A Living Curiosity.

MI. Gullick, of Tigerville, came to
town yesterday, bringing in his covered
mountain wagon Lying curiosity In
the shape of a live chicken with its head
off. The bird was dominecker cocker
ell and had been caught on Sunday morn
ing to supply Nj. Gullick's table at din
ner. His head was chopped off with an
axe, this being the usual method of dis
patching fowls, but instead Of futtering
around, kicking his feet and raising
dust siike chicken with his head Off"
he began to stalk about the yard as if
losing this part of his anatomy was
matter of every day occurrence. He con-
tinued to manifest this strange sort of
tenacity to life and was spared from the
spit in consequence. 1t was found that
he would take nourishme ent through his
throat and after being seen by all the
neighbors was brought to town. A
crowd saw him on Main street and agreed
that it was most peculiar sight. He
was quite able to make queer noises that
we're nothing less than grunts: The
flesh around his neck had dried up 80
that the sight was remarkably odd with
out being repulsive. The chicken can be
seen at Browns stable.-Greenvilte Negs,

Want a Baby Boy 6

There was an unexpected passenger on
The evening train over the South Carolina
and Georgia road. He paid no fare and
had no particular destination, and is now
an applicant for home.
When, where or how the little passen-
ger boarded the train Is unknown to
Conductor Speisegger. All he knows is
that when q lady passenger got OF at
station near Columbia he noticed bas-
ket in seat and picked it up to find out
to whom it belonged. No one aboard
seemed to know anything about the bas-
ket. At the time Capt. Speisegger had
but little ides of the precious contents OF
the basket. All of sudden he felt
something move in the basket and lifting
up the towel found to his surprise that he
had an additional and unknown passen-
ger. It was bright looking little boy,
who seemed perfectly satisfied with his
surroundings. A closer examination
showed that note had been pinned to
the clothing on which was written In
somewhat crude chiography, "Whoever
finds this baby please take good care OF
sit. and name it Henry" On the reverse
Ssidelof the card was written: Railroad
baby"
When the train arrived here Conductor
Speisegger turned. the basket and baby
over to Policeman Dawkins, who carried
the boy to the police station. He will
probably be carried to the Columb mbia
Hospital, unless somebody would like to
get it.
This has been the third such expert
ence Conductor Speisegger has had in
service of twenty years.-Cotum6sa State.

Tugaloo Happenings.

A mile from here, amorg the wooded
hills and hollows near the Tugaloo River,
lives white tenant named Bonea. Run.
ming by his house is an unfrequented trail
leading across the river into Georgia.
One day recently, while all the family
except the pretty fifteen. year.old daughter
and the baby were away at work, a strange
negro man entered the house and had
passed across room before the girl, busy
with churning, was aware of his presence.
"Is dey nobody here but you an dis chile?"
be asked, and whom she artlessly replied,
"Nobody," he said: "Den Use gwine to
buckle you down and kill you," stepping
out upon the piazza to his "bulleece," In
which, he said, were his straps and pistol.
When his back was turned the girl, seizing
the baby, escaped noiselessly from the
back door and in moment was lost to
view behind hill and pushed on with all
her might to where her parents were at
work, mile away.
The alarm was raised and soon the woods
were being secured by half hundred de-.
termined men. Later in the day this party
was Joined by an equal number of Gsor-
gians hunting the same man for a like
offence over there. An hour after midnight
the search was stopped and the statement
went out that the negro could not be
found, but the unanimlty with which the
hunt was abandoned and the subsequent
reticence of men supposed to have been in
the searching party gives currency and
warrant to the belieftbe demon was caught
and lynched and his body securely sunk
in the river.
Mrs. Thena Tepnery, aged 9l, and forty.
seven years widow, died at the home Of
relative near here last week. She was
an excellent woman and reared large
family of sons who made good soldiers in
tho armies of the Confsderacy. One Of
these, Sam Tannery, with few comrades,

perately wounded, had fallen into the
enemy's hands and was being robbed by
them, and bore him unconscious and GOV.

Mrs. M. s. Talbot, of Ricky River,

Mrs. M. s. Talbot, of Ricky River,
M. C.,, had very trying and dangerous
sexpefience. Her driver drove on q
bridge and on the farther side found the
stream ont and too deep for fording. The
water came mp to the seats of the carriage
and oyer, and tho horses were almost en-
itireIy under water. The driver, in att
tempting to get out, fell in, and think
ing he was going to drown torsook Mrs.
Talbot and the child, and got out the
best he could. She took the child in her
arms and held her up as well as she could
out Of the water, which then was up to
her waist. Her situation was peril0us.
The water continued to rise. The negro
had deserted them, and there was no one
insight. For si1l long hours the mother
stood there in tho water holding her child
in her arms, as nigh above the water as
bag falling strength would allow. II was
goiclock when shey drove in the water.
Twas o'clock when the first passerby
came along. He fastened to the rescue
ofthe mother and child, and after con-.
siderable work got them safely to land.

The Wilczek Concert Company.

It affords us great pleasure in stating
that our energetic manager of the Opera
House, Mr.. o. U. Breszeale, has been sue
cessful in securing for our city the Franz
Wilcezk Concert Company, one OF the
strongest musical organizations travelling
the United States this season. The Com
panY is booked for next Saturday night,
9th inst.
The Company appeared in Greenvile
last Saturday night, and the Daily Ne,OS
speaks of it as follows:
"The Wilczek concert at the theatre last night
captiyated critical audience of city musicians
and lovers of the divine act. The central figure,
of course, was Franz Wilczek hut he did not carry
of all the honors. Seldom has there been In
Greenvllle combination of musicians where each
received so much and we'll merited applause.
There was dcicacy Of manner, freedom from
the usual stage movement, an apparent love of the
work which each was doing, a genuine feel
ing and appreciation Of the melody and harmony,
which combined to captivate the hearers, and it
seemed as If the audience could not be satisfied,
and encore after encore was heartily demanded
and gracefully given.
Franz Wiezek played and his playing was q
conquest. lie evinced mystery of the violin, Civ
ing exquisite tome delicate purity of intonation
and his bowing was marvellous. His manner was
characterized by self forgetfulness which was
charming Possibly the concerto for two vio!ins
number and it called for three encores.
Orten Bradley, pianist, was a favoritc He play
ed with much taste and faultless execution. His
spacing was the perfection of art and TASTE throw
Ing life into the most intricate passages displaying
excellent technique and decided feeling for
rhythm.
Nine. schultze. Wichman sustained her reputa-
tion as great soprano. She has rich voice, very
round and flexible sympathetic and tender. Her
renditions of tie aI:G f.om "1Iuguenots" and
the duet of "Trovatore" we're wonderful evidences
of her skill and cultivation
Sl1. do Pasquali was favorite from the first
note. His voice Is pure tenor, sweet, sympa-
thetic displaying great power, having the silvery
tone so sought after by tenor singers. He sang
himself into The varrest affections Of his audience
and stamped himself an artist of the very high
est order.
Mr.. Wilczek had fair violin rival on the stage,
his wife, Nine. Wiczek. Her charming person
alty, her daintiness of style, her chaste inspira
tion, combined TO captivate an audience. She Is
volnist of rare culture and creates the sweetest
utterances from the instrument"
