The CanplontIile of the Season.
Pineville Ky. May 17. Hanging
in a barn in Old Pinoville threo miles
from here is the most marvelous freak
of nature ever heard of or seen. Its
existence however is vouched for by
il"-.rs James P. Whallen and Joseph
Lea by of Louisville" who have just
returned from Old Pineville. It is
well known that when ououmbers are
first out from the vine there is a piece
of the stem which exudes or bleeds.
A prominent citizen of Old Pineville
sometime ago named Jarcd Gibson
out his hand and this juioe got into
this out and his hand commenced to
inflame and an eruption similar to ery-
sipelas made its appearanoo and ex-
tended up his arm and finally spread
over his whole body. Strange to say
there was no pain attending these erup-
tions of erysipolas and he continued
to gather and pack his cucumbers and
prepare them for pickling. To the
great surprise of everybody these little
Dimples assumed the appearance and
form of small cucumbers and continu-
ed to grow. Although Gibson kept
well and hearty he was compelled to
take his bed. The doctors and quacks
from around here visited him ' One
Ercscribed one thing and ono another
ine wished to bleed him; one wanted
to out the cuourabers off J another said
not to lot him have water and they
would dry up; another said stick a
hole in eaoh cucumber and thoy would
die and a now skin form; another
wished to wrap him up in a mammoth
poultice of barnyard manure to draw
them all to ono head; another said
they ought to bo scattered. All the
doctors had a different remedy but all
disagreed so there was some hope that
the natient would iretwell. But the
small cucumbers grew into big ones
-and his whole body wbb covered with
them from head to toot and they'com-

Tweed Ga.Mar 19 -Louis Hutch-
inion aged 70 and Miss Annie Wilk-
ins aged 18 were married in this
neighborhood recently. The day af-
ter the marriage the bride deserted
her aged husband and has since re-
fused to live with him. It is told that
the match was not to her liking and
that she married Hutchinson through
pressure of parental persuasion. On
the. night of the wedding when the
bridal party were at the house of the
bride's parents Miss Wilkins could
not be found. After much annoying
delay she was discovered in hiding
and was persuaded to fulfill her prom-
ise but tears chased each other down
her cheeks as she sobbingly consented
to be Hutchinson's wife. The young
wife says her husband is old and ugly
that she deserted him is sony she
married htm and won't live -with him.

Donalson Ga.May 19. Laurens
county is intensely excited over the
discovery of spirits of turpentine. Gas
has been observed coming from the
well ever since it was dug two years
ago. More than a month ago the
water became so impregnated with
turpentine that it could not be used
for drinking purposes t A few days
ago a bucket of colored turpentine
was hauled out. An investigation was
made and fourteen barrels were drawn
off. In a few hours the spirits had
risen to the same height. A barrel of
it reached Savannah this morning and
experts pronounced it the pure article.
It is not believed that the well has
been salted and the mystery is to far
inexplicable. The find is the talk of
the day at the board of trade here
and little dealing in turpentine will be
done until further details are obtained
from the well; c " . -'

Three Alblao Babies.
Harrisburo Pa. May 19. A third
albino baby made its appearance in
the home of a West Harrisburg family
this morning It is a girl exceptionally
laree. finely developed and a more
perfect type of the albino than its
brother and sister. Dr. M. K. Bow
ers the family physician says the third
litttle stranger is the most pronounced
albino he ever saw. There are two
'other children born to the same par
ents the boy on May it 1886 and
the second a girl on August is 1887
The three children form an interesting
group. All have hair pure snow white
and pinkeyes. ' The two older ones
are healthv youngsters. A great many
persons called to see the curiosity to
day . The father of the children is of
dtukicomplexion with black eyes and
let black hair. The mother is also in
elided to the brunette type and has
dark hair and eyes. Maternal tm
pressions are doubtless' the cause of
this singular psycnoiogicai cnange as
a history of the mother previous to the
birth of the first child is the best pos
sible evidence.
