Rev. J'. C. Davis who is engaged
in making a collection of 'the Lepa*
doptera of Clarke county for the mu
seum of tbe University of Georgia,
called to request any one wlio knows
of tho white mulberry growing neat
Athens, to report the same to him or
to this office. In the course of an
inlereating convernation on the sub
ject of moths and butterflies, be
showed us specimens of the Chinese
silk cocoons, and a bcaulilul skein ot
the wound silk. The cocoons ^were
of fine shades ot yellow and green
tints. Mr. Davis has now about
1,500 eggs of the silk moth which will
hatch out now in a lew days. They
must be led on the leaf of the mul
berry until they wind themselves up
into the cocoons. It left long enough
the moth will cat through the cocoon
and ruin the silk, so tbe pupa must
be filled inside the cocoon before it
* reaches the moth stage. This is done
by healing them in an oven. Tbe co
coons are then ready for winding. The
silk lies on them in an endless thread
in the shape of the figure eight. The
moth is called in the language ot
the Ingalogists Bo in by x Mori. The
process of hatching, layiog and tor-
mation of the moth occurs three
times during the summer.
That Mw factory at Athens.
The Atlanta Constitution after
quoting what the Banner said about a
new factory for Athens alluded to in
Henry Grady’s letter, gives the.fol
lowing good news:
The Inmans are not the capitalists
to whom we alluded, and if they
b> ild a mammoth factory at Athens,
as we hope they will, -Aliens will
have two new factories.

ed, whose names we are not as yet at
liberty to give, have perfected their
organization and purchased their site.
The capital is #1,600,000,, and the
firm at the head of the enterprise has
take, one third of it; the rest is in
strong hands. Work will be begun
in a very short time. The factory
will l>e connected with Athena by a

CHINA HALL, ATHENS, GA.
Tennysonian.
The regular monthly meeting of
tho Tennysonian Society of the Lucy
Cobb Institute occurred on Friday
last. The lecture hall of the institute
was filled with the friends and patrons
of the t-o.hool, At one p. m. the so
ciety was called to order by the pres
ident, Miss Maggie Morton. After
the reading ot the minutes ot the last
meeting the society proceeded to the
regular public business. The" pro
gramme was opened with an instru
mental solo by Mis8 Nellie Stovall.
The various members of the society
then performed their several J parts of
the programme with credit- to them
selves and the society. The recita
tions were rendered in the happy 1
style for which the pupils of the insti
tute are celebrated. Among the vo
cal solos we take pleasure in mention
ing especially tbe handsome manner
m which Misses Johnson, Skiff and
Cleckly acquitted themselves. Miss
Rutherford proposed that the society
ct lebrate the birthday ot Tennyson
with appropriate ceremonies. The
motion prevailed, and the secretary
was instructed to communicate with
the poet and request biin to write a
poem to be'read before the society on
that occasion. JThe meeting was
closed with the report ol the critic.
The critic is an officer appointed
every month. No one knows who
she is (except perhaps the critic her
self.) Her duty is to make a note of
all grammatical errors made by the
pupils during the month, report them
with the names and ,ask for their cor
rection. Tliis report is not only
amusing, but highly instructive to the
young ladies, rendering them careful
in the use of the United States lan
guage, and making them J, cautious to
speak correctly.
The Tennysonian has our best wish
es for its continued prosperity and
we hopojthe members will continue to
take that active interest in all its pro
ceedings which lias assured its pres
ent success.
Struck by Lightning.
A very serious mishap and one
which might have been fatal, belell
our fellow-townsinau, Mr. M 1> Mo
Ginty, last Tuesday night. He was
at Midway, where he had gone to
attend to the construction ot the new-
lunatic asylum. With a friend he
was sitting near a fire-place, convers'
iug. His companion was an old
armyfeororade, and their reunion was
so pleasant, that they continued talk—
g till near midnight.
It will be remembered that a heavy
rain, accompanied by thunder and
lightning, fell that night. The light
ning struck the chimney near which
these gentlemen were sitting, and
tore it all to pieces. The electric
current struck the chair on which Mr.
McGiniy was silting, tor* it to pieces,
knocked him several feet,and stunned
him, A physician was summoned,
and Mr. M. scon recovered conscious
ness. His right ear was burned, and
the back part of his head was cut so
that it bled profusely. Besides this,
his only hurt was a braised leeliu:
about the right side. Ilis escape
from death was narrow.
Several other persens were in the
room, but Mr. McGinty was tlie only
one hurt. A hen was killed on her
nest under the house immediately
underneath where he was sitting. He
bad been talking with his old comrade
about being wounded by a shell dur
ing the war; and when he began to
recover, bis first thought was that he
had been struck by another shell.
LneyCcbb Chapel.
We had the privilege of examin
ing the plans for this building, and so
far as we comprehend them give our
views on the subject to the public.
Mr. W. W. Thomas, the architect
has finished all his specifications and
drawings, and they are now ready to
be given to the contractor.
The material of which the chapel is
to be built is pressed brick and the
style is to bt the Queen Anne, or
modified Gothic. The body of the
chapel is in the shape of an octagon,
and is fitly-one feet long, by 62.4 feet
wide. The auditorium will have the
sloping flour and circle somewhat sim
ilar to the arrangements in theaties.
The stage fronting the main entrance
is in rear of the main body of the
chapel, and with the rooms opening
on it from a square structure resting
against the rear face of the octagon
and extending out on either side no
as to be visible from the front. Un
derneath this stage, <fcc„ are lecture-
rooms. The roof of the main chapel
comes to a point over the centre of
the auditorium, and is surmounted by
a belfry. The roof is to be covered
with slate, and oirthe interior to be
open and finished in Gothic style.
The windows in four faces of the octa
gon are 8 by 14 feet, and will be of
ample size to light the main hall
well. Beside the maine front entrance
which is approached by broad steps
on either side. There are two en
trances, one on either side, where the
main building joins the rear build
ing, these are visible from the front,
and open from the outside on to the
stage, into rooms in the rear and into
the auditoruin. From our under
standing ot this plan, the building
when complete will combine beauty,
comfort and convenience.
Athens and Jefferson.
The Gainesville and Jefferson rail
road is prdgre-sing with all the dis
patch possible in the bad weather we
have been having. Some Athons
men hold the opinion that this rail'
road will not take any trade from
Athens, as our city can offer induce
ments superior to Gainesville. This
may be tbe case for a short time and
trade may not be immediately divert
ed, but in time meu in Jackson will
make their business connections in
places more accessible than Athens.
Sooner or later a railroad must
built from here to Jefferson or Jug
Tavern. If it is done before tbe
trad* is diverted it wiil be better
than having to baild it to regain lost
trade, a thing much more difficult to
do. The old adage about a Rlich in
time, certainly applies to tbie
matter, and we mention it in hopes
may arouse a new interest in tbs rail
road and give ns some immediat
prospect of its being built.. - j

Wh»t Energy and Enterprise Will Do.
Tiie Banner has had occasion here
tofore to call attention to the large
and enterprising grocery firm of Carl
ton «fc Son, of Atlanta. From a small
beginning they have gone steadily
forward till they have built up a bus
iness that already lakes rank among
the {(mammoth enterprises of which
Atlanta has so many. A fairer ex
ample of what energy and enterprise
will do, we have* never seen. Go
when yon will to their stores, you will
find them crowded with a busy throng
attracted there to trade by the solid,
substantial bargains which arc offered.
When the war ended these gentle
men came out of the army where
they had made a gallant defense of
this count! y, poor in purge, in fact, aU
most without a dollar. There was a
necessity upon them to do something,
and to work they went, with a deter
mination winch wng'a sure fore-run
ner of success. Now they have two
retail stores, one el 334 & 136 Mari
etta Street, and one at 106 Whitehall,
and a wholesale establishment, under'
the name of Carlton & Smith, at 11
Forsyth street Their stock compris
es every variety of staple end fancy
groceries, stock feed and fresh fish.
They keep the best goods, warrant
everything as represented, and sell at
the lowest possible prices. When
these things are added to the inde
fatigable energy that characterize*
these gentlemen, it is readily seen
upon what a solid platform their pros
perity rests. ‘How is it you have had
suchfine success?’ said* friend to ths
senior Carlton ths other day. ‘By do
ing an honest business and sticking
to it,’ was the reply. And they have
done an honest business and stuck to
it till they have placed themselves in
the ranks of those w'!k> had much the
advantage in capital at the beginning.
We commend these houses to the
wholesale and retail trade of North
east Georgia. Their customers are
always treated well.
The Estey Orff«a Cempoar.
With* thousand pianos in slock,
■nd more to arrive,- the house of the
above named firm in .Atlanta, Ga. is
attracting tbe attention of purchasers'
of mnsical merchandise all over tb*
sooth. At'ants is headquarters of the
company for eight southern states,
and the b urines* done by this house is
in keeping with the immense business
of the company.
In nothing has the growth of
American industry been better ex
emplified than hr the* cabinet organ
business. A quarter of a century ago,
if we mistake not, cabinet organs
were unknown—the wheezy old me-
lodeon being the nearest approach to
it tlion in existence.' But since their
mantacture was begun, it has grown
so rapidly that there are scores of or
gan factories in the United States,
thousands ot meu are employed, and
millions of capital are invested.
The Estey Organ Company, begin
ning after some others, made such
rapid headway into public confidence
that they have outstripped competi*
lion, and to-day stand at the head of
the list, in the amount ot business
done. They have eight factories, and
make an organ complete every ten
minute*. So strong is public confi
dence in them, that the uame “Estey”
•tamped on an organ is taken as
proof positive that no. better can be
found.
Their business is not confined to
organs, but they deal in all kinds of
musical instruments. The company
import heavily from Europe, where
they have cempetenl agents who buy
low for cash aad ship direct not sim
ply to their northern houses, but to
Atlanta. The other day tbe company
received several invoices from
Europe, one of which numbered
32,460 articles, comprising the smal
ler musical instruments, embroid
ered piano cov*rs,etc. With their large
stock of pianos and other instruments,
bought before the rise, the Estey Or
gan Company is enabled to sell at re
markably low prices. The heavy
business of this popular and reliable
branch in Atlanta is rapidly increas
ing; and those who know the manager
are not surprised at it. Mr. C M
Cady is not oniy a thorough.going,
energetic business man; but he is
withal a model gentleman—quiet,
unostentatious in his manners, polits
and affable to all, winning his way
into the esteem of all who come in
contact with him, and commending
his business by his courteous demean
or and his upright dealing.
"Ike New Decorative Departure.
Cincinnati Commercial.
A new idea in the matter of wall
painting was commenced latterly by
Mm. Keenan, the noted flower pain
ter. Delighting in ' out-door scenes
with that affection which none but a
true artist may feel, she consoled her
self for the departing glories of sum
mer by the thought of bringing it in
doors. The thought was like an in
spiration, and dashing the gray-plast
ered walla of her dining-room with
some sky effects, then followed like
magic the tangled growth of bushes,
vinGrand flowers, delighted her heart.
Mr. Pitman seeing this asked of her
two panels for wall decorations to
add to his exhibit ot the 1880 Expoai-
tion, for which Mrs. Keenan received
a silver medal Sbe afterwards deco
rated in an interesting manner two
rooms for Mrs. Pit man, seeing Nottrse
painting in a flight of birds; also
in Mr. Lars Anderson’s house, she
painted ‘fancy free’over many rooms,
with charming effect, Miss Nourse,
with delicate skill supplementing
birds aud other minor decorations.
Whenever Mis. Keenan thinks ol a
natural growth, with her brush in
hand it bunts into life with an un
mistakable grace which has sunshine'
and tbe breeze in ita^color and form—
in this is ^nowhere excelled. Impa
tient, 8o‘metimes it can happen a tri
fle too much so, of detail in her
eageruess to get the depth and full
ness of nature, especially with tran
sient flowers, she works with marvel
ous rapidity and feeling. With com
bined effects of a more conventional
nature, tbe above wall painting would
be tree lrom any suggestion ofloose
ness , which even four walls hardly
serve to bind together. It has a rus
tic charm far mure suitable to many
rooms than the everlasting figured
paper, and deserves much considera
tion.
Iris estimated that the Mormons
gMn about 2,000 a year by immigra
tion. From 1840 to 1854, or in fif
teen years, 21,911 .crossed tbe sea
and the mountains. Between 1849
and 1860 28,740 had entered tBe
Und of promi-e. ■ Within the .next
decade some 25,000 *mbm took ship
from Europe to Salt Lake, and not far
from the same number between 1870
and 182, or in all, from the first
ship-load, in 1840, say about 85,000.

By J. B. Gongh.
A friend ot mine, seeking for ob
jects of charity, got into the room of a
tenement house. It was vacant. He
saw a ladder pushed through the ceil
ing. Thinking perhaps some poor
creature had crept up there, he climb,
ed the ladder, drew himsell through
the hole, and lound hiiuself under the
rafters. There was no light but that
which came through a bull’s eye in
the place of a tile. Soon he saw a
heap of chips and shavings, and on
them a boy about ten years old.
Boy, what, are you doing there?
Hush ! don’t tell anybody—please
sir.
What are you doing here?
Don’t tell anybody,sir—I’m hiding.
What are yon hiding from?
Don’t tell anybody, if you please,
sir.
Wherc’s your mother?
Mother is dead.
Where’s your father?
Hush ! don’t tell him ! look here!
He turned htmsclt on his face, and
through the rags of bis jacket, and
shirt, iny friend saw the boy’s flesh
was bruised, and his : kiu broken.
Why, my boy, who beats you like
that?
Father did, sir?
What did yonr father beat you like
that for?
Father got drunk, sir, and beat me
cos’ I wouldn’t steal,
Did you ever steal?
Yes, sir. I was a street thiel once.
And Wiy don’t you steal any
more?
Please sir, I went to the mission
school, and they told me there of God,
and Heaven and of Jesus; and they
taught me Thou shall not steal, and
I’ll never steal again if Mather kills
me tor it. But please sir, don’t tell
him.
My boy, you must not stay here,
yon will die. Now wait patiently
here for a little time;' I’m going away
to see a lady. We will gel a belter
place for you than this.
Thank you, sir; but would you like
to hear me sing a little hymu?
Bruised, buttered, torlorn, friend
less, motherless, biding awaay from
an infuriated lather, be had a hymn to
sing.
Yes, I will hear you sing yonr lit
tle hymn.
He raised himself on his elbow and
then sang: .
•‘Gentle Jean*, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child:
Suller me to come to Tiiee,
Fain would I to Thee be brought, *
Gracious Lord (orb'd it not,
In tbe kingdom of Thy grace,
Give a little child a place.”
That’s the litte hymn, sir. Good
bye.
The gentleman went away, came
back again in less than two hours and
climbed the ladder. There were the
chigp, and there the shavings, and
there was the little boy, with one
hand by bis side, and the other tack
ed in his bosom underneath the little
ragged shirt—dead.
A tew days’ since Harvey Me Hen
ry employed by the Roberts Torpedo
Company as a ‘shooter’ of oil wells,
set out with fifty quarts of nitro-glyo-
cine, in his wagon, to shoot a well in
Berger Hollow. He had packed bis
fifty one-qnart cans with unsnal care
in a specially constructed wagon.
The read be was obliged to take was
very hilly, and was slippery with ice,
and his horses becoming frightened
ran at breakneck speed down a steep
bill. McHenry held on to the lines,
although he knew that every jump
of the horses threatened to explode
the nitro-glycerine under his seat.
Half way down the hill he saw the
wagon wonld in all probability hit a
tree a few feet further down. ‘I
knew,’ nays MoIIcnry, ‘that I stood
very little chance cf my life by jump
ing from the wagon, but I fell that
not a bit of me would be lett it I
stuck to the seat. I sprang out
among tho rocks and brash. I was
burl so badly that I couldn’t get up.
but I retained my senses. I knew
that I was so close to the tree that I
would be torn to pieces when the ex
plosion occurred. 1 shut my eyes
and lived a year in a second. No ex
plosion came, and I glanced down the
road and saw the wheel* of the wagon
just tauch the trunk of the tree. It
had barely passed the tree when the
wagon was overturned. The horses
kept on, dragging the wagon along,
tumbling over and over as it went. I
never had known nilro-giycerine to
withstand one quarter tbe jar with
out exploding. The wagon turned
over' fbnr times’ before the horses
reached the Lx tom ol the hill. There
they brought up against a tree and
stopped. Then I tainted dead away,’

In ((ascribing a reception given in

ner in honor ot Mrs Jefferson Davis
and her daughter, recently - returned
from Euroge and just out in society,
the sooieiy-hee of tbe Picayune says :
Of course I met Mrs. Davis, who is
really queenly in looks and nearing.
She received her stranger guee s as
though they were old friends met af

The Word Wire.
Says Ruskin: ‘What do you think
the beautiful word ’wife’ comes from?
It is the great word in which the En
glish and Latin languages conquered
the French and Greek. I hope the
French will some day get^a word for
it instead of that femme. But what
do yon think it comes from? The
great value of the Saxon words is that
they mean .something. Wife means
‘weaver.’ You must either be house
wives or bonse-molhs, remember that.
In the deep sense, you either weave
men’s fortunes and embroider them,
or feed upon and bring them to decay.
Wherever a true wife comes, home is
always aronnd her. The stars may
be over her head, the glow-worm ia
the night’s cold grass may be the fire
at her feet, but home is where she is,
and for a noble woman it stretches
far around her, better than houses
ceiled with cedar or painted with ver-
million-shedding its quiet light for
those who else are homeless. This, I
believe, is the woman’s true place
aad power.*
Too Late.
The man who is tinder indictment
now for robbing the treasury, sat one
year ago this month in the brilliant
parlor ot Delmonico’s and beard him
self praised publicly by the vice-
president for having bought Indiana.
He heard the chief republicans ol tbe
country cheer his name to the echo,
and roar with approving mirth when
the medium wii h which ne had carried
Indiana was described as *a great deal
dl (Laughter).* Wbat wonder
that be should fancy himsolf a War
wick of presid- ni«, the strongest man
in the republican pirty ? The repu
