The Washington correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution writes: One
i of tlife Inony remarkable things about
the new president in hie power of
physical endurance. He had a stout
constitution to start with. This he
lms preserved and improved by his
active and atheletic habits of life. He
was in early manhood fond of the
society of congenial spirits and, to a
degree, eonyival, but he has always
been remarkably regular in his
habits. His firm brawn and hisex
< -client disgestiun are powers back of
hie imperturbility as well as his lo
gocul mind and his firm will. Nature
generally mates the qualities of phy
sical and mental composure. The
very appearance of Mr. Cleveland on
the day of his inauguration inspired
faith in the strength of his character.
A serener man was perhaps never
scon. He walked into the senate
chamber as if he had .performed the
same aet every day for a year past.
He delivered his inaugural as if he
were giving a daily report of the
condition of the government. He
went through the slow procession
to the capitol, through the ceremo
nies attendant on the inauguration of
both president and vice-president,
and the long tedious ride lmck to the
white house through the narrow aisle
which was, with difficulty, kept op on
in the dense multitude of cheering
sovereigns to whom we had to bow,
right and left, ns his tardy coach
proceeded. Then he stood for near
ly three hours reviewing the march
ing host, and when he finally entered
the white bouse had to sit out an
honra’s social acrvlec si the elaborate
lunch prepared by the commander
Mr. Arthur In honor of his aucceaaor.
Then came the lingering horror of the
inaugural iihamitm].
guests pushing and crowding around
him until 2 o'clock In the morning.
There were fourteen hours of lnces
• ml strain upon mini and body -quite
enough to lay oui *n ordinary man.

A recent dispatch from Waahlng
ion city aaya: It l not tumioinlily
expected the new President will
begin 14* W*} 1 ’ 1 * 4M i but those Who
export to see faint art hastily will he
disappointed. >Some of llie Dento
orntt here, Whtt may bo animated by
the best and most patriotic motives,
ai-o becoming feoitvinced that there ts
a man of strong purtoso at the gov
ernment and that it will not do to
hope for a rapid and reckless swing
ing of tlio Excntive axe. It Is said
that a delegation from a Southern
State called upon him to day and
kindly Informed him that it had ar
ranged how tho Federal ofliers in
their State should pe distributed.
The President t reported to have
heard the programme or the visiting
party, after which ho told them that
ho did not propose to move with
inconsiderate hsste, and that ho in
tended to bn governed by tho princi
ple* enunciated In his leltor, written
after the election, on civil service
reform.
DEATH or DR. THOMAB P. JAMES
_____
A dispatch of the 10th to the Au
gusta Chronicle, freui Greene, boro,
<>*.. says; Dr. Thomas P. Janes died
at his rokideneo, about seven miles
from Greene shore, this evening.
About twelve o'clock the hinds
Marking an Ids farm found him ly
ing in the Held in an unconscious
♦•million. They removed him to
Ids homo, but he died before medi
nd assistance eon id reach him.’ Tho
report ia that lie died from an over
dose of morphia, but whether admin
istered with an intent to kill himself
is not known. Dr. Janos has been
stiflbring for seme lime from nervous
affection, brought on by financial
anxiety and it is thought that he
took the morphia to easo Ids nerves.
Dr Junes wra formerly a very woalthv
man, hut ha* been very imfor
lunate and in a few years has lost
much monev, although Ills property
is still estimated as being worth from
125,000 or $30,000. lie was at one
time Commissioner of Agriculture
far Georgia, and was a man who
had done much to advance the farm
ing bushiest of the State. He was a
kind and affable gentleman, end a
mauoflarge experience. His death
will be feit in the county and will
cause much regret. E.

Under the caption.of “Georgia’*
New Historian,” the New Orleans
I’icayune hae the lollowing: “The
Picayune hae received a small patn
piiietofa little more than a hundred
pages, entitled “The Commonwealth
of Georgia; the Country, the People,
the Pi eductions.” Thiawork bearing
on it* title page the name of llie very
able commissioner of agriculture, is
with reference to Georgia, the com
plement of the Texas publication. In
other wordt, if the Texas commis
sioner had a general introduction
such as the Georgia Pamphlet con
stitutes, or if the Georgia commis
sioner had a supplement such as the
Texes boek, the result would be the
most, perfect issue yet made by any
state, This is not saying half enough
for the Georgia official. It requires
four times as much brain to write a
general introduction worth preserva
tion aa it does to write up detailed
atatistics ofcounliea; and the Geor
gian's work ie so excellent that we can
conscientiously recommend it for use
at a standard text book in the public
schools. It ie the first work of the
kind of which we could say much.
It is written belli lucidly and alao
with discretion. The utmost censure
we can bestew on it does not strike
at half a page.” Our contemporary
earnestly advocates the policy of
writing and distributing pamphlet*
descriptive of the resources of the
southern slates. It claims thai they
will do more to attract the right sort
of immigrants anything else. Min
nesota and other stale* have advertis
ed themselves lu this way with the
most beneficial results.

ALLEGED ORUKLTY.
A special dispatch Train Fayetteville,
W. Va., say*: Among the oldest
families in Wyarning county ia one
which hae hitherto bean considered
eminently respectable, but a ‘Tegular
war” is now said to be raging over
tha misdeeds of one of them, who i* a
rich farmer. A year ago he tent Ills
mother, who waa helpless, to the poor
house, hut the authorities, knowing
that Iter son was able to give iter
better arct mmodations than she could
get at Iho infirmary, compelled him
to take her home. He then built her
a pen jit his yard and gave her the
same care as he gave his horses.
Dining (he extreme oold weather of
tho wittier sha antlered much aud her
limbs wore frozen. Oue night in the
cold weal her "The crawled from her
cold pen to her sen’s door and begged
admission, which was refitted, ac
cording to the •torflolil by one of the
grandchildren. The next morning
sho was found in the yard frozen to
death. As Soon as the neighbors
learned those facts they organized to
lynch the matt and tar and feather
his wife. He barricaded his house
and resisted. In the tight he wound
ed on* of his assailants. A messeng
er left the place on the night of the
first fight for Ihi* place, and saya that
there is no doubt that by thia time
the man has been lynched.
The extraordinary popularity of
Ayers Cherry Pectoral is the nat
ural result’ of it* use by intelligent
people for forty year*. It has in
disputably proved itself tho very
best known specific for ail colds,
coughs, and pulmonary complaints.
THE EXPOSITION
The nnvarying*talemei:l of every
late visitor to the World's Exposition
at New Orleans Ie that it is the great
est nd grandeslexposiliouever held.
In magnitude it is simple Immense;!
while in variety of exhibits and com
prehension of subjects it has never
been rivalled. The earlier reports,
its incomplete (ml un
finished condi'ion, and influenced by
the execrable weather which pre
vailed for some six weeks aftir the
opening, did the Exposition great
injury, and will tic a source of regret
to many people wlufin they deterred
from viritiug it ami who may not
now have the opportunity. Not
withstanding the difficulties and dis
appointments of the opening anil
the first weeks of the Exposition, and
the serious financial onbarrassmenu
which ensued, the work of complet
ing and perfecting iu every depart
ment has eteadly progressed until now
the Exposition le pronounced com
plete in every detail, exceeding in
magnitude, scope and interest any
exposition ever held. 'j
Whtii it is recalled that the diffcl?
rnt Exposition buildings cover ninety
acres of apace, end that all of Ihiu
space ie utilized by exhibits, anil
lho*e of the richest, rarest and most
jierfect of their kind, our readers can
form some (idea of the attrctlon and
interest of the World’s Exposition.
It will probably be the only industrial
enterprise of this kind that the pres-
ent generation will hive an upportu
nity o' visiting. The financial em
barrassments attending the creation
of lhU(uow happily relieved by Con
gress), and the improbability of any
future assistance by Congress to any
similar enterprise, will undomitodiy
discourage any effort in this ago to
establish another. Hence, the opjnr
unity of visiting this ought not tube
passed.
The United Btetos Commissioners
for the different States in conjunction
with the management have desig
nated different days to be kept ami
celebrated as the special Slate days
of llie various States. Covering
these dates the railroad companies
have agreed to make a specialty tow
excursion rate, lower than any here
tofore given. This is done for the
purpose of encouraging the fulleet
possible attendance.
Tlie rates of sccommodation ami
entertainment lu Now Orleansjare
saifl now to bo-a* low and aa read
able as at any prioy season and it
1h any city 6! fit size In the couihtw.
The weather Is now perfectly char
ming and every visitor returning
from there expresses the utmost grat
ification and delight at hie experien
ces. Our readers should c*6ider
well before they permit this opportun
ity to pass away.
THE KUBB TO WABHXEGTOM CITT.
The records of the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad show that during
inauguration week tho road moved
into Washington 401 trains, avera
ging 14 cart o the train and 41 per
sons to the ear from point* north,
east and west.
During the same period there ar
rived 184 trains from the aonth,
averaging seven cars to the train and
52 passengers tothe car. Four hun
dred aud twenty-two Pullman cars
were handled at Washington by this
road during inauguration week.
Superintendent Baker saya that thia
ia thirteen more cars than the whole
number of roads centering at Cnicago
ran into the city during the deme
eratlc and tepublicau conventions.
Thk smai.l nzi-REAsr. ot the public
debt during February, which was
only a trifle more than three million;
shows that in tfae present condition
the surplus revenue is not going to
be a very perplexing affair. While
the iotai decrease for the past seven
monhta of the present fiscal year ex
ceeds forty-four millions, the most of
the decrease occurred during the first
three months. If tue present Con
gress could have had a little more
timo it would have takeu good earft
that there should lie no surplus, and
it wouldu’t hive reduced tsxttien,
either. Perhaps the now Congress
will have time to catch it* breath
and find out what the country de
mands before it goes into the busi
ness of voting away the surplus.
Waste no time; delays have dan
gerous ends! If a member of vour
family is suffering with a slight
cough or cold, don’t wait until it
develops itself iuto consumption,
but procure at once a bottle of Dr.
Bull’s Cough Syrup and euro that
cough.

AYER’S PILLS.
A Urge proportion of the diseases which
cause human sailering result from derange
ment of the stomach, hovels, and liver.
A yes’s Cathartic Pills act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
care the diseases caused by their derange
ment, including Constipation, Indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other ailments, for all of
which they are a safe, sore, prompt, and
pleasant temedy. llie extensive use of these
PILLt by eminent physicians in regular prac
tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profes
sion.
These Pills are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or auy other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Beafadis writes:
*'Aveb’s Pills are invaluable tome, and
are my constant companion. I have been
a severe sufferer from Headache, and your
Pills are the only thing 1 could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my bead from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
I have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to
•peak in their praise, and i always do so
when occasion offers.

The Slav, fbakcis B. Harlow*, writing
from Atlanta. Ga., says: “For some years
past 1 have been subject to constipation,
from which, in spite of the ase of medi
cines of various kinds, X suffered Increasing
Inconvenience, until some mouth* sgo 7
began taking Aybb's Pills. They have
entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health.’*
