. An Overworked Governor.'
Our Atlanta correspondent writes
that Governor Gordon has almost
broken .down under the strain of his
official duties. In addition to the
constant routine of ordinary exectu-
five busmess, he- has recently been
compelled to hear numerous con-
teits over county offices, after work.
The Florida Travel.
The travel to Florida » "°jH^ s ~ a tray intoThenightlnd'over’tax.
great this year as it was
several reasons why it isn’t are offer-
v.
ed. One is that the winter has been
a remarkably mild one* and northern
people have been content to remain
at home. In view of the fact that
. the travel to California has been very
light, it is fair to presume that the
weather has had some influence in
causing a decrease in the number of
those who in the winter months usu
ally seek a warmer climate.
Another reason is given that the
epidemic of last year has deterred
people from going to Florida. It
is probable, however, that this reason
has little foundation. Thousands of
people have returned lo their Florida
homes since the epidemic and other
thousands have*visited Florida. A s
far as known no one of them has
been attacked by the fever. The
beathfulness of Florida, therefore,
cannot be questioned, and it is
doubtful if anybody has been kept
out of the state- by fear of the fever.
The chief jeason probably for the
light Florida travel is that tbous;
of those who usually, spend if portion
of the winter in that state are now
iring to go to Europe to visit
'At Paris exposition which opens in
r ^/■ 'May next. The steamship compa
nies are preparing to accommodate
a much larger travel than ever before.
The best state-rooms on about all the
European steamers are now taken
lor every voyage up to the last of
July. It is probably safe to estimate
that at least 100,000 Americans will
go to Europe between now and Aug.
1 st. The number of Americans who
are spending this winter in the south
of Europe is unusually large.
Travel to Florida will undoubtedly
be greater during March and April
than it has been at any time this
year. The reports that have been
received from northern cities are cal
culated to make Florid Aotel-keepers
happier, though it is quite certain
that they will not be able to count
this season as one of their prosperous
ones.—News.
ing his strength.
Georgia puts too much labor and
responsibility on her governor. He
most consider all petitions for par
dons and the voluminous evidence
accompanying them. All contested
elections for county officers are re
ferred to him. The convict lease
demands his constant care, and fre
quently he finds it necessary to haul
the lessees up to answer complaints of
abuse of convicts or failure to fulfill
their obligations to the state. The
governor ought to be relieved of
part of the extraordinary burdens
now imposed upon him. A board of
pardons ought to be established.
Such a board could examine more
fully into the evidence and circum
stances in all cases where applica
tions for clemency are made than it
is possible for the governor to do,
pressed as be is by a multiplicity of
other duties
There is no reason why the
ernor shou’d l)eu.5%ty*wcd'- fo dec.de
16r county offices. The
courts in each county could attend to
this business much more satisfacto
rily. Representative Simmons, of
Sumpter, has come to the concfu-
that the law as to county con
tests should be changed so as to
have them determined by the courts
instead of the governor. He will in
troduce a bill to this effect at the
next session of the legislature. It
ought to be passed at once. As to
the convict lease, the responsibility
of the governor will have to continue,
and.there is nothing to indicate that
the system will in the future impose
less care on the executive than it
has hitherto. But there is no reason
why he should not be relieved ot the
work and worry how required of him
by applications for pardons and
wrangles over county offices.—Ma
con Telegraph.
Another complaint might be filed:
Georgia does not pay her governor
enough.
Extra Session Prospects. .
Washington, Feb. 12.—The gen
eral expectation in the House is that
one of President Harrison's first aots
. will bo to call an extra session of the
next congress for April 1. The Indi
ana republicans in the House, all of
whom are in communication with Qcn.
Harrison, and somo of whom have re
cently seen him, say, that there is very
little doubt that General Harrison will
oall the extra session. He does not
think, they say, that the possible per
sonal discomfort to himself,which seems
to be the ohief reason against an extra
session, should be allowed to outweigh
the probablo advantages of such action
to the republican party.
THE ADVANTAGES.
First of all would be, of course, the
organisation of the House, and the
alisation of ultimate majority which
will give the republicans permanent
controll of it. Then oomes the pro
posed change in the rules to prevent fil
ibustering and to facilitate considera
tion of measures supported by a ma
jority. When these things are secured
the legislation whioh the republicans
have marked cut, the new federal elec
tion law, the acts admitting territories,
the aot cutting down the internal rev
enues, so as postpone tariff reform, and
the Blur educational bill, can be put
through. Gen. Harmon doesn’t want
the first regular session of the next
eongress taken up with the organiza
tion of the House and preparations to
oontrol its notion, leaving all legislation
to the chances of the short session fol
lowing. If an extra session is called it
ii likely to last all summer.
A. Short Crop.
The cotton receipts up to date are
set down by the National Agricultu
ral bureau, at Washington, as 2,75*
489 bales. This, says the statistician
of the department, is 84.3 of the to
tal crop, according to careful inquiry.
If these figures are correct, and the
estimate is carefully made up to Feb
ruary 1st, the crop for 1888-89 can
not go over 6,825,000 bales.
Making all allowances for the lit e
seasons and good weather, the
Chronicle does not see how the croj
can possibly go over seven million
bales.—Augusta Chronicle.
Rusk as Secretary of War.
Washington, Feb. 12.—Now that
it seems settled that Gen. Alger has
no chance of going into the cabinet,
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, starts
out again to Indianapolis to tell Gen
Harrison once more what a first-class
Secretary of War the horny-handed
Jcro Busk, of Wisconsin, would make.
Senator 8pooner thinks that Gov. Rusk
will be appointed.
_ .“Can you lie a true lover’s knot,

“No,” replied Mamie, hiding her
blushes with her fan; “but Qur new

Can ad a’s Destiny.
Like a ripe peach, Canada is destin
ed to fall into the hands of the United
States to constitute one 01 more stars
its grand democratic constellation.
The question of annexation is a live
one in Canada and is beiDg excitedly
discussed by prominent citizens of the
dominion. It is reported from Ottawa
that at the conclusion of the present
session of the Federal Legislature, the
government will appeal to the country
on the annexation question. Sir John
MacDonald, premier, has led the gov
ernment for forty jears, but on ac
count of ago, he proposes to retire.
He will be succeeded by Sir Charles
Tupper, present Canadian commissiou-
F.ogland, who will assume the
leadership of the Conservative party.
We lenrn from Herald correspondent
there is au element iu Canada strongly
in favor of union between the United
States and Canada. The western por
tion of the proviccj ot Ontario is said
to be actively in favor of the union
movement. There appears to be no
doubt that the agitation is going, on
and that the movement finds encourage
ment in certain quarters.
It is given out that the Liberal par
ty will espouse the issue of a commer
cial union with the United States du
ring the present session of the Cana
dian parliment. Hon. It W. Scott,
leader of the opposition in the Federal
Senate, only a few days ago, declared
himself in favor of unrestricted
procity with the United States. The
Herald correspondent says:
“They are coming to it rapidly, and
ere the session is over will be out and
out abnexationiats,” was the remark of
a prominent leader of the government
to me a few days ago. “If the Liberal
party makes the annexation question
or the commercial union question
plank in their political plattorm it will
be in order for the government to ap
peal to the country at once. By so do
ing they will obtain a new leaso of
power before the movement has spread
sufficiently to render it a dangerous is
sue for the present government to deal
with?”
Wo do not know that the peoph
the United States arc losing any sleep
ie about- Canadian annexation. Com-
ip moritf union and unrestricted reciproci
ty sound very well, but they are a pre
lade to the annexation that will be pe
titioned for as the voice of the Can
adian people. Thu movement needs no
line.uragement from this tide of the
enco The onion of the two countries
is certain to be brought about by the
interests and public sentiment of the
Canadian people.—Augusta Chronicle.
\ V Manners of India.
Did you ever see a mau with lone
hair who wasn’t a Chinaman?
A little man dressed in solemn black
with his long jetty hair done up inn
French twist and coiled upon the top
of hi* bend gave. n Constitution re
porter n hearty handshake at the
Christian Association yesterday after
noon.
The little man ia' a Hindoo, who
has been lecturing some years in the
United States upon the customs of his
country.
He has a very dark skin, rather
small black eyes, lips a little thick.,
butexquisitely refined, as they parted
in a fine, clear smile over his beauti
ful teeth. The nose was straight and
small, the nostrils very thin and deli
cate. It was a strangely attractive
face, fall of refined, intelligent ex
pression, and its owner, who bore the
name of Sananbrah, spoke English
better than foreigners usually do.
“How long have you studied our
language?” was asked.
“Oh, about twenty years. I am
thirty-nine now and I commenced
studying it when I was a boy.”
“Are you a follower of Budda?”
“No. I was converted when jcynfr
and was baptised bj^ .^fBapfist minis-
I wa^ety young when I first
preach. I was impressed
then, but did not understand him
thoroughly until some years after
ward. See, here are the idols we
worship.”
He showed three very queer, sphinx-
like wooden figures.
“And yonr people really worship
these things?”
Not the idols themselves, but what
they symbolize.” “This,” picking out
wooden figure painted olive green
represents Gaudama, the last of the
Budda gods.”
Tell us your exact idea of the
faith?”
It is principally founded upon
the transmigration of souls. The Budd
hists believe that the souls of men af
ter death go into the bodies’ of beasts.”
“All of them?”
“Yes; the good and bad—the good
going into the body of some sacred
beasts, then going on and on until it
reaches the state of nirvana.” SiSffi
“And what is that?”
“A dreamless sleep.”
“That is what’we call annihilation.'
“It is a Hindoo idea of perfect
happiness. You see the lives of the
Eastern people are so indolent. They
love not to work or to think, and their
happiness lies in mental and physical
inaction.”
“Suppose a man committed a mur
der; what kind of a beast would he be
come after deatln”
<A beast of burden.”
‘Have the Buddhists moral laws
like Christians?”
‘Yes; their laws are like those giv<
the commandments. Their faith
teaches them to be peaceful and for
giving, and none professing it can
drink wine. Grapes, for that retson, are
not grown in* our country:”
‘Have you priests?”
‘Yes, just 1 as they have in the
Christian religion.”
And are they allowed to marry?”
No; they are all celibates. We have
temples and a service much like the
Christians. Jhe temples are mostly
made of stone. The Buddhists say
their prayers with these.”
He held up two long strans of small
and large beads, that would has e been
Catholic rosaries but for the lack of a
A Confederate Home.
It gives tis pleasure to note the
ccess with jvhich Major Joe H.
Stewart, of Texas, is meeting in
the north in his efforts to obtain
funds foY the aid of the home for
Confederate Veterans at Austin,
Texas.
The appeal of this embryo institu
tion seems to destroy politics effect
ually.
In Boston, the good people gave
$2,500 for the benefit of the home,
and the inmates are now eating what
may be called Boston bread. It is
good healthy bread, too, and the
poor unfortunates, who have no pen
sions to bank 00, enjoy it as they
should.
There i$ nothing sectional in the
appeal that is made to the generosity
of the north. In Texas and the
south there are hundreds of old con-
iederate soldiers who need aid. To
aid them this Texas home has been
established. It is sadly lacking in
comforts of all kinds, and to add to
these the help of the generous people
oi the north is asked. The appeal,
as we have said, has not been in vain.
Boston has contributed most liberally.
Chauncey Dcpew has con
sented to receive such funds as the
people of New York may choose to
contribute.—Constitution.
THE POJP-EYED GALOOT.
A well organ zed crusade is to be
made in the South by the Mormon
Churob. Oae hundred and fonrteen
elder* have enlisted for this service, one
dezm of whom are assigned to Georgia.
The labors of their predecessors have
been confined to the northern part of
the state, and occasionally they have
found warm reetptions there. They
have captured a number of weak-
minded converts in this state tinea the
war, bnt for several years past their
experience in Georgia hat been dccid-
«dly rough.—Macon Telegraph. *

“What are your funeral services?”
“We cremate always. We take the
body to the funeral pyre wrapped in a
white winding sheet and chaat ca cur
way and during the services.”
“Do you save the ashes and put them
in urns?”
“Never, all is consumed and scat
tered.”
“Do you yourself believe in crema
tion?”
“Yes; I think it the best mode of
disposing of the body after death.'
“Do you use flowers in your funeral
c-rremonies?”
“Yes-^-flowers of all colors, and al
ways jassmines and tuberoses. Our
color for mourning is a pale yellow, but
mourning garments are worn only by
widows, and they remain widows and
wearing mourning until they die. They
are not allowed to marry again.”
“And the husbands are not made to
mourn at all?''
“Ob, they mourn according totaste,
and get married when they please.”
“How about courtship in India?”
“There’s no courtship—no love mak
ing. The parents settle that, and the
young people do not see each other
until their wedding day. Then there
is a grand festival and the bridegroom
wears this garment woven for him by
the bride.”
He held oat a short shirt of heavy
linen and colored red and white.
From his trunk he took the finest silk
en fabries ever wrought. One piece
in gaudy designs was hand woven and
cost $500, and tho making of this took
two whole years. It was simply
piece of silk foot yards long and <
yard wide.
There were beautiful vails of finest
silk ticsoe, hand wrought, with deli
cate silken flowers; scarfs and turbans
of silk that changed and gjowed in
every fold, as brilliaai they
the tropical skies heovth which they
were wrought, and this display of fine
fibrin would have been the envy of
icon lady fond cf silken hang
ings for her home.—Constitution.
Mizs Ha ygood’s Work in China.
From the Atlanta Journal.
During the first year MisaHaygood's
health was good, the second it under
went a change, and her nervous system
was thoroughly relaxed by the climate,
but now she is in a perfect state of
health, and her work is progressing
finely. The climate in China is very
similar to that in Cuba, and is warm
and debilitating until one becomes ac
customed to it.
Miss Laura has the management of
all the woman’s work of the Southern
Methodist church in Shanghai, includ
ing the supervision of six other lady
missionaries, 12 day schools, in which
taught 270 children, and a boarding
school, where girls are being taught
with the utmost care for teachers. She
has made broad, wide plans for the fu
ture, as shown in the high school for
girls and home training for young mis
sionaries, as well as one for Bible wom
en. The lot for the buildings has been
purchased, the money is in hand to
erect them, and all that is to furnish
and equip them. She has been trans
lating the gospels and books needed in
the schools into the Romanized Chinese,
a boon inestimable to girls limited to
three or four years in school with the
perplexing characters of their
books. A gentleman in Shanghai says
she accomplished as much the first ye:
as most missionaries do in ten, and now
with renewed health she can carry
forward the work to larger proportions
and deeper interest.
111m Name Against llim<
The Hon. Daniel Dougerty, who
is heard at Central Music hall last
nfght, entertained a few Iriends at
dinner in this city, and for three
hours charmed them with his fund of
anecdote. Three brighter hours
never passed, from all I have been
told. “My name has always been
against me,”be said, as he turned the
conversation to himself. “A few
year ago I was invited to be one of
a number 01 prominent people
made an inspection of the state pen
itentiary of Pennsylvania. In going
through one of the corridors an at
tendant had occasion, not knowing
who I was, to call out the name of
Dan Dougerty, and in the twinkling
of an eye three of the hardest look
ing criminals I ever saw, popped
their heads out and answered ‘Here.’
Mr. Dougerty’s guests roared at this
story, for he told it as it can never be
told in t\pe. They had hardly re
covered from holding their hands to
their sides, when he added: “There
has been a Dan Dougerty hung
Pennsylvania every year since I can
remember.” The plates fairly
danced on the table.—Chicago

“It was back in thomxtiea when I
first saw my desperado” said the doctor.
When he came into camp I didn't
know whether he was a bad man, or
pretender in that line. was tall,
angular, wiry and singularly unhand
some. He wore a nut of bUek broad
cloth and a tall hat; and ecrupuloedy
clean inthe matter of linen and per
sonal appearance. The right leg of
his trousers was tacked into. his boot,
and the left Jeg was out in proper
style. In his boot he carried an enor
mous bowie knife, and yon could see
by the set cf his frock coat that he
packed a gun.
He spoke slowly and deliberately,
and was punctiliously polite. His long
drawl heightened the effect of his cere
monious courtesy, and at the same
time proclaimed him a southerner. He
seldom swore, and never drank, and
his only small vice was smoking. He
occasionally referred to himself as a
‘pop-eyed galoot from Ark ansa jr,” and
he was.
“Although my gentleman in broad
cloth was politeness personified, he was
very aggressive and quick to take of
fense. If he heard anybody making a
bluff about fighting, he couldn't keep
his tongne still, but came right to the
front and with an offer to fight any-
how, anywhere, and at any time. Tow
ard quiet and peaceable men he was
gravely courteous and never in the
least aggressive, but if a fighting
showed up Gibbons was uneasy until
he had driven the fellow out of camp.
Of course he had to prove hia claim
1 fighter before he had been in the
camp very long. One evening a big
fellow, bristling with deadly weapons,
came swaggered into the saloon, and
ordered all hands up to the bar. Al,
responded except Gibbons, who re
mained seated, and paid no attention to
the fellow. When the stranger turned
about and said: ‘Come up here, Pop-
eye, and take your medicine !’ ‘I am
much obliged to you, sir, but I never
drink.’
“After all had taken their drink and
walked away, Gibbons stepped up to
the bar keeper: ‘Give mo a cigar.’ The
stranger turned upon him and said:
‘D—n you, I didn’t ask you to have a
cigar.’
‘D—n you, sir,’ rejoined Gibbons, ‘I
didn’t ask you to pay for my cigar.
And d—n you, sir, don’t you talk to
me in that way, or I will cut your head
off, sir.’
“ ‘Start right in,’ said tho strauger.
‘I’vo got a tough neck to cut.’ But
before he could draw a weapon my bad
man in broadcloth seized him by the
hair, bent bis head back, whipped ont
the big bowie, and made two lightning
slashes at the fellows throat. The
point of the knife just cut the skin
eoough to draw blood at each stroke.
Letting go his hold, Gibbon drawl
ed, ‘I’ve a pretty good knife for cat
ting, strangir,’and walked away, su
premely contemptuous of the fellow,
who sneaked out of camp.
“The last time I saw Gibbons he was
just getting over a little fracas with
Mexican. The greaser was a noted
knife fighter, and his presence in camp
made Gibbon uneasy, bat. no chance
for picking a fight occurred. One day
Gibbons, who could endure it no long
er, met the Mexican and politely asked
him if he was heeled. The man re
plied that he was net. ‘Very well,’
said Gibbons, ‘go and get your knife,
sir, because I intend to 1
the next time I have the pleasure of
meeting you.’
“They met within an hour. Gib-
bans received thirteen wounds on the
left side, and one thrast was in his
throat, the Mexican’s blade going clear
through the neck. The Mexican was
killed.”
The Cigarette Habit.
There is a Li i pea-iicg before the
Pennsylvania IegL-hlurc. to prohibit
tho sale of tob&ooo to persona under
sixteen yean of age. The act is evi
dently rimed at tho cigarette traffic,
which ia chiefly supported by boya who
believe it to he an evidence of maiHnoM

Tobaceo is a very good thing in its
place. It is soothing to the nerves,
and is really in the nature of a medi
cine; some temperaments demand it,
others rtjecfc il; lot the fact remains
that the cigarette is tho worst and moat
poisonous form of toWco.
Grown men do not smoke it, and sensi
ble men are disgusted when they smell
The* cigarette habit, however,
should not be oonfased with the tobac

Home and the State.
Marriage has been defined
contract between two parties and the
state. Because of the children the
state is supposed to have a special
concern in the matter. This is no
doubt true, but it means rather
less than is generally supposed. The
state has an interest in everything
that effects a human being, down to
the minutest details of his daily life.
It matters to the state every time
man smokes more cigars than are
good for him, every time a woman
pinches in her waist. It matters to
the state very much when men grow
absorbed in the business of money
and have no time or ability to assist
in the development of a higher type
of manhood. It matters to the state
perhaps even more when women give
themselves wholly up to the care of
their households and the rearing of
their children, rendering themselves
unfit for their task and sending forth
into the already overburdened world
swarms of in-trained, stupid, predju
diced human beings whose influence
upon their fellows is evil and retro-
gaffing.
AU these things concern the state
nearly, but the state cannot send in
spectors into our homes to count the
cigars of the men and inquire into
the system of edocatiou adopted by
the women.—Cor. Westminster
News.
We do not know how the Pennsyl
vania law would operate, even if it
were passed. It sccm3 to be a very
vague affair at best. Probably the
best method ot preventing boy* from
ruining their health by indulging in
cigarettes would be to prohibit the
sale of cigarettes in the state. Such a
law might hurt the feelings of manu
facturers and retail dealers, but it is
better for these persons to have thei»
feelings raffled a little than for our boys
and young men to grow up sallow-fac
ed and pigeon-breasted as a result of
rice paper and morphine poisonio;
We trust the Pennsylvania bill will
be adopted, but we are not sure it will
be effective.—Constitution.
We take pleasure in giving the ci
garette a dig, with the above, When
a boy gets thoroughly inoculated with

Can Animals Count?
Houzeau de la Ilaie tells of a peli
can living in a fishermun’s iamily at
Santo Domingo that was fed upon the
refuse of the fish cleanin?. Looking
for its food, it went to the shore every
day and waited for the boats to come
back. The fisherman rented on Sun
day, and the bird acquired so clear a
notion of the return of that day, when
it had to fast, that it would not stir
from the tree on which it was accus
tomed to tpend its time. D is not
necessary to suppose that the pelican
had learned to count the sir days at the
end of which its masters would not go
fishing; but, while it really estimated
daily the time whin it must make its
excursion to the shore, it was informed
of tho return of Sunday by observation
of what was griog on in tho house,
for instance, by the fi'hirimn ju'tiog
on their Sunday clothes; in i
way as the dog knew when Us master
was going to hunt by seeing Mm with
hia gun and game bag. In such
stances animals show that they have
the faculty of a«sociitiDg ideas, of ob
serving facts atd establishing
relative conccciim between them—
things which have been provid by
abundance of other evidence, and
which demonstrate not less intelligence
than acquaintance with the ten signs
exposing the first ten numbers, or the
use of a syniem of numeration to ex
press larger number.*.—Mrne. C’lcrn-

Maine doesn’t seem to believe in
ballot reform. A legislative com
mittee, which considered the subject,
made an adverse report on
Maine is Mi. Blaine’s state. Probab
ly Mr. Blaine thinks that all attempt*
at ballot reform shou’d be confined
to the south.—Ex*
O, no, Mr. Blaine don’t want re-
foim at home. It is other people
whom he is anxious to reform. If
the cabinet, and the presumption is
that he wifi be, he will lay his heavy
hand on the South. And the South
will defy the tat.oced man from
Maine. He has always iefiicted all
the damage on the South in his pow-
Let him do bis worst.
