A Fighting Preactier.
Petersburg Index-Appeal.
A Lynchburg cor., writes: Quite
a lively time took place at Campbell
Court Houston Monday, (court day)
in which a piominent Methodist min¬
was the most imposing figure.
’W. G. Lumpkin is-(he Metho¬
dist circuit rider in this part of the
county; and is a great .advocate of
“prohibition,” and a gentleman of
character and firmness. Later in the
evening he was accosted by a young
man by the name of Borrow, and
charged with having insulted him by
representing to some of his lady
friends that his temperance habits
were not good, and demanded an
apology. As none was given, a fight
at once commenced. During the af¬
fray, Junius, a young son of Mr.
Lumpkin, joined iri with his father,
whereupon two or three friends of
Mr. Pcrrow also joined in the affray
with him, when the fight became
pretty general and severe over the
green, several of the combatants hav¬
ing been hurt, including Mr. Lump¬
kin and bis son, though none dan¬

From the Minneapolis Times.
A good story is told of one of our
local politicians who was canvassing
for the nomination for a county of¬
fice. One afternoon lie attended a
gathering in an out township, and
meeting an intelligent-looking young
j man, who lie thought might have
some influence, walked up to him and
shook him warmly by the hand, in¬
quiring: “How is your father?” The
young iti/ui answered: “My father
has oeen dead three years.” ‘Indeed,’
replied the candidate, “I had not
heard of it. I knew him intimately.
He was one of my best friends, and
I regret to hear it. lie was one of
the best, and purest men I ever knew.

One does not need a thermometer
nowadays to find that it grows warm¬

A little boy said be would rather
have the earache than the toothache,
because he wasn’t compelled to have
his ear pulled out.
“I wish that dog would go out of
the parlor. I wonder why he don’t.”
“Probably because be is a tarrver,”
was the reply.
“You must take this vessel for a
love affair,” said the captain to a
spooney couple who were monopo¬
lizing the only chair on the quarter
deck. “This is no court ship!”
“I think 1 wear twos,” she simper,
ed to the shoemaker, “do I not?”
“Yes, ma’am,” said the honest dealer,
“you wear twos.” Then, under his
breath, “one on each foot!”
At a flower show two young and
talkative ladies were discussing their
reasons for their fondness for partic¬
ular flowers. ‘Oh! I do lo\e hclio

ice-cream.

Caroline—“What do you think is
the reason?" Sardonicus—“Because

A little girl visiting a neighbor

•What are you reading, my dear?”
asked a motherly old lady of her
daughter who was swinging in a
hammock in the side yard one Sun¬

“That’s right, my dear, read all you

Our Juries
H. V. Itashiiigtonin Macon*Telegraph.
Editors Telegraph: While the sub¬
ject of reform is up allow me a few
words in your p3per. In your com
ment on Mr. Hardeman’s card you
say “Our laws arc good And suffi¬
cient. What is wanted is prompt
and proper enforcement, alike upon
high and low, and it is the bounden
duty of every honest man in the
community to aid this.” This points
to the cause of the flagrant and con¬
tinued violation of law which dis*
credits the fair name of our city.—
But does “every honest man aid in
enforcing the law?” There is hut
ot.e sure way of enforcing the law
and that is through the juries—in
criminal cases they are judges of
both law and fact. If the jur.es
have intelligence, integrity and mor¬
al courage the guilty will receive
due punishment; if, on the other
hand, they are either timid or igno¬
rant or corrupt, just verdicts cannot
be expected. Trial by jury is a fun'
damental law of the land—is found¬
ed in reason and justice and ipprov
cd by human experience. I state
what every one knows in saying that
very many of the respectable citi¬
zens of Macon have not for years
sat upon a jury, and this by reason
of false pride, or indifference to the
public welfare, or too exclusive at¬
tention to private affairs. Yet, many
of these good intending citizens are
horrified where justice fails, and cry
out, against the inefficiency of the
courts. Let the “good citizens’’ dis¬
charge the moral and legal duty of
serving upon the jury. Another
needed reform is a correct and im¬
partial public sentiment.
“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in
our stars, but in ourselves.”

How to tell When a Person is Dead
Frotr the Modical'and Surgical Ilccorder.
While wo are decidedly in favor
of cremation we do not admit that
the fear of being buried alive should
be a reason to cause us to reject bu¬
rial and to adopt cremation. There
are two simple tests by which we can
always convince ourselves whether a
person is really dead or not.
One test is the same that has been
crowned with a prize by the French
government, which had for years of¬
fered a large reward for the discov¬
ery of any method, always applica¬
ble, always reliable, and one that
may be practised by the most igno¬
rant. The method of determining ac¬
tual death which was considered by
the French government as being wor¬
thy of the reward is the following:
When the fingers of a person who
is supposed to be dead are fully ex¬
tended, but kept nCa 1 ’ together, and
if placed in front of a candle light
in a dark room, a peculiar bright col¬
or, due to the capillary circulation,
will be visible where the fingers
touch each other if there is any - life
left.
The other is based upon the well
known fact that the muscles of a hu¬
man being will never respond for a
longer time to tho strongest electri¬
cal current than for one hour and a
half after death; while as long as life
lasts, may its evidence be ever so lit¬
tle, the contractility of the muscles,
if not affected by some forms of pa¬
ralysis—and in cases thus affected,
when death seems to occur, it always
is real—remains.

MKKT WITH A TKKKIIIT.K FATK.
A - >c Orleans States.
At (5::tO o’clock last evening Leila
Weymouth, a white girl nine years
of age, left lu-r mother’s house, at
the corner of Berlin and Magazine
streets, to take her seven months old
sister, Alice, for a walk. After kiss
m their mother goodbye, Leila stray,
ed toward the l*pper Magazine -Mar¬
ket, playing and toying with the lit¬
tle one in her arms. Not thinking
of danger, the little girl proceeded
on her way in the market, when sud¬
denly she went down, down until
she struck water. Her cries could
not be heard, and after struggling
some time, she, with the little one in
her arms, slowly sank, and the two
were drowned.
This well was only a foot and a
foot and a half in diameter, and was
used to get water from whep the
market was cleaned. It was left
open yesterday, and as it was very

Newspaper Borrowers.
The following we take from an
exchange, to which we give a hearty
amen:
Do you ever tlitnk, as week after
week you borrow your neighbor’s
paper, how the man who publishes
the paper would live if every body
did as you do? Just imagine yourself
in .the publisher’s place, and see how
you would like some fellow to come
to your house every Sunday regular*
ly week after week from year’s end
to that of the next, and borrow a
loaf of bread and take it away and
eat it without making you any re¬
turn. T.ue you don’t eat the news,
paper you borrow, but yon do—eve¬
ry mother’s son of yon—rob the
printer by borrowing your neigh¬
bor’s newspaper and reading it, be¬
cause you depriv e the printer of the
opportunity of selling a paper. You
say this is a small matter; yon are
right, it is a small matter in your
ease; but suppose everybody was as
mean as you are, who would take
the papers then, and where would
you find one to borrow? Does it ever
occur to you, that your neighboo
who, with long, suffering, charity
and forbearance, continues to sup¬
ply you with literary food through
summer’s heat and winter’s cold for
many weary years, thinks you are
the meanest-and most despicable
wretch on the race of the earth, and
wishes you were transported to the
North Dole or sunk to th» bottom of
the deep, deep sea.
On the Other Track
From the Boston Iieeord.
They are telling an old story about
a party of dry goods men who went
out to the Pines the other day in a
two-seated carriage, and dealt so
largely in goods that were not dry
that they were unable to keep the
road when they c-aine back, ami drift¬
ed off upon the railroad track at the
first crossing. While they were hump¬
ing along home over the ties they
caught sight of a train coming at full
speed. Their terror at the sight sob¬
ered them all up in a minute, ami
the driver attempted to turn out of
the track, but the wheels of tl c car¬
riage were caught between the rails.
The horses plunged and leaped, the
pole was broken straight off, the dry
goods men yelled with terror. The
train came rushing down upon them
—and whized by on the other track.

Sacrificed Herself for Her Afllaneed.
One day recently one of the largest
funeral processions ever seen in Mar¬
shall, Ill., followed the remains of
poor Martha Belch to the grave.—
Her case is one of the saddest on re¬
cord. Two years ago she was the
picture of health and strength She
then engaged herself to Kphriam
Dickson, a young farmer ot Edgar
county. They were to be married
at an early day. For nearly eigh¬
teen monfhs past she has been fail¬
ing in health, and finally grew very
despondent as she became worse, and
swallowed poison. After she had
taken the fatal dose she told her
weeping parents that she thougnt it
better to die at once tlran to live and
be only a burden to her husband.—
She directed that her portion of tho
estate of which she was an heir bo
given her affianced. Her parents
and her lover are almost frantic with
grief over the sad affair.
Ike Sloan was a farmer, like other
Yiuinontcrs, but wasn’t exactly one
of the type whose “critters” and ve¬
getables always bring more money
than other people’s. On the contra¬
ry, if there was any difference be¬
tween the price that he got for his
products and the market rate it was
generally to his disadvantage. One
day on his way back from the vil¬
lage he complained bitterly to the
people with whom he gossiped along
the road that the storekeeper had
abused him most shamefully by giv¬
ing him only nine cents a pound for
his maple sugar. “But, goldernhim,*
said Sloan, with a chuckle, “I got
even with him, for I put more’n two
dozen 'bucketfuls of water into the
sap before I b’iled it.”—Boston Ret
cord.
