Dr. D. H. Brown, of Sharpsburg, is the
envied possessor of a razor that is known
to bo more than one hundred years old,
and its history is as interesting as its an
tiquity is remote. It was originally the
property of Thomas Jefferson, and the
legendary assurance has been handed
down from generation to generation tnat
it is the identical blade with which the
pioneer exponent of Democracy sacrificed
his countenance on the day that he formu
lated the Declaration of Independence.
It was manufactured in 1776, and the date
of its manufacture can be plainly seen on
the blade now. It was presented by Jef
ferson to a distant relative of Dr. Brown’s
father, and has been an honored heirloom
in the family ever since. Dr. Brown says
it is the best razor be ever used, and it is
so highly esteemed in the community that
his neighbors drop in every Sunday morn
ing to try its edge on tuelr hirsute chins
and jowls.
At Macon Wednesday morning Sarah
Robinson was brought from the county
jail to answer the charge of being acces

Jim Moore on the person ol Mamie Little,
She was brought before Judge Freeman,
and, on motion of counsel, he passed the
following order, which fully explains the
case: “The prosecution and Solicitor
General announcing tout they abandon
the charge of felony, as charged, and ask
ing that the case proceed under section
4744, lor keeping a lewd house, defendant
waives examination, and it is therelore
considered, ordered ami adjudged that the

pearance at the next term of the Superior
Court, to be held in and for the said eouu
ty of Bibb, on the fourth Monday In Octo
ber, 1886. This Septembers, 1886.” This
settles, lor the nonce, the last relic of the
celebrated Moore-Little tragedy, and
leaves to the grand jury and tb e Superior
Court the job of ferreting out the in
wardness of the case.

Tallahassee Floridian: Two or three of
the leading planters ol Leon county last
spring determined to ms ke an experiment
with ramie this year. Mr. John S. Wtu
throp is the only one we have heard from
thus tar, and he Is entirely satisfied with
the result and regards ramie as a sure
and sale orop for large and small farm
ers. Tne roots are planted in rows four
feet apart and from six to twelve inches
in the rows. The plant Is perennial, aud
the roots spread and rend up numerous
stalks several feet, in height. Thirty
thousand roots to tee acre Is not an un
usual crop, with four or five times as
many stalks, find, in our climate, three
cuttings ft year may surely he relied
upon, and sometimes four. Mr. Winthrop
made his first cutting about June 25, and
last week he made a second uniting, the
stalks averaging fully five feet in length.
Mr. Winthrop will send a bundle to New
Orleans and ono to New York, where
there are machines for working the ramie
—separating tho ffbre from the stalk, etc.
The product from ramie is used in
the manufacture of various fabrics—
silks, plnsheo, velvets, reps, ducks,
linens, jeans, and even luces and
many other articles In common use. Mr.
Winthrop has demonstrated tnat ramie
can be successfully grown in L->on coun
ty, and it is hoped tbat a sufficient num
ber of persons will engage In its culture
to secure tho placing of a decorticating
machine here to work up tho crop at
once. Ramio can be grown with little
labor, the cost of handling is T -ry small
as compared with cotton, Had it does not
Impoverish land like cotton; in fact, tho
strippings from tho stalks are an oxcsl
lent fertilizer.

from the meteor. Ten minutes alter
the meteor passed over the en
ure citv was swaying gentiy like
a ship riding a geutle swell. The shock
came from the southeast and passed off
northwest, lasting about a minute. Doors
and windows rattled, lamps swayed vent
ly. In Mr. M. Modi in’s home a quantity
of water was jostled from the water
bucket to the IV-or. In Hon. W. T. Or
man’s home both clocks in the house
were slopped and had to be started again.
A suae houses the shoek was very per- I
optibie, the houses shaking like reeds in
a wind. At otlior houses the shock was not
telr mncii. Canf.Jsmes Williams describ
ed the effect at St. George lighthouse as very
p rceptioir. He says that just before the
shook, which cams southwest, a low, rum
bung sound-like the discharge of heavy
cannou was heard. Then came the shook,
which lasted aoout one minute, A por
tion of the stepping to the dwelling house
was broken loose from ihe house, the win
dows rattled loudly and the dwelling
swayed considerably. One ladv in the

of the plastering overhead fell to the floor.
Being alone with her children she became
thoroughly frightened and rau up the

years ago a shock similar to the one ol
Tuesday night was felt In the city.
THEY GROW LARGE IN CALI
FORNIA.
Not, Only Pumpkins and Pears and
Redwoods, but Snake Stories, Too.
From th CalaveraH Chromate ,
Anotlur big snake has been seen in
Calaveras. Our informant is Mr. A.
Lascy, Deputy United States Mineral
Surveyor, who resides at West Point. Mr.
Lascy and his son, Frank, were on a trip
into the mountains. They had reached a
point on the old emigrant road, near the
Big Meadows. Mr. Lascy, Sr., is per
fectly familiar with the whole of that
mountain country, and had decided on a
camping place a few miles further on.
But coining to an old log cabin on the
road, in which Mr. Lascy put up before
while on surveying trips, they concluded
to take a look into the cabin, water their
horses from a spring in the gulch below,
and possibly make that their camping
place. They accordingly stopped their
team, got oiit, and proceeded to explore
the cabin, as it looked very dilapidated,
the roof being partly crushed in by tne
weight of winter snows. Mr. Lascy lot
lowed by his son, went to the low cabin
door, which was closed, but not locked,
pushed it open and stooped to enter, when
he was struck with terror at the sight of a
mon-ter reptile, whioh, for size and nuie
ousness of appearance, surpassed any
thing that he bad ever seen or that he
ready believed did exist on land. He
never was a believer in the big snake
stories that he had heard, but he avers
that every particle ot incredulity that be
ever posssssed regarding these reports
was completely kt.osktd out at sight of
this living specimen of a monstrous
re utile.
Tie cabin is 16 feet by 16 feet. The
snake lay stretched across the cabin with
iis head sear and facing tl e dooi, and its
tail reaching to the opposite side and
partly coiled againstsome stones that had
oeeu used fora fireplace. With iis head
elevated about three feet from tho floor
and drawn a 1 ttle backward by the
stately curve of the neck, evidently to
make room for the swing of the opening
door, the huge monster iaced his intrud
ers. Both men carried r.flcs, and as the
eluer Lascy started back, the son brought
his rilie to his shoulder and fired at the
reptile’s head. Mr. Lascy, quickly recov
ering himself, fired also, and almost at the
same time. There was a terrible shuffi
ing sound for a second end like a flash the
snake scaled the wails of the cabiu
through an opening olose to the eaves and
disappeared, and us he was going over a
piece of his tail fell from tho wall to the
floor. Wnether both shots had effect or
not it cannot be said, but one shot
certainly did, but mi-smg the h ad struck
the tail, which was in range on tbeop
posile side against the rocks, and in going
over tho wall it was torn from its slender
hold. The severed piece was six leet in
length, and about the middle was the size
of a man’s waist. Mr. Lascy brought the
'ail home as a proof of his adventure.
Tue snake was at the least 16 feet long.
The body was immense, as can be judged
by the tail, ana as it lay upon the floor,
partially flattened, it appeared to he fully
eight, inches in breadth. It was covered
with alternate black and white rings.
Mr. Lascy says that from the fright which
■he sudden and unexpected sight occas
ioned and the r.ipi 1 disappearance of the
reptile alter the shooting—for after they
fired they quickly retreated from theiloor
—it is impossible to give a minute do
scription of the appearance of the mon
ster, other than its color and enormous
size.
HOIV TO TAP THE CLOUDS.
Ex-Judge Womibridfte Strong’s Nov
el Method for Producing Rain.
From the Faw York World ( Dem.)
Justnow people in New Brunswick are
suffering severely from the long-continued
drought. No rain has fallen for weeks,
and tne streets are dusty, while the ex
treme heat all through the city causes
considerable suffering.
During all the while ex-Judge Wood
bridge Strong has been thinking busily
with his ever-planning, shrewd and skill
ful brain. The great question in his mind
has been: How can the droughts oi sum
mer he averted? He pondered over this
subject through long and torrid days,
through hot and restless nights, and at j
last the answer suggested itself.
His idea, to put it briefly, is to bring
rain from clouds by concussion. He
claims that if k' gs oi dynamite or nitro
glycerine or oi some other powerlui ex
plosive are hoisted up into the clouds by
aid of balloons and are fired by electricity
the explosion will produce rain in propor
tion to the amount of the explosive
used and the loifte ol the shock caused
thereby.
“It wouldu’t do,” he admits, “to send
the dynamite up In iron casks, for the
falling fragments might do considerable
damage. All that is needed to br.ng
about a storm is a small and cheap bal
loon fastened to a wooden cask filled with
dynamite. An electric spark could be
communicated along a wire as soon as
the air-machine had reached the desind
height, and rain would lollow quicklv.
The explosion would burst the clouds.
The woodou incasement would he all
blown to splinters that in falling would
do uo damage.
•Tbits storms all over the country
might be regulated, if the government
would take up my idoa and establish
rain producing stations all through the
United Statos. By this method man
would control tne heavens almost as well
as the earth. Cyclones, tornadoes and
hurricanes as well as droughts would ail
he done away with, for the clouds would
not be permitted to reserve their contents
from one section until they had gorged
themselves with wate" for the purpose of
flooding rivers elsewhere and sweeping
away emlre towns. The plan, 1 think, is
a feasible one, and I am going to wntu out
tuy id 'as and publish them in some scien
tific journal. Why don’t I experiment
myself before launching out my idea
upon tne world? I havo neither
the time nor money, but 1 believe thor
oughly that the thing may bo mado a
success.”
“CfIiLnREN,” ssul s Dakota school teacher,
“from tho noise outsldo 1 think a dog fight in
going on. You are all excused, smi ds,v go
out and watch it. Don’t get in a hum hero;
it will look better to lei yoor teacher go tir.i!”
and he shot out of 'bu door followed by a
wild rush of the scholars.— £e tell bn l'M.
CHINKSK VEGETABLES.
Cucumbers Eaten Cooltod—Sus
picious Looking Pods.
From the Few York Sun,
One of the attractions which draw a
crowd of Chinamen to Mott street on
Sundays at this season is the opportunity
to buy several kinds of alleged vegetables
which can be purchased at no other mar
ket in this part of the world, anil which are
sold there from streetstauds and wagons.
A reporter found it uphill work toextract
any information from the Chlnameu as to
the numes and the ways of using th*' va
rious Kinds of vegetables that were being
sold.
A tail, grave-looking Chinaman w hose
pig-tail was of a liner fibre than that ot
the average laundryman, and who was
presumed to possess superior intelli
gence, said that one of the baskets con
taiiiecl “China cucumbers.” They were
about six inches long, an inch thick, of a
vivid cholera morbus green, and deeply
wrinkled, somewhat alter the manner of
a dried pepper pod. They looked about as
much like a cucumber ns a Chinaman
looks like a Yankee. They were selling
at the rather steep price lot cucumbers of
46 cents a pound. The venders were
weighing them out on contrivances nisdo
somewhat after the manner of steelyards,
with a tin scale pan at one end of the rod,
and a weight that hung by a string loop.
The rod was of wood, and instead ol
notched divisions there were clusters of
pin beads. Ii the Inspectors and 8"alors
"f Weights and Measures would turn
their attention to tnese, scales their
places no longer would be siqyclH'hft- 'l'iw
Cl teaman - with i rtie iuteWigeiKb-woViug

bers were not sliced up raw and- eaten
with salt, poppet? and Vinegar, ami bil
lowed by anti-cholera ujixtun , but wore
cooked before being eaten. lie did not
know where they were grown.
lu another basket were some larger
vegetables, also of a forbidding green.
They were ol the size and shape of a little
brown jug without the handle. These,
tne into! iigeiit Chinamen soul, wore Chi
nese squashes. Still another basket held
vegetables which can bo likened to noth
ing else that exis 8. They were suspici
ous-looking pods about afoot long,taper
ing to a point, a little less than two inches
through at the butt, and fluted from butt
to point. They also were intensely
green. In his endeavors to find out what
these things were callod and what they
were good for, the reporter awakened so
much suspicion regarding himself that a
riot seemed imminent, and he took a vva k
down Park street to give the heated popu
lace an opportunity to cool off. When he
came back on the other side oi Mott street
a Caucasian youngster was helping a
Chinaman to sell vegetables sugli as have
been inadequately described, aud others,
out of a covered wagon.
“What are these, and these, and these ?”
asked the reporter, pointing to the con
tents of various baskets.
“Dunno, dunno, dunno,” were the
youngster’s replies to the questions, re
spectively.
One of the baskets contained vegetables
—or fruit —which looked liko mtpiature
orook-necked squashes, in their color
there was a yellowish and pleasing depar
ture from the prevailing green.
“Where are these things raised?” the
boy was asked.
“Long Island,” said he, and he
seemed to he sorry that he knew that
rnuoh.
The Chinamen were buying briskly, at
prices whioh, from an unlearned compari
son of price with the quantity obtained,
seemed in violation of every principle of
domestic economy.

MALARIA.
‘‘lf peopln coulrt only know what a splendid
medicine Simmons Liver Regulator is there
would be many a physician without a patient
and many an interminable doctor bill saved.
I consider it infallible in malarial infection.
1 had for many years been a perfect physical
wreak from a combination of com
plaints, all the outgrowth of ma
laria in my system, and eveu under
the skillful hand of Dr. J. P. Jones, of
this city, 1 had despaired of ever being a well
woman again. Simmons Liver Regulator was
recommended to me. I tried it; it helped me,
ami it is the only thing that ever dul mo any
good. I persevered iu its use and ara now in
per root health. I know the medicine cured
mo, and I always keep It as a reliable ‘stand
by’ in my family. Respectfully.
