McDaniel’s letter is a most patriotic document, and it will make him the strongest man in the state. He had a fine chance of securing the nomination, but rather than create any distention in his party or embarrass his friends, he withdraws.

Broad .Street, Athens, Gecrgia. m .rchlldltu 2L A Potm Whiih a Fashlsnabls Now York Lady Road at a Reception at Secretary Whitney’s, and Which Offended Some of Tnose Present. From Washington Letter in N. O. Picayune. Mrs. James Brown Potter, well-known in the first circles of New York society, left Washington with s decidedly bitter taste in her mouth. The beautiful wo man has felt her first crumpled rose- leaf and furnished society with some thing absolutely novel in the way ofa sensation during her stay here with M rs. Whitney, wife of the Secretary of the Navy, whose guest Mrs. Potter was, and who gave a musicale for the benefit of the training school for servants. The tickets were three dollars. The musicale be gan at ‘d o’clock at night in Mrs. Whit ney’s hall-room, and the guests were all in full undress. After some music the famous and fair amateur arose and took her stand on the raised dias of the oriel window and recited Geo. R. Sims’ “’Ost ler Joe.’’ George R. Sims wrote “Lights o' Lonfton” and other plays, aud wrote such poems as “Billy’s Rose.” He does work for the London press, particularly such papers as the London Referee, un der the name of **l>agonet." “’Ostler •Joe" is the story of a village beauty, who ran away from her husband anil became the Cora Pearl of London, finally dying an outcast wretch, but found on her death-lied by her faithful Joe, forgiven and dying in his arms. The speaker began in the dead silence of rapturous admiration, but before had spoken twenty words, a terrific change came over the assembly. The men hung their heads, buttoned and un buttoned their gloves, and looked sheep ish; the matrons swelled up like mad turkey-cocks; the half-naked young wo men put their fans before their eyes and peeped through the sticks to see if tho other women noticed how modest they were. The poem, published several months ago in the Picayune,is as follows: OSTLER JOE. 1 *to k1 at t*v* an tbi *ui «r?otdo«ra by a grave **hi*r© a wmna* lit**.

The render finished. There wss an absolute dead silence. Then a feeble applause from some few of the men—and relief came in a burst of music—while the outraged dowagers talked together with the gentlemen over the dreadful occur rence. It was said that Mrs. Potter wss so hurt and so surprised that she almost gave up playing at the public matinee in the “Russian Honeymoon,” and it ia certain that her rather chill re ception on that day waa due to “’Ostler Joe,” which Btuck in the moral craw of society. A truckling Washington editor reminds Mrs. Potter that what is moral for New York may be very immoral for Washington, and warns her not to do it again. As an actress in the “Russian Honeymoon,” a play for amateurs, by Mrs. Burton Harrison—dior all the world like ‘-An Unequal Match,” and others— Mrs. Potter forcibly and continuously re minds one of Mrs. Langtry, with just about the same merits as a professional.

Tho Knights of Labor Forbidden to Enter Polities. x . ’ Philadelphia, Pa., March 9.—Master Workman Powderly, upon being shown a statement published this morning that the Knights of Labor of Illinois had formed a political party, under the aus pices of the order, declared it untrue, and said that if such a thing is attempted by any district or local or state assembly of the Knights of Labor, the charter of the body taking such action will be recalled. The order cannot be turned into a politi cal party. While reform in politics is sought for, it must not come at the ex panse of the order. No district, local or state assembly, of the Knights of Labor, has in it power to declare itself a politi-* cal machine for any purpose. ENSILAGE. The word ensilage is composed of three words, en silo ago, meaning “in pit put” It is the name of any green fodder pack ed in a pit, or in any enclosure above the ground, for preservation either in a sweet, or, as usual, sour condition, which is bet ter liked by cattle and the more health ful for them. On a small scale and in va rious ways it has been produced for hun dreds of years, but Gofiart of France on ly a few years ago constructed pits on a large scale, and by cutting southern com fodder into small pieces not more than an inch long, and packing it closely, de monstrated that two or four cows can be kept the year round upon the proceeds of one acre of corn lands!

Two cemets are bowling along to wards the earth at a pretty rapid fate. They have already been within the range of the astronomers' telescopes for over three months, and within another month or six weeks it is probable that they will burst upon the view of the general public, or, in other words, be come visible to the naked eye. Both comets will come very near the sun. They are now seen by the astronomers in the early evening in the northwest. a negro called Henry Gregory, boy about the same age. The negro boy was flying a kite on New Hous ton street near Masters’ re.ideitce Young Masters was on the stoop looking at him; the negro accused Joseph of wanting the kite, and he replied that he could get a better kite than it if he wanted one. He then cursed young Masters, who could not repeat his language. The negro then picked up a piece of brick and threw at Joseph, hitting him on the head, a little back of the ear. Mrs. Masters, on hearing the dispute, ran out and gathered her boy in her arms. He cried “Oh, mamma!” and died within ten min- utes after being carried in the house. The negro boy ran down Montgomery street, chased by a gentleman in a buggy, and escaped by running into a side gate. The inquest was held the next day and the verdict voluntary and unani mous was rendered against the negro boy, who was not arrested, having been shel tered out of the city the night be fore by parents. Gregory’s people came here Irom Macon, and it was thought he returned to that city to bis grandmother, but he could not he found there. It is supposed he changed his name to Charles alter leaving Savannah. A negro boy named Charles was lynched fttst night at Hardeeville, S. C., for robbing and almost mur dering Mrs. Gideon Sauls. It is supposed tnat he came from Macon originally. He confessed to killing a white boy in Savannah with a brick two years ago. cf guilty al.yh— Yellow gold it»r child and hu»t an —and tka w an ief the •• b* th Home in* eve came lot* the ’•nler with a cheery TT •aiiel’* Kindm that wh.cn blurred forever all the story of hi* life.

Lawrence, Kan., March S.—A day or two since a tarmer, living in the southern part of this county, came into the city with the report that he had discovered a cave on nis farm that was inhabited by prairie wolves, and from what he could find out, they amounted to about 300. He had killed a tew, but they would not come out, and he was afraid to enter the cave. Preparations wore at once made to raid the den. A large party arrived at the place yesterday morning, and turning the dogs loose, one or two of them rushed into the cave, and were at once torn to pieces. A force of men then commenced operations, and in a short time had a hole into the cave back ot the wolves. Two men entered and all the dogs that could be found, and then advanced on tlie rear of the mass of animals, who had by this time assembled in the front part of the cave. The dogs became frightened and beat a retreat, and the men, after firing a few shots,also got out. Alter an all-day’s skirmish,the hunters de cided to make a dash and drive out their prey and kill as many as pos sible. All drew back out of sight from the front, and two men again entered in the rear. This time they succeeded in causing a stampede, and in a short time the cave was empty. The shooters did some good work, and by the time they were through about 100 wolves strewed the ground. The others escaped, and the party returned minus four dogs, but covered with glory. A grand hunt is proposed. It is sup posed that the animals wintered in the cave. A Servant Wltn a Little Hatchet. Chicago Rambler. Biddy—There’s a couple o’ young ladies called. Missus DeVere.

C.,for selling whisky in a dry town,it was developed that a substitute for the Georgia “blind tige” is an institutio- known as “Santa Claus.” The following des cription was iurnished the News and Courier of Charleston: First, a Clorset four times the usual size is made in the corner of a large room. In the wall of this closet an apenditure is cut sufficient to receive a draw tweive inches in width and six inches in depth. A drawer is thus made to slide back and forth in this apartment, and is fastened so that it cannot be pullea entirely out on either side, and is always opened on the out side for the use of patrons. The drawer is what ii called the Santa Claus. The pat ron upon earning into the room sees no one. He puts the money into Santa Claus and tells him what he wants, immediately he slides into the closed apartment, and soon re turns with the whisky or beer or whatever was ordered,with the pro per change, if any is to be made. You cant see who operates this drawer or who sells you the whis ky.

For Senator from the Twenty-seventh Sen. atorl&l District. [Conyers Solid South.) By common consent the time has come lor Rockdale county to furnish the next state Senator. The other counties composing the district ex pect us to present our best man. Among so many able and ercellent men whom shall we choose? There must be no wrangle. Let us unite upon some good man that will be likely to give general satisfaction, lest in presenting a broken front, our righteous claims shall be for feited. By several of our sister counties we have been notified that if we put forvvatd a man unacceptable to them, he will be rejected. This point then must be guarded. To blunder here would fall little short of criminality. Now, after casting round and can vassing the claims of our leading men, the name of the Hon. W. L. Peek stands out conspicuously prominent. At this particular junc ture he seems clearly to be the man around whom we should rally. His eligibility will not be questioned. From past service he is just now ripe for the exalted dignity. We risk nothing in saying that few men within the limits of out territory are so popular in the adjoining counties. His name would there fore be hailed with delight by the delegates in the nominating conven tion. In centering on Peek at home, then, bevond even a shadow of a doubt, Rockdale will -secure the honor of furnishing our next State Senator. In the next place, whiie the name of Col. Peek is a tower of strength abroad, no one has higher claims upon the love and confidence of his people at home. With unwearied diligence and unconquerable energy he has labored for the material, men tal, moral and religious prosperity of our people. With sleepless activity he has guarded every interest committed to his care, ever true to; duty as the needle to the pole. As a statesman in these days of political degenera cy he is a rare phenomenon in the land,'for of him in truth it can be said, “he is an Israelite indeed in whom is no guile.” And then again his high standing and popularity as a Legislator in former General As 8emblies will secure him recognition and position at once in the upper House. Being chairman of the large and intelligent committee on Agriculture, he occupied a promin ent position, and wore the third honor attaching to committees in the House of Representatives. With such marked ability did he conduct the business of his committee, and with such suavity of manner didjtie deport himself towards his co-legis lators, that he won the esteem and hearts of all. Such was his in fluence that it became a common saying, “ Peek can carry any meas ure he proposes.” He wields a powef equally potent in the Slate Agricultural Conventions, as every man knows who has attended thei- assemblies. From the manifest trend of feeling and expression he will be the next president of the State Agricultural Society. Few men have received higher or more well merited complimenta from the press of the State. In conclusion CoL Peek possesses the rare accomplishments of being well versed in the principles and practice of Parliamentary Law. During his last term of service in the Legislature, he frequently pre sided with signal rbility over the House af Representatives. Should he be nominated by the people of Rockdale, it is almost mor ally certain that he will be the pres ident of the next senate. It should not be forgotten that the Colonel is a self-made man. So far from hav ing his brow decked with the bay of the Universities, he nevei so much as received the polish of the in'ermediate schools, yet, by the dint of native talent and unwearied application, he hat both, qualified himself for the best,.society of the land and to fill with efficiency and digpfty th* fitot positionfl ip the gifts fiuence, popularityaWdwOrth' should
