There being no outrages to chroni¬
cle in the South just now, the New
Lnglaud papers have plenty of room
to devote to the little affair that oc
cnrreJ at Sundistleld, Mass , a few
days ago, when a lady was dragged
from her home, dangerously beaten
and kicked aud tarred aud feathered
by a mob of ruffians The grave
charge against her was talking too
mneh. l rm The Southern ,1 papers might . .
mako this a political outrage, as the

LATER.
Readers will draw their own concl i-
sinus fruin the long and carefully word¬
ed telegrams about the cond!i<>n of
the President. It will be secq that
another cjieratiou, opening a uew
channel for the escape of the pus from
tbe wound was perform.don Monday,
showing a mistake in the impression
that the discharge has hitherto been
sufficient. The extremely labored and
cautious bulletins of the surgeons are
not as giatifynig as we could wish.
We are impressed wiih the idea that
President is threaten.d with a slow
malarial fever, of which the White
House Ls reported as the iecent scene
of faevi-u or eight cases; and the safest
course will be to put him on a steamer
and move hint down the Chesapeake
even atconsideiablu ri.-k and inconven¬
ience. Gen. Garfield is not mending
ns rapidly as he ought to he, and a
main reason is the air of the White
House .—Telegraph and Messenger.
The Artesian Well a Success
Capt, John 1*. Eon’s nrtesiau well
experiment, on Ins plantation near
Duckt r Station, is prouounced ti
success. Believing that such will be of
interest to our rcadeis, we will give a
full disoriptiou of the wi ll, from tlie
Macon Tetetjniph, in our next. We
hope our people will not consider it an
■ xtruvagant notion on our part in sug¬
gesting that an artesian well be sunk
in Arlington. It is nut an impossi¬
bility. We dare say, if some entor-
pi bing eitiz. n would take the matter
ter in hand, there would not be a eili
zen who would not become deeply
interested, and readily contribute lib¬
erally; even those living in the coun¬
try would give something Just to get
a drink of pmre cold water when they
come to town. Think what u biasing
it, wonhi be. There would bo enough
.mi Hth«o si
of chills ox feaver. lu one sense of
the word it would be “the water of
life’’ to Arliligtonites. It can le had
if we but go to work in the right way.
The cost is uot so great ns some might
suppose it wuuld lie. Let some one
lake hold. ‘Where there’s a will there’s
a way.’
The Appropriation-
In the appropriation of $10,000 by
the State of Georgia as an aid to the
Cotton exposition we feel that tlie
voice of tlie people h is been ignored
and the represent!vos huliio/.ed into
allegiance with de*iging speculators.
It seeuieth to me an equally peculiar
ecouomy to ask alms of the poor to
support the rich or to require the
musses or producers to "pay a
pro-rata share of an appropriation
which materially benefits that class of
raeu, whose influence regulates the
price of cotton to their own advantage.
“The plau of redemption’’ by an ap¬
propriation is an unjust extortion from
tho purses of the impoverished masses,
and speaks hut little towards the pa¬
triotism of our law givers.
The Double Flow.
A party of geutlemeu were discus -
sing the effects of the drought when
Mr. Samuel Charters gave his experi
euce. Says he, I have been using the
double Flow for the last two years and
find that it is precisely the idea.’ He
says where he broke his laud with this
plow that tho corn and cotton was
nearly twice ns good; that it has stood
the drought ull the way through and
now bios only little signs of dry weath¬
er, while that just beside it and not
broken well iu the spring has suffered
badly. This must certainly be the
idea for the farmers of this country;
for it seem* that every year we are vis
ited with a terible drought iu the sura
mer. We think it is well to have such
experience, too much on the sabject
could not be given.— Dublin Gazette.
A case of fraud has been unearthed
in Topeka, Kansas, where a shrewd ad-
venturer, Louis N. Koreh, took advan-

It was our good fortune this week
to witness a strange freak of nature
iu the person of n negro child about six
or seven years old, having one side of
its face as pure white as any of the
Caucasian race—so purely sj as to be
freckled. ‘The out lines of the mark,’
for so the mother calls it, begins about
mid way the forehead and runs down
between the eyes and along the bridge
of the nose right across the lips to the
chin or uearly so, then rounding on
the right cheek, passing right across
the eye, reaches starting point iu the
center of the forehead. The balance
of the faeo is copper colored. The
