Astrange story.

A curious incident is reported in the
American papers. About ten years ago
Jew in Strengthened circumstances left
Pennsylvania for America to improve his
position in the new world. he left a
wife and several children behind, and
promised that as soon as it was within
his means that he should send them
some money from America. There for,
tune smiled upon him and when he had
amassed a fortune Of $4,000 forms he
resolved to return home and surprise his
family with his wealth. He started with
out having apprised his family Of hii
intended return, and on his way home
he arrived at Hamburg, where he was
seized with so dangerous an illness that
he made will bequeathing all his prop
erty to his wife. He recovered, how
ever, only to find that during his sick
ness his money had been stolen from him
by a man who nursed him. A few
benevolent persons sympathizing with
his misfortunes, collected about hundred
forms, when the unfortunate Jew re
solved to return to America, in order tt
retrieve his fortunes. In the meanwhile
the nurse decamped with his booty tC
America, where, shortly after his arrival
he died suddenly. The American au
thorities sent the coffin, with the 10000
forms, to Transylvanis, and as the viii
was also found in the coffin, the authori
ties at the same time acquainted the rel
atives with the death Of the testator
After the usual period Of mourning, tn,
wife contracted second marriage. Thr
first husband had, however, again saveC
a considerable sum of money, and event
ually returned to his native countr,
to find his wife married to another man
The event caused a great sensation il
the neighborhood, and it is stated that
conference of rabbis is about to be hel,
to determine to which of the two hul
bands the woman belongs. JelCis

BY J.w.M.
Ye city fellers, haint no doubt,
Imagin its bizness ter talk about
Plantin' more corn and sich like grain,
And trustin' ter Providence and-er- rain;
But talkin' is talkin' and fact is fact
What's the use Of CAB when feller'S racked
And haint got no friend but Gotten?
Ye'd raise big howl in yer fancy town
Ef we didn' I come pilin' the staple" down
On yer stone-paved landin' somewhat before
The time ye've set to rub off the score
Ye've got scratched down on yer pesky books
With yer lint" and com" and sich like
crooks
Thet yer layin' up agin the cotton.
A feller's opinions calkerIate's his,
And I'm layin' my pile on the old-time
"biz;"
I've tried yer village and l find yer amt sweet
On putin out cash on corn and wheat,
And yer mighty particular in lepdin' yer
wealth
And maxim inquiries of the "old boys "
health
In yer sly illusions ter cotton.
faint thst yer relyin on the comm craps
OF the raw material" of course, perhaps
Yer jest leetle anxious that way;
Not thet yer think its gOin' to pay
ANY profits or sieh. Oh no! It's jest
A sort Of casual interest
Ye've got in the state of the cotton.
It's all very well ter raise yer own bread
And count yer cattle by the dozen head,
And ter stock yer yards with chickens and
pigs
Where ye've got yer perlice ter watch vel
"nigs;"
But ye've got ter invent new consarn
OF pig-pen, chicken coop. crib or barn
Thet'll keep hungry niger from meat
And bread when there's any thet'S fit ter eat
And handler ter raise than cotton.

A Flexible stone.

Knoxville Press and Herald, 22d.l
Captain George Mathes, editor of the
Winston IN. C) Sentinel, has favored
US with handsome specimen Of Aexi-
BILE sandstone-we know no better name
for it-which is a genuine curiosity, in
this section at least, The specimen is
about ten inches long, one and a halt
inches wide and one inch thick. 1t is a
clear white stone. composed Of fine sand,
thickly interspersed with shining
particles Of mica. 1t appears as hard
as ordinary sandstone, yet is flexible, in
all directions, like block Of Indiarub-
ber, or rather like a half-dried brick,
although it is incompressible, being as
rigid to the touch as the hrmest sand
stone. 1t would serve as q coarse
milestone. Captain Mathes brought the
stone with him from North Carolina,
where he says beds Of it are to be found.
What its special valuable uses may be we
are not advised. The specimen may be
seen on our table.
