A PRETTY WESTERN ROMANCE

A brother and sister have met
after a separation of twenty years,
and the meeting has been brought
about in Davenport by the little son
Of the sister in a most peculiar way.
One week ago yesterday the raft
steamer Clyde went into Davenport
on her way north and Capt Doug
lass tied up his boat for a while in
order to permit some of the crew to
go ashore and make purchases. -
Among others who went ashore was
Aaron Carter, a raftsman. The
weather was very cold, with keen
northeast wind. While going along
the street, Carter met poorly clad
little boy, who was running along
crying bitterly. Carter asked him
what was the matter, and the little
lad sobbed out, "I'm cold" Come
with me-" said Carter, who taking
the boy to q clothing store, he
bought him suit OF warm clothes
and pair of mitteus. He than ASK
ed the boy his name. Aaron Dun,
lap" was the reply. Carter was
,hunderstruck "Aaron Dunlap"
he cried. "Where are your father
and motherY" "Father is dead"
the boy replied. "Well, take me to
your mother, then, as quickly as
you can" said Carter. The boy
took him TO his humble home, and
when Carter entered the house, the
boy 8 mother rushed into his arms
with a shrek that made all the other
occupants of the tenement house
rush into the hall to see what was
the matter. Clrter had found a
sister whom be had not seen since
the year 1862, when he went to war
with Maine regiment. -Dd0enp0rt

TOO POOR.

Those who say they are too poor
to take q newspaper, believe such to
be true, but they are mistaken. No
man or woman is too poor to take
a good family paper, no matter what
his or her circumstances may be A
good weekly only cost S or 5cts
month, or an average OF only ?! cts
a week, and who is there on earth
that cannot afford that much week
or month Tor Intellectual recreation 7
Any person owning only one laying
hen can pay it from this resource
alone. 1t the man or woman be a
confirmed and helpless invalid there
is not benevolent person in the
land who would not gladly crafty a
desire on their part to have a good
paper to read 1t cost so little, and
then the pleasure it brings to the
helpless one is so great
This is ons of the fatal mistakes
which our people have always made
and it is time they were set right on
this subject. 1t is not poverty, as
we have shown, but the trouble is
simply lack of appreciation and
taste for reading. The great mass
of our people do not read at ell. 1t
is bore to them. They are alb
sorbed in making cotton and selling
goods and the man who tells you
that he has 10 time to take your pa
per, or is too poor to take it, will
fight his way to The ticket box to
pay So to see n theatrical bumbug,
and will think nothing of ipayiug So
or So to take his family into circus
as often as one comes around. And,
more discouraging yet, many men
will give you the same excuse, and
yet spend day after day around
village or city grog shop, and one
days expenditure for whisky and
cigars would more than pay for tho
paper a whole year. But this is not
all. He is not too poor to pay 81 or
50 for hat to place upon his boys
head, nor is.his wife too poor to pay
any amount tor her own Uranium,
but they are entirely too poor to pay
only dollar OF two for something
permanent and lastingly beneficial to
go on the inside of their poor empty
heads, These Facts are very dis
couraging to publishers, and tho
whole press should endeavor to cor
rect this fatal trouble among our
people Sunny South.

We clip the following from the
Walton county Vidette
DR.. J. |. Robinson passed thu ough
this place on Tuesday last en- route
for Atlanta, to place on exhibition
there before the faculty of the South
ern Medical College, the dead body
of a white male child, born on that
day, 10 this county, which we were
permitted to see aud examine, and
which for remarkableness surpassed
anything any of the medical frater'
nifty ever saw or read of, and which
will produce a sensation and great
wonder among the medical men
wherever it is seen. The head, from
tho eyes up, was huge soft sack,
without bones, filled with brain mat
ter. Attached to one side Of this
sack was an ear much like that of an
elephant. Below this on the side Of
the head, in its proper place, was
fully developed human ear. One
eye was almost as large IS an ox's
eye and had no Ida The mouth
was air,lipped and had no upper
lip. The heart, lungs, liver, stomach,
bowels, and other intestines had all
growu and we're attached to the out
side of the body, to the right side in
front, and were fully developed
The fingers were webbed like a
ducks foot, and we're strongly tied
together near their ends by a strong
cord about tho size of a fac silk
thread. The toes on both feet were
similarly tied, and the large toe on
one foot was cut entirely of and had
adhered to the next one TO it, and
having cut half off the next two toes.
There was nothing on the inside OF
the body, the entraiis being attached
to the outside, and no opening for
the heart, llngs, stomach, etc, to
have ever gotten to their present POI
sition, had they ever been on the
inside of the body.

SOCIAL INTERCOURSE.

Without friends. what is a man |
A solitary oak upon sterile rock
symmetrical indeed in its form, beau
tiful and exquisitely tioi-hed, outri
valing the most lauded perfection OF
art 10 gracefulness and grandeur, but
over which decay has shaken her
black wing and lett its leaves blight
ed it's limbs contract as they die ;
its roots rottenness, and its bloom
death a scathed, lifeiess monument
of rs pristine beauty. When the
rebutfs of adversely are crushing US
earth when tho clouds look
black above, aod the muttering thun
der OF misfortune growls along the
sky when our frame is palsied by
the skeleton hand OF disease, or our
senses whirled 10 the mestroom
chaos of insanity--when our hearts
are torn by tbs recent separation OF
some beloved object, while our teers
are yet flowing upon the fresh turf
OF departed innocence that time
it is the office of friendship to shield
US from portentous storms, to quicken
the fainting pulses of our sickly
frame, to bring back the wandering
star of mind within the attraction of
sympathetic kindness, the "oil and
palm" of peace into the yet fostering
wound, and deliver the aching heart
from the object of its bleeding atllic'
ton.

There was quite scene IN the
Galveston court house the other day
A young lawyer had just finished an
i'm FASHIONED appeal and dropped, as
he thought, into his chair, but missed
the chair. AS he struck the floor
there was an explosion, as if young
cannon bad exploded, creating much
excitement The prevailing opinion
was that a pistol had exploded in his
hip pocket, but, upon raising him
up, it was found that he had fiatteued
out a beautiful silk hat. 1t seams
that an old but wreckless member OF
the bar was to blame for the explo>
sion. When the young lawyer was
about to sit do wn the elder pulled the
chair away, but he had forgotten that
his own silk hat was under that very
chair. The elder lawyer laughed
bois.erousIy until he identified the
mutilated hat as bis own, and then
be smiled sickly smile that, had it
been photographed and sent to the
Houston board of health, they would
have been fully justified in quaran'
tineing at once. GalUestOn Ne,CS.

AN EAGLES FIGHT WITH GEESE

/
A gentleman from Stone county
gives the particulars of remarka>
BILE incident which he witnessed
while crossing White River on the
ferry ust above the mouth of Syca-
more Greek When nearly half way
across the stream an enormous eagle
swooped down on a flock of geese
which were swimming in the river
some eighty rods below the boat. -
The fowls upon observing the eagle
approaching, instiuctively divcd un
der tho water Just as the bird struck
the waves. Bsiflad in tho first as
ssult, the eagle flew slowly upward,
and when the geese came t. the sur
face darted downward again, and
buryiug its talons in one OF them at
tempted to bear it away. The goose
struggled violently, while it's com,
panions swan around it uttering
shrill cries, and the persons on the
ferryboat watched the strange scene
with keen interest. Once the eagle
lifted its prey clear out of the water
and seemed on the roint of convey
ing il the mountain cliff that rose
grandIy in the air on the other side
of the stream, but the struggles of
the goose forced the captor down~
ward. When water was again reach
ed the goose made a supreme effort
and plunged below the surface, drag,
ging the eagle after it, and causing
the latter TO loosen it's hold aud rise
upward with fierce scream. The
eagle next attacked another goose,
but with the same result, being com>
PEELED to relnquish its hold when its
intended victim plunged beneath the
waves. This strange contest lasted
fully thirty minu'es, at the end OF
which time the eagle gave up the
fight, and, rising, so .red away to the
Westward, while the flock
Of geese swan further down the
stream. None of the flock were
kiled, but the water in the vicinity
was dyed with blood, and the sur-
face of the stream WAS covered with
feathers for considerable distance

cleaning out of the pegs inside, are
all done by machinery What do

OF IMPORTANCE TO MERCHANTS

Merchants who deal in kerosene oil
will do we'll to remember that by an
act of the last Legislature, taking eft
feet on the first day of January, 1882,
i. is made unlawful, under heavy
penalty, to store, sell, or offer for
sale, for purpoSes of illumination, in
the State of Georgia, any kerosene
oil, or refoed petroleum, of fire
test of less than 100 degrees, nor
until the same has been inspected,
approved and branded by an author
ICED inspector
Any oil found not conforming to
the new Georgia test and law will be
liable to seizure, and can only be
sold for rehabilitation, and the dealer
will be liable to prosecution and
heavy fine.
Heretofore but little oil over fire
test of 10 degrees has been sold -
1t is therefore important that our
dealers should bear in mind that after
the first day in January no oil of less
than 100 degrees can be sold in the
State of Georgia. Telegraph ana

LOVE LED CAPTIVE.
A Domestic Scene.

Yesterday afternoon an enraged
female, weighing, perhaps, 1870
pounds, was seen coming down Sen-
eca from Superior street. She dart
ed into the alley in the rear of Sloss
block, entered Rogers saloon with
hop, skip and jump, went up to the
bar where three men were pouring
som sthing down their throats, caught
one them by the head, whirled him
around and flung him out the door.
1t took him somewhat by surprise,
and he tried to reason matters,
which seemed to exasperate her all
the more, and she caught him by the
throa. with her left hand, tanning
him up against the City hotel and
maleted him with her strong right
clenched fist, 10 the face, like real
man, until be yelled enough. Then
she took him, as a policeman would
say, by the "skrt of the coat" and
ran him toward Superior street,
amid the cheers of large crowd. -
The man, however, tried to concili
ate matters by explaining to the
crowd that: "Hic! never mind,
it's all right +; shes hic!
-moy wife, an maybe knows
what's --hic! - for moy good, bet
tern do" The last seen of tbf
pain, they were following Seneca
street in the direction Of Stones flats
aud she was clinging to the back oa

TEMPE, Dec. IS, 1882.
When writing to a journal the
trouble is to know where to com
mence and when to quit We COM
mence by telling all distant readers
# the HERALD that the winter
season of Salt River Valley is abso-
lutely faultless. What would our
Eastern cousins think of seeing at
his season of the year vegetable
gardens in which are fresh radishes,
lettuce, peas, parsnips, carrots, cab
bage, and in fact all except the most
tender vegetables, flourishing to per-
fiction. Many trees still retail II their
green foliage. Potato and tomato
vines growing and bearing. A sky,
almost cloudless. The water carried
all over the valley to every desired
spot, and distributed where and hen
needed. About once a mouth the
sky becomes overcast with cloud S,
the gentle rain drops fall with IN
creasing density and velocity for
few hours, giving natures last touch
es to the work common ced by man.
Day by day the snSws are accumu-
lating in the surrounding mountains,
thus gathering moisture for the sup
plies of the streams during the sum |
mcr months. With all these advan- |
tages before US what may we not
rcalize by the proper cultivation of
of our beautiful valley Governor
Trltle made US flying visit this
afternoon, and expressed himself
wei pleased with this part of the
domain over which lie wields the
gubernatorial scepter. The Cover
nor does not propose to govern a
country and people of whom he has
heard but never seen. He is the man
for his position, and is making many
friends. Mormons in large numbers
are arriving from Utah. They have
their town site and the work
of improvement is gaing on. This
village in future will be located be-
tween the Tempe school house and
Hayden's Ferry, and joining the
