Startling Discovery Made by "A Nat

Waycross, Ga, Aug. 5.-The Georgia
gopher" according to the opinion OF a
northern professor of natural history is a
humbug, and has no just title to the name
it has borne so long in the rural districts
of Georgia. Everybody that you meet is
familiar with the Georgia gopher, and the
average farmer will be surprised to learn
that the little animal is no gopher after
all. Gopher salad and gopher pie are as
palatable dishes to the Georgia darby as
the turtle is to the coast darby. And
now the information is that the Georgia
gopher is only ground turtle of the
dwarf specie.
1t has been rumored for several days

one or two Offices.

He said he had for the last ten years
always slept out of doors, even in the

independence too much to change his
mode of life. 1t was proved that this &C.

whom he met at night under the bridges
or elsewhere, in order to enable them in
winter to obtain shelter from the cold.
He does not go about in rags but has

The practice Of burning the old and dry
grass on unoccupied lands in order that a
younger and more tender growth may give
pasture to cattle Is still common in some
of our states and its results, though of
benefit to few, are disastrous to the gen.
eral welfare In Florida the cattlemen
have long been omnipotent, They have
sway in the legislature, which enacts laws
to suit their wishes, even to the extent Of
prohibiting towns and villages from pass
ing ordinances to prohibit the running at
large of cattle.
A considerable portion OF the state is
thus annually burned oyer, Nor is it the
grass alone that burns, but fire conmuni-

4 Clean Of Sunshine-That Baby.

There was a baby In a railway car
the other day. twas not an unusual
child, but it had a decidedly
bright face and pretty ways. For
the first few miles she was very
quiet, and her blue eyes looked
about in wonderment, for evidently it
was the little ones first ride in the
cars. Then, as she became used to
the roar and rumble, the baby pro-
clivities asserted themselves and
she began to play with her fathers
mustache. At first the father and
mother were the only parties inter-
ested, but soon young lady in an
adjacent seat nudged her escort and
directed his attention to the laugh
ing child. He looked up, remarke ed
that it was pretty baby and tried to
look unconcerned, but it was noticed
that his eyes wandered back to the
spot occupied by the happy family,
and he commenced to smile. The
baby pulled the hair of an old lady in
front, who turned around savagely
and glared at the father with look
that painly said "Nuisances should
be left at hOme.n But she caught
sight of the laughing eyes of the baby,
and when she turned back, she
seemed pleased about something.
Several others had become interest
ed in the child by this time, business
men and young clerks, old ladies
and girls, and when the baby hands
grasped the large silk hat of her
father and placed it on her own
head, it made such a comical pic
ture that an old gentleman across
the way, unable to restrain himself,
burst out into. loud guffaw, and
then looked sheepishly out the win
dow, as if ashamed to be caught do
ing such an unmanly thing. Before
another five minutes he was playing
peek a-boo across the aisle with the
baby, and every one was envying
him.
The ubiquitous young man, ever
on the move, passed through, and
was at loss to account for the
frowns Of everybody. He had fail
ed to notice the baby. The brake
man looked in from his post on the
platform and smiled. The paper boy
found no custom till he had spoken to
the baby and jingled his pocket of
change for her edifcation. The
conductor caught the fever and
chucked the little one under the
chin, while the old gentleman across
the aisle forgot to pass up his ticket,
so interested was he in playing peek
a-bo0. The old lady in front relax
ed, and diving into her reticule un.
earthed a brilliant red pippin and
presented it bashfully to the little
one, who, in response, put her club
by arms around the donors neck,
and pressed her rosy little mouth to
the old lady's cheek. 1t brought
back a flood of remembrances to
that withered heart, and a handker-
chief was seen to brush first this
way and then that, as if to catch a
falling tear
