/ 4 EDWIN MARTIN, I?i*opx*ietoi*. Devoted to Hojne Interests and Culture. TTTOBOLLARSA Year in Aflvanco, VOLUME IX. PERRY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY .93, 1879. NUMBER 4. OLORIOUSLY FALSE. [From ills Courier-Journal ] BJ WALKER KENNEDY. CHAPTER ILL porest all around. Already the aun hud rounded the western hills, bnt had w oven creamy mists into the unstartled *ir. Everything was a pait of the lull ing silence. Indeed, very unusual in the sound that cuts throngh that ever present solemnity, save the chirps of bird or the plash of the distant unseen onr on the Hudson, sounds that never become noises, and, into the un checked fancy, are but a dim remove from stillness. Yet, on this evening something melodious alarmed the ech oes so long untrained to their duty of catching prevalent sounds and sending them to a linger on long distant cour ses like a brook whose gleam is seer, a intervals through the trees, till lost, i.. the indistinctness of farness. But it teems to me the song that burst from « pair of strong and mellow lungs would have made an echo pant and pale with joy. However that may be, the owner of the lungs did not belie liis voice, for a finer youth one would scarcely wish to see. He rejoiced in a wiry, well-pro portioned form, to which seemed com bined the largest possible amount' of ■activity, with the most equitable share of flesh. The brown eyes were suscep tible to either mirth or sorrow as the heart was winged high by one orehain- cd by the other. Usually a cheerful expression prevailed his features, regu lar by 'culture. Such was Charley P* m ■ bertou. who had sent his baggage on to Scandaltown by the boat and was walking from G—ville to bis destina tion, for tbo exercise aud the scen ery. “Let me. see.” said ho to himself. “I ought to be near the town now. I had better approach the river aud lora'e myself. As I just had ten miles to walk, I .should be pretty near it now.” He accordingly made his way toward the river, and, in a short time, vea -lied the bottom of one of [the-numerous cliffs that frown majestically upon its waves. To climb it was short work for him, and when he stood on top of the picture wns worth the trouble spent. Landscape may be beautiful, but it. be comes s'ill more so when a living bein'? forms the center of it, lending, ns if vore, ft soul to a lovelv substance. Pembertou’s liv.-ly fancy eimh’eij him to go out foil lim- lf a»d view the scene ns we. do. He held a si lent figure, resting on a long staff; clear cut against, the sky. Half a mile up ward a sm tky mist arose to in-.Voate the situulioii of the town; while far 11s his eye could reach northward, south- w.inl, lay the motionless glitter of the noble river, spreading its sweep and gleam through the landscape. Across thestream where mighty oaks, making pleasaut cones of shade, aud conspi cious-striken with the lingering blush ■of the sunset. Having dvnuk in the glory of the scene, he set out briskly for the town, and soon reached the base ef the hill on which it was situa ted. This done, he began gf climb the winding path which lends to it. Around him many wild flowers sprang np nud offered their kiudly tributes of fra grance, and trailing vines clung loving- iDgly aronud the masculine trees which themselves were dusted over by velvet mosses. Throngh the undergrowth, which spread far up the steep, glimp ses of the towu were seen. The top of the declivity reached, there, sur rounded by golden corn and vegeta bles, it appeared, and a shout of pleas ure burst from Charlies lips at the sight of it As he entered Scandaltown romance took wings, aud hereafter it will make but rare flights in this story. Here and there he saw groups of men and women mending, aud unmaking repu tations. As he walked through the place he conld hear whispers such as these: ‘‘That's the new schoolmaster.” “Looks rather slim.” “Sort of wisdom- tooth,"and o‘her such sheering chimes. He spoke cheerlully to men who, he knew, would say alt manner of mean things about him as soon as the grin of salutation had_faded from their fa ces. But t was not his habit to be flown-herted, and, seemingly uncon scious of the eager scrutiny to which ks was subjected, he went on to the house of the trustee, wno was the rep- resentatives of the law in the place. He was cordially received by this gen tleman named Kingston, with no nui- ssnoesia the shape of gawky daughters, *® as willing to take onr friend to board He was a character, and a fine field for the study of eccentricity. He was so stmng a temperance man that he con demned even cider, saying that if God ■^mighty had intended 'that apples should be made into a drink, he would avepat a tin cap under each one of r ® 6 was almost an enthusiast on i fl* on * The prospect of acainp-meet- c g or a revival had the same effect on 'm as the announcement of a circus Jf 011 ?. street gamin or any ten-yesr- anJ i.- ^im, Charlie knew that he j fcu hlS re l )atation were safe. He soon ! perfectly at home, for it was Kings- J ton’s endeavor to make things cheer ful. Though everything was serene here he felt some misgiving as to the school. Rumor had reached him that two of the most energetically mischiev ous boys in the school had gone out to fight a duel the day before. This was the reverse of assuring. That night pistols and knives aud mischievous boys sauntered in an ofl-hand way through his dreams. Things, however, turned out to be not so bad as be expected, for human nature changes little in dif ferent climates, and when children are thrown with a new acquittance they are very apt to like him, if he seeks their good will. By a ready resolution and occa sional resorts to brute force, he soon had his discipline thoroughly es tablished. Ha soau found, in spite of the even tenor of affairs at schol, that he was oc cupying too important a position, judg ing from its duties. Complaints of all sorts of mischief, done at all times, were brought to him as if he were at once a school teacher, constable, and a Justice of the Peace. In fact, he had strong notions of running for all three positions, in order that the emoluments as well as the duties might be united, t-oae of tile boys who went to the school purloined some testaments from the Methodist Sunday-School- He was asked to ferret them out and punish iliem. Soon after this he was started by Kingston one morning at half past five, and informed that a gentleman wished to see him. He hunied on a few things, went dowa and stepp 1 d out into the moonlight, expecting some thing of great importance. It turned out to be an old shaggy country man. who began to wiitua out his misfor tune. One of the school-boys bad gone through his pasture that morning at. five o'clock; and, seeing his c>'W tied down, bad yielded to temptation aud cut the cord that bound her, Charlie mildly iu-inuated that school didn’t be gin before breakfast, and referred him to the Constable. At this he grew somewhat insulting iu tone. Thereup on Pemberioti coid him that if he did not- desire to a. ply to the Constable he would refer him to the devil, whitli>r he might go. Of course this was re ported all over towu with iugeuious va riations. In short, he "became a court of un common pleas, with tbo prearranged coxtaiuty of increasing the dissatisfac tion. Things dragged on iu this v-ay or some time; the clouds gathered, and the inroads into his reputation be came more daring and more frequent. He w u-ked hard, however, and snn.sci- euiiously. At length it told on his health, and culminah.-d in a week’s sick ness. During that time speculation had beeu a tiptoe as to the halt iv of his illness. Li tle c'-nfabs and scandal parliaments were heid in order to give an official account of the cause and pres ent c n lition of the disease. The thing was canvassed by some energetic female elec ioneeiers, who are not hap py until they have brought every incip ient scandal to its proper head. At length it came to a vole. Some credit ed him with cholera, bnt were voted down on the ground that cholera did not prevail in winter. This party showed an unruly desire to filibuster during the rest of the meeting. Others maintained that he had the delirium tremens, for it was generally understood that he often beguiled himself with in toxicating liquors, because, perhaps, he had never drunk anything of the sort in his life. Tuis view had many adhe rents, wko only gave it up when some thing more interesting and imaginative had been suggested. The advocates of small-pox were by far the most reso lute. not only because they embaaeed a majority of the most talented authori ties, but because they had also a strong card in the name of the disease. There was something lofty and striking to the fancy in it. The delirium tresmens par ty Were compelled to admit that it was a masterly invention, and each of i;s members hastened to swing with the popular tide. So it was made nnani m ms. Everywhere it was reported that Pemberton had the small-pox. The rnmor spread like wild-fire. The peo ple living out in the country came to ihe town to find cut if it were true, and went back thoroughly convinced. At the end of his confinement, Charlie went out to take a walk. What was his astonishment to find that be was avoid ed on alt sides. At first he did not pay much attention to it, but it became so marked that he asked Kingston if ha could aoeoant for it. He then, for the first time, found oat that it was every where reported and believed that he hd the small-pox, and he laughed oeartily over it. The next day he went back to school and found the benches almost deserted. A few children who were content to plod their dull way along without the enhvenmeat of news or the invigoration of scandal, had not heard the report and had come to school. To them he laughingly stated it and denied it The following day it was Known that the rnmor was false, aud of coarse the chnldren ail trooped back. This lie thought was the last of his small-pox, but he was happily mistaken. Yet the { consequences were not uniformly pleas ant. The narration of one of them is distasteful but imperitive. The very day on which he had taken up school lie was visited by a gentleman holding the enviable position of village bally. Towards him Pemberton had always acted with the deference dne undoubt ed talent. But he was not satisfied. The pleasantest remarks were not rich enough diet for him, and the small-pox business gave him a pretext for seeking a red-handed victory. As he approach ed Pemberton had some missgivings, bnt when he stood in his presence it wearied him to see the perfect Plevna of carnage in the-bully’s eye. He began by asking in & belligerent tone; “I believe you have said I got np the report about your having the small pox?’’ Pemberton denied saying anything about the matter of the inventor of the story, and said it was a small affair any how, and just so he did not haye the dread disease, he did not care, how much people reported it; that he took pleasure in absolving him from all participation, and in fact would go so far tvs to give him an affidavit of good character. This ho said sarcastically and defiantly that the man of muscle was more enraged, and said: “I repeat it; you did say so. I have g tod yioof of it.” Charlie was of course, not to be in- i aklated even in bis week physiciai state, so !.e raid, coaly.- ••f never said anything of the kind. I d.i not believe such a thing compat ible with the well-known amiability of your character.” . 1‘his irony only made things worse. The bully had said he did. Pemberton had said ha didn’t Virtually the lie direet. It is unnecessary to give fur ther doiails of this painful interview. Iu spite of Charlie's plucky defense, he was laid out iu a flaccid coaditou, and rein about as “game ’ ns a blade of wilt ed grass Bui he re-oived to engage iu Indian club exercise and have the en counter once more. For tiie rest of the day his eyesight failed him; but he con soled himself with the recollectiou that dark night had come even upou Homer’s heroes, aud that in life one iluds here a sunbeam, there a shadow. He had already shivered in the shadow, and so ou the next day he basked in his well-merited sunbeam. Kingston was for prosecuting the bully, but as the latter was the bosom friend of the reigning Magistrate aud the beau ideal of the Constable, Charlie thought he would let it pass. (to be continued.) The Indian Massacre.—We know ihat we are a Southern barbarian and can’t appreciate the finer feelings that ate so much boasted of as characteris tic of our brethren of the North. But we must confess that we aro shocked at the wantor butchery of the Cheyeuue Indians (men and women) who escap ed from Fort. Robinson the other day. As we understand it, they were only imprisoned there because they left the place in the Indian Territory to which the Government had forcibly removed them, and effected their escape from the fort when told that they were to be forcibly returned. Their massacre wtw the work of the agents of a -powerful government, but we apprehend, never theless, that iheir blood, like the blood of Abel, will cry from the ground against their slayers to the tribunal be fore whom human greatness is of no esteem.—Columbus Times. Akbest of an Abut Offices.—The New York Times st i tes that Captain Thomas Biair, the officer of the Fif teenth United States Infantry who mar ried the widow of Gen. Gordon Gran ger several months ago, was arrested in that city Thursday evening, at the in stance of the 'War Department, and is now held a prisoner ou Governors Is land, to await further orders from Washington. The Times says bat- little is known as to the nature of the char ges, bnt it is supposed that the forgery of official signatures to a paper pnr- porting to be his discharge from the service will be leading ch.irge. . It is alleged by the American Consul at Glasgow that Ca plain Blair, whose real name is Nichols, has & wife and children in Scotland. The Chinese Minister at Washington has been in no harry to discuss Mongo lian immigration with Secretary Evarfs and the President, who have been wait ing for him to show some sign of inter est in the subject, The Cabinet talked the matter over the other day, and came to the conclusion, as it was necessary for the Repndbcaa party to cany Cali fornia, that a repnblicoa movement to restrict Chinese immigration should be commenced soon, which will be suppor ted by the administration. It is be- DA WJT ON THE MO OF. A Rochester jonralisfc who visited Prof. Swift the other evening and had a view of the moon, says.” The tele scope, with a power of thirty-six diame ters, was turned upon the mooD. At first the flood of light was ctwindline, and the view was bnt curosy. The moon looked like a shield of embossed silver—the shield of Achilles—hang by his goddess mother iu the azure of the heaven. Prof. Swift looked over the field, aud noted as he looked many of the interesting points, and suggested that we follow the snnrise on the moon. On the moon the dawn advanced at the rate of ten miles an hour, lighting np new fields and furnishing to him an ever—changing panorama. Still, there is nanght but desolating, yawning wa ters, and sharp peaks of volcanic mountains aud circular walls with per pendicular sides that surronud deep pits. The moon is dead, to all appear ance—burned out with volcanic fires. No water laves the desolate and rag ged shores of its great sea bottoms. But in the gray plains, where some as tronomers think an ocean once spread, craters are seen with perpendicular walls. The gray plains can be seen with the naked eye, forming what is ea’led ’’the man in the moon“ on a map like the eastern continent. Uuder the telescope we conld trace what seemed at firrt to be shore lines on the borders oi this plain. Oa closer inspection, iu stead of wave-washed sand, these lines appeared to be bat rounded steps formed by successive lava bursts spreading over the plain and making, by the lessening flow, the gradual exhaustion of the vol canic force. From one of the largest craters rise three volcanic cones, the summits of which are tipped with sun light before thefl iorof the crater, is lin ed. Iu au other large crater two comes arise. From the larger craters rays spread ont, though the volcanic force cracked the firm crust in 'inheaval, in jecting through the broken surface ridges of dazzling white lava, that spread out like the arms ol cuttle-fish covering a vast surface. The grandest phenomena are to be observed by following the snn on the moon. The advancing dawn forms a ragged crescent line upon the surface still in darkness. The sun’s rays pass over dark chasms and low fields, light ing up ragged mountain tops far iu ad vance. They appear like little islands of light lying off the coast of an illu minated sea. High mountains and cra ter walls near the shore of light cas deep shadows. The circular rims of the crater are illuminated, aud shine like rings of silver, glittering upou a cush ion of darkness. The advancing dawn uow lights up the bases of the outlying maintains tbit beta moment ago, showed but a speck of light,- aDd still new mountain are tipped with sliver far in advance. The sunlight strike! upon the side o f a circular wall of a crater, and there is diver cresoent, with a black space be tween it and the sea of light. SIowlv the summit of other portions of the circular walls are lighted up, and then the sunlight invades the depth of the crater, while the shad ow of the wall nearest the sun stretches half across the floor of the chasm. Frequently great gap3 are broken in the crater walls, and streaks of light stream across the floor. The jagged rocks, in calm, cold beauty, shine and glitter in the fierce white light. The mountains are moun tains of desolation, and the valleys a re valleys of silence and death, They are wrinkled with the flow of lava and torn witli upheavals. The moon is dead. No air, no sea no forest shade, or living thing. The moon is a never-failing source of delight. It is awful in its suggestions of poll er and in its loneli ness of utter desolation. The Enobmous Durr os Quinine.— A few days ago a skillful physician who had long experience in the New York city hospitals said that qninine has become so mnch of a luxury that expHcits orders are in force requiring that when substitutes for qninine can be found they-must always be used. The duty on sulphate of qninine is twenty per centnm ad,valorem, and the price of the drag in onr markets i3 ad vanced nearly or qnite that amount. In the South, where immense quanti ties of quinine have to be used every year, the substitutkffi of less efficient bat cheaper medicines have become so common that we'have no hesitation in saying that thousands of deaths can be traced to this cause alone. In the light of these facts the Ways and Means Com mittee at Washington, with Mr. Fer nando Wood at its head, will shoulder a grave moral responsibility if it docs not report promptly the bilj abolishing THE BABYS DEA TH. There came a morning at last when: the baby’s eyes did not open. DrJ Erskine. felt the heart throb faintiv] under his fingers, but he knew it was j beating its last. He ti embied for E.iz- ebeth,and dared not tell her. She au ticipateed him. ‘ Doctor,” she said— her voice was so passionless that it might almost have belonged to a disemboded spirit ‘ I know that my darling is dying.” He bowed his head mutely. Her very calmness awed him. “Is there anytning you can do to ease her?” “Nothing, I do not think that she suffers.” “Thsn will yoa please go away. She is mine—nobody ’s but mine, in her life and in her death—and I want her quite to myself at last. ” Sorrowfully enough, he left her. Elizabeth held her child closely, bnt gently. She thought in that hoar that she had never loved anything c-Le—euv- er in this world should love anything again. She wanted to cry, but her eyes were dry and not a tear fell on the little upturned face, changing so hist to mar ble. She bent over aud whispered something in the baby’s ear—a wild passionate prayer that it would kucw her, and remember her again in the infinite spaces. A look seemed to an swer her a radiaut, loving look, which she thought mast-be bom of the near heaven. She pressed her lips in a last despairing agony of love to the little face, from which already, as she kissed it, the soul had fled. Her white wonder uad gone home. This which lay upon her hungry heart was stone.—“Some Womens ' Hearts.,, “The Gbhat Famine in Bbaziii.”— Mr. Herbert H. Smith, who is now in Brazil, collecting material for a series of papers ou that iuteresfcing empire, to appear in Scribner’s Monthlv writes as follews: “People iu the United States know little abont t-Lia groat fam ine that is r; giug iu the northwestern part of Brazil: I myself had no idea of its importance until very lately. It is enough to state that it affects at least one-fourth of the whole population of the empire, that hundreds are dying of starvation, and thousands of disease incident to exposure aud insufficient food. In the city of Cc.aru, which will be my principal point of study, the normal population of 40,000 has been swelled to 80,000 by fugitives irem the drouth-smitten interior country, and among this 80,000 the death rate has reached the enormous figure of 300 per nay. These drouths are periodical, oc curring once in tveuty or thirty years, it seems to me, therefore, that a study on the spot will be of very great im portance. It is entirely another side of Brazil from that which I haye be- f ore seen and written of.” Mr. William L. Stone, well known as a historian, and wish some repntation as an arclue jlogist, advances the idea that a race not yet classified, bat prob ably of Aztec origin, once occupied certain portions of central and eastern New York. He founds this belief npon sundry pipes, copper and bronze spear heads and spears, which have been found within the last year or two near Seneca Falls and Saratoga Springs.— The terra-cotta pipe is wrought with rhe Egycian of Sphinx-like cast of fea tures, so different from any of the rough eartlienwork of the American IndiaD, but not all unlike the discover ies made in some of the Ohio mounds The spear and. spear head are identical .in size and shape with the copper im plements discovered in the abandoned galleries of the ancient copper mines of Lake Superior, and there can be no doabt of their prehistoric character. The revisers of the New Testament have finished their second and final re vision. The company have he’d eighty five sessions, and have spent 337 days on the work, having began it in June 1870.

J her hands were fall of parcels, and it was difficult for her to raise it in the “Let- me, ma’am; let me, please; said a bright-faced boy, taking the um brella iu his hands. The astonished woman looked on with satisfaction, while he managed to raise the rather obstinate umbrella. Then taking out one of those ever handy strings which boys carry, he tied ail the parcels sung- ly into one bundle, an I politely banded it back to her. “Thank yon very much,” she said.— “Yon are very polite to do so much for a stranger.” “O, it is no trouble, ma’am, ho said, with a smile; “I like to help people.” Both went their ways with a happy feeling in the heart, for sash little deeds of kindness are like fragrant ro ses blossoming along the path of life. We all have onr chances day by day: and shall one day be asked how we have improved them.

Chamberlin went there in the eariy mining days, when Megalia was called Dogtown. He was a scholarly man, and had qualities of recklessness and good fellowship that made him vary popular. Coot’s saloon was the popular resort. Cham berlin bet with Coot 55,000 on Lin coln against the saloon on Dinglass.— Thus winning the establishment, as truthfully related in one of Bret Har.te’s stories, he stnek to it until his death, two weeks ago. In the mean time Dogtown became Magalia, church es and schools were established, and public sentiment changed so complete ly that gambling and drunkenness— Chamberlin’s strong points—came to bo regarded as disreputable.

A shocking accident occurred in Up per Providence township, Montgomery county, Pa., last week, when John Hii- tebidel, a farmer, while cutting corn- fodder with a machine driven by horse power, slipped and fell into the box. His left arm was oangkt by the rollers, and in an instant his hand was irresisti bly drawn into the knives and cut off in leng h of an inch to within one inch of the wrist joint. The unfortunate man’s cries speedily brought assistance and the machinery was stopped. His arm will have to be amputated, Coal armor i3 the newest idea among English naval constructors. A coal- bunker eight or ten feet wide, filled with coal, has been found to resist the projectiles of the 41-ton gnn (nearly seven inches bore), even when fired un der conditions most favorable for pene tration, and experiments have been tried by exploding shells with increased bursting charges in the coal without setting it on fire. For converted mer chant steamers and vessels where the greater part of the machinery is placed above the water line, these ban kers are likely to be employed. A story is told indicative of the cool ness and nerve of the Prince of Wales. He was in company with Dr. Lyon Playfair, watching a caldron of lead boiling at a white beat. The doctor told him that, from certain scientific reasons, he conld put his hand into the seething metal with impnnity. The prince, on this assurance, plnnged his handin and laded out a portion of tiie molten metal. Perhaps few of onr farmers are aware that- the same planting of rye can be nsed as a pasture for a nnmber of years. One sowing has been nsed in Massacbnsetts for seven years in suc cession by grazing sheep upon it and never letting it go up to seed, Four years has also been known, the rye pro ducing a crop of grain the fifth year.

The scientific farmers of Germany have been experimenting in potato planting and conclude that large pota toes are the best seed, that the »ye3 in the top of the potato produce the most vigorous offspring, and that the whole tuber is better seed than a part. -< ■ ■ COFFI ISTfe- A Hearse can be furnished to order at any time on short notice.
