successively rendering each con
quest the base of operations for the
next, it has succeeded for a centu
ry past without experiencing any
lasting disaster, in advancing its
dominions over the wildest regions
in every direction. The march to
the Indus is long and the moun
aitns high, but the distance is not
so great, so arid so wild and so
interminable as the route to Kamt

by troops without difficulty.

“The two principal cities of Af

.favor by proclaming that they
march to the conquest of India
with a view to restoring the nation
al dynasties, subverted by their en

a hostile feeling towards the En

ATLANTA LETTER.
Atlanta, Ga., May sth 1885.
The* all-absorbing subject with
i the people of Atlanta now is the
National Commercial Convention
which wili assemble here on the
19th instant. This project which
is due to the conception of our
Chamber of Commerce is likely
to prove of great importance to the
commerce of the United States.
The chairman of the Execvtive
committee is receiving intelligence
daily, which endicatcs a very large
attendance of delegates and unof
ficial persons. Many will come
from other to see, tor the
first time, the Southern States, their
people and their resources. The
convention 'will comprise some of
the ablest representative citizens of
the Republic, and bids fair to prove
one of the most important and ben
eficial deliberative bodies ever as
sembled on this continent. To day
we made a hasty visit to the office
of 11. I. Kimball, chairman of the
Executive committe,and found him
and his corps es clerks most active
ly engaged in the work of prepa
ration for the approaching event
It was clearly apparent that they
were all fall of business, indica
ting that, they were not engaged on
a small enterprise. While there,
we were shown a newcirculrr, then
being sent out, which declared that
the small towns, having as many
as one thousand inhabitants, should
be allowed one delegate each. The
previous circular gave one delegate
to the towns having two thousand
people. This change will materi
ally increase the number of rep
resentatives, especially from con
tiguous States.
The press of the whole country
well do a most praiseworthy act by
ui ging the appointment of dele
gates and by impressing upon the
people of their respective sections,
the importance of this convention
and their attendance upon its de
liberations. We learn that many
interesting and instructive papers
will be read before the convention
on subjects relating to commerce,
and that some of our statesmen of
renown will deliver addresses on
the occasion. We can not doubt
the beneficial results of such an
intellectual association. Tell your
people to come. They will be am
ply rewarded.
Arrangements for cheap fare on
all railroad lines arc now being
perfected, and notice of the rates
will be duly published.
Business here ; s extremely dull
but our merchants are cheerful and
hopeful.
There is only one enterprise
which seems to be pushing ahead
and that is the manufacture of pat
ent medicines. We have been sur
prised at what is being accom
plished in this line. There are not
less than a dozen distinct projects
of this character in our city, and
each of these seems to be doing an
extensive business—not only man
ufacturing largely, but making
heavy sales. A visit to these man
ufactories is likely to impress a
person with the frailty of hlimani
ty, but if the “puffs" of their med
ical products be read, he would
feel that all men, women and chil
dren are within easy reach of a
panacea, that will restore health
and prolong life. So the situation
is not so discouraging after all.
The event of last week was the
opening of the 11. I. Kimball
House to the public. This occurs
red on the 30th ult. With appro
priate ceremonies the great st rue
i tore was turned over by its builder
to the Board of Directors and by
•/
them to the lessees. There were
many guests present who enjoyed
with real zest the luxuries spread
before them—as well as the enrap
tuiing music rendered on the oc
casion. The 11. I. K. is one of the
most splendid and capacious
edifices of its class in the United
j States. It is a fitting monument
!to the enterprise of the stockhol- .
ders and the executive ability of
1
him whose name it bears. It is rhe
pride of Atlanta, and, when known
will he appreciated by the people
generally.
The Rev. Sam Jones has crea
i ted quite an impression here by his
quaint style of pre-w h ing. He has
handled such pers r,s and thinlrs as
■ he disappr >ves, “with gloves off,”
i and in town, is becoming the -nbs
ject of retaliatoiy criticism. Many
j censure his mode of preaching, bur.
I still the people crowd to hear him. j
*«Last Sabbath the R v. Dr. Cheney,
pastor of the “Church of Our
Father," made the Rev. critic the
special subject of a lecture in
which many severe things were
raid in chaste and dignified style.
Such celebrity as is. now being won
by Mr. Jones, is rapidly fitting him
for the pastorate of some church
like Talmage’s Tabernacle, or
Beecher’s Plymouth, in Brooklyn.
If agreeable. I will write you an
occasional letter. Yours,
Chips.
Athens.
For The Times.
The campus is green. Students
lively. The errors of my last were
certainly no less egregious, than
they were conspicious. The cus
tom, Mr Ed ,now is, you know, for
one man to write, and leave it to
another to guess out if he can. —
It’s very patent that I somewhat
over estimated your ability as a
guesscr. I'm this morning rid of
fifteen braves who made my room
merry with the melodies of their
euphonious carminum while indi*
ting my other. Hence I'll try to
get it down a little better. A great
many changes are taking place in
the city. The college chapel is
undergoing a thorough renovation,
$5,000 having been appropriated
for Repairing and enlarging. An
effort is being made for a gymna
sium. Cost about $25,000.* Pros
pects very good. By direction of
the faculty, the ball ground has
been put in excellent condition.—
Policeman Kelly is a magnificent
ooss for the like. The University
At h let ic association was organized
in Prof. White’s room (Moore
building) two weeks since. Prof.
White accompanied the senior class
to Talulah Falls on 23rd. His
lecture on geology at the hotel at
night was a treat. The Prof “be
came as one of the boys’’ while on
the excursion. His thorough
knowledge of the earth’s formation
and his affable conversation made
him a no less.instructive than pleas
ant companion. The scenery is
truly picturesque Alt. Inspiration
is 1,000 feet above water, the
Devil’s Pulpit is 900. VYe called
at the latter, but the old gent was
not at home. From appearances
he had ceased to use his stand.
Some one said “his work had been
completed there,” another “that
he was professionally called away;*’
and still another said “he guessed
that the old monarch, at this late
day, preferred to retire voluntarily,
than to come in contact with this
crowd.” We question not that the
last was the more reasonable hy
pothesis. An excursion to the
same place on the 26th carried
most all of the students. Air.
Morse, of Athens, lias expended
over $25,000 at the falls. A now
hotel is .nearing completion by
other parties. On first floor are
two spacious stoie rooms. 'Twill
make a magnificent contrast with
the furrounsing wilds.
M ell,Mr. Editor, Athens is quiet
again. The holiness propagators
have peacefully withdrawn. Having
luHd unabated sway for 16 days
and nights. About 50 ministers
| having first and last, enlisted in the
Salvation army. The meeting and
its enthusiastic promoters, under
went all the phases of chagrin and
i criticism, but in the end came out
victors of their most vehement
opposors, and changed their deri
sion into admiration. Quite a
number of students joined the
church, those too, who were least
expected. The meeting was con*
ducted in a very unusual manner,—
indeed, ’twas altogether novel. In
any direction you might choose to
go, you were met by an army of
enthusiasts, Indies as well as gent
tlemen, who would stop, sing and
pray for you on the spot, regard
less of your hurry too. One being
asked by a chum why he joined,
said “he couldn't get out of it.”—
The meeting has certainly accotn
plished much good. W.

NEW ORLEANS LETTER.
New Orleans. May 10, 1885.
Dear Timos, Wc left home Thurs
day morning md had we run straight
through would have reached thi
place the next morning,—a fast
schedule.that gives us <»ne b. eakfast
in Carrollton and tlte next 550
miles away. We spent Thursday
night in B r aingham, after a rapid
rim from Atlanta. In fact the
train goes so fast that its rocking,
swaying an 1 pitching made every
lady aboard seasick. We visited
the iron works, furnaces Arc at
night and lefl B. early Friday
morning. Don’t like the place.—
Smells very badly. No drainage
to carry off the filth. Was on a
slow train and did not reach here
until 7p. m . Saw some good land
around Tuscaloosa Ala., and Meri
dian, Miss , but most of it is very
poor. The last hundred miles above
here was through a solid swamp. —
For mile after mile and hour after
hour we sped along a dismal, mo
notonous road with open pine for
ests on cither side, x level as a floor,
stagnant pools everywhere, no
farms, no buildings, save at water
stations and an occasional saw mill,
and not a cut or till the whole way
ten feet deep. Wat Wells says
“the country is too. poor to raise a
difficulty on and that he wouldn’t
give Chandler's spring for 200
square miles of it.’’
About 5 p. m.,Friday, we reached
Lake Pontchartrain and crossed it
on a trestle 6 miles long. It is a
strange sight to be on a running
train and no land in view on either
side. Soon after reaching here we
found our friends, E. G. Kramer
and L. C. Mandeville and we all
room together. Yesterday we
visited the Exposition but I will
not weary you with any attempt to
describe it. Suffice it to say it is
a good thing and well worth a vis
it. It is second to the Centennial
only in size. FLe main building
( covers 33 acres and hasn't got a
partition in it. The Mexican ex
hibit is very fine as is the Govern
ment display. AH the states are
i well represented, Georgia's show
being much better than I expected
The credit of her display is due
mainly to the city of Savannah &
the S. F. & W. R. R.
The Mexican band of 100 pieces
gives daily concerts that are re
markably fine. Last niglit the
buildings and grounds were lit up
with hundreds of electric lights and
Hie scene was magnificent. To day
being Sunday, we have spent in the
city. And such a city it is! To
begin with, it covers more ground
than any city in the world, embrac
, ing no icss than 155 square miles,
i The Mississippi river makes a big
curve around the city in the shape
of a crescent, which gives it the
name of Crescent City. The river
iis higher than the streets and is
prevented from overflowing the
i town only by the levees. There is
, no drainage except on the surface.
The whole country is very flat and
all the mud, slush and filth of every
description flows slowly along the
gutters until i* empties into the
lake four miles awav. Thus we
have a stream on ca b side of every
I street, green with scum, thick with
old rags, cotton and the waste of a
great city, and the -whole ’cdolent
with every scent except something
tha* smells good. If I were the
i cholera or yellow fever I would set
up my head quarters in this place. I
Ard vet it is fairly healthy and I
, does an immense business. Last j
year one and half millions of bales
•of cotton were shipped from this
point and the boys say it would
ship half a million more if the
town girls did not use so much of
it. Where they use it I did not
inquire. Although ibis is Sunday
one could hardly tell it from what
he sees. The vehicles are all run
ning, barrooms all open,
theatres, horse races, picnics,
Arc. Ac., advertise I, and every spe
cies of amusement in full blast. In
fact Sunday is the great holiday
here and every body goes in to en
joy
Warren, Wat and I visited the
cemeteries to dry. Bodies are
buried in vaults above the ground!
as the earth is too full of water to
permit a grave being dug. The
vaults arc all sizes,generally about
five feet wi le, six feet high and
eight feet long, and built of brick
(white washed) granite or marble.
The little buildings, thickly settled
and systematically arranged give a
new meaning to the title i city of
the dead.' 1 hey all hang “iminor
b lies" over the front of the tombs.
I They are generally made of wire
and strung with heeds. Half hid
j den in the grass beside an old, neg-
I lected and ruined vault 1 picked up
an immortelle that had retired from
duty and will take it home as a
| souvenir. Leaving the cemeteries we
■ visited West end, the Central Park
' of New Orleans. It is unquestionably
I the prettiest place I eve'- saw. We
! boated on Pontchartrain, visited
■ the old Spanish Fort, inspected the
shipping, reviewed the military
Ac. Ac., Not much of a Sunday's
work but we have behaved as well
as anybody. This is the great ga—
.la day of the week. Military com-
I panics are arranging to day for the
drill next week. As I write the
roar of canon,blare of bands, yells
and cheers and huzzas of an en
thusiastic multitude till the air and
one would never think of Sunday
being about. Ten military- com
panies are now parading the streets
to the music of as many bands.—
The streets, windows and housetops
are full spectators, and all hav
ing a good time generally.
We are all well and will remain
heie three or four davs longer.

LITERARY NOTES.
Book Notice.
Godey’s Lady's Book for June
has one of the most captivating
frontispieces we have seen yet. It
is a handsome steel-pl ate engraving
which represented “The Puppy
Class'’ at a bench show. Nine very
onto littie dogs in characteristic
poses are arranged on a line for
public inspection, and furnish a fine
study of what is most attractive in
the puppies of some of the best
breeds patronized by our kennel
clubs. The June number of Godey’s
Lady’s Book is replete with illustra
tionsof a fine character. An unusual
ly elaborate view of an ornate inter
ior is furnished this month, togeth
er with a capital work design, a
handsome colored fashion plate, usu
al abundant illustiations in black
and white, and a beautiful cut taken
from a much admired picture by
Luke Fildes, entitled “The Village
Wedding." The story matter in the
June number is excellent. Chris
tian Reid’s short serial is ended, and
a new two-part story by M. R.
Housekeeper is begun. “Through
I ire” is one of the stories submitted
in the Prize Competition, and
shows unusual strength. “The
Doctor’s Dile mrn a,” by
Leigh North, is a spicy little sketch
with a pretty turn to it. The short
stories this month are unusually nu
merous and are all very good. Judg
ing from our own home we
think that Godey’s should be in
every household.

Tii« National Commercial Con
vention.
t The Executive Committee of the
National Commercial Convention,
being desirous that small towns
sb ould be iepjesentxd in that body,
have determined to admit one del
egate from each town having one
thousand inhabitants, and to allow
one additional delegate for each ad
ditional two thousand inhabitants.
Intelligence reviewed indicates
that all sections of the Republic
wil] be largely and abJy represent"
ed, the approaching Convention
being regarded as the most import
taut to the interests of commerce
which has ever been convoked oi
this continent. The Ex. ettive Com
mittee, theicfore, suggests to the
authorities of every dry and town
to appoint and commission the num
her of delegates to which their sev
eral municipalities are entitled.
Arrangements are now being
perfected for extremely low rates
of railroad fare, of which full in
formation will hereafter be given.
