Milledgeyille Union and Recorder: Ow-
ing to the great demand for the admission
at insane persons to the lunatic asylum,
where early and prompt treatment prom
lseS restoration, the trustees have found
1t necessary to refuse admission to harm
less epileptics and idiots who cannot be
benefited by treatment. A home and
school for this latter unfortunate class
should be provided. Cheap wooden build
lngs would answer for them, and they
could be taught to be self-sustaining III

the lunatic asylum, could be established

at Atlanta by the remarks of United
States Senator Joseph E. Brown at the
commencement exercises of the Atlanta
Girls High School. Senator Brown was
orator, and on the stage was Hon. A. D.
Mayer, q prominent Hebrew, and two out
of the tive honor girls were Jewesses. AS
a consequence the entire Hebrew pOpula-
tiOn of the city was present. Senator
Brown eXtolied the Christian religion as
having elevated woman from slavery,
and turning to the graduates called upon
them to be ready to suffer for Christianity.

spoken in their denuncidtiOn of drawing
the religious line IN public schools.
Some months ago Alfred Bertling, Of
Athens. married Miss Mary Louise Bert
ling in Augusta. She was relative of
Dir. Bertling and bore the same name. He
married her knowing at the time of the
marriage that her mind was not sound,
she having been discharged from an
asylum in London uncured. Since
their marriage Mrs. Bertling mas
become more unsettled in her mind.
and has on several occasions left
home, and would stay for several
days at a time. Mr.. Bertling thought
nothing OF this, as he always knew she
was with friends who would care for her.
Saturday evening, about 4 O'Clock, she
left home without leaving word where she
was going, and stayed away until Monday
morning without giving any explanation
as to where she had been. Mr.. BerthDg
is greatly troubled over the actions of his
wife, and thinks that some designing per-
sons who know that his wife is of
an unsound mind, have taken ad-
vantage of her and by secret modes Sc
duced her from home. MIR. Bertling says
shat he is determined to tind out who it is
that is trying to seduce her from her home
and friends, and will prosecute them to
the fullest extent of the law. He re-
spectfullY asks those who come in con-
tact with his wife not to speak to her or
have anything to do with her.

asked me yesterday if / would like to see

mond, of Burke. l, of course, was very
anxious to see the man l bad heard so
much of, the man who had been pictured

we were at place known as the old bluff
or the haunted hill of Brlar creek. AS
we walked through the dismal swamp, We
heard no sign save the dreary chirp of the
"katydid" and now and then the boot Of
an owl. In a moment we looked upon the
mad waters Of the creek as they lay boil
ing and surging beneath the sultry sun
of a June day; when, all at once,
my friend said, "Look thereof l looked
and there, standing on the top of the hill
about 200 feet above US, | saw man
about six feet tall, dressed in coon skins
from head TO foot, leaning his chin upon
a long rifle as If contemplating what to do
with US. Thus appeared our hero. |

no, he only hurts terrapins and cat fish.
DON'T be disturbed; ne won't trouble us"
"Who is he?'' said |. "Well," said my
friend, "he is the young man who was
once familiarity known as the MAJOR but
since he has been living here he has grown
wild, and insists upon being called the
