THE ROMANCE OF t. KEEN MOUNT.
THE TRAGEDY THAT CONVERTED A
FAMILY ESTATE INTO A GRAVEYARD.
A correspondent of the Philadel¬
phia Press relates the following ro¬
mance of Greenmount Cemetery, in
Baltimore: “I do not know why
home should make me think of cctn
eterios, unless it is that the lack of
one has filled the other; but I am
reminded of something that Lena
Delmar told me. The cemetery in
Baltimore is a wonderfully reinantic
place. Some very noted people sleep
there; there are the Booth family
lias and Mine. Patterson-Bonaparte, who
carved upon the huge block of
granite that keeps her ambitious
spirit down. ‘After life’s fitful fe¬
ver, she sleeps well.’ But the ro¬
mance that created the cemetery is,
perhaps, the greatest of all. A great
many years ago it was the country
place of a very wealthy family. The
father, a widower, had one daughter
and several sons. On the girl he
lavished all the love that a man of
passionate nature can give, an.l you
can imagine how indignant he was
when he was told that she wanted
to marry a handsome, worthless cous¬
in. He positively forbade it, order¬
ing the cousin not to come near the
house, and heforood his daughter to
promise that she would not meet him
outside.
“Weeks passed, and during that
time the darkies began to talk of
robbers on the place. They declared
they had seen them, aud talked so
much about it that the spns and their
father concluded to keep an outlook
one evening. Nothing more was
said about it for fear of alarming
their sister. Fat into the night they
watched, and saw in the moonlight
a figure across the lawn, evidently a
white man, and very certainly, they
thought, ono of the robbers. The
father f red, the figure sw.wed to and
fro and then fell to the ground.—
Out they rushed to capture the rob¬
ber, and they found their siste«, dy¬
ing, unable to say a word, and they
knelt beside her until her heart ceas¬
ed to beat. Then they lifted tlu-ir
precious burden and carried it hack
to the home where she had left a
few hours before with such a gay
heart.
“Believing that her father’s anger
was only temporary, she had, eve
ning after evening, met her lover in
the park, and, to escape detection,
had each time put on a suit of her
younger brother’s clothes. The dark¬
ies had seen them, #nd as they kept
their faces well hidden, were quite
sincere in believing them people who
had come to steal. The family vault
on the place received the dead girl’s
body; the house was torn to the
ground and the beautiful park sold
for a cemetery, with the understand¬
ing that the vault was to remain as
it was. The brothers disappeared
into the world, but, as the years
went on, no day was t«-o stormy to
keep the father from spending it
just beside the vault. When the
gates opened he was the first to go
in, and the keepers would come and
tell him when it was time to leave.
At last there camD a day when he
d d not come. In a little while they
carried him there, put the lifeless
clay besides the child he had loved
and killed, and left them to rest in
peace. This is all true, and yet the
realists complain of the lack of ro¬
mance in life.”
The Wool Market
Those best posted found out some
time ago that not only was the wool
clip of the world short, but its qual¬
ity was also inferior. The heavy rise
in thp price of meripo wool abroad
arises largely f rom our unexpected
deficianpy in the River Platte clip.
Round lots of cheap South Ameri¬
can wools were reshipped hence in
May and June to London, because
American buyers were hoping for
still lower prices. No» r American
buyers are ransacking London and
Antwerp markets ready to buy just
such wools at 20 to 25 per cent,, ad'
vance in price,
Business Prospects.
New York Commercial Bulletin.
He enter upon the last summer
month with prospects on every hand
of an active and satisfactory autumn
trade. The reports from many of the
leading lines of wholesale business,
in another part of this morning’s
Bulletin, in this respect are of the
most assuring character. These have
been derived from the best inform¬
ed sources, and we are satisfied that
they are thoroughly impartial.
Herliaps there is no better gauge
to the situation at large than the vol¬
ume of merchandise going forward
to the various distributing points by
the interior and coast transportation
companies. Tested by this standard,
the reports of the various companies
are highly gratifying, not only as re¬
gards business already in hand, hut
the look ahead. Some of these lines,
for that matter, report trade better
than at any time during the past four
years. With Texas, Louisiana and
Florida, notwithstanding the dam¬
age to crops from the prolonged
drouth, there is every indication of
a satisfactory trade. Buyers of dry
goods, groceries and other staples
are already in the market* prepara¬
tory to fall purchases. From all the
principal trades distributing food
and clothing, we have the same re¬
ports; that retailers’ stocks arc ex¬
ceptionally low and collections bet¬
ter than for several years.
There aro some drawbacks with
which the country has still to con¬
tend, the more serious of which, per¬
haps, is the wheat and corn shortage
in consequence of the July drouth,
which will have the effect of materi¬
ally reducing our exportable surplus;
but on this point there is a disposi¬
tion in many quartets to make the
mischief worse than it really is. As
the case stands, the yield of wheat
actually secured is greater than We
had in July, 1885; while as to the
average condition of other crops, wo
have official assurance that it is quite
as favorable as that of last year. The
cotton crop promises well, except in
some of the Atlantic States; and if
there be a shortage there it will pro¬
bably be made up by increased pro¬
duction in other section. The hog
product—another important factor
—is largely ahead of that of last sea'
son. The labor troubles still operate
to a certain extent as a hindrance to
many large manufacturing industios,
as well as a discouragement to the
investment of capital in new enter¬
prises; but -n the nature of things
these must before long wear them¬
selves out. We might also dwell up¬
on the disturbing influence of the
continued decline in silver, and the
consequent progressive deterioration
of the silver dollar; but the effects
on the currency which these promise
to work out arc prospective, and may
be dismissed, therefore, from a mere
diagnosis of the commercial situa¬
tion for the time being; or we may
solace ourselves with the reflection
that Congress, which is mainly re¬
sponsible for whatever breakers
ahead there are in this respect, is oil
the eve of adjournment, and incapa¬
ble therefore, of inflistiug further
mischief upon the financial and com¬
mercial interests of the country.

The Brunswick Herald says: The
idea that yellow pine is played out
in south Georgia is absurd. Nowhere
else in all the world can larger trees
be obtained than around Brunswick.
James Holmes, of this city, has a
contract wth the* Ililton Timber and
Lumber company, at Doboy, to fur¬
nish the largest hewn timber in the
world. No tree is to be less than sev¬
enty feet long and nineteen inches
square at the small end. These he ob¬
tains in abundance on Woolly island,
the propsrty of John Ward, of this
pity, and for each one he pays|§5 for
a piece. His base of operations is
Jamaica, this county, and it takes
twenty-four yoke of oxen to haul
each tree, and then only three trees
arp Jiouled to Jamaica in two weeks.
Each tree, when hewn and hauled to
the point of shipping, brings Holmes

Paying a Soda Water Bet
jF rom (he Macon Telegraph.
Some time ago a Certain well
known merchant bet one of his coun¬
try customers all the soda water he
could drink in one day that Bacon
would be nominated for Governor.
Yesterday morning bright and ear¬
ly, the country customer was on
hand to claim the hot. lie was di¬
rected to Hunt’s drug store and told
to drink all he could.
He called for lemon, and Albert
soon set it before hint. Then he call¬
ed for strawberry. Albert thought
the countryman was thirsty, and soon
the glass with its pink froth was
handed out.
“Now, I’ll take vanilla,” he said
quietly. Albert was now thoroughly
convinced that the man was thirsty,
and hastened to give him another
glass.
“Orange and cream this time,” said
the winner of the bet as he wiped off
with his sleeve the froth from his
moustache. Albert leaned over the
counter and took a look at the ther¬
mometer. It was nearly 90. Then
handed the man his orange and cream
“Cot any pineapple?” asked the
man. Albert stopped chewing his
gum and took off his coat.
“Sasperilly?” said the man as he
laid down the empty glass. Albert
was puZzled. The man said nothing
more than to ask for the soda, lie
seemed to drink it because lie loved
it, and as he drained each glass Al
bert wondered if he could stand an¬
other. When he had set down the
fourteenth «,Iass, Albert was nearly
tired out, but imagine bow be felt
when tne man called for a milk
shake!
'The fact of a man standing at a
soda fountain drinking a dozen glass¬
es of soda without showing any signs
of fatigue soon drew a crowd. The
merchant heard of the pi ogress his
customer was making, and hastily
calculating that at the rate lie was
drinking it would foot up in ten
hours something like $15, sent a
clerk in disguise to the drug store to
tell the customer that his horse was
running away. In this way Albert
and the soda fountain secured a lit¬
tle rest.
Later in the clay he returned and
told about the but, saying that he
would return some day next week
and finish. He has credit for one
hour twj the day, and the merchant
is charged on the soda water account
with 15 glasses. Albert is now ap¬
plying for a month’s leave of absence.

Fourteen Mistakes of Life.
Somebody lias condensed the mis¬
takes of life, and arrived at the con
elusion that there are fourteen of
them. Most people would say, if
they are told the truth, that there
was no limit to the mistakes of life;
that they were like the drops in the
ocean or the sands of the shore in
number, hut it is well to be accurate.
Here, then, are fourteen great mis¬
takes: “It is a great mistake to set
up our own standard of light and
wrong, and judge people according¬
ly; to measure the enjoyment of
others by on'* own; to expect uni¬
formity of opinion in this world; to
look for judgment and experience in
youth; to endeavor to mould all dis¬
positions alike; to yield to immate¬
rial trifles; to look for perfection in
our own actions; to worry ourselves
and others with what cannot be rem¬
edied; not to alleviate all that needs
alleviation as far as lies in our pow¬
er; to consider everything impossi¬
ble that we cannot perform; to be¬
lieve only what our finite minds can
grasp; to expect to be able lo un¬
derstand everything.

that when it was thundering it was
God talking, was out on the lawn
one day not long ago playing with
her dolls. Her mother, seeing a
storm coming up, called to little
Alice to bnrrp and come in. She
began pickingwp her playthings, but
before she got them all it thundered,
when she exclaimed*:' “Oh, Dod,

Outlines of the Drawing.
“The etcher is now- ready for work
in earnest. He takes a drawing, which
of course, may be original or a copy,
and etches its fac-simvle on the plate
before hinq. , If he wishes to
special pains with his subject, winch
is usually, the case, he does not copy
the drawing directly on the plate,
but takes an intermediate step. Ov¬
er his drawing he fastens a perfect¬
ly hard transparent gelatine compo¬
sition, and* with his etching point
etches the drawing on this, exactly
on the principle of the transparent,
slate of our nursery days. The gela¬
tine plate is removed, and presents a
rough and scratched surface. It is
lightly scraped, but so lightly that
the indented lines are not disturbed
or effaced. These lines are filled with
red chalk. The gelatine plate is then
reversed and placed on the etching
ground of the copperplate. A burn¬
isher is applied, which transfers the
obalk to the etcher’s from or upon
the plate. Thus the etcher has a per¬
fect outline of the drawing on the
plato oii which he is to work. In this
way he is guilded in his task, and
his work is expedited.
“The etcher now begins to use the
tools of his tiade, each of which is
known as an ‘etching point.’ \Vit.h
these instruments the subject is again
etched, this time on the etcher’s
ground. Where the etcher wishes to
obtain the darkest effects fewer lines
are etched and are made further
apart to enable them to stand a long¬
er ‘bite’ by the acid. Of course the
acid bites into the copper plate only
where the etching point has scratch¬
ed through the ctchcr’t ground to
the original copper plate. If the plate
on which the artist is at work is a
small one, it is placed in a pan and
the acid is than poured on. If, how¬
ever, it is a large one, there is put
around the edge of the plate what is
known as a ‘frame of wall wax,’ in
in one corner of which is placed a
spout for convenience in pouring off
the acid.

A Revolutionary Horn.
Falrburn News.
Tn his elcciioncering rotinjs Mr,
M. I*. Ilarvey lias learned several
things worth knowing. Among
other things he has found a horn
(not the kind the hoys get in a bot¬
tle; if it had been we do not believe
Pomp would have brought it to us),
but a powder horn, the history of
which is interesting. It was given
by an artilleryman to Thomas Mtf
ry, commander of a Virginia regi¬
ment, at Yorktovn, during the
American revolution, who afterward
became one of the first settlers of
Lincoln county, Ga. lie gave it to
his granddaughter, Mrs. J. N. Rob¬
inson, the present owner, wife of
Commissioner J. N. Robinson, of
this county. The horn bears the in¬
scription, “J/itchael Ivctring, 1708,’
nicely carved inside a scroll. On
the curve side is a nicely carved urn,
out of which grows a tropical plant
of some kind. On one side of this
is carved a bear, tiger jackal, and
other animals, and on the under side
is a well executed representation of
a castle, in Italian style of architec¬
ture, upon the dome of which is an
Indian chief, just over the weather
vane. The large end is closed by a
handsomely carved piece of walnut
wood. The horn is in a good state
of preservation, a few worn holes
eaten half through, aud its yellowish
color indicating its age. It is high¬
ly vahjo4 by its owner as tin heir
loom.

RECIPES FOR CHEAP WHISKY
-
An Imitation Article^ That Is
Used in tiie Dry Counties.
Sav. News. ’
*- .
George IF. Moore, of Bryan conn
held for the Uuiten State*
Ctfurt by Commissioner Beckett
yesterday on a charge of violating
the internal revenue laM. Moore
had gone into the business of selling
recipes for making whisky. He had
bought of Strange,the sthe supposed
patentee, the right to sell the pre¬
scription in Bryan, Liberty and
McIntosh counties. The recipe cost
the buyer $5. There was no evidence
that Moore had disposed of any of
his prescriptions, hut there were wit'
nesses who had seen him trying te
dispose of some.
The ingredients are the same as
those published in the News several
months ago, when a Montgomery
county man was arrested on the same
charge. A number of the recipes
have been sold in the dry counties.
The ingredicncs can ho obtained at
any drug store and a gallon of the
imitation whisky can bo made for a
few- cents.
Married People’s Duties.
Sennis, in Cleveland Plaindealer .
Before marriage it is considered
the height of impropriety for a lady
to make any advance in love matters;
they must stand demurely back and
wait for the prince’s coining and he
very chary indeed about meeting
him oven half way; but after mar*
riage. lo! the tables are turned, as
some seem to think,-and it straight*
way becomes the duty of the wife to
put forth every effort to keep the
love she has been so modest in gain¬
ing. I am a firm believer in the doc¬
trine of mutual forbearance, making
the duty of the man equal that of the
woman in making a happy home and
keeping the love which betook such
unwearied pains to gain. Isn’t the
marriage vow to love, honor and
cherish as binding for one as the oth¬
er? Is a man to be lightly excused
from his part of the contract and the
woman held to hers? Wife and moth¬
ers, what endless cares and trials are
your portion? If you do not need
sympathy, love and appreciation,
w ho does? If it is the duty of the
wife to dress up for her husband it
is also his duty to do the same.

•‘Yes, indeed; Julia’s father and
mother were laying for me the other
night, when she heard my tap on the
