Lord Wolsclcy took this view of the future in making an address at Birmingham: “Those who study the map of Europe, at the present mo ment and the condition ot things in Europe must feel that there is hang ing ovor us a war cloud greater than any which lias hung over Europe be fore. It means that when it bursts— and burst it will as surely as the sun will rise to-morrow—it means not, as in former days, a contest between two highly trained armies, but a war of extinction, of devastation, between great armed nations whose populations are armed and trained to fight.” Send Your Best Men- The coming convention of the Georgia State Aliiancc will be the most important meeting ever held by that body. Questions of vital im portance to the order and to the state are coming before that assembly and we must have our truest and best men to handle them. We want truly conservative men who have the good of the Alliance at heart, men who wifi discard the wrong and sustain the right. In the election ot delegates, brethren, do not be guided by any personal preference, but send the man who you know will forget every other interest while there except the good of the Farmers’ AlliaDcc. There Is an influence being brought to bear by a certain clement in our order which must be counteracted, or the Alliance and its dearest interest will again be the victims of treachery. Look well to this matter and send your truest men to the convention.— Southern Alliance Farmer. As the Chronicle has already stated, an important bill was introduced in ..the House on Friday by Mr. Clark Howell, of Fulton, which provides for the election of twenty trustees of the university, two from each Congression al district, and the appointment o( three by the governor from the city of Athtns. The governor is to be ex officio a member of the boar^, and the term of each trustee is to be four years. They are to be paid actual railroad fare and expenses for not ex ceeding one week. Mr. Howell con tends, and with great reason, that elect ion by the people would bring the university, and the cause of education in general, nearer to the people, and woufd have the effect of removing whatever ground there is tor the com plaint about the control ot the univer sity being too local in its character, —Augusta Chronicle. Professor Tood, of Amherst, has discovered a spot on the sun 30,000 miles in diameter. If the theory of Herschell that these spots arc holes in the outer disk of the sun be correct, this hole is big enough to let several planets the size of the earth drop .in to the sun without any crowding at the entrance. Come to think of it, this earth of ours is rather small pota toes. Some people turn down the corner of a leal of a book in order to find the place. Others turn down the streets of a city for the same purpose. Fanner’s wile.- -“Why do you get up and leave that piece of steak?" Tramp—“I didn’t ask lor work, ma'am; I asked for something to eat.
