THE MUTE YOUNG LADY
Chattanooga Times.

A few days ago young lady
boarded the train at Nashville bound
for this city. She was attractive in
person and we'll dressed, When
the conductor approached her for
her ticket, her face assumed a
mournful expression, her eyes be-
come suffused with tears, and mid
her sobs she succeed in showing the
conductor, by signs, that she was
mute, poor destitute orphan girl,
seeking friends in East Tennessee.
Her sad tale awoke chord of sym~
PATTY in the tender breast of the
conductor, and she was allowed to
remain on the train.
Soon after her arrival here, Mar
shall Lowry learned that destitute
deaf and dumb girl was in the city
end desired transportation to Phila-
delphia, Tenn, where she claimed
she had friends. The kind marshal
sought out the young lady, and by
signs, notes and otherwise she soon
convinced the marshal of the truth
of her story He was likewise NOV
ed and sought the conductor of the
E. I. train and repeated to him the
young girls mournful tale, which
touched him SO that he agreed to
take the girl to her destination
She kept reserved and submis>
sive attitude during the trip, appear,
ing utterly oblivious of all sounds,
and looking as deaf as post and as
dumb as an oyster.
When the train reached Philadel,
phia, the young lady arose, smile
overspread her features, and advanc-
ing to the conductor she spoke to
him few words of thanks for his
kindness, wishing him a farewell,
Ieaped lightly from the cars where
she was quietly joined by a young
man who had to all appearance been
her.
The young man took the arm OF
the "mute" (who could hear and
talk) ADD together they procured
marriage license and in few min-
utes were married.
The young lady is the daughter
of respectable parents of Springfield,
Ill. She ran away from home to
marry the young Philadelphisn, who
is school teecher. La her hurry to
leave, she forgot to pracuro travel
ing expenses. aud beat her way by
the 'deof and dumb racket.

THE RADICAL CONVENTION AT
KINGSTON
From the Rome Courier. ]

| tilS AsOuiC COuilCI.
KINGSTON, GA, Aug. 81, 1880
The Radical mass meeting of the
9TH Congressional District was there
to day, and it was respectable il
color and members.
The meeting was called to order
by Col. Jesse A Glenn, of Whitfield,
chairman of the Republican Execut
tive Committee in the District, and
after the call Col. Glenn was made
permanent chairman.
Higinbothom and Graves, colored
were made secretaries, and then the
business commenced, and it was for
five hours confusion confouUdod,
eight or ten on the floor at one time
bawling out "Mr. Cheermon, | rise
to a pint of order" ETC., and so on
ad ininitum. 1t was impossible for
spectator to understand what they
wanted to do or make an intelligent
guess at it, as every member, white
and black, was pregnant with a
speech and all wanted to be deliver
ed at the same time. Delegates
we're appointed to the State conven
ton to be held at Atlanta September
9Th, and no nomination will be made
for Congress until after the State
convention.
A very animated debate was had
over a resolution offered by Henry
ODER, colored, of Floyd, that no Re-
publican should vote for any candi-
date who would not vote for Garfield
and Arthur, and the resolution was
voted down 10 part by the paid de
voices of FELTON,. This say not
from my own knowledge, but have
it from several members of the con-
vention that DR.. FELTON, gave Mid
dIebrooks S25 yesterday to pay the
expenses of colored men to the
meeting here for the purpose of
bursting it up or prevent the meet
ing from making a nomination of a
candidate for Congress, and it was
also charged in open meeting and
not successfully refuted.
Col G. D. Forsyth, of Floyd, was
elected as elector, and Middlebrooks,
alternate, on the Garfield and Ar
thur ticket.
Some of the speakers to day, 10
advocating the election of DR.. Eel
ton, said his election would rebound
to the interest of Garfield and Ar
thur. Zach Hargroves is happy.

Joseph PospischiIl, who is now a
prisoner 10 the Austrian fortress of
Ofen, on conviction of highway rob
berry, is said to be the strongest man
living. One Of the feats for which
he was renowned was to support in
the air, with his hands and teeth,
unaided, a large table upon which
two gypsies danced, while a third
fddled. He and one of his broth
ers, only less powerful than himself,
were wont to bear upon their shout
ders a wooden platform, shaped like
bridge, while a cart full of stones,
drawn by two khorses, was driven
over it. The other day, when the
Jail 10 which he is confined was un>
dergoing visit from the municipal
prison inspectors, this Hercules vol
unteered to give the authorities a
specimen of his powers, and, upon
receiving their permission to do SO,
picked up with his teeth a heavy
mahogany table, nine feet long, be-
longing to the Governor, and balanc
ed it aloft for nearly half a min
ute.

Two swindIers made more than
$4,000 10 a week, 10 San Francis
co, by plan of which the following
caseiis an illustration One of them
made the acquaintance of restau>
rant keeper, and talked about buy
ing his establishment. They met
again in the street, and the second
swindIer introduced himself as a
stranger who was about to return 70
home in Europe. He said he had
his fortune iu the bag which he was
carrying, and wanted their advice as
to what to do with it. He broke
open one of the rolls which the bag
contained, showing $40 gold pieces
The first swindler proposed to the
restaurant man that they should
steal this money. To do this, he
said, it would be necessary to induce
the foreigner to intrust the bag to
him. This could be brought about,
he thought if the restaurant man
would set an example by putting
SO, 900 into his hands ostensibly for
safe keeping. This was done, and
of course he disappeared with it.

s5th SENATORIAL CONVENTION.


The Both Senatorial Convention
met in Atlanta 3 lst ult., and ballot
ted two days and a half before max
ing nomination. Fulton county
presented John B. Goodwin as theil
candidate, Clayton presented John
I. Spence, and Cobb presented W.
NJ. Sessions. G. II. Anderson and
j. B. Blackw we'll were voted for on
several ballots. Judge Mcintosh
refused to allow his name to go be-
fore the convention. On the 169th
ballot Mr.. Goodwin withdrew his
name. The Fulton delegation then
divided, casting three votes for
Spence, two for Sessions and one for
A. A. Cloud of Clayton, making the
vote stand, Spence 3, Sessions 6,
Cloud l. Two other ballots were
had without change, when l.. j.
Glenn was voted on, resulting in
Sessions 6, Cloud 4, Glenn 2.
Judge Mcintosh put Will J.
Winn in nomination. Mr.. VIM
said he was there by proxy, and his
fellow delegates could vote for him
they chose to do so, but he would
continue to cast his ballot for Ses>
sions. On the 10th ballot the vote
stood VIM 6, Cloud ., Sessions
Mr.. VIM asked leave of absence
and Mr.. Mcintosh cast the full vote
of Cobb for him, and for the next
seven ballots the vote stood VIM
6, Cloud 6. BY some mistake on
the part of the Fulton delegation,
the lS4th ballot gave VIM Z, but
before the result could be declared,
a delegate changed his vote and the
tie remained unbroken. For the
next four ballots the vote stood !:
VIM 6, Cloud 5, Goodwin /.
The votes then changed to a tie
between Winn and Cloud. On the
l95th ballot the vote stood VIM
Z, Cloud 8; and Mr. Winn was de-
clared the duly elected nominee of
the democi attic party for the state
senate 10 the Both senatorial district.
The chairman, Col. P. w. Alex
ander, made a short address, speak
ing in the highest terms of the nom,
inee. Mr.. VIM in his brief address
to the convention, after the nomiua
ton, expressed determination, if

Mistakes will happen. A servant
in hotel was directed to carry a
glass of medicine to a sick man and
a cocktail to the man in the next
room. He put both glasses on one
tray, and visiting the sick man first,
the latter somehow took the cock
tails for his medicine, and then the
waiter took the medicine, which
tasted like the very mischief to the
other man, who took a big swallow
of it, and then got up and blasphem-
ed frightfully and kicked the waiter
down four flights of stairs.

A Man Found.

Sunday forenoon cry was heard
that ga man was found below Neeves
MILL" The suppositon to US was that
it was our lost lamented George, but
on investigation we found it to be on
ly the ''scull of man" and badly de-
composed which prevented any specu-
lation of its being any portion of Mr..
Ferguson. The head was found by
the Martin boys, JoTah and Willie, in
the sand below NecVes Mill. It was
taken to Warren's cabinet shop and
Justice Woodwork took it in charge.
The most plausible theory of its ap-
pearance down there is that it was
some grave along the river that be-
came unearthed By the food, the
water carrying it down where it was
found. There was no way of identi-
flying it.
