MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

10 drumming last week for the
JOURNAL, we heard a lawyer OF Ce-
dartown relate funny incident OF
actual recent occurrence. A gentle
man had horse stolen and couple
of DAYS after he met we'll known
citizen riding along the public road
to Summervile, in Chattoogs coun>
~. and told him that the horse he
was riding was bis. 1 he gentleman
doubted it, but the other gentleman
ssid he was certain about it. He
then replied, that he had bought the
animal the day before, but if he
would make an affidavit that the
horse was his property be would
give him up, as be knew from whom
he had bought. The gentleman
went before justice of the peace
aud swore to the horses age, color
and that he was the rightful owner.
The well.known ciizen gave up the
stolen animal and started off to see
bis neigbbor from he had purchased
him the day before, while the other
citizen carried his horse home and
put him up in the stable. lie went
to bis house all smiling and graft
fed, and said to his better>haIf :
"WelI, wife, have got Selim p
"You have 7" she eagerly question

and | told him that he had my
horse, and he gave him up, only re-
curing me to swear to his iOdenti-
ty, which | cheerfOlly did," The
wife said, "WelI, am truly glad /;
let me go down and take look at
poor SeIlm." Off they went, and
on arriving at the stable, the KEEN
eyed, observant wife took in the ami
NAL from head to heels. Suddenly
with surprised expression of face,
she said why, its a mare " And
sure enough it was, the very oppo
site 10 sex TO the animal stolen
The crestfalen husband carried the
animal to his neighbor's house, sew
en- miles away, and turned the mare
into the lot without ever stopping to
see the owner to explain matters.
If 10 the first instance he had been
arrested before he got home, no one
could have saved him from beirg
convicted of perjury. AS it was, be
was honestly mistaken, and imme|
dtateIy rectified the mistake.

SINGULAR CLIMATE BFFEcrs.

Says the Denver (Col } Great
West; Il is a singuar fact that al
most every body loses flesh on COM
ing here from the East. The aver
age loss in weight sustained is about
one eighth. For instance, in the
course of two or three months, 200
pound man loses % pounds and be-
comes a l75 FOUNDER. This is due
to the high altitude of Denver-a
mile above the sea to the dry and
ieht atmosphere, to scarcity of veg
itation and the comparative abun>
dance of oxygen, which cor sumes
the tissues and taxes the vital func-
tons to a greater extent than on
lower attitudes Higher up i is
much worse than here. A.. Lead
vile, for instance, which is two miles
above the sea level, the. diminuton
in weight does not generally fall
short of a sixth o.. seventh; and it
takes place much. more rapidly than
here. In ths'. high altitude, too,
lung diseases, such as pneumonis,
very frequently set in, and they
prove t'.tal in about 30 per cent. OF
the c,4ses attacked. But very few
dogs, except hounds, can live in
J .eadville, and no cats survive there.
I In Denver. however. we have a null
iitude of both dogs and cats, and
they appear to experience no spe>
cial difficulty about living and get
ting fat.
Yet it is a noticeable fact that an
finals and men lose a share of their
strength after coming here. After
being here two or three months their
muscular power is not near so great
as in the East Eight hours If con-
tinuous labor does more to exhaust
and PROSTATE a man here than ten
hours 10 Illinois or Wisconsin. And
when worn out and prostra ed a feel
ing of lassitude and drowsineSs that
it is very difficult to dispeI comes
over one In such instances, many
hours of rest are required to repair
and rebuild the wasted energies.
Mental labor is even more exhaust
ing then physical, A healthy man
may do manual labor for eight or ten
hours a day and experience there's
from no special evil effects but let
mental labor be pursued with like
assiduity and the nervous system be-
comes weakened and irritable. 10
time. the physical powers become
disordered and weakened by sym~
pathy and by the strain upon them
to supply the brain waste. These
facts are more practicable of new
corners than of those who have resi-
ded for year or more at high sltlr
tudes. Persons and animals thor
oughly acclimated do not expert
ence these drawbacks. Indeed,
these could not look better anywhere
than they appear here, The great
difficulty is in getting acclimated.

A GEORGIA Roy IN TEXAS.

The Fort Worth Democrat of 2lst
ult., says yesterday afternoon at
about 3 o'clock, Pat Doolan and Mr..
Fred Cooper arrived from Fort
Quitmau. having 10 charge the re-
mains of the lamented Gen. Bryne.
Pat reports deal of cold weather on
the trip, and says he had hard
time generally. Notwithstanding
the fact that Gen. Grierson refused
to furnish them an escort, these two
daring men travelled alone through
the dangerous canyons and passes OF
the far west, and despite all the at
tendaut difficulties secured the body
and brought it to Fort Worth for in
terment. Too much cannot be said
10 praise of the daring, cool headed
scout, Pat Doolsn, and his brave
young companion, Mr.. Fred Cooper.
As soon as the body arrived, Mrs.
Bryne wss notified Of the fact, and
by her orders it was conveyed to the
Episcopal church, where it now lies
We put Pat DoOiau. the vary,
bold ecout. and his brave young
comrade. Fred Cooper, against the
world for intrepid hardihood and
nerve. The distance travelled BY
them were just 800 miles. aud

THE BOOM IN FERTILIZERS.

Like everything else, fertilizers
have shared 10 the general advance
in prices, and the indications are
that the supply will soon become in =
adequate to the demand, as con-
sumption is increasing at an enor-
nous rate in all portions of the
country. We infer this from a trade
circular recently addressed to man.
ufacturers Of commercial fertilizers
by Mr.. Winfield S. Dunan, of Balti-
more, one of the most prominent bro
kers in the country.
From this circular we make the
following extract, which will be read
with interest by both dealers and
farmers, and will suggest to the lat
ter the necessity of economizing as
far as possible their home manures
and utilizing their cotton seed. Says
the circular:
"From the best information we
can obtain, we conclude that the
manufacturers of fertilizers for the
year ending July LIST, 1880, cOusum-
cd the whole product of ammouiates
to that date; and now as the de-
mands for ammoniAted fertilizers
upon manufacturers are increasing,
we do not know where the supply of
ammOniates is to come from, for so
far as we are capable Of judging,
every available source of nitrogen is
now being formulated into an ammo
Mate for making fertilizers. With
all these facts before us we must
conclude that there is not the least
likelihood of fertilizer materials be
ing any lower 10 price this season.
