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.

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. consider themselves her rivals—like Isabel Baden." before to buikl up the University since | he Mr - Bob Palmer laughed outright, and then tho reecnt reform in the management, j 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?

This will in crease his congregation and collections. I The Monticello Times has two edi torials, one headvd “Hard on Poor Folks,” and the other “Cranks.” Both heads look as cheerful as tombstones.

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. The New York Star says there arc several very good reasons why there will be a hot and close contest over the New York State election a month hence ; and why Democrats should not atv «y her tears and mused awhile, with eyes .... • I flash in? mid cheeks flushed wit h wminih.H 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. “Now, dear, that is quite unreasonable of you.

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.

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."

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. 300 are 200 are J CoimulsflcoOT.
