muskess ana Bayonets in a Tree.

One night, long since, II. I. Huff, g
well known coal dealer of Atlanta, while
cutting down bee tree on his farm, five
miles from Atlanta, on the SandtOwn
road, made a strange discovery. The
bees were in a hollow tree, and Felix
jackson (coloredD was put to work with
an ak to hew it down. ''Lawd mercy,
exclaimed the negro, as he dropped his
AK and peered into the opening he had
made by the light of a torch. The negro
had discovered an arsenal whose nipple
ments of war were like the gun of Rip
Van Wrinkle after his sleep of twenty
years. In the hollow tree were eightold
army muskets and two bayonets, which
had been stored away by soldiers twenty
five years ago. The stocks of the guns
had nearly rotted away and the barrels
were rusted. The tree had grown about
one of the bayonets and made it iRmova-
