Some of the Georgia papers are boom

for the Brazilian mission. It is not stated
what they have against him. Some of
Col. Duncan’s friends think be would

It is stated that Jen. Butler is drifting
into dotage, and that he is not only in bad

He is having very little to say about poli

Brooklyn people are complaining of the

A recent letter front Athens to a Ger

covery ot great value as relating to the
history of Greek art. in the course of
the excavations now being carried on
around the Acropolis the foundations of
the Propyla a have been laid bare. Among
them have been discovered a uuiuber of
sheds or verandas, built of tufa, which
were evidently existing on the spot when
the Propybra was being erected, about
430 B. C., and were built into the founda
tions. Some ot them are in a state of per
tect preservation, and retain still quite
fresh the paintings with which they were
originally decorated. The colors em
ployed wen* blue, red and yellow.
Emory Storrs, the celebrated Chicago
Republican legal luminary, says: ‘“Cleve
land Is going around with the wrong
trade-mark on his back. He has always
been In favor ot honest money and opposed
to flat money. He was in favor of every
movement looking to the prosecution of
the war. He hasn’t breathed a Demo
cratic breath since he was born. Some
one has branded him a Democrat, and he
thinks he is a Democrat. I think he will
be a disappointment to every unpatriotic
Democrat. He is thoroughly honest, and
•o far as he can control his party his ad
ministration will not seriously interfere
with the business interests of the coun
try, but he can’t control the party. He
will lose caste with his own party, not
because the Democrats are unpatriotic,
but because they are in a hurry to get the
offices. 1 think he will be in trouble in
about a year, and only the Republicans
will be iii favor of him and his adminis
tration.” Mr. Storrs must be a candi
date tor the position of false prophet. Mr.
Cleveland will undoubtedly give the
country a clean and honest administra
tion, but that will be the very reason the
Republicans will not favor him. Al! the
leading Republicans, however, appear to
be badly rattled just now.
The Post Office Department.
There is scarcely a doubt that the hard
est worked Cabinet officer under the new
administration for the first year of his
official term at least will be the Postmas
ter General. The Post Office Department
has been operated as a partisan machine
ever since the war. The organization and
discipline of the department has been
such that its power from a political point
of view was almost irresistible. Even
had there been no notorious frauds and
systematic plundering among its officials,
its political corruption has been such as
to cause its management to becondemnfd
in nearly everv city in the coun
try.
Had the Post Office Department been
conducted according to the spirit ol the
civil service law the Republican party
would have been expelled trom powtr
years ago. Nine-tenths of the Postmasters
in the country have been active Republi
can politicians. The Republican head
quarters in almost every village, in tbe
South especially, has been in the post
offices, and the Postmasters have gener
ally considered it tbe main part of their
duty to do all in theif power, whether
legally or illegally, by fair means or foul,
to advance the interests of their party
and contribute to its continuance in
power.
The South has suffered greatly from the
partisanship and unscrupulous conduct
ot the Postmasters. The appointments of
Postmasters in this section have been
made, with a few exceptions only, with
out regard to the wishes of the people and
only with reference to their subserviency
to the Republican party and their ability
and willingness to carry out the instruc
tions of the party managers.
In no way can the Democratic adminis
tration better commend itself to the re
spect and confidence of the country than
in instituting sweeping reforms in the
Post Office Department. It cannot be
doubted that the Republican agents
will be turned out almost to a
man, and their places tilled with
men who will be appointed for
their fitness and worth. The Post Office
Department, extending as it does into
every part of the Union, should not be a
political machine. It should be sepa
rated as much as possible from mere po
litical influences. It should be adminis
tered in the interest of the whole people,
and every office, whether large or small,
should be conducted on strict business
principles.
What with turning the rascals out and
putting the right kind of officials in. the
new Postmaster General will be sure to
have his hands lull.
The Tariff on Machinery.
That tbe cotton manufacturers ot the
South have done well during the past five
years has been often asserted and never
contradicted. The highest proof of this
fact is tne statistics of new mills which
have been established in every Southern
State. While the manufacture of cotton
goods has not been as profitable for the
past two years as before that time, still
nearly all the Southern mills are in a
healthy condition, and they have no
reason to complain when the general
stagnation in every other part ot the
country is taken into consideration.
The money invested in cotton machinery
in the South daring the past live years
amounts to many millions of dollars, 'The
tariff on this machinery was 45 per cent,
ad valorem. The machinery cost our
cotton spinners and weavers nearly halt
as much again, not taking freight, in
surance, etc., into consideration, as the
same machinery costs English spinners
and weavers. Probably a very small pro
portion of this extra cost went into the
public Treasury in the shape of customs
duties. By far the larger part went to
Massachusetts manufacturers, who arc
enabled by the burdensome tariff laws to
collect this enormous direct tax from
their customers.
A company is organized to build a cot
ton factory. It buys $200,000 worth <>f
machinery or what would t>e $200,000
worth In England. The duty on this ma
chinery is $90,000, which must be paid to
the government it' the machinery is pur
chased abroad. It it is bought in this
country the manufactures have the ben
efit of this protective tariff. The cost to
the cotton millmen is the same. The in
terest on the duty alone, at 8 per cent., is
$7,200 per annum. What a slice is this
to cut out of the profits of a mill when
the margin is as close as it has been for
the last two years!
One of the largest new mills in the
South was run last year at a net loss or
$21,000. Probably the loss would have
bean scarcely anything had it not been
for the tariff on its expensive machinery.
There are yet some cotton manufacturers
who think they are benefited by the war
tariff. Perhaps they are to some extent.
They have their machinery, and the taritt
protects the establishing ot new mills
wnich might compete with them, as they
have only a home market, But what will
they do when it becomes necessary for
them to restock their own mills with new
machinery? Will they feel like paying
this outrageous tax over again? Or will
they cat the wages of their employes and
shift the burden to the shoulders of those
who are not responsible for it nor able to
bear it ?
V Reform Saloon.
New Y ork city has one saloon-keeper
who is a strong advocate of temperance,
and he is consequently instituting a re
form in the saloon business. He has a
nice house, neatly furnished throughout.
He has banished the pictures of prize
fighters and nude women, and adorned
the walls of his saloon with chaste but
beautiful works of art.
On one side of tbe room is the bar, and
on the other an attractive lunch counter.
His lunch consists of excellent beef
sandwiches and the best coffee. He keeps
pure rye whisky (new which costs him
at wholesale $1 f.i per gallon. His coffee
costs him GO cents for 10 gallous. His
pressed corn beef and white btead he gets
at wholesale juices. He furnishes bis
customers with a drink of whisky, a
sandwich and a cup of coffee for •> cents.
His drinks average Go to the gal
lon, and hence each gallon of
whisky brings gross $3 25. His coffee
costs him two-fiftbs of a cent per cup, and
his sandwiches about three-titthsot a cent
each. The drink of whisky, coffee and
sandwich costs him a fraction over 3
cents for each customer, and he gets a
clear profit of about cents on each
drink sold. He sells an average of 1,.‘>00
drinks per day, and his net profits, after
paying all expenses. Vent, assistants,
etc., are about $lB per day.
He contends, and with reason, that
when a tnan gets a drink of whisky and
a sandwich *and tops off with a cup of
coffee, he is satisfied. He condemns the
practice in vogue in many saloons of
keeping relishes which increase the appe
tite (or strong drink. He thinks he is do
ing more good practically than the tem
perance orators. His experiment is cer
tainly a novel and interesting one. His
example will doubtless be followed in
other cities. His plan will hardly sat
isfy the prohibitionists, although he
appears to think that he is working in
the cause of temperance. It is pretty ev
ident however, that his chief aim is to
make money and he appears to be suc
ceeding. The time hasn’t eotne yet for
classing a man as a temperance reformer
because he lowers the price of whisky
and attracts anew class ol customers.
John Roach now proposes to make the
shafts of the cruisers Chicago, Boston
and Atlanta of iron instead of steel. He
says the breaking of the shaft of the
Dolphin proves that it is impossible to
forge perfect steel shafts ot large size.
There seems to l>e an Idea that Mr. Roach
wants to take advantage of and profit by
his own wong, or rather his own imper
fect work. The Philadelphia Record ,
speaking of this matter, says: ‘‘No man
familiar with the resources and achieve
ments of our shipbuilders needs to be
told that this is an error; yet that is the
kind of a navy Mr. John Roach proposes
to give us.”
The female evangelist, Mrs. Lydia
WoodruO, is still keeping up the religious

The Cause of* Ireland.
The objects of the Irish leaders are the
establishment of home rule for Ireland
and the amelioration of the condition of
the people of that unhappy island. These
objects are highly laudable, and the}
command the sympathy of the lovers of
liberty and humanity in every part Of the
world. They certainly appeal with pecu
liar force to the people of this country,
especially those—and they are numbered
by millions—who have Irish blood in their
veins. With the re-estabiisbment Of ao
Irish Parliament it is believed an era of
prosperity and progress would be inaugu
rated in Ireland which would result in
the gradual emancipation of the people
front the condition of pauperism and
degradation into which they have been
brought by centuries of oppression ar.d
internecine quarrels.
It seems impossible that any well-in
formed man who has at heart the good ol
Ireland can hope for anything favorable
to result Horn the policy of assassination
and terrorism which has been inaugu
rated by the dynamiters. The real strug
gle of Ireland is necessarily a pailiamen
tary one. Every victory, however slight,
gained by Mr. Parnell and his colleagues,
in Parliament marks the progress of Ire
land’s cause. Every home rule seat
gained in the borough elections, whether
in Ireland, Scotland or England,
brings nearer the day for whose coming
every true son of Erin prays. The Irish
home rulers hope to fill eighty-five seats
in the new Parliament, and will doubtless
do so if they are not paralyzed by the acts
of the dynamiters.
How long it will lie before it is possible
to re-establish "the Irish Parliament, it is
impossible to conjecture. It is certain
that nothing uood can come to Ireland or
the Irish people from a policy which seems
to be tbe outcome of a revengeful and fa
natic spirit, and not dictated by common
sense ami true patriotism. Every mur
der, every explosion, every violent utter
ance. doqs more damage to the cause of
Ireland than to England and its people,
and postpones the day of the political re
demption of the Irish people.
This is not the time for Irishmen to fight
against foes ot flesh and blood. They
must struggle to conquer the sympathy
of the enlightened people ot the world,
and especially to present their wrongs
and sufferings for the favorable consider
ation of the liberal masses of England,
Scotland and thei.' own island. Nothing
pleases the enemies of Ireland better than
to see Irishmen commit acts and utter
speeches that alienate from them the
sympathies and take away from them the
confidence of their own friends.
It is certain that the great body of lnsh-
Americans have no part in the dynamite
business. It is true, however, that one
babbling idiot can make enough noise and
confusion to drown the voices of 20 wise
and discreet men, and hence very little is
heard just now f-0111 representative Irisb-
Amerieans.
There is no question of the fact that
there is greater apparent apathy among
the friends of Ireland in America now
than there has been for several years. It
is difficult to tell how much this is due to
the action of some of the leaders of the
Land League in the Presidential cam
paign, and how much to the paralyzing of
lrisn hopes by the acts and utterances of
extremists.
The Tennessee Legislature is consider
ing the propriety ot calling a constitu
tional convention. The Tennesseeans
would doubtless find it much better to
patch up their old constitution. Conven
tions are always very expensive, and
their work is not always satisfactory as a
whole. Separate amendments can be
easily ratified if good, or voted down if
bad. This cannot be done when a whole
constitution is to be voted on in a lump.
Quite a number ot insurance companies
do not propose to give up their business
in Texas on account of the “valued
policy” law in,force in that State. They
have decided to insert a clause in the
policy, as well as the application, in which
the insured will waive all claims of bene
fit under that law. There seems to be no
doubt of the right of the parties to make
this waiver. The law will, therefore, be
a dead letter.

ITEMS Of INTEREST.
The measles invaded a household where
there were many children. The first child to
sicken was given a box of paints and some
prints to color, to amuse himself in bed. *‘f
wish I could get the measles,” said a younger
brother, "then I could have a paint-box, too."
In due time he caught the infection, amt was
also given a box of paints. “Poppa.” said the
little one wearily, after being a couiile of days
m bed, “you can take the paint-box away. I
don't want the measles.”
IT is a somewhat unusual thing for a reign
ing sovereign to appear in the witness box at
a police court. The other day, however, the
King of Italy, from good natured motives,
volunteered his testimony before a Magistrate
in Rome. A shopkeeper named Maranzoni
had unfortunately injured a little girl liy rid
ing over her in the street, ami King Humbert,
who had witnessed the accident, came for
ward to say that in his opinion Maranzoni
had been in no wise to blame, and that, in
fact, his horse had run away with him.
A tei.kokam from Alliance, 0., illustrates
in a forcible manner how the rollerskating
craze has taken possession of the people of
that town. The story has leaked out that a
well-known married ladv who has long been
a regular skater at the rink, was taken sm-
deniv ill while skating and a physician was
summoned. Her condition was apparent,
and a suggestion was made that her ,-kat s ire
removed. This she objector’, to positively,
saying she had an engagement to waltz when
Hie music began playing. A few minutes
later she gave birth to twins.
The troubles between the English tree
masons and the Grand Orient of France con
tinue. The Prince of Wales replying to a re
cent letter of the French Grand Master, says:
“English Masons have always held to the tc
licf that God is the first and great landmark
of genuine Freemasonry. Without such be
lief noiwrdy can rightly claim to inherit the
traditions of true Kreeinssonry.” It is ex
pected that the Grand Orient will convene a
meeting in London in order to explain the at
titude of the Orient, which intended to allow
the fullest liberty of eonscience.
Americans long since gave up all hope of
finding any considerable number of French
men of average intelligence who were decent •
!y well informed about American afl'airs. But
they had a right to expect more of writers m
scientific papers than would appear from this
extract from an artiels in the I'nion Medicals:
“During the war of secession many Generals,
and among them Grant and Lee, proved that,
without being professional soldiers, men may
become great Generals when they unite to a
sufficient special instruction moral and intel
lectual qualities developed by intelligent la
bor.”
Tat: Pennsylvania Senate has been made
the victim of the seductive book agent. A
bill was introduced requiring the instruction
of children in the public schools in the anato
my of drunkenness. Petitions came from all
sections of the State urging the passage of the
bill and the Senate adopted it without a
word of comment, it now appears that these
petitions were procured by agents of a cheap
work on the effects of spirituous liquors upon
the human frame, who desire to sec their
Imok introdu ed as a text-book in the schools.
The scheme was exposed before the bill
reached the House.
This wise little girl also believed that the
stars were the cnildren of the moon. Her
mother wanted her to go to bed one night be
fore she felt quite sleepy enough to go will
ingly. “But the moon hasn't sent her chil
dren to bed yet.” objected the litt'r astrono
mer, petulaXtlv. it so happened that a storm
was brewing and heavy clouds were gathering
in the heavens. “Go and sec if she hasn’t,"
said her mother. The little head was imme
diately poppied out of the window and the skv
wts scanned eagerly. "Well, I guess i’ve got
to go to lied now,” she said, after the survey;
“the moon is covering up her children and
tucking them In.”
While Alexander Shaw, of Kinetra, Scot
land, was in the fields the other day, he heard
cries of a bird apparently in distress. Look
ing up he saw a lark hotly pursued by a
hawk, which, by a series of fierce dashes, tried
to secure his prey, but the lark was successful
in evading the attacks. The hawk, however,
was gaining the mastery, and the lark, terror
struck, seeing the man below.came down like
an arrow amt fluttered actually iatohis hand,
where it cowered trembling. I’he pursuer
followed until within six yards, but. steing
what had occurred, he flew off in disgust.
After a time the lark was liberated, when it
soared upward, singing donbtless a song of
gratitude to its deliverer. The circumstance
D remarkable asskowing how the great terror
conquered the less—the instinct of preserva
tion in the bird triumphing over its natural
timidity.
There have been so many sensational sto
ries concerning the precise character of the
disease of Gen. Graut's tongue and throat,
that it will be gratifying to his many friends
to learn that all the more serious and alarm
ing symptoms conneete i with theiqjiave vir
tually diappeared. It woul I appear, from
its cluneal history, to have been a ease of
chronic superficial inflammation of the
tongue, the long continuance of which results
in progressive malignant destruction of the
invaded parts. There is a strong probability
that excessive smoking*was one of the prime
factors as to causation, inasmuch as such has
been proven to lie the case in the lar.e ma
jority of persons so afflicted. The distin
guished General would not certainly tie con
sidered an exception to this rule, affording as
he does the “notorious example" tor the anti
tobaceoni'ts. still it is fair to state that the
disease sometimes occurs in those who do not
smoke and who are not inclined to any in
temperance.

PIGS IN SWALLOW-TAILS.
The Last Aasemb'y at Delnionlco’s
Voted a Mistake by tbe Gluttons —
Other New York Nott s.
Correspondence of the Morning A eics.
New York, Feb. 19. —There was no
german at the final assembly of the sea
son which was given at Deltnonieo’s last
Thursday night, and cards containing the
order of dances were used as at public
balls. The innovation was pronounced a
mistake by certain of the male guests,
and what do you suppose was the real
reason of their dictum? Tbe answer to
this question must be- preceded by an ex
planation. There is a class of men who
literally play the part of parasites at
parties. That is, they go to balls not to
dance but to eat. At Delmonieo balls, of
course, they are usually able to gratify
their inclination to satiety. They stand
around in people’s way, blocking
up doorways and generally inter
fering with others until the cotillion
gets well under wav, and then they go
down to the empty supper room and se
cure a table to themselves. By bribing a
waiter they have served to them the best of
the food and drink provided for the supper,
and they sit asd gorge themselves until
they can eat and drink no longer. When
they become tipsy boa-constrictors in hu
man shape they stagger away generally
without bidding those who act as the
hosts and hostesses of the occasion good
by.
Now, the absence of the german at
the assembly prevented this customary
exhibition of gluttony, as their being no
drawn out dance to detain them in tbe
ball room, people continually wandered
into the supper room, ti ml a sense of
shame interfered with the gluttons’ grati
fications oftheir appetites. No stag supper
parties, therefore, graced the assembly,
and the substitution of an ordinary ordt r
ofdance6 for the cotillion was conse
quently voted a mistake by the pigs in
swallow-tail coals who attended. T-e re
markable leature ot all this is that men
who would be willing to make beasts of
themselves in private should he restrained
by a regard for decency from doing so in
public. When a man is invited to a ball,
the condition is tacitly included
iu the invitation that he shall do
bis share of dancing, escort some
woman to the supper room and
see that she satisfies her hunger, and in
other ways make himself useful. A man
who, forgetful of what is expected from
him, will not join in the dancing, which
is the reason ot being of the ball, and will
leave women to get supper as best they
can, one would think, would have so little
sense of shame as to he restrained by no
regard for appearances in the pursuit of
his private pleasures. Apparently the
ball-going glutton knows the right, al
though be still the wrong pursues.
The decision of men who do not dance
it that the absence of the german ren
dered tbe assembly a failure has natu
rally caused no little amusement among
those 'ho know how such employ them
selves while the cotillion is in progress,
and the promulgators of the edict are be
ing proportionately laughed at. Certain
ly nothing could be more ludicrous than
the position they have put themselves in,
and they probably will not hear the las*
of it for some time. •
AS MAY BE SEEN FROM THE FOREGOING,
there is a number of men here who go
into what is called society, who have r.o
claim to the title of gentlemen. Not only
.art'-men who are really vulgar to be
found at the larger social gatherings, but
you will find many so ignorant of every
thing that it is necessary lor an ordi
narily well mlormed person to carefully
conform his, or her, conversation to their
understanding. It was, however, a wo
man, and not a man, who, when Miss H.,
who has a taste for literature, spoke last
week of reading Colley Cibber’s plays,
said: “Are you reading them in the origi
nal or in the translation?” "in transla
tion!” Miss H. charitably answered in
order that iho questioner might not
blush for her ignorance. It’s sur
prising that a New Yorker
should have made that particular mis
take, as she should have learned at the
theatre, if nowhere else, that tbe actinar
version of “Richard III.” is “an adapta
tion”—to use a word now popular in con
nection with plays—by Cibber, and no
body but an Englishman would be likely
to attempt to “improve” Shakespeare.
Cibber’s “improvements,” however, con
stitute The principal catffh words of tne
play, "Off with his head; so much for
Buckingham!” and “Richard’s himself
again.” being Cibber and not Shakes
peaie.
To go back to my mutton: Not only arc
there men in New Y'ork society who, in
spite of their antrlomania, wofully man
gle the Queen’s English, and show their
ignorance in other ways, but there are
some who are, in English parlance, a had
lot. I know, for instance, of a charity
ball manager, who, there is good reason
to believe, once kept the S6O which he had
received lor the twelve tickets which had
been given him to sell. At any rate, the
tickets were not returned, nor was there
any money received from him.
A feature ot New Y’ork society which
strikes a stranger, and is a source of per
petual complaint to the men and women
alike, is the number of boys that swarm the
floor at balls and dances. The reason for
this is manifest. It’s only boys with
nothing to do but to attend the recita
tions of the institutions of learning they
are passing through without learning
anything, or who do not make even a pre
tence of doing anything, who can get
enough sleep in the day time to
enable them to devote their
nights to dancing. Comparatively
tew professional men and men of business
have the physique to permit them to
dance all night and work all day. When
one sees a woman with nothing
to do hut sleep tha greater
part of the day , break down
from too much social dissipation, as Miss
Baylies is supposed to have done, it is
not extraordinary that the number of
men who try to serve two masters—fash
ion and their professional pursuits—is so
small. As partners must be had their
places have consequently to be tilled by
boys and by the men who have retired
from active business, and the cradle and
the grave arc, therefore, equally robbed
to fill a New York ball room.
ALTHOUGH SOME PROFESS TO FEEI,
SORRY
that Lent has come so soon, few devotees
of dancing really regret that yesterday
has put an end to the more active gaye
ties for awhile. The pace of a New York
fashionable season is so exhausting tha>
nearly all are satisfied to be occupied
with more sober pursuits for the next six
weeks. Every form of amusement which
a very lax rule permits will, nevertheless,
be indulged in during the penitential
season. Indoor tennis will he played
more than ever, and Babminton clubs are
forming to play that modern four of bat
tledore and shuttle cock. W hist, or rather
bumble puppy, as those who play the
game scientifically call the game when
played by the old rules, and other games
ot cards will also take the place of danc
ing. and there will be sewing classes, at
which little sewing will be done, without
number.
While speaking of social matters, let
me tell you a story which is related ot
Mrs. Bradley Martin. Before she was
married her initials were 1. H. S. Being
somewhat like The great Napoleon in that
respect, she was fond of repeating her
initials wherever possible, and the three
letters just named adorned her room in
every available spot. Somebody, who did
not know her peculiarity, and that these
letters were her initials, mistook them
for the initials of a sacred sentence which
is, nr ought t?> be, too familiar to repeat,
and went around telliug people how re
ligious she was. Napoleon’s using the
initial of name to adorn the walls
and furniture of his palace, you may re
member, gave rise to the not half bad
pun, “II a ses N's mis (ennetnis) par
tout.” While it is not translated, the
joke is sufficiently obvious without being
translated.
Another version of the same story about
Mrs. Martin sets forth that, when abroad,
she bought an ancient altar cloth with the
mystic letters I. 11. S. emblazoned upon
it. Somebody who saw it mistook the in
itials for those of Mrs. Martin’s lather,
who was Isaac 11. Sherman, and, noticing
the cloth’s antique appearance, remarked
that it must have been in tbe family a
long time. This is considered by some a
lietter joke than the other verson, as it’s
only comparatively recently that the
family in questiou has possessed such a
superb piece of work. Few would have
thought halt a century ago that Isaac 11.
Sherman’s daughter would have spent
$15,000 in entertaining 300 guests for a
few hours, as she did at her recent ball,
and that the best people in New Y'ork
would have been among the persons en
tertained.
NEWSPAPER MEN HERE, OR SOME OF
THEM,
are not a little astonished at the choice of
subject of a recent portrait and sketch in
the St. Stephen's Review, of London. The

Kneland after the Queen, the late Duke
of Wellington and other titled swells.

at seeing one Harry H. Marks, a brother
of Montague Marks, who, when here, was
the greater part of the time only a re
porter on the World, in 6ueh distinguish

A LIVELY GEORGIA TOWN.
A *>' News* and Interesting
Item*.
Waycross, Ga., Ft b. 21.—0n0 is sur
prised at the rapid growth 0 f our little
town. Many improvements have been
made withm the past 12 months. Incor
porated one mile and a half each way
Irom the court house, looking over this
area from an elevation of over 100 feet,
you see that it is almost covered already.
Centering around the court h'use is
•hat portion where the mercantile
business of the town has been done
during the 12 years of her young life,
and in the centre of this business square
is being bored the artesian-well—now 225
ieet deep. The artesian stream is expect
ed to be found at a depth of 100 feet. This
enterprise is the offspring of private sub
scription, objected to at first by some, but
determined upon by those of our citizens
who looked forward to the future of Way
cross and the health and prosperity of her
people. No enterprise could have been
more timelv, and none could have been
more important from a health standpoint
or protection from fire, as pure water is a
scarce commodity, and there are no cis
terns to draw lrom in case of fire.
MAYOR JNO. C. M’DONALD AND THE NEW
COUNCIL
have inaugurated so many improvements
in the condition of the town that we would
be taxed to enumerate them. Among the
most notable is the trimming of the shade
trees ar.d grading the streets. The con
trast is striking. The town looks brighter
and more inviting already. This fact is
remarked not only by our citizens but by
strangers who come here. Under Mayor
McDonald’s administration no one evades
the street tax. Tramps and vagrants are
put in harness and earn their bread upon
the streets of the town. The town is out
of debt and has tunds in its treasury.
THAT PORTION OF THE TOWN LAID OUT
by the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway has not been standing still.
Numerous new buildings have gone up
and some are occupied by Savannah peo
ple.
On Reed street, the Presbyterian
Church is in process of construction.
The KpiscopalChurch has been completed
and has its regular pastor. The comple
tion of these churches gives Waycross a
representation in almost all of the Prot
estant churches, while the Catholic
Church is still being talked of but has
uot been erected as yet. The Waycross
restaurant is a credit to the town. It is
managed by Miss J. C. Remshart.
IT IS AN INTERESTING SPECTACLE
to witness the arrival of four passenger
trains at one time at this depot, and see
the masses of people who arrive upon
them. _
Near the savannah,Florida and M estern
depot is an imposing brick structure the
Grand Central Hotel. Besides this, there
are the Satilla House, the Park House,
the registers of these hotels alone show
over 1,000 entries[a month, which gives an
idea of the patronage they receive.

AN OLD STORY RETOLD.
How Henry Clay won Popularity Among
Backwoodsmen.
The story now current of Vice-Presi
dent Hendricks having broken seven suc
cessive clay pipes in long-distance rifle
shooting recalls that which Henry Clay
told of himselt with great enjoyment,
When stumping the district for his first
term in Congress he spoke at a backwoods
gathering where a beef was being “shot
for.” Those present were mostly his po
litical opponents, backwoodsmen all of
them, holding him in something ot con
tempt for his “store clothes.” His elo
quence had little eft'eet on them, and he
was standing watching the shooting in a
discouraged mood when a grizzled fron
tiersman slapped him on the shoulder and
said: “Young man, you spoke pretty well
considerin’; less see il voucan shoot as
straight as you talk.” “I never shoot
but with my own rifle,” replied
Clay, but he was not allowed
to escape. A gun was banded to him,
warranted the best in the country. He
braced it to his shoulder, squinted along
the barrel in a careless way, and bored a
hole through the centre of a half dollar
stuck on a tree a hundred yards away.
The feat was received with’ thunders of
applause; the young man in store clothes
became a lion immediately, and, after
being congratulated and having his band
nearly shaken off, was urged to repeat tbe
shot.' “Never shoot at a mark twice in
the same day except with my own gun,”
he replied nonchalantly. He used to say
That this incident elected him to Congress,
and w r as the turning point in his career.
After it he always believed in his destiny,
for he had tiever'shot a rifle before in his
life.
CHEERING CARLISLE.
A Scene Which Showed the Speaker's
Popularity.
There was a magnificent scene in the
House when Speaker Carlisle first reap
peared in the House after his recent se
vere illness. It was a quarter past three
o’clock when the committee of the whole,
which had been eonsideriug the river and
harbor bill, decided to rise in order that
the House might decide upon the consid
eration of the naval bill. At this time
Speaker Carlisle entered the chamber to
resume the Speaker’s chair. He had
scarcely passed through the door to the
left when he was greeted with tne
most enthusiastic applause from
both sides of the hall. Re
publicans were as enthusiastic as Demo
crats iu extending a most heartfelt wel
come to a man and a Sp3aker for whom
all members have high admiration and
respect. Mr. Carlisle’s appearance indi
cates recent severe suffering. He is still
quite weak, and he did not remain long in
the chair this afternoon. As he was leav
ing the chamber to retire to the Speaker’s
room there was a rush of members to the
area, where they surrounded him and
congratulated him, and expressed their
earnest wishes that he shall soon com
pletely recover his health.

Washington, Feb. 20.—When the end

Col. Ochiltree, and as both are good shots
they can’t very well miss each other.
Col. Alexander said to-day, in reply to in
terrogatories: “You see, as long as Ochil

are tied. I can do nothing here in the
capitol; 1 can do nothing elsewhere. But
it is not long before March 4. Ochiltree
will then be a private citizen. I will have
something to say to him then, and I will
