ALLEN D. CANDLER.
There is no better man and no
better Democrat in Georgia than
Allen D. Candeer. He has been
trusted and tried in private and pub
lic positions, and never found want
ing in the discharge of duty. In
war and in peace he has exemplified
the best manhood and the highest
patriotism of Georgia. One of the
! plain people, he has come up fiom
the plow handles and filled offices of
honor and trust with zeal, fidelity
and ability. He will ever be found
faithful to the welfare of the people,
and the honor and the interests of
the State will be safe in his keeping.
As governor of Georgia, Allen
D. Candler will be the right man in
the right place.—Augusta Chronicle.
THE COTTON CROP.
The latest cotton letter of Lathem,
Alexander & Co. shows that the ef
forts to secure a decrease in the acre
age of the cotton crop have been of
no avail. From their 2,488 corres
pondents in the South Messrs. La
them, Alexander & Co. find that
there has been a decrease of five and
one-half per cent, but they attribute
it not to organized effort on the part
of cotton growers’ associations, but
to the continued low price of cotton,
the rise in the price of food crops,
and the refusal of merchants, in the
face of war, to make as liberal ad
vances to farmers as they have here
tofore done.
It is not probable that this slight
decrease will have any verv appre
ciable effect on the price of cotton
this fall unless the seasons conspire
to further shorten the crop. The
farmers must make more than a five
per cent decrease for much good to
come to them.

We suddenly find ourselves by De

What shall we do with it ? First,
we must make our occupation safe
and sure—which ought to have been
provided for in advance of the taking
—and then face
more at our leisure. But it is a dif
ficult problem, and it would be un
fortunate to continue to underesti

AIR OF MAMMOTH CAVE.
So Pure and Bracing That It Might B*
Utilized For a Sanitarium.
In The Century there is an article
on “The Mammoth Cave of Ken
tucky” by John R. Proctor, former
ly state geologist of Kentucky. Mr.
Proctor, in describing the tour of
the cave, says:
Some distance on we come upon
two stone cottages built against one
of the walls of the avenue. These
are the remains of a number that
were built in the cave in 1843 for
the abode of consumptive patients.
It was believed that the pure air of
the cave w’ould effect a cure, and 15
consumptives took up their abode
here, and remained tor five months
without going outside. It is said
that when they did go out three died
before they could reach the hotel.
Something more than purity is re
quired—sunlight. It is said that
the saltpeter miners had remarkable
health while working in the cave,
and persons with weak lungs are
certainly benefited by short walks
in this atmosphere. I believe, in
time, that these immense reservoirs
of dry, pure antiseptic air will be
utilized for the cure of consumption
and asthma, not by sending the pa
tient into the cave, but by bringing
the air into sunlit sanitariums on
the dry, well drained elevated sand
stone plateaus above the caves.
We know the air is dry, because
the timber carried in in 1812 has not
decayed, and iron hinges have been
here since 1843 and show no sign of
rust. We know the air is pure, be
cause here animal matter does not
decay, but simply dries up. The
mummies found in the caves were
not prepared mummies, but simply
desiccated bodies. The uniform
temperature of from 53 degrees to
54 degrees the year round has been
demonstrated. Consumptives take
long sea voyages and visit high al
titudes to get the benefit of aceptic
atmosphere, but they suffer from
variations of temperature, from
storms, and at high altitudes exer
cise cannot be taken, while the cave
air predisposes one to take exercise
with little fatigue. I have known
delicate women to walk for nine
hours in the cave, clambering up
steep ascents and over rocks, and
come out of the cave feeling no
sense of fatigue until they reached
the warm, impure air outside,
charged with the odors of decayed
vegetation, when they would al
most faint and would require as
sistance in ascending the path to the
hotel.
We think the atmosphere in the
glen at the entrance remarkable for
purity before we have become sensi
tive by hours in the pure atmos
phere of the cave. I once went with
a friend and a guide to Roaring
river and several other remote
places, which required remaining in
the cave overnight. It was night
when we came out, and we had be
come so sensitive by our stay of 36
hours in the pure air of the cave
that we were almost overcome by
the suffocating mephitic odors and
oppressiveness of the outer air. We
dreaded to inhale it into our lungs
and returned again and again into
the pure air flowing from the cave.
Air freed from bacteria is one of
the main reasons fir success in
modern surgery and a sanitarium
into which this air could be pumped
would doubtless be resorted to for
difficult surgical operations. Con
sumptives in high altitudes are com
pelled to remain indoors in winter
weather and breathe the vitiated air
of closed rooms, while in sanitari
ums supplied with cave air, by let
ting the air in at the upper part of
the rooms and out at the lower part,
all exhalations would pass out and
pure air would be constantly rush
ing in at a uniform temperature,
winter and summer. Then it would
be a boon if we could escape the op
pressive heat of summer into hotels
kept cool and pure by the air from
these great dry caves.
Do Maurier’a Limitations.
If there had been no Charles
Keene (a terrible supposition both
for Punch and its readers), I should
have done my best to illustrate the
lower walks and phases of London
existence, which attract me as much
as any other. It is just as easy to
draw a costermonger or a washer
woman as it is a gentleman or lady
, —perhaps a little easier—but it is by
j no means so easy to draw them as
Keene did, and to draw a cab or an
omnibus, after him, though I have
sometimes been obliged to do so, is
almost tempting Providence.
If there had been no Charles
Keene, I might perhaps, with prac
tice, have become a funny man my
-1 self, though I do not suppose that
my fun would have ever been of the
broadest.—George du Maurier k

FANCIES OF CARD PLAYAS.
Every One Who “Sits” In a Game Is Gov
erned by Superstition.
“Card players are a most supersti
tious set,” said a business man who
will occasionally “sit” in a little
game when the limit is to his liking
and the company of unexceptionable
quality.
“There was a new oue on me the
other night,” lie continued, “for one
of the men, when we were taking
seats, shifted his position because he
wanted to play with the grain of the
table—that is, he wanted his cards
to come to him with the grain of the
round table and not crossways. Thia
was a new one, as I said, but it re
called the fact that all of them have
a weakness. For instance, where is
the card player who will play cards
while some outsider has a foot on
the rung of his chair? Then there is
the other fellow who will get up and
walk around his chair to change his
luck and the other who will never
lend a chip if ho is winning. Why,
I saw a man the other night who re
fused a chip or two to a neighbor in
the game, but he went down in his
trousers, pulled out a roll and hand
ed his friend an X and told him to
buy a few’ from the banker.
“Poker, too, has given the coun
try some of the richest of slang.
Take the word ‘bluff,’ and where
can you find a better word i I sup
pose it is in the Century and the
Standard, or, if it isn’t, it should be,
for the word is completely accepted
now by the best of writers every
where in this country and England
too.
“ ‘Standing pat’ was used in a
courtroom a short time ago. Some
lawyer was asked by the judge what
he intended to do after a certain de
cision had been rendered on a mo
tion. He said he guessed he would
‘stand pat.’ It wasn’t strange that
the judge comprehended the situa
tion and, without a word, went on
after the other lawyer said that his
opponent would do well ‘to draw
cards, as standing pat had no terrors
for him.’ More than that, every
reference was thoroughly under
stood by every lawyer within the
railing. It was just at this time that
the judge added to the confusion by
ordering one of his bailiffs to turn
on the steam, as his feet were cold.
For the benefit of the uninitiated it
is worth saying that the cold feet
refers to a habit of some small gam
blers who play for the money that
is in it, saying as an excuse, ‘My
feet are cold,’ and getting out of a
game when they are ahead.
“That reminds me that women as
well as men are natural gamblers,
and in consequence there have been
many friendships of long standing
among women ruined forever by
progressive euchre. Why, I have
played in games where the cheating
of some of the women was as pal
pable to a man who is accustomed to
card playing as the nose on your
face, but I said nothing, as the wom
an would have been mad and denied
everything and placed me in the
hole. Look at the prizes they play
for now.
“There’s the head prize for men
and women and tho booby or con
solation prize for men. Then there
are second and third prizes and the
prize for making the greatest num
ber of points and the prize for the
least number and a prize for the
greatest number of mistakes, and
the Lord knows how many others.
It’s a regular gambling game, but
the same who indulge in that kind
of sport will jump on a man who
plays a little quiet game of poker at
home.
“Nor is the gambling instinct ob
literated from the progressive social
games entirely, for there was a
game I heard of where the head
prize was made up of five $5 gold
pieces, all tied up with blue ribbon,
and you can bet the men in that
game were working hard for the
head prize, for some of them wanted
that $25 with a want that must be
filled. I expect some of them cheat
ed, but as a lady who was a guest
at the home of the hostess got all
the ‘mon’ and the hostess did the
punching of the tickets there was a
faint suspicion that a few extra holes
got into the young lady’s card by
mistake—on purpose. But of course
I don’t make a charge like that. I’m
only thinking.”
In reply to a query, “What’s your
superstition?” the talker said: “I’ve
only one. I won’t play in a game
when I have on a single thing that
has never been worn before, not
even a necktie. Takes my mind
away from the game, and therefore
I never wear a new thing when I
am going to play poker. ”—Cincin
nati Commercial Tribune.
Study the Goose.
There is much to study about a
goose. Just observe a flock of geese
some day when you are out visiting
on a farm. They'll give you amuse
ment by the hour.
A goose hasn’t the slightest idea
of breadth or depth. The assertion
that every goose that passes through
an open barn door ducks its head,
no matter if the opening be 20 feet
high, is as true as can be, and, while
a goose can’t be made to believe
that there is no danger to its head
as it passes over the sill of a barn
door, it is equally positive that it
can creep through a 2 inch augur
hole or a knot hole in a fence just as
easily as it can go through a 20 foot
door, and with more safety to its
person. I have laughed myself sore
more times than a few at the per
sistence of some old goose in trying
to enter an inclosure through a hole
in the fence hardly big enough to
get its head through, while a gate
big enough for a team of horses to
pass through was wide open within
three feet of the hole.—New York
Sun.
