Cotinly Adarlalttvstor. Bill Arp says that a woman wants everybody's children whip ped but her own. Just so. Stonewall Jackson's daughter. Miss Julia, is making a sensation l>3 r her beauty in London and Paris society. The Louisville Courier-Journal advises the girls to discourage in temperance reiuaiftg to marry intemperate men.. He that cannot forgire others, breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself, for every man has need to be forgiven. The solid South has in the elec toral college 153 votes and Indiana democracy elects the next presi dent. Henry Grady learns that Maj. Bacon lias been offered a position with the general ccunsel of the Pullman Palace Car Company. Major Bacon is aa able lawyer and popular man. The consumption of quinine in this country last year was about one million eight hundred thous and ounces. About one million ounces were imported, but is was an over-production. If you have great talonts, in dustry will improve them; if mod erate abilities, industry will supply the deficiency. Nothing is denied to well directed labor. Nothing is ever t© be attained without it. The latest feature of insurance is guaranty agaiust damage from cyclone or tornadoes. Agencies have been established in several Georgia towns. Georgia is a very productiv State. It appears among her sta tistics that there is an average of 1S§- babies born daily throughout the year, including Sundays, Since the adoption of the stock law in Oglethorpe county, it is estimated that the increase in the value of lands will average two dollars per acre. When the newspapers get through nominating presidential candidates, the people will come to the front and have a “say so” in the matter. It is kind of them to let the newspapers have the first showing. We burned up a hundred mil lion of dollars last year, which .is equivalent to a tax of two dollars per head on every man, woman and child in the country. A gentleman of Athens, after a heavy rain fell, discovered several fish in a small mud hole on the roadside, that had evidently been carried up in .some water spout and deposited there by the ram. There ia an old man ia Clay county, N. C. who has borne through ninty-two v«ars the burden cf the name of Alexander Gumptleton Rulaeton Oberda Whitleton Touthenhall Benjimin Franklin Squires. A benovolent-looking old man obtained the signatures of Illinois farmers to petitions asking the Legislature to tax church property the same as other property, and transferred them to promis*ary notes. A man will burn his fingers lighting a cigar with a piece of paper and make no fuss about it, but when his wile asks him to set the tea-kettle over, and he likes hold of the warm handle, he is mad enough to shipwreck tire kitchen. St. Alderman Comm&ndery, Knights Templar, of Columbus, are drilling two or three times a week, getting ready for the meet ing of the Grand Ccmm&nd- ery, which meets at Albany next Slav. Josh Billings tells us how to make friends, and as it may be cf advantage to some of our readers, we give his toraiular: “When a man kums to me for advice I find out what kind of advice he wants, and 1 give it to him: this satisfys him that him and I are two as smart men as there is living. The average Congressman is be ginning to make efforts to connect "his present term with the next, and would no doubt bs glad to spend a few days among his con stituents in order that he might feel Iheir pulse. Hydrophobia is reported from many sections of the state. In county, rear Brick Store, several dogs, two calves, a goat and a cat afflicted with the malada have re cently been killed. Lafayette, this Si ate, Miss Mattie Goodaon was put upon trial in the Superior Court at its recent term charged with mur der, but was acquitted. She cele brated the event at night by mar rying J. O. Phillips Gen. G. T. Beauregard has be come a member of the New Or leans Cremation Association, and Pere Ilyancinthe, still lecturing in that city, has publicly expressed his approval of the principles of th* society. —Tue Central Railroads is fixing up some sort of plan to attract immigrants into the South through Savannah. The Cast la Garden revival is drawing out consideable energy along the South Atlantic and Gulf coast. New Orleans, Charleston and Savannah are *live to these interests. Tobacco dealers will be glad to learn that there is now a strong probability that the rebates on taxes to which they are entiled will soon be paid. Secretary Folaer thinks that all of these claims will be paid within three- months. Miss Fannie Lou Scaife, the ac complished daughter of Prof. J. F. Scaife, of Camilla, died in that town on Sunday. The young lady was popular and greatly esteemed by those who knew her, and -her presence will be greatly missed in society there. With all their money when too millionaires come to cross tlte Stvx they will have to ride in th* same little old row boat with the rest of us. They don’t have steam yachts or silver-plated first cabins on Charon's ferry. The contest in Alabama ic grow ing very warm. Governor O'Neal has had an unfortunate admins}ra tion, being under the shadow of the Vincent defalcation. Col. >fc- Rieroy, of Eufaula, Chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, will antagonize Gov. O’Noal in the race. B. B. Ziltraner, a prominent citizen of Bryan county, this State, and his friend, Arthur Toole, were out deer hunting last week, when Toole, who was at a stand watching fer game, mistook Ms friend for a deer and dis charged both barrels of Ms gun into Ziltraner’s body, killing him instantly. Luly Hprst ha* done a noble work by her electrical powers. She has. succeed in paying off a $1,600 mortgage that was on her father’s farm. Mortgages are the most difficult things in the world to lift and when a young girl can succeed by electricity in moving one cf these finaccirl barnacles, we believe she can lift chairs or sny othei article by the exercise of the same power. Business men cay that the signs «f improvement in every branch of business can be seen, and that we are emerging from a season of depression and are approaching better times. Tins appiic-s par ticularly to the South, where there is to be a great advance made in the development of natural re sources and in the establishment of manufacturing enterprises. The outlook is bright for Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas, and there will be a large addition to the population ©f these States during the present year. “For years,” writes a corres pondent of the Country Gentle man, “I have cured warts very easily on all animals, no matter where they were located, by ap plying butyr of antimony with a feather. The Supreme Court of the Unit ed States denied the writ of habeas corp ussued for, in the cases of the Geoegia kcklux recently convicted of intimidating voters, by the U. S. Court for the Northern District of Georgia. So the prison ers will have to *erve cut their time ia the penitentiary. The grand jury of Essex county, New Jersey, recommends the use of the whipping post for wife- beaters. The man who whips his wife where divorces are so easily obtained as in New Jersey, is a perfect brute. This is saying a great deal, when it is borne in mind that authorities of natural history tell us that the brute is an imperfect a»imal. The roads are getting to be a matter of serious consideration in nearly all the counties of the state. And it is right that they should be, for there is nothing of a public nature, that is of more interest or value io the farmers than good roads over which he must travel m going to church or market. Yfe are glad to see the better class of our farmers advocating a different and better system of road laws. A prominent Republican in Washington says that the Repub lican programme will be “The the continuance of a protective tariff' and of the financial currency politics of lii£ party ; protection of the suffrage in all the States; the destruction ofMormonism; nation al aid to education m proportion to illiteracy; the maint nance aud perfection of the civil service re form ; the protection of American citizens aud American rights abroad; a national railway com mission, sHid so o n” The great exposition at New Or leans, which begins next Decem ber,‘if properly appreciated, will be of more value to the south than any similar institution of the kind ever held in the country. The fact that many capitalists from all parts of the country, as well as from Europe, will be there seek ing the section of the South that offers the best inducements^for the investment of their money T p. dl make it just the place for the south to advertise to the world her superior-and grand resources. Capt. Simpson, of the Philadel phia schooner Three Sisters, which arrived at Savannah, Ga., Feb. 23, with a cargo of coal, reports that on the monv.ng of the 19tli, while under cl os?-reefed sails with the wind blowing from the south, she was struck by a water-spout, which-hung over her for about three minutes. The deluge of water threatened to engulf the vessel, lost her main gaff, main sail, foresail and mash hoops. Capt Simpson reports seeing three other waterspouts* during The passage, all of which came near the vessel. God’s Lore for the Soul. Ckristain Commonwealth: My riads cf Christ-loving souls know— as surely as they know anything within the sphere <jf the mind and heart—that their love in its move ments toward their fellows is un der going continual renewal, con tinual correction, .continual re covery, continual elevation and purification, because (in their faith) it has its roots in God. Thev lov God, therefore they love men. God's love wearies not, therefore theirs does not faint. God’s love leads to soil-sacrifice therefore does their owa. Tlisir* love is never weary\ never puzzled, never baffled, never thwarted, but it finds refreshment, guidance, strength ennoblement in the more perfect love of God. The action of God’s love on their own is to them a matter of experience, and as such it is a subject of knowl edge. In word, it is science; and to say all, there cannot be any adequate philosophic exposition of all the facts of human life which does not include the science of love, “It ia not generally known,” says an exchange, “that Georgia ha* had five cepitcl*, although she has owned only two capitol buildings. The first capitol wa« Savannah, the second at Augusta, and the third at Louisville, Jeffer son county. At non* of the** plaees the State owned a building. H hile the Legislature was in se«- sion at Louisville 1SC5 an appfo- priation was made for a capitol, and Milledgeviile was selected by an act of the General Assembly. The sum appropriated wa* $60,000. That was what the first Georgia capitol cost. It was subsequently sdded to considerably. Th® Legislature first met in it in 1807. It also was built by a commiesion. In 1835 tli? Legislature appropri- ated €10.000 for an executive mansion, but that buildiug cost $50,000 before it was com pleted.” No more dangerous and vicious bill was ever introduced in the American Congress, than that which proposes to dictate (o news papers the character of the adver tisements they mayor may not in sert, and (o exclude from the mails such papers as do not conform to the law. It also proposes to ex clude from the mails any matter looking to a gambling transaction in what is known as “futures.” What business or right has Cen- gi’essto meddle with such matters? The man who introduced the bill, or any member of Congress that will support it, is a ‘dictorial try- annical and veritable ag9, com® from any quarter they may, and that is all there is of it. iko l ine Hsai b» Draw* Somewhere The Athens Banner-Watchmar thus speaks of the gentleman Tl cently elscted to’ the Preside of the State Agricultural Society “I atience and persorverance ar< two good trails in any man’; character.
