Emect or Diet ON Disposition.

Some authorities hold to the idea
that child's disposition Is largely gov

true, 1t is certain that wholesome food
reacts to produce a wholesome temper

doctor, ''is as pernicious as original

was deposed from the ministry at his own
request and the announcement of his depo-

his moral character in the proceedings.
Mr.. Johnson disappeared about two weeks

from him. About the time OF his disap-

DEATH FOLLOWED QUICKLY.
Angry Imprecation Succeeded by the
Paralysis of the Speaker.

ATLANTA. Ca. Dec. 2S.-A special to the
liam West, an Irishman. about sixty-fve
years of age, who lived with his wife about
one mile east of this place. died yesterday
morning under peculiar and sensational cir
cumstances. His wife, who is very old,
had occasion to go out of the house about 4
O'Clock yesterday morning. She being near

Mr.. West to get up and open the door for
her. This appeared TO make the old man
very angry, and lie told her he wished God
would paralyze her. and he fell to the floor
instantly with a stroke of paralysis, from
the effects OF which he died In about two
hours, never having spoken again. The
death of Mr.. West removes one of the most
unique characters in Coffee county. If not
perhaps in the whole State. In the war be-

battle Of Cold Harbor, and confined in

war. when he returned to his home in Penn
