A GENUINE CASE OF "JIM-Jams. +,
dublin (Ga.) Gazette I


Last Sunday evening some of the Young
men went out to take stroll, and during
the ramble visited stubb's fish.pond, lust
inside the incorporated limits Among
those who constituted the party was Mr..
Cox, from Macon, who, near the dam,
spied snake of most beautiful color, the
stripes and pides of which represented
the seven colors of the rainbow. With
that antipathy characteristic of man to
the serpent and the fulGllment of the
adge, "The seed of woman shall bruise
the serpent's head" Mr.. Cox hurled a
"huge round stone" at the snake, and,
to the wonder of the lockers on, the
snakes body was severed in twain. To
where the pieces were at this time lying
it took but a very few seconds to reach
the dying reptile. Once all eyes were
taken from the snake, and then he was
as whole as before, and apparently suf-
fering no inconvenience from having
been stoned. This very much surprised
the young men, and the curiosity, fer it
was certainly such. was captured and a
string placed around his neck and it
brought to town. Here really wonder
full exhibition of the phenomenon began.
AS fast as piece from piece was pulled from
the body of the writhing curiosity and
thrown upon the ground, the links, for
such they were, would as soon unite
again. Nor was this separation of parts
all the popularity about the monster.
Upon the end of the tail was horn,
evidently weapon OF defense, about as
long as a needle and evidently as sharp.
1t exhibited ne sign of viciousness, but
Of perfect resignation to its fate. The
eye was as sharp as an eagles and as
blue as June sky. Its length was
| about three or four feet and size pro-
portionate. After its body had been
completely severed link by link until the
head was left to itself, this member then
bore every mark Of former vitality and
the eye contained its former sparkling
brilliancy. Truly this reptile is one of
| the seven wonders of which we read in
holy writ, and even while We write a
feeling of sacred sadness passes through
our frame and wakes dormant spark
of youthful piety.

THE VALUE OF MICA.

Mica has been found in various local..
ties within the borders of this State, but
generally in SO small veins or deposits to
be made remuneratively available. Its
real commercial value depende principally
in the size Of the sheets or blocks it may
be found in as well as the quality. A
Reno Gazette reporter has been shown
several sheets of mica taken from de-
posit north of pyramid Lake, where it is
said to be in abundance, in flat veins from
two to four inches thick. The samples
shown were quite pure and of a silvery
whiteness, and almost as flexible as
paper If the material is to be found in
any great quantity, the discovery is a
valuable one To the uninformed it may
appear strange, but mica to-day is a
staple article of commerce. The fact
that mica used in stoves must be replaced
almost annually creates steady demand
Its application to shoes has recently been
patented whereby soles, at a trifing ex-
pense, are made waterproof. And when
ever the quantity of mica produced is
sufficient to supply the demand and the
prices reduced, then new uses and ap.
plcations of it will arise. As lubrica.
tor it stands pre-eminent, owing to its
non-friction qualities. Several patents
exist which this mineral, in ground
state, combined with oil, is used to lu.
bricate machinery. The market value oi
mica is great and at the present time the
demand is such that it cannot be sup
piled. A piece of mica AKA inches FIVE
eights of an inch thick, will weigh on.
pound, and has a market value of 81. A
piece three by six inches one-half an incl
thick, will weigh one pound and has ;
market value of S4.60, and a like relative
portion Of value exists except in tht
smallest pieces, say one-half by tive
inches, which have value of fifty cent
per pound, and all the refuse and trim
mings of the mica are readily sold t.
parties who pulverize them for use in tn,
manufacture of nitro-s o-slycerine and othe
dangerous explosives. 1t will thus b.
seen that in mica mining we have an in
dustry worthy of development, and on
which requires no expensive manipula
ton of the product after it is mined.

A VALLEY OF DEATH.-A valley sur
passing in reality Of horrors the tabled
region of the upas tree, has been dis
covered in the Island of Java. This
island is volcanic, and in one spot tho
emanations from the interior Of the earth
are so deadly that the place is called the
Valley of Death. AS the traveller ap-
proaches it he is attacked with nausea
and giddiness. He also notices a suffi-
eating smell. As he advances these
symptoms disappear, so that, after pass
ing through the belt of fetid air which
guards the valley, the visitor is able to
examine with less risk the spectacle be.
fore him. A recent traveller describes
the valley as being an oval about one
mile in circumference, and about thirty
to forty feet below the surrounding land.
The floor Of the valley is fiat, dry, with
out any vegetation, and scattered all
over it are the skeletons Of men, tigers,
wild boars, birds and stays, lying among
blocks OF stone. No stream or smoke is
to be seen, nor any crevicc apparent IN
the earth, which appears to be as hard
as rock. The hills which hem in this
valley Of desolation are clothed from
base to summit with healthy trees and
bushes. The traveller whom We have
quoted descended the side of one hill
with the aid of bamboo stick, to about
eighteen feet from the bottom, and h'
compelled dog to 60 down to the PLAIN
In FIVE seconds the animal fell on its sid'
motionless, although it continued u
breathe for eighteen minutes. Anothe
dog died in ten minutes; fowl only re
sisted the deadly air for minute and
half, and was dead before he reached tn
bottom. 1t is believed that the humal
skeletons are those Of malefactors VIII
have sought refuge here, ignorant OF tn
fatal influence Of the air they came
breathe. The neighboring mountains or
volcanic, but they neither emit sulphur
GUS odors, nor do they present any ~
dications Of recent eruption.

A DRUNKEN HEADSMAN.-Au Den-
mark, says the Copenhagen correspond
ent of the st. James Gazette, was thrilled
by general feeling of horror when the
papers brought the details of the execu-
ton of a criminal in provincial place
the previous day-details which pain
fully remind one of the disgraceful man
ner in which Sofia Petrowskaya was ex-
ecuted last year at st. Petersburg. Ac-
cording to the Danish law criminals
condemned to death suffer the last pen
atty of the law by decapitation by means
of an ak, the block being placed at some
conspicuous place as near as possible to
the place where the murder was COM
mitted. A man condemned to death
was to be executed yesterday morning,
and, as usual, large crowd of people
from the surrounding districts had as
sembled round the spot, only one con.
stable being present to keep order.
When the usual formalities were gone
through, the criminal laid his head on
the block; but the eye and the hand OF
the executioner, who had been drinking
heavily on the previous day, were un-
certain, and the stroke fell over both
shoulders, the criminal uttering smoth'
cred cry of pain. The executionel
vrenched the ak out of the wound,
welded it again, and struck the criminal
high up on the back of the head; agar
he wrenched the ak out of the wound
and succeeded at last in cutting the heao
off. The crowd rushed to the headles'
trunk, some to try and catch some drop
of blood, which the peasants think ha
| some kind of magical effect to cure Ger
/ tain diseases; others to satisfy their NOR
| bid curiosity. In fact, horrible AM
disgusting scene took place, several mel
and women fainting. Every one agree
that such a disgracsful spectacle mus
never more take place in Denmark an
Che Minister Of Justice has already, wit
nra;sevorthy speed, declared his inten
ton to bring in a short bill providing 10
execution by means of the gulllotlne al
within the precincts Of prison.
