SARGE PI The Granite of Del Frc a Atlanta Ci Thirty years ago a man by the name of James Wilson came into our coun try from Aberdeen, Scotland, and when he caught sight of the granite along the Georgia railroad he said, "here I stop-this is the laud !" This Scotchman was an expert in stone cutting and knew the value that should be placed upon rich fields of granite. He settled down in Lithonia and cut out the first stone now so common on the streets of Atlanta and other cities. He is buried in the cemetery at Lithonia and his coun trymen have decorat?d his resting place in a most suitable manner by the erection in granite of unique statutes in the place where he sleeps. Long before this man of Aberdeen died he saw a verification of his good judgment on the coming importance of this granite. In a few short years he bad gathered about Lithonia a col ony of Scotch people so numerous as to make one feel in strolling there that they were along the "banks and braes*of bonny Doon," or listening to the murmer of "Afton's Sweet Wa ters." Before Wilson's death experiment had been begun to find something to take the place of granite but he al ways toldihis friends to never mind, that, they might go off for a while but that they would return to the use of granite, as nothing could take its place. This prediction has been ful- ! filled. For some time the world has been struggling to find something that would take the place of tt?is granite, and so successful did the experiments seem at one time that the industry was dead and many people fled the region, and capital was withdrawn, but a return to granite has begun, the industry has taken on life again, capi tal and people are returning and De Kalb now gives promise of being speedily what she should be, the richest county-in the world from nat ural resources. One has but a small conception of this granite supply who confine their ideas to Stone Mountain and the region thereabout. Miles away from Stone Mountain to every point of the compass stretches great fields of gran ite and hills of granite only called "hills" because of the great Stone Mountain itself which overshadows everything of its kind aod stand as one of the greatest wonders of the world. Away down on the line of Clayton from any vantage ground look ing into DeKalb, miles upon miles of granite can be seen, sometimes stretch ing in flat acres like gray prairies, then rising in "hills" like grim senti dels keeping watch over a world that is passing, to tell the tale when all else has passed away. Never touching the great mountain, enough granite could be had to build a Chinese wall around the world, and then seas of rock, if it be proper to call them seas, would remain unscar red by the hand of progress, only waiting to be turned into channels of usefulness and to things of beauty. Along with the predictions of the man from Scotland, there is another story of a man aad his faith that these mountain, are to be scattered to the four winds, but it will bc remembered that in Wilson we had the judgment of a clear, strong man of travel, an expert in rock work, in the other we have the delusion-if you so choose to call it-of an old man boot with age and smarting under what he t^ok as a wrong which crept upon him in the garb of progress and opened the eyes of those whom he wished to ever keep in the stumbling path of darkness. Long, long ago, before the hammer of the Scotchman was ever dreamed of and before these rocks had ever had a scar, this strange old man owned land and lived northeast of the Stone Mountain. He had raised a family here, as innocent as they were igno rant in their backwoods seclusion. The old man himself was rated an infidel, but his family were believers and members of a .little log church which had been built very near thc foot of the mountain, on the steep side. His family had long since dc spared of ever getting the old man to enter their little church, and nothing was thought of it when the old fellow upon every Sabbath morning filled his bow-basket with corn and salt and sauntered off to the forest to "gentle'' his cattle and hogs. This had been his custom for years upon the Sabbath mo" ngs. aud he scoffed thc idea of there being any good in churches or in preachers. So matters stood when a man by thc name of Cloud-Aaron Cloud-visited the section, bought thc great moun tain for perhaps a pony or a shotgun and announced that he was going to build a hotel and a great tower on thc top of thc mountain and turn thc place into a summer resort for folks of fashion. This all transpired, aod our strange old man soon saw his family departing from their backwoods simplicities and /I?NKETT. Kalb Coming to the Dnt. institution. taking on the airs of the fashionable people who congregated at the moun tain. It was soon plain th.it the dis sipation and extravagance so common at resorts of fashion was sure to enter and contaminate the simplicities upon which our old strange man so much doted. As for him, he never changed, save to grow sorrowful over a change he could not stem. Upou a certain Sabbath morning the old man in returning from where he had been salting his cattle and "gent ling" his hogs, chanced to pass near the little church at the foot of the mountain. He had no thought of entering the church-he had never entered. His pants were rolled up to his knees, for he had been wadiDg the streams, barefooted and in his shirt sleeves with his bow basket on his arm. He was never expected to meet the people at church, but suddenly our dd man halts-he is listening to the loud old preacher and surely some thing has caught the attention of the old man. What does the preacher say? It must be something very re I markable, for our old friend wishes to catch the words and draws nearer the church, with his hand to his ear. What does the preacher say ? "By prayer, my brethren and sisters, we can do anything-even yonder mountain, brethren and sisters, could be moved by prayer and faith-faith, brethren, faith and prayer, would scatter that great mountain like chaff before the wind !" Nothing on earth could have pleased this strange old man so much as to scatter this mountain. Scatter the j fashionable people and move the hotel and the tower and never hear of Cloud again. He liked these words of the preacher-by prayer, by faith and he whispered them as he walked nearer to thc church, even to the door, and then inside. Such commotion was never seen in a country church before. His good j old wife clapped her hands and run to j meet him, and his children shouted I for joy as they all hung upon him, while the whole congregation shed tears and went wild over the scene. Such a "big meeting1' as grew out of this incident was never seen before and many joined the church-thc old man joined. The story is too long to give all the details, but the old man became u prating member of that church and the burden of all his prayer was for the Lord to move this mountain. A storm came and blew away the hotel and shattered the tower, and Aaron Cloud returned to Griffin and from there went to Florida and has never been seen again. In time our strange old man moved up into Habersham, but he occasionally returns, as old as he is, and smiles as the trains are loaded with granite and throws up his hat when the dynamite booms and scatters thc rocks to the four winds of heaven-"like chaff before the wind" is moved this greatest of mountains, and I leave it tu the reader to say whether the old man should be cured of his delusion or live and rejoice over God's mysterious ways. But no matter what has been, the granite fields of DeKalb are greater than gold mines and they have opened up again and give thc greater promise of growing on to a fulfillment of the expectations of the grand Scotchman who was first to see their worth, but died before the time. SAUCE PLUNKETT. Getting Even. "Xow," said the lawyer who was conducting the cross-examination, ac cording tu Sparc Moments, "will you please state how and where you first met this man ?''

Miss Mary, livi?g about six miles east of Richview, 111., tell a very interest ing story of themselves, which hap pened a number of years ago. They were quite small, the boy be ing about 5 and his sister 7 years old. During the year 1858, when the State Fair was being held at Central City, 111., an aeronaut of Chicago made an ascension in a balloon at the State Fair on Saturday morning, and his balloon came down about six miles east of . there, near the country resi dence of William Harvey, Sr. The owner of the balloon, feeling chilled, went into the farm house to warm and tied his balloon to a rail fence near the barn. Little Willie and Mary were playing near the barn. They no ticed the balloon tied to the fence, and as they had never seen a balloon they walked up to take a look at it. See ing that it would go up a few feet and then back again, they thought it would be great fun to get in the basket and ride. Mary helped her little brother in and then she got in. The balloon went up and down a while ; then all at once it gave a lunge and pulled itself loose from the fence. Up and up it went, with the little Harvey children in the basket. The mother was look ing out of a window, and seeing the balloon going upwards told the aero naut that his balloon had got away from the fence, and they all went out to watch it. The mother came, and as she watched the ballon goiog up* she noticed someone in the basket. Not once did she think it was her two little children, nor could she be lieve it to bc her two children when her husband told her the children were nowhere to be found. A search was made all over the farm for the missing ones, but without re sult. The father at once drove to Rome, a short distance from his farm, and told the story. At once people followed after the balloon. It went north about five miles, then turned weat, going over Central City. Every one at the fair, thinking the aeronaut was making his return, cheered and cheered as the balloon went over. Soon a telegram was received at Central City stating that thc balloon contain ed thc two children of Mr. and Mrs. William Harvey and to keep a lookout for it. But ir. was growing late and thc balloon was traveling fast. Soon it was impossible to see it. It went south, passed through Centralia, 111., then turned west again and went over Mascoutah, 111., and then turned and went over East St. Louis. The little boy began to get cold and commenced to cry. Mary untied her apron and put it around Willie's head and he went to sleep in Mary's lap. About 7 o'clock the next morning the balloon came down in a large tree on a farm southeast of Mount Vernon, 111. The owners of the farm seeing the balloon iu their tree the lady of thc house cried out to her husband : "Oh, John ! God has sent us some childreu in a basket." John got the children out of the tree, took them into thc house, and after they were warm asked Mary who her parents were. She told them and the farmer took them home. Many of the visitors to the State Fair in 185S will remember the above story, and may bc pleased to know that the little children who made the trip are now living aud delight in tell ing it.-St. Louis (Moite-Dent oemt.

When Monkeys Played Music. In the recollections of "Fifty Years With a Menagerie," by the late Dan Hice, published iu the February 2d and !lth issues of the Youth's Com panion, occurs this story: "It may surprise many persons to learn that monkeys, despite their cleverness, are not enduringly suscep tible to the influences of 'higher edu cation,' for infinite is their innate de pravity. I found them ready enough to learn, but persistent in refusal to display their knowledge when-requir ed to do so by their patient teacher. This peculiar side of monkey nature was forcibly impressed on me when I tried to form an orchestra, or string band, among the simians of my me nagerie. "We were in winter quarters, and as it was my custom to devote my spare time during the cold term to taming and training wild animals for the next season, I had a family of monkeys confined in an apartment ad joing my reading, smoking and music room. "One morning upon nearing the cot tage my ears were greeted by the sound of my 'cello. I paused, wondering what visitor had provoked my rich toned instrument to such unseemly discord. Then I approached closely, and through a window saw a laughable scene. "Seated upon a chair, with a smok ing cap on his head, spectacles on his nose and meerschaum pipe in his mouth, was Joe, thc largest monkey of thc menagerie, sawing away at the 'cello with bow in hand. Several of the smaller monkeys were in postures of surprise and delight at Joe's per formance. I had omitted to lock the door of the monkey-room, and that ac counted for the intrusion on my sanc tum. "Highly entertained, I stood for a time a silent spectator, until seen by a little monkey, who notified its fel lows of my presence with a sharp cry. In a twinkling the animals dashed from the room-Joe, minus cap. spec tacles and pipe,bringing up the rear and carefully closing the door behind him. Upon entering the house I found all the monkeys safely ensconced in their proper room and looking as innocent as possible, while thc old ringleader was snoring and apparently sound asleep. From this occurrence the idea of trying to form an orchestra of mon keys came into my mind, for I well knew that such a troupe, even if it produced anything but melody, would bc a strong attraction."

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate liseases. and hence the mest difficult to get rid of. There is but one way to cure it. The disease is in the blood, and all the sprays, Washes and inhaling mixtures in the world cnn have no permanent effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is the only remedy which can reach the iisease and force it from the blood. Mr. B. P. McAllister, of liarrodsburg, Ky., had Catarrh for years. He writes: '.I could sec no improvement -whatever, though Ivos constantly treated with sprays aand washes, and diffcr ent inhaling remedies in fact. 1 could feel that each winter I was worse than thc year previous. ..Finally it was bromrhfrto my notice *V1 that Catarrh was a blood ?iSew- \?J disease, and after think ^?fit??

Continuing the remedy, the disease was forced out of my system, and a complete cure was the result. I advise all who have this dreadful disease to abandon, theirlocal treatment.which hasnever done them any good, and take S.S. S..a rem edy that can reach the disease and cure lt." To continue the wrong treatment for Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift's Specific is a real blood remedy. and cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases, which other remedies have no effect whatever upon. It promptly reaches Catarrh, and never fail s to cure even the most aggravated cases. u^?urely Vegetable, and is the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no dangerous minerals.
