JUNE 1), 1880 Tom Woolfolk is undergoing his fifth trial at Perry. There is a growing sentiment in favor of preventing the sale of the deadly cigarette to minors. Georgia is paying pensions to thir teen hundred disabled ex-Confcdcrato soldiers. Generous Georgia. Extensive preparations are being made for the celebration of the coming 4th of July in Georgia. It is our day, too. If a woman would believe less of what a man tells her before marriage, and more of what he tells her after ward, the wedde 1 state would be a much more harmonious affair. A North Georgia man is suing for a divorce because his wife beat him over the head with a Iramed “God Bless Our Home” chromo. Verdict for the complainant. The Tallapoosa New Era thus sum marizes the situation in Georgia:* “Guano*at the bottom, free negro in the middle, and a mortgage on top.” Speak gently. A kind word is more soothing than all the opiates, and one may help to make life bright to one whose future is clouded over with misfortune, of which the world knows nothing. A ladies society for the cultivation of the art of conversation has been organized, so says a contemporary, out West. Time thrown away. That is an art they take to as naturally as a duck does to water. Ex-Minister McLane, who arrived lome the other day, alter having cred itably represented this country as min- sterito France, expresses some inter- :siing views concerning political mat ;ers in that country. He says that he purity of the ballot and the inde pendence of electors are more highly isteemed and more jealously guarded ;han in the United States, and that, lowever impressionable the French roter may be, he is independent and incorruptible, and nobody would dare lo attempt to bribe him. He says ilso that most ot the French people ue devoted to republican institutions. —News. Cordele as a Railroad Center. A correspondent jof the Atlanta Constitution, writing from Cordele, Cordele now has the Savannah, unericus aud Montgomery in opera- ion from Louvale, within eight miles f the Chattahoochee, to Abbeville, n the Ocmulgee, a distance of 115 ailes. .The Georgia Southern and Florida or the Suwance River route, 9 now in operation from Macon to /nldasta, through Cordele, with the -railing nearly ^completed to Lake iity, Florida. Then the surveying corps is uow at vork on the line of the Atlanta aud Florida from Fort Valley to Cordele, ind this road will be completed by .he first of November, giving Cordele k direct and independent line to Atr anta and the west, aud Atlanta an ndependent line to Savannah thirteen niles shorter than the Central. But this is not all, for the presi dent and directors of the South Brunswick and Cordele railroad com pany have stated positively that their road, now under construction to VVaynesville, will be in operation to Cordele within twelve mouths, giving Cordele a direct line to Brunswick, ind Atlanta another direct line to the beautiful Brunswick-by-the-sea. Great Floods. Speaking of great floods the Savan nah News says : “ There has been greater disasters from broken dikes than that of Cone* maugh, but is doubtful if modern his tory furnishes aA instance of so great a loss of life in so short a lime from a broken dam. When the dikes at Dort, in Holland, broke in 1446, as many as 100,000 lives were lost and seventy-two villages were destroyed, but the work of destruction was not so quickly accomplished as at Cone- maugh. In China, last year, when the Yellow river left its banks, a great re gion of country was inundated, and nearly 20.000 lives were lost. AD were not lost in an hour or two, how ever, nor in a week or two. The deaths were distributed throughout the entire summer. A little more than a century ago floods in .Spain caused the death of over 2 000 persons, and in 1S13 a rise in the Danube drowned 2.000 Turkish soldiers. There were memorable floods in France in 1840 and 1846, by which nearly 1,000 peo ple lost their lives, and when the Vis tula broke its banks in 1829, more than 1,000 human lives were dts troyed. In Europe and this country dams of reservoirs have broken and destroyed many lives and immense amounts of property, the most notable of which are the following: The bank of the reservoir at Lorca, Spain, broke in 1829 and 1.000 persons were drowned; a break in the embankment of the Bradfieid reservoir at Sheffield, En gland, in 1864, caused the death of 250persons; the tlaydenville, Mass., reservoir burst in 1874 and destroyed that village and 140 persons; the Lynch Brook reservoir, near Wor cester, Mass., broke through its banks in 1876 and one life was lost; the breaking of the Huron mill dam at Houghton, Mich., in 1884, cost 6 lives, and the breaking of the East Lee dam in Massachusetts, in 1886, cost 9 lives. Calling for Letters. The average darkey has a weakness for inquiring for letters. The follow ing from the Times-Union, JacksonJ ville, will apply to many other places: “Let us stand at the postoffice a few minutes and see the picture that life presents in its ceaseless ebb and flow about this official pier of strange, wierd fascination. There are twelve persons standing iu line at the gener al delivery window, eleven of whom are black, male and female. The sol itary white man looks like a star on the sombre brow of night, or words to that effect. He gets a letter, but none of the negroes do. It does not matter a particle, however, for they expected nothing. It is probable that not one ot them has had a letter in a year and will not get one in an- other".year, and another year after that, but they will be in line every day just the same. That crowd of negroes you see just entering the office arc part and parcel of an excursion irom Middle 1* lorida. They have just reached the city and will leave again at (i p. ni., but they will be at the postoflice three or four times during the interval. The clerk at the window has a face sickbed over with the pale cast of ex treme weariness. Ho has become cynical regarding the presence of common sense in the gourd like -head of the average African, and mechani cally looks in the “O” box as every fresh arrival delivers the sterotyped inquiry.” A Loss of $20,000,000. Tacoma, W. T., June 7.—The business portion of Seattle, the larg est city in this Territory, is in ashes. Every hank, hotel, place of amuse ment, all leading business houses, all newspaper offices, railroad depots, mills, steamboat wharves, cool bunk ers, freight warehouses and telegraph offices, are burned down. The fire began near the corner of Pearl and front streets, in a candy factory building, at 2:30 p. m. yesterday and before midnight had consumed the whole business section of the city northward to Stetson & Posts mill, along, Front and Second streets to the water front, involving a loss of over 820,000,000. The city is literally wiped out, except the residence por tion on high ground. Seattle, W. T., June 7.—It is now etimated that the loss by fire in this city in buildings alone is$10,000,- 000, and the the personal losses will probably swell it to S20,000,000. It is thought that many persons must have perished in the flames. Giant powder was used to blow up buildings in the hopes of staying the progress of the flames but without success. It is reported that two men have been lynched for stealing- Sticks to It. Gen. .lulial Early delivered an ad dress at Winchester, Ya., on the (itb. We take the following extracts from the press report of the occasion: The graves of 3,800 veterans in Stonewall cemetery were decorated this afternoon in the presence of 10,- 000 people. Gen. Jubal Early, the orator of the day, was introduced by ex-Gov. Holliday in an eloquent ipeech. Gen. Early in opening his address said : “When I last saw Win chester, which was the theater of so many stirring events, it Was amid the din of battle, accompanied with the roar of artillery and the flash of mus ketry. After a desperate and most unequal struggle, which lasted from day break until dusk of evening, my command was compelled to retire on that occasion before the overwhelming force of the enemy, which numbered nearly, if not qqite, 50,000 men, of whom more than 10,000 were cavalry, superbly armed and equipped, while my entire force of all arms did not ex ceed 12,000, .or 13,000 at farthest. “That cause was lost, but that did not prove' that it was wrong, for the history of the world abounds with instances in which might has proved more powerful than right. The fact, therefore, that the cause for which these brave soldiers gave their lives failed of success, and that we have accepted the result with a determina tion to abide the issue as a final set tlement of the questions which led to the conflict, does not justify those time-servers who pretend to have dis covered that they were on the wrong side iu the contest either from want of manly courage or from some sin ister motive of self-interest. As I have said on former occasions, ‘If I ever repudiate, disown or apologize for the cause for which Lee fought and Jackson died, may the lightning of heaven blast me and the scorn of all good women and true men he ray portion,' and again I say that the con federate who has deserted since the war is infinitely worse than the one who deserted during the war, for the former has gone over to the enemy at no personal risk to himself and Dr. Benj.

To-day is the anniversary of a group of notable disasters. On the 7th of June, 1692, the flourishing city of Port Royal, Jamai ca, was shattered by an earthquake, aud the place, with 3,000 of its peo ple, went down forty fathoms under the sea. The earthquake of June 7th, 1733, reached (Santiago, in Guatemala, and swallowed it up with its inhabitants. On the same day in 1755 an earth quake destroyed the city of Kaschan, in Persia, killing 40,000 human bc- iugs. On this clay also, in 1 Slis, an ex plosion in the Haydock coal mine, in England, killed 189 miners. The same fateful day in 1885 brought a water-spout to Jalisco, Mexico. Nearly 200 persons lost their lives, and the destruction of property was immense. Such an anniversary docs not need to be painted red. Its horrible sug gestions are enough without any touch of fanev.—Constitution. Picket sells the most clegant_ flour manufactured in America for 85.75.

In fact, I treated a case of typhoid mala rial lever with no other anti-periodic tonic or stimulant. It has proved all you claim for it in my hands, aud has been perfectly satisfactory.

Longstreet, who is still sick in Gainesville, in the inter est of Freeman Longstreet’s candidacy for collector ot internal revenue for Georgia. In speaking of the burning of Gen. Longstreet’s house, Col. Brown said: “After the fire workmen were engaged in clearing away, the ruins, and in a hopeless sort of way looking around to see if anything could be saved. While at work with pick and shovels, they struck a gold mine on the site of the destroyed home stead. Further investigation, assays, etc., have disclosed that it is a gold mine of great richness. Gen. Long street and family are raised from a de presston of a loss they could ill afford to the prospect of the actual posses sion of wealth. There is gold all through that section of Georgia.
