WismsoTow, June 19.—There is a remarka
bly well develtped trait of morbii curiosity
among the people of this country. The near
approach of the en 1 of Guiteau brings with it
the proof of this assertion. As the day draws
nearer and nearer, the number of peop'e who
write for the autograph of the murderer in
creases with great rapidity. And then there
Is another thing that shows more clearly this
morbid curimity. I is the number of applica
tions which come from all parts of the country
for nassrs to witness what the Western papers
call the "grand event”—ln other words, the
execution. The ‘ sporting” i lass of the coun
try is largely represented in these applications,
but they are by no means confined to that class
of peop'e. People of all classes want to
be in at the death. District Attorney Corkhill
and Warden Crocker, of the jail, are daily in
receipt of applications for permits to see the
*rirtgirg. Many of these applications are made
io p-rson. but the maj >rity of them come in by
mail, and they come fr.iin all parts cf the
country It will be impossible to grant them.
Only a few people besides the jury provided by
law in ca*es of execution snd newspaper men
will see justice done to Guiteau. There will
not be more than a hut.dred and twenty people.
Warden Crtckersays. who will be pe- mitted to
witness the execution Hanging matches in
the DLtrict of Columbia are such as are called
private, but tbe law is always stretched to a
very certain extent. As bis final time draws
near Guiteau keeps up well He shows no
signs of breaking down, bet continues his
braggadocio and also his accumulation of
fat There is not one jot of his egotism
which has been erased He has, however,
given up alt idea of escaping his doom, tie
has even abandoned the hope that his “fellow
stalwart." as he terms President Arthur, will
interfere in his behalf. He now talks princi
pally about his ‘ blood being on the he ids of
the American people.” and at,out his c rtainty
of being wafted straight to the angels after
the final drop.
TERRIBLY hot weather.
We hive for the past few days had terribly
w arm weather We have sweltered and swel
tered and had no re ief Life It as I income
almost insupportable. Washington can be
hotter when it starts out on that tack than any
place in the Union except New York. The heat
penetrates everything and everywhere It
come* on the southern breeze at night, and to
make it worse that rou'hern breeze la laden
with doubtful smells from t'ae (nan and tar
boiling establi*hraents and other nuisances in
that pirtion of the city south of Pennsylva
nia avenue. The it ranger who lands within
the city limits nnw-a-days retraces his steps
jut vs early a* he possibly can start back,
rhie is a bad place to inhabit now. People who
can get away are earing by droves. Many
Washington people more this year than ever
before—are g< Inc to Kuro|te. It is noticed that
that uncertain class who have no visible means
of support, but who go by the name of "pro
moter* of legislation,” are in good numbers
going abroad this year. The return of Repub
lican control in both houses has dealt kindly
with them.
TBE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
The a nount appropriated by the river and
harb-w bill will be considerably inc eased in
the Senate Senators Call. Jones and Brown
wi>l urge the amendments whi h have already
been noted In this correspondence. Some of
theae amendni- nts will be adopted. The
amount of the bill as it comes from the Senate
will, with a little cutting down-probably with
out anr cutting down at all—finally become a
taw. lh*tewas the usual programme in the
passage of the bill by the House. All amend
ment* except one or two were rejecteo. and
the speeches made against the bill did not have
the ir.fi.jenoe of a feather's weight Mr Cox.
of New York, of course made h ! s annual
harangue against the bill, and Mr. Holman, of
Indiana, and others, tried to kill it It was ihe
old farce The increased amount of the bill
ovA-r last year w-aa the main point of attack,
but that ar*um*ot was wiped out by the argu
ment that tt e increase in both internal com

cide questions arising thereon, as a substi
tute foi the Senate bill on the same subject
matter.
Mr. Updegraff described tbe bill as a
compromise bill. It. did not represent the
views of any member of the committee, hut
was the best that could be presented. He
stated that the bill provided that a caudi
d*• e who Is declared not elected may pro
ceed against bis competitor by an action In
the nature of a quo warranto, but could not
proceed against him bv Injunction.
Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, opposed tbe
bill as belne ludicrous and dangerou c , and
Insisted that It ought to be entitled a bill to
ergan'z ■ a hell In the United States. Un
der the bill the person declared elected by
Congress miiiht enter upon the du'ies of

der from a Circuit Court.

TITE GtTANO DEAL
Trescott 71 ore than n Ms’ch for
Belm tot and Blount—The Inquiry
Ended.
Washington, June 20.—Toe House Com
mtttee on Foreign Affairs resumed its ex
amination of Mr. Trescott this morning.
Mr. Belmont wished to know If the Credit
Industriel was the company that
was meant in the iußtructione of
June 15tb, although not mentioned
by name. Witness replied: “I would think
so, unquestionably, to this extent. It was
well understood that the Credit Industriel
had submitted two or three plans, and so
far as I knew it was the only c mpany that
had done so.” Witness doubted the pro
priety of his undertaking to swear to ihe
meaning of a dispatch which was before the
committee, and should be judged by
Its context. He * was willing to
state, however, what he would have Under
stood by the instructions had he been the
Minister to whom they were given. He
would feel justified in giving friendly coun
tenance to the Credit Industriel if they
seemed to be able to furnish a war In
demnity to Chill aDd save Peru from loss of
territory. Bur, if the plans of the company
involved any guarantee on the part of this
government or a protectorate, he would
then have referred the whole matter at once
to the State Department.
Mr Belmont exhaus'ed his Ingenuity In
an eflirt to obtain from Mr. Trescott a
direct acknowledgment that h-t drafted the
instructions of July 15, or chat be had
knowledge that the Credit Indu=tr!el was
the cnmpatiy referred to tn that Instruction,
but, Mr. Trescot refused to answer the direct
question unless the committee so ordered,
and he was too guarded to ba caught by a
sudden question.
Mr Blount also questioned Mr. Tre?eoH
upon his knowledge of the Credit Indus
trie!, but with no better result than Mr.
Belmont reached.
This closed the examination of Mr. Tree
cot’, and the Chairman announced tfaa’ the
investigation under the resolution of tbe
House was probably concluded.
The cnmmi’tee will meet In regular tes
slon on Friday,to which day they adjourned.
The preparation of the report will Involve a
vast deal of labor and the examination of
voluminous testimony. Two reports will
probably be submitted, bu’ it Is extremely
doubtful If they can be prepared before the
ad journment of the present session.
DIS ARM Lit AND EXPELLED.
jinmnurr Treatment of Arizona
Rangers by a .Hex Man General.
Tucson, Arizona, June 20.—Captain J.
Ross, who, with his command of fifty
rangers, left here two months ago, has re
turned. The rangers trailed the remrant of
the renegade Apaches two hundred miles
from the Arizona line Into Chihuahua,
Mexico. They counted nearly three hun
dred dead Indians, many of whom were
found near the mountain trail. They had
evidently been wounded in the fight with
Mex'can troops under General Garcia, and
had Usd for safety. The body of Chief
Loco was identified by one of the party,
who had known him Intimately for six
years.
On the first Instant they fell In with Mexl
can troops commanded bv General Reyes,
and were arrested aDd disarm'd, and after
four davs were ordered to leave ttej Mexican
territo'y. General Reyes info'inea Csp afn
Ross that inasmuch as he had au'hortty as
a Deputy Sheriff fri m Ar'zma, the lives of
himself and men would be spared. K'ss
demanded a voucher for the arms of his
rangerp, which was at first refuse 1, bu’
afterwards granted. Gen. Reyes stated ’hat
he bad sent Col. Forsythe a formal warning
that any body of armed men found on Mexi
can soil would be shot, but he would make
an exception In this case. The ranger* were
compelled to return through an Indian
country a distance of 250 miles without a
single weapon for self defense.
General R*yes admitted thaklie was aw *re
that the rangers meant no harm t.o the Mt xl
cane and were after hostile Indians, hut he
declared that It was a violation of interna
tional law which he would not tolerate.
Advices from Chihuahua City state that
the Mexican treops had another fiiht with
the Indians In Eocincellas, In which fifteen
Indians wer" killed and twenty were made
prisoners. Five Mexicans were killed. The
report of the killing of Chief Ssnchos and
the eon of Juh has been confirmed.

ported by four stlcki. D'gglng rear these
sticks they found two bodies under eight
feet of snow. Exploring further, Melville
found a tent and camp kettle and the re
mains of a fire, and, approaching, nearly
stumbled upon DijLong’s hand sticking cut
of the sdow about thirty feet from tbe
edge of the bank. Here, under about a foot
of snow, they found the bodies of DeLorg
and Ambler, about three feet apart, and
Ah Sam lying at their feet. All were par
tlally covered by pieces of ten? and a few
pieces of blanket.
“All the Others except Alexia they found
at the place where the tent w„as pitched.
Lee ana Koch were close by ifi a cleft In
the bank toward the west. None of the
dead had boots. Their feet were covered
with rag 9 tied on. Ia the pockets of all
were pieces of burned skin clo hlng which
they had been eating. The bands of all
were more or less burned, and It looked as
If when dying they had crawled Into the
fire. Boyd was lying over the fire and hi3
clothing Was burned through to the skin,
which was not burned. Collins was
covered with a cloth. All the bodies were
carried to the top of the hill, 300 feet high,

De9Moines, lowa, June 20.—An appeal
for aid, signed by J. S. Clarkson, editor of
the DisMolnes Register, is furnl-hed in be
half of the stricken communities In lowa,
with the request that all newspapers pub

the tornado that swept over this rtate
with such fearful havoc last Saturday
night, and having reports from scores
of reporters of the Register aud As

I find the condition of the stricken peo

toth-t people of the United States in their

“The tornado made a destructive sweep
through a thtck'y settled portion of lowa,
some 150 miles In leDgth and on an average
of half a mile wide, extending from
points south of Ames county In the centre
and in the shape of a crescent to South
Eaglish in Keokuk county. From the south
western part of the State we have the names
of six’y-nloe dead and five huudred
wounded. Half of the latter are
s°rlou“ly hurt and probably a fiith of them
fatally. Over three hundred families

the town of G. linell al ine over $400,000 In

uot a ce*t of insurance, as in case of fire.
“It will take at least $300,000 to put the
people there beyond need aud distress. It
will take SIOO,OOO at once to put the wound

will take $1,000,000 at least to keep the suf

PERILS OF THE DEEP.
A Steamer Founder* ir ilie Cali
fornia Cciair —t he MUjortljr ol tbe
Crew Thought to be Loti.
San Fbancuco, June 20—Yesterday af
ternoon the *Brlt!sh steamer EscambD,
loaded with wheat, pu? lo sea, bound fer
St. Vincent, Portugal. When five miles off
the heads the steamer caps‘z;d and sank.
As far as known all on board were lost.
Capt. Purvis, with the engineer, cock and
stewards of the steamer E cambia, came
ashore about dayilgh’. It Is learned that
when the vessel began to fill, owing to her
dangerous position, no one would go below
to start the engines to get her head to sea
again. The Captain, engineer and seven
others got into one boat, and nine men took
the lifeboat. The latter boat was full
of water and had no oats. The
Captain supposed that the remainder of
the crew, ninety-one in number,went down
with the ship. The Captain’s boat pulled
ar und In the dtrkness until about one
o’clock In the morning, when an attempt
was made to land on Ojsan beach. The
boat swamped, and only four of the occu
pants succeeded In reaching shore. The
revenue cutter Richard Rush Is now
out looking for the life boat. The E cambia
had a cargo of wheat valued at $90,000,
fully insured. The ship Is believed
to be Insured in Liverpool. It U stated
that It Is the custom to empty the
water tanks on lodlng, and as the coal
is U'ed up to fill the tanks to preserve the
stability of the vessel. The general Impres
sion Is that the disaster Is duetto idling coal
on deck. An Inquiry will be held at once.
In the meantime parlies Interested maintain
a guarded silence. Tne pilot who took >ut
the steamer says that tbe water In the
ballast tank had all been pumped
out to render the ship lighter
for carriage of the cargo, and her coal was
stowed on deck as high as the bridge Whl e
going down the harbor her machtnery was
stopped for a few moments, and the ship
faliiug off tn'o the trough of the sea rolled
her scuppers under. The pilot expressed
the opinion that she was unsafe, and believes
that the ca'astrophe might have been ex
pected In open water.

and obeying impulses of foreign origin.”
The limes, iu Its column of naval and
military intelligence, says the guard-ship
Salourus was recently ordered to D:vanport

portunity to settle the quesUnu. In relation
to an autumn session of Parliament, Mr.
Gladstone said the government would deem
it their duty not to remit the settlement of
the question of procedure to another session

the little group of divines that bound together
the past and the present pulpit history of Lou
isville. Dr. Craik began his worn in the minis
try with his installation as rector of Christ
Church, in 1844, since which time he occupied
his pulpit without intermission until his last
illness, presiding at the font, the bridal and the
burial, receiving the marriage vows of tae
children he had sealed with the sacred sign,
and taking their grandchildren to the baptis
mal altar. Hi was a native of
Alexandria, Virginia. a grandson of
that Dr. Craik who was Washington's family
pbysician, and who ministered to hi j illustrious
patient in his last hours. From this ancestor
our Dr. Craik inherited many valuable relics
of Washington, which were treasured at
“Kanahwa,” his home, near Louisville. Per
haps no man ever better fulfilled in his appear
ance the idea of the purity and sanctity of the
priestly office. As he stood with hands up
lifted in benediction in his flowing surplice,
with his crown of snowy hair and descending
beard, and the stained lights falling across the
saintly beauty of his aged face, it always seem
ed that to complete the likeness there should
be an aureole about the honored head. To
look at him thus was to be reverent at heart,
and to feel in the presence of one who lived
near heaven. But amongst thi shifting scenes
andtbechaDgeof faces that come and go, his
will be seen no more. It was given to him to
rest at last just where his work fell, finished,
from his hands, and where, too, bis busy early
years saw that tisk begun. Christ Church was
here, as Christ Church is everywhere, the
parent stem from which grew the green and
flourishing branches: with the passing away of
the Prince who has fallen in Israel and who
gave it dignity aud honor abroad b> his writ
ings and teachings, it seems truly that the
head of the corner is gone. Dr. Craik was
buried iu Cave Hill Cemetery with the largest
and most imposing funeral of a private per
sm ever seen in Liulsville. He leaves an aged
wifi and several Children, two sons in Alabama
and one in Texas, and another, the Rev Charles
Craik, the youngest of the family, is assistant
rector of his father’s congregation.
There are few sadder instances of the so
called romances and semations that find their
way into the newspapers than that which
transpired a day or two since in San Antonio,
in which Miss Katherine Duncan, Col. Blanton
Duncan’s young daughter, recently of Louis
ville, was wife and widow on what was to have
been her bridal day. She was affianced to
Lieut. Hewitt, whose common o was stationed
at San Antonio, a graduate of West Point in
1879, a brave and gallant young soldier who
promised great distinction, and as a man, a
splendid type of a great and noble manhood.
Shortly before the wedding day, set for early
June, Miss Duncan was seized with a violent
fever and wi* brought to the brink of
the grave. Before the crisis was passed
in her case hex lover was stricken with the
same disease. Each knowing of the other's
danger, and agitated thereby, it was deemed
ndvisable to remove the young officer to Col.
Duncan’s house and thuH quiet their alarm.
With her the crisis passed favorably, but it
soon became evident that the brave soldier,
who longed and struggled so to live, must die—
not as a soldier dreams of dying, in the gl ry
cf battle, but that his fate should rome to him
silently and inexorably, in the midst of loving
friends, shutting out the future that prom
ised so gloriously, and dashing away the cup of
bis happiness brimming to his lips. That was
bitter, indeed. When the news was b oken to
him, ind he had heard the final words, ‘ no
hope,” from the physician, he requested that
his marriage take place before he died. The
bride was borne from her sick bed and placed
bedde him, and they were made husband and
wife in the veiy shadow of eternity by the min
ister who had come to prepare the dying for
his last great change. Then was the heart
breaking parting, and, in a few hours, the end
had come.
Miss Duncan is a native of Atlanta, born
there during the early years cf the war, her
father having tak- n South one of the first regi- ■
ments that left Kentucky to cast its fortunes
with the Confederacy. After living abroad for
some years Colenel Duncan returned with his
family to his old Louisville home, where he be
came a noted and somewhat erratic politician,
using bis wealth to further his rather Quixotic
ends with open handed freedom. A little mo e
than a year since he removed to San Antonio;
his daughter having just entered society, one
of the very loveliest debutantes of the season.
With her pure, spirituelle face, the meek brown
eyes, and the halo of pale golden hair about
her bead, she was tbe artist’s dream tfa fair
Madonna. It seems so out of the common or
der of woe that her bright and innocent youth
should be called upon to suffer such extremity
of anguish. She hovers yet between life and
death—it would be the more merciful prayer
for her that death ehou'd decide the trembling
balance, for life mu it be for her a prospec.
whose beauty and brightness have gone out of
it and left only desolation.
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Watterson, the parents
of Mr. Henry Watterson, recently celebrated
their golden wedding at the residence of their
sou in this city, with a brilliant reception.
Justice Stanley Matthews and wife came on to
attend it -Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. Watterson
being sisters. It was quite different from the
most of those rare events, inasmuch as there
were so few relatives and descendants to clus
ter about the bridal pair. Mr Henry Watter
son is the only child, and his six children con
stitute the only descendants. Etch of the
elderly couple have passed the age of seventy,
but neither of them show any signs of decrepi
tude. Mr. Watterson is a hale, ac ive, genial
specimen of the o d-time gentleman, and Mrs.
Watterson is still a handsome and elegant
society lady.
St. John this year has teen liberally dealt
with—he has three days set apsrt for jubila
tions in his honor. The 24th of June has always
been considered his particular day. but the Ma
sonic fraternity have taken great lioerties with
him, and skipped him over to tbe 26th. One
day is doubtless as good as another to a saint,
and he probably feels pleased to see the prepa
rations that portend a high old saturnalia un
der his patronage. The city is filling up with
different companies of guardsmen and rifle
men from the Pouth. The Porter Rifles, from
Nashville, have arrived and gone straightway
into camp, and are drilling for dear life.
They are in mortal terror of the Chicka
saws, who are coming on their heels.
Since their arrival the skies opened and
the floods came and the rains fell, and they
have no umbrellas, and altogether are the most
dejected-looking et of mortals the eyes ever
rested on. They don’t seem to have spirit
enough left to present arms, and as to firing a
gun—they would certainly break ranits and flee
the country if it were proposed to them! They
can hardly be blamed—the weather is certainly
viUainous enough to take the starch out of
Turvevdrop himself. Ihe Quawpaws, from
Little Rock, and the Crescent City Guards come
with a recommendation that is unique and de
lightful to a portion of the community at least.
There is not a married man, except the com
manding officer, in either company! Fancy
what a tremendous time those poor married
chaperones will have with their giddy young
charges! Coyle Douglas.

Atlanta, June 19.—Vendor’s predictions as
to rainy Saturdays and Sundays in Jnne have,
so far, been found correct in this vicinity.
Reports from the country show some dam
age to growing crops from heavy winds and
rains. Saturday we had quite a severe thun
der storm.
The hot wave struck us pretty heavily about
the middle of last week, and some twenty of
our leading families put out for New Holland
Springs for the heated term, which place will
be Atlanta's Bummer resort.
Already there is quite a stream of travel
from South aud Middle Georgia to the moun
tains of North Georgia. Gainesville, Mt. Airy,
Clarksville, Tullulah Falls and Toccoa will le
popular retreats this season.
SOME LOCAL NEWS.
The Florida Fruit Company, a small concern
doing business on Peachtree streer, has failed.
Assets and liabilities less than five hundred

It looks strange to see the First Baptist
Church advertising opera and classical music
for its “morning offertort" and “evening offer
tory,” with “cornet obligato,” but it draws a
crowd.
Atlanta is becoming too utterly too too in
the msthetic line. We now have the “Tea.”
the “Coffee.” the “Lunch,” the “Art Loan Ex
hibition,” and other modern {esthetic inven
tions for the disciples of Oscar Wilde.
Out Pomoiogicai Society is in a very flourish
ing condition, and has inaugurated its usual
summer exhibits of fruit every Saturday
at the Agricultural Department, where the
virtues of the different varieties are discussed.
The peach market in this section is flooded,
and many of the growers have ceased the'r
shipments to Northern and Western marke's,
as the transportation charges leave no balance
for the producer. Some fruit men are drying
their peaches for future sale, as being more
profltaoie. .
This has been a remarkably lively month
with our Police Court, and the City Treasury
and chain gang have been greatly rep'eaisbed.
Drurkenness and fights have prevailed to an
unusual extent, and the thieves have not been
idle by any means.
The report of "Bessie Cooper's” attempted
suicide was unimportant, as she was too far
lost to be recovered to a respectable or useful
life But aoout the same time the wife of a
well known professional gentleman made two
attempts at self-destruction. She was saved,
however, by prompt medical attention. Do
mestic trouble was the cause of the rash act
And this leads to a painful subject It is sad
to see the increasing • amount of domestic
trouble that prevails in this, as in other com
munities. Divorcer are becoming almcst as
common as in less favored section*, and oc
casionally a wife runs away with another man,
as was the case here not long ago. Something
ought to be done to make our Ik me* more
attractive and the marriage tie more sacred.
Tne paving of our streets and sidewalks has
commenced in real earnest, and yet there are
citizens who still complain. They talk of
"granite rings” and "brick rings,” and a “soft
thing”—not asphalt pavement—and argue that
the work is not going to be durable, or is not
suited to our streets. The Street Commission
ers say it is as broad as it is long, for
‘ They’ll be d—d if they don't,
And d—d if they do.”
All the excitement about the breaking of the
State Road lease must be outside of Atlanta.
Everybody here is serene and calm, as they
know that Senator Brown feels perfectly se
cure in his present position, and will promp'ly
meet the State anywhere and on any groun 1
that aff-cts the legality of the bond of the
lessees If the lease is broken it will be because
the lessees see that its future value is to be
seriously injured by the new Cole sj udicite.
minor topics
Judge J. W. H. Underwood is at the Mark
ham House, and his friends all remark that he
looks wonderfully improved in appearance
since his appointment on the Tariff Commis
sion. One thing is certain, he will prevent the
labors of the commissioners from beirgdull
and weary, as he possesses a wonderful fund
of mirth and humorous stories He will be to
the commission what “Sunset” Cox is to Con

Quite a sensation wa* created in this city on
Saturday by telegrams from New York stating
that Col Wm M Wadley was about to retire
from the Presidency of the Central Railroad,
and that his retirement would be followed by
important changes in the control of that great
corporation and its numerous branches. Col.
Wadley possesses to an unlimited extent the
confidence and esteem rf our best people, and
it is with deep regret that they contemplate
his proposed retirement at this time.
In a previous le'ter I referred to the fact that
Gen. John M. Cuyler, U. S A., a native Geor
gian, was a candidate for Surgeon General,
and was highly indorsed by many distinguished
officials, includi g Gen. Hancock, who, during
hillast visit to Atlanta, spoke to me ia the
mos". complimentary terms of Gen. Cuyler,
who is his medical director, as deserving pro
motion. But the passage of the comp ilsory
retirement bill puts Gen. Cuyler out of the list
of aspirants, although at over “three score
years and ten” he is as active and efficient as
Gen. She man. After nearly fifty years of
faithful service he goes on the retired U*t with
a rank and a record of which Georgia may
well be proud.
Some time ago I stated that the places of the
defunct “graveyard” life insurance companies
could easily he supplied by the rapioly multi
plying matrimonial associations Since that
time the increase in these questionable schemes
has become alarming, and now these “Nuptial
Associations,” or “Bridal Wreath Associa
tior s,” or “Matrimonial Associations,” or “Mar
riage Associations” are in nearly every city
It requires no shrewdness to see that nearlj a'l
of them are merely speculative, and can bene
fit only their originators. Atlanta just now is
full of these questionable schemes and unrel
able schemers.
There is now on exhibition at the Young
Men's Library rooms a very fine portrait of
Gen. Robert E. Lee, painted from life duriDg
the war by a celebrated Richmond, Va , artist,
the late J. W. King, and considered remarka
bly life-like in all its important poiDts. It is a
picture that should find a permanent home in
the rooms of the Georgia Historical Society in
Savannah, the only city in the South where the
birthday of the immortal Lee is celebrated
with full honors. The portrait is the property
of a former resident of Atlanta, now residing
in New York, a Mr. E. H. Craige, who proposes
to remove to Richmond-Va., in a short time.
I would suggest that the Historical Societv. by
acting promptly, can secure this valuable por
trait for their collection.
LITERARY NOTES.
I am in receipt of June number of Home
and Abroad," an elegant magazine, edited by
Rev. Dr. Bernheim and his talented daughters,
of Charlotte, N. C., and with it the announce
ment that the July issue will contain a hand
some full page picture of General Wi liam W.
Loring, of Gainesville. Fla., the "ont-armed
hero of five wars,” with a blographiod t-ketch
by Major Sidney Herbert. The picture repre
sents Gen Loring in the showy uniform of a
Pasha in the Egyptian army, which rank he
attained while in the sei vice of the Khedive.
The August number is to be handsomely irus
trated wtth a picture of the Morning News
building, and of its enterprising propi ietor.
The claim made by the Augusta Evening
News tor the late Col. w. H Sparks, of Macon,
as the author of “Somebody’s Darlinar,” the
beautiful poem so long credited to Mi-s Marie
LaCoste, of Savannah, adds still another to the
already long list of contested authorships.
“All Quiet on the Potomac.” is vet in lively dis
pute; “Tear Down that Flaunting Lie," remains
unsettled; “Beautiful 8now" will continue a
bone of contention for future generations;
“Only Waiting” is but partially settled in favor
of Mrs Mace: “Rock Me to 81eep,Mother," has
rather fallen into the background; the “Trum
pet Major,” said to have been stolen by Thos.
Hardy, the English writer, from Judge Long
street’s “Georgia Soenee.” was really written
for that book by the late Oliver JJ Prinoe, of
Macon, Ga.,as Judge Richard H. Clark shows
in an interesting article in the last Sunny
South. In many oases ft i* very hard to settle
claims of disputed authorship where both par
ties at e in earnest.
CONGRESSIONAL GOSSIP.
As the Cotton Exposition managers claim to
have about three thousand dollars left in their
treasury, after paying all expenses, it seems
rather cheeky on the part of Mr. H. I Kimball
to ask Congress to appropriate five thousand
dollars for printing ana circulating free copies
of.'bia official report, which the Appletons are
to publish for sale. Of course interested Sena
tors will advocate the bill, but in the House it
it will hardly pass muster..
There seems to be a growing con* iction that
the place of Congressman-at-large should be
filled by a nun of high character and large ex
perience in public matters, an I that it would
not be wise to select any young man, or an old
man, who could not secure a nomination for
Congress in bis own district The idea has been
suggested, but speedily crushed out of sight,
that anybody could run for Congresman-at
large. The convention, no doubt, will act
wisely in its selection for that office.
Nothing definite is to be gathered in regard to
the return or shelving of the present Georgia
members of Congress. In one or two districts
there may be changes, but there is not the
usual amount of activity manifested ty aspi
rants who have heretofore desired to tee rota
tion in office. In the Seventh and Ninth dis
tricts the old contests will be renewed, and a
bitter struggle take place; in all the others
there will be an easy victory.
I cannot indorse the suggestion to make
Hon. W. O. Tuggle, of LaGrange, our Con
gressman at large. That gentleman is now a
most effective claim agent for the State at
Washington, and if elected would drop all that
business, and go to sendiog seed and fish to his
constituents, and looking after petty offices for
them, to ensure his re-election. The Btate
would have to hunt up a poorer agent, and
thereby loss money in the change. Let Col.
Tuggle continue to serve us in his present effi
cient manner as claim agent, for we can find
plenty of good Congressmen all ever the State,
but active claim agents are very scarce.
PERSONAL MENTION.

a cletk on Decatur street, sin of a former

more ready cash than comes from an ordioary

There are, however, some men who are will

day. and yet he or.ee belonged to one of the

Atlanta is making some headway in break

Still, we have plenty of up stair places where

new enterprise gives the “Kennesaw Route”

Mr. Stephens has taken the final step in the
matter of a repudiation of all connection with
the political firm of Feltcn, Speer & Cos., and
the Longstreet & Cos. syndicate of Republicans.
His last letter has given him great strength
here among tbe Democracy, and I find no op-
Bosition in the ranks of the honest Independent
eurocrats. Of caurse the Republicans don’t
like it, and clearly see that their scheme to get
into power through Mr. Stephens is knocked
in the head. They are, therefore, preparing
for anew deal and an open hand.
