Unqvntten Facts in Georgia History.
BY GEO. G. SMITH, vInevllle, Macon, Ga.

the stanch old governor came once
more to Savannah to take the reins.
Then it was his time to act, and he
did act vigorously. He called an as
sembly and he had an act of attainder
passed, but, alas! he could not en-
force 1t. There was a garrison in Sa-
vannah and a garrison in Augusta,
but the pestiferous rebels were every
where else. In the meantime the whole
of the up country had become involv-
ed. The frontiersmen, Virginians and
North Carolianians, almost all who
had any means, were Wings, and near
~ all ablebodied men were in the war,
but there were not a few Tories and
there was a fearful internecine war.
The larger part of these up country
Tories were simply brigands, and the
war was to the knife, but the act or
1872 shows there were not a few who
were under the ars who belonged to
the best class of up country people,
and whose only fault was that after a
brave fight they had despaired of inde-
pendence and were for submission.
Those who had remained true to the
continental congress, had no pity on
these weak kneed ones, and their
property was taken and they were ex-
lied. The Georgia Gazette after its
resumption in 1888 was full Of the ad-
vertisements of confiscated property.
It was sold on long time, and much of
it never paid for. much paid for, in
state money, worth about one-ffth OF
its stated value. The home Of Josiah
for afterwards Governor Jack
son. The elegant home Of Lieu
tenant Governor Graham was given to
General Waffle Greene, General
Wayne, General Clarke, General
Twiggs, indeed all soldiers and OFF,
GERS shared IN the spoils. The negroes
were taken and divided among the SOL
diers. The cattle were used for the
military, and the lands were sold.
Some of the family was generally on
the Whig side, and secured the heri-
tage, and sometimes the legislature
relieved the loyalists, but property
changed hands at a fearful rate In
those DAYS when 1t was the universal
cry, to the victor belongs the spoils!
Major jackson burned nine barns for
the old governor, and then bought the
farm he had near Savannah. at the
sale of confiscated lands. Many fam
lilies were reduced to poverty and some
of the exiles never returned to Geor-
gia-
The bitterness passed away gradu-
ally and one by one the loyalists came
back and their children found them
selves sometimes in the ancestral
homes, which had been preserved for
them by some kind friends or relative
but for hundred years no kind word
was spoken for people who had been
guilty Of no other crime that being
loyal to their king. The vault OF Sir
John Graham was taken with his es-
tate at Mulberry Grove and two years
after the estate passed to General
Greene. General Greene died. They
bore him to Savannah and placed his
coffin in the vault. Forty years after
ward 1t was said, that when the vault
was opened the coffin was not there.
The rumor became current and for
70 years was believed that Lady Ora

In these autumn days when It is often
too cold and stormy to go out of doors at
recess, all sorts of indoor games are In
demand. The old games soon get tiresome
and a great many Of our little friends
write US that they study all during re-
cess, sometimes because they have not
prepared their lessons, but usually be-
cause they have nothing else to do, that is
any fun. 1t is wrong to study during re-
cess, unless you really need every minute
to keep from failing In a coming recita-
ton, because recesses were invented so
that you will be all the fresher after
ward and study and recite better than II
you kept at hard work.
Here is a game that is long enough to
last all recess and still can be stopped
any time the ben may ring which calls

pie one, too, and, besides giving you the

tfons. is great fun, and will sharpen your
wits finely AS many as 20 girls can play
or as few as five, but 10 or dozen is the
best number.
The players all sit in a row, and the
girl at the right-hand end, or head" of
the row gives a fraction of one, say one
fourth. The girl next to her adds another
fraction to this, and she may give any
part of one not under one-tenth that, adj
ded to the fraction already given, will not
make exactly one whole number. She
cannot give fraction with the same de-
nominator of the one given by the girl
Just ahead Of her, and If she should add
one that should chance to make exactly
one whole, she must go to the foot at
once, taking her seat at the seat on the
extreme left of all Of the other players.
For instance, If she should add six-eights
For instance, If she should add six-eighths
to go to the foot. but If she should say
''four-sevenths," she would make one and
three twenty-eighths, which is safely past
the dangerous unit The next girl should
do likewise, perhaps adding three-fourths,
which would make total of one and six
seventies.
The players simply announce the num-
bers they wish to add, and do not say
aloud the sum that that number will
make. The next player is liable to get
confused and add a number that viii
make a whole number, say two or three,
and be passed down to the foot. That Is
where the fun comes in.

some men to rob the vault and bury
the rebel anywhere they chose. The
vault in time became the property Of
the heirs OF Sir John Graham. and Miss
Massman always declared General
Greene's remains were still there.
It was not credited, but last year In
that vault the coffin plate was found
and the statement she made verified.
There was no mercy IN the treat-
ment of the Tories OF the Interior.
They were in the main simply robbers
and they neither gave nor received
quarters. Nine were killed at one time
by the sons of Colonel Dolly to avenge
their fathers death. Grierson was
shot in cold blood after he had surren-
dered and there was even toward those
who had once been In the Wing army
but who took the oath injustice
done. And for years after the
revolution the legislature was reliev-
ing those who had been banished and
whose estates had been taken from
them, but in my childhood no insult
was so great as to say, "One who de-
scended from a Tory"

ABOUT RUBIES.
Il Is Growing Much More Difficult to
Obtain Them.
Chicago News.

a. Chicago News.
Rubies are growing scarcer. The most
beautiful come from Ceylon, India ana
China. The mines of Pegu are nearly
exhausted or but little worked today. The
regions where they are situated are dan
gerous to approach; besides in the state
of the grand mogul the expectation OF ru-
bies is forbidden until they have been ex-
hibited to the sovereign, who retains the
most beautiful. The ruby Of Siam Is dis
tinguished by its deep red color some
what resembling the garnet.
Carbuncles, to which the ancients at
tributed fantastic proprieties, were in re-
atty rubies. They served, 1t was saio'
to give light to large serpents or dragons
whose sight had been enfeebled by age;
they bore them constantly between their
teeth and laid them down only for eating
and drinking. 1t was even claimed that
the carbuncle emitted light in darkness
and that the thiclxest clothing could not
stop its rays. Without all the exaggera-
ton of such legends II was believed for
a long time that rubies contained lumi-
nous rays. The truth Is that they have
double refraction and send out the red
rays with unequalled brilliancy. Travers-
ed in a vacuum by an electric current
they are Illuminated with a red fire of ex-
treme intensity. The greatest heat does
not change their form or their color.
The largest ruby known in Europe is
said TO be one that the Russian caravans
brought from China with other precious
stones in exchange for their peltries and
which forms today one of the rarest or
naments of the imperial court of Russia.
