Slpilcspeare is buried there in a church called Sliakspeare’s church. The city is a beautiful little town, at:d is brimful of life. Nearly ewrvthing in it bears the name of Shakspearc.the.ini- mortal poet. Our hotel was called Shakspeure’s hot“l, and e;u-h room in th«} house was named for one of Shaks- jieare’s (days of characters. I slept In the room' “Hamlet.” No, you needn’t ask if i was bothered with hi; ghost.. I was too tired and sleepy to entertain a ghost—even that of Hamlet. Each room was’ hung with pictures representing scenes in Shakspeure’s plays', and it was very elegant and cosy indeed. We, at tended services in Shakspeare’s church on Sunday, and went back in the after noon to visit, his grave and those of his f thinly. >AVe discussed the matter of Bacon ever being the author of Shaks peare’s plays, and we all agreed that it was foolish to think so for line moment. We visited the school where Shakspeare was taught Latin. We saw King’s col lege, where Shakspeare received liis ed ucation. I leaned on the same table tiptop which he wrote many of his plays, and saw the ciiair he sat in. ijBHpilifl We-returned to Liverpool again, and tiiere the party left mo, Miss Ruther ford and her party going across the channel to Paris to see the exposition. I hated to part with them, but as 1 had only gone for the benefit of the voyage, I decided to return. After staying in Liverpool;! week, I took passage on one of the “White Star Line’s” handsome vessels and cituie back to America, My return voyage was also very pleasant. I have enjoyed tlie trip extremely and feel in better health and spirits than I have felt for years. I would advise every young person especially to go to Europe. We have much to .learn from Europe and she lias very much to learn from us.

Many distinguished visitors from afar were present, prominent among them being Hon. .1 ulius Cohen, a leading merchant of the. Classic- City. Our people are all great admirers of Air. C.ohen, and as soon -as it,was learned that he was on the grounds, a delegation was ap pointed to wait upoii him and ask that he address the people on “Agricul ture.” With the modesty characteris tic to this gentleman, lie at first de clined, but upon being urged by the committee, finally consented. The dis tinguished orator was escorted to a neighboring stump, and on this lie was elevated amid deafening applause from the assembled multitude. Would that I had Mr. Cohen’s address in full, but not being a stenographer, will have to content myself with reporting his most impressive and eloquent passages. Air. Cohen said: “Ladies ., and Gentlemen—Alliance- men and Allianoeesses: This call to address you upon the great subject <jf Agriculture has taken me somewhat by surprise, but I have never as yet re fused to obey a command from the men to whom we all owe our daily bread.

The itcise \v:is sufficient to attract the atten tion of everybody ou the streets, and by the time a Banxku reporter was on the scene there was a great crowd around. The fall was aserions one, -for we found 1 our of the laborers lying fiat upon the ground with the scaffold timbers about them, and bleediftg freely fee in the wounds indicted by~the fall. The other hands were busily engaged pulling the wounded,men from the timbers and ap plying water to their bruises till the doctors came.

Burt Hill jumped from the falling mass and saved himself from injury. Coleman Parker swung, to- the "poles of the frame work and thus escaped falling.

Allianeeinen, iny heart bounds at tho simple mention of that great, living question. Many a long night have I laid awake wracking my tired brain with that important issue, * What, is Agriculture V This question, gentlemen, has taxed the brains of statesmen from the days of Demosthenes to the reign of your present honored representative Pope Gholston. But I can this day exclaim, ‘Eureka!’ J.adieSiand gentlemen, Agriculture is simply Agriculture. [Great applause.] Is there a man beneath the sound of my voice who dares dispute this statement? [Cries of “Trot him out.”] AVith this great issue settled beyond dispute, let us now annalize the condition of.the far mer, and see what is best for bis pros perity. Friends, we all admit that the middle man is the fellow that must be pumped out. ' Here you are selling your cotton at nine cents a pound and buy it back at twenty cents.. Fellow farmers, wKy not abandon the ruinous policy of planting cotton in its crude state? Improve your seed, and in stead 1 f growing lint .cotton raise all manner of manufactured goods? [A voice, ‘Xow you are whooping.’] Let every farmer be his own cotton mill. Yon have certainly an earthly Eden here in the Free State of Aladison, for in eom- ing to Danielsville .to-day Ed Smith, pointed out to me the very old apple tree from which Adam, pulled the for bidden fruit., Lnever in my life saw such a country as you have. I noticed -on the road-side this morning the ftnest. potatoe patch my eyes ever rested upon. Why, my friends, from the look of the vines and blooms they will make 15,000 bushels per acre.

King arose and begged to inter rupt the speaker by . explaining that thev were cow peas, and not sweet po tatoes, to which he referred.] Sir, am I or you delivering this speech ?” ex claimed the orator in a tone of wither- contempt. “I am aware that the e potatoe slips them, so that a >wa upon the wSEmwim the nr.esr potatoes w limbs. •.unit -hop friend King S' ems to b< cultural critic, I would mk “Mv heart j gentlemen, has always throbbed in sympathy with tlie farmer, and I have watched liis career willi anx ious eye.

If I am ever elected to congress, gentle meu, I shall introduce a bill to pension this elass of maimed heroes, [A voice, “How about the Texes pony?”] The Georgia mule is a necessity—the Texas pony a luxury.

But I have, solved this problem. I say let stock continue to run at large. [Cheers and hisses from the fence and no-fence men.] Tear away the fences. [‘Yes, and let the crops be eaten up,’ replied a voice.] Xo, mv friend, that is not necessary.

R. .Mr. Shewed Makes Known His Griev ances Against the Georgia Railroad. It was rumored yesterday that Air Shewell of this city would enter suit against the Georgia Railroad. Inquiring cf him the particulars of of tlie case, lie told them to a Banner reporter as follows: “Some days ago my family weredbwn the road on a visit of several days, AVhen they started home they went to the depot of the Georgia railroad at the tovn where they were visiting and found it closed. They were thus pre vented from purchasing [tickets to Ath ens, and when they boarded the train and were approached by the conductor they toldjiim that they had no tiekets, having been prevented from purchas ing them for the reason I have given. The conductor persisted, however, in charging them extra fare for not hav ing purchased tickets. 1 think it was unjust, and I am going to hare the matter looked into by the Commission ers. I think I am entitled to bring suit against the road, and I am going to write to Alajor Green to-day about it.

Brunswick, Ga., July 19.— The Brunswick Times prints a most re markable story there—a genuine sensa tion or the biggest canard ever pub lished by a papor." . It is to the effect that a band of armed men, organized and capable of being gotten together at any moment, have sworn that Wool folk shall' die. The writer in the Times asserts that the story was told him on- St. Simons island, and tho Times man believes it . 9S H -J and publishes it as a fact. The determination that AVoolfolk should die was made by tiiis band on the day of the killing of tlie AVoolfolk family.

It was held while the coroner’s jury was sitting, anil it was decided that AVoolfolk there, and then be killed. Officers, howeves, carried trie prison er to the Alaeon jail, and though the avengers werg after the culprit on horseback, they decided to not Carry out their intentions then. On -the trial at Alaeon twenty-six / " / of the clan were present in court,amietl to the teeth. “Had that jury given a verdict in AVoolfolk’s favor we would have rid dled him with bullets.” Things were watched after that, and every move of Captain Rutherford was kept up with. AVhen AA'oolfolk'was pn trial at Perry a representative delegation from the avengers was there. The narrator tells the reporter: “I went, and if AA'oolfolk had not been pronounced guilty again I would have bepn one of those who have made it their business to put an end to this bruj:c.” The story is given for wliat it Is worth. The reporter says his informant is a prominent resident of Brunswick, and that lie left that place and Was at Perry during the last trial of AVoolfolk. g Another AVninnn Much an«f tl Murderer Caught This Time. iecial to ihe Banner.
