imminent danger of serious disaster
to the crop from overhows, factors were
more stringent in their pretensions, asking
fully Ic more than they would have accepted
week or ten days ago; but buyers, although
ready to 60 on at full prices, were unwilling
to go on at any marked advance. The prices

with tendency to fraction more.

PEOPLE WILL TALK.

You may get through this world,
but twill be very slow, if you listen
to all that is said as you go; you'll
be worried and fretted, and kept in
stew, for mcddlesome tongues will
have something to do, for people will
talk:
lfquiet and modest, you'll have ii
presumed that your humble position
is only assumed; you're wolf in
sleeps clothing, or else you're a
fool, but don't get excited, keep per-
fectly cool, for people will talk.
If generous and noble, they'll vent
out their spleen, you'll hear some
loud hints that you are selfish and
mean. If upright, honest and fair
as the day, they'll call you rogue
ia sly, sneaking way, for people
will talk.
And then if you show the least
boldncss of heart, or slight incli-
nation to take your own part, they
will call you an upstart, conceited
and vain; but keep straight ahead,
don't stop to explain, for people will
talk.
If thread5aro your dress, or old
fashioned your hat, some one will
surely take notice Of that, and hint
rather strong that you can't pay
your way; but don't get excited,
whatever they say, for people will
talk.
If you dress in tho fashion don't
think to escape, for they criticse then
in different shape; you're ahead of
your means, or your tailor's unpaid;
but mind your own business, there's
naught to be made, for people will
talk.
Now, the best way to do is to do as
you please, for your mind, if you
have one, will then be at ease. Of
course you will meet with all sorts of
abuse, but don't think to stop them.
it amt any use, for people win talk

took off frs one arm and then the
other. The agony of the wounded
man was fearful and in his parox-
ysms his feet came in front of the
saw and its insatiate teeth gnawed
their way into his groin. At last
accounts he was still lingering,
though suffering intensely.

THE Titon- Be- cherjury have been
engaged nearly FIVE months in hear
ing the notable case, The pay of
New York juror is two dollars day,
but the last legislature allowed coun
ty officials to pay more, in their dis
erection, when the detention on a case
was over thirty days. The jury in
question have petitioned for more
pay, but no action has been taken
by the county officials, and it is be-
lieved none will be at present. 1t
seems to be understood that the jury
will get more pay if they agree, but
if they put the county to the expense
of another trial, they must be cons
tent with two dollars day. One of
the jurymen has gained nineteen
pounds 10 weight during the trial
He evidently thrives in the deluge
of fertilizing material, and does not
need more pay.

THE Hinesville Gazette relates a
snake story. c. c. Gordon, of
ReidsvilIe, Tattuall county, was sit
ting upon fence a few days ago,
watching some parties who were cut
ting oats, when his attention was
drawn to the squeaIing of some hogs
a short distance off. Proceeding
there he found about half a dozen
Guinea pigs running backward and
forward across and old ditch. His
curiosity drew him a little nearer,
and he found nine year old rattle
snake in the ditch, stamped and bit
and so badly used up that he could
not crawl. He called several other
parties, who Witnessed the battled be-
tween The pigs and the snake, and at

TIE MICHIGAN NEGRO KILLER
1t stated that the man who killed
more negroes during the war than
any other man was loyal Union
soldier, one of two brothers belong
ing to a Michigan regiment. At
Yorktown a negro sharp-shooter in
the service of the Confederacy,
picked off one Of the brothers, and,
though the negro was discovered
few minutes later and shot by the
Michigan boys, the surviving broth
er swoEc eternal vengeance upon the
entire negro race, and from that
houl devoted himself to its exter-
mination. The exact number of
negroes put out of the way by this
man would be astonishing if it could
be known, and he was never once
detected in his murderous wosk by
any one who cared to repor; him.
Three oc his sable victims found a
grave in the Ohio, and the soil of
classic Jacksonville drank the blood
of others; but he operated wherever
bis regiment happened to be sta
toned, silently and effectuslIy put
ting the objects of his hatred out Of
the way as often as an opportunity
offered. He has never been punish
ed and may even yet be carrying
out the scheme of vengeance he re-
solved upon at Yorktown.
/ Our colored friends had better
keep lookout for this KuKlux
Michigander.

THE KENNEsAW SLAUGHTER.

In his memoirs, Gen. Sherman ex-
cuses he.slaughter of his troops at
Kcnnesaw mountain by asserting
that he wanted to show the rebels
that the Yankees could charge against
breastworks. The Cincinnati Ga
zette prints Gen. Thomas written
protest at the time, as follows:
The Army of the Cumberland has
already made two desperate and un-
successful assaults upon Kennesaw,
involving great loss Of life. 4 third
assault, if made, will, in my judg>
ment, result in the destruction of this
army, and will be against my best
judgment and earnest protest.
That settled the matter. Joe
Johnston's boys did not have a third
chance to NOW down Sherman's men.

AN old woman who had never
been to school, got a letter one day,
and asked the postmaster to read it
for her. She did not want him to
hear it, so she took a wad of cotton
out of her pocket and stuffed his ears
with it. She then had him read the
letter in a low voice, and was en-
tireIy satisfied that the reader could
not hear a word Of it.

CIVILLY DEAD.

A REMARKABLE SUIT is iii progress
in San Francisco court. In No
vember, 1872, James c. King shot
and killed Arthur +. ONeil in
Brooklyn, N. Y, King was found
guilty of murder in the second de-
gree, and was sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for life. King had met a
wealthy merchant named Stott in
San Francisco, aud he had married
the latter's daughter. The union for
some reason turned out to be ar
happy. Her father left all his estate
by will to Mrs. King on her becom-
ing a widow, and the question now
presented to San Francisco tribu-
nal is whether she is entitled, under
the will, to cope in possession Of the
property, although King is now coli
fined in the State prison at Sing Sing.
Mrs. King now contends that she is
a widow fully withir the meaning Of
the terms of her fathers will, and
therefore entitled to come into the
property left by him at the time of
his deceasc. The laws of New York,
as represented to the California
judges, provide that "a person sem
fenced to imprisonment for life shall
be deemed civilly dead and that
mo pardon granted any person who
shall be sentenced to imprisonment
for life shall be deemed to restore
such person to the rights of any pre-
yious marriage" The question is,
though the wife be divorced and King
alive in the flesh, and though civilly
dead according to the laws of New
York, is Mrs. King a widow in Cali
formal Upon the determination of
that point depends the acquisition
and enjoyment of large property
left by father to daughter upon
the event of her becoming widow.

GEO. LESTER.

One of the editors of the Column
bus Enquirer, recently visited Ma
rietta, and writes: owe found that
excellent lawyer aud splendid sol>
der, Col. Lester, busy driving his
reaper in a wheat field. AS the coll
onel is known all over Georgia, it is
unnecessary to say that he lost an
arm in the confederate service, ex-
cept as a reminder to the young
men who can not find anything to
do. This physical labor of gentle~
man and a gallant but manned sol
der who is distinguished for his at
tainments as a lawyer, should send
the blush of shame to many an idler
in our cities. Col. Lester had taken
the contract for saving this wheat
crop at certain price per acre, and
if energy and industry avails any
thing he will make it pay. We
hope the voters Of Cobb will take this
Cincinnattus from the field, howev-
er, and place him in the forum.

UPRIGHTs.-These are men who
take newspapers, pay for them, and
read them. Observe the order in
which those things are done; the
pay comes frat the reading next
These men consider they get the
worth of their money in the bargain.
It seems as fair and just to them that
the newspaper should be paid for as
barrel of sugar or new coat
They never entertain any other opin-
ion. When the year runs out, or
a little before, they are on hand
with the pay. There is no more
difficulty with them in remembering
this period, than Sunday or the first
of January. If one of them wishes
to stop his paper, he either calls or
writes letter by his postmaster, in
due season, like a man. This class
is dear to the heart of the editor
Their image is embalmcd in his
warm affections. May they live
thousand years, and see their sons
