Two Hundred Millions.

Mr.. Vanderbilt was worth 100000, GOO.
If we say that he was worth S500,0N0,.
600 or 81, 1000, 100000 do we get percep.
tibly different impression about the bulk
of, his fortune? Most people do not.
To the average mind the conception of
enormous wealth is much the same
whether it be reckoned in hundreds of
millions or in vigintillions. The human
mind cannot grasp these great sums or
clearly appreciate the difference between
one hundred millions and two huudred
millions.
Let us try and describe Mr.. Wander
bilt's great fortune in terms Of linear,
square and cubic measurement and of
weight. Everybody understands these
terms, and they make definite impress.
ion on mems minds.
If this sum of 5000, 100000 were in
standard silver dollars it would present
such features as this:
Put lengthwise, dollar after dollar, it
would stretch q distance of 1872 miles,
making a silver streak from New York
across the ocean to Liverpool.
Piled up, dollar on dollar, it would
reach a height of 955 miles.
Laid fiat on the ground, the dollars
would cover space of nearly GO acres.
The weight of this mass of silver
would be 7,l60 tons.
To transport it would require 35S cars,
carrying 20 tons each this IS the capaci.
ty of the strongest freight cars) and
making train just about two and half
miles long.
On ordinary grades it would requirN IL
locomotives to haul this train. On roads
of steep grades and sharp curves, Is Or
90 locomotives would be needed.
In one dollar bills this two-hundred-
million dollar fortune would assume such
shapes as this:
The bills stretched lengthwise would
extend 1854 miles, or nearly the cir
cumferen:e of the earth at the equator.
Piled up one on another, close as leaves
in new book, they would reach
height of II miles.
Spread out on the ground they would
cover TAG acres, or nearly the whole sur.

and reservoirs.
A safe deposit vault to contain these

Boys and Smoking.

One of the leading and standard pa
pcrs of the country, the Scientific Ameri.
can, says:
"The United States Navy annually
takes into its service large number Of
apprentice boys, who are sent all over
the world and taught to be thorough
sailors. 1t has been the policy of the
Government since the war to educate the
blue Jackets upon the principle that
the more intelligent a man is, the better
sailor be is likely to become. There is
no lack of candidates for these positions.
Hundreds of boys apply, but many are
rejected because they canuot pass the
physical examination. The first question
to boy who desires to enlist is: DO
you smoko?' The invariable response
is, No, sir, but the tell tale liscoloratioa
of the fingers at once shows the truth.
The surgeons say that cigarette smoking
by boys produces heart disease, and that
in ninety.nine cases out OF hundred the
rejection of would.be apprentices on
account of this defect, comes from the
excessive use of the milder form Of the
weed"
This is a remarkable statement, COM
ing, as it does, from so high an authority,
and based upon the results of actual cx
aminations going on day after day, and
month after month. 1t should be Il
warning to parents that the deadly ciga
rette is sure to bring about incalculabls
injury to the young.

The Effects of Prohibition.

We do not suppose that any one was
ever so foolish as TO contend that prohi.
bition would entirely stop the use of
spirituous liquors in town or county
where the law was adopted /; for there is
certain class of habilual drinkers to-
whom whiskey is almost as essential as
water. Some persons will send off and
buy it by the bottle or jug and drink it at
home. 1t is their privilege to do SO, and
no one will question this right. If a
man sees fit to lay drunk in his room
half the time it is his own business; but
when he makes public display Of his
appetite, to the annoyance of sober, citi.
zens, then it is time for the law TO step
in and take matters in hand. We reiter.
ate our assertion that not near the
amount of liquor is consumed in Athens
as before prohibition went into effect,
and few days since we had occasion to
pat matters to practical test. A gen-
tleman came to US 70 know where he
could get bottle for convivial friend.
Having none ourself, and as we wished
to oblige him, we took the street with
the party and called upon a number of
gentlemen who always had been in the
habit of drinking in moderation. We
stated the circumstances to them, and all
the Liquor that could be found in Athens
was about half pint. Had any of the
parties approached the wbiskey they
would cheerfully have surrendered it.
Thus it is seen that when you make it in.
convenient for man to get liquor, he
will gradually accustom himself 10 do
without it. But even, for the sake Of ar.
gument, admit that as much whiskey is
now consumed in Athens as before pro.
hibition went into effect, is this any rea.
son that we should give up the expert
ment? Is not the rising generation
worth saving, and does any man deny
that bar.rooms are veritable death traps
to the boys and young men Of Athens or
any other place? Drunkenness is as
much disease as consumption, almost as
hard to cure. Even if the confirmed
drunkards continue to send off and buy
their whiskey by the hogshead. if they
want to, and carry it home and soak It'll
by the quart, let us stick to prohibition
and keep the boys from following that
downward path. The editor of this pa
per has now four little boys growing up,
and if he can keep them away from tie
temptation of liquor until they reach
mans estate, We feel no fear but that
they will grow into good aud useful citi-
zens. But so long as they are exposed to
the temptation of gilded bar rooms, there
is constant danger of their falling by
the wayside. How any father, with sons
around his knee, can vote to keep the
temptation of liquor in their path, is he.
yond our ken. 1t will take at least I've
years to give prohibition fair test--eive
it time to get in some work on the boys,
and then if we find that the race of
drunkards is undiminished it will be
plenty of time to try another experiment.
If every man who now takes drink
dies of delirium tremens we will not
recede from our original stand until the
effects of prohibition are seen on the ris.
ing generation.-Banner Watchman.

HIS LIES STORY.

"I feel that have but few min
utes to live, and I want to say that |
have no remembrance of the past
twenty years. My name is Cole Car
rington, and [ was q surgeon in the
Confederate Army. On the goth Of
June, 1864, I was wounded in the
head while attending wounded sol
dier. Since that time remember
nothing"
The effort and excitement were too
much, and the poor fellow tainted.
Another swallow Of liquor brought
him back, although he was evidently
about gone. He family gasped:
"I live in Georgia. Tell my mother
write to-grand-," and he died.
After his death an examination of
the body disclosed that the hermit, or
Darlington, had received at one time,
years before, a wound in the head,
which had fractured the skull, driving
the splintered bones in upon the brain.
This had been the cause OF his demen-
tia, from which he had never recovered
up to few minutes before his death.
His story was without doubt true,
and could he have lived but few
minutes longer he would have given
minute tidings to his people who have
undoubtedly given him up for lost
these many years. 1t is q painful,
pathetic story of q lost life, whose hid
den fountains none may guess. He
was buried by the side of the stream,
beneath the spreading branches of a
maple at the foot Of the mountain,

l was within ten steps of General
Doles when he was killed. A Federal
sharpShooter had been picking off our
men all day, and | had been trying for
hours to locate him, but had failed to
do SO. / was in advance of our line a
hundred yards, and was concealed
behini a rock. Several times he had
shot at me. About fourteen hundred
yards in front Of us was strip of
woods. I knew the sharpshooter was
in them somewhere, but the tree tops
prevented my seeing the smoke Of his
gun. He had not shot at me in two
hours, but confined his fire to the line
in my rear. General Doles advanced
to where I was and asked me if |
couldn't silence that fellow, as he was
doing terrible execution in his lines.
I told him I had been trying to do it
all day, but had failed. He asked me
to do my best. He then stepped in
front Of me, and faced the woods, ex-
posing his entire person. I told him he
had better look out, as that fellow had
shaved me very close several times,
and it was dangerous to expose him
self. 1 had scarcely spoken the words
when ball struck him in the right
side, passing through his body, and
coming out under left arm. General

HUMAN GAME.

From this time it appears that for
five years all knowledge and trace of
this strange being was lost, except
that upon one occasion, at least, he
descended the mountain into Tazwell
county, Virginia, and obtained ammu-
milton and necessaries Of life, and
returned as mysteriously as he came.
In the summer Of 1870 or 1871 q
party of hunters were camped in
Mcdowell county, in the deepest por-
ton of the fiat top woods. They were
hunters from Ohio, somewhere, l
believe, in the Hancock valley. One
day one Of their number, James Hall,
or Wall, disappeared, and although
his friends searched far and wide, no
sign of him could be found for about q
week. Just as they were about to
give up in despair and leave the
neighborhood, he came into the camp
with an arm in q sling and his head
tied up, looking as though he had had
rough time of It. His story was
that during the day Of the hunt he
had strayed off several miles from his
friends, and that while climbing the
steep mountain side he had fallen
over n declivity, receiving injuries
which rendered him unconscious.
When he came too he found himself
in the arms of strange, weird-look-
ing man, who carried him as lightly
as if he had been an infant, up the
side of the mountain until they came
to q
DEEP, CAvERNoUs-LooKING HOLE.
In this place he was carried for per-
haps fifty feet, until they came to q
large, roomlike opening lighted
through creviccs in the rocks above,
when the strange man laid him gently
down upon a bed of pine boughs
The stranger then stripped his arms
and examined them. Finding his
right arm badly broken he set it care.

When he was able to travel, the
stranger one morning signiied by mo-
tions that Hall must go, much to
Halls relief, and conducted him down
the mountain, through the woods and
across streams, until they arrived in Il
sight of Halls camp. Hall walked
