From the Pearlsburg Virgni0n.
| am reader of the Virginan, and read an
account in your last issue Of man that had
his ear cut off in fight and carried it in his
vest pocket, which brought to mind n crcum-
stance that took place in 1864, during the late
war. We were camped at Cleveland, Teines-
see, when Captain Woody, United States
volunteer, was sent in charge of Il squad of
men to Georgia, twelve miles east of Sgring,
at which place he came in contact with four
confederate soldiers, capturing one, the other
three making their escape. After having dis
armed the poor man he cut one of his ears off
and then amused himself by shooting the man
several times in the face. After he was dead
he dragged him into the woods and there left
his remains. Mounting his horse he returned
to camp to boast over the cruel murder he had
done, carrying the ear in a letter Of mine that
| had sent by him TO u friend When he ar
rived at camp, before dismounting, he handed
me letter, saying: "Here is an answer to
your letter." and to my great surprise it was
my letter with the ear OF the murdered man
in It.
L saw many men killed and wounded during
the war and was wounded myself but, taking
the dead mans ear In my hand with a purple
color and the dry blood on 1t, gave me the
most powerful shock of all my experiences
during the war While Woody was Sitting on
his horse in front OF me, boaSting over the vic
tory he had gained and a large crowd of sol
diers had gathered around him, / gave him
back tho dead mans ear, remarking to him:
"that he would die horrible death for the
crime he had committed, and that God would
shorten his days" In a short time from the
date Of this incident his health declined and
he was discharged fran the army and went to
his home in Polk county, Tenn. Afterward
was shot and badly wounded by party un-
known, and before he recovered, he was taken
with consumption and lived about ten months.
He died unprcpared to meet his God. What
have said in relation to tho car and tho dead
cannot injure the dead, when the truth is told,
which 1 have done. There is party living In
this county to whom these facts are known.

CIInging to tho Last.

The virus of rheumatism often remainsi in the
system through life, when it does not cut the
thread Of existence suddenly, as it is always
liable TO do by attacking the heart. Ere the
grip of this tenacious disease tighens, il should
be unloosed by that benefcent liberator from
disease, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
will free the sufferer at the outset from suisse
quent pain and danger. No purer or more
agreeable blood depurent exists, as multtudes
of the rheumatic and neuralgia have ascer-
tanned by certified experience. 1t is through
the medium Of a regular action Of the kidneys
and bladder that an outlet is afforded for the
escape Of impurities which beget not only rheu-
matte, but equity ailments, and dropsical effu-
sions. To these organs tho Bitters gives an
impulsive, never yerging ON the bounds Of irri-
tation, but sufficiently vigorous to cause them
and the bowels to perform their functions with
biliousness, fever and ague and debility.

JIM BOWIE AND HIS KNIFE.
How He Came to Invent the Famous In
strument-His Duel.


From American Notes and Queries
The bowie-knife was the invention of Colo
mel James Bowie, famous frontersman, who
was born in Logan county, KY, in 1896. In
1914 he settled on a small piece of land, where
he lived by numbering, fishing and hunting,
soon afterwards made considerable money
by specializing in negroes and in real estate,
removed to Texas and married the daughter of
Ex-Governor Berrymenda. In 1S29-30
he engaged actively in the rev.
olution in that country, and closed
his career in the bloody battle of the Alamo.
His knife is said to have been invented while
he was confined to his bed in the city Of
Natchez from the effects of wound received
in border fray. lie was a man of much me-
chanical ingenuity, and Whitfield from piece
OF white pine the model of hunting knife,
which he sent to two brothers named Black
man in the city of Natchez and told them to
spare no expense i'll making q duplicate of it
in steel. This was the origin Of the dreaded
bowie knife 1t was made from large saw
mill file and its temper aftorward improved
upon by the Arkansas blacksmith 1t is said
by Duland in his History of the Philadelphia
Stage" that the knife which Edwin Forrest
used in "Metamora' was the original bowie
knife and he tells this story about it:
Very many years ago Bowie owned plan
tation at Bayou Terrebonne. A Spanish
neighbor constantly annoyed the colonel with
petty insults, until AT last his conduct became
so unbearable that Bowie challenged the
named knives as the weapons to be used, and
also stipulated that the combatants were to be
seated vis-a-vis astride of trestle as on a
horse, the four legs of the trestle to DO buried
about foot in the earth, so that it could not
by any possibility DO overturned, Each OF the
principals was permitted to use in the duel
whatever kind of knife he might select. Bowie
had short knife, with q broad blade,
sharp at the point, and with razors
edge made for himself When the combatants
met ON the ground named Bowie's knife ex-
cited the ridicule Of his adversary. The re-
suit, however, proved the superiority of the
chase used by his antagonist. The men took
their seats on the trestle, both naked to the
waist At the agreed upon signal the Spaniard
drew back his hand, armed with the long
knife, to make a lunge. Bowie however,
thrust his knife straight forward into the body
of his enemy and then drawing it quickly
across, disemboweed the Spaniard in the
twinkling of an eye. Bowie presented the
knife he used in the duel to Edwin Forrest
during visit the great tragedian made to tie
colonel at his plantation.

NE BLAINE MOYEMENT.

AS TO Blaine there is nothing new
to say further than that everything

TUITION is as familiar with this feature OF the
convention as If he were on the ground. 1t
stands today just where it stood yesterday;
even more So Chaunccy NJ. Depew and War
ner Miller, of New York, arrived last evening.
Mr.. Depow declines TO state whether lie win
be candidate or not, and appears to DO labor
ing under an unusual attack Of solemnity.
Warner Milleri Is equally unapproachable, and
evidently is in perfect accord in the opinion
that it was time enough 70 talk after the Now
York delegation has been called together and
the views Of the delegates upon the presden-
tial outlook has been obtained. The two New
York leaders had prolonged consultation
with Thomas G. Platt in the room Of tho lat
ter gentleman, but the wisdom there displayed
was not divulged, all parties declining TO an
nounce any opinion upon the present
complication OF affairs until the
delegation had been called together,
prominent New York delegate, however,
stated with The mien Of ono having authority:
"Dcpew will be a candidate, and he viii

Clarksville evening chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn) 1886-1890, 1888-12-05

Most OF the hot winds Of the Old
World are modified forms of the
simeon. The sirocco originates In the
Sahara and travels nex-Iward 10 the
Mediterranean and sos$serl Europe,
but it is not so deadly as its prototype.
1t brings with it great quantities of
the desert sand, and the air becomes
so dense at times that the sun is OBJ
scured as if by a London fog. While
it remains on the African mainland it
is characterized by a very marked dry
ness, as there are no extensive water
susfaces to supply it with moisture
AS soon, however, as it is launched
over the Mediterranean it begins to
take up copious draughts, so that when
it reaches Malta, Sicily, and the south
ern shores Of Europe as wind from
between southeast and southwest, it
has undergone change from a hot,
dry wind to hot, damp wind. The
result of this alteration is that it be-
comes most cEervating to the human
constitution. Indeed, while it pre-
walls, from one to several days at q
time, life is scarcely worth living, SO
depressing and burdensome is the
wind. 1t is the plumbeus Auster of
Horace. Human energy isquite dissi-
pated under its fatiguing influence,
and with temperature ranging be-
tween 95 and 10 dogs. the streets
Of the towns affected by it are de-
serted.
To the Sicilians the oppressive wind
is perfect plague, for, although nat
urally indolent, they cannot stand the
further loss of energy induced by it.
During its prevalence iron rusts,
cloths spoil with mildew, meat turns
putrid, grapes and green leaves wither,
wine will not fine and paint will not
dry. Sicily experiences the sirocco
about a dozen times year, but it is
not SO frequently met with in other
parts Of Europe. There is no mistak-
ing the origin of the wind, as the red
dish sand is still present when it ar
rives on the northern shores of the
Mediterranean and causes misty at
mosphere. In Turkey the sirocco is
known as the Samuel, or Sumyel, a
name identical in meaning with 81
moon. 1t is supposed to have some
connection with cattle disease in the
south OF Russia. On the Spanish Med
iterranean coast the wind draws more
to the coast, and is known locally as
the solano, damp wind, sometimes
accompanied by rain, causing fever
ishness, dizziness and restlessness, and
people are SO done up" under its de-
biitating influence that we must TASK
no favor during tho solano." Accord
ing to the Spaniards only pig and
an Englishman are insensible to this
wretched breeze. -Cornhill Magazine.

The Fra of Discovery.

The announcement that a commission
of savants will shortly set out for Mount
Ararat, or the elevation in Western
Asia designated by that name. recalls the
alleged attempt some years ago to re-
cover from the bed of the Red sea- at the
point where the children of Israel were
supposed to have crossed, some relic of
the lost hosts Of Pharaoh.
1t would seem that new era ia about
opening in the matter of exploration ard
discovery. A Danish expedition will
shortly start to explore the interior of
Greenland; Mexican party is preparing
to invade the undiscovered interior Of
Yucatan; the sources of the Amazon are
being penetrated, while the Russians are
pushing their discoveries in Northern ST.
IBERIA and their possessions within the Arc
tic circle. Stanley is in the heart of Africa,
and while waiting to hear from him the
world listens to the story of the won
drous discoveries in the planetary world
by the aid of the superb Lick telescope.
Taken all in all, the indications are that
before the dawn of the year 1900 many

War RuInnrs.

LONDON, Dec 5-The Standards cor
respondent at Rome says: "The French
government has secretly advised the pope
TO leave Italy in the event OF a rupture
between France and Italy, and has offered
all possible assistance In case he decides to
go to France. The Tribuna hears that the
pope has charged Mr.. Galimberti to visit
the duke Of Lichtenstein and thank him for
his generous offers. 1t says that his holiness
has no present intention of leaving Rome,
bpt that if Italy became involved in war
hePwoud willingly take refuge at Vaduz"
No news received OF late more decidedly
confirms the fact that there Is general ex-
pectation OF war in Europe among the dip.
donates. That Italy expects to be bellig-
erent is further evidenced by the fact that
important Notifications are being erected in
Savoy outside of the neutralized zone of the
Franco I5alan frontier, the very strictest
secrecy being observed.
The Berlin journals are vigorously pro.
testing against the Germans taking any
Of the Russian loan, declaring that con-
version is only a cloak to cover up the
aggressive aims OF Russia and the rumor is
current that the government will ask the
Reichstag to vote from 10000, 900 to 80, OO0-
900 marks for the equipment of field artil-
lery.

london by the Sea-"

People compare Brighton, England,
with Long Branch and other Ameri.
can seaside resorts, but London by
the Sea, " as Brighton is called in Eng
land, can only be compared unto itself.
Long Branch is village and is built
of wood; Brighton has steady popu-
lation of 1875, 900, and all of its build
ings arc Of brick and stone 1t is fifty
one miles from London and is reached
in ninety minutes by rail. It has large
hotels OF the first class, one Of thenn
ten stories high the streets ore lined
with attractive shops and the resi-
dences are very fine. The walk along
the main thoroughfare for miles over
looking the sea is made beautiful with
grass plots and flower beds, and the
roads for driving are excellent, but if
you go to Brighton for surf bathing
you will be disappointed, for there is
little or no surf, and the beach is
stony, miserably dirty and very com
mon looking, much of the space being
occupied with small sail boats offered
for hire by make believe sailors, the
rest of the ground Gt cannot be called
sands) being occupied by bathing
boxes, oyster peddlers, penny boot
blacks, big boys on small donkeys,
and mountebanl:s who mount stills
for few coppers. Tho ocean proper
does rot come into Brighton: it is on
tho English channel, opposite the
coast of France.
But people Go not go to Brighton to
battle, and fashion does not 90 there
ct all till the autumn. In tho sum-
mer it is favored during the week with
tho patronage CT London tradesmen's
families; onSaturday afternoons, Sun

Of tho occupants of tho vehicles they
