this spot was often pointed out as the
wine of the numler of twelve men. an!
the place lwire the reputation of Winp
haunted. It was sai.l the rattling- of
chains and groans and prayers for
mercy could lie distinctly heard by
pas.sershy. No one ever stopped to in
vestigate, as we can testify from per
bonal experience, says a writer in the
New York Dispatch, having heard the
groans some fourteen years npo. and
hi.vinp also done some of the most dis
tinguished traveling in all our eventful
career.
5ut to the story: Howard Thompson
was a witness to the killing, which oc
curred in lN:t. he bcinp ten years old
:.t the time. The killimr was done hy
Itoliund I Sen .Ionian, of 1'ickens county,
anil the murdered men were deserters
who hud U-en arrested in (Jilmer county.
While the Jordan loys were in the
confederate army a crowd of deserters
visited tin- house of their father, as
saulted their sister and the wife of P.ob
Jordan and carried their father, who
was about seventy years old. through
the mountains a distance of sixty miles,
and subjected him to many sh.x-kinp
cruelties. Then the Jordan boys re
turned home and he pan their record of
killing. Kvery man known to be a de
serter or a skulker became a victim of
their unerring ri'Jes. Hob kept a list of
the names and dates in a small look.
He was pursued one day and in crossing
a river lost his book. It contained one
hundred and twenty-five names. After
that he kept no record. This was be
fore the killin;? near ( lainesville.
liob ami I5en Jordan lx-cnrao reeruit
inp officers and arrested twenty
six men in iii'iiian county, and
started with them to the front. On
the way two escaped and twenty-four
were hulped in traiuesville jail. Next
morninp the Jordan picked out twelve
whom they had the lest reason t
lieve had been implicated in the out
rages upon their family and chained
them together and marched them to
tins white oak tree on the New Holland
road. They stood tliem up in a row
and Itoh Jordan marched slowly aloiip
the line with a larpe army pistol and
shot them with his own hand one at a
time. Some fell on their knees and
and prayed, while others looked their
slayer square in the face and died with
an oath on their lips. Amnnrrtlie num
ber was a fragile boy about iifteen who
was chained to a very larpe man.
The boy was shot first and the man
supported him in a stu,lidinp posture un
til lie himself was shot, when they fell
to tiie pround topr!?'1"'
Those twelve men were hasti'7 hurled
in a trench, (in;,' upon the spot, but
after the war they wen' exhumed
by the federal authorities and removed
to the national cemetery at t'hatta
noopn. A'-'cr the war T'.ob Jordan was shot
to death in Florida by a weak, sickly
younp man u;mi whom he was impos
ing'. Ien was stabled to death in u
barroom in Texas.
Tiie sjxit when- the killinp occurred
is now in cultivation, but the old tree
sti'l remains. The land is part of the
tract which Tom Daniels bought ;lont
two years apo for eighteen hundred
lollars and sold a few days npo fur six
thousand dollars.
STORY OF A DIAMOND.
It Was Ohtniui'il by n Snrcmn from a
)5razili:iii ly sh:irj Practice.
A rare diamond, weiplunp nearly four
carats, now in New York, has a re
markable history. It was found, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch, in the pold
district of 15raz.il by a native who did
not know its value, but kept it as a
"luck" stone. One day while journey
ing to u camp of trailers with his pold
dust he was bitten by a serpent. Ap
plying the antidote known to the peo
ple of that country, he prt weeded on his
way, but had not pone far when he wns
apau. bitten. Jly treated himself for
the second wound and continued oil hh
journey. While stooping ! I"nk from
u brook the fanps of a snake werj' fan-
toned in the hap which rontaiued tin'
stone. 'n rcncninp ne eaoip lie whs
found to lo succumbing rapidly to the
effects of the venom, and when ques
tioned by the camp surgeon told how
the snake had seized the bap at his
throat.
The surpeon was permitted to see the
stone, and, suspecting its real charac
ter, he told the native that it was ex
tremely dangerous to have it about him.
an it attracted venomous reptiles, and
advised him to sink it in the nciphlxir
inp brook. The superstitious tinder of
the diamond acted upon the mippestion,
and the covetous surgeon, huvinp
watched the proceeding, availed him
self the first opxrt unity to fish the
pem from its hiding place. The dia
mond was purchased recently from the
cuttcr in Kurope by Edwin A. Thrall, of
New York.
BRAZIL'S DOMESTIC PET.
A lt.i Which I I'hi-I in South American
Houses t Kill ICat.
Hats have multiplied to such a de
pree in lira!! that the inhabitants roar
a certain kind of snake for destroying
them. The Ilrai'.ian domestic servant
is the pilioia. a small species of tho boa
almut twelve feet in length and of the
diameter of a man's arm. It is sold at
from one dollar to one dollar and fifty
cents in the markets of Uio Janeiro,
rornambueo, l!:ihia, etc. This snake,
which is entirely harmless and sluggish
in its movements, passes the entire day
asleep at the foot of the staircase of the
house, scarcely deigning to raise its
head at the approach of a visitor or
when a strange, noise is heard in the
vestibule.
At nightfall the pilmia logins to
hunt, crawling along here and there,
and oven penetrating the space above
the ceiling and K-neath the floorinp.
Springing swiftly forward it seizes the
rat by the nape ami crushes its cervical
vertobr.e. As serpents rarely oat,
even when at lUierty, the gilioki kills
only for the pleasure of killing. It be
comes mi accustomed to its laaster's
house that if carried to a distance it
escapes and rinds its way back home.
Every house in the warmest provinces
where rats alxutnd owns its giboia, a
fixture by destination, and the owner
of which praises its qualities when he
wishes to sell or let his house. Chicago

BRAZIL'S NEW IMMIGRANTS.
Large Numbers Are lroproas awd Con
tewted. There are satisfaetnry reports from
Kio de Janeiro about the condition of
the one hundred thousand Italian, Pol
ish, Herman and Hebrew immigrants
who have settled in llraril within the
last two or three years. They are ex
ceedingly well treated by the authori
ties and the new republic, and by the
native citizen of hcalities in which
they may lie pleased to take up their
alMxle. Those of them who ilesire land
have no difliculty in procuring it, and
those who seek employment in the
mines or in trades, or at unskilled la
bor do not need to remain idle.
Such of the immigrants as have taken
np the work of cultivating the soil, says
the Chicago Tribune, find that they can
raise many kinds, of fruits and other
natural products which they never saw
in Europe: that the fertility of the soil
surpasses the reports they had heard of
it, and that the climate in many re
gions of the republic is entirely satis
factory to them. They find also that
free public schools have tieen estab
lished by the central and provisional
governments, and that a system of uni
versal education will soon be adopted.
So favorable are the accounts that
the immigrants have sent back to the
countries whence they came that the
llra.ilian authorities look for a vast in
crease of immigration during the com
ing year, especially from Italy and
IVnssian Poland. The great landlords
in the last-named country are alarmed
by the flight of thousands of their la
liorers to ISraztl. but there is no likeli
hood of the success of their efforts to
prevent it. Italy can spare several mil
lions of her people, who are sure to im
prove their condition by settlement in
ISrazil.
Furthermore, it is known that the
rich Jew, Karon Hirsch. has offered to
transport half a million Russian Jews
to any part of the South American con
tinent, and the probability is that
Brazil will be the country chosen for
them. The Brazilian government is
doing all that it can do under the cir
cumstances to encourage immigration,
but it will do much more as soon as its
affairs are in perfect order, so that the
funds needed for the work can be ap
propriated. SLANG AND ITS DERIVATIONS.
Farts Itelatlnc to the Origin ot Certain
Words anil I'hrasea.
Within the present century (proba
bly) a good many Hebrew words have
come into English slang through the
medium of Yiddish," e. g., showfol.
(low Hebrew, "'shaphel;) gonoph. a
thief. (Hebrew, gannabh, pronounced
gonniif' by Polish Jews; Mr. Leland
writes ineorrcctly"gncf.) flie greater
part says the Anthenaenm. of the
vocabulary of slang, however, is purely
of English origin, consisting of humorously-metaphorical
nses of ordinary
words, the metaphor Wing often so
far-fetched as to be of the nature of a
riddle. Slang words of this type have
oft.-r! passed into standard use; the or
dinary Krench words for 'head.
'cheek.1' 'leg. for instance, represent
the vulgar Latin words for pot." por
ringer," and "knee-cap."
Of course, a humorous metaphorical
expression may acquire a considerable
degree of proverbial currency without
thereby In-coming slang. It passes in
to slang when the original point of the
joke is no longer distinctly remem
lered, and the expression continues to
be used merely as an eccentric sulsti
tutc for the recognized term. At a
later stage sometimes the word or
phrase lias lecome so general that all
its grotesque associations have disap
peared, and it lieeomes a permanent
addition to the resources of the literary
language. A good example of these
three stages of development may be
found in the history of the word budg
et," as denoting the financial propos
als of the chancellor of the exchequer.
In the reign of George II. the word was
used with conscious allusion to the cele
brated pamphlet which ridiculed Sir K.
Walpole as a conjurer, opening his
budget'' or "bag of tricks." After
ward it must, for a time, have ln-en cur
rent as slang; but, as it supplied a want,
it was soon taken into the ordinary vo
cabulary, and at the present time a
chancellor of tiie exchequer would, as a
matter of course, speak of his own
budget" without any thought of the un
complimentary sense, which tli word
originally expressed.
... CHARLEY'S NECK.
What Kelt Two Fond Toons; Hearts
Asunder rerhaps Forever.
A prominent young doctor living in
the West End, in a very fashionable
portion of St. Louis, is the possessor of
a bright mind, which is almve a con
spicuously long neck, says the St. Louis
Star-Sayings. Now, this elongated pe
culiarity of the doctor is a particularly
touchy subject to allude to in the
bright young M. IVs presence. The
doctor will arise to such an occasion
and fire a man into space who criticises
this physical peculiarity. Most young
men either have or Mon acquire what
is known as & sweetheart. The doctor
had one, and this lovely compisite
quantity unconsciously eallvl her
affiant's attention to his deformity in a
very practical and heartrending way.
Not many months ago the young couple
were in New York for the first time,
and of course went about seeing the
sights of that metropolis.
In time the couple found themselves
at the Zoological gardens, inspecting
the animals. The relict of Mr. Crow
ley was there, the young lion cubs and
the rest of the leasts for which the
garden is famed. There is also a very
tieautiful pet giraffe that enjoys the
lilerty of the surroundings and the
very thing which caused the wide
chasm In'tween the young people's love.
The lady W-ame a little tirecl after a
time. and. seeing the shadow of a long;
neck eside her, said: "Let's go home,
Charley," and proceeded toward the
exit. Realizing after a time that her
companion was unusually quiet, she
observed closer and found that she was
going home with the giraffe. This in
cident is vouched for by a numlier of
the young couple's friends, who are trv
ing hard to get peace restored. m

An American should always under
stand what is meant by a breakfast in
London. He will probably take break
fast in his lodgings, or, if he lives in
the hotel, in the coffee room at a fixed
charge. There are two distinct classes
of breakfast, says the Chicago Herald,
the light and the substantial, with
prices to match. The first is one cup of
coffee, one boiled egg and three slices
of toast; the latter is one small chop,
one egg, a penny loaf of breaL one but
tered murhn and coffee. Tlve principal
dish of this latter menu is varied in
lodging houses from day to day, the
chop becoming sausage on Tuesday,
ham on Wednesday, fried sole on Thurs
day, and then the lonely - chop again,
with the subsequent rotation kept tip
ad infinitum.

THE030PHY IN
A Pair of Star-Oaaers Iilate on Love.
1'ortry a. tho Ile star.
ITo was an eaveslrrppr. lut onenpon
whom th oflU-' hal li'n tlimst. fcays
the Kansas Tity SUir. lit had en-,
MunnM litms1f in a corner of thi vine
flail veranda to smoke the eiar if re
flection when theM this isopl ileal lovers
strolled out to sniff the eveninr air.
They seatil themselves on the topmost
step ami while his arm encircled her
waist she remarked:
1 particularly love that star.
-Which one?"
"That one." said slie. pointing to the
outermost lower star of the dipper's
1mw1.
"A verv natnral preference.
-Vhy?-'
''Two thousand years ao that was
the north star," said he, "and doubtless
in your life that yon then lived you
were wont to refer to it as you now re
fer to Polaris the present north star.
Who knows," continued he. in his jrrow
inj enthusiasm, "but that you were an
Ejryptian trader, and that as your cara
van wended its loop-drawn way across
the trackless desert you looked to that
star for jruidanee. and that the habit
thus ftirmcil has penetrated your pres
ent life in the form of an indefinable
preference?"
'Hut where were you then?" she
tremulously inquired as she seized his
discrifntyed hand, she liein.but a recent
convert to the doctrines of Karma, and
her feminine soul, with its pleasant
dreams of wedding finery, suffering a
sliyht shock at the thought of any con
dition in life in which there was neither
prospect nor propriety of a husband fiy
urinjr. Hut the lover was now lost in the as
tronomer, lie was a teacher, and. true
to his pedajroiric instinct, he proeedcd.
while he looked reflectively toward the
east:
"Yes, indeed, and in twelve thousand
years that star Lyra, in the constella
tion of the harp, that you may see just
rising through the tr-es, will lie the
north star, for the earth's motions, yon
must know, are precisely like those of a
top. It revolves on its axis, and at the
same time, this axis describes a wide
circle of its own. It is thi:i latter m
tion that causes the change in the north
star, since the orb so named is always
the one toward which the earth's pole
is then pointing.
She sighed, and after a little pause
said in a discournfrcd tone:
"I wonder what you and I will be do
ing1 when Lyra is the north star?"'
Promptly the professor quoted:
"Itii mc not witU lr diiux oa tU- years
That were cro I .lrrw l.rcatii; m '.iy sli.mM I then
rltrn-t thp InrktK'M.t that mav f:ill a'air.
When life Ik done? IVrchanec in othe
uplH-nn
"Poetry and tlieosophic poetry a
that:" muttcre-d the eavesdropper.
"This is too raucli."
There was a loud rustlinjr amotij the
vim's. The professor's Uotati in c-asel
abruptly, and his arm took a more con
ventional posture.
HOW TO WEAR
SHOES.
r,.lfnrtn jr
Their t'arfnlneaa.
Peiple who feci that their shoes wear
out too quickly should heed the word
of a denier in t'hicajjo, who tells the
Mail: "Io you know there isn't one
man in five hundred who knows how to
wear shoes? The average man buys a
pair of shoes, wears them until they are
no lonvr presentable, and then throws
them away and buys another pair. A
man ouht to have at least two pairs of
shoes for everyday wear, ami no pair
should le worn two days in succession.
At first thought this mat strike you as
n scheme to lienefit the shoe dealer, but
it is nothing of the kind. In fact, such
a plan would injure the shoe business.
Two pairs of shoes worn alternately
will last three times aslonp- as a sinjrle
pair. The savinp. of course, is made in
the wearing of the leather. A pair of
shoes worn every day pK's to pieces
more than twice as fast as a pair worn
every second day. N"o two pair fit your
feet in exactly the same way. In one
pair the strain and wear of the leather
falls heaviest upon one particular part
of the shoe and in another the frreatest
wear and tear falls upon another part
altogether. I took a trip through Eu
rope last summer and in several places
I was surprised to find the shx's worn
by peasants have no 'riyht' and "left"
distinctions, but are worn on either
foot- I was told that such shoes were
preferred to those which more closely
conform to the shape of the foot, lie
cause they last longer, since the strain
upon any part of the shoe to-day is
changed to another part to-morrow."
IS MARRIAGE A FAILURE?
The trouble is that people do not tell
enough truth !efore they arc married,
and too much after. Atchison Glolie.
"My wife is so clever. She knows all
my wishes just by looking into my eyes,
and does them th exact opposite of
all of them." Fliegende Blatter.
Pksignatf.D. Elsie "Did I under
stand you to call your husband Lily?"
Mrs, Golightly "Yes: you see he toils
not, neither does he spin." IVinceton.
A Df.mvurkr Entkukd. Hostess
"Now, Mr. J arrows, I want you to
make yourself perfectly at home."
Mrs. Harrows "Well. I hope he won't.
Mrs. I licks; it wouldn't lie polite m him
to swear at your cold coffee and serv
ants." X. Y. Sun.
Mrs. LooKF.nnACK "Didn't vou fre
quently vow, sir, when you courted me.
that you loved me to distraction?"
Mr. IxKikedback "Yes and I never
discovered until after our marriage
how thoroughly distracted I was at the
time." Iloston Courier.
HEALTH AND DISEASE. 1
Rkcf.xt experiments by German phy
sicians indicate that cancer Ls conta
gious. Dr. Laxxei.oxgi-f.V treatment of chlo
ride of zinc for tuberculosis has re
ceived a good deal f praise from Dr.
L'Alrtie and Dr. Poyet, the latter a spe
cialist, regarding it as a great dis
covery. The serious effects upon the eyes of
miners from the use of the modern safe
ty lamp lias been a subject of investi
gation in England, the result ln-ing that
increased lighting power in such
lamps will cause such troubles to dis
appear. The ripening process makes cheese
more digestible and nutritious. The
curing (refining the French call it) de
velops fat in the cheese. A well-cured
skim-milk cheese contains more digest
ible nutriment than a fresh whole-milk
cheese.
