It was growing Into, The 1 ide of humanity that earlier in the eye ing had ebbed and tlovvd through the streets of the great city had swept onward, leaving the strange and al most ap’ialing sense of desolation that conies when the noises of the town a-elu lied. The electric lights H ived unnoted on the corners, the street ears passed at farther interva’s, i m and 1 hen a night worser hu.- -d fi.v, his footsteps riiging op.i iotnl and Gar in the stillness. In froiutof r sail on, whose lights shone out bright and and rudy across the paveinen 1 ’~ stood a tramp, unshorn, ragged, dirty, dis gusting. lie watched wit 11 envious eyes the man who passed in and out through the swinging doors, and then lie turned his eyes toward two young men coming down the steet toward him. They had been drinking deep ly, and they stopped before the sa loon door and lookep curiously at him. “By Jove,” said one, ‘ think of hav ing a thirst like that and not the price of an extinguisher in your pockets! Beats aid Tantalus all to pieces, oh? Liquor, liquor, everywhere and not a drop to drink.” He ran his hand in his pocket and proffered a dime but before it could be accepted, the other young fellow interposed. “Say,” he said,“let’s do the good Samaritan, and set the Holie up to a good drink.” The other hilariously consented, and the tramp slouched into the sa loon at the heels of the two gilded youths. The barkeeper set before them glasses and liquors; and with a hand that shook, the tramp poured out a brimming glass, and raised it to his lips. “Stop,' - cried one of the young men drunkcnly, ‘ make us a speech, it is poor liquor that doesn't unloosen a mans tongue - ” The tramp hastily swallowed down the drink, and as the itch liquor coursed through his blood he Rt-su.. hte 'V ! himself and stood ! efore 'fi-' ami dignity that all gs and m could not obscure •t>ciirlc.ne;i,‘' he said, “I look to eight at you and myself, and H seems to in I look upon the picture of my lost manhood. This bloated face was once as t< wing and handsome us yours. This shambling figure once walked as proudly as yours, a man in a world of men. I, too, once had home, and friends, and position* I had a wife as beautiful as an artist’s dream, and 1 dropped the priceless pearl of her honor and respect in the wine cup, and Cleopatra like, saw it dissolve, and quaffed it down in the brimtninf draught. I bad children as sweet and lovely as the flowers ot >pi mg, and i saw i.,em fade and die under the blighting curse ora drunkard father. 1 hud me wLei-i love lit the fin me upon the altar and minis'ered before it, am: I put out the by ire nod darkness .uid tie htbu, rogned in stead, i irvi uspirulio'l and emnilion that soared as high a the morning star, and I broke and bruised their beautiful wings, ai.ii a., last, strang'ed them that I might be tortured with their cries mo more T -day I am: husband without a wife, a father with out a child, a tramp with no In roe to call Ids own, a man in whom every good impulse is dead All, all, swal lowed up in the maleatrom of diink.” The tramp ceased speaking. The glass fell from his nerveless fingers and shivered inlo a thousand frag ments on the floor. The swinging doors pushed open and shut again, and when the little group about the bar looked up, the tramp was gone. —Ex. This is the Man HOW? FfiK!

They do not take kindly to the ap parent slight that was put upon them in the select ons of Captains from the Second regiment to the front. The matter is the sensation of the hour in civil as welt as military circles, and ; since the appointments were made known has been discussed very freely on every side. The members uf the company feel that 'hey have been slighted and they resent it. The blame is put upon Govenor Atkinson and upon Major Kenan in about equal parts. The Macon Volunteers say that a large number of the company would have gone if their captain had ‘i een appointed and that ns one of the oldest and the strongest campauics in the ’.slate they should have had a chnnce'to go and their capta n was entitled to more consideration than the commanding officer of the young est company in Iho city and the youngest captain, both of whom were given commissions,—Augusta Trtmne Pointed Paragraphs.

FALSE STATEMENT NAILED, Sir. Nesbitt 1 -’i ! Not Say Cotton Could lie Raised ut 3 1-2 Cents. It lias come to my knowledge that a report is being circulated over Georgia that the head of this department lias said that Georgia farmers could raise cotton profitably at cents a pound. Such a report being well calculated to injure (lie usefulness of this department, tit-reftre, in justice to the department, r.ud all concerned, I feel impelled to correct the false statement. The fol lowing from The Cherokee Advance fully explains the matter: “CoLObSL NUMUTT WAS UMSTENTION- At-I.Y inSJtEPEKSKXTEI). “In making mention of Martin Y. Calvin retiring from the race for com missioner of agriculture, two weeks ago, in which we made impartial reference to the candidacy of Coinmissinor Nes bitt and Colonel O. B. Stevens, wo said that 'Colonel Nesbitt’s mistake of advo cating the raising of Bb, cent cotton at a profit is hurting him no little. ’ “In making this statement wo unin tentionally did Colonel Nesbitt an in justice, and now gladly make the cor rection. While the statement was made and published in the reports issued from the department of agriculture, volume 18, 1892, page 30, it was the result of an experiment made at the Experiment Station under the direction of Director Redning, which gave the result of sev eral tests showing that cotton could be raised oven at 2 1 ., cents per pound. On one thorough test, however, the publi cation referred to above said: ‘Mr. Kimbrough, the agriculturist, estimates the aggregate cost of plowiug, harvest ing, hoeing, picking and fertilizers — nothing being allowed for interest oil the land or superintendence—at an amount which would make the cost of the cotton Shi cents per jiound of lint. ’ Colonel Nesbitt did not say that. He only published this experiment with ether tests made at the Experiment Station, and we trust that our readecs will so remember. ” —Cherokee Advance.

State Agricultural Department tie piles to Many Inquiries. Question. —There is a bug eating up my Irish potato plants, a specimen of which I semi you. Is there any sure remedy for them, and if so what is it? What is the name of the bug? Answer. —The insect you enclose i3 called the Colorado potato beetle, and is very destructive to the Irish potato crop. They have only appeared in Georgia during the last few years, but arc now thoroughly domiciled, and for tunate is the owner whose patch or field of Irish potatoes is not attacked by them. They should be attacked on their first appearance, as they multiply rapidly, and any delay renders it more difficult to got rid of them. They may easily be distinguished from the striped blister beetle (also an enemy to the po tato plant, but; less destructive), the lat ter being much more slender in body and longer, with longer legs, greater activity and more ready to take flight. Avery effective remedy against the Colorado beetle, especially cn first appearance, is to pick them off by hand, at tho same time destroying their eggs, which may he found on the under side of the potato leaves in masses, and are easily recog nized by t heir orange color. The usual remedy is to dust or spray the plants with either Paris green or London pur ple. If dusting is preferred use one part of the poison to five parts of flour and two to three parts of air slacked lime or finely sifted ashes. Apply with a sifter or perforated pan. It’ spraying is preferred use 0 to 7 ounces of either poison to 50 gallons of water. Most persons prefer London purple because of its cheapness and better mechanical condition, lacing as a rule more finely powdered than the Paris green. These applications may have to be repeated two or three times during the season. Remember that Paris green and Lon don purple are both deadly poisons, and should he handled most carefully. In dusting apply in the morning, while the dew is on tho plants.—State Agricult ural Department. _ To Distinguish the English Walnut Seale Kram the San .Jose Scale. Question. —We have what is called the English walnut scale in our orchard. How may we distinguish it from the Sau Jose scale? Answer.— A tree infested with the San Jose scale presents different appear ances according as it is badly infested Tr only slightly infested. When tho roughly encrusted with this insect the tree takes on a grayish-brown ashy ap pearance ns though the trunk and limbs had been painted with dampened ashes. By scraping a limb with a knife the scales may be removed, cohering like a mass of wet bran. If tho tree, is only slightly infested the bark will be found to Be dotted here and there with very dark gray, often black scales (about 1-10 of an inch in diameter) surrounded by a purplish tinge of the bark. The blackish appear ance of this scale is especially notice able during the winter an-.l spring. Later in the season, when the overwintered insect reaches maturity the scale takes on more of the grayish appearance. Aided by a pocket micro scope the for.-ale scale will he soon to bo circular and conical in outline, termi nating at tho center by a minute nip ple-bko prominence, surrounded by a distinct ling. The male scales arc smaller and elongated, with tbs nipple near tho anterior < ml. The English walnut scale is larger (about one-twelfth of an inch in diame ter) and more flattened than the San Jose scale. It is circular in outline and of a pale, grayish-brown color. The nipple-like prominence is at one side of the center and is reddish-brown. By raising the waxy scale the body of the insect is revealed, which is larger and of a paler yellow color than (hat of the San Jose scale. When one once be comes familiar with these two scales it is not difficult to distinguish them. Left unchecked both will eventually kill trees which they attack, but tho San Jose is much mere prolific and less time is required for its destruction of the infested plant. W. M. Scott.
