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; (itUttQ 1, Clark* County. Whereas, Rufus K.

JACKoON, Ordinary Printer's foe, 12.85. au*16-w4t One of the most remafkable peti tions on record has just been pre» cousump- ggntod to the police commissioners o St. Lonis, signed, it is said, by many prominent business men. It asks plainly that ‘square gambling 1 may be allowed. The petitioners say that they are opposed to the offensive and disreputable features of gambling, bat not to 'square gambling,’ operated under proper auspices, as it has been by certain citizens of good character and reputation, who are interested the prosperity and welfare of the ».V - qFl«y Cuds—Tired or Too] Many Doctors. to PhilmdelpeU Times 9ih orning the President idid humor. It was nd hand, bat from good .t the President said: doctors are gone better.’ Dr. Bliss bim of his decreased poise, •Yes, less pulse and very good sign,’ then remark just quoted. A r ward he said: ^ ing to be tiresome Dpn’t yon think yon could get oSHfeime. amusement? Have RockwiIlSgiffjorae of them come np. jSia-. Bay to a game of <v~X, 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 ings. After all this it is scarcely nec essary to say that President Garfield’s condition has very much improved. It not true that ho said, ‘Richard’s himself again,’ yesterday, but ho might have said it to-day. These are said to be the three sweetest words in the English lan guage, and the assertion is true. 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. cy, but a sentiment graven deep upon e tablets of the heart. One may wander in foreign climes, bask the sunlight of fortune, form and endearing friendships, 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. The German Carp.

Gx Fish Commission. but in day dreams and night dreams the mind and heart go back to the snot where they eye first saw the light and the childish feet first pressed the sod. From this devotion to home springs the love of country, and this kindles the fire of patriotism in manly breasts. Abeut the last wish in death to rest our wearied, toil worn bodies ’neath the oak, where repose the dust of the loved and lost of Ion ago! Heaven! Ah, what is heaven ? When tired, we contemplate it as a place of rest when staiued with sin, a place ot purity; when bereaved, a place of reunion with lost friends. The word implies the highest stylo of bliss of xvhioh the mind can Conceive to which the heart can aspire. 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. London Trnth. 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. Representative Cox met Re] resentaUve W. D.

Tbe University is already loaded with too many outside institutions and its result has been the decay of the venerable mother institution. The State University was intended to be a high Southern College where the- young men of tbe state oould receive finished educations bnt it seems to be the purpose of the legislature to tack on to it high schools from one end of the state to the other. We fear that tbe result will bo to bring it in con flict with every institution of learning in the state except those under its immediate control. Covington Star. Legislators absent except for prov idential cause, ought to be held up to the scorn of an indignant people.

The country is full k of good wives, thank heaven! Globe-Democrat. The glad news of the President’s recovery is slightly marred by the announcement that Mark Twain is about to publish a new book. How ever, perhaps unalloyed happiness would not be beneficial to us as a na tion. St. Lonis Globe-Democrat. It is a coincidence worthy of note that the President began to rally im . mediately after he had discharged one-half of his doctors. The logical presumption is that if he would dis pense with the services off the other half, he xvould get well immediately. Oainesvillo Southron. We learn from our Athens contem* poraries that William Fitzpatrick starved his wife, Jane Fitzpatrick to death last week, and actually sat upon her bed side and cursed her while dy ing from starvation, neglect and other cruelties at his hands. We hope it is unnecessary to adv:’e our Athens friends what to do with such a man. The Oconee river runs go close to the city, and cord and rocks aro so plen tiful. A correspondent of the New York Times civeaa striking example of the way in which the present tariff prevent imports. A lan»e buyer for Calcutta house saw in England va rious articles of food from the United States, and hearing that large quanti ties and varieties ot fruit were grown here, gave an extensive conditional order for American jams and jellies put up in glass. There was no diffi culty about the fruit, but it was soon found that the import duties on sugar, etc., made the price of the articles de sired here higher than the similar ar ticles in England. The order went there. The reunion of the society of the army of the Cumberland in Chatta nooga, September 21st and 22d promises to be an affair of more than ordinary importance.

John Calvin Johnson, of Sulphur Springs, tho politest man that ever run a public summer resort, says that when a great big six foot aristocrat (from Whales) calls him a liar in a sort of polite way, he lumbers into him with bis cane and takes the chances of a sound drubbing, but when a lady, with a strong smell of cod fisti, plumps out to him the lie square toed ho turns her over to Tom Daniel, the best natured clerk for a man you ever saw, and proceeds to the side porch of tho hotel, shakes his cane at a post, works his month like Harrison Martin does when he drives a baikey male, and says audi bly that every lady who is too mascu line for beauty and too rough to be attractive in any other way, ought to have been a man.

Wwhingion Star. 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.

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 per: ‘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 go back; come on, John.’ 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 ?

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.

THE LOSS OF LIFE ON THE RICE PLANTA TIONS. Savannah News. 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.

Humble as they were the most of them were the workers of the plantations, those who staid there at all seasons, and whom tbe planters to a great extent depended on for regular labor.
