It is rumored tha‘ Mahone will take charge of another railroad. Brooklyn and Chicago are both growing aapilly. Brooklyn now claims 665,000 inhabitants, and Chicago 660,000, Pig iron has advanced $1 per ton at all iron points. That indi cates the return cf solid prosperi iy. Iron is a pretty good bus!-, ness barometer. A Berl n surgeon lately took out a quantity of dead bone from a man's arm Immediately after ward he amputated the leg of an tther man for an mjury. Then he took a large piece of bone from the amputated leg and put it iu the place of the dead boue of th e am. The boue became firmly at tached, and so the surgeon made a very successful operation. A Georgia muu has a hen that is thirty years old. Paris is less populous by 115,- 000 than it was four years ago. The South Carolina Legislature last week refused to pass a geners al local option bill.

We would bet on the Georgian in all such foiensic struggles. The New York Sun finds indis putable evidence of Miss Cleve land’s handiwork in the Prosit dent’s message. That accounts for the good quality of the docu ment. A Chicago doctor finds himself in trouble. In filling np a death certificate he inadvertently wrote his own name in the space where the cause of the death is specifi ed. A convantion of the heirs of the eight hundred million dollars Lawrence-Townley estate in Engs land are in session in St Louis to devise means ior securing the al leged fortune. Wm. B. Asior has been spend ing some of h'S loose change in Florida. Rumor has it that he has just paid $400,000 for the Jacksonville, Halifax and St. Au gustine railroad. William Bender, of Cincinnati, recently threw into a fire S4O 000 in government bonds. He had been drinking heavily ana fancied some of hia relatives were after his wealth. The Constitution is wide awake to journalistic enterprise. Gen. Toombs was hardly shroudsd be fore it had a two page illustrated history of the talented Georgian in type. The petrified skeleton of a whale over 30 feet long has been discovered by an officer of the coast survey on a range of moun tains in Montery county, Cal., over 3,300 feet above the sea lev el Senator Brown has introduced a bill to remove Gen.

An old-time resident of Chero - kee county claims to be the father of 8 children, the graudfa'her of 72 grandchildren, and had also 52 great-grandchildren, all of whom are living. He is 90 years old and is well preserved. TOO BUSY FOR BUSINESS. a iravtler landed at a wtyside tavern iu J’exus early one uieru lug, anil, after sitting around with out discovering any signs of break fast until an appetite like a muss tard plaster begun gnawing, he walked up to the landlord, who was behind the counter bent near, ly double over a newspaper, in which he was tracing the lines of s thrilling romance witu his fore finger as he puffed away at an old cob pipe. “What time do you have break fast” The landlord groaned, but did uotl.iokup. The traveler raised his voice a notch or two and re peated : “When do you have breakfast ?’, The man behind the bnr never moved. The traveler ihumped on the counter with h ! s knuckles to atiraci attention, and again said’ much louder than before : “When do you have breakfast ?’ ‘Hey!' said the landlord, with his face still buried iu the news paper. ‘Wbou do you have breakfast!’ ‘Most every day.’ ‘ls this one of the luck day’s?’ ‘Hey? ‘Are you going to have break*, fast Vo-day?’ ‘I reckon more’n I ke we will.’ ‘How soon do you suppose it will b* ready?’ ‘I don’a ’spose notbiu’ about it.’ ‘What’s the reason you don’t? ‘Coz I don’t know. ‘When do you generally have it? ‘When the coffee biles. ‘Hus the fire been started yet? ‘I don’t know nothin’ about it. ‘What’s the reason you don’t. //I m w umi w M VUOOi ‘See here, old man, ain’t you the landlord? ‘I reckon mebbe I am. ‘Well, then, I’d like to have you tell me who’s running tois tavern, Tue old man raised bis head, gave the stranger a look that made his flesh creep, and eaid : ‘Well, sometimes the niggers r-m it; sometimes /he old woman gives it a whirl; sometimes the cussed thing -orter wobbles along for itself, and then again some times I gives it a hist myself, and every once in a while some lantern - jawed, knock-kneed, son of a tiger like you comes along and wauts to try his baud at makirg it spin, but about the time he gets to shooting his mouth t >o free he takes a notion to go out to the horse trough and soak his head, and after that he alluz meek enough to miud his own business for a spell.

THE BIGGEST FOOL. ‘When I married you,* said Mrs- Peppterton, trf her husband, ‘I thcaght that you were a sensible man, but I have since learned that you are a fool. ‘ ‘Let’s see,* the husband mused, *We have been married five yeaas» haven't we?‘ ‘Yes, lam sorry to say that we have.* ‘And you married me under the impression that I was a sensi' ble fellow?’ ‘Yes.‘ ‘And you have just discovered that I am a fool?* ‘Yes; I have.’ ‘Well, you were a long time iu msking the discovery, which proves that you are a bigger fool than 1 am.

Lb you hear?’’ OLUSTREK BATTLEFIELD. While iu Florida a few weeks ago we visited Ihe Olustee batiU field, which is about two miles east of Olustee station, on tbe old Flat ida Central railroad. This was one of the hardest fights iu Florida, and all things considered, it was a most terrible battle. The federals started from Judsonville to go through Flori da, something like Sherman went, through Georgia. About 6,000 federals, under Gen. Seymour, left Jacksonville for Tallahassee. They had gone but foriy five or titty miles on their journey when they were mot b 7 Gen. Fiuegan and Colquitt The former was at the statio- two miles away, while the latter was on the field wiih his men. The battle ground is an open pine flaz, covered iu pait by low j palmettots. 2’his afford, d no shelter for either party, add they fell thick and fast ou both sides. /n the heat ol battle, ammuuilion j’-ive oui and a messenger was son/ tvo miles to heudquarters, but our men waited luavuly. Fin egnn ordered rhom to fall back to the beastworks but stll ihev faced the enemy. Ammunition arrived and a shout went up ad along the line of baitle which made every heart throb with joy and burn with true patriotism. Again word me from Fiuegan, “Fall back to the bae.-istworks.” Colquitt answered: “My men do riot know what you mean sir,” and still the fury of battle increased. Men fell dead on every side* The cavalry were ordered on (lie rignt Tiiev made a move, but in trying to cross the Ocean pond many of the>r horses bogged up and the riders were compelled to leave ujom hl-u w:iue out inrougn mud and water. But the last came, anil 4,000 boys from Georgia and Florida whipped out 6,000 Yanks as slick as a whistle. The ba/ le win severe; about 1 500 were killed. The ft lends had pyshed a company of colored men in front nearly all of whom were killed But ibe woi-s/ is to corns. The southern boys were so enraged at having a drove of i egroes 'o fight, hat many of /hem went On the battlefield and killed the wounded with knots and chunks of wood. A very large man was stood up like a brute, neur the railroad, where all who passed could see him. Hundreds lay on the bade field and were deveurert by hogs and buzzards A stench rose up fiom the field which spread for miles away. The picture is too bad to paint ju c t as it was and we leave it for the iaimagina'ion to complete //ow desolate the place looks oven now to one who is acquainted with /he fac/s above, The same old pine trees with their shattered limbs and scarred bodies that stood in the midst of the battle, still stand like sentinels amid the scene of carnage.
