh yon she will
swallow one-third of them. Iler
baby on an average pokes three a day
thtouch the ciark by the buienu; and
the young lady loses two every night
j while biting at a young man over the
j front gate. Now count up the mnr-
! ried women, the babies and the young
j women at the front gate, and charge
• each <»ne with the number hereinbe
ore mentioned, add them up and
; weigh, and you vv 11 find the amount
; t*> he just two tons.
P. S. Isi making your calculation
remember that it is only the mairied
woman who -wallows hair pins. She
does this every morning while doing
up her back hair ami jawing with her
husband about buildings fire in the
stove.

A Successful “Bunt.
A trio composed of Mr.-Joe Beil.Maj.
Parker and R N. Westbrook are now
the champion hunters. Monday in
about four hours, they bagged 115
snipe, 27 partridges, one rabbit and
one Indian hen: besides, they killed
many they did not get. This is good
hunting for three cripples, as Chan
Jones says, and we wonld doubt the
story, had not Chan sworn to it and
produced one of the rabbit feet as evi
dence of his veracity.

Among lbs Farmers.
The News and Advertise.! made it
a point to interview every farmer that
it came across in the city yesterday,
with the view of getting reliable in
formation with reference to farming
operations in Dougherty county. Near
ly every farmer we met had finished
planting corn, and some of them had
commenced to plant cotton. Most of
them, however, are waiting tor warm
er spring weather before putting thiir
cotton seed into the ground. A good
deal of corn was planted in February,
and, is now up and growing. Wo
heard of none that was killed by tl e
* ecent frosts. Cotton planting will be
from two to three weeks hehind that
of last year iu th ? s county.

Attempted Suicide.
There was lively times in Chan
Jones* drug store Tuesday morning.
Mr. Calhoun Wostcnholm walked in
and called for two ounces of laudanum,
which was handed him by “Pete”
Strozer, who inquired what he want
ed with it. Wo&tenholin told him it
was for sickness. “Pete,” as is the
enstom in the*store, proceeded to take
his name, etc., when Wostenholm drew
the stopper and drained the bottle.
To gay that “Pete” was frightened is
patting it mildly. It is not known
whether it was intentional suicide or a
desire for a sensation. If the latter,
he succeeded, but failed in the former.
He had been dritucing and was ner
vous; and it ia uot decided whether
hi9 stomach refused to retain it, or
whether he spat it onL At any rate,
enough was retained to place him
under its influence. Dr. Bacon was

A FEMALE MINER’S DEATH.
Ellen Conway, Worth Over $6,000.
Perlshe* Miserably.
New York Truth.
Early yesterday morning as the
jauitor of No. 9 Frankfort street, was
making his usual tour of the building,
he noticed the door of room 31 on the
fourth floor, occupied by Ellen Con
way, an old woman, whom he had
heard creeping slowly up the stairs
tlie night before, standing partly open
with the keys still sticking on the out
side. Not thinking anything of it at
the time, he descended the stairs, but
something prompted him to go up
again, and on opening the door he was
started at seeing tlie old lady sitting
unconscious in her chair.
Hastily summoning his wife and sev
eral neighbors, the janitor did all in his
power to resuscitate the woman, but
she died before the doctor and priest,
who had been summoned, could arrive.
Coroner Kennedy was notified, and, on
visiting the house, which Is a large five-
story tenement, found the woman lying
on her bed in a small room whose only
furniture consisted of a stove, a table
and a few broken articles of furniture.
On examining the body there was
found tied to the dead woman’s side
two bags, one of them containing
about $18 in pennies and ten cent
pieces, and the other a bank book
showing a balance to her credit! in the
Blecker Street Saving’s Bank of over
$6,000. The first deposit had been
made over 15 years ago, and the vari
ous sums ns deposited ringed in amount
from $20 to $110, and there was one
made on January 1, 1882, of $1,000.
Very few drafts had been made on the
account.
But little was known of the woman
throughout the house, as she bad con
sistently kept away from her neigh
bors. Though always pleasant in man
ner when addressed she had still man
aged to make it evident that she wished
to keep entirely by herself. For years
she had kept a small news stand at the
corner of Broadway and Maiden lane,
Where, during all manner of weather,
she '*ould be found morning and even
ing, industriously selling her papers.
The room in which she lives was al
ways kept neat and clean, and it is as
serted by those who know her best
that she'lived well and always treated
herself to the best of food. She is be
lieved to have been a wide wand to
have children living either in Boston
or Philadelphia, to whom she used to
send money monthly, but there is liD.
positive knowledge at present on any
of these points.
Coroner Kennedy notified tlie Public
Administrator, who yesterday bad the
deceased woman’s effects taken away,
Amongihein was a trunk that has not
yet been opened, and in which may be
found some information as to her his^
tory.
Under orders from tlie Coroner the
body was removed to an undertaker’s
and prepared for burial. An inquest
will be held to-morrow.

A TbrilJIuc: Scene.
Albany, Ga., March 21, 1883.
News and Advertiser:
My attention was recently called to
an incident oecuring at a public execu
tion which, if true, is beyond all ques
tion without a parallel In the annals of
dramatic force and interest. A culprit
is condemned to death for the murder
of his wife. In his last hour he is
urged by his confessor to admit the deed
and thus obtain absolution before de ith.
All the evidence of the trial ha6
fastened the guilt upon him beyond the
shadow of a doubt. The prisoner
strongly protests his innocence, even ,
after he reaches the scaffold, and the
noose is being fastened about his neck.
Just before the dismal cap is drawn •
down upon his face, his confc$3or points
to heaven and makes a last and earnest ]
appeal to the conscience of the con
demned man, not to be ushered thus ;
into the presence of his Maker with a j
falsehood upon his lips. The prisoner ;
becoms so wrought upon by the solemn j
adjuration of the priest, and the real !
knowledge of his own guilt,. that he j
sprang suddenly forward with frenzied j
madness, exclaiming, “Oh, take that j
woman away! Don’t you see her i
standing there, pointing her finger at
me? I own up, I confess, I confess, I
did the 1 illing!” With these startling I
words the trap fell with a sharp dang, !
and he was struggling!!! the agonies of !
death.
It was asublime picture fo-the pencil !
of a Dora; that phantom of a gtifjty I
mind, the murdered wife, the robed I
priest still pointing heavenward, the !
doomed man yielding up his giio-t ro
its final acrmmr. S.
THE “LONG AGO*’ IN ALBANY.
Anecdotes of Two ot Her “Land-
marks.”
Worth Star.
Sunday evening we strolled down
to Hilsdale and spent a few hoars
very pleasantly there, listening to
reminiscences of the “long ago’’ in Al
bany, and anecdotes of some of her
“landmarks,” as related by onr good
friend, “Daddy” Jelks. He related
one on Judge John Jackson as fol
lows:
Somewhere in the fifties the Judge
went into one of the back counties
and purchased a drove of razor
backed hogs. The hogs were bought
for Ihe especial purpose of eating a
large field of peas which the Judge
had on his plantation in East Dough
erty. The hogs were driven home
and placed in the field. Next morn
ing the Judge went to the field to fee
how his “bacon’* was progressing, and
found everyjiea vine in the field root
ed up and the peas not touched. They
had been searching for their usual
food—pine roots. Later he found il
necessary to catch them wilh dogs in
order to pen them. As soon as the
chase began they made a dash for the
nearest fence, aud most of them glid
ed through the cracks edgewise, like
perch, and fled to their native wilds.
And this one on our old friend,
“Ham” Cook: On one occasion he sent
out into (he country to purchase a lot
of bacon. Seventeen middlings was
all be could procure, and on weighing
them found that be was proprietor of
just sixteen pounds of meat.
In New York, on 3fonday “last, a
gentleman called at tne cashier’s win
dow of the New York Herald and in
quired if that was the plaee where
money was received for the Herald
flood fund. On being answered in the
affirmative the mau laid dow a pi‘tin
white envelope, on which was writen
“Herald* Flood Fund,” and saying,
“Here is something I was told to
leave here,” walked concernedly away.
When the chadiier opened the envelope
he was surprised to find that it con
tained five new $100 bills wrapped in
a small piece of white paper, on which
was written the following words:
“live hundred dollars for our needy
countrymen,” and signed “Union.”
