THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, GA, 8ATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 15, 1887, 8 r W£pEDPLE Wichita, Kansas. The Prodigy of the Nineteenth Cen tury—The Wonder of Wonders, Editor Sunny South: What can I say about Wichita* All over thia part of the con tinent you hear her praises sounded. It is a proud and imperial city, nestling in the beau tiful valley of the Arkansas, the distributing oenter for Colorado, southern Kansas and the Indian Territory; the gateway to the Pacific and the Gulf; the converging point of the trunk lines of railroads, which radiate to every point of importance on this continent and stretch out their loDg steel arms to the manu factories of the East and the golden harvests of the West. It is the wonder of this wonderful century of wonders. The Sunny South representative was re ceived most cordially, and many favors of these hospitable people were extended to her. She is under special obligations to Mrs. Mary White, who, as Mrs. McCrimmon, once de lighted the readers of the Sunny by her eon- tributions. She is now on the staff. of the daily Beacon, of this city, and illumines its columns with her wit and genius, lbe editors of the Eagle, Beacon and Journal (all influen tial papers) assisted me to introduce theouNNY Souih, and spoke many kind words for it. To these papers, especially the Eagle, is Wichita greatly indebted for her present proud and commanding position. The people of the South and especially the South-Eastern States, have a false idea about Kansas, particularly this part (the new Kan sas). They form their opinions from the rad ical utterances of the Kansas politicians, but the people in this section are not intolerant or illiberal in their views. The vast majority of them are the embodiment of whole-30u!ed lib erality, and grant a cordial welcome and a helping hand to all who come, without regard to their politics, religion or birth-place. There are many Southerners here, doing well and growing rich. Seventeen years ago the site of the city of Wichita was wild laud, and was that year taken up as a homestead. There were but few people living in the country, and the mail could be carried in the coat pocket. To-day it is a city of 35,000 people—enjoys the free de livery system—and the U. S. Government is erecting a public building at a cost of $160,000, for Us post-office and court. In 1882 the first railroad (a branch of the Santa Fe) was build to the town; now there are ten trunk lines centering here, and others are contemplated. Four years ago it was without a street railway—now it has tiftv miles operated by cable and electricity. It has six banks, capitalized at $6,800,000, and is the clearing house and financial center for a scope of territory half as large as the State of Georgia. It has oue hundred and eighty man ufacturing enterprises of all kinds, from a ba kery to the Burton car works, giving employ ment to 1,500 workmen, with a weekly pay-roll of $20,000. It has five hundred and fifty bus iness houses (exclusive of its manufactories), employing 3,600 people, earning $30,000 per Thirteen hundred buildings were erected within the last year, at a cost of $2 676.000, and hundreds are now being erected. The first three months of this year shows a volume of real (state transactions amounting to $26,- 000,000. It has twelve elegant brick school houses, with a seating capacity of 4,600; seven oolleges, one of them complete, and six now being erected, at a cost of $1,000,000. It has twenty-four churches, representing all the leading denominations of Christians, and al most every faith under the sun. I cannot em body in the short space of a newspaper artiole all the attractions, diversified interests, com mercial, financial, social and religious, that flourish in Wichita. It is the county seat of Sedgwick county, and the county is keeping pace with the growth of the city. It was organized in 1870; now it has a population of 63,000, with $63,- 000.000 of taxable wealth. Its population is from every State iu the Union—including many Southerners, oontented and prosperous. Taken as a whole, viewed from every stand point, Wichita to-day is without a parallel in growth and greatness. Iler foundations are laid upon a solid rock, and it is her destiny to be the greatest and most important city in Kansas. She deserves it, for her people are the most energetic and progressive the world has ever seen. Ida M. Burry. A Voice from Texas. Buirou Sunny South: Under the above caption, in your issue of Oct. 1st, I find an in quiry, “who is J. Wofford Tucker’” by a “Mister Jingo.” Perhaps as I am Judge Tucker’s pastor, and have been for nearly two years, it is my privilege to answer a question that the editor of almost any Christian journal in the South could have answered quite as well. When I first read the inquiry I was a little amused and perplexed at the possibility that any oue, between our two great seas, could be so ignorant as to ask such a question. My first thought was that the questioner could not be interested or informed as to any of the great temperance movements of this country, as Judge Tucker had been one of our most prom inent workers and writers in bringing about our local option constitution and laws in Flor ida, which are now working so happily in tri umph over bribery and corruption, notwith standing the great influx of foreign money for these purposes. It tbeu occurred to me that “Mister Jingo eould not have read any religious papers, or he would certainly have come across, even with very slight reading of Texas papers, extracts or whole articles from the well known pen of J. Wofford Tucker. Again it occurred to me that Mister Jingo oould not have known any thing of the higher education of the South as the gentleman of whom the inquiry was made was the ortpuiizer of one of our first male colleges, and for some time the President of one of our best female colleges. Again it occurred to me your correspondent could not have been a Western man, as Judge Tucker was atone time the editor of one of the then most widely circulated Western journals. As I read on however, the mystery began to dear up, for 1 began to see abundant evidence flhat your correspondent wasevidently aforeign- er. There are two evident reasons for such a con - elusion. First, Mr. Editor, he used a nnmber of terms not found in any of our English die tionaries, though they contain more than thir ty thousand words. Second, the writer seemed to take high umbrage that Judge Tucker, in quoting the language of the New York Post, showed, by analysis of the Texas vote, that the responsibility of fastening the curse of the saloons upon Texas exculpated the Texans, from the honest and good-sensed "cow-boy," to the Hon. Senator Reagan. When I fin ished reading the article and read the name of the author, “B. Y. Jingo," I saw the mystery was conspicuously cleared away by the dark ness of the name. Yes, yes; the writer was not a colored gentleman, nor a Mexican, nor a Dutchman, but a foreigner from some country much lower than fifteen feet below sea level. No wonder he was not acquainted with the names of many good people 1 As to the writer’s advice as to how preach ers should act, and what they should say, this remark may be made: When preachers seek advice from the lovers of the saloons and not from the word of God. then they will deserve to be rebuked as was Balaam. If Mr. "Jingo” can find a Bible he can read the lesson for himself in second Peter, second chapter and sixteenth versa. T. W. Moors. Sanford, Fla. i New Salem, Mississippi. The Delightful Weather—Interesting Revival Services—Church Im provements—The Crops and Social Gossip. Editor Sunny South: It is one of those autumnal days when Nature is divesting her self of her summer verdure, soon to be re placed by a robe of crimson and gold. The gentle zephyrs softly breathing in the trees; Mother Earth covered with a carpet of leaves —a veritable Vallambrosa; the sweet birdies singing, apparently, their last sot g, of which the last notes molt into the saddest refrain. Yes, a day when the very atmosphere seems to be dreaming and existence onght to be a delight. The very season, the very day, the very hour when “literary ogres” love to court the Muses; and the very time when we mor tals indulge the imagination; hence I can no more evade writing to-day than I can control the current of my thoughts, which, like Ten nyson’s “Brook," go on forever. Why, when we build our "Castles in Spain,” should they not all he color de rose? Even if they drift into the dim corridors of a mysterious future, there is no reason why we should turn pale with horror because of aD imaginary "skeleton in the closet,” who ever and anon, points its sepulchral (ugh!) fingers toward us. Why cannot we see the sunshine instead of the Bhadows? 1 believe it occurs—once in a lifetime—in the "fortuitous concourse of hu man events,” that intelligent animals are per mitted to enjoy what is euphoniously termed a "red letter day.” I don’t know that we should call a protracted meeting by snch a term; however we bad an awlul delicious time. The meeting commenced on the 1st and continued till the 2nd Sabbath. Our pastor, the Itev. Mr. A. P. Fugh, was as sisted by Mr. Johnson. On account of the re cent bereavement in our pastor’s family, he remained with us but a few days; nevertheless, during his brief stay, he discoursed some elo quent sermons to an attentive audience. We regretted to have him leave; yet he left us in the care of his assistant; and as there was such interest manifested, Mr. Johnson decided to continue the meeting till the following Sunday. We think his zeal was rewarded, as there were six accessions, all, save one, our Sunday school pupils. We were glad to observe the interest evinced by the Methodists, Presbyte rians and others. We think every c tizen in a community should feel it his or her duty to do all he or she can for the advancement of re ligion. I heard a Methodist divine remark not long since that “love was the quintessence of religion;” and, of course, we, as neighbors, Bhould love one another, and do all in our power to advance the cause of religion. Thursday it was our sad duty to assemble at "God’s Acre" to witness the burial of our es teemed citizen, Mr. Robert Pullen. Our sym pathy is extended to the afflicted family. We had some splendid vocal music during the meeting; in the exuberance of joy we praise God by singing psalms unto Him. Mr. Johnson possesses such winning ways that he did not fail to captivate the hearts of all with whom he came in contact; and while he is expounding the Word he does not talk at but speaks to hiB congregation. The teach ings of his last sermon will remain green in our memory; aye, never to be relegated to Lethe. If he continues as he has begun, we predict for him a brilliant future—he will shine as one among the brightest stars in the galaxy of the ministerial kingdom. We had splendid congregations, and as "some one” remarked, there was “an awful great change, somehow;” and when we beheld New Salem Church, we saw “an awful great change;” for, in lieu of the old, faded grey apparel that was wont to greet the eye, we observed the dazzling white ness and green trimmings of a newly repaired church; and when we walked up a flight of steps, we wondered still more—for—listen at tentively—New Salem had been elevated!!! As our orbs were unaccustomed to such new beauty as we now beheld it is a marvel that we listened to the sermon; but we don’t think there was a great deal that escaped our notice. We believe we are indebted to the energy and perseverance of our highly respected citizen, Mr. A. A. McPherson, for all this new beauty and these attractions; (of course others assist ed, but he was the pivot upon which the wheel turned.) Those gentlemen who demonstrated such an active interest deserve the praise and esteem of the community. We think there is some good material in this vicinity, and if some interested member would take an active part and make a beginning. New Salem Church could be made like unto the house that was built upon the rock. Prayer meetings have done more towards the advancement of relig ion than anything. What a blessing it would be to see those young men, who have recently united with us, praying members! An Adonis from Enon makes frequent visits to the hospitable home of our respec ed citizen, Mr. J. M. Flowers. Wonder il he means to gather some of our Flowers? Wonder which he prefers—a long-stemmed lily, a blush rose or cream rosebud? But, if it is not an optical illusion, me thinks his option is to glean from the Fields, eh? We presame our esteemed neighbor Mr. M. M. Bennett, will find home “too utterly too- too’’ lonely when the gentleman who has drank so deeply of the Pierian spring makes his final departure. We suppose(?) Mr. Collins had a delectable(?) time at Salem "teaching the young idea how to shoot ” Ah, mel—the salubrity of our vicinity is such Our Portrait Gallery. PORTRAITS AND BIOGRAPHIES OP DISTINGUISHED MEN AND WOMEN. Charles Dickens. Although much denunciatory gossip about the capab lities of Charles Dickens, Jr., is go ing the rounds of the daily press, there will still be enough interest taken in him, outside of the magnetism which the name and fame of his father effects for him, when he arrives in this country. The reading of his father’s works is his main incentive for a visit to the shores of America, and whether his delivery has or has not the physical force and dramatic power which is required for the successful rendition of nearly all of the material to he read, will soon be proven when Charles Dickens, the CHARLES DICKENS. younger, makes his appearance before the American public for the first time, in New York, iu the month of October, 1887. One ex pressed opinion about Charles Dickens is that “he is about as unlike what the public would naturally expect in a son of “Boz,” as a par lor match is unlike a brilliant comet, bis ronnd face and rather feeble cast of features are scarcely redeemed by a large pair of specta cles.” Charles Dickens, Jr., was born in 1837, receiving, in his youthful days, a careful edu cation which was further assisted through the kind instrumentality of the philanthropical Baroness Bnrdett Couttc. His debnt as a readtr of bis father’s works has only been of recent date, and was made in a modest subur ban hall of London, England. His success was encouraging enough to create a desire for more voice and dramatic culture and thoughts of launching out iB(o greater and wider seas. He is said to be at his best in reading about “Dr. Monggold,” and in rehearsing the famous trial in the “Pickwick Papers.” Mr. Dickens has had some experience in journalism, having been trained into the business management of “All the Year Round,” by his father, eventu ally succeeding him in the proprietorship of the journal. His possibilities as a platform reader will soon become thoroughly known. Zeitung, for a successive period of four years. He is a married man and has a fauily depend ing on him for their living. The evidence against Fischer has proven that if he was not the chief instigator, he was the willing accom plice in the plots to slangbter. Under the mis guiding and corrupting influence of prejudice and class hatred, these men have committed crimes which justice demands shall be expiated by hanging. Henry B. Lovering. In selecting the Hon. Henry B. Lovering for its standard bearer thia year, the Maasachn- aetta Democracy have gone to the extreme op posite to which they resorted a year ago when they nominated John F. Andrew, the son of the great war governor. Mr. Andrew was a rep resentative of one of the wealthiest and most aristocratic families of the old Bay State, whilst Mr. Lovering is a trade unionist and a knight of Labor, and was a journeyman shoe maker at the time he entered upon his suc cessful political career. He was born at Ports- HENRY B LOYERING, Nina Van Zandt. The fast approaching doom of the condemned Chicago Anarchists lends additional public in terest to the proxy bride (Miss Nina Van Zandt) of one of their number, Mr. Angnst Spies. Miss Nina Van Zandt is said to present herself daily, as often as three or more times, at the cell of August Spies, requesting to see him that oar learned god of Esculapius is sighing to roll pills “Noe unto the lawyers and doc- torsi” They are never so felicitous as when they have an intricate case with which to con tend. Unfeeling wretches! They merit a greater punishment than Tantalus, Sisyphus, Phlegyas, Ixion, or even the Danaides, who was sentenced to Erebus to fill a perforated tub with water. We are informed that our nearest (shall I say dearest?) neighbor, Mrs. Mollie McEach- ern—consort of our popular physician, Dr. W. H. McEachern—contemplates leaving ns to make her home for a while in French Camps, in order to give her children the benefit of a good school. We regret exceedingly to have her go. However, we can’t protesi, as we be lieve in every one obtaining a thorough educa tion if possible. Erudition in "small draughts intoxicate the brain”; hence it is always best to “drink deeply of the Pierian spring.” The farmers are busy reaping the fruits of their year’s labor, and ere Aurora comes forth in her yellow chariot, sheddiog light abroad, the woodman’s axe can he distinctly heard, while the sable sons of Africa are merrily sing ing as they wend their way to gather the fleecy staoie. There is a lull in the negroes’ protracted meeting at last They undoubtedly have "lots of ’ligion” ere now. But their “testival sea son” is dose at hand. “Oh! dear, won’t they forget all about “ ’ligion” then? My readers—who possess patience equal to Grissel—if you think we are “sorter blue” (green, rather), attribute it to the fact that ’tis absolutely impossible for us to gratify the present desire of our heart—yclept attending the Piedmont Exposition. The advent of President Cleveland and Mrs. Cleveland is suf ficient motive power for one’s wishing to be present. Adruk. Vaiden, Carroll Co., Miss. mouth, New Hampshire, on April 8th, 1841, and received his education in the public schools af Lynn Mass., which city, has been his home from his early youth. He served in the Un ion army as a private during the war has since walked with one wooden leg as the result. He was working in one of the Lynn shoe factories in 1872, when he was at the age of thirty-one, elected to the State Legislature as a labor representative. In 1874, he was again elected to the same body. He served as an Assessor in 1879 81 and was then elected Mayor of Lynn. In 1882 he was elected to Con gress by 859majority from the GthDistrict, which includes the city of I.ynn and three wards of Boston. In 1884, he was re-elec ed from the same district being supported by the so-called People’s Party as well as the Democracy but his plurality over Henry Cabot Lodge, his Repub lican opponent, was only 265, with a Prohibi tion candidate in the Held who polled 630 votes. At tne election in the same district last year Mr. Lovering was again a candidate against Mr. Lodge, being defeated by the latter by 728 plurality. The Prohibition vote at the same time was 464. Mr. Lovering is a short, stout man, with thin gray hair, moustache and chin whiskers. He Is not much of an orator, hut is an earnest worker and a man of practical ideas. George Engel. The death order to the Sheriff of Cook coun ty, Chicago, 111., in the Anarchists case, has produced much excitement among the com munity in general, the effects of the sentence being felt all over the Union. Interest is most especially centered in the doomed Anarchists ;A Navy to be Begun. 1 The Naval Board has completed the plans and estimates for a six-thousand ton armored vessel, which it has been decided shall be built at Norfolk—but to complete the plant there Congress will have to provide about $50,000 in addition to the $75,000 already al lowed. It is estimated the Vessel completed to re ceive the engines and machinery, will be $1, 890,000—that these will cost $486 000 making a total of $2,376,000— or$124,000 less than was appropriated. The country is to be congratulated that the building of a Navy is now to be begun in ear nest; and the South ie to be congratulated that this beginning takes place In one of her ports, and that the material employed will be almost entirely drawn from her resources. The Almighty Handsomely Compli mented. The London Times, with all its purpose to make itself the perfect embediment of the typ ical Briton—secure and firm in his insularity— is, on the whole, disposed to give credit where it is due. For instance, in a description of New York harbor, recently printed, the Al mighty is very handsomely complimented, as follows: "The converging rivers, with the capacious harbor and numerous adjacent arms of the sea, combine all the requisites of a great port, and could not have been better planned if the hand of man had fashioned them.” Mormons. A writer who recently me’, George W Childs in Philadelphia, thus describes him: His rosy cheeks are like the blushes of a school girl of fourteen or fifteen. His eye is as clear and bright as it was twenty years ago, bia step just as agile. Hia dress is always the same, and yet he looks as if his clothes had just come from the tailor’s, they are so spotless. F. Marion Crawford, the novelist and poet of Philadelphia’s recent centennial, is a man of many accomplishments besides his literary gifts. He is a good musician, being able to ac company his own songs on either piano or gui tar. He is a rare linguist and an athlete of ac knowledged power. CAN’T DO WITHOUT IT. NINA Van ZANDT. when admittance has been refused. This young lady is subjecting herself to much com ment. She is the daughter of people who for- merly lived in Pittsburg, Pa., and who are well known there. The young lady is reputed to be quite handsome and attractive, and has visited Pittsburg frequently in recent years. It is more than twenty-five years since William B. Clarke was a prominent lawyer of the Alleghe ny and Beaver connty bars. His home was in Beaver, and in the early part of his career his practice was mostly in that county. Later on he entered into practice in Pittsfield and won a high position. He had two daughters, one of whom fell in love with and married James Van Zandt. The latter at that time was a book keeper in the old Rochester car works, which have long since ceased to exist After the marriage the young conple went to housekeep ing in Beaver for some years, and then re moved to Philadelphia. Later they went to Chicago, where Mr. Van Zandt became the chemist in a large manufacturing firm. The daughter of this couple is the Miss Van Zandt who has become so attached to Angust Spies. Her mother’s sister married John Arthur, who died some years ago. He was a wealthy man ufacturer, and left a large fortune in real estate and personal property, which went to his widow. As she has no children, Miss Van Zandt has always been regarded as her heiress, and has visited her frequently. Miss Van Zandt is very much admired because of her beauty and accomplishments. Mr. Van Zandt, the father of the young woman, is connected with the Moorehead family of this city, being, it is sflid, a Dephew of the late Gen. James K. Moorehead, after whom he was named. Miss Van Zandi has alwayB been prominent in the “When do you think the moon is at its love liest, George, dear?” she asked. George, dear, stole his arm and a cautions glance around the immediate vicinity and whis pered: "When it is behind a cloud love,” and they were as happy as if they had each taken a hy podermic injection of morphine. We do not see why people should be surpris ed at ladiefc* corsets being tight—they are al ways on a bust. A convict, with a ball and chain attachment, gave as an excuse for not taking a summer va cation that he was closely tied to.business. Webster defines a kiss as a “Salute made by touching with the lips pressed together and suddenly parting them.” The “suddenly part ing” is wbat caused the rejection of Webster as a standard authority in all well regulated sanctums. Washington county, Georgia, to which the following incident nty, _ . relates, is a pioneer Prohi bition county: A young acanthus tree has spring up under the steps of the Sandersville calaboose, and, fercing its way between the step and the build ing where perhaps there is a decayed place in the plank, stands some inches high Immedi ately In front of the door—a silent but power ful witness of the disuse into which the build ing has fallen. General Edward Hopkins, collector of cus toms for the district of St Johns, Florida, died in Jacksonville on the morning of the wth, alt, Is the 77th year of hia age. GEORGE ENGEL. of whom George Engel is a not unpleasant looking or uninteresting subject. George Engel is a foreigner who came to our country several years before the Anarchists trouble in Chicago sprang into existence. Having pre viously led a law abiding life, his present po sition is not an enviable one. The many pe titions and letters which have been circulated in his cause by his immediate friends and ac quaintances gives evidence that the man is not an utterly worthless specimen of humanity. That the plea of leniency on the ground of ig norance, which is being urged on many sides, does not mitigaie the sentence which has pro claimed that George Engel, with his six other confederates, will expiate, by banging, the crimes which they have committed, is very ev ident. The defense in the case of George En gel as with the rest of the condemned men, has been that as he is a foreigner he cannot he folly aware of the laws and regulations of this country. Socialistic tendencies, perhaps in oculated and fostered In Germany, grew with these men until a spirit of anarchistic frenzy became the climax which invented and fired the minds until the deeds were unconsciously perpetrated, for which they are eventually to hang, unless the sentence, set for the 11th of November, 1887, is recalled. Louis Lingg. No new developments are being divulged at tbe time of writing, in the case of the con demned Anarchists, since tbe pronouncing of the death sentence, although efforts are being qnietly and pnblicly made to have the sentence annulled. Louis Lingg, the young man who is supposed to have manufactured the dyna- ADOLPH FISCHER. affairs of the Presbyterian church in Chicago, as her relatives are in Pittsburg. It is said that, through her relations and infatuation for Angust Spies, her expected inheritance may be diverted from herself into other channels never before even thought of. Adolph Fischer. The death sentence of the Anarchists, pro nounced by the courts of Chicago, III., is the reigning and in fact the all absorbing topi: of conversation everywhere, and yet no one ven tures a definite opinion as to the final outcome of tbe existing troubles. Adolph Fischer, one of the condemned men, is described as a very ta’l man, with faded blonde hair and a broad and expansive forehead, giving one a slight in timation of an ambitious scholar. Fischer, be fore his trial and imprisonment for having been an active accessory in the whole plan and conspiracy of throwing the bomb which killed the Chicago officials, has been connected and has worked as a compositor on the socialistic organ of the termed tbs Arbeiter LOUIS LINGG. mite bomb used in the Hay Market square riot, is said to have confessed that he was a bom Anarchist and that he was ready to die at any moment for the cause, saying that he would be only too glad to he sacrificed for the sake of the principles which he has heretofore advo cated. Lingg is a foreigner, having come to America from Zurich, Switzerland, in August of 1885, with the intention of spreading and promulgate Anarchistic doctrines. On his arrival here he immediately associated himself with tbe prominent leaders of the Anarchist party and he became one of their most trusted agents. Louis Lingg is a very young man— about twenty three yean of age, and is learned far beyond the average man of that age, being well educated and evidently a man of consid erable firmness and ability. Iingg's experi ments with dynamite have been the result of recipes read and studied from various books and papers on the subject, and his success with the bomb thrown in tbe May riot of 1886, In Chicago, baa only been too well verified in the fatal result The Sunny South Indispen sable in Southern Homes.

T., Bnckhannon, W. Va: Be kind enough to give me information on the follow ing. A friend and I have a dispute. He says i hat the religious sect known as "Latter-Day Saints,” are entirely distinct from, and are an tagonistic to Mormonism, notwithstanding both sprang from Joe Smith. He says "Lat ter-Day Saints” were never polygamists, while I contend the two sects are the same, and the law alone prevents them from being polyga mists. Please give me some light on this sub ject for the benefit of one who cherishes tbe Sunny South. Mormons and Latter-Day Saints are one and the same—originated with pretended rev elations to Smith in 1827. The "Book of Mor mon” was first printed in 1830. In 1838 Smith had persuaded several women to become his spiritual wives, which so excited the jealousy of his wife (married in 1827) that, to pacify her, be pretended to receive another revela tion (July 12th, 1843) authorizing polygamy. Tbe then membership revolted at and denounc ed it, in response to the general local indigna tion. It was not until 1852 that polygamy was boldly avowed and defended, under the pre tended revelation of 1813. Subscriber, Warremon, Ga.: Is there a book giving ideas on decorating, dressing windows, etc. I am one of the army of dry goods clerks, and have a special gift in decor ating, and wish to make it a specialty. We have never seen snch a book, nor do we think one could be well written. It is all taste, and therefore all original with tbe one who does such work. Taste belongs to each and every person as he or she sees art or beauty. Ex ercise your own taste in such matters, and the science will grow upon you imperceptibly. Attention Queen Mab. L. B : "On last Monday week I wrote a letter to Mrs. M. A. E. S., Box No. 683, Jef ferson, Ga., in which I enclosed twenty-five cents in postage stamps, for a recipe recom mended by "Queen Mab,” as an excellent remedy for removing freckles, pimples, etc., to which letter I have never received any reply. 1 gave her my address very plainly and don’t see why I should not have gotten an answer by this time. We have received two letters written relative to the pimple care, and sent as Queen Mab di rected to Mrs. M. A. E. S., Jtfferson, Ga. We fear there has been some mistake as to the proper address, and if so, Queen Mab will please correct in the Query column of our pa per. We do not think it can be Jefferson, Ga. The best druggist in Atlanta informs us that "Parker’s Charm” is the best article on the market for pimples. The Sunny South FEMALE SEMINARY ATIMTA, GEOBtill FACULTY: W. B. SEALS, A.

H., luka, Miss : I write you to ask a favor which I hope you will kindly grant me. It is this: I would be much pleased if you would in your next issue ol the Sunni South give me some ideas on the subject—"Ol mak ing many books there is no end.” If you can do so, it will be highly appreciated by an old subscriber. As to the making or publishing many books, there is no end; and will never be an end until mankind oease to think When all the laws of nature are known, when the mind can take in no new truths, when every avenue of thought has been explored, when in a word, mankind shall approach that stage known as omniscience, then, and not until then, will books cease to be written and published. This is an age of thought, research, investigation and many theories. Keep, if you can, abreast of the thoughts of to-day, for old thoughts, like old clothes, are of but little use except as old curiosities. The fresh and original thoughts of the day are free from superstition, narrow creeds, blind faith and strange beliefs. As we grow in thought, we grow in knowleige. Compass. DeL E , Wilmington, N. C.: Both of onr firm being subscribers to your paper, we take the liberty of asking you the following ques tion, which kindly answer through mail. In your issue of the I3th of August, under the head of Historical, we find tbe following: “The compass was invented in China 1120 B. C ; used in Venice A. D. 1260," etc. As this in formation has been sought by the writer for some time, he would respectfully ask you to place him in possession of your authority. Tbe Chinese claim that they were acquainted with the properties of the compass in the year 2634 B. C. They certainly used it at sea A. D. 300, long before it was known in Europe. It is thought to have been made known in Eu rope by Marco Polo, on his return from Cathay, in the 13th century, or about 1260. But there is evidence of its being in use in France about the year 1150, and in Syria about the same period, and in Norway previous to 1266. See new American Cyclopedia for other facte. Lungs. Jim Naet, Quitman, Ga.: Can yon give me method of developing and strengthening one’s lungs when naturally weak? Do you think a gymnasium would be of any service? Yes, tut do not exercise too violently. To strengthen the longs, draw in your breath full and throw off freely. Strengthen yonr voice by load speaking. In a word, exercise the lungs, and to do that, study the fnnetiona of the longs and their duty. The daily ssasions will be six hours, beginnltg in the morning at eight o’clock, and dismissing at 421 in the afternoon, with two noun’ intermission at noon and two recesses. We do not like the oneesa- sion plan, as now taught in our poprnar schools. ^The government of the school will be hnmana. bat umifohm. In order to prevent extravagance, a uniform to be worn by the pupils to chnrcn or on the stmt has been adopted, which will be made known to as> one on application. Bend for a catalogue to W. B BEAU.
