Some Run0red Deals.

BRISTOL, Tenn, May 26.-ISpcciol =
1t has been rumorcd here for several
weeks that the Norfolk and Western
RAILROAD would lease the South Atlantic
and Ohio. The rumor is prevailing
more strongly to-day than ever The
Norfolk and Western would like to
have connection with tho Louisville
and Nashville by the way of Big Stone
Zap in order to have some other way to
send their through traffic than by the
way OF tho East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia. If this deal. which is
spoken OF, should be made it would
render the East Tennessee Virginia and
Georgia useless from here to Morris
town, except for local traffic.

ings of the house servants-all leaning,
falling or fallen.
Say that stranger is approaching
the quarters (Which in slavery DAYS
meant that long row of negro cabins
far a-ficld in which the field hands

settlement of Giminutivc, dilapidated
houses, patched and proppcd in every
conceivable fashion, and surrounded by
little patches OF turnips, cabbagcs and
potatoes, few fowls and pigs, a host
of gaunt ours piles Of oyster shells,
stacks of fodder, potato banks fenced
in with rails, an occasional peach or
pear tree-all these, with the inhabi-
tants, he would see at a glance and
while approaching.
Not long since the writer, accompa-
MED by photographer and two burly
blacks to carry the camera and pull the
oars, journeyed far into the country,
over water and over land, for the pur-
pose of obtaining a picture of the only
dntt-6cllum stone mill within many miles
of the city that diligcnt inquiry could
locate.
Let us examine it in detail
First, the large square frame over
which the two men are standing sup
ports two heavy circular stones. Their
surfaces arc rough, like coarse sand
paper; the bottom stone is stationary,
the top stone movable. In the center Of
tho lower surface OF the upper stone
therci is Il scoop" like the impression of
cannon ball on the soft earth, chiscled
there to tit loosely over an iron cone
This cone is attached or fits loosely over
the top of IN iron rod, which runs loose
ly through the center of the lower stone,
and on downward through the heavy
wooden crossbar beneath. The iron
rod Is threaded" and "nutted" both
above and beneath the wooden bar,
making it possible to lower or raise the
cone, for purpose which will soon APP
pear The sides of the cone arc grooved
TO facilitate the grinding process. In the
center OF the upper stone there is q
round hole which, after passing half
way through the entire thickness of
the stone, widens into the scoop" be-
tore mentioned, to fit loosely over the

led to the mill, a handful at a time,
inc grain passing through the grooves
IN the sides of the cone, and on between
the two stones, to be ground into grist
or flour, and hush. The two stones are
separated by perhaps the thirty-second
part of an inch of space, the two rough
surfaces almost touching. But this
space may be increased or diminished
by manipulating the nuts already de-
6cribed.

The Charm of the Cuckoo.

The habits and mannerisms of the
cuckoo have been more acutcly OBJ
served than perhaps those Of any other
bird. For thousands of years natural
lists have been trying to understand and
explain its mysterious ways, but have
not fully succeeded There yet remain
many impenctrablc and seemingly new
or to be understood mysteries connect
ed with it. Enough about it has. how
ever, been found out to prove that it is
the bird of the strangcst habits known.
native of this continent can hardly
realize the charm of the notes of tho
cuckoo. From a musical point of view
there is not much in them, but the name
OF the bird is evidently onomatopoetic;
that is, formed from the sounds emit
ted by it, and this name is the same. or
nearly the same, in the languages of all
the countries it frequents.-The CONT
nent.
