Thirty federal soldiers deserted from McPherson barracks, near At lanta, last Saturday. They evidently -do not like the pew barracks. The president is cooling off at Deer Park. “Lige” is with him, and all is well, and everything is, apparently, “Quiet Along the Potomac to night.” Savannah refused to invest in Primus Jones’ first bale, but Henry Clews buys it in New York. Primus is avenged. When will we hear the last of the Sullivan-Kilrain fight? Introduce something new, Ben Butler’s New Orleans record, for instance. Any thing to change the subject, * jfHod. Wm. H. Venable, of Fulton, has introduced a bill for the estab lishment of an asylum in Georgia for inebriates. The measure will be warmly supported. It would doubt less tedeem some whose appetite for strong drink is beyond control. Dr. Brown .Sequard lias discovered the elixir of life at last. This elixir will enable any man to live Rlways, with or without a wife; whether, in first case mentioned, lie links Jicr or not. See! Do you catch on? But we hnven’t time to explain. Mr. Tatum’s bill to prebibit the importation of dressed beef in Gcor- gta will be found in the soup, when it is called up. And there wont be Enough of it to thicken the soup. It is a very foolish measure. l.adics who lavor the Atkinson Industrial School bill, now before the legislature will do it a service by drop ping in at the Library and signing the petition asking the legislature to pass the act. Persia’s Minister, Hadji liasscin Ghooly Kahn,—what a name!—has gone to Europe to meet lus High Hogship, the Shall. The collection of taxes, the payment of pensions and protection to trusts and monopolists, will go on just as if Ghooly had not left. Thomas Jefferson, colored, was hung the other day in Memphis, Tenn. Thomas had a through ticket, limited express, without change, to - heaven—lie said. This reminds us that George Washington is in jail, out in Indiana, charged with burgla ry, while Andrew Jackson is working out a three years sentence in the Ten nessee penitentiary for c >w stealing. Our.grcat men appear to be deterio- atiiiR- The French citizens in New York celebrated the one hundredth anni versary of the fall of the Bastilc, on the 14th. Many distinguished Amer icans were invited, among them Mr. Cleveland. Not being able to attend he sent the following seutiment: The friendship which lias so long existed between the I'liitcd .States and France is made more sacred and binding by their com mon devotion to the doctrine ol popular •i by the mission they have under > demonstrate the fituers of mankind government. Major Wallace thinks that the rail road commission of Georgia is ample protection for the people. lie favors the encouragement of more roads, be lieving that they will inure to the benefit of the people. The Major thinks the present laws give every needed protection and is opposed to legislation which would cripple the roads, or prevent investment in new lino. And Major Wallace is a mighty clear headed man. SB fives in Washing!™ nml business-like at iliiv.” Ex Congressman Rawls, the present representative from Effingham, said yesterday : •‘That legislative hall isn't as large n- the one in Wnshingto i, lull it's finer looking. Nine men on! id' len, (lint lime ;een bnlli halls, will agree with me in Unit assertion. What's.more tliun that, I believe Unit s fie finest state legislature that ever assemble I in the South." It is fortunate that the present house is such an able one. There arc many grave and important questions to come before it, questions affecting, vitally, the people ot the Stale. Thomas county is well and ably rcprcscr.lcd. The interests of county and stale will be carefully guarded by our immediate representatives. A Grave Question. The question as to who found or founded the watermelon industry, is agitating half a dozen newspapers. The Valdosta Times, Quitman Free Press, Albany News and Advertiser, all elaim to have presided at the horning, while the great big Constitu tion claims' to have been the “granny” who bought the infant industry into cxistance. Pendleton fires this broad side: “The Constitution i ml the News and Ad vertiser fisrt learned of the Melon business through the columns of the Times." Now lets hear from the Free Press. If we remember right, that sprightly paper had a few scattering paragraphs on the Kolb Gem, a tew years since, It was generally thought, at one time, that Perham used a Kolb Gem for a pillow, when sleeping. Georgia’s Volunteer Soldiery. The convention of military men, now in session at Atlanta, will proba bly have an important beating on the future of volunteer Military organi zations. As a matter of general in terest we take the following extracts from the proceedings of the first day: Tl c stole military advisory board held its annual meeting here to-day. The board submitted its unnual report lo Gov. for Ion. Tbc report is concise and ezplii il. and sets forth tlie claims of the volunteer soldiery of Georgia in n forcible manner. It recom mends that the stale appropriate $5,000 lor the maintenance of tbc adjutant general, his assistant nnd the advisory bonrd. The report further recommends that tv parade ground sites for state encampments he selected and established by tbc legislature, one in tbc northern part of the state, and one on tile const. It recommends the adoption of a uniform service uniform, ami many other excellent changes in tbc management, organization and equipment of the state militia The convention requested the udvisory board to draft a bill for the legislature set ting forth the needs of the state military and asking for sufficient appropriation to make the system efficient. The con also memorializes the legislature, the passage of a law making one year's mili tary service compulsory.

Atlanta, Ga., July 15.—The Sen ate went on record to-day against con verting the cnpitol into a ball room. The question came up on the resolu tion tendering the eapitol to the citi zens’ committee of Atlanta on the the evening of Aug. 8, the occasion of a public reception in honor of the opening of the new building. It had been anno meed here that the feature of the reception would be a grand hall. When the resolution was re ported hy the committee on public property to-day, they had amended by adding a proviso that there should he no ball or dancing. The amend ment was opposed by the younger senators, but the overwhelming senti ment was in favor of it, and il pre vailed. Among the new bills was one adding Valdosta to the cities winch may have a slate depository, and one to exempt toll-bridges from tax when made free to the public. The bill also passed authorizing the Columbus Southern railroad to expend Speaking of the great C'onematiglt flood, Rabbi Hamfield, in the Memphis Jewish Spectator, says: “God, in his wisdom, has 'set hounds for man which he cannot pass,’ and has decreed ‘that the waters should not tiausgress his order’ of gravity, velocity and hydrostatic nobility, and whenever man does not adapt himself to these immutable laws every impeachment against the wisdom and goodness of the Supreme Intelligence turns it self into a terrible accusation against human folly and criminal careless ness. Every calamity, however ter rible a loss of life it involves, should teach man to study first the laws of nature and to take into account th tremendous power of each clement which he is more than willing to use for his benefit and comfort whenever and wherever he can. The devasta; lion of the Conctnaugh Valley teaches the terrible lesson to the world thnt man dare not tamper nnd trifle with the stupendous forces of nature.” I-Oll RENT- Five Room Cottugr on Love street, near Wttrren street, nt $12.50 per month Nor. t, 1880.

(Botanic Blood Balm) made hy Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga., will cure blood pois on in its worse phases, even when all other treatment fails. A. P. Brunson, Atlanta, writes: “I had 24 running ulcers on one leg and G on the other, and felt greatly prostrated. I believe I actually swallowed a barrel of medicine in vain efforts to cure the disease. Willi little hope I finally acted upon the urgent advice of a friend anti got a bottle of B. B. B. I experienced a change, and my despondenc y was someirimt dispelled. I kept using it until I had token sixteen bottles, And all the ulcers, rheumatism and all other horrors of blood poison have disappeared, and at last I am sound and well again,after an experience of twenty years of torture.” Robert Ward, Maxey, Ga., writes: “My disease was pronounced a tertiary form of blood poison. My face, head and shoulders were a mass of corruption, and finally the disease began eating my skull bones. My Ik)nes ached; my kidneys were deranged; 1 lost flesh, and life became a burden. All said 1 must die, hut nevertheless, when I had used ten bottles of B. B. B. I was pronounc ed well. Hundreds of scars can now he seen on me.
