MlANCE JOLLY, The Exploits of a Daring Guer-illa who Operated in Georgia aud Carolina. (From the Athens. Ga., Banner.) Many af our readers remember "Mance" Jolly, who operated in South Carolina and Gcorgia soon after the war, and was a terror to those that wore the blue. Jolly had a terrible account to settle with the Yankees, and he paid the debt with interest. Five of his brothers had been killed during the war, and he swore that he would kill five Yankees for each one of his brothers that were slain. After a truce was declared between Jolly and the Yankees, he went. to Texas and married. IHis father-in-law gave him a plantation on the opposite side of the river, and Jolly commenced building a house, and would swim his horse that he rede while on his many raids in Georgia over to where he was buildimg. le was returning to his father-im-law's for dinner, and while about midway the stream, "Dixie," the name of Jolly's horse, gave out and they went down together, to rise no more. Jolly has a relation now living in Athens, who has given us some interesting accounts of his hair breadth escapes. Mance Jolly was a very restless fel low, and could see a Yankee a mile offE His relative savs he was in church with him once in H1art county, and all at once Jolly became very nervous and walked out of the church, closely fol lowed by his relation, who saw from Jolly's action that something was wrong. Glancing through the woods he saw a regiment of negro soldiers coming through the woods. Jolly saw that it was too late for him to get his horse, as the black troops were nearly to where the animal was hitched, and bey had begun firing at Jolly. Ie ran through the woods, the soldiers shooting at him all the time. His mother was.in the church and Ifainted when she heard the report of the guns. The soldiers, after capturing Jolly's horse, left and had not been gone many minutes before Jolly had called together a few of his followers, who were desperate men, and followed after the soldiers. Jolly's mother and the preacher all tried to stop him, but it was no use. His blood was up and he intended te pay them back for shooting at him and stealing his horse. They had a skirmish with the negro soldiers and several of them bit the dust. Next morning Jolly rode: into Anderson, S. C., and informed the commanding officer that unless his horse was sent to his house the next day that he would kill him and five of his men. The officer knew the man lie had to deal with and sent the horse to his house. Five thousand dollars was offered for Jolly, and squads of cavalry were continually scouring the country, but they always came back minus one or two or their men, who were marked "killed" on the muster roll. The horse, "Dixie," that he rode on all of his raids, was a thoroughbred racer, and it was foolishness for any common steed to try and catch him. The horse was well trained, and Jolly could make him come by a shrill whistle. The 1 horse would not allow any one to ap proach him' after dark except Jolly; If a stranger came near, he would get i perfectly frantic and kick and bite as long as they were in reach. MaInce1 Jolly has several relatives still living in Franklin and Elbert counties. His history was written and published in I arper's- magazine,. and is said to be very thrilling and interesting. Too MIuch Law~ n Tennis. (From the Pail 3all Gazette.) j .Relief is coming to the unfortunate people who throughout the summer months are compelled at entertain ments of the garden party order to< look on at endless games of lawn ten nis and to applaud vigorously, though I they don't care a bit about it. A new disease has come to light in connection with the game, though not to the play- I ers (who should be quite content with tennis elbow), and just apprehensionC of a seizure should be quite sufficient I to excuse any spectator from seeing more of the game than he or she wants J to. The form taken by the malady is a perpetual oscillation of the head, and f it has been observed to arise in this C manner. Every time the ball is struck ~ over the net, theeye and then the head s follow its course; this movement first in one direction and then in the other becomes. at the end of a season's on looking,'spontaneous, and the victim is condemned to ceaselessly waggle hisr head. As yet there have been no cases on this side the Atlantic. Adapting Himself to New Conditions. (From the Washington Critic.) "Daniel," said the Presiden~t sternly, . as he looked up from an unoflicial paper he had found on his desk. "Yes, sire," responded the Secretarye with some trepidation. "What is this?" "It is a bill, sire, for some article Mrs. C. has been purchasing."t "Unm-um," hesitated the President ; "is it? Well, it's the first thing of the - kind that has ever comec before myu notice." "Yes, sire," said Daniel, because lie had nothing else to say just theni. Then the hard look came into the a President's face again, and his vcice tI was hard. "DIaniel," he said, laying the bill y down in front of him. "Yes, sire." "Where is my veto?" a "Your wife has it, sire." o "Urn-nm. Daniel, will you be kind ix enough to fill up a check for the d. amount?" And Daniel took the bill. n The senate's Verdict on MIrs. Cleveland. ti (washtngton Duparch to LBaltimo, e American.) rn There was but one opinion at the bi Capit~ol to-day, and that was that Mrs. b<4 Grover Cleveland was a very beauti- ai ful woman. indeed, there was moretl talk about the young bride in the Hi $enate chamber among the Senators ci; to-day than there was about the wed ding. Trhe few Senators who did not attend the reception were regraled with the most fascinating~ stories of Mrs. l: Cleveland's beauty, grace and charmi- V ing manner. In fact, all the Senators PC unite in saying that they- were most w: agreeably surprised in the lady'. The an members are more g iven to praise of li? ladies, and everywhere in the south ru wing, where a few of' the members th were gathered, the same subject a was discussed, and one and all voted ist Mrs. Cleveland charming, and the re. President was a subject ot great envy Cl to all the Bachelor members. pC An old Indian bturying grotund was un t carthed by the recent highi waters of Sa- ci] luda River, half mile 1elow Amuick's Ferry, hc 'Lexington, en Mrs. S.

[he Sons of Eugeue Prelletier Fighting for His Fortune. Lawyer Frederick M. Day has been nstructed by Antonio and Eugene Prelletier, now in Havana, to enter a aveat to the will of their father, Xntonio Prelletier, which was recent v filed for probate in Chicago. By lie terms of this will the two sons ,vere made equal legatees with five lephews and nieces of the dead man, md they now claim that they should lave been the sole heirs. Prelletier nade his money in the sieve trade on he Spanish IMain. In 1450, while unnning a eargo of blacks from Cape )f Good Hope to hlayti, his two .essels were seized and conlisticated >y the Ilaytien Government. Prelle :ier was arrested, tried and condemn ,d to death on a charge of piracy. rhis sentence was afterward changed .o imprisonment, but Prelletier soon ,scaped in a rowboat. Ic was picked *ip on the Atlantic by a steamer bound o Charleston, S. C., where lie landed, ifterwards coming to New York. Icanwlhile his two sons, Antonio and Eugene, and his wife had removed to Havana, where the latter married igain, she supposing that her first iusband had been shot under the ,entence passed against him by the [Iavtien authorities. Mrs. Prelletier zubsequently met the husband she -upposed dead; but they quarreled, md the sons took the mother's side. Prelletier afterward sued the Haytien 'overnment for 81,500,000 for per zonal damages and loss of property. [Ie died just as the suit was coming to mn end, and of course the first part of liis claim was swallowed up by hi* leath. The verdict was for $54,000, .he amount of the property which had been taken from him, and the money s now in the United States Treasury awaiting an owner. Prelietier was :oncerned in many business enter )rises, including the Prelletier Paving 2ompany of Chicago, and through his :onncction with this company became mterested in a number of iammoth :ontracts in this country and Mexico. Ie died at the Astor ilouse in New York in July of last year. Female on Tricyeex. The latest feature of Washington life .s the adoption of the tricycle by ladies. [he broad smooth pavements of the city ender traveling by bicycle or tricycle oth a convenience and a luxury. The ise of these machines has long been >opular for news gathering purposes, Lud a number of "wheels" mav be seen, it any hour of the day or night, about he doors of the various newspaper )lices. The telegraph companies were arly in recognizing the idvantagc of the vstem from a business standpoint, and urnished their messengers with bicycles. Che fact that the appearance of a lady ipon a tricycle would be likely to attract iotice, and cause more or less comment, ias until recently prevented their gener Li adoption by the ladies. A number of ricycle clubs have, however, been form d among the ladies during the past few nonths, and during the course of a walk hrough the streets upon a moonlight vening, one constantly meets the tricycle iders. The popularity of the tricycle is n fact increasing daily, ara if one may udge from the enthusiasm evinced by he ladies who are members of the clubs, t is safe to predict that the "machine" %ill soon achieve an even greater popu. arity among the ladies than it has here ofore with the gentlemen. improvements on the R. & D. itailroad, The Richmond and Danville road has ust received a number of new and ele ;ant passenger coaches, the finest yet een on this road.

Our Judges never fail to lend their ofli Cial inthimeneC toward meetinig out punish ment for the theft of :a (.iw or :t h,,. 1z bit when a murier has leen committed our Judges seemi exceeding :.d to the crimi ual. They unlock our jail doori for them, and by their olficial act, create a seitiment in favor of the man who has committed the highest offence known to the hunian or the divine law-that of murder. It is ttse less to expect juries, even if they are prop erly selected, to do their idiutv, as long as the Judges do whatever lies inl their power to excuse the murderous crinitial. The exampic of our Juidges, and the acts of our juries, have taught us that it is more dan getrous to kill a i_, than it is to kill our neighibors. Unless iur Judges cease to leid their iniluence in behalf of murderers, we need not expect to see the law enforced. -Ab&idLe Prom and Bannr. The Base Ball Umtire.
