jplppBgamer. Tuesday, December 23,18?9. General Mahone has been elveted United Slates Senator from Vir ginia. ATHENS WEEKLY B A N N E R, DECEMBER 6, 8 1 7 9 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 culator and figure out just how much, 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 ner, who, after every hand, informs yon that "If you had done so and so, we should have made so and so,’’ This is the remedy: ‘My favorite retort to hun is to ask if he has ever beard the •tory of ‘your uncle and your aunt V If ho has lie does not want to hear it again and is silent. It'liejluu not, and innocently falls into the trap by ex pressing a desire to hear it, I say in a solemn voice, ‘If your aunt liad .-been a man she would have been your an cle.”’ 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 ceed II. P. Farrow in the office of United States district attorney for Georgia. Farrow’s term will expire next February. It will bo gratifying to the talented representative from the Ninth, to kuow that his brass band Concerning the appointment of census commissioners, a cones] ond- ent of the Atlanta Constitution says the members from Georgia will agree to leave the matter in the hands ot our senators to see that no objectionable parties are confirmed. The only stir is over who shall be these commis sioners. Georgia has 2l>7 applicants. Pledger, the colored statesman from not known in many a year, and that will long be remembered. What it was that induced the unhappy gentles man t^lay such rude hands upon himself we know not, and probably will ne-er know. All the dreams stances point to a mind diseased,— from physical infirmity ] erhaps, per haps from aome written trouble of the brain that would not be razed out— some rooted sorrow that could not be plucked from the memory. If the latter, we care not to look behind the veil that shrouds from public gaze the secret agony that caused him—“mad from life’s history”—to rush to “death’s mystery.’’ We only sorrow that, in the hour of his darkest gloom, he did not or could not keep steadily before him the image of the Man of Sorrows, whose patient life and whose agony he had so often and so elo quently preached;—that he dil not welcome nlHicticu as a friend—as a touch-stone God was laying to his soul, and extract from it the golden fruit that Christian philosophy tells us lies hidden iu the husk ,oi every misery.
