Last Sunday’s issue of the Columbus En- quireu-Sun is by all odds the handsomest paper ever issued in Georgia. There are twenty-eight pages, all filled with evidences of Columbus’ en terprise and prosperity. The papers seem to have been carefully prepared and are all interest ing, giving the reader a fair idea of the magni tude and variety of the city’s trade. The citi zens of Columbus should feel proud of this issue of the Enquirer, as it is a finer monument than any that could be made of biass or marble. — Americus Recorder. IT WAS A DAISY. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun’s trade edition of last Sunday of twenty-eight pages is a daisy. It is beautifrilly printed, and is a complete epi tome of the history of the business interests and enterprises of Columbus. It makes a magnificent j showing for the Lowell of the South, and proves conclusively that no city in this section has made i greater snides in commercial and manufacturing | progress than she has. The number before us is j a credit to the city as well as the olhce from j which it emanated.—Gainesville Eagle. AHEAD OF ITS TOWN. Yes, it was the biggest thing ever gotten up in j this section. It took time, money, intelligence j and labor to get that up. This trinity of human j elements is all represented there, and it is a ! credit to every man who contributed to its J creation; it is a credit to Columbus, too. In ! fact, the Enquirer-Sun is in advance of Colum- , bus, and it is because her people do not keep ] step to the music it makes, that Columbus is i still behind. There are a great many “fossilized reminiscen ces” in Columbus, and the Enquirer is all the time pricking them with its progressive spear but has a hard job to wake them up. But it wul succeed.; Under its influence the queen city will put on her robes of state and in the not distant future will be all the Enquirer is striving for. Go ahead, gentlemen, the brain and muscle work you are doing now is broad cast upon the waters, and will return to you in the not distant fiiture. A prophet is not without honor save in his own country, but to you this honor will come at last, when, shaking the fetters from her limbs, your city shall march abreast in the column of pro gress and prosperity. We doff our beaver to you in respectful recognition of all you have done and are doing for Columbus.—Russell County Reg. ister.

Trenton, October 17.—'The traveler from Philadelphia to New York on the Pennsylvania railroad invariably bus bis attention attracted as the train passes over the Delaware bridge into Trenton by a cluster of curling columns of smoke along the river bank on the Jersey side. A nearer view shows the extensive New Jer sey steel and iron works in full operation. So long as the hum of industry is heard there South Tren ton’s thousands of thrifty families are happy. Half a mile back from the river is another busy hive—the Trenton Iron works—of smaller proportions, but yet an important factor in the city’s pros perity. With both these concerns Abram S. Hewitt, of New ‘York city, has been identified from the start. Their history is the history of Trenton’s progress. The New Jersey Steel and Iron Works were established in 184.5 by Peter Cooper, but little was accomplished until 1847, when Abram S. Hewitt, Edward Cooper and James Hall were added to the firm. At that time Trenton was a mere village with no industries worth mentioning. South of the spot where Cooper & Hewitt’s mill was located only farm land was visible. The establishment of the “rolling mill,” as it was called, was a great event, and the demand for three score employes startled the quiet community. A five-acre tract of land and a single building sufficed for tbe business of the new company. Sirce then trade has grown, and the live-acre tract has developed till the works at present cover twenty-four acres. Instead of one little building there are a dozen large ones, and instead of a few score of employes, ■ t here are often as many as 1200. This, too, does not include the Trenton iron works, j an outgrowth of the old New Jersey anduu- j der the same management, which employs | abdut 000 hand- and whose buildings cover j eleven acres. The latter works eomprise a roiling and a wire mill, with ail annual capacity in the rolling mill of 15,000 tons aud in the wire department of 20,000 tons. The plant of the New Jersey works con-: sists of twenty-seven engines with a capacity of about 1000 horse power, thirteen puddling furuances, thirteen heating furnaces, seven trains of rolls and five steam hammers. The annual capacity | of the works is 22,000 tons. Independent of the Trenton iron works Abram 3. | Hewitt and his colleagues pay in wages annually in this city an average of $3118,- 000. It is generally conceded here that noth ing has contributed as much to Trenton’s growth and prosperity as the industry ' which Cooper & Hewitt established here, j It built up south Trenton into a thriving, j thickly-settled section. During the busi- ; ness depression following the great ! money panic of 1873, the new Jersey ! steel and iron works struggled on, endeav- j oring to keep a force of men at , work, although at a constant loss to ! the firm, Their example lias also j rought many other valuable manu facturers to Trenton. The iron trade alone j gives employment to nearly 1000 persons ! and represents an investment of several million dollars. A feature at both the' ! New Jersey and Trenton works is the i pleasant relations that has always existed between employer and employed. There ; has never been any serious trouble over wages. The company have not pretended to pay extravagant wages in any case, bm they have paid whatever trade justified, 1 anti the employes, knowing this, have been contented and happy. One of the best j proofs of the friendly relations referred ! to is the long service given to the company ] by its employes. Some of the men who ; were in the mill in 1845, are still there. “I don’t know an instance,” said Super- I intendent Stokes in reply to an inquiry, j “where a man has been discharged owing i to old age.” Superintendent Stok&s himself lias been with the .company a quarter of a century. ; Old Bobbie Lambert has been in the com pany’s employ forty years. He began when an active young man as a millwright. He is now deaf and gray-haired and makes his way around supported by a cane. He is about the mill every day, and his wages , come regularly every Saturday night. Of course, the service he renders nowadays is ; not heavy, but the company remember ; that the vigor of his youth was spent in their interest. While Bobbie is the oldest employe, there are numbers of others who have grown gray in the works, and who to-day draw their pay more as pensioners 1 than workmen. The men have only the kindliest things to say of their employers. “It’s too bad,” said one veteran iron , worker this afternoon, “that there are not more Hewitts and more Coopers in charge of the mills of this country. If there were we wouldn’t hear so much ol strikes and lockouts. I’ve been in the company’s em ploy twenty-eight years, and never had a oross word said to me. Many s the hun dred dollars I’ve drawn from them. I have a nice property in my old age, and there i are lots of others like me. My sons are now working in the same mill.” Si’icntiflozII)' Demonstrated. “ Doctor, did you ever know of a person whu.ii: heart was on the right side ?” “ Yes, siy.” . . , . ' “Have you any objection to speaking about the ease ?" “ None whatever. “Well, who is the party?’ “Oh, I might speak of a very large num ber of persons. Now, for instance, your heart is on the right side.” “ Oh, no; you are mistaken. My heart is on the’left side.” ., . . , . „ “Of course it is: but isn't that right. — Pittsburg Dispatch. INTRODUCING THE PARIS “SALON.” How Mm. Ihdilirrcn is IloiiiK to Fliruro In Wait* innii.it Six-lot) 'tills Winter. Washington, October 17.-Mrs. Ad miral Dahlgfcii, tne novelist mm social queen, who lias lived in retirement tne past two years, will take her place in \Vushingtoii society once more this win ter. It is understood, too, that silo pro poses to carry into effect some ideas of ners which are likely to revolutionize the mode of entertaining here. During her last winter at the capital it will be remem bered that she was the centre of a literary society composed ol' the most talented men and wo men in Washington, which met in her parlors frequently and which had for its object the cultivation ol conversation as a line art. So*different was aer mode of en tertaining from me usual gossipping, tire some receptions Unit, she soon attracted wide attention, and was an object of envy very generally. Now she intends to enter tain in her magnificent mansion, niter the style of the quondam Paris “salon” and realize fully the ideas which were just crystallizing when she was here before. She is a woman of broad, oullured mind devoted to literature and art, and heartily tired of the so culled amusements widen now take up the time of society. She intends to make her par lors something more than a place lor exchanging light commonplaces and dealing out scandal. She wants to intro duce intellectual enjoyments! to draw around her the best minus in public and private life; to elevate society oouveraat'on, m a word, (o accomplish wiiat was accom plished by Mine. De Stael and other intel lectual French women in their salons. She is tlie woman to succeed in suon an undertaking, too. In the first place, she is very wealthy. Besides her fine residence here and a considerable amount ol' valu able unimproved real estate, she owns a castle home at South Mountain, Mil., over looking the battlefield, and a tuousand or more acres of the finest land in Maryland. Siie lias a good income from government bonds and stock investments. So she has the prestige of wealth to begin with. Next, she has beauty, and youth, too—at least so far as appearance goes. She is a hand some, weli-preservea woman under tort/ and apparently not yet thirty. She lias the queenly iorm and movement, winch go so far to give a woman tne lead in social circles. Her manners are graceful, her tact perfect and her conversation bril liant. Having been muon of a student all her life, she has a highly cultivated minu stored with curious knowledge. Dis tinguished public men who have heard her talk declare that she is the niost re markable woman liiey ever met. While possessing the usual feminine talent for miking nonesense when occasion requires, she can converse well on politics, political economy, science and literature, so that she can meet her guests oi every descrip tion on their owu ground. She has also the prestige of authorship, and successful authorship. Her first book—a life of her stepson, Col. Ulrich Dahlgren—was widely praised. “Legends of South Mountain,” published four years ago, added much to her literary reputation, and her caricature of Washington society winter before last made her name familiar to readers all over the country. A now novel which she has in press and which will be out in time for the opening of the winter season will doubtless add to her fame, Mrs. Dahlgren is a deeply religious woman. When in Washington she can be seen at St. Matthew’s Catholic church nearly every morning at mass, and whe - at her South Mountain country house she is a regular attendant at her private chapel, which she built and maintains at her own expense. It is said that in her forthcoming novel tlie leading character will be a young minister who is troubled with religions, and who filially reaches the haven of truth in the Catholic church. Mrs. Dahigren’s re-entrance into Wash ington society is sure to cause a flurry among tlie leaders. Sonic of tlie cabinet ladies will have to look to their laurels. They must successfully imitate Mrs. Dahlgren or fall behind her. Very few of them eun get up a successful imitation, for it is hard to find any who have all her qualifications. Some have wealh, some have beauty, and others again have talent, but it takes all these to entertain in tne manner Mrs. Dahlgren proposes.

Augusta Chronicle. About aix weeks ago the question as to who would have the Central railroad sys tem was the all-absorbing theme for dis cussion in Georgia. The question is again mooted, aud the question as to who will be president is still u matter of considera ble doubt. The friends of General E. P. Alexander are not without hope, whilst the friends ot Major Raoul, the present in cumbent, pose in an apparently self-satis fied position. “What means the difference of four points for stock with voting privilege and that without it?” Asked the Chronicle’s stock man of a prominent broker. “Why,” said he, “you know that no stock of the Central railroad that is trans ferred after October 1 can lie voted in the January election, and consequently stock with voting privilege will easily bring four points more than the ordinary stock without voting privilege.” “What is the occasion of the difference, and who is buying the stock?” “The question as to who is buying the stock is one that is clothed in great doubt, but the fact that over u thou and shares have gone to New York in the past few days means something. Every system of railroad from the east or west would like to obtain the Central, and the great sys tems of the east are looking to the south for business, and any one who thinks that the control of the Central system is not going to be fought for at the c. oiling elec tion will be badly mistaken.” “There is a great deal going on,” con tinued the banker, “in railroad circles, and it is safe to assert that a lively time may be looked forward to.” “Arc any of the Augusta brokers mixed up in the deal ?” asked the reporter. “Yes,” replied he. “Major Branch has been north, and is mysterious about his connection with the deal. Mr. John Jay Cohen is now in New York and has been one of the largest purchasers of the stock during the last deal, and Mr. James U. Jackson sold over five hundred shares ol the stock in the last few days.” There are rumora of t,hc consolidation of the Louisville and Nash ilie, the Wes tern and Atlantic and the Central system, under one nianagemc >:.

Philadelphia. October 1(1.—As might be expected in this republican stronghold, there was n groat outpouring of the faith ful to hear the addresses of Mr. Blaine. He spoke a-s lie was advertised to do. and more. First lie addressed a jammed house at the academy and followed by a stirring little speech at horticultural hull adjoin ing, in which there was held an overflow meeting. This over, he was taken to t.lio Union League club house, and was not al lowed to puss its portals till be said some thing mure to the thousands who hud fol lowed him thither. Once in the club house, ho liel a reception for the mem bers and braced them with a few more opinions. SCENE OF ENTHUSIASM. Never was there so much enthusiasm over him or any other public man as thole was here to-night. Bauds and corps of re publicans wlio could not got into either of the halls paraded the streets making night hideous with their playing and yells. While the speech was being delivered overflow meetings wore held all along Broad street, near the scene of Blaine’s triumph. The crowd at the academy was so great or the management of it ho bad that even the reporters of papers de tailed to report tho speeches could not get in until an hour after Mr. Blaine begun speaking. Mr. Blaine was applauded ul- uio:.t alter every paragraph, the en thusiasm being so gieat. Mr. Blaine in his speeches touched upon every subject of Interest in tlie local campaigns and some of national importance. THE WAGE QUESTION. Time and time again he arraigned the democrats, and at the academy closed with the following hot shot: “I repeat here that while you pay fl.75 to men who are making pig iron in Pennsylvania and Ohio, they are making pig iron in Alabama and paying seventy-five cents a day, and yet those two products must meet in the same market. The democratic party is answerable for it. They wish on the ono side to break down the tariff and throw th<? northern laboring man into competi tion with foreign, ill paid labor, and at the same time, by maintaining' the domi nance of the southern democracy, to bring up the 1,SOU,000 and soon to be 2,01)0,000 workers upon not more than half the wages that northern men get, in many cases not one-third of it. I : wi's' talking with a distinguished soutli- [ erner from North Carolina not long ago, and speaking of the condition of the South- ! era laborer, he asked me what I thought was the average cost of the house, if .you , can dignify it with t at name, in which the great majority of the field la orersol' the south were sheltered, and he gave me ! tlie assurance that it was not more than $9 j —[laughter]—that the house that covers these laborers who, by this nefarious po- | litieul proceeding, are thrown into direct 1 conflict and direct competition with north ern laborers, are sheltered in houses that do not cost for their construction more i than $10—not more than the average prieu | ot a decent pig pen of a Pennsylvania , farmer.

Poison Oak. Last Sunday, while at Mr. T. F. Hud son’s, tho great hay and carp man, who is perhaps better known than any farmer in the state, we noticed that Ins son, DeWitt, seemed to bo skinning oil* at the hands. Mr. fl. called the little fellow to him and showed us how the skin,even on the palms of his hands, was coming off in flakes and anew skin appearing underneath. He explained that several years ago the child was badl> poisoned with poison oak, and every spring he broke out and suffered greatly. lie had applied every known remedy to relieve the sufferer, and em ployed physicians to attend him, but with no avail. “In fact,” Mr. Hudson con tinued, “it seemed like to go in sight of a poison oak .vine would cause t he eruption to break out afresh. After trying every thing else, I read in the Banner-Watch man so much about the 8. 8. 8. blood med icine that l determine to try that also, but must confess that 1 had but little hope in it. But, as you see, its success has been wonderful. It has driven every particle ol’the poison from my child’s Hystem,and is now' putt ing a now skin on him. lie is thoroughly cured, and the 8. 8. 8. did t he good work, i believe that it will drive out any kind ol’ poison from the blood, and its effect on DeWitt proves it. There area great many sufferers from poison oak in the country, and to such 1 can know ingly recommend t his great medicine. ft not only effects a certain cure, but scorns to put fresh life into one.” This is only one of the numerous in dorsements of 8. 8. 8. that ims reached us, and we publish it as information to those who are suffering wit h poison in t heir sys tem, it matters not from what source it comes.
