The November olections will fix the complexion of the next congress. If the democrats carry the house, and the chances are that they will, Char ley Crisp, of Georgia, will be the next Speaker. The Southern Express Company wdl make a fight for Rube Buttons property. He is said to have left about $20,000 worth of real estate in Ala bama. This was willed to his chil dren. She had sent off a telegram and was waiting for an answer. Suddenly the peculiar halting click of the receiving machine sounded in the office and she said to her companion; “That’s from George, I know. I can tell his stut ter.” »_ The McKinley tariff excludes for eign goods, although they can be bought cheaper by the laboring class cs, in order that a few manufacturers in this country may grow rich. These latter are piling up millions at the ex pense of consumers. The republicans ignore the notto: the greatest good for the greatest number. The Enquirer Sun says that it every planter would use eight yards of bag ging for covering and side strips, and make the bales only 450 pounds, in stead of 500, it would make a differ ence of 15 per cent in the number of bales marketed, and make $1.66 more than is now paid for each bale. The sum total in a crop of 7,000,000 bales, would amount to $1,743,000, enough, as the Enquirer-Sun says, “to begin a little sub-treasury of their own.” Jit Is now positively known that the engagement between Miss Winnie Davis and Mr. Wilkinson, of Syracuse, N. Y. is broken off. Mr. Wilkinson, in a breif interview, says the engage ment was declared off on account of the failing health of the young lady. She went to Europe last year, hoping her health would be restored, but it is said she received little or no benefit from her stay abroad. The matter is purely a personal one, and the news papers should not be dragging the af fair before the public, in such sensa tional style, as some of ■ them have done. — —• . We have a communication from an anonymous source, criticising the absence of signs to mark the streets. Our correspondent is mistaken about several streets bearing the same name. Thu is not the case. In the main the complaints are well founded. The streets should be marked so that strangers could find their way about the town with more facility. The writer concludes thus: “Label your street corners, so that even a stranger can find his way about your sizable town, readily and correctly, and do you know this adds not a little to impress strangers that a placo is of some consequence—even if it doesn’t have street cars ? It gives ajmetropolitan air to a place, you know, and impresses one as not being in a country town.” Little Giffln of Tennessee. Among the exquisite war poems still .extant is the one with the above Utfoj by Dr. F. O. Ticknor, of Co lumbus, Ga. It is a beautiful tribute to a soldier boy, a boy in years, but a man in action. The heroism and devotion of the privates in the late war has never been properly appre ciated. Writers, as a rule, are in clined to laud the epeauletted officers. Dr. Ticknor has rescued ono private, the Tennessee boy, %pm oblivion. Hero are the verses: Out of the focal and foremost fire, • Out ol the hospital walls as dire, (Eighteenth battle and he sixteen !) Little Giffin of Tcnnessco. •Take him and welcome," the surgeon said, “Much your doctor can help the dead.” And so we took him and brought him where The halm was sweet on the summer air, And we laid him down on a wholesome hsd, Utter Lnisarus.

His Faith Failed Not. An old darkey, who waaln the hab it of teaching a class of unregenerate boys, had a wean trick played upon him recently. The boys pasted the leaves of the .well worn biblo together, thus breaking the connection of the atory of the ark. Unconscious of He Went.

A Missouri Judge’s Special Charge New Yore, Oct. 14.—A Special from Kansas City, Mo., says: When the Circuit Court convened in criminal session at Lexington, Mo., yesterday, Judge Ryland, in making his charge to the grand jury, ordered them espec ially to investigate the reports that games of cards for money, known as progressive euchre and high, five euchre, were indulged in at private res idences.
