REDEMPTION OF MUTLATED
LEGALTENDERNOTES

Advices from Washington, OF July
18th. say; The United States Treas
urer has ordered that in future the re-
demption Of legal tender notes by the
Treasury Department shall be made
on the basis OF the three-ffths rule in
vogue in the redemption Of national
bank notes. Heretofore the former
were redeemed on the basis Of the
tenth; that is, mutilated note was
redeemed at a value proportionate TO
the part presented, counting in tenths.
Under The three-fifths rule, if that
part of note is presented it is re-
deemed at its full face value, but if
less than three-ffths is handed in
nothing is paid, unless an affidavit is
filed, together with evidence to sup
port veracity, that the missing portion
Of the note has been destroyed. Thus,
under this rule, the person presenting
the note gets all or nothing, instead Of
a proportionate number Of tenths Of
the full value.

CLOSE C4LCULATICN.

There is an old gentleman in For
syth county who is very fond of hunt
ing. Whenever he walks abroad his
rifle always bears him company. Re
Gently he went out TO drive the cows.
During the walk he discovered five
squirrels up one tree, and also discov-
cred that he had lost all his bullets
but one. He sat down, drew out his
pencil and day book and carefully
surveying the distance up to the first
squirrel, began: II six grains of pow
der viii move a bullet three inches,
how many grains will it take to carry
it up to the squirrel, a distance of
about thirty feet? made his calcula-
ton; put III the required amount of
powder, just enough to kill the squir-
rel, and for the bullet not to pass
through. He banged away, and down
came bushy tail. He took his knife
out, cut out the ball, loaded up again,
and fred until he killed the FIVE squir-
rels with one bullet and loaded with
it the sixth time.-,Savcnnah Ne,cs.

THE SABINE MASSACRE.
DUsoE, La, July "a, 1889.

Editor AGgertiser: Dcqr Sir: am
sure Il will interest your many readers
to know something Of the early histo-
ry OF some Of your valuable CORES
pondents. Little Hatchet and myself
were raised in the same neighborhood,
not far from the great State of Texas,
at a day when the Bowie knife and
six-shooter were freely used on all oc-
casions. Living near the line, and
hearing of so many daring deeds Of
bravery, Little Hatchet and myself
held a consultation, and decided to
buy each one a large navy-six and
cross the line, and raise fuss, and
scare some one nearly to death. We
reached the bank Of the Sabine river
opposite Orange and halloed for the
ferryman, who crossed US over into
the town of Orange. We decided to
charge the first man we met, which we
did. [ drew my six-shooter, gave a
whoop and run at the fellow, who
took to the woods at once. You could
have played cards on his coat tail.
Going a little farther | saw some eight
or ten men at saloon. | marched up
to said saloon, drew my pistol, rushed
up to a large, rough-looking fellow
and gave whoop! But he did not
run worth anything. He drew large
whip and fell aboard of me. | ran
up one street and down another to get
away from him, he still cutting my
coat ali to pieces with said whip. FL
nally | saw a chance and crawied un-
der store and got away from said
Texan. While | lay under the store
my man was standing in front in the
street paving the dust and believing;
which conduct, and the large words of
cursing he used, made me ashamed of
him for his poor,mother's sake. When
he found that ! would not come out,
he went away to get something to
drink; then | skipped out. When l
reached the river | saw Little Hatchet
most back across and swimming for
life, while fellow stood on the Texas
shore shaking whip at him. l fol-
lowed Little Hatchet's suit without
any unnecessary delay. and want to
hear no more about Texas. After
wards | learned that the first man we
tackled in Texas was from Louisiana.
Respectfully, OBERoN.

Some time ago Mr.. Flowinbole of
one of Atlanta's suburbs, who was in
the habit of gazing too intently at the
wine. when it. giveth its color in The
cup, was sharply checked up by his
church and threatened with dismissal.
He was indignant and went to Mr..
Trewblu, amember of another church,
and told all his troubles. II can take
a social glass;" said he. without being
hauled up before the church about it.

HE RESIGNED.


A Washington special to the C5ica-
90 Times, July lst, says: To-day
President Harrison received the res
ignation Of the postmaster at Mount
Carmel, Illinois. It is as follows:
To THE Hon. Z. HARRISON, Pres
IDENr, ETC.-S;r: BY the grace of
God and Grover Cleveland I an post
master at Mount Carmel. Ny official
term will expire January 20th, 1890.
In addition to editing the mails Of the
city | am also the editor Of the Mount
Carmel Register, live, local Demo
cratic newspaper established in 1899,
and published at &425 a year, cash in
advance; discount Of 20 per cent. to
ministers and presidents.
While the Office has agreed with
me, and | have in the main with the
Office, and while | might reasonably
entertain the hope Of holding on for
eight months longer, yet | feel it my
duty to tender my resignation. Being
a Democrat | have preached that 'to
the victors belong the spoils." | feel
disposed to practice that which /
preach.
Your Immediate predecessor hoped
to build up his party by keeping the
opposition in Office. You are proba-
bly, aware, if you are at all familiar
with the vocabulary Of true and trite
saying, that his name is now Dennis.
| am moved further to tender you
my resignation because of the anxiety
of barnyard full OF patriots to sue
ceed me. | believe that a tariff is
tax. They do not. Therefore they
are Of your own kith and dindred, and
he who provides not for his own house
hold is worse than an infdel. | am
told that you are not built that way.
But to resume the thread Of my dis
course: The boys who are anxious to
be my successors are very hungry;
they have been feeding on shucks and
icicles for four long, weary years; the
official calf is fat, and they yearn to
taste its tender joints. They fought
(among themselvesl, they bled Cat the
nose), and are willing to die for the G.
o. p. When | asserted that you were
the Chinamen's candidate and ate rat
tail soup with chop-sticks, they swore
by Dudley and Foster that it was a
campaign canard, and threatened to
detail blocks of five to fry the fat out
of me. Fortunately for me this threat
was never carried into execution.
They carried torches, drank with
the coons, and sang "Grandpa's hat
will just fit Benny" and did divers and
many foolish things, none of which
would they have been guilty Of doing
had they not scented an aroma aof post
master on the crisp morning air. And
The peans of praise which they sound
ed when it became evident that you
chad got there Ell" will never be a
Sahara in my memory.
For these, and other reasons unne-
cessary to mention, | tender my resig-
nation, with the hope that my success
sor will be animated by a similar
spirit in 1898. IF he is, your Demo-
cratic successor will be spared the
painful necessity of turning the ras-
cal out" | am respectfully yours,
FRANK w. HAvILL, P. NJ.
N. B.-I would rather be right
than be postmaster.

The following is a remarkable oc

The following is a remarkable oc-
currence, if true. The Philadelphia
Engairer publishes dispatch from
York, Pa, asfollows
! August Melching was drowned on
Monday afternoon in the Codoros
creek while bathing. His body could
not be found for some time, when one.
of the searchers suggested that his
shirt be thrown into the water, claim
ing that it would float to where the
body was. The suggestion was acted
on, and the garment thrown into the
water where it was thought that he
had disappeared. 1t instantly shot out
and stopped, circled about a short
time, and in another moment disap-.
peared under the water. A young
man present on the creeks bank then
dove to where the shirt was seen to.
sink and found the body of the young
man where the shirt disappeared. The
singularity Of the incident consists in
the fact that the shirt was found "
ing TO the dead mans body. Two
gentlemen who were on opposite sides
of the creek at the time this occurred
corroborate the truthfulness of the in.
eident. This gives credence to the
ancient idea that the clothing of a
drowned man when thrown into the
water will float to the body.

Without an accident the corn GRO

Without an accident the corn crop
of Lincoln parish this year will be am
pie to supply the local demand with
out going abroad for it, as has been
the case this year. There is yet
great deal of old corn in the parish,
but it will hardly be sold this season.
We have heard complaint from some,
those who have large quantity of
corn on hand, that weevils are damag-
ing it very much, and in some cases
the corn is being eaten, literally
up. The weevil is the great enemy Of
the corn raiser in this country, and the
farmers ought to put on their studying
cap and invent some scheme to pre-
vent the ravages of the pest.-Ruston
