Twill be Cleveland in 1892. Mark
it.
Floods of new tills are pouring in:o
the house and senate.
It is the custom now to kick grand
pa’s hat around: Poor Harrison,
The Columbus Exposition has been
a big success. It is the way Colum
bus has of doing things.
Danville, Indiana, boasts of a man
who weighs 907 lbs. He is about as
large as the democratic majority in
the couniry.
The Valdosta Times, says:
Poston has drawn the co'or line, and
declares that Ethiopean damsels can-
■ not enter the New England conserva
tory of music.
The stockholders of the Adams Ex
press Co. held its annual meeting in
New York yesterday and resolved to
have nothing to do with lotteries by
carrying money or drawings or tickets.
Coffins, under the McKinley bill,
have advanced. That bill taxes the
poor while living, and pursues the
dead down into their graves. No won-
dsr the country has gone democratic
from “eend to eend.”
Can I leave some tracts here ? in*
quired the caller. You can if you
want to, replied the dejected womatr
with the baby in her arms, but it won’t
do any good. We’re getting ready to
' move to Arkansaw.
Col. Ingersoll predicted ten years
ego that by this time two theatres
would be built for one church. Chap*
lain McCabe, of the Methodist persua
sion, remindel him the other day,
saying: "The time is up; the Metho
dists arc now building four churches
every day—one every six hours.
Please venture another prediction for
the year 1900.”
The State Geologist of New Jersey
says the coast of the state is sinking
at the rate of at least two feet in a cen
tury. Other observers hold that the
rate is much more rapid.
It would be a positive loss to the
democratic parly, if New Jersey should
sink out of sight.
We hope New Jersey will keep her
head above water until afier 1892.
Knew Too Much: Intelligent Com-
positor-That new reporter spells ’vict
uals’ ‘v-i-t-a-l-s.’ Foreman—Yes, he’s
fresh; mak’er right, and drum’r in
here; want to go to press in just three
minutes. And this was what the pub
lic read when the paper was issued:
The verdict of the coroner’s jury was
that the deceased came to his death
from the effects of a gunshot wound
in the vituals.
Hints from Brown-Sequard.
Dr. Brown-Sequard, in one of his
lectures, with reference to a check on
sneezing, coughing, etc., says:
"Coughing can be stopped by press
ing on the nerves on the lip in the
neighborhood ol the hose. Sneezing
may be stopped by the same mechan
ism. Pressing in the neighborhood of
ear, right in front of the ear, may stop
coughing. It is also of hiccoughing,
but much less so than for sneezing or
coughing. Pressing very hard on the
top of (he mouth inside is also a
means of stopping coughing, and
many say that the will has immense
power.
A Tribute to Cleveland.
At the Thurman banquet, the chair
man thus alluded to Grover Cleve
land :
We have with us civillians and war
riors, congressmen, senators and gov
ernors ; we have with us young men
with their ardor and strength ; old men
with their recoll^ions and traditions
from the days of^efferson and Jack-
son, and we have with us that other
man who completes the American tri
umvirate ot Democratic Presidents
[applause], who has done more than
any other American to instill in the
hearts of the people the sacredness
and holiness of an oath of public of
fice, that man who not only proved that
he would rather be right than Presi
dent, but who as President has been
brave enough and strong enough to
rul ■ in behalf of our whole people, and
not of a par y or class. ['"beers and
applause].
Neither the Queen o( England, he
Emperor of Germany nor the Czar of
all the Russians, nor the king ofking 1 ,
the emperor of emperors, the czar ot
czars, nor the American people can
confer upon him an official place tow
ering higher than his ability and his
merits. Words need not be multipli
ed; there is no language so expressive
of his honor as his own name—Gro
ver Cleveland [prolonged cheers and
app’ause]. Such, JudgeJThurman, is
the presence and digni y of the hour.
Gentlemen, if our cuthusiasm seems
great bear in mind we are in the pres
ence of a heroic character. We arc
beholding the sunset cd a litc that is
dropping low upon the Western hori
zon—going down in a splendor and
magnificence that would have been
too much to his honor for Napoleon
or Ctesar; and now once more let me
repeat the echo that comes from every
hillside and cove, from ocean to
ocean.
"A rarer spirit never did steer hu
manity. He only in general honest
thought and com non good to all,
made one ol them. His life was gen
tle, and the elements were so mixed in
him that nature might stand up and
say to all the world, this is a man ;
this is the noblest Roman efthem all.”
[Prolonged cheers.]
Mrs. Mary E- Bryan. •
The following notice of this South
ern authoress will be read with inter*
est by her South Georgia friends:
Mary E. Bryan, now editing Mon
roe’s periodicals, was bora in Florida.
She is a pretty woman with dark eyes
and a slender figure. She talks as well
as she writes. She writes rapidly and
does not revise or copy. Calling upon
her one night at 8 o’clock I found she
had still to write twenty-seven pages
of foolscap upon a continued story and
have it done the next morning. The
matter was ready for the press at 8
a. m.
Mrs. Bryan has written murii cred
itable verse, and she recites her poems
with fine effect. She has written sev
eral novels and one play. “Uncle
Ned’s White Child” is her last book.
It is full of interest, and could only
have been written by one familiar
with the old down south negro folk.
Her first novel was written in Louisi
ana with her baby in her arms. She
did her cooking, washing and ironing
at the time. The sale of the book
brought a harvest which placed the
author in competence. One who knew
of the difficulties under which Mrs.
Bryan has sometimes performed her
literary work said of her, ‘‘She writes
on a clothesline in a high wind.”
lake all the rest of her southern
literary sisters she lias her own home,
and her pretty flat in Fourteenth
street is the coterie of intellectual
friends. She is chairman of literature
of Sorosis, and is one of the vice pres
idents of the Woman’s Press Club, of
New York.
How it Works.
"The marriage ceremony practiced
by the people of Borneo is very short
and simple. Bride and groom are
brought out before the assembled
tribe with great solemnity and seated
side by side. A betel nut is then cut
in two bv the medicine woman of the
tribe and one half is given to the bride
and the other half to the groom. They
begin to chew the nut; and then the
old woman, after some sort of incanta
tion, knocks their heads together and
they are declared man and wife.”
After the ceremony they knock each
others head.

Victory for Georgia Pino-
Georgia pine lias now another vic
tory. Its fame has been world-wide
for a century. Its value is growing
everyday. In style and finish it
ranks with walnut and the finest on!;,
and its use in ship building lias been
tested on every sea. Mr. Courtenay
DeKalb, who lias lately had occasion
to ascend the Amazon some 1)000
miles to the head of steamboat navi
gation, declares that the steamboat
Las been in active service in that most
trying clime tor twenty-three years.
She was built in Philadelphia, the
same timber is used upon her now,
and she is as found as any English
vessel which has been in the valley of
the Amazon seven years, it Las been
a tradition in tropical couutric-s that
none but an English vessel would
hold together under the severe tests
to which the heat and moisture of
such climates subject them. One
reason assigned for this is that they
employ terk, au East Indian wood un
obtainable by Americans; blit in the
face of all this exists the fact that, the
oldest boat on the Amazon was built
in the United States, and that, with
the exception of her ir m hull, the
material used in her construction was
none other than Georgia pine (i'i.iifi
jxilurtri*, known iu various sections
ot the country as yellow, hard or
long-leaved pine), which, by reason
of being so heavily charged with
pitdddhos been found to last three
times os long as teak.
This is a very important and inter
esting fact, for there is probably no
more trying climate in the world than
that of the Amazon, and our Georgia
pine can be furnished at much less
cost than teak iu all countries, and
probably could compete in price with
it on the seashore of that country in
quantities large enough to freight a
vessel.—Augusta Chrouicle.
Bonbons of Courtship.
It is a popular fiction that a girl
can marry a man without, as the say
ing is, marrying his family. It is not
true. Sometimes a grape does spring
from a thorn, and a pure, temperate
son descends from a vile, sinful father.
Ilis mother’s blood, perhaps, lias sav
ed hinu Still, in marrying this man
you marry the soiled Atmily record,
and must, to some extent, share in
the suflering caused by his father’s
sins. Heredity wo may or may not
believe in, but we have all seen char
acteristics pass one generation by, to
appear in greater strength in the next.
You ruu the risk thou, even if your
husband is all that lie should be, of
being an unhappy,auxious mother. In
respect to disease and insanity the
same law obtains. I am not speaking
in favor of the selfish, mercenary
marriage, but I am advocating the
intelligent counting of the cost before
the contract is signed. Parents who
would lie shocked at tlicir daughter’s
choosing, us an intimate friend, a girl
whose antecedents they knew nothing,
do not always refuse to allow that
■Slime daughter to marry a man whose
family they meet for the first time at
the wedding.
It is otic thing to entertain an im
maculately attired caller who brings
bonbons i*«. otic hand and roses in the
other, and quite another to sec him
oil-guard with his brothers and sisters
iu his environment, not the one your
parents’ culture and success have giv
en you. He docs not seem like a
stranger iu hour home, aud you might
never be anything but an alien iu his,

The Americas Daily l imes says :
"Great Scott! Tat Calhoun the Sen-
itor of an order organized to fight mo

in the General Assembly will protect
Georgia from that.”
