Senate Proceedings.
Atlanta, Ga. . Aug. 21.—The confeder
ate veteran home bill was deferred to-day
upon motion of Mr. Cutta of Sumter and
made a special order for Tuesday. The
farmers did not want to do this. They are
generally opposed to toe measure, and
when it comes up for discussion some lively
times are going to be seen. They are at
work to defeat it now . but they are going
about their work quietly. Th-y say that
the soldiers will no: use tbo home, and there
is no use, not a bit, for the state to take this
elephant off the bands of those who built it.
There will be appropriation after appropria
tion for it. they say; besides it is only a
scheme to boost Atlanta.
Mr. Huff of Bibb and Mr, Cutts of Sum
ter will be the leaders favoring the bill.
Mr. Atkmson of Coweta and Mr.
Wheeler of Walker will lea 1 the fight op

THE FORM BOOK BILL.
The bill of Mr. Meriwether to authorize
the governor to buy 701 copies of the Geor
gia form book, to be used by justices of the
peace, provoked argument from every
quarter.
Mr Fleming of Richmond tore it all to
pieces, but Mr. Humphreys of Brooks
showed that he was a splendid darner. He
made a gooo argument for it.
Mr. Wooten of Dougherty spoke ag&lnst
it. and finally in the midst of so much talk
the bill went like a needle in a hay stack.
It was lost.
HISTORY FOB THE SCHOOLS.
Mr. Norman of Liberty found that he had
a lot of the members against him this morn
ing when he flung his little measure
out to be punctured, if It could be.
The bill is to prohibit the use in schools of
bistoriee which refer to the war between
the states as the war of the rebellion. The
warborses jumped on the bill and tried to
break it to pieces. They said it was no
hour for engendering such feelings. As fjt
the younger generations, they will not de
part from the paths of their* fathers, nor
forget th 9 traditions of their people. No
race has ever done’s o. The discissions on
this measure were lengthened by amend
ments and substitutes, and by sharp argu
ments pro and con, a considerab.e time.
Lectured Crawford, the colored member
from Mclntosh, was flat-footed against the
measure. He got up and walked into the
middle aisle to be heard, but somebody
made a motion to table the measure, and
bef ore the speaker opened up be had to vote
on it.
The motion was lost, aad the bill was put
oc its passage and was likewise lost.

A HORRIBLE STORY.
An Insane Mother Murders Her Two
Little Children.
Baltimore, Md.. Aug. 21.—An Alex
andria iW. Va> dispatch to the American
tells the following horrible story: Mrs.
Bamphowser, wife of one of the most
prosperous residents of Helvetia, during a
fit of temporary insanity and while her
husband and the elder members of the
laraily were at their barn thrashing graifi,
took her two younger eoildren, a babe of
13 months and a boy of 3 years of age, to
the spring house, where she deliberately
DROWNED THE BABY
in the spring, holding it under the water,
she says, until it was dead, and then at
tempted to do the same with the other
child. The little fellow escaped and ran
back to the house only to meet death in a
more horrible ma .ner. The mother returned
to the house and brained the boy with a
hatchet, mutilating the body in a fiendish
way. Then she attempted to take her own
life by stabbing herself two or three times
in the throat and neck with a
butcher knife. Her wounds are not con
sidered fatal. The only cause she assigns
is that she was tired of living, and did not
want to leave her children behind.

year the waters advance one tod inland
where no bluffs afford a temporarily opp s
ing barrier. Property owners at summer
resorts all along the shore view with dread
the encroachment of the sea, trying their
beet to oppose its progrees with breakwaters
and other feeble expedients. Nevertheless,
the eating away of the 6bore still
proceeds, inexorable Neptune devouring it
inch by inch. Ocean avenue at Long Branch
only a few years ago was a broad road; now
it is a narrow one comparatively, its width
decreasing annually. At other points the
beacnes of a geueration back are hundreds
of yards out at sea. The seaside cottage,
with a broad lawn before it, has an ‘ex
pectation of life’ of a decade or so perhaps,
but it must go. Not long since a huge hotel
at a popular summer city had to be dragged
by a team of locomotives a considerable dis
tance to escape the waters which were un
dermining it
"Along the Gulf coast from Mobile bay
to the mouth of the Mississiopi the same
direful process is going on. Villas and
orange groves on the shore are swept away
and inundated by the advancing waves.
Thirty-four years ago Last Island, a health
and pleasure resort of New Orleans, was
swallowed up by the storm waters, with
most of its transient population, and only a
tide-washed bank remains to mark its site.
More lhan once since then villages and set
tlements on the margin of the Gulf and
upon the delta islands of the Mississippi
have been wiped from the face of the land.
All those occurrences tell the same story of
encroachment by the ocean upon the conti
nent.
Comparison of maos shows that the At*
lantic coast from Baruegat inlet twelve
miles southward, known as Long Beaob,
has in thirty-two years retreated 545 feet—
more than one-tenth of a mile. Surveys of
Cape May oounty demonstrate that within
the last century the shore along it has re
ceded three-quarters of a mile. Ou the Caro
lina coast the advance of the sea upon the
rice plantations has been going on steadily
for three generations. ‘The sea is devour
ing the land,’ says Lafoadio Hearn. ‘Many
and many a mile of ground has yielded to
the tireless charging of oeean cavalry. Far
out you can see with a good glass the por
poises at play where of old the sugar cane
shook out its million bannerets and shark
fins are now seen in water above a site
where pigeons used to coo.’
“One curious feature of these alterations
of the coast line by the encroachment of
the seas is found in the exposure by the
advancing waters of ancient meadows and
forests long buried. In this manner have
been disclosed to view old cedar swamps,
and thus a singular industry—actual mining
for timber has been created. At several
points in Eastern New Jersey enormous
quantities of white cedar and magnolia
logs, sound and fit for use, are found sub
merged in what have now become salt
marshes. Many of the trees thus exhumed
were forest giants. In the Great Cedar
swamp, on the creek of the same name, the
trunks reach a diameter of sevea feet.
“The cause of all this is that the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts are actually sinking, aud
the rate at which they are going down is
estimated by the official geologist of New
Jersey at two feet per century. Now, the
general seaward slope of the edge of the
continent is about six feet to the mile, so
that the sinking of each 100 years gives a
third of a mile of lowland to the oceaD.
This would seem to be rather less than the
rate of encroachment indicated by com
parison of maps made at successive periods.
Modern geological tclenoe has ascertained
that the entire crust of the earth
is in a condition of such sensitive
equilibrium that the taking
of weight from one part of it to another
brings about elevation of the portion from
whence the weight is removed and produces
a corresponding depression of the portion
where it is added. The rivers which empty
into the At antic from Cope Cod to Capa
Hatteras and along the shores of the gulf
carry into the ocean each year billions of
tons of material, which is' thus deposited
outside the ocean’s edge. The weight trans
ferred causes a steadily progressive depres
sion of the coast line.
“If all the water in the Atlantic ocean
were dried up you would perhaps bo sur
prised to observe that the eastern edge of
the great land mass which we call the
Nortu American continent is not the pres
ent beaca line at all. You would sea that
the continent itself extends far out into the
ocean, a distance varying from fifty to 100
miles. Once upon a time this terrace was
all above the water; the east shore of the
continent had a very different
shape, there was a deep sea close
to the coast, and the localities
where now are situated New York,
Philadelphia and • Boston were far inland
Gradually, owing to the causes I have men
tioned, this great terrace has sunk so that
ships are sailing over what was a few thou
sands of years ago dry land. So short a
time, from the geological point of view,
has been required to effect this change that
the beds of tho Hudson, the Potomac and
other great streams are still deep channels
cut out of the terrace, a sufficient period
not having elapsed for filling them up with
detritus.
“The process by which this was accom
plished is steadily and progressively going
on. Each year the Atlantic shore line—
and the same is true of tho gulf const—is
farther westward by an average distance
of a rod. For each eeutury there is a loss
one-third of a mile to tho edge of the conti
nent. How long is it going to be
at this rate before the eastern
coastal plain of the United
States is submerged beneath the
ocean, together with all its populous cities
and fertile fields! These plains, originally
fashioned by the sea, the ocean is reclaim
ing for its own. Its octopus arms are seiz
ing them in their embrace, and day by day,
month by month, year by year, generation
by generation the monster is creeping fur
ther and further inland. Its power is too
great for puny man to oppose successfully;
be can only slowly retreat before the iuval
sion.”

If you have made up your mind to buy
Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take
any other. A Boston lady, whose example is
worthy imitation,, tells her experience below:
“ In one store where I went to buy Hood's
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy
their own instead of Hood s; he told me their's
would last longer; that I might take it on ten
To Get
days' trial; that if I did not like it I need not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I had taken
Hood's Sarsaparilla, knew what it was, was
satisfied with it, and did not want any other.
When I began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable with dyspepsia,
and so weak that at times I couid hardly
Hood’s
ftand. I looked like a person in consump
tion. Hood s Sarsaparilla did me so much
good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequency speak of it.” Mbs!
