Winchester, Who \Vn» Aecl- (lenlnlly Shot VerterHnj After noon, mill Alive, But In n Bad Coudlliott. From Wednesday's Evening Ilurnld. Yesterday afternoon Mr. J. D. Win chester, of Hardup, was shot and per haps fatally wounded. A report reached the city this morn ing that he was dead, but a report re ceived at a later hour establishes the faot that he is still alive, though In a precarious condition and liable to pass away at any moment. Mr. Winchester started out for a short hunting trip yesterday after noon in a road cart. Unfortunately his gun, which he had with him in the cart, was loaded. The horse took fright from some cause or other and starting to run, Mr. Winchester was thrown oqt and the gun with him. In the fall the gun was discharged, the entire contents of it being emptied into his abdomen on the left side, and ranging upward to the thoracic cavity. \ lie was taken into a hoSse and I)r. W. W. Bacon, of this city was summon ed, and did all he could for the wounded man, but when he left him he said he was liable to die at aqv time. Dr. Bacon stated the above fBbts to a Herald reporter, saying that it would not surprise hint to hear of Mr. Winchester’s death at any moment, the nature nnd serious ness of the wound making it impossi ble that he will live long. The wounded man is a distant rela- liveof Mr. R. F. Winchester who lives near Albany and is quite well known in the city. All who know him regret very much to hear that lie met with such a sad and serious accident. G1BI.N' GOSSIP. Gilds nnd Hilda Tbnl DellRht the Peini. nine Fnncy. .TIB. C. C. CAMPBELL DEAR. The Well Known nnd Popular Colton Compress Sinn Died nt II la Haute I in Cincinnati This iflnruliiR. The new bonbon boxes, already on sale for the holidays show many ex quisite designs. They are a part of the artistic progress of the day, being beautifully finished in every detail. The Dresden designs are not entirely eliminated and the rocco arc still in strong evidence, but in every style they are so dainty and beautiful that they will long outlive the vanishing sweeties which they inoiose. TO HOLD HER LOVER’S PORTRAIT. A pretty ornament for a chatelaine is a small gold lantern, the glasses be ing represented by oolored stofles, and the slide being of gold; when this is drawn aside, instead of the bright light expected, the face of somebody near and dear to the wearer is seen. The little lnntern is, after all, only a clever device for holding one’s lover. NEW COLD BUCKLES. The new gold buckles, to bo worn over the broad black velvet belts, are novel in design. They represent gold ribbon, about half an inch wide, twisted in add out to form a long oval shape. The Empire style of gown certainly admits of more adornment than we have been accustomed to of late, and tabliers are again likely to come into favor. Ties are worn long, crossed at the back over the hair, and either tied under the chin, under the left ear, or recrossed around the throat and tied at the back. Red is to he extensively used in mil linery, not only the deeper tints, but a brilliant scarlet; gilt wire bonnets are embellished with field poppies and trails of trumpet creeper and loops of red ribbon. A pretty fancy is for bridesmaids to walk up the churoh aisle ip diamond procession, first one bridesmaids, then two, and a fourth alone, followed by the bride with her father. Half-inch and inoh-wide trimmings figure on the skirts of gowns, covering also the gauntlet cuffs. Some of these are of silver and some of gold, with small square buckles of ,jet;at intervals. -rTommy. Watson comes in now for his share of the fun. The special commit tee appointed to examine into the charges made In his book are consult ing as to what should be done in re gard to the report which was made last session. Many of them favor expul sion, but the report lfea.ves the matter entirely in the hands of the House. Watson'shoulcJ be allowed to remain, but of course should , be censured for his false and malacious charges. They’ll be rid of him after March. Albany has not only held her own as the commercial center of Bopth- west Georgia proper during the ye%r now drawing to a close, but has gath ered strength. Her banking facility* have been extended and her commer cial importance has not shrunk, but grown pteadHy, during the present year, which has been one of the most trying, financially speaking, the coun try has ever experienced. From Wedno-dnv's Evening Hekalii. Mr. C. C. Campbell is dead! This sad and startling announce ment reached Albany by telegraph from Cincinnati this morning, and was repeated many times ns business men met throughout the day. Mr. Campbell was identified with Albany in a business way, and his death is,-therefore, a matter of local oonoern. He established the Campbell Cotton Compress Company here about seven years ago, and resided iiere witli his family for a year or more. For tile last three or four years, however, he had spent onlyn portion of the win ter season in this city, but continued to be the recognized head of the busi ness which he established here. His company is known ns the Cincinnati Cotton Compress and Warehouse Company, and does an extensive cot ton business. Mr. Campbell was a man of keen conception, shrewd business sagacity and indoqiitnble energy—qualities which are calculated to give a man prominence in any community in which he may loonte. He came to Al bany a total stranger, but soon made many friends among the lending busi ness men of the city. He was an en terprising, public-spirited man, and, after establishing his cotton compress hero, did as much ns perhaps any one identified with Albany in any way to contribute to the progressive spirit which seemed to take hold of the town about, that time. As a result of the establishment of the Campbell com press here, Albany’s cotton receipts were at cnee largely increased, and tile Herald, in chronicling his death, feels that it is due him to say that Al bany owes a grent deal to him. His death was due to Bright’s dis ease. He had been in feeble health for some time, but tlio news of his death this morning was a great surprise to tlie people of Albany. He went from ffihomnsville, where lie had put up one of his compresses, about the first of November, and it was learned by the Herald today that lie told one of his most intimate friends Hint ho was go ing home to vote for Cleveland nnd to die. The “Campbell Compress” shut down for the day and tile attuchees and em ployes went into mourning this morn ing us soon as the news of Mr. Camp bell’s dentil was recoived. Mr. Campbell’s family are all in Cincinnati, and across the distance that intervenes to-day the Herald would waft the condolence and sympa thy of an entire community to those who mourn for this loved one. Au Albino Among Swallows. When I arrived nt Westgate-on-Soa I was told by my gardener that a white Bwallotv had been seon during tlio last few days at Bircllington, a village about two miles from hero. 1 determined to go over and see it next day. Alas, before I arrived, there the bird had disappeared. On the same evening it was brought to me alive, with one wing shattered by a gunshot. Its beauty had proved its doom, and, os if rare loveliness were a crime, a price had been put on its head and several men with guns, not licensed, had been watch ing for it. The man who struck it lost it in the long grass of the meadow, and some hours afterward it was picked up by two little hoys. With great care and attention I have been able to keep it alive, and, so far, save it from the bird stuffer. It now readily takes flies from one’s hand, and is very tame, hut through the cruel cupidity of so called bird collectors it will never he able to fly again, and a beautiful rarity of na ture, with its snow white wings glis. tening in the sun, has been lost. The eyes have a deep pink tinge and the under part of tho body is pure white; the head, back and upper part of the wings aro of a pretty light mouse color.—Cor. London Times.

The fancy for small watches is a revival of ancient fashion, It is chronicled that bloody Queen Mary possessed an octagon silver watch, whose dial plate measured only nine- tenths of an inch in diameter. Her unfortunate namesake, Mary, queen of Scots, took pride in a small silver death’s head that concealed a dial in its throat. The works took the place of brains, and were wound up with catgut. The lower jaw opened fin. hinges to reveal the dial, and a small ring in the top of the skull served to attach tho uncanny ornament to a chatelaine.—Jewelers’ Review. Congressman Blount has entered upon the last of his twenty years ser vice in the nation’s legislative halls. He has made s record to which ali Georgians can 1 point with pride, and which should he officially rewarded when his time expires. Americans are more prone to wor ship wealth while the owner of It is living and there is a chance for them to get some of it, than to eulogize the wealthy dead. This, especially, ap plies to that class of Americans repre sented by the New York press, as dem onstrated by the life and recent death of Jay Gould. Albany has an inventive genius, Mr. Gustave Pothin, who came here from Jacksonville something over two months ago and has since been In the upholstering business, lias quite a wonderful invention and one which is destined to meet witli success. He calls it a “lightning elevator,” and in truth its . wo^k justifies that name. It is an elevator forked at the bottom by a lever, and so evenly bal anced that a great deal of power is ob tained. The motion of the lever is a quick one, and the machine Is made so as to give a rise of two feet for every inoh through which the lever moves. Thus, as quick as a lever can be moved through twenty-five inches the eleva tor lias rlsitn to a Height of fifty feet.

Friday Afternoon Marketing In tho Heart of tho Jowlnh liunrter. Between Grand street nnd East Broadway Norfolk street is one of the most picturesque .thoroughfares of the city. It Is in the heart of the Jowisli quarter, and is a great marketing place. Every night the stores, tho streot stands nnd the ped dlers’ wagons do a lively business, and on Friday afternoon, just before the first stars in tlio sky proclaim the arrival of the Sabbath, the scone has some of the aspects of Saturday in the big markets of the town. The basement stores are really noth ing more than cellars, having been originally used ns such, and duly re cently remodeled for their present purposes. Newly all are occupied by linkers, nnd tlio proprietors can ho secu hus tling around attending to their cus tomers with their sleeves rolled up above their elbows aud their persons and clothes covered with flour. There are also bread Btands upon tho streot. Nearly all of the bread used in this quarter is made of rye flour, mid the crust is baked very hard and brown. Tho ioavos, which are round or olilong, shade from light yellow to a very dark brown, and they look clean and appetizing. Tho streot is filled with children from toddling infants to boys and girls twelve nnd thirteen years old. Very fow boys above the 1 age of thirteen can ho seen at play, because after a Jewish hoy arrives at the age of thirteen lie is supposed to liavo taken on man's estate, and with it the cares and dignity of aman. Most of tho peddlers’ carts contain vege tables, which usually look question able. Those and the meats and AbIi cause occasional raids ou tho'part of tho hoard of health. Other interesting features of Nor folk street are tho tobacco stores and stands. Cigars aro not as prominent in the disph'y ns in ordinary pluccs, but tho long cut Turkish and Russian tobacco for cigarette and pipe use appear to ho most popular. The cigarette habit seems to have taken hold of the population of this quar ter to a remarkable degree, as the stained fingers of most of the meu aud youths attest. The cigar stands, however, labor under a disadvantage on Fridays, because smoking is one of the things forbidden on the Sabbath, and tiib patrons therefore buy few smoking materials on ,Friday. As soon of evening comos the vegetable carts disappear and so do the street stands, while most of the shops are locked up. With tlie approach of darkness the children also disappear, and the street hocomes very quiet.—New York Sun. A Mushroom Whlcl^ Tntoxlcatea. Tho inhabitants of tho northeastern part of Asia use a mushroom to pro mote intoxication. It is known ob the fly blown mushroom, and is also very abundant in Scotland. The fungus Is gathered in the hottest part of the year, and is then hung up by a string in tho air to dry. Some nro dry before gathered, nnd these nro stated to be far more narcotic than those artificially preserved. Usually the fungus is rolled up like a bolus and taken without chewing, for if ■masticated it is said to disorder tho stomach. One large or two small fungi produce what is looked upon as a ploasant state of intoxication for one day. The effect is the same as that produced on taking a quantity of spirits or wine, except it is delayed from one to two hours after the bo lus has been swallowed. At first it produces very cheerful emotions of the mind; it renders spjno perspns exceedingly active, and is a stimulant to muscular exertion; thUB, if a person affected by it wishes to step over a straw or a small stick it impels him to take a jump sufficient to clear a low hedge Or the trunk of a tree; it keeps those fond of music perpetually singing, and underitsin fluence a talkative person'ean neither keep secrets * or silence, hence it is a source of danger to ladies and poll ticiana. —Horticultural Times. • i- i .pTtTSin-n 1 .', n!" ■ How Positive People Obstinate peoplo, who in ian argu ment roly more on muscularity than on intellectual power, rest the feet flat and firm on the ground, walk heavily and slowly, arid stand with the le’gs firmly planted and far apart.

Perplexity occasions irregular steps and abrupt movements. The prudent walk is measured and regular, en tirely free from hurry, agitation or precipitation. The miser’s walk is represented as stooping, noiseless, with short, nervous, anxious steps.— Pall Mall Gazette, Attendance at Chnrch.

Tlie meeting was adjourned shortly nfter 5 o’olook, subject to tlie call of the president. Tlie Sense of Time tn Sleep. A Massachusetts man tells the fol lowing: “I arrived one day at a sleepy Italian town and joined a party of friends. It was in the late afternoon, and I was very tired. 1 had been rowing a distance, and I soon went up stairs, lay down in my boating flannels for a little rest before dressing and foil directly asleep—one of those Btony, moveless sleeps that seem to tire more than rest one. When I awoke I was surprised to see by the light that it wub not night, not even morning; but by the shad ows of late afternoon, and from my senso of having been nsloop a long, long time, I realized that I had slept for twenty-four hours. "A little dazed uml ashamed of myBelf, I got ready, wont down and joined my friends. They did not seem to pay much attention to my absence; in short, they did not act at all strange, and when I apologized for not having joined them ut din- nor the day before they said, ‘Why, you were not hero yesterday,’ and In some way or other, little by little, it was borne in upon me that I had been asleep about ten minutes. If I had been aloue I should certainly have lost a day out of my life.’’—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A GOOD Infantile Development. It is wonderful enough that in fants of a fow weeks or months should make unmistakable manifes tations of the simpler, emotions of fear; affection and anger. But that an emotion so complex as jealousy should'appear so early as at the age of ten months is especially remark ably and indicates a degree of de velopment., at this age which, in the absence of observation, might justly be deomeri mqypfHble. ,• Darwin observed jealousy in an in fant ,of 154 irioriths, but adds, “It woulil probably be exhibited by in fants 'at ! an' earlier age if they were tried'in a fitting manner!"—Cor.
