Hold in thy manners, heaven arraigning ! '

And sets himself to fight with God.

A Thrilling Adventure at Stone
Mountain.
A LITTLE GIRL SUSPENDED OVKR A 1,500
FOOT CHASM.
STONE MOUNTAIN, August 29 —Our
usually quiet village was thrilled with an
excitement yesterday evening that
blanched tho chcoks of women and par
alyzed the arms of men for awhile.
Mrs W. C. Jones, of Augusta, who
has been spending the summer with her
children at the Jossey House in Decatur,
came hero yesterday to go np on the
mountain and cjoy tht view fur tho last
time preparatory to going hack to her
home in Augusta. Tho children were
enthusiastically and delighted at tho
trip, running hither and thithor through
groves of cedar, and mountaiu heaps of
boulders piled up in fantastic shape.
Unnoticed, little Emma, a charming
fairy creature of some ten years of age,
had wandered off and could not be found.
It was near the north side, with : ts per
pendicular descent of over 1,500 feet,
and hearts almost ceased to beat, palled
by the fear—a horror that ereeped
through tho frame and ran through the
marrow like a wire of cold steel—that
the bright eyes and fairy form of tho
fair Emma was a pulpy mass at the foot
of the mountain. To intensify this hor
ror, the sun was rapidly declining in tho
west, aud soon night would close in on
the scene. Parties in the valley, on the
north side of the mountain, saw, how
ever, the child way up the "mountain
side, bleak and bare," clinging to the
crevices with a tenacity truly remarka
ble. They shouted to her to "hold on"
and relief would oome. She took in the
situation and held on while she called
out for assistance in the hope that her
mother and sisters might know where
she was. The news spread like fire in a
broom sedge field, aud a largo crowd
soon gathered on the mountain. The
first chill of horror was succeeded by a
fever of excitement to rescure the dar
i ling one", lost Gy~sou>e unguarded move
ment she might lose her slender hold
and fall to certain death. And now
oauie a moment fraught with intenscst
interest.
The point where little Emma was
lodged was over one hundred feet from
the top, with a perpendicular fall of some
fifty feet just above ber, and fifteen
hundred feet or more below her. She
was resting on a narrow ledge of rock
scarcely large enough to hold her ; in
fact, she maintained her position by
thrusting her fingers in the orevicce
among the lichens growing there. Few
men cared to venture down. Mr. George
H Goldsmith, however, fired by a noble
desire to rescue the child from certain
death, was let down by means of the
rope. Slowly the rope is rolled off; eyes
watch every movement with intense ea
gerness, and hearts throb wild and fast
as young Goldsmith descends. A pauso
—a thrill—as he leaves tho rock and
seems to be in mid air. At last he spies
her; he reaches ber; with a convulsive
grasp she seizes hold upon him, and be
signals to asceud. Hands now work with
frenzied aotivity ; prayers asoend from
aching hearts that the rope may hold
out; eyes and hearts are strainod to their
utmost tension until sight of her is
caught.
At last sho is brought in safely to the
top. A wave of satisfaction breaks over
the multitude, breaking out in a higher
wave of rejoicing as sho is clasped in the
I fond embrace of laving hearts. Then
ascended to tbo Most High ascriptions of
praise from thankful hearts for the rescuo
of the ohild, aud petitioned for the richest
benizons on her youthful rescuer
Emma states that while strolling about
Bhe slipped and fell to the point where
the ledge stopped her decent, nod in her
effflrts to protect herself sho grasped the
crevice of the rooks as stated. To let
go was to fall, aud she held on.— Atlanta

BURNING TBKK STUMPS. —Treo

deep into the stump. Fill with a con

Story of Boau Hickman.
It is related of tho famous Beau Hick
man that in his best days ho once went (
to a first-clasß hotel in Baltimore, and, '
after registering his name, said ho wanted
the vory best the houso could afford for
his monoy, twirling in his hand at tho
same timo a quarter of a dollar. The
clerk saw before him an elegantly at
tired gentleman, and, as Beau requested, \
assigned him a handsome parlor and bed
room. I/3RU lived like a fighting cock,
ordering winos, cxtri dinners and every- j
thing palatable, for a week, ut the end
of w!.icii_ tiinn tho bill was sent. The {
amount was something extravagant j
Nothiiif; abashed, however, he strolled |
into the oEcc and coufronted the clerk, j
•'Look here, sir; there must bo some '
mistake about this; wi.cn I cauie here I
told you I wanted the best you could af
ford for my money's worth. 1 had this
quarter then (producing the coin) and
it's all I've hud since." Tho clerk waxed j
angiy and high words followed. ' Your t
fault, sir, your fault," said (he impertur I
bahle Beau, "not mine. You oan kick ]
me out if you like, but I'd rather go '
alone." Tradition says they were about I
to proceed to violent measures when the
landlord appeared on the scene, aud ;
looking at the name on the register, re
called tho peculiar vagrant character of
the man before him (then just becoming
notorious in Washington) and discovered
that be had been "egregiously sold"
The thought flashed across his mind, j
"If this joke gets out I'll be tho laughing
stook ot my friends, aud never hear the ,
last of it." Deliberating a moment be I
turned to Boau, and good naturcdly said : j
"That's the best I ever had ; but I oan't j
keep it. I'll make a bargain with you. j
Here, take five dollars and pay your faro j
to Washington (Beau quietly pocketed
the half eagle) and now go over to the
House, stay a week on the Baine
terms you stayed here, and I'll give you
a dipuer every time you oome to Balti-
"Thank you," replied Beau, ■
, withctH cracking a Buiile, "I've been over
there 'fd «~.Vo weeks and they sent mo
hero."
It is noedless to add that Beau disap
peared out of the front door with an
accelerated motion, and the landlord
never heard the last of his attempt to
"get even" with his neighbor.
English Statesmen on tho Condi
tion of their Country.
Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright, the
two ablest of English Liberal leaders,
recently made addresses upon the oondi- j
tion of affairs in Great Britain. Mr.
Bright's speech appears to have awaken- j
od surprise and apprehension. He
spoke very plainly and emphatically, i
Mr. Bright referred to the gloomy cor;
ditiou of the agricultural interests. He
directed special attention to the compar j
atively small number of land owners in
tho Kingdom. Ho wanted tho com- j
mission to inquire why eight hundred
persons own nine millions of acres in
England and Wales, seventy persons
one half of Scotland, and seven hundred
own quite ouo half Ireland, lie refer
red to the manner in which English
laborers wero pauperized and English
renters were harassed and swindled. Ho
referred to the United States and the
splendid wheat growing lands of the
North-west. He was devoutly thankful
ah it the farmers of that feeotiou could
( smite with terror the men who upheld
r gigantic iniquity in England. Refer
ring to our own country, he said :
"The land whicfc has been oocupied in
, Minnesota, and West and North of that
State, is of magnificent quality for the
production of wheat; and it should not
be forgotten that that continent is the
home of fifty million English speaking
poople, and will probably within tweuty
five years bo the home of one hundred
million."
The great shortness of the crops will
add to the depression and embarrass
ments. It is already feared that thero
will be a money crisis, as large ship
ments of gold to tho United States will
have to be made to meet the payments
for wbeat.

IIIS RESPONSE TO MINISTER lIINOIIAM
AT TUE IMPERIAL PALACE OP JAPAN I
t (
Laities ami Gentlemen : —I am una
nblo to answer the eloquent speech of !
Judge Bingham, as it is in so many 1
sonscs personal to myself. I can only i
thank him for his too flattering allusions j
to mo personallj' and the duty devolving j
on me during the late war Wo had a j
great war. We bad a trial that sum- i
uioned forth tho energies and patriotism
of all our people—in the army alone
over a million. In awarding credit for
the success that crowned thoso efforts
thero is not one in that million, not one
among tho living or the dead, who did
not do his aliaro as I did mine, and who
does not deserve as much credit. It ft 1!
to my lot to command tho armies. There I
wero many others who cou'.d have coui
mauded the armies better But I did
my best, and in the fact that it was a
on the part of the people for j
the Union, for the country, tor a country |
for themselves and their children, we j
h:ive the best assurances of peace and '
the best reason for gratification over the !
result. Wo are strong and free because |
tho people made us 80. I trust wo may I
long continue so. I tliir.k we have no |
issues, no questions that need give us :
embarrassment. I look forward to peace, I
to generations of peace, and with peace
prosperity. I never felt nioro confident
of the future of our country. It is a
great country —a great blessing to us—
and wo cannot be too proud of it, too
zealous for ill honor, too anxious to de
velop its resources, and make it not only
a home for our children, but for the
worthy people of other lands. 1 am
glad to meet you here, and I trust that
your labors will be prosperous, and that
you will return home in health and hap
piness. I trust we may all meet again
at home, and be able to celebrate our
Fourth of July as pleasautly as we do
to night.
Things Worth Knowing.
Among the things worth knowiug are
these : Boiling water will remove tei
stains, and many fruit stains; pour the
water through tho staiu, and thus pre
vent it from spreading over tho fabric
Ripe tomatoes will remove ink and other
stains from white cloth, and from the
hands. A teaspoonful of turpentine,
boiled with white clothes, will aid the
whitening process. Boiled starch is
much improved by the addition of a
I little Bpermaceti or salt, or both, or a
little gumarabio dissolved. Beeswax and
! aalt will mako fiat irons as clean and
. smooth as glass. Tie a lump of wax in
a rag, aud keep it for that purpose;
when the irons are hot rub tbem with
i tho wax rag then scour with paper or
| cloth sprinkled with salt. Kerosene will
soften boots or shoes which haye been
hardened by water, and render them as
pliable KB when new It will also make
| tiu tea kettles as bright as when new >
■ saturate a woolen rag, and rub with it'
Staius may also be removed from clean
varnished furniture with kerosene.
NEVER LOADED —An cxchonge so
happily hits a subject, whieh is of local
i importance and interest everywhere, that
i we transfer tho remarks to this oolumn :
I "It is a oharacteristio of persons who
keep dogs to haro a firm and illimitable
1 faith in their amiability. It a visitor to
the houso of such a man has his neryous
system completely unstrung by two or
three dogs dashin'r at him savagely as
soon as he rings the door bell, tho owner
I invariably comes out smiling with the
assurance that the animals are a 9 harui
| less as kittens; be always regards it as
a good joko that any ono should be
afraid of beasts so gentle, so amiable
j and so fond of play. If one of the dogs
happens to bite a pieoo out of somebody's
leg, or to ohew up a ohild or two into
minoemoat, the owner regards tho per
formance with painful surprise, and is
wholly unable to aooount for the oonduot
of his pet upon any other theory than
that the victim must havo done some
thing of a peculiarly outrageous chara*
tcr to irritate the noble aniaial."

NUMBER 15-
The Kan Wbo Was Shot.
Isaac S Knllnch is the BOD of a dis
tinguished New England clergyman of
iho Baptist faith. lie was a boy of
splendid promise nearly forty years ago
[lis father decided that he must be a
clergyman, although his tastes did not
incline in that direction. He wns sent
to Waterville Maine, and subse
quently polished off at a theological
seminary. lie made friends everywhere,
and rapidly developed into an orator of
great power. About the year 1854 he
was called to take charge of the congre
gation of Treutont Temple, iu Boston,
the edifice which was burned the other
day. It was the largest and most impor
j tant "charge" in Now England. His
i fame grew rapidly. Ciowds were con
; Btantly away for want, of standing
room, but the popular and handsome
young pastor suddenly fell from his
height and became almost a fugitive.
One evening he took a lady who was
visiting bis wife, and drove her to Cam
bridge, where he delivered a very elo
: >(uent temperance lecture. On the re
| turn to his home in Huston, he stopped
: with his companion at the Lechmere
; House, iu East Cambridge. The twain
i went to a private room. Liquor was
! called for, and sent up. Then the land.
I 1 rd and servants peeped through the
j transom. * * * The story waa
noised abroad. Thero was intense ex
citement. There was a trial, resulting
iu disagreement, but Kalloch was ruined,
lie lci't the East, and has tince figured
in politics, law and religion in Kansas
and California Five years ago he was
a candidate for Senator in Kansas against
Pomeroy, but Yorke's disclosures ruined
everybody's chances but Ingalls', and
Kalloch packed his trunk and went West,
M askinyton Putt.
The Minnesota Republicans in State
Convention assembled, the other day,
. adopted a very decidedly conservative
platform. While declaring fastjb in the
Republican party and giving it due
credit for all it has accomplished, they
say : "We desire to cultivate feeling*
of good neighborhood with our fellow
citizens of the Southern States, and rely
much upon oonoiliatory treatment and
mutually friendly intercourse to produce
those good relations wbioh, in all respeoU
would prove benefioial." It would be
well for the Southern poople to accept
this friebdly advance and to set about
in good faith cultivating "those good
relations" spoken of. The Minnesota
Republicans also declare in favor of a
truo reform of the civil service that will
lead to a reduction in the number of
offices and promote economy. Measures
of eivil service reform, they say, should
be put in the form of a law and "not be
I left subject to annullment by mere exeo
i utive authority." The platform is noted
for an entire absence of stalwartism.
WALKING ACROSS THE CONTINENT.—
Peter Carlyon, a stout looking English
man, with his wife, passed through

small child aud all their wordly wealth,

been promised work at Loadviilc, which
he was gratified to learn was only 200
utiles away. They left Luzerne county,
Pennsylvania, or. the 11th of April, in
this manner, and have walked all the
way, except from Omaha to Cheyenne,
some one getting them a pass that far.
They walked about twenty miles a day,
twenty eight miles being their best day's
walk. They were out of oat>h when they
started, ana have lived from small pres.

ROSCOE ON GUNS. —"It is quite re.
-murkable," said Seuator ll : oe Oonkling
silting on hit front porch in Utioa, the
other evening, chatting with one of his
neighbors, "to note the ohangee wbioh
are constantly being made in the con
struction of fowling pieces. When I
was a lad I remember we used to have
shot guns with a bore, I should say, not
larger than the end of my thumb-
Passing through Rhode Island the other
day I saw a little red nosed man, evi
dently going a snipe hunting, who had
a double barreled shot-gun, the barrels
of which, 1 shonid say, from the passing
observation I obtained, had a diameter
fully equal to tho crown of my hat."
