Now tlmt the worst is over, it appears
to u* that Charleston has robbed I’hila-
ielphia of her title. Philadelphia is no
longer the Quaker City.
Fortunately, the yellow fever scare
turned out to he nothing more than a
scare. Earthquakes and yellow fever to
gether would he visiting a deal of alllic-

A Chicago paper comes out this week
with pictures of all the bank presidents

((he originals than some of the wood-cuts
published in Georgia, they will lie of lit
tle service to the detectives.
In Italy there are earthquake insmance
notupanies, run on the basis of tire and

time.
Tins racing of the fancy sloops is some
what like the fancy target shooting of
tho international teams. Just as no such
shooting could ever take place in actual
practice in the field, so no such vessels

ever be engaged in practical commerce.
Turat the savage Geranium according
to law and Ids deserts, whether he shall
be hanged or locked up in prison for the
rest of Ids life. Unless one or the other
jf these sentences is the result of the
speedy trial he ought to get, the govern
ment will he accessory before, the fact to
any further murders he may commit—
and murders he will commit if he sjjall
ever again be allowed to run loose.
There is a great deal of truth in tlte
observation of the Philadelphia Record
that the want of clearness in the remarks
of the specialists about the earthquake
irises from the want of knowledge. The
ludicrous celerity with which one visit
ing professor, who lmd confidently pre
dicted a cessation oft he shocks, skipped
from a Charleston hotel to the battery on
Saturday showed that even scientific
dignity isn’t half so big a thing as the
instinct of self-preservation.
Day before yesterday the anin of cor
respondents sent down to report tlie
earthquake proceedings at Charleston
left for Imme. Tho reports yesterday
aiorning showed almost an entire cessa-
ttipn of sand geysers, cobble-stone slmwers.
ghastly crosses, slight shocks, etc. In
searching for the cause of these phennm-
»«a Prof. McGee should have bored into
and examined the bruins of some of these
reporters. He would have rewarded
science by finding the prime cause.
I’m .mi A i.kxaniikr of Battcnburg will
probably go to England, where a snug
oolonelship in one of the “crack” regi
ments is already awaiting him. He
would scarcely decline the offer, for in
England a colonelcy means a high com
mand and the chances of doing some
fighting in grim earnest at a very early
period. Die offer ot such a command
ami its acceptance would be construed
by Russia ns a studied insult on the part
uftlie British nation, but there isn't
much respect for Russian opinion, good
m-bad, in the latitude of London.
I srKAMIK COINCIl»K>iCE.
On Wednesday night last a young lady
ji Macon danced herself speechless.
Strange as it may appear,that very night,
md for ought we know at that very hour,
# dumb girl in Savannah began to talk.
To a serious and thinking mind this is a
magnificent example of the eternal
•quilibrium of forces. What the world
wins in one place it loses in another.
This rule holds good amid the great and
the small forces of nature, whether you

tongue.
The royal historical society of Great
Britain is preparing to commemorate in
October of the present year the 800th
anniversary of the Domesday survey of
Englanc(, made by William the Con
queror in lOSli. The original Domesday
book, containing a survey of all the
estates iu the realm at that date, is pre
served with great care in the British
museum, but experts persist in asserting
that it is a forgery. It is one of the
greatest sources of pride to a Britisher to

NOT WOOIM’t'TN THIN TINE.
The AtlantaCVinstitution of Friday eon-
tains a column letter describing Tallulah
Falls, written by a young lady evidently
just out of college. AVo haven’t read it,
of course; we are not doing penance now.
And it is not its composition we would
criticise, for it may he a very creditable
production. It is tho architecture of the
letter that paralyzes U8, Perhaps wo
ought to say the letter impresses us more
as a work of art Limn us a composition.
The quotations of ecstatic poetry are in-
tevsticeil so regularly between the para
graphs of proso that on first glancing at
i his beautiful description of the falls as it
runs up and down the column one can
not resist the impression that he is
gazing at the photograph of a dozen
links of sausage. As we said, the compo
sition may be creditable; indeed, we sus
pect i I is “just too sweet for anything.”
But it is as a work of art that tho letter
will become celebrated. Jf some grocer
or butcher will have it stereotyped and
framed and hung out for a sign.it will
fetch tin 1 customer that is looking for
sausage every time. It’ll “fetch” him n
hundred yards “off hand.” And after
further contemplation tills letter
looks like something else. In
fact the tumest imagination runs riot
over such an extraordinary letter. After
bnckiugotfand peeping at it askant, you
can see that it is a good picture of a
freight train climbing a hill. Itrequires
but a faint olfort of the imagination to
see that the first bulky prose paragraph
under the tripple head is a mogul en
gine. The succeeding prose paragraphs
are the. box cars, and the dainty stanzas
of poetry in between are the iron bump
ers. Ydfc, they are bumpers in more
senses than one. Railroads getting up
guide book advertisements would do
well to let their engraver tackle this let
ter with his chisel. He could engrave it
and call it a train climbing a moun
tain grade. We were about
to Say that this letter reminded us of
something else besides a freight train
and a link of sausage. But there is no
telling where these resemblances would
stop. The letter changes like a cliame-
lion every time von look at it. But
through all its changes it remains the
same incomparable, inimitable, incom
prehensible, incompatible, double-breast
ed, lie plus ultra, grand-high-coekalorum
work of art.
When a college girl with a heart full of
sentiment and a head full of adjectives
tackles Tallulah Falls, tho pen is so much
mightier than the sword that the latter
crawls into its sealibord and li ides from
very fright. In cases of this kind wary
and experienced newspapers know
enough to get out of the way of an explo
sion. We are surprised that as shrewd
a paper as the Atlanta Constitution got
hit, and Hit so hard, too.
TWO HEARTS THAT HEAT AS TWO.
Mrs. Victoria Morosini Schilling hav
ing deserted her husband and gone back
to the liosoni of her family, coachman
Schilling is unloading the family secrets
us to how his wife did tiie courting, and
is telling all he knows generally, to the
great delight of New York reporters. A
divorce suit will be begun soon, -ami the
developments promise to be salacious to
flic last degree. When the decree of di
vorce is granted the curtain will have
fallen and the farce will he ended, it
teaches a lesson, though farce as it is. It
teaches first, that marrying is not always
muting, and that a woman who selects a
husband as she would a horse sim
ply because lie is a mag
nificent animal, will lin’d to her hitter
regret, sooner or later, that -lie got what
site bargained fur, and nothing more—a
splendid animal. Schilling is illiterate,
coarse, sensual. Victoria Morisini is deli
cate, refined, cultured and tasty as most
women in her station in life. She had
been the pet daughter of a millionaire.
Such a union could produce nothing hut
misery. It was another case of “Beauty
mid the Boast,” l’oor girl ; she was fool
ish, but tilio lias paid for it. Her
youthful indiscretion will be a thorn
in her side for life. What a pity that
just when wo need experience most we
have tiie least of it—in youth.
Mr. .Schilling, who found himself the
hero of two continents just after tiie epi
sode, must be pondering upon how
ephemeral a thing fame is; for he is now
yanking a streetcar mule at two dollars a
day, with none so poor as to do him
homage. And it is not at all improbable
that some of the profanity he bestows
upon the mule is meant for fate and the
world in general.
WATCH THE SElit’KNT.
An old fable told by Pilpay might well
apply to those labor organizations in this
country that in spite of warnings and pro
testations persist in admitting anarchists
and socialists to their membership. Two
travelers, one of whom was blind, says
the fabulist, were overtaken by night on
tiie highway and camped in an adjoin
ing field. In tlie morning the blind man
picked up a snake which was dulled by
tiie cold instead of his whip. He felt
that it was pliable and smooth and re
joiced that he had found a whip so much
better tlntn his old one. llis companion,
however, seeing the mistake he had
made, called out to drop his supposed
whip as it was a serpent that, being
warmed to life, would surely poison him.
But the blind traveler said that the other
only wanted to get his whip away from
him, and that lie would pick it up as
soon as it was thrown away. All in vain
the other protested and warned the sight
less traveler, for no sooner did the morn
ing grow warm than tiie snake bit him
to death. Now, the trades unions that
admit anarchists are like the blind trav
eler with_ the snake. Just as surely as
the blind man was poisoned, just so sure
ly will the cause of labor lie corrupted
and injured by any dallying with bloody-
minded anarchy.
THE EDITOR'S liltIIIK.
MOST WHOLESOME
Young ladies who contemplate marry
ing editors would do well to paste this in
their liats, or, more properly, on their
mirrors: A couple walked into a justice
court in Lansing, Michigan, one day las!
week and asked to be married. The cere
mony was performed at once. At its
lusion tiie bride burst into tours and
I purchased a package of CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR
RAKING POWDER of Messrs. Park & Tilford, in New
York, and have made a careful analysis of the same. I find it
to consist of Pure Cream of Tartar, mingled with such other
subbed most pitifully. “What
is the matter?” asked the
groom. “Oh, my! Do forgive
me,” pleaded tho weeping wife of only a
minute, “I never told you that I didn’t
know how to cook,” Tho groom put his
arm around her tenderly and whispered,
“Don’t fret, darling. 1 won’t have any
thing for you to cook. I’m an editor.”
SNAKE MEN TO THE KKAIt.
A lady living in Athens was struck by light
ning when she was about eighteen years of age.
since then, whenever a cloud comes up, she feels
the same sensation she felt when first struck.—
Athens Oa.! Banner.
In otiier words, every time a cloud
rises the lightning strikes Iter again. It
must if she feels the same sensations. Tiie
men who have been tiptoeing in their ef
forts to tell big snake stories tliis summer
did nobly; some of them surpassed all
former records. But, poor fellows, they
must go to the rear. The Athens Banner
is munching the cake.
ingredients as render it an effective and desirable Baking
Powder, and that it does not contain any Alum, Terra Alba, or
any adulteration whatever. Ii is in my estimation among
the mest wholesome compositions for a Baking Powder of

CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR RAKING POWDER

any adulteration whatever, and having great leavening power, I

Professor Leon and cortege are iu Flovilla.
He will give a performance on the ninth instant
at the spring, to which point he has gone. Two
excursion trains will be run on that day, one
from Atlanta and the other from Macon. Great
crowds are looked for fYom the surrounding
country also.—Atlanta Constitution.
Is Prof. Leon going to bathe? Such is
the inference from the paragraph above.
From the excitement and excursion
trains and all that, he must be a sight
when lie is bathing.
Tiie entire return of taxable property, real and
personal, in Geoigia, contained in the digests
just made publio, is $300,628,153. Last year the
return of this class of property was $599,140 798.
These figures show an increase in the class of
property returned in the county tax digests of
$7,381^3.55. The total values indicated by the tax
digests do not represent the total taxable prop
erty of the state. There must be $22,038,975 which
the railroad property of the state is subject to
taxation. This will give a grand total of the tax
able property of the state of $329,107,125.
From time to time books have been published
professing to express the secrets of Freemasonry,
but it was reserved for the earthquake to give
away an important feature in the process of Ma
sonic initiation. While a lodge of Masons was in
session at Cleveland, O., and the initiation of a
candidate was in progress, the shock scared the
candidate so badly that he rushed through the
streets with a cable about his waist. When the
next mishap reveals the billy-goat, the red-hot
poker and the coffin feminine curiosity as to the
Masonic ordeal will be effectually laid to rest.

fortune wander along the banks of Jordan to the ghastly portals of suicide.
