A BRILLIANT meteor is described i'll a
recent telegram from Macon, Ga. /: A
meteor as large as barrel, starting from
the zenith, plunged down the northeast
ern sky, and exploded with a report that
reverberated for thirty seconds and
shook the earth at this point. The me-
teor was about five seconds falling, dur
ing which time the city was lit up as by
all electric light Much excitement pre-
vailed in the negro quarters. The in
habitants rushed into their houses,
closed the doors, and filed the air with
their screams and prayers. The time
between the disappearance of the me-
teor and the report was about fifteen
minutes.

A STRANGE story of the hardships of
Russian captivity is related by Ger
man engineer named Neumeyer. He
was busily engaged in experimenting
the construction of new railway in the
South Of Russia, when he saw himself
suddenly surrounded by body of police
an'' made prisoner. On being shown a
photograph portrait, he innocently ex-
claimed Where have you got this
picture from? have never had my
likeness taken" This extraordinary re-
semblance of his to Louis Hartmann, or
rather Wolkoff (the alleged author of the
Moscow attempt on the Emperor's life),
and scar on his right hand, brought
poor Neumeyer into a serious predica-
ment. lie was put In chains, taken to
Moscow, submitted to a wearisome in
vestigation, then dragged across the
country on foot to Warsaw, with no
nourishment other than bread, cabbage
and spoiled fish on a journey of forty
four days. After spending about six
weeks more in prison on bread and
water, surrounded by low set of crimi-
nails awaiting their transportation to ST.
IBERIA, he succeeded in forwarding let
ter to the Governor General Of Polade,
whose brother had formerly employed
Neumeyer on his estates in Esthonia.
Thanks to Count Kotzebue's interces-
sion, Count Lofis Melikoff allowed the
poor victim to return to Germany in a
penniless condition, covered with ver-
min, and wearing the same clothes in
which he had been seized, and which
had never been washed.

A MOVEMENT, originated by Sir An

a gigantic scale. The Ideals combina-

with aid from the state, emigration to
British colonies, for it is noted with
alarm that those now seeking elbow

limits of England, go to swell the growth

stead OF aiding to build up the colonies.

JOHN STEELE, the "Coal Gil Johnny Y

was in 1864, when he was 81, that the
striking of oil on farm that he had in

faith, and SO soon as she could honorably
release herseltin that direction, Kanawha
would contribute her full share.
The following resolution, offered by
Hon. J. n. Camden, was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That books OF subscription to

A paragraph, telegraphed here about
Parnell's speech at New. York, leads to the
influence that the exaggerated accounts OF
the affair at Cararoe county, Friday
last, have reached the United States. The
facts are that the police, who were pro.
tecting the process servers, were assaulted |
and stoned by mob, which had assem-
bled to prevent the service OF the process
servers. The police fired four shots over
the heads OF the mob, and then charged
with fixed bayonets, whereupon the mob
fed. There were reports among the peas
antry that six or seven Of their number
had been injured, but the authorities have
been unable to find any Of them. -Four
OF the ring leaders OF the mob have since
been arrested and committed for trial.
