Edwin Booth is much broken in health. His friends attribute his con dition to excessive smoking.

The Times says the city will end the year in magnificient shape finan cially, having 8115,000 in the treasu ry- Parnell seems to be gaining ground. The throwing of lime in his eyes has not only tended to strengthen the or der of his followers, but has created' sympathy for him among his enemies. Before this unhuman act, betting in London was against him at moderate odds, but since Parnell’s’stock is quo ted at par. If the branch colleges are finally sustained and the usual appropria tions secured, they will be largely in. debted to President Mitchell for the result His able speech before the senate and his untiring labors for these institutions with the members of both houses, has greatly reduced the opposition, and whether the house finally concurs with the senate in giving the usual support to the exist ing branches or cuts them off. Mr. Mitchell has done his whole duty and is entitled to the gratitude, not only of his own constituency, but of tbo friends of education throughout the state. Rain on Indian River. A cot respondent of the Times-Un- ion, Jacksonville, writing from Tropic, a village on Indian River, says: The heaviest rainfall ever known here fell on the 14th inst. No meas- urments were taken, but open vessels of all kinds sitting out were filled to overflowing. Thousands of tomato plants were ‘completely covered with sand and the truckers here are very busy for the last two days scratching them out. Our Editor in Asheville. The Asheville* Daily Citizen, in speaking ol the members of the press in-attendance upon the convention, says:J John Triplett, from the Georgia press association, left the following on The Citizen’s editorial desk this morn ing: “From the land of sun to the land of snow.” It seems that John was even more fortunate than Bill Nye on his first vis it to Asheville in search of climate. He found it without any trouble. In relation to John’s card the Citi zen adds: “But all Georgia is white to day— and not with cotton either.” The Citizen is mistaken, so far as South Georgia is concerned. Ice has not been formed in this section this win ter, and there are scores of school chil dren here who never saw the beauti ful snow. Kansas City Recommended. Charleston, S.O., Dec. 18.—Kan sas City has been recommended by the advisory council as the next place tor the annual meeting of the American Public Health association, 'which is now in session here. Our Senator. As every bedy at home knew would always be the case, where the interests of his constituents wers at stake, President Mitchell was ready for the coutest in the senate over the appro priation for the branch colleges, and nobly did his part as a faithful and able representative. The Constitu tion says: Senator Mitchell made another masterly argument in favor of the branch colleges. “I will support all these amend ments,’’ said lie, “but I doubt the con stitutionality of establishing a branch college simply by a clause in the no- propiiation bill. We can make these appropriations for public institut'ons already established; hut a branch college must he established, I think, as ali JJtheee others were, by special act.” The Macon Telegraph says : The p lesident, for the fust time, addressed the senate at length, resign ing the chair to Mr. Walker in order that he might take up the cudgels in support of the colleges. His idea was that the branch colleges did the masses more good than the university, and it would he better to kill the mother than her useful oflspring. The amount asked for the support of the branches was nothing ns compared with the enormous amount appropri ated to common schotjs. He proposed to amend the branch college clause by adding the proviso that no such institution be permitted to charge more than $10 per year or 85 a term for tuition. As citizens of Thomas county, we were greatly gratified at the election of Mr. Mitchell to (be presidency of the SeDnte, and feel pride in the fact that on every proper occasion he has shown himself so fully worthy of the high position. We say most heartily “well done, jgood and faithful ser vant.” Private advice from Atlanta would indicate that senator Mitchell’s amend ment, will secure the annual appro priation for the branch colleges. The general public will owe him a debt of gratitude for his unselfish efforts in behalf of the education ot the people. It is a vahmblo qualifi cation for a legislator to know wbat to do, and how to do it. Mr. Editor:—When the great question of supporting the branch col leges, bv the regular annual appropri ation was being voted upon in the House of Representatives, the names of Ivey and Parker the members from this county do not appear. There may be some good reason for the conspicuous absence of these gen tlemen. The people of this county in order to secure a branch college here, paid eleven thousand dollars to hr ng it about. I hope our representatives do not mean to go back on their constituents. I voted for both these gentlemen, and why have they not like Senator Mitch ell stood up to the their people? Voter The Branch Colleges. The Senate stands by the existing branch colleges and has passed the original appropriation bill, with Mr. Mitchell’s amendment which provides as follows: To State university, for support aud maintenance of the branch col lege, at Dahloncga, 83,000; branch college at Milledgeville, $2,000; branch college at Thomasville, 82,- 000; branch college at Cuthbert, 82,- 000; branch college at Hamilton, 82,- 000. Provided, that none ol said branch colleges under any pretext whatever, whether os tuition, matriculation fee, incidental expenses or otherwise, shall charge exceeding the sum of 810 per year or 85 per term for each pupil; provided further, that any of said branch colleges charging nn amount in excess of amount above provided for shall forfeit the whole amount of the appropriation for the year in which said excess of charges shall be made, and the governor shall withhold his warrant upon the treasury for the rame. But for Mr. Mitchell’s amendment and his manly fight for them, it is more than probable that the branches would have been cut of. The hill will find strong opposition in the House, but it is hoped that there arc enough friends to education among its members to finally secure the pas sage of the bill. FTTKUITURB1, <3-EO. W.
