He Rang the Bell.
A certain merchant had occasion, the
other day, to leave his store for a few
minutes, and asked a countryman “to
keep store" for him, to which the latter
assented. But no sooner had he left than
an ominous ringing of the bell attached
to the cash drawer brought him back.
"What are you fooling with my cash
drawer for, sir ?’’ ho Inquired.
"Is that ’ar darned bell a cash drawer ?
Didn’t know it. I jlst rubbed my elbow
'ginst the thing and It rung, but I didn't
mean no harm by it."

Origin at the Polka Dance.
This is the origin of the dance called
tho Polka: A servant girl In a tradesman's
family la Bohemia was, one afternoon,
singing a village song and dancing to the
tlmo of a peculiar step, and while doing
so was observed by her employer, who
made her repeat tho performance. In tho
evening sho was brought into the parlor,
and, in tho presence of some friends of the
family, she sang and danced again. Not
long afterward occurred a citizens’ ball in
the town, and the step was introduced;
and. In 1835, five years afterward, It came
into fashion in Prague and was called the
Polka, which means, In Teheque, half.

Editor (XilumbuH Times: The taking of

The case on the part of tho State was
opened In a half hour’s speech from Col.
Lyman W. Martin, In that ablo and elo
quent manner peculiar to himself.
Col. Samford followed In behalf of de
fendants. He spoke three quarters of an
hour. His speech was an able ono, every
one being deeply Impressed with his earn

JudgoJ. F. Waddell concluded on the
part of the State. Ho kept the floor about

this county. The court and audience
seemed spell-bound at the aide and elo

ATLANTA NOTE*.
— . ■ ) ..i— w
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, the great
commoner, was In Atlanta yesterday, with
his two faithful servants, en route to
Washington.
The (ommomwcalth, which has been so
ably conducted by Col. Styles, has gone
up. He has not given up tho field, how
ever, and hereafter we will hear from him
in concoction with Smith A Small, as the
editor of the Atlanta Telegram.
Mr. Harris, late tho faceteous editor of
the Savannah News, is engaged on the
editorial staff of tho Atlanta Constitution.
Ho was afraid of another outbreak of the
fever in Savannah, and left thus early be
fore next summer.
The local editor of the Commonwealth, on
his side of the last issue of that paper,
says; “The man trying to struggle
through life without subscribinging for
the Oommonu'ealth, is on tho wrong track
to fortune.” The heavy editor on the
other side announced the suspension of
the paper.
Anothor chance is afforded tho people to
visit a jubilee iu Atlanta. This time H. 1.
Kimball wants them to come together
from all parts of the State and Jubilate
over the first loom placed in his factory.
These jubilees and meetings in Atlanta
are becoming too seldom.
Judge Tompkins, of the Savannah Cir
cuit, has been quite sick in Atlanta, but Is
convalescing.
Atlanta notes are quite current among
our State exchanges. An Atlanta note is
good enough to be current anywhere.—
Constitution. Our friend Is correct. They
ought to bo good, for nearly everybody

Dear Times We left Balnbridge Mon
day last, Oapt. Walter Fry, commanding.
Col. Barden was among the distinguished
passengers, and killed two men for chang
ing a liquid, he liked for one which we
thought was pleasant, 1 viz: npiritus fru
menti for molasses and water. The corpses
were disposed of.ln a marine way, and we
yet livo.
That noble and chivalrous soul, Cox, of
Harris county, was undoubtedly the life
of the party. To him please express our
thanks for more than we anticipated, in
the dance alone. Frank Markham, with
his Ox-Foot ties, eclipsed us all in the
“light, fantastic toe.” En route, wo had
the pleasure of meeting the accomplished
Miss White, of Greenwood, Fla.; also the
Misses Bryant and Gammon, of Green
wood. At Woolfolk's bar we were de
tained for Beveral hours, not on acoount
of water, but the Big Foot was heavily
loaded and could not stem the tido.
Captain Fry, although young in the
capacity of Master of a steamer, under
stands his business, and every depart

An Overanxious Man.
From tho Detroit Freo Press. |
Ho was around yesterday alternoon in
quiring after “the latest,” and he looked
bo hard up and knocked about that many
wondered what possible benefit a political
viotory could be to him. When they made
bold to ask him, he replied:
“Well, you see, my brother Bill is fish
ing for the office of Seoretary of War.”
“Ho is, eh ?’’
“Yes, sir; and if ho gets it ho will get
brother Sam appointed Revenue Collec
tor.”
“Yes.”
“And then Sam will get the old man ap
pointed rostmaster.”
“Yes.”
“And the old mao will get my brother
in-law on as a letter carrier.”
“Yes."
“And my brother-in-law will use his in
fluence to get me appointed weighmaster
of the Western District, and then the
whole family will walk around in clover
knee high. You see how much depends
upon this thing.”

The Indian Bible.
Among the rare old books most careful
ly treasured by bibliomaniacs in this coun
try, none is more valued than Eliot’s In
dian Bible. There are but few copies of
tho first or 1663 edition extant, and It is
very rarely that ono of these is offered for
sale. Tho copy sold on Tuesday night
from tiio Menziea collection is an excep
tion, as it has been sold and resold seve
ral times since it was received here from
England in 1861. Never until Tuesday
night, however, lias it changed hands for
less than one thousand dollars. In face
of tho fact that it had been recently ren
dered perfect, and that its real value had
been enhanced by perhaps tho most beau
tiful and costly binding with which a book
was over garnished, it commanded only
S9OO.
There are but twenty-six copies of the
edition in 1663 In this country. Of these
tho New York Historical Society owns
one, the Long Island Historical Society
one, James Lenox two, T. W. Field, of
Brooklyn, one, the Hon. Henry C. Mur
phy, of Brooklyn, two, and the Hon.
Samuel B. Gardner, of Easthampton, L.
1., one. Mr. Gardner’s copy is the only
one known to have been printed with
out a rubricated title page. It was given
to one of his ancestors, then “Lord of the
Isle of Wight,” (now Gardener’s Island,)
nearly two hundred years ago, by tho last
Indian missionary in the Massachusetts
colony, and Is held by the owner as be
yond price. The Menzies copy which now
goes to Providence, R. 1., where there
are already two—one in John Carter
Brown’s librury, and one In the library of
Brown University—was a duplicate from
the Bodleian Library at Oxford, and was
brought here in 1862, lor sale at SI,OOO. It
was bought by Mr. Bruce, and in 1868 was
sold to Joseph Sabin, who purchased It
for Mr. Rice’s library In Chicago, at a cost
of $1,150. Discovering that the book wan
ted the table of contents, Mr. Rice, after
much trouble, succeeded in purchasing
for a large amount, the missing leaf,
and this mado bis copy perfect. In 1870,
Mr. Rice sent his collection to Sabin for
sale, and the Elliott Bible was bougt by
Mr. Boulton, for one thousand and fifty
dollars. He afterward sold it to Sabin,
who, in turn, sold It to Mr. Menzies. It is
now absolutely perfect throughout, and
is a genuine first edition from the title
page to the colophon. The binding,
which was done by Bedford, is a magnifi
cent specimen of this artist’s work.
There are but two persons in the world
who can receive any spiritual benefit
from the, study of this rare work, name
ly, Col. J. Hammond Trumbull of Connec
ticut, and Professor S. S. Haldoman of
Pennsylvania; and even they must ex
perience a feeling of groat distrust In their
ability to grapple with some of its hen
deoasyllables. Tho longest word in the

prize nos.
lr.au lull Correspondence New York Timer.:
Of the fatr sex little can l>e said In their
praise, although there were plenty of sfe
clmona to judge from. They wore light
colored tunics, with two or three aprons
above,and short fur-trimmed jackets, em
broldcred in blue or scarlet, according to
their religion. Some of the older ones had
on long cloth pelisses, open in front over
linen trousers reaching to the ankles, with
slippers or boots of colored leather, and
among the poorer classes theOpanka san
dal.
The usual coiffure was a scarlet skull
cap, wound around with plates of their
own hair Interwoven with small coins, but
some few had on folds of linen with a flow
er coquetlshly stuck on one side, after the
maiiner of the peasantry of the Abruzzl.
The Mussulman women were dressed
much like their co-religionists of Southern
Turkey, except that the unmarried girls
wear no veils. This is a peculiarly Bos
nian prerogative of the fair sex. which
possesses another unknown, elsewhere in
Islam, to-wit: The right to choose its
husbands and to converse freely from
their casements with any gallant who
may wish to indulge In gossip or flirta
tion. Nor does this unorthodox license,
denounced by strict Mohammedans as an
abomination in the sight of Allah, appear
to be attended by any evil results. Mar
riage Is the consequence of Inclination,
not of family arrangement, but once by
the hymenial knot tied, the veiling be
comes more rigorous than in the other
provinces of the empire. At Constantino
ple, and in BoumeUa, the diaphanous
gahsmak, at least, leaves the eyes and
forehead bare; in Arabia, Hyria and
Egypt, among strict observers of the Ko
ran, a horse hair mask Is added, which
entirely conceals the brow, but here every
matron must wear two handkerchiefs, one
over the chin, mouth and nose, the other
superpoeed and attached to the head
dress, with only a narrow line of light be
tween them, through which she can see
what Is on the ground in front of her feet,
so that, If she would glance at the person
with whom she is conversing, she must
throw her head backward, and stand, as
It were, entirely upon her heels.
Naturally, these dingy bundles of old
clothes are as spiteful and decorous as
their ynunger sisters are the opposite,
for it must be confessed that the Bania
luka damsels are not a bit shy, and stand
being looked at with much complacency.
I failed, however, to discover any beauty
among them, at least according to our
standard, which is different from that of
the Turks, with whom immense
“embonpoint” united to extreme youth
Is the groatest of ail attractions. Conse
quently, the first care of the Bosnian
mother is to prepare her daughter for the
hymenial market, nor does sho think she
has fulfilled her duty until, by the priva
tion of all exercise, by repeated baths,
and a very nourishing faranacious diet of
a prize pig. Many certainly had most
dazzling complexions, but this is not as

made of cosmetics by all classes and re
ligions in the East. Among It lie dwellers
in the plains, dark hair and eyes are
common; among the mountaineers, blue
eyes and auburn or flaxen hair are gener

stained with henna, which gives them
the appearance of having dabbled in tar
water, although to the poetic ntind it
should be an attraction, as it is supposed
to be a souvenir of the rainbow-tinted
wings worn by our Mother Eve—accord
ing to Moslem tradition—before she was
driven from Paradise.

A few years ago “August Flower” was
discovered to be a certain cure for dys
pepsia and liver complaint. A few thin
dyspeptics made known to their friends
how easily had been cured by its use.
The great merits of Green’s August
Flower, became heralded through the
country by one sufferer to another, until,
without advertising, its sale has become
immense. Druggists in every town in the
United States are selling it. No person
suffering with sour stomach, sick head
ache, costiveness, palpitation of the
heart, indigestion, low spirits, etc., can
take three doses without relief. Go to
your druggists Dr. Gilbert <fc Thornton,
and get a bottle for 75 cents and try it.

New York Letter ft ChinqfS Yflbnuc j
There is a young man and his name
Is Joseph. His other name is Ku
chenback, which is neither elegant
nor euphonious. Joseph Is sixty
yeursold, a husband of a second wife
ami fai her of a numerous family. In
this respect hediftered from the orig
inal Joseph, but in another respeet
ho resembles him. In a word, he
was beguiled and tempted, and, al
though young Joseph was innocent,
he bad strength enough to resist his
Mrs. Potiphar; but when old Joseph
was tempted he yielded, and Mrs.
Potiphar was happv. Her other
name is Dtilong, and she is a French
woman. Joseph left his own abode
and took up his resldenoe with the
other, and, as a change of cli
mate was necessary for his health,
he removed to Elizabeth,New Jersey.
There he Introduced Duiong as his
wife, and even insured his life for her
benefit. After six months he tired of
her—did this Joseph—and left her.
Then her French blood rose up and
cried for vengeance, and she haa him
arrested for desertion. When the
case was called, and the Justice had
heard the facts of the unlawful co
habitation, he suggested marriage as
a reparation; but Joseph stopped
him by exclaiming: “My God, Judge,
would you have me marry a woman
who has seduced mo ?” That sound
ed nicely for an already married man,
and now Joseph is lingering in jail
awaiting trial for a stronger cnarge
arising out of his abandonment of
his lawful wife and children—another
monument of masculine depravity.

On Thursday last, three aristocrat

car, and two of them began a con

election. Soft words soon grew into
loud and acrimonious controversy, in

chain, and offered to bet them against
one hundred and fifty dollars that
Hayes was elected. The money was
at once produced by the other’ and
the third young lady pocketed the
money as stakeholder. Then the car
was slopped, and the three beauties,
two with flushed faces, tripped grace
fully away.

party to go on with the iniquitous
scheme.
