Shooting Birds with sawdust.

From tie AInsyic,ts tGal Recorder.
Ben Wheeler, the first white baby born
in Sumter county, has, until yesterday,
not enjoyed the pleasures of hunting for
nineteen years, and alter his yesterdays
experience ne will probably not 20 for
nineteen more. He and Judge PilbUry
arranged to 20 out for an all-day hunt.
DIR. Hawkins wagered four dollars with
him that he wouldn't kill a bird in the
whole hunt. Ben went to Bugg Chap
man and had his shells loaded up and
borrowed gun.
The first shot he got was at a robin
thirty feet OFF. He took careful aim and
pulled away. TIE bird few.
"By George. that's close, Ben," said
Judge Pilsbury. 81 saw the feathers

All day long Ben shot close, but no
game dropped, the Judge encOuraalny
him at each shot. Meanwhile the Judge
was dropping them right and left.
Ben got nervous, and examined his gun
then his cartridges, but everything SEEM
ed all right. The Judge began TO tease
him about his poor shooting.
why, Ben, YOU can't hat my hat at ten
feet" SAID the judge.
"Now. look here" said Ben, "that's too
much. Pve got one cartridge lett, aud II
you put IL out there PHI tear II up for
you,"
The Judge agreed to it. and laid it on a
stump. Ben stood off about 10 feet and
took careful aim. Bang, went the gun,
and still there was the hat without sign
of a hole.

Chapman, "and was careful 10 put 10 q

ANOTHER MURDER.
An Unknown Man Found Brutality Beat
en- and Almost Dead at Fort Reed.

en- and Almost Dead at Fort Reed.
From tbs Sanford tFIa.) Argus.
Thursday morning. as Section Master
Terry was on his way to work with his
gang of men, groans were heard issuing
from point near where the public road
crosses the railroad near Fort Reed, where
two men had been noticed in camp Tues
day evening. At first the groans were
thought to be from some domestic animal
in distress, but an investigation revealed
an entirely fferent state of affairs.
There, at the place where all the sur
roundings indicated the camp referred to,
they found man lying with his mead in
hole in the ground and almost covered
with water.
His head had been placed in the hole,
and grass ana weeds wedged around it to
keep it down, evidently to make sure Of
his death. The men Immediately eXtri-
Gated him and found that the poor fellow
had been almost murdered and left to die
or drown. DR.. d. j. MacRse, of this city,
was Immediately summoned and had the
unfortunate fellow removed to a house
near by, where he made an external ex-
animation. He found that the mun had
been dealt several heavy blows on the top
and right side of his head with some blunt
instrument, and also found cut two or
three inches long over the right ear, but
no apparent fracture of the skull.
The victims pulse was not perceptible,
and his breathing was very light, show
ing that life was almost extinct. In the
evening, hOwever,he rallied, and the ply
stefan thought he m ght pOssibl y recover,
but be fingered until YESTERDAY friday
morning at about O'Clock, when ne died.
He did not regain his speech at any time,
and as nothing could BE- found on his
person to identity him. he died q stran-
ger.
judging from his appearance, he was
German, and the general suppositIon is
that he came To his death at the hands of
his camp partner. There IS no clue as to
who committed the murder.

A Queer Historical Disease.

According to the medical man who
writes in the British Chinese Consular
reports, near Changehow, there is
form of hysterical disease or mania
among adult males. The patient &C.
quires the impression that his abdomen
is inhabited by some animal, often
rat, whose excursions cause violent To-
cal pains. Unheard-Of efforts are made
to expel the intruder, and often the saw
ings of a whole family for lifetime
are wasted on BONES, sorcerers, doctors
and other quacks in hope of obtaining
relief for the sufferer. 1t is reported
that in many cases death occurs from
suffocation in the course of violent
convulsive paroxism. The patient leads
a double life, marked by the use of two
voices of different timbres. As a rule
his disposition alters in correspondence
with the change of voice. Morally and
mentally he is different being in the
two states. Whatever occurs during
the period betokened by the unnatural
voice is totally forgotten during the nor
mRl period. IN Y. Post.

THE DEVIL.

Men don't believe in devil now, as their faith
crs used to do;
They've forced the door of the broadcst creed
to let his majesty through;
There isn't print of the cloven foot, or q fiery
dart from his bow
To be found on earth air to-day, for the world
has voted it so.
But who is mixing the fatal draught that pal
sizes heart and brain,
And loads the earth of each passing year with
ten hundred thousand slain?
Who blights the bloom of the land to-day with
the fiery breath of hell,
If the devil isn't and never was? Won't some
body rise and tell?
Who dogs the steps Of the toiling saint, and
digs the pits for his feet?
Who sows the tares in the field of Time whcr-
ever God sows his wheat?
The devil is voted pot to be, and of course the
thing is true;
But who should do the kind of work the devil
alone should do?
We are told he does not go about as a roaring
lion now
But whom shall VIC hold responsible for tn
everlasting row
To be heard in home, in Church, in State. to
the earths remotest bound,
II the devil, by n unanimous vote, is nowhere
to be found?
Won't somebody step 10 the front forthwith,
and make his bow and show
How the frauds and the crimes of the DAY
spring up, for surely we want to know,
The devil vas fairly voted out, and of course
the devil is gone;
But simple people would like to know who car
res his business on.
