No matter how old a man gets or how badly he is steeped in sin, if be has a dear old grandmother and don't love her, then he is not any good, and a place to polish the boots of hold-over republicans-ander Cleveland's administration would be a berth entirely too good for him. I've got a grandmother?a dear, good old soul?and Bhe is now n earing the century mile-post in life's pilgrimage, but still Bhe is the s&me sweet disposed creature Bhe was when I first knew and loved her a few years after the historic battle of Peacbtree creek was fought. Father Time has dealt gently with grandma in many respects. Her step ib feeble and tottering. It takes the voice of State Treasurer Hardemau to converse with her understanding^', but her beautiful head of raven black bair has few streaks of gray and the crowfeet in her once beautiful face are not so numerous as in many who have spent fewer years in this mundane sphere. Just why it is, I don't know, but grandma always, or at least ever since I can remember, has thought a very great deal of me, although I knew I never deserved her love and there are grandchildren and great grandchildren almost innumerable who are prettier and smarter and who claim a latch key to the gates of the mystic beyond. A few nights ago I spent at the home of grandma one of the happpiest nights of my life, It was the first time I had been there in more than ten years and this visit has only made me regret that I oversaw anything except my humble home in the country?that I ever knew what city life was. After an abscence of several years in large cities, I returned to Atlanta, and Thursday, While worried and fretted with fruitless efforts to pay pressing bills and meet numerous obli? gations, I iresolved to go to the country ?id Bpend the bight with grandma. Af? ter a fashion, riding part of the way and walking the rest, I got there and the dear old soul was sitting on the front porch knitting,softly humming the sweet old hymn, "There'll Be Best Beyond The River." I walked down the long shaded lawn, through the yard of fragrant cud beautiful flowers and up the steps before my presence discovered. That motherly face was turned toward me for abrief moment, and then my arms were around ber neck and her's encircled mine. More than one tear trickled slowly down her cheek before she said: "My boy, God bles3 you ; I am glad to see jou again." And. then, after a little time, grandma and I sat down and we had one ! of those good old talks. She asked me about every member of the family indi? vidually, and after a litt;e While, forget? ting herself, would go through the same interrogating process. I forgot all about my troubles and answered them just as often as they was asked. There are four I maiden aunts-?the best women who ever lived?who very sensibly don't feel dis? posed to support a husband. They came out and when I had kissed- them I felt and knew that I had kissed true and good I women. We talked a while longer and then we went back" into the old familiar dining room and after we were seated around the table I was called upon tossy grace. I did the best I could and then we began to devour the good things. I ate nntil I was ashamed of myself and then quit. But a half fed city man who can't eat gormandizingly of a good country supper be does not know what is good. Usually grandma and the girls retire with the chickens, but they didn't that night. After supper we went back out on the porch, and until after 10 o'clock we talked and talked. They told me how land had increased in value, how the boys were prospering, how the neigh? boring girls hai married off, and a thous? and other things, and I told tbem of the ups and downs I had been through with, of the sights I had seen in the many places I had been. But bye-and-bye we left the porch and the flower-perfume laden air and I was shown into a room and to bed?a great big soft feather bed, covered with milk-white sheets and spot? less counterpane. I didn't say any pray? ers. I felt good enough not to, and in a short time I was sleeping as soundly and innocently as au infant. Before old Sol came peeping over the hill next morning I was up, dressed and out on the porch again. And such a morning I The air was fragrant with the richest and sweetest odors from the hun? dreds of flowers which bedecked the yard. Ail was quiet and serene and I felt that I never wanted to see ' the city again. I was entirely happy and satisfied, bat af? ter breakfast?and such a breakfast?I started back to the city, and here I am? the same hard worked, poorly paid man, who has only had a slight insight into the solid comforts of a home in the coun? try. R. A. P. Improvements In Ice Making. Immense quantities of artificial ice are now produced with aqua ammonia by means of the absorption process, some of the moBt exquisite specimens of modern machinery being employed in the manu? facturing operations. Aqua ammonia of twenty-six degrees Baume is introduced into the generator or retort, where it is heated by steam, thus expelling the am? monia gas; the gas, ascending into the stand pipe of the generator, is rectified, and becomes 100 per cent pure and com? pressed by its own natural accumulation, until sufficient pressure is obtained to force it through pipes to the condenser ; in the latter, by the aid of cold water, in which the pipe coils are submerged, it changes its form into liquid ; it is now allowed to expand and pass into the coils submerged in the brine of the freezing tank, where it does the work of refriger? ation by absorbing the beat, and then passes into the ebaorber, combining there with the water that was left remaining ia the gen er * tor, and which bad in the meantime also entered the absorber for the purpose of a reunion?this reunion resulting in bringing back the product to its original form, viz : aqua ammouia, aad from this stage the operation is ready to be repeated. The ammonia pump starts the process afresh by pump iog the aqua ammonia into the genera? tor and thus it goes on as before. ? An Australian inventor has just perfected ii method of plowing with the help of dynamite. The explosive is used iu very small quantities, and there is an apparatus for touching it off underground. The result of this is to thoroughly disin? tegrate the soil. It is asserted that there is no possibility of a serious ex? plosion, xod that owing to the small q.iantiiv >?;' ynamite UBed the cost is very little, whi'e the resulting benefit is Rolled in a Barrel. "Along in the 70's," said a guest at a Detroit hotel the other evening, "I was a deputy United States marshal in Tennes? see, and yon will find it on record that I have brought a great many moonshiners to law. I am free to admit that I feel sorry for most of them, but they were law breakers, and it was my duty' to hunt them down. In the summer of 1876 I got a month off and I determined to do a little prospecting in the Cumberland Mountains. My headquarters were at Clinton, almost smith of Cumberland Gap, ind one day I got ready and started off, having a pack on my back and a re? volve/ on my hip. "An I wasn't looking for moonshiners, it did not occnr to me that I wonld rnn any r'sk. In fact, I hadn't done any work to speak of in the direction of the Gap, and flattered myself that I would not bo recognized up there ae a revenner. Everything went all right for three or four c ays, and then I happened along to a hojse-raieing one afternoon. The event bad called together about thirty mountaineers, and for the first ten min? utes I was royally entertained. Then an old man came out of the bush and gave me away to the crowd. He was an old mountaineer whom I had captured and convicted about twenty months before and be was sent to your bouse of correc? tion here in Detroit for twelve or fifteen mont'is. ? "I stood np and lied like a trooper, for my life was at stake, but he was equally as earnest in bis assertions About one half the crowd believed me, and the oth? er half him. If they'd all believed his story it would have been good bye to earth with me, for those men do not re? gard It as a crime to put a revenue offi? cer under ground. As the case stood they 3id not think it just to kill me, but yet they wanted to appease the wrath of the old man who had suffer? ed in prisonment. It was, therefore de? cided to give me a ride in a barrel. They they had a big one and a stont one with wate; in it. They emptied out the water and ordered me to get in. Of course I protected and argned and coaxed, bnt it was i o go. To save myself from greater violence I got into the. barrel and they tied ropes over the open end to keep me in. "Jist in front of us was a side hill which descended into a valley a qnarter of a mile away. To tell the honest truth I didn't anticipate it was going to be much of a shower, as the saying is, and was i lad to get off so easy. I expected to be a little dizzy at the end of the voyage, bnt that wasn't going to use me np. When all was ready they tipped the barrel over and let 'er go Gallagher. It hadn t got fairly started before I found that I was off in my calculations. While it wasn't a tight fit as to breadth, I being a smi.11 man, it was as to length. Hav? ing to scronch to save my bead, I couldn't get a brace, and simply rattled around like a pea in a quart bottle, j Gentlemen, i hope to live a tbonsand years, and if I do I shall never forget one turn of that barrel. It was like nothing abovH or below the earth. It was a sort of combination-of going np in a balloon, falling down in coal mine and being whipped around a shaft revolving 500 times a minute. I wouldn't have be? lieved that anything created by the band of mm could revolve as fast as that barrel did. "It makes me seasick to even tell the story I felt as if my head and legs had been severed, and the pieces were tum? bling over each oiber. Talk about an eternity of time I Why, I have always belie red it took that barrej ninety days, with three days grace added, to get down that -rill and half way across the valley ! I wa;. in it when it finally Btopped, bnt I had lost consciousness long before. They took me out and carried me to a cabin, and put me to bed. It was one hour before I gained consciousness, and two days before I could stand on my feet. I waf "barked" from bead to heel, and it was a week or more before anything would stay on my stomach. When I fi? nally felt able to walk the whole earth seemed to be rolling over and over, and I had to hire a cart to get down to Clin? ton. It was a full year before I was en? tirely rid of tbe sensation, and I tell you I never want another experience of tbe sort. Tie me onto a wild horse a la Ma zeppa?ride me on ? rail?give me a seat on the back of a Texan steer or a Kansas eyclcne, but don't roll me in a barrel dowr- a side hill in Tennesee or any oth? er SUte._ Hamilton's Thirteen Trees. Ic is an odd fact, says the New York JRecwder, that the thirteen trees which Alexander Hamilton planted near his coun try house, the Grange, to symbolize the original States of the Union, and whica are still standing near the old mannor house on Convent avenue, be? tween One Hundred and Forty-second and One Hundred and Forty-third street, have kept pace with tbe growth of thi) States which they represent. For instance, New York State is repre? sented by tbe largest tree, standing in the center of the group. Close to it Btancs tbe next largest, representing the State of Pennsylvania. Rhode Island is represented by the smallest tree, which is a mere baby by the side of the others, and the crooked tree is called South Car? olina. It has taken an abrupt turn and grown perceptibly out of the grove; then it turned again just as suddenly and grew up straight. South Carolina was the first State to secede from the Union. Since peace has been restored, how? ever, she has been one of the moat thrifty and flourishing of the Sonthern States. Tbe bouse is now used as a Sunday School room. It was Hamilton's real dene; at tbe time of his duel with Aaron Burr in Weebawken in 1804. ? A man in Texas died from a bite on the l'p from a fly. Have used and recommended It to my friends.

BRAOFIELO REGULATOR CO., For wie by all Druggists. atuuixa, GA. The Crack In the Bell. Of course, you have all seen the old independent bell, or will see it. What an interesting relic it is, anyway, and what enthusiasm it awakened on its triumphant tour to Chicago. How the boys and girls crowded to see it, wreathed it with green, crowned it with flowers, bedecked it with bunting, and yelled at top of their voices. President Cleveland did not create half as much enthusiasm as this old cracked piece of metal. Now, do not jump to the conclusion that it is better to be cracked than to be President, for I do not suppose you will get any. body to agree with you. The old bell has had trouble. It met with a great misfortune, because it was not able to hold its tongue. A great many people get into trouble in the same way. It used to ring out its clear, joyous notes for freedom and independence; but it will never again "proclaim liberty throughout the land, and to all the in? habitants thereof." Its lips are hushed forever. It has uttered its blessed pro? clamation, and now rests on its laurels. We are sorry, for we need it for a new declaration of independence, when the chains of bad habits shall be broken. But the metal lips are bushed. Let the human lips .try to do what the brazen ones can not. I have been thinking to-day that this is not the only bell with a crack In it. For instance. I know a young man who Is very bright and companionable. He is a good neighbor, kind and generous. He would befriend anyone in trouble; , but be will drink, and, what is worse, he will get drunk. That is the crack in the I bell. I know a young lady who is as happy as a lark; she is sprightly and witty and lovable?has, in fact, many beautiful traits of character. She is helpful in the home and in the church. She is thought? ful and kind in sickness, aud is one whom you would delight to know. But when I see her walking along the street - chewing gum, or exercising her molars in the same way in a fashionable parlor, it is bard to keep from Baying tbat is the crack in the bell. I know a lad of fine appearance. Per? haps you know bim, too ; but I will not tell you his name just now. Yon will see him most any day on the street. He is full of fun?fairly bubbles over with it on the least provocation. Ask .him to run an errand, and he is off with a bound and a whoop. But be thinks it is smart to stick a nasty old toby between bis pretty teeth and transform himself into a sort of two-legged steam engine, using his sweet, rosy lips as a smoke stack. That ia the crack in the bell. I know another lad who would not stain his lips with filthy tobacco for love or money. He says it is not manly, and he is right. He would not play cards, or throw dice, or go into a saloon for any? thing, because, be says, good men and boys do not do such things ; and I have no doubt you will all agree with him. But the other day be wanted to go a fish? ing, and bis poor, tired mother said she wanted him to stay in the bouse tbat afternoon and watch the baby. And what a mouth he did ma'.e 1 There he sat and pouted and whined: "I want to go a-fishin'." That is the crack in the bell. I am very much afraid that all the little bells are more or less cracked at times, and that tbe old Independence bell is not so much of a curiosity after all. And I rather suspect if some of the older folks would look around the rim of their character tbey would find a little crack somewhere. But there is a differ? ence between tbe boy and tbe bell. The bell can not repair itself, but tbe boy can. He can make bis character so pure that every note will ring out clear and sweet. Ask your teacher bow to fix up a cracked character.?D. JR. Miller in Young Christian. How to Kill Hawfis. In reply to M. B. 3., of GdfineylCity, as to tbe fatality to hawks eating chick? ens-that have been fed on nux vomica, I will say from experience it is not, but the following, if strictly and carefully followed, will kill hawks without fail, and if persisted in will exterminate them from almost any community. Hawks almost always eat tbe brains of their prey first. Now shut up all the chickens', ex? cept the brood most likely to be attacked by the hawks, take chrys tali zed strych? nine (don't use the powdered, as it is very often worthless,) pulverize it, add a little soot or lamp black to make the part dark, to prevent the chickens from eating it off of each other. For each chicken take as much of the paste as you can hold on tbe point of a pen knife, put it on the top of the bead, down well into tbe feathers. Turn the chickens out where the hawks can get them, and you will kill a hawk for every chicken lost. On several occasions I have found tbe bawk dead with the chicken in his claw, having only finished his favorite morsel, the brains. One application is good for a week or more, if not washed off by heavy rain or heavy dew. Bear in mind, strychnine is a deadly poison.?Southern Cultivator. - m ? m There Was no Duel. A certain Irishman, having been chal? lenged to fight a duel, accepted tbe con? ditions after much persuasion. His an? tagonist, a lame man, walked on crutch? es. When the place for the shooting had been reached, the lame man's seconds asked that he be allowed to lean against a mile-stone which happened to stand there. Tbe privilege was allowed, and tbe lame man took his stand. The Irish? man and his seconds drew off to the dis? tance agreed upon, one hundred feet. Here Pat's courage suddenly failed him, and be shouted to the lame man : ?'I've a small favor to ask of ye, sor." "What is it?" asked the cripple. Pat answered: "I tould ye tbat ye might lean sgin the mile post, and now I would like the privilege of leaning agin tbe next one." The laugh that followed spoiled every? body's desire for a fight, and tbe whole party went home without a shot having been fired. ? John S. Prince, of Houston, Tex., the champion cyclist of the world, who is in training for the World's Fair, accomplished a marvelous feat a few days ago. He rode twenty miles on a track, racing against two horaes, which relieved one another at the end of every mile, each horse having a jockey to save time in relaying. The wheelman came out ahead by sixty feet, doing the twenty miles in fifty-two minutes. The last mile was done in a small fraction over two minutes, Where tue Apostles are Burled, All that now remains of tbe Apostles of Christ are in the following places Seven are sleeping the sleep of the juat in Rome, viz.: Peter, Philip, Jame* the Leas, Jude, Bartholomew, Matthias and Simon. The remains of three like in the kingdom of Naples: Matthew at Salerno, Andrew at Amalfi, and Thomas at Orto na. One, James, the Greater, was buried in Spain, at St. Jago de Compostello, Of tbe exact wereabouts of tbe remains of St. Jnbn the Evangelist there is much dispute. Mark and Luke are buried in Italy, tbe former at Venice and the latter at Padua. St. Paul's remains are also believed to be in Italy. Peter 1b buried in Borne in the church which bears his name; so, too, are Simon and Jude. James tbe Lesser is buried in the Church of the Holy Apostles. Bartholomew in the church en that island in the Tiber which bears bis name. The "Legends of the Apostles" places the remains of Matthias under the alter of the renowned Basilica. ? She was a frivolous young woman with young men galore, but one with only a small income seemed to be tbe favorite. ''.You'll have to work hard before you win that girl," said his moth? er. "And a good deal harder after you win her," answered his father, who knew what he was talking about. ? Mrs, Standford, the widow of the millionaire, is said to possess $2,000,000 worth of precious stones of one kind and another. They repose in a black burg? lar-proof safe with a time lock. One feature of the collection is a diamond necklace worth $000,000. Her sets of diamonds include one of pink diamonds, one of blue diamonds with most attrac? tive violet rays, a third with diamonds as yellow, and very nearly as big as canary birds, and a fourth of diamonds of pure white. ? Flowers may be kept fresh for a long time by putting a pinch of soda into the water in which they are held. Tbey should not be gathered while the sun is shining upon them, but early in tbe morning or after tbe sun has been down for an hour. To revive wilted flowers plunge the stems to about one-third of their length into boiling water. This will drive the sap back into the flowers, causing them to become fresh. Then cut away tbe third of the stem which has been heated and place the flowers in cold water.?New York World. ? An Oconee county farmer gathered over eight bushels of turnip seed from 110 tops. ? It has been demonstrated this sum? mer that lightning strikes moving trains, and strikes twice in the same place1 ? Near Brenbam, Tex., a man "played ghost'' and endeavored to frighten a friend.

Mrs. Cleveland and Ruth have gone to Gray Gables, Mass., to spend the sum? mer, and the President will join them next month to remain until the last of Au? gust. ? A little girl in Marshall county, Ala? bama, wandered off from borne and was found peacefully sleeping in the woods, with her head pillowed near a large rat? tlesnake which had not harmed her. ? After a recent terrific hail storm in Southeast Georgia the farmers in some sections gathered wagon loads of the hail stones and hauled them home, to be used for ice. On the line of the South Bound railroad it is reported the hail stones were piled up to waste deep in the ditch? es. ? A steamboat has been fitted tip as a gambling hell at Memphis and now nigbtly pursues her course up and down the river, equally removed from Arkan? sas and Tennessee. Her decks and cabin are ablaze with electric lights and tbe tiger may be hunted'on any kind of cloth. She seems to have the call on the authori? ties of both States up to date. ? The yearling thoroughbreds from tbe famous Belle Meade Stud of Tennes? see, the joint property of Gen. W. H. Jackson and Mr. Richard Croker, were sold at Tattersails, New York, Monday evening, fifty-eight head bringing 879,400, an avorage of $1,369 eaob. Michael F. Dwyer was the heaviest purchaser, pay? ing 824,700 for ten head. ? T. J. Edwards, of Worth county, Ga., lost a fine milch cow under strange circumstances. Her horns were very crooked, and from tbe position in which she was found afterward it is supposed that in pawing at the flies, which are troublesome, she hung her foot to her horns, and died before she was discover? ed. ? An Australian inventor has just per? fected a method of plowing with the help of dynamite. Tbe explosive is used in very small quantities, and there is an ap? paratus for touching it off underground. The result of this is to thoroughly disin? tegrate tbe soil. It is asserted that there is no possibily ofaserious explosion, and that owing to the small quantity of dyna? mite used the cost is very little, whilo the rosulticg benefit is enormous. ? Mistaken ambition is now spoiling too many good ditchers and delvers and to make poor politicians and profession? al men. It is putting too many in the pulpit who could serve the Lord much better planting the mild-eyed potato or harvesting the useful hoop pole. It is causing too many young ladies to rush into literature instead of the laundry, to become "poets of passion" instead of au? thors of pie. ? The Gould estate is said to have in? creased in value about 80,000,000 since the death of Jay Gould. The other day it was said that it had decreased exactly this amount in value. George Gould is said to be the equal of his father in tbo matter of shrewd dealing. The amount of stock that is hold as a family estato, in which all the heirs participate, is $30,000 000 of Western Union, 815,000,000 of Man? hattan, and 825,000,000 of Missouri Paciffic ? The Baptists and Methodists of Chi? cago still keop up the fight against opon ing the World's Fair on Sunday. The Rev. P. S.
