paid the following beautiful and well
deserved tribute to young King Hum

Tun latest nows from Europe is
that England und Russia are gather
ing their foroea as rapidly a possible.
It now seems that war between these
two great power* is inevitable. Sir
Peter Lunasden, agent of the English
government in Afghanistan, and Gen.
Komarofl', tho Russian gcuoral who
lately fought the Afghans, have each
reported the buttle to their respective
governments, and tbo statements are
hi Hindi great variance that it Ib im
possible to reconcile them. This has
greatly iocteased the oorntilicallons
that already existed between those
two government's. Mr. Gladstone
has asked parliament for a war ap
propriation of $55,000,000. The mat
ter is to bo debated in tho House of
Commons next Monday, and it is the
general belief in England that tho
House will pass the credit. Even
the political opponents of Mr, Glad
stone favor the measure in behalf of
the honor of England. Te tho sur

SEW TUOnIU-W FOR ENGLAND.
In tho House of Commons Lord
Randolph Qhurcbii) (Conservative)
asked Premier Gladstone how far
England was complicated and how
far responsible in the suppression of
the Frenolt newspapers iiosphorc
Hgvplion at Cairo. Premier Glad
stone replied that Egypt had not acted
alone in the matter of seizing and
suppressing the paper, and admitted
that England was not in a position to
disclaim all respond oillty for the act.
The Premier's replies concerning
theßosphore Egypt lon incidents wero
very guarded, and -fenrs are enter
tained that the allair is likely to lead
to dililculty between Franco and
England.

The Standard, In an editorial says
it hopes that F.ngland will support
the Khedive in his controversy with
Franco concerning the suppression
of the Hosphoro Kgyptien. If England
Allows accession to Franco’s demand
for tho withdrawal of the docrec of
suppression and punishment of the
officials who executed tho decree, the
Standard thinks it will make a se
rious mistake. The Bosphore Egyp
tian was justly suppressed, says, the
Standard, and if it he allowed to re
sume its audicious career, Eugland
will confess more flagrantly than
ever that in Egypt she has undertak

to execute nor the courage to relin

DEFAMING EX-GOVERNOR JEN
KINS.
An Unfounded Bill Slsmlased by Judffe
Speer.
■’)
An interesting argument wa* had
in tlio United States circuit court in
Savannah, last monday morning, be
fore Hon. Emory Speer judge. It
was one brought by Mr*. Elizabeth
T. Belt, formerly of Bullock county,
now of New York, against Colonel
C. C. Jones and Major J. B. Cum
mitig of Augusta, executors of the
estate of cx-Governor Chas. J. Jenk
ins. Tho bill is brought by the
plaintiff who alleged among other
tilings that cx-Governor Jenkins in
1862 canto into possession ot SIOO,OOO
confederate money worth 'it that
limesso,ooo and that with exception
0f520,000, which were paid on a
mortgage for her husband's estate she
had not received o.te cent. Site
therefore brought suit agaiut the ex
ecutors of the estate of the deceased
governor for the recovery of $77,0000r
what it wa* In 1862. The pleading.oc
cupied all the morning and at 2 o’clock
In the afternoon the court dismissed
the bill on the ground that the stat
ute of limitations barred it. In
giving his declaim. Judge Speer said
that the defamatory charges aud lan
guage in the bill were not sustained
and that the reputation of ox-Govorn
or Jenkins was as fully aud as com
pletely exonerated as it was possible
for It tobc. He then dismissed the
bill.
Major Cummings asked the court
to give his decree In writing so that
the matter might appear of record as
the words of judgement fell from
his lips.
The suit was brought by Mr. Fox
of New York, who was assisted by
Messrs. Gartrcll and LaUsett of At
lanta.
APPLYING THE LAW.

still prominent merchants and
manufacturers. The remainder arc
abotncqually divided between young

Another startling fealttro of tho

LOOOKOUT FOR STORKS.
The Now Yorkilerald is no alarmist
but it’calls attention to the fact that the
tornado breeding elements are com

gions generally visited by them.
Various theories of the birth of the
tornado have been advanced. Mr. Si
las Bent, of St. Louis, holds that
when the c.olrt, heavy northerly wind
of tlie Mississippi Valley encounters
the warm, southerly current, the for

The latest reformer come to light is
a clerk in the Auditor’s office, named
Whallon. Mr. Whailon is another
patriot who is determined to make
himself solid with the Administration
and retain hits place. He will proba
bly succeed after the manner of O. P.
G. Clark's success. Whallon has tak
en entire charge of the office, reliev
ing Mr. Ferris, the Second Auditor,
from duty and responsibility. He
sits with his watch in hand ai:d
marks ofT the employers as they come
in. If a man is two minutes late,
down goca a small mark again* Mm.
If any person arishes to leave hts
office he makes application to Whal
lon, who will inquire into the necess
ity of the case and if he finds it advis
able he will grant a leave of five min
utes, and so enter on his book. If the
person on leave runs over the five
minute* he or she is so marked.
Whispering is strictly forbidden.
No person can leave itis scat without
permission. No gum-chewing is
allowed. Whallon strikes with a
hammer as a signal for work to begin
and any caught idle for an instant
until the day* work is over is
“marked.” Whallon bangs his ham
mer for the clerks to begin eating
luncheon, and when time is tip bangs
again for work, and every jaw must
cease at the bang and every pen be
picked up again. A piece of pie bit
ten off just before the bang is allowed
to be swallowed, if done hastily, but a
heavy penalty is attached to taking
another bile.
Tiieise Is one law suit In America al
most as old as the English possession
of t lie country, and it concerns no less
valuable property than a good slice
of the city of New York itself. This
is the claim concerning the farm of
Anueke Jans, the widow of one of
tho earliest Dutch settlers, who
departed the city of New Amsterdam,
and this life in 1687 or 1638,and whose
spouse afterwards married Domine
Bogsrdua. The farms were after
wards merged into the King’s farm,
owned by Trinity church,and the first
dispute between the corporation and
the heirs of Anneke Jan* took place
long before the itevoluilon.—From
Harper's for May.
Tk* Mmm And The Real.
Every good thing has its boat* of
imitators; every genuine articlf its
counterfeits. Bad manned" and
wicked habits have theirs also; but be
who shams the bad nevbr boasts of it,
while they who ape tho virtues ot the
good or emolato the genuine never
hesitute to place the counterfeit be
fore the public in their most alluring
tones. When these people imitate
they always choose a pronounced type
or popular subject to copy from : and
when thoy claim to be as good as“So
and So’” or to soil nn article equal to
“So-tud So,” Hie public may depend
upon it that Mr. “So-and So,” and
his article are always tho best ot the
kind. Thue the sham is always
proving the genuine merit ot the thing
it copies.
A firm of enterprising gentlemen
produce and popularize an article of
household use, such as the Royal Bak
ing Powder, whose eonvenleuce, use
fulness, nnd real merit make for It
self an Immense and universal sale.
A hundred imitators arise on every
hand, as they hold out their sham ar
ticles to the public, yelp in chorus,
,‘Buy this, it’s just as good as Itoyal,
and much cheaper!’' The Royal Bak
ing powder, is tho standard the
world over, and its imitstors in their
cry that (heir’s is “as good as Royal!”
are all tho time emphasizing this fact.
In their laborious attempts to show
by aualrsis and otherwise that the
“Snow-bail,” brand has as much
raising power “as the lioval,” or that
tho “Resurrection” powder is as
wholesome “as Royal”; or that tho
“Earthquake” brand is “as pure as
the Royal,” as well as their contort!**
twisting of chcmieal certificates and
tailored efforts to obtain recognition
from the Government chom’.st and
prominent scientists who have certi
fied the superiority of Royal over all
others, they admit the “Royal” to be
the acme of perfection, which is
their highest ambition to imitate.
But tho difference between the real
and these imitations, which copy
only its geuerai appearance, ia as
as that between the paste and the
true diamond. The shams all pay
homage to the “Royal!”

Warren Leland,
whom ererybody knows SB tho successful
mac age r of tbs
✓ Largest Hotel Enterprises
of Amsrica, uyi that white a paase&ger from
•> New York on board a ship going around Capa
Horn, in the early day* of emigration to Cal
ifornia, he learned that one of the officer* of
the vessel had eared himself, daring the voy
age, of an obstinate disease by the ase of
Ayers Sarsaparilla.
Since then Mr. Lblasd has recommended
Aran's Sarsaparilla in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ore to effect a radical care.
Some years ago one of Mr. Lblavd’s farm
laborers bruised hie leg. Owing to the bad
state of liis blood, an ogly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting paint through the lamp, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor
mously enlarged, and running ulcers forme*!,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of sny
avail until tho man, by Mr. Lblaxd's direc
tion, was supplied with Aria's Sarsapa
rilla, which allayed the pain and Irritation,
healed the scree, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
Mr. Lrlajtd has personally used
Ayers Sarsaparilla
for Rheumatism, with satire success
after careful observation, declares that. In
his belief, there te no medicine in the world
equal to It for the cure of Liver Disorders,
Clout, the effects of high firing. Salt
Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all the
various forme of blood diseases.
We have Mr. Lklard's permission to Invite
alt who may desire further evidence in regard
to the extraordinary curative powers of
Ayku's Sarsaparilla to see him person
ally either at bis mammoth Ocean Hotel,
Lor.g Branch,or at the popular Leland Hotel,
Broadway, 27th and 28th Btreets, Now York.
Mr, Lklakd’s extensive knowledge ot the
good done by this nnequalled eradicator of
blood poisons enables him to give inquirers
much valuable information.
