far we; were right 1 am sure—bo one day
wc donned our very best apparel, which
we were in a ally certain they would con
sider a ibou-ai d yeais hi bind the timtB,
and with inward .quaking, we went.
In half an Inrnr the uuiiful debt was
paid, and we still lived. We came away
hi d gaihend ouiselves together for a con-
f.il'-ntial chal, having laid aside aa much
11 the uuusal feeling of awe aa w*a possi

the gie-at Mr* 8 aud the great Miss
8- — belonging to the great publishing
house of New York, were much like other
people; perhaps a little more ttupio and a
lilt.c Stiller, but certainly noldi Bering ma

before whom we bad feel no awe. ,, it was
the great publiatiing bocse that killeel us,
We certainly had not been used lo that.
After a tew day- we began lay mg plans
as to the manner in which we should
ci ive Ibe return call; I maturing up smart
things to talk about; planning our toilets,
and the artistic anangemenl ol our separ

tat on my piazA in our mcsi ordinary

sevens—one always is, you know, with so
many cbildr. n a haul:—Mamma bad gone
into Augusta that morning, and left a per
fectly new and very green house gill whom
I aa yet had not se< n, so when Anna and
1 looked up and beheld Ibe great Mrs, S—
and tbe gnat Miss 8— beading straight

My friend A. n.Jreachtroutly slipped ool

Weil, I thought by wsy of consolation, 1

is certainly in better condition than the

There has been a queer animal caught

The story is an interesting one, a iff was
published in tbe Toccoa News as follows:
The people o( this vicini'y are very much

thought best to leave very shot ly. I am

As wc descended the steps, those dread-
Inl dogs were called after a rabbit by
some nial.ciousyoniif.sler, which call they
appreciated far more than tbey did the
great publishing bouse of New York, and
having fear of neither man nor woman be
fore tb< ir eyes, they dashed again-t Mrs.

considering the report altogi ther reason-,
ble, we, witu several persons, hastily made
our way to the spot to fully ruvestigate the
monster. On arriving at tbe place we
found,—tbougli there b.d been some slight
deviations from the truth,—that the essen
tials of the report were It ue. Quite a crowd
hat gathered at the spot to view the mon

instead of 40, which hai b<en reported.
The animal seemed to beslunned by being

land.
The animal’s head is larger in proportion
thau its t>ody, and somewhat resembles an
aligstoi; but iis bead is much broader. For
several hours its jaws would autom
atically open and close with a vicious snap
which made the col I chill- creep over the
spectators. A pole as large as s mania leg
beiDg put in his mouth, was instantly
snapped into flinders, and on b ing ex
amined gradually tamed black. Tue green
froth from the monsters mouth turned flint
rock* to a bright scarlet color, and caused
them to smoke with s smell ream tiling sul
phur. The body of the monster resembled
a rattlesnake, except a row of large Has
which extended from its neck to within
15 ii.ches of its tail, and a row of short legs
ot paddles ou either aide of its belly. Its
tail was in tbe *ba(£ of a rams • horn and
equally aa hard. After lolly examining
tue monster a Winchester r.fle being on
band, a 48 cal.ble ball was planted between
its eyes, which glanced off the same as it

eye. Tue moment the ball struck it, it

D. C—May 16—
Special. —Mr. Har
rison’s fool rmlt
put nil Washing
ton into an amus
ed titter today.
Tin y decided sev
eral days ago that
it would not do to
announce tbe hour
of the arrival of the n-y a y tq upped spe
cial train bearing Benjamin, tbe candidate,
because forsooth, he <u-slr«d to e-cape tbe
crowd tbst would meet him if they knew
when be was coming. If the hour that the
train would arrive bad been announced
for days before in all tbe local newspapers
and had been placarded on all tbe bill
boards and dead walls in town, it is possi
ble that two or three hundred idle negroes
and hoodlums might have congreg tied at
tbe station from'curiosity, but lo suppose
that there would have been a crowd large
enough to worry tbe gentlemen, ills the
most humorous thing of the season, and it
ha* set everybody in town to laughing.
Mr. Blaine’s being confined to bis room
in New York, by illness wa* good enough
for tbe sensational newspapers to gull those
who knew no better; bat it didn't go down
with thos- who knew that Mr Blaine h-ft
Washington because of the irritation caused
by the dictatorial tone of tbe bleu rams
with wiricn Mr. Harrison was flood
ing him, and if be does not resume tbe »c-
tive duties of bis position for somet'me
it will not be on account of b<s braltn, but
because lie wishes to get even with Mr.
Harrison by leaving him in charge of mat
ters over which be is almost certain to
blander.
I have good reason for believing that
Mr. Harrison's treatment ot Mr.' Blainr,
who thinks he hws a gr.evanee, during the
next f< w days will settle bis chances f< r a
renoinination. It is certain that Blaine
doesn’t rare for the nomination, and that
if Mr. Harrison has tbe tact be can have
the Blame strength thrown to him, which
would make his nomination certain; but it
is equally certain that Mr. Harrison will
have to drop the I-only-aut-the-adminis-
tration s’yle, which has so irritated B.aine,
in order to succeed. Tbe outcome will be
watched with interest, and were it not for
the "big head” which the conrtesy extend
ed by the people to tbe high office be fills
has given Mr. Harrison it would not bein
doubt. Blaine bolds tbe winning cards,
and be knows it too.
Representative Hooker, of ‘Mississipi,
thinks the democratic p rty will

ocratic member of tbe Interstate Commerce
board of Commissioners.

the issueing of an address to th< p -ople.
Representative Crain, of Texas, wbo is
here on private business, says the outlook
for tbe election of the democratic candi
date, whoever be may be, next year,
could hardly be brighter. He doesn’t
think there wifi be a Farmers Alliance na
tional ticket n> mim-ted, nor does be think
tnere is the sligbest doubt of tbe election
of bis colleague, Mr. Mills, to tbe Speak
ership of tbe next House.
Keep yon eye on Representative W. L.

man, but be is growing as rapidly a< any

Yesterday about one o’clock tbe bell in

ot Hill street with Prince Avenue.

When they reached there they did good

Tbe buildings being so far out from the

considerable headway before the depart

citizens near by said, Urey did as good
work as any lot ot men coaid do. The

He found tbe animal lying on its back,

Tne horse waa lifted up and placed on

There the driver damped oat the afore
