NO NEED TO FEAR.
THE i\SOI.
JStFS BIL
There need be no fear among tlie tax
payers of Clarke county that the Insol
vent costs bill will pass the legislature.
The bill audits pernicious measures
will go no further than where it now
is, and if Mr. Tuck ever sees lit to bring
It before tiie legislature it will be
crushed so lar into the sea of oblivion
that not a ripple will mark its resting
.place. We would prefer to see Mr.
Tuck kill the bill himself' by a speedy
withdrawal and'thus redeem the error
he has misguidedly made, and show to
his constituents that he is ever ready to
do their bidding. We believe that here
is no one who would be more willing
than Mr Tuck to acknowledge an error
and correct it when it so materiaUy
wronged the people of Clarke county
as this.
We believe he will do it. Every
evidence goe" to convince us that he
will. The very fact that the amount of
insolvent costs was left blank tells us
in no mistaken accents that Mr. Tuck
felt shaky out about the bill even from
thsroutset, and we feel certain that he
is now convinced that his constituents
are violently opposed to the measure
and will speedily withdraw* it.
But let that be as it may, the bill will |
never be made effective. Even if we
are mistaken in our conception of Mr.
Tuck’s loyalty to his constituents, even
if he not only suffers the bill to proceed
its pernicious career, but urges it with
all his might, it will avail nothing.
There are plenty of true, loyal,and fair-
minded men in the Georgia Legislature
that will recognize in the Clarke county
Insolvent Costs bill an unjust law and
will rise up in their power and crush it
to a timely death.
Oh no! the abused tax payers of
Clarke county need fear no ill.
I Mr. Tuck’s bill is uill lying in s ak
before the Georgia legislature. We do
not know whether the blank has been
filled out stipulating the amount ol in
solvent costs to be paid Solicitor Gen
eral Russell add thus naming the extri
amount of taxation which the people
of Clarke mint pay «? not. We do not
even know -whether Mr. Tuck has taken
the trouble to worry his mind with any
calculation 6f what amount would be
fiest to put in th.:t blank. In fact we
do not know* how Mr. Tuck and his
conscience will settle the matter iu any
way or particular.
But we do kubw this, that his bill
has already caused just indignation at
home among his constituents, and ho
matter what amount he and Solicitor
General Russell see fit to place in that
blank, the principle will be just the
same whether it be $500 or $5000, and
the oppressed tax-payers of Clarke
county will so consider it.
The longer Mr. Tuck suffers this odi
ous measure to hover over his cc nstitu-
ents in defiance of their almost unani
mous and violent opposition, the mort
will he increase their indignation. We
do not understand the persistence oi
Mr. Tuck. Does he still pleae that lie is
not satisfied that, a majority^ ol‘his con
stituents oppose the bill? D<*e$ lie
think chat in the insolvent costs bill lie
will work out the salvation of Clarke
county, and that in t-p’te of the tax
payers opposition he will persist iu
pushing liis bill through because he
knows best what the people want?
Really does Mr. Tuck think he is serv
ing his constituents by urging the
passage of this bill, or is it that he
values the wishes of his friend, Mr.
Russell, more highly than that of his
constituents ?
We fail to see the motives that
prompt Mr. Tuck in this matter, bill
in friendly advice we would urge him
to withdraw the bill at once ar.d atone
for his errors in the future by a contin
uation of a conscientious discharge of
his duty which we believe he has ad
hered to in every other measure.
It has been suggested that the whip
ping post be brought out forthe wife
beater. This is a good idea, but we
want to know what would be good for
tiie fellow who licks his mother-in-law?
A great many of the - newspapers are
thinking of boycotting those who want
the editor and reporters to vote for the
m ist popular, and the most handsome
young lady at the next church fair.
We join the movement.
THE UNIVERSITY’S FUTURE-
The late unfavorable action .of the
Georgia Legislature on the .University
appropriation biL ha9 brought up *-he
question in more complex shape than
ever before. What is the future of the
Uuivsrsity,of Georgia?
For many years past this question
has addressed itself to the people
Georgia and has demanded of the State
a satisfactory solution, but yet it can
not be answered. The University has
has had ^several antagonistic factions
to battle with lor a long time since, and
so long as they continue to confront it
no hope for a higher elevation Ilian it
already is experiencing can be enter
tained. The first and perhaps the
aiost prominent of these factions is the
erroneous idea prevalent among the
farming classes of some sections ol‘ the
State that the- Univertity is aristocrat
ic in its environments and discipline
and is an institution sustained by the
poor man’s taxes to .educate, the rich
man’s son. It is to this belief, so false
ly baaed, that much of the opposition
of the legislature to appropriations
mist be alleged.
The average representative from
‘ v» ay-hack” comes loaded with instruc
S ions from his deluded constituents to.
•‘•squelch the University and give u
omracit schools.”-.
The University does not conflict with
the public schools. On the contrary
they are one dependent upon the other,
the schools feeding clio University with
pupiis, the Tniversity in turn feeding
the schools with th rough teacln rs.
But this is not taken : into considera
tion often by the legislature and it is a
standing routine in the assembly to get-
up'an appropriation bill aunnully, and
defeat it. We had hoped it would have
teen different with the last, especially
Last night thro' a haunted land I went,
Upon whose margins ocean leant
Waveless and soundless save for sighs
That with tiio twilight airs were blent.
And passing, hearing never stir
Of footfall or the startled whir
Of birds, I said: **ln this land lies
Sleep's home, the secret haunt of her.” •
And then t came upon a stone
Whereon these words were writ alone:
“The soyl who reads, its body di<»3 .
Far hence, that moment, without moan.”
And then I knew that I was dead.
And that the'hhadow overhead
Was not the darkness of thj skies.
But that from which my soul had fled.
—William Sharp.
TAKEN AT HIS WORD.
Nellie Palmer was lying on the lounge in
her pretty bedroom, crying and looking very
unhappy. And yet she had been married
only six months, and to such a “nice, hand
some man," as all the young ladies declared,
that surely she ought to have been happy
with him. And so she had been until, to tell
the truth, Mr. Bob Palmer, forgetting, or
seeming to forget, that he was a married
man, had recently taken to flirting with
these very young ladies, at all the parties in
Middleton, leaving his wife to take care of
herself. Surely it was enough to make any
six months wife cry, especially one sosensi
tive as Nellie.
Not that Mr. P.obert Palmer loved his little
wife a bit les3 than on the day of his mar
riage, neither that Nellie suspected him of it,
or for a moment doubted his morals, any
more than she did his constancy. But Mr.
Palmer was a gay young man, and loved to
amuse himself and to be amused.
“Hallo! been crying again. 1 declare!” ex
claimed Air. Bob Palmer, suddenly ceasing
his little whistle, as he entered the room, on
returning from his office: “What’s the mat
ter now, Nellie? Canary refused to sing, or
Mine. Viglini not put flowers enough in your
bonnet f” •
“Oh, Bobl how can your sobbed Nellie,
beginning afresh. If yon know how much a
wife thinks of her husband’s love, and"
Here poor Nellie broke down. Mr.
Palmer’s eyes opened very wide.
“Whew!" whistled he; “if this isn’t really
absurd. So she’s jealous!”
“Indeed, no, dear Bob! But—but”—she
, could hardly speak for the choking in her

THE WEATHER AND THE COT
TON.
Never have the farmers of this sec
lion seen eueh weather for gathering
their crops, and never were there such
sunny days for harvesting as hav
beamed down on the happy farmers this
fall.
The cotton has been brought open
rapidly, and the fields have been white
with the fleecy staple constantly. Tlie
farmers have been kept busily engaged
with the work of gathering in the cotton
crop, and from every section comes tlie
glad tidings that a more abundant yield
was never reaped,
The seasons have been most favorable
for cotton all the year, especially the
older crop. These seasons have con
tinued through the cotton picking pe
riod, and there will be but little storm-
beatened cotton sent into the markets
this year.
Such weather as has prevailed for the
past few days, if it continues, will soon
cause the entire crop to open, and the
farmers will have ample time to sow a
large acreage of fall oats.

Baden."

But will it do so? Ah! there’s the rub.
With all these views of the situation,
and with the recent action of the 1< gis-
lature on the appropriation bill, who
can predict what future the University
will reap?

MR. TUCK'S BILL.
It was observed at West Point Thurs
day that Gen. Sherman’s oyes were full
of teara. Possibly he wept because
t : ie band would play “Marching
Through Georgia.”
If the band had struck up “Dixie” his
tears would have been transpired to a
movement in the heel and toe.

grew angry.
“You’re an absurd little fool, Nellie," he
said. “As if Isabel Darien were anything to
me beyond a pleasant and agreeable young
woman to amuse one’s self with at a party.
Nonsense!”
“She don’t think so,” said Nellie; “and—
and the others don't think so. They all think
you are getting tired of your wife, and Isabel
flatters herself that she has cut me out, and
is trying to let people seo it.”
“Fiddlesticks!” 6aid Bob, rising impa
tiently from the lounge. “I’m astonished at
you, Nellie, and had really given you credit
for more sense, as well as temper,” he added,
severely. “I wish you’d amuse yourself in
society, as i do, instead of moping about in
this fashion. You can't expect to have me
tied to your apron strings; and I’d much
rather seo you flirting a little yourself than
6kulking away in boks and corners, like a
6pider, watching your butterfly of a husband
to seo if you can detect him in doing wrong.
You make me quite ashamed of you, I de
clare.”
Mr. Palmer took his bat and walked out of
tho room, with an air of mingled dignity and
injured innocence. His wife sat up, wiped
be over sanguine of success. There is
every reason why the Democrats should •
be on tlie alert, for the New York i
State election would be a great score
for the Democracy.
with that flirting fellow, Tom HarriiC-u. And
all the time tho handsome stronger never left
her side. It was perfectly evident that ho
admired her. j
“If sho were not a married woman
would certainly fall in love with her, 6fie,
my wife," and he felt a little resentful of the
admiration;
Nellie Palmer had never sung moresweetly
or danced more gracefully than on this even
ing.
“Don’t yon think, Nell, yon have danced
enough for one night,"-said her husband, to
ward the close of the evening, “for a mar
ried woman?” he added.
“Perhaps so," she answered, cheerfully,
“but I’ve enjoyed myself so much! Really,
I almost forgot I was a married woman, and
felt like a girl again."
“And behaved like one," he said, rather
coolly. “Who is that fellow that has been in
attendance upon you all the evening?” he in
quired, as they walked down stairs.
'“That remarkably handsome man, with
tho expressive dark eyes, do you mean?’
“1 never noticed his eyes or that ho was at
all handsome," he answered, stiffly.
“Oh, I thought you meant Capt. Lovell of
the artillery. Ah here he is—just one mom
ent, dear, I quite forgot”
And Nellie spoke a few words to the cap
tain in passing, of which her husband could
distinguish only something about “that
book.”
“Upon my word,” he said, sarcastically,
“you appear very iatiraate already.”
“Because, love, we’ve discovered that we’re
congenial spirits. Wo like the same things,
books, music, scenery; indeed, everything,
and have tho same opinions on most subjects.
You known how pleasant it is to meet with
one who can comprehend you, not your outer
self merely, but with a sort of soul sympathy."
“Soul fiddlesticks!"
“You never did have much sentiment.
Bob," sighed Nellie, in an injured tone.
“Sentiment be hanged! Come, Nellie, be
quick with your wrappings. It has been a
stupid evening, and I shall be glad to get
home and to bed."
When Robert Palmer cam© home next day,
he found his wife, not crying, as before, in
her bed room, but iu the parlor, practicing a
uow song.
“Capt. Lovell called this morning," she
said, “and 1 have promised to sing this for
him at Mrs. Campbell's."
“Ah?" he answered, with an expression of
indifference; and as his wife again struck up
with the first fc-w notes, he muttered to him
self, “Confound Capt. Lovell!”
At Mrs. Campbell’s, Capt. Lovell was again
in attendance upon pretty Mrs Palmer; and
then other gentlemen discovered her attrac
tions, her piquancy, and coquettishness, and
flirtableness; and so, in a very few weeks,
Mrs. Palmer was a belie. She did not seem
in the least to care who ber husband was at
tending upon, and, indeed, be could rarely
get a word with her at all. when at the gay
assemblies which they constantly frequented.
He sometimes > gave her a hint that sho was
“no longer a girl,” and that be was her hus
band; but she only laughed, and said there
was no harm done, and that she was enjoy
ing herself so delightfully, and felt her
self more a belle than even when a girl—
which was true, because she had not flirted
then, being absorbed, heart and soul, in Bob
Palmer. But now it was Capt. Lovell who
appeared chiefly to occupy her thoughts, as
well as a good part of her time. She sung
and danced with him; she read the books he
sent; and so frequent were his visits, so con
stant his attentions, that at last Mr. Robert
Palmer’s wrath burst forth.
“Ellen,” he said, as he one day closed the
door on the departing captain, “I really can
not permit this to go Oa any longer. Your
conduct to me is most unexpected—most as
tounding. You are by far too intimate with
this fellow, Lovell. He is constantly in my
house; and last evening ho scarcely left your
side, while you stood, for two hours, tho cen
ter of a group of chattering, grinning popin
jays, like himself.”
“Why, Bob, you yourself blamed me for
playing wall flower aud ‘spider,’ and said
you were ashamed of me.”
“1 am much more ashamed of you now,
he retorted severely.

We fall to sec why Mr. Turk should
persist in pushing his bill through the

apprized of the almost unanimous op
position to its passage on the part of
bis constituents.
The merits of the bill have been freely

every phase.

We believe Mr. Tuck’s conscience

A rain would be acceptable now.
The dust is terrific and the farmers
need suitable seasons for sowing their

Mr. Flemming, of Richmond, and
Mr Tuck, of Clarke, openly state that,
in their opinion, such legislation as
the Olive bill will materialy reduce the

load and yet they vote for it 1
We clip the above from
the Atlanta Constitution of
the 12th iust., in the report of
the legislative action on the Olive bill.
Mr. Tuck’s friends will read it with re
gret. One eightlftqf of the entire stock
of the Georgia railroad is owned in and
around Athens. A great deal of it is
in the hands of charitable institutions,
educational institutions, widow’s and
orphans. This vote of his is a direct
blow at tlia Interests of h large class of

er each day and we think Mr. Tuck
after being convicted of his error is due
his constituents that respect to with
draw his bill without further parading
it before the legislature end the gaze of
the world in defiance of his consti
tuent’s wishes.
It has been said by the instigators of
this bill that so scon as the majority of
the tax-payers’ opposition to the insol
vent costs being paid the Solicitor-Gen
eral was clearly made known the bill
would be withdrawn.
What assurance of this fact does Mr.
Tuck desire? Did he not see from l i
recent visit among his constituents that
the whole city and county almost to a
man are violently opposed to the bill ?
Is it possible that he could have come
to Athens and not been apprized of tlie
bitter opposition to % bia bill on every
side ?
If so, he surely must not be as sus
ceptible as be might be to public senti
ment, but if he has discovered that he
has done his constituents a wrong by
allowing this insolvent costs bill to go
before-the legislatnre, for the sake of
right let him withdraw it.

brighter, and her spirits more buoyant, as
sho entered Mi s. Johnston’s crowded draw
ing rooms. Scarcely had they paid their re
spects to the hostess when Mr. Palmer ac
costed, or rather was accosted, by Miss
Baden, a brilliant, confident girl, who tried
to ensnare him before his marriage; and, at
the same moment, a gentleman addressed
Mrs. Palmer. She answered mechanically,
N ational j unable to withdraw her attention from her
husband and his companion, until, seeing
something in Miss Baden’s glance at herself
which she did not like, her pride again
awoke, and she turned, as with a sudden de
termination, to the gentleman at her side.
He was a recent comer to the town, very
pleasant and handsome, and Nellie
Palmer forthwith began to try and
make herself agreeable to him. He
so . pleased, and was himself
so agreeable, that it soon cost her no
effort to converse; and then her old lively
spirits returned; and, to her surprise, she
found that she was enjoying herself. Her
husband didn’t much notice this, but Miss
Baden did; and her flirtation with Mr. Pal
mer lost much of its charm, now that his
wife did not appear mortified and jealous,
and that people couldn’t seo that she was so.
Wherefore Miss Baden grew indifferent, and
Mr. Palmer bethought himself to look after
his wife. Not finding her looking over the
photograph albums, nor talking to deaf old
Mr. Brown, neither In any of the “holes and
corners" which Bhe was wont of late to fre
quent, he became rather puzzled.
“She’s got in the dumps again, I suppose,”
was his thought, “aud is trying to disguise it
under the pretense of being ilL Dare say I
shall find her crying or fainting away in the
conservatory, with fans and smelling bottles
round her, or perhaps she’s gone home.”
At that instant a little laugh at his elbow
startled him, and turning, he saw Nellie^
bright and flushed, talking to a very hand
some man, who appeared quite absorbed in
her. Mr. Palmer stared a moment at the un
conscious couple.
“Why, the deuce!” was his thought, “what
on earth can they have been talking about
all this whileF’ Then, suddenly meeting his
wife’s eye, ho smiled and whispered, “En
joying yourself Neill”
“Ob, yes, dear, delightfully 1 Don’t trouble
yourself about me, pray."
He passed on, but didn’t gq far, and as he
stood, whispering soft nothings to sentimen
tal Kate Marshall, his eyes occasionally wan
dered to his wife. How pretty she was look
ing and bow gay sho was, and how coquet-
tishly sho was exchanging light repartee
“What is Miss Baden to me?" he demanded,
angrily.
“And what is Capt. Lovell to me?”
“You encourage him, madam. You flirt
with him."
“Ar. you do with Isabel Baden."
“A mau may do what is not permissible in
a woman.”
“Ah, that is it I” said Nellie, with her old
sigh. “You men may neglect a wife—may
wear out her heart and life with anguish—
may expose her to the pity or ridicule of all
her acquaintance by shdwing devotion to
another; and she, poor slave, must not pre
sume to turn, as may even the trampled
worm, but must bear all in meek silence,
never even imploring mercy, lest she should
offend her lord. But I have had enough of
this, Bob; and now as you do to me will I do
to you. If you go on flirting, so will L I
know you don’t care a bit more for Isabel
Baden than I do for Capt. Lovell; but I will
not bo neglected and humbled in tlie sight of
the whole world. I am not a slave, but a
wife, and demand the honor due to mei”
Her mood was a new one to her husband.
She sat erect and proud, looking him steadily
in the face, with bright, cleffir eyes, in whose
depths he could still read great tenderness;
and he at once comprehended the whole
matter.
Barrios aad His Wife.
In W. E. Curtis’ sketch of Guatemala there
is nothing more interesting than the author’s
description of the career of the late president
Barrios and his wife, who is said to have
been “the loveliest woman in Guatemala.”
Barrios is described as a wise and humane
ruler, who had the welfare of his country
deeply at heart. Knowing the uncertainty
of those who wear the crowns in the thick of
political turmoil aud intrigue he made ample
provision for his family by purchasing for
his wife a handsome residence on Fifth
avenue, near Sixty-fifth street, in New York.
He likewise invested $1,009,000 iu real estate
and insured bis life for $250,000.
There were three attempts made upon the
life of Barrios, but he never quailed and
went about boldly. The following incident
will throw some light on his personal cour
age: He was on his way to the theatre when
three men who had been employed by an
ambitious politician for the purpose threw a
bomb at aim. Ho coolly stepped on the fuse,
extinguished it, picked up the dose of death
that had been prepared for him, aud re
marked to his companion, “The rascals don’t
know how to kill me.” He was afterwards
shot at and killed by some ono lying in ambus
cade as he rode forth to avenge tho death of
his son.—The Epoch.
