Incident.

A rather amusing affair is said
to have occurred last Sabbath
morning in a church not thou
sand miles hence. The clergy
man was discoursing as eloquently
as the state of the weather would
permit, yet one of his auditors, a
yound lady, was so overcome by
the heat as to fall asleep in the
midst of the discourse. Those be-
hind her were somewhat amused,
observing her efforts to keep her
head in a perpendicular position:
The superintendent of the school
happening to look around just as
the lady's head was going over
backward, supposed she had fain-
ted. and springing to his feet,
called out the minister to stop
and send down from the desk a
tumbler of water -; which re-
quest was Immediately complied
with, and a copious supply OF Wa
ter was administered to the SOM
nolent young lady before she had
time to fairly recover herself A
number of sympathysing ones
gathered about her, but she soon
retired from the audience room
with a face too crimson to COM
port with a fainting fit. When
she sleeps in church again, it will
probably be with one eye open.

Bathing.

The style of bathing dresses for
ladies is at the present time under
discussion, says the Boston Post,
and appears to- be as lively a topic
as the dog-day weather will tole-
rate. Thezcorrespondents at the
coast describe with an JUNCTION Of
their own the beautiful becoming
ness of. one lady bathervin such, a

ment that "models itself diyinely
upon her form as she energies

that,a lady should desire to look
like perfect charm. as shey.cemes
up out Of the brine, as that she
should cherish wicked wish to.

when wet .drapery>s cling" to a
faultless form, and snowy feet

streamers Of, tan talizingelace. and.
bewildering folds Of gauzy muslin

these things are better left to the

The newspapers will have no more
influence in their settlement than
they had in giving shape on Cir

MURDER OF JUDGE HORNE

county, was shot and killed by,ne-
groes in his. employ Monday,

was the cause when he was fred

~ Capt. Robinson proceeded to the
scene of the outrage and arrested

acknowledged partieipationain the
crime The murderers have been
lodged in Jail at Macon.
Judge Horne was an estimable
citizen, having been Judge of the
Inferior Court Of the country and
a member of the State Legislature.
- This fearful outrage, and others
like it, are attributable to the
devilish agrarian ideas with which
the poor negroes heads are filed
by Radical emmisaries and aposta-
cised Southern whites. These
wretches, and not the negroes,
ought to be held responsible and
punished for this and other crimes.

REMEDY FoRHYDRopHoBIA.E'S.,
in the London Times, gives a rem
edy for hydrophobia, which, it Is
stated, was habitually used by the
late Mr.. Youatt, a weh-known ve-
terinary surgeon: who was bitten
by mad dogs eight times: The
remedy was to allow the common
nitrate of silver, easily procurable,
to filter in the wound. 1t decom-
poses the saliva, and in doing this
destroys the virus. Sir Benjamin
Brodie, and the writer acted upon
this in a case where a mad dog
had licked the inside Of child's
mouth, with complete success.
The best mode Of application of
the nitrate Of silver is by intro
ducing it solidly into the wound.

GENERAL SICKLEs' ARGUMENT.

GENERAL SICKLES' ARGUMENT
The telegraph gives us an inkling
of General Sickles' argument
against the policy Of allowing
the Federal courts to interfere
with matters in the unrecon-
structed States. We have heard
Of his argument before. 1t oc-
Cured in a conversation between
two darkeys engaged in rob-
bing a hen-roost. One of them
asked the other. whether he
thought they were doing right.
The reply was, "That's great
moral question, Sambo. Hand
down another pullet." So with
Sickles. He wants the work to
60 on, right or wrong; and actual
ly argues that because the courts
would decide the Reconstruction
laws to be unconstitutional, there
fore they must not be opened to
the owner Of the pullets.-Rlch-
