Struck by Lightning.

HARrwELL, GA, January S.-The
triple oak, as it is generally known, To-
Gated on Duel island, in the Savannah
river, Was struck by lightning yesterday
and shattered to pieces. The tree is one
with a history.
At the time of the Msy freshet in
1S40, FIVE men were engaged in farming
on this island. They took provisions
with them to do for several days, as they
lived too far off to go back and forth each
day. When the rain began, they had no
idea of danger and made no effort to
leave the island. In short time the
waters had risen to such height that they
could not escape. They went to the
highest part of the island but tsoon found
that something had to be done or they
would be swept away. They found
tree with three trunks united at the bot
tom and forking out a few feet above the
ground and nailed strips of planks to
each trunk, high enough as they thought
would be secure, and made sort of
platform with boards, perched upon
which, with the surging waters beneath,
they remained for five long days and
nights before they were rescued.
Il was under the shade of this that
Benjamin F. Perry and Bynum fought a
duel over half century ago. It was in
the days of notification, in 1882, when
politics were stormy and party spirit ran
high. Perry was staunch unionist and
Bynum was fiery nullifer. The latter
grossly insulted Perry, and in obedience
to the barbarous custom that then pre-.
vailed, Perry had to challenge him or
suffer disgrace ct the bar of public opin-
ion. At the day appointed they met Oh
the island, each with his pistol and
coffin. Bynum was an expert shot and
it was confidently believed that Perry
would bite the dust at the crack of his
pistol. They fought at ten PAGES. At
the word Perry fred first. Bynum then
fred and his ball tore hole through
Perry's coat breast exposing the red
lining. Colonel Huger, who was present
and near Bynum, exclaimed, "Re's got
it," and Bynum replied, 81 have too"
Bynum's ball hit exactly where he had
told his friends it would, but Perry's coat
was a very loose fit, and the bullet grazed
the skin, leaving blue streak across his
body. Perry's ball went through By
NUNS thigh, cutting the main artery,
and the poor fellow bled to death. He
was carried to house on the place now
owned by Mr.. Price, and ths blood stains
from his wounds were visible on the
ceiling when the house was torn down
last year. His remains were inferred at
the old stone church, three miles from

formation has been received here of tie
outrageous conduct of two men named
III. K. Hightower deputy United States
marshal, and Rufus Durham, who live in
the mountains Of this county. On Tues
day last they came to town and drank
very freely, leaving for home in drunk
en- condition. On the way they met
little deaf and dumb negro boy, whom
they whipped numerically because he
could not tell them the way. a negro
man, named Jesse Sample, was shot in
the stomach and dangerously wounded by
Rufus Durham. Another child was go.
verely whipped by them, and they also
shot at party of young men in wagon,
bullet grazing the head of man named
Stroud. and slightly wounding him.
Their conduct excited,s great deal of in
dignation, and warrants have been issued
for their arrest, whe6Sit is hoped they
will be properly punished. Both are
dangerous characters, and have been in.

Kocll's Rival.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. Cdr. E. Fletch-
er Ingalls,, of this city, reports good pro.
greas with the use of,the tuberculosis
cure of Dr.. Shurly, of Detroit. He has
fifteen patients under treatment, and dur
ing the two weeks he has been using the
cure he says signs of improvements are
visible in every case. He said tonight
that unless be was mistaken DR.. Shurly
had discovered specific for the most
dreaded of all known diseases. Some of
his patients, be said, were in the last stage
of the disease, all of them having tuber.
culosis in pronounced form. One pa.
tient, who, two weeks ago was wasting
rapidly, now coughs great deal less.
Another patient, who ten days ago was
breaking down and losing flesh, besides
exhibiting other terrible signs of disease,
has gained two pounds under the new
treatment.
DR.. Ingalls, says he believes firmly in
DR.. Shurly's treatment, as there is no
danger in the administration of the 10.
dine and gold chloride. The iodine kills
one of the animal poisons and the gold
chloride the other, there being two kinds
of ptomaines in tuberculosis.

Staunch Masonic Brotherhood.

CHICAGO, January GA week from
next Sunday at the Emergency Hospital
8 remarkable scene will be witnessed.
This will be the cutting off Of portions of
skin from the bodies of seventy-6Ve or
one hundred members of st. Bernard
Commandery, knights Templar, and the
grating of the several pieces of cuticle
upon the naked flesh of g brother Mason,
John Oscar Dicketson. Mr.. Dickerson
is 8 man of forty-four years. and has been
an honored Mason since the days Of his
earliest manhood and Recorder of St.
Bernard Commapdery since its organiza-
ton in February, 1870.
a year or so ago cancerous growth on
the upper portion of his thigh and the
right hip began to annoy Mr.. Dickerson,
and in time it became 30 painful and
dangerous that surgical operation for
its removal became necessary. The ope-
ration required that q good portion of the
skin and flesh should be cut away with
the cancer; so much, in fact, as to render
it impossible for the exposed edges of the
skin to unite and form complete surface
covering by natural growth. An attempt
was made to graft piece of goatskin
upon the exposed surface, but without
SUCCESS.
A few days ago a delegation from St.
Bernard called upon the attending surgeon
to learn what could be done. The doctor
heaitated little, but finally told them
that if the wound could be covered with
human skin.there would be no doubt of q
complete cure. The members of the
commandery, without further consulta-
tion, told the doctor that whenever he
ordered it men would be ready to give up
to his knife all the skin required to make
whole their sick brother. a meeting Of
the commandery was called, and the ac-
tion of the delegation was approved, and
every one of the 300 members volunteer
ed to submit to the surgeons knife. This
number being far more than WIS needed,
the commandery ordered that selection
should be made from the entire member
ship.
In accordance Herewith about $50
members have been selected to appear at
the hospital one week from next Sunday
ready to permit portions of cuticle to be
removed. The surgeon will probably need
not more than one.tbird or a half OF
them, and will have the choicest, physi-
cally, Of their ranks there to choose from.
Before appearing at the hospital on the
day fixed, the above named and the 9th
ers selected must undergo certain condi.
tions and preparations. They must that
morning take a thorough bath, so that
their skin may be fresh and pure. They
must also have abstained from ardent
spirits for forty. y.eight hours previous to
presenting themselves for the operation.
Each, too, must bring razor with him
thoroughly sharpened and free from stain
or blemish. These razors will be used
only upon those to whom they belong.

Miller is Rampant.

WASHINGTON, Jan 12.-The negro
Miller, from South Carolina, who was
given Col. Elliott's seat in the House last
session by Tom Reed, and who now rep
resents the Seventh District, has ruined
his chances of ever getting the seat again.
To. day he made one of the bitterest and
most outrageous attacks upon the people
of his district, and of the entire South,
ever heard in the halls of Congress. He
said what the Southern negro wanted was
protection to his life and property, and
sought to leave the impression upon the
minds of his Northern hearers that the
Southern whites go out and kill negro
every morning before breakfast. He was
particularly bitter in his attacks upon
his own State. Since his speech it is
certain that he will find no one in the
next House who will vote to give him
the seat he will contest. Miller does not
resemble negro in any respect. He is
white, his hair is perfec. y straight, and,
indeed, he is quite distinguished look.

A New Cure for Group.

Several papers of Paris have published
that DR.. Laugardierre, of Toulouse, had
at different times experimental with sue.
cess with new treatment of sure effcien.
cy for the cure of that terrible disease the
Group. The new treatment consists in
the use of sulphur. DR.. Laugardierre
narrates this his first experiment:
II called for some sulphur powder, took
teaspoonful of it, which I diluted in q
glass Of water, ordering to drink one tea
spoonful of the mixture every hour,
shaking it before using. Next day the
child was better. New potion for the
next day. The following day the child
WAS cured. The only thing left was q
loose cough, which I attributed to the
false membranes circulating in the trach.
cal artery. Asking the parents 10 save it
for me in case the child should expecto.
rate them, two days later sudden fit of
coughing expelled them, and three dried
up pieces the size of q large bean were
brought to me-"
After that cure the doctor obtained
several others, but none more convincing
than the following:
"a. little dirl was dying; neither cry
nor the least sound could come from the
larnyx; the principles of diptheria were
on her ears, neck, head and cheeks 7; her
wheeling breath could be heard at twenty
meters off"
The dor :or had secured probe to in
suf1ate nitrate Of silver into the larnyx.
The parents opposed that, but consented
to make the child swallow the sulphuret.
ted potion during the night.
Son the next day the child, which 1
had considered as lost, was resuscitated-
the voice was restored the potion was
continued during the day, and the next
the child was cured"
