Henry George would not look very well
in the English Parliament. His ideas fit

The Texas “sporting men” are consid

introduced in the Legislature to make
gambling a felony. It is feared that if it

Wisconsin is evidently determined to go
slow on the prohibition question. Great
pressure has been brought to bear on the
Legislature, and the result is that a bill
has been introduced to prohibit the sale
of liquor within 300 feet of any church or
public school.
A Republican assassination society up
in Maine has had a dog belonging to Wil

need reconstructing.
The New Orleans I'tcayuue says the
report which is being circulated to the
effect that Mrs. Julia Ward Howe’s bug
gage was about to be seized for board is
disgraceful. It declares that Mrs. Howe
declined pecuniary compensation from
the exposition for her services.
It is stated that many pianists now
have the extensor muscles of the ring
finger of each hand cut in order to give
greater freedom of action, ft would be a

many alleged pianists had all the mus

The spirit of reform is abroad in the
land. The North Car i’ina House o( Rei>-
reseutalives bas passed a bill making it a
misdemeanor to sell or give cigarettes to
a boy under 10 years of age, and Massa
chusetts boys are hauled up in the pri
mary schools for chewing tobacco.
There seems to be a good deal of rejoic
ing nearly all over the Union that Capt.
Eads does not come in for the chief bene

From the recent shooting by Mrs. Dud
ley, and the tone of the threatening let

Kossa, Joyce and others of their kind,
there is little doubt that the English
cranks are likely to give the dynamiters
a good deal more trouble than do the Eng
lish detectives.
Now that it has been settled that the
grand banquet at the inauguration Is to
cost only $1 per plate, the people begin
to believe that an era of Democratic sim
plicity is really about to begin. If Presi

dollar dinners ho would not have been
forced to slight so many triends at his
receptions.
A scheme is on foot in Philadelphia do
provide free public baths for the people
in the Schuylkill river during the sum
mer season. There is a great deal being
printed about cleanliness in that city.
From what has been said about the tilthy
condition of Schuylkill water, it would
hardly be safe for a person to bathe in it
who desires to be clean.
The health authorities of Tennessee
have their hands full on account of an
epidemic of small-pox in Obion county,
of that Mate. A Urge number of cases
are reported to exist there, and the dis

The question of vaccination will no doubt
soon occupy a large share of the atten

The report is again being circulated
that the Tichborne claimant is consider
ing a proposition to come over to America
and exhibit himself In a dime museum.
It is said that a very large salary has
been offered him. No doubt there are
many thousands of silly people in this
country who would spend a dime and
waste an hour’s time to satisfy their idle
curiosity by looking at him or any other
very notorious perjurer. It is to be
hoi*ed that his tieket-of-loave will not
permit him to accept the proposition.
It has been whispered around New
York that the Nicaragua canal schemers
intended if the treaty had been ratified
to organize a “construction com
pany,” the President of which was to be
a gentleman who is now a very high offi
cial and who is to retire on March I, and
that his salary was to be $23,000 a year.
Manv people will wonder if any very high
official was influenced by personal mo
tives to be an earnest advocate of tha
treaty. Whisperings, however, are rarely
to be relied on. The De Lcsseps people
may have started them.
The grand Bruns .k Hotel in New
York is 6aid to have lost cast*, and had
its downfall precipitated because Billy
McGlory and a crowd of toughs were al
lowed the use of the ballroom, and had
a tine supper in it last year, fae pro
prietor, Mr. Kinzler, offered McGlory
SIO,OOO to remove the party before it
had fairly entered the house, but Mc-
Glory refused, and the palace hotel
was the scene of a wild time from
2 to 7a. m. The story leaked out. and
the house was doomed. It has never re
covered the tone possessed by it previous
to that time.
The British steamer Barrowmore, which
arrived at Baltimore Irom Liverpool,
Thursday, brought over quite a number
of deadheads who were not provided with
passes. The Captain reported that when
two days out he saw something like an
o'd-time chimney-sweep creep out of a
coal bunker. The object turned out to be
a 10-year-old urchin, who, when question
ed, said: “Hi want to go to Hwmerica and
hi ham ungry.” Just then another head
peeped from the coal hunker and its
owner piped: Hi’m ungry, too,” and so it
continued till ten young John Bulls had
appeared. The boys are being detained

The Prohibition Movement in Geor
gia.
We scarcely feel the prohibition move
ment in this city. Tnere are portion* of
the State, however, where it is causing a
great deal of excitement. It is guided
by strong ratn. who are deeply in earnest.
Tie Legislature may refuse to P‘ ec
general local option bill, by* its refusal
will not check the prohibition movement.
Every county that becomes a prohibition
county increases the strength of the pro
hibition movement.
Now that the general government i9 in
possession of the Democrats, and the peo
ple feel that they need not let political
considerations hamper them, it would not
be surprising if the prohibition movement
in this State should become more promi
nent than ever.
It is not improbable that in local, and
even in State matters, the prohibition
1 question may play a very important pai t.
Prohibitionists are the kind ot people
who never appear to get tired of trying to
have things as they want them. They
are so confident that they are right that
they desire to convert everybody to their
views. They want their friends and
neighbors to share with them the good
there is in prohibition.
There are reasons why the prohibition
movement finds strong friends in all parts
of the state. A comparison between the
prohibition and anti-prohibition counties
furnishes strong arguments in favor of
prohibition. There is an appearance of
thrift and prosperity in the prohibition
counties, and an absence of crime that
. are not, as a rule, found in other counties,
j Where there are no dram shops the people
are characterized by a hopefulness and
cheerfulness and an air of contentment
and comfort not found elsewhere.
The prohibition movement is well worth
watching in this State. It hasn’t run its
course yet. Indeed, it is sale to assume
that it hasn’t attained its full growth.
It got a black eye, as it were, in Floyd
county last week, but incidents like that
do not seem to check it.
Compulsory Education.
The subject of compulsory education is
receiving its periodical discussion. In
fact, the Legislatures ot several States
are considering the advisability of testing
the system. The usual array of facts and
igures relating to illiteracy and crime is
being produced, and it is confidently as
serted that had the education ot children
been compulsory tor the past fifty years
the country would have been saved hun
dreds of millions of dollars which have
been expended in attempting to enforce
our criminal laws, not to speak of the
advantages, moral and material, that
would have sprung from the almost uni
versal intelligence ot the people.
At least two States have compulsory
education laws—New Hampshire and
Michigan. In the former each parent or
guaidian is required to send his child or
ward to sehool 12 weeks in each year, six
of which must be continuous, under pen
alty of a tine of from $lO to S2O. The
Michigan law is substantially the same.
In the former State the law has been
in operation for a considerable time,
and judging from the statistics of crime,
the results have been favorable, though
not as iavorable, perhaps, as the friends
of the system could desire. In Michigan
the system has not been in operation long
enough for its effects to be very notice
able. In fact, the law in that State
does not seem to be very rigidly enforced.
There arc. according to the last census,
over 5.000.000 children in the United
States who never attend school. Avery
large proportion of these, now growing
up in ignorance, are destined to be elec
tors, whose influence on the future gov
ernment ot the country will be very great.
How many thousand may be enumerated
in the criminal classes of the future may
be easily estimated from the observa.
tions of the past. It is useless, how
ever, to undertake to show the importance
of education.
The question of the advisability and
practicability of compulsory education is
a momentous one. There is a vague
s.-ntiment that a compulsory education
law would be an encroachment on the
uatm al rights of the citizen. This senti
ment. however, should not overweigh the
regard for the future welfare of many
millions of people. The practicability of
such a law is a local question. Compul
sory education must always be preceded
bv a thorough voluntary public sehool
system. Several States are now in a
condition to inaugurate and enforce the
compulsory system. Georgia will proba
bly have to wait a good many years be
fore it will be practicable all over the
State.
The day is coming when it will be
considered no more the right of a
parent or guardian to withhold mental
pabulum from a child than to deny it food
and clothing. There are some now living
who cannot see the right in taxing one
man to educate the children of another,
but this class will one day be extinct. It
may be a deeade before a thorough public
sehool system will be in operation in this
State, but in all probability it will not bo
two decades before compulsory education
will be established and enforced not only
in Georgia but in every part of the
country.
Indians as Voters.
Gen. Crook has written a letter which
may have great influence in determining
the future policy of the United States
Government concerning the Indians. He
comes out squarely in favor of Indian suf
frage. He says that, in his opinion, it
will be best for the Indians and for the
future peace and prosperity of the great
West to confer on the Indians the privi
leges and responsibilities of citizenship.
Gen. Crook has been among the so
called wild Indians of the far West for
a great many years. He has observed
the worst as well as the best phases of
their character, and has been very suc
cessful in dealing with them both in
peace and in war. His opinion is there
fore entitled to great weight. In one re
spect his letter is a revelation, especially
so to *he people of the States east of the
Missouri river. He says the great major
ity of Indians are not lazy and shift
less as is generally supposed, but are able
and willing to work when fairly treated.
He says, however, that they have been
shamefully maltreated, cheated and
abused, not only by agents but by many
settlers in the neighborhood of the reser
vations.
He thinks the enfranchisement of the
Indians would tend to elevate and dignify
them, and would give them power to de
fend themselves under the forms of the
law. It is possible that some of the
tribes are better qualified for citizenship
than were the negroes just after the war.
Several tribes may be classed as civil
ized, aud the young ol nearly all the
tribes are making astonishing progress in
education of a very practical kina.
The present Indian policy must sooner
or later come to an end, and probably
within the next decade the rights of citi
zenship will be conferred on them, and
the ballot given them with, perhaps, some
very necessary restrictions. The Chero
kees, the Choctaws and the Creeks show
comparatively few traces of the savage.
Th Montreal people boast that their
city is bound to be the winter resort of
the future, and predicts that next winter
the Florida hotel keepers will be wring
ing their hands. The mortuary returns
from the ice carnival visitors have not
yet couie in. Montreal may be a safe
retreat for people of the Eno aud Mandel
baum class, who find the United States
too hot to hold them, but it can no more
claim a delightful winter climate than
can Atlanta. It has one advantage over
the latter place. One can walk better
with snow shoes on snow than in mud.
Kentuckians were very much surprised
to learn from an anonymous telegram to
several Northern Republican newspapers
that over $2,000,000 have b?en stolen by
the officials ot that State during the last
ten or fifteen years. It seems that the
talented campaign romancers can yet get
in a little work once in a while.
A society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals has been organized in New
Orleans. Man is an aminal, but it is not

A late number of the Engineering and
Mining Journal gives an account of a
novel and important apprenticeship sys
tem which is about to be inaugurated by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. It has
been determined by the management of
the road to establish at Mountclare, Bal
timore, in connection with the rail
road shops, a school the object of which
is to combine technical education with
the practical training of apprentices
in such a manner as not only to greatly
benefit the apprentices themselves, but to
provide the road in the future with a very
superior class of employes. A four years
course is provided for, aud all the
expense is borne by the company, and, in
addition, the apprentices are to be paid
70 cents per day the first year, 80 cents
the second, 90 cents the third and $1 in
the fourth. In the second, or higher
course, the pupils are designated cadets,
and are to be paid $1 per day for the first
year, $1 12J4 the second and $1 25 the
third. The members of the third class are
designated cadet officers and are to be
paid $1 50 per day the first year, $1 75 the
the second and $2 the third.
In making appointments preference is
to be given to the sous of employes.
Rigid examinations are to be provided
for, and competent men are engaged in
mapping out a course of instruction for
each class or grade and in urafting rules
for discipline.
The determination to establish such a
system isone for which the managers of the
road can not be too highly commended.
When the school opens a class of boys will
beenabled to receive a technical education
while learning trades who could not pos
sibly obtain similar instruction else
where. Not only this, but those who ac
quit themselves with credit will be en
abled to obtain situations at onoe either
on this road or others. The future ser
vice of the road cannot fail to be greatly
improved by this system, and it cannot
be doubted that other roads and large
manufacturing establishments will in
augurate similar systems as soon as the
success and usefulness of this one shall
be assured. The progress of this enter
prise will be watched with interest.
CUItKENT COMMENT.
The Hollar Hard to Get.
Bouton Post (Dem.)
They can get more for a dollar than they
could in 1860, but it ;s twice as hard to get the
dollar. The tariff has been robbing him of
the dollar until he has uone to buy with,
therefore the producer mail keep inn goods,
and cutting down hi* help only adds to the
time that lie must keep them. He is killing the
goose that laid the golden egg.
Some Real Rebels Found.
Cincinnati Times-Star (Rep.)
It ought not to be a difficult matter to make
out a case of conspiracy against the United
States on the part of the “boomers” recently
arrested in the Indian Territory. They en
tered upon the Oklahoma lauds in violation
of law and in defiance of the government.
They were banded together to resist the
Federal authority. These adventurers have
been guilty, beyond u doubt, of organizing an
armed rebellion against the United States,
Revision for the People.
Washington Post (Pern.)
l’rof. Sumner docs not consider the success
of the Democratic party “exactly a free trade
victory.” That is, it is not altogether such a
victory as a pronounced free trader would
like to see. That it is in the interest of greater
freedom of trade than would have been the
success of a party pledged to the maintenance
of a high protective tariff nobody can ques
tion. and the ultimate fruits of such a victory
will Ixi a revision or the tariff in the interest
of the people, and not at the dictation of the
monopolists.
The Curses ot a High TarltV.
Louisville Courier-Journal ( Dem.)
The part of wisdom is to reduce the tariff
just as we would tunnel a mountain. It is
idle to spend millions for a commercial navy
and at the'same time to put an embargo on
international exchange. The whole idea or
the tariff' is that of restriction; it is antago
nistic to all tlie tendencies of the times; it is
opiHjsed to the work doing to-day in all
brunches of industry. It augments the ex
penses of life, deprives the multitude of many
of its well-earned comforts, increases the
hours of labor, makes employment uncertain
and wages unsafe. A modification of the
tariff' is demanded alike by national interests
and by industrial necessities.

The pearl oyster fishing season closed at
Ceylon in October. The fishery occupied
twenty days, and on account of bad weather
the fishing was very difficult. The oysters
taken off Chilaw numbered 636,000, of which
614,000 were taken to Colombo and put up at
auction, and brought S2O per 1,000. This wj.b
a decided increase over the sale in April,
wtien the bids only reached sl2 50. Of the
total sum realized one-third goes to thedivers,
the remaining being the government's share,
which, however, has to pay the expenses of
the fishery, of about $2,500. The Chilaw fish
ing banks alone have yielded the government
a net revenue during the first year of $12,500.
The last number of the London World con
tains as a “Celebrity at Home” a sketch of
Mr. Moreton Frcwcu, who is well known in
New York as the son-in-law of Mr. Leonard
Jerome aud qwner of the Home Rancho on the
Powder river. Not far away from the Home
ranclie —according to the measure of a place
from which the nearest railway station is 220
miles distant—are the spots in which Gen.
Mackenzie fought the last great Indian light;
ami a little further, on the verge of Mr.
Frcwen’s range, is the fatal spot in the Little
Horn Hills where Gen. Custer and his com
mand were cut up by the Sioux. On the
prairie, some 50 yards from the house, is the
grave of a soldier, “A. Warren,” who was
shot by Indians and buried where he fell.
Madison, Wis., had a tremor on Friday
last whicli was due not to a social or other
earthquake, nor yet to a dynamite explosion.
A disturbance which shook the university
buildings was caused by the contraction and
expansion of ice in Lake Mendota. Under
the influence of intense cold the ice had ex
panded until the shores could resist the pres
sure no longer, when the ice hurst and doubled
up about 400 feet from the shore, and on a line
parallel with it. Tho sudden release of the
shore* from pi essure caused the tremor. This
phenomenon of freezing upon bodies of water
paving low shores frequently results in the
piling up of huge roeks on the edge and the
overturning of trees. The short line of lakes
frequently consist of gravel mounds forced
up during successive winters.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader says: “Miss Susan B. An
thony is looking well. She seems to grow
younger as her years pile up. She is now
64 years old, and her face is no more wrinkled
than when she was 50. Her hair has a few
gray strands mixed with its black, and she
combs it down over her ears in an artistic
curve and winds it up into a good-sized
waterfall at the back. Her complexion is
dark, her face thin, and its features more like
those of a man than a woman. She has kindly
blue eyes, a large mouth, and a pleasant voice.
She talks easily and is an accomplished con
versationalist. She is enjoying good health,
and puts in her full share qf work every day,
writing letters, seeing Congressmen and Sena
tors and pushing her movement in every shape
and form.”
The Washington corresi>ondent of tho Cleve
land Leader tells tins story of ex-Treasurer
Spinner: “When he was in the House it was
said that he did all the ‘cussing’ for the popu
lar branch of Congress, while old Ben Wade
tilled a like position in the Senate. On one
occasion, after Spinner had been appointed
United States Treasurer, lie met Mrs. Wade,
wife of ‘Old Ben,’ on the street one day.
‘How is the Senator?’ inquired tho Treasurer.
•He is not getting along well at all,’ replied
his wife. -How is that?’ asked Spinner, ‘I
have not heard that he was ill.’ ‘Oh, he is
not exactly ill,' Mrs. Waderesponded, ‘but lie
iB completely worked out. Tou see, when
you were in the House the labor was divided,
and Ben could occasionally get some rest.
Now, however, as you are not there, lie lias to
do ali the swearing for both branches of Con
gress, and it’s wearing on him rapidly.’ ”
Apropos of doctors, the English profession
al journals have beep telling w-onderful stories
aliout the fees of Euglish physicians. The

Dr. Redcliffe used to make an average annual
income of $35,000 a,ycar, and L‘r. BaUUe $50,-

' Vanderbilt is determined that his sons-in
law shall become business men. As soon as
young Twombley married his daughter he
gave him the loading and unloading the
freight in New York. This is really an ex
tensive department in the railway system,
and requires a large force of clerks and la
ljorers, and also a number of steamers and
barges. The profit from this specialty is es
timated at $20,000 a year, and this puts
Twombley on an independent basis. The two
other sons-in-law (Shepard and Sloan) are
both able and prosperous men, the former
having a lucrative law practice, while the
latter is one of the most extensive carpet
dealers in the country. Dr. Seward Webb,

He hither came in gorgeous style—
With spotless shirt and standing collar;
Within a week he’d spent his pile
And tried to borrow half a dollar!
I interviewed him yester eve
And heard him sav the town was rotten —
Withal, he had no time to grieve,
For he’d a job at loading cotton!

NEW ORLEANS HOSPITALITY.
Scenes and Incidents Seen by a Northern
Correspondent In the Crescent City,
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press writes from New Orleans as fol
lows : Such people, people of culture and
refinement and luxurious tastes, widows
and daughters of the gray-coated officers
who fell at Shiloh and Gettysburg, are to
be found in their quaint old drawing
rooms all over the city, aud it is libelous
to say that you “board” with them. You
don’t. For a trifling consideration ol $lO
or sls weekly you are their honored guest,
you conform to their ethics of deportment,
toast your toes on chilly evenings before
their anthracite, and listen by the hour
to their delightful reminiscences of “war
times.” At the bureau we receive a list
oi names, addresses and prices, and re
sume our experiments in perpetual mo
tion and our interested gaze out of the
windows.
In this part of the city there are few
traces of French or Spanish occupation.
The old world part of New Orleans lies
below Canal street, and differs from the
American portion, even as Max O’Kell’s
city differs from John Bull’s. Many Cre
oles live in that quarter to-day who have
never crossed the boundary line that sep
arates it from the barbarous Americains.
A visit to Paris is still considered an in
dispensable factor in Mademoiselle’s edu
cation, and intercourse with the mother
country is so close that some Louisiana
French is perfectly Parisian. The young
ladies still go veiled, still study the side
walk, are still accompanied by their
maids. They are beautiful or the reverse,
seldom passable. The men are little,
dark and demonstrative. Approach two
oi them in conversation on the street cor
ner and your impression is that an affair
of life and death is under discussion.
That impassioned appeal, in which hands,
feet, eyes and tongue so eloquently assist
—what vital question is at stake? The
extreme probability—that Monsieur will
change his tailoi!
But, through home and hotel, in the
street and the club, behind the counter
and - the stall, the spirit of the country is
abroad and afloat. Youth gives instant
preference to gray hairs, and it is ac
cepted with old-time grace; that a lady
should stand while there Is a masculine
occupant ol a seat is simply unheard of;
the negro who passes your car fare raises
his cap as he receives it; you are assisted
into cars and out of them, and a thousand
and one little unobtrusive acts of consid
eration make the stranger from the land
of snow teel the warmth of kindly na
tures, as well as of 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
There is no Western curiosity, no
Eastern self-consciousness, no North
ern reserve. People address you, and
you are verbally caressed. You could not
escape from this balmy influence if you
wanted to, and you don’t want to. On the
contrary, you rejoice the more you are
affected' by it. Of course, pleasant quar
ters are not to be found without looking.
Occasionally your would-be landlady con
fronts you with draggled petticoats and a
smudge of powder on either cheek. The
powder is almost always there, by the
way; the difference lies in the art ot ap
plying it and the accompanying costame.
Cracked walls, leaky ceilings and dilapi
dated furniture are sometimes submitted
to your disapproval, and frequently the
accommodation is in inverse ratio to the
price.
But patience and the industrious mule
will finally bring you your heart’s desire
in the shape of high ceilings and painted
walls, big four posters and portraits of
venerable gentlemen in queues, elaborate
dinners and charming society; and you
will And it all in a roomy, old-fashioned
house with a wide-pillared veranda and
broad steps, magnolias on each side and
honeysuckle fill over. Oranges will hang
within tempting reach of your chamber
window, broad-leaved branches will make
you stately obeisance through It, and at
night the sound of the crickets will lull
you to sleep as it does at home in June.

BRAVE SFVATU”
~e was Not Born t-o be Scared by a Billy
Goat.
There is an element of superstition,
says James R. Randall in his Washington
letter to the Augusta Chronicle, in all
mankind. In most cases Senator Ran
som. of North Carolina, bas very clear,
cogent and practical ideas, but he lost his
balance once. His house burned down,
not so very long ago, nothing remaining
but the chimneys and some charred beams
around them, except a fragile stairway.
The Senator and his family removed to
another residence, a short distance from
the old home, and in full, melancholy
view or it. One night, when the moon was
young and feeble, the negroes on the
place ran affrighted to the Senator and
told him that they had seen ghosts walk
ing on the top of the burned dwelling, or
rather darting swiftly all about it ! Their
terror was genuine, and did not abate
when he laughed at their story,
and proceeded, in his ‘vivid, diplo
matic way, to demonstrate that
hobgoblins were mere projections of
a disturbed aud fauciful stomach. He
was begged to come out and see for him
self. Yielding to entreaty, he stepped
outside and looked toward the ruin. The
long chimney stood gaunt anil forlorn.
The blackened rafters were discerned
cobweb-like against the misty horizon.
But no sig* of life or motion could be de
tected. Soon, however, a wild chorus of
prayerful and tearful ejaculation came
from the negroes, interspersed with
muffled cries ot “Look dar, Mas’r Mat!
Look dar!” The General, who had faced
bullets and Congressmen, nowise daunted,
cast a sharp glance as directed towards
the skeleton of the house. He was
amazed to see white, spectral
quik-flashing phantoms chasing each
other over the chimney and along the
remnant of the roof. A cold chill invaded
his spinal marrow, but pulling himself
together, he said: “Let us all go together
and find out what it is.” The negroes
would not budge. Finally, the General
said: “If you are too cowardly to go
there, I will go by myself.” The negroes
took hold of him with affectionate violence
and implored him to remain. Disen
gaging himself, he stated to them tnat be
would penetrate the mystery if he died in
the attempt. He confessed afterwards
that his heart beat tumultuously in his
breast and gooseflesh grew on his back
bone, but nothing could have obstructed
him short of dissolution. He
marched to the haunted house in
trepidly, but with more misgivings
than he ever had experienced when re-,
ceiving the onset ot mortal foeman in the
ranks of war. The apparitions continued
to scamper about, and appeared to as
sume gigantic proportions. He remem
bered Booth’s “Hamlet,” and all the
weird stories of his boyhood with start
ling perspicacity. He began to see all
his sins in their processional enormity.
God never before seemefi so majestic, and
virtue so real and attractive. Finally,
with big beads of sweat on his brow and
his brain in a whirl, he reached a spot
very close to the spectral house and
awaited further developments. All was
still. He picked ap a stone and sent it
crashing among the splinters of the roof.
Then there was a mighty rush of most
substantial figures, and down from
the giddy eminence poured a column of
goats, led by a venerable and ill-smelling
Billy! There was an instantaneous re
action upon the General’s part, and he
laughed until his sides ached. Going
back to the terrified gentlemen of African
deicent,he rallied them boisterously upon
their ridiculous [fears and abject craven
ness, ending with the injunction that
when they started any more ghosts, to
give him the contract oi dispersing them,
as he was “born insensible to fear, and
would eat the Witch of Endor on toast, if
parboiled and well-flavored.”
FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Another Candidate in the Field.
Ex-Judge Hunger, says a Washington
special, the New York lawyer who has
undertaken to work up a boom for A. J.
Vanderpoel, of New Y'ork, for Attorney
General in Mr. Cleveland’s Cabinet, is
wasting no time in his labors among Sen
ators and Representatives. It is said that
he has already succeeded in securing the
promise of support for Mr. Vanderpoel
from a majority of the New York city
Congressmen, and has other Representa
tives from the State upon his list.
Judge Hunger is also taking all the
advantage tie can of the opposition
to Senator Garland for the Attor
ney Generalship, and Mr. Vanderpoel’s
friends assert that he is meeting with
some success in his missionary labors
among the Southern men in Congress,
who regard Mr. Garland as “a loose con
structionist” of the constitution. Mr.
Vanderpoel is understood here as having
been brought forward for a Cabinet posi
tion by various memliers oi the bar in
New York. Judge Hunger, who is en
thusiastic in his mission, claims to be
free from entanglements with any of the
Democratic factions in the metropolis.
He is, he says, a Cleveland Democrat,
and as such is seeking the Attorney Gen
eralship for Mr. Vanderpoel,
lie Thought It Would Do.
Chicago Herald.
“I want a divorce from my wife,” said
a VVashlngton street broker to his at
torney, “but I don’t know how to be
gin it.”
‘ Any ground for scandal?” asked the
attorney.
“No; oh, no.”
“Did she ever hit you ?”
“No: her temper is quite even.”
“Did she ever blow out the gas?”
“No—she lets it burn. Maybe that
would be grounds,eh?”
“No,” said the attorney. “In that case
she would call to her aid the gas company,
and we would have to struggle with a
monopoly. That wouldn’t do.”
“No,” said the applicant, sadly.
“Did she ever scald any of 'the chil
dren?” asked the attorney, brightening
up.
“Haven’t got any to scald. I suppose
it wouldn’t do to say she scalded the chil
dren of the next door neighbor?’’
“No.”
“Then I don’t know what to do or say.”
“Then both men looked thoughtfully
out of the window for nearly seven min
utes.
“She drank out of the finger bowl at the
hotel when we was on aur bridal t*ur,”
said the husband, hesitatingly.
“If you get the date aud witnesses,”
said the lawyer, quickly. “I think that
will be sufficient—under our law.”
Then they went out together and called
lor two schooners of beer.

MONDS, WATCHES and JEWELRY of all kinds, far superior to anv ever seen in this city

pose of their wares at almost the actual cost of the Gold, anu, in consequence, I feel gratified
in saying that I have not only the NEWEST STYLES, but the CHEAPEST GOODS IN SA
VANNAH. and, as I am willing to part with them at a small advance on cost, I consider it a
rare opportunity for the purchase of goods in my line—an opportunity that will not occur
