dumping the contents of the sack
right down on the floor, and telling
her that when it came TO eontribu-

be outdone by no man living.
HShe invited the officers to sup
per, and she cooked every chicken
on the ranch, and set out slider as
free as water. We were having a
pretty good time, when long, lank
old coon came in, and che said it was

The entire mess rose and started

How Georgia Woman Was Paid for
Her Chickens.

Governor Murray tells a laugha-
bic story Of his experiences 10 the
Georgia march to the sea which is
worth repeating:
"Spea ing of the famous march
through Georgia" said the governor,
Il never shall forget the amount of
money it cost me to keep an old
woman from crying to death. Of
course we were Obliged to subsist off
the country as we went along, and
we naturally took alb )ut the best in
s'gbt. One day we took possession
of chicken rancho kept b. an old
lady, who stood at the front gate
with broom aud threatened to lick
all of Shermans forces if they did
not move ON. n Nv, chickens were
CONSIDERED as officers meat, and as
We were intern lily hungry we went
for taose old hens pretty live
ly. When she saw that her
favorite fowls were being caught
aud xii ed, she ke' led right over and
began 10 cry. Presently she began
t. scream, and finally you could hear
that woman's yell clear to Atlanta ]
sent the surgeons in to quiet her, but
they failed, aud all the oficers took
turns, but the more attention paid
her the more she howled then e t
pretty nervous over the Internal
noise, because the whole army would
hear IT, and they might suppose that
somebody was torturing the woman.
Finally Sherman rode up and asked
what it was all about, and when we
told him he sud: &c We her a
bushel Ct Confederate bonds for her
hens, and see if that won't stop her,
Acting on this hint, 1 proceeded to
business. We had captured a Con-
federate train the day before, with
81 100000 of Confederate money, and
l hunted up the train at once. Well,
I stuffed about half a million dol
lars in an old czrpetsack and marched
into the house.
Madam, said I, opening the
sack, LII give you S5O,OOO to quit
this noise 1t was as still as death
in minute, and then her face e1-
panded in o broad smile. I laid the
packages Of money on the table, and
I never saw such a delighted wo-
man The effect pleased me, and I
continued: "General Sherman pre-.

LONGEVITY.
What is the Extreme limit of Human
Life
Popular Science Monthly,

Life.
Popular Science Monthly.
Can man reach and pass the age of
100 years is question concerning
which Psychologists have different
opinions. Button was the first one
in France to raise the question of the
extreme limit of human life. In his
opinion, man, becoming adult at 16,
ough ht to live six times that age, Or
% So years. Having been called
upon to account for the phenomenal
ages attributed by the Bible to the
patriarchs, he risked the following as
an explanation: Before the food
the earth was less sohd, less compact
than it is now The law of grayita-
ton had acted for only little time
the productions of the globe had less
consistency, and the body Of man,
being more supple, was more suscep-
tlble of ext nsion. Being able TO
grow for longer time, it should, in
consequence, live for longer time
than now"
The German Heusler has suggest
ed on the same point that the an
GENTS did not divide time as we do.
Previous to the age of Abraham, the
year, among some people of the East,
was only three months, or a season !;
so that they had year of spring, one
of summer, oEe of fall and one of
winter. The year was extended SO
as to consist of eight months after
Abraham aud of twelve months after
Joseph. Voltaire rejected the lon
gevity assigned to the patriarcbs of
the Bible, but accepted without ques
tion the stories of the great ages at
tanned by some men in India, where,
he says, "it is not rare to see old
men of 120 years The eminent
French physioligist, Flourens, fixing
the complete development of man at
70 years, teaches that he should live
five Zines as long as it takes him to
become au iult According to this
au thor, the moment Of a comp eted
development may be recognized by
the fact Of the junction of the bones
with their apophyses. This Junction
takes place in horses at 5 years, and
the horse does not live beyond 25
years; with tue OK at 4 years, and it
does not live over 20 years with the
cat at Is months, and that animal
rarely lives over 10 years. WI b
man 1t is effected at 20 years, and ! 9
only exceptionally lives beyond 100
years. The same Psychologist ad :
mlls, however, that human life may
beexceptionally prolonged u der Ger

Hered tary Crime.
From the BiDghamton Republican.

Is crime hereditary? There is
much evidence to show that it is. A
recent interview with Mr.. A. II. La
M ,nte,tle superinten lent of the Sus-
quehanna Valley Il Jlne, who, rom bis
position, has an exce,lent opportuni
ty for observation, strongly corrob>
crates this proposition. Nearly
year ago a boy who was considered
Que of the most trusty and honest in
the Home was placed with a good
family, and for a time his conduct
was IN every way exemplary. OF
late, however, he has developed so
strong propensity far stealing that
the family, who are earnestly solici>
tous far the boys welfare, are very
anxious on his account. The boy tha
was sent this week from the Home o
the house OF refuge has never, so far
as can be learned, been SO situated
as to be educated to thievery. He
had been an inmate OF the Home for
nearly three years, and until recent
ly no tendency to kleptomania was
discovered. As he was interesting
and bright, much pains was taken
with him. Very few boys of his age,
or of any age, had as much Bible
knowledge as he, and he was noticea
BILE for general intelligence. A few
months since, to the great surprise
OF the superintendent and al who
knew the lad intimately, suspicion

Mr.. Topnoody went to the min

undrums and Jokes he heard set him
to thinking. So at breakfast he be-
gan on Mrs. Topnoody. She was
warm, ond not very much in the hu-
NOR for pleasantly, but Topnoody
slashed away:
II sap, Mrs. Topnoody, can you
spell hard water with three letters p
No, l can't; I might, though, if
you had taken me to the minstrels

little, but not seriously.
Aud you can't sp5llit? Well,
ice, amt that hard water?"
Mrs. Topnoody never smilec, and
Mr.. L. went on:
Nov spell money with four
letters"
Il don't know how she said.
Ha, ha, that's too good, A
weman never can get at this sort o
thing i'll the ,ame clear headed way d
man can. Well, the way to spell il
is cash, amt that money!?
Again did Mrs. L. fail to smile
and Topnoody started out wit
another.

the way to spell it is, fool; ain

except an occasional chuckle from

OK the subject of Confederate
bonds, a Washington special to the
Cincinnati Commercial says:
The recent unaccountible rise in
the price Of Confederate bonus res
veals the improvident manner in
which the Government has admins
tered upon the estate of the late
Southern G Confederacy. At the close OF
the war, information then i'll the posses
sion of the Government showed that
the Confederate Government had de-
posted and secreted in Europe prop
erty to the amount of $4,000. 1t
is nov believed that this sum should
at least be multiplied by four, in OF
der TO fully represent tuls property.
1t is known that at least ten large,
fine steamers belonging to the Con
federacy were IN foreign ports when
the war closed Machinery for riHiug
cannon, said TO have cost a mil
lion and half dol ars, and
250 chronometers captured by
the pirate Semmes are among
the effects, the existence of which
was known to our Government soon
after the close of the war Aside
from these, it was supposed that a
large amount of money had been de-
posted in different banks in London
by the Confederate authorities and
by private individuals then i'll the
South. The Secretary OF the Treas
ury has on more than one occasion
made futile attempts to get some
clue to this pr perry and obtain pos
session of ii. Agents have been sent
to England for this purpose, but
they have never succeeded In recov-
erlug single dollar of the millions
said to have exi,ted. Secretary
Sherman made contract with one
man, agreeing TO give him fifty pei
cent. of al he could collect,
but he accomplished nothing
at least the Government deris ed no
benefit from his trip. The Treasury
Department is now taking active
steps to procure such information il
leoafd to the recent purchase Of
bonds as will offer some clue to The
cause of this remarkable boom IL
Confederate stocks, and possibly leao
to the recovery o some OF the lost
property. The Department officers
are inclined to look with suspicion
upon the frequent trlps OF jeff Davi
across the Water, and to believe tina
they have been in some way connec
ted with the disposition of Confed
crate properly stored or secret,'
there He is IN London now. In
Treasury Department hopes to oil
tain information In few d. s. tia
will throw some light upon t.ie hi,h
erto mysterious transac ions in rebe
bonds.
