Married in the Wonds.

From the CartsrSgt1e (Ga.j Anerjcan.
The old adage that love laughs at lock-
smiths IS verified every day. On last
Wednesday Mr.. Newt Lowery, the young
merchant on the Donthltts ferry road,
just outside the limits of the city, was the
hero of quite a romantic little affair. For
sometime he and Miss Erwin, a daughter
Of Mr.. j. w. l.. Erwin. have been ex-
changing tender thoughts, until Cupid
sealed their destiny and implanted in
their hearts a determination to launch
their bark upon the sea of matrimOny.
But there was not to be smooth sailing.
The parents Of the young lady had not
been sufficiently wOed and won, so lit
tie storm was raised, and progress for a
time was stayed. And when things were
again moving serenely at home, and the
parents least expected it. the young
groom stole away from the paternal roof
the coveted prize, and under the sylvan
shades of strip OF woods, just within the
outskirts OF town, famed by the gentle
spring zephyrs, the Rev. John Anderson,
made the happy pair man and wife.

A Human Turkey.
From tie Perry lGa.l Home Journal.

FROM the Per"y GA Home Journal.
An amusing, though somewhat distress
ing, incident transplred near SpoOnVile.
in this county, last Saturday morning.
Mr.. Il. l.. Judge went into Big Creek
swamp early that morning, before day-
break, for the purpose Of fishing. Having
previously seen drove of wild turkeys
in the swamp, he carried his gun along.
Not long after he arrived at the creek, he
heard what ne supposed to he a turkey
yelping. He located the noise in a clump
OF bushes, ana crept stealthily toward the
spot. When within gun-shot range, he
distinctly saw what he thought was a
large turkey gobbler. The yelping con-
tinued, and Mr.. Judge fired, the gun be.
ing loaded with thirty buckshOt. His sur
prise can better be imagined than de-
scribed when negro man leaped to his
feet on the spot where the supposed tur-
key was shot at. The negro was badly
hurt, five buckshot having been lodged in
the back Of his head, though 10 is not
thought that tue wound will prove fatal.
That negro will hereafter be more careful
about initiating a turkey, and MIR. Judge
thinks he will in the future be able to
distinguish negro from a turkey, even
In a creek swamp.

Sea.

Outcome OF the visit to the City by the
Sea.
CHARLESTON, April l5.-The Augusta
visitors who came here to interest
Charleston in the projected Augusta and
Chattanooga railroad, which is called
Editor Walsh's Blue Line to the sea, have
departed for home. They had pow WOW
Yesterday with the mercantile big wigs
OF Charleston at which good deal of
taffy was exchanged, but which, as far
as can be seen, resulted in nothing. The
Augusta men pointed out the ad-
vantages that would result to Augusta
by the building Of the proposed
route, but if the views expressed by
the Charleston big wigs are Interpreted
rightly, they failed to point out the ad-
vantages to be derived by Charleston. AS
was said by one of the home team of
speakers, it would be good thing for Au-
gusta to get new and shorter road to
Chattanooga, but when the great products
OF the West reached Augusta what was
to prevent them from going to Savannah
or Port Royal, where great quantity of
them goes now. Another speaker said
that Charleston was very conservative,
which is true and which may be ac-
counted for by the fact that Charleston
has already put about Sc, ,000, 900 in Vari-
ous railroad enterprises (I mean six
millions of public money!, and does not
own dollar OF stock TODAY. The money
has been sunk. Charleston men to-day do
not own a controlling interest in a single
railroad in the State. 1t is not probable,
therefore, that Charleston will invest
heavily in Mr.. Walsh's Blue Line.
There is boom here in fairs, two of
these institutions being on the carpet for
Easter week. The Catholics of the city
will hold a falr for the benefit of the build
ing fund for st. Patrick's church. The
annual flower show Of the Agricultural
Society occurs the same week, during
which also LeCOeq's opera "Manola" will
be brought out at the Academy of Music
by Charleston amateurs under the direc-
ton of Madame BarbOt. After that there
will be a lull, as all Charleston expects to
attend the Savannah centennial on the
following week.

A Mammoth Gator.

From the 50. augustine (FId.) Weekly.
The largest alligator ever exhibited in
St. Augustine was brought here on Sat
urday last by Capt. " N. II. Johnson, the
mighty Nimr0d of far-famed Moultrie. 1t
was shot a day or two before in Moultrie
creek, near the gallant Captains hOspit-
able nome, and the skill and sagacity en-
ployed by capt. Bill" in getting near
enough TO insure ''dead shot," accord
ing to his enthusiastic description OF the
ruse), is worthy of no less a character
than Daniel Boone, OF old. The gator
measured nearly IA feet in length,
with portion of his caudal
appendage gone, and was as broad across
tue back as 600-pound "porker." Its
jaws were nearly or quite three feet in
length, and wide enough to take in a full
grown man. Perhaps a better idea of its
size may be gained from the fact that
leading taXidermist wanted $40 for
skinning and setting 1T up. Rather than
pay such an enormous price the Captain
very wisely ordered his faithful servant
10 return with the monster from whence
he came, where he will make good use of
the skin and teeth,
