Baron Nordenskjold and Oscar Dickson

attained great success, as it comprised, in

Tbe Dead and His Legacy.
Yesterday the mortal relic* of Georgia'# j
illustrious son. whose virtues won for
him the affection of her people and the re- j
gard of his country, were committed to j
the tomb with ai! the solemn pageantry
that soulful sympathy could command, j
No grander obsequies ever attended j
the burial of any of Georgia s dis
tinguished sons. The tribute# to the
memory of Alexander H. Stephens
were eloquent- tender aad sincere.
He lived for Georgia, and died in her
service. Hie" virtue* exalted her. and
with his heroic struggle* with poverty
and pain will stand as shining examples
to ner children through coming genera
tions. His worth was illustrated by the
singular bold he fo*se*sed of his pec
pie throughout his wonderful career,
and the affection felt for him could have
found no better manifestation than was
exhibited by the multitude that joined in
homage to his clay, and the respect show n
to his memery throughout the length and
breadth of the commonwealth.
The busy brain has ceased from its la
bors. the grand heart is stilled, the kindly
face is hidden, the moving voice is hushed,
the fragile frame feels no more the pain
that racked it: but the pure spirit, the
man in his nobility and grandeur,
has joined the glorious company of *‘just
men made perfect.” Great men have
died before him. leaving tbe world the
heritage of their achievements. Many
have died with the calm conscious- ;
nes-> of well spent lives. Many
have died "as the fool dietb.” but he >
whose clay was yesterday consigned to !
the keeping of the tomb had long airo
consoled himself with, the promises
of his Maker and contemplated
his end with tbe serenity of simple faith.
He died and left no testament for his ;
people. But in his life can te read tbe 1
wishes fak.would have expressed and the ,
counsel he would have proffered, i
His legacy is his of Georgia, hi#
laith in hi# country's institutions, his i
lofty patriotism, his philanthropy
and his purity. His counsel is. j
"Treasure the memory. of the j
nien who have illustrated Georgia.

A Setback to Maliotie.
The great “anti-Bourbou” movement,
which was planned on paper some time
ago. met with no success in the South save
in Virginia. It succeeded there because
Mahone and his lieutenants seized upon
the readjustment issue aud won
the support of the advocates of
repudiation. The impetus given to the
movement survived till the last campaign,
and Mahone thus won a second but by no
means flattering victory. His course in
the senate, however, has compelled
reputable Virginians who mistakenly
followed him to inquire whither be would
lead them. That inquiry was not difficult
to answer, but it is now no longer neces
sary for any man in the Old Dominion to
put it u> himself.
The decision of the Supreme Court of
the I'nited states sustaining tbe "Riddle
berger” bill dispose# of the Virginia debt
question. Accordingly the question pre
sented to Virginians, who have supported
Mahone in the matter of the settlement of
the State debt, is whether they are willing
to indorse the theories and practices of
Radicalism.
Uiddleberger has declared himself in
effect a Republican. True, he and his
colleague will lie able to dis
pense the Federal patronage
in Virginia, and thus retain the support
or many former Democrats, but it is more
than likely that the majority of their mis
taken followers will retrace their course
and return to the Democratic camp. Tbe
•‘free ballot and fair count” cant has lieen
completely exposed, aud the only induce
ment Mahone aud his puppet can offer is
the "spoils.” This would be a powerful
argument if there were enough offices to
bestow, but the number is limited, and
there is nothing in Radicalism itself to
commend it to the majority of the men who
declared for readjustment.
Mahone and Riddleberger will have need
of consummate generalship to bold to
gether the army with which they won
tiieir victories, and it is hard
ly likely that they can do so.
should they fail, they will serve out their
terms, but will be objects of contempt
alike to their allies and their foes. Kid
dleberger had little to lose and much to
gain by his course; but Mahone forleited
whatever claim he had to the respect of
patriotic Virginians by his betrayal of the
trust reposed in him.
The Montgomery Advertiser, noting the
i publication of the minutes of the fiftieth
i session of the Alabama Conference of the
; M. E. Church, says that the total number
> of '-hurehes in the Conference is 178, a de
i crease of five as compared with 1881,
Total white membership of the churches
: composing the Conference, for the year
lsß2. is given at 32,200, an increase of 040
as compared with the rear before. The
j colored membership for 16*2 was 170,
! against 10 for the year I*Bl. The num
-1 her of -Sunday schools reported is
<4OO. with 17,013 enrolled pupils.
. This is an increase over 1881 of 9 schools
and 830 pupils. The total value of all the
! churches was reported a3 $470,990, an in*
| crease of $0,340 as compared with the year
(previous. Other church property was re
ported at $189,255, an increase of $35,276.
For the year 1882 the total amount paid
the nine Presiding Elders was $10,817 30;
I to* pastors in charge, $00,205 10; for
j Bishops, $1,147 301 The total amount col
; leoted in the Conference for the various
i funds and objects was $119,173 15. Alto
j gether the report shows a healthy growth
and a gratifying prosperity.
The New York Herald, under a display
head, acknowledges the reception of Sa*
* vannah’s contribution to the fund for the
| relief ot the sufferers by the floods in the
' Ohio Valley and remarks: "The wide
reaching interest felt in the Herald flood
* fund was shown on Wednesday last, when
a draft for $1,500 came by cable all the
way from Switzerland. To-day we re
cord a donation of $1,857 35 from the citi
zens of the city of Savannah, Ga. This
contribution is a proof of the close bond
of union that now cements the North and
the South as one homogeneous people, and
the example thu6 set by these citizens of
Georgia is one that should be followed in
other States.”
It does come hard for Republicans to ac
knowledge Mahone as one of their num
j ber. The Sew York Times says:
•• In the Congress which closed its ses
sions yesterday the Republicans bad a
small majority of the House of Represen
tatives, while in the Senate it mar be said
j to have had a contingent majority—one
: which depended on the vote of >fr. Ma
hone, Independent Democrat and Read
; j uster. of \ irginia.”
In view of the fact that Riddleberger.
j who is but a pupil of Mahone’s, has select.
! ed Kellogg’s seat in the Senate, the Times
might do Mahone the justice to classify
him properly.
Geueral 11. V. Boynton, the Washing

Early Fruits and Vegetables in St*
lunii# Market.
A fruit firm in St. Louis, Messrs. P. M.
Kiely A Cos„ recently issued a circular to j
fruit growers showing how the early
fruits and vegetable* produced along the
Gulf coast stood in the *t. Louis market
last vear. Some quotation# from this
; circular may be of interest to the vege
table and fruit growers of southern Geor
gia and Florida at thi* time, who are
already beginning to ship small lota
Northward, and may also be useful in
giving them an insight into the nature of
the competition they are to encounter
from the countries west of them and
equally well adapted to the growth of
early fruit.
The circular state* that the first eab
baees arrived the latter part of February
; from New Orleans, soft and small, but
! *jld for $4 and $5 per crate, which was
considered a high price for the poor
quality. As better cabbages began to ap
pear from New Orleans and Mobile, the
priees improved, and a month later were
$o 5b and So per crate. The Mobile cab
bages being a better article than those
from New Orleans, the former maintained
i the price of $5 and $6 even to the first of
May.
C'ucumlier* appeared in the St. Louis
market about the same time as cabbages,
and sold at from $2 to $2 25 per dozen.
-Mobile and New Orleans furnished most
of tbe early supplies, though points In
Texas, notably Palestine, were free shlp
jien* the past few years. Mobile, after
Ving fairly started, ships heavily in ven
tilated barrels by fast freight, reaching
>t. Louis within three days. Most other
points patronize the express company,
being unable to reach the market so read
ily by freight. In the matter of time and
low rates the Mobile shippers have great
advantage over most other points—fea
tures that in a measure account for the
rapid growth of the industry there.”
Green j>eas were upon the market early,
but date not given: sold for from $2 to
*2 25 per bushel: this, we suppose, in the
shell. English peas can lie sent into St,
Louis market from Florida in January,
ami from all over South Georgia in Feb
ruary.
string beans have appeared in that mar
ket the last week in March, and sold at $4
per box of three peeks, or $0 per bushel.
I-ater the price went down to $2 per box.
The round beans, says the circular, al
ways sell better than the flat ones.
Tomatoes were first received from Ber
muda via New Orleans, about the first of
March—they were small and wrapped in
paper, packed in oue peck slat boxes,
which sold at from $1 to $1 25. They were
supposed to have lieen gathered green amt
given plenty of time to ripen on the way
to market. The Bermuda stock main-
tained their prices until the nth of May,
w hen they were superseded by better fruit
from the South, which sold as high as $2
for one-third bushel boxes. Ou the Ist of
June Mobile tomatoes were still selling at
fl 25 per box.
Irish potatoes were first received from
New Orleans on the #th of March, and
sold at $3 25 per peek box. By the last of
May they were selling at $0 to 's; T 5 per
barrel—the best from Mobile.
From these indications the truck farm
ers of the South Atlantic coast have noth
ing to fear from the success of their
brethren along the Gulf coast, and may
heartily wish them abundant improve
ment in stuff and prices. It is not in
their power to compete successfully with
the Southeast in the better markets of the
North Atlantic, while the great North
western cities are about as accessible to
us as to them. South Florida, too, has it
in her power to have everything her own
way in the matter of early fruits and veg
etables, and control the markets of the
entire country without a rival for at least
a month every season. This is no small
advantage, and points out the grand fu
ture of the Peninsula, worked up to its
great capacity.
In a lengthy editorial upon the life and
character of Governor Stephens, the Bos
ton Adeertixor remarks: “Already the
voice of mourning comes up from the
South, and the lamentation will be gen
uine and deep. The men who unite the
former days w ith this generation are fast
passing away, amt the close of this con
spicuous life is a reminder that while the
government abide*, the men who legislate
and appear almost indispensable to the
wise and dignified administration of af
fairs are taken. In his State, which he so
loved, and in the capitol, w here in the
main he discharged hi# trust with fine
fidelity, he will he long and regretfully
missed.”
The Hartford Pott thinks it may tie
good for the country to have a substitu
tion of business tact in the Senate for the

most people the substitution took place
some time ago, and not to the country's
profit.

acre home in Logan county, 111. There is
a small orchard, a house that needs
paintiug. and some rather dilapidated out
buildings. Bogardus is not rich, He
made a few thousands on hi# loreicn trip,
but is saving that to bet on future
matches. One son-in-law farm* the place
in summer, and tends bar for another
man in winter. A third daughter is the
wife of a saloon keeper in Chicago.
An interesting incident attending the
funeral of the Ritter von Wertheimstein,
a wealthy Jewish banker and financier of
Vienna, was a visit paid by the widow to
the Burgomaster with a check in her hand
for 100,000 francs, which she gave him for
immediate distribution among the poor of
the city. The Ritter von Wertheimstein
started in life as a poor and obscure young
man, but railroad building and other
enterprise*, conducted on a large and
successful scale, made him one of the
wealthiest men in the Austrian empire,
aud raised him to the rank of Baron.
Several of tbe French papers announce
that an active Legitimist propagandism
is tieing carried on in some of the poorer
districts of Paris. Emissaries are sent
round by the Monarchists to distribute
relief to the poor in the shajie of tickets
entitling each holder to receive a loaf of
bread at any of four specified bakehouses
in the neighborhood. At the top of the
ticket is a regal crown with lilies, while
at the back is a lithographed manifesto
signed “Henry V.” Portraits of the
Comte de Chainbord are also given away
to the recipients of the bread.
The Government agent in Uajpootana.
India, rejsirt# that a case of “suttee” has
occurred at I'tuina. notwithstanding the
stringent prohibitions issued by the
English authorities against this cruel
practice. The widow whose life was sac
rificed on the funeral pyre was the wife
of Bham Sing, the Sheik of the village,
All persons concerned in aiding in the
execution of the fatal rite were taken
into custody, aud have been prosecuted.
The brothers and sons of the deceased
Sheik have been sent to prison for seven
years. All of the other guilty partici
pants have been sentenced to imprison
ment for three years.
Cold and rainy summers, such as have
afflicted England of late years, occurred
in the last century and probably in every
century. History rejieats itself in weather
as in all else. About 1750 Lord Chester
field writes to his son from Blackheath,
near London, in June, that he is seated
lieside a blazing tire, and in 1784 Cowper
writes to his friend Newton on June 21:
“This unpleasant summer makes me wish
for winter. The gloominess of that season
is the less felt lice a use expected, and lie
cause the days are short. We have now
frosty mornings.” On July 3 he writes:
“Last Saturday the cold was so severe
that ft pinched off the shoots of our peach
trees,”
The cure of the agricultural troubles in
England will gradually lie worked out by
the elimination of the tenant fanner, ex
cept on the very great estates, thus leav
ing two classes instead of three to live on
the land. Already those proprietor* who
are personally farming many acres of
their own unleaaable land express them
selves as well satisfied with the result.
The laborer will necessarily rise in im
portance with the departure of the far
mer. will probably obtain an acre or two
of land, aud will find his condition ma
terially improved. America and Austra
lia will benefit by the advent of the ten
ant farmer, bringing with him skill, char
acter, and a little capital.
* Persons whose blood has been cor
rupted, and the circulation deranged by
foul secretions—the result of the disorder
ed chemistry of the body—need for their
purification something like an inward
baptism at the hands of Mrs. Lydia E.
Pinkhain, whose lalioratory is at No. 233
Western Avenue, Lynn, Mass. Her Vege
table Compound is fairly inundating the
country as with a river of life.
Remember This.

aid Nature in making you well w hen all
else fails.

complaints,

Bitters.
If you are sick with that terrible sick
ness Nervousness, you will find a “Balm
in Gilead” in the use of Hop Bitters.

Stomach, Bowels, Blood, Liver, Nerves,
Kidneys. Bright’s Disease. SSOO will be

Bitters, costing but' a trifle. Will you let
them suffer! 1
