Never has the interest and sympa thy of a people been more closely centered on the fate of any public man than it has during the brave battle for life of Georgia’s governor. The annual report of the Southern | Female Institute, Anniston, Ala., is 1 out and is a thing of beauty. Mr Hen ry G. Lamar is to be congratulated on his success in the upbuilding of that splendid school. The Floyd County Teacher’s Insti tute, under the direction of Superin tendent W. M. Bridges, has done a - great deal of good work during the past week. There is no class that appreciates intelligent instruction more than the teachers themselves. The Masonic Herald is a success. The last number shows the genius and ability of Editor Max Meyer- ■ hardt in fine shape, and the beauty of ij the mechanical work, due to Mr. Otis J Clements, is something to be proud of. Miss President Love, of the Buffalo, | N. Y., Woman’s Christian Temper ance Union, told the local confererce of charit.es and corrections the other | I day that if the girls would learn to g cook, sew and keep house tidily,there H would be much less whisky drinking 1 by the men. There is a sermon for ■ the mothers of girls in Miss Love’s W observations. ■" Montgomery Folsom says the At- K lantie ocean must have felt the effects of taking all the Tennessee editors to > her bosom at one time.—Waycross Herald. Yes, and before it nas recovered its strenth, down goes the Geargia weekly press press gang. Alas, poor ER ocean. If every Birmingham woman would steadfastly refuse to send orders out ■v q£ Birmingham for costumes, milli nery and shoes, hundreds of thous ands of dollars would annually re main in this city, to the infinite ad vantage of the the entire community. Such a spirit has made Atlanta a . great and prosperous city.—Birming ham News. Same over on this side, ; brother. FOR HIGHER EDUCATION. The recent innovations in the man agement of the School for the Deaf, at Cave Spring, are full of suggestive possibilities. Six months ago physi cal culture and drawing, embroider ing and wood carving were introduc ed among the pupils there, and their beneficial results are apparent to ev erybody and the state should take due cognizance of them and foster and encourage the efforts of the teachers. The same causes that result in the loss of speech and of hearing, or rather of hearing which prevents the devel opment of speech, tend to more or less enfeeble the constitution of the unfortunate child. They naturally get less healthy exercise than children who are blessed with the use of all their faculties and can run and romp at their own free will. In drawing and wood carving they show wonderful aptitude and their nimble fingers work out beautiful de signs with the needle. Now, the spirit of imitation being abnormally devel oped in their minds, the inventive faculty is more or less repressed. But set to work on such tasks as those, a spirit of invention, emulation and im provement is awakened that results in incalculable good. With the girls it is even worse than with the boys and their enforced sed entary lives cause them to grow up lacking in physical as well as mental vigor and the free use of their limbs. Physical culture alleviates this trou ble and prescribes intelligent exercise in the direction in which it is most needed to develop the muscles and lung capacity. As Prof. Connor has tried to impress on the public, this in not strictly an eleemosynary institution where the unfortunate find a temporary asylum. It is, and should be, an educational institution of the very highest order, and should rank with the schools of Technology, the Normal and Indus trial, and all other public institutions of learning. The state should take this view of the case and use every means to pro mote the higher educational ideas in regard to the management of this school. Properly treated there are on y rare instances where the pupils, though bereft of their faculties may not be trained in ways of usefulness and self-supporting industry rather than a burden upon the public. The state should foster and encourage the teachers on this line. BICYCLE VERSUS BEER- Miss Frances Willard was presented with a bicycle by Lady Somerset i and she has been learning ,to ride it. I She has published a book giving her ( experience <nd detailing her trials and tribulations in mastering the steel steed. The perversity of the wheel, its evidences of total depravi- - ty, its proneness to go wrong, has led , Miss Willard to draw a parallel be-1 tween it and human nature. We are all prone to go astray unless guided by a strong will. Miss Willard should have extended her thoughts and shown how the bicycle is becoming an i instrumentality in the cause of tern- j perance, which lies so close to her j heart. That bicycle is a temperance j agent goes without saying. It requires alevel head to guide the wheel through i the dangers of the streets. A drunk en man on a bicycle would not pro ceed very far. On the other hand, a man can ride a horse better when drunk than when sober. His relax ed muscles and limber body sway with every motion of the horse, and when he goes half seas over, he can right himself like a ship well ballast ed. Even if he does fall, the fall does not hurt him, for his body strikes the ground like a wet rag. The substitution of the bicycle for the horse means less drunkenness. If Miss Willard and Lady Somerset real ly desire to advance the cause they should issue bicycles instead of tracts to the poor.—Age Herald. There is much truth in that state ment. The riding of a bicycle is equal ly as graceful and productive of more healthful mental and physical exercise than the straddling of a hobby horse. We don’t wonder that Mi si Willard should have grown facetious ox’er the bicycle, and if she succeeds in turn ing a Somerset against the breeze of popular favor, it will not be a thing to wonder at. The bike is a great in stitution, especially when it can draw a little gaiety from the determined visage of the great apostle of moral rectitude. The Cherokee Artillery will hold its annual reunion at the home of Capt. Felix Corput, at Cave Spring, July 31. There are not many left of that supurb band of veterans, and their reunions grow pleasanter every year. The Savannah Press posseses an edi" t orial page that is a delight to the soul of all believers. The Weekly Press gang will visit Cumberland this week. Our sympa pathies are alt withold coon in their attempts to cleanse their consciences. - w THE ROME TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 21. 1895, MOUNTAIN RAMBLES. Cave Spring Valley. Like besoms of hope From each shining slope, And hoary homesteads old and gray The smoke wrea-b uplift! And diletant drifts Floating over the hills and far away. Tho wind and the beam On the silvery stream, Run riot thiough meadow land all the day While summer winds sweep Down each laurel crowned steep Bearing deep meaning messages far away. The dews of the morn On the tremulant corn, The sheen of the harvest Helds blithe and gay With shadows that sleep And waters that leap Flashing d iwn through the valleys and far away. Oh, the revel and rhyme Or the tweet summer time, 1 What visions of beauty the soul doth sway, With the lessons of love From the heavens above, Flooding wood. Held and river, far, far away. —Montgomery M. Folsom. Sunrise at Cave Spring. I rose early, and pushing open the blinds, feasted my eyes on the tranquil beauties of the scene. Hastily dressing I started for a tramp down the valley. The first bright lances of the sunshine were routing the mists that trailed their ragged skirts along the course of the shining stream, and like a tioop of vag abonds they disappeared leaving the val ley all flecked with mosaics of sun and shadow. Prof. Connor has utilized the rare beauty of that naturally attractive spot, and the broad, green, tree bestudded lawn is cool and refreshing, with the crystal fountain at play and here and there a bright hued blossom peeping forth. Prof. Connor, however, is a ge fiius. Naturally gifted with rare taste, skill, judgment and an abundance of inventive talent, he has so trained his flexible intellect tilt he is, without doubt, one of the “most many sided men I ever knew. Sometimes, when I get to, discussing politics with him, I think he is ortho dox, then when I hit him on politics he is heterodox and again when we get to talking about geology, mineralogy, Me teroloey, ornithology, and so on, he be came completely paradox. But he has done a work there at Cave Spring that is wonderful to contemplate. Just to think that he was there actively at work before the war broke out and here he is, youthful as Felix Corput, still vigorous ly attending todiis duties. He has done more order out of chaos, and to make every dollar tell and to run the vast machinery of the institution than any mad 1 know of, connected with a public institution. That entertainment that the children “got up, exhibited in a striking manner the value of sys tematic work. Nobody would have supposed it anjj eleemosynary institu tion to have waudered into the hall and watched their performances that night. But FanUgetting away from my sub ject. I set out for a tramp up the steep hill-side past the colored department, then down into the valley where a mock ingbird was trilling away among the scarlet trumpet' blossoms as if it were still May time. I watched the great water wheel turning lazily round and round while the rythmic pulsations of the pumping machinery sent the crys tal waters to the tall reservoir on the hill to be distributed through the build ings. I forget how many thousand gal lons of water Prof. Connor says it sends rushing through the net work of pipes every day, but,there is an am ple sufficiency for all the domestic usa ges of the institution and it comes fresh from the cool, refreshing spring of pure and unefiled mountain water. An ad ditional connection has been made with the creek to increase the supply of water when needful. In case of fire there is ample pressure to utilize the hose in controlling it, and when necessary the great lawn can be sprinkled. The fountain is always playing and that big water wheel, that looks so quaint and picturesque by the graj- stone dam there among the trailing willows does its full duty. I never saw any'public institution so happily situa ted in regard to wood, wind and water. And that crook is a real gem of the mountains. Rippling over the shining pebbles or gliding with placid grace >along the quiet reaches; now eddying among the water cresses, now tumbling in a crystalline cascade, it is a theme to inspire a poet or painter. Though har nessed to toil at every bend or turning, it flashes playfully along through pools and shallows, a dream of beauty and a joy forever- Along its banks I wandered luxurious ly and caught glimpses of the blue smoke curling upward from many a cottage home, bands of gold wnere the song of the harvesters rose blithely on the wings of the morning, green fields flushed withthe promise of a bundanoe, swelling hills clad in robes of summer loveliness, and far up the valley the triple peaks of Signal mountain, waking from their morning nap, gladdened and glorified by the rising sun.
