The latest New York kick develops as follows: MIDDLE—FREUND—The engage’ ment of Miss Eva Freund to Mr. Simon M. Middle has been declared off. The above brief advertising notice appeared in a New York journal Thursday. The announcement the date at which people come into the world and go out ol it, when they are engaged and when they get mar ried or divorced, is a usual newspaper item. The announcement of broken engagements may sometimes prove a little embarrassing; bnt if it should become customary it would save a great deal of laborious explanation:— Ex. , majority vote to take favorable tories o> .Ok'ahoma, Utah aud New Mexico, but left Arizona in the cold. This result was not atiaioed until after prolonged discussion. The evurus was called in pursurar.ee of a request signed by Senator Dubois and several and was devoted entirely to a discus sion of the proposition to admit these territories to statehood. In the meantime the appropriation bills, which have .the right of way, will begin to make their appearance, and will command the attention ofihe sen ate. Ii will thus be seen that the chances for discussion of the bills to admit these territories is very slim, and the. eastern senators who gave their a^s-nt.to the caucus program very leluctaully, have no hesitancy in saying that no action will btf taken during this session ot congress wbats ever. .

Macon, Jan, 23.—-Justice Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar.died here at 8:50 o’clock to-night. It is a ter rible shock to the community. His death was sudden in the extreme, tor although hi has been ailiog for some time, Justice Lamar appeared to be gradually gaining in health. He came from Washington to Macon about month ago and has been visiting at the residence of W. fi. Vugia, in Yine- vihe, a suburb ot this city.

Justice Lamar’s life began Georgia and his distinguished ances try make a part of her history. ‘‘Around his name is early man hood were clustered the hopes ot onr people, and they have naturally fol lowed his career with the deep inter est that would attach to a career so lustrous, to brilliant, so exceptionally beneficial to his country.

Smart lawyers are continually taking advantage of the law to shield open Violators oi the law, and judges per mit it. A lot ot sensible men, who don’t know a mandamus from nebular hypothesis, should be elected judges, with instructions to laugh at the shystering practitioners when they tried to shield “well known criminals.” A tittle more justice and a little less law is needed in the crim. inal courts of the country.—Kansas City Star.

We take the following from the Atlanta Journal: “There may yet be a home founded in Georgia for the aged and needy veterans of the war of the confederacy. Colonel Lowndes Calhoun has a plan in view whereby the old soldiers may yet be given a home. He was discussing the matter yesterday with Dr. Amos Fox. “Sup pose,” said the colonel, “we can sell the home for $120,000. We could then secure a tract of cheap land somewhere and erect a small, com fortable building suitable for a home, for $20,000.
