The left arm of Emperor William II
is withered, owing to a prolonged
pressure on the nerves of the arm dur
ing birth. The muscles of the arm
were paralyzed and became wasted
from lack of use. The responsibility
for this rests with the German doctors
and hence the Empress Victoria’s dis
trust of native talent.

One of the greatest obstacles in the
way of planting the seeds of civiliza
tion in Central Africa are the terrible
outrages committed by tribes of plun

is no uncommon thing, explorers say,
to find a town of 5<HK) quiet and hard
working inhabitants, and on the next
visit to see nothing hut ruined huts,
the jx-ople having lieen killed or caje
tured by these children of Ishmcel.
The college authorities should take
some decided steps to preserve Wtter
order at Commencement. The greater
part of the audience was quiet and
anxious to hear the shaking; but
around the door and hall there was a
“turbulent mob” that distracted eve
rybody. They should cither be re
quired to be quiet or kept from the
chapel. The noise, on many occasions,
was enough to disgust speaker and
audience.
COLLEGE ATHLETICS.
As the University is fresh in our
memory, and as the Board of Trustees
meets again soon, we would urge the
imjKirtanee of greater attention to
physical training.
I The Harvard Faculty Committee on
Athletics and Physical exercise mnde
a rcjwirt recently which develops in
teresting facts:
“The returns show the habits of
more than a thousand (one thousand
and twenty-one) students. Of these
about a hundred lielong to teams of
one kind or anothor and may lie
classed as athletes. About three hun
dred strive to excel in some sjiort,
train with the teams and compete in
college contests. Six hundred or more
exercise with no intention of compet
ing in contests. Out of the thousand
and twenty-one men reporting, only
sixteen replied that they took no ex
ercise at all.
Three-fourths of the students take
more than one form of exercise. Some
take half a dozen. The average is
about three kinds. The gymnasium
is the most popular. • Besides those
going to it occasionally, more than six
hundred use it regularly. Next in
popularity comes walking, and after
that lawn tennis, the former being
done l.y six hundred and thirty men
and the latter being played by six
hundred. Baseball is a favorite w ith
three hundred.”
The great majority of students
(al suit eight hundred out of a thousand)
give from one to three hours a day to
exercise. The average time is about
an hour and twenty minutes.
\\ hat effect has this exercise on the
health, studies and morals of the stu
dents’.' Wholesome, says the com
mittee. “The average strength of
students and the perfection of their
physical development have greatly in-
reased during ten years.
As to the effect on scholarship, the
report says that the standard of schol
arship has risen with the increase of
athletics. While athletes have won
college honors the fourteen men who
take no exercise are reported Inflow
the average of scholarship.
As to morals, the Gommittec is sat
isfied, “that the sports have in the
main a good moral intiucnce upon
those who take part in them.” Let
some of the resident trustees who
have manifested such a deep interest
in the University, bring the matter
before the Board, in October anil re
quest the establishment of a gym
nasium.
MANUFACTURERS DtMAND REDUC
TION.
It is thought by some that South
ern manufacturers are in favor of the
present high tariff.
The reverse is true. It is recog
nized that the surplus of our manu
factured goods must seek foreign mar
kets, and in order that they may suc
cessfully compete in those markets,
the tariff on the raw materials, espe
cially. must he reduced; so that the
cost of the finished product will lie
lessened.
After advocating a fair protection
to home industries, and showing that
the Mills hill provides this amply, Mr.
(’has. Estes, of Augusta, writes :
"It is a fact, beyond dispute, that
the cotton manufacturers especially,
make more goods than will supply our
own sixty-live millions, and have to
sink a foreign market. It is also a
fact that same of the mills in this
city, and MMcially the one that the
writer of th.a represents, has, for sev
eral years, sold from a quarter to a
third of ite product to China. Africa,
etc., at hotter prices than could he ob
tained of our own “sixty-lire million”
for the reason that the supply for the
“sixty-five million” is, and was greater
than the demand.
“Now, if we had only the “sixty-
five million” to buy our goods very
many of the mills would have to cease
their operations, if confined to the
home market only. Their profits
would he reduced, which would natu
rally tend to cutting d iwn wages as a
temporary relief, hut this would he
only temporary, and would lie a dam
age to lioth labor and capital, would
finally end in bankruptcy of the man
ufacturers and non-employment of the
hiliorcrs.”
In England a man may call himself
almost anything he pleases and no
body will object. For something like
thirty shillings he may advertise in
the Times the taking of a new name,
and thereafter he will be John Jones
or William Smith, just as he prefers.
There ia little or no litigation over ti
tles or names, which are really no
where of less importance. A man
may call himsolf Lord So-and-8o, and,
though he may he laughed at about
the clubs, nobody will taketho trouble
ALUMNI REUNION-
As was noticed in our issue of yes
terday. 12tli inst., the Alumni Society
of the University adopted resolutions
calling for a reunion, in Athens, of all
alumni during next Ccmnincecment.
It is now over a hundred years since
the legislature granted the charter of
the University and there are alumni
of all ages throughout Georgia and in
almost every part of the South, who
will take delight in returning to
Athens to participate in a centennial
celebration. Our council heartily ap-
proved thy idea, and with the citizens,
will take delight in entertaining this
notable gathering of men.
The press of the State are requested
to publish the resolutions, and are cor
dially invited to attend the reunion.
A correspondent of the Evening
Bulletin writes to that paper to con
tradict the current statement that cx-
Senator Harrison, the Republican
nominee for the Presidency, is de
scended either from Major General
Harrison, of Cromwell’s army, wlm
was among those who signed the
death warrant of Charles I, or from
the Indian maiden Poclmliontas. 7.he
writer, who seems to speak by the
card, shows conclusively that the Re
publican nominee for the Presidency
is a descendant of a Virginia ancestor
who was a patentee of land in that
colony in 1(215, fourteen years In-fore
the regicide figured so prominently
in English history.
A number of counties in this sec
tion pro)wise making exhibits at the
N. E. Ga. Fair. With concert of ac

distributed a thousand premium lists.
Many a sturdy farmer and industrious
matron are now preparing the pro
ducts of their skill with which to cap

The reverend and beloved Dr. A. A.
Lipscomb paid us n visit yesterday.
Though his step is feeble, his grasp
is as warm and his heart os youthful

profound and courteous, his name

noblest sons.
Mr. E. F. Cragin, a Chicago Repub

At a meeting of the representatives
of the Knights of Labor and trades
unions of Indiana in Indianapolis,
the other day, it was cstimstsd that
at least 80 per CjiiiL of the labor vote
of Indiana will be given to Cleveland
and Thurman.
Mr. J. L. Hardeman’s address be
fore the literary societies, in which
he entered a plea tor the practical
training at girts, is attracting atten
tion throughout the State. It was an
eloonent address, and the subject is
well worth careful thought

FARMERS’ALLIANCE-
The Farmers’ Aliiance is ex
tending rapidly in this sec
tion. There arc a number
of clubs in almost all of
the surrounding counties, and
the membership is of fine
material. If the Alliance adheres
to its purposes, of the education of
the fanners, the improvement of so
ciety ami mutual aid in buying and
selling, much benefit can be derived.
The danger in all such organizations
is that designing members eudeavor
to use them to promote selfish politi
cal ends. This is to be carefully
guarded against, and tlie officers, es
pecially, should.be of the highest cliar-
uelzr; men who will have only the
good of the order at heart. The
HAPPINESS AT HOME.

from all parts of the land?" "At

the angel of health is ever stirring tlie
watere. But, my friends, the largest
multitude nro at home, detained bv
business or circumstances. Among
them all newspaper men, the hardest
worked and the least couqicnsatcd; city
railroad employes, and ferry masters,
mill the police and the tens of thousands
of clerks and merchants waiting for their
turn or absence, ami households with an
invalid who cannot lie moved, and others
hindered by stringent circumstances, and
the great multitude of well-to-do people
who stay at home because they like
home I letter than any other place, refus
ing logo away simply because it is the
fashion to go. When the express
wagon, with its mountain of trunks di
rected to the Catskills or Niagara, goes
through the streets, we stand al our win-
dow envious and impatient, and wonder
why we cannot go as well as others.
Fools that we are. as though one could
not la? as happy at home as anywhere
else. Our grandfathers and grandmothers
had as good a tune as we have, long lie-
fore the first spring was bored at Sara
toga or the first deer shot in the Adiron
dack*. They made their wedding tour
to the next farm house, or, living in New
York, they celebrated the event by an
extra walk on the Battery.
Now the genuine American Ls not
happy until he is going somewhere, ami
the passion is so great that then* are
Christian |ieople with their familie-s dt*-
taineel in tlie city, who conic not to the
house of God. trying to give pes?;ile the
idea that they are out of town: leaving
tlie doorplate unscoiind for the same
reason, and for two months keeping
tlie front shut-tors dosed while they
sit In the liack part of the
lionse, the thermometer at ninety!
My friends, if it is best for us to go. let
us go and tie happy. If it is best for us
to stay at home, let us stay at home and
lie happy. There is a great deal of goed
common sense in Paul's advice to the
Hebrews: “Be content with such things
as ye have." To bo content is to Is-in
good humor with our circumstances, not
picking a quarrel with our obscurity, or
our iinverty. or our social position.
There are four or five grand reasons why
we should lie content with such tilings :is
we have.
Tlie first reason that I mention as lead
ing to this spirit ad vise, I jn the text, is
the consideration that tlie |morcst of us ,
have all that is indis|M?tisablc in life. \Ye
make a great ado almut our lianlshijis,
Imt how little we talk of our blessings.
Health of liody. which is given in largest
quantity to those who have never lieen
|iettid, and fondled, and spoiled by for
tune. we take as a matter of course.
Rather have this luxury, and have it
alone, than, without it.’ look out of a
palace window iqioii |larks of deer
stalking between fountains and statu
ary. These jieople sleep sounder
on a straw mattress titan fashionable in

down. The dinner of lierlis tastes letter
to the appetite shnr]ieiied on a wood-
man’s ax or a reajier’s scythe then
wealthy indigestion experiences seated at
a table covered with partridge, and ven
ison. and pineapple. Tlie grandest lux
ury Gild ever gave a man is health. He
who trades that off for all the i>alaeos of
the earth is infinitely cheated. We look
luck at the glory of the last Napoleon,
hut who would have taken his Versailles
and his Tuilerics if witli them we had
been obliged to take his gout? “Oil,”
says Minio one. "it isn’t the grosser pleas
ures 1 covet, hut it ia the gratification of
an artistic aud intellectual taste." Why,
my brother, you have the original front
which those pictures are copied.
Wlpat Is a sunset on n wall compared
with a sunset hung in loops of fire on the
heavens? What is n cnscadc silent on a
canvas coinjiared with a cascr.de that
makes the mountain tremble, its spray
ascending like the departed spirit of tl lu
water alain on tlie rocks? Oh. there U a
great deal of hollow uffectation about a
fondne-s for pictures on tlie [dirt of tlioso
who never appreciate the original from
which tiie |iicturcs are taken. As though
a parent should hero no regard for his
chid, hut go into ecstasies over its photo

Vatican—the royal gallery of tlie noon

midnight sky.
Another consideration leading us to u
spirit of contentment (s tho fact that our
happiness Ls not dependent upon outward
circumstances. You ace juvplu happy
and miserable amid nil circumstances,
In a family where the last loaf is ou tho
table, und the last stick of wood on tlio
fire, you sometimes find n cheerful con
fidence in God. while in n very fino plsco
you will see and hear discord Bounding
her war whoop, nnd hospitality freezing
to death in n cheerless parlor. I stopped
one day on Broadway at the head of Wall
street, at the foot of Trinity church, to
see who set tiled tho linppiest people [clos

tlie happiest jicople were not those who
went down into Wall street, for they had
on their brow the anxiety of the dollar
they cx|K?ctcd to make; nor tlie |*-oplu
who came out of Wall street, for they
luul on their brow tho anxiety of the dol
lar they Imd lost; nor the people who
swept by in splendid equipage, for they
met a carriage that was finer than theirs.

! this spirit of cheerfulness is the fact tliat
J G„d knows what is l**t for his creatures.
You know what is best for your child.
Hu thinks you nre not its liberal with
him as you ought to he. He criticises
I your discipline, but you look over the
j whole field, and you, loving that child,
j do what in your deliberate judgment is
j lest for him. Now, God is the best of
fathers. .Sometimes his children think
that he is h:ird on them, and that ho is
not us lilieral with them as he might lie.
But children do not know as much as a
father. 1 can toll you why you are not
largely affluent, and why you have not
Ihkii grandly successful." It is because
you cannot stand the temptation. If
your path bad been smooth, you M-ould
inive de] .ended upon your own surefoot-
illness; but God roughened tliat path, so
von have to lake hold of his hand. If
the weather had been mild, you would
j have loitered along the water courses;
! hut at the first howl of the storm you
J quickened your pace heavenward, and
wrapped around yon the warm robo of a
Saviour's righteousness. “Wlint have I
done?" says the wheatsheaf to the farmer,
“what have I done, that you lieat mo so
hard with your flail?” Tlie farmer
makes no answer, but tlie rake takes off
the straw, and the mill blows the chaff
to the wind, and the golden grain falls
down at the foot of the windmill. After
a while, the straw looking down from
the mow upon the golden grain tanked
up on either side tiie floor, understands
wliv tiie farmer beat tho wheatsheaf
witli the flail.
Who arc those before the throne? Tim
answer mine: “Those are they who, out
of great tribulation, had their robes
noshed and made white in the blood of
the Lamb.” Would God that we could
understand that our trials aro the very
best tiling for us. If we had an appreci
ation of tiiat truth, then we should know
why it was tliat John Noyra, the martyr,
in tlie very midst of tho flame reached
down and picked up one of tiro fagots
that was consuming him, and kissed it,
and said: “Blessed be God for tlie time
when I ivas bom to this preferment."
They who suffer with him on earth shall
he glorified with him in heaven. Bo
content, then, witli such tilings ns you
! have.
Another consideration loading us to
the spirit of tiie text is tlie assurance
that the L>rd will provide somehow.

how to shoot. When it u-as light

They Still Wrangle*
Thft colored {teoplo of Lexington are
having as turbulent a time over their
school in Lexington as are the whites
in other portions of the county. The
last move was by the faction havingthe
raw material and the market price of | most control in tlie church in locking
granuLted sugar per pound. up the house against the school. The
The 5-8ths of a cent represented, other faction immediately secured an-
thereforo, not only the cost of refining,
hut the profit going to the refiner as
well.
At the bginning of July, 1888—
eighteen months after the establish
ment of the trust (which of course, was
to cheapen the price to consumers by
lessening the cost of production), tlie
charge for refining plus the profit of
the refiners was 14 eent a pound—-this
amount being, as before, the difference
between the market prioo of the raw
material and the price of gran la ted
sugar per pound.'
During the eighteen months of the
trust s life M’liich have now passed,
therefore, tlie price of sugar has been
increased to the consumers by the dif
ference between go and 14c, or in oth
er words by tho sum of je per pound
Now, as tho daily capacity of the re
fineries in tlie Unitod States/exolusive
of Speck els, reached up to a total of a
little over 33,(XK) barrels or, at the
calculation of 300 pounds to the bar
rel, about 10,000,000 pound, the in
crease in price to the consumer amounts
to the considerable sum of $S7,200 a
day! There being 319 working days in
the year, the computation is easy that
the sugar consumers of the country
pay §27)000 000 more for their sugar
per annum now than they did before
the establishment and working of this
gigantio trust.
i’wenty-seven million dollars per an

The Deciding Mat©**
The result of this election will prob-
ablv depend upon the vote of Indiana
and Connecticut, New York and New
Jersey are altogether likely to vote t lie
Democratic 1 icket, especially in view
of the unfortunate manner in which the
Ifepnhlica.is have dealt with the tem
perance question. It will he a contest,
perhaps, in Connecticut to decide as to
whether the manufacturer on the one
side or the prohibitionist on the other
shall carry away the more votes from
the Democratic and Republican parties
respectively. There may he another el
ement come in at the West by which
the extreme high-tariff position of the
Republican party will lose it the vote
of either Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin,
or Minnesota. We can judge better on
this point further on. The Republican
party will he injured by it in all these
states, but perhaps not enough iu anv
of them to fail of carrying it. We have
little faith in the talk of Republican
losses on the Pacific coqst. Oregon set

sever.—Boston Herald.
