The pos ^al treaty between the United States and Mexico having been signed by the Presi dent, went into effect on July 1st. Under its provisions the rates for all mailable-matter are the same as all domestic rates in the United Mates. Atlanta Qlass Works Burned. On June 21U, the glass works, just finished and ready to start, were destroyed by fire. Being in the extreme limits of the city, and of combustible material, they were in ashes be fore the firemen could get there. The loss was about $40,000, insurance $20,000. The plat will be rebuilt at once, and ready for work by the first of September. An Old Coin, and Rare. The Brunswick Adccrtiser and Appeal has been shown a coin by Master George Cook about the size of a dollar, an heir loom in the family for many years back. < >n one tide is a crown and this inscription: “Sit No men Djih- iri B. Benedictum, 1727.” On the other a head with this inscription “Ludav I). G. Fr. et Nav. Bex.” The letter B in the above in scription is made backwards. Arkansas State Fair. A meeting of citizens has been held at Little Bock, at which it was decided to have an ex position in that city to display the products of Arkansas. It is proposed to open October 1st, and close November 1covering a period of six weeks. This is an important s.ep, and in the right direction, and there should be no in termission in the effort until it is assured. Its value to the city and State cannot be over-es timated. Alabama Triumphant. St. John’s Day, June 24th, was celebrated at Louisville, Ky., by a competitive Inter State drill. The Montgomery Ureys won the lirst prize, $2,000; the Louisville Light Infantry, the second prize, $1,000; and the Montgomery Blues, the third prize, $700. Private Bob Shaw, of the Ureys, won the prize for the best drilled private—a large, line, gold medal. It will be recollected that a Mobile company bore off the highest prize at Washington City; so these make four prizes won at two Inter-State drills by Alabama, and place her in the front as having the best drilled volunteer soldiers in the Union. FLORIDA. FLORIDA. (Irlando has live large brick buildings in process of erection that will cost, when completed, about $00,000. Surgeon-Gen e r a 1 Hamilton, who has j ist returned to Washington, ex presses the belief that ail proper steps have been taken to check the yellow fe ver epidemic at Key West, and that a further spread has been well guarded against. I. B. Wetherington, of Tampa, boasts of a muskmelon grown on his place, near Six Mile creek, which measures 2 feet 7 inches in cir cumference and weighs 21 1 2 pounds. The prospects of the orange crop for Colum bia county are flattering. The Lake Legion, published at Eustis, thus justly compliments the “rural editors:” “To the ‘rural editors’ of Florida is due the mag nificent prosperity and wonderful growth of the State. Men of brains and push and ener gy, they labor in season and out of season, many of them for a mere pittarce, receiving often curses instead of thanks, and yet stick ing to their duty and fulfilling it with a power that, used in some other direction, would bring them wealth and a greater measure of success. All honor to the ‘rural editors." ” The severe wind of June 12 blew off a good deal of tbe pear crop in Columbia county. The oat crop of Columbia county has yielded very well. Henry Landers, of Clay county, has grown sugar corn o i his place this year that equals field com in siz.*, and yet it is as sweet as its name implies. Oranges in Clay county will be put to the test should the rains much longer continue, owing to the rush of the sap in the trees and the likelihood of the young fruit bursting their jackets in the vain endeavor to grow fast. The large crops of peas, the largest corn crop since the war, have enabled many of Columbia county’s fanners to make good their losses on cottoo and prevented them from going in debt. A stref t car company is being organized at Palalka to construct a line of road, beginning about where the proposed union depot will be and running down Water street to Lemon and out Lemon to the grant line. The money is in sight to build this line, and will be available just as soon as a charter is granted, which has been applied for. The l’alatka bridge question has been defi nitely settled, that is so far as the termini part of it is concerned, and is as follows: The Eastern end will start from a point 200 yards North of Hart’s grove and come directly across the river to a point just North of the present dock of the Jacksonville, Tampa & Key West railway. The bridge will have a draw of 2oO ftet, with a passage on either side of the draw pier of eighty and ninety f set, which wi.l be ample room for the largest steamers to pass through. There will be a wagon dri /e of seven fett on either side of the bridge. ^ARKANSAS. ALABAMA. Alabama’s Almost Irreparable Loss. (hi Friday morning, .June 24, the Alabama Polytechnic School, at Auburn, caught fire, and tiie natural history museum, containing thousands of specimens collected by Professors Darby, Stubbs and Mell during the past thirty years, were yielded untouched to the merciless flames Even money cannot restore to the world the numerous and truly wonderful spec imens. All the other splendidly equipped de partments were likewise destroyed, including the records, instruments, etc., of the weather service bureau. But particularly is this une qualed department of Prof. Mell’s to be re gretted by all who have before had the pleasure of seeing it. Tne amount of insurance was $ JO,000, al though $120,oou would hardly replace the build ing with all of its appliances; yet with the $00,- ooo now at the disposal of the board of trustees, we hope to have a building ready, with the aid of Langdon llall, to accommodate all the young men who come next September.

The legislatures of 1 SKI and 1884 appointed a commissione r to superintend the removal of the body from Florence, Italy, to this state, and this was done nearly a year ago. The remains have in the meantime rested in a vault in the cemetery, awaiting a suitable occasion for their liual in terment. The dead sculptor’s “Triumph of Chastity” is in the courthouse at Lexington, Ky., and his statue of Henry Clay is in the court-Iiouse rotunda. ARKANSAS. Gov. llugbee has paid his pro rata amount of the Chur chill defalca t i o n, nearly $3,000, which was the last payment to be made by the’ sureties, in accord ance with the liud- ing of the Supreme Court.

Chat With the Children NO 4 —11Y MI OA HETNI K. I promised a tale did I? Well to begin:— Tnere was once a man who had followed an honest trade all his life. The proud' world might have considered R a low profession, but he began to work at it when a little boy in order to earn an honest livelihood and as he found it made his bread and clothes and other necessaries, he continued diligently at hia bus iness, using his leisure in storing his mind with useful knowledge. Through many trials, disappointments and hardships he passed. His three ssore years and ten were almost gone and he was a lone man with no relations ex cept two nephews whom he had never seen. By a life devoted to his “low” business and by economy and self-sacrifice he had amassed a fortune. He felt that death was drawing near. “What shall I do with my hard earned mon ey?” he asked himself. He thought of his nephews. Now, he knew what a life of toil he had spent and he did not wish to leave his for tune to those who would not appreciate it so he thought he would visit his nephews as a stranger and see which was most worthy of the gift. He. therefore, went to see one then the other in his true character, but under an assumed name. lie went lirst to Philip’s house. Philip was a ruan of wealth and show. The old man went in and asked to spend the night. He was admitted and invited to sit with the family in the sitting room. Not a book did he see. ’Flic room was showily fur nished, but no taste whatever was displayed. Philip talked of money and money getting; his wife and daughters of dress and show. " He, the old man, tried to introduce eh vated topics, but lie found no appreciation. The children had read nothing and the parents could not understand him. < )n retiring, -be was conduct ed out into the yard to an out house, poorly furnished. The servant who escorted him to his lodgings said: “This is where you is to sleep, Mr., long as you,ain’t qualify, but w< puts line company in toe big room.” “Aha,” the old man said to himself, “I’ll see who gets my money.” Next, he went to Andrew’s house which was in another state. This was a less showy residence, but all the surroundings bespoke taste and refinement. He was invited into a neat family sitting room opening into a pretty little parlor where there were musical instruments, books, fl jwers, drawings and paintings. Soon Andrew perceive4 the supe rior intelligence of his aged guest and he and his family listened attentively aod with appre ciation to his conversation. On retiring, he was conducted by Andrew himself to the best apartment and every necessary and comfort was provided for his night’s repose. The old man was pleased with Andrew-, but grieved with Philip. “1 will go agaui to Philip’s,” he said “and try him again.” He accordingly dressed himself in cosily clothes, had his white hair dyed, and in an elegant carriage was driven to Philip's and passed oil as a man in high jKisition. Such a difference! Too much could not be done for him. Again he went to Andrew’s. Although Ins pomp and splendor somewhat awed the modest country family, yet the same gentle courtesy without any ex tra airs were extended as had been to the old, white haired laborer. He went away and again visited Andrew as at first and there spent his last day8 in peace, and after hit* death his will left all hiH property to Andrew. What a lovely afternoon this U! Everything ljoks so bright and cheerful that I feel just like calling on Aunt Judy and the cousins. But with cautious steps I must proceed, for this is my lirst visit, and I am not certain as to whether I’ll bj welcomed. Oh! here I am right in their midst, timid lit tle creature that 1 am! But here comes dear Aunt Judy w ith a smile of welcome. Many thanks for your kind greeting and the honor of joining your happy band. I have for some time contemplated this visit, but feared to at tempt it lest I should not gain admittance. Isn’t that South who offers me this nice rocker? Thanks; certainly 1M accept it.

Dear Cousins: “The day is long and dark and dreiry, It rains and the wind is never weary.” The rain has been pouring in torrents all day to-dav, and you know how badly rainy weath er affects any one. Have had the worst case of the “blues” all day. I felt like it would cheer me to be with dear Aunt Judy and the dear cousins for an hour. I have written once bef ire but my letter reached the waste-basket. I hope to have better luck this time. 1 know you can’t have the heart to turn me out in the cold rain. Patsy Lee, I enjoyed your letters. Come again. I admire Ronnie Sweet Bessie’s style of writing so much, ami hope we will have the pleasure of hearing from her again soon Grey Eyes, what has become of you? We miss you and your nice letters so much. Jacquelina, I am in love with you, if such a thing can exist between girls: I believe it can. I am of medium height, and almost 17 years of age. with light hair and hazel eyes, and a Licit l ig heart Hop Hi: the cousins will not consider me too gloomy, but extend their sympathy. I bid a loving adieu. Grace Daki.inu. Dear Aunt Judy: 1 wrote a few lines to the L. B. some time since, and nave been patiently waiting for some one togive me a word of wei- pome; but, alas! week after week I am doomed to disappointment. Aunt Judy very kindly admitted me, though without a word of wel come, or so much as even a * mile. I am going to come again, however. It is nice to be even admitted into such a cheerful and charming department; nice, too, to be allowed the priv ilege of sitting in one corner, watching Bashful Bill and Bonnie Sweet Bessie making eyes over Aunt Judy’s turkey-wing. Now, dear Aunt Judy, 1 wouldn't allow that. Bed Head, you are charming; just my style. I, too, have just returned from a long visit and haven’t seen a single copy of the dear old S. S. since I left; have been looking over them this eve, and read your kind words in regard to myself. Many, many thanks; they were very highly appreciated, for 1 tell you (and I guess you know how it is yourself), a red-headed, freek’ed-fact d young lady doesn’t receive maoy kind words or compliments, unless it is in regard to their disposition—sweet and am iable, of course.
