GOVERNOR CRAWFORD.
An esfe mod correspondent
writes a letter to the prize com
mittee of the Press that after
some search she has not found
any record of a duel fought by
Governor Crawford, of Georgia.
She finds that Win. H.-Crawford
fought two duels, and that
James Jackson also killed op
ponents on the so-called “field
of honor,” but no record is
made of George W. Crawford.
Our correspondent will proba
bly find no trace of the inci
dent in print. It is a fact,
however, that George W. Craw
ford killed a man in a duel and
was so much overcome by tlie
result of the meeting that his
' friends declare he was never the
sane al .tward. He supported
the family of his dead antago
liist as long as lie lived.
George W. Crawford lived in
Richmond county, about ten
miles above Augusta. He served
with Toombs and Stephens in
the general assembly and was
twice governor of the state.
Ho was appointed secretary of
war by President Zachary Tay
• lor, and after the death cf the
latter made a tour abroad. He
presided over the state sover
eignty convention in Milledge
ville, January 1(1, 1801.—Sa

HE WALKS ON THE WATER.
Americas people are interest
in the performance of one Rob
ert Cook, who will astonish the
world by walking on the sur
face of the Ohio river from Pitts
burg to Cincinnati. Cook was
reared here and is well remem
bered, though it is said that
Cook is his ‘stage name’ only
The New York Journal has
the following mention of ‘Prof.’
Cook’s exploit:
“Bob Cook, of Boston, who
was born in Americas, Ga.,
doesn’t claim to be amphibious,
but he will walk on the water
from Pittsburg to Cincinnati
“The distance is about 400
miles nnd a little hilly in spots,
s ' some people say. A wager
of SI,OOO lias been made that
he can’t accomplish this feat
within fifteen days.
“Cook was in the city yester
day on his way to New Orleans,
where lie will go into training
on the surface of Luke Ponehar
train.
“The shoes he v/ears aro the
real water shoes, four feet long,
six inches wide and six inclns

‘•lt is unfortunately too close
to the truth,” said the Judge,
earnestly and emphatically,
“that the present state of the

in the light of recent events,
that punishment is not more

killing of a dog than for the

GREELEY’S GEORGIA
VISITOR.
A SHARP CONVERSATION BETWEEN
X.AMAR AND THE HREAT
EDITOR.
Wallace P. Reed in the Chicago
Times-Herald.
Among the southerners in
Gotham in the fall of 18rif> was
Col. Albert Lamar, a brilliant.
Georgian, whose editorial work
mi the Macon Telegraph some
years ago brought him into the
front rank of the journalists of
that region.
Lamar was a representative
of the old south. He belonged
to a distinguished family, and
was proud of his ancestry and
his connection.
One day the colonel found
himself in front of the Tribune
office,
He smiled as he recalled some
humorous description of Editor
Greeley, and lie suddenly felt a
desire to see the man who had
been so bitterly bated and de
nounced by his fellow- country
men south of the Potomac.
•*
Why not call on him ?
Lamar debated" this question
-in his inind for some time. He
was a scholar and a gentleman,
vitli the blue blood of the
Huguenots rioting in his veins,
while the editor of the Trihuuo
belonged to tin* “lmid-sill”
class, Gould he' afford to call
on such a man ?
The Georgian was not long
in making up his mind. He
was in New' York to see the
sights—to study the freaks and
oddities of a strange people,
who, by some inexplicable de
cree of providence, had con
quered their superiors in the
luckless land of Dixie.
So he entered the Tribune
building and sent in his card
to the editor. He was speedily
admitted, but his .reception
soniewhnt disconcerted him.
Evidently his name had not
impressed the old man who sat
scratching away at his desk as
if his life depended upon the
completion of his work within
a given time.
The colonel remained stand
ing a moment and then, in
some embarrassment, be sat
down in the nearest chair.
The busy man at the desk
continued to spin out his mys
terious hieroglyphics without
looking up or saying a word.
The visitor felt that he was
in an awkward fix. He was
there uninvited, with no mo
live beyond the gratification of
his idle curiosity. He was in
the house of his enemy, and he
began to think that he had act
ed very unwisely in placing
himself in sucti a position.
“Confound the old rascal!”
lie said to himself. “How am
I to accouqt for my visit ? J
have no business here, and lie
has no time to talk with me.”
He was wondering how he
could slip out of the room,
when Mr. Greejey pusliei) his
copy asjije and suddenly wheel
ed his chair around so that-he
could face his caller. -•
“Howdy-do, Mr. Lamar,” lie
said briskly, with his keen eyes
fastened upon the colonel. “Hnt
exeuse me, yoti ary prqhqhly a
oolonej.”
“They call me by that title
at home,” replied Lamar stiff
ly-
“ Why, certainly,” wus the
answer. “I might have known
that. What was your regi
meut ?”
“I hud no regiment,” replied
Lamar “In Georgia nearly
every prominent man is called
colonel, unless lip is a minister,
a physician or a judge.”
•‘Exactly,” answered the
other. “Very sensible custom
It must be a delightful country
where a man can bo a full
fledged colonel without ever
giviug his attention to military
affairs for even a single hour.
Think I’ll fijn dq\yn thpre pext
winter and becomp a colonel
myself,”
This bantering tail* was not
pleasant to Lamar and he drew
himself up rather haughtily us
lie prepared a crushing rebuke.
Hill his crusher was never de
livered. Hefore lie could open
his mouth Greeley addresser]
him ugajq.
“And sft you are from fieof
!gia, colonel ? 1 wonder jf yu
belong to that family of La?

I for generations as pirates and
sla\o-lradui* ? I mean lire La-

mars who came over here from
the other side of the sen to se
cure liberty for themselves and
deny it to others—the Lamars
who tried to build up an aris
tocracy with slavery for its cor
ner stone —the Lamars who
stole negroes from Africa and
landed them in this country—
the Lamars who defied our con
stitution and laws—tln* Lamars
who caused a Georgia grand
jury to indict me because some
copies of my paper wore circu
lated id that State? Do you
belong to that family of slave
dealers and rebels ?”
It was impossible to interrupt
the speaker while lie was pour
ing out this torrent of questions
and file Georgian was so much
surprised that he temporarily
lost his self-possession.
Astonishment and anger strug
gled for supremacy in his mind,
and lie was trying to decide
whether he should answer or
tight or take a dignified depart
ure, when the Tribune editor
broke into a genial laugh, and
a flood of -sunshine seemed .to
leap from bis eyes,
“Ha, ha! - ” lie laughed. “Took
you by surprise, didn’t I ? Well,
I guess that you Lamars are
among the brainest and bravest
of the whole lot. How are you
getting on down in Georgia ?”
Forgetting his wrath of a
moment before, Lamar replied
that the people of the entire
south were in hard luck and
many of them were suffering.
“Stop playing poker and
drinking so much champagne! ”
snapped Greeley sharply. “You
fellows must giue up your vices
and your extravagant ways and
settle down to hard work and
hard economy.”
By this time the visitor had
found his tongue. He was just
angry enough to talk eloquent
ly and with the proper spirit.
For nearly an hour he defend
ed his section and explained
the sisuaUon as he viewed if,
and from'time to time the great
editor nodded approvingly or
asked a question showing his
deep interest in the subject and.
his w illingness to hear the other
side of the question.
When Lamar had finished he
rose to lea-, i. still regretting
tliat lie had ever seen the in
side of the Tribune office.
Hut the sunny-faced old man
who stood looking at him with
a kindly light in his honest
eyes was altogether different
from the eccentric person who
had made himself so disagree
able a short time before,
“Lamar, 1 like you,” said
the philosopher in his hearty
way, “and if I can do anything
to advance your interests while
you are in the city, or at any
time, just let me know. 1 would
like to help you,"
The ex-confederate thanked
him in a bewildered way, and
after a hearty handshake left
the office feeling like u limn
who was recovering from u
crazy dream.
“When I reached the street,”
said Lamar in relating the
story, “I pinched myself to
make sure that I was awake. I
walked about two miles think
ing the matter oyer »ud trying
to deoidu whether I had done
right in not resenting Greeley’s
offensive remarks, ] recalled
the many things that I had
heard about Ids eccentricities,
and I came to the conclusion
that he was an exceptional
character, aud not to be judged
by ordinary rules. I never saw
him again, but 1 shall always
think of him a man with a
big heart and a wise. His rough
tongue hurt him m<>re titan it
did others, because it made him
misi|itdpr«tuQd. There was not
tho slightest spite or malice in
what he said about the Lamars.
It was just ids (Mid way of draw
ing me out and sizing me up.”
Lamar followed Greeley over
the du]k riyer sopip years ago,
and no southern journalist has
since appeared who can he re
garded fts Jd w Pt iU ll l i» the field
of work in which he distinguish?

| THE MATTER OF NIC EVE;
Fifty years ago nerves wen
! not a recognized factor in oi ■
| civilization; now even childrr t
know them and acknow led;: ■
! them as terrible masters.
This is true all over the world,
in Europe as well as in America,
for we can make no claim t"
the monopoly of a disease f. r
which we invented the name of
nervous prostration. Yet we
may safely declare that we have
always with us a majority of
the cases, ns well ns causes, aid
have even been forced to make
a verb to express the condition
of “over-doing. ”
A medical authority who lies
given much attention to tin
subject, finds that a new form
of nervous trouble is confined
largely to northern Europe and
to the northern part c f the
Lnited States. He has called
the illness House Nerves, and
believes that those who romai'
do much in-doors are tie
special victims of the distress
ing ailment. The sympton s
are low spirits, brooding ov i
wrong, real or imaginary, grea
irritability and morbid habit <■'
mind.
Women, of course, funds'
the greatest per cent, of tli
sufferers—men whose work con
fines them to offices are next in
number, and the worst patient
of thorn all is the woman who
inclined to lie delicate, remain
in the house for every pnssiii

ammeter. Such a creature i j
really afflicted—she is nlway>

happen to the absent husband
and children, conjuring u

which is irrevocably lust. T

there is no other aliment to b

For the most desperate cas
there is positive eti'e, if onl»
tlie Woman can be made to de

is a strange phase of house
nerves that the patients 1 o

unconsciously, look upon illness
as a sort of sacred calling, i>
coign of vantage which they are
loath to yield.
The prescription for the cure
consists of a judicious mixture

CHRIST’S SENTENCE.
TRANSLATION OK PONTIUS PILATE'S
VERDICT FROM THE ITERREW.
from the New ’lork Herald.
One of the most curious doc
uments in existence—namely,
the sentence which was passed
upon Jesus Christ by I’ontius
I’ilare—has just been brought
to light Uy the Maiquis de Tro
goff-Cauvaux. The history of
this document is interesting. It
is reproduced fmm a brass plate
which was discovered in the
Villa d’ Aquila, in Naples, in
1720. The French commission
ers of arts were making excava
tions in Naples in that year,
md they found this plate in an
antique vase of marble. When
they left Naples the plate was
removed to the sarcristy of the
Chartreux monastery, near by,
where it tvas enolosed in a box
>f ebony. There it has remain
*d ever since, ns the monks re
peated that it be left with
them. Owing to their many
loyal services, their request was
granted.
A copy of the plate, however,
was taken by the French com
missioners of arts, and the
words thereon, which are in
Hebrew, were duly translated
into French.
Another copy of the plate
came into the possession of M.
Demon, and when his curiosities
were sold wns bought by Lord
Howard for 2,890 f. The an
tique vase of white marble, in
which the plate was orgitially
kept, is now in the Chapel of
Caserta.
Here follows a translation of
the words on the plate:
“Sentence rendered by Pon
ius l’ilate, governor regent of
Lower Galilee, to the effect that
lesus of Nazareth shall suffer
the punishment of the cross.
“In the year 17 of the Em
pire of Tiberius Caesar, and the
2o day of the month of March,
in the Inly city of Jerusalem-
Anll as and Caiaphas being
priests and gQprificors of the
people of God, Pontius Pilate
governor of Lower Galilee, seat
'd oil the presidential seat of
ihe Praetorium.
“Condemns Jesus of Nazareth
to die on a cross between two
iliieves in consequence of the
following weighty and notorious
testimony on the part of the
people:
“First—Jesus is a seducer.
“Second—He is seditious.
“Third—He is an enemy of
the law.
•‘Fourth —He falsely calls
himself the aon of God.
“Fifth—He falsely calls him
self King of Israel.
“He entered into the temple,
followed by a multitude bearing
palms iu their hau ls.
“I’ontius Pilate orders the
first Centurion Guiriher Corne
lias to lead him to the place of
punishment.
“Warns all persons, whether
poor or rich, not to prevent the
death of Jesus.
“The witnesses who have
signed tho sentence against
Jesus are:
“First—Daniel Tobani, u
Pharisee,
‘ ‘ Hecoud—J oan lies /i »roba bel.
“Third —Taphael Tobani.
“Fourth —Capet, a public
man.
“Jesus w ill leave the city of
Jerusalem by the Stiunean
gate.”
The words of this sentence
fill the entire plate, except a
small portion on one side, and
there appear these words)
“A similar plate hus been
sent to each tribe.”
Evidently, then, there were
at one time several copies of
this sentence in existence, but
what bus become of them no
one knows.

A WON DE REEL SIGN.
A writer says, in regard to
the Prussia of fifty years ago,
j that it had a state lottery, and
lin every town, large or small,
was a collector appointed to
sell tickets, says the Youth's
Companion, One day a sc-r
--vant girl came to the collector
in Hagen, and asked if she
oould buy No. 23.
He did not have it in his pos
session. but, as the girl seemed
very much in earnest, and re
fused to he put off with any
other, he tried to obtnin it from
some of other collectors in
town, and finally succeeded.
The drawing took place, and
Hagen rose to a state of fever
ish excitement when it wns
known that this girl had be
come a winner of a large sum
of money. She found herself,
for a time the chief object of
interest in the town.
She was, of course, asked how
she dime to fix upon No. 23.
Thereupon she gave this simple
and lucid explanation:
“I dreamed one night No. 7>
and t lie second night 1 dreamed
No. 7, and a third night again.
So I thought ‘Three tiniesseven
makes twenty-three,’. and 1
bought that number.”
SHE TOOK THE HINT.
A private soldier’s washing at

by the married soldiers’ wives,
who are expected to sew on ni:s

dress. Sunday after Sunday
had his shirt come back with
the eollnr button off -or else
hanging by a thread. • He had
spoken, to her 011 the subject,
and she bad promised to see to
it; I nit still the buttons were
always missing.
On Sunday he got out of pa
tience when a missing button
had made him late fur church
parade.
“Rad luck to the woman!”
he exclaimed. “Begurru, I'll
give her a hint this time, any
how!”
He then took the lid of a tin
blacking box, about three inches
in diameter, drilled two ho!es
in it with a fork and sewed it
on the shirt, which be sent t<>

came buck he found his laun
dress lmd taken the hint. She
had made a buttonhole to fit

HOW TO LOSE A CFSTOM
ER.
A possible costumer in the
millinery department, was ex
amining a hut very attentively
when the ambitious salesgirl ap
proached, says the New York
Press.
“That hat is a bargain,” sin
said persuasively, “reduced
from $lO. It is just the thing
to suit your style.”
The customer nodded, but
said nothing, and the girl per
sisted. “My friends think 1
have excellent taste in such
matters, and L should be glad
to suggest any little alteration
that may be needed iu the trim
ining. The hat will look lovely
on you.”
“I uni looking for a hat for
my daughter, who is just seven*
teen," said the customer, quiet
ly. *
The sales girl hastened to
make amends. “Oh,"said she,
“better take the hat, I localise it
is n bargain. It will look just
as well on a young face.’'
Then she wondered why an
angry woman bounced out ot
the store.

. “I'eoph* are not yet done with
saying that it takes j£fi,ooo to
convert a Jew, That is far tdo
cheap an estimate, for it costs
the bleod of the Lord of glory
to purchase salvation for even
one sinner. Itut even if there
were Ollty one Jew brought to
Christ lor every spent
on Jewish missions, would that
Im an argument against Jewish
missions? No, Jewish mis-'
sions rests entirely on the com
mand of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and a faithful church must
still carry the gu*|*d to the
Jews even if not a single Jew j
accents it."
