10 THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, TUESDAY, JUNE 17,1884.—TWELVE PAGES. UNCLE REMUS. THE FUN AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE OLD HOME. Alt the Animali Went in Cahoot and Fixed up a Spring House In Whloh to Keep Butter. But Wattle Weaael Would Manage to M Oet There Ell"—The Animals Watch for Him. Uncle Remus chipped the tobacco from the end of n plug, rubbed it between the palms of his hands, placed it in his pipe, dipped the pipe in the glowing embers, and .leaned back in his chair, and seemed to be completely happy. “Hit monght not er bin endurin’ er de dog days,” said the old man, recurring to Daddy Jack’s story, “kaze dey wuz time* dat w’en •ley push ole Brer Rabbit so close he *us des bleed z ter git ho re vengeance out'n um.

I aint nov’ tell you 'bout little Wattle Weasel is I?" asked the old suddenly turning to the little boy. The child laughed. The dogs on the plants tion hud killed a weasel a few nights be fori h very cunning-looking littlo animal,—i soino of the negroes hnd sent it to the big-hoti: f»* a curiosity. He connected this fact wit Unde Remus's allusions to the weasel. Bcfon he could make any reply, however, tin man went on: “No, I holin' I aint. en it coine 'cross right fresh en hot time I year talk er Bre Wolf eatin’ ho granny.

ELECTRICITY. niblie, but strange to say,.though eallir elf nil electrical phenomenon, there is i Two Children Hern Have it Wonderful l'ower. From the Cincinnati CumincrrJal-Uusettc. Since the discovery of the wonderful oleetrj cal powers of Miss Lula Hurst, the original Georgjn electro-magnetic girl, these womb fully endowed creatures have become us plcn tiful as weeds in a corn-patch. Miss Mattie Harris’s museftm und of the many who-have conic before the ailing her phenomenon, there is no evi of any electric power (at least so tin physicians say) in anything she dot**. How ever, the excitement occasioned by her ingly miraculous per forma nee* has led t discovery of two little boys, right here in our midst (the children of highly respected wealthy parents), whose jiower* are (lint there enn no longer bo any dispute to the force of electricity in the human body, and howsoever weak may be its mniii festations in the case of Miss I nee and strength in the minds of these little fellows must not only astonish but eon- vinco the coldest skeptic. Their possession of this peculiar faculty of generating the electric power within themselves has long been known fmt owing to tho high standing of the family and their nutitful dislike of notoriety tins knowledge! lias been kept as nearly as jmsHihlc within the limits of thcir 9 own circle of inti mate friends. The secret having come to the ears of a Com ercinl-Gazette reporter, however, one o those ubiquitous |»er*om>ges yesterday railed at the family residence on Walnut hill, and by dint of great persuasion finally learned from the mother, a charmingly beautiful woman of uhotit thirty years, the confirmation of the stories told, and in the end a sight of tho children themselves. It was with great luetniiee that the story was told, tho lady hnv ing the ever present fear of a neighborhood sen sation to sny the lenst, through tho publication of her words. The reporter was conducted to elegant drawing room, opening from tho aeious hallway, replete with the evidences wealth ami refinement. The weather \ discussed, tho beauties of a country life (for it known the house is situated in the midst me of the most beautiful mid aristocratic sub urbs), indeed the probability of Blaim illation touched upon, before the mother could be fairly started in a direct conversation re garding her children. “Oh, there is nothing so wonderful about it Her nil," she said, “wli rata lid it, for I myself can make sparks fly from my linger tips’, ami do other apparently strange things when the weather is suitable. “Ha* the weather anything to do with th< mwer of the children?" asked the sciibe, mix oils to glean all the information possible. “Oil, yes, indeed,” replied the Indy, “In o winter time, especially during extremely Id spoils, the Ixiys in playing about cm iireely touch one another without the spark living from their lingers and the tips of their liiiir with a pop ns loud its that of a toy pis- 'indeed l" Yes,mid in attempting to open or shut tin •gistcr the sparks are not only bright mid lour, but the report suflleient almost to startle HU." j will tell you bow wo first discovered this power in my children. The older one came shuffling across the room one morning to kiss me, mid when putting up his little mouth I fclt'siich ii stinging sensation in my lips Hint I my face away, saying, 4 Why, Willie, why .. . von take that pin from your mouth?" “I haven’t any pin, inn," snid he, mid investiga tion convinced me (lint he had not. Home hat puzzled I asked him t kiss me again, and hurrying ngnin across the room he placed his lips to mine and the nsntinn was the same iis before. I then al lied that it was necessary for him toshulll feet nltoiit, as it were, upon the carpet, in .er («> efleet this result, which 1 was at once satisfied was of an electrical nature. The softer and heavier the imp of the floor covering tli re perceptible was the shock." Was this the only test inode?" asked th , no,” replied tho lady; “this Jitth , ns you soe.emi scarcely touch anything the shape of metal withou producing elec trical sparks and when thoroughly charged ither one can, merely by bringing bis finger ithin mi inch or two of a gn* bracket, make the Humes start out." cm* that shortly alter the discovery of this strange (tower in the children, the « tv of the family was further aroused h; ing the pttbli-dicd accounts of the doings of ,ulu Hurst, the original electric girl, living UedarviHe, Georgia. Tho tests, as made * e, were then tried and creditable w sny that these little !h failed in none of them. Fearing, as prefaced above, newspaper notoriety, the matter was of ur*e kept secret, but the one example given e re|H»rter is sufficient to eriuhlish the fact that these arc two of the most remarkable hildren ever met with. A book was ,1 on the Moor, and a gentleman USUI of the family induced to lie at full ngth upon it. and by placing his hands un til* supporting volume *“** in kilts, was ah 'im a twine string, eu hide hi*»e’f whar h kin keep he eye on tie noggin er butter.

Sitting about of an evening, with some of our immediate friends and relative* present, we have discussed these things, ami one little thing would I** discovered say to-night, and another a week hence. As I have told you. old The time was a drawin* nigh for the exami nation, and them as had chillun at school was mightly consumed about how they was a gwine to show off. In co’o they all wanted thorn to do the best. Mr. Westfield had gin it out that at the resk of ketchin'the hickry they must’nt fail to fetch up thcr examination compositions and sjieechcs by next Friday. “Fetch a com position," says he, “if it aint but three lines, and I don’t want all of you to write birds, and flowers, and spring, and such that." Friday evenin' was allors a big time at “Ingon Head’s" school. The neighbor* ingin nerly gethered in to hear the chillun say ther “pieces," and at sich times the chillun oilers tried to show off—some would pet with ther under jaws drapt ami gaze like they never had saw uohofly afore. The Frcshourses inginuoriy showed off that way. Home would cut up all the devilment that was in 'em iist to torment old ,Westfield, another way of showing oil*, and tothers would try to see which could study the loudest to play like they was the smartest”, and it. sounded sorter this way: “B-n bn k-r ke baker, shee-n sha d-y dy, shady, l-n la d «ly, lady; 5 times 5 is 25, and b times 0 is- lemme see, b times 0 is 1-2-3-4-5 (on the fin gers) b times (l is 30.
