Special attention will be given to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward pupers by tbo most direct uud quickest routes. The “wet” condition of affairs in North and XJjddlo Georgia is bad, but it is uot in toxicating. -- The Peabody Institute is having a very successful meeting at Atluntu. The Jeotuis-s. ttnd addresses are of a very high order of merit. When the members of the Legislature contemplate the number of local bills which olaim their attention they doubtless wonder whether they will not have to eat their Christmas dinner in Atlanta. The artesian water was turned on just in time. The Savannah river water, when the coming flood reaches here, will contain so much silt that it will Iki almost possible for the children to make mini pies of it. The members of l)r. McGlynu’s church, St. Stephen’s, say that they will pursue “an aggressive policy” in seeking his restoration' to the priesthood. Too much aggression is what hus caused all tho doctor's trouble. The gubernatorial campaign in Kentucky progresses favorably for the Democrats. The Republicans have about given up the fight. This is as it should be, for Kentucky i too grout a State to bo dominated by Re publicans. If Mr. 11. M. Flagley curries out his ex pressed pur|x*L> of spending SB,O 10,000 in Florida in impre t uiu .. the amount which he will annual y imy into the State Treasury in the shape of taxes, wilt be quite u hand Vane little fortune. Those who observe closely will be puzzled by tho fact that every tarnished woman that does anything sensational nowadays Is said to be of “tho bast society.” Either “tlie best society” is grossly libeled or it sadly needs reforming. Representative Felton’s bill, providing a fefomiatory institution for youthful con victs, is a step in the right direction, but unless he can show that the cost of it will te much less than it is claimed, it will not meet with much favor in tho Legislature- In oil ports of this Ktato and Florida the .'arniers were rejoicing a couple of weeks ago over the prospect of bountiful crops. , In some localities rejoicing lias boon turned into mourning by the remarkably heavy rains which have fallen within the past few lays. If tho people who live along the water rourscs wish to prevent loss from high water ;hoy should plant trees on the banks of tho streams. The remedy has proved ellloaeious in some sections of tho ►ountry. l’lunt trees nd cease to cut down tlioso that aro already (rowing. The reunion of tiie survivors of the Third Beorgm regim-nt at Ratal.ton on Aug. 5 |md 1 will doubtless be a very enjoyable one. The jxrople of Eutonton know how to enter tain and make people enjoy themselves. Tho reunion will bo under the auspices of the “Brown Rifles.” Joseph Smith, Jr., Rrc.idout of tho Mor mon church at Lauioni, 111., will go to Salt Lake City uud present his claims to the Presidency of the Mormon church in Utah. He will find that the church in Utah has bc como too “advanced" to accept u nou-polyg imist as its President. There is nothing like- flgurcs to show the development of the Mouth. Tennessee, for instance, lias an area of 5,100 square miles of ooal, which covers twenty-two counties. During tbo past six yearn the output of coal in that State hus gix>wn from 494,000 tons to 1,100,000 tons, uu incrcaso of 100 per rent. The American Forestry Congress will meet at Springfield Aug. it), and will con tinue in session two days. In view of the fact that it is the growing belief that trees, particularly along streams, havo a ten dency to prevent destructive floods the congress ought to receive every possible oneourwgciner.t. It is su'd tho number of bottles that have ’■icon broken l.y the,3t. Louis people since the Prcxidmit agreed to visit tlmt city would stock'll Wine house. The Bt.

In some directions it is a question whether science L aceomplif-hing more goixl than harm. Nobody will deny that it has accom plished a great deal of good. Considering how much it has added to the conveniences and comforts of life, it is difficult to under stand how the people of primitive ages man aged to live ns well as tl oy did. Put science has also added much to the inconveniences and discomforts of life. For instance, our ancertors of 100 years ago were not driven almost to the point of starvation by scien tific revolutions regarding the injurious ef fects of the food they ate and the liquids they drank. They did not refuse to eat bread made of flour for fear of plaster of l aris adulterations, nor did they boil the water and tho milk they drank. Neither did they swallow a nauseous drug after every meal in ordo” to counter act the impurities of their food. At the present, however, if science is to lie lie licved, people risk their lives every time they oat or drink, unless they first —or afterward—take the precautions which sci ence prescribes. Perhajis tho alleged discoveries with ref erence to the hurtful influence of certain ar ticles of food and drink which have long lieon in use arc the result of the multiplicity of doctors. The doctors must live, and every fresh discovery of the nature men tioned increases their opportunities for making visits and proscriptions. Seriously, people are too much given to taking medicine. In every household may be found almost a sufficient quantity of drugs to kill nr cure a regiment. It would lie well for the present generation to throw physic to tho dogs and re-urn to the ways of the forefathers. Let the habits of life be simple aigl regular, avoid intoxicants and the hundreds of fancy drinks thnt are sold, and eat food known to be healthful and which is well cooked. Don’t turn uigbt into day. and be careful not to work eight tan hours oyt of tho twenty-four. If this advice be followed there will lie fewer dyspeptics, and the alleged discoveries of science regarding food and drink will cease to be terrifying. Keep tho Quacks Out It is related of an Irishman who wanted to get rid of u decayed tooth that he filled the hollow with gunpowder, touched a lighted match to it, undthen raji around tbo corner to get out of the way of the explo sion. His plan was not worse than that of which the negroes in a noigliiHiring town have been made the victims. It seems that a “doctor,” who claimod to extract teeth without pain, operated among the negroes of this town greatly to iiis profit. He used a ding which really caused teeth to come out without pain, and during three days and nights he relieved scores of patients. On tljo fourth day he decamped, notwithstand ing the fact that many more patients were eager to lrnvo his services. In tho course of a b ook or ten days every negro that had Permitted the “doctor” to puli a tooth was ‘in bed suffering agony from a disease that resembled lockjaw. The “doctor’s” drug was a poison, and its effect was excruciating ly painful. Every town in Georgia of any impor tance is jaeriodionlly visited by some quack, .-'•he either proposes to cure all diseases or to mrp tor.',.chronic cases with which able pliy cen kept, larger experience have been unable lose for tbfijjng ” Unfortunately there ure [arv is t h n °rnnt people to be imposed upon, m* i tifsi quack generally reaps a golden har vest. People forget, too, that a “euro-all” why stays in a town but a few days is more than likely to be a swindler, and it there fore* frequently occurs that some who should know better ure also imposed upon. The latter clnss, perhaps, deserve to be swindled, for they willfully place themselves in the wny of losing money and of receiving physical injury in spite of frequent warn ings not to do so. The former class, how ever.* should bo protected. If the laws now in force are not sufficient to prevent quacks from operating in Geor gia, then others that will accomplish that object should bo promptly enacted. Human flesh is heir to enough ills and the number should not lie increased by unscrupulous persons whoso only object is to obtain money. A tax upon quacks would not be sufficient. What is needed is a law that will keep them out of the State, or, if they persist in coming into it, that will severely punish them. Tbo Finance Committee's Bills. The Finance Committee, of which Repre sentative Gordon, of this county, is chair man, has worked very faithfully since tho beginning of the adjourned session, and, ns a result, has presented to the House bills relating to the State’s financial affairs which cannot fail to command the approval of the Legislature. There is no abler mem ber of the Legislature than Mr. Gordon, and certainly no one better, if so well, fitted to handle the State’s finances. The State’s bonded indebtedness amounts to $8,71)4,500. It falls due us fol lows; $2,141,000, Jan. 1, 1880; $2,0118,000; Oct. 1, 181X1; $307,500, July 1. 1802; $542,000, July 1, 1800; $11,202,000, July 1, 1015. The constitution requires that a sinking fund shall lie provided for tho jiavuiont of tho above amounts, and the Finance Committee lias introduced bills for that purpose. There is also $254,000 of fifty-year University bonds for which the State is liable, but no sinking fund is required for their payment The Finance Committee has reported two bills—one to raise SIOO,OOO in lssi, and the same amount in 1888, U s n sinking fund, to lie applied to tho payment of bonds which become due in 1889—and the other authorizing tlie issuance of bonds to raise money to pay the lionds falling duo in 18811 not liquidated l>y tho sinking fund. Tho bill also provides for a permanent sink ing fund of SIOO,OOO a year, and for apply ing the proceeds of the tale of the Western and Atlantic rood to tlie payment of tho Htnte debt if the road is sold. Tho bills are framed with groat care and will doubtless accoiii)>lish tbo object for which they arc intended. The lower Savannah river planters ure threatened with a very serious overflow. Tho rank vegetation in tho swamps, how ever, will chuck the (low of the water to the river, and if they keep a sharp lookout for the weak places in their banks they H>av, to a very great extent, save themselves from surious losses. Tho (arms immedi ately below Augusta are already under water. _ When Oscar J. Harvey, the forger of the Treasury Department ,caine lief ore the court for sentence, bis counsel interposed a plea fur leniency, on the ground tlmt tho prisoner bad a “morbid disposition to live beyond his means.” As his sentence is twelve years in tho penitentiary, it is evident that tho e nfirt thought it necessary to put him w here be would not b; uxv'jmsJ to tacit tatUA THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 1887. Why Wo May Celebrate. The Boston Journal recently gave some interesting reasons why the people of the United States should celebrate the centen nial of the adoption of the constitution. It was on Sept. 17, 1787, that the convention which framed tho constitution presented it to the people for ratification. After con siderable delay it was ratified, and what Mr. Gladstone has pronounced “the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by tlie brain and purpose of man, ” went into operation early in the year 178'.). At that date, therefore,national development began. In 1790 the population of the United States was 0,929,314. It is now estimated to bo over (il ,000,000. The development of the country in population has been nothing than wonderful. “In 1831 Great Britain and Ireland contained 34,0(X>,0iX) of people, and fifty years later 34,000,000. During that period France increased from 33,000,000 to 37,000,000. During that half century this republic bounded from 13,000,- 000 to 50,000,000. That is, in fifty years tlie increase has been equal to the population of France, and to-day more English-speaking people live in tho republic than in all tho world besides.” In 1850 tho wealth of the United States was but $8,430,000,000, wlple that of Great Britain and Ireland was more than $22,500,- 000,000. In tho next thirty years Great Britain's wealth was measured by $43,0Q0,- 000,000, while that of tjil) Vijited States was $48,950,000,000. Mr. Chauncey M. De pew, of New York, said not long ago that the current estimate of the country’s wealth was $00,000,000,000. The United States are the greatest agricultural and the greatest manufacturing country in the world. In 1880 tho value of manufactures was $5,500,000,000, while that of Great Britain and Ireland was $4,090,000,000. Not only aro the people of this country the greatest producers, but they are the greatest consumers of the products of industry and skill in the world. The total annual saving of the people is $1,100,000,000—*280,000,000 more than that of the people of Great Bri tain. Mr. Andrew Carnegie says: “The 50,000,(XXI Americans of 18H0 could have bought up the 140,000,0<)0 of Russians, Aus trians and Spaniards; or, after purchasing wealthy France, would have had enough pocket monoy to acquire Denmark, Nor way, Switzerland and Greece.” They could have bought Great Britain, Ireland and Wales and still have had enough to pay off the national debt of those countries. In shipping tho United States rank next to Great Britain. There are more miles of railway in this country than in the whole of Europe, and there are 700,000 miles of telegraph. In 1880 tho United States expended $82,- 500,(XX) for public schools, there lieing 177,- 100 of them at that date, not to mention higher institutions. A foreign-born citizen of tlie United States says: “The free com mon school system of the land is probably, after all, tho greatest single power in tho unifying process which is producing the new American race. Through the crucible of good common English education, fur nished free by the State, pass tho various racial elements—children of Irishmen, Ger mans, Italians, Si>ariish, Swedes, side by side with tlie nativo American, all to lx; fused into one language, in thought, in feel ing, and in patriotism.” No other nation in the world expends ns much money for religious training, for charities, anil for higher education. “In 1880 only five persons in 1,003 were the objects of public charity, while in Europe the number was forty-one. ()ur jieople gen erally are the most intelligent, the best fed, clothed and housed in the world. What the laboring classes here enjoy as every-day necessaries of life those in other countries regard as luxuries. While other nations are expending millions annually to keop up costly armaments, we have no standing army. While our public debt is decreasing, that of the leading nations of Europe is an increasing burden.” Much more might lx> added, but enough lias been said to show that the people of the United States have tho very best reasons for celebrating tho centennial of tho adop tion of tho constitution under which they live. The Galveston News makes tho following argument against prohibition; “The Pro hibitionists say that tlie people of Texas pay $50,000,000 a year for liquors. This sum is a dead loss to the people, and the peoplo would lx; $50,000,000 a year richer if liquor were prohibited. So far so good, but why not save the jx-ople a round $100,000.000 a year and at the same time rid the land of dogs and hydrophobia 1 Texas doubtless contains 2,5(H),(KM) dogs. These dogs con sumo the substance of tho poor man, make havoc among the sheep, howl and suck eggs. They make night hideous, interrupt re ligious devotions and torment the sick and nervous. If the government must take charge of tho jieople and control their pri vate affairs, why not prohibit dogs?” If the News will advocate a constitutional amendment prohibiting dogs, it may sno oped in having it adopted. Without whisky and dogs Texas would have a boom com jjarod to which tlie Ixioins of other States would be mere boomlcts. Mr George E. McNeill, a representative member of tin* Knights of Labor of Bos ton, lias published nn address to the Labor party urging a cessation of violent mid almsivo tactics and a settlement of differ ences with employers by arbitration. Ho wants Mr. Powderly to call a conference of the opponouts cf his administration and dis cuss v.lth them this question; “What can Ik* done to restore harmony and advance the interests of the order of Knights of La Lug” Mr. McNeill is on tho right track, but it is far from certain that his address will ac complish the ob ject lie aims at. Tho jieople of New York and Boston wore much worried lately by tho statement of tho weather bureau that the atmosphere was full of “humidity.” They felt better, how ever. when it was explained to them that “humidity” merely meant damp and muggy. The Weat her Bureau ought to lx* careful about tho words it springs ujion tho jxsiple of Boston and New York. There is no tolling what may happen if their under standings arc taxed too heavily. A letter from Mrs. Blaine to a friend in Augusta, Me., says that Mr. Blaine “several timoe danced upon the green” at Bridge of Earn, Scotland Some time next year Mr. Blaine will daneo again, provided tho Re publicans nominate him for President, lie will dance in anger because of a second de feat at tho hands of tho Democratic jiorty. The statement is made that California's raisin crop this year will lie 1,009,(XX) boxes, and that the quulity will be the very best. Georgia might probabjy produce raisin*. It is said that both the soil and the cliuiuto of •a* Giwt-j are sulsaoht fur their jioducUou. CURRENT COMMENT. Give Us a Rest.

They are All Dead. from the Missouri l.’enublican (Dem.) Neither Blaine nor Sherman, nor Allison can I Ih* elected President. Ex-Postmaster General [ Hatton Ki*es this clearly and admits it. By taking one stop after another in this direction, he will finally arrive at th" great truth that the j Republicans woo could lie elected ure ail dead. Not for the Political Beaver. from the New York World (Dem.) John Sherman is an old-fashioned jiolitician. He wants to be President. He has been a standing candidate for fifteen years. Like the man in the rural districts who seeks to be Sheriff, he puts his "announcement” in the iii'ivs)sifters and goes to work. He sets up the primaries and takes charge of the conventions, lie solicits votes and is ready to “swap.” But, alas! the Presidency is not often conferred ujioa the jxilitical beaver. In the Last Ditch. from the New York Graphic (Dem.) Tho friends of a protective tariff in this country seem to be in the last ditch. The com mon sense of the people has repudiated the fal lacies upon which their system is based; the ne cessities of the, government no longer demand the large revenue which justified the inquisition of heavy duties on imports—the public demand is now for relief from the burdens of war taxa tion. The combat between the protectionists and the revenue reformers has been fierce and protracted, but little by little the cause of the pcopluhas advanced, and its opponents have lieen forced from what they deemed impreg nable positions. Lately they heve boon driven to resort to the most desperate tactics to pre vent immediate defeat. ERIGHT BITS. It is the skirt of a lady’s ball dress that costs.

Justice Matthews is in Ohio in attendance upon his sick wife. Justice Miller went to the Northwest to hold court, but Congress having failed to appro priate the necessary funds for court expenses, hi! was obliged to adjourn this court because there was no money to pay clerks, marshals or witnesses. The justice will not regret this en forced vacation, which be is enjoying nt Block Island, where lie generally s]ends the summer, or at least so much of it as members of this hard working court are allowed for rest.

Jus tice Harlan is attending court in Indiana and Illinois, and makes occasional visits to Wash ington, where his family still are. Justice Field is in California. Trousers Which Come High. From the Washington Star. Secretary latuav is now wearing trousers of a rather peculiar color. One pair has a purplish tinge and the other is blue. The Secretary re gards them us great additions to his wardrobe and calls the attention of his friends to the ex cellenee of the material and the fact that they are entirely made by hand. They are manufac tured in Louisiana by people who raise their own cotton, color and weave it into cloth, just as the}- did many years ago. They never wear out, and while the color might not suit some, yet the fact that the cloth costs $7 50 per yard ought to bo sufficient to make it at once fash ionable. The Secretary without saying anything about the price is in the habit of tail ing bis friends that he can order them a suit of this cloth, or a part of a suit. Asa rule they sav that they would be very glad if he would take the trouble to do so. Commissioner Black was so enthusiastic over the stuff, as shown in the shapely pants worn by the Secretary, that be at once said that he must have a suit, and while they were about it they might as well order two suits for his children. The Secretary suggested that, as the cloth cost $7 50 per yard, some cash would lie acceptable; otherwise there might lie some delay while the Secretary was accumulating the money needed to pay for t hreo suits. The Commissioner thought that, in view of the price, the Secretary need not send the order for the suits for the present. Eats Poas With His Knife. From London Society. Lion hunters seom to have gone clean stark raving mad over the burly ehanns of the Ameri can circus man. Nothing is too good for him, from the box seat at Charlie Beresford’s coach to a seat at the supper table of uuy fad-monger ing hostess who Is fortunate enough to work a mutual advertisement by securing the buffalo person's presence at dance or reception. Now. against Buffalo Bill himself, we have not a word to say. Asa showman he is a distinct success, and the very fact of him getting himself asked to London drawing-rooms proves that he is not only a circus manager, hut an “advance agent'’— that is the eorreet American ism—of more than common enterprise. But it does seem passing strange that ladies should go out of their way to ask to their houses a man who professes not only to have indulged freely in the uncleanly outrage of skinning the heads of his fallen foes, but to have treasured the relics of such nasty surgery. Apart from this. Bill is said to carry his firm belief in the knife into the supper rooms of 1 1 is new friends, giving preference to that imple ment over his fork for the purpose of “trailing" round his plate, and finally conveying to his mouth the new peas and other luxuries with which he is supplied, his manoeuvers being watched with open-eyed admiration by the other privileged guests. Scalps aud Buffalo Bill reign in the very same rooms that a year or two ago were the temples of the sunflower and Oscar Wilde. After all, Buffalo Bill for choice. Blessings Brighten, Etc. “When the wind is in the east 'Tis neither good for man nor beast;” Thus thebe runs a runic rhyme Writ in Mother Goose's time. And the world as gospel truth Takes this legend of their youth; All their simple faith Is pinned To this libel on the wind. When it blows so sharp and chill Then catarrhal curses fill All the air, and dismal moans Go up from rheumatic bones. But in days of dust and drought, When tho wind is in the south, Writhing in the cruel clutch Of the summer s torrid touch, Fighting with tho fierce simoon, Then you feel "twouid lie a boon Just to sniff the very least Bit of breath from out tho east. When old Sol pours in hot shot. Till you cannot find a spot That is not as warm as—well, What the parsons now call sheol, Frying in your fat you cry, “Gracious Providence, O why Do we cooling breezes lack? Send.O send, the east wind back!" M. N. B. He Knew the Law From the New York Sun. Ilomer A. Nelson, variously addressed as Judge, Senator und plain Mister, has been little seen in criminal courts for many years, except for bis appearance for the defense in the Sharp trial. A good many jieople do not know that he was for eight years a Judge in a criminal court, and for many other years a Senator at Albany, and chairman of the .Tudiuiarv Committee, which bandies nine-tenths of all the acts tinker ing with the criminal law that are passed. One such person was a young lawyer, who called to expostulate with him over something that was being done or not being done, in the Snurp trial. The point under discussion was as to the legal effect upon a jury of a Judge's order to bring in a certain verdict. The discussion became warm, and the young lawyer said: "Now, Judge, the trouble with you is that you're not posted on criminal law. You've liecu devoting yourself toci.il law so long that you have grown rusty in criminal practice. Wuut you say would lie true, but that there's liven an amendment to the Code that you don’t know of." And the young man patiently exploited to Judge Nelson the language of the amendment he referred to aiul Uie t/jdeni intent of the Legislature in passing it. .'Ac Judge hoard him through and then remarked, quizzically: “Young men, you’re perfectly right about that unu-udivient It lsAliere. jus: us you quote it.

Now the victim himself has appeared on the scene, and the same citizens who were so wild to avenge him are engaged in getting up testimo nials and subscriptions as an atonement for the injury done to the supposed assassin.

Mrs. William McKee Dunn was the daughter of the late Hon. Lot 51. SlorriU. After 51aj. Dunn had won her heart he was referred to her father. He wrote slr. Morrill a letter form ally requesting the hand of his daughter. Now, the .Major writes a hand that looks like a cross between a Virginia rail fence and a Chinese lauudry bill. Mr. Morrill sat up with the letter several nights and finally guessed the contents. If, anything, Morrill's handwriting was worse than Dunn’s. He replied accepting the 51ajor as his son-in-law. Neither of the young people could make out a word of tho reply, but they guessed it was favorable. Of all the great num ber of visitors at Mrs. Dunn's house no one has yet been able to decipher the two letters. A youno man at Fort Popham, 51e., the other day caught a cod which weighed probably thirty pounds, and which he placed in a large hogshead and so kept it alive. When the party went into the water the young man harnessed up the cod with stout twine and placed him in the water. He had a great ileal of sport, and finally, after considerable persuasion, allowed a young lady to try his sea horse. A life pre serve’-was (procured and fustened on her. and she grasped the reins holding the large cod. The fish struck out for deep woter at a rapid pace. The young lady, becoming uneasy, dropped the reins, but they caught in her feet, and if a party had not gone to her rescue in a sailboat the result would have been disastrous. Johs Chamberlin, the well-known caterer and ■Washington clubhouse man, has been in Sara toga for a week. His family are in the cottage of his wife's brother, “Ned" Thorne, the actor, at Pleasure Bay, Long Branch. He says he has lost every bet he bos tried to make in Saratoga, but nevertheless thinks it the most delightful of summer places. A story is told about how he got a Senator's vote for his Old Point Comfort land grant bill last winter. He had asked “Jim" Young to request Senator Evarts to come off the floor and speak with him in the marble chamber. Young is one of the clerks and had access to the floor. While Young was on his mission, Chamberlin spent his time trying to secure the vote of General Butler, of South Car olina. Butler was holding back when Young eame out and said to Chamberlin: "Bill will ho here in u moment.” The idea of any one daring to w)ieak in such n manner about Senator Evarts convulsed Butler with laughter and Chamlier lin's further arguments were unheeded. “1 am for the bill," said Butler, “Say no more about it. lam with Bill for the hill.” Ttif. new enilser Boston, which is now to lie tested for speed prior to Itelng regularly put upon station duty, lias had several predecessors of the same name in the United States navy. One of them, built during the first year of inde pendence at the place from which she took her nnme, mounted 24 guns, and was captured at Charleston when the British took that city in 1789. Her successor, built ill 17#, was a ves sel of 709 tons burden, carrying 28 guns and a crew of 250 men. She also'fell a victim to tho British, after u somewhat longer career of ser vice than her predecessor, being burned at Washington by the British when they captured the national eunitnl in 181). The next vessel of this name was built in 1825, and of about the dimensions of the second Boston, but only car ried 18 guns. She was lost in the West Indies about forty years ago, having lieen in service a score of years. All tlr-se vessels met rather an fortunate ends, hut it may be trusted that the luck in tills respect will change with the fourth Boston, which, unlike the other three, was not built in the city whose name she bears.
