A Smell in the Nineteenth Ward.

To the Editor Of the Daily Star:
Isn't there some law that applies to
the case of The M. & C. r. t., which is
in the habit Of unloading bones in their
yard, or letting them stand on the track
until they are ready, as has beenr the
case the last three nights, to the sicken-
ing disgust and detriment OF the whole
neighb0rhoods There is no smell that
we are familiar with as disagreeable as
that arising from bones, and if the health
OF the people oil the Nineteenth Ward il
considered by the Board OF Health they
will endeavor to put stop to this un.
pardonable nuisance.
Respectfully yours, W. H.C.

A FEARFUL SITUATIoN.-A lady
of this pac says the Whitehall
New York; Times, was quietly sit
ting at her sewing, one day last
week, when she observed neighbor
approaching the house whom she did
not care to see. She quickly drops
ped her work, and stepped into a
closet, so as not to be sat home" to
her caller. The closet door closed
with a spring and imprisoned the
lady. The caller, finding the lady
absent, did not stop, bat when the
lady tried to open the door, she dis
covered, alas that she was pris>
oner. The lady realized that she
was consuming the air very fast, yet
she was powerless to release herself
from her prison. She remained in
the G. + about four hours, and when
her hQ >e- returned home at sup
per time, he missed his wife, but
thought nothing about it. Havin g
occasion to look into the closet, he
discovered hisewfe lying insensible
on the floor lie quickly drew her
inaoimate form ont, when the air re-
viyed her, and thns was prevented
what a few hours longer might have
proved a sad catastrophe.

THE DANCE OF DEATH.

Says the Lexington (Ky.) Dis
patch We have just been placed IN
possession of the facts of singularly
unfortunate and fatal event, ending
in the death of one man and the pun
ishment Of another in most unwar~
rantable and peculiar circumstances.
Thos. Fletcher was the name Of the
man killed, and it appears that he
had been a transient resident be-
tween Irvine, EstiIl county, Mt. Ster-
ling and Sharpsburg, he having lived
in the latter place for some time, but
more recently alternating between
the other two towns. Irvine was the
last place of his name and habitation.
lie was unsteady inclined, aud his
last performance in that line proved
a tune Of hssty requiem and dance
Of death A few days since Fletcher,
in his festive mood, at Irvine, drew
pistol, and, with drawn bead and
pointed muzzle, demanded of another
young man that he "dance or die"
Then at disadvantage the young
man danced with the nurderous
muzzle held to his bead, the basllisk
eye of his tormen.or running along
the barrel, keeping it following his
every movement. On he danced till
limbs grew lax and the perspiration
stood in beads upon his brow
That will do" grimly said Fletcher,
Iwering and unlocking his pistol
and putting it in his pocket, adding,
you may stop now" With lightn
Ing eyes and compressed lip the
young man whose name We did not
learn, said: eyes, and you may
stop, too" Drawing a pistol quick
as flash, be pulled the trigger and
fired. "Fake that" said he, as a
Kissing ball went through the hear t
of Fletcher, who fell over and ex-
PRED. This was little more dance
and music than Fletcher had bar"
gained for, and the tables were COM
pleteIy turned The young man gave
himself up, as we learn, and the mat
ter will undergo the regular Judicial
investigation and legal proceedings.

COBB coUNrYs GOLD MINES.

AFTER referring to the discovery
Of Messrs. Dobbs and Kemp's pew
vein Of gold in Cobb county, and
to other discoveries of similar
nature in Georgia, the Baltimore
(Md.) Commercial says:
The people need capital to devel-
op these profitable interests aud
ready capital backed by enterprise
and honest management, would re.
suit in an increase of immigration,
and pay the immigrants. The min
ing interests of this great country
are not confined to the Pacific coast
alone. and shouldnot be monopollzed
bv the bonanzai8ts of California any
more than we should monopolize the
food of the country. 1t is really a
wonder that capitalists who are seek
ing paying investments during this
period of depression do not careful
ly investigate these resources which
would in the end be source of prof
it to them. Every one knows that
the supply of gold on the Pacific
coast is gradually giving out; that
new discoveries will have to be made
10 keep up the supply, yet no one
seems anxious to develop the new
discoveries already made. The cry
from Georgia is constantly coming
up for more capital, yet it is scarce
ly noticed, much less needed.
Yet, the JOURNAL intends to do
what it can in keeping the mineral
wealth of Cobb county and this Sec
ton before the people, and we hope
by persistent effort to induce capitals
lists to invest and take hold and de-
yelop the rich mines of gold, silver,
copper, iron, mica, slate, marble,
&c. that are so numerous. We
have mineral wealth enough IN its
crude state in North Georgia suiiic~
lent to pay off our National debt
but it is rendered worthless for want
of capital to develop it. Buried
wealth can do nobody any good
Come on capitalists and participate
in the benefits Of unearthing it, You
will be protected in your person anc
property and find friends who viii
greet you with true hosp;table vel
come.

iourned Saturday, A larger atten~

we regret that circumstances pre-
vented us from attending. Presi-
dent, J. II. Estil of the Savannah
News, was lavish in kindness and
spared neither time or expense in
making the members enjoy their
stay. The members in token Of
their esteem, presented fine silver
pitcher, salyer, and two goblets, to
Mr.. EstiIl. lie returned thanks in
a very appropriate speech, and in
his remarks he paid the country
press of Georgia the following CONS
pliment;
1--WE have now the best interior
press in the country. have exam
ined into this matter in a purely
business light, and therefore can
speak knowingly. Some time since
! had sent to me number of the
country papers from Ohio, New
York, Pennsylvania and Michigan,
and examined them closely, and my
candid opinion is they do not begin
tocompare with the interior press OF
Georgia. (AppIause) All of our
country papers are good, and nearly
all are ahead of the towns in which
they are published They have
dane much for their respective
toNns and should be well support

Such words coming from the most
successful newspaper man in Geor~
ola. are to be received with no ordi-
nay consideration.
