Roman Catholic Relics i'm Georgia:

We are indebted TO the poeness of Mr.
W. B. Johnston, of Macon, Georgia, for The
ability to introduce to the acquaintance of our
readers two relics Of The ,oden time, When
Ponce de Leon sough, the Fountain of Youth
in the garden of Florida. or Hernando de Soro
,oiled after The Eldorado OF the West, in The
same fatal direction. These relics are two sill
yer Crucifxes, little exceeding eight inches
by seven, of rather rude or plain workmanship.
with few circular devices, furnished with rings,
and evidently intended as ornaments for the
neck. On one of them there are rude figures
of an owl and of the head and neck of horse,
seemingly scratched with The point of a knife
or other sharp instrument aud having also
several letters, contained within The rim or bor-
der or the central device, several of which we
have no, succeeded in satisfactorily decipher-
ring. Some of these letters are clearly numer-
ais, bu; OF a nature and age with which we
no, familiar. On the envelope in which they
were sent us is endorsed the following, in
great measure. conjec,ural solution of the hle-
roglyphics: s. Jesus Chris,us Nostor Redemptor,
1915" The name De Soto" is also endorsed
on the envelope, as an animation, by the wri
ter, that these relics must have been left with
the Indians by some Roman Catholic Priest, or
in his renowned and ultimately disastrous con-
ques, and exploration of Florida, under which
title was then included several of cur Souher9
and Gulf States. They were taken from small
Indian mound. in Murry county, Georgia, near
Coosawallee Old Town. The letters seem to
US to be as follows, viz. IYNJIOQU. The
second letter may possibly be v or even an
ornamen, or device, its shape beug that of a
wine glass or chalice-the shank being below
The level of the other letters. and resting on
crescen,-shaped saucer. The date given above
is certainly wrong if the relics be connected
with the era Of De Soto. That chivalrous ad-

A Remarkable Phenomenon.

The Cincinnati Signal relates the following,
which, If authentic, is certainly very singular :
THE most remarkable Phenomenon we ever
heard of is now TO be seen in this city. 1t con-
sisis Of two young pigs, having the heads OF ele-
plants. The proboscis, mouth, teeth, ears and
eyes, and so far as we have been able to Judge
from superficial examination, the head, per-
fecly formed of an elephant. In one case the
proboscis is brown over and back OF the head,
in the position we sometimes see the elephant
hold il. Tn the other i, hangs over the mouth
The eyes Of one are in the usual place Tor the
elephants, while in the other they are situated
near the centre of the forehead, not unlike the
Ihppopoamus. The skin of one of these pro-
diges has hair like hog-ihe o'her precisely
like an elephant. Their history is, that the
menagere was passing the neighborhood, and
the animals were turned in the field where the
sow was to feed--an elephan. being OF the
number They are the result. We hope some
of our scientific sauans will examine those Gu
rios.ies, and repor. The resul. TO the public
We believe doubts have been entertained oil
the possibility of such an occurrence, III so, they

The jig is up: have been flung

The girl whose praises have sung
With pen, with pencil and with tongue,
Said "No"-and fell fiat.

Nor my hard fate deplore;
Why should fellow look aslant,
IF one girl says she wont or can't,
while there s so many more9
Istrove nv best, it would not do
told her she'd regret
She'd ruin my heart and chances too,
As girls don't like those fellows who
Their walking papers get.
In-truth leved her very well,
And thought she loved me-
The reason why cannot tell;
But when 1 wooed this pretty belle,
Twas mistake in me.
She's dark of eye--and her sweet smile
Like seme of which I've read,
Is false-for she with softest guile
Lured NE 'mong rocks near loves bright isle,
And then she--cut me dead.
My vanity was wounded sore,
And that hate the worst;
Yon see naughty icok wore,
And thought she could not but adore
OF all men-me the first.
Well, thank the fa4es once more I'm free,
At every shrine III bow

FOR THE JEFFERsoNIAN REPUBLICAN.
The Shipwrecked Mariner.
BY REV. J. W. MEcAsKEY.
The storm heaves high, and roaring waves
Dash DER the blackend deep,
The tempest in its fury raves,
The winds their revels keep:
O'erhead the sky with darkest hue
And pitchy clouds, is hung;
The gallant ship and hardy crew
Have their death requiem sung.
Now torrents of descending rain
Heave up the oceans bed,
The helmsman steers the bark in vain,
While horrors round them spread.
The sails in tatters fly, the masts
Go over by the board;
To heaven, his eye the sailor casts
For succor to afford.
The ship rolls on, and fearful rides
Over the boiling sea;
No hand its course securely guides,
Wildly and madly free.
"We're lost," the cry terrific sounds
Above the oceans roar;
On the sunk rocks, the vessel bounds
And stands upon the shore.
One only man of all the band
That trod that vessels deck,
Was saved upon that desert sand,
From that distressing wreck.
