In revising the old boots of the Courant and the American, preparatory to getting up anew list, those badly in arrears will be left off. The new books will be finished February 15th. Editorial Brevities. Germany continues to prepare for war. “Bilt. Arp” is taking in the Mississippi Valley on a lecturing tour. Sunset Cox, who has been quite ill, is reported to be out of danger. Rev. Sam Jones is shaking up the cul tured “Hub” in a lively manner. Dawes bas been re elected to the United States Senate from Massachusetts. President and Mrs. Cleveland at tended a charity ball in Baltimore Mon day. John L. Sullivan is to write a book. Don’t do that, John, and all will be for given. LaGrange has been visited by a very disastrous fire. Alf Truitt’s store was among the burned. The poul ry show in Atlanta last week attracted large crowds, and the whole affair proved a fine success. Handsome Frank Hiscock has captur ed the Senatorial plume in New York over the boodle candidates, Morton and Miller. Col. John T Grant, one of Atlanta’s most prominent and wealthy citizens, died last week very suddenly, while at the supper-table. Why don’t some crank go in search of the South Pole ?”—Senoia Sentinel. Entertain no uneasiness; you’ll get there if your present course is kept up. Another mutiny broke out at the Dade coal mines last week. The ringleader, Wm. Jackson, was promptly shot down by a convenient guard, and all reigned supreme. While Frank James is humb’y clerking in a St. Louis st >re, train robbers are get ting in their work just the same. An at tempt was made to stop a Chicago and Alton train the other night. The great deal in Wall Street, in which the Richmond and West Point Terminal Company scooped up the East Tennessee, Y ! rginia and Georgia railroad, is the talk of the day in financial circles. Henry George has been the means of not only getting himself into much trou ble, but was the chief influence that brought Father McGlynn into such con spicuous prominence and bad odor with his church. Henry Ward Beecher says : “There j 8 another reason for social discontent. It is because the oeople are better off than ever before.” He also says that the an archist is a thorough Calvamst because he believes in total depravity. The Atlanta Constitution is justly bringing the Post Office Department to task about the slow and irregular mail facilities in the South. Complaint in this particu’ar docs not stop at the Con stitution’s door, but is heard on all sides. In Chattanooga last week Juror Isaac Reed was dangerously wounded by the accidental discharge of Policeman Dun can’9 pistol, while both were in attendance upon the circuit court. The pistol work ed out of the policeman’s pocket, fell to the floor, the hammer striking with suffi cient force to explode the cartridge. The wounded man, it is thought, will die. The untamed maverick that philosophy for the Rome Bulletin hurls at us this bit of scandal: We have seen a shoe built by Mr. Claude Langston for a Bar tow county man. We were told not to give the owner away, but we cannot tell a lie, it is for the editor of the Carters ville Courant. Each shoe is made of three oxhides, one for the vamp and two for the quarter. When the shoe is received it will be zealously saved to use on the fellow that dares to attempt a bigger one than the above. The New Orleans States siys: “The ladies are now wearing bustles of such plethoric proportions that the Scientific American in a late number publishes the plan of what might be termed a chair wbich we are forced to confess gives every promise of being very useful as well as ornamental. The bustle consists of a stool shaped frame of wicker work hav ing a seat about fourteen Inches wide and while being yery light is strong enough to bear the weight of a person. This bustle is buckled around the waist in the usual way, and when covered by the top dress gives the garment a most charm ing hump and slope behind. The legs of the chair-bustle reach within a foot of the ground, apd wfyen a lady wearing one of them is out shopping and gets tired all she has to do is to set down and make herself comfortable, the bustle being so construct ed that the act of setting down throws it into the proper position, and itcttche3 the lady on the drop, without any danger of missing fire and causing embarrass ment.” Some of the wicked paragraphed are referring to Sam Jones as the Irrev, Sam Jones. For all that he m-.kes Boatoa weep and howl.—Sayannah News. THE CAPTURE OF MOSBV. The Story an Told by the Cavalry Leader to a Boston Reporter. Col. Johu S. Mushy, the noted Con federate cavalryman, recently lectured iu Boston, and while there gave the fol lowing report of his capture by the Fed eral troops : “The boots which the Herald likeness represents me as wearing are the very ones that Frazer’s men pulled off my feet when they captured me. The way of it was this : Maj. Frazer’s men had just gouc into camp, and I seut couriers iu every direction snmmouiug my men to rendezvous at a certain point, from which I proposed to move aud attack Frazer’s camp. As he had just gone in to camp, I had no idea that he would be on the move so quickly as Le was. Ac companied by oue man, I rode to the house of a man named Lake, about a mile from Frazer’s camp, for the pur pose of getting a cup of coffee. A* we reached the house my man offered to hold my horse wdiile I went iu for my coffee, but on my order he dismounted aud entered the house with me. It was just after darn. We passed into oue of the rooms, and our party then consisted of myself, my- soldier, another gentle man aud a lady. I was dressed in my usual manner, the stars on my coat col lar indicating my rank. Suddenly Maj. Frazer’s men were seen coming along the road, too near to enable me to mount my horse and escape. As the Uuiou soldiers approached they saw our two horses standing by, and immediately they surrounded the house. I was stand ing near a window. A lighted candle s f ood on a table near by. As the sol diers approached the house one of them took aim and tired at me through the window. The hole made in the glass by the bullet is there to-day. I have beeu to the house several times since the war, and the man who now occupies it says he would not take SI,OOO for that paue of glass. Well, the bullet struck mo on the left side of the abdomen, and passed around iu front to the right side. In the confusion that ensued, the candle light was extinguished. I walked into au adjoiniug room, iu which stood a bu reau. I took off my uniform coat and threw it under the bureau. I then lav down on the floor aud awaited events, my outside garments being my boots, pantalo. ns aud a blue shirt. The Union soldiers entered the room, and the first thing they did was to null off my boots. Subsequently Maj. Frazer arrived and asked my name. I gave him a fictitious one. I was in terrible agony, but I could not help laughing when a soldier, on examining the wound, said iu a piti ful tone, ‘Poor fellow, lie’s shot entire ly through ti e heait.’ Locating my heart iu my abdomen was too funny for a man, even wounded as I was, to resist, laughing at. I acted my part so well that I succeeded iu concealiug my iden tity, and shortly afterward the‘Uuiou soldiers left the house. They had beeu | gone but a short time when some of my own men came up and bore me away. Subsequently I had the bullet extracted, and my daughter now has it iu her pos session.” Col. M'sbv is having a very enjoyable time.of it iu and about Boston, being en tertained by some of the most prominent of his old foes. Yesterday he was the guest of Col. Herbert E. Hill at his ele gant home in Somerville, aud the occa sion was peculiarly interesting because of the fact that Col. Mo-by came within a rod or two of nabbing Col. Hill iu the Sheuandoah valley, as the latter was out of camp wilh a party foraging for rebel mutton. Col. Hill took his guest about on quite a tour of visitation, including the State house, where he was Dresented to Gov. Robinson and other State offi cials. Col. Mosby also accompanied Col. Hill to the Herald office in li.s round of sigbt-seeiug. QUEEN OF THE GITSIES. Eucy Stanley, a Sister of <lie Deceased Queen, Takes the Throne, The position cf Queen of the Gipsies of the United States, made vacant by the death of Miss Emma Stanley, which occurred near Jackson, Miss., on De cember 30th last, has been filled by the app intment of Miss Lucy Stanley, a sister of the dead queen, who lives about two miles west of this city, where she owns valuable property. Mis3 Stan ley has gone to Dayton, Ohio, to attend the funeral of the deceased queen, after which ceremony the coronation of the new queen will take place. Miss Stan ley will remain at that place until the re turn of the different bauds that are now iu the South, when a grand jubilee will take place. After these ceremonies, which will continue for four days, have been brought to an eu 1, and her orders issued, which will govern the action of these predatory pe< pie for a year, Miss Stanley will return to this city. The new queen is about uineteeu years of age, prepossessing in appearance, fairly educated, aud is a favorite, pot only with her owu people, but with all who kuow her. She will issue her mandates from this point, but will lead the annual migration of her people to the South, which oomweuces early in November next. The Candor of a Coward. Related by Ben Perley Poore.] The colonel of a New York regiment tells a story of the battle of Winchester, In the thickest ol the fight, when the slaughter in the Union line had become perfectly frightful, he detected a stout Irishman of his regiment curled up be hind a great tree. He rode up to the de linquent and savagely reprimanded him for his cowardice. But the man with ir resistable Hiberni an drollery responded: “Now colonel, dear, don’t be hard on a poor fellow like me. A coward is it ? Faith, I think I am, but I rather be called that every day in the year than to be like that poor crayter yonder!” The “poor crayter yonder,” to whom the colonel's attention was directed, was the mangled corpse of a soldier whose head had been entirely de molished by a shot. The odd earnestness of the fellow's excuse made the colonel laugh heartily, and the man was left to the enjoyment of his tree. Call for a New North, Nashville American.| While we are listening to so much rant and cant about the “new South” by all means let us have anew North. What this country really needs is anew north — a north that will have les9 of Puritan bigotry, intolerance, arrogance and less of the Puritan disposition to deprecate Others and boast of its own virtues. If th§ people of the north could be con. vinced that they are no better than some other people that God has made, and that they have some very serious imperfections of theirown that need mending; if they could be persuaded to stop monkeying with their brother's eye and give some little attention to the beam that is in their own, we should come to a better under stand’ ng and a better feeling all round.

A woman was standing with her arms resting on the front gate when a squiut eyed old fellow wearing the conventional ! habiliments of the pine hills and carrying an enormous ox whip came along and asked: “Have you see anything uv er little bay steer round ’hyar?” “No.” “Er steer with ej white star in his fonhead.” “No.” “Sorter limps with the left hind foot, but pretty peart, taken altogether.” “I tell you no,” the woman snapped. “Fotch er load uv wood in this rnornin' an’ ole Dirb—'hat's the steer’s name—got out of the wagin yard an’ cl’ared hiss’f- It’s the steer I bought frum Ben Hardin last fall—lean Ben. Yer know him, I reckon?” * “No, I don’t,” “Wall, rest easy erbout it, fur it ain’t you fault, kase Ben gits acquainted with mighty nigh ever’ woman he ken. I don’t know wh’ar Ben got the steer, but that ain’t none uv my bus'ness. Ain’t seen him have yer?’ v ‘I tell you no !’ the woman almost screamed. “I didn’t know but he would er come up timer way, for that aiu’t no teliin’ whar he’ll go when he gits a chance. Went over to old Jim MaLauther’s place one day an’ fell in a well. Don’tnow old Jim, do you?’ “No, I don’t; aud more than that, I don’t want to know him nor you either. Go on away from here.’ “Oh, yer oughtenter talk thater way erbout old Jim. W’y he’s the man that diskivered the persimon puddin.’ Ain’t seed nuthin’ of the steer, yer say?’ ‘lf you don’t go awav here I’ call a policeman.’ ‘Oh, don’t put yersel’f for no trouble on my ercount. I may be honery lookin’ but I ain’t no fool. I married the puttie3t ’oman in all our neighborhood, an’ when I leave home I alius tells my wife that if I find a puttier ’oman than she is, that— well, I never expected to see one but I have. Madam,’ taking off his yellow slouch hat making a bow “yeu air the lady.’ “Oh, what an old fool you are!” the wo man laughingly replied. ‘Yes, madam, lam er fool—er fool erbout beauty, but not erbout nothing else. Some’ men air afeerd to tell ar ’oman that’s she purty, but I ain’t. There never was nothin’ cowardly erbout, me. Ter tell yer the truth, I ain’t lost no steer, but when I seed yer I had to trump up some sort uver yarn. I’ve got er co’d an’ er half uv wood round her on er wagin that I’m going to sell, but sense I’ve been talkin’ ter you I’ve forgot all erbout the wood. Yer’ll uv cose excuse me fur talk in’ ter you so, fur I am an ole man, while you air young enuff ter be my daughter. Yer’ll pardon me won’t yer?’ ‘Oh, certainly. What do vou ask for your wood?’ ‘You may have the co’d an,er ha’f fur five dollars.’ ‘All right,’the delighted woman replied. Bring it. around here and throw it over the fence.’ He drove around, threw over a quarter of a cord of green pine poles, collected the five dollars, bowed to the woman and went away. THE BEST BABY. The Chicago Rambler redeutly under took to discover the best baby iu that city. Letters were seut out to mothers, reading as follows : Dear Madam : Can you inform me where the nicest, sweetest and prettiest ba.v in this city is to be found ?” The answers to them, the publishers say, leave the question more iu doubt than ever. There seems to be a differ ence of opinion on the subject. Mrs. J. writes: At my house of course, stupid. ” Mrs. L. C. D. remarks : “In the city ! The prettiest, sweetest, and nicest baby in the world is at our house. ” _ Mrs. John T. says : “Call any time and I’ll show it to you.” Mrs. Fitz J. de P. tells us : “I don’t kuow much about it myself. I asked nurse, aud she said my baby answered the description, I guess she’s right. At any rate, I’ll look into the nursery after the reception this afternoon and see. Mrs. I). V. evidently mistakes the mo tive, for she writes back : “I shall never permit my little Tot to enter a baby show.” A bachelor, who received a note by mistake, responded : “It aiu’t to be found.’’ Interested in Religious Work. Burdette in Brooklin Eagle.l “Are you at all interested iu religious work!” Asked the new pastor. “Indeed I am,” replied the stranger, at the other end of the street car; “I have a mortgage for SB,OOO on the Y. M. C. A. building, the Presbyterian pastor owes me three months rent, I’ve just sold two town lots to the Catholics, I’m trying to collar the Methodist vote for my son, who is running for the Legislature, and last week I pick ed up a B iptist deacon on a horsi trade and I hope to fall from grice if he didn’t skin me out of a Morgan colt worth S2OO for an old ghost that he’d doctored up to look more like a four-year old than a dime looks like a ten-cent piece. Say, you’re the new Baptist minister, ain’t you? Have you found a house to suit you yet?” The Philadelphia Record says: “The pro tectionist rely, and not without reason, upon Southern support for their policy as soon as the people of the South, no longer driven together by the danger of negro domination, shall again divide on the issues that divided parties before the war. The old line Whigs at the South are doubtless ready to fall into the protectien traces. But have the protectionists con sidered when the tariff question shall again become uppermost how the old line Democrats at the North will stand? The war which divided parties on new lines, North and South, found the country com mitted to a revenue tariff. Is it not likely that protection will lose more largely than it will gain when the country shall resume the serious consideration of a reformed fiscal policy? It will be strange, indeed, if the Republican party as a party of protection' shall not lose more votes at the north than it can ever make good south of Mayson and Dickson’s line." Mrss Yan Zandt, the betrcthed|of Spies, the condemned Chicago anarchist, is said to be a young lady of good family and of much personal beauty and attraction. She seems determined on carrying the condemned murderer, and will listen to the counsel of no one. Fortunately, how ever, her foolish and insane desire will be thwarted by the authorities who refuse her admission into the i resence of her sweetheart, or eyen to grant her license. MILLIONS IN THE SENATE. i'onie Rich Men Who Help to Moko the Laws of the Country. The World'* Washington correspondent insists that the present United States Sen ate is largely a club of millionaires. John Sherman, the President of the Senate, is a rich mau.

He is related by the closest of ties to the Penn sylvania Railroad Company. Cheney, from New Hampshire, is a millionaire with many large manufacturing interests. Dolph, of Oregon, has grown rich out of his clientage, furnished by the Northern Pacific railroad. Edmunds, oi Vermont, is a millionaire. He has the reputation of having a large corporation practice.

Sewell, of New Jersey, is actively identified with the large railroad interests of that State. Stanford, of California, is worth thirty or forty millions and is president of the Central Pacific. These are the principal men possessing great fortunes in the Senate. The majority of the rest are well to do, and they are naturally affected by their associates who have large and powerful corporation in terests. From all accounts the coming elections will add several more millions and corporation advocates to the list. DYNAMITE ON A TRAIN. A Trunk Explode* While Being Handled bv Ja Baggage Man. Pittsburg, Jan. 22. —The baggage car attached to the New York limited express, which arrived in this city at 10:30 o’clock last night, was almost torn to pieces by a dynamite or some other terrible explosive, a few miles east of Altoona, Pa. Baggage Master Harry Mingue, who wag in the car at the time, was pretty badly hurt. A trunk was put on the train at Duncan non, near Harrisburg, and was checked through to Pittsburg. Mingue was ar ranging the trunks in the car. He picked up a small ordinary trunk and threw it on top of some other baggage. An ex plosion took place, which lifted the top of the car as though it was made of paper and scattered fragments in all directions. The shock was terrible', and startled the engineer and trainmen. It also attracted the attention of passengers, and it was found that the baggage car had been almost blown to pieces. The greatest excitement prevailed. The train was stopped and the baggage was transferred to another car. Mingue was quite seri ously injured, but will recover. A brakeman who wa3 in the car at the time escaped by being thrown behind a stack of trunks. The damaged car was side tracked and the train then proceeded on its way. the owner of the trunk was arrested when he presented the check for his trunk at the bagg ige-room this morning. He said he was a Hungarian, coal miner and that his name was John Kagman. He came from Hazleton in search of work, and strenuously denied that there was any explosive in the trunk. He claimed it contained nothing but clothing and some matches. Pending an investigation he will be detained. GOVERNOR GORDON’S STAFF. A List of the Gentlemen Who Have Been Nan. e l Thereon.

There is a big scheme on foot to develop the mineral resources ot Whitfield county on a huge scale. Northern capital will be the lever to start and perpetuate the pro posed enterprise. A Macon pieaninny crows and acts like a rooster. Being born on the day of Grover Cleveland’s election he is, of course, a Democratic rooster. So says Bridges Smith, of the Telegraph. Holman’s iawyers in Dalton are mak ing an effort to obtain anew trial for him, and it is thought the case will go befc-re the supreme court. This will give the doom man a longer lease of life. Mr. A.

She gave birth to twins three times and tnen triplets. The children are all living. The South Georgia confrence of the African Methodist church, has been in session in Quitman for the past week. About 150 preachers and lay delegates were inattendenec, and all w'ere very well entertained by their colored bretheren and friends. Dalton gossips are just now enjoying a delicious quid of scandal over the sudden departure of a preacher by the name of J. H. Dunn, who left that town*leaving a large family be hind, in company with a young woman. The preacher was also in partnership with Mr. T. 11. Triplett in the management of a store, and the scoundrel succeeded in fleecing him for $1,300. He gathered every cent he could by borrowing and collect ing, even getting his eldest son’s monthly wages. The “Murray county regulators,. ’ it seems, have left some unfinished busi ness in the immediate locality of Dalton.

Valentine brutally murdered Mr. Vales with an axe, the purpose being robbery. After committing the deed lie soaked the remains in kerosene oil and set fire to theiq.

Willis Sanders, colored, has been ope rating a registered twenty-five gallon still in Clayton county for some time. Willis haa also been working his" business judi ciously and getting out more of the yile stuff than the law allowed. The officers caught on to his game, however, and he was arrested and ; put under a $2,500 bond. His sureties were also arrested and placed under heavy bonds, they being charged with being the instigators of the fraudulent returns of Willis. It is said that several of the best men of the county are more or less implicated, and the trial promises to develop some rich testimony and a very bad state of affairs in the com munity in which the still was operated. Griffin News : Propably the largest law suit that has been witnessed in this coun try for many years, involying many points and diverse interests, was com menced Monday by filing in the office of the clerk of the Superior Court about twenty-five petitions in ejectment against the merchants and other residents of Sun vy Side, compromising nearly the whole population of that thriving village. It seems that John S. Dorsey, living in Af rica district of this county, having pro vided for his other children, did in 1866 deed a life interest in 291 acres of land to his wife, and after her to revert equally to his three youngest children, Zachariah T. Dorsey, Nancy Dorsey, now Mrs. Hadda way, and Mollie Dorsey, the last being now dead. Mr. Dorsey du,d sometime afterward, and was followed tc his last rest by his wife in May, 1885. But Mrs. Dorsey, before dying, had sold the land, ninetean acres of which had been laid out into town lots in the young town of Sun ny Side, most of them with either stores or dwelling houses upon them, and the whole property is now valued at a low estimate at $20,000. The petitioners are suing for the rentals and profits since May, 1885, and for the possession of the whole, and it would seem that they have a very strong case. The late Colonel D. S. Printup, of Rome, was one of the leading spirits in the inauguration of the Rome and Decatur railroad. His death is regarded as quite a loss to the enterprise, although it is well under way, the first sizty miles being con tracted for, to be finished by the first of June,and as many as 2,500 men being now at work on it. In his funeral sermon the Rev. R. B. Headden said: “He has been identified with Rome and all her interests from the beginning of his young manhood. He has never stood aloof when Rome needed a helping hand. His devotion to Rome has been that of a son to a mother. His last great enterprise of so much im portance to this city was the building of the Rorae and Decatur road. For four teen years he has toiled to acaomffiish this work. Success came at last. He has sown and others will reap. I trust he will reap also. The laborer is worthy of his hire. Before he rounded up his work death set her mark upon him. Like many another who has planted, he did not see the fruit but he saw the flowerjmd sur rendered the gathering of the harvest to younger andeother hands. Are our hopes for Rome’s future to be realized? How much will we owe to the skill, ability and tireless purpose ot him before us who for so many years cherished this scheme, and had faith in its accomplishment. While the great mass were buying and selling he was toiling for that which inures to the welfare of all. Some man who has expectations of great things lor our city on account of the new railroad now being built, speaking of Col. Printup as its author, said; ‘lf Col. Printup had only lived to see this road completed, that a monument expressive of esteem and affec tion would have been reared to his mem ory by a grateful people.’ Providence ordered it otherwise. He recognized the inevitable, and said: ‘lt is all for the best.’ ” Private Boaruiug House. IVr-ona desiring good board, can secure the same by .pplylug at the first house on Wst Main Street. N.
