Atlanta's great midsummer festival is a thing of the past. And the lion and the elephant are lying down to gether in the zoo.

The Macon Evening News esti mates that the different trials of Tom Woolfolk have cost Bibb county be tween £21,000 and 825,000. Twenty-five thousand barrels of old Bourbon whiskey was burned in a big warehouse in Louisville, Ky., on Thursday. And the Kentucky Colo nel refuseth to be comforted. The Augusta Chronicle tersely rc- maiks that "The Stale Agricul tural Convention endorsed Governor Gordon for United State Senator. This ought to settle it. '1 he sub-treas ury scheme seems not to have had standing room.” : "We sent our young boy to college,” writes a Georgia editor, “and after three years’ hard study he didn’t know how to hitch a mule to a wagon and couldn’t run a straight furrow to save his life. What are these colleges good for, anyhow?” The American hog is iust now an issue between this country and France. Minister Reid, he of the tall towered Tribune, is defending and upholding the hog against the frog eating French men. "I have heard some admirable ad dresses before the Agricultural Socie ty,’ 1 says President Northen, “but a dozen colts on exhibition at the state fair is a better lecture than I have ever heard on stock, and a bale of fine hay is a finer lecture tor grass growing.” A popular novel is entitled, “llic Kogue.” Now let some enterprising novelist give the public "The Liar.’ This descendant of Auauias is count less nnd ubiquitous, and lie deserves to be shown up in all his vilencss.— Brunswick Times. 1 The ‘‘rope route” vs. electricity, is being discussed by the press. The country is divided, some asserting that Kemmler’s execution by electric ity was a success, others claiming it was a failure. One thing is certain : the fluid killed Kemralcr. Tansy, mint, thyme, lavender, sweet brier, sassafras, sweet fern, sweet maijoram, and half a dozen oth er delightful aromatic plants once covered the square in the garden that is now devoted to cucumbers, cab bages and squash. Maud does not want to come into the garden any more, unless she is fond of vegetables. —Dallas (Tex ) News. There were hundreds of disgusted, disgruntled Atlantiaus on the Geor gia Pacific R. R. between Atlanta nnd the Piedmont Chataugua, on Thursday night. It took five hours to run twenty miles. The kickin was vigorous nnd continuous, and the amount of profanity indulged enough to shock the whole state. A book has recently been issued entitled "The Woman of the Future.” It is the woman of the present who claims attention. No one is particular ly interested in the future woman, she may be ugly or pretty, cross or sweet tempered, red beaded or bald, but When it comes to the woman of to-day then you interest the whole ol creation, and in the language;of Gen, Taylor, •The balance of mankind.” The Serious Joke. The Timcs-Union, Jacksonville, says: As an example of hasty legislation and its consequences, the St. Paul Globe ciles the case of the Wyoming female suffrage law. It was adopted by the territorial legislature in 1870, and "was one of those piecesof humor that at times possess legislatures ; it was a pure joke.” The governor was expected to veto the bill, but he preferred to see the joke carried ou f . The next legislature repealed the act, but tnc governor vetoed the repeal. So the joke went on, till the women became so strong politically as to se cure recognition of their right of suf frage in the state constitution. They found they derived certain advantages from the ballot, and would not give it up. At first thought it seems incredib’e that any legislature should pass such a monentous act “as a joke,” but when we consider what sort of men mu-t have composed the legislature ot Wyoming twentv years ago it does not seem very strange that such a bill should have been patsed without re gard to the governor’s veto. When we consider also what sort of women are most numerous in those frontier regions we can imagine that their presence at elections would add an interest to them peculiarly agreeable to miners and cowboys. As to the results of this very practical joke the Globe says : The facts as developed seem to be that it does not work out any of the guod results claimed for it. The bet ter class of women very largely either do not vote at all or cast the same ballot as their male relatives. The less worthy elements, and they arc numerous in mining regions, vote for pay. This is true of many very res pectable lades. They look upon political races as upon horse races, and dresses, jewelry and money are demanded for theii votes. It is very common for girls under 21 to vote, no man daring to challenge them. To do this would subject him to ridicule and very likely result in his being driven from the community. More money is required to run the elections, and in place of purifying politics, the participation of women demoralizes them. Beautiful Thoughts. Say ivlmt you will about Robert In- gcrsoll—call him pagan, infidel, or agnostic, no one can dispute the fact that lie has a big brain and a tender heart. This good man gone wrong—this stormy petrel of the dead sea of doubt, sometimes rises above the mists and togs that blind most of us, and in his sunnier moods sings n song of gladness that rejoices weary hearts, ana uplifts the bowed bonds of the sorrowing. Here is what he says about the laugh ol a child: Strike with baud of fire, oh, weird musician, thy harp strung with Apol lo’s golden hair! Fill the vast cathe dral aisles witli symphonies sweet and dim, deft touclier of the organ’s keys! Blow, bugler, blow, until thy silvery notes do touch nnd kiss the moonlit waves that charm the lovers wander ing over hills vine-clad! Yet know ve that your music is all discord com pared to the laugh of a child—that laugh that marks the boundary line between the beasts and men, nnd every wayward wave of which doth drown some fretful friend of care. O, Laughter, rose-lipped daughter of Joy, there arc enough dimples in thy cheeks to catch and hold and glorify all the tears of grief. A Heavenly Display. The Savannah Daily Times says: About the 10th of the present month the earth, in its annual revolu tion around the sun, entered what is commonly known as the ‘‘meteoric belt,” which, being disturbed unus ually by the appearance of mother earth spinning along on her annual pathway, throws out from time to time showers of shooting stars. These meteoric displays, occurring yearly about the time of the feast of St. Lawrence, the martyr—Aug. 12— have been known from time immemo rial as "St. Lawrence’s tears.” The constellation of Perseus is very near the centre of the meteor zone, and if close watch be kept during these sum mer nights in this part of the sky a grand display of heavenly pyrotechnic may lie sent at any moment. Stop the Steal. Few persons have any adequate idea of how rapidly the pension roll of thiscountry is increasing. It will soon swamp the entire revenues of the government as now adjusted. The Constitution, speaking of this start ling increase in the expenses of the government, says: It lias been computed that the an nual cost to the government five years hence on account of pensions will ex ceed the enormous sum of $340,000,- 000—not solely on account ot the fact that pensions are being doubled to individuals, "for service rendered,” but that new individual applications are pouring in on the government every day, and men who never shouldered a musket nor smelt gun- powder during the war are posing as veterans and demanding recognition. Men of nerve, men who will have the manhood to vole down these pen sion steals should be sent to congress. The coumry never needed a Cleveland more than at tins time. He never hesitated to veto these shameless grabs. The Lottery in Politics. If the people of Louisiana do not unite and smash the Louisiana lottery into smithereens, they ought to do so. Speaking of the latest move of this rapacious concern, the Brunswick Times, says: The Louisiana Lottery Company proposes to the Republican leaders that if they will defeat the anti-lotte ry legislation contemplated by Con gress, it will send five Republican members from Louisiana and two from Arkansas to the next House. This it will do, of course, by the use of money. It is a disgrace to the civilization of this country that the Louisiana lottery is permitted to exist. Its corrupting influence is felt in every State, not only in social and commer cial circles, but in political affairs. Unchecked, it will soon become as powerful as the government itself, perhaps more so. Harmony and Good Will. From the Tribune of Home, The recent session of the State Democratic Convention was a remark able one from first to last. It was a business convention, composed of men representing every interest, all work ing for the good of the State and the party. The session was a brief one, the same amount of work being ac complished in one day which usually requires two or three. Every action of the convention was full of harmony and good will. There was earnest ness and enthusiasm exhibited at all times, but ot no time was it more no ticeable than when the idea was stressed that by and through the Democratic party alone must relief come to the masses. The fact was re cognized by all and the determination to adhere strictly to the doctrine of the Democratic party as laid down in the national platform of 1888, was manifestly exhibited. Col. J. (Twaddell. The election of this well known and universally popular Georgian to the presidency of the Stale Agricultural Society was a'dcservcd compliment to the gentleman and a high tribute to his personal worth. He is a fit suc cessor to Mr. Northen, and the long list of distinguished Georgians who have so ably filled the position. We predict for the society under Col. Waddell’s administration enlarged usefulness and an era of prosperity, not excelled by any former adminis tration. South Georgia congratulates the Colonel and will aid in holding up his hands, in his new and responsible position. The Farmers for Gordon. The following resolution was unan imously adopted by the representative farmers ol Georgia, in convention as sembled at I.aGrange, on Thursday: lie*ohrd, That this convention here by most heartily endorses the candida cy of the grand man, for the councils of the nation in the senate ol the United States, the Hon. John. B. Gordon. A Bright Idea. The editor sat on a hard bottom chair trying to think of a thought, and lie plunged all his fingers about through his hair, but not one topic they brought. He had written on temperance, tariff and trade, and the prospects of making a crop, and joked about ice cream and weak lemonade, till his readers had told him to stop. And weary of thinking, sleep came to his eyes and lie pillowed his head on the desk, when the thoughts which awake had rclused to arise, come in troops that were strong and grotesque. And as the ideas airily float, he se lects the bright one of the tribe; and this is the gem which while dreaming he wrote: “Now is the time to sub scribe.—Mattoon Star.

A bunded years ago, when the first federal census was taken, there were only eight cities in the United States which had a population of 8,000 or over; now there are about 340 cities of not less than 8,000 inhabitants. In 1790 the entire population numbered about 3,000,000; now it numbers about 64,000,000/ In 1790 only one out of every thirty of the population lived In citites; in 1810, one out of every twenty; in 1850, one out of every eight; in 1870, one out of every five, and now it is betieved that one out ot every lour lives in cities.—Ex.
