BionT.r.DßmiKK, of Virginia, is bringing himself into ridicule in the fjnited States senate about as fast as -.any man ever did in so short a time. On several occasions be has cast bis single vote against all the votes of <oftbs-others tenstors. The British, foreos under Gen. iStewarl, who fought a severe battle with fho Arabs, in the Soudan, two weeks ago. were not heard from since (Jie battle till Wodceiday. Groat an easiness was ieit throughout Bug- Sand. It was feared they bad been •evatqrhelmcd and every man killed.

Three terrifl| eCpioslous of dyna mite occu rrert In Louden last Sat ur dav.and great destruction was caused, (to Jives were lost though a number -of perrons were Injured. One explo sion was in the Parliament house, another in Westminister hail and the ether in the historic tower of I-o in lon. Those>yxploaione were caused by the enemies of the, British government, ami while humorous srrests have been made there is no satisfaetpry •clue to the perpetrators of the crimes. Tlicse dastardly attempts at Iho de •etruoti-on of the lives of innocent peo ple, have aroused the indignation of ithe wholo civilized world, and the denunciation of thim has been almost universal. Tliey are perpetrated by a tit <rf fanatics who imagine they arc doing tlie nan so off rotud a service but they are groatiy deprecated by the Irish as a people, who recognize the fact that this use of dynamite is of detriment to the cause of this down trodden people. England's Irish policy is oppressive in the ex treme,'but the remedy can never be brought about by dynamite. &ON. JEFFKIWON DAVIS' He K&iea a Short Addrese over the Old Liberty Sell. Du Monday, tho old Liberty Hell was stopped for t short while at the home of Hon. Jefferson Davis, while in transit ts the New Orleans Exposi tion.

Charles TANARUS, Clark, Of Perry, rapped a negro over the head with a small stick as the latter was advan cing on him with a knife. The blow proved fatal, but the minister’# act was justifiable, as the Jury found. The residence ef Willhm J. White, three miles north of Spring Place was consumed by tire Tuesday.

It will be remembered that somo time ago a negro bought a drove of cattle from Booth Bros., of Athens, carried them to Charleston, sold the tame and skipped to Texas with the money. Both Bros, employed a man named Nix to go to Texas after the negro, and furnished hint money for that purpose. Nix went to Texas found the thief and started home with him, but before ho had neared Georgia he says that the negro jump ed off the train and got away. Both Bros, are of the opinion that they have baen duped, as they have written to Nix to either write them or come dawn aud make a statement, which ha docs not seem inclined to do. The Banner-Watchman saya: "The liquor healers of Atlanta and Augus ta say they do not intend to let Athens go for prohibition, as it will ruin the state, and their cities are sure to fol low suit; that they will spend thous ands of dollars before tho law shall be carried here. There is a great leal of excitement over the contest in our ci ty, and tho result will be watched with great iuterest. Our voters do not intend to be bought up with for eign money. We have always argued that when Athens made a break that the other larger cities surely fail into line.” If you want the best cigar in town at five cents call at lluss’ drug store.
