A house moving cloud burst took place near oil creek above Ti tusville Pa., recently and the flood came down on the town with rail road speed. Cholera in Spain. Up to July 13th, there had been 30,000 cases of cholera in Spain, and 13,000 deaths. The scourge has greatly increased since then. The Pall Mall Gazette is snatching the London Aristocracy bald headed, in uncovering to day light the wretched corruption that exists there. Ker. 0. 11. Spur geon is encouraging him in his ef forts. The Constitution quotes Lord Napier as saying that 10,000 farm laborers in India are annually des troyed by tigers. Dr. Fayrer es timates the yearly destruction at 20,000 persons. The tiger is look ed upon with religious venera tion. They had better kill all the tigers. —•» There is no great difference be tween a person whose pride is in his ancestors and one whose pride is in his mule. In either case the per son is nothing to himself.— Coweta Advertiser. That depends very much on what sort of ancestors one has. If they have been good men and have served well their day and genera tion, we see no reason why he should not be proud of them, — proud enough to copy their virtues and emulate their usefulness. An old fellow in the North has discovered that the Earth is a liv ing, breathing thing, and it has what corresponds to flesh and bone and muscles, has likes and dislikes like any other animal. He says: G A man will take breath twenty times a minute, a horse and ele phant much less than that. A mastadon breathed once in everv five minutes, and the Earth breathes once in twelve hours. The mouth of the earth is at the north pole and is one hundred miles wide. Volcanoes are only running sores upon the earth’s body.” The Bartholdi Statue is con* fitructed of copper sheets. It meas ures 150 feet from the base to rhe top of the torch; 111 f co t from the heal to the top of the head. The forefinger is 7 feet 11 in ches in length and four feet 8 inches in circumference at the second joint. The head is 13 feet fi inches in height; the eye over two feet in width, about 40 per sons can stand in the head, and the torch above the hand will hold persons. Ihe top of the torch will be 305 feet feet above the level of the bay . tills bau England is still raising troops and the Russian trouble js not en tirely settled yet. The prospects are favorable to a final settlement of the trouble. It is also probable that the British government will, endeavor to establish a Canton ment near Canda-har in Afghan istan. A dispatch says: 1,000 Persians are at work on the trans Caspian railway, and warlike preparations are still continuing in Russia.— Persia is fortifying Persian Bar rakhs and building barracks there for troops. A foundry is casting heavy guns at Herat, and the Rus sians are bridging the river Mnr<4r ab. liraF The local option bill passed the house on Saturday by a vote of 111 to 22. It provides that when ever a petition signed by one tenth of the voters of any county shall be filed with the Ordinary that officer shall order an election, at which those favoring prohibition shall have on their tickets the words “Against the sale, 5 ' and those opposing prohibition, the words, “lor the sale.” Such election must be held at a time when no other election occurs in the same month. The voters must cast their ballots in the militia district in which they reside. The election must be for the whole county. The bill does not apply to counties that have prohibitory laws in already force, until such laws are repealed. When the election results in fa vor of prohibition the law takes ef fect at once, except as to unexpired licenses, and no other election is provided for. If the result is against prohibition, another elec tion may be held after two years. THE MAILS. Generally wc have had no rea son to complain of the conduct of Postmasters. Wc will say that from three fourths of the offices in this county we have not had any complaint from our subscribers as to the prompt delivery of their pa pers. Butj there have been exas perating complaints from some ofli ces. At one we have lost three sub scribers in the last six months who assigned the failure to get their papers regularly as their sole rea* son for stopping the paper. An investigation developed the fact that the Post-master, when a sub scriber called for his paper and he did . not readily find it was in the habit of tearing the address from another subscriber’s paper and giv ing it to the one calling. This is a palpable violation of law for which a post-master would certainly be removed if it came to the knowß edge of the Post-master General. At anothei office from which we have received complaints we have been informed that persons who are not subscribers are frequently permitted to take a paper out, “just to look over” and feturn it. Any one can see how such a practice must lead to getting papers mis* placed. We have sometimes failed at this office to get the papers out in time—but not since last winter.— Again, it may happen, and has happened at least once that we know of, that a mistake will be made in mailing and a package be longing at one office be sent to an other. In such cases the Postmas ter is not responsible. But if a package has any mark by which he can make out where it belongs it is his duty to forward it. We are prepared to make all due al lowan ances for accident. But our suc cess depends so much on the prompt delivery of our paper, that where repeated complaints came up from the same post office, we feel like insisting * that the Post master there should be more care ful, or get out of the way and let some one have the office that is willing to perform the duties that pertain to it. AU in the Line of Nature. There is nothmg in the line of magic or mystery about that won* derful and popular medmine, Par ker’s Tonic. It is simply the best and . most scientific combination possible of the essential principles of those vegetable curatives which act powerfully and directly on the stomach, liver, kidneys and blood. But there neither is, nor will be, any successful imitation of it. It is all the time curing those who had despaired of ever getting well.—r For yourself, your wife and chil* dren. NEW YORK LETTER. New’ York, July 11th 1885 Editor Times: Now days a trip to New York from Jacksonville, Florida, is not of such moment as a trip from Carrollton to Newnan used to be in the days of our child hood. We skim the continent from San Francisco to Bangor Maine, or from the city of Chihuahua, Mexi co to Burlington. lowa, being in all these places within the space of a few days. Wc left Atlanta, the Gate City of the South, on the Eart Tennessee, Virginia and Geor gia line of road, for a flying trip to this section of the rural vineyard. We on this line of the road visit much of the country that is of interest to all. The route was through the Shenandoah and Cum berland valleys. By this route the traveler is treated to a view of the battle fields of the late “onplcas* antness.” The valley of the Shenandoah is not very wide nor of great extent; but every foot is in a high state of cultivation. We got a glimpse of the natural bridge; soldiers monument at Antietam, and "he wonderful beauties of na ture at the Caverns of Luray. The most impressive scenes that we saw on the route, we believe were the Confederate cemeteries at Sharps burg, Hagerstown and Harrisburg. We noticed with pleasure the mon ument over the grave of Andrew Johnson at Greenville, Tennessee. Looking back for twenty years we sec the awful, dreadful scenes of civil war, death and destruction in the valleys of the Shenandoah and Cumberland. There are their graves, they sleep the sleep of the brave and true patriots to prin ciple and eternal justice. The “pride” and “flower” of the land here fell in the defense of a cause that they believed was right,’ a cause that only sleeps until the natural events and lapse of time shall award and mete out justice; a cause that was right and is right, and can never be otherwise than right through the years to come.— It was and is a cause, a prin ciple that can never be trampled in the dust. When the time * conics, when the moment is auspicious, the accounts will be cast up and justice wil b? meted ont as it deserves.— No sensible being can view these battle fields and see the giaves of the Confederate dead and say they “had no cause or right.” But these are not times for such speech, for at the White House the schemes are being laid and plans, wise, de vised for a sure election of Grover Cleveland in 1888. The President leaves now in a few days for a rural rest among mosquitoes to avoid the persistent and clamorous claims of the chronic office seeker. The rule now is that the man who has the longest petition for an ap pointment gets left. Secretary Lamar, Attorney Garland and Sec rotary Bayard, with assistance of the President are making the best administration the United States has enjoyed for fifty years. The ends of[j civil service will be reached in a pleasant and satisfac tory mannei, the Indian question will sooon be settled and the land theives be put in the penitentiary. Probably the Dolphin will not be accepted, and all these things be accomplished without the world knowing we have such a thing as a Vice President among us. We are a great people. Miss Cleve land s book is now exhausting the fourth edition. Washington is wild over her and she is trulv a lit erary acquisition to the society of the capitol city. She is taking a step in the interest of silk culture which is commendable. Genorid Sheridan left Washing ton night before last for Kansas to direct the Indian war, and report to headquarters. The summer reserts are all crowded and the rush continues for a place to keep cool. In fact wc never saw such hot people before anywhere, even under the equator. Spider legged dudes and natural born fools are as plentiful here, al most in sight of Boston as any place we ever saw. Walking out in the parks you will notice a few idiots here and there who are con stantly breaking out spasmodically in coarse uncouth laughter to at tract the attention of others to their supreme impudence. They are roughs, rowdies, vulgar and pro fane, cowardly and scurrillous, who place their virtue as a sham and have no respect for morality.— These are they, that Sam Jones rhould work on; but limn Georgia is fu'l of them and lie had best work on those at home first. Business is rvthcr dull and quiet, but ti e future is good and a lively trade this fall and winter is expec ted. V» e trust to sec old Georgia farmers soon be the owners of their places and independent.— Plant less c tton, buy less guano and raise home consumption on the farm. Take care of the farm, improve the dwelling and the period of plenty and prosperity will come. A. C. Low KEV. The Evening Capital, We are under obligations to the publishers for copies of 'heir new daily, whose title heads this notice. It is a six column, four page sheet published every evening at 48 S. Broad Street, Atlanta, at $4.00 a year. It’s subscription list, though it is not yet ten days old, has gone beyond 5000. This may be re garded as a marvel in Journalism, even for Atlanta, whose people have made her what she is by giving prompt and cfficent support to every enterprise wisely designed to advance her interest. The Even ing Capitol, judging from what we have seen of it, is well worthy of such support, and the rapid strides it has already taken commend it to country readers with more force than could any words of ours. Address The Evening Capitol, 48 S. Broad St. Atlanta, Ga. Book Notice. Godoy’s Lady’s Book for August is a delightful number, handsomer in appearance, and more generally satisfactory then any of its predcs cessors. Every month seems to mark a stride in the progress of this popular magazine. The pres ent issue opens with a beautiful chiaro-oscuro cut of “My Pets,” a fine study of animal life as contras ted with graceful girlhood, and grouped against a strong back ground of nature. The illustrations this month are capital. A scries of letters describing the trials of one pressed into service to write anoth er’s love letters, under the title of “A Postscript-,” are particularly good. A powerful serial story, translated from the French by Emily Lennox, contiues in this number, under the title of “The Yoke of Honor.’ An entertaining conversation on chicken-culture, incubating, etc., forms a feature of the book, and introduces a scries of projected articles on the useful and ornamental occupations of women. “Phillipa’s Pocket Mon. cy” will furnish some valuable sug gestions to women who are longing for some way to turn a profitable penny. A short parloi drama, called “He is an Englishman,” is given this month for the use of summer idlers who do not care to go too deeply in the histrionic.— “Bella Donna” is a very clever story of limited length, and Mis. Hayden’s “Cup of Cold .Water” is well calculated to win the fancy of all lovers of romance. Godoy’s never looked better than it looks now. In this dav, when so many old publications are verging towaid decrepitude and dotage, it is a pleasure to find one that defies the march of time, and still preserves its pristine vigor and freshness while the years roll on. That all may be convinced of its merits, the Publisher offers to send the book for the remainder of the year for 75 cents. J. 11. HAULENBEEK, P. O. Box, IL 11., Philm A button on the shirt is worth two on the back of the coat. From a Sense of Duty.
