THE GEORGIA CAPITAL.
Notwithstanding the metropolitan or National charac
ter of The Sunny South, we are compelled to have a de
partment for local notices. The growing importance and
sensational character of this city cannot be ignored.
LOCAL NOTES.
[For The Sunny Soutlj.]
ORIGIN OF KINO LEAR.
BY MBS. M. LOUISE CROSSLEY.
In a recent number of The Sunny South, a
scholarly contributor to its columns gives some
striking instances of literary forgeries, and
alludes to the finding of many such examples
in the writings of Shakspeare. If he of Strat-
ford-on-Avon, with his wonderful genius, and
open avenues to every passion of the heart and
every phase of human nature, sometimes had
recourse to the creative power of others, should
not the “lesser lights” be pardoned for tread
ing timidly, on some occasions, in the footsteps
of their illustrious predecessors ?
About the first of December a rise in the poul
try market is anticipated, owing to a gathering
of ministers at Griffin.
A number of weddings are reported to be “ in
prospective.” Among them, several female
teachers in the public schools.
The Episcopal congregations united on Sun- i
day at St. Luke's Church, and listened to an elo- j
quent sermon by Bishop Beckwith.
The work of registration has to be done over
again in Atlanta, owing to the fact that no one
complied with the law when registering.
Colonel Jack Wallace is now called the
Sankey of Atlanta. The Centennial Tea-Party
should have him sing that railroad song.
Our young friend, Charles A. Collier, thinks
his daughter the brightest, prettiest, sweetest
thing in town, if it is only five days old and
w eighs nine pounds.
The young lady who got up at midnight to
cook breakfast w T ill make a model wife. If she
rises so early, what will her bread do ? How un
fortunate to be without a time-piece !
We have had pleasant calls from Kevs. J. W.
Burke, S. Boykin, J. B. Reese, of the Eatonton
Messenger, Col. AV. G. McAdoo, of Milledgeville,
Ga., and Judge Jas. S. Hook, of Augusta, Ga.
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Hunt, recently of the pop
ular Richmond House, of Gainesville, have
taken charge of the Thompson House, of this
city, on Whitehall street, and will keep a first-
class boarding house. Give them a call.
McBride & Co. are constantly adding to their
immense stock fresh importations of beauti
ful china, stoneware, toys and countless novel
ties direct from Europe. Call at this splendid
establishment and see the display.
That prince of all clever and accommodating
gentlemen, Charley Herbst, received a barrel of
the genuine “Bell Flower ” apples from his “old
Kentucky home;” but he could not enjoy them
without handing some around to his friends.
Prof. Henry Gwinn, the accomplished cos
mopolitan, has just given us a call. He is di
rect from Saratoga, and en route for Jacksonville,
Florida, where he will take permanent quarters
at the St. James Hotel, and make himself gen
erally useful in every department. He will no
doubt add greatly to the amusement and general
entertainment of the multitudes who will spend
the winter there.
The Markham House was turned over com
pleted on the loth to AA'illiam Markham. Esq.
The contract for building it was signed on the
18th of June, and the house completed on the
14th of November— three days less than five
months. It contains 107 sleeping-rooms, and
all the modern conveniences. There are two
miles of piping in it, and it has the only elec
trical enunciator in the South. The sun shines
into every window. The building will cost
$90,000. Mr. Markham has built forty-eight
houses, but this is a monument to him.

We Give it Up.
AVe did not suppose a single correct solution
would ever come in to the big Ji puzzle, but to
our astonishment, there are some half dozen or
more in hand, and one young fellow of Rich
mond is really amused at the idea of its being
new. Like Dr. Low, of egg-conundrum renown,
we are ready to exclaim, “Did you ever !” Indeed,
we did not know there was so much keen per
ception, so much mathematical talent, so much
general native intellect as we have discovered in
all the departments of The Sunny South.

It is the age of candor (ride the pull-back,
which is frankness intensified). AVe had another
illustration lately. Formerly, ladies painted
their faces with locked doors, and not even their
“dearest darling friends” were admitted into
the secret. But it seems our belles have grown
more candid, judging frem a little circumstance
we witnessed yesterday. Scene, a store upon

ter examining a “stand” of rouge. Young
lady,—“I am afraid this rouge will give a brick-
dust color to my cheeks.” Obliging young
clerk,—“Oh, no, Aliss; it’s real carmine color.
Let me show you;” and taking the stand in his
dainty digits, he rubbed the rouge skillfully on
each of the young lady's cheeks, dusts out the
dimples with his handkerchief, and exclaims,
as he holds up a hand mirror: “There ! you see
that’s just perfect.” The young lady bought the
rouge.

a mighty king. Then he came to the second,
and asked her how much she loved him.
“ ‘ As much as I do myself, ’ she answered. The
Emperor married her to a Duke. Afterwards, he
inquired of his third daughter:
“ ‘And how much do you love me?’
“ ‘As much as you deserve, and no more,’ was
the somewhat pert response. Her father thought
that an Earl was good enough for her.
“ Some time afterward, the Emperor was beaten
in battle by the King of Egypt, and driven from
the land he had long ruled so wisely. In his 1
distress, he naturally thought of his affectionate
first-born; and writing an epistle with his own
hand, entreated her, in most pathetic words, to
succor him. Her husband was willing to assist
his father-in-law to the utmost of his power, but
the unnatural daughter declared that five knights
only should be sent him, to remain with him
until he could regain his crown. Theodosius
was heavy of heart when he saw but five horse
men riding toward him. instead of the count

on the horizon; but he concealed his emotion,
and wrote off for aid to his second daughter.
She was willing to find him food and clothing

misfortunes, but would not suffer her ‘Doughty
Duke’ to lead an army into the field in his behalf.

Answers to Problems.
AIr. Editor,—Since your last issue, I find that
I am incorrect, and that one of your correspond
ents is correct. Problem No. 1 can be solved by
arithmetic. The correct solution is by allega
tion alternate, where the whole compound is
limited to a particular quantity. By this means,
it is ascertained that the number of books are in
proportion to each other as 1 to 3 to 10. Then
in 70 books there will be 5 at $3.00—$15.00; 15
at $2.00—$30.00; and 50 at 50 cents—$25.00,
making in all 70 books for 70 dollars.
Now, then, as to the answers to the last prob
lems. Ten dollars will double itself at 0 per
cent, compound interest in 11 years 10 months
and 21 days.
In problem No. 4, I find the proportion of
brandy and water in vessel “C” to be as 1 to 7.
And 10 cents per dozen is the price of eggs in
problem No. 5. R. A. AI.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
Special to Ailvertisera.—We hare uniformly de
clined to insert advertisements in this paper at any price,
but the pressure to secure even a small space in it has
been very great, and we have reluctantly consented to
open two columns to a few lirst-class advertisers. None
others need apply. Fifty cents per line will be charged for
each and every insertion. There will bo no variation from
these rates. The matter will be set and measured in
solid nonpareil, with an average of from nine to ten words
to the line. A few responsible, first-class houses can se
cure a little space at these rates.—[Prop. Sunny South.

Anonymous, Cochran, asks twoj questions.
“1. What is the difference between chancellor and
dean of universities?” and says Webster makes
no difference. “2. What is the plural of tail
or’s goose?” . . . The chancellor of a univer
sity is the chief officer, and seals the diplomas or
letters of degrees. In England, the chancellor
is elected from the nobility. The dean is simply
an officer ip a college or university. In England,
he is an ecclesiastical dignitary in cathedral and
college churches. In the United States, he is a
registrar of the faculty, and the title is usually
given to an officer in medical colleges. The
plural of goose is geese, whether it be a tailor’s
goose or John Smith’s.
