THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 8, 1887,
stands various whistles and calls, appearing
and disappearing at the word of command.
These bugs aie enhanced in beauty if ex
posed to gas or electric light, and consequently
are the more likely to become fashionable for
evening wear. Ladies dressed for the opera
or ballroom can fasten them at the waist and
let the bogs wander over their white shoulders
and necks. The comparison of the brilliant
ever-changing colors against the soft, warm
flesh tints is said to be perfectly irresistible.
Thus brought in close contact with the wearer
they soon partake of the individuality and dis
positions of their owners.
With the rarity of the large bug comes the
unsatiated desire to excel in “one’s bug,” as is
the case with diamonds It will therefore not
be long before we shall see stealthly glances
cast in the dance at our opposite’s bug, or the
envious comparison of bugs in quiet corners.
The fortune-hunter w 11 “size up” the debu
tante, not by the size of her diamonds, but by
the size of her bug. The educated j aweled bug
will supply a long-felt want.

riage of Captain John l’ostell, vice-president
and general manager of the East and West

The engagement of Senator Hawley and
Miss Edith Horner, now of Philadelphia, and
recently of England, has been announced and
will attracts unusual interest and widespread
congratulation. Miss Horner has been for the
past four years an associate and assistant of
Miss Fisher in the management and direction
of a corps of nurses at the Biockley alms
house. Miss Horner began her most success
ful labors here after a careful training in Eng
land, and practical experience in the care of
the sick and wounded during the Zulu and
Egyptian wars. She spent the summer on a
visit to her family place in one of the counties
near London, and General Hawley’s acquain
tance with her was on the beginning of the
outward voyage and was continued during
their stay in England and ended in the engage
ment announced to day. Both returned to
this country on the same steamer.

Among the debutantes of the coming season,
Miss Kitty Cheatham, a Tennessee girl, comes
toward the front with the strongest backing
and the greatest promise. Pretty, piquantand
yet in her teens, she is said by those who know
her to have the ambition and pluck of Mary
Anderson, whom, in personal -appearance, she
closely resembles. She is a daughter of ex-
Mayor Dick Cheatham, of Nashville; a niece
on her father’s side of the late Gen. Frank
Cheatham, and on her mother’s side a grand
niece of Gov. William Trousdale, famous in
the annals of Tennessee and the Southwest.
She is a member of the Casino Company, and
is considered by those who best know her pow
ers as certain to become the rising luminary of
that organization.

THE EDUCATED JEWELED BUG.
To Supersede the Ensllsh Pus as a
Living, Crawling Society Fad.
Although the educated Mexican jewelled
bug is, perhaps, no longer a novelty as a fash
ionable ornament among New York society
women, where they have been seen for two
winters past, it is something new in Bridge
port society aud has caused much comment
among the leaders of fashion here. Miss Em
ily Nelson, of this city, has just been present
ed with one. It has a harness of gold and is
bedight with precious stones. The educated
bug is bound to become popular here for many
reasons aud eventually the English pug will
have to succumb and give place to these ex
pensive pets. They come high and are quite
rare. Like diamonds, the price is governed
by the size and qnali y. It will be some time
before Yankee ingenuity will be able to supply
a base imitation. Yet the demands of fash
ionable society for the coming bug craze will
rack the brains of naturalists and jewellers to
produce a regulation bug that will stand firm
against comparison with the genuine article.
Miss Nelson’s bug is the gift of Siguora
Puentes. of Merida, whose daughter, Senorita
Evelia It imero Fuentes, has passed the last
three years as a pupil at Miss Nelson’s semi
nary, on Golden Hill The bestowal of the
five bug as a gift is considered in Yucatan as
a high distinction. The castom is said to have
originated among the Spaniih nobles several
centuries ago, whan the first bug was educated
and worn by a princess. The bug became
greatly attached to the beautiful maiden and
partook ot her moods and deposition. When
ever she was sad or despondent the bug be
came sluggish, and whenever she was j oyous
and vivacious the bug was likewise lively in
i • movements. At her sudden death the bug
pined away and died. With it* jewelled shell
it was laid at rest in the same royal tomb with
the beautiful princess. Ever since these pets
have been in vogue, the bugs are extremely
dificult to educate and are looked upon as the
particular property of royalty.
Miss Nelson is justly proud of her bug, and
wears it constantly while driving or out shop
ping. The insect is about the size of an ordi
nary black beetle. Around its body is firmly
fastened a gold band. Another gold strap is
riveted to this and passes down the back,
around and under the body, and is welded
upon the under side to the gold belt encircling
the body. Upon the bask are tiny jewels set
in gold and fastened into the shell. The color
ing of tie shell is a brilliant sparkling nile
green, edged off with black. Its movements
give flushes of variegated co’o.s Upon the
under side is fastened a delicate gold chain,
which in turn is attached to a brocch. This
can be pinned upon any part of the dress.
Miss Nelson says “these bugs live for a num
ber of years if not exposed to the rigors of
Northern climes.” She fastens hers at the
belt, and the beauty goes wandering around
among the garniture of roses, flowers and la
ces worn upon her corsage. The bug does not
seem to be timid, but crawls tranquilly about,
oblivious to the admiration which he creates.
It is educated to eat from the lips, and under

Current Conceits For Children.
Little girls wear dresses which are conven
tional and masculine to a degree. The upper
parts resemble boys’ jackets, and open on vests
of white mastic-colored pique.
Sailor suits for boys and girls are as popular

adapted to easy childish movements.
A new style of cloak for girls from 7 to 12
years old is pleated throughout, the lower part
from the belt downward being in rounded per

long enough to reach these pleats is pleated in
tbe same fashion. Tbe cloak is belted in with
a ribbon or a cord, and is usually made of
rough or shaggy woolen stuffs. A rounded
form is imparted to the pleats by lining them
with bright-colored flannel.
Prudent mothers are now going or sending
to Best’s Lilliputian Bazaar in 23rd street for
Warner’s Health Underwear for children. It
is made of line, pure camel’s hair from which
all coarse thieads have been removed. It fits
like a glove, and preserves the electric forces
of the body. That Warner Brothers, who have
done so much good by designing and manufac
turing corsets to suit women of all classes, and
conditions of purse and physique should re
member the needs of growing children is not
at all strange, for they are philanthropic, Chris
tian gentlemen who have at heart the well be
ing of humanity.
Speaking of the Lilliputian Bazaar, what a
wonderful world of itself is this caravansary for
children where their material wants in the an
nals of apparelling are so comprehensively con
sidered! Everything, from the swaddling clothes
of the newly-born infant to the costume for the
girl or hoy midway in the teens may here be
found. Tried mothers are materially aided by
tbe corporative system of sewing; and think of
the inestimable benefit to the children who
thus secure a higher class of service in the way
of culture and careful moral training from their
maternal ministers!
A picturesque dress for a little girl has skirt
of red and blue striped woolen fabric (the

Forty-two Years Back.
My Journeys in the World of Dreams
and Visions.
[LOUIS n falligant ]
Editor Sunny South: Sir—Chirographers
are well aware that style is the dress of
thoughts, that thoughts are expressed by
words, and that truthfulness should be true to
herself. Could we not, us two, take the above
three, as escorts in an serial flight to Dream
land? Shall we not? Yes! Then “en avant.”
In the primitive night hours of April 11th,
1845, I found myself in a state of beautiful
wakefulness and of dreamlessness, thinking of
human’s personal knowledge of one and an
other; of their ever changeableness; their dis
positions, aspirations, peculiarities, speculative
aims and greeds given to play to all qualities
to make themselves helpful to each, other.
Thus did I speculate of the electric flashes of
my fleeting thought*; yet, feeling that some
thing was needed to busy my mind during a
night’s restless wake. To dream, one must
sleep! Could dreams always prove spiritual
imageries—realities, life’s shadowings would
be less dreaded and feared by the many, and
blighted hopes aud trusts of the past be forgot
ten: ar.d, instead of suffering experiences, we
would have presented us brighter visions of re
newed delights, of enhanced human happi
nesses and greater prospects of the future; but
symptomatic symholicals are few and discords
many. It is only when the soul of man is in
perfect accord with the heavenly harmonies
he finds himself happy. I craved sleep of Mor
pheus, with its romantic attendants—the gentle
zephyr messengers direct from Dreamland,
but, for a time was baffled. At last slumber
settled its soothing mantle upon me and my
thoughts journeyed onward—upward, into airy
space, my spirit free. Then I heard a silvery
voice utter forth: “I know of thy heart’s
wishes and of thy foul’s desires—hath listened
to thy oft prayer, O, mortal man; I grant thy
earnest rogation. Dream, dream, dream on
ever!” But, “what becomes of personal con
sciousness during dreamless slumber? Is it
for a time, or is it created anew?”
Methinks that I was awakened by father in
law—A. G. II—d—informing me the elemental
world was going round. Startled by the won
drous announcement, I looked outward to wit
ness the fact that old sol had risen in the westl
Further, there were also two other suns be
tween it and the south pole. Bewildered by
the phenomena I wheeled, casting my eyes’
glances upward to the heavens, and behold
there was a fourth sun in the east! Amazed, I
exclaimed, “Has the end of time come?” The
eastern sun was transcendent, for its lower
half to its centre was veiled to sight, being
transfigured. I soon noticed the frontal of a
large mansion, shaped in a half circle, enriched
with Dorticis and cultured colonnades of
snowy' purity, and became enraptured with
heaven’s vision as with its brilliant scenery;
yet, a sheaf of wh . at filled with golden-fruited
seeds, descended stem downwards from the
eastern sun, bedding itself a step off in my
front, with others like it following. And I saw
that one of the wheat grains of the first sheaf
became enlarged, and that it reared a vari
egated pink-like flower. I then heard a voice
beg the lovely gem of me, but 1 refused, believ
ing its gift would endanger my soul’s salvation;
and ere a moment’s lapse I gave it away, and
perceived that the seeds of the other sheaves
were swelling, heralding the advent of many
of Flora’s beautiful flowery pets.

France Thinks Only of Revenge.
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, who has just
returned from Europe says: “The entire
French nation thinks only of revenge on Ger
many, and dreams of nothing but recapturing
Alsace and Lorraine. Boulanger has lost his
position of the popular idol through too much
flambeauancy. He made himself a laughing
stock almost before he reached the pinnacle
of a popular idol. The Germans are as fall of
the war spirit as the French, and a collision is
inevitable in the near future ”

Cullman, Alabama.
"Love is Enough.”
Editor Sunny South: Cullman is the county-
seat of Cullman county, a new town and a new
county, both named for Col. Cullman, the
founder of the flourishing German colony.
Cullman is a beautiful little city of about
four thousand inhabitants, all of the Tutonic
race, most of them emigrants. In 1873 the
ground was broken for the first settlements,
by a party of eighteen Germans, under the su
pervision of Col. Cullman, who desired to settle
a colony of his countrymen on these Alabama
heights.
The site selected was thought barren and
unfit for agricultural purposes, and many con
sidered the attempted colony a failure in its
birth, but such has not proven the case.
Rather has Cullman prospered and blossomed
like the rose. The residences are comfortable
to a degree, embowered with ftewers and vines;
the schools are flourishing; the churches pros
perous. The court-house and many of the
mercantile houses are buildings of much taste
and beauty.
The colony engage mostly in farming, ship
ping, last season, over 2,200 bales of cotton,
and thousands of boxes of strawberries and
other delicious fruits and vegetables. Grape
culture is also carried tea degree of perfection,
the hillsides being covered with the finest vine
yards. The wine made by the Cullman gTape-
growers is said to be equal if not superior to
the famous Rhine wine of the “Fatherland.’’
The anniversary of the founding of Cullman
is celebrated every year with great rejoicing
and appropriate ceremonies by the inhabit
ants, each of whom takes a personal pride in
the city, and holds it as sacred as if it were a
small bit of the German Empire.
******
I was walking upon the white sands that
form the shore of one of Florida’s most beau
tiful lakes, although the sky was overcast aud
dark clouds rolled their dusky vapors in aDgry
circles, and swift flying billows across the blue
arched vault of heaven. The bright warm sun
light was shut out; a weird sobbing wind blew
chill from the north, and swept like the sigh of
a lost spirit out across the darkening waters.
I paused, and with clasped hands, stood
watching a tiny boat rise and fall with the an
gry pulsing of the waves as the storm swept
onward.
The water fowls flapped their strong wings
as they sped by me with warning cry; the low
ering clouds muttered in low, sullen tones,
while the winds, growing fiercer yet, lashed
the waters into a white fury about the frail
boat that quivered on their treacherous bo
soms.
One, dear to me as life itself, sat in that
frail bark that might never rest its prow on the
white sands of the shore. One, dear to me as
life itself, had left me because of my coldness,
and was facing the angry winds heedlessly,
nay, had laid aside his ores, and was drifting,
drifting—ah! whither?
Forgetful of my resolve to live for fame
alone, forgetful of my resolve to devote my
life to the achievement oE great and noble
things, I knelt upon the sands and prayed for
him I loved.
Oh! gone, was ambition, pride, coldness and
scorn; only warm, tender, human love re
mained in my heart. The heights of fame
were too cold, too barren, and I plead for the
safety of him who had made the roses cluster
about my pathway. I reached my arms yearn -
ingly toward him I loved so fondly, ana as I
did so, the bright golden sunlight burst through
a rift in the angry clouds and bathed his form
in a flood of glory. Ah! my love, my love!
He took up the oars; he had seen me; he un
derstood, and the boat shot forward as his vig
orous arms beat in steady, strong strokes, for
the shore.
He is near me now; I can see the eager look,
the flash of joy on his sunny face; and rising,
I stand with down-cast eyes and throbbing
heart. O, perverse human heart!
He was safe, how needless for me to have
shown him how dear he was to me, for I could
not, no, I would not heed his prayer. I was
needlessly frightened; the storm was not so
fearful after all; so I argued, half in anger and
regret, to my wayward heart.
“See, I come, my darling!” he cried in glad,
ringing tones; but I did not lift my eyes, nay,
I would not, until I heard- a crash and groan
Then, ah, then, I started forward. The frail
boat had dashed upon an unseen danger; my
darling struggled but for a moment only. He
was crushed, perhaps killed. I rushed out
into the waves, grasped his helpless hands, and
with frantic efforts dragged him ashore.
I brushed the dark clinging rings of hair
back from his face; I called on his name
wildly; I felt for his heart, which was still.
With a cry of regret, with self-condemnation
and self-scorn, I took his dear face between
my palms, and stooping, I pressed love’s first,
love’s despairing kiss upon the precious cold
Ah! but he was not dead; he did not die!
This afternoon we stood beneath the orange
trees at sunset, and watched the rich glowing
clouds of purple and gold smile at their beau
tiful reflection in the limpid waters of the St.
Johns. While we stood on the brink of the
river, the perfumed breeze tumbling my brown
curls and flattering my white dress, the sweet
church bells up in the steeple began ringing,
ah, ringing.
“Hear the mellow wedding-bells,
Golden bells!
What a world of happiness their harmony fore
tells.”
We turn at their sound, smile into each
other’s eyes with a sweet content, without one
thought tor fame or greatness. Arm in arm we
enter the little white church that stands on the
brink of the placid river, to register our vows
of love before high heaven.
Ah!
‘ Love Is enough. Why should we care for lamer
Ambition Is a most unpleasant guest;
It lures us with the glory of a name,
Far from the happy haunts of peace and rest.
Lf t us stay here In this secluded place.
Made beautiful by love’s endearing grace;
Love is enough,”

Editor Sunny South: Were an inhabitant
of another world suddenly transported to some
such portion of our own sphere as the desolate
steppes of Siberia or the arid desert of Sahara,
little would he imagi le, unless endowed with
qualities of mind radically different frem those
of ours, that there were spots and scenes on
his new planetary residence that taxed to the
utmost the descriptive powers of enthusiastic
admirers of the beautiful and wonderful and
subliAe.
As little likely is the uninformed traveler
who leaves the train at Tuscaloosa depot, to
form a oorrect idea of the charming town, the
intensely uninteresting outskirts of which he
has entered. When I say “intensely uninter
esting outskirts,” I speak from the standpoint
of esthetic observation—not from that of the
spectator's survey. He who stops to reflect
practically, mercenarily, must certainly find
his immediate surroundings profoundly, in
tensely interesting. For before his mental vis
ion must arise a glorious city, built, not at ran
dom, purposelessly, stylelessly, as cities once
were, but in accordance with carefully laid
plans, in substantial fashion, with a practiced
eye to every detail of life and business. Found
ed upon, lying amid, incalculable mineral
wealtti, the inviting fields before him cannot
escape the deluge of money which is absolutely
certainly going either to bless or curse this por
tion of Alabama.
Perhaps, however, it would tire yon to read
about the development of natural resources; so
with your permission I will accompany a visi
tor of a less specially practical turn of mind
on his drive of a mile from the depot into the
heart of beautiful Tuscaloosa, and make a few
notes of the things he will find of interest dur
ing his stay. He will be told long before he
reaches town that Tuscaloosa was once the
capital of Alabama, and that it is still famous
as the principal seat of learning in the State.
His informant will tell him the names of a sur
prising number of schools and colleges, male
and female, of which he will probably remem
ber just one—the University of Alabama. The
mention of the State Asylum for the insane
will make a certain impression on his mind.
As he approaches the quiet old city, he will be
struck by the grove-like appearance of the
streets, nearly all of which are rendered su
perb avenues by triple rows of majestic live
oaks—one on each side of the street and one
along the middle. As he drives amongst and
under these usually neglected yet exceedingly
valuable friends—spiritually valuable, I mean,
and hope you understand me—of those who
dwell in cities, what thoughts must surge up.
The solemn Druidical groves, the Garden of
the Gods—what that was grand and mysteri
ous in connection with ancient tree-worship
will not suggest itself to him? And the state
ly manors he passes will help to fill him with
the belief that he has at last found a city of
peace, plenty and infinite repose.
Nor need he fear that the charms and beau
ties which nature and man have combined to
prepare for his appreciative study, will soon be
exhausted. Let him be never so unremitting
in his determination to see all that is to be
seen, he cannot keep pace with the kaleido
scope of Tuscaloosa’s natural attractions. Do
I seem to speak extravagantly? Well, I have
seen about all the most beautiful cities in this
country and Europe, and I know whereof I
speak. Why, there is a point on one of the
bluffs that overlook the gallant Black Warrior,
from which I have time and again beheld sun
sets every bit as lovely and gorgeous and in
spiring as any I ever had the good fortune to
gaze upon over the Yal d’Arno, at Florence,
from the top of Galileo’s tower, where, you’ll
remember, Milton used to sit before his blind
ness and dream from suDrise to sunset of Par
adise. To the lover of Nature, I would say,
“Come and see!”
But to return to our visitor. If he deserves
to come to Tuscaloosa at all, he must have a
soul that kindles not merely at the sight of the
interesting, the beautiful, the grand, in Na
ture, but as well at the sight of the face and at
the sound of the voice of pure and lovely wom
en. And if he has a “seeing eye” and a
“hearing ear,” pity him, ye powers above—if
he should ever wish to leave fair Tuscaloosa.
Let him come from what other favored region
of the earth he may, he will not be able truth
fully to say that beauty and grace and every
other quality of mind and body that helps to
make lovely woman adorable, do not abound
here to a degree that is as delightful as it is
surprising.
Where else on the globe, let me ask, will you
find young ladies so irresistibly bewitching as
to be able with a word and a glance to induce
a case-hardened street-car driver to stop his
car in the middle of a trip and drive back with
his enchantress to the terminus he had just
left, in violation of regulations and in indiffer
ence to consequences? Incredible? A fact.
I was myself a witness and a beneficiary of
the astounding performance, which wts of
quite recent occurrence.
Again, did you ever hear the young men of
a town or city “resolve” that any “fellow”
from any other city who dared to marry a
Tuscaloosa girl and take her away, ought to
be lynched?
Our visitor would be as much amazed by the
cordiality of the reception he would meet with
on every hand, provided he “behaved himself”
properly, as at anything else after the unriv
aled ch&rmingness of the young ladies. He
would not be met with the look of suspicion
and dislike so generally accorded to the stran
ger in certain very large corners of our laud.
And for this novelty in manners he would
most sincerely thank his Maker.
Finally, in leaving the city destined bsyond
question to be, ere many years have passed
away, the Queen of Alabama, he would say
devoutly, as I do, “God bless the good people
of Tuscaloosa.”
With sincere respect,
Henrt Hamil-ox.
THE CHILL MASTER.
Chills and Fevers Completely
Conquered.
A Perfect and Absolute Cure for the
Worst Cases of ChiUs; Also a Fine
Remedy for Sorethroat, Head
ache, Neuralgia, Malarial
Fever and General
Debility.
Twelve months of severe suffering from
chills and fevers left me, as I supposed, a
hopeless invalid. The best physicians and
every known remedy brought me no relief and
I decided to try an invention of my own, and
to my great astonishment it effected a com
plete and permanent cure. I then determined
to send the remedy abroad for suffering hu
manity, and wherever it has gone it has pro
duced marvellous results and brought back
countless expressions of gratitude from multi
tudes who have been soundly healed by its
magic touch. In Cincinnati I refused several
times to take 85,000 for the patent, and have
since refused vari jus liberal offers for it.
It is indeed a thorough Master of Chills,
and will destroy them completely in the worst
malarial sections where no other known rem
edy will produce any effect upon them. It has
been found also to be a fine tonic for general
debility and delicate constitutions. It will
strengthen and build them up permanently.
It is a fine appetizer, excellent remedy for
neuralgia, sorethroat, remittent and intermit
tent fevers, and has been recommended for
dyspepsia.
Try it and be healed, and then tell it to your
suffering neighbor.
If your druggist does not have it on hand,

PERSONS Wearing Artificial TeetL

A Persistent Feeling of Cleanliness re
mains for hours after using Holmes’ Mouth
Wash and Dentifrice.
Having been shown the formula for Holmes'
Sure Cure Mouth Wash and Dentifrice. I will
say that from my knowledge of the therapeu
tic action of each of these substances entering
into its composition on deseased mucus mem
branes of the mouth and gums, I believe it to
be a specific in a large number of the ordinary
deseased conditions for which it is recommend
ed. I say this on theoretic grounds and am
satisfied that a practical test of this mouth
wash in my own practice has more than justi
fied my expectations. I therefore reccommend
it for general use and would be glad to know
that every man and woman in the country
would try it for themselves, believing that it
will result in great good to those who use it as
directed.
Athens, Ga.—I have had occasion recently
to test the virtues of your Sure Cure Mouth
Wash in an aggrevated case of inflamed
and ulcerated gums, with most gratifying re
sults. I find that I can accomplish more in a
short time with Sure Cure Mouth Wash than
any other one of the many similar prepara
tions I have ever used in my practice of many
years. I wish that every one, old and yoimg,
would use your preparation according to the
printed directions, and then, I think, the den
tist would be able to accomplish more good for
their patients, and do it with more satisfaction
to all concerned.
