Bald a little girl, with sutler bare.
Tattered her dress, uncombed her hair:
And her bright blue eyes, In tears upturned
To the (ace ot one in whose heart there burned
A lore of gin, and a lore of self,
That prompted him, for the lore of pelf.
To sell her father rum.

And clamber up abora his knee.
And feel so haopy and so free;
But oh! he's changed, and now I fly
And hide piyself when he comes nigh.
Because you sell him rum.

Who with a shriek, fell to tho floor,???
And then be kicked her out of tlio door,
Saying, ???I will sell your father turn

With horrid oath and fiendish frown.
He said: ???If all the good folks of the town,
In one grand, long petition try
To stop Its isle, even then would I
Sell what, and when, and where I please.
Though blood should flow up to my knees

Though angel'a weep, and Christ should pass
My doom for every burning glass.
Could 1 but gain the heavenly land.
I'd pluck the life fruit with my hand;
And did It pay me but one nail,
I'd damn tho nations with Its sale;
I d ransack heaven and hell before
I'd turn her father from my door;
ho, child! I still will sell him rum!"

A PROHIBITION VICTORY IN OEOROIA.
Whitfield county voted ,liquor out of Its
limits by a vote of moro than two to one, last
Friday. Every precinct was carried but one.
This victory bnt confirms our idea that the
best way to fight liquor Is with local option,
Let each county vote on Its responsibility.
Prohibition bss been beaten In but two coun
ties In tbls stale???Washington and Decatur???
in over 120 fair and square contests. During
tbo coming week Cobb county will vote on
county prohibition. The liquor men nre
more nctlve tbsn the prohibitionists, and
may carry the county. Liquor is already
rnled out of the county precincts, and is sold
only In Uarletta.
Lathy??? Contrary to expectation Cobb
connty gives an overwhelming ??? majority
against whisky. This is n most remarkable
victory, and shows that the peoplo of Georgia
ore equnrely against liquor, and that looal
option is tbo best way to make this sentiment
understood.
A CLEAR VOTE IN NEW YORK.
The temperance people have been defeated
in the New York leglalature by two votea. The
proposition was to submit the qnrstlon of pro
hlblllon to tho, people. The vote stood C3 to
61. The republican parly after pledging itself
to the policy, went back on their pledgee and
defeated it. A new bill bas been Introduced
on the high license plan. The fees are put at
$780 in towns of more than 10.000 inhabitants,
and fSOO in smaller towns. In the meantime
the rural constituencies are organizing and
will elect temperance candidates to the next
legislature. The prohibition feeling Is very
strong in New York.
The prohibition bill has pssied the Iowa
legislators. It was signed by tbs governor
immediately after its passage, and therefore
Iowa can orink no more.
Tin Difficulty cr ilzroau.???Let me say
af ter a close observation for forty years that
when thebablt is long indulged there la noth
ing but the grace of God, tbs conversion of
tug uut uis giaLO v* uuti) iuv luuicioiuu us
tbs soul, a new creature in Christ Jesus, this is
almosttheonly hope of reformation. It is a
great bleeaingtbat wives and motbera hope
when every oue else despairs of reform and
they are not always as truthful and honest as
they ought to be, but whose fault is It? Tbe
husbands the sods! They away tbe tear of
sadness, and appear as cheerful as passible,
and try to conceal tbe faults that would dis
grace me family, and yet they can't do it.
Many persona know tha real atate of things.
Now in view of these facia la it not strange that
men will make, tell and drink whisky and
claim It as a God given right. A right ta do
what???to make drunkards, and change tha
family that should be akin to heaven, Into
what is next to bell on earth? For the picture
changes from one to tbe other, aa these great
principles, truth, honesty and virtue, and
whisky will doit sooner or later. Let even
man be honest with himself and answer this
question, If he hu never felt the destroying
process in his own mind and heart, for even
man must give an account for himself.???J. H.

Harlem went on a nutting and bunting ex
position to Clifton, s romantic and rocky
apotnearthebeadwniim of the Miami. At
one point tbe rocks rise to a height of a hun
dred feet or more along tbe stream and con
tain many fissures and small caves. As the
hunting jiarty were winding around these
rocks by.a.narrow path, one of them slipped
and in falling, his feet scraped the
the rock below the path until ha finally got
a foothold on a ledge a few feet below. He
immediately recovered himself, and on look
ing at tb* place where he bed did down the
rock, he wusarpriaed to aeo that his leet in
slipping had laid bare a hole in the side of
??? e rock'
the rock by brtuhlngulde some undergrowth
which had concealed it. He immediately
called the others, and soon all were standing
on the narrow ledge below the path, looking
at the ojwningin tbe rock*. After tbe re
maining nnderbruah had been removed (he
opening wu tennd to be abont three or four
Ifact in size. A damp wind was blowing
from the month of tbs opening with consid-
aiderable draught. Tbs parly mafic a cursory
examination, one by one,with a bit of lighted
candle, which showed nothing bat a narrow
pasuge abont twenty feet in length , turning
abruptly lo tbe right. The floor was strewn
with the bones of birds and small animals.
Relieving that it was only ono of the many
caves with which tbe region abounds, the
party, with the exception of Mr. Harlem,
who wu much Interested in the cave, aban
doned the exploration. They cautioned him
to be on hla guard against concealed clefts,
and told him to firs his gnn If he heeded
help. Harlem, after lighting a candle and
Btliug hla shotgun ready for action, entered
o opening on hands and knees. The bot
tom ot the pasuge was dry but the air blow
ing through It was damp and sickening, cans
ling the candle to burn dim and bine. Grop
ing caulioualy for about twenty fees, tbo ad
venturer came to tha turn which led into a
larger chamber of the cava. Just as he turned
the corner he stumbled and in steadying him
self put his hand on tho floor of tbe cave,
where he wu shocked to feel something round
and smooth. Starting back with terror, he
raised the candle high above hla head and
looked down. There lay the colls of a huge
serpent, in hla terror Mr. Harlem let fall the
candle and remained motlokless with fear on
his knees. As lack would have it, the can
dle did notgo out, but remained sticking in
the aand on tbe floor of the cave and throw
ing a dim light over the scene. Like a flash
the hideotu head of the soroent darted up
from the floor and tha coils began to move.
Mr. Harlem raid he conld have fled had not
something seemed to chain him to the zpot.
It seemed as if enormous weights wero hung
on every member of hla body, absolutely pro
liiblting flight. The serpent???s eyes appeared
to give forth a blue phosphorescent light ns
they flashed In the gloom. Slowly the crea
ture began to move Its head in circles, ns if
to produce tbe ume effect as the inemerlsi,
Iwbo puts his subject to aleep by dumb wilhl
hie bands. Gradually tbe colls drew nearer
to thatr victim. Mr. Harlem says he Knew
all tho time tbat the bead was approaching
by degrees, and tbatjthe circles were gradu
ally narrowing. He knew that be was ex
periencing what la called the fascination of
serpents, but found It impossible to break
the spell. Hla nerves aeemed completely
powerless, and hie pulse seemed to atop, and
his skin wu moist with cold perspiration
Nevertheless, hla mind wu reasonably clear,
cud tbe events of his life ran In quick sue
cession bofore hla mental vision. With an
ptlsli he thought of the home w hlch he had
eft but a few hours before. The feeling of
helplessness aeemed to lncreue. Suddenly
ho thought of his gun. He dared not re-
movo his eyea from tbe anako long enough to
look for the gun , which he had dropped on
the floor in Ills excitemant, because he * ???
tbat the moment he turnei Array from
creature it would be upon him. Ha groped
on the floor with hfa right hand, and at last
found tlie gun and raised it to his side. The
snake wu too near for him to raise the gun
Ito his shoulder, and he simply held it at his
side and reached back until he fait tho trig
ger. At the deafening report he fell back
unconscious, and know no mom till he found
hie friends bribing hfa face In vinegar and
and water. It seems that hla companions,
and no man In hla senses would tiro at hint
after dark when he could not be absolutely
certain of his aim.
Last year three men, one an old pioneer
- a! ??? file* mAMui.l., MTw.
were prospecting pear Elk* mountain, Wy
oming. WPile in camp one bright moonlight
night a large grizzly came near. They fired
on him and the bear charged. Two of the
men "treed??? and the third ran into the tent,
where the bear followed and killed him, and
then retired to a jucglo near by. Tbo next
morning the survivors followed into the jun
gle and found the bear; the Dear charged and
wiped out the pioneer. Tbe sole survivor then
made tracks for the nearest ranch and help
The story was tbat these men had each been
killed by a terrible bite on tbe left side of tbe
body. Female grizzlies are uauslly lighter Id
color than the male, and the average western
hunter, at their tails, call them "cinnamon.???
Toe true cinnamon is a variety of the blacs
bear,although they grow sometimes to quttea
large s : ze. Those I have Jumed have run, al
though one showed fight when it was too
late. We came on him while still hunting
in the snow, and wounded him so he could
not travel fast. When we caught up he
turned on us, but as he did so I gave him
the shot I wanted in the chest and it was all
over with him. The ordinary black bear will
run like a deer when jumped; but for all tbat
he is not the harmless innocent he is some
times represented to be, tbat any man can
conquer with a walkiug slick. The books are
full of "bar fites,??? of which he is the hero,
and the following telegram, cut from a recent
paper, shows what he is capable of, even east
of the Alleghenies: . _ ??? ,

crawled Into the cave and found him lying

he bad ahothlmaelf bat a law drops of water

neighboring farm house, where he soon re
covered sufficiently to be taken home. He
is only just recovering Irom his nervous pros
tration. From the neighbors It wu learned
that a traveling show which bad had an ex
hibition near there some time ago bad lest a

A Ciiaii by A Grizzly.??????I bad been bear
bunting one morning for several hours with
the usual lack of succeaa, although we bad
threaded the most likely thickets. A heavy
storm of rain and aleetcomlogon discouraged
us so that wo returned to our ponies and
turned back for our osmn, Taking a abort
cut, wa rode Into and endeavored to cross a
very dense balsam swamp, through which
ran a little brook. Cold and weary, soaked
with tha heavy rain, we amuhed our way
noisily through, hers Jumping fallen trees
end mud holes, there dismounting to let the
horses get through a bad spot alone. In the
very midst of the ewamp we rode literally
right on to a grizzly, the great beast rushing
up from Its neat directly under the nose of
noise ol onr hasty and careless approach
yet making no algn and awaiting us with
???upreiue indifference, bnt when he jumped
moet fortunately for uo, he ran. We would
have stood no dunce mounted on our
bones,ana hemmed In by the tangled swamp.
We epring from our ponies and run after the
bear, firing as we run. Then follows a mzd
chase through tha muddy recesses of the
???wimp and ont into the more open forest.
~ ally I got a good chance and give biin a
Fin
couple of txploaiva shells from my no 12,
near tha tail, railing him for and aft. He does
not ran to fast now, and I catch up and give
him a right and left in tha .boulder as he
rears to jump some fallen timber, and thus
finish him. He settles down In a life-like at
titude on the logs and wa come and admire;
bnt we do not go up pnd kick him???oh. ho.
Wa dlveat him bf bis overcoat and hold our
usual autopsy and track ont tbe shots.
Then we go back to onr horses and find tha
carcass ol an elk near where wa had jumped
him. This accounted for his lack of pugnac
ity, having made a heavy thanksgiving kind
ofa ???
dinner and only wanted to be let alone.
The next afternoon 1 returns,! there with a
guide. During the night grizzlies bad cov
ered the elk carcass with dirt and trash; one
Up of a horn alone protruded above the tem
porary grave to abow tbat a great elk lay be
neath. Going down to leeward some forty or
fifty yards we hid onnelves carefully, and
witched patiently but fruitlessly until after
dark. Tbe nextmorning we returned again.
The elk had been dug up and nearly all de
voured; it was In a high state of decomposi
tion, and had evidently disagreed with some
of tha bean. We atlll hunted the awamn
carefully aud found nothing,althocg the mud
was still settling In the bear wallows. Watch
ing a carcass by daylight Is of bat little use. I
have done It repeatedly until lt>aa too dark
to see the eights of my rifle, bnt never getUng
shot thus; and moet hunters here the same
experience. Tha grizzly often feeds at night
Ah OLD-FasmoskDDcii???In tho year 1820,
Adams and Boisseau were two energotio,
thriving and trusted buslnesa men of Fetors-
burg. Adams was engaged In business with
a Mr. Aiken, one of tho beat known mer
chants of his day. Boisseau and bis father
operated a large flour mill. In the auiumer
ot 1820, there lived In the tall threa-atory
brick building, corner of Old alreet aud He.
Paul???s alley, n Miss Pennington. To Miss
Pennington all accounts agree in attributing
a remarkable aliara ot beanty. Adams and
Boisseau both visited Miss Pennington, and,
according to popular rumor, they both loved
her and were candidates for her hand.
(Whether Adams, who was the older of the
two, had made anch progress In the lady's
favor as to make Boisseau wild with jealousy.

ifavor hi to make Boisseau wild with jealousy,
(or that he by soma word or action incurred
this rival's hatred is not known, but tbo im-
_. fiiate cause of the duel was an assault made
by 1! usseuu on Adams with a whip. Bolwaau
had enlisted bis friend, s Mr. Strong, in his
quarrel and thoy both set upon Adams at tha
samo time???Strong holding him while ]!ill-
se.u used his whip. Adams wu weak from
illness and was unable to defend himself
properly.* Ho bore hla punishment as nest he
could, hut sworo to have hla reveoge or die
with all his efforts in that direction. Ho Im
mediately challenged Boisseau, and In tha
event of hia (Adams???) survival, he invited Mr.
Strong to stand In front of bis pistol. It ta
said that Biissean???s father, with the grit of
an old Spartan, declared that as??? hia son nad
been tlie aggressor In the difficulty he should
abide by tho consequences whatever they
were, and, if necessary to insure his son's
prompt attendance, he himself would act as
Eja f
second on tha ground. Bstween two and
three o???clock on an August afternoon, the
principals and their seconds drove to the
place appointed for the meeting in carriages.
Young Boisseau needed no urging to bo on
hand at the appointed time.
His father followed at a distance, Just
back of Blamlford church, which was then
used as a regular place of worship, wu a
heavy growth of pine. Thia had been the
place selected. The spot chosen by tbe sec
onds was that portion ot the cemetery in-
eluded in Mx. Robert Hamilton's .Mare. Al
the time, rase' localilj-su^-dMMPHhoua,y

the deadly purpose of the men, the usual ten
paces were in this instance reduced to seven,

The duellists were placed neck (o back and
instructed to wheol at tho word of command
and fire. Tlila position wu probably adopted
to put tbe cooler and more active man on the
same footing with the other who was the bet-
t*r snot. The weapons used were tbe regula
tion dualling pistols, nearly two feet long,
brats barrel, smooth bore, and carrying a
sphere of lead weighing a traction lest than
an ounce. The murderous disposition of tha
combatants made tbe death of one or the
other a foregone conclusion, bnt tbe horrible
fatality attending tbe word, fire! wu hardly
anticipated. When tbe warning wu given,
Boisseau placed bis disengaged left hand on
his right aide, with possibly the
his right side, with pcssimy tno view ot
shielding hla breut from Adam'! fire. At
tha command to fire, both faced about simul
taneously. Adams qu ickly brought his ptalol
in a line with Bolsseau???s band, which, allow
ing conspicuously on the duk cloth of hta
coat, served to attract Ills aim, and lent hta
hall through the band Into his rival's body,
Boisseau bad not gotten hls weapon Into po
sition when hls antagonlst'a bullet tore
through hta heart, but the convulsive move
ment of tbe muscles, anfferiog the agony of
the death-stroke, censed him to tighten the
grup on the stock of hls pistol, the hammer
(ell ami tlie upward tcndrncyof the discharge
sufficiently elevated the barrol of tho pistol
to Bend tbe ball Into Adams, who fell mor
tally wounded.
The rumor tbat a duel wu going to be
fought near tbe church caused many cnrlout,
amiperhaps anxious parlies to be in tbe Im
mediate neighborhood. The acene presented
to tbe eyes of those first reaching tho battlo
ground needs no extra ooloring to height???
Us gbutlineu. Tbe seconds, seeing that their
principals were beyond all euthly aid, and
not wishing to i>e discovered byttMoflamof
the Inw standing over tbe dead bodies, had
liutlly letL tha ground and Ued In tbe direc
tion of North Carolina. Botaaaeu lay motion
less where he had fallen???dead. Adams hsd
dragged himself a few yards away and lay
writhing on tbo ground. Add the blood and
tha pistols and the picture ta complete.
Adams lingered through the night.
Tha friends of both tbe men were Indig
nant tbat they should have been permitted by
their seconds to fight under circumstances
which made the death of one or both certain.
Every particle of that chance, which ahonld
distinguish a duel from a street b awl, bail,
they claimed, been eliminated by tha peculiar
