ny WHAT POWER ?

The Rome Bulletin narates the
following: There is now living in
Polk county, about IA miles from
Rome, girl IA years of age who
possesses wonderful and inexplicable
powers. She is daughter of one of
Polk county's best and most honora'
BILE families. 1t is said that the little
girl can place her hand upon a chair
and it will walk all about the room.
She places her hand upon table
and it moves az she wishes it. Our
informant says that she placed her
hand upon a chair in which man
sat and the chairman and all
moved at her touch. He says that
O man sat IN the chair and another
man lying under it tried to hold the
chair to the floor, but that under her
my sterious touch the chair pulled to
pieces. This little girl was 10 Rome
Tuesday, and while in one of the
stores she placed her hand upon a
stool and it promptly moved 10 ODE
dience to her will. A gentlem 4n
standing by said: THAT is strange y
She replied: THAT is nothing. l
can place my hands upon that short
counter and it will move as easily"
They call it magnetism, electricity
and all that, but the fact still re-
mains and the mystery is unsolved.

DEAD PARTY.

Gen. Longstreet has been to
w ashington and has talked to q
reporter. He said:
1.-THE republican party 10 Geor>
gia9 Well, as far as | am able to
ascertain, there is no Republican
party in Georgia. 1t is a shadow
name without substance behind it.
The vote of the Republican in the
State is not large enough for them
as a body to be called a party. The
only time that there is any evidence
of the existence of Republican
party 10 Georgia is when there are
officers to be given out. Then you
hear something about it,"
Chow about the Republican party
in the Sonth generally 7" was asked.
Looking over the entire field, "
replied Gen. Longstreet, musingly,
81 am constrained to say that in the
other Southern States the Repnbli
can party is even worse off than it
is in Georgia. The only chance OF
there ever being such "a party is
to carry Virginia. Virginia was
lost the last time, but there is going
to be an unprecedent effort to carry
10 the next election, and if it is not
carried then, the last pin upon which
Republicans hopes in the South are
will be knocked away"

A PARAs1T1cAL WONDER.

From the Dublin, Ca. Gazette
Certainly the most remarkable
snake story that we have ever heard
comes from old Kinetucky district
10 this county. 1t is no story, but
is vouched for by some of the best
men in the county who saw the won
derful monstrosity. Mrs. Bryant A.
Gay ordered q beef killed and point
ed cut one which was small to its
age. thinking that it would never
be of any size. The cow was four
years old and its remarkable small
size had frequently been the subject
of coment After the beef was kill
ed and the disemboweling process
gone through, Mr.. Case Abbott no.
ticed that in one of the larger intes
tibes, something was seen to move
and keep up constant motion; curl
osity led him to cut it open, and as
this was done, very large snake,
the coscbwhip, ran out on the
ground some distance, but was kill
ed. By this miraculous revelation,
Mr.. Hover Gay and Captain Abbott
we're almost COMPOUNDED, but pro-
ceeded with the process of butcher
ing; but when the windpipe was
opened and the sack covering the
"lights" or luDgs, they were doubly
ooufounded to discover thirty-seven
smaller snakes of the same species
Each one of these was holding 90 to
the lungs, and thus, we presume,
securing life. After dressing the
beef it only weighed eighty pounds.
The story may seem improbable, but
not more so than Jonah and the
whale. 1t may have been parasi,
ticaI fungus, but the gentlemen who
saw it affirm that the parasites, if
such you may cell them, were snakes
and the old fashioned coachwhip
a variety in which the wire grass
country sbounds.

UNwISE ACTION,

The colored educational conven~
ton, which met 10 Atlanta last week
four hundred delegates strong, we
regret to see are disposed to drag
their securing of educational privi>
leges into politics, as the following
resolutions adopted by them will
show:
/. That measures should be taken
BY organization to secure the pay
ment of a larger part of the poll
taxes, and in this way increase the
school fund, and to secure the cleo
ton to the State Legislature of men
who will pledge themselves before
hand to use their endeavors to raise
| additional funds for educational
purposes, and to procure fsir and
Just distribution of the money raised
by the State or counties for the ed
uoation of children without regard
to race or color.
2. That we believe such changes
should be made 10 the school laws
of the state as to give the election
of trustees and county commission
ers into the hands of the people, co.
large the membership of the State
board, giving representation to all
sections and both faces, protect
teachers from delays in prompt pay
ment when the work 10 done and
make suitable provisions for normal
training of teachers.
For the negroes to carry out their
programme, as formulated above, is
to make direct political issue with
the white people, which 10 place of
promoting the educational object
sought by them, will raise race pre-
JUDGE, and defeat their purpose
The white people will not consent
to have their trustees and county
school commissioners partly formed
by negro representation, because the
educational fund is raised by the
white people in large part aud me-
gro dictation will not prove soothing
to the feelings of taxed burdened
people. No, the negroes cannot
get additional education or advan-
tages by attempting to force by ballot
the white people of this country in
to complying with their demands
They must get it in the future, as
they have in the past, by the vol
untsry action of the white people, or
by working and paying for it, which
would be more independent and
creditable to their self,respect and
manhood.

HOLE IN HIS HEAD.

Instances of men living with
holes in their heads are quite rare,
but e young man named Charles
Rheimer, of Brooklyn, who acci-
dentslIy shot himself in the head,
has 80 far recovered that his physi
clan pronounce him out of danger.
tho course of the ball was probed
to the depth of six inches through
the centre of the cerebrum, but the
missed could not be removed. Ii
has become incysted and the wound
has healed. The mental faculties Of
the patient are entirely unimpsired.
The most wonderful case of the kline
on record 10 that of a lsborer who
had tamplng iron blown directly
through his brain by the premature
explosion of a blast, and who liveC
in good health for several years Of

10000 SHEEP.

A. P. Moore, who owns Santa
Rosa Island near the California
coast, has $4,000 sheep, from which
he clipped, in June last, 415,74O
pounds of wool. He sold this for
S212, $40 so, and realized a clear
profit of $4,000. Four men are
employed regularly the year round
to keep the ranch in order and to
look after the sheep. and during
shearing time fifty or more shearers
are employed. These men get forty
or fifty days work, and the average
number of sheep sheared day is
about ninety, for which five cents q
clip is paid, $3.50 day being made
by each man. Mr.. Moore, who
bought the property from his BROTH
er's widow for 100000, has leased
it to his brother Lawrence for Sl40,-
900 a year, and will travel for his
health.

Harrodsburg, Ky, Special, Dec. IA.
Last night Charles Italie, a drum
mer travelling for a wholesale jewel
cry establishment in Philadelphia,
arrived here, and was recognized
by his appearance before be regis
tered at the hotel. He was decoyed
by a personal advertisement, pur>
porting to be from a Harrodsburg
lady printed in a Cincinnati paper.

up for a long time, and place of
meeting had been appointed. Dress
ed in elaborate style, be set out from
HE hotel for the place of meeting,
recognized the spot by diagram
he had received in the course of his
correspondence, but, Instead of
meeting the young lady, he fell
into the hands OF dozen boys, who
took him to pond on the United
States Government Asylum grounds.
The day had been rather pleasant,
but the night was raw and chilly.
He begged, but the boys had no
compassion. They divided into
squads ard each squad took its turn
at ducking the drummer in the pond
At midnight he crept into the hotel
dripping wet. This morning he
purchased new clothing, aud quit
the town, begging that the story
should not be made public. Charles
Italie is said to be the husband OF
one wife aud the father of two chill
dren.

GREAT MEN.

1t is often said of this or that mar
that he is self made man-that he
was born of the poorest and hum
blest parents, and that with every
obstacle to overcome he became
great. This is a mistake, Power
ty is generally an advantage. Most
of the intellectual giants of the world
have been nursed al the sad but
loving breast of poverty. Most of
those who have climbed highest on
the shining ladder of fame commenc-
ed at the lowest round They were
reared in the straw thstched cot
tsges of Europe; in the log houses
of America; in the factories of the
great cities in the midst of toll in
the smoke and din of labor and the
verge of want. They were rocked
by mothers whose hands at the same
time were busy with the needle or
the wheel.

There is now little doubt that there
will soon be a war between France
and China, and hostilities may &C.
lively begin at any day. Extensive
preparations have been made on
both sides. The Chinese are not a
warlike race, end have not had a
general wal with any foreign power
for centuries. The French are pro
baby ss we'll equipped as any ma"
ton in the world, and it is likely that
the Celestials will have enough of
the conflict with the Western bar
barians, as they call all Europeans,
in a few months.

TARIFF.

Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan says :
"But 10 the name of common sense,
is it not time we lifted from the backs
of the people q burden of taxation
that makes the cost of wooden blank
cts, clothing, harness, furniture,
drugs, books and almost everything
else far in excess of its real value
for the beueft of few shrewd in>
terested protectionists who pocket
the proceeds and spend small share
of it in hiring men to preach to the
credulous, lsboring man the old ex-
ploded theory that were it not for
protection, every laboring man would
be turned starving on the commuui-
ty. The Democrats should collect
enough revenue to run the govern
ment economically. They should
not roll up millions of surplus in the
treasury for the benefit of protec>
tionists."

BIG VERDICT.

The verdict in the Dwight insur
snce case, which was rendered at
Norwich, N Y, in favor If the
plaintiffs against the Germania Life
Insurance Co., will affect eighteen
other companies The history of the
case, briefly told, is as follows:
Col. Walton Dwight, proprietor of
hotel at Binghamtou, N. Y took
out, in the year 1878, policies of in>
surance on his life in twenty one
companies, aggregating in amount
S255,OOO. Towards the latter end
of that year he died, and by the
terms of his will his wife was made
executrix and Messrs. Chapman and
Lyon executors of his estate.
When the insurance companies
were called on for the payment of the
policies, the Equitable at once han
ded over $4,000, the amount for
which the deceased had insured his
life in that company. A short time
after the Home Company paid it's
share-$5,000. The other compa-
MES refused to pay the policies, Civ
ing as reason that Col. Dwight had
procured the assurances with the in
teution of taking his life and so saw
ing his family from want, and they
directly charge that he did commit
suicide with that intent. The rep,
resentatives of these companies ban
ded together to resist the payment of
the policies, and selected Timothy
II. Brosnan, OF the United States
Company, as Chairman of commit
tee to contest the matter in the
courts. 1t was agreed by the con-
testing companies to accept the suit
against the Germania as a test case
and abide by its result.
