can conjure up, that can compare with that of Eve making Adam’s split-back shirts on a Wheeler & Wilson, running the treadle with one foot, swinging little Abel and Cain in Thompson’s Oscillating Cradle with the other, and looking through Bogg’s diamond eyeglasses at Adam, who sits in a corner reading an account of a cyclone that swept through Harris county just forty thousand miles away ! But they would have scouted the idea of a railroad winding around Mount Sinai, or a ferry boat crossing the Red Sea ! And yet we of this age think nothing of traveling the Kennesaw Route—eating breakfast in Geor gia. dinner in Tennessee, supper in Virginia, going to bed in Pennsylvania, and waking up gracious knows where! And just as long as we live these inventions will go on. The Keeley Motor is one of these inventions that is going on. Just think of it ! Eighteen thousand and a half years ago there was no such thing as a ten-pin alley, or a female regulator, or a bed-bug exterminator, or a chewing gum. Since that time we have had patent Asiatic cholera (genuine), small pox and jim-jams. People in those days never heard of such things. We think nothing of taking the measles, or the bankrupt act, or the mully grubs; and those benighted people were not progressive enough to see through a pane of glass or a little game. They never saw a locomotive. They never saw anything run but water, and the water wasn’t fast water either. The Keeley Motor can run anything from a saw mill down to running its stock holders into debt. And speaking of run ning, reminds me that my wife’s tongue is a little better this morning, but the eye is gone. In the future she will only go one eye on me. Unless those fingers improve right smartly she will only be able to go one hand on me (thank gracious)for some time to come. In my opinion the Keeley Motor is by far —my wife is calling me to nib more salve on her face. Poor thing! Her face looks worse than if lightning had struck it now. It looks more like her nose had turned vol cano, and erupted without giving due notice to the surrounding country. But lam giv ing her all attention. The doctor’s bill is going to be heavy, but then I don’t think she will live long, poor thing. I’ll have to let Keeley go on with his Motor. B. Ridges. A Lying Match. —The spelling “bees” in this country have about played out. and have been succeeded by other “matches” of various kinds, not excepting base ball, rifle shooting, &c. The latest thing out in this line is a “ lying match,” started here on Saturday last, open to all comers from this State. ~ The purse offered is large (we say nothing of its contents), and several entries have already been made, but all from this city. The contest will come off on the 15th of Sept., and Richmond. Petersburg, Lynchburg, Gordonsville and Farmville can come in if desired. We say nothing of those staid old towns, Fredericksburg and Alex andria, knowing full well that they do not tolerate such characters. The contest was confined to the State for the reason that, if extended, Washington, closely adjoining, would carry off all the honors and prizes.— Norfolk Virginian. Your statement about Fredericksburg and Alexandria proves you possess the qualities that will make you a dangerous adversary in that match, Mr. Virginian. Let us in, and if Merchant or our own selves don’t take the prize, our faith in human nature is gone.— Alexandria Sentinel. We would have bet on Ball if he had’nt betrayed himself into writing the truth on the very first effort. Such slips of the pen are unpardonable in a man of his reputation. —Star. Well, gentlemen, name your day, and ad mit Atlanta, and we will try to send you a passenger agent or two, and feel satisfied of one of them being the “ last man in the procession. ’ ’ ___________ The Rossmore Hotel, Broadway and 42d Street, has been leased by S. E. Crit tenden, formerly of the Gregory House, Lake Mahopac. This new hotel has been built with great care, with the idea of mak ing it second to none in New York. It has all the modern improvements, and will sup ply a want long felt in that section of the city by people who make a hotel their home. The building extends through to 7th avenue, and is perfect in the matters of light and ventilation. The Rossmore will be elegant ly furnished, and opened to the public about the first of September. Mr. Critten den is a hotel man wide and favorably known all through the country. Genial as a landlord, he also has a knowledge of what genteel and refined people require in a hotel. — New York Express. Mr. Crittenden’s many friends will be glad to know that he has leased the “ Ross more.” Mr. Crittenden opened the 11. I. Kimball house in Atlanta, October 17, 1870, and after keeping it over two years went to New York. We wish him every success. THE KENNESAW ROUTE GAZETTE. NEIGHBORLY— COURTESIES. Jaky Watts and Benny Richards, two Washington boys, were sitting in the dark in Watts’ kitchen the other night cracking hickory nuts, and telling one another how good their respective fathers were. Jaky heard his father’s step up stairs and suddenly became silent. Mr. Watts had thrown out a hint at the dinner-table that he would tend to Jaky when he came home for tying his little sister up in a bag. When Jaky heard the old man’s step approaching the kitchen stairs, he said : “Benny, something makes me feel as if I had forgotten to shut the back gate. I’ll be back in a minute,” and hurried out of the door. Mr. Watts came down into the kitchen, shaking with suppressed rage, and seeing a lone figure sitting in the dim light of the fire, he grabbed it by the ear and raised it olf the chair. Benny set up a terrible howl ing. Mr. Watts waltzed him around the room, jerking out such remarks as : “ I’ll teach you to perpetrate such things in my house ; you thought you’d maltreat your little sister, did you ? 1 suppose you’ll want to put me in a bag next ? ” The Richards boy set up a prolonged howl, interrupted occasionally by a quick “Ouch!” and a vigorous effort to cover some tender spot with his hands. Mr. Watts gave him a final wrench and slung him against the table, with the obser vation that he guessed he wouldn’t forget this right away. Benny rushed out of the house snuffing and uttering all sorts of threats against Watts. Jaky stopped him in the yard, and, with an expression of open-mouthed wonder, exclaimed : “ Why, Benny, what in the world is the matter ? Do you feel sick ? ” Benny didn’t stop to explain, but sneaked over the fence and home, dropping a bad word or a sob at every step. Jaky looked very meek as he came into the house, rubbing his legs and showing a disposition to run at every motion his father made, and looked exactly as if he had been whipped. Mrs. Richards called the next day in a high state of indignation. She took up her quarters in the basement-hall, with her Benny under her arm, and told the Watts folks just what she thought of them. She became highly inflamed and choked with passion, and reminded them that they could’nt ride over her, if Mr. Watts did hold a government office, not if she knew herself. She like to see herself associating with peo ple as would set upon and maliciously mal treat a tender infant. Then she danced away with the assurance that they hadn’t heard the last of it. Mr. Watts investigated the matter a little, and he and Jaky held a business meeting in the woodshed, much to Jaky’s disgust. The matter was thoroughly explained, and Mrs. Watts sent a bowl of currant-jelly around to Mrs. Richards. Mrs. Richards says she never really knew what a dear good lady Mrs. Watts was be fore ; but Benny says that all the currant jelly in the district cannot efface the me mory of one night, and he longs to be a man, so that he can revenge himself upon Mr. W atts. A wit once asked a peasant what part he performed in the great drama of life. “I mind my own business,” was the reply. “Travelers between the North and the South should see that their tickets read — by the Kennesaw Route.

The person who sent an effusion, entitled, “ Nothing but Flowers,” to a paper for pub lication, is on the ragged edge of mortifica tion. The poem appeared as “ Nothing but Fleas.” When the compositor was reasoned with, he said he thought there ought to be something lively about the poem. A gentleman, speaking to a friend who was prostrated by illness, remarked that “ he can hardly recover, since his constitution is all gone.” “If his constitution is all gone,” said a bystander, “ I do not see how he lives at all.” “Oh,” responded the wag, “he lives on the by-laws.” E3F" Through Pullman cars leave Balti more daily for Atlanta, Montgomery, Mo bile and New Orleans, and intermediate cities, Withotjt Change, by the Kennesaw route —1,254 miles.
