The difficul | ty originated over a bottle of whis key. 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.

August 25 1885 ers,” and stepped inside the bag gage-cav. Just then the traiu stopped at Martiu, and Carter stepped out, drew, and waited. But Knox had caved, not for lack of courage, but because he was in the wrong. Af ter au effort, he stepped out pud said to Carter; “1 can’t tight yon; you are right ard I am wrong. Carter stepped hack in the train and tv ok his seat as if nothing had happen, d. This is reported by au eye wit ness and vouched for by Comities tor Garrett MARK TWAIN ON CHILD GROWING.

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.

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.— New Yoik Times. 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 Americau from Wilkesb- -re. l’a., says : David Williams, a lr'uer. several weeks a-o joined the Sal vation Army, and h's mind be came utl'noted on the subject of religion and salvation.

Only an inno cent babe would answer Ibe put pofo. lie accordingly went t-j tlie house of ins daughter and re quested to sec little Mamie. When the child was brought to him lie asked lie asked to take a walk with him. The crazy Hr'va ionist then took her up in the garret and tied tier to a taLqe. H< then returned to the kitchen to gel a butcher kuife with winch to quar ter his little gruiideln/d, when her screams attrac/ed the attention of ler grandmother, who rushed up stairs and saveil the child from u horrible death, Williams plans being frustrated, he became vio lld«t, and rushing out into the street with a big butcher knife in his h aids, he made a pluoge at very one he met. Men women and children ran before bin at if he were a mad dog. Reaching his daughter’s house lie made for her with the knife and succeeded in inflicting a severe gash iu the arm. The injured woman made | her escepu into a room and locked I lie door. The maniac then stab | a uieghbors boy, who was sit ting on the front stoop.

HOW HE SLIPPED THROUGH. He was a New Yirk drummer representing a uew fangled hugs gy top, a model of which occupied a portion of the two seats the young man was scatlerred over. He had just returned from the wash-room where he had hum dried his culluloid collar and cuff, and changed his silk cap for a late Broadway tile. Without loss of time he proceeded to exhibit the model lo the several passengers on die sleeper, as the train rapidly approached Memphis. Turning to a passenger just behind aim he said : Do you re side in Memphis. “Yes, sir,” came the reply. “They require drummers to take out e #lO lincense there,don’t tney/” continued the buggy top and celluloid collar-and-cuffs young man. “I believe they do,” replied the Memphian. “Doyou know,” continued tlie model young man, “I think a law of that kind an outrage, and the place is rightly called a taxing dis* trict, and should never be called anything else. What’s the tine iu erse yon don't take out the li cense. “7'here’s no tine at all ; if the officers catch you working with - j out a license they simply make you take one out.’’ “That so ! Well, they’ll have io catch me before I luke out any, and if I’m not slick enungh to slip trough a lot of bad, jug-bended Memphis peelers I'll leave the road aud go on a funu.

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.
