VOL. XXVII. NO 4 A WILD GOOSE STORY. EACH FOWf. MADE TO CARRY DRINKI.NO WATER FOR ITS MATES. Jacksonville Times-Unibn. An ingenious and plausable •tory conies from a Middle Flor ida planter in the cotton belt. He had a lot of barn yard fowls, among them being a small flock of geese. As is a well known fact, the goose, though the greediest 'berbiverous domestic fowl, will not touch the cotton plant but is very fond of the tender grass, the bi'in-* of the cotton patch. Tins planter, a 3 the story is told, made some notations of the habits of the flock in feed ing taking notice of the locali ties, and was much gratified to that where tho thick could be induced to feed the cotton sweep and hoe was a back number, if the soil was fallow when the cotton was planted/ indeed it would be as clean as his front yard. The special feature of his observations, however, were, that the geese could not be in duced to perform the coveted service with any degree of regu larity, preferring so pick and repick special localities. Whe; this was fathomed, It was as certained that in and around the barnyard houses wi.s a fa vorite range, while several other ■pots in the field where the geese would take a range similar in extent to that around the barn houses and yard were well picksd . A little closer obser vution revealed the fact, that in every instance, the plat in which the geese would wander was a watered range, not for swimming and bathing purpose, of which the species is well known to be fond, v> ut for drink ing puiposes. The planter reasoned that if he could furnish the desired wa ter, the flock might be induced to literally clean up the grass in the entire field to a blade- The pith of tho story is the re sult of his novel attempt. It would not pay to hire a water boy to follow them; in fact, the flock did not get along well with children any way, so he deter mined to try the novel experi ment of making the geese water carriers for each other. To this end he procured for each of the flock a small gourd, cleaned nicely with a small liolo cut in it sufticieut'y large to admit drinking from,as from a trough. These wero filled witn water and each goose had one tied around its neck. It was suggested that this; would not work, for the goe.-i ! could drink from its own gourd j This, however, was not the in genious plunteror's idea at all but the reverse. Each goose could drink from its comrade’s gourd. Thus equipped, he turned ihe flock of geese into the cotton patch, where the grass was get ting the best of the cotton out side of the former goose range. It worked like a charm. They took the patch by rote, like a gang plow, and cleaned it up the first day, apparently compre hending what they boen expect ed to do. Now the planter has bought a flock of 150 geese, of the most voracious species- He intends to equip them in a similar man ner for this year’s crop of au in creased acreage, maintaining stoutly that he has solved the problen of dispensing entirely with the cotton chopper. Per haps it might be well to reserve the smile until the re suit of this year’s experiment becomes known. In the mean time some progressive South Florida farmer might serve uo lice on his little patch of nut grass that he might he induced to try the experiment himself. THE IDEAITaNACEA. James L.

We extract from the Colum bus Enquirer the following ac count of a meeting held at Law rencevillo for tho purpose of doing honor to the memory of, the heroes killed at Shepherd’s Plantation, in Stewart county, Georgia, and also of the volun teers who were cruelly shot at Goliad in Texas: “At a meeting of a portion of the citizens of Gwinnett county, the committee appoint ed at a previous meeting for that purpose made the follow ing report: The committee ap pointed for that purpose, beg leave to report that they ap pointed Captain 11.

Your committee respectfully recommend that they bo in terred near the northeast cor ner of the court-house yard, and that a suitable monument be erected in a convenient time to their memory. r After this report was read, Colonel N. 1.. Hutchins offered the following as an amendment to the report: And, whereas, our townsman, Captain James C. Winn, at the first call to arms, flew to the assistance <*f the Texans, who were warring for liberty and in dependence against their op presrors, and his early com panion, Anthony Bates, who went with him to share his perils, fight in the same holy cause, and to suffer the same sad fate, were both inhumanly butchered in cold blood in Fan nin’s devoted baud. And, Whereas, by their brav ery and devotion to the cause they had espoused, the first was promoted to be a Captain, and tho latter to Orderly in a very short time after they entered the service, and served with honoi to themselves and use fulness to the cause, until they were tuken, bravely fighting.' and in cold blood butchered by a savage band of .Mexicans, by order of their savage command er. Therefore, Resolved, That Captain Jas. C.

SHOCKEirrHE BOSTt>N ..™!L | The horse came tearing mad ly down the street. The coach-1 man had jumped to save his life and the beautiful girl in-1 side the coupe sereutned for help. Suddenly the man from Bos ton darted out in front of Ihe ; wild eyed steed. It seemed suicidal, but upon the bravo; fellow’s face was a look of de termination that would have! been the glory of a knight of i old. Bracing himself up for the shock, he awaited the opportu-| irty that Providence seemed to have intended him for, and the people upon the sidewalks stood breathless. With a bound the frightened brute was upon him. Ho clutch ed the reius and swung himself out of the way of the beating hoofs. The coupe swerved and was almost overturned, but righted itself, and in a moment the heroic deed was accomplish ed. The trembling steed stood still, the fainting girl was lift ed from her perilous position. ‘’Where is he ? Where is he?’ she cried, and her resell re r was pointed out. Without waiting to be intro duced the beautiful creature Hung herself upon his breast and cried: “Oh, sir, you d me noble!” A deathly pallor overspread his face. He tore away from her, and as he galloped madly from the scene muttered: “Great heavens! She’s from Chicago! Oh, that l uad known it before l ruined my 50 cent ; pair of suspenders!

When a man finds his fin..! too heavy and feels that it wi •! seriously strain him lo proceed, or if lie drops from sheer ex haustion or illness, promptly seize an end board or a ca:t stake and pound him on the head and on the ribs. If tb s does not recuperate him ki< k him violently in the belly. Tins treatment will restore him if persistenly administered, will give renewed energy, and In will make no more fuss. But do not, on any account, reduce the load, that would look ton much like common sense, or humanity, and he will probably never balk again when over loaded. If a man refuses to drink when you offer him water don’t give him any for two days. That will’“teach” him to be thirsty' at any time you find it convenient to water him. If it is not perfectly con venient to feed a loan who is working for you at noon let him go without, and, by active us > of t lie whip secure as much work a u the food would have secured. Of course it weirs out his vitality and distress*!, him, but that is no matter. It is a good plan to ply the whip frequently on a mmi who is at work. No matter if he is doing his best, hit him now and then on “general princi ples” and to prevent- him tak ing any comfort. If his load is not heavy oblige him to go enough faster to mat « up for it.

In the spring of 18G4 Atlanta "as full of Johnston’s oflicers ond soldiers. An uneasy feeling prevailed in every circle, and it wa4 feared that the federals might any day make a forced march ora raid and surprise t he city. Still, our people faced the situation courageously. They had passed through so many dangers that they were not easi ly frightened. The sullen boom of Sherman’s big guns could then he heard forty miles away, but Atlanta maintained 4 her usual serenity outwardly, and gave no sign of her secret misgivings. Our theater was then on its last legs, but occasional per formances were liberally patron ized. One of the star attractions in a strolling company at that time was a pretty, black-eyed young woman, apparently about twenty years old, who cariied the town by storm. Shis girl was a wonder. She was equally at home in tragedy and comedy. She could sing mid dance, and when .she took ■v male part in a play a howling success. A better all-round artist had never visited Atlanta, and that was the general verdict. When sho told her story it “xeited the sympathy of our best people. She was a creole of Louisiana, and her family had been murdered by a raiding party of Butler’s troops. She had lefugeed into the confeder acy, and having no. relations, and friends, she hud decided to use her rare dramatic gifts and earn hew own living. This story made the pretty actress very popular, and she ! was patroniz 'd in a social way by s.,me of our loading citizens Young officers took lu*r out driving, and generals and colo ! nels showed her over our forti (ficutions which were then near ■ ly finished. T 1 e creole’s curiosity about such matters charmed the mili ' tary men, and it ail'oftled them the greatest possible pleasure I to answer her questions and ex plain overv doubtful point. Several weeks rolled l*y, and when her company disbanded, ! the actress remained in Atlanta. I She established herself at a pop iular boarding house, and told j lif*r friends that she needed a [ rest before going on tho Rich* 1 mend stage.’ She received a great deal of attention, and was practically the belle of the army. The lines were closing around the city, but the creolo charmer still lingered. The officers of Johnston’s ar my wore at her feet. They sent her costly presents, and every fine day they might have bsen seen riding with h**r along our lines of breastworks. Suddenly the actress disap peared. The military men were nearly crazy because they could not trace her, Int tho ladies of the city did not seem to regret her departure, and, iu fact, they hinted that she Was no better than she should be. The month of Jung slipped by, and there were no tidings from the missing star. Then came July, and w ith it the beginning of t he siege, ■ At such a critical time we 1 soon forgot the favorite of the j fojtlights, and at the end of forty days’ shelling people were thinking of far more important matters. When the bursting bombs were buruing houses and killing women und children, night and day, it required a very frivolous person to think of a variety ac tress, for the stranger was hard ly anything more. The seige was over at last, and the federal* inarched iu. One line morning a western corps commander with bis stulY rode through the < ity and took a look at the fortifications. By his side was a small, dark faced, hlack-ed young mun,who acted as his guide, and pointed out various things of interest Accidentally l mot this young ster. face to face, and my sur prise caused me to stand almost piralyzed iu my trucks. He was t he pretty actress who had turned the heads of so many of our officers! The stranger's eyes met mine and snapped viciously. Then a mocking smilo spread over his piqmtnt face, and his glance was plainly one of recognition. 1 spoke guardedly to several of Sherman's officers about the mysterious young man, but they gave mo very little satis faction. Finally, 1 learned that lie was a famous personaterof male and female on tho French stage in New York city. But was he a mun or a wo man ? Nobody could answer this question,but 1 was told that he or she, us the ease might be, was one of the most successful spies who had ever served the I union cause. The mystery of this person’s sex remained unsolved, and T never heard of the phenomenon again after Sherman left At lanta. „ Wallace IYtnam Reed. CHICAGO THIEVES. WHAT THEY CAn’t STEAL ISN’T WORTH STEALING. From Chicago Record, If there is anything in or around Chicago that is not liable to be stolen, just name it. Think of the things which seem to lx* beyond the garner ing of thieves—air, sunlight, water. Why, a man on the West Side tapped his neighbor’s ventila ting shaft and stole fresh air for his workshop and became defendant in a damage suit. Sunlight is the greatest ltixu ry in town. A tenant on the top floor of an office building put up an awning which shaded the skylight and thus robbed the poor people on the lower floors of their small allowance of sunshine. He was denounced a thief, and he had to give back the light. As for water, were not some wealthy packers accused of tap ping the city mains and using thousands of dollars’ worth of lake water ? Rertl estate is supposed to be safe from “hold-uj>” men and sneak th'eves, but it isn’t. One day, several years ago, Inspector John D. Shea, then a lieutenant, was sitting in n West. Side police station, when his friend and fellow-country man, Tom Tally, came in, “I have a new kind of case for you, Jack,” said Mr. Tally. “Yes? WJint is it?” . '‘They've shtolen me lot.” “Stolen youj lot ? How is that?” “Well, they’ve shtolen it,and they haven’t. It's there and yet it ain't there. ” It seemed that Mr. Tully had purchased a lot in an,outlying street. He had not looked nt the property for many months. One day he went out to inspect his strip of land and see if the neighborhood was building up. He found tlint his lot had been excavated to a depth of seven feet, so that, iusteadof a build ing lot he had a large cellar with puddles of water and u scattering of tomato cans and broken buttles. Any mAh can be a burglar or a footpad, but it requires'an ingenious and inventive person to steal real estate* and growing crops. Did not a band of pastoral thieves descend upon a ton-acre patch of timothy hay southwest of the stock yards ? They came with a mowing machine, a horse rake, forks and wagons. They made hay while the sun shone and hauled it away on racks. When the owner of the land arrived to gather his crops ho found only a few stray leavings. Hundred* of people hud seen the thieves at work, but no one had sus pected anything. There were no arrests. More than one truck farmer has had his field of cabbages stripped bare in a single night, and this, too, within the cor porate limits of a city where policemen are supposed to lie on patrol duty all the time. In some parts of Chicago, and especially during the cold weath «r, an unoccupied house will be demolished in less than a week unless it is guarded. First, the feuce pickets are taken, then the sidewalks disappear, then the clapboards and window sashes are pulled loose. In more than one instance a house has been razed to the ground ami used, a piece at a time, for firewood. Building sand left in piles is liable to be loaded up and haul ed away'. Bricks have a mar ket value, also, and young trees! can be taken up and transplant ed. _ Working for the good of others indirectly brings about our own good. Tho greatest inspiration for men to live better lives collies from those thut know Christ as a personal Saviour. Don’t forget that the aim of jail religious teaching and learn ing is tlie conversion of sinners laud the salvation of souls. 1.00 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE I RIVER l NDER A TOWN. l IT is relieved that the LOST RIVER IN INDIANA HAS BEEN LOCATED. For many years the invisible course of the famous Lost river, which suddenly sinks from view at a point near the town of Or leans, Ind., has incited scientif ic inquiry. No trace of this under ground river was ever dis covered until the recent heavy rains. It is now believed that Lost river runs directly under the town of Orleans. This be lief is based mainly upon the fact that during the recent Mood the water burst forth from what was supposed to be a small cave in such volumes that the town was flooded. The water has now ceased to flow from the cave, but anyone standing near the entrance can hear the rush ing of the torrent, apparently bund red s»of feet below. The explanation of the sud den appearance of the water at tho'cuve is that owing to the great volume caused by the rain the subterranean channel was insufficient to carry it off, and the pressure became so great that it sought relief through the cave. This belief is further confirmed because some years ago there was an attempt to bore for gas at Orleans. After a depth of 500 feet hud been reached water gushed forth with terrific force and continued to flow for many months.—Cleve land Plain Dealer. THE CREEDS OF THE Deinorest’s Mont lily.
