JOE Mulhatton has turned up in
North Carolina evidently. There can
be no doubt Of it, since thrilling &C.
count has gone out from Morehead, a
watering place on the coast, describ-
ing how Major Hawkins, from Ala
bama, tied little three year old girl
from Texas to a bunch Of toy balloons
for fun, and the balloons straightway
shot up into the clouds, and the child
was carried out to sea, floating like an
angel and crying Mamma r.
Mammal" Mr.. Voorhees,, of the
Southern Express, one of the best
rife shots in the South, happened to
be taking sail with other gentlemen
several miles out at sea, and as a mer-
ciful Providence had arranged it,
he had his Smith & Wesson
rife along. Seeing the angel
in the clouds six miles from land and
four hundred yards high he resolved
to stop the excursion and commenced
banging away with his trusty rife.
One by one he shot off the little bal.
looms and at the eighth shot the Sun
day-school girl began to descend. II
landed on a convenient sand bank
and the excursion, not in the least
surprised or disturbed, began to gather
shells for its mother who had tainted
and was under the care of a Louisiana
doctor. When VOORHEES, found that
he had not killed the child he broke
down entirely. There was a good
deal of fainting all around but the
Texas angel was quite composed. To
remove all doubts as to the truth ofthe
story it is stated that the child had
BEEN chilling and was very thin,
weighing, we are led to believe, about
seven ounces. 1t is nothing unusual
for the childrea to blow away in Tex.
as, but in FORTH Carolina where they
wear tar on their heels, it is such a
rare occurrence as to create quite q
sensation.

Wall Street News.

In the early days of Michigan, when
one dealer was the source of supply for
large territory, a capitalist from the
east suddenly bought up all the tabacco
and whisky to be got hold OF in the
state. There was no railroad communi-
cation it was winter, and there was no
navigation, and everything promised a
big profit on the speculation. Prices
began to creep up and settlers to inquire
and protest, and the capitalist was rub
bing his hands and holding on, when
something happened. He was on his
way to church one Sunday when he was
seized by band of tough looking pion-
eers and carried to the river, where a
hole had already been cut in the ice.
"What is the meaning of this" he
finally asked.
at means old prices fur whisky and
terl'acker!" replied the spokesman.
