A Splendid Chance.
AmaZonia Items.

Mr.. G. j. Price is busily engaged in
hauling timber from his mill to the
railroad bridge, on the farm of John
Zysit.
The grading on the 'tcut-of7' is
completed, and the laborers are leav-
ing. The track is laid about half way
from Savannah to Amazonia.
| On Tuesday morning Mr.. Samuel
Sharp's smoke-honse and corn crib
were burned down. The origin of
the fire is unknown.
No one knows why q certain young
man came home from church SO late
Sunday night, but it is believed he got
lost.
Two young men, named Charles
Broce and Charles Bowman, conclud-
ed to see more of the world, and::a few
nights since started OH foot to see it.
After sleeping out one night on q coal
pile, at a St. Joe foundry, and wan
dering about the next day, they on
-cluded they had seen enough, and
trudged home again; whereat there
was great rejoicing, and the fatted
calf was killed and a feast prepared,
and the prodigals made welcome.
1t is said that Nicholas Schryer has
contracted to furnish the rock for the
Northwestern Lnnatic Asylum-the
rock on Mr.. S%chryer's place is of q
very fine quality.
PROBABLY FATAL AFFRAY.-
Dan. Coyle,a laborer on the Amazonia
cutoff, was in Yoakum's saloon, at
Amazonia, on Friday, when he be-
came abusive of the bar -tender-
named Mumford-who got into a row
with him. Mumford hit Cole over
the head with the pole of an axe, pro-
duciug a bad fracture of the skull.
He was carried to Stingly's hotel,
when DR.. Bryant o fSavannah, having
been sent for, extracted several pieces
of the skull. Coyle was still alive
yesterday, but of course in a very
precarious condition. Mumford went
to his house aud put oil his revolver
and took his shotgun and concluded
to 60 n hunting for a few days. He
was still out at last accounts. No
pursuit was made. The people say
that the man is not dead yet. They
may consider the matter further If
Coyle dies.

Gu Friday lasT, the Fourth, just after
dinner, while the children OF several schools
in the vicinity were holding a picnic near
South Point, several roughs made their
appearance upon the ground. Two of
them, we are informed named Leightsy
and Wilmott, began to quarrel, whereupon
the latter drew a pistol and fired at the
former, making afterward several attem pts
to fire the revolver at him Leightsy, while
trying to keep from in front OF the muzzle
OF the revolver, found n club with which
he struck at Wilmott knocking the revoy-
ing chamber OF the pistol 10 the ground
Wilmott fled, pursued by Beighsty, who
called upon his friends who were following
for rock" No stone being forthcoming
he picked upa rotten stick which he broke
over the head OF the fugitive Wilmott
fled into house and jumped upon n bed,
where Leightsy, who had followed him
with knife, said to have been furnished
by one OF his friends, cut him in horrible
manner. Leightsy has LETT the country.
Wilmott, though dangerously wounded,
was not dead when our informant left
South Point The pic mic WAS broken up.
1t is dangerous to fire pistol at a person
who is standing near to and on line with
a crowd OF children, and, therefore, Will
mott has little sympathy in his aftlicton.
Three Of the unexploded metallic cartridges
found in the chamber which was picked
up after the occurrence bear the imprint
Of the pistols hammer-IronfoH COm.

INTO MISCHIEF.

Dancing feet and busy fingers,
Never still the whole day through.
For the little brain from dreamlaud.
Brings them work enough to do.
Racing through the gorgeous parlor,
RomPing on the winding stairs,
Tearing books and breaking vases
Into mischief everywhere.
Picks the cakes and tastes the Jelly,
Breaks the windows, slams the door
Throws the statues from the brackets.
Scatter playthings on the floor.
Tearing little coats and trowsers,
Rumpling up the curly hair
Busy, naughty little fingers,
Into mischief everywhere.
Splitting ink upon the carpet,
Dashing pictures from the wall,
breaking mirrors, singing, shouting,
In the attic and the hall;
Tracing mud across the entries,
Turning over desk and chair.
Cutting up the morning paper
Into mischief everywhere.
But no look Of hate or malice,
Darkens DER those laughing eyes;
Not thought of harm or SHINING
In its little bosom lies;
For its soul is pure and guileless,
Whatever harm the fingers do
Though the little feet are straying
Into mischief everywhere.

Jack Martin and the Banker.

There once lived rolicking lawyer-we
will call hun Jack Martin-who had many
virtues and few faults lie would give
away his last and consequently was often
dead broke. One day he must attend court
at distance, but found himself without
funds. Rushing breathlessly into the Of
flee OF banker, holding ii his hand the
promlssory note OF a well-known man for
twenty dollars, he hastily exclaimed:
Here, John, what will you give me for
that? Quick! trains waitingl'
Nineteen dollars and half" said the
banker
"All right cried Jack "Give me the
stamps" And in a moment he was off
for the cars.
An instant and he was followed and over
taken by the banker, who said:
Look here, Jack; credits on the back of
this note, fifteen dollars"
81 know it" replied he
"Will you pay it back?'
mot cent You set the price-I took
it"
You're an internal scoundrel"
"Now look here said Jack, whats the
use? | can bring twenty better looking
men than you who will say the very same
thing"
1t was one OF Jacks virtues, this calm
ness under trying circumstances, and it SO
charmed the banker that lie never asked
for the money again.
