Patten's l'et TurtIA

In the Town of Patten, Me-, a
| place distant from tidewater over
ninety miles, there is a great curl
Osity, known as the s'turtle's nest
For fifty-two years a turtle has come
annually to the nest to deposit her
| eggs. Over half a century ago she
selected her nest, then in open field,
but now in q yard in front OF a resi-
dence. A relative of the owner of
the house branded the date I84l upon
the turtles back, and it can be
plainly traced now. She comes about
the same date each year, and her first
few days are passed In inspecting the
ancient nest, the yard and surround
ings.
Later she digs a hole In the ground
and there deposits her eggs. This
year she left forty-two eggs, but, as
many were carried away and the 9TH
ers often disturbed, only about a
dozen of the eggs Matched out. The
owner Of the house has ten of the
little turtles, none more than twice
the size Of a postage stamp. The
old turtle always departs after laying
the eggs; the warm sand and sun
serve as an incubator.
This turtle has been e at the
Drew Dead Water on the Mattawam-
keag River, fully fifty miles away
from the nest. Her weight varies
from thirty to thirty-five pounds, and
it Is said she was as large when
branded Is she Is now. Each June
she comes to Patten, and is always
welcomed by old and young.-New
York Times.

n-sssdAsu.As q Texas.

The time has been when q criminal
felt himself to be safe and among
friends as as he stepped over the
State boundary OF Texas. Not 80
now, for in many counties the auth.
critics keep one or more packs OF
blOOdhOunds to hunt down murdcrers,
horse thieves, and the worst Offend
ers against public morals. Travis
County, for instance, has four OF
these animals. They have been set
on the trail OF fugitiyes, and never
have failed to bring their human VIC
Tins to bay. The use Of the dogs has
made the county q quiet place to live
In. Texas, thanks to Gov. Hogs
fearless administration, now bids fair
to become as ordcrlyas Rhode Island.
Recently, when a miscarriage OF JUS
tice threatened in the case OF a man.
killer on trial for shooting an un-
armed editor in cold blood, the Gov
ernor said, with his characteristic
energy: 'sThere is $1,000, 900 lying
idle in the Treasury OF Texas, and l
intend to see that the laws OF this
State are enforced il / have to spend
every dollar OF it," The Governor
showed that nc was in earnest by tele-
graphing the Judge to stop proceed
ings until an able prosecuting officer
could be sent down. On another
occasion, when a mob had hanged 4
negro, Gov. HOgg offered a reward OF
u, 900 for the arrest Of every man
who had been concerned in the affair.
There has not been a lynching in
Texas since. The Governor also wars
on the practice of carrying concealed
weapons. And yet no longcrago than
1868 there were TAI murders In Texas

This title was first applied to Has
san Ben Sabbal, who found q formid-
able dynasty in Syria, A. d. 1890. He
was the prince, or chief, OF a sect OF
the Mohammedans. Having been
banished from his country, he took up
his abode In Mount Lebanon, gathered
around him q band Of followers, who
soon became the terror alike OF Christ
ians, Jews and Turks. They paid the
most implicit obedience to his COM
mands, and believed that IL they sac
ri1ced their lives for his sake they
would be rewarded with the highest
joys OF paradise. For 200 years these
"Assassins," as they called them
selves, continued to be the terror Of

sidercd himself injured, he dispatched
some Of his ~assassins secretly to muir.

"~Aadsgascar."

He a big brown dog, the pet OF
the regiment. Col. R, his mas
ter, had brought him from NADIA
gascar, hence his name. When he
first joined the company he was de-
voted exclusively to his owner, but in
the course OF three mouths he had
become everybody's dog; and with
good reason, for all the men made
much Of him.
When we were at Fair Oaks, Va,
Madagascar first began to do picket
duty. There was one outpost where
he always spent the night, no matter
what soldier might be on duty there.
The various sentinels tried vainly to
to coax him to other places; he never
went.
1t gave q fellow . very pleasant
sensation to have that big brown
dog curled up asleep near him. NADIA
gascar would hear the slightest sound.
II Q Leaf OF twig rustled he was on the
alert, and would start on to investi-
gate. II he found everything quiet
he would return, lie down and 60 to
sleep again. But II it was an enemy
or 3 stranger he would growl and
stand guard until the sentry spoke to
him.
One morning In winter, just before
dawn, Madagascar suddenly rose and
tr0tted on to q line OF oaks. He
gr0wled, and the next moment there
was . smothered exclamation in q
hoarse voice. There followed . burst

and 9 shower Of bullets whistled b.

TRIBUTE or RESPECT.

AC"ORTH, IA, Aug, 9th, 1891.
The Survivors Association of the 18th Georpia
Regiment, Confederate Veterans, held their an
nual reunion at Acworth, this day. The commit
tee appointed at previous meeting to draft suta.
BILE resolutions on the death of Captain J. p
O'Neill, offered the following report:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty God TO re-
move from our midst our beloved friend and broth
er, CaptT. B. O'Neill. of Company A., 18th Geor-
day of May, 1890, at the home of his daughter
Mrs. H. D. McCutcheon, in the slxty-ninth wear
of his age, leaving nine children to mourn his
death. His friends were numbered by the thous-
ands. He was brave soldier, a true friend a
loving father snd devoted husband; he would
make any sacrifice or take desperate risks
for his friends; he was kind and tender as wo-
man, but when aroused, he would certainly resent
an insult. Capt. O'Neill was severely wounded
while leading his company in the second battle of
Manassas, which made him a cripple to his death
Be it therefore resolved, That we commend his
byalty to his country, his friends and his family
as worthy of our imitation.
Be it further resolved, That in the death of
Capt. O'Neill, we have lost one of our nobest
comrades, the county one of her best citizens, the
community one of her most generous friends and
the family the very best of fathers.
Be it further resolved, That we tender the be-
reayed ones our most heartfelt sympathy in their
bereavement, and that these words of coincidence
and respect be placed upon a proper record and
copy be furnished the family of the deceased
and that they be published in the MARIETTI
