TIIE ADVANCE ARLINGTON. GA. FRIDAY. JUNE 16, 1882. Kentuckey’s Sensation- Persons Dying in Hart County Without Illnei s Or Disease About three weeks ago A/r. William Downey, of Blackwell’s Piecinct, died in s very singular manner. TTis strength began failiegon Wednes¬ day without apparent cause, his flesh fell away with alarming rapidity and by Monday following he has absolute ly dwindled away without having felt sick or anfferei the slightest pain or indisposition. When placed on his death lied, a few hours before he died, he was laughing and talking, and de~ dared he never felt better in hia life, fiuob a singular und nuacconutahle death naturally created considerable surprise and wonder in the neighbor¬ hood where it happened. But these were increased to conster¬ nation when, in a few daya after Mr. Downey's death, his daughter, Miss Hallie, who is about 22 years of age, was taken exactly as her father wa«, and without suffering the slightest pain or sickness has grown weaker and tbiuner each day, till she is a skeleton of her former self, at our last account she was lying speechless upon wbat has doubtless proved her dueth- bed ere this. The physicians are completely non¬ plussed, aud are unable to form the slightest idea as to the cause or nature of their very strange nmladuy, and, mystery, the sickbed of the young lady has bam const .ntiy attended by strange and unnatural nois -s—some¬ times seeming like the roar of a plan ing mill tjieu like a sewing machine, and again like many other tlnh,'s, continually changing, but lmrdly ev-r ceasing. It has thrown the whole neighborhood into a fever of ixcite- meut, and scores of persons have vis¬ ited the bouse where the young lady fs sick and ure able to testify to the above fact*.— Ex. Lincoln Tunred to Stone. Tbo attempt to steal the remains of Mr. Lmcoln about three years since is remembered by almost every one. Ever since then the public, in fact ev- ryhody, save a half dozen persons or •o, iutimately, connected with the Lincoln Monument Association sup¬ posed Mr. Lincoln's remains were eu closed in the marble sarcophagus which stands in the vestibule leading to the crypts, where other members of the family are entombed. This is not so, ns your correspondent learned to\ day for the f.’rct time. All that re¬ mains of »lr. Lincoln has been buiied in tho ground, under some portion of the immense granite pile forming hi* monument, ever since tho attempted robbery, and are now iu a complete state of petrification. This startling statement is from one who knows, and will be nows to all but a very few per¬ sons, as it was understood at the time that the embnlmer's work at Wushs ington immediately after the death of Mr. Lincoln was not a success, but a buugle. Soon after the remains were entombed at this city, in 1865 66, it was said that they wero in a bad state of decomposition, and that the ern- balm ing was not working. This seem8 to have been an error, ns there is no donbt but that the statement that his remains have turned into stone is true,— Springfield (Til) Special to St. Lems Republican A Rhyming Governor. A newspaper man, commenting on the apt quotations of Governor Long, of Massachusetts, iu his proolamati <ns, last fsll from one of Whitter’s poems and this spring from the scriptures, recalls an official communication iu origiral rhyme made by Jonathan Jen ninge, the first governor of Iodiana, which is perhaps the only thing of tbs kiud on record. Indiana wanted some guns and ammunition, and the gover¬ nor sent the following to John O. Cal¬ houn, then secretary of war: Dear John C.. I send to thee For three great guns aud trimmings, Pray send them to band, Or yon‘fl be damned, By order of Jonathan Jennings. Governor of Indiana.

AVarly a year ago a gentleman died in affluent circumstances at Kirkwood and left a child ess widow. The bns- baud, who never enjoy*-1 the prond distictiou of being called a father, lav- ished bis surplus affections on a fine shepherd dog by the name of Fash. Ibis canine was provided for in his master S will by the setting aside of a ceitam house aorf lot,the monthly rent fiom which was to he appropriated to‘DashV sole benefit during his nut- urn! life. In this way the dog's days were comfortably provided for, and the gentleman’s wife w*s named as ‘Dash’s’ guardian. Shortly after her husband‘a death the lady.weut to New York to assuage her grief, but she didn't take the dog along. Iu her absence Dash wus taken very sick, aud a telegram informed her of the animal's affliction. True to the last will aud testament of her late husband she telegraphed to employ the most eminent physicians for the faithful servant. In a few day* wires informed her ‘Dash’ was dead. She admitted of so delay, but immediately start ed for 8t. Louis lo conduct the ob- sequme and again act the chief mourn¬ er. Ariiviug here, a costly coffln was provided and a hearse conveyed ‘Dash's* remain* to ftik Itidge Ceme tery. At tout place they were inter¬ red with due solemnity at Ilia feet of his dead master in the presence of the widow, now in mourning for him. A 8300 monmeut suitably inscribed, stands at the head of the husband's grave, while a lass pre¬ tentious one costing §150, rest* at his feet to mark the place where Dash lies. — St.Louis Qlobe Democrat. Soaking Against Smut- Mo-t good furmcr* have reported their experience in favor of soaking seed corn in weak brine before plant ing, a* a preventative of bmut, though not always with the sanction of what arc known as advanced agricultural¬ ists. They have not b*eu uble to un¬ derstand how anything that can be done to a seed will have any effect on what is to happen to tbo grain that is produced months afterwards. How¬ ever, those farmers who have tried it have adhered to the practice, and we suppose there is nothing more certain than that these brine steeps do pre¬ vent the smut. Latterly, however, Professor Brewer, of Yale college, not only admits that it is good prac¬ tice, bnt shows ns the process by which the smut progresses from its first es¬ tablishment on tho giaiu to its final maturity in the head or ear. It ap¬ pears that the seeds or spores of the fungus adhere by a stickey coat to the grain. As soon ns the grain sprouts, the fnngas spore sprouts also, and semis its filaments into the plant,grow¬ ing ns the plant grows, and to grow until the grain is about to produce itself, when tho fungus is also ready to reproduce itself, which it does in the form of smut as we it; the smut being a nest of spores ready fbr reproduction, The is made very clear. We see how brine is ussfnl. It destroys the fun¬ gus spores, but not the grain, At times the damnge done by smut is very serious — Germantown Tele¬ graph. Four Years of Gayety. Every year a number of young stray aside from paths of rectitude »ud entor what seems to them a life of ease and gayety. To lire without work or responsibility is to some na¬ tures the great object of life, and there is but one way iu which women can do it. One such died forty-eight hoursago, having first been turned out of a house to the patrons of which she was no longer attractive. Of eourse she had no money, no home, no friends, snch women never have, although hun¬ dreds of men hare offered them ardent adoration Dastitate and dying, her only possible bod a noisome floor in a police station or a cleaner but colder doorstep, her thoughts turned back¬ ward and she staggered to the par¬ sonage of a church, and as she beg¬ ged the prayers of the pastor she found herself in the very reom where, four years before, a happy, handsome girl, she had married an honest working man. A few boms later she expired in an asylum, and yeoterday her funeral expenses were defrayed by money collected at a mission for disso- lute women and thieves. She had enjoyed as gay a life and for as Iou- a time as mostwomau of her class, and her wretched and pitiful end was not as miserable as many others have , ' uS9r&L Aside from all tions of morality and honor a gay life does not seem to be worth its price. — New Fork Herald. The Modern Boy. Hi* loving mother said: ‘If you take some of the castor oil, I‘11 let you go to the circns.’, ‘How much?' he cautiously inquir ed. ‘Oil only a spoonful—just a spoon- ful.‘ ‘And you‘11 give mo some sugar be- rides)* ‘Of course I will, a big lump * He waited till she began pouriug from the bottle, and then asked: 'And you will give me ten cents, too? 1 ‘Yes, of coarse. 1 ‘And you will buy me a shoo-fly kite?* he went on, seeing his advan t«ge. ‘I guess so ‘ ‘No kite, no ilel he s*id as he step- ed back. ‘Well, I* 11 buy you a kite, 1 she said, filling up the spoon. ‘And a velocipede?* ‘Ill think of it. 4 ‘You cant think—no oil down me! he exclaimed, looking around for his hat. ‘Here, I will tease father to: and I know he will. Come now, swallow it down.' ‘And you’ll buy me a goat.* ‘Yes* 'Aod a coach dog?’ ‘I canDot promise that?* ‘AH right no dog no ile.‘ ‘Well, 1*11 ask your father.* ‘And you‘11 buy mo two hundred marbles?' ‘Yes, now fake it down.* ‘And a pony?' ‘Ob! I couldn’t do that. Now be a good boy and swallow it down.* ‘Oh, yes, I ll swallow that stuff, I will!’ he said,as he clapped on bis hat. ‘You may fool some other boy with a circus ticket and a lump of brown giigar, but it‘11 take hundred-dollar pony to trot that iledown my throat!* For the Benefit of the Heartless. If a woman once errs, kick her down, Kick her down; If misfortune is hers, Kick her down. . Though her tears fall like rain, Aud she never smiles again, Kick her down. If a man breaks her heart, • Kick her down. Redouble the smart, Kick her down. Aud if low her condition, On, on to perdition, Kick her down. Aye! pass her by on the other side; speak no word of ei conragement to her; measure not her fall by her tem¬ perament or her temptation, but by frigidity of your own unsolicited Pharisaical heart. Leave no door of escape open; close your homes and your hearts; crush every human feel ing in her soul; teach her that the Bitile and religion are fables; check tbo repentant prayer on her Magda- line lips; thrust her back npoa cruel tender mercies of those who re joice at her fall, send her forth with her branded beauty, like a blight aud a mildew; stand aside, for thou art holier—holier than the Sinless, whose feet were batued with her tears and wiped with the hairs of her head. Cast the first stone at her, ah, thou whited sepulchre, though those lips could say: ‘Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and sin no more, ’—Select- ed. Whales at Tybee. Two young whales, measuring fourteen feet, according to the Savan¬ nah Recorder, came up in high tide on the island of Tybee, in some sluice- way. The tide receded, leaving them there. One of them, in its efforts to get back seaward, wounded itself so that it died. The other v 6ne, which wus alive, though apparently in great distress, was comfortably provided for. They proceeded to dig a sluice of suf¬ ficient depth to admit a necessary supply of water to keep It alive, and will probably provide sustenance in the shape of fish until it can be effect¬ ually secured and transferred to a re¬ ceptacle or canal that will be dug next to tbe Ocean Honse. The moth¬ er of these piscatorial cubs is in the greatest trouble immsginable, as she is in sight of the beach in deep water, bellowing and throwing np the saline fluid frantically, in despair for the loss of her young. No doubt tbe capture of the old lady will he accomplished as soon as a knowledge of her presence in shore is obtained by the whaling schooners now off ihe coasts, provided she does not make a simular attempt at inland navigation, while the spring tido prevails.
