Your correspondent has recently made a flying excursion over the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia and the Western and Atlantic railroads, pausing briefly at a few points of interest by the way. The former cf these great highways has at length been placed in first-class condition, and under its present ownership and direction is doing a niugnificent freight and passenger business. This is due in no littlo degree to the astute policy of Vico President Henry Fink and the assistance of his able lieutenant, the irrepressible and popular B. W. Wrenn. AH the lower end of the line, which was so long neglected, is now laid with heavy steel rails, and the connections and time table are uniformly regular and satisfacto rily maintained. This road has done much to develop the latent resources of a large portion of the State, previously known only by the sneering appellation, “Pine Barrens of Georgia.” Now these lands, through the co operation of the 8. F. and W., are fur nishing millions of dollars’ worth of naval stores and lumber to the world, and denuded of the forest growth are easily cleared off and yield readily to the plowshare. AVheuever sufficiently elevated the soil, with the aid of a moderate amount of artificial stimulants.yields generously and is easily cultivated. In fact, the region be tween Cochran and Jesup may be called the ‘ ‘emigrant’s paradise. ” Here at. trifling cost he can purchase a farm, stock it with a few sheep and cattle, erect his cabin, and in a wonderfully short time, if diligent and thrifty, find himself surrounded with all * thp comforts and many of the luxuries of life. This is no overdrawn statement, but literally the truth. From Macon to Rome also, flour ishing towns are springing up all along the route, and the taxable values of that sec tion have increased fully' three-fold. Be sides all this, the healthy competition in freights, necessarily inaugurated, has con duced largely to the benefit of the people. That other grand artery of commerce above alluded to, THE WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD, from a careful inspection, is undoubtedly the equal in its construction, equipment and management of any in the Union. Despite the active opposition of rival and flanking lines, that $35,000 is paid into the State treasury every month without one day’s de lay, and the roadbed, track, bridges, etc., are kept in the very best repair. What a contrast to the period w hen the State essay ed to run the road herself, g Gov. Brown, the sagacious oracle, ever ready to advise when counsel is needed, Blill calmly occupies the Presidential chair. His son Joseph, too, a “chip of the old block,” albeit young in years, tills the im portant position he holds with so much ability that already he has carved out a national reputation in railroad circles. Su perintendent Anderson, also, upon whom the brunt of the labor and management de volves, has alway's shown himself abundant ly competent for the proper discharge of his manifold duties. In short, the road is ad mirably officered and managed in every de partment. GEORGIA WATERING PLACES. The writer, on his late trip, paid a passing call at several of our watering placets and health resorts, notably Indian Spring, the two Salt Springs near the Georgia Pa cific railroad, Marietta and Catoosa Springs. All save the last mentioned have already been noticed in your columns. It would be a kindness, however, to the seeker after health and recreation to state that at the Sweetwater Park Hotel, Salt Springs, Ga., he will not only find luxurious accommodations, but from the window’s of his own chamber may look forth upon some of the most beautiful scenery in the State. When the work of grading, sodding and ornamenting the ex tensive grounds has been completed, they will compare with anything to be seen in Saratoga. Marietta, too, is a delightful summer abode, and at the Whidlock House the visitor has nothing left to be asked for. CATOOSA SPRINGS having been purchased by’ a w’ealthy syndi cate is again open to the public under the management of D. B. Ragsdale, of Chatta nooga. The premises have been partially repaired, but will not bo in complete readi ness before next season. A limited number of guests, only about 100, are all that can he well provided for, Mr. Ragsdale says, at present. Another year 500 may’ come," how ever, and be entertained with ease. By that time it is contemplated to have a railroad te the station in operation, and all the cot tages covered anew and in comfortable con dition. The writer chanced to strike the Springs on the night when an excursion train came in from Chattanooga laden with guests, and a grand ball was on the programme. Tho scenes at the station during the packing of a long procession of hacks and wagons with the fair ladies and their beaux from our sister state, were most amusing. They were stowed away near a dozen to each vehicle with a capacity .for half that number, and such squeezing, and screaming, ami Joking, and chatting, wore never witnessed, i ouj- scribe was wedged in with a brace of charming young girls and enjoyed it huge ly. The ball was a brilliant affair, and the guests that night numbered over two hun dred. Of course many had to rough it, but everything was taken in good part, and all seemed to enjoy themselves. The grounds "JT Pettily illuminated with a multitude of Chinese lanterns, and all “went merry as a marriage boll - ’ until the gray of the early morn, Every rose has its thorn, however, ftnd the next day a party of elegantly at tired ladies and gentlemen in an open '' agon, on their return to meet tho train at the station, were overtaken in one of the heaviest BAIN STORMS that ever visited this section. One unbrella, "Inch in a low moments became useless, 'var, all the shelter to be had, and the party reached their destination without a dry thread on their persons, perfectly soaked and saturated. (Jharity makes us draw the Veil upon the forlorn and bedraggled appear anoo of the ladies and their ruined toilets. Doubtless nil the merry incidents of the ball were effectually drowned out of existence •>v the remorseless rain. Here we have an illustration of the bright and lugubrious tide of life. Atlanta is the gateway to a majority of the pleasure resorts of the Slate, and here the traveler will find thrown wide open the hos pitable portals of the magnificent Kimball House. This spacious establishment is bet ter kept, and managed tlm.ii ever before, and m reality lias no peer at the Smith. It will pay him to tarry there at least a few days whilst, he scans the lions of the capital, not forgetting to take in the tnqjestic propor tions of the new State House, now rapidly advancing to completion. thk growing crops. It is universally conceded that up to the present stage of the season, not for a long term of years has there lieen so grand a promise of bountiful harvests trom the crops °f corn and which crown the lulls mid ' alleys of t/eorgia. The rains have been abundant, but as yet not in excem, and the Heldshave lieen carefully cultivated and are exceptionally froe from weeds and grass. 'Vesaw large areas of com that will average mty bushels j>er acre, and the cotton weed 18 fruiting well, and entirely free from dis oua insects. The farmers all wear smiling faces, and we trust their most ardent expectations may be more than realized. POLITICAL. The Legislature is just getting down squarely to work, and while many talk of a long session, some of the most intelligent niembei’s assert that if matters not germane to the duties of the hour are ignored, and the body confines itself to legitimate legis lation, an adjournment may be effected in side of forty days. We shall see. THE VACANCY ON THE SUPREME BENCH. In a pleasant interview with Senator Col quitt, who has just returned from Wash ington, he said at the eapitul it was gener ally admitted that Secretary Lamar would lie invited to fill the vacancy’ in the Su preme Court. Mr. Cleveland will take his time about it, howevor, and the appoint ment would probably’ be withheld to a later period. W hen interrogated as to his own prospect of becoming Mr. Lamar's successor, the Senator emphatically replied that he had never been an applicant for the position, and on no occasion has the matter been ever broached in his several conversations with the President. True, his name hail been suggested by influential parties, in con nection with the Secretaryship of the In terior, in the event of the retirement of Mr. Lamar, but w’ithout his knowledge or con sent, and it was doubtful whether the place would be accepted even if it were tendered to H. H. J. BANKER HARPER’S CLERK. Miss Josie Holmes and Her Confiden tial Relation to the Fidelity Wrecker. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. Miss Josie Holmes tripped lightly down the great stone steps leading to the private entrance of the jail early yesterday after noon. Her request to see Mr. Harper was granted, and in a few moments the banker and his fair clerk were seated in Jailer Wil liams’ parlor conversing. Theirs must have been an interesting subject, for it was an hour later when she was seen ascending the jail steps. Miss Holmes is a tall, handsomely formed brunette, graceful and stylish. She is a lady who would attract attention among the prettiest, more for the regularity of her features and her symmetrical development, really, than for beauty of complexion, al though she is strikingly’ pretty. Large dark eyes flash forth glances that are as intelli gent as the eyes are attractive. She is re lated to some of the best families in this city, but being of an independent disposi tion has for years managed to look out for herself. For several years she acted as an amanuensis to Dr. N. B. Wolfe, and left the doctor's employ to accept a position in the Fidelity Bank under Mr. Har per. Miss Holmes resides with her mother in Avondale, in the resi dence formerly occupied by Mr. Andrew Silence. At the time the place was rented Mr. Harper himself called and examined it. Being satisfied with the choice, he paid eighteen mouths’ rent down. It is supposed, of course, that Miss Holmes afterwards made good this expenditure The house was taken with the privilege of purchasing. The sum then asked was sfi,soo, though it would require almost double that sum to get the residence now. It is a pretty place, sur rounded with a well-kept lawn and plenty of shrubbery. The residence is neatly and elegantly furnished, and the most complete taste is observable in all of the appoint ments. Miss Holmes has a younger brother, who is studying at the Nelson Business Col lege. From the Enquirer, July 12. A ivild rumor was afloat yesterday to the effect that Miss Josie Holmes, the young lady who formerly had charge of the ex change desk in the Fidelity Bank, had been arrested by the United States officers. There was nothing in the rumor. Yesterday morn •ing Miss Holmes met United State* District Attorney Burnet at his office in the govern ment building. The meeting was by an arrangement made on Wednesday. There have been ail sorts of reports con necting the name of Miss Holmes with that of Mr. Harper. The young woman’s reputation has suffered some through these reports. She has been quite ill for several weeks post, and while there may have been some basis for part of what has been said, the attack upon a defenseless wom an would appear cowardly, to say the least of it. Miss Holmes has been benefited to an extent by her acquaintance with Mr. Harper. She was given a good position in the Fidelity Bank, and, it is known, is quite well pasted in regard to Mr. Harper’s actions. The Enquirer a few days ago gave an account of her being called before Receiver-Armstrong at the bank. She had bee" suspected of making away with some money belonging to Harper and of placing it where it would do the most good for Harper. The authorities have been of the opinion that she is in a position to givo some important information, if she so desires. She is known to have drawn up some peculiar checks for the ex-financier, regarding which no other person in the hank knew anything, and the fact that her books at the bank are in deplorable condi tion has led to the opinion that she did much to cover up the crooked transactions. He was Well Posted on the Case. From the. New York World. “It seems to mo,” said ex-Judge Ditten hoefer the other day, “it was a mistake to let Mr. Sharp think he could be acquitted at all, though I believe his attorneys were very confident all along of their ability to get him free. In their place I think I should have told Mr. Sharp just what I told Sayles when he came to me for advice.” “To skip?” “No, iudeed. I made a thorough exami nation of the case, looked it over carefully on all sides and then told him flatly that hi* couldn’t be saved. The skipping part of it i had nothing to do with. But I wasn’t going to let him have any false ideas on the subject of his trial, anil it was my duty to tell him the exact truth. I would have de fended him, of course, if he had wanted it, but I could never have pulled him through in the world. As for Sharp, the case was sure to go against him unless he did like an other client of mine. ” “How was that?” “Well, I once had to defend a man named Meyer, who was sued for certain property claimed to have been illegally transferred by him. My clerk sent over one morning from the court room saying the case was on, and I went over to attend to it. The defend ant was nowhere in sight, and I asked for him. , , “ ‘There he is,’ said my clerk. “ ‘Where?” I asked. “The clerk pointed to the jury box, and there, sure enough, sat my client, ready to pass upon his own case. Newoombe was on the other side, and I thought I would have some fun with him. So I asked him to postpone. He wouldn’t do it. “ ‘Still,’ said I, ‘you won’t go ou with this case to-day.’ “ ‘I must,’ he replied, ‘and that’s all there is about it.’ “ ‘Hut you won’t,’ I went on. “ ‘Oh, yes I will,’ said Newcombe, getting a little red in the face. ' “ ‘l’ll bet you don’t,’ I continued. “ ‘lndeed? And why notf “I pointed to my man in tho jury-box, and Newcombe nearly fell down, he was so taken aback. The consequence was that my client came very close being punished for contempt. He had lieen drawn in the regu lar course of jury-drawing, and was actually put into this verv jury, quite without his own connivance. When I asked him about it, he said ho supposed it was all right. Then I enquired how he exported to servo on his own case. “ ‘Why notr said he. ‘I should like to know who is better posted about this case than I am.’ ” Plain Talk.

JULY 19. 1887.. THE GRANDE CHARTREUSE. WhatAthe Carthueian Monka Thought of the Queen of England. A Carthusian monk writes this to the Pall Mall Gazette: The following extract from the letter of a Carthusian monk to his niece in Scotland, relative to the recent visit of the queen to La Grando Chartreuse, has been contributed to the eojumns of an even ing paper. This monk is writing from an other Chartreuse, but as his prior was at the Grand Chartreuse when the queen visited it, he is able to give the local view of the royal visit: “As you derive some pleasure from little scraps of information aliout Her Majesty the Queen, I feel no small degree of satis faction in being able to tell you that I have just learned all the particulars about the royal visit to the Grande Chartreuse, and so that singular event null form the subject of the present letter. From what you told me in your last letter, I see very well that the substance of all that has been said by the journals about the royal visit maybe very accurately reduced to two simple points. First, in order to receive her majesty, the rules of the order were laid aside; and, second, the queen refused to partake of the hospitality that was humbly offered to her. There is not so much as a single word of truth in either the one or the other of these two statements. They are both false—en tirely false. “Prom the days of St. Benedict such a thing as a monastic rule about the admission into, or the exclusion from, cloistered mon asteries of either sex, has never been heard of in the Catholic world. There is and al ways has been a law—a general law—a law made not by either monks or nuns, but by a general council of the church of God, about that very important matter. The law for bids, under pain of excommunication, the admission of men into the convents of clois tered nuns, and the admission of women in to the monasteries of monks who live se cluded from the world. But the law very expressly excepts both bishops and crowned heads. No doubt when the law was made the person of both kings and queens were sacred. Then allj of them were Catholic, a good number of them were saints, and the possibility of ever beholding anywhere in Europe, such a monster as a heretic king or a heretic queen, was never dreamed of. The religious revolution of the sixteenth century gave birth to more than one of these mon sters, but then - appearance in Christendom made no change in the law. Its letter and its spirit has always remained, and will always remain what it was in the ages of faith. “It is quite true, then, that the foot of an ordinary woman, or of an ordinary lady has never crossed the threshold of the en trance gate of the Grande Chartreuse, but during the last 800 years a great number of queens have visited and dined in the grand old monastery. The daughter and succes sor of the renown Gustavus Adolphus, was one of them; Christino, of Sweden, was re ceived into it just a short time before she abdicated the crown and adjured Protestan tism, and became a fervent child of the Catholi c church. No rule, therefore, was violated, no custom was momentarily for gotten, no exception was made in favor of her Britannic Majesty. Queen Victoria had a perfect legal right to be admitted into the old cloisters and to be conducted through all the cells, and to be shown everything which she wished to see from the top to the bottom of the aged pile. But to be received into cloistered convents, kings must be act ually reigning; and to be admitted into monasteries of the same kind, queens must be actually reigning: so that were her maj esty of England to aixiieate to-morrow, and knock just the next day at the old gate of La Grande Chartreuse, or that of any of the houses of the order, she would not be al lowed to cross the threshold of any of them. When either kings or queens cease to reign they fall into the category of private per sons, and they are rigidly excluded. Such is the law. it never has been, and never will be changed. “Her majesty remained in the monastery about four hours. She did not dine, be cause no notice of her visit had been sent beforehand to the father-general, and so there was no time for preparing a dinner for the royal part}’. But the modest queen partook very heartily of a collation, which was composed of chocolate, biscuits, jellies and confectioneries of various kinds. She did more than that. She inquired of the reverend father if any of her good people from any of the three kingdoms were among his children of the Grande Chartreuse; and having learned that there was a young and amiable Englishman actually in the convent, she at once expressed a strong wish to visit him in his own cell. (I do not now the family name of the young man, but he is a convert, an the son of an English Protes tant clergyman.) Her majesty’s wish was forthwith gratified. The father-general was her pilot through the obscure windings of the cloisters. The young son of St. Bruno received his sovereign with great ease, modesty and politeness. The good queen was quite charmed. She sat down on an old straw chair close by him, and chattered maternally for nearly half an hour. She piously recommended both herself and her faithful subjects to his good prayers; and she was so highly pleased with his edifying conversation that she went the length- of requesting him to givo her a lttle ‘souvenir’ which would enable her, after her return to England, to recall to her mind the pleasure she derived from her visit to him and the Grand Chart reuse. Ho was the first Eng lish cloistered monk to whom her majesty had ever opened her royal lips. The young son of St. Bruno at once presented to her a small silver cruifix of very ancient date and very fine workmanship. It was the only thing of any value that ho had in his cell. The Queen did not kiss the image of her crucified Redeemer, but she gracefully accepted it, placed it carefully in one of her pockets, very affectionately bade farewell to the young convert and in a very short time alterward she departed from the venerable cradle of the Carthusian order. “I received the knowledge of these little facts and circumstances from the lips of our own father, who lias just returned from the chanter-general of the order, wdiieh is an nually hold at the Grande Chartreuse. They were communicated to him by the father general, and so about their exactness and certitude no room is left for the entertain ing even the shallow of a doubt.” London Society Journals. From Correspondence of the World. The society journals are the only news papers in London which print anything like gossip or free comment upon the actions of royal people or of high officials, yet the so ciety papers are divided into two classes— tho effusively fulsome and the odiously vul far. One class praises and writes on its neos, using capital letters at every point to show reverence and humility, while the other stands up and indulges in coarse in vective and abuse. Tile pa pel' which would pursue the middle course and speak of cur rent affairs with (mod nature and at tho same time with carefulness us to truth and some regard for decency would undoubtedly be very jiopular. Tho society papers widen at tack the higher classes, as they are generally understood, dei>end almost entirely upon their imagination for their facts. They toll with the most glib familiarity the most pre posterous stones of social life whore writers for these parsers can by no possibility pene trate. I notice that this week a number of society rajiors dwell upon the fact that the ]ople who went to Westminister Abbey upon the occasion of the Jubilee perform \ anee talked, lnughed, chatted and lunched as if they were at a picnic. There is not the slightest semblance of truth in any of these stories. I was in the Abbey from early in the morning till the close of the cere mony. There was the utmost decorum maintained throughout. The majority of the crowd was iti full dross; the formal dig nity of the crowd corresponded with their elaborate full dress. Thera was so much to occupy the crowd in the way of arrivals from time to time that there was very little occasion for talkin'-. I think. considering the way the people were packed together, that the order maintained was very won derful CHEAP ADVERTISING. OJiE CENTA WORD.
