Singular Accident IN GeOrgi Ii
EiAiI

On Monday last, while a negro was
blowing in a field on the Wilson Wal
ter's place, in the southern portion OF
Doughterty coun y, Georgia, the ground
cavud in under his mule and the ami
NAL, pillow aud all, was precipitated
some fifteen or twenty feet below the
surface of the earth. The negro man
aged to escape, but was too badly scar
ed to do anything until assistance al
arrived. The whole face Ct the earth
for ten or twelve feet around had fall
Ell in and carried the mule with it,
and the fearful struggles of the poor
animal caused the caving to continue
until he wat completely out of sight.
Some Of the negroes on the place tried
to rescue the unfor unate mule, but in
vain. One Of their number caue near
losing his life in the sink.

We shall keep our heavy clothing &C.
cessible and at prices that Will induce
you to buy even if you have to protect
it from the moth during the summer,
while orr spring goods are here and
ready for the customer, and If our al.
vice is worth anything you will change
gradually, beginning with spring
overcoat. The advantage Of dealing
with us is the ability to always find
goods of all weight and kinds. We
want everybody to Anvw we are better

BONAPARTE'S HANDWRITFyG

Francis l., of Austria, said of his SON.
in-law after the battle of Waterloo: "I
always thought that man would end
badly; he wrote such a villainous
hand" And, indeed, it became so bad
as to be almost wholly illegible. Ifread
at all it is by guess, or that second sight
which the "blind clerks" of the dead
letter office are popularly supposed to
possess. Much of it is represented by
blanks in the transcriptions, and there
are many words at the translation of
which by an expert the well-tried reader
of manuscript can only shake a doubt
ing head But this was not always so.
While he was subaltern of artillery his
hand, although never good, was at least
human, and clear and legible. There
was sort of correspondence between it
and his simple, direct bearing of those
days when he disdained personal ap-
pearance, an1 the long, fiat, straight
black hair partly hid and heightened
the sallow face, and everything about
him was grave, rude, austere. He was
not born to bad hand, although, like
Lamartine, Byron and many other great
1nen, he could never learn to spell and,
after the 18th Brumaire, the laws of Or
typography incommoded him quite as
little as any others. But, no matter how
bad his writing was, "La plume entire
sesman1s," as Lamartine wrote, "nous
valut une epee."

HUaBAND AND WYE.

A Baltimore Judge decides that thy
people must be my people. An Ameri-
can woman who married German ap-
piled for divorce on the ground that her
husband was about deserting her and
carrying all her money to the Father
land. The husband said he would not
desert his wife, but that he had deter
mined to go to Germany, and the wom-
an refused to accompany him and in

JAPANESE ACTING.

The Scenes iW a Play House in Japan
Prof Morse thus describes japanese
theater In recent letter
1.-The first time I attended one of
these theaters / went at 10 o'clock in
the morning. l had lecture at II, and
several ether matters of Importance to
attend to during the day, but for once
III my life l cut my lecture, and never
left the theater until IL o'clock that
night. The fighting, scenes are Chi
nese importation. Upon being hit, the
actors fall backward with great violence
and stick their legs up i'll the air. I
saw an actor represent one of the
s1murar keeping an attacking party
of peasants at bay with his fan. At last,
when hard pressed by great number
of assailants armed with spears, clubs,
ETC., he said he must really draw his
sword, and put his hand on the hilt for
the purpose whereupon the whole at
tacklng party, thirty or forty III mum.
ber, instantly fell on their backs, and
stuck their legs up in the air-which
token Of the proWesS of their upper
class gave much qualification to the
audience. An orchestra Gagged up at
one side of the stage keeps up cont4n-
ual accompaniment, while an individual
III similar cage at the other side
furnishes a constant supply of sighs,
groans and yells, appropriate to the
supposed emotions OF the players.
The plays are performed by men
onl women parts being acted by them;
or, II women appear at all, they take all
parts, both sexes never appearing in the
same play.
"a foreigner who wishes to under
stand the ancient customs, manners and
dress OF the people must attend the the
aters. The spectacle of harlkari is per-
formed with a CHASTITY fidelity to details
which makes 1t unbearab.e by person
OF delicate sensibilities. The tneater
tickets are blocks OF wood foot square.
Music among the Japanese does not en-
ter into the life Of the people as with us;
it is not heard at the tireside nor in the
temples; there are no student songs,
nor does the exultation of victory find
expression in music. The principal mu-
sical instruments are the samisen, sort
OF banjo, played with small ivory in
strument; the koto, harp, which rests
on the ground, has movable bridges, and
is played with ivory thimble like shields
upon the fingers the sho, a bowl
shaped vessel with a number of upright
reeds rising from it, with vents near the
lower ends governed by the fingers of
both hands, giving an effect like that of
the bagpipe; and the biwa or fute.'

IF PROFESSIONALLY, ALL RIGHT:
IF PERSONALLY!

"That reminds me-" he said, "about
q little affair that our friend Blunt, the
city editor of the Kansas City Journal,
once figured in. He had written or
passed something that was particularly
unpleasant to one of the parties men-
toned. The fellow met him at e soda
fountain in one of the public bar rooms,
and, tapping him on the shoulder, said {:
Il think you re liar Blunt had q
glass in his hand which he had Just
drained. He looked formidable as he
turned around and seized the enemy.
well 2 he asked, do I understand that
you call me personal, or a professional
liar?' The question staggered the man
with grievance "A personal or a
professional liar? ? he echoed. Him, I
don't know as to that guess I mean
a professional liar 'Ah, now you COM
pliment me- said Blunt, resting his
glass on the walnut slab. If you had
called me personal liar I would have
crawled your frame if it had been the
last act Of my life. They compromised
on soda. "-Denve,' Tribune.
