TASKS TO Bit HIGHER
The Legislature Will Levy Them to
Meat Debts.
Atlanta, Ga., July 11.—A serious mat

must come as taxes from the people.

duced a bill levying special taxes on a large
number of professions and businesses not
taxed heretofore. This will probahiy pass

will be needed. A material increase of the

SA Vi N.VA WANS ABROAD.
A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF HOME CF
TuEIH EXPERIENCES.
They Had a Jolly Time at Sea-Had a
Delightful Time In London—Heard
Some Grand Muelo There—Were
Squeezed In a Great Crowd, and
Reached Paris in Good Spirits.
The following letter is from a member of
a party of tie rgia ladies traveling in Eu
rope, a number of whom are from Savan
nah:
London, Eno., June 23. —Here we are in
the great city of cities, having come down
from Liverpool, where we landed at about 3
p. m.
Wbat an enchanting trip across we had!
Some of us did not have an uneasy moment.
Tne weather wae delightful, and all of our
partv were charmed with the Etruria from
captain to crew. Everything on this line
of steamers is on a most generous and sub-
stantial scale.
Thanks to our English friends’ thought
fulness, we were at the captain’s table, and
a very enlivening and pleasant companion
we found him.
We came to London through most
picturesque and lovely scenery, the vale of
Matlock and Derbyshire.
We had not dined in Liverpool before
starting, so satisfied our appetites from a
l#.rge hamper id one of the compartmente.
But although quite ravenously hungry after
our hand to hand struggle in the custom
house, we could hardly take time to eat,
while our eyes were so feasted.
We reached Ixindon about 11 p. m. Satur
day night, and then our weary frames were
allowed to repose.
The next day we went to St. Paui’t for
morning service, but as we were under the
dome, every word end note was echoed to
such a degree that it was impossible to get
a connected i lea of either sermon or music.
We met M. E. as we came out. Bhe had
come over on the City of Richmond, and
and gave us some of tneir thrilling exper
iences on that steamer. Of course you know
it was discovered to tie on fire when only
three days out, and althongh two steamers
followed and never deeerte i them, the sea
was so rough that tbe passengers feared the
attempt to get on board cf either more than
the danger of the fire.
We then went out to Hyde park to see
what is Known as “the church parade."
Such a kaloidosoope of colors and dazzling
toilets was never before seen by any of us, I
am sure.
The most distinguished “creatures" are
accustomed to leave their carriages outside
of the park and go in on foot for the “com
moners" to gaze at 1
We felt it to be quite kind of them, but
would have felt it more gi atefully if a card
had been attached to each person of rank,
giving name and degree. Nothing short of
this would have filled the American eye and
satisfied its craving.
We went to Westminster in the afternoon,
but when I found that f was in the Poet’s
Corner under Garrick, and with the bust of
Dryden across the aisle the service and ser
mon, I confess, were lost to me. I tried to
make out each bust and inscription on the
wall.
After the servioe we found that we had
actually walked over Dickens (or his tomb
stone in the pavement) when we took our
seats. You may be sure that I looked him
up.
Longfellow is near Dryden and Robert
Browning A stone in the pavement marks
the latter spot. It was hard to tear one’s
self away.
Monday we went out to Sydenham to
the Crystal palace to hear the great Handel
oratorio, “The Messiah," rendered by a
chorus of thousands, who sang together as
one voice, aud wore accompanied by an im
meuso orchestra. I never expect to hear
better music again, for it simply could not
be. Lloyd, tbe great tenor; Albani’s sil
very, full soprano; Marian McKenzie, as
contralto, and Santley as barytone—think
of itl
When the soul thrilling “Hallelujah
chorus” began every one rose to their feet,
and gentlemen stool with bared heads.
Then Albani’s rendering of "I Know That
My Redeemer Llveth." But it was all be
yond description.
Tbe comical side of things will come up,
however, after “the sublime, tbe ridlou
lous.”
You should have seen us a few minutes
later, all ruunirg after our oourier, Mr
Fehr, who "engineered” us through that
vast crowd in a wonderfully skillful way;
for wo were seated in cars, while others
rushed about wildly, and had to wait an
other “tiam train.” Tuesday we did the
tower of Loudon, the monument commemo
rative of the great Are, and wont again to
Westminster Abbey. Two of us evon stole
the time for a third visit to that fascinating
place, ere we left London for Paris.
Sunday evening we went to St. Marga
ret’s, West mi lister, to .hear Canon Farrar. We
could barely edge in, an it was so crowded.
People stood up in the aisles and back ot the
church. I just managed to get far enough
in to see him. He preached “a sweet” Ber
mon on hymns and hymn makers, carrying
us faithfully through Cowper’s life ami
struggles (pronounced by him Coo-per). It
was a subject rather too familiar to my
mind to make mo forgot my weariness of
body, thougo, of course, I tried to reason
with myself that 1 was listening to no ordi
nary light. Two “blacking boys” close be
hind me, seemed to drink it in delightedly,
and quite yelled their enjoyment of the last
hymn (in which they joined) in my ears.
We were caught in Wostminstor next day,
just as service liegan, when strolling was
not allowed, and wore at once ushered up
into the choir stalls by the verger.
Canon Furse sat almost beside me. He
was escorted to and from the reading desk
by a long-gowned person with a long staff.
Tbo dignitary wore a hood upon his canon
ical back that would completely have filled
the eye of a high church friend of ours; and
the oboir boys sang divinely.
[From Paris.l As you see, I did not have
time to finish this in London, but was
forced to postpone It till our arrival in
Paris.
We have just come home from an en
chanting day’s sight seeing We drove first
to St. Cloud and then to Versailles—going
over the Grand Trianon palace aud grounds.
Last ore we tcofc carriages and drove out to
see Paris by gaslight, and a sparkling fairy
land it was' We went down the Champs
Elyseei, out by the Arc of Triomphe and
then tnen to Neuilly where the June fetes
reigned supreme. Such a street of dazzling
shows—Couey Island so far left in the shade
as to be dull and slow compared to It. To
morrow we have much in prospect, drives
iu and about Paris, to say nothing of the
Louvre awaiting us. lam more than ever

enough for the present. C. B.

ATTENTION CONTRACTORS.
I am the sole agent and manufacturer for the
states of Georgia and Florida for the new and
improved "WIKDSOR CEMENT” for plastering
walls and ceilings. By using this new process
falling and cracked plastering never occurs. It
is fire-proof and deadens sound. It is not af
fected by dampness, heat or cold. This plaster
ing has been extensively adopted throughout
the entire northern, eastern and western states,
the old lime and hair plaster being a thing of
the past. Two coats of this are sufficient for any
walls or ceilings. I guarantee all work done
with this cement.
