Tribute Of Respect,

To Brother A. A. Fuqua who died
at his residence in Lafayette Ky,
July 18th, 1885, aged So years.
Like shadows we pass away, we
lay down our weapons of warfare
and quit the walks of man, our race
run and our work ended.
In life with bowed heads and
sorrowful hearts the measured beat
of the funeral march we follow to the
last resting place, all that remains of
our departed brethren.
So brethren, we have been called
upon to lay away the remains of our
brother, A. A. Fuqua, an active
member of this Lodge of f. and A.
Masons, for eleven years, having been
initiated the 10Th day of Sept. 1874,
passed to fellow craft degree
the "a day of Oct. 1874, and
raised to the sublime degree of Mas
ter Mason the 25th day of Nov. 1874
During his life he filled the office of
Junior Warden and Senior Warden
and was a good and faithful crafts
man and master workman. But alas !!
he is gone, having finished his course,
he quilted the Lodge below and join
ed the Lodge in the skies to adorn
the ranks of the redeemed Master
Masons and TO do homage to the
Great Supreme Worshipful Master,
and to join in the happy chorus of
the blood-washed throng who forever
and ever sing poeans of praise to Him
who doeth all things well.
Therefore we bewail our loss and
rejoice in his gain; we wear the
badge of mourning and bear in our
hearts the grief and sorrow of those
who are left weeping on the shore to
which he can return no more.
We tender our sympathies to the
widow and child, to the parents,
brothers and sisters of the deceased
commend his spirit to God and cher.
ish his memory here" We spread
this memorial upon the records of the
Lodge, and through the Secretary fur.
nish a copy to the widow. We can do
no more than call upon Thee o God
Supreme Worshipful Master of oul
Order, to send blessings full and free
upon the bereaved companion of oul
departed brother. $50 mote it be.

Central City, Ky, Aug. 3O-A
day or two since Mr.. John w. Norf-
singer, who lives about four miles
east of this place discovered on his
farm what he believes TO be rich
gold mine. He commenced to sink a
well, and after digging about six feet
he struck particles of bright yellow
substance in a strata of sand and
sand rotk. The metal has every ap-
pearance of gold, and is so malleable
as to bend easily when taken between
the fingers. 1t exists in considerable
quantities, and should it prove TO be
gold, the find is rich one. Several
persons who claim to be judges have
examined it and declare it to be
gold.

Old Men in GeOrgia.

A correspondent of The Montezunaa
Record has been examining the records
in Dooly county and has discovered
that there are living in Dooly 160
white men who are over 60 years of
age. Of that number u are over 20
and 10 are over so years of age.
We could not, perhaps, name more
than six men, white or black, in this
county, who are over 80 years of age.
The oldest colored man we ever
saw was living in this county, in 1877.
An amusing incident occurred during
the election to decide the location of
the state capital. The people of
Pulaski were almost unanimous for
Milledgeville. though there were some
clever and influential citizens for
Atlanta.
Among those who favored Atlanta
as the state capital was Mr.. Oliver
Jelks. Sr. Those who remember the
old gentleman know how lntencely in
terested he could become in any politi-
cal contest. When he espoused a
cause, he became enthus astic, and in
the contest between Atlanta and Mill
edgeville he let himself out to the
last buckle Tor Atlanta.
Mr.. Jelks gave the old negro men
toned an Atlanta ticket and told him
to 90 to the courthouse and. vote it.
The old darky made his way to the
courthouse, and as he approached the
polls he was met by some young
white men who were working for
M1lledgevllle. They looked at the
old fellows ticket, and seeing it was
for Atlanta, they handed it back to
him and told him that he was too old
to vote. The old man did not dispute
the statement, but supposed it was so,
and turned round and retraced his
steps. On his way down the street
he was met by Mr.. Jelks, who asked
him if he had voted. He replied:
'.Old master, de young gemmans
say Use too old to vote. and | reckon
! is"
Mr.. Jelks jumped clear off the
ground, thew his arms wildly into the
air, and shrieked:
TOO old to vote! Too old to vote!
I'll show 'em!' and he led the old
darby back to the polls and he put
in a vote for Atlanta.
Mr.. Jelks, passed away in 1888,
aged upward of 80 years. He was the
oldest man in Hawkinsville. His only
brother, Mr.. William c. Jelks, is still
living. and resides at Barrsville, Fla.
We do not know his age, but it is prob
ably Is years. He was engaged in
business in Hawkinsville over fifty
years ago.--HawkinSuiLle (Ga.) Dis

The Culinary Art in Japan.

One great drawback to foreign trav-
ell in Japan is said, by correspondent
of the Chicago Times, to be the diff
Guilty of getting suitable food. 1t IS
better in that country to seat such
things as are set before you and ask
no questions for there is such a
general mixture of cookery that to
know what one is eating is not always
pleasant. If you tell the Japanese
to cook you chicken you hear a
squawking in the house, and in just
five minutes the bird is before you, all
cooked. Thin copper pans are placed
upon a charcoal fire, and almost i'm
mediarely they are heated to white
heat. Oil is dropped in, the chicken
on top, and all is over. The diet OF
the natives is mostly rice, sweet po-
tatoes, fish and few vegetables.
Buckwheat is made into soup. Flesh
is but little eaten, and only since the
advent of foreigners have they learn
ed to eat it at all.

Earth Vibrations.

Very probably not only fish but ami
mails and some birds hear as much by
the vibration of the earth as by the
sound travelling in the atmosphere,
and depend as much upon their inn
mediate perception of the slightest
tremor of the earth as upon recogni-
ton by the ear In the manner familiar
to ourselves. When rabbits, for in
stance, are out feeding in the grass,
it is often possible tc get quite close to
them by walking in this way, extreme
ly slow, and carefully placing the
foot by slow degrees upon the ground.
The earth is then merely pressed, and
not stepped upon at all, so that there
is no jar. By doing this | have often
moved up within gunshot of rabbits
without the least aid from cover.
Once now and then l have walked
across field straight at them. Some
thing. however, depends on the
direction of the wind, for then the
question of scent comes in. To some
degree it is the same with hares. 1t
is certainly the case with birds, as
wood pigeons, flock of them. will re-
main feeding only just the other side
OF the hedge; but if you stamp the
earth, will rise instantly. So will
rocks, though they will not fly far if
YOU are not armed. Partridges
certainly secure themselves by their
attention to the faint tremor of the
ground. Pheasants do SO too, and
make off, running through the under
wood long before any one is in sight.
The most sensitive are landrails, and
it is difficult to get near them, for
this reason. Though the moving
grass must conceal an approaching
person from them as it conceals them
from him, these birds change their
positions, no matter how quietly he
walks. Let him be as cunning as he
will, and think to cut off corners and
cross the landraiIs retreat, the bird

A Mexican Deiicacy,

In the market places of several
Western Mexico towns peasant women
bring in for sale trays, covered with
living ants. each about as big and
round as large white currant, and
each entirely filled with honey or
grape-sugar, much appreciated by the
ingenious Mexican youth as an excel
lent substitute for coffee. They hold
the ant by ito head and suck out the
honey, with which its back parts are
greatly distended, and throw away
the empty body. Women buy the ants
by the quart, press out the honey
through muslin strainer and make
it into a sweet intoxicant that is
greatly enjoyed by Mexican youth and
husbands. Philadelphia Press.
