R. S. Waters was elected Justice of the Peace
on the eleventh, in the 1234th district. The
contest was close between his opponents. Mr.
Waters received 519 votes, Mr. Johnson 46, Mr.
Peterson 53.
The morning passenger train on the Georgia

What wonderful success has attended the
earnest labors of Phillips &■ Crew ! Their store

Allen S. Chamberlin, son of E. P. Chamber
lin, a young man of fifteen years of age, was bur

The failure of West, Edwards & Co. has been
the theme for “town talk” for several days.
Their liabilities are stated to be $318,000, and
their assets $271,000. Messrs. West & Briscoe
were placed in jail for contempt for failure to
turn over their books to the Receiver, M. H.
Castleman, appointed by Judge Hopkins. They
subsequently delivered up their books and were
released.
At A. R. Everett’s are to be seen “gems ” of
“ purest ray serene. ” There is a cluster of
twelve pearls of historic record dating back for
two centuries. They were brought from France
with the Huguenots. These pearls are set around
an amethyst in the center—the antique style of
setting. Another unique affair is a collection
known as “Bonanza, ” representing subjects from
the old masters—certainly the “ latest agony.”
The new sensational book, “Woman m Bat
tle,” or the experiences of Madame Velasquez as
a spy, a soldier, and an officer of the Confeder
ate army, is now ready for the press, the plates
being all electrotyped. We have been favored
with a sight of the very unique table of con
tents. The book is written by a distinguished
Northern writer, and Mark Twain is reported to
have said that it will be the book of the season.
One of its most important features is the revela
tion it makes of the manner in which the secret
service of the Confederacy was carried on.
The friends of the projected Atlanta Free Edu
cational and Industrial School seem to be thor- |
oughly in earnest. Mrs. Westmoreland’s and j
Mrs. Gabbett's letters on the subject are full of j
feeling and purpose, and we trust that they will |
succeed in enthusing others of their sex, and I
in securing the sincere co-operation of all benev- j
olent and public-spirited citizens. These ladies,
however, must be content to begin on a small j
scale, as did Mrs. Hodges, who, on a small pri- j
vate foundation in New York, built up the flour- |
ishing Free Industrial and Domestic Training |
School for Girls. *
FASHION NOTES.
Furs.—In furs this winter, the long, lovely
boas are the most fashionable. We saw at Mrs.
Lewis Clarke’s, elegant sets of real mink from
twenty to thirty-five dollars, and lovely As-
trachan sets from eight to fifteen dollars.
Ties of twilled silk or crepe de Chine, lace-
trimmed, are the most fashionable. Neckties
trimmed with lace are more elegant than those all
lace, unless the lace is very choice. Real or im
itation, antique and point are the kinds most in
vogue. The lovely Shetland shawls and scarfs
of white fleecy wool are very light and pretty to
wear around the neck, and are uniformly becom
ing, as is also the cream-tinted lace, imitation
point and thread for scarfs.
Hats and Bonnets.—Birds of every color still
perch upon coquettish little hats of pearl-giay,
brown, or cameo-tinted felt, or nestle as natural
as life among the clusters of tea-roses and au
tumn leaves and trailing sprays of ivy that adorn
the “loves of bonnets” displayed in many tempt
ing shop windows, and so becomingly worn by
our bright-eyed belles. We saw at Mrs, McCor
mick’s a perfect Eden of lovely flowers, with
rare birds and costly plumes. We were particu
larly attracted by a beautiful snowbird, with soft
white feathers striped and tipped with brown
and black, a lovely brown and a splendid green
humming-bird, all among clusters of full-blown
scarlet and blush roses and bunches of creamy
sofrano buds.
At the opening of the season, it was said that
only ostrich tips, one, two and three, would
adorn the hats and bonnets, combined with the
profuse trimmings of brilliant-colored flowers;
but we notice in all the most fashionable shops,
and worn by the leading “ton,” the long, grace
ful, curling ostrich plumes of every delicate
shade imaginable, winding half around the crown
and drooping down to the shoulders. We saw a
“love of a hat” of pearl-gray French felt. trimmed
with self-colored velvet and a long, curling plume
of the same exquisite shade, fastened with a large
pearl arrow.
Colors and Trimming.—Elegant as are the del
icate wood and neutral tints, the bright, warm
cardinal red enters largely into everything; it
runs through many of the fashionable plaids, is
seen in the ties, and adorns the bonnet, the cor
sage, the hair, in flowers of that warm color, and
in birds, plumes and wings, brightening up all
l the grave tints with a wonderful and becoming
/brilliancy.

whereof the inhabitants all are kings.”

Lord, if I have done well, thou knowast it; if
ill, unto thy infinite mercy I commit my soul.”
PHEBE.
BY MBS. N. OBR.
From the hills the streams are welling; red the maple-
buds are swelling;
Withes of willow, lithe and golden, sway above the grassy
ground;
In a heavenly baptism falls the cloudlets' pearly chrism
On the ilow’rets, while the Phebe birds are singing all
around.
Darts the sun his fiery lances where the laughing brooklet
dances,
Flashing back the ozier catkins with a rippling silver
sound,
Till the sweet Arbutus, creeping from the bed where it
lay sleeping,
Whispered—“List, oh list, the Phebe birds are singing
all around!’’
“Phebe, Phebe, Phebe, Phebe!”—Ah! the coquette, where
can she be ?
Hiding "neath the browned branches, or the sloping mossy
eave.
“Phebe, Phebe, Phebe, Phebe,”—thou embodied little
Hebe.
Trill him back a merry carol, nor thy faithful lover grieve.
From her nest, so still and holy, warbles she in soft notes
lowly—
Tempt me not with song and pleasure to your bright and
airy round,
For I hear the hopes that wrestle with my fears until they
nestle
'Neath my winy, while other Phebe birds are singing all
around.
Little Things. —Little fortunes bring the most
content, and little hopes the least disappoint
ment.
Little words are the sweetest to hear; little
charities fly farthest, and stay longest on the
wing; little lakes are the stillest, little hearts
the fullest and little farms the best tilled. Lit
tle books are the most read, and little songs the
most loved. And when nature would make
anything especially rare and beautiful, she
makes it little — little pearls, little diamonds,
little dews.
“ Everybody,” says a writer, “ calls that little
which they love best on earth. We once heard
a good sort of a man speak of his little wife,
and we fancied that she must be a perfect little
bijou of a wife. We saw her, and she weighed
210 pounds; we were surprised. But then it
it was no joke—the man meant it. He could
put his wife in his heart and have room for
other things besides; and what was she but pre
cious, and what was she but little ?”
Multum in parvo—much in little—is the great
beauty of all that we love best, hope for most,
and remember the longest
An Arkansas man ate a pint of sawdust a few
days ago, on a bet. An intelligent physician,
who was called in, told him that he would have
pain in his lumber region if he stuck to such
board as that.
HUMOR.
“Thebe, John, that’s twice you’ve come home
and forgotten that lard.” “La, mother, it was
so greasy that it slipped my mind.”
A bolt of lightning struck a tree in front of a
Chicago alderman’s house the other night, and
in his fright the alderman remarked, “Hold on !
I’ll restore the money.”
Some young men in Louisville have formed an
“ anti-lift-your-hat-to-a-woman society.” Now
let the Louisville young ladies form an “ anti-
bo w-to-a-puppy society.”
A Covington boy being asked by his teacher
the other day what occasioned the saltness of the
sea, after reflection, advanced with some confi
dence the opinion that it “must be owing to the
codfish.”
When a Missouri engineer ditched his train,
he faintly asked: “Did it kill anyone who part
ed his hair in the middle ?” They answered that
three such were lying dead. “Then I die hap
py !” he sighed, and was soon no more.
Teacher—“Who was the first man. Head
scholar—“Washington; he was the first in war,
first in peace, and first—” Teacher—“No, no,
Adam was the first man.” Scholar—“Oh if you
are talking of foreigners, I s’pose he was.”
A bumpkin once dining with the Governor of
Rhode Island,'where part of the entertainment
consisted of champagne and preserved limes,
was asked by his host at the conclusion how he
liked his dinner. “Well, Guvner, your cider is
very good, but darn your pickles !”
An Englishman was boasting to a Yankee that
they had a book in the British Museum which
was once owned by Cicero. “Oh, that ain’t
nothin’,” retorted the Yankee; “in the museum
in Bosting they’ve got the lead-pencil that Noah
used to check off the animals that went into the
ark. ”
Boston Globe: Professor Wise, the aeronaut,
believes that the kite principle will be of more
value in navigating the air than will balloons.
Well, we should judge that going up on the tail
of a kite was about as safe as any of the methods
heretofore adopted.
I like flying well enough.
But there ain't eueh a thunderin’ sight
O' fun in't when ye come to light.
Brown had prepared himself fora home dinner
to his liking. He sat down in the dining room
at peace with all the world, and said: “Now,
Hannah, bring the cold mutton. No hot meat
for me this weather.” Hannah hesitated for a
moment and then said: “But I done give it
away, sah !” “Give it away! Give my dinner
away?” “Yes, sir. You said if any tramps
called, to give them the cold shoulder.”
An old lady living in Ohio lost the companion
with whom she had jogged for many years. She
neglected to mark the spot of his burial by even
a stone. Not long after coming into possession
of a small legacy, a sister of the deceased said to
her: “I suppose you will now put up stones
for Daniel?” Her answer was a settler. “If the
Lord wants anything of Daniel at the resurrec
tion, I guess He can find him without a guide-
board. ”
The other day, as a Detroiter was riding on
the Pontiac road, he came across an old lady
seated in a buggy which had been halted within
a few yards of the Grand Railroad track. She
seemed to be uneasy about something, and as he
drove up she asked: “Say, Mister, hain’t you
the engine?” He politely informed her that he
was not, indeed, when she pointed to the sign
which read, “Look out for the engine,” and
added, “I’ve waited more’n two hours for the
old engine to go by; but I’ve got tired, and if it
don’t come pretty soon, I’ll drive Jright on and
go home.”
Waste.—Waste at home is responsible for
more than one-half of the crimes abroad. Waste
is akin to dishonesty. The servant who will
throw good food into the slop-pail, will take
money if she thinks no one will find her out.
It is an old saying that a woman gets rid of more
with a spoon than a man can bring in with a
shovel, and in this country we have abundantly-
proved the truth of it. The waste begins by-
leaving butter on the plate, throwing good bread
to the dogs, and ends in the reckless waste of
manhood, of womanhood, in the miserable
waste of life itself.

- Lora and Dobla, of Cuthbert ask: “Is it wrong
j for a young lady to correspond with a young
man who has completely won her heart, if par
ents object—the young man being a perfect gen
tleman in every respect?” ... If the parents
have good and sufficient reasons for objecting,
it is certainly wrong to disregard their wishes.
Their judgment in such matters is better than
that of the young folks, and daughters should
be controlled by them in these matters.
A Subscriber, Augusta, asks: “Should a young
man, after making a written engagement to call
on a young lady on a certain night, send in a
card bearing his name after arriving at her house ?
Is your temperance column open for discussion
to ascertain whether or not a Good Templar’s
pledge is binding for his natural life ?” . . .
There is no necessity for a card. The simple
announcement of your name at the door is suffi
cient. To your second question we answer, Yes.
’ Aleck, Charleston, asks: “What is the origin
of the phrase, ‘ Mind your P’s and Q’s ?’” . . .
It has various suppositious origins, but to our
mind it was due to the caution necessarily given
to printer apprentices to be cautious in distribu
ting “pi,” that they did not mistake a p for a q
or a q for a p. Doubtless, the phrase at first was,
and should be now, “Mind your p’s and q’s,”
and its wider application is, Be cautious and ob
servant; don’t be deceived by resemblances;
discriminate between things alike yet different.
John Roe, Newnan, asks: “What shall I do?
I have been in love with a young lady nearly
three years, and have been partially engaged for
two years, but have not been in any hurry to
marry, for reasons best known to myself. She
is to marry in a short time. Is it best to chal
lenge him, or use more moderate means to break
it off'?” ... Be right quiet, and let her marry.
You have no rights in the premises. If she
waited on you three years, she waited just two
and a half fbo long. You have slept over your
opportunities.
SIewton, of Covington, says: “What has ba-
come of Anna Maria Barnes, who wrote “ The
Spiral Staircase” for your paper ? I fell in love
with that story, and would like to know some
thing of the author. Is she an old lady or a
middle-aged lady, and does she live at the North
or South ? Is she a writer of much reputation ?
Please answer through your‘Answers to Corres
pondents,’and oblige.” . . . A nice little story
will be found from her in this issue. She is a
sweet young lady—quite young to write so well,
and is a native Georgian.
Dan Green, Louisville, Ky., says: “Please
give your opinion of Dean Swift.” . . . Your
name suits you; and surely you take us to be
green too, if you think we can give a correct
opinion of Jonathan Swift in a brief paragraph.
We are soon to have a new life of him by a prom
inent publishing house, and when we read it,
we may tell you what we think of him. We know
that much reproach and scandal has been heaped
on Swift, in opposition to which we refer you to
the following in the handwriting of Addison, on
the fly-leaf of one of his own works, which he
sent to Swift: “To Dr. Jonathan Swift, the most
agreeable companion, the truest friend, and the
greatest genius of his age, this Book is presented
by his most Humble Servant, the Authour.”
Sigma, Savannah, says: “I’ve heard that the
two lines in Sir Walter Scott’s well-known apos
trophe to woman,
“ When pain and anguish wring the brow,
A ministering angel thou,”
are borrowed. Can you give me any informa
tion on the point ?” . . . After Scott wrote his
“Marmion,” Henry I. T. Drury, a student of
King’s College, Cambridge, over the signature
of “ Detector,” wrote to Scott, accusing him of
plagiarizing from Vida’s Latin poems, quoting:
“ Cum dolor at que supercilio gravis imminet angor,
Fungeris angelico sola minis terio.”
And the reference is: Vida, ad Eranen, El. IIV. 21.
It was a clever hoax, and deceived Scott himself,
for there are no such lines nor piece in Vida’s
works.
T. H. S., Augusta, Ga., writes: “Not long
since, riding on the cars, I witnessed a humor
ous scene that followed quickly upon one of a
more serious nature, and I was struck with the
apparent ease with which the company glided
from a state of feeling bordering on the sublime
to that of mirth or buffoonery. An intelligent
companion remarked: ‘How true is the saying
of Napoleon: “Du sublime au ridicule il n’y a
qu’um pas.”’ Will you please tell me if this
common phrase originated with the great Napo
leon ?” . . . The first Napoleon has received
much credit for this famous phrase, “From the
sublime to the ridiculous there is but one step;”
but, no doubt, he borrowed it from Tom Paine’s
writings, which were translated into French in
1791, and in which this sentence occurs. The
sublime and the ridiculous are often so near re
lated that it is difficult to class them separately;
one step above the sublime makes the ridiculous,
and one step above the ridiculous makes the
sublime. But it is very likely that Paine obtain
ed his notion from our old college friend, Hugh
Blair, who in a certain place remarks: “It fre
quently happens that where the second line is
sublime, the third, in which he meant to rise
still higher, is perfect bombast.” And Blair
even borrowed that from the treatise of the an
cient rhetorician, Longinus, on the “Sublime.”
N., New Orleans, says: “During a trip to con
tinental Europe about twenty-five years ago, I

nent, and arose from their profane habits of
swearing. For many centuries, and especially
in the fourteenth and fifteenth, the English peo
ple were remarkable for the revolting and impious
habit of profane swearing in conversation—now
happily less frequent; and the nickname Godon
(G—d d—n) was applied to them. During the
trial of Joan of Arc, a witness was asked who
Godon was. He replied that it was a nickname
applied to the English on account of their fre
quent exclamation, “G—d d—n it.” The fol
lowing is narrated of the Maid of Orleans her
self. She was visited, while in prison at Rouen,
bv two English earls, to whom she said: “I
know that you English are determined to put
me to death, and you imagine that, after I am
dead, you will be able to conquer France; but
if there were a hundred thousand G—d d—ns
more in France than there are, they will never
conquer that kingdom.”
