 A GEORGIA NEGRO
Brutally Murders Two Women and a Man-Strung Up and Riddled
 With Bullets

MACON, Ga., Aug. 2O.-A special to the Telegram from Mercurius, Ga, says: The most fiendish crime in the history of Sumter County, or the whole State was committed at Friendship, twelve miles west of here, last night.
 Mrs. James McGarray and her son, James Byrne, were murdered by a negro with an ax while they were in their beds. After this double murder the fiend caught a negro woman, tied her to tree in the woods and mutilated her in a shocking manner. She died. but not until she had told the murderer's name.
 The woods and fields for miles about were secured by a posse. many negroes joining in the chase for the murderer In the meantime, it Is said, the negro woman who was found tied in the woods and mal- treated made statement as to the guilty negro and pointed out as the culprit one of the most diligent in the search of the supposed criminal. After thoroughly sat isfying themselves of his guilt the black brute was strung up and his body riddled with bullets.

THE TENNESSEE RIOT.
Formal Charges Have Been Preferred Against the Four
 Men Under Arrest.

Privates Davis, Clarke and Anderson, of Company l., and Scruggs Of Company E, First Tennessee Regiment, are the soldiers who will have to appear before a court-martial to answer to the charge of assault upon the person and property of Dan Thomas. Lieutenant Fowler. who conducted the investigation, sub- mitted to General Miller yesterday, through Colonel Smith. the charges that he has preferred against these men. He only found evidence to implicate the men named although more soldiers were engaged in the riot. The men will be ordered before court-martial this week, and there Is no doubt that they will be severely punished. Private Scruggs will have to answer to the separate charge of assaulting Thomas when he was in the custody of Major Cheatham. This charge IS the most serious of any preferred.
 Colonel Smith has not yet replied to the bill of complaint of the Thomas family, asking for $5OOO damages, which was sub mitted to him by General Miller. When the colonel makes his formal reply, which will be this week, General Miller ill appoint the board of officers to assess the damages.

Deafness.

Among the few ear troubles that
may be fittingly spoken of in this jour
nal comes, first and foremost, that
greatest of all ear troubles-deafness
And deafness arises from a number of
causes, only one or two of which can
be indicated in this, paper. A leading
aural surgeon states that numbers of
people travel hundreds and thousands
of miles to consult him about deafness
which is entirely due to a collection of
wax in the ears, which is easily and
safely removable with a syringe and
warm water. This experience is fully
borne out in that of other practitioners,
and patients who come to us in. great
concern about their deafness are sent
away perfectly satisfied and comfort
ed by the application of some softening
material to the wax and the removal Of
the softened mass by careful Swinging.
This leads us to another cause of
deafness-a sore and congested throat,
and enlarged tonsils, quinsy, etc. The
deafness that not infrequently accom-
panies cold is in many cases traceable
to the blocking of these little tubes,
which convey air and sound to the ear.
Hence a gargle of alum and water.
port wine and water, or alum water
with little cayenne pepper, may re-
lieve this form of deafness by improy-
ing the condition of the throat; or a
wet bandage round the throat, covered
in turn by gutta percha tissue or fan
mel; or a linseed poultice may cure
the same condition; and in cases OF
chemically relaxed threats, with ac-
companying deafness, the cold douche
to the throat is invaluable. If systemat-
ically used; and chlorate Of potash
or carbolic acid lozenge, eaten occa-
sionally, will also be beneficial.

sound. Better take it away from all
gossip, from all SANDER from all i'm
nuendo, from all bad influence of evil
association. Better put it to school,
to church, to philharmonic. Better
put that ear under the blessed touch
of Christian hymnology. Better con-
secrate 1t for time and eternity to him
who planted the ear. Rousseau, the in
fidel, fell asleep amid his sceptical
manuscripts lying all around the room,
and in his dream he entered heaven
and heard the song of the worshipers,
and it was so sweet he asked an angel
what it meant. The angel said: This
is the Paradise of God, and the song
you hear Is the anthem of the redeem
ed" Under another roll of the celes-
up in the midnight, and, as we'll as he
could wrote down the strains of the
music that he had heard in the won
derful tune called THE Song of the
Redeemed" God grant that it may
not be to you and to me an infidel
dream but a glorious reality. When
we come to the night of death and we
lie down to our last sleep, may our ears
really be wakened by the canticles of
the heavenly temple, and the. songs
and the anthems and the carols and
the doxologies that shall climb the
musical ladder Of that heavenly ga

Crews of the warships Strike.

Portland, Eng, April 1.-THE new
United States cruiser formerly Di-
ogenes), in command of Lieut.. John j.
Knapp, and the torpedo boat Somers,
Ensign C. w. Hazleton commanding,
which were en- route for the United
States, put in here Sunday. After
clearing Portland such a heavy sea
was encountered that the Somers was
almost buried, and Lieut.. Knapp deem
ed it safer to return. About thirty of
the Topekas crew refused to sail in
her, necessitating the shipping of
others to fill their places. The Somers,
it is found, sprung leak, but her Off
GERS do not regard the injury as seri-
Gus. Her crew, however, became
frightened and struck. They were not
enlisted men. Lieut.. Knapp is endeav-
oring to secure a fresh crew.

Clay Eaters of Various Lands.

Baron Won Humboldt says that in all
tropical countries the natives show an
almost irresistible desire to swallow
earth; and not alkaline earths, which
they might be supposed to crave in or
der to neutralize acid but unctuous and
strong smelling clays. Women on the
Magdalena river, while shaping earth
en- vessels on the potter's wheel, put
large Jumps Of clay in their mouths,
and it is often necessary to confine
children to prevent them running out
to eat earth Immediately after fall of
rain. Humboldt, in descending the
Orinoco passed a day with the earth
eating tribe of Indians called the Oto-
macs, and thus describes the peculiar
diet and habits of this people: 1.-The
earth which the Otomacs eat is soft
unctuous clay, true potter's clay, of
yellowish-gray color, due to little
oxide of iron. They seeh for it on the
banks of the Orinoco and Meta, and
select it with care, as they do not, con-
slider all clays equally agreeable to eat.
They knead the earth into balls of
about five or six inches in diameter,
fire until the outside assumes a reddish
tint. The balls are remoistened when
about to be eaten. A very intelligent
monk, who had lived twelve years with
the Indians, assured us that one of
them would eat from three-quarters of
,,to in,
day. If you inquire of an Otomac
about his winter provision he will
point to the heap of clay balls stored
in his hut" After mentioning other
instances, Humboldt concludes as fol-
lows: I'VE find the practice of eating
earth diffused throughout the torrid
zone, but accounts have also come from
the north, according to which hundreds
of cart loads of earth containing in
fusoria are said to be annually con-
sumed by the country people in the
most remote parts of Sweden and that
in Finland kind of earth is occa-
sionally mixed with bread" The Pc
ruvians, according to Nodlina, eat a,
sweet-smelling clay. The inhabitants
of Guinea mingle clay with their bread,
and the negroes of Jamaica are said to
eat earth when other food is deficient
According to Labillardiere, the inhab-
itants of New Caledonia appease their
hunger with a white, friable earth,
said to be composed of magnesia, sill
ca, oxide of iron, and chalk We must
add to this list Siam, Siberia, and
Kamtschatka as, countries of clay
eaters.
