believe it, till we have occnlar proof. The fair
Countess is too much a creature of art and
training, she is not spontaneous and full hearted
nor naturally gifted enough to portray to the
life the romantic and ardent daughter of the
Capulets. Mary Anderson’s Juliet, although
not devoid of faults, is apt to be a mors fresh
and natural conception of a young girl in love
for the first time, with the warm blood of the
‘Summer land’ in her veins that are throbbing
with the inrocentand artless impulse of earliest
girlhood. For it must he remembered, Shaks-
peare s -J uliet is only fourteen. And by the way,
why is it that the nurse of Juliet is always rep
resented on the st ge as on old decrepit woman,
shaking with palsy, and bending under the
weight of years ? As girls in Laly marry at
fourteen and fif:een usually, aud are mothers a
year latter, the prooability is that when the
woman in question was wet-nurse to Juliet she
was only sixteen or seventeen years old. There
fore, when the play opens, she would bo thirty
or thirty-one years old—hardly middle aged,
evtn in that climate where women ripen early
aud begin to fade while thoRe of more northern
latitudes are hardly in their prime. Even if
the woman was thirty-five when she was Juliet's
nurse, she would not at the beginning of the
piay, be the decrepid scarecrow which is the
popular stage idea-a bleary, blotched object,
which it revolts one to s a e Juliet kissing and
fondling. *
I visions, clothing, and money to bs sent to W.J.
Mosby, President of the Howard Association.
At Pass Christian, Pattersonvillo, Delta, and
other Louisiana towns, the fever was reported
spreading. We earnestly hope that the cool
i weather and north winds now prevailing wilt
put the terrible disease to rout. The Howards
| navesenta relief train to the fever-afflicted towns
! in Tennessee and Alabama, with physicians,
medicines, nurses and supplies. They found
two hundred cases ot fever at Chattanooga, one
! hundred at Decatur, Alabama.
In Germantown, Tenn., there were five deaths
from fever on Monday the 14‘.h. One of these
we are grieved to learn was our valued contrib-
i utor, Miss Sillie Heneau. She was well known
j throughout the Siuthas an energetic and effi
cient teacher instructing by methods of her
own—and a correct and seusible writer. Her
i mind was practical and systematic, She was
capable of earnest attachments, as well as of
strong prejudices. She was thorough and con
scientious in all her work, and dearly loved her
j profession of teacher. Only a week before her
death she had written our Senior a bright, hope-
J ful iet'er, full of herowu breizy energy, accept-
i ing his proposal that she should take charge of
an instructive department in the ‘Boys & Ghils.’
‘That I will,’ she wrote. ‘I will write just
such things, and in just such a way as 1 talk
when carrying oat one part of my weekly school
program. I will so wrap instruction in pleas
ant illustration ana familiar colli quial language
that it will commend itseif to youthful minds.’
She added in a postscript. ‘The yellow fever
paaic has just seized our town, and it is being
rapidly depopulated. Friends are coming in to
see me, urging me to refugee forthwith, but I
think I shall stand by my colors. I may find
an opportunity of being of use.’
Mrs. Mary J. Messenger, of Memphis, anofher
of our contributors, whose pleasant and tender
little stories have won her friends in many a
Southern household, has suffered terribly from
the fever, and is now in a strait that appeals
to the sympathies of ail. She writes ns from
Pulton.Ga.. where she bus tied from tha ha,rroi'a
of Memphis (after the fever had carried away
three members of her family) with her husband
in broken health and three young children.
She had established a primary and junior school
in Memphis, which was well patronized; but
her husband has determined never to return to
that city; his health forbids it. She sees winter
approaching, knows she must do something to
help her family and asks anxiously where she
can find, in this city, or in some other healthy
locality, employment for her talents, as teacher,
writer, bookkeeper -any position that a lady of
culture and industry could fill. ‘I have will
and determination tor anything,’ she writes.
She gives as reference, T. E. Hanbury of the
Cartersville Express, Hon. John Logue, ex-Mayor
of Memphis, Dr. Sims and Rev. Dr. Landrum,
of Memphis.
There is no heart that will not sympathize
with this lady in the strait to which unavoid
able misfortune has brought her. Such misfor
tune may befall us all. The divine injunction,
‘Bear ye one another’s burdens’has a reactive sig
nificance, and ‘in helping others we help our
selves.’ Some one of our many readers may
have it in their power to offer a helpful suggest
ion to a lady, whom we have every reason to be
lieve most worthy and capable.
The Peabody Association of New Orleans has
established a society of fifty ladies to be known
as the Lady’s Peabody Clothing Society, whose
duty it will be to distribute the clothing that
has been so abundantly donated to the suffering
poor of the city. Mrs. Hanghery was unani
mously elected president of the society, and in
his letter apprising this lady of her election, the
president of the Peabody Association says: ‘the
poor wiil be doubly blessed in having as their
almoner, one who is recognized throughout this
state as one of God's noblest works.’ *
Kraut i III I Women.—The most beanti.
ful woman I know is on the shady side of thirty.
Yes, there are lines of time on her face, but
they are all noble lines. They tell of self con
quered, of love, charity, usefulness. I knew
the face when it was in the bloom of seventeen;
but with all its color and smoothness it was not
so lovely as now. The mouth was like wet coral,
but it had not that tender smile; the eyes were
brilliant, but they lacked those soulful depths;
the very hands had not the expressiveness, the
grace and refinement that they now possess,
ihe girl was beautiful; the woman is something
more. She is charming. She has lived her
year a usefully, nobly; has
. . made the best of time
And Time returns the compliment
Ly treating her genteelly.
She has lived hygeinically too. She has
respect for her physical organization. The
olear skin, the white teeth, plentiful hair
bright eyes tell you this woman has never
raged nature by tight lacing, hot suppers,
pastries, close, overheated rooms, rocking
exercise, indulgence in spleen, blues anc
morbid brooding born of indolence. All t
that mean poverty of blood and nervous exl
tion, my model woman has never allowed
self. She has cultivated her body as well a
mind and heart, consequently she stands b
ns almost as fresh and fairer far than at £
seventeen.
Work and sympathy and care for others

Kvi*S French gallantry has passed into a
proverb, yet that French courtesy to women is
often dashed with contempt is proved by their
literature, by the flippancy or derision seen in
many of I he best French novelists—witty epigrams
about women as well as their failure to draw gen
uinely lovable aud noble female characters. Bril,
liaut women, charming women, enigmatical
women, social sphinxes, muses and graces sparkle
in their pages, but when they attempt to draw
good women, the stiffness and indistinctness iff
outline, betray a want of sympathy or belief in
their own creations. Take some of their numerous
witty saying about women; it is such straws that
show the way the wind blows. There is a want of
faith in woman’s earnestness and honesty wrapped
up in such epigrams as these.
Friendship^betwean women is only a suspension
of hostilities.
A woman's friendship is, as a rule, ihe legacy
ot love or the alms of indifference.
The woman who confides to one man her par
tiality for another seeks advice less than an av
owal.
We are alwaj^s anxious to know why we are
loved; they only care to know how much we love
them.
In church women think that they receive be
cause they observe, aud that they are meditating
when they are only holding their tougues.
It is often a more meritorious act fora woman to
allow something good to be said of another woman
than it would be for her to say it herself
Women attain perfection in but two departments
of literature—letters and memoirs. They only
write welt when they imagine they are talking.
As a rule women care little for comedy, because
it makes them enter into themselves. (Jive them
the drama which draws them out of themselves.
Friendship is a picnic to wbiob all parties c.e-
tribute, aud therefore is something women cannot
understand. With them one party or the other
must stand treat.
Women who would hesitate about crying before
a husbaud or a lover have no scruple about shed
ding tears before an audience. It is with their
emotions as with their shoulders—they are only
displayed in public.
INisiu —Henri Greville.—Are our readers
enjoying the quiet, delightful little story ‘Dosia,’
translated from the French of the famous new nov
elist, ‘Henri Greville,’ alias Madame Alice Durand?
Dosia, though not complicated in plot or thrilling in
incident, is continuously interesting, through its
delicate playfulness, its easy narrative, its fine
character-painting.
Henri Greville has the widest popularity in her
native country. Her father and her husband
have successively held the post of professor (J
French at the University of Saint Petersburg, Her
father M. D. Jean Henri has pretensions to au
thorship, and is ‘best known in the kingdom of
letters by a remarkable essay on Rabelais.’
It is said of him that -he educated his daughter
Alice with great care, aud when she was fifteen,
took her with him to Russia, where she passed
many years, partly in the capital, partly in the
oountry homes of the Russian gentry. Her first,
literary ventures were offered to Paris publishers,
but they were all rejected, and in one case with
quite unnecessary disparagement. She fared
better, however, in Saint Petersburg, where a
French newspaper printed a series of her stories.
About this time she married M. Durand, who had
taken her father’s place at the University, aud
with him she returned, about three years ago, to
Paris, where her reputation as a novelist soou be
came established. Within two years she published
in book form no less than ten novels, all of which
are received with eager delight by the public.
The Acklen Scandal-—Mr. Acklen, the
handsome aud erratic member of Congress,
from Louisana, has a time of it truly, trying to
white-wash his character, which the wicked
black-mailers (so says himself and his friends)
have maliciously besmirched. No sooner had
he succeeded in smothering up the gossip about
the Washington widow, than the flame of anoth
er—a long smouldering scandal—bursts out at
home. A young girl,for whom Acklen had been
a kind of guardian, is the injured party; the
mother is represented (falsely we trust) as privy
to the wrong; and there is a man who is said to
have been deceived or bribed into becoming the
husband of the girl. Even in the midst of the
yellow fever horror,the accusation created a st : r.
Acklen, a candidate for re-election, trembles
for his popularity, gets affidavits from the girl’s
mother and others testifying his innooence and
lays them before, first a Democratic then a Re
publican Committee. ‘Read the evidence,’ he
says, ‘and pronounce upon my character.’
‘Black as soot—our advice is to step down and
out from a public office or aspiration,’ is the ver
dict of the Democratic oommittee. ‘White as
snow. Reseat yourself, brother,’ is the dictum
of the Republican committee.
Who shall decide when committees disagree ?
Meantime,we honor the Demooratic quorum (if
they were honestly convinced of Acklen’s guilt)
in advising him to withdraw from the candida
cy for office. Vioe in high places flourishes
with far too much impunity. Let publio opin
ion frown upon it, and instead of granting ex
tra indulgence to those in office, let it require
of them cleaner hands and a purer reoord than
those who oocnpy a less exalted position. *
Save and Have,—advises the -World.’—It. is
trite couusel but true, and the old sayiug, ‘it is
not what you earn that makes you prosperous, but
what you save,’ ought to be inscribed over every
working man’s door. The‘World’ says that we
of this country are a nation of wasters, and that
France would feed herself with what we throw
away. It continues;
‘What an example France sets to the world !
Although so often desolated and decimated, she is
in a sounder condition now than the nation which
extorted fr. tit her the five milliards. In France,
as a rule, everybody works. Everybody also
saves, and that is a fact of yet greater importance.
The French workingman lives within his income,
and his wife and children help him to do so. He
also lives well and enjoys himself. The great dif
ficulty with our people is that, an increase of in
come only furnishes an excuse for increased ex
pense, and that the increased expense is apt to
surpass the increase of income.
What an American Citizen is Born for.—
The ‘Memphis Avalanche’ accuses Don Piatt of
being an office hunter. The Don retorts, ‘Of course:
who ever heard of an American citizen who was
not an applicant for an office?’ An American
citizen is born to two things—to edit a paper and
hold an office. He has a proud consciousness of
being competent to do eitti ;r at a moment’s notice
Being already an e li'or does not prevent him from
accepting an office, and the Capital's caustic pro
prietor says he honestly believes if he were waked
up from his child like slumbers at midnight by
President Hayes, and tendered a nice place —a
diplomatic mission, for instance, with nothing to
do and a secretary to help do it—that he would
not be grievously offended; on the contrary, he
would thank the chief magistrate and express a
regret that he had no butter milk—the White
House civil-service reform beverage- handy to
pledge the high consideration and profound respect
moving his journalistic heart.
TIii‘ Yellow IVver Problem.—All
the physicans in the country are peering
through speculative or scientific spectacles at the
yellow fever mystery, and New Or eans through
her commissioners is hard at word trying to
discover the particular causes that operated to
produce the malignant scourge that has swept
.tway so many of her citizens. The chief cause
seems apparent enough. It lies, at their very
doors, in the wagon loads of feetid garbage from
the dumping yard that have been used to fill
up the holes, and elevate the streets in thickly
populated localities. Such garbage as it was I
Rotting vegetables, foul off.il, putrid cats and
dogs, all packed down together with a little
black, rank dirt —the product of decay. No
wonder as the evidence assert that the smell
was so horrible the citizens living near the fill,
ed up streets were forced to close doors and
windows through the sultry and suff’eating
Summer. Adjacent to the dumping yard it was
testified to be “awful.’’ The refuse removed
lett great holes that filled up with foul and fts*
tering water, and often there was as many as
thirty or forty dead dogs at a time putrifying on
the top of the “hill” of accumulated filth. Yet
the commissioners seem “doubtful whether this
state of things, had anything to do with the
j fever.” It seems absurd to doubt it, in the face,
j of the fact tuul tile oiLes*, whom a recent visita-
! tion of the Plague had frightened into cleanli'
ness, have been exempt from fever this year
notwithstanding the heat of the Summer. The
yellow fever may be a living germ, but it needs
certain conditions, chief of which is, foul air,
for i to thrive ant! propagate. Foul, moist air is
the powder rqagazine to which the fever germ
comes as the spark. Filth and heat propagate
the germs of other diseases in localities where
the moisture nesessary for yellow fever, is want
ing. “Disease is like cake” quaintly said an
eminent physician to us this Summer. “Give
you ladies certain ingredients in certain
quantities, and you make a certain kind of
cake. Add to, or subtract from these ingredi
ents, leave out all or a part of your eggs, butter
fruit, etc., and you have a cake, but of a differ
ent sort. Just so with Nemesis in making up
her wholesale poisons. In New Orleans, Mem*
phis, Grenada, etc., she had filth, heat, an-
moisture— all the ingredients for concocting
pride of her ghastly cuisine— her “gold cake”—
the yellow lever. Here in Atlanta, she had ad
the elements in plenty, but one—moisture; lack
ing that—Atlanta had no yellow fever. But iet
her health officers take warning; out of another
Summer’s heat and uncleanliness, Nemesis
may cook this upland city, as deadly a poison
as the fatal fever of the Southwest. *
Jli\s. Eleuld s Jlillinery and Fancy
(■ootts—‘What new shapes or styles in head
wear?’ask our subscribers from the country.
Had they been at Mrs. Heald’s last week, on
her Opening Day, they would have been abun-
daully satisfied. Yet, it wouid be difficult to
choose—so multiform and so pretty are the styles.
One can hardly decide between the hat and the
bonnet, though the latter is more fashionable
this winter. And charming they look, of the
becoming cottage shape,close fitting with slight
ly flaring brim, trimmed in tufts of exquisite
feathers, rich flowers and foliage, with gold and
silver gleams among it, or the always graceful
drooping plumes. Here are hats, too—innume
rable—a modification of the stylish Gainsboro,
the coquetish Langtry,the English walking-hat,
etc. Satin ribborns of the rich double-faced
styles, now worn altogether, are here of every
fashionable shade, together with exquisite ja
bots of lace and ribborn, veils, fichus, jewelry,
necklaces and bracelets of frosted silver and of
creamy, gold-in-laid celluloid. Every ornament,
every adjunct to a stylish and fashionable toilet
can be found in this lady’s well-stocked estab
lishment. *
In the Health Department of last week there
was a paragraph that was not brought under the
eye of the proof reader and consequently con
tained several errors—one of which is important.
In speaking of the diet of children after wean
ing, Doctor Wilson recommended among other
things arrow root. The astute printer set it op
union roast (rather a queer diet for children.)
He also advised a bland preparatory vegetable
diet, and it was rendered blond preposatory.
Stewed was made steamed, all in the same un
lucky paragraph which had accidentally never
been read in proof. There is one other mistake;
symptoms was put for eruptions.
Movements in Southern So-
A hng« crowd is looked for next week at the
Atlanta Fair. The railroads have greatly reduc
ed rates, and Col. Wrenn has spared no paiDS
or money to make the occa ion successlul.
Some fine stock will be exhibited; the races will
be exciting, the military display good and the
lGx bail full of fun and guyety. The Cadets
are also incubating upon the practicability of
giving a bail.
It is the season for elections, for free rides in
electioneering carriages, and free drinks,
furnished by ‘noble candidates’ to ‘our honored
constituents;’ will our southern women emulate
their sisters of Indiana who dispensed free
lunches, tea and ccff.-e on election day to keep
the voters from drinking liquor ?
Richmond is expecting a huge crowd at its
State Fair. The military feature will be
conspicuous; there will bo a mock battle
of the crack regiments; then, as an ele
ment of fun, there will a grotesque parade
of the Manchester Ragamuffins or Santa Anna’s
body guard. The address by Hon. A. W. Yoor-
hees and others will furnish the intellectual
treat and a grand ball will wind up the show.
Mrs. Marion Abrahams of Baltimore has kind
ly put on exhibition the beautiful statue, Veiled
Cupid, which she bought in Rome last Summer.
It is exhibited for the benefit of the Protestant
Orphan A ylntn, and the French Benevolent
Society. The Veiled Cupid is an exquisite-work
of art. The dimpled limbs and roguish face of
the little love-god show through the delicately
chisled tracery of the veil in a charmingly nat
ural manner.
The ‘Laurels,’ a Social Society in Baltimore,
inaugurated the season with a grand hop at
Spring’s Hotel, and are making arrangements
for a phantom sleighing party as soon as ‘beau
tiful snow’ condescends to show its hand.
On the It! Miss Valena Lamar of Macon was
married to E. H. McLaren of Dougherty Coun
try. The Muiberry Street M. E. Church was
gorgeously decorated. The bride was attired
in white velvet and satin dress, trimmed with
point lace. Miss Lamar was a general favorite
with the people of Macon, and her loss will be
felt in the fishionable circles of that gay city.
Central, S. C., on the 1»5. witnessed the nupti
als of the charming Miss Ellen Thrasher,
daughter of the popular cousin John. J. Thrash
er to W. H. Terry, connected with a leading
Baltimore House. The parlor was decorated
with rare taste by the fair hands of Miss Mamie
Potts of Atlanta. In letters of evergreen ap
peared the words ‘Fidelity, Love and Truth.’
The supper was gotten up in Cousin John’s un
approachable style. As a caterer he is not sur
passed by Delmonico. The happy couple left
that evening for Charleston their future home.
Miss Fannie Durham of Greenville, S. C.,
was married on the 10, and left in the evening
for Richmond, Ya.
Fair Week.
MR. JOHN T. FORD TO OCCUPY THE OPERA HOUSE
WITH A FIRST CLASS COMEDY COMPANY.
We are gratified in announcing that at last
Mr. DeGive has secured a first-class troup for

As stated last week The Sunny South
has keen made the organ of The Geor
gia Teachers Association and also of the
Public School Commissioner for this
State, and the attention of all teachers is
directed to the official announcements
on the sixth page. Prof. Bonnell, a
polished gentleman and experienced ed
ucator has been put in charge of tiiat
department by the Committee and he
will give it a rich and varied interest to
every teacher in the South. It is ex
pected that every teaehe- .a, take the
official organ immediately.
Any teacher can have the paper one
year for §2.50, or he can secure it free

not each one send in a club right away ?
To all our Prionds
tlxo Public G-cnorally.
The Wonderful Success and Brilliant Future of
Our Sunny South.
Ten thousand praises and the most
grateful acknowledgements are due to the
thousands of true-hearted Southerners
and good people everywhere, who have
stood by us and helped this enterprise
through the past four terrible year*.
Simultaneous with the debut ot the
Sunny South as is too well-known,
began the financial panic which has
reigned with sucVelentle-* tyranny over
the 5 entire nation, ami under whose with
ering rod so many thousands of enterprises
and old established institutions h.tve gone
down forever; but this paper continue»
to five and is just now starting upon a
I grander career than it has yet known.
And beginning as it did without money,
credit or resources and having tiium-
phantly surmounted the tens of thou
sands of difficulties which beset its way,
it now challenges the warmest sympathy
and most liberal patronage of all the
people. Its friends everywhere are ear
nestly entreated, now in the opening of
a promising business season, to give it a
hearty good jtush and introduce it. into
every family.
It will be improved in every depart
ment, and all the best talent ot our
Southland will be concentrated in its
columns.
We give below a partial list of those
who will contribute during the present
season, and no journal ever presented a
more brilliant array ot talent.
