Volunteers together in the army.
There are in the show window
of Air. J. E. Wells’ jewelry store,
two figures that will be an inter
esting sight to the old veterans
and to the sons of veterans as well.
One is a Macon Volunteer in 1861.
He has on one of the handsome
uniforms of that lime, dark blue
with white shield, and barrel cap
with German silver visor and
mountings. The oilier figure is a
Macon Volunteer of 1865. He
has on the gray jaeket and pants
and little cap. The coat and
pauls were worn at the close o!
the war, the latter by Lieut. G. C.
Connor, who had them on when
wounded, and the ragged hole in
the waistband shows where the
bullet went in that entered his
side. The young soldier has a
small dainty moustache, and the
old soldier has a full beard. He
is the picture of hard times, but
lie was a soldier fighting for his
country, all the same. Upon him
is strapped the sack and canteen
that went through four years of
the struggle and near him is a
battle flag that was waved aloft !
over the Volunteers as they fought
on the battlefields of Virginia. |
The two figures are studies in
llic-ir way, and Luit. Wells has
made masterpieces of them. The
old veterans who will be here this
week will see them; and only a
glance is necessary to make mem
ory scamper back to the times
when a square meal was as big a
curiosity as President Cleveland
is dow.—Macon Telegraph.
and kissed the child. The Presi
dent then kissed the lovdv little
i girl as he handed her hack to the
man servant.
The procession seemed lo have
halted, and the knightly escort,
superbly mounted, set Hp wild
cheers as Airs. Cleveland kissed
the Georgia girl, and the crowd,
taking up the cheers, made the
air reverberate with glad shouts.
On the broad porch of Dr. Ran
kin's mansion, were sitting Dr.
J. W. and Airs. Rankin and fami
ly, and Col. and Airs. II. Jf La
mar, and Airs. Edward McLaren,
of Macon, and other guests. As
the President's carl iage p: ssed on,
Alra. Cleveland, who had just
read the card attached lo thepho
ingraph, looked toward the noble
Southern mansion, smiled and
bowed graciously to those ou the
porch.
On the card attached to the
grateful gift, was the following:
•For the President and Mrs.
Cleveland, with love. The picture
of a little Georgia girl, Valerie

An old citizen, a gentleman of
high social and official standing

famous Missouri Governor, Bob
Stewart, which, true to the letter,
proves that fact is stranger than

“I was coming np the Missouri
River whea I was • boy,” said
the Ex Governor, “and I was

At a point where we had to wood
up I didn’t carry as big a load as
some of the roustabouts, nor

others did, for I was not strong
and had been tenderly raised.
The mate became enraged at my
slow movements on the gang
plank, and lie gave me a kick and
sent me ashore, and confiscated
tny buffalo robe as payment for
my passage to that point. I nev

A well know n hatter was rid
ing uptown last night, and engag
ed with a scholarly neighbor in an
animated conversation on the
obscurity of Browning's poetry.
At Eagle street a young swell got
on and took the seat iiehind the
hatter, whom lie at once recogniz

chased his headgear, though the
latter didn't know him. After
sitting some time uneasily, the
swell suddenly stuck bis head
forward and inquired with a loud
voice: “I say, when'll the fall

place? 1 can't wear this thing
much longer and I’d tike to know
when I can get a new one ” The
irritated individual addressed,
brought down from his supreme
contemplation of Browning to the
consideration of hats, replied tart

‘I should like to give yon an
idea of how we girls are treated
wherever we go to look for board
ing places in this city,’ smid a
young type-writer to a reporter
the other day. ‘You men can ob
tain board wherever you please,
and so long as you pay your board
bills and bebave yourselves, there
are no questions asked; but with
a girlit is different. When I came
lo New York, 1 was fresh from
New England, unknown and with
out friends here to give me any
help or bints. Consequently 1
had to hunt up a boarding place
for myself. After considerable
looking around, I found a quiet
appearing house where the sign
staled that a hall room was va
cant and that boarders were want
ed.
In answer to my ring a kindly-
looking matron inquired my busi
ness. When I told her that 1
was looking for a boarding place,
a visible change came over her
face.
‘Who are you?" was her some
lint abrupt question. Then she
scanned me as if I were a suspect
ed thief, for whose capture a re
ward had been offered, and with
out giving me time to answer this
pertinent question she continued:
“Are you married?”
‘No, I’m not,’ I said as pleas
autly as my mortification would
allow.
‘What do you expect to do for a
living?’ was her next query.
•I am a ty |>e-writer.’
‘A type writer!’ This was said
itli a sneer that might mean vol
umes.
‘Have you a brother iu the city
or any male friend who will call on
you?'
‘No, my fan: !y all live in Con
necticut.'
‘Do you keep company with any
young man?’ Really I was begin
ning lo lose all patience, but I
managed to say calmly; ‘I do not,
but what lias that got to do with
the question of iny hiring a room
and paying for it in advance?’
‘Have you got any references? 1
‘I don’t see why I submitted to
so much quizzing. That woman
could beat a reporter asking ques
tions. ‘No,’ I replied, ‘but if you
want them, I aup|>ose I could get
them from home in two or three
days.’
‘Well, I guess we haven’t any
room now, and besides, I’d rather
have gentlemen,’ was the worthy
matron's decision, as she opener)
the front door only to shut it
quickly behind me. I think 1
went to fully a dozen places, only
to lie treated iu the same way.
At last I went to the Young AVo
man's Christian Association where
I should have gone first. I never
was mere thankful in my life then
when, after I had been at work
for a year and desired lo change
my place, one of the girls in our
office invited me to share hei
room until I was able to find an
other place. This may all sound
very tunny to you, but it was not
a funny experience for me; and
my experience is by no means un
usual. A man can get rooms and
board where he chooses, without
references and without questions,
but when a girl tries to get board
for herself, if she is well-dressed,
her character is doubted, and
there is‘no room’ for her; people
wonder where she gets her money.
If she is poorly dressed, she is
naturally not wanted, because she
will lower the reputation of the
bouse. She must, in all self de
fence, marry or at least become
engaged, it she has no male rela
tive under whose protection she
is. It does seem as if something
might be done for poor girls who
come to the city this way. . There
nnght to be somebody willing to
take them and care for them re
spectably and economically, and
do this without sacrificing the
self-respect of the girl.’—Sew

Kail way Tickets Fer Corpaes.
A reporter waiting three min
utes in a Broadway passenger
agent’s office overheard the fol
lowing: ‘No, sir, there are no half
rate tickets for corpses. A corpse
of any age requires one full first
class, limited ticket, and no bag
gage can be checked on that tick
et, nor can any stop over check
be issued upon it. The corpse
must be accompanied by at least
one adult person. It can only
be carried in the baggage car,
and, in addition to being properly -
boxed, it mast be accompanied by
a certificate of the attending phy
sician lo the effect that deceased
did not die of any contagions dis
ease. and across the coupon ticket
must bc.writteo instead of deceas
ed's signature the word ‘corpse.’
Chat is the law upon every rail
road in the United Stales.
A passenger is allowed only
150 pounds of baggage, or seventy-
five pounds upon a half ticket.
If you have more than 150 pounds
you will have to pay excess bag
gage, which charge will amount
lo from 12 to 15 per cent, of the
cost of passenger’s ticket. No
single piece of baggage must
weigh over 250 pounds, or it will
not be takcu in the baggage car,
but must go as freight. The in
terstate law requires railroads to
carry children under 5 yearn of
age, w>hen accompanied by an ad
ult, free. Children over 5 and
under 12 years of age are carried
upon a half rate ticket. Special
rates, under the new law, may lie
given to railroad employes, cler
gymen and on account of charity.
To be eligible for this special rata
a clergyman must be regularly or
dained,"permanently ^located in
ebargejof a pastorate and be en
gaged in no other business what
ever. Under this law the wives
and families of the clergymen are
not entitledjto any reduction in.
the regular rate. Special rales
cannot now be made to temper
ance workers or lecturers, nor to
persons engaged in educational,
pbilanlkropical or charitable
work.

Tyrannical Hirls.
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox saysi
“It is a sad commentary on Amer
ican society and American man
ners that so many bright anil
otherwise charming young girls
ar. llo-vcd tc. tyr n .i: e over the:*
fathers and mothers, and that the
parents seem to feel a sort of ser
vile pride in being eclipsed by
their own offspring. I know an al
most innumerable number of girls
still under twenty wbo monopo
lize the conversation, reprove
their parents publicly for any
careless or old fashioned furm of
speech, and whose opinions are
law and gospel in the household;
while the parents stand humbly
in tbc background, gazing, half
in awe and half in wondering ad-
miraliwn, upon the brilliancy of
their own progeny. Tliia thor
oughly American system of ed
ucating young girls does not con-
dace to their early wisdom. It
permits them to gain a sort of
premature chaotic idea of the sur
face things of life far beyond tbeif
years and gives them an exagger
ated impression of their own im
portance. It requires time and
experience to teach them to right
ly estimate their own worth or
understand their own needs.
