Now tlmt the worst is over, it appears to u* that Charleston has robbed I’hila- ielphia of her title. Philadelphia is no longer the Quaker City. Fortunately, the yellow fever scare turned out to he nothing more than a scare. Earthquakes and yellow fever to gether would he visiting a deal of alllic- tion upon the south. A Chicago paper comes out this week with pictures of all the bank presidents iu the city. If they look no more like ((he originals than some of the wood-cuts published in Georgia, they will lie of lit tle service to the detectives. In Italy there are earthquake insmance notupanies, run on the basis of tire and life insurance companies, li looks as if siu-h an organization might effect quite a (tonsiderublc number of policies in South Carolina arid Georgia at tho present time. Tins racing of the fancy sloops is some what like the fancy target shooting of tho international teams. Just as no such shooting could ever take place in actual practice in the field, so no such vessels is ihe Mayflower or the Galatea could ever be engaged in practical commerce. Turat the savage Geranium according to law and Ids deserts, whether he shall be hanged or locked up in prison for the rest of Ids life. Unless one or the other jf these sentences is the result of the speedy trial he ought to get, the govern ment will he accessory before, the fact to any further murders he may commit— and murders he will commit if he sjjall ever again be allowed to run loose. There is a great deal of truth in tlte observation of the Philadelphia Record that the want of clearness in the remarks of the specialists about the earthquake irises from the want of knowledge. The ludicrous celerity with which one visit ing professor, who lmd confidently pre dicted a cessation oft he shocks, skipped from a Charleston hotel to the battery on Saturday showed that even scientific dignity isn’t half so big a thing as the instinct of self-preservation. Day before yesterday the anin of cor respondents sent down to report tlie earthquake proceedings at Charleston left for Imme. Tho reports yesterday aiorning showed almost an entire cessa- ttipn of sand geysers, cobble-stone slmwers. ghastly crosses, slight shocks, etc. In searching for the cause of these phennm- »«a Prof. McGee should have bored into and examined the bruins of some of these reporters. He would have rewarded science by finding the prime cause. I’m .mi A i.kxaniikr of Battcnburg will probably go to England, where a snug oolonelship in one of the “crack” regi ments is already awaiting him. He would scarcely decline the offer, for in England a colonelcy means a high com mand and the chances of doing some fighting in grim earnest at a very early period. Die offer ot such a command ami its acceptance would be construed by Russia ns a studied insult on the part uftlie British nation, but there isn't much respect for Russian opinion, good m-bad, in the latitude of London. I srKAMIK COINCIl»K>iCE. On Wednesday night last a young lady ji Macon danced herself speechless. Strange as it may appear,that very night, md for ought we know at that very hour, # dumb girl in Savannah began to talk. To a serious and thinking mind this is a magnificent example of the eternal •quilibrium of forces. What the world wins in one place it loses in another. This rule holds good amid the great and the small forces of nature, whether you »l>ply if to an earthquake or a woman’s tongue. The royal historical society of Great Britain is preparing to commemorate in October of the present year the 800th anniversary of the Domesday survey of Englanc(, made by William the Con queror in lOSli. The original Domesday book, containing a survey of all the estates iu the realm at that date, is pre served with great care in the British museum, but experts persist in asserting that it is a forgery. It is one of the greatest sources of pride to a Britisher to And a remote ancestor mentioned by name in Domesday book,and the coming selebration is sure to he largely attended. NOT WOOIM’t'TN THIN TINE. The AtlantaCVinstitution of Friday eon- tains a column letter describing Tallulah Falls, written by a young lady evidently just out of college. AVo haven’t read it, of course; we are not doing penance now. And it is not its composition we would criticise, for it may he a very creditable production. It is tho architecture of the letter that paralyzes U8, Perhaps wo ought to say the letter impresses us more as a work of art Limn us a composition. The quotations of ecstatic poetry are in- tevsticeil so regularly between the para graphs of proso that on first glancing at i his beautiful description of the falls as it runs up and down the column one can not resist the impression that he is gazing at the photograph of a dozen links of sausage. As we said, the compo sition may be creditable; indeed, we sus pect i I is “just too sweet for anything.” But it is as a work of art that tho letter will become celebrated. Jf some grocer or butcher will have it stereotyped and framed and hung out for a sign.it will fetch tin 1 customer that is looking for sausage every time. It’ll “fetch” him n hundred yards “off hand.” And after further contemplation tills letter looks like something else. In fact the tumest imagination runs riot over such an extraordinary letter. After bnckiugotfand peeping at it askant, you can see that it is a good picture of a freight train climbing a hill. Itrequires but a faint olfort of the imagination to see that the first bulky prose paragraph under the tripple head is a mogul en gine. The succeeding prose paragraphs are the. box cars, and the dainty stanzas of poetry in between are the iron bump ers. Ydfc, they are bumpers in more senses than one. Railroads getting up guide book advertisements would do well to let their engraver tackle this let ter with his chisel. He could engrave it and call it a train climbing a moun tain grade. We were about to Say that this letter reminded us of something else besides a freight train and a link of sausage. But there is no telling where these resemblances would stop. The letter changes like a cliame- lion every time von look at it. But through all its changes it remains the same incomparable, inimitable, incom prehensible, incompatible, double-breast ed, lie plus ultra, grand-high-coekalorum work of art. When a college girl with a heart full of sentiment and a head full of adjectives tackles Tallulah Falls, tho pen is so much mightier than the sword that the latter crawls into its sealibord and li ides from very fright. In cases of this kind wary and experienced newspapers know enough to get out of the way of an explo sion. We are surprised that as shrewd a paper as the Atlanta Constitution got hit, and Hit so hard, too. TWO HEARTS THAT HEAT AS TWO. Mrs. Victoria Morosini Schilling hav ing deserted her husband and gone back to the liosoni of her family, coachman Schilling is unloading the family secrets us to how his wife did tiie courting, and is telling all he knows generally, to the great delight of New York reporters. A divorce suit will be begun soon, -ami the developments promise to be salacious to flic last degree. When the decree of di vorce is granted the curtain will have fallen and the farce will he ended, it teaches a lesson, though farce as it is. It teaches first, that marrying is not always muting, and that a woman who selects a husband as she would a horse sim ply because lie is a mag nificent animal, will lin’d to her hitter regret, sooner or later, that -lie got what site bargained fur, and nothing more—a splendid animal. Schilling is illiterate, coarse, sensual. Victoria Morisini is deli cate, refined, cultured and tasty as most women in her station in life. She had been the pet daughter of a millionaire. Such a union could produce nothing hut misery. It was another case of “Beauty mid the Boast,” l’oor girl ; she was fool ish, but tilio lias paid for it. Her youthful indiscretion will be a thorn in her side for life. What a pity that just when wo need experience most we have tiie least of it—in youth. Mr. .Schilling, who found himself the hero of two continents just after tiie epi sode, must be pondering upon how ephemeral a thing fame is; for he is now yanking a streetcar mule at two dollars a day, with none so poor as to do him homage. And it is not at all improbable that some of the profanity he bestows upon the mule is meant for fate and the world in general. WATCH THE SElit’KNT. An old fable told by Pilpay might well apply to those labor organizations in this country that in spite of warnings and pro testations persist in admitting anarchists and socialists to their membership. Two travelers, one of whom was blind, says the fabulist, were overtaken by night on tiie highway and camped in an adjoin ing field. In tlie morning the blind man picked up a snake which was dulled by tiie cold instead of his whip. He felt that it was pliable and smooth and re joiced that he had found a whip so much better tlntn his old one. llis companion, however, seeing the mistake he had made, called out to drop his supposed whip as it was a serpent that, being warmed to life, would surely poison him. But the blind traveler said that the other only wanted to get his whip away from him, and that lie would pick it up as soon as it was thrown away. All in vain the other protested and warned the sight less traveler, for no sooner did the morn ing grow warm than tiie snake bit him to death. Now, the trades unions that admit anarchists are like the blind trav eler with_ the snake. Just as surely as the blind man was poisoned, just so sure ly will the cause of labor lie corrupted and injured by any dallying with bloody- minded anarchy. THE EDITOR'S liltIIIK. MOST WHOLESOME Young ladies who contemplate marry ing editors would do well to paste this in their liats, or, more properly, on their mirrors: A couple walked into a justice court in Lansing, Michigan, one day las! week and asked to be married. The cere mony was performed at once. At its lusion tiie bride burst into tours and I purchased a package of CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR RAKING POWDER of Messrs. Park & Tilford, in New York, and have made a careful analysis of the same. I find it to consist of Pure Cream of Tartar, mingled with such other subbed most pitifully. “What is the matter?” asked the groom. “Oh, my! Do forgive me,” pleaded tho weeping wife of only a minute, “I never told you that I didn’t know how to cook,” Tho groom put his arm around her tenderly and whispered, “Don’t fret, darling. 1 won’t have any thing for you to cook. I’m an editor.” SNAKE MEN TO THE KKAIt. A lady living in Athens was struck by light ning when she was about eighteen years of age. since then, whenever a cloud comes up, she feels the same sensation she felt when first struck.— Athens Oa.! Banner. In otiier words, every time a cloud rises the lightning strikes Iter again. It must if she feels the same sensations. Tiie men who have been tiptoeing in their ef forts to tell big snake stories tliis summer did nobly; some of them surpassed all former records. But, poor fellows, they must go to the rear. The Athens Banner is munching the cake. ingredients as render it an effective and desirable Baking Powder, and that it does not contain any Alum, Terra Alba, or any adulteration whatever. Ii is in my estimation among the mest wholesome compositions for a Baking Powder of which I have any knowledge. HENRY MORTON, Ph. D., President of the Stevens Institute of Technology. Hoboken, New Jersey, December Ilth, 1878. CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR RAKING POWDER being pure and free from Ammonia, Lime, Alum, Terra Alba, or any adulteration whatever, and having great leavening power, I do not hesitate to recommend as worthy of public confidence for producing light, digestible, and wholesome bread. JAMES F. BABCOCK, State Assayer of Massachusetts. Boston, Mass., Aug. 14,1884. ——J.'JJE-JIU ! 8 'LLU1L.J We Are Here! Professor Leon and cortege are iu Flovilla. He will give a performance on the ninth instant at the spring, to which point he has gone. Two excursion trains will be run on that day, one from Atlanta and the other from Macon. Great crowds are looked for fYom the surrounding country also.—Atlanta Constitution. Is Prof. Leon going to bathe? Such is the inference from the paragraph above. From the excitement and excursion trains and all that, he must be a sight when lie is bathing. Tiie entire return of taxable property, real and personal, in Geoigia, contained in the digests just made publio, is $300,628,153. Last year the return of this class of property was $599,140 798. These figures show an increase in the class of property returned in the county tax digests of $7,381^3.55. The total values indicated by the tax digests do not represent the total taxable prop erty of the state. There must be $22,038,975 which the railroad property of the state is subject to taxation. This will give a grand total of the tax able property of the state of $329,107,125. From time to time books have been published professing to express the secrets of Freemasonry, but it was reserved for the earthquake to give away an important feature in the process of Ma sonic initiation. While a lodge of Masons was in session at Cleveland, O., and the initiation of a candidate was in progress, the shock scared the candidate so badly that he rushed through the streets with a cable about his waist. When the next mishap reveals the billy-goat, the red-hot poker and the coffin feminine curiosity as to the Masonic ordeal will be effectually laid to rest. But Not Long to Remain at These Prices. Isn't it about time that Cluverius and Max well, the convicted and duly sentenced murder ers, were strung up V The impression is getting abroad that a man or woman can be killed with Impunity in any part of the United States for what it costs to fee a smart lawyer. NEW FALL GOODS The prohibitionists have nominated candi dates in all the congressional districts of Mary land. Of course, the only question is as to whether they will be elected or not. Congressman Samuel J. Randall has been suffering for several days with the gout. Even a protective tariff couldn’t keep out the foreign port wine with its attendant evils. Martin Irons has been jailed in Kansas City for drunkenness. It has been some time since Martin amounted to anything among the Knights of Labor. The Philadelphia Press still belongs to the class of newspapers that have people go to hear a base ball match. A CARD.
