Savannah News: Ono of tlm most, interesting ch*h that Inw coin • to th** attention of the medical fiut'-rnity <>f Savannah in a long time in the recov ery of the power of «pe< ch by a young dumb lady. The young lady iu Mi** Mamie Martun, the pretty daughter of Mr. John Martua, a retired ordnance aergoant of the regular army, who died at his home, No. 1)7 Duffy atria t, Augunt 13th Three yearn ago Sergeant Martun was stationed at Fort Pulaski. While there the family occaaionnlly visited the city by boat. One day the daugh ter, who waa a bright, intelligent child, was taken sick in returning from Savannah. Dr. Harri* wiwimm moned, and he found the young girl, then about 15 yeara of age, suffering with meningitis. By skillful treat ment her life waa saved, but the dis ease left her voiceless. 001'1.0 NOT APEAK A WOltn. For more than two years and n half she was totally dumb. All communi cation was by signs. Sht received the best medical attention, and her father took her West for a year, hop ing that a change of climate might be beneficial. She had good health, but nothing could be done for the lost sense The family hoped that as her voice had left so suddenly it might be restored in the same manner. Dr. Harris said that if it. ever came back it would bo during intense mental excitement Up to the time of her father's death she had not uttered u sound. Ho died on Friday and was buried the next day. At the gr.iv the grief of the speechless daughter found vent only in silent tears, and she was the subject of much sympathy. mtn rnisr woims spoken. The death affected her deeply After the family had returned home Mr George Marius, a grown son, was sitting in the parlor writing. Directly he was surprised to hear some one whis|Hir his name, and upon looking around he saw his sister sitting near. He could not realize that she was able to H|M>ak, but in a few momoi ts lie was convinced that she could articu late slightly. Her first word was very fine ami scarcely audible. She, too, was greatly surprised and over joyed to find that she was understood. Last night she stated that the sen sation at first was as though some thing had given way in her throat. THK VOVNU UllH.'s STOHY. Always before there had been what Hooiued like a pressure on her throat but that was suddenly removed. "1 can't tell you how glad I felt when 1 heard the sound of my own voice," alm said. ".My throat was sore for a while, and I had trouble in finding the words I wanted to use to express my thoughts. Gradually, though, it baa all come back to me and now 1 can talk as fluently as ever.'' For two weeks the habit of com municating by signs was so strong that Mi»a Mart us had to make a strong effort to overcome it Her experience in learning to talk was much like learning a new language, except that the oouhl understand everything that was said to her. Site now converses with ease, and not even a long con vernation affecte her throat A KKMxHKAIU.K CtllK. Dr. Harris states that the recovery of the power of speech is very unus ual, and in this case he nttnbuti sit to great mental excitement. The young lady aays that site was frequently ex cited while dumb, but it did not loose the chord of a|>eech. Her first word was the result of a strong, indefinable unpulso.

Cohili was a wealthy young parsec merchant of Bombay, wiio set out for a tour iiroiiud the world. He went to Cal cutta, thence to Paris, thence to Sou dan an 1 in 1 >7O arrived in this city. He put up nt the HofTninn House and after n short stay there he became violently insane When he was re moved to ii I n[ it i! there win found in hia room $(!(),0(10 in gold ami on his person wu„ a further sum of $lO,- (KJO. After formal lunacy proceedings Nathaniel "Jarvis was appointed to take care of the traveler's money and A. G. Constable to look after his pet,.oiial int rest. Next year,gon ap-' plication of his wife, the luna'io was returned to his home in India. Mr. Constable took him there and collected n bill of $25,000 from (he I estate for the expenses of the trip. The courts held that Coluli's money, which was represented to be invested safely id. seven pci cent, should re main in,Jarvis hands. In 18S2Coluh died and Prescott Hah Butler, who Wai appointed executor of his estate I in this county, asked Mr. Jarvis for I nn accounting. After n long delay .Jarvis reported that there was only $33 out of the original SIOO,OOO re maining. The rest he explained had gone for court expenses mid been lost through bud investments. Butler usked the Court to compel Jarvis to account for his stewardship in a more satisfactory manm r, and the decision to-day orders an accounting for the sum of $53,000 in cash and Securites mid ti largo amount more ot claims that nre known to have composed the estate in 1871. Effrrl of l'cwxpa|) r frilirisin. New York Observer: It is an undoubted fact that in all countries where the newspaper bus become a regularly establishe.l institution, it acts ns a powerful check on the abuses of Government. In Russia, this power is recognized mid largely restrained by repressive lawn and the censorship of the press. Restriction of the same kind lias been attempted in Germany, but not. with the same success. In England this mutter of newspnper privilege recently came up in the course of proceedings to restrain by injunction the publication of charges against a department of the Govern ment. The Court of Queen’s Bench refused the injunction on the ground that the aggrieved persons -had their remedy in the ordinary civil suit for damages and that it was the right mid duty of the newspapers to print such charges if true in substance. In this country, the thing which in the pub lic mind goes farthest in excusing the abuse of newspaper privileges is the knowledge that no outside influence acts so strongly in keeping public men within the lines of right and duty ns newspaper criticism. For police and detective service, no force has proved more vigilant mid effective than the newspaper corps. The present con dition of our city government is an) illustration of this fact; 3ad ns it it would have been immeasurably worse if the newspapers ha 1 kept their eyes closed. THE F:\I1 I’REftKTM. X I'T.AH WOMAN COMI.s BACKTOI.IFI AM' l UOI'HI iII S HIE M 11.1.1 Ml M Savannah News: A gentleman from Flemington, Liberty county, was in the city yesterday, mid repor ted that the colored people out there are greatly wrought up over the ! peculiar circumstances connected with a negro woman's death. 'I he; woman had been siek for some time, ; and late one afternoon, about a week ago she died, or at least those who were pr< sent had every reason to I believe that she did, and they had I her hud out as a bona fide coqiso. The friends of the dead woman were sitting around in the room 1 discussing the good qualities of the departed one with that feeling and ! solemnity in keeping with the oc casion, when suddenly the supposed corpse was seen to move restlessly a time or two and then assume a Bit ting poature. The mourners rushed out of the house frightened half out of their wits. After remaining out some time tw > or three of the bravest among them mustered up courage to approach the house. When the had come within speaking distance the woman called to them to come in, that she l.a<l something to say to them. With fear and trembling they entered, ami the woman told them that she bad been dead, but that she come back to give them a warning. The warning was that the world should come to au end on September 29. After making this awful prediction she Hii<l that she would be with them untilo'clock the next morning, when she would leave forever. She asked them nil to to get ready for the final winding upon September 29, ami to lie prepar ed to meet her on that day. She was punctual to the minute as to her promise to leave them at 9 o'clock the following morning, and died precisely ut that hour. Al. this occurred a few days before the earthquake, and the coming of this was full and complete proof to the negroes that the prediction was true. '1 hey regard the earthquake as a forerunner of the eventful Septem ber 29. The gentleman who narrated the story says that the wildest excitement prevails among the negroes, and that they are preaching ami praying day and night, and that they have con stant relays of preachers, and as soon ns one is exhausted another is put in his place.

For N.tit by all druggist. killul in a IVi II Washington Gaz.ette: Mr. Martin D. Burges was killed in his well near Pierce’s Chapel in this county, on Tuesday, by the falling of a large bucket of rock. He had been blast ing in the well, and had filled the buck, t with rock. When near the top tho heavily loaded bucket broke loose and went wbizzling down, striking tho num and the bottom of the well with a terrible crash. The well was thirty feet deep and only two and n half feet square. The bucket must have fallen at least twenty-five feet, and being confined in so small a place there was no es cape for tho doomed num. There be ing no bail to the bucket a chain was substituted, but the links of the chain were badly worn and the giving away of one of them caused this terrible accident. Mr. Burgess was jrtuckon the head and the skull badly fractured. When picked up, ho was conscious in which condition ho remained ti l late in the day when Im breathed his last. He was about thirty-five years old, and leaves a wife and three little children to mourn his loss. The deceased was n valued member Jof the Greenwood Baptist church. He was the fourth brother who had died an unnatural death.

MeWfir, Barrett A Co., Augusta, Ga. Dear Sirs I feel it my duty to the public generally to publish my experience with vour most valuable preparation, 11. 11. P. f was Huftering a great deal with biliousness and dvKjH'psia ami felt terribly. I was going to be married in a few days, and was at a loss what to do, as I was generally depressed. I fortuna tely nu tMr Newt Hoggie on the streets of St. Louis, when he gave me a bottle ot H. H. P. It acted like a charm, and in three days I was perfectlv relieved. Ko pleased was I with the effects I bought a dozen bottles, and for the sum of $5 spent I received ten fold returns. Yours truly, Thomas G. Bhouke. The above is forcibly illustrated by the following private letter to Mr. Heggie: St. Lovir, March 3, 1886. D« ar Newt—How I can ever thank you sufficiently for your recommendation of H. H. P. 1 do not know, hut rest assured I feel under many obligations. After my wife and I return ed from our bridal tour nothing would do Sally but to have her mother live with us. She came, and from tho first began quarreling with the cook, the butter, house girl and all, and in fact raising a row about everything. Nothing could please her. The tea was too strong or too weak. When we had pic she want ed pudding. At last patience ceased to be a virtue, and, being strongly under the impress ing she was crazv, I sent for Dr. J. . He after a careful diagnosis ofher case, said she was suffering from biliousness and torpid liver. 1 then saw at last peace and happiness in view. I induced her to take H. H. P. Even the first dose made* a marvelous change, and after having used two bottles, “mirabli dictu,” she has become the nicest old lady in the land. If 1 had not fortunately met you on the street I fear that ere this I would have been a lunatic. My advice to you is, if you ever get married ( ami to all other voung couples, is to lav in a fbw bottli s of 11. H. P. With kind regards, I am your friend, Tom. N. B. The neighbors are surprised at the great change in my mother-in-law. Tell the proprietors of H. H. P. that when I tell them the cause they will have to enlarge their busi ness.
