We have brains and money enough to start and carry on all t he business enterprises necessary to make ('okunhus as prominent in trade as she is now in manufacturers.

Without them our young men will re main clerks, and our old men money- , lenders. similes serve to illustrate the character of I any kind should take a warm bath, suffer the righteous, !

The n turn! advantages and opportunities of many people justly the hope of fruit, hut alas ! expectation is too often blight ed by the sad realization that all the bright,‘bud? of hope and promise have either withered in their incipience or expanded into useless and poisonous foliage. “The tree i? known by its fruit," and the value of a life must he computed by its fruit-beuriug qualities. When the fruit and foliage correspond it is evident that the individual is not a hypocrite or pretender, hut is standing squarely on Ids platform, whether good or had. The garniture of education, unless it eventu- atepin producing good fruit, is like ! time to spread over the system; and even if some time has elapsed the drenching perspiration that may be induced by hot water will be very certain to remove it. In cases of congestion, bilious colic, inflam mation, etc., there is no remedy more cer tain to give relief than a hot bath. In cases I of obstinate constipation also, wonderful j cureH have been w'rought. JFor diphtheria, sore throat and inflammation of the lungs a hot bath is one of the most potent reme dies. Woman tho Hons Traveler. ! Chicago Herald.] I “If you want proof that a woman is more cautious than a man,'’said a drum- mer, “just keep your eyes while traveling. A woman never forgets to start for a train so early that she will have forty minutes to wait. She never forgets to ask her hus band or male escort if her trunks are enteked. She never forgets to pause with u-eloss foliage or the flower? which | one foot on the ear step and one hand on BLANCHARD, BOOTH & HUFF WILL OFFER FOR THIS WEEK GREAT BARGAINS -IN— Thu purity of Mr. linmlaH's pig-iron intention? are at least not doubted in his own state, which give? a republican ma jority of si),000 and regularly send? Mr. Randall to congress. Tin-: New York Sun -peaks of demo cratic protectionist- and the Courier- Journal says there i? no such tiling as democratic protectionists. Mr. liana will presently lie murmuring of Hebrew Christ! ins, Catholic protestants and pro- hibitiot brewers. Thk senate, while considering a bill relating to tho appointment and compen sation of a United States district judge for the southern district of Alabama, agreed to an amendment, fixing the salaries of ail district judges at $5000 per annum, the amendment being tlie hill recently defeated by the senate. The hill, an amended, was passed. While a Chicago court is employed in preliminaries for the triel of the mob leaders who murdered seven of their brave policemen and wounded liftv oth ers, during the labor excitement and riots two months ago, a small gang of switch- men in the stock yards are engaged in getting up other riots which may at any time run into similar siwnliec of life. Chicago seems to be dominated by a law less lot. It happens quite often that when men goon a drunken spree for “fun” they find, on coming to their sober senses, that they have made themselves subject to prison punishment for freaks they scarcely thought of at the time. But here is a ease from the lake region that tells of three wild fellows who got drunk, stole a vessel to taken sail, and who now find thut the vessel they stole was Of a character that makes their conduct piracy, for which the punishment fixed by the United States law is death ! Sup posing they were simply a trio of drunken thieves running off with a bout in a frolic, they sober up to find them selves pirates. It is, of course, not a mat ter of practical morals to advise men --who get drunk to keep those important legal distinctions in mind while they are drunk ; hut it may not lie amiss to advise such men not to get drunk at all. Not much legislation in the way of “jobbery” is to lie feared at this session of congress unless it comes in the guise of pension Mils; and the chief reason (In- apprehension as to these is because they can he covered lip by the cloak of patriot ism, and so be made to serve the purposes of demagogues who will advocate any measure likely to catch votes. But look out for the second session. A congres sional election comes between now and then. For this reason the scheming member will now avoid all legislation (always excepting pensions) that has an unmistakable flavor of jobbery about it, ! but will take readily to the devices of the demagogue. The second or short session brings the chance for tho jobber; the election is over, and, if the schemer lias been re-elected, lie is safe for three sessions thereafter, no matter how lie votes; and, if he lias been defeated, why then, of course, lie votes entirely regard less of consequence. ON A I,1UMI Till XK LINK. If our readers will take a map of the j I nited States and measure the distance from Kansas City to Fort Scott, and from there via Memphis,Birmingham, Colum bus and Macon to Savannah, and then measure tlie same distance from Kansas'' City in a line towards New York, they will doubtless lie surprised to find how much nearer it is to Savannah than to Now York. Indeed Savannah is the nearest point on the Atlantic coast to the | great west. From thence by steamer the ! distance is not more than “-’>0 miles, in ) "hat is called by railroad men prorate, of railroad in « carrying freight. | Adding this to the distance it will bo found that the nearest route from Kan sas t ity, and ot course from all points j south and west of that place, to New York or Europe is by Savannah. Then "bon we consider that this whole south ern line will be owned by two companies and that the fixed charges are perhaps not over half as much per mile as bv any northern roads, and you will begin to ap- 1 preciate the immense advantages which | this new route will have over all others. To think that this magnificent scheme is about to be accomplished ; that in all probability it will he kkI to be i the green TIIK IJl'KKN (IK TIIK (TIATTAIIOOCHKK. it is with much pleasure that we call attention of the reader to tlie charac ter of tho news in our local columns this morning. II means great things for Columbus, and our people should not fail to make the most of the opportunity. Jn the first place there has been no better new s in the Eqkihrk-Skn for some time than t he confirmation of the infor mation that the Columbus and Western road will be extended. The paragraphs about the Georgia Midland and Gulf evinces the high success with which that road is being pushed in the construction. The figures and statistics we present with reference to the river business is of the most encouraging character. A real estate broker testifies to the fact that property of that character is in good demand, and that the tendency is upward. Many other news items demon strate that our people are hopeful and have the brightest anticipations for the future of the city. No one can carefully peruse the columns of the ExqriREH-Sux this morning and not arrive at the con clusion that there is a bright out-look for Columbus, and there is not a line hut what is true and nothing overdrawn. If anything, these subjects are not pre sented in as favorable light as the actual circumstances and surroundings would justify. These tilings are all encouraging. Co lumbus is throwing oft the effects of the late depression in trade, just as she did tiie disheartening influences when the city was left a blackened heap upon the hanks of tiie Chattahoochee, having been reduced to ashes and sacked by tho fed eral army just after the war. But there is another standpoint from which tiie city may be viewed and from whieli it will hear favorably the most critical comparison, It is in the home of her citizens. The home is the fountain of happiness, and it is the one spot on earth that should he guarded from needless shadows. Home and ! beauty should be inseparably linked to gether in tiie life of the humblest I man and woman as well as in 1 i the life of the most exalted. Wealth is | good in its place, but it needs no wealth of gold or delicacy of art to make home | j inviting and lovely. Tiie goi is the architect for the poor and horny I ; hands can plant the tree and shrub, and j the child, schooled to the refining love of ] the beautiful, can train tiie simple flower to deck the little window j J in elegance that Solomon, in ! all ids glory, could not create: The re sults of the Avar left Columbus with her I I residences long since rusty for the want j I of paint, improvements much needed ' : and altogether an aspect of uncheerful- ! ness. To-day she presents herself one of j the most beautiful ami lovely cities in | the whole south. Her houses shine tin- 1 j der the new coatings they have received, j and in taste and ornament they are not excelled anywhere. Then, there i were many vacant lots, ur lots upon which stood insignificant hovels, that are to-day adorned with palatial residences. This great transformation has been brought about : by the indomitable energy and courage ot her citizens, coupled with prudence, caution and hard work, taking care of what was earned and putting it to the best use. The people of Columbus, as a rule, are full of eagerness and zeal, quick to perceive chances and ready tniinprn\-e them, naturally fearless and intrepid.and are not wanting in steadfast industry. For this one we are indebted to the well merited title the “ queen City of the Chattahoochee” and the “ Lowell of the South." di still their sweetness oil the desert air. As the husbandman only expect? good fruit after the laborious process of plant ing, pruning and grafting, so also may parents, teachers and society at large only expect useful growth and healthful de velopment when tlii- idea of fruit-hear ing lives: is engrafted deeply in the cur riculum of popular education. “Nothing hut leaves” and “wasted lives’’ might appropriately be written i upon the tombstones of the many win the handrail, to inquire if she is on the right train. She never forgets to ask the conductor if she has to change ears before reaching tier destination, and if she is sure of making a connection, and it the train stops at the place where she Avants to get oil. She never loses a ticket or train cheek, never drops her hat out of the Avin doAv, never permits herself to go to sleep within one hundred miles of her destina tion for fear that she may ride by, never fails to get a Avhole seat for herself and an other for her luggage, never Avalks from one car to another unless the train is I standing still and never gets up from her , seat to leave a train AVithout turning to look and see if she has forgotten anything. < 1 J A time. die.

List of unclaimed letters remaining in the Co- ' I unibus, Ga., post office for the week ending June 26th. If not called for within thirty days will be §e*ut to the Dead Letter Office: VETOES. Out of 310 bills passed by congress the president has vetoed 94, making a little over one-third the whole number. These vetoes are nearly all of bills granting pensions to persons who were not entitled to them under the law and the rules of, the pension office. They are now sent j nS r mi 9 c R °T hack to the house where they originated and unless passed by two-thirds they are lost for the present session. We will wait with great interest to see what .the emdocrats in the senate and house will do about it. They can pre vent the passage of every one of them and in our opinion ought to do so. The president has had the courage to condemn this wholesale business of grant ing pensions in which congress has been engaged, lie ought to he sustained and the responsibility shared by his party. A New York stock exchange paper is exerting itself to induce foreign holders of confederate I Haveiin/VSUH bonds to disabuse their minds of the impression i Harris, R that there is a chance to induce the United States government to assume their payment. When this laudable effort finishes itself in suc cess, the next endeavor will be appropriately to persuade the ex-eor federate soldiers that they will not be put on the pension roll, and then it might be considered in order to discuss the re demption of the continental currency.

It is fortunate for the nation that it has a man in the white house able and willing to balk some at least of the raids on the treasury to which the presence of a surplus is a standing temptation. Ouida, the famous writer of salacious novels, is described as a woman of exemplary life wholly devoted to her mother and a pet dog. A man is known by his companions, but a woman is c. dently not to be judged by her works.

A Columbus gentleman who is now in New York, writes the Enquirer-Sun a private letter, i in which lie makes some suggestions that are ! worthy of attention from the public. We take I the liberty of giving the following extract from it : "Mi l HIM, HI T I.KAYKN." iv is a snug- of this name whoso impress tiie stir up tiie huai'ts.

"Noth in" but leaves” is deeply suggestive, not only on account of the witching harmo nies to which it is set, but on account of the thoughts it inspires. Christ immor talized the idea when he cursed the bar ren tie tree. Foliage is beautiful and re freshing to tiie senses, but fruit is better.

Have an hour or two a day devoted to mechanical pursuits. It serves us a recreation for the boys and their pro gress is remarkable. They are taught archi tectural drawing, moulding, turning, working in metal—almost everything; and boys from ten to fifteen do work that would surprise you. The principal expense would lie the building of a work room contiguous to the schools. The machinery is inexpensive. The lathes, furnaces, anvils, &c., &c., are all small and must cost very little. At first, the city would have to hire a mechanic or two for nil hour a day, or perhaps the foundry and factories, to forward so benevolent a purpose, would give the use of a hand for an hour a day to instruct the boys in the use of machinery. After the first year the school would furnish its own instructors from among the pupils. In the school that I visited I saw many boys of twelve to fourteen who could teach as much as boys would want to learn to make them desirable and self-supporting as apprentices for a much shorter term than they would otherwise require in the foundry, factories and other mechanical pursuits which must continue to multiply a;- the city increases, and when mechanical knowledge becomes recreative, for the hour given to this in dustry is really a recreation to the boys. Ten young men will learn mechanical pursuits wnere one would do so if he had to go into a shop to be apprenticed in the first place.” Bathing in Warm Water. The Sanitary World considers cleanli ness not only essential to good health, but also a mark of good breeding'. The work man, by the clinging of dust to his per spiring person, becomes a fit subject for the bath-tub very frequently; too frequent bathing, however, is weakening. It may not be advisable to take a bath morning and evening, as some medical journals ad vise; but there should be a good washing frequently enough to keep the person clean. Warm baths will often prevent the most virulent diseases. A person who may be in fear of having received infection of Gas and water works.
