A Hiul,
Before the constituted authorities make
another inspection of the “sinks,’' which in
many quarters are very offensive, it is
suggested that one pound of copperas and
sulphate of iron, dissolved in one gallon of
cold water (or, if the place be large, two
pounds to two gallons of water), thrown in
the sink, will purify or dispel all the
effluvia in a few hours. And if this is
repeated every few weeks, all unpleasant
smells will be entirely dissipated from such
sources. The remedy is cheap, and said to
he effective.
Holfl Your Horses.
There are too many drivers who are
lashing their horse3 into full speed during
this very warm weather. Such drivers
ought not to be entrusted with the manage
uwntof horses. Many of these brutes, more
| human than their drivers, fall to the ground,
*hile making the most arduous exertions to
tag along their vehicles. A little common
sense ought to be exercised in this manner,
j Ol the horses and drivers should be com
pelled to change places for a few days,
*hicb, we opine, would regulate the matter.

nm
Chciip B‘ure«.
Georgia has done much for tho railroads
in our State, and wo think it is high tirao
that tho railway companies should do
something for the peoplo of Georgia.
The rates of travel, on all our railways,
are out of all proportion—they are exor
bitant. Just think of it: if a man in our
city has the occasion or inclination to
visit Atlanta (less than one hundred and
eighty miles distant), tho trip by rail
thence and return, at present rate, will
cost him seventeen dollars .'
It seenrs clear to our mind that this high
priced fare is short-sighted policy, for
innumerable reasons obvious to the com
prehension of even casual observers. And
we venture tho assertion, that if tho fare
alluded to above—simply by way of illus
tration—were reduced say one half, the
railway management would bo the gainer
thereby. Wo all know with what avidity
“excursion” tickets at a fair price arc
purchased, when issued by any of our
railroad companies—and wo have yet to
learn of loss sustained in consequence by
the road.
Our people, generally, stay at home too
much—not from choico, but from ncccssity i
the necessity imposed by tho current rates
of travel. Many families, for instance, in
our city, would like to visit friends in
Atlanta, and vice versa, if the cost of travel
were reasonable, or even what it was in
aide bcllum times.
We may recur to this subject again. *
The I-'asliioiia.
The spring and summer toilettes are
really quite charming this year. The
mania for gold ornaments and 'tinsel, glass
beads and false glitter, is on tho wane.
Bad taste, like all vulgar things, soon fails,
and we notico with pleasure a reaction in
favor of greater simplicity of dress.
Dresses and paletots aro fasbionod of the
same material, and the trimmings, for those
who love a toilet recherche, aro composed of
either puffings or flounces, likewise of the
same tissue as the dress wrapping. Some
times the skirt of light brown, or lilac, or
a shot silk, is covered with a peplum of
black silk. The skirt is decorated at tho
bottom with a narrow flounce, and the
peplum trimmed all around the edges and
sleeves with a narrow black flounce. A
wide ribbon belt, with fringed ends of the
same color on the garment, is always worn.
The chapeau, although not increased in
size, has gained in becomingness. The
addition of the manlillc in Spanish, or
Chantilly lace, adds grace to the coiffure .
conceals the ravages of time when the face
has lost its first bloom, and adds a charm
to the beauty of eighteen summers. *
A Word to Sign Painters,
A few hints to those “men of letters,” our
sign painters, may not come amiss. While
the execution of many of our business
signs, so far as lettering is concerned,
compares favorably with that of those in
any of our sister cities, we regret that there
is so much need of improvement in the use
of points and in the pluralization of nouns.
It is quite common to perceive the Chris
tian name of the proprietor of a store
separated from his surname by a comma
or by a period. This is incorrect. No
punctuation is allowable except at the
termination, and then a period should he
used, unless there be a doable line on the
sign. When that double line is introduced
to designate the character or kind of the
business, a comma is the point which should
be introduced after the surname of the
individual, and the second lino should be
elosed with a picriod.
Signs frequently read “grocery and pro
duce.” Thu storekeeper means that ho lias
groceries and produce for sale, lie does not
contemplate selling (hegrocery, which moans
the store wherein he places his goods for dis
posal to his customers. Wc frequently per
ceive upon signs, “Lumber, blinds, sash.”
The last mentioned word should be in the plu
ral, sashes. So of the word “harness”
when combined with “saddles.” The
latter word is in the plural, and the letters
cs should be added to harness, so as to put
both words in the plural. Will our sign
painters reflect upon these matters, so that
our signs may be in accordance with
correct orthography and punctuation ?
Swindling Schemes.
There is a large number of persons in our
greater cities who live by cheating their more
honest fellow-citizens. The greenhorns in
the country are their particular victims,
whom they pluek most remorselessly. Mayor
Hoffman, of New York, is daily in receipt
of a large number of letters from persons
who have been taken in by the contrivors of
some captivating scheme to enrich the fools
who embrace it. The most of these are
bare-faced frauds. They do not have the
grain of common sense that was contained
in the advice of one of these swindlers, who
promised to give, for a dollar, a rule which
would insure a fortune to the persons who
followed it. lie advised those who applied
for the “golden rule,” to “work like the devil
and not spend a cent.” Now, will not people
learn that no man will give them a great
prize of any kind for a small price ? In the
nature of things it can not be done. What
ever is done, the prize has been paid for by
the money filched from other people’s purses
by some process that sound morality would
not sanction. People in the country will not
find benefactors in the city, who advertise
their willingness to do the verdant folks a
great favor. Don't be captivated by the
glittering baubles which are swung before
your eyes in the columus of a city paper or
a mailed circular. The nearer you get to
them, the less valuable they appear. In one
word, don’t be a fool. *
l WOULD NOT LIVE ALWAY.
IJ :
I would nut live ulway; the oonflicU of life
No weary my soul, I would reel from the strife;
Midst scenes of contention no longer would
rove;
The hone pf my heart is the dwelling of lore.
Here sorrows oppress ine; while friend after
friend
Has coased the sweet sid of nffeotlon to tend.
O Death, they are thine ! mid I turn from their
tomb;
But luue is my soul in thy shadow o( gloom.
1 would noUive alwayk lilts earth osunot givo
A rest for the spirit that evar mutt
Too gross are its pleasures, too feeble its fires
To furnish repast for immortal desires.
Far, far o’er the limits of earth and of time,
In infinite Impo, looks the spirit sublimo ;
And rapt with the wonders tho vision reveals,
Would fly for the glory whose earnest it fools.
Children’ll Concerts.
Especial efforts are being mode by
churches in olher cities for tho entertainment
of Sabbath School children on week days.
We do uot pay sufficient attention to the
little people. It is urged that it is all very
well to teaqb children from the Word of God
on one day ot the week,- and this is all the
large majority arc taught. The question
then is, can they not be led out of the wrong
way into the right by placing before them,
for their especial enjoy ment, an excellent
class of amusements, real amu ements, none
of that character which savor of long lec
tures and prosy speeches by men in whom
the milk of human kindness has long since
dried and blown away in dust. Much
attention is being given in some other
localities of teaching Sabbath School child
ren to sing and then appear in classes
before their friends and members of the
school. Such concerts arc said to exert the
best influence, especially upon hoys. It
assists in carrying them over that critical
period in life when bashfulness and deviltry
strive for the ascendancy. The restraint and
discipline of music, and, above all, the
placing of a boy in a responsible position
where ho is expected to maintain himself
creditably, lessens his natural awkwardness
and cultivates ami refines his disposition.

The Arkansas Bill.
Washington, June 20.—1n his veto
message of the Arkansas Admission bill,
the President says:
The approval of this bill would be an
admission that tho act for the moro efficient
government of tho rebel States, and acts
supplementary thereto, were proper and
constitutional; whereas, the President’s
opinion is unchanged in this respect, hut
rather strengthened by results attending
their execution, If Arkansas is not u
State, this bill does not admit her ; if she
is a State, no legislation is necessary to her
representation in Congress. Each House,
under the Constitution, judges the election
returns and qualifications of its members,
and nothing is necessary to restore Arkan
sas hut a decision by each House of tho
eligibility of those presenting credentials.
This is a plain and eimplo plan of tho
Constitution, had it been adopted in 18G5
instead of legislation of doubtful constitu
tionality, and therefore unwise and dan
gerous, long since have
been accomplished.
The President again recommends the
adoption ol the Constitutional plan. The
terms proposed ure scarcely applicable to a
Territory, and certainly not to a State which
has had an accepted place in the Union for
over a quarter ol a century. Tho President
is unable to find authority lor the conditions
of the bill in the Federal Constitution. The
elective franchise is reserved by tho Const!
tutiou to the States themselves The bill
fails to provide how Arkansas shall signify
its acceptance ol the fundamental conditions,
nor docs it prescribe penalties for their
nullification.
It is seriously questioned whether the
Constitution has been ratified according to
law, and it assumed to he in force before
its adoption. The Arkansas Constitution
restricted franchise on its ratification by
tests unknown in the Reconstruction Acts.
Among them is tho acceptance of political
and civil rights of all men. It is well
known that a largo portion, if not a
largo majority of the electors, do not
accept this test, and if applied to voters
North there is reason to believe many of
them would remain away from the polls
rather than to comply with its degrading
conditions.
The President concludes :
Should the people ol Arkansas, therefore,
desiring to regulate tho elective franchise so
as to make it conform to the Constitution of
a large proportion of the States ol the North
and West, modify the provisions referred to
iu the fundamental condition, what is to be
the consequence? Is it intended that a
denial of representation shall follow?—and
if so, may we not dread, at some tuturc day,
a recurrence ol the troubles which have so
long agitated the country ? Would it not be
the part of wisdom to take for our guide the
Federal Constitution rather than resort to
measures which, looking only to the present,
may in a few years renew, iu an aggravated
form, the strife aud bitterness caused by
legislation which has proved to be ill-timed
and unfortunate.
