Don Cameron has sworn off to get rid
of the toothache.
Who is there to mourn for Atkins?
Notone, unless he had promised some
body a place.
During the present Congressional see
sion over 7,000 bills have been introduced
into the House, and over 2,500 in the
Senate, besides 500 iesolutions.
Old De Lesseps is so much taken up
with the Suez canal that he is allowing
his Panama venture to languish. The
Srst thing he knows that Nicaragua
company will get the drop on him.
The President’s veto of the river and
harbor steal meets with general ap
proval. In fact, it is likely to become
quite a feather in Mr. Arthur’s cap.
It is stated that Keifer spent consid
erable cash to secure his renomination.
It was probably anxiety for the result of
the outlay that induced that “bender” in
the capitol on Saturday.
And so Atkins was not nominated for
the new Georgia Judgeship after all.
Judge McCay stepped down ahead of
him while the political waters were
troubled, and carried off the prize.
The Constitution says that so far as
anybody knows to the contrary, the
United States custom house at Atlanta
was built for the especial accommoda
tion of one-horse Republican caucuses.
It do look a leetle that way sure enough.
The Ohio Republican Association at
Washington have adopted resolutions
formally indorsing Jay Hubbell’s po
litical assessment scheme. That settles
it. The Ohio man approves the corrup
tion fund, therefore it must be all right.
Somebody in Vernon, Illinois, politely
requested the St. Louis Republican to
furnish him the address of Gen. Hooker.
To this civil request the Republican re
plies rather gruffly as follows: “Gen.
Jo. Hooker is dead. Don’t know his
address.”
The Philadelphia Time* has made the
assertion that the Land League leaders
of Pennsylvania have agreed to sell out
the Irish vote to the Republican leaders.
It has been asked to specify its charges,
but, so lar, has failed to do so. It pro
poses, however, to make specific an
swers in sixty or ninety days.
Of the nine Georgia Representatives
in the House of Representatives only
three —Messrs. Clements, Stephens and
Speer—voted to pass the river and har
bor bill over the President's veto. Messrs.
Blount, Buchanan, Hammond and Tur
ner voted no. Mr. Black -was absent,
and the vote of Mr. Cook is not recorded.
Capt. Isaiah Rynders, the old Demo
cratic war horse of the New 5 ork De
mocracy, is over eighty years old, but he
is yet hale and hearty, and says he does
not intend to die until after he sees a
Democrat elected President of the United
States. He is an ardent anti-Kellyite,
and denounces John Kelly in unmeas
ured terms.
A railroad jubilee is proposed by the
citizens of Louisville, Ky., in commemo
ration of the formal opening of the
Chesapeake and Ohio and Southwestern
Railroad to Memphis; the completion of
the St. Louis Air Line, and the extension
of the Knoxville Branch, all of which
combine to make this a memorable year
in the commercial history of that city.
The Italian mission will abundantly
compensate Mr. William Waldorff Astor
for his defeat in his race for Congress
against Mr. Flower. The palaces of
Rime and the villas on the Arno will be
much more pleasant to the new fledged
diplomat than were the barrooms of
Gotham to the would be M. C. We take
it that Waldorff is solid with “Chet.’
The Robesonians in the House,
chagrined at the action of the Senate in
cutting down their pet appropriation of
$1,000,000 in the naval bill to $400,000,
limiting even this to repairs, and forbid
ding the completion of the monitors
until further orders, have impudently
declared that unless the $1,000,000 sec
tion be restored to the bill, the session
of Coegress shall be indefinitely pro
longed. This is a terrible threat to be
sure. Nevertheless the chances are that
Robeson will not be able to bully the
Senate into voting him his fat pickings.
The true secret of the ease with which
the river and harbor bill was passed by
Congress over the President’s veto is
that our hard worked Federal Legisla
ture is anxious to adjourn. A Washing
ton dispatch says that “everybody is
tired out and homesick.” It could not
be expected, therefore, that so august a
body could allow a little tninglike $lB,-
000,000— of which only shout half was
stealage —to stand between them and
home when they were so tired and longed
for home to much. Five thousand dollars
a year is not pay enough to compensate
our statesmen for longer enduring the
discomforts of the capital, even if the
public weal has to be disregarded, espe
cially as it is too hot to drink whisky
or even champagne.
We feel very much as the Detroit Fret
Preet does when it takes the ground that
for the very reason that the Michigan
items of the river and harbor bill were
legitimate, the Michigau delegation in
Congress should have planted itself
firmly on the justice and honesty of their
demand, and should have scorned to buy
suoport for their just claims by support
ing monstrous frauds. The same is true
of the Georgia claims. They were not
only just, but as far as the appropriation
for the Savannah river and harbor is con
ceraed, a much larger sum than was ap
propriated was recommended by General
G-dlmore. It would have been much
more satisfactory,then, if our entire dele
gation had arrayed themselves against so
barefaced a swindle as is this bill
The railroad companies at Chicago
have determined to put anew burthen
on the grain trade doing busic ess with
the East, in the shape of an imposition
of $2 per car for loading at the city ele
yators m addition to the regular freight
charges. The roads, it would appear,
have borne this expense for two years,
but many now claim that it is too heavy
a tax on them. The new rule went
into effect Tuesday, and naturally
creates quite a commotion among ship
pers. It is thought that concerted action
will be made to defeat it, and the Hew
York Commercial Bulletin expresses the
opinion that if the roads had been con
tent with a charge less extravagant than
$2 per car, possibly the trade might have
put up with it; as it is, our contempo
rary is inclined to think the result will
prove that they have overreached them
selves.
The City Council and Street Rail
roads.
It seems indeed strange in this day of
enterprise and progress that the City
Council of a city of such commercial
importance and rapid growth as Savan
nah can be found to oppose the con
struction of street railways intended to
promote the comfort, convenience and
the welfare generally of the citizens.
Yet such is the case. As will be seen by
reference to our report of Council pro
ceedings, published yesterday, the peti
tions of the City and Suburban Rail
way and of the Coast Line Rail
road to construct branches of their
lines through certain streets of the city
were refused. These petitions had been
referred to the Committee of Streets and
Lanes, who reported adversely thereon, on
the ground that our street railroads have
abused the privileges heretofore accorded
them by neglecting to provide good and
convenient crossings over their tracks,
maintain proper grade levels and keep
the street drains open. For these al
leged reasons the Street and Lane
Committee opposed allowing any more
street railways to be con
structed in Savannah, and there
fore many of our citizens residing
in localities in which there are no rail
way lines must be deprived for an in
definite period of such transportation fa
cilities. This report was adopted by
Council, though, to their credit be it
said, its adoption was opposed by five of
the eleven members present
The position of the Committee on
Streets and Lanes is not well
taken. In the first place, nothing is
more true than the statement made in
Council in opposition to this report,
that if our street railway lines do not
keep their contracts with the city, and
allow their crosssings to become nui
sances,the city has the remedy in her own
hands. Council possesses ample power to
enforce compliance with all the condi
tions upon which the privileges were
granted the street railway lines, and if
such compliance is not enforced, then
the city authorities have simply fail
ed to perform their duty. This is
no excuse for refusing to grant
authority for enterprises of vastly more
benefit to the public than to the railway
companies, and for depriving certain
citizens of cheap, convenient and
desirable transportation facilities, to
which they are unquestionably entitled.
In the next place, we learn from un
doubted authority that since the Coast
Litre Railroad passed into the hands of
its present managers, and the Savannah,
Seaboard and Skidaway Railroad united
with the Barnard and Anderson Street
Railroad (under the name of the City
and Suburban Railway) thousands of
dollars have been spent in their improve
ment, and these companies are still daily
spending money for that purpose. Of
course, in long lines of railway it is im
possible to guard permanently aga'nst
occasional depressions in the track at
some points, and the consequent tempo
rary destruction of the grade level of
the streets at those points, and it
is to be expected also that some
times the crossings may get
somewhat out of order. Regarding this,
however, we learn that the management
of one of the above named corporations
have—in addition to their own inspec
tion of their lines with a view to keep
ing them in order—specially requested
the City Surveyor to report to them any
and every instance that come under
his observation where repairs such
as these are needed, so that they
might be promptly attended to. So
far, we understand, with one exception,
only one complaint has been made by
that officer, and that was in relation to
the new line on Liberty street.
Iu that ease unavoidable circum
stances have delayed the proper
finishing up of the work, although it is
being pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible.
It is evident, then, that the reasons
given for this report of the Street and
Lane Committee —which was adopted in
Council on Wednesday night by a bare
majority of one—are unsound and un
tenable. Still, if the report was the re
sult of a determination on the part of the
committee to henceforth keep the streets
and lanes of the city in thorough repair,
it is encouraging. We have already had
occasion to refer at length to the fact
that although ample means have
been placed at the disposal of
ihe committee, no improvement
of any consequence is yet apparent on
our streets. It is to be hoped, however,
that with the new-born zeal thus mani
fested the committee intend to turn over
anew leaf, and that by the close of the
year we shall see more streets paved,
and many more substantial improve
ments made.
Alluding to the talk about the
adoption of a law giving the President
power to veto objectionable sections of
an appropriation bill without killing the
whole measure, the Washington Star
thinks it is doubtful if Congress will
ever consent to give this extent of power
to the Executive. It says, however,that
really there is no need of such legisla
tion to enable the President to do this
very thing. He already has the power
—and it has been exercised by several
Presidents—to withhold the expenditure
of money tor the execution of unneces
sary work provided for In appropriation
bills. He can exercise his judgment as
to the amount of work to be executed
within the year, and the time of entering
upon it. The fact that an unexpended
balance of four million dollars remains
in the Treasury from appropriations for
the last fiscal year affords an illustration
of the exercise of this power.
It seems that the present Congress is
not the first which has protracted its
session from December to August. The
first session of the Forty-fourth Congress
lasted from December 5, 1675, to August
15, 1876. The thirty-fourth Congress
continued its first session from December
3, 1855, to August 18, 1856. The thirty
third Congress continued its first session
to August 7, 1854. The Thirty second
Congress’ first session lasted to August
31, 1852, while the Thirty-first Congress
beat all others before or since, sitting
from December 3, 1849, to September
80, 1850. These last mentioned were
Democratic Congresses, which placed
their duty to their constituents above
heat, malaria or anything else.
It seems that the house of A. T. Stew
art & Cos. is not to be closed, notwith
standing numerous reports to the con
trary. Judge Hilton ami Mr. Libby will
retire, but the business will be carried
on under the old firm name by Judge
Hilton’s son —who has been in
the house for many years—and
some of the other old clerks. The
reason why the establishment did
not close as announced is said to be be
cause the business was too large and
profitable, and because Jlrs. Stewart has
expressed a wish that the firm continue
at leaaMluring her life. It looks now
very much as if the extended notices of
an intention to clooe up was simply a
cute advertising dodge.
Another Specimen Negrophilist
Hon. Luke P. Poland, of Vermont,
popularly known some years back as
“Uncle Luke,” has been “vindicated,”
and will be returned a member of the
Forty-eighth Congress. Poland was one
of those shining lights of Radicalism
that were suddenly obscured by reason
of their assumption that a Radical states
man was an absolutely free agent where
personal thrift was concerned. Six years
ago his “machine” procured him are
nomination, but he was defeated by an
independent Republican and, has since
had time to meditate upon his frailties.
It does not appear that “Uncle Luke”
has repented of any of these, but Arthur
is a native of Vermont, and Vermont is
stalwart. Poland is also a 9talwart, and
hence his "vindication.”
In a speech to a number of his sup
porters in St. Johnsbury a few nights
ago, Poland declared that his mission
would be to see that the negro was ac
corded the rights that were denied him,
and to secure free suffrage in the South,
and these sentiments, we are told, were
loudly applauded. As Poland could not
“point with pride” to his past career,
and could only “view with alarm” the
future prospects of Radicalism, his
championship of the negro was diplo
matic, even if it were ridiculous. Ver
mont, we believe, is fairly supplied with
schoolhouses, but that a group of towns
people in that “cultured” common
wealth should applaud such twaddle as
Poland indulged in raises a doubt as to
the utility of the aforesaid schoolhouses
for the purposes they are usually design
ed to serve. But, for that matter, Poland
might have sniveled in the same
way anywhere in New England
and other strongholds of Radicali m,
and been likewise applauded. The av
erage Radical is the same everywhere.
One half prejudice, one third disgusting
egotism, and the rest ignorance, relieved
by cheek, and what is called “Yankee
smartness.” The leaders, trained to
politics, necessarily know the real state
of affairs at the South, but they also
know the men they deal with, and play
upon their prejudice and ignorance to
the top of their bent. The whole trou
ble with the ignorant Radicals is, that
they cannot conceive of a negro Demo
crat any more than they could of
a well treated and contented slave. It is
by pretending to agree with them that
the Radical majority turns out legally
elected Democratic Congressmen and
sends election bullies clothed in the Fed
eral livery to the South to impede the
people at the polls.
Vermont has two members of Congress,
and probably not a thousand negroes
within her borders. Imagine half the
black population of South Carolina
transferred to the Green Mountain
State and led by worthless
whites. How long would negrophilism
continue among the canting constituents
of Edmunds, Morrill and Poland? But
Poland and others like him—the whole
North, in fact —may as well understand
that they may cant and whine as they
please, the South is going to be ruled by
the intelligence of the South. There
are thousands of negroes who recognize
the wisdom of this, and are thriving b} r
reason of their good sense. Poland, if
his party be strong enough in the next
House, can record his vote in favor
of a Mackey or a Smalls against a
representative Democrat, but the com
bined powers of Radicalism cannot af
fect the local government of this section
in the smallest degree. Furthermore,
for the benefit of Poland’s constituents
and those of others like him, we would
beg to remark that scalawags are rare
here, but when once retired they are
never recalled from the obloquy they
have earned.
Poland, of Vermont, declares his mis
sion in Congress will be to take care of
the rights of the negro in the South.
The theory of our government is that a
Representative is sent to Congress
from a State to look after the
interests of that State, and this
theory has recently received cordial
indorsement from Mr. Brewster, our
Radical Attorney General, when he de
cided that a Congressman was a State
and not a Federal officer. If Mr. Poland,
therefore, minds his own business in
Congress he will have his hands full,
without bothering himself about impu
dently meddling with the affairs of the
people of other States with which he
has nothing whatever to do.
The Georgia Radical bretnren still do
not live together in harmony by a long
shot. Yesterday the Pledger faction,
styling themselves the “regulars,’ met
and indorsed Gartreli for Governor, and
put a ticket in the field on which the
colored element largely predominated.
The “Bolters,” under the leadership of
Longstreet, Farrow A Cos., held
also a convention, and placed
a ticket in the field. “The
regulars” assert that they intend to put
pien on the stump everywhere, and make
a vigorous campaign. The indications
are, however, that they will have to do
more stumping agaiust their own party
than against the Democrats.
Says the Boston l’ost: “The rapidity
with which the South is developing its
cotton manufacturing interests is seen in
the fact that during the years 1881-82
the increase in the number of spindles
set up was as follows: Georgia, 106,000;
Alabama, 34,000; Tennessee, 24,000;
Mississippi, 32,000; Louisiana, 21,000;
North Carolina, 48,000; South Carolina,
5)6,000. Total 361,000. The investment
represents about $9,763,000, and with
the sum required to operate with added,
about $12,214,000. ”
Robeson Bey is reported to have told a
delegation of remonstrating constituents
the other day that they really did not
know what they wanted.
Major Richard Taylor Allison, nephew of
President Zachary Taylor, has been ap
pointed Clerk of the Superior Court of Bal
timore, vice Francis A. Prevost, deceased.
Major Allison was a lawyer, and practiced
In Baltimore city for some time, but was
appointed Paymaster In the United States
navy, which position he held until looi,
when he resigned and entered the service
of the Confederate States. During the war
he held the rank of Major In the marine
service, and was attached to one of the de
partmenls in Richmond, Va. After the
surrender of General Johnston at Greens
boro, N. C., In 1865, he returned to Mary
land. Re was appointed by Chief Cle'k
Robinson tn 1867 to a clerkship In the Supe
rlor Court and Deputy Clerk of the Bupreme
Bench, the Clerk of the Supreme Court
beta? also clerk of that body. Major Alli
son Is a gentleman of fine appearance and of
very attractive manner, and Is a Democrat
in politics. His wife was Miss Marl* Tan y,
a daughter of the late Chief Justice Janey,
and his social connections are with many of
the best families of Maryland.
The commune of Wangen, in Alsace-Lor
raine, has just celebrated its annual fete in
commemoration of the abolition of the
feudal taxes paid to the seigneurie of the
district. The monumental fountain oppo
site the parish church is filled with wine In
stead of water, and visitors from all the
neighboring towD6 and villages are Invited
by the municipality to come and quench
their thirst. The anuual rente formerly
amounted to 600 measures of wine. Several
law suits were brought against the commune
between 1792 and 1828 for the purpose of
claiming the duee which had been abolished,
and the last one was decided in the latter
year in favor of the public, on the ground
that the Impost was not a land tax, but a
feudal claim.
OENBRAL NOTES,
The Rev. Leonard Woolsey Bacon, of
Norwlck, Conn., recently took part In a tub
race. There were four other contestants,
and Mr. Bacon held the fifth position at the
finish.
William Montgomery, an old soldier of
the Seventeenth Ohio Volunteers, has noti
fied the State pension agent that he has re
covered from the disabilities he received In
'he war, and asked that his name be stricken
from the pension rolls. Similar cases have
been heard of before, but they are rare.
Mrs. Emma Young, Queen of a large
tribe of gypsies that have lately been en
camped in the Mound Builders’ “Old Fort’
at Newark, Ohio, but who had reMded for a
loDg time at Dayton, died on Friday last.
She was born in London, England, and was
thirty-three years of age.
A curious coincidence Is noted by a for
eign journal. It was on thel6:ho.' July,
1881, that the French fleet successfully
bombarded Stax, a town which was then
given over to tbe flames. It was on the 16th
of July, just one year later, that the Eag
lish fleet bombarded Alexandria, which has
also been burned.
Egg parties are a late invention in coun
try amusements. The girls write their
names on eggs and deposit them in a basket.
The gentlemen draw the eggs from the bas
ket and claim the company of the girl
whose egg they have taken. Whether the
eggs go back to the pantry or are preserved
as mementoes Is not stated. It would be
easy to hatch out ideas for the further de
velopment of the game.
A San Francisco paper prints the follow
ing : “Laborers excavating for the Atchi
son, Topeka and Santa Fee Railroad, six
miles south of Crittenden station, Arizona
Territory, discovered three pottery ollas
filled with human bones. The ollas were
imbedded three feet in solid lava rock, and
appearances indicate that the lava had
flowed around them. In one of the ollas
were found three Spanish coins bearing date
1543. The pottery was painted inside, like
that found in all the old ruins of Arizona.”
Mayor Grace of New York says that he
has replied to Mr. Bergh’s appeal to him to
prevent the glove fight in Madison Square
Garden two weeks from next Monday night,
and that he will soon determine what course
he will pursue. He says it is not a question
of what he would like to do, but of what
the law permits him to do. Recent de
cisions of British courts that glove fights
intended to test endurance or do bodily In
jury are illegal, seem to justify the belief
that Sullivan and “Tug” Wilson could be
punished for violating the law against prize
fights.
According to official returns Germany em

1,636,099 males and 345,753 females—the
total number of separate establishments be
ing 93,554 Of the persons so employed,
68,513 males and 37,290 females were born
in 1866 or later, while 233,676 males and
111,636 females were born in 1861-’65. The
female laborers predominate in the textile
industry, in the paper business, and in some
branches of leather work. Less than five
workpeople are employed in each of 59 089
establishments, and over 300 iu bu“ 1673
The tendency is toward a rapid increase of
the large firms, although public opinion and
the goverement encourage the smaller

Almost every one has heard of the great
Natural Bridge in Virginia, but compara
tively few have seen it, for it is out of the
common lines of travel, and until lately has
not been eisily accessible. But this present
summer anew railroad, running through the
Shenandoah valley and known as the Shen
andoah Valley Railroad, has established a
station near this bridge, and It is likely to
be much visited hereafter, as it is one of
the most remarkable of the natural phe
nomena of the country. It is of limestone
rock, having a height of 216 feet, with a
span of 60 feet and a width of 65 feet. Toe
thicknefs of the rock In the centre of the
arch is about 50 feet. The bridge Is over a
creek, and has long been used as a roadway.
The beautiful mountain scenery of the re
gion makes the locality a pleasant one to
visit.
The members of the Boston Miniature
Ideal Opera Company had to pass inspec
tion in New York before they were per
mitted to appear in “Patience,” at Wal
laces Theatre, at the instance of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children. This society dearly likes to get
hold of an opera company, little dancing
girls and other Infant phenomena, as it Is
thus lifted out of the quieter walks of life,
where there are mot crying evils, and
where most good could be done, into public
prominence. It was found that the Minia
ture Ideals numbered sixty-five, and that
only twenty were under sixteen. And six
teen-year-old girls are usually healthy and
solid miniatures. The Mayor counted out
two or three who were under eleven years,
and left a nearly full grown opera troupe to
be played as Boston miniatures.
The “snake” campaign has opened in
Pennsylvania. Among the earliest are the
following: Margaret Kane, of Mauch Chunk,
walking on bare feet, stepped upon a vic
ious copperhead, which at once immodestly
buried its fangs in the calf of the leg. Sh
was stupefied with liquor, and a live toad
was fastened on the wound. The toad ab
sorbed the poison and died, and the little
girl recovered. Squire Clouser, of New
Broomfield, whose veracity has been unim
peached for many years, set a box trap for
squirrels. A squirrel sprang the trap, leav
ing room, however, for a mouse to enter.
A copperhead snake followed and devoured
the mouse, which so increased the snake’s
bulk that it could not retreat. Squire Clou
ser killed him. Mrs. Benjamin Bitter, of
Strasburg, was engaged In the familiar work
of adjusting a switch of false hair when
she heard a hissing 6ound proceeding from
the back of her head. What she had sup
posed to be a coil of her hair proved to be
a black snake, which she promptly dis
patched.
In an article on woolen goods and woolen
machinery, the Boston Commercial Bulletin
gives the following facts: “Great improve
ment6 have been made in woolen ma
chinery even during the last decade, and
many appliances have had to be set aside,
not because they were worn out, but
because new inventions have rendered
their use unprofitable. Ten years ago
the bulk of the wool spinning of the
country was done on hand jacks. Now
two-thirds of It Is done on self operating
mules, while the jacks are fast following
the jennies Into obscurity. Tbe building of
new mills, the substitution of Improved
mechanism, and the replacing of machinery
which is worn out, must Inevitably give em
ployment to a steadily increasing number of
American machinists. And It is gratifying
to note that most of tbe woolen machinery
used not only in the United Btates is of
home production, but American inventors
originated many machines which are now in
use in the woolen mills of Europe, and are
Indispensable to successful manufacture
there.”
There is a present lull in the Rus
sian Hebrew refugee immigration in
New York, which enables the New
York Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society
to take h reatL and look over the whole
field. The Russian refugees are now
coming In at the rate of forty or fifty per
week, and last week only thirty arrived.
The Castle Garden authorities have driven
away about four hundred who have been
living some months in sheds within the Gar
den lnclosure, and these have been taken
under the more Immediate charge of the Aid
Society, which has only 900 of the 8,670 arri
vals now on its hands. Mr. Schlff, a wealthy
Hebrew,ls building a house cn Ward’s Island
for women and chlldreu.and this will be com
pleted about the middle of August. Situa
tions are found for the able-bodied at the
rate of twenty-five a day, and of all this
class of immigration fewer than two hun
dred have been sent back on account of
physical Infirmities, and rare cases of refu
sal to work. Tbe colonies at Tlneland,
New Jersey, and Cotopaxla, Colorado, are
prospering. The cost of colonizing every
family of five persons is five hundred dol
lars, Including house, tools and one year’s
support, and the average cost to the Aid
Bociety of every immigrant disposed of has
been found to be seventeen dollars and
thirty five cents.
A correspondent, who Is evidently a
Scotchman, sends this note to a London
contemporary, and It expresses, probably,
tbe opinions of many of his compatriots
upon that solemn subject, the “Highland
bonnet:” “A questlou was asked In the
House of Commons by Sir H. Maxwell the
other night on this subject, to which Mr.
Childers replied that a committee composed
of Scotch officers was now engaged consid
ering tbe matter. Thete can be no doubt
that the present head-dress, when first pur
chased, Is expensive; but what other head
gear lasts eighteen years, as the Lieutenant
Colonel of the Black Watch will tell iny
one his bonnet has? I saw the other day
a regulation black heimet with a huge
thistle chalked out In front rising from the
base to tbe apex. This was evolved from
the workshops of a military designer, and
was simply absurd. In bright sun, with
such a badge, a man would be the ‘cyno
sure of all eyes’ of the enemy No Scotch
offleer desires to have the Highland bonnet
done away with; but, if It must go, would It
not be far better to take a Highland flat,-
topped bonnet, which can be pulled over
the eyes, will stand rain, round which a
puggaree can be placed, and which will cost
but a trifle and be truly national withal? A
model of this bonnet now lies before the
committee, which, for smartness and utility,
it would be hard to beat. It has the sane
tlon as to its being a perfect Highland bon
net of the Duke of Sutherland, of the Mac
intosh, and others. It can be worn with or
without a plume.”

Macon, August 2.— The fruit raisers and
pomological experts of Georgia oommenced
their annual s ssions yesterday with such a
display of vineyard and orchard products as
has never been witnessed in this old Common
wealth before. One whole floor of Judge E.
E Brown's ne.w hotel building had been
generously tendered to the society, and was
well filled with tables covered with artistically
arranged samples of grapes, peaches, pears,
figs, apples, melons, pomegranates and a few
choice vegetables.
The society convened for business in one of
the depot rooms at 10 a. m., the appointed
hour, and were greeted with a handsome and
hospitable address of welcome from Mayor
Corput on the part of the city. Dr. W. B.
Jones, the noted agriculturist and seedsman
from Burke, responded in behalf of his
brethren in felicitous and graceful terms.
The chief matter of business before the body
was tbe consideration of the new charter
which had been applied for and granted by the
Superior Court of Fulton county. On motioD,
it was unanimously adopted, and a committee
appointed to draft the necessary constitution
and by-laws. The society then adjourned to
3 p. m.
THE FRUIT DISPLAY.
A careful examination of the tables revealed
numerous and magnificent contributions from
every quarter of the State. Blast and west,
north and south, vied with each other in the
tempting array of luscious fruits which were
exposed te view. Indeed, if our Western and
Northwestern friends had been present, they
must have admitted that the display would
have been considered respectable even in
California.
The grapes, peaches, apples and pears were
simply superb.
OF APPLES,
Mr, Samuel H. Humph, of Willow Lake Nur
sery, bore away the palm. He showed forty
five plates of delicious apples, as follows:
‘Equinitelle Apple,” -Sweet Borough,” “Jew
ell’s Best,” “American Summer,” “Killoges

same gentleman had no less than fifty
four varieties of peaches on exhibition. Among
the most luscious of these were the“ Crawford’s
Late,” “Btump the World.” "Indian Blood
Cling,” “White July Cling,” “Yellow July
Cling,” “Lemon Cling,” “Great Eastern,” “El
berta,” the best peach in the room, “Heath’s
Late White,” etc., etc.
There were other excellent displays of
peaches also, which included many of the
above named varieties, but it is impossible
to enumerate them all.
MR. p. J. BERCKMANB
is entitled to the premium for the largest and
best collection of peas. He exhibited thirty
kinds, covering all of the most popular brands
They are namei as follow-: "Admiral Farra
gut,” “Onondaga,” “ Compte de Pari*," “Lieu
tenant Loitiorn,” “Bearre Cleargeau,” “‘Law
rens.” “Dr. Koek,” “D. O.Yenna.” "Jaunain.”

“Honkel.” “Edmonds,” “‘British Queen,”
“Louise d’ Printemps,” “Uvidales,” “St. Ger
main,” “China Sand,” "Benne d’ Angon,”
"Vans Mons” and "Seckle.”
Some of the above specimens were very large
end toothsome. Dr Hape, of Atlanta, and
Dr Brown, of Augusta, h and magnificent stands
of fruit. The Bartlett and Duchess pears of
the former, and the luscious Agawam, Cataw
ba, Concord and Isabella grapes of the latter
attracted universal attention. One of the best
grape displays was made by
MR I AVID MILNB,
of Bibb county. His table contained no less
than twenty-one varieties of the fruit, which is
intended “to cheer, but not inebriate.” Their
names are the “Almy,” "Noah,” “Mrs. Mc
i.ure’s Maxatawny,” “Croton,” "Delaware,”
“Champion.” ‘“Perkins,” “Catawba ” “Nor
ton’s,” “Blue Favorite,” “Black Eagle,” “Di
ana ” “Hartford Prolific.” “Black July.”
••Pauline,” “Brighton,” ‘“Wilder,” “Ives ’ and
“Concord ”
Mrs. Thomas Hardeman, Jr, made a fine
show of carrots, cabbage, Irish potatoes and
beets from her garden.
The Dowling Hill Nursery, Atlanta, Dixon
Nursery, Thomasvil'e, Hopeville Nursery, and
Upson Nursery. Yatesville, were largely rep
resented with a wealth of grapes, apples,
peaches, pears and figs.
Mr. Anthony, of Bibb, came to the front
with fifty varieties of gr ipes. His vineyard is
one of the most extensive and profitable in
the South.
In the afternoon session an election for offi
cers resulted in the choice of P. J. Berokmans,

Prof. J. E. Willett, of Mercer University, sub
mitted tne following deeply interesting report
upon
ENTOMOLOGY.
To the Georgia State Horticultural Society:
Gentlkmes—ln the discussion of nuts in the
catalogue at our last meeting several members
of the society concurred in the fact that many
of the pecan trees die down to the ground every
year and put up again the next year, and that
from this interrupted growth many trees have
not borne fruit. It was suggested that the in
jury was caused by a worm.
I was not prepared at that time to give the
true solution to the matter. In reply to my re
quest of members to observe and endeavor to
get tbe specimens of the insect I am happy to
say that Mr. A. J. Yates, of Pike county, and
Mr T. L. Kinsey, of Savannah, were very suc
cessful in procuring the beetles, and in sending
them to me with specimens of the twigs in
which they had deposited t heir eggs. I return
my thanks to these gentlemen for tkeir kind
co-operation.
Subsequently Prof. E. A. Steed, of Mercer
University, caught a beetle on a hickory tree,
whose twigs were girdled and contained many
eggs. He brought me the beetle and samp.es
of tbe twigs.
Many twigs of a persimmon tree, on the
campus of Slercer University, were found lying
on the ground, having falleD from being gir
dled, and containing many eggs.
Mr. Yates found them on English walnuts
and pecans, Mr Kinsey on pears, Prof. Steed
on the hickory, and I gathered the girdled
twigs of the persimmon. These are the only
trees which they are known to infest.
The beetle from the English walnut I for
warded to Prof. C. V. Riley, Entomologist of
the Department of Agriculture at Washington.
He pronounced it the girdler, or oncideres cm
gulatue.
It was first described by Say, the veteran
American entomologist, in 1825, but its curious
habits were first observed and published by
Prof. Haldeman, of Pennsylvania, in 1837. It
has been studied since by Messrs. Walsh and
Riley.
The girdler, or hickory twig girdler, as Prof.
Packard calls it in his late bulletin No. 7, is a
thick-bodied, long-horned, dark gray beetle,
six tenths of an inch long, with its wing covers
sprinkled with tawny yellow dots. It belongs
to the family cerambycid® of beetles, which
family includes most of the true wood-borers.
It is nearly allied to the apple tree borer, f ap
erda bivittata.
Prof. Haldeman says the beetles are found
in Pennsylvania during the last two weeks in
August and the first week in September. Mr.
Yates forwarded me four beetles October 17,
1881, and Mr. Kinsey two November 7, and four
November 14, 1881. Their times of appearaneo
are doubtless governed by the time of the first
frosts at various places. Mr. Yates found at
least one pair together, and Mr. Kinsey says:
“I have always fouid them working in pairs,
never singly.” Their jointed antenna are
quite as long as the bodyof the beetle, and are
usually curved over above forward. The face
is very long and nearly vertical. They are slow
motioned and iheir grave colors, long sober
faces and inquiring antennae givs them a very
comical look They are usually engaged in de
positing their egg* when seen in p iirs on trees.
To effect this the female makes perforations in
the bark of the small twigs,generally j ust below
the buds or side twigs. The editors of the Ameri
can Entomologist “have counted in a persim
m-n branch not more than two feet long, as
many as eight egis, while they ha e found
seveu eggs all crowded together in a small
hickory branch only three inches long. After
depositing an egg in each perforation, the fe
male proceeds to gnaw a groove around the
twig, below the lowest egg, through the bark
nn 1 wood, sometimes almost to the pith. This
kills the limb above the groove and, if suffi
cienrlv severed, the limb may fall to the ground
with the first high wind. Some limbs hang
longer on the trees Professor Haldeman men
tions one that did not fall until nearly a year
after the girdling, , 4 . ...
In a short time the eggs hatch and the little
grubs begin to mine Into the para anil wood,
I found them thus engaged in the tAierstent
"They eat away the sap wood in the early
wi. ter, and burrow up,and down under the
bark, sometimes In small twigs, consuming all
but the bark. , ...
The larv® are white, footless, with strong
black mandibles or jaws. By meas of their
well-developed ring or sepnents. they are en
taken from the P ground under the trees are
nearly three-fourths of an inch long, flattened
and enlarged back of the head.
Following the habit* of the family, the> l*nm
finally o construct a fort of cocoon of chIDS at
the end of their burrows
with their heads uext a place where they have
gnawed uwav the woodiout to the 6 • rom
thfxaA it in vi* insues the mature oeeue.
■nfe Of the girdling seems to be two
fold! First, to kill the larv® may
have dead wood as food, they may not be
fitted to live on the w^d
the lfmhM tn fall to tne earth, wnere tne wood
may be kept damp and commence to decay
SiLk hahits of this very singular In
sert every fall the young twigs,
destrovinirthe terminal buds and shortening
tottXS. to f riouMy
falur^mir.heH 1
man welouldcall this
a fair of reason, of forethought, or de
si£ £Vot reason, but when the
parent lays her eggs in
young cannot eat. and thenprooeeds tom
the limb bv girdling it, and giro lea It ao it snail
fall, that tL? wood maykeepaatupandbegln
to moulder; and when the larva gets ready to
pupate it gnaws a hole through tne wood, that
the outcome.g beetle may escape * J
all this without memory or reason owning to
the aid—we are compelled to refer all this to
a Heaven-given instinct.
RdMBDiEs. —As the larv® lie within the
twigs for nearly a year, they may easily
be destroyed by gathering and burning the
fallen twigs at any convenient time before
the first ploughing of the orchard. Another
S recaution is suggested by a remark of Mr.
insey. “that trees on the outside rows of the
orchard are so far the only ones attacked; and
that this beetle must work on other kinds of
trees in the wood adjoining." As the persim
mon and hickory are favorite trees of the gird
ler, it may be well to cut down all trees of this
kind near the orchard
Phylloxera —I have not been able to study
phylloxera at all since our last meeting. If
any grape growers have met them on the
leaves or roots of their vines, the society will
doubtless be glad to have their experience.
Noxious Insects.—lf the members of the so
ciety desire to have any particular inßect pests
investigated, I will thank them to call my at
tention to them, that I may sav something of
them in my next report
Fntomoloqical Booxs—Every horttculturist
should study 'he insects which Infest his plants
and trees, lust as he studies the latter. To en
courage this study, I have recommended in
every report one book as the best for begin
ners. viz.: “Flint Harris’ Insects Injurious to
Vegetation.” To those who have this, I recom
mend “Packard’s Guide to the Btudy of In
sects.” To all I recommend “Bulletin No. 7of
the United States Entomological Commission,
Department cf the Interior, 7 ’ "Insects Injuri
ous to Forest and Shade Trees,” by A S. Pack
ard. This is a pamphlet of 275 pages, with
one hundred illustrations, and is all that its
title claims. Any one may procure it from the
Department of the Interior through any repre
sentative in Congress. Harris’ Insects costs $4
and Packard’s Guide $5 The three will con
stitute a Dice little entomological library.
J. E. Willet. Committee.
The society to-day after quite an animated
discussion uoon the respective merits of seve- .
ral places, decided to hold its next annual
meeting at Barnesville, where a hearty wel
come was assured to its memoers.
The reran itiing hours of the session will be
chiefly devoted to receiving the reports of com
mittees, and other routine duties.
'1 he meeting has been quite a success the
present year, and our citizens, the ladies espe
cially, turned out in large numbers to view
and admire the magnificent display of fruit in
Brown's ball.
This society is doing much for the material
development of Georgia, and its membership
should number hundreds.
POLITICAL
Reports to the contrary, there Is in reality
but a handful of Democrats in this county who
will withhold their support from Mr. Stephens
when called upon to deposit their ballots.
Bibb will roil up a splendid majority for the
glorious “Odd Commoner.” A few unrecon
structed, impracticable, old Confederates—
honest, but full of prejudice—refuse " o fall
into line ” But the number will diminish as
the fact grows upon them that they, In epen
dent like, are kicking out of the traces of the
party, and antagonizing with three-fourths of
their brethren in the State. What greater
unanimity than was accorded in the late con
vention to Mr. Stephens can ever be expected
in a State like Georgia, whose domain is so
vast, and her interests climate and produc
tions so varied and diverse. H. H. J.

“PRESERVE AND REGULATE, NOT DE
STROY,” is a motto in medication as well as
statesmanship. Preserve the vigor of the di
gestive organs and regulate the secretions with
TARRANT’S SELTZER APERIENT, and you
cure dyspepsia and liver complaint by a pro
cess in harmony with the laws of Nature.
Violent medicines have had their day. They
devitalize the eystem. Reason as well as the
stomach rejects them. Rely on this exhilara
ting specific.
