Oneof Die most Interesting cases that has come te the attention of Die medi cal fraternity of'Savannah iu a long time is the recovery of the power of speech by a young dumb lady.

Three years ago Sergt. Mart us was statin' ed at Fort Pulaski. While t.iere the family occasionally visited the city by boat.

The family hoped as her voice had left her so sud denly it might be restored in the same maimer. Dr. Harris said that if it ever came back it would l»e during in tense mental excitement. Up to the time of her father's death she had not uttered a sound. He died on Friday and was bfiried the next day. At the grave the grief of the speechless daugh ter found rent only iu silent tears, and she was the subject of much Sympathy. HKU FIRST WORDS SPOKEN. The death affected her deeply. After the family had returned home Mr. George Martas, a grown son; was sittiugin the parlor writing. Directly he was surprised to hear some one whi.<|>cr his name, anil upon looking around he saw his sister sitting near. He could not realize that site was able to spi ak. but iaa few moments he wasconvitic -d that she could articulate slightly. Her first word was **Gearge.” It was very line and scarcely audible. She, too. wa? greatly surprised and overjoyed to find that she was understood. Last night she stated that the sensation at first was as though something hud given way iu her throat. THE YOUSO GIRL’S STORY. Always l»efore there bad been what seemed liken pressure on her throat, but that "was suddenly removed. *‘l can’t tell you how glad I felt when 1 heard the sound of my own voice.” she said. “My throat was sore for aw hile, I and had trouble in finding the words 1 wanted to use to express my thoughts.

Dr. Harris states that the recovery of the power of speech is very u msital, and in this case he attributes it to the great mental excitement. The young lady says that she was frequently ex cited while dumb, hut ic did not loose the chord of s|»eecli Her .first word was the result of a stroug, indefinable impulse. CENTRAL RAILROAD STOCK. Having a Little Beet at Presen Nothing From tlie < Savannah Neva. Very little if anything ha? been done in Central railroad stock since the earthquake. It clings at about and par, and there doesn’t appear to be any decided impression whether it will move up or down. It is a fact w*orth noticing that orders for the purchase of Die stock have been received iu this city from Chicago parties witniu Die last day hr two. The orders were nop executed, however, for the reason that the limit beyond which the broker was j»er- mitted to go in making purchases was just a shade under the prevailing market price. These orders from Chicago would seem to udicate that the recent activity in the stock was produced by a desire to speculate in it. and to buy it as an investment rather thuu an organized effort to get control of the road. There is still some talk to the effect that other railroad sys tems are trying to get control of - the Central system, but there are no fact* given as a basis for it. Inquiries In New Yii k, w here much of the. stock -lias gone, have failed to find anything indicating a movement thereto get a controlling interest iu the stock. Tlie Iflim Julep. Col. Lamar still remembers how a mint julep should be made. Geu. Dick Taylor, in some of his writings, de- **,bed a mint julep In a most tantal- ig way. Col. Lamar now gives such description as will restore the julep to its former glory. If we knew where our old friend Jake Kueller was we would send a copy of the Tele graph with an account of the famous beverage. Col. Lamar, in Thursday’s Tele graph, thus discourses: A friend writes to ask us if tlie old- fashioned mint julep has really goue out of fashiou. To this we can only give a mixed answer. Probably the old-fashioned julep is in its decadence as a public drink, but it does not fol low that the art ot constructing this famous Southern refresher Is lost. On INSTANCES IF HEROISM.

A Negro ElopetWIlh a While IVo- lnuu—The Couple Caught. Valdosta, Ga., September 13.—La>t Wednesday night, a mulatto man, ac companied by a white woman, reached Valdosta about eight o’clock. They came in a buggy, and were bouud south want. Just before reaching here, their horse was taken sick, and it was with some apparent difficulty that they arrived safely in town. The negro soon engaged the services of Mr. P. W. Stallings, who has tlie reputa tion of beluga horse doctor. While Mr. Stalling* was administering to his horse patient, he noticed that the woman was cryiug and seemed to be in trouble. His suspicions were aroused, and he reported the matter to some friends, iu the meanwhile the colored man and his coni|muion had left town, going in the direction of Florida. The}' stopped at the resi dence of Mr. M. C. Ulmer, about two miles from town, ami asked for lodg ings tor the night. The negro being a light mulatto, and Mr. Ulmer lookiug at him iu the moon light, no doubts were raised in his mind as to the char acter of his would-be guests, or tlie race of eitner. The couple were ad- miilitp \l l* lillklui* 1 c IiihC- The contract to build a new court house for Sumter conn tv has milted uuder Mr. Ulmer’s hos pitable roof aud asked out to supper. The man said he was sick and would retire but “his wife would sup with the family.*’ Some time after the inmates of the house had retired, a party, who had been on the 'track ot tite suspicious couple, reached Mr. Ul mer's and inquired, if he had any strangers within his home. He was told.what cpiuious had been formed of iiis guests, ami that in all likelihood the man was a negro. Early next morning Mr. Uliuar and his friends were up waiting for the appearance of the stranger. When lie came from jis room and met his host, .it was told by an officer present that he must go back to Valdosta and explain matters. He asserted most positively that he was a white man and married his companion three years ago in Columbus; but his hair and features clearly iudieated his ori gin. Mr. Ulmer was naturally very indignant at the thought that a negro mail ami white woniau had thus iui l>o?ed upon him. Tlie couple were brought back to town ami lodged iu jail.

No man can fall in love with such a mixture, l’oor juleps have ruined the reputation of tlie South’s most favorite drink. |( Don’t Bing Again. Atlanta Constitution. The chestnut bell has run its to.irse in Atlanta. Lieutenant Wm. Sparks has killed It. When the bell was first introduced in Atlanta, 1t quickly became popular because it was a fine territory for stale jokes and games. But in a short, time every bootblack and everybody else had a bell, and on every corner it? music was heard. Iu a short time, if auy one started a good story, some crank would tap a gong and give the crowd the horrors. But thanks to Lieutenant Sparks, the. horrors will go with the chestnut bell. Lieutenant Sparks is one of the liest story tellers iu Atlanta, and always keeps on hand a fresli stock of joke* as well as a fresh stock of meat. He soon fell a victim to the chestnut bell, and it worried him. He began to de vise some plan to get rid of it, and day before vesterday, sent out fifty postal cards. 'The cards were addressed to the largest men in Atlanta, only one being less than six feet tall. Last night the men met in response to these cards in the rear of Lieutenant Sparks’s butcher emporium and organized an Auti-Chestnut Bell society, of which Lieutenant Sparks was unanimously elected president. The platform of the association Is: “We do solemnly pledge ourselves not to support for any office in ihe gift of the people, or to trade with any man who buys or sells or keeps for un lawful sale, a chestnut bell. We fur ther pledge ourselves when a man rings a bell, to say nothing, but gently tap him behind the left ear. Any deathly sh*nwer~of mi-ssile*; and t«H»k lu-r little iWk fo Washington square. The candle was kept burning all night, its place lieiug supplied with another as it expired, ami as soon as it was known in the crowd that a “holy candle,’ v as Protestants call ft, wa lighted tlie owner was at once sur rounded by a crowd of ladies and children. Not a breath of air was stirring on Tuesday night, aud the “holy caudle” slied its feeble light until* day break, giving at least a little comfort and cheerfulness to hearts that were sorely bowed (down with woe. member goiug back on these principles shall be declan leclared au autiquated chest nut bel!.” This morning Lieutenant Sparks will dispense beef with a broad smile and give heavy weight. The Niagara Whirlpool. Philadelphia North American. The whirlpool, well called “the an griest bit of water in the world,” is three miles below tlie great Falls of Niagara. At this roiut the river, bending toward tlie Camulian side, is contracted to a width of about 220 feet. The waters rush violently into a deep depression in tlie steep cliff that rises on the Canadian side,then they emerge, turning back almost at a right angle to the American side. This spot seems to be a portion of the bed of an ancient chauncl. Hei e tlie angry waters boil aud chum with a fierceness almost in credible. The waves are never at rest. They toss and whirl and toy with the heaviest timber. It makes one dizzy to look at the fierce tumult of the waves. The great maelstrom covers a space of about a quarter of a mile square. Its depths arc etiormonsand unknown. One thousand feet of coni was found too short to reach the bottom. The w hirlpool is iu the form of a large cir cle. The average force ot the volume of water moving through the canyou above is 185.000 feet square. This coui|>aci mass of water moves with In credible swiftness, entering the whirl pool ou cue side, spiuulug around like a top and then passing uutdly on. «•* ? uud The qui^t cjty of M;mni has h'iil an other excitement. A fe»- nights since tome unknown patties placed dyna mite cartridges, or some explosive ma terial, on the street car truck which leads out to Gilesville. When the car reached a bad locality, known as' Sandy Bottom, where many rough's re side, the explosion occured. The car was empty, carrying none but the driver. Oneof the mules .was badly injured. Tbc incident created much indignation, and the gnilty parties will be discovered if possible. The Verdict Cn.uituans. W. I). Suit. Druggist, Bippus, lud., testifies: "I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given ret ef in every case. Oite man took six bottles, auil was cured of Rlieumatism of 10 years’ stauding.” Abram Hare, druggist, Beliville, Ohio, affirms: “Tlie best selling medicine I have ever handled in ray 20 years’ experience, is Electric Bitums.” Thousands of others have added their testimony, so tliat -the verdict is unauimous that E‘ Bitters do cure all discasesof the Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at I-amar, Rankin & Lamar's drug store. 2 Democratic Campaign llo»k. The Democratic National Campaign Committee ha? prepared a book for the catn|Ktigii tlii? tall. This I? the concluding paragraph of the book: “Many reforms which have been enumerated in these pages have been inaugurated since the be ginning of tlie Forty-eighth Congress, aud It is eminently appropriate that some mention should be made of the eminent Democratic statesmen who have presided over tlie last two Demo cratic Houses. When Mr. Carlisle was elected Sj»eaker of the Forty- eighth Congress he took the chair without beiug encumbered with a sol itary pledge. He was. thereiore, en abled to place the most capable and ahlest men on the most appropriate committees instead of having party friends to reward. This action was tbc genu from which sprang much wholesome legislation. Perhaps It is no disparagement of any of tils illus trious predecessors to say tliat since tlie foundation of the government no man has ever exceeded the preseur Speaker in the various attributes of fairness, ability, honesty and parlia mentary knowledge. His motto ha? been that he serves his partv liest who serves bis country best. It 1? ‘ * nature to be fair. Thu Repaid leaders have given frequent testimoni als of this, and the Democrat? of the country may well point to the recon l ent relief, of the Speaker of the Forty-eighth and per bottle. Fortr-mnth Congresses as a prophecy of what will be their action in the “ ture.” are recorded. One i? worthy of S)iecial note. At the intersection of Reed and King s reels, a.? u wagon was going aloug, tlie shaking of tne dreadful visi tation caused tlie |x or animal attached to the wagon, a? it by iitimtitm, to stop, sliiveriug. in his ttacks. No voice, no encoitragciiieur, no applica tion of the lash could induce him to move. In au itisiuur afterward the earthquake was on tlie city and the whole gable end of a store near the doomed driver fell with a crash to* tlie street. Everything was involved in one promiscuous rum. It was just here, however, tliat the sublimity of human dariug was evoked by the catastrophe which had just been witnessed by dozens of pereous. At least a dozeu ol tiiese, before the earth had recovered from tlie vibration, rushed over on the pile made by the dismantled gable ou the street and made de.?|*erate effort.? to rescue the man, who bad been int.-.nit ty - killed;** Tills'" happened * even while the dust of the house was still tailing'. A man who was on King street, neat Reed', it the very instant of Die shock saw some manifestations of heroic liu- uiau # nature that should be put on record. Iu that neighborhood are a number of stores kept by small pro prietors, whose families live on the -ecoud floors. These stores are lighted iu many instances by kerosene lamps, the explosion of which at 4uat time and plane caused the first fires. The premonitory -sounils of the oncoming earthquake brought the people to their feet. The first impulse was,of course,to flee to the streets, and even before the actual shock occured, the pavements were filled with a terrorized and surg ing mass of men aud women. It u> the hour when all the children wereiu bed. Hardly had the excited citizen: re died the streets when the visitation launched itself tti>ou the city from above or below iu all Its fury. There were vivid flashes of light in some stores and in oUiers Die lights went out and left shell of Die iu mates a- re mained iu utter darkness; The sudden blazes of light were the explosion? of the keroseue lamps which occurred -imltaitcoitsly with the first shock. Then ensued a scene of horror ami dismay such as is beyond the power of pen to describe. The ]wralyzed seuses of the frightened citizens must have been restored b\ miraculous iuter|>osi- tioii. Til ruing from their places of fancied security iu the open air, the thoughts of lather.? and mothers and sisters went back L<* their little ones who had bceu abandoned ou the seewud floors of the totteriug houses, but the road to these -unconscious sleepers was through flames or through house? wrapped iu darkness. In the clothing stores the overturned kuu|ts had iguited the lighter materials, and iu an instant there were fires licrc, there anti everywhere. The light was sufficient to expose to the gaze of one outside the scenes that were bei**g en acted within. Here an old man could l»e seen -grasping in his trembling hands whole sheets of blazing doth aud rushing with them out into the street. The clothes of many who were engaged iu the hazardous work of self- preservation dtught on tire, and there i? not 'he slightest exaggeration in saying that dozens of Uiese poor peo ple fled back into the streets wrapped iu a circle of flaine. But they helj»ed each other with Die euergy which only ?ueh sublime moments could inspire, and casualties by fire were happily averted. A lady, who Is a very devout Cath olic,, thinks she owes a great deal, to her blessed caudle. Whew the shock of Tuesday night was over, and after the house was comparatively settled down on its pins, she went to her trunk, where she kept Die caudle, blessed for her on Candlemas Day. This she at once lighted, and with an infant in one arm and the other child ren following, the affrighted party started to esca|»e from the falling debris. The house, after its rockings jiad. become a little mixed, and the doors were jammed §o that the fleeing party could not get into Die streets through the f.'out door.

Among the resolu tions was tlie following: Ilcauivcd, That, as in tbe judgement of thi? meeting tlie late attacks made iijmmi General Jaekson iu the press ol tite United States are entirely uncall ed for, ami are not in any *ensc justi fied by the Tarts, we view with pain atul indignation the attempts to ascribe unworthy motives to him in connec tion with a recent deplorable occur rence, and express our sincere regret that silence mid forbearance on tlie part of re-iileut Americans in regard to sa'.d occurrence arc being used ns weapons against their honored repre sentative, whose character we regard as above reproach, aud we hereby pub licly eXpres^uir admiration ot the manly, liouora> le aud dignified course pursued by him during the exciting eceuts of t”e la.-t lour weeks. The following resolution was then unanimously adopted amid tlie great est entlni.-iaiii: lic'»lced. That this meeting indorse? the telegram sent Aug. JO by Consul General Porch to Secretary Bayard, as stating correctly the fact? of the Sedg wick scandal Sjieeche? were made liy prominent American residents ami transients, haudliug the United States State De- |inrtmcnt without gloves for protect ing Sedgwick; also that it served America ns'*right for trying to shield Sedgwick and tiiat Sedgwick or hi? friends had-take'n 'advantage, or this leniency in trying to shield Sedgwick •t the eX|MMi*e of Minister Jackson. The greatest iudigii itiou is expressed everywhere, and should Sedgwick re turn to Mexico City to attend Gen. Diaz’? ball, as lie said he would, lie will probably hear from tlie American colony. Bob Taylor. * The Taylor brothers, of Tennessee, guliernatorial candidates, are eugaged in a joint debate. Recently Bob Tay lor, the democratic candidate, opened the joint debate thus: Fellow Citizens: In tlie days of the Roman empire it was the custom of the emperors to amuse themselves and their subjects with cruel and bloody entertainments called gladiatorial con tests. it is possible that many of yon have come here to-<iay with the (ear that you may witness a similar exhibi tion of brutality between two brothers scrambling for the same office. In this country there are two great ideas of free government—tbe republican idea and the democratic idea. The representative of the republican idea in thi? campaign is niv brother. It devolves upon me as the choice of the democratic party of Tennessee, to rep resent the democratic idea. Is there anything improper, indelicate or m> brotherly in our meeting to discus? publicly* the interests of a great State and a great nation under these two ideas? We have not met to wraugle or quarrel or scramb'e for tbe high of- de can- fice for which we have been made can didates. The «ender bond of brother hood is neither severed nor abraided by ofir differences of opiuion in poli tics, nor can tlie discussion of politico! questions disturb the delicate relations. TJie rod rose aud the white rose bloom together and shed their odors upon the same atmosphere, and, gently strug gling for supremacy, glorify tlie twi light hours. My brother represents to-day the red rose and I represent the white. Our political histories vary in this, that in my bttdhood I was trans planted by tender aud loving hands into the sweet gardens of pure democ racy ; while lie, like the “last rose of slimmer,” in the desert of republican ism, was left blooming alone. Ful many a gem oi purest ray serene, Tbe dark unfatbomed eaves of ocean hear. Fall aianr a flower is born to bta*h unseen And waste iu sweetness upon tbe tteaert air. But, fellow citizens, when you shall have all taken a smell, and then take your choice of blossoms, the red rose will have the happy consolation that he is the brother «>t the governor.

Galveston News. Atlanta, Ga., September 6,18S6.— Dear B : Having seen some news paper reports in regard to prohibition and its effect ou Atlanta as to business and property values, you clip some of them aud send tiiyui to me and ask me, “what about it?” The newspapers are correct when they say that A;lanta has been greatiy Jamaged by prohibi tion.” Except iu two or three streets, which are the dry goods street? aud tvholesale street?, the business, I should say, is off 40 per cent., and property worthless in about the same ratio. Our population has dimiui-hed, some sav 10,000, 1 will sav at least 5.000. These are mechanics and laborers mostly. Ol course nierchants whose business has beeu stopped have also gone elsewhere. Hundreds of thousands of capital lias been transferred to other places, and .-■ vast deal of property made vacant. J should say that rent is off 25 to 40 pei cent. There seems to be no energy i.i the dty, aud all efforts of the prohibi tionists to raise a boom have most signally tailed. Thty tried to rccapt ure tlie State fair; the Georgia Midland railroad terminus. They have tried to build a rail road from Atlanta to the Savnuah river, and one from Atlauta to Haw- kinsvillc. .They swear Atlanta is not hurt, and try to buildose the anti-pros to swear to it, too. They have now organized a very extensive manufac turers’ association, witli every tiling ill ruiining order except tlie inoin-y. In fact, in every instance where nu*effort has been made to revive ami relnvigor- ote the city there has been a complete failure. Wnut of coulideuce is om- reason. Old t'riemls are estranged from each other, as I assure you that Republicans and Democrats were uevei *> wide apart a? the fanatics and con servatives are. You may never have thought of ir, but it is the t ruth never theless, a man crazed on the snbject of reJigiou is the crazier •*» an on earth. Today we have all the evils of intem perance, with no modification since prohibition went into effect. We have as usual driinkiiess, debauchery, as sault of all degrees* murders occasion- Uly, and any and all other evils that infest a large ami populous city. Pro hibition has not changed Atlauta oue iota in any of these particular.?. Prohibitionists deny tlies** tilings and i thousand ineu of Atlanta, 1 suppose, would go on the Hand aud there make denial, but I have written you the truth all the same.
