WHO SALTED THE SEA?

The following scene is reported to have oc-
cured on board a steamer carrying detach-
mcnts of Alabama and Louisiana volunteers
TO the late war:
One tall volunteer from the pine land Of AL
ALBANIA was unhappy for the want of employ
ment. He sauntcred along "for something to
do" when it occurred TO him that he might, as
he expressed it, stake a good wash," He was
a tall, Iank fellow, with a shocky head of dry
grassy hair, hanging down to his shoulders
With a deliberation consistent with an idle,
sea voyage, he commenced rubbing the turpen :
tine soap Of the ship into his hair and skin with
considerable vehemence, He had cause to
take a great deal Of pains, for he observed to
himself"that he had an acre Of barrack mud on
him"
1t must be observed that all this while the
vessel was blowing further out into the sea
and by this time the Mississippi water in the
wash room had become exhausted, and he
threw his bucket over the vessels side to re-
plenish his basin.
The first dash he made was at his head; the
turpentine ofthe soap and the saline of the wa
ter soon formed a chemical combination, and
the oily qualities of the soap disappeared, and
left something in its stead resembling tar
Two or three rakes of the fingers through the
hair elevated it upright on the Alabamian's
head, stiff as the qullls of a porcupine =
I" That's another trick played upon me-" said
the unwashed in a rage, his hair still growing
%fiercer. At that moment the water dripped
his face, and he commenced splitting, as if
nuuseated to the last degree, CoolIy and deter
minedly, he went to his belt, took a " bowie"
some fifteen inches long and delivered himself
thus: "Some Of them thar Louisianlans has
played tricks enough on me. Now, if any
one dare, let him fetch me the one that put
salt in this ere water!"

THE HISTORY OF A GLuTToN.

An incredible gluttOn, Joseph Krolonicker,
died at Hefeld, in the year I'LL, (born at Pas
sau,) who had shown his rapacity for german
dining in many houses at Hanover. This won
deTful man had, as early as his third year, eat
en- stones TO appease his hunger. His parents
and even to his grandmother, had been stone
eaters. According to the judicial declaration
of his wife, he was never satisfied. except
when he mixed stones with his food, Of which he
had constantly q supply about him. He was
once about going to Holland, and hearing that
stones were not plenty there, he took several
hundred weight with him, This man was al
ways hungry, and therefore ate the whole
night. The longest interval from safety to
hunger was one hour and a half. He was a.
BILE to consume at one meal seventeen behring's,
as, many quarts Of beer, without taking into
the account an equal portion of bread. AT
one time he ate two calves, one boiled, the 9th
er roastad' in the space of eight hours. AT
Brunswick, he ate at the castle, twenty-five
P'""oe - l0os'eu Deel, uesiues having eateH
before five portions in a refectory. He also
ate other things, such as metals and felt-yet
he would not eat catfish, toward which he had
an uncomfortable aversion. Krolonicker, who
was in his youth asOldierY!when quartered, on
account of his unheard of appetite, was coun-
ted as eight men. It is wonderful, but his
passion for eating once saved his life! for in an
engagement he was struck by a bullet in the
abdomen, but this being full of stones, the
ball rebounded, and he was but slightly woun-
led. After his death, it was found by dissec-
ton, that his bowels contained a multitude of
metals and some flesh also, a pound and a
half Of stones.

CANTON, MISSISSIPPI, SATURDAY, JUNE 1e, 1919,

BOLD STROKE FoR A HUsBANn A worthy
fatmer, living in a country village in France,
and a widower, was recently aroused at mid
night by the barking of a dog. On ondeav-
oring to quiet the dog, he found HIM unusual
ly agitated, whereupon the farmer took his
gun and went out to look into the cause. All
at once he saw a horrid phantom rise UP be-
hind the hedge clothed in a white sheet. He
turned quite pale, and his limbs shook with
dismqy. At length he picked up sufficient
courage to calculate
"If you are from Heaven, speak II from the
devil, vanish"
"Wretch" exclaimed :he phantom, 81 am
your deceased wife, come from the grave to
warn you not marry Maria-, to whom
you nre making love, She is unworthy to
share my bed. The only woman to succeed
me is Henrietta B. Marry her. OF
persecution and eternal orment shall be youl
portion"
This strange address from the goblin in
stead of dismaying the farmer restored his
courage, He accordingly rushed on his ghast
ly visitor, and stripping off the sheet, discov.
cred the fair Henrietta g. herself
looking excessively foolish. 1t is said that the
farmer admiring the girls trick had the bann
published for his marriage with her.

ACCIDENT AT NIAGARA FALLs.-A distress
ing accident occurred at the Falls of Niagara,
a few days ago, in consequence Of three men
attempting to cross the river in a skid. As
they heared the middle of the river, the cur
rent, which at present is unusually rapid in
consequence of the projection of the Golfer
dams on either side, speedily overpowered theil
efforts to resist it, and rising as if to view the
inevitable death before them, they were swept,
stern on, into the ra pids. Their boat, tossing
IRON one rock to another, in a few moments
was seen to capsize; the men rose, clinging to
the gunwsles, and were hurried on, until an
opposing rock dashed the boat into fragments.
Two disappeared at once; the other was seen
erect, the water to his knees, but ina mo-
ment after he was hurled down and seen no
more.

BURIED FoR Two THoUsAND YEARs.-Lord
Lindsey, in his travels, writes that while wan
dorlng amid the pyramids Of Egypt, he stun
bIed on a mummy, proved by lis hieroglyphics
to be at least 1900 years Of age, In examin-
ing the mummy after ii was unwrnpped, he
found in one Of its closed hands a tuberous Of
dubious root. He was interested In the qucs-
ton how long vegetable life would last, and he
therefore took that tuberous root from the
mummy,s hand, planted it in a sunny soil, al.
lowed the rains and dews Of heaven to descend
upon it, and in the course Of a few weeks, t.
his astOnishment and JOY, the root burst forth
and bloomed into a beautiful dahlia.

WORDS.

What a power have words-simple words!-
When wreathed INTO forms and thoughts by
word-artists, when breathed upon and inspir-
ed by the souls we call poets, how they stil
up the inner depths of the spirit, calling up
quiet and beautiful pictures Of the long, long
ago when we dwelt in the sunshine Of youth
and happiness. Here is network Of words
which nave flung a spell of g~ladness over oul
soul, transient, but genial:
V"lsit in the holy sunshine
Asst falls on the pictured floor,
And my soul goeth forth in singing
Like the tuneful Memnon Of yore.
bless the holy sunshine,
It falleth SO peacefully,
And waketh the heart to gladness;
Gods love, it seemeth to me-"
And here is another, sending the thought;
forward TO the tranquil close of weary life
when the sunshine which has ever and amor
gladdened our path, crimsons the western skies
and f DIES gently away, its last radiance rest
ing on the green and empowered grave.
'Bury me in the country where the flowers
And the tall bright green grass nh
Shall float above me as the summer hours
DreamiIy, gently pass.
Bury me where the friends l love may tarry,
Nor shrink away in dread;
Where little hands fresh flowers of Spring
may carry,
And little feet may tread"

INsTINcT.-Wease anecdotes occasionally 60
ing the rounds, of animal acuteness; the fol-
lowing coon trick, related to US by a friend, is
as keen as we remember 10 have heard, A
Racoon was chained up near a tavern door IN
the country, in the neighborhood Of which,
sundry chickens were scratching about, The
coon wanted one amazingly, but they kept be-
yond his reach. Atlast some bystander drop
ed a peice Of biscuit near the varmint; an idea
struck him. He bit the biscuit into crumbs
and after scattering them about within reach
of his chain, lay down and covered his eyes
with his paw. The bipeds saw the crumbs, and
picked up one and then another, growing boil
der every moment, and advancing nearer to the
sleeping beauty, until-slap! the wretch poun-
ced upon one, and ended his life in an instant.
