WINTER .4LLIGITORS.
The Astonishing story Told ny Traveller
from, Minnesota to New York.

Prom ne C',reltad P'aiadcuhr.
Among the passengers on the Lake Shore
train this morning WIS scientific gentleman
who said he owned n farm on the shores Of Lake
Minnesota. The gentleman said he was going
through to New York with several nlligators
caught in that lake. knowing that Lake pupin,
in Minnesota. covered as II Is with ice Tor seven
months in the year. WAS rather a cold latitude
for nlligntors, our reporter was curious to know
more OF the strange phenomenon, The gentle
man went on n explain that the alligators were
quite common in the lake. and that the inhabi-
tants usually caught them through holes in the
Ice with hooks baited with young kittens.
Then you have seen a good many OF them p
inquired our reporter.
On yes, thousands OF them. | have nine
large ones now In the freight car"
What prevents them from freezing In that
cold latitude p asked our reporter.
On. they are covered with thick fur like
seals. They ara winter alligators, and only
make their appearance In cold weather"
Winter nliigutors-you say ?"
Yes. winter alligdtorS. Ii II thought by MIN
neSptA nnturallsts that these alligntors lodged
in Lake peuin during the warm period Of the
worlds history. when the mammoth and .thoS-
grow colder nature provided them with fur.
The alligator is n tough animal. aud the fact
that he should live in northern water when the
'css hardy ithosticus and mammalia became
extinct Is good proof OF Darwin's theory Of the
survival OF the ilttest.' Nature. you see. pro-
Vi les for any emergency Thus when the sea-
sons changed from the muscatory or testa Pc
Rod into the glacial period the fur on the alli-
tfpr took tho place OF scales. Would You like

GARRARD AND BROWN.

Ex>Gov. J. K. BROWN seems to
be getting the best Of Mr.. Garrard
in the newspaper controversy Ex>
Gov. Brown says when he agreed
with Gen. Meade to prosecute the
Columbus prisoners, it was the con-
tract that he BROWN was to control
the case, and in the event of con-
viction by the military court before
the civil government was restored,
that there was to be no execution of
the Oentence, but the prisoners were
to be held until civil government was
restored in the State, and the cases
were to be turned over to the civil
authority. General VIM. Phillips
says Gov, Brown so informed him at
the time he was employed. DR..
Lawton says he heard Brown tell
Hon. A. II, Stephens about the same,
and now Col. Campbell Wallace says
Gen. Meade informed him that the
military court would never arrive at
a conclusion 10 the trial of the Co
Iumbus prisoners. All of these gen.
tlemen are well known in Georgia,
and their standing for honesty and
varacity have never been disputed,
and their declarations go to sustain
Gov. Brown in every particular.
Up to this time Brown certainly has
the best of the fght.--GriGm NescS.
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1879-10-09

Senator Ingalls, of Kansas is just
now on the investigation griddle,
and, it must be said, is getting burn
ed The accusation was that he
bribed members Of the Legislature
to vote for his return to the United
States Senate. Instead of counting
investigation, he did what be could
to prevent it, but it was ordered,
and this is a sample of the testimony
elected on Wednesday:
George l.. White testified that
he had gone to the Tiff House to
meet a friend, and saw Danford and
Col. Dawes Danford asked witness
how he would vote, and, learning
that he was for Horton, said he had
So, 900 which had been handed to
him by Ingalls,, which he was going
to spend, and wanted him to vote
for Ingalls,. He then offered $500
if the witness would vote for Ingalls,.
Witness refused, and Danford asked
him not to "give him a way"
Should there be much more testi-
mony of this sort, there is likely to
be vacancy on the Republican side
10 the Senate Chamber.

NOT GULL.

The Senate after "much speak
iug" reached vote on the impoach-
ment of Treasurer Renfroe, last
Tuesday, and the verdict was not
guilty, as it required a twothirds
vote to convict.
Upon the first three articles the
vote stood, guilty" %; mot gull
ty,"17. Those voting not guilty,
were: Messrs. Boyd, Bryan, Casey,
Cabaniss, Cumming, DuBose, Fain,
Hamilton (2lst), Harrison, Hawkins,
Howell, Mcleod, Preston, Tison
(1Oth), Troutman, Turner, Well~
born-17. Mr.. Speer was absent,
and Mr.. Wall, the new member de-
clined to vote. The other Senators
voted guilty.
The vote upon the fourth article
was the same except that DIR. Hud-
son voted not guilty.
Upon the fifth article the vote
stood guilty 7, not guilty 80
The vote upon the sixth and last
article was guilty Is, not guilty "a.
Upon no article did a constitu-
tional majority vote guilty.
Renfroe's acquittaI, of course, will
meet the approval of some and dis
approval of others. All men do not
see alike, and therefore do not act
from the same convictions of duty
and sense of justice and right. We
believe the Senators voted con-
scieDciously, that while Renfroe VIC
lated law, he did not do SO corrupt"
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1879-10-09
NO CAUSE For DIVISION.

Here 10 soIid chunk of wisdom
from the Sparta Ishmaelite "There
is not a single substantial reason,
why the Democratic party in Geor~
eia should be divided on local Isl
sues. True, there is diversity OF
sentiment, on matters of home inter-
est, in every community in the
State but these differences are as
to methods, and not as to principles.
1t will! not do for us to divide just
for the fun of the thing for it will
be found, in the end, that there was
no fun in division. The people are
all opposed to corrupt methods, and
it is absolutely in their power to IN
stitute honest ones. 1t is absurd for
the members of party who have
common hope, a common sympathy,
a common end in view, to fall out,
wrsngle and fight over so small a
matter as the desire to advance par
licular men to Office. Georgia has
right to expect of US something
better than that. 10 view of the
crisis that is ahead of US in the af'
fairs of this aggregation of republics,
let us stand together like a Mace
DOMAIN phaIanx, until the threaten
ed empire shall have no present
terror for US and no future alarms
for our children"

Long visits, long stories, long essays,
long exhortations, and long prayers,
seldom profit those who have to do
with them. Life is short. Time is
short.
Moments are precious. Learn to
condense, abridge, and intensity.
We can bear things that are dull, if
they are only short. We can endure
many an ache and i'll if it is over
soon, while even pleasures grows in>
sipid, and pain intolerable, if they
are protracted beyond the limits of
reason and convenience. Learn to
be short. Lop off branches stick to
the main fact in your case. If you
pray, ask for what you think you
will receive, and get through; if you
speak, tell your message and hold
your peace; boil down two sentences
into one, and three words into two.
Always, when practicable, avoid
Iengthiness learn to be short.
