The debaters of a boys’ high school in Louis- > ille are struggling over the question: “As a rule should only members of the political party in power be appointed to Federal office?” When they have settled this and the children of Yale have settled the tariff, the politicians will come ,n and fix things in a way that will most help f heir re-election to office.

ThomaN Boone His Successor to the Diocesan Committee. The standing committee of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Georgia met in Atlanta last week to act upon the resignation of the Rev. Ed win G. Weed and to consider his testimonials as bishop-elect of the diocese of Florida. The committee could not do otherwise than accept .the resignation of Bishop-elect Weed in consid eration of the circumstances under which it was offered; but they accepted it only with the deep est regret, which they expressed in heartfelt words. The committee proceeded to fill the va cancy occasioned by Mr. Weed’s resignation of his two-fold position as a member and the presi dent of the committee. The Rev. Thomas Boone, rector of Christ church, of Savannah, was unanimously elected president, and the Rev. Win. C. Hunter, rector of Trinity church, Columbus, a member of the com mittee. The standing committee now consists of the Rev. Messrs. Boone, Winchester and Hunter, and Messrs. Z. D. Harrison, T. E. Walker and Hon. Walter G. Charlton. The testimonials of Mr. Weed were signed, and the committee sent, in addition to the formal tes timonial, a strongly worded commendation of their own to the authorities of the diocese of Florida. Mr. Weed has been a faithful member •of the standing committee for several years, and that faithfulness has been tried severely in the past year. He lias been called to a higher posi tion and a larger work, and the prayers, and good m ishes, as well as the regrets, of the committee ^nd of the vast body of the members of the dio cese go with him to his new and promising field <of labor. Florida could not have chosen more wisely, and she is to be congratulated that Mr. Weed has accepted. FACTS FROM FORT.SOX. Crop PrONpeeb* and the Labor (Question—Personal Notes. Correspondence Enquirer-Sun. Muscogee County, June 14.—Farming in our .section on the whole is backward. Corn is look ing very well since the late copious rains, but .cotton, witb the exception of a few brag patches, is exceedingly low for this date. The stand of cotton is much better, however, than it has been. Labor is scarce and high priced, and withal of an inferior order. The price of labor is not con trolled here as it should be, by the price of cot ton and other farm products. This is especially true of day labor. A hand asks as much now for a day’s work as he did when cotton was bring ing 12c., and corn, bacon and some other staple commodities were selling for double their present value. Some of our enterprising young farmers are considering the expediency of clubbing to gether and hiring a set of convicts to cultivate •their lands. It is evident that a different plan must be adopted, but it is just as evident that we can’t all hire convicts, if that is practicable for a few. Who knows what is best? The wife and eldest daughter, Miss Lula, of Mr. J. R. Thompson have been very unwell for ■several days. But Miss Lula expects to resume her school this morning. Miss Florence Jones, late of Wesleyan female college, has returned home to remain. Mrs. A. G. McCrary, who has been spending a while in the city with a sick babe for medical -treatment, has returned, herself much better. The infant is still very sick. ANYTHING MAKES JMMiS MAD. A Mnd Dog Killed at lioulhvnoil Yesterday—Dr. Spitzka Says that Soft Soap D ili Ran Them Mad. Wr. William Ferry, who lives out at Beall- wood, about two miles from town, owned a little pet dog. On yesterday the dog went mail. It ran all round foaming at the mouth, bumping up against everything that happened to be in its ivay. There were several young ladies staying at Mr. Perry’s who were very much frightened, and, in tact, the whole premises were greatly excited. The dog was finally knocked on the head and killed before it had bitten anyone or done any damage at all. It is a question with a great many people- and among them those well versed in science-as to whether there is such a thing as hydrophobia. Or. E. C. Spitzka, of New York, recently has written a very interesting paper on this subject, based on his experiments in inoculation for rabies. He said that hydrophobia was as yet but imperfectly understood. He doubted if any such disease existed in man. Among dogs most cases of so-called rabies were of a very doubtful char acter. The Newark pound keeper died from fear and starvation, and not from hydrophobia. Four of the Newark dog's victims were sent to Pasteur and returned to show themselves in dime muse ums. Two others who were not sent to Paris have never shown any symptoms of li\ drophobia and two dogs which the same dog bit did not die. Dogs do go mad—insane—as human beings do ; but Dr. Spitzka called it epileptic delirium, epi demic miningitis, or some other malady of the brain, due to readily discoverable causes. He suspected that the dog that bit Miss Morosini was not marl. He believed that Pasteur had never had a case of genuine rabies. He had himself produced in dogs all the symptoms described by Pasteur as peculiar to hydrophobia, and some of those dogs still live, and were produced last night. One dog he inoculated with soil soap- -that is he intro duced sofa soap into his brain, and all the symptoms of hydrophobia were produced, and the dog died as mud as possible. In another, the spinal marrow of a calf, the meat of which had famished the doctor’s family dinner, had served to kill a dog with apparent hydrophobia, while other dogs, into whose brain he had injected the actual poison of alleged hy drophobia cases, had recovered. He produced four dogs which he had trephined. Into the brains of two of them he had introduced part of the bftiiu of a calf; in Another caffe an emulsion of calf’s cud. ami in the fourth case a part of the brain of the man who died of sup posed hydrophobia in Brooklyn recently. These dogs had all shown symptoms of disease partial pamlysis of the hind legs, wildness ol the eyes, frothing at the mouth. The dogs wen all bright enough last night, though slightly wob bly ou the hind legs and a litlledull in their eyes But they all seemed affectionate, and were handled freely, and even permitted to run at large in the room among the legs of the listening factors. One of the dogs, a bull pup, Dr. Spitzka chloro formed to death. Its brain was removed to show t« condition. Several block spots showed the presence of foreign matter the matter which had >een injected, and which had produced tin symptoms of so-called rabies, which Dr. Hpit’ku “ailed merely cerebral' meningitis.

For the week ending June 11th the receipts at :he Fnited States polls reached 22,773 bales, miking tlie total since September 1st 5,207,949 bubs, showing an increase of 497,942. The twenty-six interior towns for the week end- ng June lltli, received 11,036 bales, shipped 31,970 and had stocks of 118,907 bales. Same time last .ear they received 1851, shipped 9091 and had stocks of 47.701. The above totals show that the old interior stocks have decreased during the week 19,531 bales an»l are to-night 61.009 hales more than at the same period last year. The receipts at the same towns have been 5922 bales more than the same week last year, and since September 1 the receipts at all the towns are 704,988 bales more than for the same time in 1884-5. The exports for the week ending this evening reach a total of 81,287 bales, of which 73.822 were to Great' Britain, 359 to France and 7106 to the rest of the continent. The Chronicle comments on its tabic of re ceipts from plantations as follows : The above statement shows—1. 1’hat the total receipts from plantations since September 1, 1885, are 5.311,006 bales; in 1884-85 were 4,740,493 bales; in 1883-84 were 4,773,854 bales. 2.—That, although the receipts at the out ports the past week were 22,773 bales, the actual move ment from plantations was only 1839 bales, the balance being taken from the stocks at the in terior towns. Last year the receipts from the plantations for the same week were 48 bales and for 1884 they were 2655 bales. In the table below we give the receipts from plantations in another form, and add to them the net overland movement to June 1, and also the takings by southern spinners to the same date, so as to give substantially the amount of cotton now in sight. 1885-86. 1881-85.

The Chronicle’s telegraphic weather reports for the week are thus summarized : The weather during the week at the south has. on the whole, been quite favorable. Further benefit to the crop in the southwest and in por tions of the west has resulted from rains, but in sections of the Atlantic and Gulf states an excess of moisture has given grass a chance to grow. RAllXKY KKATRN’S BARGAIN. How Gilbert's Rond nas Storked with h New, '« Strange Klsli. Newtown. Conn., June 12.—-Queer things sometimes happen in this town, which the mem bers of the New York riding club say they will remember because here they got acquainted with an aged landlord and the applejack which had cheered him through 84 years of this earthly pil grimage. A few days ago it happened that Bar ney Iveaten, who lives in a pari of the township known as Hattertown, drove down to Bridgeport, and there by the sad Sound waves, bargained with a fish peddler for some mackerel which were said to be fresh and which were to be had at a merely nominal price. Keaten must have thought that he was in luck, for he bought four half barrels of the fish, and, getting them into : his wagon, drove on toward Hattertown in triumph. Arrived safely at home he made a I closer examination of liis purchase and found | that the fish were decidedly overripe, and a good deal better fitted for a fertilizer than for tood. Keaten had no desire to let his neighbors know I of his famous bargain, and when the shades of ! night had fallen he took the half barrels to Uil- | ben’s pond and threw them in. One of the J casks was broken somewhat, but Keaten thought j nothing of that, and hied him home to j ponder on the deceitfulness of fish peddlers. During the night the fish in the broken half | barrel began to swell up and take on something ; that approached their appearance in life. Early I in the morning several anglers came down to the | pool, and one of them gravely and unsuspiciously j let his line down into the water just above the i half-opened cask. Two or three times he twitched 1 his line, and the last little pull was rewarded by what seemed a nibble. Carefully the fisherman drew in the wet string, and his eyes came near j bursting out of his head when he brought to the surface a fish that was twice as large as the big gest bullhead he had ever caught. The fish was | certainly very placid : it made no resistadee to be- i ing caught, and lay on the grass a moment later with never a quiver to mark a departing life. It i must he a new species, the angler de- ! ckled—one that died easily. He looked | it over, felt of it, ami reflected. ; Then he dropped his line into the water, re- ; peated his former operations and again pulled I in one of the strange fish, a mate of the first one . j only a trifle bigger. Two or three times the I thing was repeated, until the fisherman thought . of breakfast, and running a string thiough the ! g'lls of his captives, carried them home. ITe j 1 tried one that morning and found it very high i 1 flavored gamy in the extreme. Later in the day | he visited the pond and again hud great luck. As ; the new fish seemed lo be perishable, the lucky j j man distributed them among his neighbors, and ! several families had a fish dinner. All opinions ■ agreed on one point- the fish were rather strong { in flavor. j How long the new species might have been j sought by the fisherman is hard to tell, had not ! an ambitious small boy gone in swimming and . discovered the tubs. Then there was an inyesti- | | gallon, and Mr. Keaton’s bargain was hoisted • out upon dry land. Promising theories about a 1 subterranean passage up from the sound went j ! dow.. with a crash, and two or three men ! thought that fish dinners were coming up to j ! meet them. Stocking a respectable pm»d with i 1 spoiled mackerel was no joke, especially when j an innocent public had happened to suffer there- ■ by. Keaten w«is known to have gone to Bridge- j . port, where mackerel grow, ami -tmpicion point- . : ed its finger at him. Terrible thing.*- might have | happened had not a ne : ghbor conn* forward and I agreed to cart otf the mackerel for use on his | . potato field, and the crisis wa- averted.

FOUR MONTHS AFTER DEATH. Th<‘ Strumri 1 Story of It.'v. l.llitlH*.). «i(* Itorkimr- lutiii. N. (’. Rockingham, N. C'., Spirit ol'the South. Rev. Lindsey, who formerly resided and preached in this county, was able to boast that he was born four months after liis mother had been dead land buried. Here is the explanation: His mother, who re sided in stewartville township, this coun ty, fell ill, and, to all appearances, died, and was buried in Stewartville cemetery. The night following her interment, ghouls, for the purpose of securing some jewelry that was buried with the body, unearthed the remains, when consciousness returned and she was enabled to return to her home. Arriving at her late residence site rapped at the door and was answered by her hus band, who demanded to know who we t there. To his great astonishment the answer came: “It is your wife.” He was not quick in opening the door, but dually did so. and was overjoyed to meet again in life his beloved wife, whom he had mourned as dead. Four months afterward Rev. Mr. Lindsey was horn, and she sur vived several years. This is indeed a strange story, but we are assured it is literally true. Don't Overdo It. A glib tongue is not one of earth’s rari ties, yet it is not every possessor of it that understands how to manage the jolly proprieties of table talk. To rattle through it with credit to himself and protit to his fellow-guests, he muHt know what and when to speak and how to take graceful advantage at any gap in the conversation— indeed, to prevent the occurrence of any. To do this without the appearance of ob trusion or vanity or risking the reputa tion of a character, constitutes the art of table-talking. The dinner-giver—we mean him who selects his guests with the knowl edge that the success of his dinner will depend in a great measure upon their conversational powers—understands that it is not essential that all the company should be accomplished table talkers. Ex pedience does not always allow this, and, If it did, the result would not be entirely desirable. Good listeners, whether at the table or elsewhere, are ns indispensable as good talkers, for the jest or the story owes the life of its success more to the ear of him who hears than to the tongue that speaks it. Therefore an over-abundance of good talkers at a banquet would result in their being in each other’s way, and, like MARKET* BTTKI.KUHAPH. Plnaui'lnl. NKW YORK MONHY MAliKST. •Vhw York.
