That Would not Remove the
Difficulty.
Our respected comtemporary, tlie Col
umbus Enquirer, desirous of having the
Capital question settled, so that the peo
- pie can have a Convention to form a Con
stitution to suit themselves, proposes
that the Legislature permit tlie people to
vote on the removal question separately.
But tlie Atlanta Ring won’t permit the
Legislature to submit this question to the
people, and if it was submitted and Mil
ledgeville had fifty thousand majority,
still that would not take the Capitol to
Milledgeville until the Constitution is al
tered, and the Atlanta i ing will not per
mit the Legislature to make that altera
tion. The Atlanta ring arc sure tlie peo
ple would vote for Milledgeville, rand
hence their strong opposition to a Con
vention. A few years before the war the
question of locating the Capital was sub
mitted to the people and Milledgeville
jiad a majority of more than twenty eight
thousand over all the other competitors
combined.
Base Ingratitude.
It is well known to all of the Georgia
world and to many of the rest of mankind
that Atlanta is mainly indebted to Bul
lock, Blodgett and Kimball for most of
her present prosperity, for many of her
best buildings and especially for being
made the Capital of the State. These
three men stole, as is believed, hundreds
of thousands of dollars from the State
and the State Road, and lavished it all on
Atlanta, and now when one of these men
returns from a long exile and the work
ingmen attempt to do him honor, some
of the representatives of this place which
he had built up and given it all of the
importance it has, these mushroom poli
ticians, these fungi on his bounty, order
every citizen of Atlanta to leave the
the house which Kimball built, lest they
be contaminated. The citizens of Atlanta
owe Bullock, Blodgett and Kimball a pen
sion for life, for all that they stole from
the State they lavished on Atlanta. But
we learn from Atlanta that this repug
nance to Kimball was all put on for effect
and that some who spumed him by day
visited him by night to explain and make
their peace with him.
She Woman Crusade against Whis
key.
Western newspapers are tilled with
startling accounts of the war of the wo
men against drinking saloons. Drunk
enness is no doubt a very great evil.
But when we hear of large armies of wo
men, married and single, leaving their
families and domestic affairs and encamp
ing whole days and weeks around grog
shops and hotels,"to keep men from drink
ing. we think the remedy is worse than
the disease. If chinking is injurious to
men, the means which these women have
adopted to prevent it, will be ruinous to
themselves. To think of married women
leaving their husbands and children and
spending days and weeks on their knees
praying and singing to a dram seller to
drive him from his business! 11 e think
this is worse than tln’owing pearls before
swine; and the idea cf young girls engag
ing in such business, must be still more
revolting. AYe fear that much of their zeal
in this crusade against liquor dealers
arises from a desire of notoriety and from
a propensity to intermeddle with the sins
of others, to the neglect of their own.
This same disposition a few years back
made these women at the North violent
abolitionists. Then they were willing to
give money to buy Sharp s lilies, with
which to shoot Southern slave owners.
Now when they can no longer get up an
excitement in favor of the negro, they are
compelled to ventilate their philanthropy
and zeal in some other direction. A1 hen
their fingers are tired of making flannel
sliirts for young Hottentots, they turned
them to pulling the hail* and scratching
the faces of the liquor dealers. But it
seems they liave changed their weapons
as well as the objects of their warfare.
Instead of Southern planters, they now
make war upon the red nosed Yankee
dealers in N. E. Rum, the bloated vendor
of corn whiskey and the rotund dealer in
lager beer, and instead of Sharp’s rifles,
they now employ their songs and pray
ers, and as it is strictly forbidden in tlie
New Testament to pray standing at the
corners of the streets, these women kneel
down on the cold ground or flag stones
and pray against tlie vendors of whiskey
and lager beer. Wc should think this
was a very unequal warfare. It would
Seem at first thought that a fat Dutch
man in his comfortable saloon could
stand a seige of women praying on the
cold ground out side as long the women
could stand the cold. But it! seems all
the calculations of men are at fault, where
women are concerned; when they deter
mine to do a thing, they do* it; and the
fat Dutchmen, the bloated Hoosicr and
the red nosed Y’ankee have all had to
succumb to woman’s songs .and prayers.
English infidel philosophers can no long
er say there is no power, or availability
in 'prayer.

Gold Premiums.—With the view to
securing for The Christian Index and Bap
tist the widest possible circulation, that
through this medium, good may result
to the largest number of our people, the
worthly proprietors have added a magnifi
cent gold premium offer to the already
splendid premium lists of the paper.
Thf. Index is one of the old established
and able papers of the denomination. In
point of Bize, convenient form, and beauty
of mechanical execution, it is without an
e^jUal in the South, and is not surpassed
bjT similar publication anywhere. As the
organ of the Baptist denomination, it
should be the pride of Baptists every
where to give it united, active support
And we will be par doned for saying that
it is their duty to extend the fullest encour
agement to their religious paper. Let

cure a splendid gold premium,. enter the

It is pleasing to know that a tine pas
toral poem has been produced by an
American, and that Americans buy it, read
it and appreciate it. Its scene is in both
Hemispheres—in Norway and in Penn
sylvania ; its most strikingly dramatic
parts being located among the ragged and
snow-tipped peaks of the Norwegian
Mountains so little known to Americans
in general, ahd yet so well known to the
author of the poem. That author is no
less a person that Bayard Taylor the great
traveler and author of books of travel,
who now uses his vivid impressions of the
scenery and the life of the old rugged
Norse-Land by crystalizing them in the
form of the poem we are considering.
The scene of the American portion of
tlie poem is laid near AVilmington, Dela
ware—not very far distant from the Wyo-
ming immortalized in song by the genius
of Thomas Campbell. The portraits of
objects in Lars are more truthful and not
less poetical than in the English poem:
yet they are wholly dissimilar. The rural
scenery in the Valley of tlie Delaware, in
Zf Satan Oast ant Satan Bow can

If Atlanta cast out Kimball, how can
Atlanta stand? It is well known all over
Georgia that Bullock, Blodgett & Kimbalj
built up Atlanta. They made her the
Capital. They built or rather finished the
Opera House with money taken from the
treasury, and they then induced the Leg
islature to purchase this building, which
cost them thirty two thousand, for three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The
people of Atlanta give Bullock and Kim
ball aid and comfort in all of these nefari
ous transactions. They pretended to pay
Kimball one hundred and thirty thousand
dollars, but did not pay anything. They
knew of a mortgage on the property, but
said nothing about it. Every man in
Georgia should remember how the people
of Atlanta combibed with* Kimball
and Bullock to swindle the State. But
Kimball built the Kimball House and
where did he get the money to build it ?
AATiy Bullock made Blodget superintend
ent of the State Road, and Blodgett and
Kimball built the Kimball House, but the

Mexican War Veterans.
Our readers will remember that a Na
tional Convention of the Veterans of the
Mexican AVar was recently held in AA’ash-
ington City. The Georgia Association of
Veterans was represented therein by its
President, Col. David S. Johnston of
Madison, Gen. Thomas of Covington, and
others.
Among the many interesting proceed
ings of this National Convention of the
A T eterans, we perceive that of memorializ
ing Congress to bestow on the survivors
of the soldiers who fought the Mexican
war a suitable Pension as a testimonial for
their services. Tliis (it is argued) is emi
nently just, 1st, because of the immense
and valuable acquisitions of territory
achieved by their brave and heroic deeds,
to-wit: California, Utah, New Mexico, Ac.;
2d, on account of the peculiar severity of
malarial poisons on our soldiers in that
tropical region—very few of tlie survivors
having escaped life-long ailments there
from. The committee selected to present
this memorial is AYilliam Lynn Tidball of
New York, P. O. Herbert of Louisiana,
David S. Johnston of Georgia, M. D.
Manson of Louisiana, and E. 1>. Bates of
Pennsylvania. When we consider that
the Mexican AA’ar was mainly fought by
the gallant Volunteers from the Southern
States, and the deep grab Northern Radi
cals are now plying the National Treasu
ry with, we can but hope Southerners may
have a chance to get their dues.
Plain Truth.
Seldom have we seen as much plain
and wholesome truth compressed in one
article as appears in the '“leader” of the
first number of the “International Re
view,-” entitled “ The Panic.” This mas
terly article searches for the causes of our
disordered finances, disordered morals,
disordered manners, disordered govern
ments, and various other disordered cir
cumstances of American life, with free
stroke and masterly skill, reminding us of
the trenchant ease with which the trained
anatomical dissector lays open with his
gleaming scalpel and dissecting knife the
fated organs whose decay led to the death-
It declares, “Corruptions make cowards,
and cowards make panics. * * * The
bane of American life is dishonesty.—
This produces the lack of confidence,
which is the root of panics. Men who
are upright in their neighborhood and
admirable in their homes, will habitually,
knowingly and systematically, do wrong
in their business.”
This admirable article advises a return
to plain living, and common honesty in
all things, in our business and in our
homes, as the remedy for these evils. Is
it good advice ? AA’ho shall say nay ?
This first number of the International
Review comes to ns with plain honest
features, replete with solid articles such
as “Fires in American Cities,’ “Interna
tional Arbitration,” “Universal Eduea
tion,” Ac., Ac. Among its American con
tributors we perceive names of Hon. A.
H. Stephens and Rev. A. A. Lipscomb of
Georgia. It has no flashy engravings to
atone for want of solid merit. Published

NEAV BOOKS.
Among the many recent publications of
Claxton, Remsen A Hafflefinger, Phila
delphia, are the Out law’s Daughter, by
Emerson Bennett, and] Rouge et Noir,
from the French of Edmund Abbout.
Mr. Bennett is a very prolific author of
fiction, and writes with a free and sweep
ing pen. The volume before us teems
with thrilling incidents of bold adventure
among the Texas Regulators.
Some of the scenes depicted savor of
the deeds performed by Robin Hood and
his merry men in Sherwood Forest. The
tone of the work is pure, and to the lov
ers of striking incident it could not fail
to be of absorbing interest.
Rouge et Noir is quite Frenchy. Al
though a love story in one sense, it has
nothing of the maudlin modem sentimen
tality which has already titillated the fic
tion-palale to satiety. The lovers reach
tlie holy bonds of matrimony by a spark
ling coup d’etat, essentially French, after
suffering all sorts of trials, from a crusty
father, who lives only to guard and se
clude a beautiful daughter fr om the peril
ous shafts of the boy-god. Capt. Bitter-
lin, the father of Emma, and the real hero
is led against his honest principles, into
winning an immense sum by playing
rouge et noir, and through this act be
comes a party to his daughter’s marriage
to her favored suitor. The Captain is a
crusty old soldier of the Hundred and
Fourth on the retired list His very ex
istence depends for sustenance on contra
diction and opposition. AVhen he discov
ers that he has been the victim of a ruse de
guerre in the combat against love he falls
into an apoplexy from sheer mortification
and quickly retires into a better world,
leaving the field to the happy lovers.

The Capital Question,
Editors Union A Recorder:
I see from the Legislative proceedings
that Mr. Brown of Cherokee has intio-
duced a bill in4he Senate for the build
ing of a new Capitol. What can be the
matter ? AYe have been told that the
Opera House was the very thing for a
Capitol—that it was far superior to the
old Capitol in Milledgeville; bnt among
the numerous whereases of Mr. Brown, I
see that the Opera House will not do for
a Capitol, and that the great State of
Georgia must have one suitable to her
wealth and character. What stuff! Here
we are deep in debt, our people heavily
taxed and the foolish and ridiculous idea
of building a new Capitol talked about
Atlanta promised that if she avas made
tlie Capital of the State that she would
furnish a Capitol building and all other
necessary buildings; but what are the
facts ? Georgia lias paid out about $500.-
000 already for the Opera House, Execu
tive Mansion, etc., when, in fact, not one
dollar ought to have been spent.
Again, Air. Brown in one of his where
ases’, says that the Capitol building at
Alilledgeville is in a dilapidated condition.
There is not a word of truth in it, if I am
correctly informed. It was put in thor
ough repair when Gov. Jenkins was in
office, and to day it is worth, as a Capitol
building, two such houses as the Opera
House in Atlanta. Every Legislature
that has assembled in Atlanta has had a
committee to examine the Opera House to
see if it was safe. Nothing of the kind
was ever done in Alilledgeville.
I see, however, that the Senate has re
fused to vote for removal back to Alilledge
ville. Not much sm-prised when I think
of the influences brought to bear. AA’hen
the Senate took supper with Pease, I
thought tlie citizens of Atlanta knew
“ that the way to win a man’s love and
get his vote, the surest way was dow n his
throat,” and they would try tlie virtue of
feeding the Legislature.
As a Georgian not interested in Mil
ledgeville, for I live near two hundred
miles from it, I am for Alilledgeville. I
want the issue made at the next election.
Let it be made by the press of the State.
Agitate, Messrs. Editors, the question at
all times. Bartow.
Letter from Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 14, 1874.
Ain. Editor—Having been a sojourner
at this place during the session, and hav
ing watched the course of events with
considerable interest, perhaps my obser
vations may be of sonic interest to some
of your readers. I believe a large portion
of the present Legislature, when they
were elected, were honest and intended to
do their duty,- but many of them have
changed very much since they w ere elect
ed. After staying here for two sessions,
many of them become very careful of say
ing or doing anything to offend the peo
ple of Atlanta. Alen who like to attend
parties are very careful what they say, for
fear they will not be invited and admitted
into society. This has been noticed by
spectators in every debate in which At
lanta was interested. Nearly every speak
er would commence his speech by making
an apology to Atlanta. No such apology w as
made to any other city in the State. This eve-
of fourteen years and named Samuel, who r J speaker thought w r as necessary to save
resides in the State of Michigan. and to ■ themselves from ostracism, and I observed
whom the compound word “liy-jioison” is ! there was much more of this during this
exceedingly unpleasant. Tliis Samuel session than the last. For this and many
being some time ago called upon bv his other reasons if the Capital remains in
judicious mother to help with the ehur- Atlanta I shall hereafter be in favor of
ning, felt that that exercise could not animal elections: and I would advise those
compete with the charms of fishing, and I w ho live at a distance, and have any busi-
believed that Atlanta got all of this mon
ey and all of the earnings of the State
Road during Blodgett’s administration
through the management of Hi Kimball. •
Mr. Kimball also prepared the Fair
Grounds and the Race Course for Atlan
ta, and we are told he also manufactured
all the Alineral Springs in and around
Atlanta. In short Kimball with Bullock
and Blodgett to help him, made Atlanta,
and shall the thing formed, say to him
who made it, Why has t thou made me
thus, or why do’estthou so ? Take Kim
ball and all of his works from Atlanta,
and there would be nothing left. And if
Atlanta cast out Bullock, Blodgett and
Kimball, Atlanta could not stand. But
Atlanta does not intend to cast him out.
She dare not do it and Kimball knows it.
It did not show any great degree of mor -
al courage for Kimball to come to Atlan
ta. He knew that he would be there in
the midst of his former ‘friends and ad
mirers, his partners and accomplices.
He knew that they dare not molest him,
he knew too many of their secrets.
Already we are told the leaders of the
Atlanta Ring are making court to him.
Some openly, others like Nicodemas, se
cretly and by night. But the people of
Atlanta want Air. Kimball’s services, and
we predict they will again take him into
favor, and he will soon become tlie patron
Saint of Atlanta. Mercury among the
ancient Greeks, was the patron and pro
tector of thieves and rogues. Hi? was
represented to he a very cunning and
skillful being and was worshiped by
many of his admirers. We know of no
man better qualified to be the Mercury of
Atlanta than Kimball, and if lie can learn
them to steal successfully, and protect
them in their theft, some of them will
be willing to worship him. The Kimball
House is Iris temple and to that place
will his votaries bring their offerings,
and there perform their orgies. One of
the offices of Mercury was to conduct his
votaries to the Infernal Regions: and
probably Kimball could do that as well
as any one.
There is a young gentleman of the age
ness with any future Legislature to press
• it at the commencement of the session—
before Atlanta gets control of the Legis
latnre. Your joke about the Atlanta ring
giving dinners and parties to the mem
bers whenever they have an axe to grind
had been noticed before; and both the
Atlanta ring and some of the members
feel very sore on that subject, and I can
that, in short, he’d rather not. He an
nounced this candid decision, which, so
far from being appreciated by Iris mother,
was received with an affectionate but re
formatory slipper—which is a patent argu
ment almost without a rival. The chum
accordingly claimed him for its own, un
til during a brief absence of the good
woman he happened to perceive a casual
plate of fly poison and an idea. As she ! assure you and others, little as you may

At tbe Agricultural Convention in
Columbus on Wednesday, Col. Tom
Hardeman delivered an able and inter*
erting statistical address on the resour
ces oi Georgia. The address will be
printed.
think of it, these things have had a very
bad effect on the Legislation of the State,
and there is nothing that stirs up the
black bile of the ring, and of a few of the
present members, so much as to mention
this very thing, because they know that it
is true.
The Legislature has been very liberal in
giving large amounts of the property of
the State to several railroads. These rich
incorporations, many of the stockholders of
which reside at the North, are very popu
lar with the Legislature, whilst a citizen
of Georgia, who has an honest and just
claim agaiust the State for faithful servi
ces performed, stands no chance of getting
his pay. I will give you a case in point.—
Ex-Comptroller General Thwcatt, who
was one of the most faithful and honest
public servants that Georgia ever had.
presented a just and legal claim against
the State for past sendees, but this Leg
islature turned their backs on him. They
>iid not see what benefit it would be to
them to pay him. But the people of
Georgia have not forgotten Col Tliweatt,
and I believe they will take his case into
then* own hands at the next election. I
read your claim, and it seemed to me so
plain and just that I believe that any jury
of honest men in Georgia would not hesitate
ten minutes in giving a verdict in your
favor; and yet, although the Judiciary
Committee reported in favor of paying
you, as the members could see no benefit
to themselves in paying you they refused.
Y’our claim all admit to be just, but you
live in the wrong part of the State to get
justice. If you lived in Atlanta you would
have been paid long ago. I hope at tlie
next election men will be elected who are
not afraid to do right, although it may
offend the people of Atlanta. Either the
place of legislation or the legislators must
be changed, or Atlanta will make laws for
the State. Wire Grass.

Congress is disputing over the finances
of the country, and to settle the difficulty
they will probably divide among them
selves what money there is in the treasu

Louisiana difficulty, which has got so
bad that Congress don't know what to do
with it, and will probably let it alone. If
they had done that at first all would have
been well, but they have stirred up a muss

Atlanta, Ga., February 12, 1874.
To-day was a lively one in the Senate.
The gallery was crowded with ladies
anil many other spectators.
The special order of the day, being a
bill to amend the Constitution by striking
out the word “Atlanta" and inserting
“Alilledgeville,” was taken up, and before
any interest was manifested, the report
of the committee—which was favorable,
was agreed to and a “division” was
called for before any notice was ta-’
ken. Whereupon amendments were
proposed, when the President ruled, as
heretofore, that no amendment is in or
der after the report of the committee is
agreed to. This left the question strictly
between Alilledgeville and Atlanta. Your
corespondent has endeavored to have it
so altered, that Alacon might present her
claims to the people for the right of the
capital.
Senator Hudson, of Eatonton, opened
the debate. He said:
Before proceeding with any statement
on tliis question, I will first read the
provision in the Constitution in reference
to the location of the capital: “The
seat of Government of this State shall be
in the city of Atlanta,” etc.—thfe provision
as to amendments is as follows: “This
Constitution may be amended,” etc. So
Senators, by following the law on this
subject, and adopting this bill, there is
no expense connected with it. This is
not a sectional question; preference for
Milledgeville or Atlanta has nothing to
do with it; this is a question for the
whole people of Georgia. When this
question was before this Senate and some
members were absent, it was said that
those who wished the matter referred to
the people should have opportunity to
declare it.
I have no personal feeling or hostility
to Atlanta. Well do I remember the
time when we heard of the destruction
of the city, by that ruthless incendiary,
Sherman, whose name will descend to fu
ture ages in company with Calligula and
Nero, in perpetual execration. We then
felt and deeply sympathized with you, as
well as when his unheard of cruelty in
forcing her citizens, women and children,
to leave their homes in ashes, and were
scattered to the fore winds of heaven.
AYe remember, with gratitude and exulta
tion, the manner in which your citizens
voted against the iniquitious Constitu
tion. If the Constitution was wrong
which brought the Capital here, I hope
you will not now attempt to take advan
tage of that wi’ong. Y’ou have now the
glory of voting against the Constitution,
and do not now tarnish that glory by per
petuating the wrong. But what has Alii
ledgeville done that there should be oppo
sition to her ? It is true that she was not
burnt like Atlanta, but she also suffered
severely at the hands of our ruthless in
vaders. People there, relying on the fact
that the capital should remain there, ex
pended large sums of money in improve
ments.
AA’hen you remember the many noble
men who have been and spoken there—
Troupe, Forsyth and other noble Geor
gians—it surely was for no wrong that
the people of Alilledgeville have done that
tbe capital was removed. It certainly has
the advantage as to geographical position
To let it remain there would remove
fruitful som-ce of discontent and discus
siou about mileage of members of the
General Assembly. Buildings, ample for
all purposes of Government exist.
Air. Erwin here interrupted by inquir
ing, “how much will it take to put those
buildings in repair?”
“Comparatively, sir, nothing, taken in
consideration with this old building and
having to build a new one. Instead of
expending large sums of money to build
new buildings use the old ones, if we are
so poor. Those buildings were sufficient
for former times and former men whose
names all Georgians revere. Besides, this
building is very unfit as well as unsafe to
hold the meetings of the General Assem
bly; especially the House of Representa
tives, in many parts of which it is impos
sible to hear what is said. It is entirely
unsuited to the meeting of a legislative
body: it is fit only for the meeting of a
mob. All I wish is that the people may
have a voice in saying where their Capi
tal shall be. "
Mr. Hudson spoke extempore, and his
constituents may be proud of him. He
made the reasonable argument in favor of
removing the Capital to Milledgeville, all
other supporters of the measure excepting
Air. Gilmore having left him to carry the
brunt.
Senator Arnow, of St. Mary’s followed
Air. Hudson. He took the Senate, and,
indeed, all others who know him here, by
complete surprise. His course and speech
were totally unlooked for. No one had
given him credit for the abilities he ap
pears to possess. AA’e took down all the
speeches phonographically, but time nor
space will allow us to give one, as the
Atlanta papers of to morrow will contain
the others in full.

KIMBALL.
He has appeared in Atlanta
ly'three years of absence, when
ed his chief to the North—the fbrtum
of his chief, Bullock. Both fled from the
just indignation of an outraged and plun
dered people. He returns as the guest
and occupies a bridal chamber of a hotel
which bears his name in enduring letters
of iron, and over which is scattered his
monogram, with the invariable prefix
“the.” The grand structure which re
presents an investment of $750,000, was
sold after Kimball's flight, under a lien
of $60,000 upon the land on which it
stands, and subject to the same for $15,-
000 to B. H. Hill, Geo. Adair and Dr.
Thompson.
But the main cause of Kimball coming
here now, is in the interest of the bogus,
illegal, swindling, fraudulent bonds, is
sued or indorsed by the State, at his in
stigation, during the plundering admini
stration of Bullock, which the State of
Georgia has, so properly, repudiated. The
Legislature is now in session and the
principal attorneys for these bond rob
bers, Air. Thomas L. Sneed and Judge
Lochrane, want Kimball here for the
moral support which his unmolested pre
sence will give their cause. Henry Clews
was the New York partner in this bond
ing, of which Kimball and Bollock were
the Georgia partners.
It is also rumored that Kimball has
been induced to return by ex-Govemor
Brown and others, formerly attorneys in
the Alitchel heirs case, to testify on their
behalf in the suit which has been brought
against them by General Toombs, the pre
sent attorney for the Afitchell heirs, upon
the ground of their having taken advan
tage of the confidential relation of attor
neys and clients, in advising them to ac
cept the terms upon which the case was
settled. There may be something in
this.
AVhy did he ran away from the State
in the night? Nothing but a conscious
ness of having violated the law, making
himself amenable to a criminal prosecu
tion; and he has come back only since the
criminal prosecutions, once begun are a-
bout to cease, and he thinks there is no
longer any danger. A short time ago he
wrote a letter to a personal friend here
proposing to return, if the Herald, of
tliis city, would not advocate his arrest.
It w as shown to the editors, who gave as
surance that they w'ould insist on his hav
ing a fair hearing. (He always had a
friend and defender in the Constitution.)
The women who are conducting the
prayer meeting warfare against Ohio
whisky-sellers show the sagacity of
the Scriptural serpent. A few men still
bid them defiance, and refuse to shut
their doors to customers or open them to
missionaries. To conquer these last
strongholds of Satan, the teetotlers have
had a “tabernacle” built. It is a Rmnll
house on wheels, comfortably warmed
and lighted. This they pitch before the
enemy 's doorway, and sing and pray with
in its wall ad lib. At night, when thirsty
mortals try to skulk stealthily into the
saloon, the rays of a powerful reflector
detect them. They are personally ap
pealed to, and if they still enter, are made
the objects of special prayers, which, de
livered in fervent tones, ring through and
through the bar-room. The “tabernacle"
remains until midnight, and reappears
bright and early next morning. No man
has yet been found who can resist it for
three davs.

How to Act.—In the rare case of wit
nessing an individual whose clothing is on
fire, it is well to know just how to act,
that by promptitude and presence of mind
the sufferer may be saved from a terrible
death. Alake no outcry, if you can avoid
it, bnt seize a blanket or some woollen
fabric—if none is at hand, take any wool
len material—hold the comers as far apart
as yon can, stretch them out higher than
your head, and running boldly to the
person, make a motion of clasping in the
arms, mostly about the shoulders. This
instantly smothers the fire and saves the
face. The next instant throw the person
on the fioor. This is an additional safety
to the face and breast, and any remnant
of flame can be put out more leisurely.
The next instant immerse the burnt part
in cold water, and all pain will cease at
once with the rapidity oflightning. Next
get some flour, dry the skin and cover the
burnt parts with an inch in thickness of
flour. If possible, put the patient in bed,
and do all that is possible to soothe until
the physician arrives. Let the flour re
main until it falls off of itself, when a
beautiful new skin can be found. Unless
the burns are deep, no other applications
are needed. The dry flour for burns is
the most reliable remedy ever proposed,
and the information ouglr

Air. Carpenter and Air. Conkling are
dissatisfied with the press of the countiy,
and, it must be admitted, not without
good reason. The papers have a way of
forming their own conclusions and gener
ally of saying what they choose that is
doubtless very distasteful to the average
Senator. And then the bluntness with
which some of them tell the truth, no mat
ter whom it hits, is sometimes positively
shocking. This might be remedied in a
measure if Dr. Newman, who is traveling
in Eastern lands at Government expense
and in hot pursuit of information, but
with no apparent prospect of catching up
with it, should come across the recent
edict regulating the native newspaper
press of Japan, and send it to Washing

Atlanta is in a terrible state of excite
ment over the recent diabolical and in
cendiary attempt to serenade Hi. Kimball
The citizens and members of the Legis
lature fled from the scene in the wildest
confusion. And yet Atlanta ought to be
grateful to Kimball. He spent what he
stole right in the midst of that munici
pality, and the capital was carried there
through his influence, in order to make
his Opera House a paying investment It
is playing it rather low down on a man
to disclaim any participation in a miser
able little one-horse serenade in his honor.

Precautions Against Sickness.

very depressing; almost as much so as
excessive heat, and a protective medicine
is quite as needful in winter as’in summer.
The commercial stimulants so unwisely
taken in the form of drams to “keep out
the cold,” have a precisely opposite effect
to that produced by Hostetter’s Bitters.
Their first result is succeeded by a reac
