Rome Bulletin Mr.. Satterfeld's
maidstone arrived from Gainesville
yesterday, for the use of Mr.. Lambert
and his porter, both of whom were
bitten by the mad dog Wednesday.
Mr.. Lambert only received small
scratch, and thinks that he has al
ready succeeded in extracting the poi
son from his wound. But the color
cd boy applied the stone to the wound
inflicted by the dog, and the stone ad-
hered to the sore place. The theory
is that if the stone sticks when applied,
it is an indication that the poison is
there, and if it fails to stick, there is
no danger of the dog that bit you hav-
ing been mad. But ifyou have been
bitten by mad dog the mad stone
will adhere to the wound until it has
drawn out all the poison. The stone
did not long stick to the wound of
the colored boy, but soon fell off.

self-but should follow in Browns footsteps
in whatever course he pursues-that he should
let Browns course be his guide for action
We feel sure that Colquitt was actuated by
patriotic motives in his opposition to Speer

will show their approval Of his services at
the proper time Having watched with dis

past, we can not but dub him the Malone

On the express train from New
Haven, which reached New York
Wednesday evening, there was one
passenger who did not pay any fare.
The conductor did not even ask him
for his ticket, and did not threaten to
stop the train and put him off-with
the aid of brakeman or two. The
passenger did not make his appear
ancc until the train was in the vicin-
lty Of New Rochelle. In fact he was
not born until then. The mother
was Annie Brown, and she lives in
South Brooklyn. When the train
reached the city she was taken to
Bellevue Hospital in m ambulance.

An Extensive LuxurY.

More than ever before has it been
fashionable tins winter and spring to
give dinner parties. writes Clara Belle,
and more than ever have table and
room decorations in honorof the event
been popular. A dinner party in New
York's fashionable quarter means
something more than merely putting
food before guests and letting them
eat and run off somewhere else. 1t
involves, if the dinner be up to the
standard. a profuse decoration of the
rooms with flowers and CONNECTION
pieces, the distribution of bouquets
and favors to each guest, and the gen
eral entertainment of the party until
such time as it breaks up. So much
Of preparation does it involve that
many prefer to take guests to Del
monico's or the Brunswick, or to some
of the other places where they are in
the business. Or it may be that the
Fifth avenue resident may decide to
give his entertainment at his own
home. and may put the entire charge
Of it in the hands of Delmonico, who
will furnish everything that is to be
used, and will cart it all away the next
day. He limits the expense to so
many hundred dollars, aud belmont
cos assistants do the rest. OF 5ener,
however, the Fifth avenue man has a
chief to whom he gives a large salary,

Eloped with a Farm Hand.

A somewhat new thing in the elope-
ment line is reported from Darlington,
Montgomery county, Ind. A fellow
from Virginia, known as Major Tomlin-
son, left with the wife of Harvey Shau-
yer, a prosperous young farmer living
five miles north Of that place. Mr..
Shaver and wife We're thought to be
living happily, with three beautiful
little children. Mr.. Shauver's suspi-
cions were aroused by one of the little
fellows telling him that the major, who
was a farm hand, kissed ma and ma
kissed major" Mr.. Shaver took his
wife to task for such action. She did
not deny it, and also stated that she
would kiss him just when she pleased.
Mr.. Shaver chastised her for her con
duct, and paid the major off, telling him
that he would give him until Wsdnes-
day to leave. This seemed to raise the
ire OF Mrs. Shaver, and she quickly
gave her husband to understand that
she would go with the discharged man.
Mr.. Shaver knelt III prayer, and pray
ed long and fervently that such thought
should not be entertained by his wife,
but his prayers would not soften or
change her heart. Mr.. Shaver gave
her all her belongings, and the baby,
a beautiful boy two years old; he help
ed her into the sleigh, tucked the wraps
close around her, and with tears al
most streaming from his eyes, kissed
her and the child good by, telling her
that he hoped and prayed she would be
satisfied with her ill-judged undertake
ing. The couple stated that they were
going to Oregon.

The New Senator.

Spooner, the new Republican Sena-
tor from Wisconsin, is considerably
below medium stature-in fact, rather
a teaspooner in size. Although there
does not seem tc be anything the mat
ter with his brain, his physical appear
ance does not impress a stranger with
a sense OF greatness. Naturally he is
a little sensitive on this point. The
other day while sitting in a newspaper
office here he was introduced to a
gentleman as Colonel Spooner, of
Wisconsin,
"Ah! glad to know you. Are YOU a
relative of the new Senator of that
namepn
The mutual friend fastened to explain
that the Colonel and the Senator were
identical. The gentleman looked at
Spooner in a half-incredulous sort of
way, as if sizing him up and Judging
him by the standard Of a tape line
He at the same time begged his pardon
in a tone that poorly concealed his
surprise. The newly fiedged statesman
could stand it no longer. and exclaim-
ed with some petulance:
Great Scott! do you D a man
has got to be seventeen feet high in
order to be a United States Senator?',

nothing more than the mar and the rab-
BILE he had collected around him for the
purpose of annoying Colonel Taylor
while speaking. Afew minutes after
ward this same person brought a horse,
as though he a for sale, and contin-
ued for ten or fifteen minutes to ride
before the court house door, crying the
horse in loud and boisterous tone of
voice. The Judge sat as a silent listen
er to the indignity offered the Court and
counsel by this man, without interpos-
ing his authority.
To show the depravity of the times
and the people, after the verdict had
been delivered by the jury, and the
Court informed Wilson that he was dis.
charged, there was a rush towards him;
some seized him by the hand some by
the arm, and there was a great and loud
rejoicing and eyultation, directly in the
presence Of the Court; and Wilson told
the Sheriff to take the jury toa grocery,
that he might treat them, and invited
every body that chose to go. The house
was soon filed to OVERLOOKING. There
ioicing was kept up till near supper
time. But, to clap the climax, soon af-
ter supper was over, q majority of the
jury, together with many others, went
to the rooms that had been occupied
several days by the friends and relatives
Of the murdered Anthony, and com
menced q scere Of the most ridiculous
dancing, as it is believed, in triumph or
Wilson and as a triumph over the feel
ings of the relatives of the departed AM
thony. The scene did not close here.
The party retired to q dram-shop and
continued their rejoicing until about
lO:3Oo'clock. They then collected a par
eel of horns, trumpets, ETC., and
marched through the streets blowing
them till near day, when one OF the
party rode his horse on the porch adj
joining the oom which was occupied by
relatives of the deceased.
