How a Darkey Caught a Turtle.

A few days ago a negro man was
fishing in the Petaula creek, Georgia,
when he hung a huge turtle in the
mouth with small perch hook. He
managed to raise the turtles head
partly out of the water, and held
him in that position with his mnhth
open until several gallons Of water
had run down his throat. The tur-
tie then dropped its head over to
one side, and the negro, thinking he
had drowned it, jumped into the
creek. He caught the turtle by the
tail, pct it between his teeth and
held on to it while he cut slit in
two of the feet for hand holds. He
then started for the bank, but found
it severe struggle, AS the turtle
would hold to roots and branches Of
trees in the creek. The negro finally
got the turtle on its back and pushed
il out of the water. The turtle
weighed seventy seven pounds, and
had head that measured seven and
Il half inches across the top.

Vitality Of a Gold Fish.

Jessie Tapley, Of Maple street, has
a gold fish that performs some
singular feats. The other evening
he surprised the family circle by
jumping out of the globe upon the
liable, but was put back without
apparent injury. This morning he
was found on the carpet dry and
stiff and to all appearances dead,
having jumped ont OF the globe
during the night. Funeral services
were being performed over the re-
mains when a slight movement Of
the gils was detected. Instead Of
being buried he was put into water
and in few minutes began to move
a fin and gradually revived, and now
is swimming round just as though
he had never been dead, or rather
hadn't come SD near committing sui
eide by several hours sojourn on
the floor Exchange.

THE DEMOCRATS SHOWING
THEIR HAND.

Some Of the Democratic hold -over
Senator'S seect to be slated At the re-
suit Of the recent election in this
State, as far as the Legislature is
concerned. They say, "when We
Democrats go back to Carson we
will introduce all sorts Of radical
measures which will be exceedingly
popular, but which will have to be
defeated because OF their unconsti-
nationality, or for some other reason
of state poiity. As the Republicans
will be in the majority the people
will blame the Republican party
for the defeat Of those measures, and
e ut the next election the State will go
overwhelmingly Democratic y This
policy MAY succeed, but it is posi-
BILE that the Democrats may have
the tables TUNED on them.

Some Of the comparatively un-

HAPPY ANSWERS.

A pretty long list might be made
of men who have owed their ad-
vancement in life to a smart answer
uiven at the right moment. One Of
Napoleon's veterans, who survived
his master many years, was wont to
recount with great glee how he had
once picked up the Emperor's cooked
hat at a review, when the latter, not
noticing that be was a private, said
carelessly. THANK YOU, Captain"

RETAIN A GOOD SERVANT.

There is movement on foot,
among the legislative delegates re-
Gently elected in Storey county. TO
remove General C. G. Battermsn
from the wardenship of the State
Prison, to appoint another Republic
can in shis place who is more 10
favor with the legislstors-elect. The
grounds for General Batterman's re-
nova. are not known, and it u likely
that no valid objections exist; but it
is presumed that, should the General
not resign coon after the Legislature
assemblies, 9 searching inquiry will
be instituted into States Prison af-
fairs with the view Of discovering
something upon which report sufi-
GENTLY unfavorahle to justify the
Warden's removal can be based.
This looks like persecution, and will
doubtless. not be countensncsd BY
the bulk of the Republican party
throughout the State. Whatever may
be said of General Batterman in
private life, his administration of the
State Prison has been more salts
factory than that Of any Warden
who preceded him, and be should not
only be permitted but urgently re-
quested to remain in Office during
his @continued good BEHAVIOR" Is
the phrase goes
