The M tree to Yesterday.
Everybody In this whole country has
been in a terrible "muddle" for several
weeks past; but for deep down, tight,
sticking and far-reaching mud, the streets
of this city yesterday could not be beaten.
The town was soft from one end to the
other, and nothing but mud, mud. mud,
presented Itself to the understanding of
pedestrians, and luckiest was he who bad
the lower section of his person Incased In
the thickest boots. Wo tried, while about
on other business, to pick up a few Items
for our readers this morning, but If thero
wore any on the streets they wore stuck
too deeply and too firmly In themud to be
reached by anything shorter than a pair
of oyster tongs, and these we didn't have.
We have a good sized "claw-hammer”
convenient for drawing Items out of hard
surfaces, but have not provided ourselves
with the tongs for the deep work of the
enterprising reporter. Perhaps, by the
next flood—of mud—we may be prepared
to do something with the mysteries of the
lower strata. In the meantime let all who
want blessings ask for a slight, If nothing
more, drying of the streets and roads.
A Fearful Accident,
Tom Moore, a colored oarpenter, em
ployed at the new factory, at about U‘/,
o'clock on yesterday happened to a very
serious if not fatal accident. He, with
several of his fellow workmen had just
finished nailing the window stays tyihe
girders of southeast corner of tho build
ing, when ho stepped upon the planks
that crossed from beam to beam; when he
had reached the middle of the plank,
which being an Inch plank and cross
grained at that, It broke lntwo. precipita
ting him headlong through the Interven
ing stories, upon the ground below. In
the descent his faco struck a wooden
horse that lay projecting from the second
Btory and also a throe Inch timber lying
on the last floor. Being immediately
taken into the carpenter shop, Dr. Ool
zoy attended him, bandaging his arms
which were both broken near tho wrists.
His face was greatly bruised having two
large gashes, one In the forehead, the
other on the check; his back also subject
ed him to Intense pain.
It is wonderful that such a fall did not
bring Immediate death, as it Is, ho cannot
speak and is scarcely able to move a
limb. Just before the accident happened
one of tho men working with him warned
him to be very careful, and not to step
carelessly upon the thin boards, but just
as fate will have its, the warning was un
heeded and one of the board snapped be
- him. This Is the second accident
of the kind that has happened during the
building process of the new factory. The
first one hurt hasn’t recovered yet, and
this one bids fair never to regain the use
of his hands, even if he survives, of which
there la much fear to the contrary.

Columbus Surd In U. S. Court.
We understand Mr. Hunter, of Savan
nah, has brought suit in the United
States Court against Columbus for the
amount of past due bonds unpaid. It 1b
said our Finance Committee offered to
give him Savannah bonds In exchange, but
he declined the trade, showing that past
due Columbus bonds are better than ma
turing Savannah bonds. Mr. Hunter,
however, proposed to settle if reembursed
the oost of the bonds, some 86 or 88 cents
porhaps in the dollar. Wo hope the mat
ter will be settled at once, for the United
States Court is sharp and decisive in
action and very expensive cost.

Huinac Kommenly) "Sims Make.”
Do our readers know the value of the
little bush or shrub, that grows In almost
every fenoe corner and on every neglected
spot of tho averago plantation, popularly
called "shoe make”? When properly
saved, It Is as much In demand In the
groat markets of the country as any other
commodity used in tanning, and always
commands a geod price. We don’t sup
pose there are in all this section more
than a dozen men who ever saved or used
It, and therefore we publish the following,
giving the time for gathering the leaves
and the mannor of preparing them for
market This work, it undertaken, will
give employment to hundreds of women
and children, and every dollar realized
from It may be oountod as a dollar made.
Our own people oouid utilize hundreds of
bales'Bf It If they would embark in the
business of tanning the hides and skins
that are now sold and sent off, to be con
verted Into leather, and are then re
bought at an advance of five hundred per
cent, or more:
Virginia stands at the head of all the
States In producing sumac, and owing to
the care taken here In selecting and grind
ing, Its quality Is unsurpassed. Tho towns
famous for the sumac trade are Lynch
burg, Richmond, Fredericksburg, Alexan
dria and Winchester.
The season for picking sumac com
mences the first of July and ends the lost
of September, or by the first frost—for
frost turns tho leaf red, and then It Is
worthless. Tho stems, except the loaf
stems, have no strength and should not
be gathered. They are full of pith, and
if ground they only absorb the strength
of the leaf and deproclate the value of
the article.
Sumac should be gathered in this way;
Break off the parts of the bush contain
ing the leaves, but do not gather tho
blossoms or berries. Some allow the
leaves to wilt a few hours In the sun,
while others convey thorn Immediately
Into the shade or under cover. Cure It
under shelter, to preserve Its color and
strength; when It is dry, put It in bulk;
and when dry and windy days set In,
spread It out In beds, as wheat or oats,
on a clean plank fioor. Then thresh It
with a fiatl, when tho leaves and Btems
will break up fine: then rake out tha
large stems and throw them away. In
drying before threshing, it should be
frequently thrown over with a pitchfork
to let the air get to every part of it.
Remember to take out all tne sticks,
stems and berries; the strength lies in
the leaf nnd leaf stems.
The grinders of sumac are obliged to
have ample storage room, os they pur
chase their supply for a year’s grinding
In the months of July, August and Sep
tember. Care must be taken to have It
thoroughly dry before packing, to avoid
spontaneous combustion. Good ventila
tion should always be secured after It
has been packed.
Mining.
The following mining items are cut
from the New York HeraUl. It will grati
fy Georgia miners to note the prominence
given the fact that they are satisfied to
own and work Georgia mines themselves,
and that they are able to operate them
without outside help:
MINING NEWS.
Interest in the development of mining
properties Is not now confined entirely to
the West. The establishment of a mining
board in New York and the work that has
recently been done In opening mines nour
us have attracted uuusual attention.
Hence the value of the information, which
collated from various sources, will be
found below:
SOUTHERN MINES.
Professor Emmes, formerly the State
Geologist of Minnesota, is at work on the
property of the Granville Gold Company,
in North Carolina, where he promises to
show paying ore within a few feet of tho
surface. The main shaft is being sunk
between parallel veins within a few fa
thoms of each other and extending nearly
2,000 feet either way from the base of
operations. We have no recent official
reports from the King’s Mountain mine,
iu the same State, but private letters in
dicate continued success. (In Georgiu
and South Caroline free gold is
fbund In renumorative quantities iu
the placer as well as the quartz
mines, but inasmuch as the Geor
gians are not seeking pecuniary aid from
the moneyed centres they publish no ac
count, preferring, apparently, to bo "let
alone.'’) It Is now uncertain whether the
great hydraulic mine in Virginia, known
as the Bertha, will succeed in making a
clean up earlier than February, the recent
"cold waye" having frozen the water be
fore a full twenty-four hours’ run had
been made. Last winter, had the miue
been in its present state of development,
work could have been prosecuted without
an hour’s interruption. Sueoess such as
practical miners predict for this mine will
cause a general washing of the hillsides
and ravines along the Southern gold belt
and will bring into our murket a class of
near-by mines that may displaoe the
more distant properties of the West. Min
ing interests are really improving here,
but Inasmuch as only the piudeut ana
wary havo much capital to invest, the
preference is given to mines that may be
conveniently visited. And apropos of
this fact some of our Virginia and North
Carolina friends announce their intention
to arrange in the early spring for the sale
of excursion tickets to their mines, so that
even moderate investors may make a per
sonal inspection and at an inconsiderable
outlay.
A City of Lunatics,
The town of Ghee], in the province of
Antwerp, has been for centuries an abode
of madmen. There are 11,000 inhabi
tants in the place, and they have charge
oi l ,300 lunatics from abroad, who are
among the families, and are treated with
great consideration. The children from
youth arc familiarized with tho business,
and all the people know how to manage
those committed to their charge. One
of the greatest social punishments that
can be inflicted on a family is to declare
that it is unfit to receive such boarders.
The lunatics are disposed of among the
inhabitants according to their wealth or
stations, the better families receiving the
wealthier patients. The cures average
it is said, from 60 to 75 to the hundred.
Qhcel is divided into four districts, each
with its overseer and physician. Large
sums of money are spent in the place by
the patients, and families generally are
desirious of having one or more lunatics
ou their hands.

Plnchback’s speech.
On Saturday last Pinchback, one
of the main leaders of tho Republi
can party in Louisiana, made the fol
lowing speech to the Nicholls Sen
ate, the occasion being the adhesion
of four Republican Senators to that
body:
Mr. President and gentlemen of the
Senate of the State of Louisiana—l
am not unmindful of the responsibil
ity wnich attaches to the action of
myself and the gentlemen who have
entered your body to-day, and I beg
to assure you, and to assure the good
people of Louisiana, white and black,
that we have not acted precipitately.
Wo have carefully measured all of
the grouud; we have, after mature
and deliberate consideration, made
up our minds that this was the right
ful thing to do, and we have done it,
and like Richard 111, we have cast
our die and wo intend to stand the
hazard. You all know me. Nearly
every mau iu the Slate of Louisiana,
white and black, knows me; iu every
hamlet and every corner of this
State I am known to the people,
white end black, and all of you know
that I am a Republican, and that I
have come here to this Senate, the
Democratic Senate, as a Republican.
[Applause.] I place my party very
high. I believe the party obligation
is a sacred obligation, but I believe
the interests of ther State and the
welfare of the people are above
party.
I am familiar with the workings of
the Republican party from its inau
guration down to this day, and I say
without hesitation that for corrup
tion and venality, and for dishonesty
it has no equal anywhere on the face
of God’s green earth. [Applause.]
I say here, and I will prove it to the
people of the United States, that
from centre to circumference, there
is notan honest drop of blood in it,
and I sav as a supporter of Ruther
ford 15. Hayes, Republican candidate
for the Presidency of the United
States, that if he be inaugurated on
the 4th of March next, he canQot af
ford to soil national administration
with this blight upon the prosperity
of the people. [Applause.]
Mr. Pinchback continued in the same
strain,and said it was evident that the
Louisiana Radicals intended to carry on
the old regime, with no promise ol refor
mation ; that there were rings in the pre
tended House of Representatives at the Bt.
Louis Hotel, demanding a price for every
vote.
He called upon the Senators just sworn
in, and upon every honest man in the
Radical party, to come forward and tell
the world of these things and testify to
the truth ol his assertions. He declared
that Kellogg had secured his election by
using his executive power in the appoint
ments, front the Supreme Court down to
the police jury, and that a bribe of $950
apiece had been given to members to vote
for him for the long term of the Senate
He said that he did not b lieve that Pres
ident Grant, with a full knowledge of;the
corruption of bis party, would sustain
this monstrous, corrupt and iniquitous in
stitution.
In the latter part of his speech Mr.
Pinchback said that he hoped the colored
men would be treated by the whites with
the same cordiality and friendship as
people of other races, and, concluding, he
said:
“If you do this, we have before us, per
haps, the grandest future of any State in
this Union of States, and I have no doubt
but that the glorious example inaugurat
ed here to-day will spread over the States
that constituted the late Confederate
States.”
Commodore Vanderbilt was no
speech-maker. When his health
was proposed at a banquet iu|London
he said : “Gentlemen, I have never
made a fool of myself in my life,
and I am not going to begin now.
Here is a friend of mine (his lawyer:)
he can talk all day.”

Tonic, and Mandrake Pill*.
These deservedly celebrated and popu
lar Medicines have effected a revolution
In the healing art, and proved the fallacy
of several maxims which have for many
years obstructed the progress of medical
science. The false supposition that “Con
sumption Is incurable” deterred physi
cians from attempting to find remedies
for that disease, and patients afflicted
with It reconciled themselves to death
without making an effort to escape from
a doom which they supposed to be una
voidable. It is now proved, however, that
Consumption can be cured, and that It has
been cured In a very great number of
cases (some of them apparently desperate
ones) by Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone;
and in other cases by the same medicine
in connection with Schenck’s Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pilis, one or both,
according to the requirements of the
case.
Dr. Schenek himself who enjoyed unin
terrupted good health for more than forty
years, was supposed at one time to be at
the very gate of death, his physicians
having pronounced his case hopeless, and
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid Medicines, and, since his
recovery many thousands similarly af
fected have used Dr. Bchenck’s prepara
tions with the same remarkable success.
Full nirectlons accompany each, mak
ing It not absolutely necessary to person
ally see Dr. Scbenck unless patients with
their lungs examined, and for this pur
pose he is professionally at his principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch streets. Phil

Two Chicago ladies became greatly
agitated the other noon over the prospec
tive results of the election.
“I’ll bet Hayes is elected,” said one of
them.
“And I’ll bet Tilden is,” said the other;
“I’ll bet my watch and chain against SIOO
that he is.”
•Til take that bet,” said the other lady
promptly.
“Put the bets up in my bands,” remark
ed a third young lady, standing near.
“All right," cried the two, and into her
hands went the stakes.
That same afternoon the yonng lady
bolding the forfeits put on the watch and
chain, and prancing down town, glided
around until she hau spent $lO of the mon
ey for gloves, SSO for a cloak, sls for a
hat, and $25 for anew kind of bustle and
other things.
And now she is waiting for the official
returns, when she will decide that both of
the betters have lost the watch and chain,
and that she is entitled to the SIOO as a
recompense for the trouble. — Chicago
Journal.
