Rising three feel c per hour, shoreless and boundless It roared : and carried everything before It, winding up J In victory for tbe storm, the tempest ana tbe ] billows. f On the Georgia aide of the Savannah river. not far from where old Vienna once stood, a t blgb pyramid built of olay and sand, ranging j In elevation from seventy to eighty feet, Is no more. It weut down nnder the deadly touob of the flood, and as It took Its departure a ? bitter cry of anguisb went up from many lips, c Oo Its top and at Its base huge trees grew and s waved In the winds, and while It was once tbe borne of a tribe nbknown, it Is now only C a memory. This pyramid bad been there for ] years unnumbered, and while it did not rival , the tombs of tbe Pbaroahs It bad truly been tbe realm of darkness and of death. Since It has passed away many curious things have c been found wblob speak eloquently of a barbarous past. Among tbe relics found was a heathen god. Its lace seems to be that of tbe Mongolian type, and It has a medieval look. Its whole bead Is sharply marked and beautifully formed. Its history has fearful warning t ?woe to him wbo bows to stocks and stones.

His latest Jeat Is to bag two tqulrrtls and one 'possum with no other aid than an ordinary tame bouse cat.

Mr. Clark had killed tworqulrrels and was proceeding 1 In search of other game when be noticed that tbe cat was cutting antics altogether foreign to his fel ne dignity. On Investigation It was discovered that the cat was calling attention to a very large fat 'possum that It had treed Instead of barking tbe cat was turning douole summersaults and alighted on Its bind ^ feet Just In front of tbe 'possum. Mr. Clark caught tbe marsuplan by tbe tall and brought blm bome. He was found to be fat and In | good order for eating and was promptly stowed away In tbe oven with tbe necessary potatoes. ?
