Dr. Fvlton is under obligations to
the Hon. Mr Ellis, member of oon-
gross from Louisiana.
The lion. E. John Ellis, of Louis*
iuna, seems inolincd to shoot off his
mouth prematurely.
QA bill has passed the House of Re]
resonlatives providing for tile holding
ot U nited Slates District and Circuit
Courts at Macon.
An American lady, who Ims lived
in Eng'.aud, says: 'For the Oriel,
English women dress horribly, hut tor
dinner parties and balls they are
lovely. They wear usually eiih£|
while or blade, and their skins JBf
complexions are dazzling. But evbry
English woman, when she gets to be
35 or 40, has a rash break out on her
nose. I believe it is because they
drink so much. They are always
drinking \\ ioe and all that with their
meals. They don’t get faded and
worn looking as we American women
do, but they get very stmt, and their
beautiful complexion gets to be really
'beery.' ”
Col. Cole says the trip from SL
Louis to Atlanta over bis railway lines
will bo made on sled rails entirely,
and in 25 hoars.
Dr. Felton hss been dining with
Fernando Wood. So it may safely be
said that Dr. Feltou has had at least
one good dinner since be has been in
W ashington.
Now, just draw your lightning cals

cash down, your uncle Billy Felton
would take for the boom the lion. E.
John Ellis gave him.
lion. Phil Cook lias introduced a
bit 1 placing a tax of ten dollars on
ry pistol manufactured in the
United Slates, and twenty dollars tax
on every pistol imported.
In his new book on “Whist,” Ca
vendish gives iiu admirable method
of shutting up a nuisance who is to
be met with at three tables out ot
four. This is the “If you had 11 part

band concerts and dram parades have
been usual in the United States Ar
my in time ot peace ever since the
Uaite^Statcs have had an aruiy, and
that none of the forty-odd congresses
wo have bad—many of them doubti
less containing religions, God-loving
members—had, ao far as we were
aware, passed such a bill,'we doubted
whether the coucerts and parades
were considered of such a vital rela
tionship to the government
ot the army and navy as to make
them subject to legislation under the
clause of the constitution to which
Mr. Speer refers, and it seemed to us,
•rom the apparent surprise with which
congressmen Cox and White heard
the announ.ement of the ^Dili, that
they labored under the same doubt.
This doubt was all we meant to ex
press by the language to which Mr.
Speer refers. Wo have no objection
to the hill at all, and, as one of its
objects seems to bo to give rest to the
soldiers, we would sugg^t.tliat it the
prohibition he extended to guard
mounting it would give them more
rest. We wish the bill well, aud trust
it may inure to the personal, political
and spiritual welfare of all concerned,
and to none in greater degree or more
bountiful measure than to the talented
representative from the Ninth.
Virginia owes aboutlhirty million-.
Governor Holliday is reported to have
said that the Moffett liquor law paid
8472,000 of it, and if properly cn-
tbreed would have {raid a million.
The “Reading Room” in Atlanta,
so well and favorably known to mem
bers of the Legislature during the last
several years, has been purchased by
Mr. Ed. Mercer, also widely known
among Georgia legislators.
It is said that Hon. John S. Big-
by, of Newuan, will ptobably suc

United States district attorney for
Georgia. Farrow’s term will expire
next February.
