OONKIPFNCK IN TItK Ol P TICKET. Ibe general impression has been all long that the old ticket i an here-elected. iTftere were a few who said (that ihere is no use try ing to do anything, that the Knights and liquor dealers have got everything their own way and will elect Ilieir'tieket anyhow, but a majority of toe railing Democrat a took a different view I: it. The Knights are already split up among themselves. The solid support of jliie liquor interest which they counted on iis not forthcoming, and the ticket which ■ nev boasted would sweep everything be- I re it has been materially weakeued. 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. Uku independent movement was talked fit toe day after the meet ing, bu l nothing was done until yesterday, •wticMi a tew leading Democrats met and (organized a plan of action.

Savannah r,B who havo been spending the summer it the various resorts are returning home very day, and but few will linger through ext month, though their tickets do not xpire until Nov. 1. The winter travel from the North is ex pected to be uriususlly heavy and will be am earlier than it did last year. A treat inanv N<Ttbern tourists will doubt jes* stai t South a little earlier than usual, po as to stop over in Charleston awhile view tbs ruins. ! A well known railroad man was in Chattanooga a tew days ago and there met a number of passenger ageits repre iienting various Northern and "Western roads, all ol whom predicted a heavy ravel to the South during the winter. Florida has become the Mecca of winter jurist*, and her attractions are inereas ng every year. The band of Indians re cently captured in Arizona and ordered to Florida by the government Bill doubtless draw thousands of puriosity seekers to the State. They are JonMiltrcd so much ot an attraction that number of leading resorts are offering miuoemants to ret them, f The flow of Northern travel has but barely begun as yet, and wilt not amount to much until November.

Much lias been eliminated, but nothing ti at would detract trom the strength, end it is still the powerful tragedy which Davenport made Inmous. Mr. Hangs has been known during the past three years Wa “Wilfred Denver” In the “Silver Icing.” He ha* always played before fcrowded houses here, and last night, 1- (though the audience was not so large, he accorded a reception of which ?ny setor might be proud.

She was 1 being leaded at the time, and some of the , rice w as damaged by water. The receipts yesterday of cotton were 1 over 7,000 bales, and the sales were over 3,100. the largest receipts for one day I and the largest day’s business since the season opened. Prices of spot cotton were advanced %c. all round. Messrs. A. Minis & Sons cleared yes terday the British steamship Kate for Liverpool with 5.722 bales ot upland cot ton. weighing 2.8.78.877 pouuda, valued at | $268,034. This is the first cargo to Great Britain from this port this season. The steamer Katie went up the river to Parachucla yesterday, to bring back ac cumulated freights which she was una ble to bring on her downward trip. She will return to-day. The river boats are taxed to their utmost capacity in carry ing freights at this time of the year. There is no change in the condition of the Ethel. The preliminaries of her rais ing are delayed lor want ot a suitable pump to pump the water out of her hold. Capt. Gibson yesterday dispatched Mr. •Martin to Charleston fora pump to do the work. One could have been obtained here, but the owner wanted an exorbitant price for its rental. Mr. Martin will probably return to-dav with the pump, and efforts will be made immediately to raise the sunken steamer. Capt. B. Ilaudneff, master of the Nor wegian bark Vaan, died Sunday evening at the residence of Mr. Larsen. The Cap tain had been sick but a few days. His vessel cleared several days ago’ with a cargo of naval stores lor Hull, and the Captain was awaiting an opportunity to go to sea when he was stricken down. He leaves a wife and tivechlldren in Norway. His eldest son accompanied him on his In“t. voyage. The vessel will he taken across by the first mate. The flags ol the different Norwegian vessels in port we r o at half mast during the day in respect to the memory of the deceased Captain. 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.

Items Gathered Al ms i* l '’ Track and Crossties. Tbe State taxes of the Georgia Pacific railroad wore paid into the State Treasury Saturday. The amount was $3,604 04. There is a rumor in Atlanta railroad ctrcles that the principal offices of the Georgia railroad will ba moved to Atlanta next January. Must Have tbo Company’s Order, A railroad conductor employed a physi cian to attend an injured brakeman. The physician, after examination, informed tbe conductor tnat It would be necossary to employ assistance, and the latter in structed the former to employ such assist ance as ho deemed necessary, saying that the railroad company would pay them. The Supreme Court of Indiana re cently held that the contract to employ assistance wss beyond the scope ot tbe conductor’s authority, and would not bind the company. Ssmlersvtllc, Gibson and Augusta. Hon. T. L. Jones and Hon. H. Clay Fos ter could not agree on an umpire in the matter of the disputed tax returns of the Sandersville, Gibson and Augusta rail road. In constquence, Gov. McDaniel has appointed Hon. Tyler M. Peeples, pf Lawrenceville, and Hon. R. C. Hutnber, of Eatonton, arbitrators to represent the State. The road will appoint an arbitra tor as its representative. Tbe law pro vides that where the arbitrators ap pointed by the Comp'roller General and a railroad company cannot agree on an umpire, that the Governor shall appoint two new arbitrators and tbe company one. It was in accordance with this law that Messrs. Peeples and Humber were ap pointed. The arbitration will take place to-day. Americas, Preston and Lumpkin, An Americus special says that the con tract for gradiug the Americus, Preston and Lumpkin Railroad Company to Oc raulgee river has been let to Messrs. Per kins Bros., and two other prominent rail road contractors ot Birmingham. They 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 bv a first mortgage on all the property of tbe road. 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.
