The Greenbrier wv. Va.) Courts Re-
fuse to License the Sale of Liquor.
All of the saloons throughout the coun-
ty of Greenbrier, w. Va, in which the
town of Ronceverte is located, have been
closed, the County and Corporation au-
thorities placing the amount required to
procure license at $1,000. This sum
must be paid before any person can en-
gage in the business in that city, as re-
tail dealer. AS result, the saloons
closed their doors on Saturday last.
Whether this will stop the sale of whis-
ky in Greenbrier county remains to be
seen.

Bleaching OF THE GIrANA.
A News Correspondence Visit to the
Scene of the Recent Wreck.

Darien, Ga, April 27.-An invitation
was extended your correspondent Tues
day by Aug. Schmidt, president of the
Darien and Sapelo Towboat Company to
visit the spot on Wolf Island beach where
the magnificent yacht Gitana of Boston
ran ashore a few days ago. The tugs
Dandy, Crescent City and MallOnee, all
of the Darien and Sapelo Towboat Com
pany, were in attendance.
Capt. Benjamin Thompson of Boston,
representing the underwriters and owners
of the yacht, and the captains of the tow
boats having come to the conclusion that
in order to save the yacht the ballast
would have to be taken out. went to work
at this with coats off, and when next
morning at , O'Clock the powerful tug
Dandy pulled at her she came slowly but
surely.
The building of this beautiful yacht
alone cost $4,000, and her cabins are
scenes Of Opulence and luxury.
Capt. Thompson yesterday promptly
rendered r. d. Wylly, secretary and
treasurer of the Darien and Sapelo Tow
boat Company a check for 81, 900 for serv-
ices rendered by the company Capt.
Thompson eXpr esses himself delighted at
the efficient services of the towboats, es-
pecially the Dandy, which he pronounces
one of the very best towboats in southern
waters.
In conversation with Capt Thompson
to-day he said he had so far been unde-
cided whether to carry the yacht to Sa-
vannah or Jacksonville for repairs, but
he has now determined that Savannah is
the best place, and will have her towed
there in day or two, or a Is soon as he can
arrange for sufficient pumping power to
keep her a1Oat.
JobeY d. Ryals, prosperous farmer in
this vicinity, lost by fire the other day
his stables, barns, sugar mill and several

Ryals is quite heavy and he thinks the
fire was the work of an inCendiary.
Capt. O. M Carter is here looking after
the improvements that are going on in the
Altamaha river.
There have been five new buildings
erecteu on Broad street in the past two

WITHOUT ARITHMETIC.
How Uncivilized Beings Do Their
Counting Without Numbers.
From the GripsaclI


SavageS are not very well off for nu-
merals, and their knowledge of arithme-
tic is very limited. Very few savage ma
tions have distinctive words for any
higher number than four-some do not 90
higher than two-all higher numbers be-
ing included in the terms many or in
Vulnerable
Some nations can count beyond four,
but they have no word to denote five,
and, therefore, they use the same word
for five as they do for hand" For
six" then, they would say one hand and
one;' for ten they would say 1.-TWO
hands, Those who count beyond ten"
make use of the toes. - and for eleven"
say two hands and one toe" and
twenty would be two hands and two
feet, or ''one man"
The Bushmen or Brazilian Wood In
dians cannot count beyond two. The
Botocudos of Central Africa have a word
for one, but anything beyond is many"
Among the natives of Ellice's islands
the word ten means ''all''-all the
fingers.
The natives of Erroob and some of the
Cape Workers of Australia have words
for 'one - two and three" but for
-four they say "the whole In West
ern Australia they have words for zone, 90
two, three and -four" while the
word for five, means the finger being
on one hand, - and ten" being on two
hands"
One author gives a word for Fifteen, -"
'mehr-in-be li-belli-gudgir iura banga ~
the exact meaning of which is
1.-THE fingers on the hand on
either side and half the feet =
The Lower Murray nations have words
for one and two only. For five
they say "one hand" for ten, 1.-TWO
hands" Very few Australian tribes can
count beyond -four their terms for
five merely implying IA large num-
Der"
Dammaras use no term beyond three,
and that when they wish to express
-four" they take to their fingers Beyond
they cannot count at all. 1t is seldom,
however, that they lose in a bargain
through their inability to count
When bartering each sheep or oxen, or
whatever they may he selling, must be
paid separately. If this rate Of exchange
were at the rate of two sticks of tobacco
for one sheep it would greatly puzzle a
Dammara to accept four sticks for two
sheep.
In Labrador the word for five" means
also hand 3" while the word for twenty
means the hands and feet together "
The Zamuca and Mayuca Indians for
five say zone hand finished" for six
they say one on the other hand, ~ for
ten" two hands finished or simply
foot" For eleven" they say foot
one, - for twelve foot two and for
twenty they say feet finished or
lone man." meaning "as many fingers
and toes as a man has
OThe Esquimau of Greenland for 90
say man, and for 100 they say five
men, f." but the generality Of them are not
such learned arithmeticians as this, and
therefore, when the number is above 20
they saw "innumerable" For eight"
they say three on this other hand, " and
'E24' is four on the second man"

a Train in Louisiana.
New Orleans, April 27.-Judre Theard,
in the civil district court, delivered de-
cision yesterday in Jim Crow car case.
Sheriff Broussard of Lafayette parish
sued the Illinois Central railroad for $40
00o damages for election from one of the
trains of the company. The court decided
against him. He bought two frst-class
tickets for the purpose Of taking a crazy
negro prisoner to the state asylum at
jackson, La He placed his prisoner in
the smoking section Of the white car, and
the sheriff, who was ill., went
into the smoking section
The conductor told him he
would have to take his prisoner into the
ColOred car or else sit with him in the
smoking section common to both races
Sheriff Broussard objected and he and
his prisoner We're elected The court
held, with the conductor that the law
did not discriminate, except in favor Of
ColOred nurses of white children, and as
the railroad company was subject to
penalty if it violated the law, the con
duCtor's action was justitiable. The Ques-
ton of convenience was one for the
legislature, and the suit was dismissed
