Sho recited the incidents of her visit rapturously, and her father was so pleased by the honor bestowed on his daughter that he forthwith cabled the circum stances to his wife in Liverpool, who In turn communicated it to her circle of lady friends, all of whom united in sending a return message expressing their apprecia tion to Mrs. Cleveland for the favor she had shown the little English girl, and as suring, her that she would henceforth oc cupy a laree place in their affections, and that they would always think of her with the same love they bore their sovereign.

BARNARD'S NEW COMET. jnthe leadership of the knights in Augusta.’ When Mr. Meynardie returned so peremp torily to Augusta from the Richmond con vention, there was much dissatisfaction among the Augusta knights, and M. M. Connor, a leading spirit among the men, was delegated to go to Richmond and in quire into the work of Mr. Meynardie, and ascertain if Augusta had been fairly and creditably represented at the great gather ing of the labor men. Mr. Connor hastily returned to Augusta and summoned the assembles to convene. The result was that Meynardie was deposed forthwith and Connor deputed to act as the leader, for the present. This is interpreted as giving color to the rumor that Mr. Mey nardie had acted very curiously during his trip, and his sickness of to-dav'is the result of abuse of himself and his health during his absence. Connor is a conservative man and it is ! expected that he takes the gavel in hand i with the firm intention of bringing the j labor troubles to a satisfactory close. Grocers and others who have been furnish ing necessaries to the Knights on orders of the organization are alarmed for their money and have refused to further fur nish goods unless former debts are liqui dated. With the rumor told by promi nent knights to your reporter that f2000 had been received in Augusta by the ’knights to-day, comes news of grand dis satisfaction among the local assemblies as to the financial management of those entrusted with the handling of knights’ money sent to Augusta. It is further reported that a national representative of the order is on liis way to Augusta with two purposes, first, to again endeavor to efiect a settlement of the trouble between the knights and the ni 11s, and secondly, to investigate the handling of the money here, and endeavor to settle differences between two factions which have sprung up among the knights in Augusta. One faction is represented by Connor, the new’ master workman, and the other by Dr. Lally. who is now care fully nursing the deposed Master Meynar- ■die back to strength and health. With this state of aifairs it will readily be seen that ths strike cannot last much longer and that the lock-out must soon be lifted and Augusta’s great mills again be put in ■operation. TROUBLE AMONG RAILROADS. AnKITortto llivnk (lie I.enso of the Charlotte. Columbia anil Auiruata Hoad. Augusta, October 19.— n the superior court to-day was filed a bill of complaint for the purpose of breaking down the lease of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta railroad to the Richmond and Dauville -system. F. H. Miller and C. H. Cohen filed the bill on behalf of J. H. Lowry and others. The grounds of complaint are numerous, and are principally that the lease was made without the knowledge or consent of the stockholders. Ex-Senator Rope Barrow, of the counsel for the Rich mond and Danville, has secured a post- Coming Towards the Earth nt the Unto or 2.00(1,. 000 Milos a Day.

Atlanta, Ga., October 19.-—Mayor Hill- yer’s veto meets with popular endorse ment. The saleof beer in Atlanta, whether by the Atlanta brewery company or any body else, would be a violation of the pro hibition law, and the public sentiment favors a rigid enforcement of that law. Whether a man is anti or prohibition he believes in tho enforcement of tho law while it exists. However desirous he may be to sec the law changed,! think every fair-minded anli-prohibilionist desires to see it enforced wlilie it lusts. Mayor Hill- yer, not only as a staunch prohibitionist, but as executive officer of a community which had declared itself in favor of m-o- hibition, could properly take no oilier course than to veto a resolution passed by council clearly repugnant to the expressed will of the people, and not legally tenable. This morning the supreme court held in the Thorn case that the county commis sioners had no power to delegate to Secre tary John Tyler Cooper the authority to issue or transfer licenses, and tliut all such licenses so transferred were illegal. As all the licenses but one, that of T. 0. May- son, have already expired by limitation, it is not probable that the matter will be re opened. Mayson, the only man now soil ing liquor in Atlanta, was a prominent prohibitionist. His license expires on the ‘26th instant, and it is (said is worth £1000 a day clear money. He is certainly work ing prohibition for all it is worth. Whether the decision of the supreme court will cause him to close up before the expira tion of his license seems to be a debated question, but It. is probable that he will not turn loose as long as lie can possibly hold to his present bonanza. Tin- TT-cliniiluidt-iil School. Atlanta, October 19.—The technologi- 1 commission met in Atlanta at 3 o’clock a comet approaches the sun it exerts a double force, attracting particles of the nebulus and acting on certain matter in the nebulus so as to cause such a disturbing influence as to force the nebulus ramatter out of the sun.

The result of the calculation on the orbit of the comet recently discovered by Pro fessor Barnard was announced from the Dudley observatory last week. It should bo remembered that this celestial wan derer is not the one whose identity with Davis’ comet was pointed out several days ago; but it is a brighter one, visible just before sunrise. It is believed to be making I ?. a i c ... .. D .... its first visit to our system, as no comet j f us alternoon. Besides the members of | t^e commission there were present front Macon W. A.

The heavenly visitor is now on the south side of the ecliptic or plane of the earth’s orbit. In a few days it will pass above that orbit, and will go on day after day nearing the sun until the middle of Decem ber, when it will only be 00,000,000 miles away, according to calculations.

Speaking of comets in general Professor Barnard recently said tliut they are among the most interesting and mysterious of the celestial bodies. A curious fact is that the tails of comets always point from the sun. If the comet is approaching the sun its tail follows it, and if it is leaving the sun its tail precedes it. This known fact has greatly puzzled astronomers, who have never yet been satisfied witli any theory that has been advanced as to the several cities was entered into, and the board agreed to hear front Mr. Harris on Macon’s claim, Mr. Hodgson on Athens and Mr. Innniu on Atlanta. Each of these gentlemen made a forcible pre sentation and review of the offer made by his respective city, and was botpbarded with questions by the others. Mr. Harris developed the fact that the bill in the first instance contemplated the building of the school at Macon, and it wns intended to name that city in the bill. When, however, it was found impracticable to pass the bill with this rider, it was so drawn as to force the selection of Macon if its provisions were adhered to. .

Poison Oak. Last Sunday, while at Mr. T. F. Hud soil’s, the great buy and ear]) man, who is i perhaps better known than any farmer in the state, we noticed that his son, DeWitt, seemed to he skinning off at the hands. Mr. H. 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. lie explained that several years ago t he child was badly 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 the eruption ; to break out afresh. After trying every thing else, I read in the Banner-Watcn- ; man so much about the S. S. S. blood tried- j ieine that l determine to try that also, but ; must confess that l had hut little hope in it. But, as you see, its success has been wonderful. It has driven every particle of the poison from my child’s system,and is Fast Term now putting a newsKin on him. He is ' thoroughly cured, and the S. S. S. did the good work. I believe that it will drive out any kind of poison from the blood, i and its* effect on DeWitt proves it. There area great many sufferers from~poison oak in the country, and to such I can know ingly recommend this great medicine. It not only effects a certain cure, but seems to put fresh life into one.” This is only one of the numerous in- i dorsements of S. K. S. that has reached us, I and we publish it as information to those who arc suffering with poison in their sys- ; tern, it matters not from what source it comes.
