A Great Curiosity.

The editor Of the Griffin Star, after paying a
visit to Upson county gives the following ac
count Of a great nataral curiosity Of Georgia:
The first grand point of interest was in the
famous laundering Springs, located in the North
ern part of the county, about twelve miles from.
ihomaston. We expected to find quite a curl
osty, but were completely amazed to find so re
markable freak OF mother nature as this spring.
it is located in the widest part of the mountains
extending through the county, and there in the
solitude of the wilderness presents most re
markable phenomen0n The dimensions Of the
spring proper are about five feet in diameter
and OF an unknown depth, for experilnenters
have repeatedly sounded its depth i'll vain, and
no bottom can be reached. The water bois
up with great force; bubbles Of gas constantly
rise up through the water, and explode at the
surface This gas is highly combustbe, and is
frequently set ON fire as it makes its csc, ,pe.
Such is the force with which the water rises
that human body cannot sink, but is buoyed
up in standing position. 1t is famous bath
ing place, and We took the first opportunity to
lunge into this bottonless W II. There We
could stand for hours, with nothing to support
us but water. The earth around the spring is a
beautiful white sand. Of very fine grain, giving
away readily at the touch of the foot, but i'm
mediatey reforming as before. The walls of the
well perfectly symmetrical, as if dug by the
hands of men, As low down as we could reach
with cur foot, we could kick hole in the wall.
and as soon as the foot was removed the wall
would Immediately reform as before. The TEN
pcrature is delightful and the waters are invalua-
bic, especially for diseases of the skin and blood.
The spring constantly makes low rumbling noise,
from which it derives its name.

Remains of Hon. Stephen A. Douglas.

CHICAGO, June 3,-According to an arrange

the Hon Stephen A Douglas were transferred,
this morning. from their first resting place to the
mansoleum. Many citizens and strangers wit
messed the transfer. On the removal of the lid

Senator was found to be in remarkable state of
preservation almost as natural as when buried,
seven years ago, excepting that the eyes are sun

the forehead somewhat ndented or ptted, but
the complexion is very fair. the contour of the
head and face apparently unchanged, and the ex-
preston quite natural and plainly recognizable

raiment as new and tidy as when first put on,

Marriage Maxims.

A good wife is the greatest earthly blessing.
man is what his wife makes him. 1t is the
mother who moulds the character and destinyoi
the child.
Make marriage matter of moral Judgment.
Marry in your own religion.
Marry into different blood and temperament
from your own.
Marry into family which you have long
known.
Never talk at one another either alone or in
company.
Never both manifest anger at once.
Never speak loud to one another, unless the
house is ON fire.
Never reflect on a past action which was done
with good motive and with tie best judgment
at the time. 81
Let each one strive to yield oftenestto to the
wishes of the other.
Let self fabnegation be the daily aim and effort
Of each.
The very nearest approach to domestic felicity
earth is in the mutual cultivation Of an abso
lutte unselfshness.
Never find fault. unless it is perfectly certain
that a fault has been committed; and even then
prelude it with kiss, and lovingly
Never taunt with past mistake.
Neglect the whole world besides, rather than
one another.
Never allow request to be repeated.
Il forgot is never an acceptable excuse
Never make remark at the expense Of the
other; it is Il meanness.
Never part for day without loving words to
think Of during absence; besides it may be that
you will not meet again in life.

Breaking Promises.
From the Statesyille American.

sMessrs. Editors Permit me to make few
| remarks in reference to breaking promises It
is hard work to make even honest men keep
their promises when either their interest or con-
venience is promoted by doing otherwise. Call
on your tailor, for instance, and order new coat
and he viii say in answer to your most serious
inquiry, at shall be done sir, sure, next Satur-
day night Well, if you get il week after
that, you may consider yourself fortunate. We
need hardly mention boot-makers, for they tell
break their promises-as part Of their trade
But tailors and boot makers are not the only per-
sons who break their promises. Merchants,
bankers, and those in every profession not ex-
cepting ministers, are strongly addicted to this
wrong doing. A promise is made to perform a
certain work at a specified time, and the same
may be in writing, yet, if not repudiated, it is
often entirely neglected or forgotten This soon
becomes habit, so that to do as agreed" is an
exception to the general rule. A merchant buys
bill Of goods, and promises to pay at specified
time. He don't keep his promise because he
do better with his money, or he is unwilling
to make sacrifice, or it is not quite convenient.
Poor fellow! he has lost his character, injured
his credit, and enrolled his name among the rank
of No. merchants. He has lost, therefore,
more then he las gained. He goes to New
York and says, 1T is truesI allowed my note 20
be protested, but"-nonsense He does not tell
them that he has made use of the Bankrupt Law
and put his creditors off with, can't pay. No,
he puts on airs, stops at first class hotel and
tries to make sensation, but it is future.
His reception is less cordial, he pays more for
credit than before, and after making few more
such experiments, is announced as suspended"
Having time now for reflection, he wonders at
Gods providence, thinks it hard thus to suffer,
and perhaps. finally sets himself down for life
ruined man. Who ever thought of tracing their
downfall to such course7 a.a
Reader, who ever you are, regard your every
promise as sacred as life itself. Do anything
and everything that an honest man may do rather
than forfeit your word. D. A. G.

An Awful Muddle.

A yonng gentleman by the name Of Conkey
having been united in holy bonds of wedbck,
sent the marriage notice, with couplct of his
own composition, to local paper for publication,
as follows:
s.Msrried-On August 1st, A. Conkey. Esq., At
torncy at Law, TO Miss Euphremis Wiggings.
Love is the Union of two hearts that beat in soest
melody, --.~
Time with its ravages mpars bitter fusion to its
ecstacy"
Mr. Conkey looked with much anxiety for the
issue of the paper, that he might zee his name in
print. The typo in whose charge the notice was
placed happened to be on spree at that time,
and made some wonderful blunders in setting it
up, thus: - as.~tp sts--lA : &

Slave Trade of Africa.

The Slave Trade has perceptibly diminished
during the last ten years, though this result has
been attained at the expense of many lives on
the squadrons maintained On the African coast.
From 1858 to 1868, eghty-eight English Off
GERS and three hundred and sixty men died Oh
the West Coast of Africa, and one hundred and
seventy officers and six hundred and ninety five
men were nvalded Eight thousand three hun
dred and thirty slaves were rescued during that
time; but in 1865 and 1867 none were taken,
and in 1866 thare were only three. The squad
ron is being gradually reduced, and an English
paper says there are not a few homes in England
where the news of its total recall would seem
like the reprieve from sentence OF death on
some member Of the family. ..sa- -

The POPULATION OF THE WoRLD.-Iu the
first volume of DR.. Behm's Geographical An
uual," lately published at Gotha. there is an in
teresting article On the population of the earth
This was estimated by Busching in 1887, at
100000, 600; by Fabr and Stein, in 1900 at
900, 900 600; by Stein and Horschelmsn, in 1888,
at 872, 100000; by Dieterici, in 1858 at ,2ss-
100000; and by Kob in 1865, at 1 ,22O 900 o0o
DIR. Behm estimates it at l.350,00O,O 900, thus
distributed: Europe 2s5 900, 600; Asia, 79s-
100000; Australia and Polynesia, 1850, 900 /;
Africa, 1S8, 900, 900; and America IA 500 900.
At the same time he acknowledged that it is i'm
possible to arrive at anything more than an ap-
proximate notion of the population in Asia and
Africa, there being no census or ether accurate
means of ascertaining the number of inhabitants
in those countries.
