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. Personal. —We .are pleased to know that our j former agent, Mr. Geo. H.

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.

His visits are very irregular. Sometimes it will be four or five weeks before I see him; then again, he will come once a week for awhile. I love him devotedly, although he has never told me directly that he loved me. I am very much per plexed about this affair, and come to you for ad vice.

He labored faithfully for The Sunny South, and manifested tindimin- ished interest in its success, and we shall be pleased to hear of his individual success in his new field of labor. The Centennial Tea-Party on the 23d instant, at the Markham House, under the auspices of the Y. M. L., is bound to be a success. The thirteen original States will be represented by ladies from those States, and those having no native representatives here, will be represented by Georgia ladies.

It will be seen that “King Lear,” with the ex ception of its tragical termination, is very much like a transcript of the story, which is called “words are wind.” “ The wise Emperor, Theodosius, had three daughters.

Fashionable young lady at the coun 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. Alighting from the train last Friday evening, and hurrying toward our shining home-star, 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 less spears that he had hoped soon to see bristling on the horizon; but he concealed his emotion, and wrote off for aid to his second daughter.

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. Answers to Enigmas A student of Alonmoutli College, Illinois, was to be married at a certain hour, and his fellow- students resolved to capture and imprison him until after the time. He was informed of the plan, and during the preceeding night barri caded the doors of his boarding house, success fully resisting the efforts of his persecutors to enter. They used a battering ram on the doors until the proprietor fired on them, and climbed up ladders to the windows until two were scalded with hot water. In the morning they attended the wedding with black crape on their hats and arms, agitating the bride so that she fainted away, and they finally capped the 61imax of their ruffianism by a fight at the depot with policemen who would not permit them all to kiss her.

If so, we are ready to “acknowl edge the corn.” as Annie suggests, as we always are, when wrong. “ To err is human.” But if we could only find a leisure moment, we should like to consult our standard grammarians on this one sentence, for we hardly think it parallel with the sentences cited. “Mutton Head,” of Chapel Hill, Texas, says he is in love with a “Daisy” in his town, and she called him an “old goose,” and will not go out with him any more. He wishes to know if he must tell her “ what he thinks of her or wear crape on his hat. ” She should not have called you a “goose,” but a regular “sheep head,” and instead of crape you had better wear a good bell as an alarm against sheep-killing dogs. We do not see how you have escaped thus far, unless there is a dog law in operation in Texas. She is decidedly sensible in declining to have such a sheepish admirer.

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.
