Ii is bad enough to see bachelor
sew on n button, but he is the en-
bodiment of grace alongside 4 mar
ried man. Necessity has compelled
experience in the case of the former,
but the latter has always depended
upon someone else for this service,
and, fortunately for the sake of So
ciety, it is rarely he is obliged to re-
sort to the needle himself. Some
times the patient wife scaldS her
right hand, or runs n silver under
the nail of the index finger Of that
hand, and il is then that the man
clutches the recdlc around the neck
and, forgetting TO tie knot in the
thread, commences to put on but
ton. 1t is always in the morning,
and from five to twenty minutes at
Ter he is expected to be down street.
lie lays the button exactly on the
site of its predecessor, and pushes
the needle through one eye, and
draws the thread after, leaving
three inches of it sticking up for lee
way. lie says TO himself: "Well, If
women don't have the easiest time
| ever see." Then he comes back the
other way, and gets the needle
through the cloth well enough, and
lays himself out to find the eve, but
in spite of good deal of jobbing the
needle point persists in backing
against the solid parts of the button.
and finally when he loses patience,
his Ginger catches the thread,
and that three inches he had left to
hold the button, slips through the
eye in q twinkling, ana the button
rolls leiSurely across the floor. He
picks II up without a single remark,
out of respect for his children, and
makes another attempt to fasteu it.
This time, when coming back with
the needle, lie keeps both the thread
and button from slipping by cover
ing them with his thumb, and il Is
out Ofregard for that part of him
that he feels around for the eve in
very careful and judicious manner,
but eventually losing his philOso-
phY, rs the search becomes more
and more hopeless ,he falls to iabbing
about i'm 4 loose and savage manner,
and Just then the needle finds the
opening, and comes mp through the
button and part way through his
thumb with q CELEBRITY that no hui
man ingenuity can guard against
Then he lays down the things with
familiar quotations, and presses
the injured hand between his knees,
and then holds il under his arms,
and finally jams il into his mouth,
and all the while be prances about
the floor and calls on heaven and
earth TO witness that there has
never been anything like it since
the world was created, and bowls,
aud'whistlcs, and means, and sobs
After a while he Gains down, and
puts on his pants, and fastens them

HARD TINES AND No MONEY IN
GEoRGIA.-All of the towns are as
hard as Columbus. None of the
big Wholesale houses in Macon are
doing anything. a proprietor of
one of the largest Wholesale estab.
lishments in the State told friend
of ours that it was hardly worth
while to open his doors, as the sales
did not pay the salaries of his
clerks. The same condition exists
in Griffin. Merchants are taking
cotton for the payment of debts
In Atlanta the situation is as bad
as anywhere else, if not worse. A
general crash is feared. Every

ed faces. In Macon, Macon and
Brunswick railroad money is used.
Going to Atlanta you find Forsyth
money; then GAINESVILLE money;
then Griffin money; and further up
local certificates. Greenbacks are
never shown you except as curl
osity. Along the railroads you see
the fields white with lotion and not
a leaf on the stalks. la some fields
not a hand is picking. Should 4
heavy, beating rain come, large
quantities of cotton would be lost.

when we reached the pasture, we

How Lucky Young Man GOT Both "a
wife and Kingdom


Conrad, the Emperor Of Germa-
ny, was remarkable for his unspar-
ing punis hmont of all who crossed
his purpose. A quaint but true To-
gend recites that certain Count
Lupold, who was one of those fear
ing death, fed unto a remote forest
and lived in a hut with his wife
1t happened that the Emperor,
while hunting, came to the spot and
passed the night with them. That
night the Counts wife became the
mother of son, and the Emperor
dreampt that the child then born
would be his heir. AS the same
dream REQUIRED thrice, he was great
ly troubled, and the next morning
he commanded two Of his servants
TO kill the child. They took it a
way, but, being moved to compass
sion by its smiles, they placed it
under a tree, and brought back a
hare's heart to the Emperor, A
certain Duke, passing by soon af-
ter, found the child, and took it
home to his wife, and adopted 1t as
his own. Aiterward, the Emperor
being with this Duke, and hearing
him relate, as forest adventure,
the history of this boy, who was
then present, began to expect that
the victim had escaped. Being con
frmed in this opinion, he took him
into his service as page, and then
sent him with a letter to the En-.
press, in which he charged her, up.
ON pain of his disp!easure, to have
tho prisoner put to death. The
youth set out, and after travelling
seven days came TO 4 certain priest
house, who received him with great
hospitality. The priest was struck
with his comedy air, and by his
travelling so lar. While he slept
he looked at his letter, and discov-
cred the horrible fate that awaited
him; so crasing the writing, he sub
stituted it for these words.
"This is the youth whom / have
chosen as the husband of our daush-
ter: charge you to give her to
MN quickly.
Next morning the lad awoke re
frcshed, and said
"Adieu, dear host"
The priest replied:
Remember me when you are
Emperor"
The boy only laughed, estecmIng
il Jest, so he parted. On arriving
at Aix-la.C hapelle he delivered his
letters, and so we'll did the strata.
gem succeed that the Emperor wrote
soon after, to ask if his orders had
been obeyed. The Empress assured
him that the nuptials had been eel
cbrated with great celebrity, as he
had desired. The Emperor hardly
believed his eyes when he read the
letter. Mounting his horse, he rode
off Immediately and with great speed
to Aix-la Chapellc. On his arrival,
tho Empress presented their daugh-
ter and sOn-in-law. For long
time the Emperor seemed lost in
astonishment and uncertain what TO
do. At length nature prevailed,
and he exclaimed:
"The will of heaven cannot be
resistedn
Then he compelled the two 'squires
to reveal what they had done, and
tho Count to como from the Black
Forest and receive back his son,
with peace from the Emperor who
left him as heir and who aucceeded
him as Henry III. On the spot in
the forest whore the child was born
was erected afterward the noble mon
astery of Hirshdau.

HoRRIBLE DEATH-Thc Hum

HORRIBLE DEATH.-Thc Hum
phreys County Journal gives the
following account of the horrible
death OF Miss Katie Smith, daught-
er. of Mr.. Pat Smith, near New
ms station on Sunday last:
Mr.. Smith had been to McEwin's
station and returned, leaving his
mule hitched at the gate, as usual.
His daughter, accompanied by Miss
Ward and another young lady, con
cluden to take a ride. Miss Smith
was the first TO mount, taking the
saddle, the other ladies getting up
behind her. They had gone but
short distance, however, when the
mule seemed to appear little con-
trary, at which they struch him a
few blows with 4 stick or switch,
causing the mule to run with them.
two of the ladies managed to get
off some way, leaving Miss Smith
in the saddle. The mule cOntinu-
ing to run she struck him on the
side Of the head, thinking It would
turn him homcward, which it did.
In turning she was thrown from
the saddle, her foot remaining in
the stirrup, with head downward,
the mule running at full speed. In
this horrible condition she remain
ed until the mule reached home,
the distance being about half a
mile. In running with her in this
manner almost every particle Of
clothing was torn from her body,
besides being horribly mangled.-
She lived but short time there
after.
