A TESTIMONIAL FOR MIR TIERNEY.
A PRINTER WITH PLUCK.

Irving H. Reyes, a Tourist Compost
 tor, Becomes an Editor.
 A little less than five years ago there came to Waterbury one of the toughest looking tramp printers, as far as clothes 20 to, make up appearances. that ever carried the banner in these parts. He registered at the DEMOCRAT office, stated his case, and the first night slept the sleep of the just under the imposing stone. His ward robe consisted principally of a long rubber coat which covered his nakedness. and a pair of misft shoes with italic heels. He had an honest and intelligent face and unlike the most of his brethren partook but sparingly of the flowing bowl. Reyes, for that was his Dame, went to work with will and for several weeks held cases in this city. When he left to resume his journey he had a new suit of clothes and a railroad ticket for Hartford. A year later Reyes again came into town on his uppers. as the boys say, and once more was braced up and sent on his way rejoicing. Since then nothing had been heard from him until this morning when the following let ter was received at this office:

FINE GEORGIA MARBLE.

lGaxblu <auAxrios That Arc Literally worth
 Moro Than . Gold Ains.
 In Pickins County, Ga, there arc now the most extensive marble Quarries on tho continent, and an industry is being built up surpassing by far in extent and value that of the famous marble quarries of Vermont The story of the development of these quar- ries is romantic one, and it has just been told in an exhaustive account by that en- tertainlng newspaper writer, Amos J. Cum mings. Six years ago H. c. Dement,, . Chi cago clothier, and Frank 6iddall, Phila- delphia soap man, were riding in . car on a- Georgia railroad. Tho former in reading . copy of . newspaper noticed the repeti- ton of the word ''marble," and he gave tho article careful reading. It asserted positively that there was vast vein of the finest marble outcroping at . certain place along Lost Swamp Creek valley. Dement,, who had been raised in Vermont near the marble quarries and who knew their value, called Siddall's attention to tho matter and they agreed to 20 forthwith and examine tho vein. They first found E. F. Howell, famous as the s'wet" editor of the Atlanta Constitution, who went with them and showed them the place where tho marble outcropped. It was on farm which had been bought for song sixty years ago by man named Tate, who was Ov0E800T Ox U PAAuGAtAOU anu WAV AVOu0 UAW marble whlle roaming in the woods, gun in hand. He held the land till his death, and he charged his sons never to sell 1t, no mat ter what happened, declaring that the day would come when 1t would be worth moro than gold mine. When, therefore, Dement, and Siddall tried to buy the land tho ssons absolutely refused, remembering their fathers injunction, but they leased the quarry for . high royalty. Tho two men then formed . big corporation and bought up all theladjoining land. An immense cap. ital has since been invested by them and the quarry developed. The vein of marble has proved to be 1000 feet wide and traced for two miles and half. Nothing but mar ble has been found after boring 135 feet It is a solid mass. with not 8 crack in 1t. A chunk the size of the Washington monu- ment could be sawed from it. Solid tri angles the size of the Egyptian pyramids could be cut from the prodigious mass o1 the purest marble. The marble is of won- derful texture, fine aud strong, and when sawed into slabs an inch in thickness 1t is | fully as translucent as ordinary stained glass. It is of all colors, but there is . pure white marble which is of surpassing beauty and susceptible of exquisite polish. It is l shipped all over the United States, and i,
 fast breaking down the monopoly so long
 enjoyed by the Vermont Quarries. The principal stockholders of the company arl making immense fortunes, and the sons O
 the far-sighted old Georgia man now re l ceive &l 800 monthly royalty.

SWALLOWED A MAN.

Discovery of Huge Serpent with .
 Human Skeleton Inside.
 A strange discovery-one that is causing the thoughtful to ponder over the unwrit- ten past-was made recently by French citizen near Gainesville, Tex, says g special dispatch.
 Having occasion to sink well, Mir. Som. mes, the Frenchman in question, selected g spot in g valley near a ravine of great length, and which, during heavy rains, is transformed into raging torrent, deposit ing in the valley limestone, gravel, mud and other debris.
 After reaching depth of four feet, and while in 8 formation of limestone gravel that had continued almost uninterruptedly from tho surface down, MT. Sommes came upon the vertebre ard ribs of an animal The ribs were about the size of small pigs and rapidly tapered.
 Carefully unearthing the bones toward the tapering end, MT. Sommes came to the rattles, which, when counted, numbered seventeen, the largest measuring six inches across. Attracted by the strange find the neighbors gathered in and the work of un earthing the monster was prosecuted with vigor.
 After laying bare nineteen feet of the re- mains of tho monster of other time, imaR inc their consternation at finding the entire skeleton of man of tremendous stature in the stomach of the skeleton of the snake.
 The remains of the man and the serpent, as far as the serpent has been exhumed, are as perfect as when first denuded o1 flesh, and were doubtless covered by lime and gravel soon after death.
 Near the bones of the mans right hand Is 8 rude stone hatchet, which local geolo. gist of some repute reports to be similar to the handiwork of paleolithic man.
