TABULAR FALLS.
A Young Couple Lost in the
Mountains.

ATHENS, GA. August l6.-One day
last week an old gentleman from At
lanta visited the falls, bringing with
him a charming daughter, just bud
ding into womanhood. The young
lady soon found among the guests at
the hotel a young gentleman from At
lanta, who volunteered to act as her
guide as he knew every foot of the
country and show the fair visitor the
sights. She thankfully accepted him
as an escort, and on the second day Of
her stay tie couple left the hotel for
a ramble. They left about three
o'clock, and at shutdown had not re.
turned. The father began to grow
uneasy, and strolled as far down as
the Grand Chasm to guide them home.
He then returned to the hotel, ex-
pecting that they had arrived by an
other route; but sad disappointment
awaited him-nothing had Bernhard
Of the pair. He waited an hour longer,i in
great distress, when a darkness as black
as ink set in. The frantic old gentle
man then explained the cause of his
distress to the male visitors, and begged
that they assist him in his search.
Several squads were at once organized,
equipped with torches, and the search
began. No one could tell in which
direction theyoung couple had strayed,
and so they first visited the falls, peering
down all the precipices and into the
pools of water, expecting to find their
mangled remains. The agony of the
father was intense. lie led the search
and recklessly exposed his life. 1t was
10 O'Clock when the falls we're thor
oughly explored, when some one pro-
posed searching the mountains on the
opposite side Of the river. This was
accepted, and a squad crossed at
the bridge, dividing up and
going different routes. One party,
who decided to 60 out among the
mountains, when near the top of one,
some distance from the hotel, thought
they heard a moan of distress at some
distance. fastening toward the sound
they discovered the lost couple sitting
at the root Of a large tree, and both
crying as if their hearts would break,
the young man having pulled off his
coat to afford the lady a seat. 1t seems
that they had rambled among the
mountains. and finally got lest just as
night set in. They rambled around
in quest of path as long as they could
see, and then fearing that they might
tumble over some precipice in the dark,
decided to remain where they were
until daylight. They were carried
back in triumph to the hotel, and we're
the center Of attraction. 1t was quite
an interesting adventure. and created
quite a sensation.

Family in the Ague Re-

Terre Haute Express.


In the hot and dusty smoking car
on the eastbound |. & st. L. passen-
ger train yesterday, was a family Of
four persons, man aud wife and two
children. Everybody noticed them.
They were wrapped in shawls and
o~vercoats, their death-lik faces and
hands and woebegone expression Of
face telling the story of chills and
fever. The Express reporter went to
them and asked the man if the boy Of
ten years, who was then lying at full
length on the hard seat of the car, had
a chill.
"Yes, stranger, he replied, in hoarse
tones, he is just gettin' his'n. We've
had our'n to-day"
There was no indication that this
was said in anything but the most Sc
rious vein He gathered his worn
overcoat about his neck, the woman
hushed the waking baby at the breast,
and the boy on the seat missed a shake
or two because Of his curiosity regard

interested and asked many questions,

E-NTOMOLoGISFS EXCITED.
What Came OfshOOting a Rabbit
in Prospect Park.
New York Herald, Is.

On Saturday last Mr.. Thompson.
the florist in charge of the green.
houses at Prospect Park, Brooklyn,
shot and killed a large fat rabbit, OF
hare (our so-called rabbit being really
a hare), which had been pIeying upon
his flowers. The dainty animal had
been sentenced to death q good while
ago for browsing upon Mr.. Thompson's
rare exotics, but it was not until the
day mentioned that he came within
fair reach of the florists breech. loader
and got his final quietus. Lest this
use Of firearms in a public park may
seem unusual ii not improper, it may
be well to explain that under the
lawful regulations governing Prospect
Park the keepers are allowed to rid
themselves of any predatory or ma
licious animals by such use of the
shotgun, which weapon has been
already freely used in destroying cats
and rats and other rodent vermin.
The carcass of the rabbit would
have been consigned, in the ordinary
course of things, to the oblivion Of the
muck heap, but in this Ease it hap
pened to attract the attention of Mr..
Bunce, the assistant florist of the patk,
whose quick eye detected a peculiar
swelling on the neck just behind the
ear. Mr.. Bunce lisa naturalist as well
as florist, and bis curiosity was excited
to such an extent by the strange tumor
on itsneck that he decided to dissecti it.
He did so forthwith, using a delicate
penknife. Instead OF a tumor the
swelling proved to be a pocket in the
cuticle of the animal, in which was
lodged a larva or grub measuring about
an inch and a half in length and about
three fourths of an inch across at its
widest part. 1t was egg shaped, with
the ends hattened, and colored a dark
lustrelsss black, like the skin of a
black COW from which the hair has
been rubbed off. Stiff hairs in scant
quantity were distributed over the
back, and the body was divided into
sections by J0lnted ridges which G n
abled the grub to maintain a slow,
oscillating and uneasy motion. The
pocket Of skin in which it made its
nest was smooth and devoid of inham-
nation, and contracted to a small
opening from which, with a little dis
tension, if the chrysalis were inclined
to exert its power, it could have ex.
PEELED itself.
The extraordinary dimensions OF
the grub have drawn already quite a
number of entomologists, professionals
and amateurs to inspect it. 1t will
probably be the subject of a special
scientific investigation. Meantime,
Mr.. Bunce keeps his prize under care.
full scrutiny for observation Of its
changes. Should the outcome bear
anything like the proportion to the
larya which the grub usually holds
thereto, the product must be a crea-
ture as mighty as an eagle. Josh
Billings apostrophe to our famous
national insect will, in this connec.
ton, recur to those who have read it.
