TOCCOA, GEORGIA.
The production of petroleum in the
United States is on the decrease.
No doubt can exist, records the Cin¬
cinnati Enquirer, that a revival of ship¬
building is taking place to some extent
in this country.
The postoffice at Mhieral Point,
CoL, 12,000 feet above the sea level,
Is the highest postoffice in tbe country.
But tbe postmaster says his salary is
about the lowest.
In Germany bee keeping is taught in
many of tbe public schools and the Gov¬
ernment also provides instructors in the
art, who go from town to town as their
services are needed.
Down at Panama coffins are hired, and
graves too. The latter cost $12 for
eighteen months, and in case of non¬
payment the body is thrown out of the
grave. Coffins can be hired for $7.
The number of students who are study¬
ing in the five law colleges in Tokio,
Japan, at present is upward of 28,000,
showing an increase of about 1000 in
comparison with the same period last
year.
The Jacksonville Times-Union notes
an order from Baris to a Florida grower
for several boxes of oranges. The citrus
fruitB of this country can compete with
the Mediterranean fruits in their own
territory.
Death by decapitation is still recorn-
mended by the French medical jurists.
In all other procedures, says Dr. Loye, a
famous scientist, and in death by elec¬
tricity in particular, the simulation of
death is possible.
A big struggle ten years ago, with re¬
sults of such a sweeping character that
a partial disarmament could have fol¬
lowed, would have been infinitely cheaper
and better for Europe, avers the New
^ork 'Times,, than this long nightmare of
dread and ruinous preparation.
Tt is estimated that tbe present popu
lation of the United States is 64,000,000.
The total increase is said to be 100,000 a
month, exclusive of immigration, and
last year the increase by immigration
was .)18,000. At this rate the next cen-
bus, which will be taken in 1890, will
show about 67,000,000.
What we want mostly, in the opinion
of tlie New 1 ork Times, is not so much
au extended market for disposing of OU)
surplus cro pi, but cheaper methods ol
production. If our vast crop of corn
can be grown one cent a bushel cheaper
than it now is we should save $ 20 000
000, the value , ,.
or of 50,000,000 bushels
of grain.
It is suggested that as “Pa.” is somo-
times used as au abbreviation of Penn¬
sylvania, “Ma.” might be used as an ab¬
breviation for Montana. A good abbre¬
viation for the State of Washington—if
it retaius that name—will be hard to find;
for the obvious “Wash.” is too sugges¬
tive of a laundry to be considered for a
moinont. This fact alone, declares the
New I ork Triinm ", ought to rule out
that unme for the new State.
Au incident occurred at Queen Vic¬
toria’s last drawing-room which has ex¬
cited a great deal of comment. As W.
H. White, Secretary of the American
Legation, approached her Majesty a por¬
tion of her head dress, including the
diminutive crown she wore, fell to the
floor. b or a full minute no one seemed
to know w’hat to do. The ornament was
finally replaced, but the superstitious
ones seemed to regard it as a bad omen.
Which of our great men is it that says
nothing is ever lost or can be lost? The
saying finds a notable exemplification in
the b:g mills of George Sibley, at Salem,
Mass., where new cotton rags and rem-
nants are cut up into all manner of stay¬
ing, lining, binding, tips and so on, for
use of other artisans. Buffs, that is,
long cylinders of round pieces strung
together and used for polishing brass,
gold or silver goods, are also turned out
by the firm.
Judge Blodgett’s late decision that au
employer is not responsible for the negli¬
gence or incompetency of an employe,
unless the person injured by such negli¬
gence or incompetence gives written
notice of suit inside of thirty days from
date of injury will, if sustained, pre¬
dicts the New York Commercial Adver¬
tiser, work a mighty upsetting of the
old common law doctrine, that he who
does a thing by the agency of another
person does it by himself.
The total tobacco consumption of Eu¬
rope, according to the Uhlands Woch-n-
s.'hrijt , is about 2} pounds by each in¬
habitant. Iu the Netherlands the pro-
portion is a littie over seven pounds to
each inhabitant, in Austria-Hungary,
3.8 pounds; in Germany, 3 pounds; in
France. 2.1 pounds; in Great Britain
and Ireland, 1.34 pounds; in Italy, 1.25
pounds, and in Russia, 1.2 pounds. In
the United States the proportion is said
to be 4 j pounds per inhabitant.
In the Blockley almshouse at Phila¬
delphia may be seen on sunny days,
warming himself in a sheltered corner, a
decrepit, miserable old man, who once
lived on the Isle of Jersey, in the Eng¬
lish channel. There many a time Mrs.
Langtry, the “Jersey Lily,” sat upon hit
knee and \ ictor Hugo lingered by nis
side in close and brilliant chat. Lord
Tennyson has shaken his hands and the
richest neighbor has deferentially re¬
moved his hat. So the world goea.

the Smithsonian Institution, vice-presi-
dent for a similar term.
James Tanner, the new commissioner
of pensions, has made a decision which
will place 20,000 new colored pensioners
on the rolls. It was brought about by a
petition from a negro mother. She
and her son had been slaves owned by
the same master. The son escaped, en*
listed in the Federal army and was
killed. After the War the mother
claimed a pension because her sou had
been killed in the War. The sum ex¬

be marshal of the United States for the
Eastern district of Louisiana. Robert P.
Porter, the new superintendent of the

About the most uncomfortable lot of
employes in the service of the govern¬
ment at Washington are those in the
Indian bureau.- When Mr. Adkins was
appointed to be commissioner of Indian
affairs and Mr. Upshur who, like Mr.
Adams, is from Tennessee, was named
as his assistant, there was great rejoicing
in that state, and many Tennesseans got
fat jabs. The new commissioner of In¬
dian affairs is an old employe of the
Interior Department, and knows all
about the preponderance of Tennessee
people under him. He says he will get
rid of the Tennessee surplus at no re¬
mote day.

SUMMARY MEASURES.
tiffed Mayor Grant’s secretary received a cer-
copy of Judge Wallace’s order dis-
Western solving the injunction procured by the
the Union Telegraph Co., against
mayor and board of electrical control
in New York City. The order was sent
on Tuesday, to the department of
public works. One of the inspectors was
on hand with a corps of axmen, expect-
ing the war signal. Before eleven o’clock
tbe poles at Fourteenth street and Union
Square were being cut down. Hundreds
of people quickly gathered to witness the
novel sight of men cutting down tele-
graph poles. Two gangs, one on each
side of the street, attacked the poles,
Another company of strong-armed wood-
choppers Sixth made an attack on the poles on
Avenue. They commenced on
both sides of the avenue at Twenty-Third
street, and leveled to the ground all
poles on the avenue as far as Fifty-eighth
street. The mayor sent to the commis-
sioner of public works a letter notifying
him of the poles and wires that were to
come down. Broadway was fairly well
lit up with gas, but it was pale. The
only relief to the absolute gloom of
Madison an<| Union squares, were the
lights flicker in lit the surrounding streets. Not a
the darkness within the parks.
It was a strange scene and the talk of the
town. It was an object of interest, which
drew many spectators to the spot to see
the transformation.

The most noted of the women boom¬
ers, Oklahoma way, is Nellie Bruce, the
daughter of an old boomer. She caught
the Oklahoma fever from her father and
left a Kansas district school, in which
she was teaching, to join him. He had
built a neat little frame building in
Crutch county, near Oklahoma City, to
receive her; but the day before her ar¬
rival the Indian scouts discovered and
burned it. The old man met her with
tears in his eyes and related his misfort¬
une. With true western grit the girl
immediately set to work to build a dug-
out, well concealed in the woods. Bruce
was driven out of Oklahoma, but she was
not found and remained for months in
her home, surrounded by her chickens.
Pretty and dashing, she was the idol of
the boomers, and death would be the
portion of the man who treated her with
disrespect. raid Before Lieut. Carson’s last
Nellie fled, and, returning to Kan¬
schoolmates—mostly sas, gathered around her quite a party of
sohoolmarms. She
intends to lead them into Oklahoma. She
has a claim near her own picked out for 1
each, and they will thus form quite a
community. Another interesting woman,
Nannitta Daisy, arrived on the ground
Tuesday. Her home is in Louisville,
Ky., where she was employed upon daily
* papers as special correspondent. She
was Kentucky, an applicant for state librarian in
but was beaten by only one
vote. Chagrined at this defeat, she tried
Washington, end became well-known
there for her wit and eccentricity. Se-
curing the recommendation of the Ken-
tucky she delegation and several senators,
school was in given the charge of a government
territory. There she be*
came interested in Oklahoma and wrote
descriptive letters of the country for the
eastern press. On one of the finest claims
in the North Canadian valley waves a flag
Daisy’s bearing the following: “This is Nannita
claim; look out!” “Will you
risk living there by yourself ?” was asked
her. “Will I?” she replied, and she laid
on the table before her a brace of beauti-
medals, ful ivory-handled revolvers and two gold
received at shooting tourna-
I ments. “Willi?” Well, I should say so.”
