Tlie Aged Tramp.
The lady of a Cottage Hill house,
the nurse girl and cook, held a brief
consul ation, and concluded that an old
man whose toes stuck a rod out of his
boots, and the crown of whose summer
hat was held by a hinge of straw aud
flapped up and down in the wind, dis
closing the fact that the aged wearer
was bald, very bald, must be really wor
thy, and they invited him to a seat in
the kitchen while his breakfast was be
ing prepared. The fragrance of the
i r yi o g_pan revived the drooping spirits
of the aged tramp, and unlocked the
streams of conversation which the cold
charities of lhe world had frozen up.
Tilting his chair back he said :
“The people of the oil regions ap
pear to get along right slick. Every
where I have been, things look com
fortable and homedike, and business
seems to be crowding right ahead.”
With that as a starter, the old man
carried the conversation through Stale
and national politics, religion, litera
ture, eto.
“I like my meat well done,” he sug
gested to the cook, who he observed
was preparing to lift his steak from the
stove ; “and that reminds me,” he went
on, “that the Russians are pursuing au
undor-done, wishy-washy course on the
banks of the Danube.”
He tightened the cord that held his
coat together in lieu of buttons, flapped
an ear to unseat a troublesome fly, and
continued:
“Dog my cals if it doesn’t make me
half mad at the Czar. If I had com
mand of that army, do you know what
I would do ?” and he shut one eve and
glared at the lady of the house as in
quiringly as a catechism.
No one seemed to know.
“I would push right ac-oss,” ex
claimed the old man, striking the sink
with his fist, “And if I wouluu’t mako
them greasy Turks hunt their* holes
there’s no hcroafker. All it requires is
a pontoon bi idgo and a. little git up and
go 'long Mary Jane.”
His breakfast was ready, and thrust
ing bis legs under the table with the
air of a man who had just bought the
house and lot and paid the money down,
he harpooned a roasted potato and con
tinued :
“Old Ilopandgofetchit, who has com
maud of the Russian Zouaves, is in
the best position in the world to skip
right along into Const r.ptinop'e and take
possession of tnc Court-house. I would
do it —( swear to grac.ous I would do
it,” and he reached out and captured a
hard-boiled egg. “I would do it so
quick it would make their eve ’lasting
heads swim. Then I would take a rua
ac-oss the Mediler; anc-o ; flop down on
the Suez canal boa s, tear up the -ow,
path and take possession of the mules.
Then across the county to the Gull of
Mexico. I would flv as the hu* ricane,
leaving death and desolation in my—
see here. Sesm,” he f -d, b easing
sho't and addressing the nurse-girl,
“for Lhe love of heaven, don’t hold iffie
baby with his head down.”
Tho old gent continued to draw in
the victual like a man who hadn't tes
ted a bite for six months, aad talking
in a wav (o turn a book-agent green
witw envv. He told tho women what
Congress ought to do when it meeu3,
and finally shoved away rom the table,
wiped his lios on the cloth and asked
if they had a pair of old pants that
wasn’t bagged at the knees. The pan-s
were hunted up and handed to him by
the lady of tho house, who in turn ask
ed if ho would go out iuto the garden
patch and kill a few potato-bugs for
her.
“Potato-bugs,” he said, as he gala
ered up his bat and passed to tho door,
“potato-bugs are something with which
I have had no experience* I don’t
know one from a jay bird. Dut a
friend of mine will be along here about
noon who can kill more potato-bugs in
a minute than you can shake a stick at.
I'll leave a chalk mark on the gate-post
and ne will call. Ta ta,” and the aged
tramp hipped his hat gayly and was
off, his stomach sticking out in >ront
of him like a bay window. — Oil City

Shooting Turkish Spies.
One of my colleagues wbo was at
Giurgevo when the affair took place
gave me an account tf an incident
which will explain the extreme oircuam
speotion nocessary in the granting of
tho much-ooveled permission to follow
the operations of the army of invasion.
The country swarms with spies in Tur
kish pay ; these are generally Israelites,
of whom great numbers accompany the
rear guards of tho columns as sutlers
or peddlers. Two of theso worthies had
rendered themselves very conspicuous
for their übiquity and inquisitiveness.
Natura'ly they were suspected and
watched, and on Sunday night were ar
rested as they were about to embark in
a small boat on tho Danube for some
unknown destination. Taken immedi*
ately before the Provost Marshal, and
interrogated as to their intentions, their
answers, at first evasive, gradually be
came embarrassed, as they had no pa.
pers, and the excuse that they “were
going to fish for sterlets by torchlights”
was not considered an available one. —
At last the younger of the two, a feL
low about twenty years of age, hoping,
doubtless, to save his own life by the
sacrifice of his comrade, avowed that
they had receiyed money from the
Turks, and that, in spite of the inun
dations, they had intended to cross the
Danube in order to make their report
to a person posted at a certain point on
the Bulgarian shore. Thu was quite
sufficient to establish g"'lt j the
/ / " V.
♦ ( v.
court-martial pronounced its sentence,
and a platoon of execution was then
and there detailed. According to my
informant the behavior of the two cul
prits was very different. The elder of
the two, a man about forty, tall and
powerlully built, with strongly marked
features, marched out with a stoicism
worthy of a better fate. His company
ion, on the contrary, was the picture pf
(he most abject despair. He threw
himself at the feet of his Judges, in
voked their compassion in favor of the
revelations which he had made, called
upon Abraham and Isaac and the
prophets in general to help him, even
offered to abjure his faith if his life
were spared, and fell upon h‘s face and
writhed like a reptile, until he
was carried out bodily and tied to a
tree, where be continued his howls and
lamentations in a guttural jargon of
Hebrew, German and Turkish, until a
bullet sent him into another world.—
The other walked out boldly and with
out a remonstrance. He gave a glance
of unutterable contempt at his coward
ly accomplice, put his back against a
stake, and then, for the first lime open
ing his lips, said with a sneer that he
had already done harm enough to the
Russians to pay for his life, and that
he thought little of its sacrifice. His
last wolds were : “Fire, dogs ! I hate
your accursed race l” There was a roll
of musketry ; the two spies fell for*
ward on their faces ; a corporal stepped
out and discharged a bullet, as a coup
de grace, into the ear of each, and all
was over. Nobody knows their names,
nor whence they came, and nothing but
their unmistakable Jew'sh physiogno
mies would have revealed their ori.

Marietta and North Georgia R. R.
The Marietta and North Georgia
Railroad is again in motion. She has
been resting on her solid bed of earth
for some lime—not dead but sleeping.
She now looms up in the distance with
new hopes and prospects. She has
been lying still gathering her strength
together. We have undoubted author
itv for saying that the President of the
road has purchased, not contracted for,
but actually purchased iron enough to
rail filky miles of the road, beginning
at Marietta. That will i-on the road
nearly to the Gilmer line. This looks
like business. The iron is actually be
iug delive-ed ia This is no
humbug’—i s a living reality. It the
Conven-ion will let us alone, the wbis-
Pe of the locomotive will be
from Mn ietta to Murphy within two
years. ’J his is not an exaggeration. We
have no object in misrepresenting the
facts. The solution of tho thing is as
plain as tho nose on a man’s face. With
the convict fo.co at our* command; with
the loan of the State to help get (ho
iron, the last river is crossed. Noth
ing but an effort is wanted to do the
balance. Labor costa nothing. Lou
is obtained for a (rifle. Why the pan
ic times a. e not so unfavorable to rail
roading ai’ter all. Everything necessar,
jy to build i ail roads is down at the foot
of panio prices. Just think of it!—
Goa Phillips, a few days ago,purchased
five miles of new nar ow gauge tract
with one engine and lour boxes for nine
thousand one hundred dollars. The
iron didn’t cost a oent per pound. The
panio times did this. Let the peoplo
not be discouraged. The convict force
a.e working for iron daily. The road
is vbiually being buiL. When we
get the iron eight,otenths of the work
is done. Readers, don’t be Burp-ised
if in two yeaiß tho iron horse of the
Souih steams proudly through these
valleys, bringing civilization and com
merce to all portions o> this count -y.
Do not bo surprised if within five years
your morning slumbers aro broken by
the busy hum of machinery aad the
vivid and hissing glow of tho furnace.
When a railroad ties us to the great
trunks of Ameiica, then our mountains
will begin to yield up their rich treas
ures, our dashing streams will laugh as
they leap proudly over the wheels of
manufactures. Our fo r ests will sing
a i equiem to the ax of the woodman.
Art and nature will groel each other on
our mountain tops and in our vallevs.
Science and the mechanic arts will go
hand in hand. Industry will dethrone
lethargy and sloth ; and a higher civi
lization kiss the frowning cres-s of tbe
Blue Ridge. Then and not till then
will North Georgia exhibit what she is
—tha brightest star in the coronet of
tho empire State of the South.— El-i

Ilow a Turkish General Met Ilis
Heath.
Aziz was one of the bravest of gen
erals in the Turkish army. Four days
previous to the battle of Ksirdze, near
Rasgrad, he manifested symptous of
insanity, and threatened to blow out the
brains of the first man who ventured
to speak to him. Three Bashbßa
zouks, who had committed some crime,
were brought before him, and he shot
them with his revolver. The day of
the battle he arrived at tho vi’lage of
Earidze. The officer of the advance
guard, a Lieutenant, who had observed
the Russians ambushed in the fores ; s,
approached the General and announced
his discovery. The General replied
bv drawing his sword, which he thrust
through the neck of the Lieutenant,
saving, “What! you are afraid of the
Russians ?” and he continued advanc
ing toward the forest. Suddenly he
was assailed by a perfect hail ol rifle
bullets, but still he advanced with one
bat'alion. The commandant implored
him to retire, wh*r (*’e Genei'l : n p’i

ed, “Colonel! are you afraid ?” “No,”
said the Colonel, “but we a* a go'ag to
lose our battalion; its existence ts r.t
s:?.ke.” The baba were
around them, and stil 1 the General ad*
vanced with his single battalion, anoth
er following him up closely. A Pus*
sian battalion at this moment rushed
from the forest, but was completely an*
nihilaced by the Anatolians. The Ros*
sians then opened fire from s'x field
nieces hidden in the forest, and Aziz
ordered forward three only in reply,
forbidding the second kiu .lion to ad
vance. The whole of his division was
very nen’, and a Lieutenant Colonel,
seeing the danger, immediately sound
ed the clarion for the division to come
up, but the General shot at him for
giving orders without his permission.
All, therefore, remained behind, fear
ing to risk the fa:'7 of Aziz Pasha.—
Raising his riding whip, aud cracking
it wildly over his head to whisk away
the flying bullets, he rode on to death.
His aide-de camp tried ha:d tj save the
corpse, dragging it by tho leg un'il he
saw a squad on of cavalry bearing
down on him, when he fled, and hid
himself in a ravine.
A Sionx War Daace.
A day was set and the Drummer and
White’Shield returned to their camp
to ted their warriors to get ready. At
noon of bnS of the warmest days a hor
rible pounding and screeching was
heard in tho distance, and going out
we saw bedlam advancing; one hun
dred Indians, painted red, yollow, Hue
and green, ornamen'ed with feat he s
and strings of small bells, wore advan
cing, bea ing a tom*tom, screeching
with all their might, and Btooping over,
danced f’i>m oae foot to the other.—
Arrived in iront of the house they
stopped and walked oh to tha parade,
rangod'themselves-i it a semi-e’vcle, tj t
their blankets under them and waked
for the musicians to begin The six or
eight members of their band, w apped
in gray blankets; we:e huddled around
a base drum, each wl h a sub
stantial drum stick, and as they be 0 a
their pound.g the dancers set up a
straage.cho;*us of shrill, oh' ( ’ng cries,

pleasure in herding off incompetent of

well-arranged books of the then finan

cant if he could keep accounts as neat

never Liled to prove a settler. Judgo

chief clerk of ire Appointment Office.
In a hal'bserlous, hul jovial manner,
ihe Judge said:
“Well, Mr. M.t r, do you think the

“I drank more in oxicariug liquor .rom

on many others, aud effected permanent
cures. The remedy of the cure is this:
When a person fiads he must have a
drink, let him take n and ink of water,
say two or three swallows, as oiten as
the thirst or craving may desire. Let
him continue this practice. His old
chums will laugh ; but let him perse
