when the whole earth on the outside seemed
TO begin to tremblc under the influence OF the

Augusta Herald: Many years ago a storm
ragged of the coast of South Carolina. The
sea danced with the wind for partner"
Monster white caps dashed themselves with
remorSeleSs fury against the beach, The in
habltants Of the little town Of Beaufort came
from their houses and ga2ed anxiously across
the waves to see if any ill-starred craft was
struggling near the treacherous coast A cry
of horror arose from one Of the keensighted
watchers and the eyes of all were soon di-
rected to noble ship tossed by the pillows
just outside the bar. there was no power on
earth could save her, and the little group on
shore waited with hated BREATH or the awful
moment when she should go down. Soon the
crash came and a little later the cruel waters
closed over her. The next morning dawned
bright and clear, and one Of She villagers
going out on the beach found there an infant
tightly bound to plank, which the waves
had borne safely to the shore the sole sur,
VlVor of the wrecked ship. The good people
of the town cared for the little waif who was
named Germany, as the fragments Of the
vessel picked up indicated that she was from
that country. He grew up, and for many
years, by his honest. straightforward char

insane recently came TO light IN White county
near Cleveland. There is a young man by the
name Balus Cox, who several years ago re-
nouneed the world and his family, to all in
tents ana purposes, and has for the past few
years made his home in q large dry goods
box. He eats and sleeps there, except oc-
casionally he roams about at night His
mother, who is now getting very old, carries
food and water to him as though she had a
pig IN pen. She has always insisted that
he Is not crazy but despite the old lady's
prct 'st, the authorities sent DR.. Fl b
sutton, an expert to look into the young
man S mysterious actions and ascertain if
possible II was indeed crazy DIT. Sutton
says II is peculiar case, and has withheld
his opinion from publication. The young
man is not ut all violent, but occasionally in
sists on doing something mischievous at night.
His brother, who is n cripple has beautiful
black horse the pride of his heart, but on
arising one morning was mortified to find
that during the night his curious brother
had by the use of knife or a pair of scissors,
clipped his horse name and tail close to the
skin, which gave the beautiful animal the
appearance OF an army mule A young cy-
clone passed through that section not long
ago; both brothers got frightened and ran out
into the yard and met under an apple tree,
which was the first time they had seen each
other in three years
