Editor Morning Nems: / have read
much recently about the efficacy of the
maidstone as al antidote for the severest
cases of poisoning. have also seen sew
eral communications in the columns OF
your paper from parties having these
stones in their pos session, These facts,
combined with the additional fact that II
they POSSESS the 10 edicinal properties as
cribed to them they should be placed
where they would be most easily accessl-
bic to the public, have induced me to
write of two that have been in this neigh
borhOOd for many Years. One, which is in
the possession Of Mr.. N. c. Moore, Hal
cyOndale, Ga, was taken from the paunch
of a deer killed in this (Bulloch) county
some fifty years ago. IL is about IL
inches long, oval shaped and about Is OF
AN inch in diameter.
The other. taken from deer in Bryan
county sixty years ago. belongs to Mrs,
A. ~ Moore, OF this place. 1t is round
and nat, shaped something like a seabeaD,

curlOsitles and relics OF the ''good old
times" when deer were plentiful in ouI
forests. The medicinal properties Of
neither have ever been tested,

Georgia Farms.

The oat crop is about harvested in Ter
rell county.
Strawberry culture is on the increase in
Clay county.
The oat crop is generally satisfactory
throughout Clay county.
In some sections Of Clay county blight
is reported among scuppernong and other
grape vines.
A blight is attacking the peach crop in
the northwestern part OF the State. Thus
far the crop in Clay county is looking
we'll.
There is some talk Of the silk-raising in
dustry becoming a matter of interest and
profit to the people Of Clay and adjoining
counties.
There is an old turkey goboler in Clay
county that sets, matches the eggs and
cares for the young, relieving his spouse
of all care.
Corn is growing rapidly in Dooly
county. There is fine prospect for a po-
tato crop. Cotton choppers are in good
demand. j. p. Heard has 40 acres Offne
cotton. The oat crop has improved by the
rains.
Six planters have 566 acres OF water
melons in Clay county. Rains aud other
untavorable weather have retarded the
growth of the crop to some extent, but
melons VIII soon be ready for shipment,
as many are now as large as a mans
head.
The excessive rains are killing tn Ou-
sands OF acres Of cotton in the Clarke
county section, and grass is taking the
rest. Farmers are respondent over the
| outlook. 1t is said that cotton will ma.
ture up to June 8. Many are replanting
their crops.
Blackshear Georgian: The peach crop
is promising. Seed peas are scarce and
In demand. AS the Oat crop is geneEally
short it would be well to plant. every

oats. We have heard of several farmers
who have lost good portion of theiI
oats after having them cut. By the rains

! Dalton Citizen: the recent rains insure
a good blackberry crop, which, "a insig.
nificant as it may appear, is worth q
great deal to this county. 1t gives EN-
| ployment with very fair compensation to
a great many between the cotton chopping

as other sections do. North Carolina

A Touching Incident.

From the DdtosO1 GA Journal
just as Gen, Gordon was leaving the
speakers stand last Friday afternoon, and
while a crowd pressed around him, all
eagerly wishing for the privilege OF a per-
sonal introduction, the little 6-year-Old
daughter Of Judge Bell, Carolina Gordon,
was presented. Taking the child in his
arms and pressing her to his bosom the
General kissed her several times, aying
in the most ferYid manner, "God bless
the child; may her lille be a happy one,
and may she at last wear a crown
in heaven" AS he turned away from
the child the blue eyes, which in
days gone by glanced and flashed over
illustrious fields where the columns of
blue and gray met 10 conflict, were seen
TO be suffused with tears. A tender chord
had been touched. The name Of the child,
Carolina Gordon, had recalled TO memory
one OF has own children that died IN in
ianey-South Carolina Gordon-which
was named by the people of South Caro-
lima as an expression OF their gratitude
for his services in behalf OF that State.
The incident was indeed touching and
impressive, and will never be forgotten
by those who witnessed it.

BRAGANzA,s MYSTERIES.
Has the Mistress of PortugaPs Her
editary Prince Been Murdered

editary Prince Been Murdered ?
From tho Nsso York World.
PARIS, May 2S.-Marrlages or said to be
made, or at least consecrated, in heaven.
Whether the one which has Just been cele-
brated in Lisbon with such pomp and Cit
cumstance belongs to that category is an
open question. five are to believe tho
reports published in the Lisbon papers
and the runners that are current in the
Portuguese capital, the Duke Of Bra
ganza's union with the Princess Amehe
has nOtTbeen as yet productive OF the joy
that should have followed that interest
ing event. Princess Amelie has not, il is
said, been received very cordially by the
Queen mother. Maria PA, who does not
trouble herself to conceal her luminosity
towards her new daughter-in-law. Phe
reason of her animosity is not said, though
it may be that the rumor thatkipg Louis
is soon to abdicate in favor of the Duke of
Braganza has some truth in it, and that
consequently the Queen has a PRESENT..
ment that her own reign may not be OF
long duration. The Kings ofdor tugal do
not care as a rule to burden their declin-
ing years with the affairs OF State. King
Ferdinand was doubtless much happier
when he dwelt at, the Chateau de la
PenKa with the Countess d. Edla, eX-prima
dOnnalOf the Theatre Saint Jean, at 0porto
! than he had ever been before, and King
Louis may possibly have inchnations in
the same direction.
Such tendencies run in the Portu gese
royal family, as is shown by the mystic
LTiouS events that have followed the Bra
ganza wedding, and which the Lisbon
| gOssips say have cast dark veil over the
| beginning of the welded life Of, the Prin-
I cess Amelie. RumOr says that the young
! Dukes former mistress has been pOis-
Oned, and that the two children which
she had borne to her royal lover died of au
unknown disease on the day follow
Hug the death OF the mother. Be
! sides this, the father of the un-
! Fortunate woman, GARDENER at the
| Chateau de la Pe0ka, became in
| sane seeing the dead bodies OF the three,
and is now confined in an insane asylum
at Lisbon. 1t certainly is not TO the
credit of the young prince if the rumors
turn out to be foundedOn facts. He might
at least have followed the example of sc
many Of bis royal cousins and brothers oi
