VIBIJC SPIRIT AND MON BY. ic it An y The readiness with which the mon eyed men of New York responded to gn appeal made by the Chamber of Commerce of that city for a cholera emergency fund is worthy of note. First came the Mutual Life'Insu rance Company with a donation of ^t40,00fj. Then came Drexel, Morgan & ■Co, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Phelps, Bodge & Co., with subscriptions of 410,000 each. Others followed with subscriptions ranging from $5,000 down to $5, and in a day tile fund readied $118,000. This speaks well for the wealthy business men of New York. They are generally supposed to be hard-hearted, uncharitable set, but when it comes to real charity and a home-reaching emergency they nre not niggardly. WEAVER’S WORD*. ed or wanted.

The mnjority of the audience was composed of Third Party farmers from surrounding counties, comparatively few people in town attending the blowout. Weaver made ills usual harrangiie, but loft the reply to the Pulaski charges to Mrs. Lease. Weaver bad good attention for u While, but finally was drowned out by dicers for Cleve land. Mrs. Lease followed Weaver with her usual address. When site denied the Pulaski barges, Alt'. Horton, of the Atlanta Journal, took the stand with his alll- davits. Weaver objected to the inter- option, but Horton held his grojind until pulled off tho stage by the pro prietor of the opera house. There were no converts made here. C. A. N, J. A.

J. B. Weaver, at Oskalonsa, Sept. 25,1872. 1 Mouit 1 Socidiy New*. Tlie Atlanta Journal of Wednesday prints tlie announcement of tho en gagement of Miss Fannie Holcombe of DeWitt, and Mr. Henry Tarver of this city. Tlte engagement of these popu lar young people so well known in Al bany is by no means a surprise to their tnany friends here. The Journal says: The engagement of Miss Fannie Holcombe, of DeWitt, and Mr Henry Tarver has been announced. Miss JHolcomlie is well known in Atlanta, and is universally admired wherever she visits. She represents a distinct classof cultured and attractive woman hood, and has always been much sought after. Mr. Tarver is an ele gant gentleman and a successful bus iness man, and is indeed to be congrat ulated upon the bride he hns won. The wedding will occur at the home of the bride some time early in No vember. A large number of guests from a distance will be entertained and the occasion will be a notably ele gant one. • This is but one of the many wed dings which are to occur in Albany this fall. Several of our young men having met their fate, have given up all hope of living lives of celibacy, and will bow at Hymen’s altar in the near future. Mrs. DeWitt Clinton Bacon is at the Kimball house in Atlanta for a few days. She has just returned South from a delightful summer spent at Lake George and will shortly leave that city for her home in DeWitt, where she will entertain many charming 1 people during the winter months.

Tile crop report for tills section of Georgia says: In the southwestern counties tlie rainfall lias been somewhat in excess of the normal, while tlie temperature and sunshine have been slightly be low the average. The early portion of tlie cotton crop has already been gathered and mar keted, while the late crop Is opening rapidly and picking Is in progress, but there will not be an average yield. The crop lias been slightly injured by tlie rains of the past week, as well as unfavorable weather conditions of pre vious weeks. Corn is being gnthered-nnd a good quality and heavy yield is expected. Sugar cane, peas and potatoes are growing nicely. Thrr Are laiiuch Fitter*. Tlie Third I’artyltes from Decatur county nnd other places along the road wrote to the Albany Inn to secure special rates, saying that if they were not granted they would bring along their lunches nnd eat them here. The managers of tlie Inn wrote them back to bring their lunches, ns there would be no special rates. The Third Pnrtyltes, therefore, ate their dinner on tlie curbstone. The Jail Full. Dougherty county jail is now the bldlngplaceof a larger number of pris oners titan it has contained in a long while, the total running up to the un usually large number of thirty-live. About twenty of tlie prisoners are to he tried at tlie October term of Dougherty Supreme Court, several cases go to the County Court, and three are in 1ail for safe keeping, awaiting trial in other counties. Deputy Slier iff Godwin is kept busy by the unusual number of boarders, and the county adds a considerable item to its expense account feeding and otherwise provid. lng for the prisoners. A Republican Convention. And now Albany is to be greeted with a convention of Republicans, with the same purposes in view that have actuated the other conventions. Col. Colored Ishnmol Lonon issues the following call to the Republicans of the district: Room Republican Ex. Com., Second Cong. Dibt. of Georgia, Albany, Ga., Sept. 20th, ’92. A convention of the Republicans of this district will be held at Albany, Ga., on Thursday, Sept. 29th, 1892, to nominate or indorse a member for Congress and transact such other bus. iness as may be necessary.

A Little Learnlag Proved ta Ue a Dnu- geroua Thing to Tlila Porker. About cloven years ngo a famous hog of almost suporporclue intelli gence wns attached toThe imperial circus at St. Petersburg, where it basked in the sunshine of fashionable favor throughout two gay winter seasons. This sagacious creature, at once a ready reckoner, fortune teller aud deft executioner of card tricks, was the property of one Tanti, a famous Italian clown, who had brought it up from infancy nnd taught it all its accomplishments. One night he and bus pig were biddou to a gathering of young officers of the Russian Guard sup ping together after tho performance, and were called upon to repeat tlie programme of tho evening—of course on pnymont of u handsome foe. At tho conclusion of tlie show ono of tho oflicei'B offered Tauti 1,000 rublqs for his pig. The clown declined to sell, pointing out that tho docilo and clovoi- animal constituted his chief source of income, nnd that, more over, ho was far too fond of it to part from it. Upon this tlie officers proceeded to tempt him by outbid ding one another until they ran tlie price up to (1,000 rubles. This sum, tho equivalent of over £700, and the reflection that ho could probably train anothor pig to replace the one thus exorbitantly valued, finally induced Tauti to accept tho offer, little thinking to what a dismal fate ho thereby consigned his pot. Next day the luckless animal wns slaughtered by order of its purchaser aud sent to tlio clown’s lodging with tlie messago tlint “no doubt Signor Tanti would like to taste a porker which had been so profitable to him in lifo and death alike.” Tho whole grim story, equally dis creditable to all concerned in it, got wind in St. Petersburg and made a painful impression upon Russian so ciety. A severe reprimand was ad ministered to the) officer whoso cruel freak had causod tlie death of a pub lic favorite, anil Tanti's popularity sensibly deolinod. Oddly enough, a few months later ho was fired at while cutting capers hi the ring by an eccentric Polish nobleman, whoso bullet just missed the clown, bury ing itself in the sawduBt at Ills feet, and causing him such affright that he fled from the circus like one de mented. When interrogated os to the motive of his extraordinary conduct the Sarmatian magnate—a well known sportsman and patron of the circus —calmly replied that “having been much diverted by the clown’s feats, he felt himself bound to Are a salute in Tanti’s honor.” Shortly after ward the recipient of this strange compliment quitted Russia.—London Telegraph. Tlie Formation of Mineral Veins. The processes by which natur* forms accumulations of silver are very interesting. It must he re membered that tho earth’s crust is full of water, which percolates every where through the rocks, making so lutions of elements obtained from them. Those chemical solutions take up small particles of the precious metal which they find scattered here and there. Sometimes the solutions in question ore hot, the water hav ing got so far down as to be set a-boiling by tho internal heat of the globe. Then thoy rush upward, picking up the hits of mptal ns they go. Nat urally heat assists tho performance of this operation. Now and then tho Btreams thus formed, perpotually flowing hither and thither below ground, pass through cracks or cavi ties in tho rocks, wliero they deposit their loads of silver, This is kept np for a great length of time, perhaps thousands of years, until the fissure or pocket is filled up. Crannies per meating tho stony mass in every di rection may become filled with the metal, or occasionally a chamber may be stored full of it, os if a myriad hands wore fetching tho treasure from all- sides and hiding away a future bonanza for some lucky prospector to discover in an other age.—Minerals. St. Patrick's Purgatory. Mediteval songs and legends’, which are rich in all sorts of mythical and fantastical lore, locate the entrance to St. Patrick’s famous “purgatory” on the island of Lough Derg, Ireland. The opening itself was through a cave, the existence of which was re vealed to the saint by Christ, who in formed the good Patrick that any one with the moral courage to go down into the cavern would be saved the pangs of the real “purgatory" after death. Patrick built a mon astery at the entrance of his earthly “purgatory" and secured the way to the pit by an iron gate provided with strong chains and locks of peculiar and intricate workmanship. Lough Derg, next to Jerusalem, was the most celebrated spot on earth during the Middle Ages. Thousands visited “purgatory” every year, and the whole island had the appearance of a populous city.—-St. Louis Republic. One case of $2.00 dress hats, just re ceived by Muse & Cox.

He Aettd us Though He Pelt He Hsl Got Kven with the Hotel Man. Ho sat ut the table of a country hotel aud ate and ate. Ho had driven hi from his farm that morning to sell a load of new potatoes, to the land lord, which had been demanded by the summer boarders. There had been some haggling over the price, nnd tlie landlord had thrown in a hotel dinner for the farmer to clinch tho bargain. Tho landlord wished he hud paid all cost before that din ner was over. Whon tlie visitor could eat no moro he leaned hack in his chair, tilted it slightly and found time to regard tho city folk about him, whoso poor appetites were a Bource of wonder to him. "These new potatoes of yours are excellent," said ono of tho party, anxious to draw him out in conver sation. “It's a 'tiu-nel shame to dig them now," answered ho. “They’re small yet nnd few in tho hill. It’s wasting good potatoes to eat them now. In a month they’d ho full size mid nothing wasted,” and ho sighed heavily, "but you city folks is mighty imjirovi- dent.” “And thon in tho Bpring you’d take out bushels and bushels of thorn that had decayed in your cellar, and throw them away," answered a port city girl who had had to contend with that sort; of economy boforo nt an other farmer's table. Tho farmer had no ready reply to this gibo, so bo looked uneasily about for a toothpick. ‘ ‘Tlio landlord doesn’t supply tootli- ;[licks any more," said the funny iiom-dor, "since tho guests took to carrying thorn awuy with thorn." Tho fanner looked ut the funny man patronizingly and replied: “The first newspaper with a patent inside that ovor cmne into theso parts, mis ter, had that joke in it. I’m onto your city ways, gents, und I know that it ain’t good style to pick your tooth at the table among ladies, but I am that worried with had tooth that I have to drop my manners after every meal 'ong enough to get the stray food out from between them every time.” “Why don’t you get a dentist to fill them for you?" asked another. “Some people can stand it,” said he, “hut I don't see how they do. It would bo no use for mo. I’d rather suffer the ache. From my oolt days I never could abide the least little thing between my teeth. "—New York Tribune. Great Farm* of the Weit.

Hawk uml Turtle. A gentleman who lives up the Os- tanaula river told of a peculiar oc currence in his vicinity the other day. He was fishing in the river when he saw a great red tailed hawk fly down and light 'by the edge of the stream. It was a sand bar and the hawk waded out a few feet in the shallow water. He then ob served tho hawk engaged in a fear ful struggle, as if held by something, and with great effort the bird rose and flew out in the field, carrying with it a big water turtle which it had attacked, hut which instead oi t ing caught had clutched one of the wk’sfeet in its powerful mouth and held on. Out in the field the hawk tried in vain to get away from the turtle, but could not. 'When it became too fatigued to fly the man went out and killed both with a hickory club.—Columbus (Ga.)
