A NERVIS EXHIBITION.
An interesting littte affair of
nerve occurred on the Elberton
Rail toad not long ago that has
never leaked out through the news
1 papers as a great many other
things have ot much less inter*
| eat.
Yancey Carter, who is now one
of the revenue officers of this d'ss
j trict, is about at’ cool and braxe a
i man as auy of the heroes oi west.
| ern li e- He returned from Texas
seveial years ago, whither lie had
i gone when a mere youth and joiu
jed tne Texas Ran gets. He was
strickingly grown on his return,
having the good looks and long
curly hail of Buffrlo Bill, standing
six fe t in his stockings, and with
bone ami sinew to me amount ot
175 pounds. Carter hated whis
key from his youth. His associ
ates in the West only increased
it, and he entered theievanue ser
vice iu this dis'.aict a few years
ago from a choice of profession.
By Ids fidelity as an officer he at
once incurred the bitter hatr-d of
moonshiners as well as other citi
zens, ami it was openly planned
to do him up iu a summary style
becoming their state of mind
Carter's enemies were many and
dangerous. He carried bis life
in his hands, and tne many eucoun
ters he lms had would lead like
fiction. But in no instance lias he
failed to he master of the situation.
He was never known to pick a
quarol. His honor aud fairness
in fight awed his enemies, If he
had two pistols and his opponent
wanted to shoot it out he would
divide with him always- Bo fear
less has lie been in the discharge
of duty and so siguahy successfu
in every personal eucountei he has
ever held tiiat now those who
were Ins enemies are his friends,
those who hated him fear and ;..d
--mire him, and under a //emocrat -
ic administration he has been
reappointed to office by pe ition
of the citizens who were once his
open enemies.
Sometime ago Carter was re
turning from A/lanta, and had
boarded the Elberton train for
Toceoa. He had scarcely taken
his seat when some one standing
in the door said, looking at him :
“I can give you what you
want,,’’ .
i’alter not recognizing ihe man,
and thinking his remark- were di
rected to .s-crue one else, said noth
ing, when the declaration was
again repeated.
“I guess you are mistaken in
the man,’’ said Carter.
•‘jV 0 ; 1 know Carter, and I can
give him what he wants,” and
with this the stranger walked down
me aisle and coolly took an op
posite sea 1 .
I know you, though I have nev
er seen you; your name is Knox.
You are thinking of my brothe
who hud a fuss with yours some
time ago,”
“No, it’s you I'm after," said
Knox, coolly.
Cnrter then deliberately walked
across the aisle ami squeezed
down on s seat beside him, say
ing :
“What are yon mad with me*
about *”
“You broke up my brother,
ruined him. and I propose to set
tle with yon,"
“[ didn’t do it; whisky did it.
I only performed my duty,” rem
onstrated Cartea.
Nothing would Jo him, however,
and he repeated, :T can gine you
what yon want.”
Carter then lost patience and
said :
-I can give you what you want,
and any way yon want it.” and
they glared at each other with
their eyes inches apart.
Tuey decided ou pistols and
were to get out at Marlin, the
uexf station, and shoot it onl.

Just then the traiu stopped at

because he was in the wrong. Af

MARK TWAIN ON CHILD
GROWING.
Christian Union]
Whippings are not given in our
house for revenge; they are not
given for spite, nor even in .anger;
they are given partly fer punish
ment, but mainly oy way of im
pressive reminder aud a pro 1 ec'tor
against a repetition of the offense.
The interval between the promise
of a wbipp ug tuiu its infliction
*s nsurlly an hour or two. By
that time both pirties are calm,
and the one is judical, the other
receptive- Toe child never goes
from the scene of punishment mi
til it has been loved buck into hap
py hearted ness aud a joys ul spirit.
The spanking is never a cruel one,
but it is always an honest one.
It hurts. If it hurts the child,
imagine bow it must hurt the
mother. Her spili t is serene,trau
quil She has not the support
wb ; ch is afforded by anger. Ev
ery blow she strikes <be ekikt
bruises her own heart The mot“
er cf my children adores them—
there is no milder term for it; and
they wor-btp anthing which the
touch of her ban I has made
sacred. They kr ow her for the
best and truest friend they have
ever ha</, or shall ever have ; they
know her for one who never did
them a wrong, ond can not do
them a wrong, who never told
them a lie, nor the -barlow of
one; who never deceived them by
even an ambiguous gesture; who
never gave them an unreasonable
command, nor ever contented her
self with anything short of a per
fect obedience; wbo has o'ways
treated them as politely and r">n
siderale'y as she would the best
and oldest in tho land, and has
always requ'-ed of them gentle
speech and courteous conduct to
ward all, of whatsoever degree
with whom they chance'* to come
ii. contact; they know her for one
whose promise, whitb of reward
or punishment, is gold, and al -
ways worth its fac'- to the utter
most fattit'tig. In a word, they
know her, and I know her, for the
best aud dearest mother that lives
—and by a long, long way the
wisest.
You perceive that J have never
got down to where the mother in
the tale really asks her question.
For the reason iliat I cannot re
alizes the situatiou. The specta
de of i hat ireacherounly-reared
boy, and that wordy, namby pam
by father, aud that weak, uamhy
patnbj mother, is enough to make
oueashamed of his species. And,
if I could cry, I would cry. ]

the glory and honor and joy of
Ihe house, the welcomed face in
all the world to them that gave
him being—as he ought to be,and
would be. but for the hard fortune
that flung him into the clutches of

In all my life I have never made

I DISHING WITHOUT HOOKS
The famous fish picnic which.
! John Skae, the former millionaire
[gave at the reservoir of the Yir
j giuia and Gold //ill Water Com
pany one day when he was ou the
| crest of die wave of prosperity.
I was a queer frolic. Every (Join
stocker of any impoitance at all
was invited, and there wss chain
pugne for everybody who wanted
it.
The reservoir is a mile or two
back of Virginia, in the hi ’s, rud
is reached by the old Ophir road,
which winds along the mountain
sides. Washoe ward like a red
scipt at. Every giiesl did Lis own
thhiiig, and did it without hooks.
The reservoir was stocked with
Eastern trout, the little fellows
showing black ond red spots on
their backs and sides. They
were, and ire to this day, very
numerous and surprisingly anie.
A llumiful of ct limbs thrown into
the water will bring hundreds ol
them rushing to the surface to
ward the food -
The poles furnished Sk.e’s
guests were laths; the lines hits
of twine about two feet long. At
the end of eacn line a piece of
tough oeef the size of u hickory
nut was firmly tied. The install!
the beef struck the water scores of
trout made for it, and the augler
would jerk them ashore by their
own teeth before they could let
go.
The privilege of fishing in the
reservoir is sparingly granted, for
any one armed with this simple
tackel can, at any time land a
dozen iu three minutes- Hun
dreds of psunds of trout were
caught by ykae’s party and cooked
on the spot.
FISH FOB THE FARM.
Fish aflvtdsa healthful and un
tritions food, anil every persot
owning a stream which can be
gathered into a pound should by
rll means add fish vulture to his
o her pursuits. In Germany and
ihe adjacent countries the culture
of carp affords a large qnouity of
valuable human food, produced at
an exe- edingly small cost. It is
estimated there that 10t‘ pounds
of carp can be produced at a cost
of no more tliau 25 cents. The
only expenses are Ihe interest ou
tlie cost of the pood, and ihe val
ue of the laud and the labor of
gathering the yearly crop. One
acre of suitable ground will pro
duce ',OOO pounds of fish yearly,
The ponds are arranged in suc
cession down the course of the
stream, and are divided so that
cash one can be drained into in
otuor for the purpose of gathering
the tisli aimually from one pond.
The largest fish are then as many
years old as the pond bus remain
ed since it was last drawn. The
fish are scooped up from the sleds
low wa er with hand nets, the
small ones being left. The pond
is then filled again. Several draw
ings maybe made from each pond
in the course of a year as a supply
Vnay be required for sale or use.
But, in a small way, a farmer may
do very well with one pond, it it is
arranged so that the wa’et may
be drawn oft’, or the pond may ho
dragged with a net to gather Hie
fish for selection. Carp aie the
best fish for this purpose, as they
me vegetable feeders, will thrive
yi any water whico has a soft hot
tom, and will either fed themselves
if the pond has a grassy bottom
anil sides, or may be fed upon
corn bread, cabbage, or boiled
potatoes. They will live in water
warmed up to eighty degress, and
thrive best in a warm climate.—

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
‘ A few miles south of Marlbor
ough, says a \q>ecial dispatch to
.ihe T-ibuue fiorn Baltimore, dated
yes erday, is a chasm which is
spanned by an opeu treslle bridge,
lo the bottom of the chasm at the
deepest point is perhaps sixty'
feet. The rail load approaches
this bridge around a sharp curv,
ami the engineer of a traiu cannot
the bridge until near if. Yes-
fetday afternoon, hh the Dope’s
Creek south bound passenger
tram sped round the curve near
iug the bridge, the engineer was
horrified io see a woman cross'ug
the bride on the railroad track,
carrying in her arms an infant and
leading by the hand a child of
perhaps three years of age. The
engineer at once applied the air
breaks und blew the danger wltis
tie, but he saw it would be impos
siblotos'op the train before it
reached the point where the wo
man was. She heard the train
approaching, turned and looked
■it it, mw the horrors of her situss
lion in one quick, intense glance
Below the heavy rains had filled
the chasm until it had la come a
torrent. To jump from the bridge
would be to liiul death iu the
water; to leiimin where uhe was a
few seconds longer would lie to
meet instant death. Several per
sons who were near ihe track ut the
time, wim saw her situation, mule
aigns to the engineer to stop, but
he was powerless although m
'niggled until the sweat stood
mil in great drops from evi ry
pore. Then lie rushed forward to
ward the front of tlie locomotive
with the ioteniiou of essaying the
daring feat of seizing the woman,
and dragging her to the cow-catch
er. At lb's the woman caught
both children in one arm, with fho
other she firmly seized one of the
ties ou which the track is laid, and
H wung herself between the ties
and below the bridge, and the
tiaiu passed over her. It was so
quickly done that the spectators
supposed she had jumped from
the bridge. As soon as the train
could be stopped Conductor C. A.
//averstick and Brakcman Honey*
maun rusned back to the spot
where the woman was seen to dis
appear. They found ner clinging
to the tie with one arm, aud hold
ing ner two little ones with die
other. From this perilous posi
tion they were soon rescued, the
woaion much exhausted, but all
of them without a bruise or a
sent ell.
CRAZED BY SALVATIONISTS
A special to tie Baltimore

and tied tier to a taLqe. H< then
returned to the kitchen to gel a

of ler grandmother, who rushed
up stairs and saveil the child from

being frustrated, he became vio
lld«t, and rushing out into the
street with a big butcher knife in

and children ran before bin at

in inflicting a severe gash iu the

not ? He will ho all the better

it is his duly as well as his privi

“Yes, sir,” came the reply.

“I believe they do,” replied the
Memphian.
“Doyou know,” continued tlie

MAKING GINGER ALE.
Rochester Uuiou Advertiser.
“The demand for ginger ale,’’
said a prominent manufacturer
o! that article, ‘increases very
rapidly. When I startedt in it
yeais ago there were not more
than twenty in the business. The
most of my business row is man
ufacturing .he extract for others
to put in a potable form, and to
these others have given from thir
ty to 500. 7n the main all ma
kers use the same formula aud
method. They mix the extract
with pu»e sugar syrup, dillute
water until an ordinary bottle con
tains about fifteen drops of gin
ger, and then put this into boettle
with a carbonic acid machine.
Two qualities are made, one. the
belter fur private use and first
class lintels und saloons, and a
second for the general barroom
trade. Tlm difference is uluiost
ntirely iu the quality of thu ex
tract employed With the first
we make a gdigoc ale which sells
for $1 or $1.20 per caseof twenty
four boti'as ; the second runs from
50 to 75 cents u ease.
It may surpriteyou to know that
throe sour 1 hs of tho so called im
ported article is madj here. The
bottles helougiug to tiavorite
brands are carefully kept aud sent
to us regulr-iy to tilled. We
leave the label in act ou paste on
sac similes, aud put in new corks
and metal capsules oi tags. There
is not one person in u thousand
wuo can tell the difference. In
one first elass-hoiel 1 1 avo heen j
filling and refilling the same old
bottles now for seven yeirs, and I
think it wtM keep on as long as I
live.”
“Is there no bad ginger ale in
the market V
“Yes there are two bad kinds
and both so bad the lioa'd of
health Hhould stop their mannfao
ture. They are made in large
quantities hero in New York and
iiroo' lyn, and sold chielly to beei
saloons and ice cream store. One
kind is made from cheap ginger
and is doctored with the extract
of red paper and other chomicnls
to give it body and bite. The
men who make it claim that red
is good for the stomach, but they
nowr refer to other cbem’cals.
The other worst kird is made by
a few Gorman establishments.
Instead of using ft pure extract
hoy buy up wherever they can
condoned aud spoiled ginger root
Some of tlcm make their own ex
tracts from tl is, mid reinforce it
enyenne. Others grind it up and
brew a vile ale from it, which they
linish with cayenne and guclose
You can easily tell this last class
by letting it stand after being
opened The ’/east continues to
work and the ale turns sour and
llihen putrid. Drinking it is just
as bait as drinking soar beer. Its
cheapness recommends it however
so unsciilptuoH dealers. It never
costs more than lifty cents a case
aud fr< quontiy goes as low as
thirty eights cents, detailed a*
ten cents it yields a larger proht
than any article sold across a bar.
t ‘‘lPs a nice business, but has
its drawbacks. Despite every
precaution and safe guard, the hot
los every now and ihen explode
and do damage. Last winter
while whatcliing the ‘bottler’ a
work, the head of a Brooklyn es
lahlishment was struck by the
I fragments of a bottle ilmt busrt
and had his left eye cut in half
as clean ns if done with a kuife-
In fart, you'll hardly meet a man
in the business who can not show
cars similarly obtrined ’’
Thu Albany Journal vouches,in
a way that seems tu pid all doubts
at rest for the authenticity of fbat
savage letter of President Cleve
land to the Democrat who coDfeBS
ed io having recommenued for ap
pointment a man of bad character,
| “nevor thinging for a moment that
the appointment would be made.”
Says the Journal; ‘ The letter of
the President was so keen and
cauetic that many doubted wheth
■er he would have written it to a
Democrat. This doubt is set at
rest by the statements by the Pres
idem. himself during his receut
visit to this city. He not only
wrote the letter, but rejoiced over
it, and declared if he was misled
much more by politicians in favor
of unworthy applicants for place,
lie would print the names of the
politicians and let the public see
how he was deceived int » making
improper appointment a.”
