Two Texans met on oppo&ilo sides of a river, and alter the usual inter change of civilities expressed a regret that they wore unable lo exchange a Irictidly shake ot the hands, us tiie lapidity of the current and the rocky nature of the river-bed made ii im possible for either of them t«> cross to the other side, and the nearest bridge was at leasi six miles higher up. At length one of tin in, who went by the name of Broncho Bill, thought he saw a way out of their difficulty. “L -ay, Sam !’’ he cried, “it is hind lines for a couple of old friends to meet out here, hundreds of miles away from home, and to have to part in this way. Have you got your revolver on you?'’ “Cert.iinly” replied Sam, “1 am never without it.” “Well, that’s com tort. If we cannot cross the river to shake hands there is nothing to prevent our having a (riennly shot at each other. Just move a. couple of dozen paces to the left and then blaze away.” The men rode into position, and then bang, hang went the pis tols. “You have smashed the pom- riiel ot my saddle!’’ shouted llron- -vho. *T tell you what, my horse happened to shy a bit when you tired, else 1 should have been knock- eel out of lime !*’ “You have manag ed better than that. Bill—I have got your sugar-plum about half an inch in the flesh of my left arm ! Well, ta la! a pleasant journey, and mind you tell youi old woman when you ge« Home that wc have met and had a jolly time together.” “Thanks—the same to you. I’ll put a gooel word in for you, trust me!” They then rode oil* and Sain said to himself, with tears in his eyes, “Ble-s him ! It makes one wild with joy to meet a dear old friend like him out here; :» kinder and more obliging bdimv never trod ibis earth, i would not part with the remembrance of this hour for a hundred dollars!” The Monroe Advertiser says that Judge Blandford, recently elected to the Supreme Court, is in an infidel. We trust this is not so. Perhaps the Monroe Advertiser re gards everybody that does not en dorse Dr. Haygocd as infidels. In that case there are a great; many Geor gia infidels. It Is nil bosh to look for an adjourn ment on the 15th, unless die press keeps after the Legislature. The Leg islaturc is hardened on the per diem and free passe**. Tiif.-Legislature has es’opped :il new' business. That is very credit able in the Legislature, but would have been more so twenty days since. Senatf.k Tatum has introduced a resolution for a joint committee to look into business and report a day for adjournment. That begins lo look like bu-me-w. But keep the ball moving. Thom as vii.le will have a new hotel at all hazards. A stock company has been formed with a capital of .$10,000, which will build the Pinny Woods Hotel. Thomasville is spunky, and we wish her well. Thebe ought lo be a committee ap pointed by the Legislature lo search “temperance people” when and where- ever found.—Monroe Advertiser. That is good Democratic doctrine; and we suggest that I he committee feel in the tail pocket of ihc Advertiser the first place. It is well to watch these fellows that howl so loud. WODLDJl»T SPILE. The Squatter at Church-How He Enjoyed the 91 nalc. New York Merenrj. The other day an old squat ter came to the city and ‘attended divine ser vices at a fashionable church. He sat uneasily on a cushion, and when the organ began to rumble his hair began to stand up. Turning to a man who set near, he asked: •‘What sorter article do- yer call that?” “That’s the fatted calf bawling,” the min replied. ‘Thought thet they’d killed him ter feed the proiikin son on?* “Yes they killed one, but have raised another.” The deep tones of the organ roared like a storm behind the scenes and the old squatter, with a wink in bis dry looking eye, said: “Must be pawing thegroun now.

Times-Democrat. * The Italian War Departnienp-htls just published a work on “JdTalaru” of great scientific value iq/rfm world, and to no equutjr^liioTc so than to tJii and Louisiana. The rea son given for this investigation and study of malaria was the prevalence of the malaria fever in the Italian army. No country is more affected with this disease than Ityly. And it ( is calculated that it entails atfexpeuse ol at Tea'sl $2,000,000' a year to^viViY' • War Department in the number of r hospitals it becomes necessary to keep up for the treatment ol soldiers sick ol the disease. / “Malaria,” so the report declares, “is the product of vegetable decom position in connection with moisture of the soil, especially in sandy soils.’’ ll is most frequent wherc^salt and fresh waters meet, or wiieic the land is poorly and improperly cultivated. It disappears in Italy at the height of 1.000 feel, but in this country has b-ien found prevailing far up in the Appalachian Mountains, as Ugh as 2,000 feet above tide-W’ater. J - A favorite seat of malaria is at the mouths of rivers, especial 1 y those which are sluggish or liable to be blocked by' mud or vegetation. Ex cessive heat does not, as is generally supposed, promote malaria, and floods are very beneficial while they lust, preventing the water from becoming stagnant. Kuilroad building or any . # kind of work lets the malaria out of *the earth, and gives rise to a great deal of fever. At tho same time the report declares the only cure for this evil is the thorough cultivation of ^ iotTe^tty^ellc(t of the planting <vdangerous districts th trees is iec? mmen dcd by the Dal ian Govern men 1 as likely’ to bring about iv bi.ii.-j' condition of affairs than exists to-day’; but, with all this, the. truest and best remedy is the careful cultivation of the soil and a good system of drainage. As a coun try becomes more settled and better cultivated, the Italian War Depart ment declares, the malaria disap pears; and it cites the fact that while malaria fevers are infrequent* in the i Ghetto and others of the filthiest and crowde d corners of Rome, they are very prevalent in the newer ami more aristocratic districts of that city. There is, according to this report, scarcely any portion of Italy alto gether free from malaria. Such is "A much the testimony of the f Massachusetts health authorities, who made a thorough investigation of the same question. In fine this report • confirms former discoveries and de clarations that malaria is nearly uni- f versal, but at the same time it gives the best means of dealing with and eradicating it.

Upon the arrival of the government tug Emma Ethridge, at - Louisville, Ky., Thursday last, the pilot tola the following pitiful story: Tuesday, while about eleven miles above Shawnee- town, Ill., lie noticed a boat contain ing four persons immediately under the tug’s bow. The boat bad been unnoticed before then. Efforts were made to reverse the direction of the tug, but those were ineffectual. Sud denly three men jumped from the brat, leaving only a young girl therein. The tug charged into the boat, which, with its occupant, was seen no more. Ropes were thrown out to the men, and they were rescued. But the oldest of them was terribly discomfited on learning of tho disappearance of the girl, lie told the pilot his name was Smith; that he lived in Union county; that the girl was his daughter, and lhat she was engaged to,one of his two companions, but the young man had got into trouble and into the Joliet penitentiary. He had managed to es cape, however, and had communicated with the young lady, who had in duced her father and brother, the other young man of the party, to go with her, under cover of night, across the Ohio and land her lover safe at home with them in Ken tacky; Jnves? tigatioirhas proved the old man’s story ta-be true.

They were trying to cut iff Yellow Hand from Sitting Bull. Early in the rooming Yellow Hand rode up iu the head of a war parly and challenged Bill to an open ennibal. General Miles and others iried to dissuade Bill from accept ing the challenge, lie replied that a refusal to accept it would ruin his prestige among the savages, and that was something he could not aflord lo lose. He told Yellow Hand lhat he would fight him. The two armies were ranged less than a mile apart. Six mounted scouts accompanied Bill and six mounted Brule Sioux rode forward with Yellow Hand. They were to open the fight on horseback with rifles. Their escorts drew aside, and the combatants dash ed forward. Yellow Haud began to spin around Bill in a circle, und Bill began to circulate on a circle himself. Around and aroiiud they went like swallows in the air. Both white men and savages were eager spectators. Each combatant had his leg over bis horse’s fore shoulder, and each was swinging head down ward, awaiting an opportunity for a fatal shot. They sounded, so close together that it sounded like the crack of one rifle. In a twinkling lOthJiorses were biting the dusf t. He was ou the horse struck the □and was partly to the earth by tlic weight of his p'Sny. The two men were over seventy feet apart Before the chief comd extricate himself Bill had shot him through the body. It was. however, a flesh wound. Yellow Hand gained his feet drew his scalp ing knife, and went for Bill like a demon. The Indians were yelling like hyenas, and Miles’ troopers were rending the air with their shoots. Yellow Hand’s knife went through Bill’s hunting skirt, barely scraping the hide. There was a quick strug gle, some labored breathing and gril ling of teeth, and Bill’s knife slid between the chief’s ribs, aud pierced his heart. He fell lifeless on the plain. In a second Bill encircled his topknot, nnd_yanked the scalp, from his head. With fiendish screams the Indians poured down on him. But old Miles’ troopers were there on time, and there was'as lively an In dian fight as was ever seen in the Big Horn country. Yellow Hand lost his scalp as well as his life, and his soul never reached the happy hunting ground.”_ Piles ! Piles!'.Pile*!! !

AugustaiVcics: The brothers in black of the Africau church have held a camp meeting just on the East ern limits of Covington for the past week. The last night closed with what in their parlance is called the throwing down of the walls of Jeri= cho. This novel exercise is conducted in astrangeiy weird manner. Each member of the church is proved with lighted torch, the procession is headed by oue of their number with a trumpet, which he blows at each corner of the tabernacle as they go marching around it in regular pro- . cession, one following closely behind the other, “singing as they go.” This they continue as long as their torches burn.

A Bare-Poi»ie<l Ur urn. About twenty years ago a young fellow by the nameof Johnson, in the wilds of the Cheat Mountains in West Virginia, made np his mind to be married. “But you nave not a penny,” re monstrated his friends- “I have my* hands. A man was given two hands—one to scratch for himself, ihe other for his wife,” he said. Oil the day of the wedding Johnson appeared in a whole caot and trous ers, but barfooted. “This is hardly decent,” said the clergyman. “I will lend you a pair of shoes.” “No,” said Johnson ; “when lean hny shoes I will wear them—not be fore.” And he stood up to be married with out any thought of his feet. The same sturdy conduct showed it self in his future course. What he had not money to pay for he did without. He hired himself to a farmer for a year’s work. With the money he saved he bought a couple of acres of timber land and a pair of sheep, built himself a hut, and went to work on his ground. His sheep increased. As time flew bv he bought more; then he sold off’ the cheapest kinds, and invested in Southdown and Freuch Merino. Ilis neighbors tried by turns raising cat tle and horses, or gave their attention to experimental farming. Johuson having once found that sheep raising in his district brought a handsome profit, stuck to it He had that shrewdness in seeing the best way, and that dogged persist ence in following it, which are the surest elements of success. Stockbuyers of the eastern mark ets fonnd that Johnson’s fleeces were the finest and his mutton the sweet est on the Cheat. He.uever allowed their repnta ion'to fail—the end of which course is, the man who mar ried barefooted is uow worth a large property.

A novel claim is about to be brought against ihe United States Government by German bondholders for the payment of certain bonds, which were guaranteed by the State of Georgia in 1869, in aid of the Brunswick railroad. In 1861 this road was taken possession of by Governor Brown. It was disnuuitled and its properly was used to build a branch of the Gnlt railroad to Flori da, and for other State purposes. The road had been built and was owned by Northern capitalists. Af ter the war they asked payment for their property, and in 1869 an act was passed by which the State agreed to endorse the bonds of the railroad company if the road was rebuilt. The compromise was accepted by the former owners of the road, with this condition. The bonds were sold through a German syndicate in Frankfort-on-the-Main, and were afterwards repudiated. At the time the act was parsed authorizing the IU U OW VIU^O UUlin v..

It appears that Dr. Glenn, of Cali fornia, who was frequently paradea as the greatest farmer in the world, is enormously in debt, and whether his estate is bankrupt or solvent is to-diy an unsettled question. During the century just passed the population of the United States lias increased eleven fold, and while 100 years ago there was one church to every 1,700 inhabitants, there is now one to every 250. The total coinage of the United States mints for the seven months ended July 31 was $3L907,516 31. Of this amount $11,274,640 was in twen ty dollar gold pieces and $16,725,819 in standard silver dollars. The prettiest compliment a diary youth can pay to his sweetheart is to tell her that she has eyes just like an Alderney cow.

The New York court of appeals has just decided that druggists are liable in damages for all mistakes they or their clerks make in com pounding and patting up prescrip tions. In the case in which the above decision was rendered, a druggist’s clerk, by mistake, gave a customer black drops” instead of “black draught.” The mistake resulted in death, and the relatives of the victim sought to recover damages.

An illiterate prisoner was sentenced to jail till he could learn to read and write, and another offender was sentenced till he could teach the former the art. In a little over three weeks the pris oner appeared, able to write a fair letter at dictation, and both men were discharged. A family near Omaha consists oft he father, mother and seven children. They reside in a neat cottage on a cross street that is sparsely built up. In this house the man and wife have lived nearly ten years, and neither parents nor children have ever stirred out except at night, when they oc casionally walk oat in the dark of the moon. They have dealt steadily with one grocer, who sends the supplies in the evening, to be taken in through a window. Another freak of this cu rious family is that they keep a coffin in the house for each member. W. H. Chesebro, a young Stoning- tonian, is induck. A few weeks ago he weut outside of Sheffields reef on a fishing trip, and succeeded in catch ing only oue little chub mackerel. He started for home, thinking of the “fisherman’s luck” as he gazed in tently on the solitary mackerel. The mackerel seemed to have become suddenly attacked with convulsions, and during a spasm vomited a glist ening substance the size of a small Young Chesebro picked it up, and, to his surprise, found that it was a real diamond. -It?

The correspondent of the Constitu tion is responsible for the following: “Near Thomaston, a few days ago, a piece of metal weighing about four pounds, and which resembled silver, was found ten feel in the ground by some parties who were digging a well. The metal is too soft to be genuine silver and too hard to be good lead. Under the blow-pipe it stands the same heat as pure silver.

Hartstield, j!4-2t Camilla, Ga. bonds were sold to the German holdr c.s, Georgia had no legal State gov ernment, but a provisional govern ment which was officered by ap pointees .of the United States.* As counsel for the German holders of these bonds, Judge Locliraue, of Georg’a, who was Chief Justice ot the Supreme Court of ihat State in 1S72, has prepared a claim against the Na tional Government for the payment of the repudiated bonds, which will be presented to the Presedent through the Gearman Minister at Washington in case the German Govern ment will agree to such a proceeding. The point involved in the case is, briefly that the bonds in question were is sued by the Provisional Government of Georgia and subsequently repudi ated by the regular State Govern meat of Georgia; that the Provis ional Government was the creature of the United States Government, and, therefore, there being no course to the State, that the National Government is responsible for their payment. The bonds were sold at Frankfort ; for-94 cents, gold, on the dpllar, and the proceeds of their sale went into the railroad. It is claimed that the law of Nations authorizes the Gov ernment of the citizen creditor bring under diplomatic notice the wrongful acts of the debtoi Govern ment to her foreign subjects when the debt is purely a Stale debt; that both the State and Federal Cour are closed to the complainants, ar that their only means of redress is appeal to their rights under interna tional law. Judge Lochrane claims that it is not disputed that when Georgia issued the bonds she was under the control and direction the United States Government; that when Texas came into the Union the United States had to pay' her $10, 000,000 debt to foreign creditors that this debt oi Georgia stands in better legal relation to international law lhau did the debt of Texas, and when the United States Government takes all the duties from goods com ing into Georgia ports, upon the same doctrine she became liable to pay the dents created by her creature, the Provisional Government of Georgia as in the case of Texas. .Judge Locliraue further thinks that Georgiy ought to- pay these bonds, as that State got the benefit of them, but there is no indication that Georgia will do, or attempt to do anything of the kind. So far as there has been ary expression of Georgia sentiment upon the subject, there is a strong opposition to the payment of these claims either by the State or National Government Whatever may be the moral obliga lion resting upon the State to pay the bonds, says the Charleston News and Courier, there is certainly no legal liability. None of the*rc constructed States can be held re sponsible for the acts of the revolu tionary governments that were set up by force over them daring the years immediately following the civil war.

In addition to the efficient work the Signal Service, with its system of signals and bulletins, the farmer club of the American Institute has is sued a set of rules foretelling Ihe weather. If farmers and other whose business is out of doors and depends upon the weather will study them closely, they will be able to guess the weather more accurately than Wig gins or Yennor: 2. When the temperance falls sud denly there is a storm forming south of ypu. 2. When the temperature rises sud denly there is a storm forming north of you. 3. The wind always blows from region of fair weather toward a re gion where a storm is forming. 4. Cinyis clouds always move from region where a storm is in process to a region of fair weather. 5. Cumulous clouds always move from a region of fair weather to a re gion where a storm is forming. 6. Where cirrus clouds are mov ing rapidly from the north or north east there will be rain inside of twen ty-four hoars, no matter how cold is. 7. When cirrus clouds are moving rapidly from the south or southeast there will be a cold rain-storm on the morrow if it be in the summer, and if it be in winter there will be i snow-storm. 8. The wind always blows in a cir cle around a storm, and when it blows from the north, the heaviest rain is east of you; if it blows from the south, the heaviest rain is west of you; if it blows from the east, the heaviest rain is south; if it blows from the west, the heaviest rain is north of yon. 9. The wind never blows unless rain or snow is falling within miles of you. 10. Whenever heavy, wbife fronts occurs, a storm is forming within 1,000 miles north or northwest of you. A Dade’* Jobe.
