It In true that several road conventions have been held in Georgia, that the need tor bet ter roads has beeu widely discussed in the local press, and that some interest has been aroused. But it can hardly be said that the people have grown' very enthusiastic on the subject,- and what enthusiasm thdy have had has so far resulted only in talk and not in any definite general movement for the improvement o! our country highways.

Cleveland to be Busy- Lakewood, N.

Thus far most of my timo has been devoted to inter views which have been by no means unpleasant nor unprofitable, but other things are now pressing upon me which require my uninterrupted con sideration. I wish, therefore, you would say for me through the press that I shall be at my office in New York every day with perhaps one exception,. during the week com mencing with Jan. 30 and that after Feb 4,1 shall, remain at Lakewood, where I hope to be undisturbed in the work which will imperatively demand my attention.

He has been more or less prominent for years in the poli tics of the state, and at one time was talked of as good gubernatorial mate rial. He is a lawyer oi considerable though not extraordinary ability, a speaker of some eloquence, and, all circumstances taken into account, will be regarded probably by the people at large as a fairly satisfactory choice, some of his party followers believe him to be a man of brilliant power, and men of all parties concede bis honesty.” Ho Smoked Cigarettes.

Mr. Blount, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, declines to express an opin ion until farther investigation. The senate has grappled-with the question very promptly. -Mr. Chandler offered the follow ing reeolution and asked immediate action upon it: '•Resolved, By the senate, the house of repraentativea concurring, that the President be requested to enter into negotiations with the pres ent provisional government of tbejate kingdom of Hawaii for the admission of the islands as a territory into the United States and to lay any conven tion which he may make before con gress for ratification by legislation.” The question of annexation is the all absorbing one in Washington. Lively Times Ahead in Georgia. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun, dis> cussing the possibilities in the senato rial race, has the following: “If he recovers his health, Senator Colquitt will hardly resign the prire without a desperate struggle lo retain it. Governor Northen’s friends are already talking to him in connection with the stnatorship, and while noth ing has been heard from the governor on the subject, if it develops tint he has aspirations in that direction no body will be surprised. Another name prominently mentioned is that of Speaker Crisp. No intimation of his intentions have been given to the public, but it is not unlikely that he would be willing to leave the speaker's chair ot the fifty third congress for a seat io the United States senate from Georgia. If the entries should be DuBignon, Northen and Crisp, as some shrewd politicians appear to think, it will be a battle of giants, and Georgia will be involved ic a senato rial cimpaign such as has not been witnessed in many years.” Wait until Bacon, DuBignon, Blount, Turner, Atkinson, Clay, Black, and a few others enter the race, aDd you will see lively times in Geor gy. Wanamaker’s Stamp. A great deal of fun is made of Wanamaker’s new Columbian postage stamp, which is twice as large as the stamp used heretofore. The best sug gestion to date, which has not yet been cancelled, is that these stamps might be used by the frosted dudes for chest protectors. Wanamaker thinks the government will make a million and a half dollars on this style ot stamps from collectors who will buy them as “souvenirs.” As was well said upon the floor of congress, this is a small business for a big government to engage in.—Ex. Martin’s Certificate. Topeka, Kan., Jan." 30.—Senator Gorman has sent a private message to Gov. Levelling which was over 1,000 words in length. Among other things he gave a form of ccnificatp of elec- tion to be giveo to Senator-elect John Martin. Messages have lor several days been flying thick and fast be tween Senator_porman, John Martin and Gov. Lewelliog regarding the matter of seating the new Kansu senator. Senator Martin will start for Washington next Wednesday. It is well known that difleronocs be tween these companies have been the cause of great embarrassment to both; and lutve proven stumbling blocks in the way of the reorganization of the Central. Those in a position to know say that some assurance will be given the Ter minal people that their interests. will not be ignored in the new deal and tho Terminal people havo even -de clared that if their property was pro tected they would aid rather than hinder the reorganization. It is even said that the Louisville and Nashville, which baa been look' ing for some timo favorably npon the Central railroad properties, might in tervene to adjust tho differences bo- tween the Central and BichmondTer. minal.

Some confusion has ensued by changing the meeting place of the State Agricultural Society from Co lumbus to Augusta. Col. Felton has explained the reason tor the change, in an interview: Said Colonel Felton: “The news- papers have a wrong idea of the en tire matter. It haB always been customary for the railroads to grant free passes to the members of the so ciety to and from the city where the annnal convention is held. It is trne that Columbus was first selected as the place for holding the convention, bat on inquiry and investigation it was learned that the Central road was' the only line that would give p Columbus. President Waddell notified the members of the executive committtee of the society of this fact, and asked tkeir opinion about dung ing the convention from Columbus to Augusta if the railroads leading in the latter place would grant free passes to' members. The committee authorized President Waddell to do what he thought best President Waddell soon learned that all the railroads leading to Augusta were willing to grant free passes, and the change in the placo oi bolding the convention was then made from Co lumbus, February 8tb, to Augnsia, February 15th.”. Future Electric Railways. In a recent issue ol the New York Times we find the following para, graph: •Austria announces an electric lo comotive which is 10 travel ra5 miles hour. The independence Bicge follows with the statement that the North Belgian Company and the North France Company are construct ing a line for locomotives operated by electricity, on which the jouroey Irom Brussels to Paris, about qne hundred and ninety-two miles, wilt be accom plished in eighty minutes—a speed of nearly one hundred and fifty miles an hour. It is further stated that the trains will be running in about two months.” Electricity is the coming power; nay, it has already come, and come to slay. Blaine’s Will- Washington, Jan. 31.—The will of Mr. Blaine will be probated in August, Me, which was his legal resi dence. The disposition he makes of his property is characteristic of the confidence he always reposed in his wife, and which was such a noticeable feature of the family relations Every thing is left unreservedly to Mrs. Blaine; she to be sole executrix of the instrument, and is not required to give any bond. Mr. Blaine’s estate, according lo the estimate of a gentle man whose relations with him enable him to speak with correctness, will amount to about $800,000. • To Meet af Augusta. Augusta, Ga., Jan. 30.—Mayor Alexander received a letter from Pres ident Waddell of the State Agricultur- at Society ttMlay, accepting the city’s invitation to hold’the spring conven tion in Augusta.

Imagine an ocean waste about as vast in expanse as the whole continent of North America. Within this area, north of the equator and between America and Asia, the Hawaiian group of eight inhabited islands is the only land. They are directly in the track of vessels sailing from our western ports. They are tho natural rendezvous lor coal and supplies of the trading vessels of threo continents •America, ABia and Australia, Besides tho harbor at Honolulu, ten miles away is Pearl Harbor, a for tified United States naval station, which by the removal of a coral reef could by. nudo one of the most spaci ous harbors in the world. Tho en trance to This harbor is such that the trade winds would facilitate the en- trance and departure of ships under sail. As a station for submarine telegraphs to connect the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, and OS a relay pert for Atlantic commerce upon the completion ot the Nicaraguan Canal, these islands have long claimed special attention. All travelers agree that the sun shines upon no more lovely land; and In overy point of climate and fertility of production Hawaii deserves the name of "The Paradise of the Pacific.” To this enticing pictnrer there are but few shadows. The existence leprosy is one. Whether this most dreadful otall disease be ot climatic or racial origin soienoe has not yet determined; arid it does not claim to have found-a remedy—isolation being almost the only treatment With rarer exceptions, persons oi northern birth and lineage do not become afflicted with it Another drawback is the large number of Chinese—14,580 out ot a total population of 90,000. But this objection partakes of a political chare acter, and may, therefore, be left to the consideration of onr statesmen at Washington. Tho above taken from the Phila delphia Record will, in view of the question of annexation, bo read with general interest Home Rule. England is again confronted With the boms rule issue. Mr. Gladstone has devised it. Will it pass? Aye; there’s the rub. It may be squeezed through parliament under too leader ship of the “Grand Old Man,” but it will more than likely strike a snog in the home of lords. The Queen’s address at the open ing of parliament yesterday contained the following allusion to it: A bill will be submitted to you on the earliest available occasion amend the provisions for the govern ment of Ireland. - This bill has been prepared with a desire to afford con tentment to the Irish people, to afford relief to parliament and to furnish additional securities for the strength and union of the empire." The Philadelphia Record makes this-point against compulsory educa. tion : Those who so strenuously in sist upon compulsory education might have a clause inserted in the mar. riage service to bind married couples at the autstart to send all the children they might be blessed with to the State school^ If it be the duty of the State to force education upon the children reared within its limit, it might as well begin at the beginning. Parents would then know what they had to expect; and if they should go one step further, and ask the State to feed and clothe jheir progeny, the reasons that justify compulsory educa. tion would also justify compulsory breeches and bread and butter.

Hicks for February: February.—Secondary disturbances existing at the-opening of the month end in cold 1st and 2nd. - Warmer about the 5th, with rain and snow to 7th.

Washington, Feb. 1.—Members of tha senate judiciary. committee who have been inquiring as TO the President’s selection of a successor to Justice Lamar believe that Circuit Judge Don A. Pardee of New Orleans has been determined on. It is under stood from them that the nomination of Judge Pardee has been made out at the department of justice by direc tion of the President, and that unless the President changes his mind it will bo sent to the senate within the next few days. The only thing in the way seems to be the selection of Judge Par dee’s successor, The President said to believe that Judge Pardee will be confirmed if nominated. The new justices of the peace are getting in their work, as the following from the Constitution will show: newly-appointed Georgia justice was presiding in a case where a man was up fur beating his wife. The attorney for the man saw that the jus tice knew nothing about the law and so informed him. “Mr. Bailiff,” said the justice, laying down his brass- rimmed spectacles rather heavily, “take the lawyer to jail for ten days, give the woman a divorce, lick the husband and bring in a |jug ol liquor!

Several early callers failed to see him, as lie had no time to talk. An effort was made to get from him an expression of opinion upon tbe question of the proposed Hawaiian annexation audhis atten tion was. called to the fact that Com missioner Castle, from the islands, had intimated that he believed that Mr. Cleveland was inclined to regard fa- vorab'y the proposals Commissioner Castle brought to this government.
