Monday afternoon, says the Quitman
(Ga.) Reporter, party of eight or ten
met at the Okapilco creek, to seine the
different lakes and "eddies" along the
run of the creek between the turnpike
and the railroad bridges. Nothing I'M
usual transpired on this occasion until
late in the afternoon, when, In seeing a
deep lake formed by bend in the chan
mel of the stream, the seine became SO
heavy and difficult to drag that it was
concluded that it was hung to root or
log on the bottom. Lll1n Devane, lad
Is years of age, went under for the pur-
pose of discriminating the seine. Upon
reaching the bottom, a distance OF some
six or seven feet, he found what he sup
posed to be a log, and embracing 1t
started to the surface of the water with
it. His surprise as well as that of the
party can better be imagined than ex-
pressed when, upon rising, the supposed
log was found to be an alligator. AS
soon as the waters surface was reached
the Infatuated monster, taking III the
situation at glance, made terrific
lunge at Devane. and striking him In the
breast, knocked him into deep water,
and, continuing the attack caught him
between his vise-like jaws around the
waist. Seeing the danger Of their com
rade the rest of the party sprang to his
relief. Fortunately for Devane he was
upon the outside and the alligator was
upon the inside of the seine, which,
being strong and firmly held at each end,
somewhat impeded the vicious reptile IN
his attack. This, together with the
prompt and fearless action Of the entire
party, who seized his alligatorshlp Dy
the tail and legs and commenced to use
their knives on him diligently, is all that
saved the life of Lum Devane. he was
finally extricated from the jaws OF the
maddened monster, and escaped with
few painful, though not dangerous
bruises and bites. The alligator was
about eight feet in length, and it was

POe's Brain.

The singular preservation Of Shelley's
heart when his remains were cremated is
matched by that of Poe's brain. A med
ical gentleman, present when all that
was left of the author of ''The Raven
was disinterred, states that the brain
had not been destroyed. He adds that
the cerebral mass, as seen through the
base of the skull, evidenced no sign of
disintegration or decay, though, of
course, it was somewhat diminished IN
size. We are somewhat sorry that these
sennlchral details should have been made
public. They destroy an ideal. Do
what we will, since reading what the.
pious resurrectionists disclosed, the i'm
age of Poe rises before us, not in phys
ical beauty and sorrowful song, but as a
hideous skeleton. Think his teeth
rafting in the coffin when his skull was
lifted into a new repository

ResentfuI Firenen.

The fremen of West Troy, n. Y, had
a parade few days ago, and among the
organizations in line was the Oswald
Hose Company, at whose head was at
first put the best of the bands of music
engaged for the occasion. The march
had not progressed far when the band
was changed to another point in the line
and its place filed with amateur players.
The angered members thereupon retired
from the procession and took their hose
cart to their house. The next day the
Trustees of the village formally disband-
ed the company and organized a new one
of boys. The old members, angry and
resentful, stripped the cart of its orn-B
mental wheels, silver platings and other
things that they had themselves bought.
The Trustees then removed what was left
to what they supposed was safe place,
and set two policemen to watch it but
at night the firemen stole it and took it
across the river to Troy. where they hid
it in the Osgood steamer house. The
Trustees found it and put policeman
on guard, but it was again stolen, by
piecemeal this time, before they could
get it back to West Troy. tits now sup
posed to be at the bottom of the Hudson.
In the meantime incendiary fires have
been of nightly occurrence in West

The Spirit of SerYia and Montenegro

Perhaps the Servians are blind to the
better qualities of the Turks. But wher-
ever we find Turkish rule in Europe
there we also find resentments too Deep.
too passionate, too unreasoning to be
soothedb by the craft of diplomacy. Those
animosities, whether we like them or not,
will prove to be political forces of the
highest Importance. They would of
themselves suffice to render the position
OF Turkey untenable At present they
make it peculiarly difficult for Prince
Milan to hold his subjects in leash. The
Servians have rude democratic temper.
and they have already shown how cheap
~ they rate the sanctity of any sovereign
who thwarts their viii. The representa-
tives OF the rival dynasty are also ready
to bid against him for popular favor On
the other hand, he cannot be expected to
fly in the face Of positive demands from
Vienna, since he is largely dependent on
the support of Austria. A fierce and
willfulruler like Kara George might have
dared everything rather than allow Her
zegovina to continue under the rule of
Turkey, and he might have had good
reason to believe that Austria or Russia
would lend helping hand rather than
allow him to be beaten down but it
would be unreasonable to look for SO bold
a stroke from q mere lad like Prince
MilalL untried alike In council and in
war.
The position of Montenegro is pretty
much the same as that of Servia. It's
people have been battling with the Turks
for centuries, and they have never yet
been conquered. When Turkey claimed
dominion over them at the Congress of
Paris, their ruler was able to reply that
they had always been able to defend their
freedom. AS our special correspondent
says: the one object of their life is to
fight the Turks" and they are soldiers
to man. There is not more warlike
race in Europe, and it would be difficult
to find better guerilla troops. The noun
tain Businesses enable them to defy such
masses of regular soldiers as would over
run fiat country of the same size,
and hence war with Turkey does not
fill them with any terror.

A /" Distinguished American Lady,"

People in this country have not for
gotten the notorious Josie Mansfield, a
quarrel about whom sent Jim Fisk to his
grave and Edward Stokes to the Peni-
Tertiary. Latterly she passed out of
notice, but now we hear of her in Eu-
rope, where she passes for "distin-
guished American lady," Dom Piatt,
in letter from Paris, thus refers to
her

Scalped.

Yesterday afternoon, at Remington
Station, on the Cincinnati and Marietta
railway, Carrie Dawson, employed in a
paper-mill, while standing near revolv
ing shaft, was caught by her hair and
the scalp torn from her head, stripping
the skin from the back of her neck to the
eyebrows. Considerable time elapsed
before medical aid reached her, and it
was not deemed advisable to attempt to
restore the ifeless scalp to its former
place. To-day DR.. A. J. Howe, of this
city, commenced the restoration OF the
skin to the wounded girls head by TAX
ing small pieces of the scalp from the
head of her sister, who gave herself free
IL for her injured sisters relief, while
another lady offered skin from her own
shoulder to supply what was needed for
the forehead. Supplies sufficient to
start a growth of membrane were taken
from each of these ladies, and while Miss
Dawson's condition is dangerous, her
physician entertains considerable hope
of her recovery and of the success OF his
effort to cover her head with a new skin.

An Affectionate Family.

The Princess Domenica Ciareli was
left widow, with two sons, and the
elder died. Almost crazy with sorrow,
the Princess was ready to fight the men
who brought the coffin, and protested
they should not carry away the boy. In
an interval of calm the younger brother,
left alone with the body and the coffin,
resolved to cheat the men and help his
mother to keep Domenica. He hid the
corpse in closet and got in the coffin
himself. He was carried to the church
without discovery; but at the church,
nearly suffocated, he groaned, and the
coffin was opened, but he died IN Little
while. Now the mother is dead. All
this in Paris only the other day.

Capturing Ostriches.

The greatest feat of an Arab hunter is to cap.
ture an ostrich. 1t is the largest of living birds
ami probably the swiftest of all living animals.
Being very shy and cautious, and living on the
sandy plains, where there is little chance to take
it by surprise, it can only be captured by we'll
planned and long-continued pursuit with the
swiftest horses. The ostrich has two curious
habits in running when alarmed. 1t always starts
with outspread wings against the wind so that
it can scent the approach of an enemy. 1t sense
of smell is SO keen that it can detect person at
great distance. long before one can be seen.
The other curious habit is that of running in
circle. Usually five or six ostriches are found in
company. When discovered part of the hunt
ers. mounted on fleet horses, Will galop away at
right angles to the course the ostriches have
taken. When these hunters think they have
gone far enough to cross the path the birds will
be likely to take, they watch upon some rise Of
ground for their approach. II the hunters hit
the right place and the ostriches they at
once start in pursuit with fresh horses and some
times overtake one or two of the birds, but often
two or three of the fleet horses fall, completely
tired out with so sharp chase.
