CUT OFF HER HEAD,
News has reached the city that
a horrible accident occured last
night no tlie Incoming passenger
train of the C. C. & A. railroad. At
one of the stations between Char
lotte and Columbia it seems that
a large crowd of colored nad con
gregated al the depot to bid their
pastor farewell. One of the crowd,
a woman, whose name could not
be ascertained, attempted to cross
the track, and while in the act of
going across, her foot got entan
gled in a frog or a cross tie. and
she fell upon the rail*. </ust then
a train came thundering around a
curve and ran over the unfortu
uate woman, completely severing
her head from her body before she
could be extricated from her per
ilous position. This is a very sad
case indeed, but no b/arne c nbe
attached to any one, as it was the
fault of the poor woman herself.—

A MISER’S MILLION.
Some of the money belonging
to miser James Henry Paine, who
recently died in squalor on Bletck
er street, is turi ing up. In Oc
tober, 1861, Paine took to the
Metropolitan National Bank a
draft for $52,500 drawn by a Chi
cago bank. Ho received in ex
change for it 112,500 in cash and
four certificates of deposit of $lO
- each.
The Metropolitan bank is now
in course of liquidation. Yester
day one of the administrators of
Paine s es.ate presented the cer-
I ilicates and got the $40,000. The
administrators never would have
known of the existence of the
money if the bank officials bad not
imparted the infoimalion;
The certificates did not drawn.
If they did the interest alone by
compounding would have added
$200,000 to the amount.
Paine used to come 10 the bunk
once in awhile and ask ;
“Is this the A/etropol itan
hank?
“Yes,” the doorman would say
“Do you think it ia safe?”
Paine woo hi ark.
“Yes,’ the doorman would any.
Thereupon Paine would go
away without another word.
Though Paine was known to
have possessed vast sums of mon*.
ey in his lifeiinac—a million or
more—the amount brought
o 1 ght yesterday is the first trace
that, has been fo.nd of liis wealth
So sedulous was he in caring for
his wealth that liis burial as a
pauper on last Chris!mas day was
because it was supposed he was
not worth enough 10 provide a
decent bund.
He wrote brilliant and biting
musical and dramatic critisisms
for daily newspapers, but he was
so umkempt that managers of the
places ot amusement wouhl not
tolerate him in a seat alongside
/idy people. He would hasten
out at the close of an ent rtain
ment ami follow some acquaints
iiDce to a restaurant, and taking a
seat near b(g for the pieces of
bread find meat ihat were left.
It has bfen said by persons
lfr.otving him that he scarcely
spent more than $25 a year in
food. He begged his living of
poisons who took pity on him be
eauso they thought him wretched
ly poor. He had a garret in a
house cn Canal street before ta
king the miserable room on Bleeck
er street. The man who rented it
to him said that he slept therein
the most bitterly cold weather
wi-h no fire and no covering. He
hugged the chimney like a baif
trozeo animal.
Yet all this time he was worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars
and his writings were bringing
him euouSh to keop him in com
fort.
James H, Boody, Paine’s old
banker, has no doubt that
ser was woith in the neighbor
hood of $500,000. On a single
occasion he paid Paine $330,000,
and the old man took the money
away uni.er his tattered coat. He
was In constant terror lest people
should think him rich, ami was
continually on his guard to keep
up the impression that he was
poverty stricken.
In a business transno'iou one
day Paine took a person to a
house on Fifth avenue, where a
mau, in obedience to tha miser’s
command, delivered over a lot of
bonds. This persoD cannot re
member the location of the house,
otherwise it might be the means,
possibly, of revealing the hidden
place of Paine’s wealth.
Seared for the house was re
newed on the discovery of the
certificates of deposit in the Me
tropolitan bank, and the inquiry
will now be pushed with greater
vigor, as it is hoped that clews
aan be found that will disclose the
concealed riches.
The person who went with
Paine to the Fifth avenue house
sai 1 the inaD, who seemed to be
Paine’s business agent, bad as
much as $1,000,000 in securities.

LIGHT AND SPIRITS.
We have hesitated foi Borne
days to give the following partic
ulars to the public, Anything
like notoriety would be dibtas’eful
to the parties concerned, and with
out calling mimes the marvelous
is apt to be iucreditable. But we
give only plaiu facts well known
to most regulable people in Pal
atka, aud they present so many il
itubbling features that we cannot
resist the temptation to make them
public
Four winters ago a gentleman
in feeble health visited onr city
and secured a room at a house
that shall be nameless. He was
carefully nursed but gradually
pined away until he seemed only
skin and bone. Under the treat-,
rnent of his physician he lay for
several days in a comatose state,
and, while so weak that he could
scarcely turn his head, tho boat
ing of his heart could bo distinct
ly heard at the distance of sevora
foet off. He sank gradually and
expired. Since tuen he house
his changed hands several times
and was occupied by a new tenant
quite recently Tli6 same c am
ber-maid, however, remained, and
she avers t' at whenever she is
alone in the room she can still
hear the fearful beating of that
“lellitale heart.” However, sue
has said nothing, and declares
that she knew the noise could in
no way Lurt her, while cus.om
has made her almost needless of
the slight but distinct sounds-
But duriDg the past week there
have been developments which
compel attention- The room in
question has been occupied by
three young ladies whe have never
heard of any supernatural manifes
tations connected with the house,
and who, at the time, did not
know that anvnne Imd died in t , ““-
pariicnlartment. Under these
circumstances it sceais impossible
to believe wbat they saw could be
credited to fancy or highly
wr ught dreams, Yet they i nve
been disturbed by tho occurence
of phenomena which seems to con
nect <hem«elves ims sdbly with
the death of 'he poor suflc-ier who
once languished and died so
strangely within those four walls.
Ou the first oc jaeir.n they had
just retired and were discussing
some light gossip of the day when
a hal 1 of light arose from the fioor
hovered U6ar their faces foi a
moiueui, ascended to the ceiling
and disappeared. All distinctly
aver that the appearauce was ac
companied by no heat, and that it
was no dream or fanciful decep
tion is attested by the fact that
three parsons at the same time
saw it, and they had sufficient
presence cf miud to discuss it
calor'y aud one even approached
her hand to the light and the move
ment was seen by the other two.
The blinds wete closely drawn so
that tie agency of a magic lantern
contrivance from without was im
possible and the door was locked;
While the light floated in the room
they henid distinctly a sound like
the mu filed but intensely clear pul
salinu of an over burdened heart.
On another occasion the light
rose slowly from the floor, ascen
ded about six feet, and eut of it
came gradually tlie effulgent like
ness of a human faes, thin to emac
ination, wearing a mournful ex
pression and covered by a full but
short, gray beard. 1/ disappeared
suddenly, but the same distincl
beating ot the heart was plainly
heard.
These young ladies feel no fear
that they are menaced by i erson
al danger, but the strain to tbeir
nerves has become too great and
they will take another room.
Whether the appearances have a
supernatural origin, ars painted
on thin air by the too poient
dreams of excited feelings, ormsy
be attributed to some mischievous
or malicious human source, we
cannot as yet determine- But the
character of the parties forbid auy
thought of collusion on their part,
and we are compelled to awa’t de
velopment promised by some gen
tletneu who have taken the matter
in hand, —Palatka, Fla., News-

THE FKHI TING EDITOR.
The champion fighting ediior
of the country lives at Albuquer
que, N. M. As the story goes,
eleven citizens of the variety
Known as “roughs” came to the
conclusion a short ago that, it was
their duty, in the interest of law
and order aud Ihe purity of she
ballot- box, to take the editor out
and hang him. Now, our Al
buquerque journalist lived alone
in a log cabin, consisting of one
rot m with a cellar underneath.
His only companion, a pet griz
z'y bear, occapied tbo ci liar. Ou
the night when the editor had
good muons to expect a visit
from the reformers, he retired to
the collar and left the upper room
to (he grizzly. At the hour of
midnight eleven stalwart men ar
rived with a rope. They battered
down the door aud rushed in,
eager for the fray They had no
light, but they rushed agaiust
their man, as*hey supposed For
an editor he showed unusual
pluck and strength. He went for
the lynchers with such activity
that the fight was soon over, Ik
the gray of the early morning
three men turned up in Albuquer
que, each with nu eye missing l .
One man called at the doctor’s
office with one foot and three chew
ed off. The remaining seven re
formers were loafing around on
the s'reob, more or lest mutilated
When the alleged facts of the fra
cas got out, the editor became
the most popular man in ihe ter
riloiy. His paper is doing a boom
ing business, aod Ue can get any
office be Maats. He still keeps
the grizzly in the cellar, ready for
an emergency.
A NOBLE FOE.
‘lt was at the battle of Gettys
burg,’ says an ex-soldier in the
Chicago Herald, -and an incident
occurred there which largely
changed my views of the South*
era peapie. I bad been a most
bitter anti-Southern man, and
fought and cursed them desper
ately. I could see nothing good
iu them. The last day of the fight
l was badly wounded. A ball
shattered my left leg. I lay on
the ground not far from the Cem
eter„ Ridge, and as General Lee
ordered his Inst reltrat, lie and
his officers came by me. As they
came along I recognized him, and
though faint from exposure and
loss of blood, I raised up on my
hands, looked General Lee in the
face, and shouted as loud as 1
could, ‘f/urrah for the Union!’
Tho General heard me, looked,
stopped his horse dismounted
and came toward me. I confess
that I at first thought he meant to
kill me. Bat as he came up he
looked down at me with such u
sad expression upon his race that
all fears left me, and I wondeied
what he was about. He ext nded
his hand to me, gr raped mine firm
ly, and looking right into iny eyes,
said:
“ ‘My son, I hope yon will soon
be well.’
‘lf I live a thousand years, I
shall never foigot the expression
in General Lee’s face. Thera he
was, defeated, retireing from a
field that had cost him his cause,
almost the last hope, and yet he
stopped to say words like these to
a wounded soldier of the opposi
tion, who had taunted him as he
passed by. As soon as the Gen
eral left me, 1 cried myself to slevp
there upon the bloody ground!’

A BOY’S NARROW ESt’Al’E.
Tm t welve-yeatsold son of Mr.
VV. B Rhiner, who lives in Emans
uel county, just across the hue of
Johnson, and his father were plow
ing in the same field not a great
distance apart, when the horse the
boy was plowing suddenly became
frightened, aud commenced to
run. The boy, in order to check
the nnimal, wrapped the lines sev
eral times around his wrists. The
father's attmGon being ca'led to
ibis he yelled to the lad to desist,
in wrapping the lines around liis
wti-ts, but ihe c< mmand came too
late. The bor e dashed away at a
rapid rate, carry ng the boy and
plow after h'oi. After gouig a
short d’slauce, neboy wjs thrown
to the ground, w.ihthe lines tight
ly drawn about his wris/f. The
field was full of stumps and trees,
which fpi t rondo’ed the boy's -on
dition perilous : n the extreme.
Remarkab'e to say, howewer, after
dragging the boy hrongh and
among the trees, his hea l and
shoulders plowing the ground at
every b >und, the distance of one
hundred and fifty yards, he not on
ly escaped death, but without the
shghtest bruise orse-a'ch, with
the exception of his Wrists, which
were skinned from the tightly
drawn lines. The clevis>pin to
the plow became detached and 'he
horse stopped running, and the
boy was rescued as above stated.
Next morning he was able to go
to work as usual.—Wrigjitsville

C.U’TURED L FTER NINE
VEIRK
Nine j ears ago, after dark, at a
house near the hue of Miller ami
Baker couulios, Georgia, Alfred
Whittaker met Joseph George.
The inmates were women of bad
repute. Whittaker became furi
ously angry, because Georgia was
more populai with them (him him
self. Inviting his unsuspecting
victim to walk witn him, when a
short distance from the house, Le
drew a pistol and shot George,
killing him instantly, and Ued the
country. A bill of indictment fo r
murder was obtained against turn
in Baker Superior Court. For
three years Sheriff A. J. Kimba'l,
of Miller county, has puisued liim

THE CHINAMEN’S HANDS.
The Chinaman shows a pair of
handsome hands. They are small,
the fingers taker and the skin does
uot readily harden under rough la
bor. I saw 800 Chinamen at work
upon tue Central Pacific raib-oad,
and studied the : r hands. Not
one hand showed the usual Irrge
joints and clump fingers of the
pick and shovel brigade The
overseei pointed out a geoup,
with the remark:
‘They have beer at work upon
the Centra' Pacific for • years, and
it is rare that one of them misses
a day,’
These men ah had the pretty, ta
per fingers. 1 spoke of it to the
overseer. He ss ; d;
‘After four y ars of pick and
shovel, tbe'rhand-t sre handsomer
then tho d of our di/ goods
clerks.’
‘Why do not their joints swell
like those of *'ie wh'te liborer?'
I asked.
‘I don't, know, unless they are
a finerblooded race. You know
that is one of the pecuiiaiities of
the blooded horse,—bis jo'u s and
limbs never swell, wb ’e *,e legs
of the sctab swell by simply stand
lug in the stable.’ Th s we.sen
intelligent white man’s reply.—

BABY AND THE BATTLE.
Two s ories that General Han

dozen yaarr or so of age, and haid

She somehow had strayed near to
the Uuton pickets, bringing an
old rtle heavier than she could
well carry without showing that
she was overburdened. Wh6she
saw G'enerr ’ //ancock she held the
load n her arms a little higher

There was something like a tear
in General Hancocd’s eye as he re
cited this heroic little incident*

child’s offering to our cause,” h A
said, “without feelings of deepest
reverence. Her half lisped words
