An Imaginative GeorgIan's Story.


 A gentleman who lives in the eastern part of this county tells one of those stories that few people will believe "witnout seeing it. :" He says that he was out fox hunting, and when the chase was at the height of it's ex- citement his horse ran into an old well thir- ty feet deep. The horse was instantly killed by the fall but the rider was unhurt. The wallis of the we'll had caved in at the bottom A distance of three or four feet. and the gen tleman says this prevented getting out by digging footholds. Realizing his situation he began to cali for help at the top of his voice, but no assistance came. He was com peled to remain in the we'll all night, and the next morning the stench arising from the dead carcass of the horse was anything but pleasant, and he noticed that buzzerds were soaring over the spot. Fiually the bug cards began to alight in the well, and it was then that bright idea struck him. He de- eided to catch the buzzards by the leg as they came down until he got sufficient number to carry him out. That he did, and when he caught as many as his hands could hold be ''shooed" at them and they flew up, carrying him out of the well.
 But still the fox hunter was in dilemma. The buzzards flew up so rapidly thai he could not turn loose when he reached the top withou. falling back in the well. Upward the buzzards flew with their human freight, and the fox hunter began to despair of his life after all When about one hundred

CHAS. A. CABRERA, 3a Hawley Street,
 Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, last resort, 1 induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle I took lease of life, and I can honestly say to-day that one spoonful of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than 8 gallon of any other known remedy. 4 bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first synpto n of d ct-.;5 $. of cold I Iy to 1t for the relief it never fails to gire7'
 DIR. FLOWERS LUNG C0R- DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ, of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. 1t stands without rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHuA and CON- SUMPTION.

| turned to St. Paul day or two ago from the Pacific coast, tells of rather remarkable ac-
 cident which occurred near Palouse Junc- tion. As the train, westbound, was passing | Washtuena Lake 8 coyote started across the ! ice. A MT. Mauritz, who sat beside Mir. | Davis in the car, saw the animal. He dre W his revolver, a 45-calibre Colts, and fired at 1 the beast. The ball struck the ice and glanced fully half mile, striking a China man working on section in the left should CT and inficting a serious wound. The l unfortunate Celestial was taken aboard the train and sent to Walla Walla for treatment. Mir. Mauritz paid all the expenses consequent upon the accident. MT. Davis, on his re- turn trip inquired the condition of the Chi naman, whose name he learned was "Who. " He was informed the wound was not danger ous. The ball had entered the left shoulder to the scapula, and then glanced downward four or five inches into the muscles, where it was cut out. The Chinaman took chloro-
 form as meekly as a child, and smiled bland
 ly after the operation was performed.
 The facts given by A. J. Desmond in the
 last number of the North American Review concerning the fast-dwindling public domain are interesting and important. There has been at the disposition of the government
 since it's foundation 1893, 180,3S7 acres.
 From this amount are to be deducted as un-
 available 926, 529, 600 acres, including Alas
 ka, Indian and military reservations and
 mountains and untillable lands. This leaves
 about 300, 900, 900 acres available, of which
 300, 900, 900 have gone to actual settlers and
 private purchasers. The different States
 have received as swamp land and for school
 purposes 161, 100000. For canals, wagon
 roads and military and naval bounties 67,
 GOO, 900 have been transferred. To the rail
 roads have been given 172,O00,0O0. There
 yet remain some 200,000,0O0. It thus ap-
 pears that fve-sevenths of the available pub
 lie domain has been disposed of, and only
 one-third so far is in the hands of actual set
 tiers and individual private purchasers.

German Superstition.

As rule Germans are not gamblers; but they play sometimes, and when they play they like to win, so there are charms that se
 cure their success Here is one of them in rough outline. It is by far the worst and most blasphemous we have ever heard of in central Germany-a distinct piece of witch craft, as it seems to us To the words of the charm, distinctly noted down at the time, we regret that we cannot refer. The receipt without them stands thus: Catch toad on
Morning journal and courier., 1886-02-09

Easter Sunday morning before sunrise, take piece of soft wood-pine, &c., not beech nor oak-a little larger than the toad, and then nail the wretched creature upon it in the form of cross, hang it on an isolated pole toward the sun, thus gradually chang ing its position with the progress of the day; keep sprinkling it every now and then with water, for if it dies before the sets your labor has been in vain. If, when the sun goes down, he is still partially alive it is enough; take him to the nearest ant-hill and bury him in it. On Whit Sunday dig him up. If no one has disturbed the hill you will find the bones quite clean and white; put them in little bag, hang it round your neck, and you will always win in games of chance. This charm is, of course, viola tion of every law of humanity and religion; giving ones self to the devil even more formally than if one signed 8 contract with him in one's own blood. If we could repro duce the words to be used at the different hours it would be seen, imperfect as our ac- count even then would be, what mysteries are caricatured and therefore violated. The man who employs such means simply says, II shut myself out of the fold of Chist; all I want is to win at cards" The charm was preserved by an old man who had served in the wars of 1913 and 1915. Another man, 8 comrade of his, whom he had carried wounded off a battlefield, had given him, when on the point of death, his '1ucky bag," and told him how to make a new one The veteran did not know from what district the man he had saved for a day or two had come; his knowledge of the charm itself was evidently inadequate; he protested that he had never tried it; but the bag and the bones were there, a little blue silk bag, worn and frayed, with name worked upon it that looked like Eliza-a girls name who was young some ninety years ago, we may sup pose, and who put ring, or perhaps a few bag, and gave it to her lover before he went away.

CONGRESSMAN sENEY,s BILL.

CONGRESSMAN SENEY,S BILL. The Lowell bill providing for g national
 bankrupt act has the hearty approval of very many of those best qualified to judge what such bill should be. Another scheme which is causing some discussion is that pro- posed by Judge Seney, member of Congress from Ohio. It differs radically from the Lowell bill. It allows the debtor to sur render his property and receive his discharge in the federal courts, and remits the admin istration of his affairs to the State tribunals to be conducted in the ordinary manner of settling estates. It is urged in favor of this method that it would be much more econom- ical and, bringing the administration of the bankrupt's estate close to his home and near where the property is situated, would result in larger dividends and greater satisfaction to debtor and creditor alike. The objection to the proposed plan is that system of bank ruptcy could not be called Uniform" when the method of settlement depends on the varying laws of the several States Judge Seney would have the affairs of the bankrupt settled like those of the deceased debtor, but each State has it's own laws on this subject, and in most States there is discrimination against nonresident creditors and in favor of those living in the State. This discrimina- tion would probably be carried to extremes in case the matter were left to local courts
 and legislatures, and such system would
 lack the essential element of uniformity.
 which a national bankrupt law must pos
 sess.
 This country has long needed national
 bankrupt law, and such law as would not
 be temptation to fraud. The English bank
 rupt act has been recently amended with the
 intent to discourage fraud, and under its
 provisions insolvents guilty of fraud are se-
 verely punished. The French law goes fur
 ther, and provides even that a debtor whose
 failure was the result of misfortune and
 whose dealings were strictly honest, must
 nevertheless continue under certain civil dis
 abilities until his debts are paid in full Se-
 were penalties are provided for false pretenses
 and breach of trust.

Sheridanss First Wife.

From the GentlemanS MaSaZlneI
 Nothing, indeed, so exhibits the spell and charm of this fascinating creature as the all most rapturous terms in which the various friends and acquaintances speak of her. A bishop, Dr. O'Beirne of Meath, declared with unepiscopal rapture that she was ''tha link between an angel and woman" It was impossible to do justice to her exquisite
 nature. Dr. Burney's tongue seems to grow wanton in praise. When speaking of the loss of her gifted brother, Tom Linley, he says: "This amiable and promising youth was drowned at an early aga, to the great aff1ietion of his family, particularly his matchless sister, Mrs. Sheridan, whom this calamity rendered miserable for long time, during which her affection and grief were distilled in verses of a most sweet and af- fecting kind on the sorrowful event. The beauty, talent and mental endowments of this St Cecilia Rediviva will be remembered to the last hour of all who heard or even saw and conversed with her. The tone of her voice snd expressive manner of singing were as enchanting her countenance and cA. versation. In her singing, with meilifu- ous-toned voice, perfect shake and intona- ton, she was possessed of the double power of delighting an audience equally in pathetic strains and songs of brilliant execution, which is allowed to very few singers. When she had seen the Agujari, the Danzi. she as tonished all hearers by performing the Bra
 vura Air. extending the natural compass of her voice above the highest note of the harp sichord before additional keys were in fash ion.n When MT. Wilkes was in Bath in 1772, lodging in the South Parade, he passed an evening with MT. Brereton's family and the Miss Linleys ''The eldest" wrote this strange being, s'I think still superior to all the handsome things have heard of her. She does not seem in the least spoiled by any of the idle talk of our sex, and is the most modest, pleasingly delicate flower have seen for great while. The youngest mere CO., quette-no sentiment" Such was the yer diet of this cool, experienced judge of the
 sex. Indeed, we have only to look at Gains boroughs and Sir Joshua's paintings, both evidently stimulated by love of their sub- iect, to gather an idea of what this spell was. It seemed to work by an irrepressible sweet 1 ness joined with gentle and amiable espie- glerie--a charming combination which some of us have at times encountered in 'life's dull round"
