An ATURALICE ROUSE
Scott County Comes to the Front
with the Eighth Worlds wonder.


A dispatch from Lynchburg, Va,
dated June "a, tells this remarkable
story:
In the north side of Stone noun
tain, six miles from the mouth of
Stony creek, in Scott county, has
been discovered natural ice-house
on a grand scale. One of the old
settlers first discovered it about
1880, but owing to the fact that the
land ON which it was situated could
not be bought, he refused to tell it's
whereabouts, and would only take
ice from it in case of sickness.
lie died without revealing the Sc
cret to even his own family, and but
for party of ''Seng" diggers enter
ing the region, it might have remain
ed a secret for generations, as it is
situated in an unfrequented part of
the mountain.
The ice is only protected from the
rays of the sun by thick growth OF
moss, resembling a texture, and like
moss that can be seen dangling from
the oaks of Louisiana and Texas.
J Its formation was after the fashion
of coal vein, being a few inches
| thick in some places, while several
| feet in others. The formation indi
Gates that it had been spread over in
a liquid state, and then CONCEALED.
By what process it freezes or was
! frozen is d matter of conjecture at
this stage of investigation. Some
think it was formed in the winter,
! and had been protected since by a
dense growth OF moss which covers
| it, while the more plausible theory is
that beneath the bed is situated a
great natural laboratory, whose
function is a formation of ether, and
the process OF freezing goes steadily
on through the heat as well as the
cold. The growth ofthe moss resem
bles the hanging moss around Hud
son Bay, and indicates a frigid tenn
perature. The bed covers one acre
and if it proves ineXhastabe, it will
be valuable, since it is located neal
| the Three C's railrn ad.

INGERSOLL TAKEN DOWN.
How His Eloquent Atheism Upset the
Belief of Old Simon Cameron.

The mention of Colonel Bob Inger
soils name recalls a touching little
story of Washington life, says
Eugene Field in the Chicago News
Record. One cherries, rainy night
some years ago, the venerable Simon
cameron was sitting in the office of
the Ebbitt house, gazing out through
the window into the fog and dark
ness. He was lost in thought and
his face was the picture of melan-
choly. Presently, Colonial Ingersoll
entered.
"What. has happened, general" he
asked. ''You look as if you'd lust
lost your last friend''
"Ah, Bob said the old man with
sigh, 81 have just seen a cruel,
pitiable sight. Anaged and crippled
soldier was painfully toiling up the
street yonder and was making some
progress. when along came a big,
double-fisted, broad-shouldered fell
low and kicked the crutches out from
under the old cripple, leaving him
feeble and helpless, to pick himself
up as best he could
81 would to God had been here 7"
cried 1ngersoll angrily, 'I'd have
trounced the ruffian! | never heard
of SO brutal an outraged What,
abuse an old and crippled man like
that! I'd make quick work of the
bruter'
'Wait a moment, Bob interposed
old Simon Cameron, gently 81 was
that aged and crippled veteran, and
[ was toiling along to my grave
And it was you Bob who came across
NY path and kicked from under me
the crutches that supported me in
that last journey
Colonel Ingersoll made no answer;
the old man continued to look
mournfully out into the night.

Confederate Veterans Passing Away

From the Atlanta Journal
From some statistics just returned
to the Governors office by State
Treasurer Hardeman it becomes
painfully apparent that the old
soldiers of the Coniederacy and their
widows are passing fast away. Col.
Hardeman this morning sent in his
report of the money paid out for
pensions since the first of March. 1t
shows that the crippled soldiers of
Georgia have received during the
year $751; ,225. There is decided
falling off in the number of old sold
iers who have been drawing 500 a
year for the loss of a limb or for
total disability In 1888 there were
1000 pensioners under this head
but from Col. Hardeman's figures
there are now only 773 pensioners
under this head, showing that nearly
800 have died since 1888. Capt. w.
H. Harrison of the executive office,
who receives all applications foe
pensions, stated this morning that
the widows of the Confederate sol
diers were decreasing at an alarming
te. Since last year ninety-one OF
them have died, and as quite a num-
Der have not renewed their applica
tions for pensions it is presumed
many of them are dead. Last year
there were eighty-three deaths
among the widows, but this year
will be more than one hundred, be-
sides three marriages

The Character of Tam1nany

Rev. DIR. Parkhurst.
One reason why Tammany calls
me social leper is because [ dared
to pluck the mask from it's dirty face.
l showed that the police are paid for
enforcing the law against criminals
and criminals pay them for not en-
forcing it. And some New York PEG
pie think one payment is enough.
So far as enforcing the laws against
criminals, a New York. policeman is
a piece of municipal bric-a brac.
For instance, they receive from dis
reputable houses, which they are
supposed to suppress, $500 for the
first protection and $50 a month
afterward. Police officials, on sala-
ries of from $3,7OO to $4,000, in a
few years own real estate, brown
stone houses in fashionabl localities,
live -magnificently, send their boys
to swell colleges and their girls to
boarding schools-in fact, educate
their children on the proceeds of
female virtue-the damnable scound-
rels.

The season of the ..sIzzard.. ;,

From the Erie Herald
The f'sizzard'' in contradistinction
to the word "blizzard !" is the term
now used in the Northwest to de
scribe those days when the sun takes
of his mask and looks at us with
both eyes at once and the mercury
runs up to the top notch of the Their
mometer. 1t is a very appropriate
and expressive word to use. When
the atmosphere contains a super
abundance of caioric, when the bricks
ia the sidewalk seem so many live
Goals; in fact, when all nature begins
to ''sizz," then know for a certainty
that 'ssizard" has arrived.

cHEERFUL AND HopEFUL.
.Yeur Uncle JoHes'' Thinks he W.iI
Pull Through

Rey. Sam Jones writes somewhat
like he talks, in homely fashion.
In a recent letter to the Tennessee
Methodist, he closes with this bit of
humor and philosophy:
The stringency ia financial matters
has become general l hope it may
be no worse. / sometimes think the
South was never in better shape for
the crisis. We never owed more or
had less. A great many are like old
Big John Underwood, of Rome, Ga,
when he said hewas Ready to die in
the name of the Lord; he owed about
as many as he didn't owe, and had
nothing to pay with, and therefore
he was even with the world" The
New York banks absolutely refuse to
rediscount paper for many southern
banks. and the banks are pressing
their customers. If times get much
tighter some men will be like Dick
hat band-they will give away under
the pressure. IGis consolation, how
ever, to know that 'naked came we
into this world and naked we will 90
hence" Infant dresses and shrouds
have no pockets. Three square
meals a day, with somebody to
patch for US and darn our socks, and
we will make the landing to the
graveyard Nine tenths of our worry
is about something we bought and
didn't need, or We bought on specu-
lation and the bears have got us.
But it will soon be blackberry time,
and then water melons, and then
peaches and then 'possums. We will
last till Christmas anyhow. [ have
been worried somewhat in the past,
but if man can't do any better he
can always come out the hole he
went in at. l want to keep out of
the Jail here and perdition hereafter,
and thereby | will save my scalp.
