]3Y and. b. freeman. 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 Derrick. 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. gin. 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 --jay Courier. 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 CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15.1877. 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.
