AN ACCURSED SPOT. Washington Chronicle: On the road from Americus to Vienna, Ga., is one of the richest lands in the world. Vegetation grows rich and rank, while the great wreaths of moss hanging from the wide spreading oaks look like bridal veils. This renders all the more remarkable a spot of about 100 yards square by a turn of the road, just three miles out of Vienna. Upon this spot not a bpde of grass has been known to sprout in years. In its center atar.ds a giant oak, which has lost its verdure, an I is n>w shaken from its roots by the wind. Ten years ago two little white girls, the daughters of a farmer were on their way one morning to school in Vienna. They never reached the school room, which caused no alarm, as the teacher supposed they had been kept al home. But when the children failed to return home at the accustomed hour then! was great alarm. It was sunset when the father returned from his Helds, and the night was intensely dark, with a drenching rainfall. Taking a lantern to guide his steps the father proceeded on the way to Vienna. When he reached the head of the road a flash of the light fell across a pale and vivid face. He approached ami found that it was one of his daughter*— lying dead. A low moan fell upon his ears. Proceeding to the spot whence it came, he found the other daughter hound and gagged, and tied to the oak tiee. She was wild with delirium but enough could be gathered to know that a worse crime had preceded the murder. The girl is still a hopeless maniac. The news erented intense excitement. Men left their fields, vowing that until the perpetrator of the deed was caught they would not return to the plow han dles. Circumstances gathered around a young negro in the neighborhmxl until they glow into conviction, made a fact by the culprits confession. He was taken to the spot, bound and gagged, and thrown into a blazing fire which had been built on the scene of the crime. Since that time the spot has been deemed to he accursed.

COURTSHIP IN GEORGIA When a Georgia farmer found out that his son John was spark-4 ing a certain farmer's daughter for a year or more without settling any question, he called him out behind the stack and said to him : •John, do you love Susan Tucker ?’ “1 guess I do, dad.” And does she love you ?” •‘That’s what 1 duuno, and I am afraid to ask her.” ••Well, you’d better throw out a few hints to-night and find out. it's no use wearing out boot leather unless you are going to marry her.” That night nt 10 o’clock John came home a wreck His face was all scratched up, his ear was bleeding, his hat was gone, and his back was covered with mud. ••John ! John ! what on earth is the matter?" exclaimed the old man, laying down the paper. “Bin over to Tucker’s,” was the reply. And—and—and I threw out u tew hints to Susan.” “What kind o| hints?" “Why, I told her !‘J I. e i ho ti is j i* tw > miles four .iigu.'«>. a week tor the last two years Io set up with her while she chewed gum and sung through her nos ~ nd n<>« 1 reckoned it w. s t.me for her to -brush her teeth uuj darn her stockings, • cure the bile on her chin and tell the people were engaged..’ “And her father bounced you?" “No dad, no; there’s where I'm consoled. It took the whole family, including Susan, two hired men and three dogs, ami then I wasn’t mor’n half licked. I guess we moved on ’em too soon dad—l goers it wasn't quite time to throw out hints.” J<»tH Teinn, 1 ec. 29th, 1885. To bn J H. McLrml Nt. Ixmiw* M».

Washington Chtonicle: Meet ing an old friend the other day. | our conversation turned upon ' alcoholic stimulants, and the ! gentleman remarked. “There are oilier things besides corn juice that will make anybody drunk. I had a lot of corn beer not a great while ago, that had become too! hard for either myself or the box to drink, and I concluded to give it to an old sow that 1 had put up to fatten. When 1 poured it into the i trough, it seemed that she would hurt herself, and when I went to the pen in about 2 hours again she ! was blind drunk. She could grunt and roll her eyes, but could not stand alone. 1 went back again in about an hour, and I tell you that hog was reeling alxmt like a man that had been on a big spree. Tell me that corn lieer won't make a man drunk. 1 know better." Si. k h< aJ*eh< , in th* bane of many live* lint antiuviup eompaiut may be cured and Dievcnied by the ikvanu’Ual übc Dr. J. H.
