The ENCHANTED MOUNTAINS IN GEORGIA
In one of the northeastern counties of Geor
gia, and less than hundred miles from Chat.
tan0ga, is natural curiosity, called from Indian
tradition, the Enchanted Mountain,
The mountain is not large, and there is moth
ing remarkable about it until you get on top
when human tracks, or impressions in the sol
i'd rock which appear to be human tracks are
seen.
How these almost human tracks came to be
impressed ON the rock of this mountain is one
of the many mysteries of this mysterious land OF
ours. There are great many traditions among
the Indians in regard to this mountain, but
none OF them are satisfactory, and it probably
never will be known who it was that left their
tracks upon the summit of the enchanted
mountain. One of the Indian traditions is
curious, for it shows that they had vague
idea of Noah's flood before the advent of the
white man. The story had been handed down
among the aborigines that it was the landing
place of the great canoe after the deluge, and
the tracks were made by the people in the ca.
noe as they stepped out upon the rock which
had been made soft by the long inundation.
One of the tracks, and the largest one, ia
seventeen and half inches in length seven and
three fourths inches wide. Unlike the others,
it has six toes. These must have been Noah q
tracks, and if there was anything in the Musiac
account of the flood concerning Noah's feet,
we might have a confirmation of the Indian
tradition. The size of the track would indi-
cate that he wore number eighteens.
There are 1876 impressions of the feet and
hands visible on the face of the rock. The
smallest foot track is four inches in length and
of perfect shape. Another Indian tradition is
that great battle was once fought there, and
the large track with six toes is that of the vic
toripus commander. This is essentially Indian,
as their ideas of mental greatness were circum-
scribed by physical size. To be great war
rior with them was to be of immense size and
strength. They did not recognize the size and
quality of the brain as having anything to do
with it.
But who made these tracks upon the En-
chanted Mountain? Ifit was human feet then
whose feet, and in what age of the world If
they were chiseled out by human hands, whose
hands aud when? Alas. that the learning of
the world amounts to 50 little, for no man caH
tell

COOP JoKE-While up the river few days
ago, says the Mississippi Democrat We heard
rich one on some poor fellow, whose name has
escaped u.s. He was padding to Vicksburg in
a "dug-out," and had been informed of a cer-
tain locality called "Rick's Bend, (which is 15
miles around, and IN one place about 100 yards
across. He was advised to land ut the narrow
point, and drag his craft over after him, but he
passed the spot, going down without observing
it, and padded on eighteen miles around till
he struck it on the other side. Landing ut
once, he dragged his boat across, and went
gliding along down with light heart until be
came within few PAGES Of the same spot at
which he had made his former portage. Sup
posing it to be new cutoff, he went ashore
and tugged his canoe ever again. When he
got back to the river second time, he saunt-
cred around little to stretch himself, and dis
covered an old newspaper out of which he had
taken breakfast that morning. It was now al
most sundown, and as he had padded thirty
six miles without any fatterlng progress, he
scuttled his dug-out with hatchet, built him.
self camp and waited till next day for boat
that would take him to Vicksburg.

PAPERS RECEIvED.-During the past week
we have received about half dozen new pa

Dum5 4nimals, published in Boston, and de-
voted the objects ofthe Society for the Proven

uae, Conrad Wiegands six by nine sheet, pub
lished at Gold Hill, Nevada. A small sheet pub
lished on the Fort Kearney Military Reservation,
which proposes to remove the National Capitol
to that point, ard several others too numerous
to mention, and which would be of little or no
value to us as exchanges. Two other papers we
notice, however, which are acceptable. The
Southern Kansas Adrocate, published at lie
Roy, Kansas, by c. L. Goodrich & Co. Mr..
c. L. being our old friend Goodrich, formerly

THE RED SEA.-The Red Sea is the hottest
place in the world, the thermometer running
up to hundred and twenty degrees in July,
and ninety in early spring. The atmosphere
for about fifty miles on that sea is steamy and
sticky. Everything in the shape of iron or
steel about ship takes ON a coat of rust, and
no one travels there during the summer unless
compelled to. do SO by business or military or
ders. In the winter and spring the passage is
delightful; yet navigation in that body OF water
is always attended with many dangers. The
Red Sea is long and narrow. with hidden rocks
and projecting reefs; and counter winds pre-
vail, which produce dangerous currents.

DEATH OF n. A. II. BALL.

The numerous friends of Mr.. n. A.
ii. Ball in this place, as doubtless in
many places elsewhere, especially on
this coast, yesterday morning received
by telegraph the sad, though to few
not entirely unexpected, intelligence
Of his death. The information thus
received was sorrowfully but quickly
circulated among all classes of our
people. Mr.. Ball died about half-past
eight O'Clock yesterday morning, at
the residence of Bishop Whitaker in
Virginia. For several weeks, until
within few days, he had been at Lake
Tahoe, hoping thereby to benefit his
health. Failing rapidly, he passed
through Carson last Saturday on
the way to Virginia City. At
the time of his decease Mr.. Ball
held the office of Chairman of the Ma
tional Union Republican Committee
OF this State, and though comparative
y a young man had frequently held
positions of much responsibility, hon.
or and public trust. AS citizen and
man he was public spirited and of
great moral and intellectual worth, and
as such his loss will be widely and
deeply felt. He was native of New
England, and went to California in
1919. For some ten years, we believe,
he had been a resident of this State.
The funeral will take place on Thurs
day (to-norrow) afternoon.

ALMOST INCREDIBLE.-The Stockton
Republican says there are I,037 in
mates, AT the present time, in the In
sane Hospital at that place. This ap-
pears almost incredible. Such pro-
portion of our State-for we presume
there are not Il great number from
Oregon and Nevada in the institution
is beyond parallel. If true, there
are 1T least twice as many patients
within the walls as any one asylum
ought 10 accommodate. The largest
hospitals for the insane, in the older
States, are only intended to receive
from five to seven hundred inmates,
and the highest authorities on insan-
i,y think that there should never be
more than from three to five hundred
under one roof. If there are upward
ia thousand inmates in our Insane
Hospital, California must have
greater number of lunatics, to her pop
ulation, than any country on the globe.
