Gainesville, Ga. Lumber In 1bc Northwest. Borne surprising figures linvo just t>een published anent tho grout lumber industry of tho Pacific Northwest. They illustrate how bountifully thpt expansive region hns been timbered. In Washington and Oregon there arc over one thousand lumber and wood working Grins, representing iv combined capital of nearly $30,000, - 000 and employing 25,000 men. Tho value of the product is ill tho neighbor hood of $25,000,000 yearly. Ten millions of dollars are annually brought into these two States from foreign rtnd domestic points in exchange for lum ber, lath, shingles and other wood products. In Washington the cut of lumber for 1892 showed a largo decrease over the j preceding year by reason of the fact that the building boom beginning in 1890 began to subside during the latter part of 1891. Tho cargo trade, how ever, during 1892, and tho coastwise movement, considerably increased, and the Eastern demand for rail shipments of lumber from Washington increased fully twenty per cent. According to indications, this year’s record will eclipse all others of the past in tho commercial progress of the Pacific Northwest. The Puget Sound Lumber man estimates that the standing t imber in the Stutc of Washington amounts in round numbers to 413,000,000,000 feet. Tn order to grasp the magnitude of these figures let tho reader, in bis mind’s eye, imagine a solid train, 15,- 000 feet of lumber to the ear, stretch ing 154,000 miles, or six times around tho earth, and then enough cars left to make a train stretching from Tacoma across the continent to tho middle of the Atlantic. Or, taking fifty cars for a train, it would take 542,000 trains to transport the standing timber of Washington. Heal Fighting Dervishes. It is easier to turn a hungry I’gcr aside from his prey than a thoroughly excited dervish from his swoop on e,n an enemy, says a military correspon dent. His half brother in fanaticism and creed, the Indian or Afghan Ghazi, is terrible, but the African and Arab dervish is superlatively awful, with an incurable delirium for his opponent’s gore. Howling and whirling dervishes, such as travelers ure “specially con ducted to see when visiting the East,” are a comparatively harmless sort of lunatics compared with those types of African bigots who, “converted” to Mahdism, burn to run amuck with tho rest of unbelieving humanity. Onco fairly bitten with the tarantula of Mos lem sectarian zeal, the proselyte is consumed with the belief that the* de lights of the seventh or any number of heavens await him if he can only en gage in sturdy, steady butchery of “infidels” of his own or any race. It is a matter of indifference to him if in the operation, while he sheathes his sword in his and his prophet’s enemy, the latter is doing the same to him.

Samuel C. Dunlop, appointed United States marshal for the North ern district of Georgia, was born in Gwinnett county about forty-five years ago. Ho received his schooling at Lawrenoevillo and in state institu tions. Ho began practicing law at Monroe, Ga., but, marrying a Jndy whoso home wus near Gainesville, he soon moved thcro, and ever afterward practiced in that town. Ho is a fine lawyer, and his practice grew more and more profitable. He was attorney for tlio Richmond and Danville at Gainesville, and. for somo years was Unitod States commissioner. He was fortunate in real estate investments, und lias u comfortable fortune. Until recently, ho had no idoaof be ing n candidate for marshal. It was not until a deadlock was evident between Itenfroc and Dismuke that ho conclud ed to make tho raced Hon Carter Tate, congressman from the ninth, mndo u strong pull for his friend, Air. Dunlap. Solicitor General Howard Thompson lent his aid. Tho compromise candi date was urged with strong endorse- mentB^behiml him. and lie wont thrmigh a winner. Tho appointment gives complete satisfaction.

Justice Jackson, in announcing the postpone lit of the further considera tion of the Central railroad ease until the 2(>th of June, clearly indicated his determination to wind up the litiga tion as soon sh possible.

Lieutenant. Satterleo has a map of Georgia hanging in his office at th« capital which is different from any in tho state. Ho took one of tho regu lation maps and has dotted it with circles and flags—in yellow, blue, red and other colors. Ho can tell at a glance where each company is located und where its regimental or battalion headquarters are. Tho flags indicate tho headquarters. If it is a blue flag it means infantry. A yellow flag de notes cavalry headquarters. A yellow oirele shows an infantry company. Tf there is a black ring inside either the blue or the yellow it denotes that the troops there are colored. There is a state flag at Griffin to denote tho encampment.. Savannah has tho greatest number of circles and flags. Him has something of every kind, and tho whole face of tho earth down there would appear to ho covered by militia. Lieutenant Satterleo is tracing the route which each company should t ake to get to t lio stuto encampment nr to a common point in ease of mobilization.

I*o1 tillx f s Svntrnce fonimiilcil. Governor Northen has signed tho order commuting the sentence of Dr. Von Polnitz from hanging to impris onment in tho penitentiary for life. Tlio governor had been bcsefgod by petitioners, lawyers, personal letters and every form of apponl that could ho made. Great pressure was brought to bear on him to save tho man’s life. The mother and the sister of tho con demned man kept writing to his ex cellency to spuro the prisoner’s life. On tho other hand the family of tho murdered woman begged tho executivs to let the man hang. They said that ho dosorvod tho extreme penalty of the law. They told how dear the victim was to them. The court had pro nounced tlio mnn guilty and sentenced him to death. After weighing every thing oarofully, the governor decided to sign thoorder commuting tho sentence to imprisonment in tho penitentiary for life. Hero aro tlio governor’s reu sons for tho commutation: Whereas, Very stroiie appeals havo lieon made to mo Involving clemency in Ills bulialf urging that tlio crimo waa not of snob a charac ter as to doservo the ext none penalty of tho law That there was no iltroct proof which es tablished ao intention to lilt his wifo though h’s conduct was brutal.

The returns of tho school census show that in south Georgia the in crease in the school population has been heavy, while in tho middle and upper pnrtH of the state, tho counties have not, gone ahead much, and in some instances t hey have gone back wards. A gratifying showing is in tho decrease in illiteracy in the state. I The census givcH the number of school (liildrtu in Utirgin, their nines, I color, sex, whether they have ever attended selimtl of any kind or not, j whether they eatt rend and write, tho number of blind and deaf and dumb and idiots. Savannah makes tho best showing as to education. In tlio wliolo city there nre only ten white boys anil four white girls, between the ages uf ten and eighteen, who cannot read and write. Out of a total white school population of 5,398 only fourteen are so illiterate that they cannot read anil write. This is a high testimonial to the school sys tem uf that city. In a culoroil popu lation uf 5,871 there aro 538 who can- nut read and write. That, iH consider ed a very small per cent. Chatham county lias a total school population of 15,530, an increase since 1888 of 2,844, or 18 per cent. Dooly county makes a wonderful showing, its iucreaso in school popu lation in the last five years being 90 per cent. Tati nail's iucreaso lias boon 40 per cent, Montgomery’s 41 per cent. Tatnnil county hits 1,319 moro school children now than she had live years hack, and Montgomery hns 1,018 more school children in 1893 than she had in 1888. Hancock county has lost 508 school children. Rockdale hail eight moro school children in 1888 than in 1893. The town of Ousueta, in Cliathoo- chco county, makes a lino showing. In that town there is not a single white child, of school age, that cannot read and write. And thcro are only seven negro children in tho town who aro illiterate to tho oxtent that they can not read and write. There are 118 school children in tlio place. Habersham county hns 980 school children who are illiterate. This coun ty hns gained 259 children since tho lust census. Towns county makes a fair showing of children who have had a schooling, but the gain there has not been largo. Throughout, the mountain counties many families havo gone away to Utah, Texas and other south and southwest ern states and territories. When tho statistics aro compiled they will he deeply interesting and useful. They will refute the charge of Georgia’s illiteracy. Thcro is no doubt in the world that tbero are sec tions of Georgia which enjoy ns good school systems ns the most favored states. Georgia has lino teachers in spots, and whoro thcro aro good schools tlio children can read and writo. Tho gains in population in south Georgia aro explained by the fact that new railroads have been built through that part of tliestntonnd have brought in now settlers. Those sec tions which exhibit gains in tho num ber of school population will get larger proportions of tho school fund than they linvo enjoyed in the past. Captain Bradwell, the state school commissioner, is compiling tho statis tics with great oaro. I’assknouhs on a train over tho Pis cataquis division of the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad in Muino, one daj recently saw an exciting race between t. doer and the train.

A pretty good story is told of tlio wny in which the officers of n eortuiii sloop-of-wnr Of the North Atlantic squadron succeeded in getting their ship’s slow nnd antiquated steam launch replaced by one of a later and more fashfonahlo type. It happened tlmt tlio vessel hauled into a navy yard for its periodical repairs. While thcro the launch was loudly complained of as too heavy and uuwichlly for a sloop- of-wnr to carry, and a careful weigh ing By the yard authorities verified the complaint.
