A Precious Stone found in Georgia.

Near Norcross there resides ~ old
German gealoaist wLy loves to live among
the peculiar specimeIs Of mineral and
vegetable matter which he has unearthed
and housed. He is an elderly gentleman
Of little sociability, hut OF great mental
requirements. His physical endurance
is simply astonishing. For days at a
time he wanders ever the hills aid
through the dales near his home, collect
ing rocks and stones. limbs and roots, the
properties and qualities of which are un-
known to all but himself
The room IN which his collections are
stored i wonderful. In one receptacle
are arranged a number Of stones whose
bright rays remind the observer Of dIa
monds. In the center of this long room
there rests i stone half the size Of hen 5
EGG, which vas picked up by the owner
months and months ago. 1t was found
by its owner one rainy afternoon Fer
nearly a week he had been on tramp
through the hills and dales near his home,
and, weary with his ceaseiess toll, he vas
vending his way home when his eyes fell
upon something from which the rays Of
the sun were scattered III thousand di
rections.
With little thought Of what he was
doing, the geologIst stopped down and
picked up the object IL was nearly half
the slze Of hens egg, and Of An Tregu-
lar shape. /, was covered in many places
with thick. heavy clay, which was re-

nov 50 vel known as an assessor Of Ofice-
holders, a practice into which, he swag-
gishly says. he is driven by the present
deplorable condition Of society III the
Southern States. II appears from this
volume that the family is from Bedouin
origin, and that jays ancestors, when
wandering in the valley of the Euphrates,
we're known among the other tribes as the
Hubbas," and doubtless - assessed - a
good deal. as the Bedouin custom Is, over
all the sd iscent country. This muot have
been as early as the Sixth century of the
Christian era, for IN the Ninth century
the Hubbas were in Denmark following
the calling Of pirates; and it must hare
