On the Battlefield.

"A recent writer truly says y
believe no two good soldiers will
widely disagree as to their sensa-
tions during battle. take it to
be a piece of bravado in any man
to assert that he had no fear dur
ing the progress Of a long and Sc
we're engagement. A battle is q
very hell upon earth, and not to
be in serious apprehension while
it lasts, is to be either drunk crazy
or insensible. The highest type of
bravery is hat of the man who
realizes the fall extent of his dan
ger, but sticks resolutely to his du-
ty. 1t was my experience, and
that of those around me, repeated
a dozen times, that shell firing is
not ordinarily nearly SO democrat
izing as that of musketry. II is
not often that shell are thrown SO
that their fragments scatter death
and wounds, and their loud hum
ming verhead does not cause that
nervous tingling which always fol-
lows the sharp zip of the rifle bull
let. The peculiar cutting air made
by half a dozen of these at once is
apt to give the soldier the idea
that the whole air is filed with
them, and that he is certain to be
struck by one of them.

Joints i'm Carpentry.

Professor Rankins sums the
principles which should be ad-
hered to in designing joints and
fastenings in carpentry, concisely,
as follows: 1. To cut the joints and
arrange the fastenings SO as to
weaken the pieces Of timber they
cunnect as little as possible. 2. To
place each abutting surface to the
Joint as nearly as possible perpen-
dicular to the pressure which it
has to transmit. 3. To proportion
the area of each surface to the
pressure which it has to bear, so
that the timber may be safe
against injury under the heaviest
load that occurs in practice and
to form and fit every pair of such
surfaces accurately, In order to dis
tribute the stress uniformly. 4. To
proportion the fastenings SO that
they may be of equal strength
with the pieces which they con-
meet. 5. To proportion the fasten-
ings in each piece of timber, so
that there shall be sufficient resis-
lance to the giving way of the
Joint by the fastening shearing or
crushing their way through the
timber.

A Murder Nineteen Years
AHA.

A murder committed near New
burg. about nineteen years age, and
to the perpetrator of which no clue
was ever found, has recently come
to light. 1t appears that the body
of a young woman named Sarah
Bloom was found by the roadside,
mutilated shockingly Every pos.
sible means was adopted to ferret
out the perpetrator of this villain
Gus deed, but without success. The
other day letter was received by
a gentleman in Newburg frem a
neighboring city, who said he had
a patient on his death bed who con-
fessed that he kihed the woman in
a jealous fit. He has since suffer-
ed intolerably from remorse.-N

Slnamed Him /.

A woman who apparently hail
cd from the rural districts, follow
ed her liege lord into bar-room
yesterday. She wanted to shame
him from taking smile by FIRST
ordering one for herself. She took
down dollar bill, and said that
she would take sugar in hers" p
Her husband said that he would
take some of the same, and she
drained her glass like a topper and
called for another, and that SEEM
ed to tickle her palate so that she
continued to call for drinks. Her
husband seemed to be shocked,
but took q glass every. time the
wife did, saying that he wouldn't
be outdone by any woman,
much less his own frau. After
drinking several glasses they stag
gered out on the sidewalk. She
propped herself on the top of a bar
rel, bat he chose a pavement for a
seat. as that required no exertion

lFrona the Toldosta Gal Time

From the Taldosta Ga.) Tsmes.l
A third lake in Lowndes county
has been emptied of its waters BY
subterranean passages during :he
l,SSt six months. What Is the mat.
ter? The Times has several times
alluded to the fact that Lowndes
county had within its border num-
beers Of lakes, from ten to five hun
bred land several beyond thOus-
and acres in size, and can 1t be that
these. lakes are connected with a
grand underground water-c0urse ?
Ii seems so. In September last one
dried up, or run of, and left bush
els of fish in holes of water about
the bottom of the lake. In Janu-
ary another, about Eve miles from
this, did the same thing, and now
Grassy Pond, lake covering near
five hundred acres, just between
the two mentioned. has left its
millions of fish out of the water.
About three weeks ago it was re-
ported that the water of this lake
was sinking below low water
mark, and every day or two we
could aesr il was still going down.
Last week a report spread all over
the country ike wildfire tn I Gras-
sy Pond was low enough 10 rake
the fish out with nets, and by sun
down more than one hundred pee-
ME had collected at the place -
Some had dip nets, some had cast
nets, ard there was one seine in
the party The first haul with the
seine caught enough trout, jack,
Dream and speckle perch to make
mes for every one present.
During that night all the water
disappeared and there were mill
lions of fish left dead upon dry
land. Saturday., next day, the
planters hilched up their wagons
and hauled load after load and
scattered them in their fields for
manure; and thousands were left
AT thu mercy of buzzards, hogs and
other creatures OF prey. Such guam
titles Of fish and such destruction
has lever been known in the his
tory Of Lowndes county. No one
ever dreamed that there was half
that quantity of fish in Grassy
Pond, though it was celebrat ID for
its fine fishing grounds in the
spring of the year. The other two
lakes above mentioned did not
thls completely dry, and The fish
that were not caught were saved
by the water returning in q few
days from its hidden retreat in the
bosom of the earth. We learn that
Grassy pond is filling up again but
it Is too late to save the finny
tribe. These statements are not at
all exaggerated, and can be testified
to by several hundred people liv-
ing ia this county, though it is
marvellous to all.

THE BELLlGERENT CHINEE.

Serious trouble appears to be pend
my among the factionsl denizens of
Chinatown. The emeute OF Friday has
caused the bitter feeling that has so
long existed between the different com.
lanies to increase in an alarming de-
gree. All Long, the prisoner shot by
All Nook while being conveyed to Jail,
died yesterday morning. His com
radss feel very bitter toward the Ming
ieung faction and will use every exer-
tim 10 have him suffer the extreme
penalty OF the law, a matter which, ow-
ihg to b circumstance of the murder,
iEer will noL find much difficulty 10
dn. The friends of All Foo, who was
sha, at a wood rancho i'm Diamond VAL
isy, iesl somewhat hostile toward All
Fnu, who shot him, but a. both oil the
iii-fi belong IN the same con pany, the
ieeling engendered will not result in fac
hona strife. Had It net been for the
opportuue interference OF sheriff Gil
m,re and officer German, All Fou
would have been tried and executed
before su arise Yesterday morning by a
court OF their own cons ruction. As
