Bob TOOmbs' Wrath.

al have no answer to make" was the
sententious reply of General Robert
Toombs to messenger who handed him
note from his granddaughter, Mrs.
Galley, i'll which she asked the privilege
of visiting her grandmother, Mrs
Toombs, who was likely to die at any
moment. Mrs. Galley, nee Miss Camille
Dubois, was the General s favorite grand
child, Mr.. Galley was raised in the same
neighborhood in Wilkes County. Be-
tween him and Miss Camille love de-
veloped, ending in an engagement
Galley was poor; and this was mortal
sin in Toombs' eyes, and he forbade
communication between them. He read
his will to Miss Camille, in which she was
remembered to the extent of 100000.
81 will make it 100000 if you will
break off this engagement, said Cen
eral Toombs. The lady offered to re-
main single during her grandfather's
lifetime. Growing violent, he declared
that if she intended to throw herself
away on a poor man he would give her
forty-eight hours to leave the house.
This brought matters to crisis which
Mr.. Galley and Miss Dubois settled by
getting marrieds Immediately. General
ToombS at once disinherited her. and
refused all communication. The young
couple are applauded by the community.
General Toombs is blind in one eye, and
the other is almost out. An Atlanta
oculist is to operate on him next week.

A New Use for a MOther-in-Law.

At the Office of Leitch Bros steam
printing works are the remains of the
mother-in-l law of Mr.. A. L. Leitch, one of
the members of the firm, in a thoroughly
petrifed condition. The woman has been
dead about twenty-five years. The body,
according to the statement of promi-
nent physician, is in state of adipocere.
Mr.. Leitch has been keeping it in his
Office since it's arrival in Cincinnati, I'M
determined what to do with it, but his
brother informed reporter last night
that they are contemplating placing it on
public exhibition for the benefit of
science. Several physicians, he said,
who have examined the body consider it
a rare specimen of adipocere, and they
have broken off little pieces, toe or a
finger, and put them In their cabinets of
snails and cray-fish and other interesting
articles. The lady died of apoplexy,
and was buried in the graveyard of
Dupont, Ind. She was seventy-two years
of age at the time of her death. The
ground in which she has lain for the last
two dozen years is mainly of limestone
formation, and small streams of water
trickled through the limestone and came
in contact with the body Cincinnati

The Amsterdam Jews.

The Jews in Amsterdam are among
the most prominent citizens. The jew
merchant, the Jew broker, the jew
banker, the Jew physician, the Jew
artist and the Jew lawyer, is just as
great here as he is in all the cities of the
continent, only here he is not so intense
ly hated as he is in Germany. The race
has its palatial residences, its wonderful
bazars, and, as it is everywhere, it has
its fingers upon the financial pulse of
every country in the world. They know
every market. every money and mer-
chandise, and silently but certainly they
control it. They don't go about the
streets boasting of what they do and
what they knew they are not after
glory, but solid results. Solong as they
corral the ducats they don't care straw
as to who has the credit of it.
So one class of Jews in Amsterdam
live in palatial residences with as luxur-
ious surroundings as any noble in the
land, solacing themselves for any per
centage the noble gets in the way of
rank, with the calm sweet reflection
that he can buy or sell any one of them
any minute. In fact they have good
and lawful mortgage upon almost every
thing that is mortgageable.
But the Jews in Amsterdam are not all
of this class. There are 10000 of them,
and of the number majority are as poor
as people can be and live in any sort of
comfort.
The Jew quarter in Amsterdam is the
most peculiar place in Europe, except
Petticoat Lane in London. 1t is peculiar
in a great many ways. 1t is dirt and
squalor intensified. The streets in which
they live are barely twenty feet wide, the
sidewalks are only sidewalks in name,
the houses are narrow with stairs that
are so steep as to make an ascent the
work of a gymnast, and the smell-well
if there is anything that smells worse,
that is more offensive, we have not yet
discovered it.
In these noisome streets, crowded with
men, women and children, the latter
predominating, all the occupations of
the citizens are apparently out of doors.
There are small shops by the thousand
devoted to the sale of something. This
one deals in knit goods, next to it, in a
shed built out upon the street. is cob

close by is rag concern, pure and
simple, next is woman frying fish in
some sort of greasy compound which
the passers-by purchase and eat, next to
that is man saving old barrels in two,
making out of each barrel two wash
tubs with handles and all complete. And
so on.
The poor jew is the apostle of the sec
ond hand, l doubt if he could deal in
new material it he tried. His mission is
to gather everything that nobody else
can do anything with and make it good
for something.
The street is lined with cabbage-leaves
and refuse vegetation, and there is an
odor comes from it, ageneral sloppiness
and dirtiness, strangely in contrast with
the scrupulous cleanliness of the other
parts of the cleanest city on the globe. -

How To Buy A Horse.


An old horseman says: elf you want
to buy horse, don't believe your own
brother. Take no mans word for it.
Your eye is your market. Don't buy a
horse in harness. Unhitch him and
take everything off but his halter and
lead him around. If he has corn, or is
stiff, or has any other failing, you can
see it. Let him go+by himself little
ways and if he slaves right into anything
you may know he is blind. No matter
how clear and bright his eyes are, he
can't see any more than a bat. Back
him, too. Some horses show their
weakness or tricks in that way when they
don't in any other. But, be as smart as
you can, you'll get caught sometimes,
Even an expert gets stuck. A horse
may look ever so nice and go good
pace and yet have fits. There isn't a
man could tell it till something happens.
Or he may have a weak back. Give
him the whip and off he goes for mile
OR two, then, all of asudden, he stops in
the road. After a rest he starts again.
but he soon stops for good, and nothing
&, but derrick could move him.

Windows in the Barn.

One of the great mistakes which the
farmers of the past have made, has been
the keeping of farm animals in dark
barn. Many careful experiments show
that light is very necessary for health
and the good condition of animals.
Mich cows, when changed from dark
to light place, not only give more milk
on the same amount of food, but keep in
a better conGGtion; and when returned
to their former dark quarters, shrink to
the amount OF milk given before removed
to light place. What is true of the
COW is true of other animals. The horse
stable should not only be well ventilated
but also well lighted. Sunshine is almost
as necessary to good health as water and
air.
In building a barn efforts should be
made to locate it and arrange the inte-
rios so as to have good light from both
the south and west sides A light barn
is not only better for the animals, but it is
also much better and more pleasant for
the owner to feed his stock. There is a
serious objection to keeping hogs in
a barn cellar on account OF the
want of light. If it is intended
TO keep hogs on the manure, some
other place than the cellar should
be provided to keep it in. If the
barn sets on side hill, this can be
done by shed on the side of the barn
where the cattle are kept; it should be
some four to six feet lower than the barn;
this may be made light by numerous
windows. and will make an excellent
place to keep hogs in, and certainly a
better place to keep manure, because it
can be more easily carted out, and is
where the odors will not penetrate the
barn as much as when in the cellar.
As a. rule, the barns are too dark;
therefore the need of reform. There
are many farmers who have not yet
given the subject of light any attention,
but it is subject so important that no
farmer should neglect to give this care
full attention; by SO doing, few, if any,
will fail to become satisfied that few
things will pay better than few extra
windows in the barn.
In the days of our grandfathers when
every pane of glass, however small, was
taxed by the Government, there might
have been some reason for dark barns;
but now, when glass is cheap and the
Government officers do not stop to
count the panes of glass, there is no ex-
ouse for shutting out the hght.-MaSsG-

THERE is an anecdote afloat which make

tender appeal to every man who has had the
toothache. We have read it again and again,
with fearful eyes, because it brings up 50
