The enforcement of those ordinances has been productive of goed results. While the Council and this Board have used the power vetted in them to pre serve the health of tbe city, and the present cleanly and healthy condition of the city is evidenco of the fact, they arc nevertheless thoroughly convinced in their judgment, that on account of the rapid growth of the city a perfect sys tem of sewerage and drainage it keeom- log every daypnore and more anecessity 1 no Council have employed Mr. Ru dolph Herring, of New York, a sanitary engineer, of extended experience, who is now engaged in making a plan and esti mate for a system of sewerage for the city, and as soon as his estimate is report ed to the Council, which they expect to receive in the next few days, the ques tion of issuing hoods for this purpose will be submitted to the people. The health of the city is matter in which those of us who are resident here, ami expect to stay, are more vitally in terested than persons at a distance, and all may bo assured that tho people here expect to preserve tho health of tho city, no matter whnt it may cost, upon the principle of self preservation if upon no other. The reports about sickness in the city during the summer have been grossly ex aggerated as every one acquainted with the facts well knows. During the year 1887 there were sixty four interments of whites in Oconee cem etery. There have been only thirty-two intermenta during Shis year to August 2,ih, whiw shows a decrease in the death rate over last year, although the population is rapidly increasing and is now estimated at ten thousand. Very Respectfully, We. Dootson, Chairman Board ot Health. THE FISHERIES QUESTION. The Canadian Council Hold n Meeting and Discus* Cleveland’s Message. Tuesday the *Csnadian cabinet held their first meeting, since Clevefand’s re taliatory message. It is repotted that the British Government cabled to Sir John MacDonald requesting him to fur nish the full text of the extent and char acter of the commercial relations which had existed between the United States and CfcOEvla sinco-Au Confederation ofj the British North American provinces, also a clear statement of all remonstrances which had been made by the United State* against Canada for alleged irregu larities in according to the United States citizens their rights conceded by treaty, as well as a full explanation as to the probable effect on the dominion if the propoSed measures Were carried out. The report was submitted to the cabi net before being forwarded to the British government and a lively discussion en sued. It is impossible to learn what line of campaign Sir John proposed, but it is known that several members of his cab inet were by no menus in accord with his suggestions. Thero was a strong disposition on the part of several ministers to immediately witbdraw the obnoxious order which discriminates against American vessels in using Canadian canals. The power of tho president to suspend the bonding privilege was taken into consideration, it being universal 1 ,’ agreed that it could not be dono unless two year's notice was given, without breaking the Washington treaty.

A number of companies from bavannah want to come up, and if tho matter is pushed, we can have visit ing companies from nearly every city in the State, aud perhaps some from adjoin ing States. Cobb's Legion, you know, were famous soldiers, and tbeir reunion will attract soldiers from all quarters.” “You think the military feature wi'l be taking, then? “Beyond question. This is a year of of reunions and no other feature will at tract more titan this. During the en campment we proprose having a sham battle, and it will not he a “sham,” as some, recently perpetrated on along suf ft ring public. Yes, we expect to have several prominent Confederate officers present during the fair, and tbe sham battle will he a leading attraction of the occasion. There are some few in Athens who are given to ridiculing the fair, and if we can have a few genuine, old time halls and a little blood on the grouud, it will but add somewhat of romance to the fair. Of course this will not be necessary as everybody in Athens is now dead in earnest about the fair and acting Freaidcnt Cohen will lead the farces snd we will have a grand success. “About the rates of passenger and freight on our railroads. Have you made satisfactory terms yet?” “Xo, but X will in a few days. No doubt the roads will give (us equallj as liberal rates as they did last year—one cunt a mile for passenger snd bring our exhibits at one fare—all county exhibits will be brought free.” “What will the new Toad do for us— tho C. & M. No doubt Col. Machen will be liberal as be was with Madison snd Watkinsville.' “Col. Machcn will give us an excursion from Macon—tickets good during the fair—at a fare of $1.00 tor the round.trip. He wi'l bring the county exhibits free aud charge but one far eon on other ex hibits. •JTnis will draw a large crowd from Macon, Madison and along tho line—a territory hitherto out of the reach of our fairs.' “Indeed it will.

But it will be through before that, as a good subscription was raised yesterday and by littles tbe C. & M. reaches out to the Northeastern depot'” “How about the county exhibits?” “They are doing finely. We hope to have county displays from Jackson, Madison, Oconee, Clarke, Banxs, Ogle thorpe. Wilkes. Franklin and others.” “When will yon have your posters out?” “In a very few days.

If twenty years ago you bad said to your neighbor that you would be able to sit in your room and talk with him fifty miles in another city he would have nohositatingly called yon an idiot or a fit subject for the lunatic asylum. Yet one of the largest enter prises of the , resent d ty is the operation of thetelepbat e system, and by tbe way, one of the most perplexing of the whole cotegorv of professior s. For instance,the many calls, ladies not excep.ee' demands and threats of being repo.'ted to the general manager, when, in rea lty, it is oftener than otherwise not the fault of the office operator, but the person wish ing to use the telephone, not being posted as to how to make his calls." Yet they hello away, and, if they can’t both hear and see the answer, a volume of threats and a cloud of thunder is burled at the operator, which works him up to such a pitch that his nerves are all unstrung, so all hands get out of sorts. By following these instructions much time and annoy ance can be avoided: When you go to the telephone you will simply say 28 on 572; tbe bell rings. Y'on then say send me six bottles Dr. Woolley’s Invigorine, which relieves weak .nerves, kidney com plaints, dyspepsia,’constipation, as well as tbe many troubles incident to tbe change of life, which is a great blessing to woman.

The hardest of the surveying is already done, and it is estimated that in a year 4,800,000 acres can be surveyed, of which the Company will take 1,009,000 acres The land had navigable rivers, snd harbors, and coal, and dense forests of finn timber, and petroleum, and precious metals snd other minerals; but suppose it had nothing at all except the bare land, and suppose that it does not bring more tbtn the $1,25 per acre, yon might figure what the profit will be on some million acres.

Tho golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone, which was celebrated recently, recalls a reminiscence of the day, now more than half a century distant, when Mrs. Gladstone first saw her future hus band. It was at a dinner party in Lon don, where the younger Miss Glynne’s attention was directed by an eminent statesman who was by her eide to a tall, handsome young member of parliament who sat opposite. "Do you see that young man?" said he, "rat* him well and mark my words. If h(s life is spared he will one day be prime minister.” Mhs Glynno naturally took keen rate of Mr. Gladstone, but they did not speak, nor was it until sometime afterward that she made hia acquaintance in Italy. The prediction, however, has been thrice ful filled, and Mrs. Gladstone will probablv have the gratification of seeing it fulfilled the fourth thus before long.—Home Journal.
