Return day Wda™ before j p Carried The J oke Too Far. 1 Railroad Conducts Finds Himself in a Tight Place. Albany Advertiser: On Sunday, February 28th, Messrs. J. W. Eddy and Wiley Abbott, two conductors on the Brunswick and Western Railroad, took a room together at the Barnes House. Mr. Abbott, it seems, was Mr. Eddy’s guest, the latter having invited the former to spend the night with him. In the morning Mr. Ab bott missed SBO in money which he had in his pocketbook when he retired. Suspicion rested for a time on Will Scott, a negro porter at the hotel. Capt R. N. Westbrook was sent for, and after investigation became satis fied that the negro was not guilty of the theft At the same time Capt. Westbrook dropped a hint to Mr. Abbott which caused the latter to watch his friend Eddy. In due course of time Abbott became satisfied that .Eddy had his money, and he finally boldly accused him of the theft Eddy at first denied having the money, but Abbott was in earnest, and threatened sever punishment, when Eddy wilted, and acknowledg ing his guilt, returned $65 of the money. He said he had spent the remaining sls, but promised to make it good in a few days. Yesterday Mr. Crine, having learn ed the full particulars of the case, swore out a warrant before Magistrate Gree charging Eddy with the theft, and the latter was arrested upon the arrival of his train yesterday aftei noon Eddy does not deny taking the money, but says that he did it for a joke. It looks like he carried the joke a little too far, however, when it ap pears that he witness .d the arrest of an innocent negro, who was charged with the theft, and then went and spent part of the money. Eddy went to jail hat night in de fault of bond to the amount es S3OO Beyond, Earthly Aid. A Lithe fluid's Arriic-'iin That Baffles Medical Skill- A Youngstown, Ohi’', special says: Eor two years a little daughter of a poor blacksmith has suffered a terri ble affliction which can only end in in her death. The child Hattie Stant ley, is about eight years of age. Her physicians pronounce it a new case, and are utterly unable to deal with it. She is slowly but surely being trans formed into a mummy. In October, 1884, she was attacked with infla matory rheumatism. This left the heart weak, and the blood refused to circulate to her finger tips. A gran grenous condition of these parts fol lowed. The ehild complained of an awful burning in her hands, as if the. fingers had been held over a braeier, For five days she has kept up a con stant screaming and was only quieted by large doses of opium. The left loot was next attacked, and now she complains of the right. The fingers of both hands are black and dry, and are crumbled up under the knuckles. On the back of the hand where the dead flesh joins the living the skin is bi ight red and covered with scabs. One of the joints of the little finger has dropped off, and the thumb and forefinger on the hand have dried together. Until within a few days she could hold a spoon with the thumb and finger of the left hand, but now this power has left her, and the only use of her hand is to raise a cup the fleshy part of her thumb to her lips. By reason of confinement the child's body is greatly reduced. Her face, though strong and bright, is pinched and deformed by suffering. The neighbors believe that she is afflicted with leprosy, and they avoid the house The mother spoke lovingly of her babe. She has nursed her over a year and cared for her tender!?. No wish of Hat.ie that can be granted is denied. Nothing but a mothe's’s care could have prolonged the child’s existence so long. ■«« «. A Boston Romance. A Curious Story That Has s#t Yet its Se quel. [Euston Traveler] In one of the daily papers about a week ago appeared this advertise ment. “Wanted, a lady cultured, refined and educated and of a genial disposi tion. Such a person will find good wages and a pleasant home. Ad dress , Tremont street, 2 o’clock Saturday, p. m.” This was, no doubt, read by a large number of ladies who were looking for some occupation, and a Traveler reporter happened to meet with one of these who answered the advertise ment in person. Calling at the time appointed the door was opened by a gray-haired person, who asked at once: “You want to see the minis ter?” “Well,” replied the lady, “I don’t know anything about the minis ter, but I came in answer to the notice in the paper.” “All right,” was the answer, given in a demure, sanctified tone of voice. “I’m not the man; I’m a doorkeepor in the house of our Lord. Walk in.” “What have I got into now ?” was the inward thought, as the lady entered; but as the door was opened into the parlor and dis played a large number of others on the same errand she gained courage and took her seat at the end of the line, interested to see the affair out There were old, gray-haired, and young ladies, teachers, nurse girls, and chambermaids, all in the uncer tainty of what was required of the unknown who might be refined and educated. Finally seeing an empty chair beside a good, motherly-look ing woman, the lady went up to her and asked: “Do you know what this is?” “Well, no, I don’t. I’ve no idea, and I presume it’s nothing I want, but I thought they might be looking for a nurse in a family, or perhaps some one to travel with an invalid. Now,, I’ve -traveled everywhere with different, people, and so thought I’d come over.” ?«Jl around was a dead for’thu repeated answer in the halj which could be heard to every new-comer, “I’m not the man; I’m a door keeper in the house of our Lord. Walk in.” At last, as the clock in the room struck the hour, the door opened and in walked a tall, elderly gentleman dressed in black, and with a couple of books under his arm. Walking to a table he seated himself, coughed cleared his throat, and gave out a hymn to be sung, then quietly placed his spectacles on the top of his forehead and looked the ladies over, first one and then the other, while they did their best to keep sober enough to sing according to the programme. After this a passage n the Bible was read and the minister ‘rose and offered a prayer, seemingly addressed to the ladies present. And now the business of the afternoon was to commence. The minister again arose and all was attention. He stated that he was a descendant from a Quaker parentage, and the letters which he would read to them about himself would show that he was always known as a man kind, sympathetic and good-hearted, that he gave large sums of money to the poor, that be was a great reader, and possessed a large library, and, having a farm in the South, he wanted to take back with him a wife, and he had 1 taken this way to assemble all these beautiful ladies together, and he was glad so many had replied. He would now dismiss them after they had sung another of Moody's tunes, but he wished every one who was not al ready married to remain nnd he would tell them more about himself, the others could pass out. This ended the first chapter of a romance, and, keeping to the facts of the case, the story will have to go un finished, howewr much we would desire to know the final end, for the young lady who gave the information to the reporter made the mistake of not staying to the after meeting. Forsyth’s Romance. A Pretty Littln'Shiry Having Its Origin in Sherman's March to the Sea. [Atlanta Constitution] Forsyth, Ga., March fl.—Married, at the residence of the bride’s mother, Miss. Dome Goodrum, of this county, and Mr. David T. Rogers, of Logan Kansas, There is a piecejof romance connected with this marriage. Mr. Rogers was in the Union army attach ed to General Sherman’s command, and with him in his march through Georgia, and one night camped near the residence of Mr. J. I. Goodrum, the brother of the bride. On leaving next morning Mr. Rogers left bis knapsack, and in it was a diary w hich he kept on the march, which was found by one of Mr. Goodrum’s chil dren. Some years after the present bride was visiting her brother and came across his diary, and wrote to Mr. Rogers, having seen his address in the diary, stating that she was in possession of the same, and if he desired would forward it to him. He immediately wrote back requesting her to forward it to him, which she did. A correspondence then sprang up between Mrs. Mary Rogers, his wife and Miss Goodrum, which was kept up for some time. About eigh teen months ago he wrote to Miss Goodrum that his wife was dead, and through the solicitations of his chil dren wrote her, as they and his wife had formed quite an attachment for her. Some few days ago he wrote again, stating that he had some “special” business that called him to North Carolina, and would call to see her on his way South. He arrived in Forsyth, and went out to see Miss G to pay a friendly visit and to thank her in person for preserving the little book he prized so highly. He was so well pleased with her he called the next day, and liking one another so well were married, as above stated. The happy couple will leave lor their western home the last of this week. Repentance. [Detroit Free Brews.] The sexton of a Methodist church in a certain village in Alabama is Enoch Smith, a negro, about 50 years of age. In his own church Enoch stands somewhat higher, being a member of the board of stewards, and, so far as the future is concerned, with very fair chance of promotion. A little thing happened the other day, which, but for the unfortunate disclosure of himself by the perpe trator of the joke, would without doubt have elevated Enoch in the opinion of his brethren, but alas ! Late Saturday afternoon, Enoch was engaged in making the white people’s church ready for next day's services. The solitude of the place was rendered more fearful by a heavy rain, thunder and lightning outside, and Enoch is excusable for feeling, as he expressed it, “mighty juboi.s.” A negro drayman sought refuge from the rain in the church porch, and, when he looked into the church and saw the sexton with his back turned, he stealthily entered, and concealed himself under the benches. The sex ton swept, the lightning flashed, the Grand Clearancs Sale. OF Handsome Carpets and Bugs Sale Continued for Thirty Days.

Once more in tones of thunder came the words. "Enoch 1 Turn, and come over on de Jjawd’s side!” Enoch felt that it was answer or die, and so by a mighty effort he swallowed his heart and literally screamed forth: “Yes, my Lawd 1” “How many wives you got ?” said the voice, Enoch was now beside himself with terror, and, falling upon his knees, chanted at the top of his voice. “()! Marse Jesus 1 You kno v hits live widout er axin’ uv’me, but spar me now, spar me now’n’ I'll gin uni all up! Yas, good Lawd, sparpo’ Enoch jes dis oncet ” Here the fa miliar voice of Ben Andrews, the drayman, inquired: “What'n old Harry are you hollerin’ about ?” Enoch gave vent to a resonant groan of mingled relief and chagrin, and, as the laughing questioner arose, resumed his sweeping with the remark: “I seed yer when yer fust came in.” Greensboro Herald: Ad lanter in this county near Greencsboro, had a calf. It was a fine young fellow, and one day not long ago a friend asked him what he would take for him. “Six dollars,” was the reply. The very next day the friend rushed over to the farmers house in a flurry of ex citement. “The train killed your calf just now said he. “I gosh !” ex claimed the farmer, “The railroad must pay me sls for that calf. I wouldn’t have taken $25 for him. It developed, however, that it was ahoax, and the farmer still holds his calf at $5. Spring Has Arrived AND THE Time to Plant GARDEN SEED IS HERE.
