Judge Howell Cohb says that at no distant day Athens is destined to become one of the greatest manufac turing centres of the State. The flow of Northern capital southward, says the J udge, will in twenty years utiliza to their full capacity every water power within a radius of thirty miles of Athens, and the natural output of money in that territory, which a bounds in water power and of which Athens is the geographical centre, will easily run its population to 25,- 000 people.

I A woman with a disproportion ate large foot is by common consent I entitled to pity. But it is net the ’ size of the foot which good taste ob- * jects to, but its relation to the rest of the body. A large woman with the tiny foot of a girl would be as dis- > proportionate as the small woman with a large foot. What is known in the market as the No. 1 boot can- > not by any means be made to go up ; on the foot of any woman whose physical proportions bear any com parison with those of the Venus de Medici, which is the representation of a large and voluptuous woman. Women who wear the No. 1 bootaro petite, vivacious, pert, pretty, any thing you like, but they are not the ; Mediciao type. Large women, says ‘ a well-known artist and expert, must have feet that, to be beautiful, would be very ug’y on a smaller woman. . The No. 1 boot is, to a large extent, a female hallucination.

Special.— Amirtg the lumbermen, whose camps hive been pitched in the A roostook regions this winter and spring, is one in charge of a Cana dian, one Chanfrau, a handsome youiiT man wh » enjoys a joke, espe cially if the Yankees are the butt of it. About six weeks ag > the st rv was cin-u1 that (.’haufran and hi men had O'>»keJ and ea'en a mal” child, the bones of which were said to have been hidden in a hollow pine near Chanfrau’scamp. Three ofthe Maine lumbermen, who spoke French heard the rumor and went to Chanfrau’s camp to investigate the matter. Chanfrau in some way discovered their purpose and so h« and one oi his m.*n held several consultations to which, ns fir as pos sible, they attached an air of mystery One night the Maine lumbermen went to the supposed tree-sepulchre and instead of the bones of a chiid they found carefully sewed into an old blanket tlu» body of a dead skunk to which a card was pinned liearing the words, “Yankee trap” In the morning the inv stigators were gone. James Jackson, of Georgia, who had been and afterward was a Uni ted States Senator, was the challeng ed party. He was an Englishman by biylh. He killed Lieut. Gov. Wells, of Georgia, in a duel, and he flnaliy determined to accept a chal lenge on such terms as would make it his last duel. So upo i his next • challenge, which was from CoL R. Watkins, also from Georgia, he pre scribed as the terms that each party, arme I with a double-barreled gun , loaded with buck-shot and with a hunting knife, shovl I row himself in a skifftoade-ignated point on op ( posile sides of the Savannah river. JVuen the city clock struck 12 each ( should row Ins skiff to a small island in the middle of the river, which was wooded and covered with uq ler . brush. Ou arriving at tho island j each was to moor his skiff, stand . about for ten minutes, and then go t about the island until the meeting s took place. The seconds waited on j the mainland until after 1 o’clock, B when they heard three gun shots and e angry cries; then all was still. At B daylight, as had been agreed on, the j ; seconds went to the island and found R ; Jackson lyir.g on the ground in»en n ; sible from the loss us blood, and his I I antagonist 1> ing across him dead. | Jackson recovered, but would never relate his experience on the island, gjnorwssbe ever challenged again. a ; He died in B'ashingtou city, while e serving his second term as a Sena -1 ! tor, March 19,1806. e J For Sale. -1 One of the moat convenient and s j boat arranged dwellings in the town , I Douglasvili.

Young, formerly f of Baltimore.” This notice, which . appeared in the Bahimors Sun a few , days ago, records the close of a life which was full of adventure and ro mance. Capt. James Z. Young was a native of England, but came to ■ Baltimore when a boy. His first emp’oyment was in tbe service ofthe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com , pany. He was for some years a i baggage master between Baltimore But be possessed a daring nature, which dangerous en terprises attracted. Tbe spirit of adventure led him West while still a young man, and he became an inti mate and comrade of the great In dian scout and hunter, Kit Carson. One of Capt. Young’s feats at that time was a ride of 226 miles from Fort Laramie to the nearest military station, which he made on horseback in 3 days, unparalled speed over such a route as he traveled. In telling the story’ ot this ride to his friends he said his half-wild coursers fl w like the wind over prairie and through forest. He rode down three horses io making the run, taking the saddle and bridle off the exhausted steed, and iransforring them to another which be caught. The second horse gave out as they reached the bank of a small creek, on the opposite side of which he saw horses grazing. He bad to carry the saddle over his own shoulders, wading t e creek, and catching a fresh horse. The time was about 1856. Soon after he wascaptuied by the Com anchee, and lived with them three years,' conforming to their Indian ways and making himself a popular favorite until a chance to escape of fered, when he bolted. The begin ning of tbe war found him in Texas. He had bad enough of exciting times, howevei, for a few year*, and it was not tjli the last year of the war that Im abandonvd pursuits of peace and became a Texas ranger. After the war be went to Mexico, and for over eftf IV he whs the Stea ly and i‘lialileT,ravtdidg inspector of the M xieoand Vera Cruz Railroad. At the wreck of a train 14 years ago, by t ie breaking through of a bridge near the City of Mexico, which was a terrible acciden’, attended with great loss »»f life, he saved many wo men and children, plunging into tbe water and snatching them half drown cd from tbe wrecked cars in the wa ler. Re contracted rheumatism and other ai ments by bis exposure on this occasion, and his healtii was never robust afterwards. About six year® ago the train on which he was running was attacked by robbers. A doz nor more greasers, as the low est Mexicans are called, got aboard in the City of Mexico, and a few miles out they slipped the eng.ne from the passenger and baggage cars, stopping them, an I plundered from the express car $68,000 in sil ver. They killed the conduct r and left, Capt. Young for dead, felled by a wou d on tbe bead from a butt of a musket. At another li no the train robbers made a noose of a tele graph wire aroun I his neck and were about to bang him. He was sure bis last hour had come, and when they taunted him with fearing death in that way he told them it was all one whether he “was bange I or shot, tor death soon c n mes to all.” The rob bers a Imire l his stocism and spared bis life. Tbe Captain of the band j is now. it is said, in a good position under the Mexican Government,train robbing having been nearly put down by the present government, and there being less profit and safety iu it than formerly. Capt. Young left a Mexican wife, to whom be willed his property, and bis mother and brother, W. H. Young, live at the brother being passenger conductor on the Painsville and Youngtown 1 Railroad. •He was formerly a con ductor on the Baltimore and Ohio, between Baltimore and Washington, and be has railroaded in India and Africa. He has just returned from Mexico, which he visited on the death of bis brother. He thinks the mines, railroads and other business in that country offer a fine opening for American enterprise. NOTICE.

James Hix has just been sentenced . io Carrol] county to (en years in the chaingang. On the night of Nov. 8 1 last James Hix boarded a freight train at Bremen, on the Georgia ‘ Pacific Railroad, for Temple, where t he got oft and into the depot and re mained from 7 to 11 o.clock. He ( was under the influence of liquor and ( endeavored to raise a difficulty with Mr. Harper, the agent, sever if times, i but did not succeed. At 11:20 o,clock • the east-bound passenger train ar rived and Mr. Harper went out t<> receive the mail and express, as was his custom, followed by Hix. As ; ter receiving the mail and a package of money he started back to tbe depot just as the train moved off. He had put out his lantern in order to get rid of Hix. When near the depot he heard some one following him, and in an instant some one caught hold of his arm and told him to come back out. Mr. Harper was on the platform. He replied, or rather asked Hix, for he it to turn him loose. Hix again said, “No, come back out here.” Harper turned around partially and there he beheld Hix with an uplifed knife, and before he could siy a word the knife, descended, sinking to the hilt in Mr. Harper’s left eye Hix then jerked him out on the ground and stabbed him four times more, liar per succeeded in getting up, raised an alarm a.id a party soon had Hix ar rested. A severe storm of Wind hail and rain swept over the northern and middle portions of Stewart comity Friday night. Hou es and fences were blown down, and extensive lev ees on the Cal’ochee valley were broken as high up as the Hightower place. No damage was done to the bottoms on the latter place, but all the preparations for planting below this pointwill have to be made again. The planters on Grass creek valley have suffered in like manner. This is the third year of disaster to the vallej’ farmers by reason of floods. —'B'lteny trees con be transplanted trotn the woodsy lifts can be done in the tall or the spring.
