Some Results of the Weather Bureau's Observations. Washington Evening Star. The circular on "Protection from Lightning," just issued by the weath? er bureau, contains no mention of the freaks of electrical storms which that branch of the Government service has been recording for some years past. So mysterious and little understood is the fluid electricity even now that it is so widely utilized for mechanical purposes that its vagaries in nature excite the utmost interest. The ques? tion recently discussed by Italian scientists as to whether a bird could be struck by lightning seems to be an? swered in the affirmative by the de? struction of a whole flock of wild geese on April last. Tweqty-two of them, flying north over Casnovia. Mich., were slain by a bolt from the sky. Such an extraordinary event would have been regarded as an ominous portent a cen? tury or two ago. ? Tb.0 action of lightniDg as an explo? sive is a subject that has elicited spe? cial attention from the weather bureau of late. Up to date no theory has been found to account for it satisfactorily. On April SO, 1894, a brick house at Keokuk, la., was struck, and as com? pletely wrecked as if a bombshell had done the work. One day earlier a farm house near Kiowa, Kan., the property of D. K. Streeter, was com? pletely ruined by a bolt, the roof, doors and windows looking as if they had been shot full of holes. At Bar bertown, Ohio, on June 18, 1893, the dwelling of William Martin was liter? ally torn to fragments by a similar agency. Inasmuch as 200 people are killed every year by lightning in the United States, special protection for the per? son is surely called for. One ingen? ious scientist has devised an umbrella with small copper chains attached to the ends of the ribs. These are long enough to reach the ground. A thun? der storm coming up, they arc loosen? ed and permitted to dangle, while the owner of the contrivanoe walks along in perfect security. Under such cir? cumstances metal about one's body is dangerous?for example, the wires in a lady's bonnet. But this peril may be overcome by fastening similar chains of copper threads to the frame? work of the headgear. Though a bolt should destroy the bonnet, the electricity would spare the wearer and pass offinto the ground. An instance on record is that of a lady who raised her arm to shut a window as rain began to fall on a sum? mer's day. There was a sudden blaze of light, and, though she was un? harmed, her golden bracelet disappear? ed so that no vestige of it could be | found.' A sulphurious smell was ob? served in the air. This, scientific men say, is quite usual when light? ning strikes, being due to an excess of ozone generated by the electricity. The atmosphere in its usual condi? tion contains one ten-thousandth part of ozone. When this proportion is increased inconvenience is felt by men and animals. It has been sug Se steil that sometimes persons found ead after a stroke of lightning, though showing no marks of any in? jury, may have been suffocated by ozone. Lightning does occasionally strike twice in the same place. A few years ago St. Aloysius church, in Washing? ton, suffered. A flash ran down the lightning rod to within twenty feet of the ground. Then it left the rod, passed through twenty feet of air space to a water pipe and broke a washstand. Six years later the same thing was repeated in every detail, the electricity leaving the rod at the same point, jumping to the water pipe and smashing t o pieces the washstand, which had not. been mended. The Church of the Incarcination here was badly hit some time back. To prevent a repetition of the accident the edifice was protected by a very elaborate and costly system of rods. The most im? portant rod, of course, protects the steeple. It ought to terminate in a sharp point; but the church authori? ties thought it more appropriate that it should be surmounted by a cross, on top of which was placed a rooster. Thus the usefulness of the' defen? sive contrivance has been almost whol? ly destioyed, for so it stands at pres? ent. The introduction of lightning rods in Roman Catholic countries was strong? ly .opposed on religious grounds. Pious persons declared that the devi? ces were of the devil and called them "heretic rods." It was a longtime before the churches would adopt them, though buildings of that description have always been the greatest suffer? ers from celestial fire, on account of their tall steeples. During the cen? tury a certain church in Carinthia was struok so often that services were dis? continued during the summer months. It was hit four or five times a year on an average. In 1778 a rod was put-on and there was rib further trou? ble. At Stratsund, Pom crania, a church was the scene of a very appalling oc? currence. On a Sunday, the building being full of people, a ball of fire en? tered and fell upon the altar, explod? ing and doing great damage. As to the nature of phenomena of this sort scienoe knows almost nothing. Such globular lightning is seen quite often, but nobody can guess how it is form? ed. All that can, be said is that it is electricity very highly concentrated. Balls of lightning are sometimes seen rolling along the surface of the sea. Occasionally they strike vessels. As a rule, they will burst violently with a loud noise and disastrous ef? fects. The Washington monument would have been destroyed by lightning long ago but for the protection afforded by the most complete and admirable ar? rangement of conductors ever devised. Standing 555 feet high, in the middle of a wide space of flat ground, the gi? gantic obelisk is dangerously exposed. The apex is surmounted by an alumi? num cap which is connected with rods that pass down into a well 600 feet be? low and beneath the water level. On April 5, 1885, during the passage of a heavy thunder cloud, five immense bolts of electricity, were seen to flash between the monument and the cloud within twenty minutes. No damage was done. Two months later, on June 5th, the obelisk received a tremendous stroke, whick slightly cracked one of the stones at the top, but the injury was of no importance. Big ships nowadays are usually equipped with a big system of conduc? tors running down the masts and so arranged as to carry off the lightning into the sea. In old times, fire from the skies was one of the most serious perils that threatened mariners. Dur? ing fifty years, from 1790 to 1840, no fewer than 280 vessels of the British navy were struck, causing a loss of $750,000, killing 100 men and badly injuring 250 more. When the pro? tected ship is hit the electricity pass? es down the mast into the ocean, as water runs down a pipe. She may reel under the blow, but no damage results. One of the most severe en? counters was that of the H. M. S. Fisgard, which received such a tre? mendous disoharge that the vessel ap? peared to be covered with fire, M the same moment there was an explo? sion as if a broadside had been fired from each side of the ship. She suf? fered no injury. Lightning has been known to produce a secret burning in the heart of masses of timber. In 1794, the Dictator, sixty-four guns, was struck at Martinique. Two days i later smoke was seen issuing from her figurehead, which, when cut down, was found to contain a nest of fire. The freaks of lightning are extraor? dinary. At TVooster, ?., in June, 1892, a two-story bay window was cut from the main structure of a house as if by a knife. In the same month, at Norwich, Conn., a bolt went iuto the ground and jerked out of the earth 100 feet of iron water pipei In Octo? ber, 1843, three men were struck at the bottom of. the mine shaft 330 feet below the surface. It was supposed that the lightning must have passed down in the shaft by a chain. There are many cases on record where people killed by lightning under trees have been marked in one part of the body or another with the image of a tree or of a leaf. This has been consider ered very mysterious; but it is proba? ble that such phenomena are largely attributable to imagination. Marks made by lightning are apt to be fork? ed and branched in such a fashion as to suggest likenesses of the sort to exci? ted minds. There have been instances where lightning has entered a powder maga? zine and dispersed the gunpowder without setting fife to it. This is more easily understood when it is learned that there is difficulty in set? ting fire to gunpowder by sending a charge from a Leyden jar through it. The powder is simply scattered with? out being ignited. If anything inter? feres with the free passage of the electricity, however, the powder will explode. There have been several frightful disasters caused by lightning striking powder magazines. Atmid night, August 10, 1857, a magazine at Joudpore, in the Bombay presidency, was blown up in this way, killing 1,000 residents. At Luxembourg, June 26, 1807, a magazine containing twelve tons of powder was struck, ruining a large part of the totfn. But the worst accident of this kind happened at Brescia, August 18, 1769, when 207,600 pounds of powder belonging to the republic of Venice were ex? ploded by lightning, destroying a sixth part of the city and 3,000 human beings. There are some parts of the world where at certain seasons thunder and lightning arc practically incessant, the sky being lighted continuously by vivid flashes, while the ears are deaf? ened by the roar of celestial artillery without pause. One of these locali? ties is the east coast of San Domingo, a region shunned on this account by men and beasts at the rainy time of the year. There is a little place in the republic of New Granada where nobody will live on account of the frequency of the lightning strokes. Thunder, by the way, is caused by the I electric fluid rending the air, which has not time to get out of the way. The "rolling" of thunder is due to echoes thrown back from the clouds. Practically, all of the 200 deaths caused by-lightning in the United States annually occur in the five months from April to September : the highest rate being in June and July. Such strokes are very apt to produce a condition of suspended animation. Accordingly, the weather bureau re? commends that everything possible shall be done to stimulate respiration and circulation to a person who has been struck^ even though there are no apparent signs of life. Cattle and sheep suffer from this cause much of tener than human beings ; sometimes an entire flock of sheep are wiped out literally in a flash. In nine years, ending in 1892, 2,235 barns, 102 churches and 664 dwellings were struck in this country. During the same period there were about 4,000 fires from lightning, -with a property loss of about $14,000,000.. Bisk from lightning in rural districts is five times greater than in cities. Oak trees are struck fifty-four times as often as beeches, though nobody knows why. Though physicians say that electric? ity is a form of motion, the fluid is a mystery yet. Its presence every? where helps to make it interesting. Children shuffle over the carpet with their feet and thus generate enough eleotricity to light the gas with a spark from the finger. Anybody can do that, though the carpet must be wool and Very dry, as well as the floor beneath. Tesla, the famous expert, made a light burn in his hand from electricity passing through his body. When a powerful electrical machine is being worked in a room, projecting sharp points about the furniture or fixtures are apt to be seen in the dark tipped with light. This is an artifi? cial production of the so-called St. Elmo's fire, which sometimes appears on the masts of vessels at sea, excit? ing the superstitions of the sailors. On rare occasions church steeples are illuminated in the same strange fash? ion. During thunderstorms peoples' heads have exhibited the phenomenon, each hair being terminated by a minute luminous tuft. Electricity has not always been found a safe plaything. The kite ex? periment of Franklin was repeated in France in June, 1753, by M. Romas, a provincial judge of scientific tastes. He made a kite eight feet high and three feet wide, the string being wrap? ped with copper wire. At the begin? ning of a thunder storm he raised it to about five hundred and fifty feet. In? stead of sparks he obtained flashes of fire a foot long, and three inches wide accompanied by loud noises like the cracking of whips. This performance was imitated in August of the same year by Professor Richmann, of St. Petersburg, the apparatus being set up in his dwelling. In the midst of the entertainment a large globe of bluish-white fire appeared, with a re? port like a gun. The experimenter fell back and died instantly, while his assistant was rendered unconscious. The house was filled with sulphurous vapors and was considerably damaged. Marks of burning were found on the dead man's body. In 1857 lightning drawn from the clouds was made to yield sparks ten feet in length. The ancients believed that lightning never struck deeper than five feet in the earth. The Emperor Augustus always sought refuge in a cave during i a thunder storm. Former rulers of Japan are said to have fled to safety under similar circumstances to a grot? to specially provided for the purpose, which contained a reservoir of water. The water was expected to put out the fire of the lightning. This was cer? tainly a mistaken notion. Fishes are sometimes killed by fire from the skies. In 1670 the lightning fell upon the lake of Zirknit?;, and such quantities of fish immediately float? ed to the surface that twenty-eight wagon loads were collected for ma? nure. According to Professor Charles Tomlinson, to whose work on the pro? perties of lightning the writer is much indebted, the ancient Romans believed that sealskin afforded protection against lightning. Augustus always wore such a skin. Tents were made of that material on this account. In the Avannes, for the same reason, shepherds wear snakeskins in their hats. Attempts were formerly made to dissipate storms by kindling fires id the open air, firing cannon and ringing bells, The last method !ei to many accidents. During thirty-three years in Germany lightning struck 386 bell towers, killing 121 ringers and wounding a much larger number. Chambers of glass have actually been constructed for the occupancy of tim? id persons during thunder storms. But the notion that glass is impervious to electricity is a mistake. Lightning sometimes reduces glass to powder, and it has been known to cut a circu? lar disk out of a window pane. Dr. Franklin suggested that the safest plan was to retire during an electrical disturbance into a hammock suspend? ed by silken cords in the middle of a large room. It is always best, under such circumstances, to keep away from the windows and chimneys. Epidemic of Twins. Every now and then there occurs some appalling catastrophe or devas? tating epidemic to shake one's faith. This time it is an outbreak of twins in New Hope, Pa. The modest Quaker village had, up to the time of its recent visitation, been an easy-going, quiet place, whose citizens observed all the conventional? ities of civilization. But that was in the golden age of yesterday. To-day all is changed. "It began with the butcher's wife, Mrs. Charles Johnston, and her rela? tive, Mrs. Edward Johnston. The wife of Constable Lewis Bonnet and Mrs. Ezra Hall fell into line a few days later with a pair each, all girls. When Landlord A. J. Solomon, of the Farmers' Hotel, returned home the other evening, he heard the crying of twins, while triplets sung a welcome for his friend around the corner, John Bartlett, the livery stable keeper. Mrs. John McDonald, the wife of a farm hand, and the estimable better half of the Fiev. Mr. Gray presented twins to their husbands within a few hours of each other, and the physician who attended them announced that Mrs. James Battle and Mrs. John Peterson had also done likewise. Twins was only a beginning. The dread visitation spread like the pesti leccc in the surrounding homes. The whole affected district covers only a few blocks. Yet we may go on and name the names of New Hope citizens, from the proprietor of a big paper mill to the hitherto prosperous plumber, who now suddenly find themselves hustling to support twins. Even Joshua Whitley, the oldest citizen, is light-hearted and happy with his eigh? teen children in the sight of the calamity from which he feels compara? tively secure.?Chicago Journal. Nothing About the Corpse. "When the sub-treasury scheme was burning brightly in the hearts of the Populists," said a Western mem? ber to a group of his Congressional associates in the Speaker's lobby, "the Republicans used to tell a good campaign story out in my district. An old settler in one of the Western counties of Kansas had died, and was about to be consigned to his last rest? ing place. The region was sparsely settled, and the town had no minister to conduct the services. So thoy sent for a minister from the nearest settle? ment to officiate at the funeral. "All the neighbors turned out on the occasion and fairly filled the hall in which the services were conducted. After finishing his sermon the parson called on the acquaintances and friends of the deceased to make a few remarks on his life and character; but no one responded. The preacher ordered those present to sing a hymn, and then again appealed to some one in the congregation to get up and say some? thing about the dead man. Again the silence that followed his remarks re? mained unbroken. The preacher made a last appeal. " 'Surely," he said, 'some one in the congregation will get up and make a few appropriate remarks. It would be too bad to convey our dead friend to his last repose without a tribute to his memory from the lips of one who knew and loved him as a friend and neighbor.' But no one in that con? course said a word. "At last an old man with a knotty skull and a strange face arose from a rear bench and broke the stillness. " 'If there's nobody here to say anything about the corpse,' he said, 'I'd like to make a few remarks about the sub-treasury scheme.' " Danger of Blood Poisoning. A medical paper commits itself to the statement that many lives are lost each year in consequence of the lack of a little common sense respecting simple cuts or wounds on the hands or other parts. Several cases have been recorded of inquests relating to per? sons who have died from blood poison? ing arising from small cuts on the hands. The history in all of these cases varies but little, and is practi? cally the same. A man, for example, while working at this trade, or even while carrying out the simple detail of cutting a piece of bread, receives a small cut on the hand. The injury is so trivial that anything is considered good enough with which to stop the bleeding, and this end having been attained no more is thought of it. The small wound is left to take care of itself, and is exposed to all sorts of filthiness and sources of infection. By good luck, nothing may happen ; but the public will do well to bear in mind that from the most trivial injury to the skin acute septicaemia may super? vene, and may rapidly be followed by a fatal termination. By thorough at? tention to cleanliness the untoward consequences of a wound liable to be? come infected can be effectually pre? vented. On the other hand, when the septicaemic attack has declared itself, as a rule little can be done by the sur? geon to stem the virulence with which it develops. It should, therefore, be borne in mind that so long as wounds, however small, remain unhealcd, the risk of contracting blood poisoning will always be present.?Neio York Dispatch. ?

S S for sale by Wilhite & Wil From Cabin to Castle. A rocont news item in the New York Herald affords a striking illustration of the possibilities cf life in this wonderful country. Thirty years ago Thomas Nevins, a poor farmer's boy on the estate of Lord Kilieen in County Meath, Ireland, came over to this country to seek his fortune. He set? tled at Orange, N. J., became a contractor for street build jng and railway work, and in the course of time he accumulated many millions of dollars. A few months ago Nevins got the idea into his head that it would be a fine thing to purchase the historic castle under the shadow of whoso feudal towera he had labored in his days of poverty. He found thp.t the present Lord Kilieen was in need of money and finally succeeded in persuading him to sell his residence for 3300,000. And so the ancient stronghold is now the property of a man who would not have been admitted within its gates thir? ty years ago. The castle Is rich in his? tory. It was built in the eleventh cen? tury, and sheltered the cowardly King John before bis barons bulldozed him into signing the great charter. The story shows what a man can do in this country. Many a foreigner, like Nevins, comes here poor and unknown, and before he dies makes fame and for? tune. Hut do you ever hear of a penni? less American laborer going to Ireland or to England and then coming back with money enough to purchase one of the Vandorbilt or Astor palaces? There is no such case on record. The golden prizes for brain?, pluck and industry must bo sought for in this land of prom? ise, -where every man has a fair field and a fighting chance.?Atlanta Constitution. That Incubator Baby. i New York, May 20.?Havinglain dor? mant in her wire cradie in the Kobinaon baby incubator exactly three mouths, the baby heiress of Edward Clarence Haigbt has now boon removed, placed in swaddling clothes and turned over to the manipulations of her trained nurse. Little Miss Halght, it will be remember? ed, was prematurely born on Feb. 24. She arrived three months earlier than was expected, and her mother, nee Flor? ence Hcdden Granger, died in giving her birth, after Dr. Carleton and his assistants had exhausted their scientific resources to savo the mother's lifo. Dr. Carleton dotermined to try to save the infant, and sent a hurried note to the W. F. Ford Surgical Instrument com? pany. Mr. Ford telegraphed to William G. Robinson, tinsmith, the inventor and maker of baby incubators. Robinson hurriedly drove up to the Haight man Hion with his apparatus, and the fragile, feeble and almost inanimate infant was placed inside. There she has remained for three month.", having been taken out but twice or thrice daily for a moment while her toilet was hastily made. The young lady was fed upon medicated milk. Yearning eyes watched her day and night. As she grew older and stronger she stretched her little limbs, shrugged hex wee shoulders and yawned?wondering, no doubt, what ill the fuss was about. Under ordinary circumstances she should have been born May 24, instead of three months ago, but she commenced her natural life with a three months' novel exporience. Soon she will be christened. She l^oks very comfortable in her new clothes. Sam Jones on Politics. "The Third Party or party of the Third Party, or whatever you call ,it, may get to Heaven, but they'll never get to Washington. It's not on the way. Washington is the wickedest place on earth. It is the home of the devil. The average Democrat and Republican poli? ticians are little better than rascals, but the Third Party man is a fool. You can reform a rascal, but did you ever undertake to monkey with a fool ? "They want to borrow money from the Government at 2 percent, when the Gov? ernment is now borrowing at 5. We hear a groat deal of fools talking about the rich getting richer and the poor poorer under the present laws. There never was a greater lie and I'll prove it." He cited the cases of Vanderbilt, Stew? art, Gould, Carneige and others all of whom had started from humble begin? nings. "There's nothing the matter with the law. It's the man that's at fault. There's a lawyer on that side of the House who makes ?20,000 a year. Here's a little pet? tifogger whose family is starving. The law is not to blame. It's the man him? self. Here's a physician making 810,000 a year. There's a litile doctor in the cor? ner that can't mako his salt. The law is not to blame. I preach nearly every day to 8,000 people and here'd a little preach? er sitting behind me who can't average 200. The trouble is not in the law, broth? er, it's in your noggin." "The difference is organic. If all the woalth of the United States were divided out to-day each man would get about 81,100 and in less than six months some fellows would be riding in palace cars and tbe others would be walking crossties and howling for another divvy."? Vclas co World. A [Southern Experiment. a Memphis paper calls attention to a successful farming experiment near Syc? amore, Ala. It seems that two brothers are operat? ing on a five-thousand-acre tract of land. They employ eighty-four whites and not a single negro. They raise all the food crops necessary for the people and the stock in their little community, and all the meat they need, but cotton is their principal crop. But they do not ship their cotton to northern markets to be worked up in eastern mills. A mill on the plantation manufactures the cotton into yarns and another mill grinds the seed into oil. The yarn mill cost 3113, 000 and pays a handsome profit. The success of this experiment should convince northern, farmers who are Book? ing southern homes that they can come down here and get along prosperously with white labor alone, if they prefer it. This, however, is not the main lesson taught by the Sycamore enterprise. The two brothers who are running this largo plantation have made it plain that it is possible to establish small farming com? munities in the South that will be self supporting and practically independent. The experiment suggests new possibili? ties for southern agriculture.?Atlanta Constitution. Killed by bis Mistress. Newberry, S. C, May 27.?A negro man was shot and killed in the city last night by a negro woman. She claims it was entirely accidental, but there are some who doubt this statement. It took place at the woman's house, and the facts are about as follows so far as devel? oped : Tho woman has been the mistress of tbo man for some time. It is said that they quarreled on the street in the after? noon, and those who live in the neigh? borhood say that there was quarreling at the house last night just before the shoot? ing took place. The man was outside the door when shot and the woman claims that she knew nothing of his being out thore. She says she had only taken up tho gun to move it and it went off ac? cidentally and the load went through tho door panol and killed the man in? stantly, shoot in? him through the throat. Aft9r a time the door was opened and to the surprise of those in the house, as thoy claim, they found tho dead body on tho piazza. The woman who admits hav? ing shot was arrested last night and is now in jail. _ Banditti In Texas. Lonview, Texas, May 23.?At 3 p. m. fivo robbers entered the First National Bank of Longview.

Eben Monrc, of Thomasville, Gn., has conceived tho idea of taking a band of Sou thorn Held hands to Egypt to work in the cotton fiolds thero. As tho pay is .something like 12 cents a day it is not be? lieved that Mr. Mooro's band will bo a very large one. ? Dooly County, Ga., is in a happy fi? nancial condition and one of which its people have a cause to be proud. It does not owe a cent and has ?ls,(i00 in the treasury, more than enough to run tho county both this year and tho next. The grand jury has therefore decided not to levy any taxes at all this year. ? In Now York at present oil church and school property is exempt from tax? ation. Two ainendmonts are now before tho constitutional convention of that State. Both call for tho taxation of all church property, and one of them pro? poses to tax school houses also?in fact, all property not belonging tQ the Govern? ment, State or national. ? Near Fayetteville, N. C, four per? sons standing in a yard near a bouse beard a whizzing sound and saw a ball of fire descending toward them. An instant later it exploded with a stunning report, and all four were knocked down and were insensible for several minutes. One was partially paralyzed. Near them was an ox, which was killed instantly. ? An English visitor in Washington was asked, at the Country Club, the oth? er day, what peculiar characteristics of the American people impressed him most forcibly. Without the slightest hesitation he replied: "Their love of titles. I always fancied," he said, "that you were all democrats and republicans and had a contempt for titles and that sort of thing; but I'll be blessed if I've seen a dozen men in Washington with? out bandies of some kind to their names. The whole population seems to consist of generals and colonels and senators and judges and governors." Emory Storrs. when he first came to Washington, said to General Grant: "I have found here men called general who never unsheath? ed a sword or wore a uniform; I have found men who never opened a law book called judge: men who have been defeat? ed for the United States Senate called senator; mon called governor who have aspired to the governorship of their States but never got even so far as a nom? ination, and now I'd like to know what sort of a title is given to a genuine, straight-out, bona fide notary public." His Circus. "I say, John, did yc see the circus?" yelled a little boy to another, last eve? ning. "No-o-o-o, I didn't see the circus," snccringly said John, who had been kept in the house for disobedience. "Humph I You ought to have been there ; biggest show you ever seed; elephant and camel and boa contwist ers and?and everything ! Iflcouldn't go to the circus I'd run away." "Who wants to go to your old cir? cus?" yelled John. "I had a circus all to myself. Tied the milk can to the cat's tail and the cat knocked down two flower pots, and smashed the cucumber frame, and broke a pane of glass in the dining room window. Git away wid yer old circus; been to more'n four hundred, and did'nt have so much fuAL and didn't git licked, nuther;" and the boy who had been to the circus felt as if he had got hold of the castor oil bottle by mis? take.

The migrating instinct is uncon controlablc in birds that have it at all. Geese hatched from the eggs of the wild variety, though they have no opportunity of learning, take wing in the fall and fly off to the South ; if their wings be clipped they will walk off as fast and go as far as they can. ? The father of all the wills and the most ancient document of its kind known to the historians and antiquar? ians, is that of "the great King," Sennacherib, who is frequently men? tioned in the Scriptures, and also by Herodotus and Josephus. Senna? cherib lived and reigned between the years 702 and 6S0 B. C, over 2,500 years ago. In the will, which is writ? ten upon a tablet of clay, and which ' wa3 found by the excavators who were I exploring the site of the royal palace, the "great invincible" wills his sons j "certain stores of precious things" at that time deposited in the Temple of Nebo. These same sons afterwards killed their father "while he was en? gaged in worshipping his private God." ? J. W. Joiner, jeweler, of Albany, Ga., is a subject of congratulation among friends over a piece of great luck which has fallen to him. Satur? day Joiner attended a public sale of the personal effects of the late General Henry Morgan and purchased the General's old leather trunk for the insignificant sum of ?2.10. To-day Mr. Joiner made an investigation of the co~fcnts, and among other things found _. : United States bonds, two of $1,000 each and four of $100 each, aggregating $2,400. The bonds are all 5 per cent interest bearing, issued in 1864 under an act approved in 1864, and due in 1904. The accrued inter? est of the bonds, which has been run? ning for 30 years, makes Joiner's bar? gain a big one. Nobody knew Morgan had any property.
