John Morgan, a Mormon elder

$200,000,000. Nearly all of thiB vast
amount of hard money has been kept
in this country.

of reports of death, disaster, and

An Extensive Hardware Store. A Reliable
Firm. A Fine Stock of Goods. ,
A reporter of the Banner stepped
into the store of Messrs. Childs, Nka.
ersoD, Wynn & Co., this morning and
meeting that afihble and ever acco
modating clerk, Mr. Mem Lit 1
told him we would like .to. take
a look through the establishm
and see what he had
stock. Of course he was willing to
oblige us and we are prepaied to con
fess right here that we were surprised..
We knew that it was a large stoie.
and had a good quantity of good*,'
but we had no idea of the extent, of
the space occupied, or of tho vast
amount of goods stored away in the
various portions ot the large build
ing. The front part of the house is
what was known for a long time as
the old Franklin House, bearing that
name when it was used as a hotel in
the earlier days of the city. This
portion of the house contains thiee
stories aud a basement. After the
uses of the building were changed
and tbe better to accommodate the
hardware business of these gentle
men an addition was made in the
rear of a two story building and a
basement which makes it one of the
largest and most capacious in tbe
city. The whole building is occupied
by this firm.
Beginning with the basement story,
we found it filled with tho heavier
goods in which the firm deals, such as
plows, iron, wagons and wagon ma
terial and heavy agricultural imple
ments. These are of great variety
and of the 'best quality. Going up
stairs to the top story, we found a
large room filled with goods oi va>
rious kinds. They had just been ar-
rang, d and each separate sort had
been placed so as to be most conven
ient for inspection. There was buggy
material in great quantity. Every'
thing that goes into the manufacture
of a buggy can be bought separately
and the purchaser can put it together
himself, thus paying only the actual
cost of the material. Bodies, wheels
ready made, and wheels in pieces,
axles, couplings and all the holts, bars,
screws and other pieces used in a
buggy are there.
Then there are every kind of agri
cultural and garden implements, hoes,
rakes, shovels, etc., every kind of
household article, except furniture,
and everything used on the farm, in
the heme, and in the workshop. A
blacksmith can get a full set of tools
aud his material at this store. A car
penter can get all the tools of his
trade. Harness men can be supplied
likewise, or if any one wishes a set of
harness ready made ho can find it
here.
The first or main floor seems to be
so full of goods that we do not see
where any more can be put and yet
new ones are being received all the
time. ;it would take columns to enu
merate what they have. If there is
nything made of iron or steel ever
kept in a hardware store which they
hayen’t got, we don’t know what it
is. There are also ropes of all sizes
and kinds. Well buckets, brooms,
mill stones and grind stones, circular
saws, knitting needles, scythe blades
and pocket knives, and indeed, aN
most anything else yon can name.
This is one of the largest establish
ments of the kind in the state. We
doubt if there is more than one or two
larger. And they do an immense
trade. All of the people in this up
country know of the firm. The mem'
hers are gentlemen who are thor
oughly conversant with the business
and have long had a reputation for
enterprise and fair dealing which
makes any personal commendation
unnecessary. There are a full force
of gentlemanly clerks employed and
all who go there may rely on recciv*
ing the best attention. Now we con-
clnde by saying the goods are in and
must be sold. They will bo marked
to bottom figures, and the people of
Northeast Georgia are invited to cal]
and inspect them betore buyin;

o, no,’ said Dr. Bliss, *it would
never do. After you get stronger we
may think about something of that
sort, but notjjust now. I couldn’t
think of it,’
‘Well, I don’t know why,’ said the
President. ‘I don’t see what harm a
little game wonld do me,’ and he look
ed rather disappointed at not getting
his wish.
Since he has had his way in getting
to LoDg Branch he is beginning to
assert his will. Indeed, oflate there
is a great deal going to show that he
has to some extent taken his own case
in hand himself. From the first he
was opposed to so manv doctors, and
etten expressed his displeasure. Once
he made the remark, ‘Bliss, I’m get
ting tired of this mob.’ He has also
grown sick of being tumbled about
and examined, and having different
doctors at different hours put ther
mometers under his arms and feel his
pulse. Since he came here he has re
belled against so much examination,
and consequently the number ot bulle
tins has been shortened.
Then he has thought Dr. Edson
ought to go home—not that he was
tired of her, but because he felt that
she was tired and needed rest. Dr.
Edson demurred, but the President
had to have his way. He also had
the satisfaction of seeing his idea
about lessening tbe number of physi
cians carried out. Drs. Barnes and
Woodward have returned to Wash
ington and Dr. Reybum has gone to
visit friends at Ocean Grove. They
felt very bad about it, but the Presi
dent was inexorable. The fact that
all three of them voted in council
against his removal to Long Branch
did not raise them in his favor. No
one told him, but sick men learn these
things, and Garfield is a sort ot ama
teur psychologist. Anyhow, he has
several times astonished the doctors
by showing that he knew thinos go
ing on outside. Before leaving Wash
ington ha insisted on the reduction of
the aurgioaLforoe to Hr. Bliss, with
Drs. Agne w and Hamilton interven
ing as consullauts. But Dr. Bliss, in
courtesy, thought he would ask all
his colleagues to make the trip to
Long Branch. When one of the inter
dicted ones camcs into the car during
the trip Garfield said : ‘Hasn’t he
gone a may yet ?’ This is the plain
truth, and the complimentary allu
sions of the evening bulletin are sim
ply surgical salve for irritated feel

Around each severally clings a thou
sand holy associations. They have
ever furnished themes for the poet
and artist, and their praises have been
sung in the eloquence ot genuine in
spiration. No relationship on earth is
comparable to that of mother. How
exalted the position, how fearful the
responsibility! A mother exerts the
most potent of all influences. If exs
erted for good it leads to heaven, if
for evil, to the lowest depths of per
dition. Callous indeed is the heart
that cannot be moved by the prayers
and tears of a loving mother I Her
love, how wide and endnring it is 1 It
fellows her offspring through all the
vicissitudes of life, imprints kisses
upon the pallid lips of death, and fol
lows the departing spirit thxongh the
ceru^n arches into the very gates of
heaven. No crime of the erring one
can crush it, nor time nor space efface
it. Fven after her heart has ceased
to beat, and the cold dead clay is bid
away from sight, the memory of her
life and love lives on in the hearts of
bei children, often restraining theta
from evil and calling back the wan
derer, even, after he has sank below
tho level ot the brute in the ways of
sin. How great and high and sacred
is the office of mother.
Home! in all true hearts the love
of home is all pervading. However
humble, there is no place like home.
While the foot of the wanderer may
stray far from the paternal roof, the
heart yearn3 for the dear old home
stead, and tbe loved ones left behind.
This home may be upon the steeps of
the rugged mountain, beyond the
flights of the eagle, or hidden away in
the seclusion of the forest, in the fro
zen or torrid zone, yet there is an at
traction about it that no other spot of
earth can weaken or abate. This love
home is not a mere-theoretical fan.

THE MORMON NUISANCE.
The worst class of immigrants that
are brought to our chores is undoubt
edly the Mormon contingent, made
np of dupes and devotees from the
most ignorant and degraded of Euro
pean populations. Over two thous
and have been sent from tbe single
port ot Liverpool during the current
year, and probably as many more
have found their way into the coun
try unheralded. If, as it is the fash
ion of the dominant political party to
declare, there is authority resident in
the Federal Government to uproot
these pestilent fanatics, and, besides,
a design to accomplish such a purpose,
it would seem to be a stupendous folly
to permit the constant increase of
their power by foreign and domestic
migrations. Every year they are
better entrenched in their position.
Whatever may be the fixture policy of
the Federal Government, there will be
great force in the plea x which the
Mormons will inevitably set up, that
they have acquired their foothold in
the Territories of the United States
under the tacit sanction of our laws.
Whatever may possibly be done to
abate this pestilential nuisance shonld
be done promptly.

a place ot purity; when bereaved,
a place of reunion with lost friends.
The word implies the highest stylo of

Human thought pictures heaven in
a thousand varied aspects. The un
tutored savage thinks it a place of-
happy bunting grounds where the
wild chase shall furnish eternal ex
hilaration, and the more cultivated
and refined invest it with a a higher
order of charms more suited to their
ideas of the perfection of bliss. Its
location is thought by many to be far
beyond the most distant star, where
God is enthroned in glorious, unap
proachable majesty. But whatever
heaven may be or wherever located, it
quite evident the good have a fore
taste of it here. Whether a place,
or a state or both, it comprehends
the idea of supreme happiness. And
this is xvhat we all desire.
’ A Parasol Which Cost $18,000.

The lato M. Blanc once paid for
parasol for his wife the unnsnal sum
of SI 8,000. The pair started from
Wiesbaden one snmmer morning to
spend the day at Hamburg, and upon
their arrival at that paradise of the
green table Madame Blanc discover
ed that she had left her parasol at
home. She insisted that her hus
band should bny her a new one, and
reluctantly enough he invested $16 in
a parasol of great fashion and beauty
He determined to re-coop himself for
this extravagance at the tables, and
walked into tbe room devoted to
trente-et-qnarante, where halt a doz
en chairs were obsequiously proffered
by the officials. He declined them
all on the ground that, as he only
intended to remain at tbe table a
minute or two, it would not be worth
while to sit down. He then address
ed himself to the enterprise of recov
ering the price of his wife’s new par
asol by setting two leuis on tbe black.
Without following the courso of bis
losses it is enough to record the fact
that his wife’s forgetfulness cost M.
Blanc tbe thonsands mentioned above.

The peculiar appearance of tho at
mosphere observed along the Atlantic
coast, particularly, for the past two or
three evenings has excitra general
-attention. Scientists seem to be some
what puzzled to explun the phenom-
na, though numerous suggestions are
offered as the probable causes of the
remarkable tints and colors presented
by the atmosphere. In Western
Massachusetts and in the Eastern and
Middle Mates bordering on the At
lantic ocean the singular coloring of
the atmosphere, imparting unnatural
tints to the grass and flowers, even to
the earth, itself, was first noticed lost
Tuesday. The shadow cast over
eyerything gradually darkened, until
in Springfield, Mass., and other places
lights were necessary to the transac
tion of business. It was observed
that the gas and the electric lights
also burned with a peculiar bluish
light. About the time the President
arrived at Long Branch a most re
markable mirage was visible on the
seacoast. It consisted of a number of
vessels, all distinctly outlined, re
versed, sailing up and down the coast
among the clouds! Wednesday night
the sky seemed to be covered with a
thin mist, or rather the \
to interve
and the effect was to
earth a peculiar softened light. This
same unusual scene waa visible here
in Washington last night. The moon
was pale, like the representatives of
herself shown in magic lantern scenes.
Tho unusual atmospheric condition
tvas visible hero before sundown. The
sun seemed to have lost all its brill
iancy and to have become a pale ball
of fire, which it was not the feast
painful to tho eyes to look at. There
was not a breath of air stirring and
smoke ascended perpendicularly trom
chimneys. The air was op; ressive. It
is suggested by somo that these phe
nomena were caused bv the long
drought and the intense heat; that
the parched soil, converted into fine
dust by the passage of man and beast
over the ground, has ascended and
tho finer particles Lave been carried
aloft by the hot air rising from the
earth; that as there has been no rain
to wash the fine dust out of the at
mosphere it has remained above, form
ing a sort of veil between the earth
and the heavens. Another theory is
that the misty veil which has partly
hidden tho sun and moon, was pro
duced by smoke rising from the great
forest fires that have been burning
tor some days past. This ^theory is
upheld by the strong smell of smoke
appareut for a day or two. It may be
that the phenomena portend some
singular atmospheric disturbance
which is to terminate the long, dry,
hot spell of weather.
A Warning of Earthquakes
and Tornadoes.—Editor of tlie
Washington Star: I have resided for
many years in Central America and
having experienced manv destructive
tornadoes and several severe shocks of
earthquake. Each tornado and earth
quake was preceded by drought, ex
treme heat, and accompanied for sev
eral days with a peculiar condition of
the atmosphere, such as has been no
ticed in Massachusetts and which now
prevails here. Judging from my ex
perience and observation, I desire to
say that it is highly probable this sec
tion of country will, within a few days,
be visited by terrible terrestrial and*
atmospheric disturbances, that it will
be well for all to prepare for.

GETTING MARRIED IN NORTH CAROLINA.

A couple from Virginia landed in
Milton the other morning to be mar
ried by ’Squire Lewis. They walked
hand in hand up Main street and took
a seat upon the front step of the
Sqaire’s office, and the man asked for
license. As the ’Sqnire was preparing
to make it out, tbe buxom girl began
to inch off, and hesitated, and finally
said to the young man in a half whis

‘John,’ said she, ‘I don’t believe I
will—I never did feel so flnstrated—
lawd ! I wonder what pappy’s doing
now—I feel right trerablesomc—less

Well, yon don’t want the license,
then ?’ said the ’Squire.
‘Hold on thar, Mister; yes, we do, 1
said the man; and he moved closer
up and set his chin to earnest work.
‘New, Sally,’ said he, ‘don’t go on
thater way ; what ’ud the folks say ?

Female equestrianism is now the

Friday, atDes Moines, Miss Curtis, of

trom Miss Pinneo of Colorado; Mrs.

beating the exploit of Miss Curtis and
Miss Pinneo by several minutes ; and
at Minneapolis Miss Cook won a 20
mile race by a thousand yards from
Miss Jewett. On Saturday, at Law*
rc-nce, anssHinrer or -niissour^ won
by barely halt a length, in 46 minutes,
a twenty-mile race from Miss Hill ot
Kansas. This last is spoken of as the
greatest sporting event ever known at
the West, the excitement and state
pride aroused being intense, the time
unprecedented, and 8100,000 chang
ing haBds on the result. With Miss
Archer, Mrs. Burke, Miss Cook, Miss
Curtis, Miss Hill, Miss Jewett, and
Miss Pinneo already in the Amazon
ian field, and others, no doubt, pre*
paring to follow, the possible combi
nations and matches yet to come in
these long and hard runs may be very
great. Though^these raoes are some
times witnessed by thirty thousand

THE LOSS OF LIFE ON THE RICE PLANTA

The loss of life on the rice planta
tions on the South Carolina shore,
and the islands along tbe river, will
probably never he known, but there
is sufficient data to place it at be
tween one hundred and fifty and two
hundred. Besides the bodies upou
which inquests have been held, many
have been found and buried by their
friends without a legal investigation,
because they were offensive, and it
was necessary to inter them at once.
