Gtor e T. Fry. of Atlanta, has been
arguing before the hoard of roads and
revenues of Fulton county, to prove that
all the foes paid to the solicitor general,
sheriff, sud clerk ol the superior court, of
Fulton county, for criminal o:tso. for the
last eight years, were illegal. Ihe city
court of Atlanta was established in 1874,
hy an act entitled “An act to establish a
city court for the city of Atlanta." An
amendment to it, passed next year, pro
scribed that the fees of the above officers,
for criminal eases, should he paid out o(
lines and forfeitures in the city court, the
deficiency, if any, to he made up from the
county treasury. lie contends that this
section of the amendment, treating ol
things not mentioned in the title of the
original 1011, is unconstilutioi ul, and
offers to sue these officers, retaining hall
.of what ho may recover, and faring the
other half into the treasury of the city
, court.

The removal of Richard 11. ('lark,

The first business before the house last
week was the consideration of reports

on a Consolidated bill prohibiting the

constitutional, since it refers only to one

unconstitutional, because it referred to
different places The bill was referred to
the general judiciary committee.

NORTHERN WATERING PLACES.
A loong Branoh correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-Journal thinks that
aping English customs is fast destroying
the usefulness of our youn r men and the
modesty of our women. Read what lie
says on the latter subject:
"The Fourth of July wasa splendid day
hero, and there were 900 guests at the
West End Hotel. The bathing was
delightful and hundreds went in iho
water the tomperature being 71. The
sun shone hot upon the sandy beach, and
the summer-houses and platforms were
covered with spectators. There issued
from a hath house a female t husly attired:
Black silk stockings reaching to her
thighs, and a tight-fitting red bodice
without sleeves, and a very short tunic of
red belted with black and a black border
around the tunic. Her arms were bare
to the shoulder and her head was bare.
She had two male attendants, who were
hare-armed, hare breasted and bare
legged.
With a swagger tlie female walked
through the hot sand, and, after allowing
the spectators to view her standing for
twenty minutes, she sat down on the
sand, and the men did the same. For
full half an hour they sat browning them
selves in the sun and warming up for the
hath. The tide was out and the water
shallow for a great distance; the three
figures Walked on, and on, until they
reached the lorge broakeis. and then she
vault nl through the surf like a circus
rider going through the paper balloons.
The trio performed many circus feats for
the Btnu-ement of the luige audience.
Then they cams out and sat on the sands;
one of the men stretched himself out,
and the female proceeded to bury him;
she soon had him c vered from neck to
toes, and then stood over bint kicking
the sand in a higher heap;-lie would run
in and out of the water and cut all sorts
of antics on tliu sand. Two hours were
devoted to this sport and I left.
Who or what she is I don’t know, hut
she did her part toward affording a 4th
of July free performance to a large and
severely critical audience.
Two young girls chased each other out
ol tho water and in oonsp’ooooa bathing
suits wrestled on the teach, until one
Ml ceeded in ti,rowing down the other,
then she laid lull length on h ir, and tried
to foice sand in her mouth.
The under girl strugiled and shrieked,
but the one on top held her down tin'il
she filled her mouth with sand. This
gave desperate strength to the under one
and she succeeded ill getting her
opponent down and serving her with the
same repast, then released her and both
ran into the water. These girls only
thought of having a bit ol fun, hut before
tlii- era, w.iulq modest girls romp ir.such
attire before such a promiscuous crowd?
Another girl came out of the water and
threw herself, face downward, on the
-and and kioko I up her heels in the air.
Formerly young ladier protected their
complexions from tan and son-burn; now
the tomboys ami hoy dins try to brown
their arms, hands and laces. After two
hours in the water, and or, the hot sands,
they arc as red as their dresses, their
parasols and their ribbons."

OLD IIACIIKLORS.
I ,ilso omitted to mention anolter
prominent feature in Steubenville. This
is social and is easily remediable., but it
stays just the same all the year around.
I refer to old I aehelurs. The town is
full of them, and 1 nevet saw a town in
which there were girls better adapted
in every way to destiny bachelorhood
They are sensible, practical, economical,
smart, good-looking and well fixed, and
yet the bachelor thrives. They are great
beaux, too, and the wav they made eyes
*t me and even tried to squei ze my hand
‘ for old acqnai tunoe’ sake," they-aid,
was something blood-curding. I don’t
like bachelors. They are one of tlie few
things the great Creator never (made a
place for, and their lives, usually, are as
aimless as a gun without a sight.
“What are you growling about?" said
Dieke "You are an old maid.”
"I know it," said 1, "and I'm proud
of it. But old maids are useful. 'They
cun help the world along in various ways
and some of the sweetest, quietest
characters [ have over known arc ut -
married women "whose lives have been
one long sacrifice to tho happiness ol
others.”
"Don't baohebirs ever do that way?"
said she.
"Once in one hundred thousand tuues,"
said 1, "and the rest of ’em live only to
have what they call ‘a good time.'
“Don’t they have it?' ’ said she.
They don’t look like it,” said I, "when
they happen to get eauglu in a place
where a woman’s ministration would be
worth everything to them.'
Speaking of bachelors, l should
mention that l made my little side trip
to Wellsburg and Brilliant with only tour
of them, and their combined ages run
up pretty nearly in the neighborhood ot
200 years. They were all prime fellows,
too; just the very kind to oak, a young
woman think matrimony synonymous
with heaven.
“Don’t they always think that?" said
Dickey.
“There you go again," said I "Ol I
course they think it, but the thought i
doesn’t always pan out, as it were, and \
while the synonym stilt begins with ait II
the other letters don’t make the w r, 1 out

A year ago Henry Smith was
arrested in Macon for drunkenness,
but was released on condition of
leaving the city. lie and his wife
walked to Monroe county and hired
to a farmer at 50 cents a day. Bis
health failed, and only the wife’s wages
were between them and starvation.
They concluded to return to Macon,
where the wife, by working in a factory,
could earn enough to support them
till he should recover. Weary and
footsore, they reached the suburbs,
when he give out. Hunting a com
fortable place for him, the wife went
on to arrange for work; but when she
returned he was gone. She hunted
for him till she was tired out,,and then
begged a night's lodging. After a
considerable search next morning, she
found him in the police station, charged
with being drunk and lying on the
streets. Though she had eaten
nothing for 24 hours, her chief trouble
was that he was hungry; and when
told that the city fed the prisoners,
she was happy. The police con
tributed a little to feed her till she
could obtain work. Her devoted lore
ought, to make him give up drink,and
they might y ct prosper and be happy.

thus forms an air tis;bt junction with the body

/ sold one o.* your Patent Dust-Pro f t'iises
about tn months ago, anti the other day it came
buck tome with the request to make It vriud
easier. On examination 1 found that the stem
was rusty, and I inquired into the cause of it.
The jfeutieman seated to me that he was starting
some saw logs that bad lodged in the bend of
the river, when his chain caught in a bush and
threw his watch into about twelve feet Of water,
and he was about twe hours finding it. When
he got it out it was running and he thought all
right. In about thiee months he found that the
stem was hard to turn, wud sent it to me. I can
sny that the watch is all that the company
claims for it, and recommend it to all railroad
and mill men. B. W. BENTLY.
