5 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 the two Dromios of Shakespeare’s ‘Comedy of Errors.’ 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.’ >ry heavy gilt braid is used to trim many of new winter bonnets.

Fields is giving n of leetures at the Hawthorne Rooms, in Lotta, known off the boards as Miss Crabtree, delights in wearing every evening a dress designed by her maid, which cost just §12 80. Lotta has more faith in personal charms and the vivacity of genius than in the sparkle of jewel-bedecked robes, and rather flouts the growing custom of confound ing with dramatic art the play of flowing silk and sheeny satin. 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, is too well known to need fresh comment. It is a princely role with which the public have somehow learned to identify the personality of the per former. His logo, however, ranks with his Ham let. These are generally esteemed his master pieces. New York Dots. All Saints Day in Gotham. The ‘Pour Broth ers’—Dean Stanley’s Comparison—etc. 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. The English Church, understanding this uni 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 come to the English stranger—bringing to mind 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. We remember one, however, which will read strangely to young American eyes: Here lyef y’ body of Jane Smyth (F for S) who dyed June 8th, 1700.

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.

The talk turned on Max Strakosch’s new baby. ‘He’s got a tooth,’ said a gentleman sitting at one end of tho table. ■ Max is very proud of his baby,’ said Miss Kellogg, who was sitting at the other end. ‘Yes,'said the gentleman, still carrying our his own train of thought, ‘ and he’s got two more coming.’ Miss Kellogg shrieked and dropped her nap kin and her knife and fork, while the gentleman still further enlivened matters by insisting that his reference was solely to the teeth.—Cincinnati Times.

What varieties of apples are best for market ? Size and beauty are the qualities needed for the sale of apples.

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. Those in search of a paying Agency of any kind should correspond with our friend Theo.

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 torpid liver prevail in our warm ciimate. we rec ommend for their cure Portaline, or fabler’s Vege table Liver Powder, tlie best remedy in tlie world for dyspepsia, constipation, sour stomach, heart burn, and billiousness.
