Jack O’Hartz in a recent letter to

the recent killing of Eugene Robin
son by young White iu a bar room
in Atlanta, that, "There is an opin
ion in the community that is thor
oughly a unanimous one, viz., that
the homicide was another one of the
terrible crimes for which whisky is
solely responsible. But for the bar
rooms Gene Robinson would have
to-day been a live, happy and pros
perous young man. The gin mills
prepared him for the awful fate that
overtook him so suddenly. Yet the
whisky dealers wonder at the rapid
growth of prohibition sentiments.
I venture to say that this tragedy
has gained hundred of advocates for
prohibition right here in Atlanta."

A SKETCH OF CAHLISLE’S LIFE.
Mn Carlisle was boan September
5th, 1835, in Kenton county in Ken
tucky. His early days wero spent
in securing an education such as
the country schools of those days
afforded, at the same time support
ing himself by his own labor. An
opportunity was presented and
jroung Carlisle began the study of
aw in Covington. At the eud of
two years be was ‘admitted to the
bar, in 1858, and so rapid was his
rise in the profession and so great
his popularity with the public that
he was elected a member of the Low 1
er House of the Kentucky Legisla
lature in 1864, a State senator in
1866, and again 1869, a lieutenant
governor in 1871, serving until Sep
tember, 1875.
Mr. Carlisle was then relieved
from the heutonunt-g vernorship b;
his election to the Forty-fifth un<
Forty-sixth Congri sses. Ho was re
turned to the Forty-seventh. Con.
gross, in which he became a conepic-
uous figure, and now he is Speaker
of the Foity-eighth.
Personally, Mr. Carlisle is quite
dignifi.id, >very courteous iu man

HIS ACCEPTANCE.
Messrs. H. L. Middlebrooks, J
Duggan, and Mark Johnston.
Gentlemen—
Your note of the 2t th inst. inform
ing me that I had been, by acelama
tiou, unanimously nominated to rep
resent the 20th district in the next
General Assembly of the State, has
just been handed me:
In gratefully accepting the posi
tion to which your confidence and
our kindness have assigned me,
ieg to express my gratification at
the unanimity of your action. If
augur -, well for the good of the par
ty. Whatever may be said of prin
ciples and platform and issues, ~
party organization, unanimity is,
aBt, tho watchword of success.
In taking—as you are pleased
represent it—the flag staff of the
party from your hands, I a“
strengthened to know that I bear
in front of a united organized de
Bishop Simpson and the Widow's
Son.
In 1850 Cincinnati was visited by
the cholera, which desolated many
homes. A littlo boy, Willie Camp
bell, who attended the Wesley Chap
el Sonday-scbool, was one of the
victims. His mother was a widow,
and earning her support as a wash
woman, living on the hill side near
the tbp of Mt. Adams The pastor
was out of the city. The mother
was greatly distressed aud appealed
to the officers of the school, aB she
did not like to bury her child with
out funeral servioe. The writer ap
plied to several ministers without sue
cess. The time for the funeral was
near at baud, and the poor widow
seemed to feel it Bo keenly that I
went to the Book Concern, then on
the ooruer of Main and Eighth Sts.,
and was told that the only minister
ubout was Editor Simpson. I was
quite young then, and it was with
great hesitation I entered the edi
tor’s room, as a stranger, to ask him
to preach the funeral of the p
widow’s ohild. He was very busy
writing. I stated the case, and be
laid down his pen, but did not say,
I am very busy." I saw that he
did not say, “It was very hot.'
knew that he did not say, “Go an
ask some other minister.” He di
not attempt in any way to evade, and
if 1 bad asked him to preach the
funeral of the greatest dignitary of
the land, he could not have consen
ted more cheerfully. He simply said:
“My young brother, if you will go
with me and shew the way, 1 will
go." Aud that hot, sultry afternoon,
away upon the billable, in a little
tenement room, we made oar way,
he to solace the heart of the poor
washwoman, and preach a sermon
that was full of power. You may
call this a little thing to do 1 call
it a great act, and drew my heart to
opiuion that he is h 6hni‘iiot**r of
more (Iiku ordinary ability, by na
ture and tact a brilliant Itivd vr and
oonsci -utious politician. Tln-couu
try at large will anticipate his ea
r» tr as Speaker witb considerable
interest.

Georgia’s womleiftil Lulu, who

East with her strange powers, ha
returned to her home near Cedar
town, accompanied by her father and
mother. As they passed through
Chattanooga Monday night Mibb
Lulu was interviewed by a reporter
The following is an extract from the
interview: “Did yout power ever fail
while vou were giving exhibitions?"
“No, s'ir, I think it has grown stron

not know I love him," she add. d,
tucking her head and raising her

The foolish boys and the bad boya
always pay the moat attention to the
fastest girls until they get too far
along and then the boya quit wait
ing on them in company. The tim
id, modeet, prudent girls, always
marry first, and than get the bast
hnsbande too. I do hope, Doctor,
that there is not as mnon looseness
in associations of the young folks in
Georgia sb there is here in Missis
sippi. If there is I am sorry for tbs
Georgia that is to be 30 or 40 years
from this time.
Somebody ought to talk plainly
to our girls. They are mightily to
blame for these things. A boy will
inch along and take every liberty a
girl will hermit him to take. He
will stand off at arms length and ad
mire a girl and almost worship her
if she wants it.tbat way; but if she
permits him to come too close and
take undue liberties be will despise
her in bis soul when away from oar.
Mothers ought to talk to their
girls about these things-they onght
to nip forwardness and fastness in
the bud. If need be oare your girl

that may be very romantic, bat it ia

grace on yonr family and to send

I see signs in pnblio places among

heart.

their views of public policy; outspo
ken in their patriotic devotion t<

commanding the admiration of their

The quaint old town of St. Au
gustine, Floiida, proposes early in
September to appropriately cele
brate the three hundred and nino
teeoth anniversary of its foundation.
Many of the houses first erected
there are still standing, and many of
the ancient landmarks yet remain
The old Spanish fort is quite a fa
mous place of resort. St. Angus
tine is the oldest town in the United
States, and is suggestive in its
uniqueness and old-time surround
ings. From there DeSoto and
Ponce de Leon started on their
wonderful exploring expedition.
About $40,000, including expenses

winter. I shall travel under the
management of Mr. Charles Proh-
man, owner of the Madison Square
Theatre iD New York. My next en
gagement is in San Francisco, where
I appear on Sept. 18, and will remain
there four weeks. I shall then make
a tour of the entire West.” Anoth
er authority about the Georgia won
der, who has enjoyed the whole bus
iness, and who has some points,
says that within the next two weeks
Mibb Lulu Hurst will Btart for Cali
fornia to give;a series of ten exhibi
tions in that State. Mr. A. Hay-
man, manager of the Baldwin Thea
tre, has agreed to give her $1,000
apiece for these entertainments, and
as soon as they are closed the young
lady and her interesting coadjutors
will come straight back to Chicago
to resume their tour. It is under
stood that a special palace car has
been secured for the transportation
smile. The sides of the oar will be
carefully padded, so that the inter
esting article in question cannot
possibly be bruised or otherwise in
jured. Two performances will be
given in the Tabernacle, in Salt Lake
City, a place which is said to be ca
pable of seating some 5,000 people.

Doctor, it hurts me to seo a grow
ing tendency to wildness among our
girls here in Mississippi.
Some mothers are in a great har
ry to get their daughters out into
society and have them receive the
attention of young men. The fact
is, we have few girls now, and I am
sorry for it, for I always loved girls.
We have childrou and young men
and youDg ladies. They have about
done away with boys and girls—the
“frying size" among the young folks.
These boys that would be young
men are the biggest set of “gooses’’
ever saw except the girls who
would be young ladies.
These girls, doctor, I am sorry to
snv it, but they permit the boys to
take too many liberties with tbem
liberties not suited to firBt cousinB
and hardly suitable for brothers and
sisters.
The way they take od would do
pretty well for a newly married
couple, provided they were at home
iu a private room where no one
would see them.
“Now, Dootor, you needn’t say
“pooh! poohl nonsense!" or some
thing of that kind, for 1 tell you it
is so, If this thing isn’t stopped
trouble iB going to come of it as sure
as yon are born. Trouble of th-
worst kind haB ulieady come of it
here in Mississippi, but the girls
keep on the same way, and the silly
mothers say: “Well, Mr. Jones’ girls
may do wroDg and disgrace them
selves, but my girls won’t do bo.’
Some folks forget that human na
ture is pretty much tbs same all
over the world.
1 may be wrong, but somehow I
keep a thinking that we are too
Ioo8e in our family government
these times- indeed 1 might say we
have no family government.
The girls are too loose, too “slaek
twisted," and too bold in their asso
ciations with the boys these days.
They may not mean any harm at
the start, but harm will come of it
iu most cases as sure as you live.
Why, Doetor, I know of a good ma
ny girls now whose good name and
character are mightily smirched; and
the eirls have exposed themselves
to all that has been said. I don’t
know that they have done re^l bad
things, but they have skimmed aloog
so close to the edge of sin that their
garments have been fouled. Doetor,
if my wife were to die 1 don't know
what I would do for another wife.
I don’t want to marry an ngly old
woman, an J 1 wouldn't have one of
these fast girls. I,m afraid they are
not as dean every way as a man's
wife ought to be. When I do meet
