An AnpaI'n Touch.

San Francisco New-Letter.l
One evening, not long ago, O little
girl of 7 or 10 entered place in which
is bakery, grocery and saloon in one,
and asked for five cents worth of tea.
Flows your mother2" asked the boy
who came forward to wait on her.
Awful sick, and amt had anything
to eat all day." The boy was just then
called to wait upon some men who en-
tered the saloon, and the girl sat
down; In Eve minutes she was nod
ding, and in seven she was sound
asleep and leaning her head against a
barrel, while she held the poor old
nickel in tight grip between her
thumb and finger. One of the men saw
her as he came from the bar, snd after
asking who she was, said Say, you

was. A big tear had rooled out from
her closed eyelid, but her face was GOV,

tout, and the clerk walked over and
touched the sleeping child. She
awoke with laugh, and cried out.

Down the River.

Helena Ieoman.l
An amusing, but a rather dangerous
voyage was made a few days since by
couple of colored men, from Wolf
river to this place. 1t seems that o
gentleman in Memphis had employed
the two eolored men to cut him a
small raft Of mulberry posts for a spe-
cifc purpose. The raft was cut and
pinned together, being about 8 by 20
feet, and the owners got aboard and
started for Memphis. They expected
tug to meet them there and land
them, but they reached the vicinity Of
Memphis on a dark and rainy night
and their calls for assistance were moi
heard. Sweeping past Memphis they
were carried down the river, past
Presidents Island, and soon they were
committed to an indefinite voyage,
They say that steamboats, came near
running over them the last night out,
as they had no lights, and they can
only attribute their escape to the
good sense OF the pilots in avoiding
heavy driftwood. They were towed
ashore at this place on the 10th, inst,
almost frozen aud starved after a voy.
age Of forty.eight hours without fire or
food.

The Rich Pockets OF Precious
Stone Discovered In North
Carolina.


New York SUM-.
Glittering accounts are given of the
curious and interesting products, Of
what is said to be the only mine Of
precious stones in the United States,
The Sun has already published some.
thing about it. The mine is owned BY
Hidden, Roberts & Yerrington. 1t is
in Alexander county, N. O., sixteen
miles from Statesville. 1t has been
worked to thirty-six feet depth in the
lowest place, and tunnel 26l feet
long has been cut, mostly through
solid rock, for drainage. One of the
proprietors, Mr.. VIM. Earl Hidden,
said yesterday:
Our mine produces a considerable
variety of precious stones. We have
already sold enough material to pay
all expenses of the mine and our out
lay for the property, which covers 153
acres. We have surplus material on
hand. The largest gem yet taken out
is Biddenite stone which, when cut,
weighed 2 5-8 carats. The Hiddenite
is spodumene emerald, composed of
alumina and lithia. The real emerald
is composed of alumina and glucina.
The Hiddenite is valued atsS40 to $3.50
a carat. Lately the mine has yielded
about $4,000 worth OF true emeralds.
Although none have yet been found to
cut very large, they are valuable as
specimens. The largest piece yet
taken out is triple prism 81 inches
long. 1t is valued at $1,000. Many
smaller pieces have been found. Some
pieces are of very deep color. About
one tenth of the Hiddenite found is fit
for cutting. The colors are very
bright, and even the smaller pieces are
quite brilliant.
"a new gem called rutile is among
the products of the mine. It's valued
at "a carat, cut it resembles the
black diamond in its sparkle. The
lustre is said to be unalterable by FIRE,
air or water.
A popularity of some Ofthe Hidden
tie stones is that they are dichroie or
two -colored. They seem to be dark
blue green in color down to the axis.
The green is tinged with yellow
through the axis. One very peculiar
yield of the mine is what is called
arrows of love" The stones seem TO
be like pieces OF clear agate, imbed-
ding little pencils or webs OF sparkling
hairs When turned in the light these
curious stones glitter with beautiful
changes and reflections. Most OF the
gems grow in pockets, being attached
to the walls. la some cases prisms
have been found with the centers at
tached and ends growing into space.
Some ofthe Examinations are peculiar
ly beautiful.
A very curious product ofthe mine
is peculiar crystal inclosing fluids.
Sometimes one of these specimens left
in the cold will explode like pistol
when the cryst, freezes. Many Of the
large crystals are valuable as speci-
men. Some weigh as much as twenty
FIVE pounds. The fine gems found in
the mine are worth from ten to thirty
times their weight in gold A good
deal of iron pyrates, or FOOLS gold, has
been found. i;
While searching for minerals
the farmers OF Alexander
county have found many curl

THE NEW SOUTH.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson Gives an
Encouraging Hope for Our
Future.

Boston Herald.
Mr. Edward Atkinson delivered a
lecture on THE New South and What
it Promises" at Christian Union Hall,
Saturday evening, basing his remarks
principally on his experience at the
recent Atlanta Cotton Exposition,
Among the chstty "reminiscences of
Mr.. Atkinson's visit, as detailed BY
him, was the fact that prominent
Southern planters had said they de.
sired Northern immigration Of al
classes EXCEPT Mormons and secession
lists The Southerners, he said, coulC
be talked with and sauced with i'm
punity in regard to things before
tho war, but some of them would b,
very indignant if anybody doubted
that the South would equal, If no

arts within FIVE years. The temper o
the South was illustrated by a remarl
ola grandson of Mr.. John Q. Calhoul
to Mr.. Atkinson. Mr.. Calhoun, Will

How to Spend the Peoples
Money.

A Washington special says. AS if
there we're no other ways of spending
the money Of the people, it is proposed
in a bill introduced by Houk, Of Ten
nessee, to extend the provisions Of the
pension laws to civil officers injured
IN the enforcement of the revenue
laws, and to place on the pension rolls
the names Of the widows and depend
ent children Of all officers killed in the
enforcement of these laws. But the
work is not to be stopped there. Ford,
Of Missouri, has a bill "for the pay
ment of bounties to the heirs of COL
ored troops serving in the .ate war"
This bill amends the act of March
3, 1873, placing colored troops on the
same footing as to bounty as other sol
diers, so as to include heirs of all col
ored soldiers who may have died or
we're killed while in service. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury is directed To
examine claims Of heirs now filed or to
be fled, and upon sufficient proof TO
pay amounts to which they may be
found entitled out Of any money in
the Treasury not otherwise appro-
priated. The possibilities lurking in
this bill are of such character as ia
turn the head Of the claim agent, who
is disposed to be sanguine. Accord.
ing to the latest statistics furnished
by the War Department, the number
of colored troops who served in the
war was 93,44l. 1t is safe TO predict
that if this bill should become a law,
the nation would be appalled, to learn
from claim agents about the astonish.
ing mortality among the colOred troops
during and since the war, while the
number Of heirs whom these agent,
would bring forward for relief would
be prodigious.

DItAueu DtmOcfdti lulnsI
On Monday night last, Miss Bald
ridge, OF Martin, was inticed from her
home by a demon in human form
named Young, who brought her to
Dresden on the IL pm. train, on the
pretense of marrying her. On reach
ing here he pretended that he could
not get license till next day. and they
returned to Martin. They went to a
clearinghouse kept by Mr.. Warren
Smith, Young informing Smith that
he and the lady were married, and
calling for room. After many en-
treaties, he induced the lady to occupy
the room with him, telling her they
would certainly be married next day.
Next morning he donned his clothes
and left for parts unknown. A party
went in search of Young, but at last
accounts had not found him. We are
opposed, in most instances, to mob
violence, but this is one of the cases
in which the punishment prescribed
by law is inadquate to meet the helm
GUS crime, aud we think it would be
an act ofjustice for some of the girls
relatives TO kill Young oH sight.
