Mobile Plant and New York Counts. rtJoag the coast the oyster beds sre kept In good outer and are highly prized. If a salt river containing oyster beds runs between two pieces of land the owners of the land are considered own ers of the beds, and often severe feuds exist about the ownership. Robber ester boats often run In and steal oysters. These are often shot at or chased away and many of the owners of beds watch all night to guard agallnst the -marauders. When a bed seems likely to be ex hausted all oyster fishing Is stopped and young oysters are transplanted to aid It. The owners of the beds either work them or sell the right to companies or private individuals. This trade Is either made by the bushel or by the length of time, the quantity being In favor. Many interesting hours can he spent around Rbed watching th ework or having the points explained. Two banks of Burlington. Wis., are managed by women.

The govarnor received from the war department a telegram saying that It might be advisable to muster out the First regiment at one place, and asking whal he thought of it. The governor communicated with the First regiment to ascertain Its vvlsheo and wired the war department arqnlbselng In the sug gestion and designating Macon as the place for mustering out. The'reglment cornea principally from south Georgia, and for this reason Ma con was selected.

Ten days are allowed usually for turning over government property and break ing tip camp. REV. DR. MONK. News About a Minister Well Known In Augusta.

He has been there for something over a year, and during that time has had a power ful effect upon the church work in that town. While in Macon Dr. Monk undertook a crusade against the evils of that city.

P. D. TOOK PICTURES Of Her Roval Sister When Her Only Raiment Wa# Mud (letter In 8L I pouts Globe- Democrat > ! There ha* been a most sensational . and serio-comic quarrel between the : Crown Princess of Roiimanla and her sister, the Grand Duchess of Hesse, j which Is causing a ripple of laughter frem one end of Europe to the other. ; The Grand Ditches* of Hesse has been j Haying at Schwa I bach for the sake of j the famous mud baths of the place. On one reraslon her stater, the Crown Princess of Roumani*. accompanied her. sat In the room with her while she was In the bath, and then, a* the Grand Duchess emerged, therefrom, covered from her neck to her feet with a thick ttotting of mod, took a snap shot of her with s kctlak. which she Invariably carries about with her. She seem* to have done this without •he knowledge of the Grand Duchess, and ’he first thing that the latter knew about it was when she was presented with a picture representing her as j species of somber, or. rather, piebald Venus, emerging not from the blue a a, but front thi' repulsive Swalbach mud. There is nothing absolutely Improp er about the portrait, since the mud may I e srld to have formed a species of close fitting garment. Still, at ihe tame time, it is not a very pleasant thing for an attractive woman, such as the Grand Duohoes may claim to be, io be 'htis portrayed. To make matters worse, the Crown Princess was so inordinately amused with the success of the picture that be fore her sister knew anything about it she struck off a number of proofs and distributed them broadcast among the numerous friends and relatives of the two sisters. It is scarcely necessary to add that they are no longer on speak ing terms, the Grand Duchess being the last person in the world to understand end appreciate a_ joke of this kind. In fact, the origin of all her troubles with j her husband has Wen due to the lat ter's persistence In* making her the butt of those practical Jtikes to which he is addicted. Many of these jokes have troen/tn thenatureqf coarse horse play, to which any woman pos serseti of any dignity would object, and sympathy has been, universally on the side of the Grand'Duchess in her mat rimonial differences with her heart. |HE ROLLS TMK DICE.

The ponderous "Be It or dained by the city council of Augusta. . u<t 1' I* hereby ordained hy th* au i ihority of the *ami.** repeated over and over again. I# wle'd out. The new form i»: "The city o.«Wi"H of Augusta hereby ordains, B*c. 1. That, Ktc„ iit. Sec. !. That. Etc.. Etc.." and that'* the end of It. Seven word# do the work of thirty-one. with much saving of time and Ink. DUTIES OF COUNCIL. The old eo<4e, wonderful to relate, had no chanter and not even a sect ten specially devoted to council. You had lo search through the whole «92 pag»« to get an Idea aa to the qualification*, eligibility, right*, power*, duties and function* of council and ccuncllmcn. The new code assemble* everything upon the subject lo one place in sym metrical order, and «o with the mayor, city officer*, ete„ etc. Th" lawa aa to indigent sick aod In jured have been amended. City phy sicians nr* to malt* weekly reports to the board of health: and the list cf offi cials authorltcd to admit the unfor tunate# to the hoapkals has been en larged, so that thto victim need net suffer while a proper permit is being sought. In addition to the mayor and chairman of the hospital cnmnlllt, as heretofore, any member of the fac ulty of the Medical college, or any city physician, or la an emergency any po lice officer can give the requisltepermit. so that relief cap be afTcrded Insianter. The humane will be glad to learn that the brute creation also is to be better protected. Abuse of a haok or dray horse forfeits the driver's license, and any cruelty not punishable directly in the state courts can be punished by the recorder. But, said Mr. Duteher, this will doubtless suffice as to the changes tn the ordinances, though there are several others worthy of note, such as the prohibition of indecent shows.and tne posting of filthy show bills in the streets. THE STATE LAWS. “How about the changes In the state laws.” queried the reporter. You will notice, said Mr. Duteher, that the city attorney Is now publishing the required notices for quite a number of local acts relative to Augusta, which are intended to clear up dcubts and clear up omissions in legislation.

FILLING THE GAPS. Tb* city sttocncy is filling up vat of tb* gap* now and doing all lhat It ts posstbl* for any man to do with tb* legislature just about to rpta, Th* changes being mostly of a technical legal nature I need not enlarge upon th m, r mt tbe only on* which has •yoked discussion, ucd will probably encounler opposition. b*ing the propo sition lo empower council to sm*m a water tax on unimproved lota aa «r*lt aa those that are Improved. On this general subject I may say tbe mayor rnd several members of council who have had tbelr attev.Hcn Informally i„ilcd to iv bjr tbe commiaaioner of public works, are consldert.ig tbe feas ibility of council running pipes from the mains to the sidewalk 're of charge to the lot owner, so as to make It easier and cheaper for the ettizn to avail himself of onr water supply. It Is an excellent Idea, and one likely to benefit the citizen by removing a bur den and at the same time ado revenue to the city by stimulating s water de mand. The commissioner is a very efficient man, and fruitful In sugges tions for the public good. I may her* add that the new cod" puts our beauti ful shade trees under his protection, and prevents their hacking and felling. Augusta's trceaare’a benefit and adorn ment. Every visiter notices them, and the commissioner ts formulating plans for their preservation and exten sion. ♦ WANTED ‘ThORITY. Sought Written Court Permission to do Some Fighting. Charley Cummlng'ls a good old negro. He Is honest, if he Is simple In hia ways: and he Is brave, for he went to the war with his master, and carried for him. He Is a good old colored man. Charley was doing some scouring foe a colored patron the other day. Acci dentally he broke a gas shade. The pa tron k?pt 50 cent from him for the cost of the shade. Charley showed up at the court house yesterday morning. “I am looking for a magistrate to make that man pay me. I would Just as soon see the court house judge. I don't Imow anything about courts, because I have never been in them. I «m a peaceful negro, but r.a one shall do me Injustice. I want a written order from the court, giving me permission to thrash that man. I don't want to cut or shoot. I want to take one of those walking sticks I have at home and thrash him good. I can do It easily enough, but I don’t want to get into court trouble. That is the iea sen 1 want the order from the court giving ine the right to whip him. He didn’t use these exact words, but that is what he said. He was hot in anger as he walked off to find Judge Eve to secure the necessary permission to thrash-the man-who he thought had not done him right. 4
