THE SAVANNAH RECORDER.
Wednesday, February 19, 1879.
GEORGIA NEWS.
Augusta will celebrate the 22d with
a grand military parade.
Mrs. Wright, a well known milliner
of Macon, died quite suddenly on Sat¬
urday. Dublin Post,
Cotton picking, says the
is in full blast at Mr. Fuller’s, two miles
below here.
The Bainbridge Democrat announces
the death of Mr. Geo. Dickinson, near
Bainbridge. He was one of Decutur’s
most worthy citizens.
Mr. David Duck is the oldest man in
Muscogee, being now in his ninety- good,
fourth year. His health is still
and if his eyesight were not so greatly about
impaired, he would be able to go
with the ease and activity of a younger
man.
Two curiosities : There lives says
the Dublin Post, within two miles of
here a lady who has “passed the Cape
of Good Hope,” but has never had a
dream in her life. Within the same
distance, but of another family, lives a
young man who took a “square bait”
of old broken dishes, spoons, forks, etc.
when he was a boy, but they didn’t
hurt him.
The Horn Family Illness.
The death of Mrs. Horn, and the se¬
rious illness of her daughter and son
in-law and their servant girl, as sup¬
posed from the exceedingly rare disease,
trichinosis, have created a small panic
among pork eaters. The attending
physician said that all of the patients
were particularly fond of pork, fresh,
dried, raw and cooked, and on the
Thursday Sunday afternoon preceding taken the
on which the family were
sick, their d : er co is ; ed of two and
a half pourds of iresh roast ham and
one pound of pork chops. For supper
the family partook of a portion of four
and a half pounds of raw smoked ham,
of which Mrs. Horn and Mr. and Mrs.
Griefeldt ate heartily. Only a small
portion of ths ham remained on a plate
for Henrietta Dier, the servant girl,
aged al iut 16 ye;.rs. It was rolled up
in brown paper and hung up in the
bath room. Next day it was eaten in
its raw state at breakfast and dinner.
Mrs. Horn and Mr. and Mrs. Griefeldt
wore taken sick on Saturday, but it
was not until the Tuesday morning fol¬
lowing that the servant girl, who had
partaken of a smaller portion of the
pork than any of the others, was pros¬
trated. The four patients were all af¬
fected alike, and the symptoms were
all those accompanying animal poison¬
ing. Tne patients were all much better
yesterd y, and there is not much doubt
about their recovery.
Henrietta Dier, the servant girl, is
lying at the residence of her sister at
410 Atlantic avenue. She described
her symptoms yesterday afternoon very
clearly. She can hardly bend her arms
one way or the other, and occasionally
she is tormented with shooting pains
in her feet as if ping and needles were
being stuck into them. From time to
time there is a ringing in her ears, re¬
sembling the sensation caused by a
passing railroad train. Her physician
takes a different view of her case from
that entertained by the other physicians,
and is treating her for malarial fever.
When spoken to in reference to the
suspected pork, and she said it was very
palatable, have that she would gladly
eaten more if it had not been the
old lady, Mrs. Horn, tied it up and put it
iu the closet. Sanitary officers are to
be sent to day to the various pork deal¬
ers of the city for samples of tneir pork,
and the Board of Health will have them
analyzed, There was a general absence
of pork from Brooklyn tables yesterday.
— New York Sun.
Had to be Material.—A young
man, a candidate for a license as a local
preacher, recently preached a speci¬
men sermon before the quarterly con¬
ference, in which he said that, while
the body was material and would
perish, the soul was immaterial. One
of the official brethren objected peremp¬
torily to his license, for the reason that
he had uttered the “strangest doctrine
he ever heard from the pulpit,” for he
had declared “the soul was immaterial
—a thing of no value—when the Bible
says it is worth more than the whole
world.”
Beautiful and True.— Flowers are
not trifles, as one might know from
the pains God has taken with them
everywhere; not one unfinished, not
one bearing the marks of brush or pen¬
cil. Fringing the eternal borders of
mountain winters, gracing the pulseless j
heart of gray old granite, everywhere j
they ordinarily are charming. Murderers do not !
wear roses in their button- 1
holes. \ illains seldom train vines over •
cottage doors. Flowers are for the j
young and the old, for the grave and
the gay, the living and the dead ; for 1
all but the guilty, and for them when ■
they are penitent.
Matrimony as a Paying Institu¬
tion. —“Every man should provide t
liberally for his family,” says Mr. 1
Smith. .. Ever since my marriage I
have kept my wife surrounded provided by with fine a
•ewing-machine, mirror.” What is the mirror a for?"
., ;
inquired a party present, "Well,” said
’ her that when she
th or tcie, “I tell
ge,: so lazy that she can t run the ma
uh ae she can sit still and see herself
starve to death. tf
Arresting the Man that Saved
his Life. —As the New York express,
which leaves President street depot at
9:55 a. m., was passing out Canton av¬
enue yesterday, one of the officers of
the train signaled to Policeman Gor¬
don, who was standing near Broad¬
way, to come aboard. He wanted the
policeman to arrest a colored man
named Edwin Green for unlawfully
riding on the cars, Officer Gordon
attempted to board the train, which
was moving rapidly, when one of his
hands missed the rail and he hung by
one hand. He would have been un
der the cars in a few moments had not
Green caught him by the collar and
held him until he recovered his footing.
The policeman then arrested Green
and took him to the Eastern Station
house, before Justice Farlow. Here
he preferred the charge, but added that
“the man ’saved my life,” in consider¬
ation of which the Justice dismissed
the charge.— Baltimore Gazette, Feb. 11,
How Mrs. Senator Bruce Crossed
the Color Lute. — Mrs. Senator
Bruce yesterday put the social problem
to the test. It appears that among the
ladies of the Riggs House, one of the
fashionable hotels, two of them called
at Mrs. Bruce’s residence some time
ago and left their cards, All the
ladies of the hotel receive on Monday
together in the public parlor. Yester¬
day, when the reception was at its
zenith, Mrs. Senator Bruce, accompa¬
nied by a lady friend, as dark as Ere¬
bus, w 7 ere shown into the parlor. Sing¬
ling out the twain who had kindly left
their cards with her, she engaged them
in conversation some few minutes and
then left. The other ladies thought tna^ the
episode shocking—not so much
Mrs. Bruce had called, as the fact that
she allowed her dusky friend to accom¬ color
pany her. She was too much off
to be squeezed through tony society,
although the Senator’s bride is nearly
white.— Washington {special Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Rich and rare were the gems she
wore,” is a fashionable tune in San
Francisco. There is a lady at one of
the leading hotels who never appears
in the dining room with less than from
$25,000 to $50,000 worth of diamonds
on her person. There is another lady
at another hotel who wears a pair of
solitaire earrings worth $50,000. They
belonged to the collection of jewels of
Queen Isabella of Spain, and were pur¬
chased at auction in Paris. These two
stones were bought for $24,600.
Another lady with a brooch shaped
like a fern leaf and glittering with
fifty or a hundred diamonds is esti¬
mated as having a superficial value of
from $15,000 to $20,000. Some thieves
recently crept into a lady’s room at a
hotel while she was dining with her
husband. They ransacked trunks and
drawers and obtained a watch and
chain and some coin. But they got no
diamonds. The lady had gone down
to dinner with every jewel glittering in
her toilet.
How to Extinguish Chimney
Fires. Mr. Queynet, a French chem
ist, recommends, as a means for rapidly
extinguishing fires in chimneys, that
about 100 grammes (1,543 grains troy,
or be 21 pounds) of sulphuret of carbon
burned upon the hearth. The best
way to burn the sulphuret is to turn
it out of a broad tin plate, It
ignites at once, burns rapidly, and pro¬
duces great volumes of the noxious
sulphuric acid gas which extinguishes
flames at once. The sulphuret of car¬
bon, a liquid combination of sulphur
and carbon, should be kept in large
bottles, to allow for its great expansion.
In Paris the firemen, by using this
compound as directed, in three months
extinguished 251 fires out of 319, and
that, too, without needing to go upon
roofs or deranging apartments in any
way.
How Lincoln Got His Pass Re¬
newed. — The Bloomington (111.)
Pantagraph the says : “Here’s a souvenir
of great Abraham Lincoln. It is a
true copy of a letter on file among the
archives of the Chicago and Alton road,
at the superintendent’s office at Bloom¬
ington. It is a modest request for the
renewal of a season pass on the Alton
road :
Morgan, “Springfield , Feb. ^3, 1858.—R. P.
Dear Sir Supt. C. & A. Railroad.—
old : Says Sam to John : ‘Here’s
our rotten wheelbarrow. I’ve
roke it usin’ on it. I wish you would
take it and mend it, case I shall want
to borrow it this afternoon.’ Acting on
this as a precedent, here’s your old
‘chalked hat.’ I wish you would take
it and send me a new one, case I shall
want to use it the 1st of March.
Yours, truly, A. Lincoln.
