Persons leaving the city for the summer can have the Moving News forwarded by the earliest fast to any address at the rate of 25c. a weajt, $1 for a month or t~ 50 for three month*, cash invariably in ad ranee. The address may be changed as often as desired. In directing a change care should lie taken to mention the old as well as the new addreks. Those who desire to have their home paper promptly delivered to them while away should leave their subscriptions at the Busi ness Office. Special attention will be given to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the most direct and quickest routes. The great need of this country is a sum mer resort without mosquitoes. It is expected that the fall will see many Dew booms developed. It is to lie hoped that their bottoms will be well riveted on. Texas wants a base ball league. The um pire who would face the crowd in a base ball grand stand in Texas would lie brave indeed. It seems that there is a superfluity of “'Squires” in the North. Why shouldn’t some of them be exchanged for Southern colonels f The North is reveling in Georgia water melons, and doubtless hopes that a war be tween the sections will never again cut off the supply. The New York Star's Grant monument fund now amounts to a little more than $5,500. The total amount wanted —$135,000 —isn’t even in sight. The statement is made that the memhers of the General Assembly are “unusually handsome.” They should not forget that ‘‘handsome is as handsome does.” The peculiar and grateful calm of the proe sent Sabbath is doubtless due to tho col lapse of the Salvation Army. Vale, bass drum, vale; may you never return ! Senator Allison, of lowa, refuses to talk politics because the weather is so hot. Wise Senator Allison! How happy the country would be if other politicians would imitate his example. The attempt of the General Assembly to protect the Western and Atlantic railroad from conifietition comes rather late. It has already been considerably injured by a competing line. Even England has heard the news at suit Mrs. Cleveland’s sore eye. The “Lady of the White House” receives almost as much attention from newspaper correspondents as her husband doe*. Mr. Blaine has not yet gone to Ireland. Perhaps he hasn’t sufficiently rehearsed what he intends to say when he gets there. No man understands better than he how dan gerous mistakes are. Mr. Gladstone in this country as the po litical agent for the Maine statesman would cause many to call to mind a famous quo tation which suggests that even the greatest may be put to base uses. The meanest trick of the imagination is that which leads a demagogue to think him self truly great. When he awakes in the undiscovered country his disappointment will keep him miserable throughout eternity. Yachting is attracting more interest in this country than ever before. If it leads to a revival of American shipping interests the country will lie the gainer. If it does not, the remembrance of the fun enjoyed will be but poor satisfaction. The crop news from all parts of the coun try continues to be encouraging. There will be plenty next fall, and if the blood thirsty Fairchilds and Tuttles of the Grand Army of the Republic can be induced to emigrate, there will also be peace. Senator Sherman is determined that the people shall know how lie looks. The Ho mer Lee Bank Note Company, of New York, has engraved a large number of iiortraits of him, which he intends to distribute throughout tho country. About the latter part of next year people will look at the portraits and remark, “(Sherman) Senator Shermanf Oh, yes! Ho is the man that tried to be President and failed.” There is a failure in the method of legis lation adopted by most of tho States. The pesple never see the laws until after they arc passed. A Aviso man once said that no law should be made binding until it had been thoroughly discussed by the people. To permit such discussion, the laws intro duced in legislative assemblies should be publisher! by the public journals. Such a course would give legislators the opjiortu nity to know tlie public's will, and would prevent much bad legislation. The Wingard Case. The verdict ill the Wingard case does not give general satisfaction. The sentiment appears to lie that the defendant should have Iteen found guilty of murder. There was nr, question about the main farts of the ease. It was admitted t hat young Win gard assassinated his step-fttrher. He ap proached him stealthily, while he was asleep on his bed, and shot him to death. The jury no doubt acted conscientiously. They aimed to discharge their duty faith fully, but could not, apparently, rid their minds of the influence of the horrible story told by the defendant’s mother. It is prob able also that the defendant’s extreme youth appealed to them strongly. Whether the story told by the boy’s mother is true or not is a matter of no im portance now. The Solicitor General held that it was not true, and it certainly ought not to have influenced tho jury, assuming that it did, even if it were true. If the boy hail killed his stepfather while the latter was in the act of cruelly treating his mother there would have lieen some excuse for his crime. He would have acted under the in fluence of an uncontrollable jiassion, and there wouid have been a strong sentiment of sympathy for him. Tbs facts show, how ever, that he committed the crime deliber ately and coolly, anil when his victim was helpless and unconscious of danger. It is perhaps but justice to tho jury to say that sympathy has saved the necks of murderers before now from the hangman’s rope, and doubtless it will save the necks of others. The importance of the verdict in the Wingard case is its influence upon this com munity. The impression has long pre vailed, and still prevails, that it is atiout impossible to legally hang a white man in this county. When it is remembered that the slayer of Dawson escaped the gallows, and that other white murderers who richly deserve death at the hands of the law did not suffer the penalty provided for their crimes, there appears to lmi good reasons for the impression. When it was announced that Thomas Cas sidy had been arrested as tho murderer of George Smith at Tybee, many people, I Kith black and white, expressed the opinion that he would not be hung if guilty, because he was a white man. Is it not about time to remove this im pression from this community? As long as it remains wo may ex|iect that crimes of violence will be of frequent occurrence. There are plenty of boys and men who will not hesitate to use deadly weapons on a slight provocation if they believe they can do so with a fair prospect of escaping pun ishment. But where does the fault lie for the im pression that it is impossible to legally hang a white man in this county? Clearly with the people. There is no fault to lie found w ith the court and none with the prosecute ing officer. But the jurors, do they always do their duty? It must lie admitted that they are doing better lately owing to a growing public sentiment in favor of swift and certain punishment of crime, but there is still room for improvement. When men go into the jury box they should do so with a determination to stand squarely by the law and the facts, and to refuse to be in fluenced by sympathy or appeals for mercy. When they do this, and when a majority of those most deeply interested in the welfare of the community do not seize upon every pretext to shirk jury duty, a white mur derer will stand no lietter chance of escap ing the gallmvs than a black one. Krupp, the Gun Maker. In the death of Frederick Krupp, men tioned in our dispatches a day or two ago, Germany lost one of her greatest citizens. His reputation as the manufacturer of gigantic steel guns was world-wide. His manufactory at Essen lias no equal. It covers alxmt one thousand acres, and in cludes a great variety of shops. In these shops and the mines from which the raw r material is obtained some 20,000 people are employed. It is roughly estimated that be tween 00,000 and 70,000 people are dependent upon this immense establishment for their daily bread. Frederick Krupp spent almost his entire life in building up his great factory. He wns only 14 years of ago when he was initiated into his father’s business which, at that time, was comparatively insignificant, consisting of only- a few forges. After the death of his father he and his mother man aged the business until 1848, when he took entire possession of it. At that time he was 36 years of age. Ho had already, however, showed that he was a very gifted man, and that he was well fitted to manage great enterprises. His discovery of a method of casting steel in very large masses brought him fame and fortune. It is said that for years Wore his death he had been able to cast in one mass steel weighing its much as 6)0,000 pounds. He first began to manufacture steel guns in 1846. They were small affairs, but were su perior to any guns then in existence. He rapidly increased their size and soon sup plied all the nations of Europe with gigantic guns. It was with guns of his make that the Germans did such execution when they invested Paris. One of his immense guns was shown at the Philadelphia Centennial and attracted great attention. Atmut 15,000 of the employes of the Krupp factory live at Essen, in cottages built by Herr Krupp and owned by him. They are models of their kind, and are supplied with every sanitary arrangement for the preser vation of health. In this model community of workmen there are free hospitals, free baths, free libraries and other tilings calcu lated to produce contentment and promote happiness. Of course other things besides guns are made in the Krupp factory. A large variety of useful articles are produced there, all of which are of the best character, and, therefore. And a ready market. A few days ago some of the ladies of Rome, Ga., held a meeting and petitioned the City Council to adopt ail ordinance pro hibiting tho selling of cigarettes to minors. At the same meeting tho ladies determined to petition the General Assembly to prohibit the circulation of indecent pictures by tho manufacturers of cigarettes. Perhaps it would lie going too far to prohibit the sell ing of cigarettes to youths, but there is no doubt that the circulation of indecent pictures should lie prevented. Georgia, in common tyith other States, has been flooded with such pictures by the manufacturers of cigarettes. In New York the other day a woman weighing 340 pounds caused her husiiand to be arrested on a charge of violently assault ing her. When the trial occurred it devel oped that the husband was a little fellow whom the woman was in the habit of pick ing up and throwing out-of-doors. It was a case of incompatibility of size ns well as of temjier, and should lie a warning to little men to choose none but little women for wive*. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, eITJEY 17, 18H7. One Woman’s Work. A paragraph in the Morning News a few days ago concerning a young lady in Columbus who, having lost her father, is successfully conducting the business he left, attracted the attention of a gentleman re siding in Macon. He writes an interesting letter alxiut some successful businesswomen he knows, and calls special attention to one whom he says is known in all jiarts of the State. It seems that in a Middle Georgia county a number of years ago a struggling manu facturer died, leaving a widow and several children. The lady hail not been trained to business, and was totally unacquainted with tho peculiar occupation of her husband. She determined, however, to assume the management of the manufac tory and to operate it without seeking aid other than that of her legal adviser. She at once made herself familiar with the pe cuniary details of her business, and then took steps to improve the plant of the man ufactory. She chose her superintendents and employes with consummate skill, and soon the machinery was humming as cheer fully as when her husband was alive. She watched every point, spending money or economizing where necessary. She adver tised the products of her manufactory in every Southern State, and the result was soon apparent. Orders were received as rapidly as they could be filled. Her plan was to send out none but first class work, so that when she gained a customer she re tained him. She is now the possessor of quite a handsome fortune, to which her business permits her to make increasingly large additions. The Morning News’ correspondent says of this lady’s domestic life: “Her home is one of tho most delightful I ever visited. It is not extravagantly furnished, but I cannot imagine a place more thoroughly comfort able. There are several children. The oldest, a daughter, has been educated in the liest schools, and is a sweet ami sensible girl. The younger children are all in school. The sons are bright, and manifest decided inter est in their mother’s business. It is her intention that they shall take charge of the manufactory ns soon as they are prepared to do so. I never knew a better tempered woman. I asked her if worrying over business did not some times irritate her to the point of anger. She replied: ‘I do not worry over my business. It is a source of pleasure to me. I believe that there would be more happiness among women if more of them were as busy as 1 am.”’ The story [mints more than one moral. It shows that where there is a will there is a way, and that women are much more capable of managing business affairs than they are generally thought to be. Every year they are entering avenues for earning a living which were before practically closed to them. Every advance they make opens the way for a further advance. They don’t get the same |iay that men do for the same work, but tho time is not distant when they will. Treat All Alike. The Morning News published a day or two ago a bill which had been introduced into the Legislature to authorize the ap pointment of assessors for this county. In some respects the bill could be improved. The eoin]M‘iisatiiin provided for the assessors is too great, and there ought to be some lim itation to the time which they can devote to their work. Under the bill they can take as many days as they please to dis charge their duties, and in that way impose quite a heavy burden upon the county. It would also seem that as they are to be county assessors, and to be paid by the county, the County Commissioners rat her than the City Council should have the selecting of them. The main objection to the bill, however, is this: Chatham county should not lie more closely assessed than other counties of the State. The Morning News has persistently advocated a law for the whole State that would equalize assessments,’ and insure the assessment of all property subject to taxa tion, but the Morning News does not favor a law that will make Chatham county pay more than her fail’ share of tho taxes. Let us have a law that wall secure a fair and equal assessment for tho whole State. If the Legislature will pass such a law it will do something that will lie of more real benefit to the people than anything elso it can do. In some parts of the State the as sessment is low, and in others it is high. Some taxpayers make an honest return of their property and others do not. What is wanted is a law' that will place all taxpayers upon an equal footing. Is it not possible to get such a law passed? The New York Times prints an interest ing bit of news from Salt Lake City. It seems that there has been a remarkable in crease in the anti-Mormon vote which astonishes, if it does not alarm, the Mor mons. Tho first election since the new ration under the Edmunds-Tueker law, tieing an election for school trustees, occurred this week and the Gentiles carried five of the twenty- one districts. The result, was entirely un expected by the Mormons, who confidently looked for a continuance of the old order of things when they carried everything. The small Mormon vote is accounted for by the disfranchisement of women and the refusal of so many to take the oath promis ing not to violate the law in regard to bigamy and polygamy. The Gentiles are jubilant over the outcome of the school elec tions. and tho Mormons are correspondingly downcast. The latter fear that if this sort of thing continues the Gentiles will soon solve the problem of political supremacy without the aid of legislation. Buffalo Bill has written a letter to a friend in New Orleans, describing his suc cess in England. Ho says: “I have cap tured this country from the Queen down— am doing them to the tune of SIO,OOO a day. No man—not even Grant—was received better than your humble servant I have dined with every one of tho royalty, from Albort, Prince of Wales, down. I some times wonder if it is the same old Bill Cody, the bullwhacker.” Tho admirers of Buffalo Bill in this country will lie glad to know that “it is the same old Bill Cody, the bull whacker,” for he says: “I still wear the same sized hat, and when I make my pile I am coming back to visit all the old boys.” A drunken man injured the Prohibition candidate for Governor of Kentucky so severely that he w ns obliged to withdraw from the canvass. It is not improbable that the time will come in Kentucky when drunken men will tie placed where they cannot injure other men, whether the latter lie candidates for Governor or not. Homebody professes to have discovered that all the preminent men of the day were born in 1830. This is hard on certain prom inent men who have proudly claimed that thev are vounc. CURRENT COMMENT. Not So Verdant as He Looks. From the Few York World (Dem i When Senator Bill Chandler movesan investi gation of the Navy Department a gray and wise old rat may be expected to move an investiga tion as to the disposition of missing cheese. William is not so verdant as he sometimes looks. Senseless Twaddle. From the Montgomery Advertiser (Hem.) No more senseless twaddle was ever indulged than to sav because a drink can he obtained in a prohibition city, prohibition is a failure. As well say because Canada is full of American hank cashiers, the law against embezzlement is a failure. Harvey’s Mistake. From the. Galveston News litem.) The Treasury clerk who robbed the govern ment of $11,200 by forgery in connection with horse claims turns out to lie a Republican, al though he was appointed by the present admin istration. His mistake was in failing to get in while his party was iu power. His business would not have been interfered with then. A Small Subject. From the Boston Herald (Ind.) Gen. Tuttle says; "The South hates the North.” It may lie that Tuttle does not con sciously lie in this statement to the extent that appears on the surface. Tuttle may regard himself as the embodiment of the North. He is just ass and egotist enough to do it. Very likely the South does hate Tuttle The only doubt upon the point is as to whether Tuttle is of suf ficient importance to be hated. We believe there is Scripture authority for the statement t hat men do well to be angry at times. There is certainly good ground to rage against meanness. BRIGHT BITS.

She (thoughtfully)—George, dear, are there not times in your life when the pathos and truth of that most ticautiful of all songs, "Home, sweet home, there is no place like home," ap pear to you with startling vividness, and fill your soul with longing?

The editor of the Carson Txiriat remarks in a striking editorial paragraph: "If Tod Bunker don’t keep his sow and shoats from under our office he is going to lose some pork."

Every brook has a sign warning people off. Wliat do you mean by luring anglers here with the prom ise of fine fishing? Hotel Man I didn't say anything about fine fishing. If you read my advertisement care fully you will see that what I said was: “Fishing unapproachable.”— Burlington Free Press. “The people of New York are not very socia ble, are they?" said a Western man addressing an acquaintance who lived in the East. “Well, I don't know but they are, although they may be a little peculiar in that respect. For several years I had my office in a very large building on Broadway. One day a fellow came in and asked if my name was J. W. McFiddleton. 1 told him it was, and then, after a few moments' silence, he said: ‘My office is just across the hall, aud ever since I saw- your sign several years ago, I have been intending to drop in and see you. I am your brother, you know, and well, how are you getting along, anyway?’ Yes," continued the Eastern man, “they are a trifle peculiar, hut after you get in with them you find them very sociable.”— Arkantaw Trav eler.

THE PRESIDENT’S BOYHOOD. The Schools in Which His Early Years Were Passed. Washington letter to the Albany Journal. The centennial of the founding of the village of Clinton and the local jubilee in commemora tion of that event afford a suitable occasion for the President not only to mingle with that his toric community, but to visit the scene of his years of boyhood and partly of his youth. Richard Cleveland settled at Fayetteville, in the neighboring county of Onondaga, in pastoral charge of the little flock of Presbyterians at that place in lstO. His son Grover was a child of 3 years. Here the next eleven years of his boy hood were passed, dividing his time between the primary walks of knowledge and Saturdays fishing in the creeks of Onondaga and Madison counties. At 8 years the district school of Fayetteville welcomed him thus far on his jour ney along the toilsome highway of learning. Next the Fayetteville academy received him, but his father, having been called to the post of agent of the American Home Mission at Clinton, the seat of Hamilton College, an insti tution under Presbyterian auspices, the son con tinued his schooling in the Clinton Academy. Two years later the family made another move to Holland Patent, where the father died the same year. The mother, left in the usual indi gence of the family of a spiritual shepherd of a rural fold, realized the kind ofllces of the good people of Fayetteville, Clinton, and Holland Patent by the substantial gift of a comfortable home. There she passed the remainder of her days training her children in the precepts and nrinei plesof useful lives and kept the family fireside aglow with the memories and inspirations of the past and the hopes and encouragements of the future. The greatest length of years in the President's young life was passed at Fayetteville, but at Clinton he worked hardest in his studies, and from Holland Potent, after several years in various preliminary occupations, he started out into the world with no other immediate ambi tion than to earn enough money to provide for himself and have to snare to aid in providing for the comfort of his mother. Without a Nation. From the New York Tribune. Tn “de Souf," especially in the country re gions where anti war notions still to a large ex tent prevail, there is much jealousy and ill finding between the full-blooded negroes and the half-breed negroes -between the “bluck niggers" and the "yailer niggers"—as the white corner grocery loungers of those parts call them. ( 'uriously enough, the black negroes profess to consider themselves greatly superior to the nmlattoes, notwithstanding the latter's ad mixture of white blood. Thev declare that when that gathering together of the nations of the earth spoken of in the Bible takes place, there will be no place for the nmlattoes and negroes of mixed mood, because being neither white nor black these “ain’t got no nashun," and consequently can’t be gathered in. Tins notion lias some hold even "up North," as was shown by a scene l>eheld the other day by a reporter in Bleecker street. There occurred a "fracas ' between a mulatto woman and a negro woman whose skin was of Egyptian dark ness. As is the case with most such quarrels, t he origin of the dispute was of a trifling nature. Rut the combat was none the less tierce for that while it lasted. They fought with nature's weapons, and the woman of pure African blood was worsted. Rut she still had a Parthian arrow left. "I'se done whup yer," said the mulatto, tri umphantly. " Well, ef yer has whup me, I'se gwain to ax yer somefin. an’ ef yer answers dat yer kin whup me agin." "G'lang, yer can't ax me nuffln dat I can't answer." ‘‘Jes you wait, valler niggah, don’t be so brash. Don't yer know dat de Bible say dat de nashuns ob de earf’s gwine to be gathered togeder in de last day ?" "In course I does." "Well, den, jes tell me wer you's gwine to be den when Gabriel blows his trumpet ? Yer ain't black an' yer ain’t white, an' yer ain't got no nashun nohow, has yer ? The mulatto woman was at a loss for an an swer, and the black woman took advantage of the opportunity to l>eat a triumphant retreat, occasionally yelling back at her antagonist, "Gwon, yer ole yailer niggah, yer ain't got no nashun, nohow, yer ain't." In the Hammock. In the hammock idly swinging ’Neath the cool, umbrageous trees; Flitting wild birds round me singing, Fanned by every passing breeze, T would lie and dream away This long, golden summer day. O'er the bay proud ships are sailing, Drifting out toward the sea, Where the fierce, wild waves are wailing, And the billows bounding free! Swelling onward, evermore, To a distant, foreign shore! But as T go swinging, swinging Thro' the perfumed ladend air, And the songs of birds are singing— Breezes blowing thro’ my hair— I care not for swelling waves Nor for shores that ocean laves. Hen? I read, and dream, and tarry Till the golden sun sinks low; And the twilight, like a fairy, Flits where tangled daisies grow, Lighting up with pink and gold Placid bay and mountains bold. Faint the distant church bell ringeth, And its echo dies away Where the robin-red breast singeth His sweet song at close of day! Still I linger till the light Tales and vanishes in night! E'en till heaven's lamps are lighted. And the fickle, round-faced moon Hath its beams with stars united In the gloom of twilight's swoon, I would thus swing to an fro. In the evening's heaven-lit glow 7! Evelyn Kimball Johnson. Jeanne Hugo Then and Now. Paris Letter to the London Truth. Mile. Jeanne Hugo was a picture. I saw her a child before meeting her at Lord Lyons’ gul den party. She was standing at the head of her grandfather's dinner table, and beside his chair, with her arm around his neck, ingenuous sim plicity itself, and without a trace of care on her young face. The old man, who was then stone deaf, was tired, and dealt in monologues, which he delivered out of politeness to some guests who met him jor the fir. t time, and expected to hear him talk. When he felt the child's hand steal round his neck, he turned his head toward her. and looking up, said, with a tenderness of tone that went to the heart: "Mon ange rheri."

The soft, full, kindly gray eyes are her mother's. It is impossible to conceive anything prettier than her manner when she recognized an old friend.
