Carrying Pistols.
A Georgia Judge’s Way of Enforcing the
Law.
[From the Nashville American.]
Our reform legislature, among the
many good things that it proposes to do
for the people, is trying, I believe, to
amend the Ikw in reference to carrying
pistols. A prominent Georgian told
me an incident the other day that may
be of interest, and which he assures me
actually occurred: The Georgia has a strin¬
gent pistol law, penalty is for¬
feiture of the pistol, a fine of fifty dul
lars, and, at the discretion of the court,
imprisonment for thirty days. A short
time after this law went into effect,
Judge Lester was holding court in one
of the mountain counties of north
Georgia, and, right in the midst of the
trial of a cause, he asked the attorneys
to suspend a few momenta, and told the
sheriff to lock the court house door and
let no man pass out without permis¬
sion from him. Then said the judge in
his firm, decided way: “Gentlemen, I
saw a pistol on a and man I in this room a
lew moments ago, cannot recon¬
cile it to my sense of duty as a peace
officer to let such a violation of the law
pass unnoticed. It may be that it is
my duty to go before the grand jury
and indict him, but it that man will
walk up to this stand and lay his pistol
v and a fine ot one dollar down here, I
will let him off this time; otherwise I
will go before the grand jury and testi¬
fy against him.”
The judge paused, down and an attorney
who was sitting just before the
stand got up, drew slipped his hand in his
handled hip pocket, Smith Wesson out a neat ivory
& six-shooter,
and laid it and a dollar down before
the judge. all right,”
“This is remarked the
judge, “but you »rc not the man that I
saw with the pistol.”
At this another attorney, sitting im¬
mediately iu front of the judge, got up,
and, drawing out a small Colt's revol¬
ver, laid it and a dollar bill upon the
stand.
“This is right again,” said the judge,
“but you are not the man I speak of.”
Thereupon, a large man just
of the bai walked around, ran his hand
in his bosom, and, drawing out a
old army pistol, laid it and a
on the stand.
“I declare,” continued the judge,
this don’t beat all; you have done
my friend, but you are not the man
that 1 saw with the pistol.”
This process went on until nineteen
pistols and nineteen dollars were
on the judge’s and appeared stand. Then there was
a pause, it as if the crowd
was pretty well disarmed, at least,
there were any more did pistols in
house their owners not seem
posed “Gentlemen,” to give them resumed up.
the
“here are nineteen persons who
acted like men in this business, but
man that I saw with the pistol has not
come up yet, and now,” continued he,
pulling out his watch and looking
ward the far side of the Court House,
“I will give him one minute to accept
my proposition, that, time, 1 and it he doe* not do
it- iu will point him out
thc sherifi and order him to take him
into custody. '
Immediately the two men from the hack

stopped and looked at each other, ana

A Man Swallows His False Teeth.
After Doing Seven Weeks Without Food
Dies.
[Prom the*Philadelphia Times.]
About eight weeks ago Levi Wag
genseller, an employe in Wood’s Cotton
Factory, at Twenty-fourth and Hamil¬
ton streets, near the Fairmount Water
Works, and thirty^eight years of age,
entered a Chestnut street restaurant and
ordered a supper. Waggenseller had
three false teeth. For nearly twenty
years the small plate which held these
teeth in place in the upper jaw had
done service without causing its owner
a single ache or pain, and the teeth
bad performed the functions laid upon
them as faithfully as could have been
desired in teeth of any sort. Waggen¬
seller sat down to his meal in the res¬
taurant, and had about half finished it
when he felt something going down hie
throat, giving him intense pain, which
thought was a bone. He was soon un¬
deceived, however, for, his hand flying
instinctively to his mouth, he found his
false teeth were gone. Plate and all
had gone down his throat, and he could
feet them lodged against his breast.
That was the last meal Waggenseller
ever ate.
Alarmed at the probable and conse¬
quences, he took up his hat went
to his home in Hestonville. The teeth
remained in the lower portion of his
throat, causing him at times severe
pain. He could eat no solid food ; he
Louohed nothing for two days, when he
ate a little bread and milk. On the
third day he went out to the University
Hospital to consult Dr. Agnew. The
physician examined him, doubting at
first whether he had swallowed the
teeth. Upon being assured he had he
seemed to have little hope for tfle pa¬
tient. Dr. Stewart was called upon to
visit the patient on the fifth day after
the occurrence. He advised him to
take a swallow of giu as the readiest
still means of dislodging the teeth, which
remained in the throat, The pa¬
tient followed his advice, and almost
immediately this felt the teeth going down,
but only led to a worse result. The
teeth moved down and lodged about
one inch and a half above the entrance to
'he stomach. Had they passed into the
stomach, according to medical authori¬
ty, thfc chief danger in the case would
have been over. But lodging as they
d ; d the patient could swallow nothing,
not even milk or water. It was abso¬
lutely impossible to get anything down
his throat.
Milk was recommended, but when it
would be poured down as soon as the
glues would be removed from his lips it
would come back, exuding from the
ears, eyes, mouth and nostrils. The
strangest of all was what iollowed.
The man lived for seven weeks without
swallowing a morsel of food or drop of
water. From a stout, hearty man,
weighing probably 190 pounds, he
dwindled away to a mere skeleton
His hands became horrible to look at
by reason of their loss of flesh.
Strangely enough, too, all this time the
man, whu was perfectly conscious and
rational, had no appetite, no craving
for food. The smell of victuals, he said
made him sick. From the time he
went t,o his sister’s house, four days
alter the accident, he had not stood on
his feet, lying alternately on a bed and
in an invalid's chair. Operation with an
instrument was suggested by his physi¬
cian, but this his sister would not, con¬
sent to, unless assurance could be
given that it would result in saving his
life. This, of course, the physician
could not promise, and no such opera¬
tion was tried. After being for over
seven weeks without food Waggenseller
died, death resulting from inanition , or,
in other words, starvation.

SAVANNAH TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 1879.
BY TELEGRAPH.
Death of Sliere All.
POLITICAL CRISIS IN FRANCE.
THE WAR IN AFRICA .
LAWLESSNESS IN KENTUCKY.
London, March 3.—The Viceroy of
India telegraphs as follows: “Gen.
Stewart reports that Gen. Biddulph’s
rear guard was attacked at Khushie
Nokuhd by two thousand Alizai,
Duranes. The enemy was repulsed
with a loss of one hundred and fifty
and pursued till nightfall.”
A dispatch from Athens states that
the Greek Government has been in¬
formed that France is about to notify
the Porte that unless it consents to
negotiate on the basis of the treaty of
Berlin, France will advise Greece to
withdraw her commissioners and ap¬
peal to the powers.
The Times , in an editorial article
says: “Yakoob Khan will probably
succeed Shere Ali. Once he is firmly
established on the throne of Afghanis¬
tan it would be the policy of the In¬
dian Government to recognize as de
facto ruler, and meet favorably any
advances he may make with a view to
a termination of the war. His letter
announcing his father’s death seems to
give proof of a disposition to come to
terms.
A Paris dispatch to the Times says :
“Monday’s sitting of the Chamber of
Deputies may have great importance
and serious consequences. The question
whether the government is resolved
to defend the police against the attacks
of the extreme Lett. It it does it will
gain strength from the adhesion of all
the moderate and a great majority of
the country. If it continues to sacrifice
high functionaries to rancor and
calumny, it will certainly run the risk
of a dangerous reaction.
Reno, Nevada, March 3.—A fire
yesterday destroyed the entire business
portion of the town. The loss is esti¬
mated at one million dollars, with ouly
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
insurance. Five persons were burned
to death.
Portland, March 3.—The munici¬
pal election here to-day resulted as fol¬
low e : For Mayor Wm. Senter, Repub
lican, 2,916; Geo. Walker, Democrat
Greenback combination, 2,733; Fred¬
erick Fox, Independent, 57; SenterT
majority, 26.
Cincinnati, March 3.—The Deputy
United States Marshal of the Sixth
District of Kentucky on Saturday night
levied upon a freight train on the
Flemingsburg and Pound Gap Railroad
in an attachment suit and switched it
off on a side track at Johnson’s Junc¬
tion, placing a guard over it. This
morning a band of armed men came
up from and Flemingsburg, overpowered
the gnard took the train away.
About Ants. Ants know one
another when they meet, but do not
make anything like a formal salute nor
do they exchange the compliments of
the season. Sir John Lubbock has dis¬
proved the sign or password theory
very ingeniously. He took pubse from
various nests and gave to some of them
attendants from their own nest and to
others attendants from a different nest
of the same species, so that if they were
taught any sign or password the ants
thus trained would know the sign
their nurse's nest and not that ot their
own, except when the nurse had been
taken from their own nest. Then he
restored some of them to their own nest
aud put others in their nurse’s nest. Of
j those back to brought their up by nest, friends and taken at
own none were
i tacked but all were welcomed.
| those brought up by strangers of the
i same species and taken back to then
j own nest, thirty-seven were welcome
seven brought were apparently attack'
Of those up by strangers of t
same specie- and put into the nest o;
j those strangers, none were welcomed,
but all were attacked. The inference
that ants of the same nest recognize
j one another, but not by any sign or
password—probably unknown by some smell or
some sense quite toman.

“And the Bride Wept.”—A
who was to have been married in
Rochester could not get nearer than
within forty mile* of the city at the
I pointed time, in conseque'nce of the
[party .now blockade. The assembled wedding
was informed by telegram of the
S trouble. A suggestion that the
mony be performed by telegraph
j favorably received by the bride, and
j the usual questions and answers were
flashed over the wire*. It was fun for
• the guests in the warm Rochester parlor,
but the bridegroom, shivering ah n:g at
‘joy j iu a cold car, did not particularly
*
it, aud the bride wept.
The Genuine Arabian Horse.
The pure-bread Bedouin horse stands
from fourteen to fifteen hands in
height, the difference mainly depend¬
ing on the country in which he is bred,
and the amount of good food he is
given when a colt. In shape he is like
our English thoroughbred, his bastard
cousin, but with certain differences.
The expected, principal of these is, as might be
in the head, for where there
is a mixture of blood, the head almost
always follows the least beautiful type
of the ancestors. Thus, every horse
with a cross of Spanish blood will re¬
tain the heavy head of that breed,
though he have but one-sixte, nth part
of it to fifteen of a better stiain.
The head of the Arabian is larger
in proportion than that of the English
thoroughbred, the chief difference lying
in the depth of the jowl. the width This between is very
marked—as is also
the cheek-bones, where the English
horse is very defective, to the cost of
his windpipe. The ears are fine and
beautifully shaped, but and not mild, very the small.
The eyes are large fore¬
head prominent, as in horses of the
Touchstone blood with us, and the
muzzle fine—sometimes almost pinched.
Compared lish with the Arabian, Roman-nosed. the Eng¬ The
head, thoroughbred is
too—and this, perhaps, the most
distinguishing feature—is set on at a
different angle. When I returned to
England, the thoroughbreds seemed to
me to hold their heads as if tied in
with a bearing-rein, and to have no
throat whatever—the cause, perhaps,
of that tendency to rearing so common
with them.
The neck of the Arabian horse is
light, them and I have never seen among
anything approaching to the the
crest given, by his picture, to
Godolphin Arabian. The shoulder is
good, as good as in our own horses, and
the wither is often as high, although
from the greater height of the hind
quarter this is not so apparent. The
forearm in the best specimens is of
great strength, the muscle standing
out with extraordinary prominence.
The back is shorter than it is in our
thoroughbreds, and the barrel rounder.
The Arabian is well ribbed up. He
stands higher at the croup than at the
wither. The tail is set on higher, but
not, as I have heard some people say,
on a level with the croup. Indeed, the
jumping-bone, to use an Irish phrase,
is often very prominent, The tail is
carried high, both walking and gallop¬
ing, and this point is much looked to
as a sign of breeding. I have seen
mares gallop with their tails as straight
as a colt’s, and fit, as the Arabs say, to
hang your cloak on.
The hind-quarter is another much narrower
than in our horses, point ol
breeding, which indicates speed rather
than strength. The line of the hind
quarter is finer, the action freer, and
tne upper limb longer in proportion
than in the English race-horse, The
hocks are larger, better let down, and
not so straight. The cannon bone is
shorter. The legs are strong, but with
less bone in proportion than back sinew.
This last is perhaps the finest point ol
the Arabian, in whom a “breakdown’ -
seldom or never occurs. The bones of
the pasteru joints are fine, sometimes
loo fine for strength, and the pastern
itself is long even to weakness. Its
length is a point much regarded by
the Arabs as a sign of speed. The
hoofs are round and large and very
hard; though, from the barbarous
method of shoeing and paring the foot
practiced by the desert blacksmith, a
stranger might doubt this. The toe is
°ften . cut ludicrously short, out ol
economy, to save tmquent shoeing. ^
ihe only defect ol the Arabian, as a
race horse, compared with our own, is
i his small size. Inch for inch, there
can be no question which is the faster
horse.
Trotting is discouraged by the Be¬
douin colt-breakers. No pure-bred
Arabian is a h'gh-stepper. His style
,
of g.iiioping is long and low, the coun
tp I t ol our English thoroughbreds.
