SAD CASE OF INSANITY.

Cured in this (Monroe) county, and
should be written up as a warning to
vicious boys, if that class are sup
posed to ever have warnings. A. J.
Payne, of Salt Creek Township, has
bright and pretty little daughter of
seven years, who attended the dis
trict school in the neighborhood of
her fathers farm, % a pleasant
morning about four years ago, while
on her way to school, the girl was
met by vicious neigbbor hey, three
or four years older than herself, and
who had a dead black snake which
he carried on a stick. He thrust
the dead snake into the girls face,
and she was 30 terrified she could
not run away. Then he took the
snake and wrapped it around her
neck and shoulders and ran off leav-
ing her thus environed. She shook
the reptile off and fastened on to
school. The child was greatly agi
tated during the entire forenoon, and
when che returned home her parents,
greatly alarmed, urged her to tell
them what had occurred, for her con-
duct WAS wild and strange. She
gave the story in disjointed man

she has recognized no one, but daily
sat with her little slate on her lap,

been given as lesson at school on
the fatal day on which the vicious
boy placed the dead snake about her

A TAME EAGLE THAT WORRIES
DOGS.

Some three months ago, while
hunting in the mountains east of the
TweIve>mile House, Mr.. Burlington
captured young American eagle.
At the time the bird was quite small
aud from appearances but few
weeks old. Mr.. Burlington has his
pet confned in the yard back of his
shop, and the many and curious
monkey shines INDUCED in by the
mountain bird are really amusing
Measuring some eight feet from tip
to tip end weighing forty pounds,
with talOns three inches in length,
there is but small chance for any
dogs residing in the neighborhood.
For ss sure az canine makes his
appearance, the eagle spreads his
heavy wings, and with loud scream
he lights upon the back of his terrOr>
stricken dog, The scene that fol"
lows is one of great interest. The
dog, without further notice, darts
through the side gate and out into
the street, with the eagle attached
to his back, and that too in a man
ner to stay. Down the street he
goes at break neck speed. AT a
distance of about two blocks the ca
gle bids the dog an afectionate adien
and quietly returns, as though moth
ing had happened. The same ex-
pertinent is gone through with when-
ever the dog can be procured. 1t
does not seem necessary to remark
that dogs Of any description are sci
dom seen in that part of the town,
and the same dog never more than
once. 1t would be a blessing to our
city if we had one such bird on each
block. 1t would save our pound
master much unnecessary trouble. -
, San Jose Mercury.
If we only had few such eagles
in Georgia, sheep raising might be
profitable.

SENATOR BECK ON PROTECTION.

In the Senate, on last Thursday,
Mr.. Beck. of Kentucky, made a
sound aud logical speech in favor of
doing away with the present protect
i've system and allowing all citizens
of the Union equal chances in the
race for wealtS, and of giving every
man chance to work, unfettered by
laws passed in the interest of favor
ed classes and monoposies. He
closed with following patriotic sen
fences: koN
"My SOLO obsntt is to take all
steps possible at the earliest moment,
aud at the least cost, to restore our
commercial marine and regain our
share of the carrying trade of the
world l oppose the tariff taxation
aud subsidy system as | would OPP
pose building Chinese wall round
the borders Of this Republic. | have

nav&atil SYs of Cromwell than |

es, or prose- v ed men for their reli-
gious opinion 10 bis day, "Old
times have changed, old manners
gone" Men Of different nationali
Ties no longer think II necessary to
destroy each other in order to be
great. They seek to trade rather
than fight, and by exchange enable
each other to have the comforts
which the varied climates, conditions
and talents of all cen supply. Free
intercourse means chespness and
abundance of all these things to the
masses, Restriction on trade and
intercourse, taxation and subsidy,
all produce scarcity and increase
cost.
England and ker dependencies
buy now more than one half of all
we sell to the world. They are our
best customers, because they are al
lowed to buy at prime cost. They
are rich because their earnings pur-
chase more than the same amount
will elsewhere. Believing that
liberal policy will make us the great
est people upon earth, | seek to re-
move all restrictions as rapidly as
possible ; and as we are building no
ships for foreign trade, aud have
none, | trust Congress will allow our
people to buy them as all other peo>
pie do, and enter the contest for the
business of the world once more on
something like fair terms.

TRAGIC DEATH.

Yesterday morning in the Super
Tor Court, the case of Victoria Hays
VS.. Emanuel Hays, libel for divorce,
was called, Col, J. c. Harris repre-
resenting the defendant and John l..
Hardeman the iibellant. The evil
deuce for the libellant, Victoria
Hays, had been given when the de-
tense put upon tho stand hale, we'll
dressed negro by the name of Robert
Tucker to break down her testimo
ny, she having stated as a ground of
divorce that her husband did not fur
nish her with means of support.
The witness stood at Judge Stew
arts left hand, on a little platform
reached by three or four steps. He
did not appear to be excited and
nothing in his action or manner gave
warning of the tragic scene about to
be enacted. Col. Harris began his
questions
"Do you know Emanuel Hays 7"
Eyes sir."
"Havs you ever visited his
home I"
"Yes sir.p
"How did his family fare I Did
they have plenty to eat !"
"They lived comfortably"
"Were you there at meal time !"
ayes sir. Six or seven times"
Here the libeIIant leaned over to
her lawyer, Mr.. John l.. HardemaD,
ami whispered; That's not true.
He never was there but once"
"What did they have for dinner !"
continued the queStioner.
'They bad ham and chicken, and
rice, and tea, and coffee and sugar"
As this answer was given the
libellsnt doached the lawyers arm
and excitedly whispered "Mr.
Hnrdeman, that's lie !" Col Har~
ris asked another quention, but it
was not answered, or only partially.

An old negro mao near Stockton,
in Clinch county, has set out several
hundred orange trees. He has gone
among the pine trees and set out his
grove. His plan is to clear up a
space of twelve feet square and plant
tree, then twelve feet from there
clear up another twevle feet square
and plant again. This is done among
the green pines. He leaves them
growing as protection to the trees.
Our colOred friend is a pioneer in
this line, and will at no distant day
reap the reward of bis industry and

A COMMON SENSE VIEW.
Springfield Rep, Letter.

Sectionalism is an absurdity, as it
is a crime. 1t is rot at all remarka-
BILE that among the rustics of Iowa
and Minnesota, remote from the
South, with no special tie, to it, the
bloody shirt should float in grand
triumph, but it 10 somewhat puzzling
to us that those who spin our cotton,
make our shoes, and hats, and pre-
pare the paper upon which we write,
who travel through our orange groves
in the winter and among whom we
travel 10 the summer should be 30
anxious TO draw and keep distinct
the line of separation. When it is
remembered the sceptre is departing
from your Judsh and that the West,
the great silly of New England, now,
must become her great antagonist in
time to come, it seems a sad folly for
her to turn her face against that sec
ton where her natural allies are
found. The West will make wagons
and window ssshes for the present,
but the South is leaning to make
everything. Is it we'll to build up
and at the same time embitter 80

gia mills. Az it is impossible to
break down the South, is it we'll to
antagonize her, The Solid South
is no tigment. There never was con-
cocted a more ingenious and skillful
play to make her so than that which
aimed to keep power in the North.
10 scarcely decade of years from
the construction, the South only
needs the help of few voters in New
York to say who shall preside over
this government. You can never di-
vide the South by assailing her. The
more the bloody shirt flies, the closer
she will cling together.

VAG%N CY.

In most villages, towns and cities
10 Georgia, and in other States,
there are to be found parasites of the
shape, size and intelligence of men.
To be plain, there are men hanging
around these villages, towns and
cities who have 20 visible means of
support, but still live, eat, sleep and
drink. OF course as they do not la
Dor, all ibis must come out of some
body else. Some honest toiIer has
his substance consumed by these
non-producers. Vsgrancy is a crime
against the laws of our country, but
too often goes UNPUBLISHED. A poor

all alike. If they won't work of
their own accord for an honest living,

The use of baby carriages is de

The use of baby carriages is de-
preciated by DR.. Henry H. Smith,
of Philadelphia. He says that a
child who is carried in arms is being
constantly trained 10 balancing its
head and shoulders, and that such
infants are sooner able to sit alone
and creep or walk more vigorously
than those who 10 the continued SUI
pine posture of the baby carriage
fail to receive their muscular exer-
else. There is also increased apes
ti,e, with improved digestion and
nutrition. One of the evils liable to
ensue from the constant use of the
baby carriage is the jarring and con-
cussion of the delicate brain and
spinal cord Of the infant created by
bouncing the carriage over cutters
or up and down the curbstones.
This evil, DR.. Smith contends, is
quite as serious to the infant as the
conclusion of the spine, the result OF
railroad travel, is to the full-grown
mao, the ner vous system of the child
being easily impressed by jars.

A FISH STORY.

It is rather early in the season for
fish stories, but the following from
the Savannah News will answer very
we'll for a beginning. The News
says:
A remarkable circumstances in
connection with the recent cold snap
was the effect on the fish, large
schools being driven in shore and in
shallow water. Strange az it may
seem il is asserted that the fish,
particularly bass and trout, we're OBJ
served to throw themselves bodily
out of the water on the land. An old
negro caught thiuy-one very line
large bass in this way at Raccoon
Key, near Warsaw. On St. Gather
ines net thrown in the water was
almost instantly filed by fnO large
fish, and fishermen found some diff
Guilty 10 hauling the nets in. Others
were observed to kill them in the
water with oars. This novel occura
renee was witnessed generally all
along the island to the southwark
and in the rivera near the coast.

A careful estimate shows that the ag-
gregate yield of the mines of the United
States in thirty years has been equal to
7 per cent per annum on a total invest
ment of 500, 000, 900. The same average
result may be confidently relied upon for
a great many years to come. In n
sense this may seem to be a small return,
but it must be remembered that the gain
is in actual not in fictitious value. Min
ing camps will continue to boom here and
there flor all mining hamlets on the con-
tinent have had or expect to have their
boom) until every mountain and ravine
and river bottom from Mexico to Alaska
shall have been explored, but the main
features OF the industry will still be the
same. Mining for the precious metals is
a serious business, involving much of the
sublimity and tragedy of human life. 1t
stimulates that Christian virtue, hope
and labor, that develops manhood. By
its pursuit men learn patience, endur-
ance and fortitude, while every day of
experience adds to the conviction that
for all the favors she bestows nature de-
.mands an equivalent.
