Col. E. W. Cole.
This accomplished railroader has been
elected to the Presidency of the Nashville
and Chattanooga railroad, in Tennessee,
and, we learn, will accept the position.
In this event, the Georgia railroad will
lose his services as Superintendent, which
office he has filled with eminent ability for
several years.
The Nashville and Chattanooga road is
Col. Cole’s “ first love,” he having been
its Superintendent before the war.
Investigation Closed,
The investigation of witnesses in the
case of Lieutenant of Police, Chas. Evans,
charged with being an accessory to the
murder of Red, was concluded yesterday
it being the eighth day of the trial.
Mr. Picquet, on the part of the prosecu
tion, and Col. Wm. R. McLaws, for the
defence, addressed the Court yesterday.
Attorneys Hook, ’Aldrich and Twiggs, for
the defendant, and Mr. Hilliard, for the
State, have yet to speak.
It is to be presumed that the case will be
finally disposed of to day.
Deaf and Dumb Asylum.
We have received the “ Twelfth Report of
the Board of Commissioners of the Georgia
Institution for the Education of the Deaf
and Dumb, at Cave Spring, Georgia."
There are’ forty-three pupils at present in
attendance —twenty-seven males and sixteen
females.
Mint Julep.
Attention has recently been drawn to the
fact that Milton more than two hundred
years ago mentioned in his “ Com us” the
American drink of “ mint julep,” in tire
following lines: „ . .
“ And first behold this cordial julep here,
That flames and dances in his crystal bounds,
With spirits of balm and fragrant syrups
mixed.”
A Suggestion.
The street railroad company arc now sell
ing commutation tickets in the shape of
coupons—the conductor tearing off a coupon
for each ride. This coupon plan is a good
one; but one of the regulations connected
with it is wrong. This regulation is, that if
the purchaser of a lot of tickets separates
the coupon himself, the coupon thus sepa
rated is valueless. Inasmuch as the com
pany receives pay for every coupon issued, it
should follow that each one should be gftod
for a ride, whether detached or not. The
conductors of the line are very competent
gentlemen, doubtless, but it strikes us that
citizens can tear off coupons they have paid
for just as well its agents of the railroad
company.

Henziae,
An article used in Paris for cleaning
watches, under the name of “ Essence
Lemoine," proves to be nothing but pure
benzine, combined with some substance to
give it a more pleasant odor. Benzine,
however, answers a most excellent purpose
in this connection, as it certainly removes
all the grease and dirt, without disturbing
the gilding or affecting the shellac cement
used for fastening in the jewels.

Gambling.
The gold gamblers are on the rampage
just now in spite of the dog days, and have
jumped up the price among the fifties. The
tide will soon turn, and the sharpers will
laugh at the wrecks high and dry upon tho
shore. This whole trade of buying and
selling gold is nothing more than a game of
faro. The grain gamblers in Chicago bet
upon the price of wheat, and fortunes are
made and lost in a day. The propensity of
mankind to run the hazard of the die seems
as irresistible as that for strong drink. Gold
happens to be the article best adapted at
this juncture for the game of chance,
owing to its inconvertibility into paper
money—that’s all of it
To-Day’s Eclipse.
The solar eclipse that is to take place to
day will be total. Special expeditions Os
astronomers and photographers are to be
sent out the Governments of Great
Britain, France, Austria, Germany and Italy,
to observe and record the important phe
nomenon, which is to be of nearly seven
minutes’ duration. As it will be visible in
its totality only from the portions of the
surface of our glo*be adjacent to the equator,
Ihe various expeditions will have to undergo
the hardships of a summer journey to tropi
cal regions. Most of them are already under
w ay. At Aden, at the mouth of the Red
Sea, where the eclipse will be observable at
sun-rise, as the most convenient point from
Europe, the greater number of these special
scientific envoys will congregate. In the
course of the day, the total eclipse will be
visible in India, on the islands of Borneo
and Celebes, the Spice Islands, and toward
si’o-sel io New Guiana. In all of these
■ocanties careful observations are expected
to be made.
Coroner** Inqueutt,
There i* a geperal impr*NHHi Ural the
coroner’* pffic 9 is used to l|rge
merely to make fees uptJfi dealt bod les (Hliat
inquests and autopsies are made where there
can be no question of the cause of death ;
where the cause and manner are known to
many where the canto is a natural
one and can bo certified by the attending
physician, and where the causes and circum
stances preclude any supposition of crime.
It is the public belief that the duty of the
coroner y to ikquiri jtjfo deaths, where tho
cause 08 manner is unknown or mysterious,
or where there is reason to suppose that a
responsibility attaches to other parties, or
where there is cause to suspect that a crime
has been done, for the purpose of finding
out tho unknown cause, tracing thoresponsi
bility in case of casual death, and tracing
the criminal, in easo of death by foul
dealing.
We notice that, in a late statistical
report, the coroner of New York states as
an omission needing reform, the disposition
ta ignore the fact of intemperance in
rendering verdicts, as a producing cause of
casualties, and of hastening death by
disease. If such an inquiry were pursued,
where would it end ? It would expand the
duties of tho coroner vastly beyond his
public province. In cases of violent death,
where an inquest is necessary, if intem
perance is the cause, it naturally comos
under inquiry and into the verdict. But if
in cases of death from heart disease, apo
plexy or any other disease where intem
perance may have been un accelerating
cause, the coroner is to inquire and report
on that habit, why not into all the habits
which are supposed to be in violation of tho
laws of health ?
This would be an infinite extension in the
line where the Coroner’s inquiries have
already been too greatly extended. The law
does not make him the supervisor of the
health or habits of the community, nor even
of its dead. It allows people to die and be
buried without his revision. It mgajis that
he shall not permit people to be taken mys
teriously out of the world, nor buried, with
out an inquiry, when there is a cause to
suspect that a crime has been committed.
If restricted to this public duty, the expenses
of the Coroner’s office would be greatly re
duced. We consider ail that is done outside
of this illegitimate.
The • Morpheus.’
We paid a brief visit, yesterday, at the
Union Depot, to this aptly termed palace on
wheels—the ‘Morpheus’—which is to be run
over the Georgia Railway, by the enterprising
managers of the Pullman, Kimball &
Ramsey Company.
The ‘Morpheus’ is fifty-six feet long, teti
and a half feet wide, and fourteen feet, six
inches high. At either end of the car is an
elegant toilet saloon, with marble slabs,
silver trimmings, splendid mirrors, and all
necessary fixtures, for ladies and gentlemen.
These saloons are divided from the main
portion of the car by an elaborately finished
partition of embossed plate glass and black
walnut. The centre of the car is divided
into ten sectious of two double berths each,
one state room, and one elegantly fitted
drawing room, which has ope single and two
double berths, two large easy chairs, table,
large mirrors, etc.
The inside wood work is of black walnut,
surmounted w.th handsome carvings,
tastefully embellished with gilding. The
ceiling and upper berths are elegantly
frescoed, which gives a very cheerful
appearance. Each berth is furnished with
a handsome mirror, and at the end of the
car is a long mirror giving full length
view. In centre of the car are two large
closets, the fronts of which arc fine plate
glass mirrors.
The sofas are trimmed with moquett, and
the carpets and curtains ate the finest ever
brought to this country. Each bed or
berth is furnished with a good, thick hair
mattress, linen sheets, large pillows, and
the most beautiful blankets we ever saw.
In brief, the entire internal arrangement
and appearance of the spacious coach
resembles the saloon of an elegant first
class steamer, so little has it in common
with the cramped and confined look of
ordinary coaches. The taste displayed in
every particular is not susceptible of any
improvement.
The ‘ Morpheus’ was built at the works
of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad,
Nashville, Tennessee, at a cost of somq
$28,000.
Conrlciiaa lion.
In America, and also abroad, the tendency
of literary manifestations, for several years
past, has been towards condensation. This
is notably the ease iu Ahe newspaper press,
daily and weekly, and it is also displaying
itself in magazine literature. The average
length of articles has been materially re
duced. The uewspapcr with short, pungent
paragraphs, io which the intelligence that is
to be given is boiled down into the fewest
possible words, is always preferred to one
which stretches its articles but irfto columns
of useless adjectives. People who want to
find out what is going 0:1, prefer to do it in
as short a time as possible, and from a sheet
filled with scores of condensed paragraphs,,
they can learn much more than if the same,
space is devoted to a small number of
lengthy articles.

Good Advice.
An editor once said to a young man who
was about to wed the scissors and paste :
My young friend, you are about to become,
I learn, an editor of a newspaper. Permit
an old man to give you this advice. If you
desire success in that capacity, you should
in each paper publish one column for a
sensible man and two for a fool.”
New Dree*.
Two young ladies were holding converse
over a new dress. “ And does it fit well ?”
asked one. “ Fit ? Yes, as if I’d. been
melted and poured in 1”
Chalk Lin*.
Ants, black and red, have a great antip
athy to chalk- A line of ibis substance, half

either of stone. or wood, is a “dead line,”
which they dare not cross.

Dsatii of the Largest Man in Ken
tucky.—A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier says:
I will give you a small sketch of the life
and death of tho largest man, perhaps,
that ever lived in the State of Kentucky.
William G. Willis died at a small village in
Boone county by the name of Bullittsville,
qn Wednesday, the 20th of July, of apo
plexy. He was sick but a few hours. He
was without doubt the largest man in the
State, weighing five hundred pounds on the
day he died. Hia average weight varied
during the las’ few years from five hundred
and twenty down as low as four hundred
ninety pounds, but he was weighing even
five hundred pounds at the time of his
death. His height wa* about six feet. He
was keeping a toll-gate at the time of his
death, and the passers by had to go to him
to pay their toll in place of him going to
them. He of late has been in
Barnum’s Museum, m New New York,
but left there about them about the time
the museum was burned last fall.
Cows that hold up milk, Mr. Johnson says,
can be cured if they will drink sour milk.
After drinking, and as soon as they begin to
lick the pail, they will give down freely. He
has tried it with cows that would give about
two-thirds the proper quantity, retaining the
other portion. Then lie uives them the milk
tj drink, and waits until they begin to lick
the pail, when he has no trouble in obtaining
the remainder. He has tried meal, salt, and
various things, but found nothing to produce
s*ch an effect as sour milk.— N. K Tribune.
