SOCIETY GOSSIP.
STAGE DOTS.
** ,,i ** i "- Bee at (he Marklialn.-A
most unique entertainment was held at the
Markham House Tuesday evening under the
auspices of the F. & F Club of St. Philips
chnrch. This was a Quilting Bee which pre
sented the novel sight of a bevy of Atlanta’s lov-
liest and most elegant young ladies in the quaint,
J? 1C * j GS< l Ue costumes and powdered hair of ’7G,
seated, with thimbles upon taper fingers, around
a i quilt of calico whose bright colors and pretty
pattern would have enchanted the souls of their
great grandmothers. The sale of the quiit real
ized the handsome sum of $22 00, generously
paid for it by Mr. Clarence Knowles, who then
kindly gave it back to the society. The quilt
■was not the only attraction. The flower-table,
presided over by a Flora of beautiful face and
piquant costume with a numberof fair assistants
attracted much attention, and gentleman pat
rons covered themselves with boutonneires, lesB
valued lor the flowers’ sake than for the smiles
with which flair fingers pinned them on. A
number of distinguished visitors were present,
among them Bishop Beckwith, Mrs. Gov. Col
quitt, Mrs. Gordon, and quite a number of the
members of the Legislature. To Miss Kennedy,
the president of the F. & F. Club is due much
of the success of this charming entertainment.
Charlotte Thompson played Jane Eyre and
Miss Moulton in Atlanta this week to large au
diences, who appreciated the strong, natural
conception and sympathetic voice of this true
artiste.
Helen D’Este was much praised by the Au
gusta press for her good playing in A Celebrated
Case.
Savannah is not at all enthused by Miss Pome
roy’s new play, the Adirondack and calls on
the fair Louise to trot out something better or
go back to her old repertoire.
Modjeska’s pictures have a meek Madonna
look, and somehow convey the idea that her
rendering of such a part as Camille would be too
colorless. But let us suspend judgment until
she comes in that palace car, furnished especial
ly for her dainty limbs to recline in. Then we
shall see if it is Modjeska the actress, or Mod-
jeska, the rich and diamond decked countess of
Bozenta that the North delights to honor.
Miss Annie Cary has been performing recently
the part of Leonora, in ‘La Favorita,’to the mus
ical satisfaction of the Cincinnatians.
The twin actors, Messrs, Robson and Crane, will
appear on November 25, at the Park Theatre, as

Marriages multiply as the leaves fall. The
hay fever was nothing to the Hymenial fever
that has just set in.
The marriage of Miss Helen Wimberly to Mr.
Ed. Peters of Atlanta, sou of Mr, Bichard Peters,
the importer of fine stocks most notable from
the wealth and social position of the parties,
the numerous attendants and the splendor of
the dresses worn by the ladies of the bridal
party. The ceremony took place at Trinity
Methodist Church, on Tuesday, 29th inst, and
was performed by Bev. Mr. Foute. The space
around the church was filled with carriages and
a crowd of spectators filled the sanctuary. The
bride was dressed iu white satin, richly trimmed
with lace and made very much en train. Beau
tiful as she always is, she made a fadiant bride.
The groom wore full evening dress, the brides
maids, blue and white.
_ Mr. Albert Fowler of West Virginia was mar
ried Wednesday, 20th inst., to Miss Mary Bailey
of Griffin. The wedding was a very brilliant
one; the dresses were superb.
Mr. C. D, McKie and Miss Julia L, Hamp ton
of Athens, were married on the 18th inst., by
Dr. C. W. Lane.
If you are not married before Christmas, you
are not at all stylish or fashionable.
Miss Lula Pearson and Prof. Henry Connor
were married in Washington County on the 14th
inst., at the residence of the lady’s father, Col.
F. Pearson. Mr. Conner >s principal of the
High School in Macon, and Miss Lula is one of
Washington’s most beautiful, accomplished and
lovely daughters.
At the residence of the bride’s father, Mr,
Bobert Stephenson, in Griffin on the morning
of the 20th, by the Bev. W. J. Mitchell, Miss
Linda Stephenson to Mr. L. H. Beeves, of At
lanta. The happy couple left on the up train
for Atlanta, where they will make their future
home.
The most brilliant wedding of the season for
Columbus came off last Tuesday night, in the
Episcopal chnrch of that city. The contracting
parties were Mr. Robert Ober of Baltimore, and
Miss Rosa Woolfolk, the accomplished daughter
of Col, W. G. Woolfolk. Upon the conclusion
of the interesting ceremony, the bridal party
aud many accompanying friends repaired to the
residence of the bride’s parents where an ele
gant reception took place.
The Athens Banner contains eight marriage
notices—all in one group.
A gay tournament of knights upon Beech Is
land and a delightful ball to follow it, was the
programme in Augusta for the 22nd inst. Why
cannot Atlanta get ud a tournament in Oglethorpe
Park, to follow the Carver shooting next Friday.
The following marriage notices, crowded out
of our last issue,are inserted,although the honey
moon of the happy couples has passed its first
quarter.
Mr, L.C. Cheshire—a popular young business
man of Atlanta was married on the evening of the
5th inst. to Miss Lilia Petty,a lovely young lady
of the same city, the marriage taking place in
Trinity Methodist church, which was beautiful
ly decorated by fair hands for the occasion and
c-owded with spectators, although no invita
tions had been issued. The attendants were
Miss Annie Eddleman and Mr. Joe Gregg, Miss
Clara Cheshire and Mr. J.E. Armor, Miss Lizzie
Andrews and Mr. John Aldredge, Miss Dora
Kiser and Mr. C.D. Cheshire. Rev. Dr. A.G.
Haygood performed the ceremony with much
solemnity, and at its conclusion, the groom and
bride, who were in traveling costume, went for
a visit to Augusta taking with them the good
wishes of their many frieDds.
On Thursday as the Western and Atlantic
train steamed into Atlanta the fire bells rang
out with sudden sharpness and continued to
ring while several lire engines, hook and ladder,
trucks and hose reels dashed down to the depot
followed by a crowd of firemen and citizens.
‘Where is the fire ?' cried a number of voices,
but it was soon known that the demonstration
was in honor of the marriage of the Chief of
the City Fire Department, Mr. W. R. Joyner of
Atlanta to Miss Cleo Belle Seize of Marietta. The
ceremonv had taken place at the Presbyterian
church in Marietta in the presence of a crowd
of friends and well-wishers, amid the pealing
of the wedding march. The bride wore gray
silk, elegantly trimmed, the bridesmaids were
dressed also in dark-colored silks, while the
grooms and attendants wore full evening dress
After the ceremony, which was performed by
Rev. Mr. Butolph, there came a tasteful recep
tion at the home of Dr. Setze, the bride's father,
at which many handsome bridal presents were
exhibited.
At a recent court ball one of the fair queens
of society, wife of a foreign diplomatist, was the
object of Count Bismarck’s attentions, and many
observed that her beauty had produced a great
impression on the famous statesman. The count,
with that audacity of conquest which is his es
pecial characteristic, extended his hand to
pluck, without leave, a flower from the splen
did boquet which the lady carried. She rapped
his knuckles with her fan, saying—‘Pardon,
Monsieur le Comte, but that flower is not a Ger
man State. You must ask for it.’

and rather flouts the growing custom of confound
ing with dramatic art the play of flowing silk and

Madame Modjeska and the troupe engaged to
support her in her dramatic tour, which begins on
the 18th instant, will travel in a drawing-room car,
which the manager, Mr. H. J. Sargent, is having
specially fitted up for the purpose. Madame Mod
jeska will herself be provided with a parlor in the
centre of the car, and each member of the troupe
will be assigned a special seat, the manager res
erving to himself an office appropriately fitted up
for his uses. The name, Countess Bozenta, has
been lettered on the outside of the car, which will
be retained in use throughout the tour, a period
of six months.
Mr. Booth is unquestionably New York’s favor
ite actor. His genius is of that high order which
‘makes the whole world kin,’ and he accordingly
finds his admirers among all classes of society, re
presenting all grades of culture. His reception
at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, gave proof that Jlew
York has lost none of her admiration for the large
and exquisite culture of this actor, and still wears
him in her heart’s core. Ilis Hamlet, one of his
profoundest studies and most masterly creations,

let. These are generally esteemed his master

The Dean of Westminster, Chaplain of her
Majesty, the Queen of England, who has just set
out on his return voyage to England, was over
whelmed with honors and courtesies during his
visit o our American Metropolis. The various
sanctuaries threw open their doors to the most
famous churchman of the day and crowds came
to listen to his eloquent sermons. I heard him
at Trinity on All Saints Day. Christian Unity
was his theme. His text was from the 12ch chap
ter of the 1st Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians.
‘Many members, yet but one body.’ Remind
ing ns that this day of communion of all the
Saints of the universal church was peculiarly
fitting to consider the characteristics of the four
churches outside his own, the Greek, the Ro
man, the Lutheran, and Colonistic or Reformed
Church, he compared them to brothers. The
elder, stiff, dignified in his manners, refusiug
to take part in the lively sports to which the
younger brothers resort for recreation, and yet
looking on their amusements with calmness and
forbearance, this was the Greek Church. An
other brother was of a strong and vivid imagina
tion, active, determined ofttimes to have his own
way, yet imparting new grace, and force to ev
erything about him, the counterpart of his broth
er, the Latin or Roman Church, the religion of
the greater part of Italy, France, and Spain
Another is a youth full of energy, and ardent
desire for knowledge and instruction. He is of
warm temperament, genial in his manner, and
sympathetic in disposition, an advocate of all
that is new and true. His name is Martin Lu
ther. The remaining brother was full of energy,
genial disposition, always pushing forward,
stubborn and unyielding oftimes—a youth who
will never give up a point, and who will pre
vent anyone from lording it over others. He
was akin to Luther, yet not the same. Calvin
was indeed the father of the religion of Switzer
land and Holland and to him we owe much for
his martyrdom and zeal against tyranny.

ty and diversity, touching with one hand the
immovable Church of the East, and with the
other the changing Church of the West. Yet
each has his portion of work to perform and it
is impossible for us to dispense with any church.
At St. Pauls M. E. Church in the evening, he
was welcomed with a large attendance, and mag
nificent floral decorations—was clothed in the
dress peculiar to his high office in the Church,
and from his neck was hung the collar of the or
der of Bath, of which he is chaplain. He reads
attentively from his notes, making no gestures,
glancing up and dowu almost periodically. His
theme on this occasion was principally the
growth of Methodism and the noble works of
Wesley, to whom by his consent was erected the
memorial to Clarke and John We3ley in West
minster Abbey.
He preached on Sunday morning at Grane
Church, but it seems to be peculiarly fitting to
make old Trinity Church the first place of wel

with its old tombs the lives of those who fell for
American freedom. Among them may be fonnd
inscriptions which time has almost worn away.

SCAB IN SHEEP.
This skin disease is caused by a diminutive in
sect, a species of acari. which gains a lodgement
in the skin, where it multiplies until the surface
becomes irritated and covered with a scab. If
left alone, the wool will drop off, sometimes be
ing torn off by the sheep either by rubbing or
| with its teeth. Of course the animal cannot
thrive, and if not relieved in some way will grow
weaker and weaker until death carries it off.
The remedy is to remove all affected sheep
from the flock at once, and begin treatment.
Some simply dip the sheep into a strong decoc-
ion of tobacco, to which may be added a little
tnrpentine, ley or lime. Othar3 use an oint
ment of grease and sulphur, or grease and tur
pentine, applied and rubbed into the affected
parts. In making the tobacoo solution, do not
use more than a pound to three gallons of wa
ter—perhaps a pound to four gallons is better.
A safe and perfectly sure remedy for this
troublesome disease is ‘Miller’s Tick and Scab
Destroyer.’ One box will be enough to treat
twenty sheep, and as it cost3 but thirty-five
cents, is about as cheap as anything else.

Is salt good to mix with manure, and why is
it? asks a correspondent. It is beneficial in
small quantities. If it is dissolved in water
and sprinkled ov9r the manure heap, the vola
tile Darts of the ammonia will become fixed salts,
from their having united with the muriatic acid
of the common salt and the soda thus liberated
from the salt, will quickly absorb carbonic acid,
forming carbonate of soda; thus you will retain
with your manure the ammonia that would oth
erwise fiy away, and you have a new and impor
tant agent introduced, viz., the carbonate of
soda, which is a powerful solvent of all vegeta
ble fibre.

To my astonishment it i3 held by some farmers
who appear to be men of intelligence that when
hogs are penned for the purpose ot fattening, it
it be3t not to give them wa'er or fluid of any
kind as they will fatten foster without it. I am
inclined to think this must be a mistake, and
the idea could only be entertained through lack
of information on the subject. Hogs from my
observation, when they can get to it, use more
water than all otter domestic animals, lor the
information of all whom it may concern, please
answer through the columns of your paper,
whetbor it be true that they can do without wa
ter altogether, and whether when they are pen
ned for the purpose above mentioned, it is best
not to give them water.
Amicus Porco.
It depends npon the kind of food that is given
hogs whether they need water or not. If put
up in the winter and fed upon meal made up
tolerably soft, with occasional slops from the
kitohen*(which by the way will fatten hogs more
rapidly than any other feed we have seen used),
they will require no water; but if fed on corn I
alone,.they will need water, which should be J
as fresh and pure as possible, since, no matter
what may be said about hogs fattening ou filth,
it is certainly true that putrid and foul water
generates disease in hogs as well as in all other
animals.
Beautiful Homes.
We will have them now that women have un
dertaken to make them so. Now that women
are coming to take hold ofhousehold decoration
as an art, we shall have rooms that mean some
thing, for in no way can a woman express her
self more exquisitely than in her own home. It
is not the cost bat the artistic taste that deter
mines the atmosphere of a room.
On the walls darker tints than formerly are
now used. The Eistlake papers, of small de
signs are now the favorite ones, and their some
what sombre effect make3 a good background to
throw out the full beauty of the pictures. The
border and dado introduce only the same tint
repeated in a darker shade. The carpet should
be chosen about two-thirds the size of the room,
in a square, leaving a space to be completed by
the border, which should repeat the colors of
the carpet in deeper shades. No glare of colors
is seen, the most elegant being in moss shades,
as a ground of rich coffee brown with sprays of
fern and here and there a scarlet autumn leaf,
on a ground of]mos3 green, with sprays of gold
en-red and a touch of cardinal here and there.
Small, mixed patterns are chosen entirely.
A lovely effect in window hangings is pro
duced by enrtains made of the common ‘cheese
cloth’ muslin—the unbleached, creamy-tinted
cloth, that costs about six cents per yard. Be
ing so cheap, one can afford to have enough to
fall in heavy masses of drapery. Border it with
a stripe of cretonne or calico, harmonizing with
the wall paper and the carpet. Let it sweep
from cornice to floor. A pretty cornice can be
made from a strip of pine board, covered with
the cretonne.
Now, when a room is papered, curtained, and
carpeted, it is a good start toward being furnish
ed. Even if you have an upright piano, and
the low pretty open cases for books ou either
side of the grate, and a few brackets and one or
two good oil paintings and a few good engrav
ings, with some casts of the best statues—if one
has these and a dainty couch upholstered in
tiuts harmonious with th9 prevailing tone of the
room, a centre table and some chairs, the room
may be a marvel of beauty and social comfort at
a very moderate expense.
The outline needlework is very popular for
the ornamentation of table linen and chair and
sofa tidies. For table cloths the ends only are
embroidered, as any work iu the centre destroys
the effect of the glass, silver, and china placed
upon it. The napkins may have a narrow bor
der all around, with some elaborate designs, or
with initials in the corner. Monograms are
not now considered elegant. Chair and sofa
tidies are very lovely with a centre of the Japan
ese work, and border worked iu conventional
designs, which are merely designs in straight
lines.
Tho house of the woman of the period is made
beautiful and her own works praise her in the
gates. Lillian Whiting.
How can I restore tarnished silver ?
i If much stained, you will have to resort to
! polishing powders. You can buy the polishing
i rouge very cheaply. But if your silver is only
slightly tarnished, wash it well in hot water and
soda, dry with a soft cloth and rub with a piece
of clean chamois skin or soft unvarnished leath
er. This will not wear away the silver or the
plating.

A PROBLEM LONG SINCE SOLVED.
How to remedy those prolific causes of disease, an
impoverished circulation and an impaired diges-
| tion, was a problem the solution of which had often
bullied medical skill, but wbich was solved over a
quarter of a century ago by the introductian of
Hostett.er’s Stomach Bitters to public and profes
sional notice. Since that time, which may well be
said to have initiated a new epoch in the history of
medicine, the remedy and preventive referred to
lias obtained a foothold in the confidence of the
American people that each succeeding year has
only served to strengthen, rt is recognized through
out tlie Union as a tonic of the first order, a remedy
for and sure means of preventing fever and ague,
and disorders of the stomach and bowels; as a reli
able means of reforming a disordered state of tlie
liver, and of counteracting a tendency to rheuma
tism, gout, urinary and uterine disorders.
The PHysioligy of tile Liver.
The liver is the largest secreting organ in tho human
body, and the bile which it secretes is more liable to
vitiation and misdirection from its proper channels than
any other of the animal fluids. Luckily for the billions
however, there is an unfailing source of relief from com
plaint, namely, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a medicine
which ior over a quarter of a century has been achieving
thorough cures of the above mentioned ailments ,
and ague, dyspepsia, bowel complaints, rheum itic and
kidney affections, and disorders involving lossof nervous
vigor. It is, moreover, a preventive of malarial disease,
and affords protection to thousands of parsons residing
in districts of country where that dire scourge is preva
lent. As a remedy adapted to the medicinal requirement
of families, it is supremely desirable, and as a means of
fortifying a debilitated system, it is thoroughly to be de
pended upon.
LIFE REALIZED.
“Life is earnest, life is real,” ami tlie hopes that
cheer us, as well as the duties that we bravely en
counter, stimulate us to guard tlie treasure with
unceasing vigilance. Therefore vigorous health
should be preserved, and as diseases arising from

An Astonishing Fact.
A large proportion of the American people are to-day
dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver.
