If it is true, as stated, that Thomas ville makes up purses for tramps, who are then sent away, all the tramps in Georgia will pay her a visit within the next three months.-—News. Thomasville and her people arc noted for their charities, but they do not carry them to the extent indicated in the above paragraph. The incident giving rise to the above, occurred in Judge Mitchell’s Court, and does credit to him and Ins officials. A poor, - half starved, sick, emaciated specimen of humanity, was arraigned for vagrancy. His condition natural ly appealed to the sympathies of the court. The result was a purse made up on the spot and presented to the unfortunate fellow. O, no, Thomasville doesn’t make un purses for tramps as a rule. But she works them on the chain gang. And that is just where every healthy tramp in the state oughy.o lie. We half suspect that our big con temporary wants to rid Savannah of tramps, and so circulates the good news that Thomasville will make up purses for them and send them on their way rejoicing. Just let some of those fellows try it. Wo will have them shoveling dirt in less tliuii no time. Laying Sower. The chain gang is now at work ex cavating for the sewer pipe, on Jack- son street, which is to run from Daw son to Madison avenue.

When I awoke the blackness of darkness still covered tho land, but there was an indistinguishable some thing in the east that warned me that darkness must go, a something that was not light and yet gave a premoni tion of (ho light. “And there was light.” It. stole up, the white silvery light of dawn. There was no color, as there were uo clouds. Everything was irv impenetrable gloom and the light stole gently up and made a hori- (7/nyyet leaving everything hither- ward still hidden beneath the pall. Then the peaks began to define them selves, the highest first, soon assuming an irregularly separated appearance against the light, like mighty teeth in a gigantic broken saw. Then the light began to show between the teeth and the saw appeared to grow thicker, and to glow thoughout its length with a bright, silvery light, more like un electric light than any thing else. As the light climbed higher on the horizon, and more of it Rhone through the clefs, the saw was demolished and groups of the highest teetli formed themselves into more- or less regular fantastic profile faces. One splendid Punch like profile was the last to disappear, frightened away by the advancing light, more potent than the hangman. Soon I was able to recognize tho higher anjl further peaks, then, as the pall was lifted, those nearer. Thou there shot up from horizon to zenith a beam of still whiter light than had yet appeared, and ipiiekly there were more beside it, and more and more, until there was a halo of glory resting on the horizon and lighting the whole eastern sky. ft grew brighter ami brighter, finally disappearing, too glorious to waste itself oil mortal view, though (he world was heller for its having lived. All tho while the foreground was be coming plainei in the picture and features recognizable as the gloom lied. A pinkish light appeared on the edges of the higher peaks and gradually changed to a golden glare as it settled dyyvii over everything. There was a star, as at Mirror lake, then Old Sol’s full face and to-day was just like yesterday, and 1 went to break fast.—Private letter from II. T. While. Mine. Jane Hading has written an article in which she gives her impres sions nf America and Americans. Speaking of American women, she says: “They possess beauty like the English and piquancy like the French, with something added in the shape of health and spirits, producing a tone of mind and a frame of body wc know little about in France. Nowhere in the world are women so tenderly and so carefully considcftd as in the Uni ted States, and that is, no doubt, why the United States is the only country in the World—not including my own —where the young girl is the chief personage, the characteristic type.” SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU -AT II.
