NOT RE IDY FOR A CHANGE
GEN. Mi I.AUNPREPARED TO
DELIVER IP HIS OFFICE.
Col. Wilson with His Deputy and Clerks
Walks in to Assume Control—Why
OeD. McLain was Not Ready—The
Change to Take Piacs This Afternoon.
The ppst office officials and clerks in
the money order and registry depart
ments were the witnesses of a little scene
last night that the outside public and
very few of the employes of the other de
partments knew anything about. A few
minutes after 6 o’clock Col. A. N\ Wilson,
armed with bis commission as Postmaster
and accompanied by his deputy and
two clerks, climbed up the steps to the
post office building. It was after office
hours and the money order, registry and
stamp departments were closed. The
clerks inside were busy balancing the
day’s cash and winding up the business
of the week.
it was understood that Col. Wilson
would take charge of the office at C
o’clock, and a few spectators gathered to
6ee how it was doDe. After rap
ping on the doors for some
time without receiving a response,
one of the clerks was sent trrsee it the
entrance to the mailing and delivery de
partments on the lower floor was open.
He returned in a few minutes saying that
it vras. Going around the building Col.
Wilson walked in through the mailing
room ar.d up-stairs to the money order
department. Gen. McLaws was busy at
his desk when Col. Wilson stepped up
and presenting his commission, an
nounced that he was ready to assume con
trol of the office.
‘•lt is wholly impracticable for me to
turn over the office to-night,” was the
reply.
“But this is the upon,” said
Col. Wilson.
“No, sir; it is not,” replied the General.
Upon the receipt of bis commission on
Friday morning Col. Wilson notified Gen.
McLaws that he was ready to take charge
of the office, and asked him to fix a time
as early as possible when the transfer
could be made. Gen McLaws sent word
back that be would be ready at G
o’clock last night. Col. Wilson made
his arrangements to assume control at
that time. Afterwards, finding that he
could not conveniently turn over the office
until after the closing of business, Gen.
McLaws announced that he would not bo
ready to deliver up the office until to-day.
Col, Wilson objected to this on the ground
that Sunday was not the proper day for the
transaction of business that could be
done as well on another day. Gen. Mc-
Laws then telegraphed the Post Office
Department in regard to the matter, and
a dispatch was received yesterday saying
that there could be no objection to the
change taking place on Sunday so far as
the department was concerned. He noti
fied Col. Wilson of the opiniou of the
Postmaster General, but having ar
ranged to take charge of the
office last night the latter
was not disposed to delay matters, and
with his deputy and clerk’s was ou hand
according to the first agreement.
Col. Wilson afterward proposed to
take charge of the office on Monday morn
ing and receipt for the amount on Land
at that time, giving his predecessor an
opportunity to close up his affairs. It
was finally arranged that the transfer
should take place at 3 o’clock this after
noon.
State
OF
Weather.
The changes in the office will
be the same as announced in
the Sews last week. I). B. Hull will
succeed John McLaws as Deputy Post
master; J’. A. Waring will be made
Money Order Clerk, to succeed James W.
Burke. John F. Rowland, the present
Stamp Clerk, will be promoted to
the Registry Department, and
John A. Goette, tormerly in the revenue
office, will be stamp clerk and assistant
in the money order department. Mr.
Rowland will be the only one retained up
stairs. In the mailing 'and delivery de
partment there will be no changes
to-day. William Coolidge will re
main in i harge of the' carriers’
delivery, and Win, Cantwell chief of the
mailing department. Mr. Cantwell will,
however, be succeeded at an early day by
Charles Greene, at present assistant
clerk. There will be no change in the
carriers at present. To-morrow
Cbas. L. DoLamotta will be made general
delivery clerk, and Edward Robinson will
succeed George F. Tyson as janitor.
A number of other changes are likely
to be made, but just what they are Col.
Wilson is not yet prepared to say.

The charges of unofficial conduct in the
affairs of the Southern Judicial District
of Georgia, recently made, were still the
subject of comment at the custom house
yesterday. The conduct of John It. Has
kins, late Commissioner at Maeou, was
erenerally discussed, and it is evident that
he has Placed himself in a position from
which it will be nai-J f° r b ,m escape
without becoming seriously entangled.
It is likely that his official conduct In tae
several positions he has held will be thor
oughly investigated at the next term oi'

is also Postmaster at Brunswick, and who
is included in the list of those against
whom it is said charges have been pre

has held the office his total receipts, he
says, have only been S6O. Mr. Dunn em
phatically denies the charge as far as his
office is concerned.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
The “Nathan Hall Cattle Company” In
corporated in Savannah Yesterday.
Among the business which came before
the Superior Court yesterday was the pre
sentation of a petition for the incorpora
tion of “The Nathan Hall Cattle Com
pany.” This application was made by
Messrs. Denmark <fc Adams as aitornys
representing J. B. Duckworth, John h'la’n
nery, H. M. Comer, E. T. Comer, of Sa
vannah; Andrew J. Coe, of Meriden,
Conn., and Nathan Hall, of Socoro,
N. M. The objects of the company are
to “raise, buy, sell and generally ueal in
live stock, and to rent, lease and
purchase lands tor the uses of
the company in this State.” The
capital stock of the corporation is $75,000,
with the privilege of increasing to $500,-
000. The petitioners state that the office
of the company will be located in Savan
nah. The petitiou was ordered to be filed
and recorded in the records of the court,
and, after publication, will, at the end of
30 days, be passed upon by Judge Adams,
as is customary in all petitions for incor
poration.
The company proposes to commence
business by starting a cattle ranch in
New Mexico, and have already secured
land tor that purpose. Mr. Hall is now
engaged in purchasing cattle in the West,
and will manage the ranch there. The
principle office of the company will be in
Savannah, because a majority of the
stockholders live here. There is a remote
possibility that Its operations may some
day be extended to this State, but no move
ment looking to that result is now in con
templation.

Something About the Lime Trade.
Lime is an important item in all build
ing operations, and its production is a
more extensive industry than most people
think. It is so important that the manu
facturers in the South have formed an as
sociation called the Southern Lime As
sociation. This organization is now in
session at Atlanta. It has been stated
that the object of the meeting is to ad
vance the price of lime, but the statement
was denied by a prominent Savannah
dealer yesterday. He said he did not
know what might be tho result of the
meeting, but he was confident that
nothing of the kind was contemplated.
The same gentleman stated that the de
mand for lime is not brisk now, and is not
likely to improve unless there is more
building.
The total consumption in Savannah is
about 15 carloads a month. About all
the lime consumed here comes from North
Georgia and Alabama. A car will hold
120 barrels of Georgia lime and 150 of Ala
bama, making the monthly consumption
of lime here about 2,025 barrels.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Four cars of a freight train on the
Charleston and Savannah Railroad were
derailed near Yemassee Friday night, i
blocking the tracks for about 5 hours.
The accident was caused by the breaking
of a flange on the wheel’of one of the 1
freight cars. The damage was blight.
Parties who propose to attend the Presi
dential inauguration at Washington are
offered reduced rates via the Central Rail
road. Round trip tickets for civilians
are on sale for $25 45 and for military at
$lB 45. These tickets will be good to re
turn on until March 10. Inlormation will
be given at the Central Railroad ticket
office, No. 20 Bull street.
The Buena_ Vista Railroad is completed
to Buena Vista. The last spike was
driven by Mr. M. Hare, one of the di
rectors, last Saturday, and toe passenger
train on the same day ran to that place.
It now makes two trips from Buena Vista
to Andersonville. Only half fare was
charged last week, and the company had
to borrow an extra coach from the Cen
tral to accommodate toe passengers. The
people of Bueua Vista are wild with ex
citement. They crowd around the depot
when the locomotive comes in.
The rate war on the Chattahoochee be
tween the boats ot the different lines, says
the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, is getting to
be interesting, at least to snippers. The
extreme low rates now charged by the
boats is unprecedented and can benefit no
one but shippers. In fact, they are too
low, for the boats are certainly doing the
business at a heavy loss. This ought not
to be the case. The public are willing to
pay reasonable rates, but thev are not
disposed to complain: if the boats can
stand it they can. Another cut in rates
went into effect Friday. The Central and
People’s line gave notice that on and after
that day they would carry cotton for 10
cents a bale, flour for 5 cents a barrel,
fertilizers at 40 cents a ton, cotton seed
meal at 40 cents a ton, and all other
freight in the same proportion to anv point
on the Chattahoochee and Apalachicola
rivers. How long these low rates will
continue in force we cannot venture an
opinion. The war will no doubt be a live
ly one belore it ends.

beaks and claws.
Brown is to be the ultra-fashionable
color this spring.
Chestnut and mushroom arc the new
fashionable colors.
Violet ink is agaiu in use by those who
like the latest elegancies.
Chatelaine watches ot black enamel
with silver ornaments are worn in halt
mourning.
Long ecru gloves are as fashionable as
ever. They are worn with white, black
and colors.
Pillow cases with a wide cambric ruffle
edged with fine torchon lace are very
pretty and dressy.
The silver vinaigrette has a pretty little
plush bag on a chatelaine chain to sus
pend it to the belt.
Table linen as well a3 bed linen is per
fumed by little bags of dried lavender,
alter the ancient custom.
Girdles made of jetw>rk or heavy pas
sementerie, ending in ioug beaded tassels,
are worn with black dresses.
Dark greens and grayish blues are much
worn, and are very becoming to a rosy
complexion that is clear, whether dark or
fair.
Long, white plush cloaks are fashion
able for infants. The cream-white is en
tirely worn, and the lining is of quilted
satin.
Little white silk socks aDd blue kid
satin slippers with painted toes are
among the newest fancies in babies’ foot
wear.
(juaint baby frocks for children two
years old have Josephine waists, with the
waistbeit up underneath the arms, and
a full sash in the back.
Bright cretonnes and morris cottons of
large designs are used for bed coverings
and pillow shams, and may be finished
with lace or ribbon of tbe same.
Satin mervelieux is still used exten
sively. Many rich, quiet costumes are
made of it trimmed with plain velvet, par
ticularly in steel gray and brown shades.
In Paris the old-time gown made with a
(lemi-train, which is looped eti pouf for
street wear and worn long in the house,
is revived. It is made of cloth or velve
teen.
Dark brown and deep red is a favorite
combination and one which is very be
coming, while a careful combination ot
green and brown is always extremely ele
gant.
Small puff’s of black velvet, moire, or
satin ribbon, with a small aigrette, are
very fashionable ior the hair at the opera,
and are placed a little to the left side, in
front.
Black silk hose and slippers are worn
with any toilet, or the hose may match
the chief color used in the costume and '
the slippers can be made of a piece of the j
fabiic.

spring suits are quantities of those fine
whipcord diagonals that were in greater
demand than could be supplied last sum
mer and fail.
A ruby cashmere toilet has a plaited
skirt. The overskirt is pointed in front
and draped full in the back, and is
trimmed with cream lace. The blouse

bronze buckle.
The prettiest house jackets are of pale
blue, io9eor poppy-red satin surah, laid
in pleats down the'middle ol the front and
back, and trimmed on the entire edge
and fronts with gathered black thread
lace. A sash belt of red velvet is worn
with these, or it may be merely in front.
Very splendid are some of the newest
mantles. A short one with moderate ends
in front is made of black velvet, trimmed

back and sides. Another similar shape
in plush is elaborately trimmed with che
nille fringe.
New tailor-made jackets are quite short,
with straight round basques about six or
seven inches in depth. A few are made
perfectly plain, but the majority are elab
orately braided or trimmed with Astrak
han or marabout. Tailor-made dresses
are lighter in weight than formerly. A
pretty design has a perfectly plain skirt,
the only relief to the simplicity of which
lies in a trimming at the edge of diagonal
rows of braid. Another has the usual
close kilt plaitings intersected by long
cloth panels tastefully braided.
Something Interesting to Every Gentle
man.
Since we nave opened our Gentlemen’s
Furnishing Department it has gradually
grown, until now it is one of the leading
teatures of our establishment. Neither
patience nor expense has been spared to
make it what it is to-day—a grand suc
cess. This has been brought about by
selling the goods at prices that placed us
beyond competition, and by keeping a
stock of goods which comprises every
thing known in the furnishing line. Our
Linen —all-the-way-tbrough— Collars and
Cuffs are cheap—2o cents"for the best Col
lars in the world, and 25 cents a pair for
Cuffs. Ttie very same collars and cuffs
are in the fashionable gentlemen’s fur
nishing stores at 35 and 50 cents.
Thi3 is not all that we are going to
offer this week to make this depart
ment still more popuiar with our
gentlemen patrons. Our Unlaundried 75
cent White Shirts are -still popular, and
wny not? when you are compelled to pay
$1 50 fm • tlu: same shirt. The only differ
ence is that other stores buy them lauu
dried, and charge a much higher price for
them on this account. Our novelties in
Neckties and Scarfs, of all shapes and
styles, are too numerous to mention.
Sufficient to say, we have them, and In
great at a saving of fully 50 per
cent. We are going to introduce this de
partment more fully to you, and we have
wit enough to aim at a larger trade thau
can be reached with extravagant prices.
The rest goes without saying. Do we
need to explain that a gentlemen’s fur
nishing store has a slightly different no
tion of profats from ours? We invite your
special attention to this department, feel
ing assured that you will fully con
vinced of the above assertions. Look for

AN HOUR IN A PAWN SHOP
WIIEKE PEOPLE WHO ARE
HARD UP RAISE THE WIND.
Every Day Scenes Behind the Sign of
the Three Gilt Balls—The People who
go to See “Their Uncle ’ and What
They Get from Him.
There are every day scenes enacted be
hind the sign of the three gilt balls that if
the public could look in upon would open
its eye® to the lrailties of human nature.
A News reporter dropped into a well
known pawnbroker’s shop towards night
yesterday, and had just seated himself,
when a man past middle age entered.
His coat and general attire gave
evidence of the fact that he
had seen better days. A suspicious red
ness of the ulterior portion of his nasal
promontory betrayed the weakness which
caused his visit. He was one of the “reg
ulars” the proprietor subsequently ex
plained—a man who had once upon a
time been a prosperous business man, but
whom the passion for strong drink had
brought down in the world. He would
come with almost unvarying regularity,
pawn his watch or perhaps his ring for a
few dollars, and as regularly redeem them
when his wanes would enable him to do
so a few days later. This time he walked
up to the counter with a business air,
pulled out his watch, and spoke his oft
told tale of “just being In want of $3
to make up the amount of a note which
falls due to-morrow.” The money and
THE LOAN TICKET
were handed him, and he departed with
an air of satisfaction as if he had just
consummated a very profitable business
transaction. The next customer was a
young man, apparently about 25 years of
age. His face wore the marks of dissipa
tion, though his features were refined and
his manners bespoke the man of good
society. Drawing a valuable diamond
ring from his finger he said: “I should
like to have SSO for a few weeks. My
usual remittance has not come to hand,
and I am a little short of funds.”
The broker examined the ring and
asked: “Won’t S3O do you ?”
“Couldn’t possibly get along with less
than SSO, my dear sir,” was the reply, and
he got it.
“Will that ring be redeemed?” asked
the reporter.
“Oh, yes, unless the young man dies.
You see, I know him, or know of him.
He will go on
A FEW DAYS’ LARK,
and will get sick and get money from his
mother. Then the ‘dear boy’ will redeem
his ring. That’s his little lay.”
A woman entered the store, and
there are more ot them who visit
tha sign of the three balls than
many suppose there are. She is perhaps
35, and a glance at her face and dress
shows that it is need mingled with pride
that brings her there. She approaches
the counter with a box ih her hand and
hesitatingly, as though doing a wrong
act, she hands it to the broker. “Can
you let me have $5?” The articles were
weighed; they are all gold and silver
trinkets and the woman is informed that
the most that can be advanced on them is
$3. “Please let me have $5. I need it.”
impressed with her manner the broker
again weighs the articles she gave him.
“Madam,” he says, “they are not worth
more than $3, but as you say you need it,
1 will let you have $4, that is all I can do
for you.” The woman takes the money
and hurries away. She is one of a type
which, unfortunately perhaps, are too
proud to work in an humble way. There
is another customer,
A STRIKING CONTRAST
to the one just described.
It is also a woman who is not ashamed
to be found in a pawnshop if she can
only get what she wants. She throws
down a sacque and exclaims: “I say, let
me have S2O on that.” Tho broker
examines the cloak and says, ’’Can’t give
you over sls. It’s not worth it.”
“Oh, get out! you’re no good. Put on
another Y, that’s a good fellow; you know
your’e safe enough.” The broker re
mains unconvinced that he is “safe
enough,” and after several further inef
fectual efforts to obtain the desired
amount, the woman takes the offer and
flaunts out.
These are some of the types of people
who visit “their uncle,” although they
do not by any means make
up the ’ great " class, which
lives by “putting up*’ whatever it has at
a high rate of interest in the hards of the
man who thrives by its weakness. “It
takes money to run the business,” said a
leading broker. “Some people think that
a pawnbroker needs nothing but a sign
and halt a dozen brass watches to start
him in business. Do you suppose we can
advance a hundred dollars or more, per
haps five times that amount, every day
and get a living out of it? By no means.
But then, you know, we make a little
something, and manage to get a living
out of it.”
A Happy Fort.
What port is sought by every living
creature? Sup-port. You cannot well
make it if your lungs are not sound. Tay

I am Going to New York.
Yes, I am going to New York in a few
days to secure my spring stock of Fash
ionable Clothing. In the interval my win
ter stock of Clothing, Underwear, etc.,
must be disposed of. I never tvas more
in earnest in any announcement in my
life, and when I state that no reasonable
offer will be ref used, I am ready to abide
by it. This is' no ordinary opportunity,
as all familiar with the quality ot my
goods well know. They are put together
to stay, of the best material and approved
cut, not surpassed by anything any tailor
can or will turn out. ’ Such is the quality
of these goods that I would rup no risk—
even save money—by holding them over
until next season, only that 1 have no
room, and consequently must suffer this
sacrifice.
The public know me well enough to be

WHERE IT IS COLD.
Consolation for People in the Neighbor
hood of Zero.
And this brings me to speak about my
experience of the climate of Manitoba,
says a Manitoba letter from a lady cor
respondent. The variations of tempera
ture are very great. 1 have seen the ther
mometer stand at 125 degrees inside a
tent in summer and 58 degrees below
isero, or 90 degrees belq-.y rreeziug point,
outside the house in winter. Such arctic
cold would be unendurable if the air were
not so wonderlully dry and clear—and
often very still—that it does not
seem half as cold as it really is.
Then the changes of weather are
not generally very sudden; the heat
and cold are very regular, and
in mid-seasons the thermometer does not
fluctuate much. Perhaps a few homely
details may best serve to illustrate what
winter in Manitoba means. The snow
outside our house is from six to ten feet
deep from November to April. Mocca
sins, made by Indians of moose skin, are
used instead of shoes to cover the feet,
which are first cased in several pairs ot
stockings. 5Ve were forced to melt snow
for all the water we used last winter. The
cold is so intense that when melted snow
water is poured lrom the boiler into a pail
and taken at once across to the stable the
ice on it frequently has to be broken with
a stick before the cattle can drink.
It is rather a common sight to see peo
ple partly frozen. The part affected turns
as white as marble and loses all ieeiing.
Unless you see yourself in a glass or are
told ol it you are not conscious of being
frozen. In this plight It is best not to go
near a fire, as sudden thawing is very
painful. People generally try friction,
rubbing themselves with snow, or, better
still, with parafliue oil. Occasionally,
when one is frozen and far from help, the
part frozen, if an extremity, will snap off'.
Last ar a man living about thirty miles
from us was told that his ear was frozen;
he put up his hand to leei and the ear
dropped off in hie hand. Limbs sometimes
have to be amputated from severe
frost bites. My kitten’s ears froze and
broke - off last winter and a neigh
bor’s pony lost ears in the same way.
I was surprised when I first lound
the mustard lrozen in my mustard-pot,
which stood a foot from the kitchen stove-
pipe and two ieet above the stove, where
| there was a blazing fire all day and every
day through the winter. Yet the mustard
! froze between every meal. Bread froze if
left for half an hour in a room without a
lire. Such stories must sound almost in
credible except to those who, like myseli,
have witnessed the iacts, though, of
course, only in the most severe weather.
Winter is, of course, not equally severe
throughout. Part of my description ap
plies only to its colder half. But to a
woman the mot trying part of a winter
In Manitoba is not" its severity—for you
live in a warm house—but its length.
Snow lay on the ground last season for six
months and a half, and the great lakes
were frozen for the same period.
SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.
A North Carolina Movement for a Third
Great Trunk Line.
Raleigh, N. C., Feb. Iff.— The Soaboard
and Roanoke Railroad Company owns
and controls the Old Dominion Steamship
Line, from New York to Norfolk; the
Baltimore Steam Packet Line, from
Baltimore to Norfolk; the railroad
from Portsmouth to Weldon, known
as the “ Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad; ”
the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, from
Weldon to Rahleigb; the Raleigh and
Augusta Air Line Railroad, trom Raleigh
to Hamlet, and the Carolina Central Rail
road, from Wilmington to Shelby, which
water lines and railroads are run in con
nection with each other, and are known
as the “ Seaboard System.”
This system is cut off from any through
connection South, because the railroads
leading south ft-om Charlotte are con
trolled by tbe Richmond and Danville
Company. The object now is a through
line to Carnak, Ga. Therefore, a bill has
been introduced into the House of Repre
sentatives authorizing the Raleigh and
Augusta Air-Line Railroad Company and
the Carolina Central Railroad Company
to enter into a contract lor the joint use
of that portion ot the line of the Carolina
Central Railroad between Hamlet and a
point on said line, to be agreed upon, in
the county of Union or Mecklenburg; and
upon the execution of such contract it
shall be lawful for the Raleigh and Au
gusta Air-Line Railroad Company to con
struct its line from such point to the
South Carolina line, and as much further
as may be authorized by the States of
South Carolina and Georgia.
The Carolina Central Road will be ex
tended from Monroe, in the county ot
Union, to Chester, S. C.. from thence to
Newberry, 8. C.. and thence on to 6a
rnak, Ga., soma fifty miles west ot Au
gusta, where connection will be made
with the Georgia system of roads.
When completed to Camak the new
road will constitute a third great trunk
line to the South, passing through the
middle of North Carolina, putting all tbe
towns on a fast through line, which are
now, so to speak, on a side track.
TEST OF i’HY ICAb ENDURANCE
How the Military Propose to Encourage
Practical Patriotism.
A “Grand Military Test of Physical En
durance (such as would be found neces
sary under the regime of a military cam
paign),” says the New York Tribune, is
to take place at Madison Square Garden,
on May 4—30, under the auspices of a
military com mittee and a committee of
citizens, among whom are Chief Justice
Noah Davis, Senator-elect Evarts, Prof.
R. Ogden Doreinus, Gea. Hancock, Ex-
Postmaster-General James, Gen. Molli
neux, S. L. M. Barlow, Aaron J. Vander
poel, Levi M. Bates, Henry Clews, Her
mann Oelrichs, W. P. Jaffray, Brigadier-
Generals C. T. Christensen, William
Brownell and Dauiel W. Wylie, Surgeon-
General C. R. Francis, of London, and
Col. Emmons Clark. The arrangements
are under the direction of Edward Pay son
Weston, the pedestrian. The object being
“to promote improvement in the military
ability of the citizen-soldier of the United
States, to demonstrate publicly how far
careful and prudent training will assist
the soldier in the discharge of his patri
otic duties to the country.” The compe
titions will be between militiamen of New
York and other States, and of Canada,
and will end with an international contest
between ten picked men of the National
Guard of New York and Brooklyn and
the same number from the best ol the vol
unteer regiments in London. Prizes to
the amount of $29,000 will be distribute ’,
the highest prize being $2,000 in cash.
KEEIjY’S workshop.
A Newspaper Man is Admitted to the
Mysterious Chamber.
Keely is close and suspicious about
everything pertaining to hio motor. lie
guards his shop carefully. The Tribune
correspondent was invited to visit the
machine and witness its working. The
visit was made at night. Keely is a big,
burly man, and looks like a blacksmith.
He has an intelligent face and a bright,
keen eye. He began his experiments by
pouring an ordinary tumblerful ol water
into what he called his “generator,” and
then took up a violin and attuned the
“vibrations” until he said they were in
accord. Tuning up machinery with a
fiddle was only one of the Singular
features of the entertainment. The gener
ator was in one room and the engine in
another. There were numerous good
sized ragged holes through the plaster, on
the sidewalls and overhead, made, as was
explained, by nuts and bolts flying off at
times when the power had become too
vigorous. An old engine of apparently
great strength was lying atone side of the
room, having been displaced because it
was not strong enough. To a man who
talks about thirty, forty or fifty thousand
pounds pressure to the square inch, iron
and steel seem to be weak materials.
Some interesting experiments were made,
indicating that from some cause an im
mense power was secured. Then some
thing broke and the experiment had to
end.
It N'ever Fail*.
Wall Street Xeics.
He didn’t go to Missouri to start a
bank, nor to lend money at 14 per cent.,
nor to organize a railroad and sell out the
other stockholders. He had a surer thing
than that. He let it be known that he
had a government contract, and would
“let in” a few capitalists and guarantee
profits at 10 per cent, per month. He
might have raked in $50,000, but he
stopped at half that sum and skipped.
He will change fields and play tho game
over and over again, until he has money
enough to enable him to settle down and
found an orphan asylnm or a college.
His victims will feel sore and suspicious
for a time, but will be ready to swallow
the bait when th? hook is dropped in
again.”

RIGUARD ALEXANDER WAYNE.
This galiant soldier and true gentleman de
parted this life on Oct. 14 last, and lus remains
rest in the family burial place at our beaatifu,’
Laurel Grove Cemetery to quietly await that
great dav when the grave shall give up ifi
de ad and an account be called 4or the deeds
none in the flesh. He was not unaware ft
the near approach of the end of his eartlily
career, and was not afraid to die. He never
knew any such feeling as fear! and had often
expressed to the writer his conviction o. a
life hereafter, and the relief which death
brings to the weary. But it is not of his true
friendship; of ‘ his devotion to the
interests of those lie esteemed and respected
as liis friends—for lie stood ready at all times
to stand by them at, the peril of his life and
liberty! (and those who snared his confidence
know the import of this statement!!—that it
is intended here to speak. It is of those
qualities as a soldier and man which fitted
him for high position, and which he fully ex
emplified on many aa occasion in the per
formance of duty curing the struggle of the
State of Georgia and her sister South
ern States for tlie m aiutenance of const! tut ion -
al State rights, that honorable mention shill
here be enduringly made. In the incipieney
of that grand contest, on Feb. 7. ls6l, he was
commissioned by tlie Governor of Georg a a
Captain of the s< cond Regiment of Georgia
Infantry, until, in the language of the com
mission." “revoked whenever a government
shall be established by the Southern States to
winch Georgia may accede.” On Oct. 3, 1802,
he was promoted Major of the “First Georgia
Regiment, E. M.,” in the provisional army in
the service of the Confederate States; then,
on Sept. 3, 1364, Lieutenant Colonel, and
then to rank from that same date as a
full Colonel, by genera! order of Gen.
Joseph F. Johnston, which was afterwards
confirmed by commission from President Jef
ferson Davis. He was in command of his
regiment in many a hard fought battle and
glorious victory until the close of the war,
and at the surrender found himself unable to
part with the colors of his command. These
he carefully concealed upon his person and
retained during life, and they are now in the
sacred keeping of the Georgia Historical So
ciety with a letter from Col. Wayne, which
breathes his undying devotion to that ever
living cause to which he freely gave the best
years of his lif-*. He says as a
memento of our gallant though lost strug-
gle: “I leg leave to ask your care
of these colors—emblems of Southern devo
tion to Southern rights—whose folds were
only furled at the last moment, under the in
exorable decree of fate, at, to us Southerners,
the glorious surrender at Appomattox, where
our cause was lust but our honor preserved.”
There is a grandeur, a nobility of thought
and action, through poverty, sickness and
death, which sustains unfaltering loyalty to
Truth and Honor. Who can doubt its exist
ence here?
Col. WAVNE and his command took an ac
tive part in the Virginiacampaigns,and in the
historical batties ot Fredericksburg, Malvern
Hill, Savage Station, Peach Orchard, Boones
boro Gap, Manassas, Thoroughfare Gap, Rap
pahannock, Sharpsburg, Dam No. 1, Chantilly,
and Sharpsburg; in Florida, at Oiustee in the
defense of Savannah, Ga.; at Cheraw, S. C.,
and John's Island, S. C., where Col. WAYNE
drove back the enemy and performed feats of
personal valor which will ever live in the
memory of bis comrades, and prevented a
lodgment which would have imperiled the
position of the Confederate army; and at the
battleof Averysboro. which immediately pre
ceded Gen. Johnston’s skillful attack at Ben
tonsville, where he also participated. All
these names are emblazoned by blood
and shot and Bhell upon the
battle-scarred colors of the First Georgia
Regulars, which was the name by which his
regiment was distinguished, and constitute a
relict of heroic endeavor and bravery bv
which future generations would do well to lie
guided. It is well, perhaps, that republics
should lie ungrateful that republican institu
tions mav flourish. But let ns not forget tbe
valuable services of those who iti time of sore
need and trial served their country faithfully.
We can ami should at least do justice to the
memory of UIO3O who deservedly lived anil
devotedly died true to themselves, to honor
and to country. R.
