ATLANTA, GEORGIA, May 3,1879.
ATLANTA CONDENSED.
Johnson, the bill-poster, is a live fellow.
Have you had a good laugh recently ? If not, see
Judge Lochrane about his “eagle eye” or bis friend
“fresh from Hades.”
You cannot help it. Young women will get mar
ried in spite of locks and muskets. It is the Bain
of their lives. Ask Miss Lucy if it is not so.
The portrait of Col. Bob Alston which appeared
in this paper elicited general comment because o
its correctness. It was indeed an excellent likeness
Send your orders for all kinds of printing to Ben
nett & Wells, 24 Broad Str. They are not on y
tasty and experienced printers, but exceeding }
clever and excellent gentlemen.
Peachtree is now one of the very handsoimst
streets in the world. From the elegant residences
of J. H. Janies and R. F. Maddox to those of Col.
Jno. T. and Capt. Willie Grant, the shade trees, side
walks and residences are love y and elegant. We
shall present some views along this street, and of
other beautiful streets in this city.
The whole nation is watching with interest the
progress of the trial of Edward Cox for the killing
of Col. Alston. No case in any State for many
yeais has attracted so much attention.
The Young Men's Library is still the favorite in
stitution of the city.;
It is pleasant to see Col. John Flynn, the General
Superintendent of the State Road shops riding in
his nice pheaton to his work, early in the morning.
There is some style about that.
Judge Geo. Hillyer, the youngest Judge in the
State, is making a most enviable reputation for
himself on the bench. He is clear-headed, earnest
and conscientious in the discharge of his duties and
wins the respect and admiration of all who witness
his administration of the laws.
When Wilhelmj was in Atlanta he tried very
hard to purchase Prof. Schultze’s elegant violin.
He offeied $400.00 for it, but the Professor would
not sell.
The Macon Minstrels give just as good a show as
any burnt-cork company in the land. Good for
Bridges Smith and his excellent Company.
Drop in to see Geo. Johnson’s animal show, get
your fortune told, and knock over his figure heads.
You should see George knock ’em through the
countsr.
Ladies should not forget that, time to them is less
valuable than to business men. While the woman
stands and stands and talks, the poor fellow who
has business is as nervous as an electric machine,
though too refined to show it.
Do you like good wines ? California wines ? Think
of California sherry, bright and sparkling. On
Broad Street you find Ford's wine rooms, where he
sells it only by the quantity, and yougett something
that is beautiful and good. You fin*Charley a
polite and gentlemanly little fellow, reedy to wait
on you. They are constantly receiving all kinds of
the best wines direct from California.
Nearly everybody you see has eH a, hat from
Lewis Clarke’s hat emporium. He is iheV'O rst fel
low in the world at supplying the people with hand
some hats. He will have ’em, and the people can’t
help buying them.
Mr. J. W. Sparks, a well known butcher in this
city, was killed on Thursday last by his son-in-law,
Drewry Tye. It seems there had been bad feeling
between them for some time, but on the day of the
killing they got into a quarrel about a butcher pen,
and it is said that Sparks rushed on Tye with a
butcher knife and was shot by the latter in self"
defense.
We are pleased to know that Mr. and Mrs. Peck are
< xpected home in a few days and that the Madame’s
wounds were not serious. All her numerous friends
congratulate her upon her narrow but successful
escape from serious injury. She and the jolly Prof.
William Henry, with their charming daugters, are
altogther indispensable to our Atlanta society.
We call attention to the following concerning the
National Surgical Institute, Atlanta. Ga.,
taken from the “Atlanta Constitution”:
“The National Surgical Institute is the largest and
most prosperous medical institution in the world.
It has no quack methods; it employs no secret nos
trums • it makes no empiric claims. It simply
holds that it is enabled through its aggregation of
machinery, braces, instruments, gymnasium, &c,,
to give better treatment of chronic diseases than
can be anywhere else.” * * *
We congratulate our friend and distinguished fel
low-citizen Col. W. L. Scruggs upon his appoint
ment as United States Minister to China. He is
eminently qualified to represent the government at
any foreign port, for he is a gentleman of rare cul
ture and of sound conservative ideas upon all mat
ters of public importance. We shall regret the loss
of the Colonel and his most amiable family from
our midst. But probably he will not take his family
with him for the present.
The Atlanta Post Office is rapidly becoming the
largest institution of the kind in the South, and it
is in admirable hands. Gov. Conley is a well-
balanced gentleman, overflowing with the milk of
human kindness and obliging at all times. His
Ass’t P. M., Joe Nalls, Esq., has no superior as a
money order clerk and is a splendid fellow at all
times and “of infinite jest.” Lewis Seldner, of
the registry and foreign brogue department, al
though he carries a face as solemn as a burial squad,
is genial and obliging, and when unnecessarily in
terrupted by his associates remarks very socially
as follows, to-wit: “In the first place, I did not
speak to you; in the second place, it is none of your
business; and in the third place, goto h .” Wal
lace Rhodes, as mailing clerk, has no equal. He
fills the bill to perfection, and is one of the best fel
lows in the world, but is settled in his wicked con
viction that no newspaper man should ever owe the
government a cent through his department. He
gets the last red. We find him a “hard Rhode to
travel.” Frank Mills, distributing clerk, is the
same jovial fellow, and fills the same position with
the same ability that he has done for 1500 years and
is still young, and will do an immense deal of grind
ing yet before he breaks down. B. A. Stout is still
the model delivery clerk. Charley Fuller always
has the “stamps.” and Tommy Lester, assistant
mailing clerk, can hit the open mouth of a mailing
bag with a mail package every pop at any distance.
All the carriers are efficient and obliging men, and
the cleverest of the “Nation’s wards” is black
Amoss, the maid of all work, and general collector
of balances due from publishers.
Last year nearly $300,000 were sent from this
offee to New York; nearly 40,000 money orders
were paid, and nearly 3,000,000 letters and postal
cards mailed. A big thing. A huge thing.
THIS INFERNAL BEEF ! ‘ BUT WE LL FIGHT IT OUT ON T. IS LINE IF IT TAKES ALL SUMMER* ”
Natural History—The Baby.
“W’hat ar.imal is this ?”
“This is a baby. He is now about three years old,
and at the wickedesi point of bis eaithly career.”
“What countries does the baby most inhabit ?
“ He can be found in every country on the globe,
the same as mosquitoes und boils.”
“Can they be tamed ?”
“Yes, quite easily. After a little judicious dis
cipline they cease to struggle, and become subser
vient to the will of man.”
“Does the baby eat grass ?”
“Yes, or anything else. They swallow pocket-
knives, thimbles, bultons. spools or any other object
a little smaller than a teacup. If offered milk the}
seldom refuse it.”
“Do they grrze during the day, or only at night t
"They are alwavs grazing, paying not the leas
teed to the hour. 'When not actually eating they
generally give utterance to a peculiar cry. Strong
men often jump out of bed at midnight in the cold
est weather when hearing this cry.”
“What meaning is attached to this cry l
“Men of deepest thought have agreed that it sig
nifies to wake up the neighborhood and have some
fU “Of what benefit to mankind is a domesticated
ba “They are of no earthly account for the first few
years, but by and by they can slide down hill on u
cellar door and carry articles out of the house and
trade them for a wooden sword or loose them in the
nr| USS.**
“Do you know of any instances where the baby
has attacked the household and killed or injured
anyone ?” ,
“Such instances have been related by such enn
nent naturalists as George Francis Train and Texas
Jack, but we don’t put much faith in them. How
ever, if the baby was maliciously and persistently
provoked there is no telling what it might do.
“No. On the contrary, no druggist could make
enough profit in a year to buy him a pair of Arctic
overshoes but for the presence of the baby in every
household. There is hardly an hour m the day that
the baby does not demand peppermint, paragonc,
milk, sugar, cordial, cod liver emulsion, ipecac, or
something else costing money.”
What machinery is made use of to compel the
baby to take a dose of castor oil ?”
“There are several patent machines for the pur
pose, but most people follow the old rule of knock
ing him senseless and getting the dose into his mouth
before he recovers. ”
“Is the bald-headed baby more domestic than
othei. !"
“Not a bit. He kicks around after the same
fashion, and has even a worse time fighting flies
and mosquitoes.”
“What music do they seem to prefer ?”
“A base drum is their first choice, but they have
a heavy leaning towards the sound of the stove-
handle knocking the nose off the pitcher with the
emptyings in it. Thisis all about the baby. Take
another look at him, for next week we shall write
of some other reptile.
GEMS OF THOUGHT.
To be angry is to revenge the faults of others up
on ourselves.
When you have attained power and wealth, be
ware of insolence, pride and oppression.
Our chief w ant in life—is it not somebody who
can make us do what we can?
Be deaf to the quarrelsome, blind to the scomer,
and dumb to those w ho are mischievously inquisi
tive.
We are prone to dwell upon our wants and forget
our possessions, upon our trials and forget our
mercies.
Never communicate that which may prejudice
your concers when discovered, and not benefit your
friend when he knows it.
You had better learn wisdom and prudence by
the mishaps of your neighbors than wait to learn
them from your own.
A golden rule for a young lady, is to converse
always with your female friends as if a gentleman
were of the party, and with young men as if your
female companions were pi esent.
If you are backbitten and annoyed, take ex
ample by your boots, which, although blackened
almost every day, shine the more brightly, and
which endure every rub without a murmur.
There is no fortune so good but that it may be re
versed, and none so bad but it may be bettered.
The sun that rises in clouds may set in splendor,
and that which rises in splendor may set in gloom.
Make friends of none in whom you have not im
plicit confidence—whom you cannot trust in all
places, and at all seasons. The best friendship you
can make is that which is based on those feelings
which spring from the observance of sacred truth.

Answers to Correspondents.
Sam Smith, of Covington, Ga.. says: “There is one
question I wish to ask you, and will be under many ob
ligations if you will answer it. If you had known a
young lady all your life, had been intimate friends, and
bad been engaged to her for two years, and couldn t get
to see her but once or twice a month, would you ask ner
to kiss vou ? I am engaged to a lady in tins way. I see
her but once or twice a month, and when I meet her she
seems to want me to kiss her, but I don t know
whether I ought to ask it of her or not. She is very mod
est and affectionate, and I expect to marry her m a jear
or two, but have never kissed her.” .
Under the circumstances, we see no harm in asking
her, in a frank, manly way, to kiss you—especially since
she seems “to want you to.” It is not at all as if jou
were a gay Lothario, to whom the kiss would be an idle
boon, lightly prized and perhaps lightly spoken of. You
have a real regard for the young lady and the good-bye
kiss would have a deeper significance. It is the spirit in
which the thing is done that usually determines whether
it is right or wrong.
Hannah Moses, Mobile, says: "Enclosed are some
lines suggested by your explanation some weeks back of
the engagement bracelet:
A bracelet unlocked.
Dear Madam:—Your letter I’ve just received,
And, in spite of your scattered comments,
Allow me to say I’m much relieved.
Did you think that your golden ringlets,
Complexion and soft blue eyes,
Was the spell that bound me to you ?
I wondered in mute surprise.
There are women with fairer faces,
More graceful forms, I ween.
Who carry themselves far grander,
Than you, imperious Queen !
’Twas not your beauty that drew me
To wish that your heart was mine;
I thought in those orbs was shining
The light of a soul divine.
Your prudence I’ll ever admire,
You have been more thau kind,
Never was truer saying
Thau, “the little God, Love, is blind.”
But, Ma Belle, were I you, in the future
(You see I know how to advise,)
I’d conceal the true worship of money,
With other than gossamer lies.
You need not return me the bracelet—
As gold is the key to your heart—
Perhaps the accompanying enclosure
Will assist in unlocking a part.
No foolish tears will be shed then,
O’er the jewel you justly prize,
Better to lose my diamonds,
Thun dim those beautiful eyes.
Since we’ve settled the delicate matter,
Perhaps it would be ns well
To close this comforting letter,
With that often used phrase, farewell.

J. E. Tribple asks: “Is it correct, in telling one person j
what you have heard he said about you, or what a third
party has said about him to use the phrase "should have 1
said,” as for instance : “I have heard that you should;
have said I was a spendthrift V” !
It is not correct. Use the indicative mood: I have*
heard that you said I was a spendthrift. Should implies j
an obligation to say that you were a spendthrift.
Miss S. J. Bartow, of Calvert, Texas, says: “I have al- |
ways thought that the editors of the Sunny South were 1
Southern; ami right? I have had quite an argument
on that point. I like your paper and expect to subscribe
for it as long as I live.
The editors of the Sunny South are wholly Southern—
bom and reared in the extreme South. Mrs. Bryan is a
Floridian,who has lived much in Georgia and Louisiana,
but has never been North. Her father and husband were
both slave-holders and are still farmers. Col. Seals is a
Georgian and the son of a planter. Thanks for your en
couraging words.
Edgar Me., of Lily rond, Gn., says: "I Kjr.c a yomiuf
mare that 1 think swift. Under harness, she can make
a single mile, on our country roads, in three minutes. I
drove her from A. to L. P.—a distance of five miles—in
just twenty. Is not that pretty good ? And do you not
think, by proper handling, she could be made fit for the
track? She can run a single mile in two minutes. Is
that fast, or n«t? She is only five years oPl a yd lias
never had-any training. > * *
It is pretty fast, and beats the early record of some
noted racers. By proper training and handling, your
mare may be made valuable on the track. Don’t let a
variety of persons have the handling of her.
“Will you answer an old subscriber, through the Sunny
South, and tell him what has become of the 'Old Tabby
House,’ also of the 'Wandering Boys, or, the Adven
tures of Bold Ben and Timid Tom.’” II.
The "Wandering Boys” is continued in our young
folk’s paper, the Boys and Girls of the South. We only in
serted a chapter or two in the Sumiy South by way of cal"
ling the attention of subscribers to the popular little
paper in which it was running. The “Old Tabby House”
was never finished, as had been promised by the distin
guished author, Dr. Harrison, D. D., who accepted the
office of Chaplain to Congress and went to Washington!
leaving the "Old Tabby House” in the lurch.
“Clarence,” Franklin, Tenn., asks: “Would it be
considered “manrais gout” at a private marriage for the
bride and bride’s maids to carry a boquet in the hand ?
You know it is generally thought to be the proper thing,
when the ceremony is performed at church.”
It would not be inappropriate. Flowers are used pro
fusely now-a-days, both on "full dress” and ordinary oc
casions. And at a .marriage, one can hardly have too
many flowers. Large, elaborate boquets would, how
ever, look out of place at at a[quiet home wedding.
A club of subscribers from Texakana write there is
quite a controversy there as to which was the first novel
written by Augusta Evans 'Wilson ; also, which is her
best work. Her first book was “Inez”—a story of the
Alamo. It created very little interest, and it was not
until her next book, “Beulah,” was published that she
made any reputation. Many think Beulah her best work;
it is certainly the most original, as the characters in her
after books have been mostly modified reproductions of
those in Beulah. We think Macaria is her best work. It
is less overloaded with rhetoric, less artificial, and its de
scriptions and incidents have a more real and fresh flavor.
Merle, of Franklin, Tenn., asks: “Will you tell me what
is the meaning of the expression, “Survival of the fittest,”
that we hear so often now? I have long wanted to know.”
Survival of the fittest is a term connected with the Ev
olution theory first advanced by Darwin and since ex
panded by the researches and speculations of Huxley,
Tyndal and others. These scientists, tracing the mani
festations of the life-principal from primitive protoplastic
jelly up to man, attempt to show us how species origi
nated and how higher forms of life were evolved from
lower ones. In the constant struggle for existence against
hunger and cold, and against the fierce beaks or teeth and
claws of other animals, it was only the strongest and
most sagacious animal that could survive any length of
time. Such an one was “fittest” for developing a
high organization of brain and body, iginating a new
and finer species of animal. The theory is too abstruse
to be briefly stated, and no more than an idea of the or
igin of the phrase “Survival of the fittest” can be given
here. It was to the survival of some fine old ape, shrewd
er and more sinewy than his fellows, that we owe the or
igin of the human species—according to the scientists.
The idea expressed in the term “Survival of the fittest”
has been carried very far by some crazy extremists.
These would do away with all attempts on the part of
humanitarians to take care of and benefit the sick, the
deformed, and diseased. We have heard one of them de
clare that all children bom deformed or puny, or of
weak intellect, ought to be “suppressed” in infancy, so
that only the fittest should survive and then we would
have a perfect race.
W. X. Y. Z., of Clear Water, says: “If a lady, at her
marriage, or a very short time before, receives from her
parents a certain sum of money, says $1,000, which her
husband makes use of in improving his property, and
she, after atrial of many years, is compelled at last to
leave him from ill-treatment, viz, brutal abuse : can she
force or make him by law give her back what he has
spent of lier’s, supposing he has ample means to do so?
I have heard that the law on this subject is different in
the different States. Please tell me what the laws of
Georgia and F'lorida give a woman in such a case as I
have stated above.”
The law of Georgia requires the husband to refund the
money to the wife under the circumstances named. We
do not know the Florida law on the subject, but it would
seem that the sense of justice, if not the gallantry of any
jury, would lead them to render a verdict for the lady.
“Farmer,” of McDuffie county, Ga., says: “I wish to
order some medicines for family use; please give me the
address of a reliable druggist in your city.”
We know of none more reliable, careful and obliging,
and better capable of supplying yon with fresh and good
drugs, and other articles in his line, than Dr. T. R. Holt,
at number 26 Whitehall street, Atlanta. He also keeps
excellent perfumes, and extracts, and manufactures a de
lightful cologne.
The young ladies of Hamilton Literary Society, at An
drew Female College write to say that we are “unai.i.
mously” elected to represent them at their Commence
ment on the 16th June, and add with a heartiness for
which we feel sincerely obliged, “We beg you most pres-
singly to accept the compliment.” It is a compliment,
indeed, young ladies—one we must accept, though the
printer corps of the Sunny South yell “copy” after us, as
we fly. You do well to name your society after your
noble President, who is, as he was in other days, the life
and soul of Old Andrew.
Aekworth, of Greenville, S. C., wishes to know whence
comes the phrase, “Which could divide a hair betwixt
its south and southeast side.” It occurs in the old hu
morous poem Hudibras, written by Butler.
