The decrease of exports from the
United States for the twelve months
ending July 31st, 1885, was nearly
nine million dollars, as compared with
the previous twelve months. The de
crease in imports, for the same period,
amounted to more than ninety million
dollars. And so the country reaps the
fruit of protection—a poor market at
home and a still dwindling market
abroad. ■ :
The “Rhode Island manufacturers
protest against any tinkering with the
tariff by Congress.” This is very nat
ural. The tariff lays a tax of more
than 40 per cent, on the foreign goods
that would compete with theirs—en-
ahlitig them to add almost the eutire
additional profit involved to the price
of their wares. They dou’t want any
competition. They want the people to
be forced to buy from them at their
tariff-inflated prices; and this is why
what they call “tariff tinkering” makes
them mad. Avarice does not willing
ly part with shameless privilege.

THE SPECTER.
Indianapolis News.
When I fifst took orders I went to
serve a curacy of one of my friends in
a wild and remote part of Donegal.
The village was not far from the sea,
and the church stood halfway between
them, in a dismal place, which, even
in summer, was exceedingly dreary;
but In winter it w as bleak aud de
serted.
In the village lodged a medical stu
dent who pretended to jiossess the fac
ulty of foretelling the death of his
neighbors. He often exercised his
{lowers of divination for revenge; but
he carried on his practice with so
much skill and cunning that the sim
ple villagers feared as much as they
hated him. His predictions sometimes
happened to lie true, but they might
have beeu very safely made without
the intervention of any supernatural
agency. The rogue thought lit to call
iu the aid of a superstitious tradition,
and for this purpose used to pass all
hallows’ eve alone in the church porch,
where, he said, he beheld the shadowy
forms of those who were doomed to die
{Kissing iu weird procession along the
churchyard path.
Among others, he declared lie had
seen the specter of a young man who
w as serving with his regiment in South
Africa; and he declared that to his be
lief and certain knowledge the young
lieuteuaut would die in the course of
the year. This mischievous predic
tion was likely to have very mischiev
ous consequences. Lieutenant Nevill
was betrothed to a beautiful aud inno
cent girl who lived in the village, and
they were to be married on his return.
Eveleen Versehoyle was at this time
about eighteen years of age, love y,
accomplished and refined. She had
boru up for a lon» time against the
apprehensions and anxieties which
Musgrave’s dreadful prophecies had
aroused; but now’ her health rapidly
declined, her spirits failed, and it
seemed but too probable that she
would form one of the grim troupe
who, on all liallows’.eve, were to make
their terrible journey through the
church gate.
The cause of her illness was well
known. The matter was talked of
everywhere, and had spread a panic
through the place, w*hich Irad greatly
vexed my friend, laird O’Gra ly. He
told me that Harold Musgrave enter
tained for Eveleen Versehoyle a love
as violent as it w*as hopeless, and he
had lieen heard to swear that if not
his she should be no other man’s.
Lord O’Grady now visits me to con
sult as to w’hat could be done to put a
stop to.this daring imposture and to
restore peace to the mind of the un
happy girl. He might have compelled
Musgrave to leave the place, but this
would not have remedied the past
evil, and he wished first to convince
the people that the pretended vision
was false. He therefore proposed to
me that I should pass the fatal ete in
the church porch, and that I should
publicly proclaim the result of my ob
servations during this terrible hour to
my credulous parishioners.
All-hallows’ eve arrived. I dined
with Lord O’Grady, and spent a de
lightful evening with him and his
family, until within half an hour of
midnight, ween I left them with great
reluctance, I confess, aud protected by
a warm and capacious great-coat, I
walked rapidly tow ard the church.
1 took my seat in the porch of the
ancient building, the appearance of
which in the moonlight was at least as
strange as the times in which it was
erected. The wind moaned aud blew
with mournful force from the sea
across the flat highlands which lay
between. It shrieked through the old
church tower with wild and fitful
sounds, and rushed round the corners
of the building with swift and hurry
ing blasts.
1 had not sat there long before I be
gan to wish, with an exceeding great
desire, that the hour of my louelv
watch had expired. I was chilled
to the very bone by the keen wind,
and I could no longer control a pain
ful shudder w T hich occasionally ran
through my over-strained nerves. I
at last bad only a few minutes to stay.
I began to pace quickly across tiie
small porch, hoping to warm my shiv
ering frame, when I distinctly heard
the creaking of the churchyard gate.
I turned Instantly toward the place
where the sound proceeded, and look
ing down I saw in the now elear
moonlight a figure advancing up the
path that ran through the churchyard.
At this moment 1 must .confess that
terror got the better of my reason, and
that niy shivering increased with
alarming violence as I continued to
gaze on the approaching -object.
could imagine no natural cause for
which it was possible that any one
could be traveling that path at's ich an
hour.
The figure suddeuly stopped and
stood with its back toward me. I saw
that it was dressed in soldier’s uni
form. The scarlet clothes showed in
the moonlight; the glittering buttons
and tbe sword hanging Horn the belt
all convinced me that the apparition
wore the dress of an; officer of the
army.
Musgrave’s prediction rushed back
to my mind, and in the confusion of
the moment I was almost inclined to
admit its truth. It is true that I had
never seen the young soldier- who had
been the subject of it, bat the coinci
dence w*as so strong as to stagger me.
lorto tEe Immaujffie, and this,^»d<Jed
perhaps to uny excited fancy, gave to
that of the silent figure before me a
pallid, death-like appearance.
I suddenly remembered the duty
which I had consented to pi xform, and
subduing with a strong effort the pan
ic which had seizeil me, I stepped for
ward and called out:
“Whogoes there?”
“A friend,”' replied the figure in a
hoarse bat certainly natural voice.
“Who do yon seek here at this hour
ofthe night?” I**.* „ .. .
apparition, “let me ask what right
yon have to question me?”
“I am,” I said, “the curate of this
place.”
“Well, sir,” it replied with a cheery
laugh, “my name is Nevill, and I am a
lieutenant iu tiie army. You are
probably acquainted with my mother;
who lives in the village yonder, and I
am now on my way to surprise her
with a visit, as my regiment has been
ordered home so suddenly that I ar
rived almost as soon as a letter would
have done.”
1 was so overcome, with surprise that
for a few moments I could not answer.
At las:, I found voice to explain to the
young officer the reason of my strange
vigil and the critical condition of his
lovely and interesting betrothed.
He at once declared that jealousy
hail prompted Musgrave’s horrid
scheme, and I had difficulty in pre
venting him from rushing to" his lodg
ings and taking summary vengeance
upon him.
We proceed at once to the house of
Lord O’Grady, who was still sitting
up anxiously awaiting for my report.
He added his persuasions to mine, and
we induced the young man to remain
there for the night, and to allow* me to
break to his mother and his bride the
joyful news of his arrival on the fol
lowing morning. I shall not attempt
to describe their delight.
Sweet Eveleen soon recovered when
her anxiety and terror were dissipat
ed, and a few weeks after his return I
had the pleasure of uniting her for
life to her frank and handsome lover,
who was well worthy of even his price
less treasure.
Musgrave left the village some days
before the marriage, to the great pleas
ure and comfort of the inhabitants.

HERE’S RICHNESS.
A Georgia Legislator Writes
Letter to an Editor.
Connell’s “bachelor hill” is stirring
up bile all over the State, and has al
ready provoked enough billingsgate
and vituperation to bring about half a
dozen duels between editors and lej
lators if such a thing were within the
range of events that “cast their shad
ows before.”
The Way cross Headlight took occa
sion to criticise Mr. Connell’s Tittle
“joke,” and made the statement that
the bill had cost the State $3,000,
whereupon some indignant Solon, hid
ing himself behind the novi ke plume of
“Many Representatives,” sends the
editor of that paper the following
screed:

Dr. J. W. Irwin says that one ofthe
best and most pleasant things that can

the pain immediately if the bark is of
good quality.
A little daily change in the arrange

such pleasant surprises as an invalid
can bear iu the way of food, company
and amusement, will often be more
effectual in hastening the convales

have found similar relief.

It is a mistake to put either your pil

Mims Kaichen Felt Lucky.
Denver (Col.) News, July 23.
S. M. Simpson, the distribution cigar
store, man, on JoIyI3th, met the Den
ver agent of The Louisiana State Lot
tery and bought fifteen tickets from
him, and sent ten of thefii to Leadvillle
to a customer who asked to buy them,
that night by mail, took, five of them
home, gave two to Miss Kaichen, Bis
sister-in-law, who had told hini she
felt lucky and to purchase for her two-
fifths for two dollars in The Louisiana
State Lottery, and retained three him
self. Next morning a message came to
effect that No. 8,91)9 had drawn the
capital prize. He told Miss Kaichen to
Bntte (Mon.) Inter-Moaataia.
Yesterday afternoon at the Garrison
train stopped at Stuart a most singular
looking man was seen descending the
steps of tbe smoking-car upon the side
facing the little town. The man was
apparently about thirty-five years of
age, stood 5 feet 10 inches in height,
was powerfuHy built, and would prob
ably weigh somewhere near one hun
dred and eighty pounds. He had on a
well-worn drab-colored business suit,
heavy shoes, a light-colored slouch hat
and sported a full beard of a reddish
cast. Deep-set dark-blue eyes, a prom
inent nose and chin, square jaws and a
bead covered with closely cropped
browu hair surmounted unusually
broad shoulders, flanked by a pair of
as muscular arms as one could find in
a crowd of a thousand men. But the
most singular tiling about the man is
the appearance of a third arm, which,
starting out from between the lower
points of the shoulder-blades, extends
outward at least three feet from the
body. The arm is of extraordinary
size and strength, has an easy working;
elbow and ends with a liandofunusua
proportions, provided with a thumb
and four fingers. When not in Use It
is carried over the right shoulder, the
hand resting over tbe pit of the stom
aeh.
Jumping from the lower step to the
ground with the ease and grace of a
well-trained athlete, tbe singular look
ing stranger went to the baggage car,
from whence the baggage master first
shoved out a huge trunk, weighing at
least 150 pounds, then a w ell-filled
valise, and lastly a huge roll of blank
ets and furs. Taking the trunk by the
backhand, the valise in the right hand
and the blankets in the left hand, this
freak of nature made his way to tbe
nearest saloon across the street. Of
course, he was the observed of all ob
servers, and many were the remarks
and speculations indulged in concern
ing his singular physical structure.
It was here tliat our informant—one
of the most reputable citizens of Butte
—saw him and interviewed him. We
£ive the substance of the interview as
it was received by our reporter. The
stranger said his name was Orloff
Kamanski, and that he was born of
poor but respectable parents on tbe
"banks of the Yukon River, in Alaska,
1,500 miles above its mouth. He re
ceived a common school education in
his native village. When he arrived
at man’s estate lie had a desire to see
more of the world. A short time ago
Mr. Kamanski became acquainted with
Mr. George R. Tingle, who represent
ed one of the Yellowstone counties in
the last legislative assembly of Mon
tana, but who is one of the Seal Com
missioners at Sitka, recently appointed
by the President. He showed letters
of introduction written by Mr. Tingle
to several prominent Montanians, but
he had concluded not to use them.
When he left Alaska it was his inten
tion to travel somewhat extensively in
the United States. He lauded at Port
land a little over a week ago, but he
had been in the country long enough
to find out that the people were con
sumed with a desire for gold—for
riches—and he had changed his inind
concerning his future movements, and
was now going back to Alaska by way
of San Francisco to work up a stam
pede for the gold fields of the Yukon.
While he was talkiug to our inform
ant Mr. Kamanski rested his natural
hands upon either knee, and with his
back arm over his shoulder fanned his
face vigorously. Our informant not
ing the ease and dexterity with which
he handled the odd member ventured
to inquire if it discommoded him in
auy way.
“Oh, no,” said the gentleman. “On
the contrary, I find it is a great con
venience. In the first place, it is the
strongest limb I have. When 1 am eat
ing 1 use a fan iu my extra hand and
keep the flies from m3* food. I can
carry two buckets of water and at the
same time mop the sweat from my
brow or blow irty nose. I can drive
six horses and at the same time hang
on. the seat behind. I use that arm
ami hand in a thousand different ways,
sir.”
“Are three-armed men common in
your country?” inquired the listener.
“They are not uncommon, sir,*/ re
plied Kamanski. “I know a great
many on the upper Yukon with three
arms, among them several females.
The extra hand comes in good play
with the ladies, especialI3’ in combing
and dressing their back hair and in
buttouing their dresses aud other
things. A lady with three arms is
very much sought after by the Y r ukon
beans, ancf* they can generally have
their pick among the wealthiest dudes
of the laud. That extra arm and hand
are very handy about a house. A lady
possessing them can cook a meal of
victuals and set the table at the same
time. She can sweep the floor and
carry the baby too without inconven
ience. She can do nnraberless other
things that two-handed ladies cannot
do. But beware how you offend one
of them. That back hand then be
comes a terrible weapon of destruc
tion. I once saw three boot-jacks, a
poker and a broom thrown at a man at
once. I wouldn’t part with my third
arm, but I would never marry a
woman with one.”

Why Don’t They Stare at His?
Buffalo Courier.
A certain wretch in the city takes
pleasure in practices a little short of
fiendish. His field of operations is
generally in street cars, and his tactics
are apparently very innocent, inas
much as they consist of merely casting
his eyes upon the ground. His delight
is to enter a car, one side of which at
least is well filled with ladies. He
will seat himself on the opposite side
of the car and begin his persecution,
which is all tbe more cruel because
there is nothing tangible to resent.
With his hands innocently, folded in
his lap he will begin to look intently
ou the floor at the end of the seat op
posite. Of coarse, the woman iu that
corne**, be she young or old, buxom or
scrawny, bold or modest, will at once
become conscious of her feet. Not
daring to look down she will feel cer
tain there is something wrong, and
first one foot will twitoh, shift uneasi
ly its position, draw* back as far as the
seat will let it, seek the companionship
of its mate, both of them will squirm
in vain endeavor of each to bide be
hind tbe other, and finally agonized
desperation the unhappy woman will
drape her skirts, in a manner know*n
only to the sex, so that neither foot is
visible. Then the tormentor will shift
his eyes and begin on a new pair of
feet. When his destination is at a
rreat enough distance, he has been
mown to w'ork his little game until
every woman in tbe car has the ap
pearance of being minus her pedal ex
tremities, and is in a state bordering
on desperation. Tar and feathers are
too good for such a gend.

than be himself would like to admit for S
conscience sake. He was known
among the soldiers by the soubriquet of
“Kildee.” Why the name was given
him we have beeu unable to learn,
though we suspect thereby hangs a
tale. After the war^lie returned to his
native county, and has been between
the plow handles ever since.
He was among the battle-scarred
veterans of the “old Fourth Georgia” at
its reunion In Milledgeville. He was
on hand early, and as the train rolled
in bearing the veterans of the “lost
cause,” he was ou hand to meet them.
No one would have even taken him for
a hero, as he stood amoug the assem
bled crowd at the depot awaiting his
former comrades. His face w as sun
burnt, tanned and hardened I13* expos

it was “too hot,” his shirt was made of
homespun, and his pauts,shoesandbat
were of the *comraonest material. He
looked an3*tbingelse but a typical hero
as he stood among that gaily dressed
throng, aud yet beneath that homespun
shirt beat as brave aud true a heart as
ever pulsated w ith life.
As the train stopped cheer after cheer
rent the air, and the old soldiers pass

bad arrived before them. Amid the
deafening cheers, wild confusion and
glad welcomes, some one called out,
“Where is Kildee?” “Where is Kil

up, and when he was found they rush

around him, laughed, cried and sobbed,
yelled and hurrahed, and did every

him. It was too much for Kildee. He
w*as choking with emotion, and tears
were streaming dow n his rough fea

but submitted to the hugging and
shaking and crying and laughing and
yelling and howdying like a lamb led

A RATHER WARM CLIMATE.
Why flic Angel* Culled a Wicked

Philadelphia News.
“I cannot imagine,” said Reverse
Officer Stalk yesterday afternoon as
he stood on the corner of Eighth and
Chestnut street, “why people complain
so of the heat. Within the last three
or four days I have noticed that the
highest point registered at the Daily
News office h; g been t5 deg., and still
people were going around lookiug as
uncomfortable as a polar bear In a ba
kers oven.
Why, my dear sir, 95 deg. is pos
itively a lrcezing atinospheie coin pared
with the heat occasionally experienced
on the Island of Tahiti, in the Pacific
ocean. In the summer of 1858 or 1859,
I am not certain which, I was on the
island for the purpose of introducing
a new style of double back-action re
frigerator.
“The weather w as a trifle warm, but
not at all uncomfortable until one Sun
day, when at (Jo’clock in the morning
the mercury shot up to 108 deg. By
9 o’clock it had reached 122 deg., aud
at 10 o’clock it was up to 147 deg. and
still rising. I was unaccustomed to
such a temperature, and got inside of
one of my refrigerators, and watch
ed through the glass door the ac
tions ofthe natives. I was surprized
to see one fellow, who was wearing

walking around while the brass but
tons on the coat were melting off and
running down and forming a puddle
of molten metal in the sand. It w*as
then noon, and the mercury had reach

exac£ but I may be a degree or two out
of the way.
“In a few moments another native
sneaked around to the rear of the re
frigerator, and from the sound I could
tell he was stealing ice from the box.
He got a 5 pound lump but no sooner
was it exposed to the snn than it turn
ed to boiling water and scalded the poor
fellows hand in a terrible manner. A
few minutes afterwords—the thermom

see a w oman rush wildly from a but.

A POISONED SPRING.
Hr. Howell Erwin Tells of a
Strange Spring He Saw in Ar
kansas.
Atlanta Constitution.
Mr. Howell C. Erwin, who was
just returned from a trip to Arkansas,
tells of a spring of poisonous water out
there, and when too much of it is drunk
the drinker falls into a stupor and
dies. The spring is one of eleven, at
Sugar Loaf springs. This particular
one is called the arsenic spring, as the
water is tainted with that poison. Mr.
Erwin says of it:
“I understand that a little of this wa
ter is beneficial.”
“What other kinds of water are there
at Sugar Loaf springs?”
“They have white, red and black
sulphur, the finest springs in the coun
try except at Hot Springs. There Is
one spring that will cure sore eyes
of any sort, in two weeks, and another
that has been know*n to cure consump
tion. The black sulphur is popular
for various complaints.”
“How about the country ?”
“It is a good country. The fanners
are the wealthiest people out there.
Crops are good.”
“How are the people?”
“The people are as good as any you
would care to meet.. It is a new State,
but I find the people refined and hos
pitable.”
“Did yon see many Georgians out
there?”
“No, very few.”
Mr. Erwin says there are not many
negroes going to Arkansas, the immi
gration seems to come from the north.”
CURE FOR PILES.
Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af
fection of tiie kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms o* mdi-
'estion are present, flatulency, uneas-
ness ef the stomach, etc. A moisture,
like perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and itching Piles yield - at
once to the application of I)r.* Bosan-
ko’s Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Code of Georgia; also by amend
ing section 12 of said Act, know n as

aud duties of the Railroad Commis

DOTS FROM BERRIEN.
By Joe.
Brookfield, Ga.. Sept. 1st, 1885.
Our nimrods are anxiously looking
for the 15th
The completion of the Tifton and
Needmore railroad to our town has
given new life to it. You can now pay
your money and take your choice of
routes. The above named road is a
new one, and owned and operated ex
clusively by that prince of mill men,
Mr. H. H. Tift, and is not a narrow
gauge road, as some suppose. From
this point the road will run south in
the direction of Valdosta, and should
the present force of hands under the
efficient management of J. Biggin,
Esq., continue, it is only a question of
time when w*e will be connected with
that city by rail, a distance of 45 miles,
passing through as fine timbered lands
as any on this continent, and opening
up a country unsurpassed in South
west Georgia for farming.
Cotton is opening rapidly, and some
of our merchants are speaking of try
ing the Albany market.
Cholera among hogs and chickens is
playing sad havoc in this count3 r ,
many fanners losing nearly all.
We often wonder why Atlanta has
so many suicides. It must be a good
place—to die in, but that is no greater
mystery than the existence of so main*
bachelors in our town and vicinity. It
is a rare thing for an old bachelor to
commit suicide. We are prepared to
bet our month’s salary that In propor
tion to our population we have more
bachelors than any town in the State.
Can you account for this, or can you
prescribe a remedy ? The evil is as
suming alarming proportions, and no
effort on the part of the Legislature to
tax them can arouse them. They are
a fearless set. Some of our bo3*s, as
the^ call themselves, seem to have
med a fondness for your artesian
water, as they call It, but perhaps it
may be some of yodr pretty ladies. At
any rate yon are hereby authorized to
keep an eye ou them when in the city.
Our county to the front again. Mr.
H. C. Baker has placed us under obli
gations to him for some of the finest
peaches I ever saw, many of them*
measuring nine aud ten inches in cir
cumference. They were of the clear
seed variety.
With best wishes for yourself and
your able paper, I remain your friend,
Joe.

A Caterpillar Convention in West
Dougherty.
Walker’s Station, Ga., Aug. 31.
News and Advertiser:
An ungodly number of the respecta
ble gentlemen in and aronnd this place
assembled, and I suppose the inten
tion of the meeting was to talk cater
pillars, for the conversation generally
was “caterpillar, caterpillar.” Some
had one sort, and some another ;> some
in quantities as large as a half bushel;
some were plowing theta in for ma
nure—and so on. The day passed off
pleasantly and quietly; and you talk
about McClung as a liar, there were
some among this crowd that could beat
him lying as far as an editor can smell
a piece of beef or see a man that owes
him two years’ subscription fora paper.
But to my agreeable surprise about 12
o’clock Mr. Slappy had a nice fat pig
and a potash box chuck full of corn-
bread set on a bench under some China
trees, and we ail got around that pig
and forgot that there ever was a cater
pillar. The pig was soon no more,
and we resumed our seats under the
shade and resorted back to the cater
pillar, and we decided that if cotton
was as good to the little worm as that
pig was to ns we could not blame him
for eating himself to death. Mr.
Slappy is a nice, clever young man,
and, by the way, a mighty lucky fel
low. He was formerly a large planter
in Baker county,but is now the leading
merchant in Walker’s Station. I am
glad to see some man so fortunate as
to see ahead. Pity but what we had
more snch men. If Mr. S. had not
sold out bis farm and gone to mer
chandising, from what Sink Savage
says about caterpillars in Baker coun
ty, they would have bodaciously eaten
him up, and he, with. the balance of
us poor devils, would have been down
in the month. But be is as cheerful as
a lark and looks as if all was sunshine
with him.
The convention meets again next
Saturday, and we will have two hogs
and two potash boxes full of corn-
bread, and I take the liberty of invit
ing the editor of this paper, though I
am not eoncernedio the matter at all.
You need not be particular about ask
ing any of your'Triends, Mr. Editor,
as we will not have much to eat.
I hope “West Dougherty” will not
take any exceptions to this writing.
He certainly won’t, for he took the
railroad for church and was not there
to take down dots. I can beat him
Iting up things anyhow, but I don’t
want the job, as I don’t live out here,
but I like all tiie folks and am sorry
the blarsted worms are so destructive on
them. “ ex-West Dougherty.
