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.

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 Show to tho World.

Parper City in on a boom, and will soon rival her sister city of Athens. Besides the Pioneer piper mills, then is at this place a church, school, post' office and blsnks aiih shop. We low to see it prosper, even if the United States government did reluse to call it Paper City and tried to crush 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.

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.

Stocks in interior towns up to that date were 362,430, bales agairst 317- 588 bales in 1880. Total visible supply on Friday night was 3,124,105 bales against 2,926,450 last year, and 2,630,614 in 1880. These figures indicate an in crease in the amount of cotton in sight last Friday of 197,655 bales as com pared with 1881, and as compared 1880 of 473,491 bales. Middling cotten in Liverpool last Friday sold for 6 7 16, at same date last year 6$ 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 ?
