THE FRYER PROCESS.
H ill of G eorgia .—We find this
description given in an exchange of
Hill, who took part in the Amnesty de
bate : Ben Hill is a jurist, orator and
statesman, who is popular beyond par
allel in Georgia. He stands about
five feet ten, is of broad and strong
frame, has a brown beard, cut short
and streaked with gray. In form and
dress he would be taken for an old
farmer. In manner and expression he
looks lice a judge; strong, big, his
kindly features are lighted up with
grave, large, brown eyes, and his
mouth and jaws suggest a firmness and
self-reliance that distinguish him from
the common herd of men.
A L ondon correspondent writes:
“Some fun has been caused lately by an
accident that happened to a curate of
High-church tendencies. Having a
horse that did not like the water, he
stripped to the skin and then mounted
his steed, which he sought to force
into the sea. But the brute did not
see it, and wheeling round, started
full pace for the town, through the
main street of which he dashed, great
ly to the surprise and horror of his
rider, the male Godiva, It is sal I
that the curate did not officiate the
next Sunday.”

man in Arkansas. Her eye had such
a stony glare that the workman who
resurrected her took her for a mother-
in-law, regardless of the fact that
mothers-in-law never die.
