MAN CK JOLLY, Tito Exploits of A Daring ??orrin? wlio Operated. In Goorgln mid Carolin?. (From tho Athens, Ga., thinner.) Many af our readers vcmcinbor "Manco" Jolly, who operated in South Carolina and Georgia soon after thc war, and wa? a terror to tlioso that wore tho blue. Jolly had a terrible accouut to scttlo with thc Yankees, and ho paid thc debt with interest. Five of his brothers had been killed during tlic war, und ho swore thai bc would kill iivo Yankees for each one of his brothers that were sluin. After a truce was declared between Jolly and tito Yankees, ho went to Texas and married. His lallicr-in-law gavo him a plantation on thc opposite sido ol' tlic river, and Jolly commenced building a house, and would SW i ai his horso that he rede while on Iiis many raids in Goorgia over to where lie was building. Ho was rotui'ulng lo his father-in-law's tor dinner, and while about midway tlic stream, "Dixio," tlic name ol' Jolly's horse, gavo out and tiley went down together, to risc no more. Jolly lias a relation now living in Athens, who has given us borne interesting accounts ol' Iiis hair breadth escapes. Manco Jolly was a very restless fel low, and could sec a Yankee a mile off. His relative says lie was in church willi him once in Hart county, und all at once Jolly became very nervous and walked out of tho church, closoly fol lowed by Iiis relation, who saw from Jolly's action that something was wrong. Glancing through (ho woods ho saw a regiment of negro soldiers coining through the woods. Jolly saw that il was too late for him to got his horse, as the black troops were nearly to where tho nu i mal was hitched, and hey had begun firing al Jolly. He ran through thu woods, the soldiers shooting al I,im all thc time. His motlier was in Hi? church and {fainted wild) slie heard the report cd' the guns. Thc soldier-, aller capturing Jolly's horse, loft and had not been gone many minutes before Jolly had called together a lew ol his followers, who wcro desperate men, and followed after Ibo soldiers. Jolly's mother and thc preacher all tried to stop him, but il was no use. His blood was up and bc intended te pay them back for shooting at him and stealing his horse. They had a skirmish with tho negro soldiers and several of them bit thc dust. Next morning Jolly rodo'into Anderson, S. (J., and informed thc commanding officer that unless his horse vas soil to his house the next day that lie would kill him and live ot his men. Thc officer knew the man ho had to deal with and soul thc horse to his house, Five thousand dollars was offered tor Jolly, and squads of cavalry wee continually SCOUl'itlg.tho country, but they always came back minus ono or two or their men, who were marked "killed'' oil the muster roll. Thc horse, "Dixie," that ho rode on all of his raids, was a thoroughbred racer, and it was foolishness for any common steed to try and catch him. Thc horse was well trained, and Jolly could make him come by a shrill whistle. Tlic boise would not allow any one lo ap proach him after dark except .lolly. If a stranger came near, bc would get perfectly frantic and kick and bite as long as they were in reach. Manco .Jolly has several relatives still living ill Franklin ami l'lbert counties. His history was written and published i.i limper's magazine, and is .said to bc very thrilling and interesting. Too Marli Lawn Tennis. (From tho rall Man Gazette.) Roliof is coming to the unfortunate people who throughout thc summer months arc compelled at entertain ments ol' thc garden party order to look on at endless games ol' lawn len nis and to applaud vigorously, though they don't earea bit about it. A now disease lias come to light in connection With Ihc game, though not lo thc play erf (who should be quite content with tennis elbow), and just apprehension of a seizure should bc quito sufficient to excuse any spectator from seeing more of tho game than beor she wants to. The form taken by thc malady is a perpetual oscillation ol'thc head, ami it has been observed to arise ja this manner. Evory lime the ball is struck over thc net, tho Oyo and then thc head follow its course; this movement first in ono direction and then ill tho oilier becomes, at thc end ol' a?S0OSOn's on looking, spontaneous, and thc victim is condemned lo ceaselessly waggle his head. As yet thor?; have been no cases on this side tho Atlantic. Adapting Himself to New Conditions.

Well, it's tho lirsl thing of tho kind that has ever come beforo my notice." "Yes, sire," said Daniel, because he bad nothing else lo say just (hen. Thon Hie hard look carno into tho .President's face again, and his voice was hard. "Daniel," he said, laying tDc bill down in front of him. "Yen, sire." "Where is my veto'" "Your wife lias ll, sire." "Um-um. Daniel, will you bc kind enough to lill up a check for thc amount?" And Daniel took tho bill. Tho Sonnie'? Verdict on Mr?. Cleveland. (Washington Dispatch to Baltimore American.) There was but ono opinion nt Hie Capitol to-day, and that was that Mrs. Grover Cleveland wus a very beauti ful woman. Indeed, there was more talk about thc young bride in thc Senate chamber among tho Senators to-day than there was about tho wed ding. Thc fow Senators who did not attend tho reception were regaled with tho most fascinating stories of Mrs. Cleveland's beauty, graco and charm ing manner. In fact, all tho Senators unite in saying that they were most agreeably surprised in thc lady. Thc members arc moro given to praise of ladies, and everywhere in the south wing, whero a few of thc members wore gathered, tho samo subject was discussed, and one and all voted Mrs. Clovolnnd charming, and Hie President was a subject of great envy to all the Bachelor member-.

By thc terms ol this will tho two sons i wcro made equal legatees witli ?ve nephews and nieces of tho dead man. ; and tlicy now claim that they should have been tho solo heirs.

Prclle ticr was arrested, tried and condemn ed to death on a charge ol' piracy. This sentence was afterward changed lo imprisonment, but Prolletler soon scaped in a rowboat. He was picked up on tho Atlantic by a steamer bound to Charleston, 8. C.? whore lie landed, afterwards coming to New York. Meanwhile his two sons, Antonio and Eugene, and Ids wife had removed to Havana, where tho latter married again, she supposing that her first band had been shot under tho sentence passed against him by Hie Haytien authorities. Mrs. Prellotlor mbbcquontly met tho husband she supposed dead; but they quarreled, and tho sons took the mother's side. Prollotler afterward sued the Haylleu Government tor $1,600,000 for per sonal damages and loss of properly.

Thc broad smooth pavements of Hie city render traveling by bicycle or tricycle both a convenience and a luxury. Hie uso of these machines has long been popular for news gathering purposes, and a number of "wheels'' may be seen, at any hour of thc day or night, about tho doors of tho varions newspaper offices.) Thc telegraph companies were early in recognizing tlie advantage of the system from a business standpoint, and furnished their messengers with bicycles. Tl o fact that the appearance of a lady upon a tricycle would be likely to attract notice, and cause more or less comment, hus until recently prevented their gener al adoption by the Indies. A number of tricycle clubs have, however, been form id among the ladies during thc past few months, and during tho course of u walk through tho streets upon a moonlight evening, one constantly meets tho tricycle riders. The popularity of Hie tricycle is in fact increasing daily, ai d if one may judge from thc onthusiosm evinced by tlie Indies who aro members of tho clubs, it is safe to predict that tho "machine" will soon achieve an even greater popu larity among thc Indies than it hus here tofore with thc gentlemen. improvements on thc li. >v n.
