Sherman would have built a canal at Atlanta during the war; but not having time to do that, he simply burned the city. The New York papers say that the dealers mix glue with ice cream. This cheapens the cream and goes a long way towards poisoning the consumer. Miss Mollie Shade, thirty«one in ches high, has just been married to Maj.

It is said that Mr. Wadley has made $50,000 by the recent railroad changes in Georgia, and that he will resign the presidency of the Central on the 4th of July. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. This body will convene in ai •d session next week and if the indi cations are not aU wrong it will nuke a summer of it fit the capital. This is one time wh^vthe members will not have each a lit thing of it, it indeed those who boast any fat do not lose it through the action of the ca loric upon their adipose tissue. It is One time too, when the people can watch the iong session in a spiyk.. of from choice that the members draw their per. diem but on account ot a stern necessity which their own dallying last winter has brought upon them and to avert which they would now willingly lorego the $4 a day. Besides being long and laborious the seasou promises also to be very interesting in some respects. There are already on the calendars of the houses a large number of bills, nearly three hundred we believe, introduced at the last session, some ot them of considerable importance. Then there are a large number af others ready to be introduced at the first opportunity. All of these must be acted on, aud while of course many will be merged with others or killed in ' committee, yet they will consume time, and the number remaining will be laTge enough to carry the session into the days when old Sol shall cease to be terrible. Among the more important matters which will claim the consideration oi the body may be mentioned the con vict lease system, immigration, the railroad commission law, the new capitol, the law governing the presi dential electors and numerous others. These especially require'early atten tion and decisive action. There are any quantity of nominally private bills which are of the first importance to particular sections and the mem' bers will need all the courage of true patriots to discargc their full duty thi. time. ‘ Fortunately there are no elections to call off the attentiou from practical legislation and it is tojbo hoped, since it was by their own vote that the session was thrown into midsummer, the members will allow no visions of summer resorts or quiet country, mountain breezes or sparkling wa terfalls, purling brooks or mineral springs to deter them from bravely euduring even the delightful solstitial avenues ot the Gate City and the ever absorbing purlieus of tbe state sweat- box, ycleped capitol, for the good ot the commonwealth and the promotion ot the people’s happiness. But without any tinge ot irony we wish the General Assembly, each and every member, as pleasant a session aa may be and that they may act with such wisdom and fidelity that their constituents may have all to commend and nothing to condemn.

Prof. Klein, of Hartford, Ky.,- says bo discovered the comet last September. We have no doubt tbat Aleck Stephens also knew it was go ing to happen. A Hungarian journalist has been fined and imprisoned for “attacking the army.” After this who shall blame the old lady of the legend, who was so fearful lest “Trip” should “bite the army ?” A writer in the Walton County News says: “The prohibition move ment got its origin from the radical hot-heads of Maine.” This is a dis covery almost as great as that of a new comet. Tux degree ot LL. D. has been conferred on Senator Joseph E. Brown, by Richmond College, Vir ginia. Long ago, the senator was en titled to the degree of B. D. G.— Bull Driver of Gaddistown. It may seem strange that the skunk, even the veritable polecat, should have a friend and advocate in so emi nent a personage as a member of the New York legislature, but so it is. A bill has just been introduced for the protection of the ‘varmint’ because he is good to eat grubs from the hop vines. There are others of the same genus (bipeds) who are also receiving considerable attention in that body and if we are not mistaken somebody will soon be in the condition of the fellow whose girl said, after he had caught a skunk: “If Harry was soaked in lose water a thousand years he’d never smell sweet again.” The people of Cannda are becom ing interestedjon tbe subject ot annex' ation or independence.

The Sparta Isbmaelite shoots this centre-shot: “The press in Russia is not a wbit freer than are the votes of iactory operatives in the Republic of Massachusetts.” Miss Ellen Bulger was bitten by a moccasin [at the hospital in Columbus, bnt by tbe prompt services of a phy sician all danger was averted.

These were wedged in among the fallen timbers and were badly bruised, two of them it is thought fatally. The city council of Rome wanted to erect a largej building for a city, and other purposes and proposed to levy a tax of $ of 1 per cent for that purpose, but an injunction was sought against it by citizens and was granted by Judge Underwood. The cose will go to the supreme court. T. G. Mooney, a young man who lived near Adairsville,was run over and killed by a train on the Selma, Rome and Dalton road. He was walking on the track and although the whistle was blown and an effort made to stop- the train he paid no heed and made no effort to get out of the way. The Macon Telegraph and Mes senger gives a picture of the new de- eign of Wesleyan Female College, which is very handsome and a decided improvement on the old building. The design is the work of Messrs. Parkins & Bruce, of Atlanta. The picture is a wood cut made hy a six teen year old boy and is a very credls table production.

An indictment for bribery has been found against Senator Sessions, and he is held in $3,000 bail. A New York paper pnbliah&^what purports to be a diary ot a special ae- tective, which gives what it alleges to be facts about the stealing of A. T. Stewart’s body. The detective hints strongly at two sextons of St. Mark’s church being in collusion with the thieves, tbe chief of whom, he says, was Mike Kelly, a hackman who con veyed the body to New Jersey and who was arrested on suspicion a few days alter the robbery, but subset quently was discharged for want of evidence.

While engaged in conversation with Bro Bnrkc the other evening, tbe question of marriage fees came up, and rapidly running over some of his experience in his lipe, he related the following: ‘I have been living in Macon about thirty years, aud in that time I reck on I’ve done more 'charity practice’ in the marryipg lino, than any man in these parts. You see, when a fels low is going to marry who has got a fee to surprise the minister with, he is very apt to call on the pastor of one ot the churches, but iu most other cases they hunt me up.’ ‘Not a great while ago, a gentleman called at my office, and informed me that he had been sent for me to marry a couple several miles oft in tbe coun try. I was very busy, but he’d been sent specially for me, and would take no denial. Bo I went.' The marraige was toteViiptoee.HF8iBhilnnk.ia the. __ , afternoon. It was thon about eleven. I had taken an early breakfast that morning and was in fine trim for a good country dinner—especially after a two hours’ ride. Bnt soon after ar riving at the place I wa8 convinced by circumstantial evidence that the noon-day meal, was numbered with the things of the past. But towards the middle of the afternoon, all hands announced ready, and tho loving couple were made one, with my usual dispatch. Then came a regular wed ding dinner, with its dainties and its woeful dearth of substantials. ‘And soon the lengthening shadows reminded me that night was coming on and I was several miles from home. So I mildly hinted to the friend who carried me thither, that I had best be going home.’ ‘But how are you go ing ?’ he asked. ‘I expected to return with you,’ said I. ‘I’m sorry,’ be eaid, ‘but I can’t carry you. I have to carry my wife and children home.’ ‘Well!’ thought I, ‘if.this ain’t a pretty box!’ While musing thus, a gentleman informed me that it was only about a mile to the railroad, and I could reach the Station in time for the homeward bound train, by taking a ‘nigh cut’ through tbe woods. I finally managed to procure a guide, reached the railroad; tte train was belated on some account; but I final ly reached home at bed time.

TEHPERANCE MOVEMENT LV ENGLAND. (Toronto Globe.) The passage of Sir Wilfrid Law- _.n’s motion affirming the principal of local option, or the right ot localities to prohibit the lipuor traffic within their own boundaries, marks an im portant era in the history of the tem perance reiorm in England. Of course nothing seems in itself more jnst or reasonable than that towns and shires should exercise such a right. It seems monstrous in the abstract to ssy that this city or that county shall be'compelled to suffer all the evils and miseries which are the fruit ot the traffic, no matter how strong or virtually unanimous may be their de* sire to be rid of it. The success of tho motion which has for so many years been annually rejected by the LUCY COBB INSTITUTE. Elsewhere appears the Fall an nouncement of this well known female college of Athens. We are pleased to be able to commend this institution most freely. With the accomplished lady principal the writer is well ac quainted,and is one of the many friends in Aogusta and in Georgia who have admired her for her thorough educa tion and higher graces of womanhood. This school, situated in one of the most delightful portions of Athens, is being handsomely fitted up by its new occupant,the parlors,consulting rooms, private chambers and recitation halls are being well filled with new furni ture and latest comforts. • The com mencement which has just passed was a most interesting aud enconragmg one and the programmes for these oc- cations have reflected the finest scholar ship and the most thorough traiuing. This school is the peculiar pride of Athens, and should be liberally pat ronized by other cities of Georgia. Augusta, Savannah, Atlanta and Ma con, even, although tne latter is sup plied with a fine female college,would do well to be represented by fair daughters in such a place. The fac ulty ot'the Institute we consider em inently practical and progressive,while flue advantages are afforded for mod ern languages, music and art. Geor gia has several female seminaries ot high order within her borders,but she has none of more real excellence than Lucy Cobb Institute of Athens.— Augusta Chronicle and Constitutions alist. inally British House of Commons is matter for congratulation.

FACTS BY REV. SAM JONES. From the Union and Recorder. A spiritual search-warrant should go through the church occasionally. What you feed others on the Devil will feed you on. Nine out of teu liquor dealers fill drunkard’s graves. One rotten rail may let in tbe 8109k and destroy the crop. The neglect of one Christian duty leaves a gap to let the Devil in. The railroads havo mail caw, bag gage cars passenger cars, sleeping cars and smoking cars, and now they should add a cussing car, and all swearers should be shown to seats in it as a piotection to the genteel trav eling public. There are two kinds of courage— physical and moral. Come up here, you men who are not afraid of pis tols and dirks. Now, stand there a minute, and I’ll bring yonr brother.
