SKELETON FOUND.

Dalton citizen: Two men who
live in the northern part Of Gilmer
county, near the Cohuttah range,
made a startling discovery few
days ago. They bad chased dep
redatiug fox to his covert, which
proved to be an immense hollo tree
trunk, charred and blackencd by
forest fires 1t was comparatively
but huge stump, being not more
than twenty feet high, evidently hav.
ing been snapped 10 twain by some
fierce hurricane which had swept
that way. The willy robber of the
hennery had entered small aperture
near the base of the tree and all eff
forts at smoking him out had proved
futile. As q last resort, one of thnm
suggested barring the fox's mode OF
entrance, and then Telling tho old
tree, which, owing to its aged and
decayed condition, would be an easy
task. This plan was adopted and q
few sturdy strokes of their axes sent
the old shell crashing to the earth,
and Reynard, in endeavoring to make
his escape, was summarily dispatch
ed with an axe. As they were pre-
pairing to take their departure one Of
the men discerned something white
cleaning 10 the old hollow stump,
and upon examination was Mortified
to behold the bIeached bones of a
dismembered human skeleton. The
men were considerably startled BY
their strange discovery, and on closer
inspection a powder born and bullet
pouch we're brough. to light, to
gether with few Wondering articles
of raimsnt, but nothing else was
found that would identity as to who
the person had been. Many conjec
lures have been made as to bow the
skeleton came, and how long ithad
reposed, in this strange mausoleum,
the affair being profound mystery.

A COMMON MISTAKE.

81 take your paper" Jess 30.
But that doesn't entitle you to half q
column Of free advertising, nor 40
equal share in all our belongings
You take your own paper, not ours,
if you pay for it; and you take it
for your own benefit, and generally
without the slightest idea that your
patronage is of any advantage to us.
We print newspapers as business
Ii ansaction, and you buy them be-
cause you need them. There is nc
debt Of obligation incurred on either
side. If you like the paper and
think you can afford it you will con
tinue to take it, and if we can afford
it we will continue to furnish it.
But when you then, or fancy you
think, you have any claim on us
other than fair treatment because of
these business relations, you eutire>
ly mistake the plan of journalism
This is addressed to no especial per-
son, but is given as a sort OF general
reproof for what seems to be a prev
silent notion among no inconsidera'
BILE class who imagine that because
they take the paper they therefore
have a mortgage on the office and
its editor. $500 Ezchange.

INDEPENDENCE.

We respect and admire independ-
ence in any body, and about any thing,
whom properly manifested and kept
within proper bounds, but an utter
disregard of principles, laws and
rules is more than independence, il
is lawlessness and brigandage A
man cannot be Independent. of law
and government without becoming
an outlaw and losing the protection
of the laws and their constitutedsex.
ecutors man cannot be independ.
ent of all friendships aud customs of
society without becoming hermit
and losing all the benefits of society,
and being alone and miserable even
in q crowded city so a man cannot
afford to be independent of political
parties, if be has any ideas or any
care whatever as TO the proper
management of the affairs of the
government, for it is man testify i'm
possible for single man, unaided
and alone, to successfully contend
against AL organized opposition
Bat you say, II will get others with
like opinions with myself to join me-"
but in the momen. you do this you
have formed a party aud thus dc.
feated your very effort to be iude-
pendent in fact you make yourself
a slave TO the dictates of self con-
stituted boss, the very worst form of
political corruption. and tyranny, un'
less you aspire to be boss yourself
in which case, the positions being
reversed, your success will depend
on your ability to control a hetero
geneous multitude of discontinued
differing and unruIy people, and to
do this you will almost certainly
have to resort to some deception or
wrong. Hence we are satisfied, and
experience has shown that the best
and only effectual method of ad
vsncing certain fixed principles is
by the organization of those who
hold the same or similar opinions in
to distinct parties. DeKald' Ne'cS.

I Jacob Beble was murdered in a
Wisconsin forest last January. lie
was a umberman, and worked with
a siogle companion. This person
disappeared immediately after the
deed, and was regarded as guilty of
it, but could nowhere be found. Not
even q trace of the fugitive was dis
covered, and the search was at
length given up. A few days ago
the widow OF Beeble fell dangerous,
ly ill at Neilsyile, the nearest village
TO the place where be had been shot
and, in expectation Of death, she
confessed that she was bis slayer.
He had compelled her to dress as a
man and work with him in the
woods. Worn out by the heavy La
Dor, and driven desperate by his
cruelty, she murdered him. Then
she hurried home, put on her own
clothing, and nobody identified her
as the fellow who had been her hus'
bands assistant.

I SAIL s'REp WV HIM To-N1aHr

FROM the Detroit ShaH,
Sometimes believe the little ones
say the bes. things after all, KNEW
a little family in Detroit who are
heartbroken and sad this Saturday
night. There we're three last Sat-
urday, but to-day only two are left.
The tie that bound them more close.
ly than that which the clergyman
drew has lately been looseued, and
the light of their lives went out with
the red winter sun only the other. -
The father is a railroad man, whose
duties call him away from home
nearly three> fourths of the time. 1t
was his habit, whenever he was
about to start for home, to telegI sph
his wife apprising her of the fact -
la these kilograms he never failed
to mention the name of the little
four year>old, and the dispatches
usually ran as follows:
'Tell Arthur | shall sleep with him
to>night."
The bahy-boy was very proud of
these kilograms, which his mother
would read over and over to him,
and he considered the 'teledraP
great ins,itntion. The ether night,
when the fever had done its work
and the mother was sobbing out her
the little one turned calmly
in his bed and said:
Don't ky, mama; | sail s'eep
wiz bod, 700 know Send bod a
and tell Him | sail s'eep
wiz Him tonight
But the message went straight Up
There without the clicking OF wires
or the rustic of wings.

play on mos. of the large iron
bridges Of the world. This is due to
the we'll known phenomenon, that a
constant succession Of sound waves,

playing Of a good band, will excite
the wire vibrations. At first these
vibrations are very slight, bat they
increase as the sound waves continue
