There is a prospect that the Knights of

Ibe general impression has been all

(that ihere is no use try

Knights and liquor dealers have got
everything their own way and will elect
Ilieir'tieket anyhow, but a majority of toe

among themselves. The solid support of
jliie liquor interest which they counted on
iis not forthcoming, and the ticket which

THE KNIGHTS’ SUPPORT.
The Knights seem to be in a rather bad
Jrvav and are not encouraged at the out
look. The men they looked upon as their
Strongest candidates are not likely to re
reive anything like the support promised.

The steamer Katie went up the river to

Capt. Gibson yesterday dispatched Mr.

IS IT A BE A SERPENT?
One of Wiggins’ Wrigglers Discov
oovered in Savannah Waters.
The recent earthquakes which have dis
turbed this Immediate part of the conti
nent have been the subject of much scien
tific investigation. The result promises
to beeven more startling than the earth
quake itself. For example. Wiggins
declares that, he has accidentally stum
bled upon the origin of tbe much abused
boa serpent, and he submits facts and fig
ures to prove his theory. He declares
that the convulsions ot the earth cause
the bottom of the sea to open, and from
ttieo openings many new and unknown
Htnpaihious monsters appear.
According to Wiggins tbe sea ser
pent lately seen oft' tbe New Jersey coast
canto through one of these openings in
the earth, and is only one of
hundreds of like marine monsters that
will soon be seen in different bodies of
water. He says that in Uie immediate
locality ol tbe earthquake disturbance
these curious water animals are likely to
be more numerous than at remote places.
One of tbe curious “critters” which
W’iggins may nave had in his mind wrig
gled itself out of a hydrant in Butler’s
drug store yesterday, and was put on ex
hibition and seen by hundreds or people.
The “monster” Is evidently not vet full
grown. It, is about four inches long with
a slimy body and a head somewhat re
sembling that of a moccasin. Along its
back Is a mane of something that looks
like bristles. There is nothing very orna
mental about the animal, ard it would
never be likely to become a favorite as a
household pet.
The young man who tends the soda
water fountain was leisurely dipping the
tumblers under a faucet, dreaming ot
anything except sea serpents, when he
ws startled at tbe apparition of a veri
table monster wriggling Its slimy head
through the faucet. Dropping the tum
bler he backed tip against tbe marble
counter, and calling tde clerks to his as
sistance the serpent was captured. It
proved to be a genuine orthodox am
phibian and wriggled on land as well as
in water.
Its proclivities nre unmistakably for
water. One gentleman who examined
tbe “monster” said it was an eel, hut his
theory was scouted, aad the thing will go
on record as a veritable serpent.
ThPre is some talk of sending it to Wig
gins.

that the railroad company would pay

will commence work on Oct. 1, and the
road will be pushed speedily to
completion. The western extension
has now on it a force of one hundred
and fifty bands. Col. James M. Smith, of
Oglethorpe county, is the contractor, and
the road will be completed to the beauti
ful valley of tbe Chattahoochee at an
early day. The bonds of the company are
being rapidly taken at above par, as each
section of ten miles is graded. The bonds
bear 7 per cent, interest and are secured

The Buena Vista Katlioad.
An Americus special says that when
tbe Buena Vista railroad was projected,
owing to failure of the Buena Vistaand
Americus peoplo to agree upon necessary
preliminaries, the road was located so as
to tap the Southwestern at Andersonville
instead of Americus. It is now stated
that a majority of tiie stockholders desire
the terminus of the road changed to
Americus, which can easily be
done by grading eight miles
from Americus to Lacrosse, at
a cost of about $16,000, which Americus
will gladly do wherever the movement
assumes tangible shape. The only serious
question in the way is w hether the “Cen
tral combination” will agree tor the
change to be made. It is understood that
the Central railroad, by furnishing the
iron and rolling stock, obtained a control
ling into rest in the management of the
road.
WORK AND WORRY.
BY CHRISTINE TKRHUNK HERRICK.
[CoTij/riuhred, 1.886. J
A mistaken idea that should have been
abolished ere this is that any one can
keep bouse. As well say that any one
can run a business, practice a trade or
direct a vessel. All these employments
have to be diligently studied before they
can be mastered. The snrne routine
should be pursued in titling girls tor
homes ol their own. Many mothers are
beginning to see this, having learned bit
ter lessons from their own inexperience.
The daughters, too. with that practical
good sense which characterizes a large
proportion ot tbe much maligned Amer
ican girls, are taking matters into their
own hands, attending cooking classes
and making practical tests of their
efficiency at home. Few womanly
women regard married lile rs the long,
bllsslu) holiday lovers and poets are fond
of promising. The matter-of-fact view
of the subject presents itself at the outset,
and tbe girl wno has not served an appren
ticeship to domestic hindrances and
vexatious might well look forward with
dread to the new path that opens before
her.
Nor is the way strewn with blossoms
alone for those who have had the advan
tages of home tuition. Keeping house for
a mother to whom to turn (or advice,
whose trained servants goodnaturedly
strive to make thlDgs easy for what they
consider the young lady’s whim, is a very
different, affair from the same business
pursued with undivided responsibility and
with unaccustomed assistance. New
developments are constantly arising anil
tbe little tasks that seemed almost to
perform themselves at home suddenly
reveal themselves as stubborn difficulties
to lie overcome by personal efl'oft.
The housekeeper, whether experienced
or the reverse, makes a great blunder
when she does not take into Recount tbe
force ot friction. One of the first things
for her to learn is tbe power of Oiling the
domestic machinery, to save both it and
herself unnecessary wear and tear. Still,
while many a woman may so direct her
household affairs that they run smoothly,
it may he at the price of such a strain
upon herself that the silccess will cost
her dear. Due of the crying sins, if it de
serves to be called by so harsh name, of
the ambitious, bustling bousewiie is wor
ry. She lies awake at night thinking ot
what, has gone wrong during the day and
planning how she shall remedy it on the
morrow, dwells upon the thought that the
pickles may be tormenting, or tbe pre
serves spoiling, bemoans herself over
tbe rapid lowering of the contents of tbe
flour barrel, and groans mentally at the
thought of the housekeeping bills. She
wakes unrolresbed and more prone thnn
ever to fall a victim to the dozen worries
that are awaiting her descent totheoulin
ary department, in tbe shape of a late
break last, a sou rf MCi and oook, an untidy
oellaror an tins wept dining room. Wor
ries crowd about her steps all day and
she develops rapidly into one of'those
women of whom people say pityingly:
“She takes life hard, poor thing!”
No woman who hns known a house
keeper’s cares and perplexities enn make
ligbtof these, nor can she condemn un
reservedly the tendency to worry. It is
often a misfortune of temperament or
nerves and not a fault of temper. Never
theless, tbe fact that it grows rapidly by
exercise renders it incumbent upon every
woman to do all she can to minimize the
frettul disposition tbat makes such
anxieties a burden not to the bearers
alone but to all about them. Care-taking
must be doue bv someone, and untotJiiD
ately it is not seldom tnat the load de
volves upon one pair of shoulders, while
other people with a thoughtlessness that
is not only cruelty beouuse it Is thought
less toss their ow n cares and responsi
bilities upon the already overloaded
worker.
There are critics who do not hesitate to
condemn those who cater to tbe needs of
tbe physical nature as lar below those
whose minds are set upon spritual things.
Doubtless, if tvs bad all arrived at such a
pitch ol sanctity as to be independent of
inxterial wants, there would be no neces
sity for laborin ' to ciotbfi and feed these
perishing bodies. But generally those
who inveigh most loudly against being
bound by the ties of flesh are those who
enjoy tolerably well personal ease and
immunity lrom anxiety. As to eaoh one
in this world is allotted his share of work
and annoyance, It follows that when one
refuses to assume his portion othors must
take it up and bear it for biin.
An elderly lady, who had become in
doctrinated with decidedly mystical
views of religion held as her firm belief
tbat it was sinful for immortal souls to
waste the span of life granted them in
sordid attention to food, clothing, and
equally unimportant affairs. Thoroughly
consistent in her practice of the theory,
she religiously refrained lrom be
stowing any attention upon the
I care of her bouse, her hus
band or her children. She spent whole
days in prayer and meditation, and pro
fessed to be exalted above tbe belittling
claims tbat bind most women. Happily
for her unfortunate family, she had an
elder daughter, who threw herself into
tbe breach. Up n Lena devolved tbe
business of directing domestic matters
I and making home attractive for her father
and brothers. The mother accepted it all
as a matter of course, although she
1 mourned constantly to her friends over
. the low tone of Lena’s religious life.
W bile a high spiritual standard oannot
for a moment be made light of, it may yet
be rendered compatible with a regard for
tbe welfare ol those about one. One may
be done witboutleavingtheother undone.
Humanity is often hastily classified in its
religious life into Marys and Marthas,
many seeming to think that the holy de
votion of the one sister accentuates the
other’s care for material affairs. But it
may be borne in tnind that If Martha had
not busied herself in preparing the food
for the Master Mary could not have sat
at His feet. Nor did our Lord reprove the
more aotive sister tor the’-mucb serving”
but only that she permitted herself to be
cumbered with it. Was she not an anti
type of the overdriven and worried house
wife of to-day f
“ When He. who sad and weary, longing sore.
For love’s sweet servioe sought the sister’s
door.
One saw the heavenly one the human guest.
But who shall say which loved the Master
best?”
Base Ball and Psychology.
Am m the Washington /ratchet,
“Did you ever notice.” said a base ball
expert recently, “tbe manner in which a
group of base ball players arrange them
selves when they indulge in curbstone
conversation?”
The Hatchet never bad.
“Well.” continued the expert, “they
form a circle, and are ill at ease if there
are not enough present to make a well
| defined one—that is, 1 should say, they
form a circle in the early part of a ourb
! “tone seance or when conversation flags.
; This, however, is not so strange. But
when conversation is heated or an ani
mated discussion on the game is under
way a close observer may note a marked
diamond-like arrangement of the athletic
conversationalists.”
“Force of habit, probably,” remarked
the Hatchet.
“It may be partly that, but I think
there must be some deeper psychological
clause at tbe bottom of it. I first observed
this peculiarity of base ballists several
years ago. and have studied it on and off
ever since. Why, 1 have seen five or six
players on tbe same nine who—started a
conversation with a most irregular ar
rangement so tar as their respective po
sitions were concerned—at last, in tbe
heat of base ballistic discussion, assume
the prescribed arrangement. But that’s a
rather clumsy statement of what
l want to get at. I guess I’d
better illustrate. Suppose now—
and don’t you laugh until I’m
through—that the catcher is leaning
against the tree box. with the basemen,
the pitcher and the left and centre fielders
facing him, and each one in a position
which does not belong to him relatively to
that of tbe catcher. As their conversa
tion progresses, provided it becomes any
way warm, you will see the different
members of the group shitting their posi
tions by. degrees. And at last, if they
linger a sufficient time and become ani
mated enough, the pitcher will stand di
rectly in front ol the ealcher, tbe first base
man will stand to the left of tbe pitcher,
the third baseman will stand to tbe right
of the pitcher on a line with tbe first, and
second baseman will stand in the rear of
the pitcher, while in the background the
left fielder will cover his appropriate po
sition and the centre fielder will be seen
peering over the shoulder of the second
baseman. Hounds like the story of Little
Dame Crump’s pig, doesn’t It? Butit’s a
fact nevertheless.”
The Hatchet shortly wandered off in a
brown study as to how psychology could
possibly have any connection with base
ball.
