warrant for the arrest of W. A. Wood

said Wooden with having received
stolon seed cotton from a negro, to
the amount of about 200 pounds.

pounds for a debt which a certain ne
gro owed him, but stubbornly refu
ses to give the name. —Albany News.
—ln reply to an inquiry about the
debt and resources of Macon, one of
its merchants in a lettei sums up the
case in this wise: "Our city corpora
tion is in a better condition than any
in Georgia, and her bonds look
cheap. She owes less than $700,000;
the property valuation is $8,400,000;
the regular rate of taxation is 1 per
cent. This year the Legislature
granted us the right to levy an extra
tax of one quarter of one per cent, to
pay some maturing obligations. She
probably has public property enough
to pay her whole debt. She cannot
issue another bond unless authorized
by the Legislature and ratified by a
two-thirds vote of her freeholders.”
A Ran With a Fork In III* Mtomaeh.
Does anybody remember the Man
with the' Fork, that unfortunate
clerk of the great store of the Prin
temps, who, pretending to swallow a
fork one day, really did swallow it
for good and all? i related his pa
thetio story in my letter at that time.
For about a week the poor fellow was
tile sensation of all Paris. The ilhts
trated papers gave his portrait and a
picture of the fork. The comic pa
pers caricatured him. He was made
the subject of comic songs and comic
acts at the variety theatres, and of
endless jokes in the daily press.
Medical science and skill were found
powerless to relieve him of his inter
nal piece of silver-ware, and he was
finally discharged from the hospital
with the fork still lodged in his stom
ach. More than a year has elapsed
since then, and of course he ought to
have died long ago. But he is still
alive, and as well as possible under
the circumstances. lie resides at
Dijon, but. isshorily to re-appear in
Paris, where he will of course be an
object of interest and curiosity to all
the medical faculty, to say nothing
of the world at large. During Ids
stay at Dijon he iias composed two
pieces of music, one of which is a
waltz entitled “The Enchanted
Fork.” Paris Letter tothe Philadel

Wh at to Do in Case of Accident. -
Professor Wilder, of Cornell Univer
sity, gives these short rules for not
ing in ease of accident:
For dust in the eyes,avoid rubbing;
dash cold water in them : remove cin
ders, ete., with the round point of a
lead pencil.
Remove insects from the ear by
tepid water. Never put it hard instru
ment into the ear.
If any artery is cut, compress it
above the wound; ir a vein is cut,
compress it below.
If choked, go upon all fours and
cough.
For slight, burns, dip the part, in
cold water; if the skin is destroyed,
cover with vurnislt
For apoplexy, raise the head and
body; for fainting, lay the person
flat.

The Parisians were so pleased with
the gorgeous appearance of the Lord
Mayor of London when he visited
that city, last summer, in his gilded
carriage, magazine blue silk gown,
golden collar, and bewigged and be
powdered attendants, that a petition
is to be sent to the Assembly for the
creation of the office of Lord Mayor
of Paris. Paris at present is divided
into twelve arrondissements or wards,
each of which has a mayor and two
deputies, the chief authority being
the Prefect of the Seine, who has a
general supervision. If the splendor
loving Parisians get, their Lord May
or they will find that they will have
to pay dearly for the whistle, if they
propose to imitate the gaudy figure

Kerosene fof. Ivy Poisoning.—Ker
osene, if, is said, will relieve the irri
tation occasioned bv poison from ivy
in forty minutes, anil eradicate the
poison entirely in as many hours.
With the point of the finger, or a soft
brush, rub a small portion of the oil
over the places where the eruption
appears, repeating the application
three or four times a day. Relief
from the itching will be almost im
mediate, and the cure certain and
speedy.

Pork in Georgia. An exchange
says: The mountain counties will
produce large quantities of pork this
season. The mast is good, and corn
in abundance has been raised, which
can be put in meat and made ready
for market by the middle of January.
The hogs in the mountains always
get fat on the mast, and it hikes but
little grain to harden their flesh and
make them ready to slaughter.
The Queen of Holland does not seem
to be going to die, after all. She is
known as a great patron of literature
and educational movements. She
was overwhelming in her attentions
to Motley, the historian, when he was
in Holland getting material for his
■‘History of the Netherlands,” and
furnished him with every facility to
accomplish his purpose.
The following epitaph, copied
from a Pennsylvania tombstone, has
been sent to the Historical Society of
that State:
“Here lies the bodie of Margaret
Fay, her would if her could but her
couldn’t stay, her had had legs and
abaddish cough, it were her legs as
i carried her off.”
This year’s crop of apples in Mich
igan is surpassing anything ever pro

the month of October.

ALABAMA ELECTION.
THR CONSTITtTION ADOPTED BY A
HEAVY MAJORITY!
Fnmvplt to Radicalism In Alaltnma I
THE ELECTION CONDUCTED QUIETLY AND
ORDERLY.
Seale, Ala., Nov. 10. The vote at
this place is 147 for the Constitution;
none against it.
About one hundred negroes came
here to vote, but found no tickets for
their part y and refused to vote at all.
The vote at Hatchechubbeo was
solid for the Constitution. Every
thing passed off quietly. W.
Hurtville, Ai.a., Nov. 10.- The
election for tin* ratification of the
new Constitution passed off quietly
to-day. Very little interest was man
ifested in. the election ;a few negroes
voted, but the majority of tho votes
were polled by the whites. The total
number of votes polled was 105, all
for the new Constitution. S.
Eufaula, Nov. 10. Vote for the
Constitution 640; against it 6.
Union Springs, Nov. 10. -In the
election in this county (Bullock)
three beats Union Springs, Ridgely
and Midway -vote 002 for the Con
stitution. and 749 against—a gain of
430 over the vote for the Convention
in August.
The clerks at High Log and Fitz
patrick's, after the whiles had voted,
closed the polls and refused to act
any longer; consequently no returns
from those beats.
The vote of this place was 310 for
and 503 against the Constitution;
Midway was 243 for and 80 against it.
It is supposed the county will be
very close; will require full returns
to determine the result, P.

dred majority here for the Constitu
tion.
Montgomery, Nov. 10.—Latest re
turns indicate that tho Constitution

Lutl.oril In tin* (drove at I,n*l.
Montreal, Can., Nov. 10.— The re
mains were borne from the Protes
tant cemetery at 10:30 a. m. to-day,
followed by about half a dozen car
riages containing the members of the
In titute. Superintendent Boisscau
was the only officer of the Institute
present. The friends of M. Doutre
having insisted upon his remaining
away. The hearse was drawn by two
black horses. The top was mounted
by a fine cross. The hearse was pre
ceded by a strong detachment of po
lice, under the command of Chief
Benton. They were followed by the
military, who walked four abreast.
About 11 a. m. there was a large crowd
of French Canadians in the vicinity
of the Roman Catholic cemetery. Va
rious remarks were made, that they
could bring his accursed remains, but
they could not keep them there. The
procession soon arrived, headed by
tho police, and entered the church
yard gates without opposition. A
large crowd followed behind until the
cortege reached Guibord’s grave.
The hearse drove into the circle, and
three laborers lowered the coffin con
taining the remains, which were very
light, into the grave, the bottom of
which was laid in cement. Just as
the coffin was being lowered, some
astonishment was caused by the ap
pearance of tlie Cure, Rousselot, of
the Roman Catholic Church, whose
name, it will be remembered, figured
prominently in all the law suits in
connection with this affair. He asked
Superintendent Boisseau:
"How deep is the grave dug?”
Boisseau replied, “four feet,”
He then asked Boisseau “if he could
identify the remains as those of Jo
seph Guibord?”
On Boisseau'a replying that he
could, the Cure took his departure.
The military were stopped by May
or Hingston, at St. Jean, a Baptist
i village, and did not enter the ceme
tery, as he considered their doing so
might be looked upon as a desecra
tion.
As soon as the coffin was lowered,
six men commenced filling it in with
Portland and Roman cement. This
hardens very quick, and after twelve
I hours can only be chopped out with
the greatest difficulty. The Mayor
has refused to keep a guard at the
grave until the danger is over, and
members of the Institute say that to
place a civil guard there would he to
invite a riot. It is thought by some
I that an attempt may be made during
j the night to remove the remains.
The military have been withdrawn
and disbanded. A heavy rain fell
during the ceremony.

night last night J. J. Dowling, cotton
yard clerk, got into a street oar while
intoxicated, refused to pay tho fare,

Prciwrat lon* for a Demonstration on

Washington, Nov. 10.—For the last
three months the labor leagues of the
District have been making prepara
tions for a grand demonstration in
honor of the assembling of the 44th
Congress. It was at first determined
to confine the demonstration to the
labor leagues alone, but as the mat
ter progressed it was found necessary
to enlarge the programme so as to
make the reception one of general
interest.
At u meeting of the delegates of the
Labor Leagues, held at their head
quarters last ovening, thore being
also present tho representatives of
fifteen outside organizations, it was
resolved to extend an invitation to all
tho societies and the citizens in gen
eral of the entire District to take part
in the demonstration. This was done
by a unanimous vote, and commit
tees appointed to wait on the officers
of the different organizations for that
purpose,

Reported Cabinet ebonite Denied.
Washington, Nov. 16. —A gentle
man who lias every opportunity to
ascertain the facts in the case states
that tlie rumored change in the Cabi
net by the retirement of Postmaster
General Jewell lias no foundation in
fact. Not hing has occurred between
the President and Mr. Jewell that
would make such a result at all prob
able. It is now certain that the
statement published here and else
where that a Cabinet change was im
minentwasa falsehood manufactured
out of whole cloth.
The Plymouth Church Cose.
Brooklyn, Nov. 16.— Much interest
is felt in church circles here as to
whether Mrs. Moulton will be suc
cessful in her efforts at securing a
council of churches on the question
of her dismissal from Plymouth
Church, and of allowing her oppor
tunity to substantiate her charges
contained in the recent letter to Ply
mouth members. If a couneil is
called, it will most probably be ex
parte, as Plymouth would refuse to
join in the call.
The Monitor Cataklll.
Washington, Nov. 1G. —All the
available force in the department
of steam engineering at the Wash
ington navy yard was set to work
