It is believed in Canadial official
circles that the Prince of Wales will
reach Montreal the first week in next
month, and stay in America until after
the Science Association’s meeting in
1884, making a journey all through the
United States and the far Northwest.
Georgia has had 59 Governors. The
first Governor after Oglethorpe was
Win. Stephens, just 140 years ago, and
our present Governor is of the same
name. Fifty of these rulers from Wm.
Stephens to Governor Brown are dead;
the 9 from Governor Brown to A. 11.
Stephens are living.
The sun is marked by large dark
spots, evidences of internal convulsion.
What connection this convulsion in
the sun has with prevailing floods and
remarkable changes of temperature is a
matter of conjecture. The spots are so
clearly defined that they may be seen
through an opera glass with the aid of
smoked glass.
The Mississippi flood last year was
in March, and the height of the inun
dation this year may not b.e reached
until next month. If the Ohio and
other tributaries of the Mississippi re
main full till the snow melts in the
far northwest, the angry waters will
do terrible work in the low countries.
So far this has been a year of remark
able disasters, and the chances are that
the worst is yet to come,
Mr. Louis J. Jennings is of the opin
ion that England contains more people
than she can support. Yet there are
over 7,000,000 acres of fertile land in
England which have never been touch
ed by the plow, and the land now un
der cultivation produces but “2b bushels
of wheat to the acre. The soil is capa
ble of sustaining a „much greater pop
ulation. The trouble with England is
in the political, social and industrial
conditions that retard development by
crushing the many and elevating the
few.
Rerdell’s confession of the star route
conspiracy is creating a sensation in
Washington; not that he is telling
anything strictly new, for the public
had anticipated all his revelations, but
there pertains to his talk the fruity
flavor that the public detects in the
ante-mortem declaration of a convicted
murderer. Miner, another conspirator,
is expected to turn State’s evidence
when he takes the stand, but the W ash
ington public, knowing the tricks in
the trade of the law, is divided in opin
ion as to a probability of the conviction
of the arch-conspirators, Dorsey and
Brady. But whatever may be the ver
dict of the jury, the conspirators are
wrecked in fortune and character. The
cost of the trials has eaten up their ill
gotten gains, and a tragic touch is
given the case by the suicide of the wife
of one of the defendants.
There is a case now in the New York
supreme court which involves several
millions of dollars, being the settlement
of the estate of the late Gilbert W.
Browne, of Brooklyn. In one form or
another the estate has been in litigation
for over twenty years. The plaintiff
in the suit is Mrs. Elizabeth Ronman
Browne, neice of the deceased, and*the
defendants John Leveridge, Hermanus
B. Duryea and others. When the liti
gation began the plaintiff was in the
bloom of youth. She is now apparent
ly in the decline of life, and when the
contest is ended is likely to be compell
ed to read the final decision with strong
glasses. Her attorney, Mr. Hayes,
has grown gray over the case; Mr.
Leveridge, one of the defendants, is ap
proaching four-score-and-ten, and his
co-defendant, General Duryea, is ap
parently close to an octogenarian age.
The Marietta Journal thus solves
one of the most difficult questions of
the day, at least for the average capac
ity to comprehend: A pint cup may not
be ill treated for not holding a quart.
This is, indeed, anew measure of moral
obligation. The man underrates your
argument, project, or improvement, be
cause be cannot contain it. He does
not report you correctly because he
cannot contain all your ideas 1 He is a
pint cup. Your friend betrays your
secret. It is your own fault. You put
too much in a small vessel and it slops
over. Your neighbor has narrow views,
feelings and politics, and they do not
enlarge. Be gentle toward him, for
small measures connot afford to be very
liberal, and pint cups come to their
growth early. They are required to
hold but a pint.
State Agricultural Society.
There were nearly two hundred dele
gates present at the opening of the ses
sion of the State Agricultural Society,
on Tuesday, at Macon. Hon. Thomas
Hardeman, President of the Society,
presented and delivered an able and
interesting address. Gen. Wm. M.
Browne delivered an address embracing
the report of experiments at the Univer
sity farm. Colonel Reese of Marshall
ville, followed in a criticism on the ex
perimental farm project, and Mr. Liv
ingston, of Newton county replied to
him. The society adopted a resolution
endorsing the experimental farm and
repudiating Colonel Reese’s strictures.
Hon. David E. Butler made an inter
esting address on the stock law, which
was followed by some discussion on the
subject. Professor Pratt, of Atlanta,
delivered an address on the material
used in the manufacture of commercial
fertilizers. A full synopsis of the pro
ceedings will appear in Wednesday’s
Republican.
Major J. V. H. Allen, a prominent
citizen of Augusta, died Wednesday
morning after a long illness. He was
chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee. At one time he was Mayor of
Augusta, and was the first to suggest
the enlargement of the canal. During
the war he was a gallant soldier. He
took a lively interest in every public
enterprise, and was director of several
institutions. He did much to make
the building up of the Augusta and
Knoxville railroad a certainty.
Georgia Major.
We have received No. 1 Vol. 1. of
the Georgia Major the new paper just
started in Atlanta by Messrs. Small &
Williams. It is an eight page paper
and is neatly and characteristically got
ten up. The printing and illustrations
are in fact unusually good, and the pa
per promises to occupy anew and
promising field in Georgia journalism.
The first issue is a most promising one,
aud raises expectations of a successful
and brilliant future.
Judge Estes, of the Blue Ridge cir
cuit, has abolished the idea of kissing
the Bible when taking an oath. He
ssys it is a merely meaningless form
which takes up the time to no purpose,
and that the oath is just as binding
“either with oi without laying hands
on the holy evangelist of Almighty
God” as with it. There certainly is
nothing in the statute that requires the
kissing of the book.
Cared for as if She Was a Trot
ting Horse.
Cleveland Herald.
Few, indeed, are the people who can
keep up the round of Washington
gayety. without sadly showing their
weariness. An exception to this rule
is the young daughter of an army of
ficer stationed in that city. All win
ter she has been busy with receptions
and dinners, kettledrums and germans,
and on Wednesday, as she came into
Mrs. Chandler’s parlors she looked as
fresh and rosy as if it were her first
day. My curiosity was aroused, and
presently I had an opportunity to in
quire of her how it was that she was
able to endure that to which strong
women yielded.
“Oh,” she replied, laughing, “mam
ma is almost a crank on that subject.
She is bound I shall not look passe at
the end of this my second winter.
Every night when I get home, no mat
ter how tired I am, a warm bath is
given me, after which I drink a bowl
of bouillon, and am put to bed in the
guest chamber, which is more quiet
than my own. In the morning I am
not called, but arise when I awake,
which is not often before lunch time.
It grows monotonous, I assure you,
but if I go, I have to submit. I tell
mamma she treats me as if I was a
prize fighter.”
G overnor Stephens.
The following from the Constitu
tion indicates that Governor Stephens
is paying the penalty of his foolish
trip to Savannah—foolish considering
his feebleness. We haven’t much hope
of his ever recovering: “Governor Ste
phens is quite sick. When he started
from Savannah last Saturday the ther
mometer stood at eighty. When he
reached Atlanta it was forty. Such a
change was not calculated to benefit
the Governor by any means, and he
was prostrated by a severe cold. He i
kept his bed during Sunday and the
succeeding days, and yesterday was
worse than at any time since his re
turn. Governor Stephens is now suf
fering from neuralgia of the bowels and
is receiving close attention from his
physician, Dr. Dr. H. V. M. Miller.
It is to be hoped that the Governor will
soon be restored to his accustomed
health. He was suffering very much
last night, although his pain was par
tially relieved by the use of mor
phine.”
Salaries of Postmasters.
General Bingham introduced a bill
in the House to readjust the salaries of
Postmasters under the two cent pos
tage law. It proposes that the sala
ries of Postmasters of the first clasi
shall be graded from #3,000 to $6,000.
as the receipts of their offices vary from
$40,00 to $100,000; second class, sal
aries to range from $2,000 to $2,900.

There is a Frenchman in Paris only
thirty-two years old who has written

The New Jersey legislature is going
to enact another law in favor of the

A man living near Lake Louise,
Manitoba, picked up a moccasin snake
in an armful of sticks and was danger

On his return home, Oscar Wilde
complained of “the dreadful monotony
of color of the ocean.” But that is
nothing to the dreadful monotony a
man suffers in trying to color an imita

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore says in her
lecture on “The Youth of America,”,
that the sight of an empty coal scuttle
frightens them. It may frighten some
of them, but almost any youth can
stand it sitting up in a cold room if the
girl don’t object.
As the 12th of March is the time
fixed for the return of the Prince Louise
from the Bermudas to the Canadian
capitol, it will give Lome ample time
to shovel the cigar stubs out of the
front parlor, and fire the apple cores
and champagne corks off the window
sills.
There is a St. Louis man who offers
heavy odds that he can eat a chicken a
day for fifty days, provided the chick
ens are not over twenty-one years old.
He evidently keeps house, and is ou the
lookout for young chickens. When
the birds are picked out, lie will quietly
pay r for the lot and walk home with
them.
They have now saddled the whole
thing on to a poor editor in the West,
ern part of Minnesota. Here is the
yarn. He wrote “the fine ladies pies
ent wore sacks of the dirtiest descrip
tion” and the compositor got it “socks
of the daintiest description.” Fun on
the frontier is quite humorous, not to
say ludicrous.
Jem Mace, and his cannibal pet, the
heathen Maori, had a set-to last week
in New York, and the pet rather worst
ed the ex-pugilist and the superannu
ated trainer. The loving couple took
in about a thousand dollars apiece from
the hungry NewYorkers, who enjoyed
the feast and smacked their lips for
more. Somebody will lick both those
men one of these days.
We learn from a New York correspon
dent that “The Growlers” a merry and
fashionable society of that city, visited
Washington last week for the purpose
of establishing a similar club there,
which will be made up of congressmen
and other public men. The name is
not appropriate. The real growlers
are now away from Washington growl
ing at the congressmen.
Competition is the life of trade. A
Manchester, N. 11, merchant advertises
that he is making postage stamps down
to two cents in view of the probable
action of Congress in the reduction of
postage. When he gets them all mark
ed, they won’t be worth, however, tbrep
cents a thousand. Marked postage
stamps are something the honest man
wants to shy at.
There is a town in Georgia which is
now holding out superior inducements
to northern emigration. For a genuine
“Winter resort” it is now ahead of any
other known locality on the globe. A
violent epidemic is raging thee which
is carrying oft - the cats by the whole*
sale. The exact nature of the epidemic
is not known by the citizens, and they
all say they don’t care a continental
what it is.
Bob Ingersoll says that the true bar
to progress in the South is not the
want of reconstruction, bnt of plug hats
and suspenders. That can’t be the
true bar to the progress of the Indians.
A Pawnee squaw clothed in a plug hat
and suspenders is not an uuusual sight,
but her progress in surmounting the
difficulties which strew the path of her
march into rethetic society would be,
we imagine, similar to that of an indo
lent snail.
The moralist says: “Every man is
occasionally what he ought to be per

perpetually what they ought to be occa
sionally.

A BASE CALUMNY.
The Story Sent from Washing
ton by a Senatorial Corres
pondent.
Pittsburg; Feb. 20.—An afternoon
journal, the Leader, yesterdar printed
as Washington correspondence the fol
lowing paragraph under the caption of
“An injured husband threatens to lick
the President:”
There has been for sometime a good
deal of disagreeable gossip of a scan
dalous nature, iu whi#h the name of
the President of the Linked States has
been coupled with that of a distinguish
ed lady. There is no other apparent
ground for these stories than can be
found in the indiscreet conduct of the
lady herself, who is as beautiful as dis
tinguished, and who has habitually
thrown herself in Mr. Arthur’s way to
the scandal of her husband. Yet these
stories have thickened and grown
since last summer, until they are in
the mouths of every mail gossip mon
ger and on the tongue of every soci
ety woman in the Capital. It is whis
pered about to-day that the husband
of the lady, who has protested in vain
against his wife’s reckless exposure of
her character to these scandalous in
sinuations and attacks, has gone high
ei with his complaint and has person
ally threatened to hold Mr. Arthur ac
countable. If but a small part of this
openly talked about story is true,
there is a tempest brewing in the
neighborhood of the White House
which will raise the hair of the whole
country.
The publication has attracted much
indignation, and it has been forwarded
to Washington. The rumor, accor
ding to Presidents Arthur’s friends,
will be thoroughly investigated.
TENNESSEE DEFAULTERS.
In Bad Health, and Will Not
Live a Mouth if Not Released
Nashville, Feb. 20 —A gentleman
who visited Colonel Marsh T. Polk,
M, Monday, says that he can scarcely
speak above a whisper, that he has not
eaten anything since last Tuesday and
that if continued to be confined in jail
he would not live more than a month.
It is thought that he cannot live more
than six months even if taken out of
jail and afforded all the necessary com
forts, so completely has his system
been depleted. It was also stated that
the stench arising from the river into
his cell was insufferable, and that this
alone was enough to keep one sick.
The Legislative Committee, com
posed of Messrs. Looney, Thotnas and
Daniel, were to have had an inter
view with Col. Polk, Monday after
noon, but did not do so on account of
the absence of Messrs. Looney and
Thomas. The committee, with Sena
tor Daniels at its head, had an inter
view with Col. Polk at the jail at 4
o’clock this afternoon.
It is understood that Col. Polk’s
bondsmen have agreed to settle Col.
Polk’s liabilities by the payment of
$300,000 in “new issue” and Tennes
see bonds—mostly in new issue.
An Eccentric Burial.
The body of Jonathan Chadwick, an
eccentric man who died on February 7>
in Farmington, N. IL, was taken to
Berwick, Me., for an eccentric burial
which was prescribed in his will. Du
ring the last year of his life he had
busied himself in catting a resting
place in a huge block of granite. The
excavation was large enough to re
ceive his body, Bf)d fropi time to time
he would lie down in it to see if it was
just a fit. He then shaped the block
into coffin form, cut a granite slab for
a cover weighing 1,700 pounds and
carried the stiange sarcophagus to Ber
wick, where he dug a grave for its re
ception at the proper time, and wither
after his d.eath his body was borne,
escorted by Harmony lodge Jv. of P.
The rumor was that his mortal remains
were to ride in the procession in an
arm chair, but in that particular the
crowds who lined the street were dis
appointed. When the burial ground
was reached the body was lowered into
the sarcophagus, the huge granite slab
was placed oyer it and the coffin in
which the body bad been brought
from Lancaster was broken in pieces
and thrown into the grave.
Horrible Tragedy.
Bkackett, Tex., Feb. 20— By the
explosion of a kerosene lamp in a farm
house, on Presidio Creek, twelve miles
from here, four children, aged from
two to seven years, were burned to
death, and their mother, Mrs. Michael
McDonald, who was alone in the
house with them, was compelled to
witness the horrible sufferings of her
babes without being able to render
them any assistance, the flames hav
ing cut her off from the room in which
the children were burning to death.
Three Brothers Killed.
Warsaw, Mo., Feil 20. —Three
brothers, William, Henry and Silas
Boatright, aged sixteen, eighteen and
twenty years respectively, became en
gaged in a deadly quarrel this morn
ing and fought with knives, Henry
and Silas were killed outright, and
William was mortally wounded. The
father of the boys is a wealthy iarmer.
