has been a serious one in ueorgia lor se\ -
eral years, but the people have hardly yet
reached the point where they are willing
to be taxed to keep up the public high
ways. The old road law was a very good
one. and the only trouble with it was that
It was not enforced. Probably the new
law is a better one, but with a large num

Attacking; Morrison’s Bill.
The protection journals are doing what
they can to create the impression that the
Morrison tariff bill is regarded in and out
ot Congress as a wretched blunder. This
was to be expecteu. These journals can
be depended upon to say all that can be
said that is derogatory to the bill. Their
purpose is, of course, to prejudice public
opinion against it, and, if possible, to pre
pare the way for its defeat when it comes
from the Ways and Means Committee.
They even go so far as to declare that the
Democrats of the House are lukewarm
with respect to it. and that some of the
strongest of the tariff reform members re
gard it as an impracticable measure. It
is a fact worthy of notice, however, that
their expressions of condemnation are
very general in their character. They do
not pretend to give reasons for tneir oppo
sition. They do not say that the bill dis
criminates against any interest. I hat
they could not say very well,
because the relation which the duties on
various articles bea.sto each other re
mains as the protectionists fixed it last
winter. The Morrison bill does not pro
ceed on the theory that the duty on one
article is too low anil on another too high,
but assumes that all the duties are tf><>
high. In order to attack the bill with
any show of reason, the protectionists
must admit that the tariff is very unequal,
or that it is not too high. If they say it
is unequal, they condemn their own
work, and if they say that it is not too
high, they condemn the report of then
own tariff commission and repudiate the
admission they have frequently made.
The truth is. the Morrison bill places
them in a very unpleasant position, and
they cannot oppose it without being in
consistent. They don’t want to have to
debate it, ami hence they are striving to
defeat it before it reaches the debatable
stage. That they will fail is certain. The
bill will be reported from the " ays and
Means Committee, and if the protection
ists oppose it. they must take the posi
tion of trying to continue the burdens of
the people without any adequate reason.
They do not offer any plan for getting rid
of the $100.000,000 a year of surplus rev
enue, and they will find that the country
will not sustain them in opposing the
plan of the tariff'reformers.
'I In* .leaiineite’s Dead.
The New York II raid gives an inter
esting account of the journey of Lieuts.
Harbor and Sctauetze from Matveh, Bie
-ria, to Hamburg, with the bodies of Lieut.
De Long, Dr. Ambler, Mr. Collins and
others of the ill-fated Jeannette Arctic
expedition. Lieuts. Ilarber and Sehuetze,
with the bodies, left Hamburg for New
York l ist Wednesday, where they are ex
pected to arrive th** latter part of next
week. The remains will have an impos
ing funeral ill New York. Lieuts. Har
ber and Schuelze started on their mission
two vear* ago. They made a very thor
ough" search for Lieut. Chipp and party
about the mouth of the Lena, but without
success. During the lirst winter
of their absence they transported
the bodies of Lieut. I>e Long.
Dr. Ambler and Mr. Collins and two
others from Matveh to Yakutsk where
they were temporarily buried. The other
bodies were removed to Yakutsk last <>c
t ,h-r. on the-“dti ol last November all
the bodies having been placed in tin-lined
wooden coffins, the homeward journey
began. The civil and military authori
ties turned out to see the party off. Each
sled contained two coffins, anil altogether
tie re were seven sleds and twentv-one
horses. Everywhere along the route the
party were shown the greatest kindness
and every facility was offered them for
prosecuting their journey. The distance
traveled from Matveh to Hamburg was
s.(C>l miles, as follows:
Matveh. bv reindeer sleds, to Yakutsk *OO

The time occupied in going from Aa-
KUtsK U) irauisa nasuia, a~ r ..
which, considering the mode of travel,
was remarkably quick. The time in go
ing front Yakutsk to Hamburg was sixty
three days. At all the towns through
which the party passed flowers were
placed upon the coffins, and other marks
of respect for the dead were shown. At
Berlin and Hamburg there were impos
ing ceremonies. Lieutenants Ilarber and
Sehuetze have performed their difficult
and dangerous mission in a way that en
titles them to praise.
The Mississippi liivor Convention.
The Mississippi River Convention in
Washington appears to have been both en
thusiastic and unanimous. Sentiment in
th** Mississippi valley is not divided with
respect to the improvement of the Mis
sissippi river. The people of the valley
are prepared to make the improvement of
their river an issue, if necessary, and to
support any party that will promise to
give them a navigable channel to the sea,
and protection from floods. No doubt
the Washington convention will have its
influence in securing an adequate appro
priation this year for the prosecution of
the work so auspiciously begun on the
Mississippi. But the convention ought to
have gone a step further, and resolved in
favor of a separate bill for the Mississippi.
There arc two strong reasons in favor of a
separate bill. The first is that if the Mis
sissippi appropriation is put in the river
and harbor bill, the bill cannot be brought
within limits that will avoid criticism. If
the appropriation goes into the river and
harbor bill therefore, the friends of the
Mississippi must tie content to take about
half of what they really need. The second
reason is that appropriations for other
streams must lie smaller if the Mississippi
goes into the river and harbor bill, in order
to keep the bill within reasonable limits.
This will excite a feeling of hostility
against doing anything for the Mississippi
river. It was wise, perhaps, to start the
Mississippi appropriations through the
river and harbor bill, because they needed
a strong committee to get them through
Congress. Now, however, the Mississippi
river is strong enough to stand alone,
l’ew Congressmen are antagonizing the
great work. It ought, therefore, be treat
ed as a separate measure. The committee
may have thought it lietter to leave that
point to their representatives in Congress.
If the convention had spoken boldly in the
matter, however, the Mississippi valley
Congressmen would not have been in doubt
as to the wishes of their constituents.
The Agricultural Convention.
Preparations for the Convention of the
State Agricultural Association, which
meets iu this city next Tuesday, are being
pushed forward earnestly. Those who
have charge of the arrangements are en
thusiastic in their work, and will leave
nothing undone that can possibly con
tribute to the success of the meeting.
The papers to be read will cover impor
tant topics, and are certain to be interest
ing and valuable. Many of the most promi
nent agriculturists in the State will be
present and their experience in planting
will be well worth hearing. Changes are
gradually, and, in some instances, almost
imperceptibly, being made in agriculture
iu this State. Farms are becoming
smaller and crops are becoming more
diversified. Every year there is less de
pendence on the merchant for food sup
plies. Vegetables and grain claim the at
tention of the farmer as well as cotton,
improved stock is being' introduced, and
before many years there will be plenty ot
milk, butter and cheese produced in every
part of tne State. Farmers are beginning
to believe that it is better to farm a few
acres well than to partially cultivate a
large number of acres. The returns are
more satisfactory with less work. Truck
farming has become a feature of Southern
Georgia. All who have attempted truck
farming have not been successful. Every
year, however, increases the knowledge
of the truck farmers, and as their knowl
edge increases their success is certain to
increase. Failure is largely due to a
want of experience in planting, but more
particularly iu marketing the crop. The
benefits that are certain to accrue to
farmers from the coming convention are
great. The interchange of ideas and re
sults of experiments can hardly fail
to bear good fruit.

It is well known, says the Xation, that the

are often covered with clay cups or dishes.
The object of these dishes was supposed to
have been to contain sp'ces, which sent fortli
agreeable odors during the process of crema
tion. Herr Dahlein, a well-known German
archaeologist, was able to verify this view in
the following manner; He had obtained a
dish of this kind, which was broken, and, after
cementing it. had placed it upon a stone for
the purpose of drying the cement. Shortly
afterward lie noticed a strong and by no
means unpleasant odor proceeding from the
heated dish. It seems, therefore, that the in
gredients burned in the di*h some fifteen cen
turies ago li a* i left traces behind which an
nounced their presence upon being heated.

admitted to the convention, and consequently
Mr. Pnillips refused to go in. Those in at

in.”
THE MONTREAL CARNIVAL.
The City Overrun With Enthusiastic
Sight-Seers—The lee Palace Thrown
Open and the Tobogganing Grounds
Illuminated.
The winter carnival, says a New York
Times Montreal special of February 4,
has tairlv opened under the most auspi
cious circumstances and with very bright
prospects as regards the all-important
question of the weather. The city is al
ready full of strangers, who have been
arriving by every train since Saturday
as it'has'never been before. The hotel's
are taxed to their utmost and the
quarters provided by the Carnival Lodg
ing Committee are fast being taken up. By
tar the greater number of visitors consist of
Americans, chiefly from New York aud
Boston, though distant States are also
well represented, and many people have
come from New Orleans to witness a car
nival differing in every way from then
own. The streets are thronged with
sleighs of every shape and description,
from the dashing four-in-hand to the hab
itant’s red traineau. While the merry
jingle of their bells rings gayly through
the clear frosty air, the pavements are
filled with curious, jostling pedestrians
eager to see all that is to be seen. Flags
are flying from most of the public build
ings and many private residences, and
the whole town wears a gala appearance.
The carnival was begun this after
noon by throwing open to visitors
all the toboggan slides and the open
ing of the outdoor skating rinks, where a
hockey tournament was begun in which
the Montreal teams opened the competi
tion. But the great attraction of the af
ternoon was the arrival of the Governor
General and suite by special train front
Ottawa. Their Excellencies were most
enthusiastically received, the feature of
the reception being a living arch of snow
shoers, a decidedly unique compliment.
The arch was covered with evergreens,
tastefully decorated with flags and by an
ingenious arrangement of snow-shoers,
■ snow shoes and toboggans a most artistic
effect was produced. Manned by hun
dreds of snow-shoers in their picturesque
and comfvrtable costumes, it formed a
grand outdoor tableau vivant. The arch
was crowned with a living group repre
senting a gigantic bee hive, the crest of
the petty branch of the Governor’s ances
tral tree, with the Lansdowne motto:
“Virtute non Verbis.” Beneath is the
word “Welcome.”
The ice palace, which w as thrown open
to-day, has leen inspected by hundreds of
strangers, aud they were loud in their
praises of the beautiful structure, which
is the centre and crown of the carnival.
It reflects the highest honor on the archi
tects. Messrs. Hutchinson and Steele, of
this city. It is castellated in character,
and is longer, narrower and higher than
the one of last year. It is of composite
architecture, and in it are from 10,000 to
15,00) blocks ol ice. The main tower is
80 feet in height, being at its base and for
half its height 20 feet square. The next
stage, which is about 10 leet square, is set
on angleivise and rises to a height of 16
feet. On each side there are pinnacles. The
next stage is cf octagon shape, is *2O feet
high, and is surmounted with battlements.
The extreme length of the building
is ICO teet, the width being 04 feet in the
centre and 48 feet at cither end. The
eastern end terminates in an arc or semi
circle. The western extremity is square.
There are four flanking towers, the ends
of each being 13 feet square. The porches
at the front and back are 14 feet by IS
feet. There is ample provision for admis
sion and egress, there being four entrances
and three passage ways. The walls at
the base of the central tower arc 6 feet 9
inches thick and the curtain walls joining
the main building with the flanks are 22
leet high, the part of the main building
next to the centre tower rising to a height
of 28 feet. The turrets flanking the main
or central building are 30 leet from the
ground. The tower bn the corner opnosite
Windsor street is of an altitude of 40 feet,
the towers on the north and south angles
reaching upward 29 feet.
The Supply of Gum Arabic Stopped.
There are only three houses in this
country, says the New York Times, that
deal extensively in gum arabic. Two are
in New York and one in Philadelphia.
Tho operations of El Mahdi having shut
oft'the supplv from the Soudan uo gum is
now coming "down the Nile. The annual
supply from there is front 20,000 to 25,000
bags, holding from 400 to 600 pounds each,
6,000 of which come to this country*. In
speaking of the matter recently a dealer
said that the men who gathered the gum
were lighting in El Mahdi’s army, and
that, moreover, the Greek merchants
could not reach Khartoum, the market.
They took jewelrv, guns, and ammunition
to exchange Tor the gum. These would
be confiscated if thev attempted to go to
Kbartoum now. Hardly any gum, the
dealer added, had come forward for a year.
A year’s supply had been practically cut
off." The average stock of “sorts” in Lon
don is irom 25,000 to 30,000 bags. The
London market, however, has been drawn
on to such an extent that not 2,000 bags
are left. Even if the war were stopped
row it would take three months to iret
gum to London. Tho gum houses, it is
said, have doubled their capital on the
advance. One house made $1,200 on 75
bags that it never saw. Since October,
prime white sorts have gone up from 10
to 25 cents, aud tirst piekiugs from 34 to
45. The confectioners, it is claimed, will
suffer heavily bv the advance. The con
cern in Hartford, Conn., that has the con
tract for making envelopes for the gov
ernment, uses a ton of gum arabic a week.

THE WASHINGTON EYESORE.
Mr. Ingalls Wants ft Located in a Cem
etery.
When the bill to complete the improve
ment of the capitol terrace and stairway
was up in the Senate on the 6th, says a
Washington Courier-Journal special, Mr.
Morrill wanted a newspaper interview,
shoxving the utility of the work, incor
porated in his speech and printed in the
Record. At the same time he wanted the
bill passed immediately. The measure
appropriates $770,000 for the work.
Mr. Ingalls said it was rather a novel
proceeding to have an alleged interview
published in the Record, which could not
be read until after the vote had been
taken. He then attacked the improve
ment from an architectural point of view.
He said the approach on the north side of
the capitol was more in the nature of an
excavation or a canal than an appropriate
or dignified approach to a majestic struc
ture like this. The pavement was
so arranged that when it rained
the whole surface was covered
w ith a trickling stream which would
result in serious damage. lie asked
whether some provision could not be made
for the removal of that incongruous group
of statuary which stands at the entrance
of the grounds on Pennsylvania avenue.
"Sorrow,” said Mr. Ingalls, “is usually se
cluded. Men do not go into the market
place to weep for departed friends or iu
consequence of bereavement, and nations
never weep. So far as that group of stat
uary is concerned, it seems to me that it
should be removed at once to some adja
cent cemetery. It would be entirely ap
propriate upon some grassy plain,
by a still sheet ot water, surrounded by
weeping willows and other foliage that
indicates grief and melancholy occasions;
but to be placed at the very entrance of
the grounds of the capitol, surrounded by
fifteen-cent lodging houses and beer shops,
and amid the continuous din and uproar
of street cars and herdies and vehicles
going to and fro, with its snowy surface
continually covered with the dust of the
highway. 1 confess it has never ceased to
offend my sense of the decorous since it
was erected.”
This attack on a now famous Washing
ton eyesore was received with laughter.
Mr. Yoorhees suggested that the group
should be removed to the Soldiers’ Home.
Mr. Morrill, xvhile pointing out that this
was a matter outside the scope of the bill,
said the group was as much an eyesore to
him as to anybody else. It was placed
there at the solicitation of the Admiral ot
tho navy, lie would rather see a group
of a scalped Indian lassoing a buffalo
placed iu that prominent position than
the present funereal pile. The bill passed.
THRASHED THE WRONG MAN.
An Odd Sequel to an 111-Assorted Mar
riage in Orange County, N. Y.
An odd sequel to a strange marriage,
says a special from Goshen (N. Y.) to the
World , is reported from Middletown.
About two xveeks ago the 13 year old
daughter of Charles Godfrey, of that vil
lage, was married to William Strong, a
man many years her senior. The father
of the child had strongly opposed the
marriage, but the mother, who had herself
made tlie match, compelled its consum
mation in the face of the protest of the
local press and public opinion. Every
minister in Goshen was applied to
to perform the ceremony, but all
refused, and Rev. Mr. Clark, of Middle
town, finally married the ill-mated pair.
They live in apartments with Mrs. God
frey'. on the second floor of a building on
Main street, Middletown. Mr. and Mrs.
Godfrey have not lived together since the
marriage, but lie was found bleeding and
unconscious in the hallway at the foot of
the stairs leading to bis wife’s apartments
a few nights ago. He declined to give
any explanation of lioxv he received his
injuries, but the facts in the ease have
since been made public. It seems that
Godfrey bad been planning some means
of revenging himself on the man xvho had
married bis child, and one night last
week proceeded to carry out a plan
lie had formed. Engaging the services of
two stalwart negroes he went with them'
to the building on Main street. The pro
gramme was for the negroes to remain in
the dark hallway at the foot of the stairs.
Godfrey was to go up-stairs, knock at the
door of Strong’s apartment, and when he
opened the door to seize him and throw
him down stairs before he recovered from
his surprise. The men below were then
to fall upon him and beat him as they
chose. Godfrey went up-stairs and
knocked at the door, but instead of Strong
answering the knock Mrs. Godfrey came
to the door. Divining at once that God
frey xvas not there for any peaceful pur
pose she knocked or pushed him down
stairs. He fell cleat* to the bottom, and
the negroes in waiting, supposing God
ifey was Strong, carried out tneir part of
their employer nearly dead in the hall
way.

“Women are a necessary evil,” lie said,

ot a group of bucolic philosophers. He xvas
homely, slovenly and sixty.
“There’s where I differ from you altogether,”
said Mr. George T. Graham, of the same place
‘•Women arc mostly what meu make ’em.
When husbands are brutes wives will fall into
submission or make home hot for the men;
and they’re unnatural in either character.
Love them, aud especially be good to them
when they’re sick, and you’ll have no trouble.
There’s my own wife, now. She’s suffered a
good ileal with dyspepsia, nervous prostration
and other ailments that took the bloom off her
cheeks and the spring out of her steps. Well,
she saw an advertisement of Barker’s Tonic,
ami thought it would be just tlie thing for her
i'ii~i*. Gentlemen, I sent five miles after a
bottle. She took it. I sent again after more.
So several times. Trouble ? Wliy, if you could
see bow much good it lias done iier you would
say that women are the greatest of God’s
blessings, and Barker’s Tonic is the next.”
This preparat ion, w hich has been known as
Barker’s ginger Tonic, will hereafter lie
called simply Barker’s Tonic. This change
has been rendered necessary by substitutes im
pose* I upon their customers bv unprincipled
dealers under the name of ginger; ami as gin
