Herr Most has at last gained admis sion into the quarters to which he has been heading for some time. The courts of New York, have. convicted and sentenced him to imprisonment on Black well's Island. He will now have a splen did opportunity to agitate his muscles. Thk German system of insurance of workmen shows that 8,100,000 men are now insured, working in 288,000 manu facturing establishments.

The Fiftieth Congress assembled last Monday morning. Mr. Carlisle was again elected Speaker, so were all the old officers of the Forty-ninth Congress ex cept Doorkeeper Donelson, who was de-, feated by a Mr. Hurt, of Mississippi. The new Congress will not do much business until after the holidays, ns it will not be come thoroughly organized before that time. President Grew, of the French Re public, has at last resigned and M. Sadi- Carnot has been elected as his successor. France seems to be universally satisfied, and it is considered an augury of peace. The new President, though not as brilliant as some of his predecessors, is a man of fine judgment, honest and incorruptible, conservative in thought, mild in tempera ment, and in the vigor of strong physical manhood. Georgia furnishes two applicants for the vacant Mexican mission, in the per sons of Gen. I*. M. 11. Young and Judge H. B. Thompkins, of Atlanta; the former is championed by Senator Colquitt, and the latter by Senator Brown. President Cleveland could make no more suitable selection for this responsible office than Georgia's gallant Young. Mis appoint ment would be hailed with general pleas ure throughout the State. The Rev. Joseph Cook, of Boston, thinks the most potent enemy prohibi tion has is the negro of the South. He .declares that in fifty years the negroes will rule the vote of the South, and unless the young of the race are instructed in the effects of liquor their voice in the subjects relating to prohibition would be all powerful against the movement. We think that the reverend gentleman is rather unduly apprehensive, though there is some ground for alarm in the direction he suggests. t Dicing midsummer in Northern Alaska according to an Arctic traveler, the sun shines twenty-two hours out of the twen ty-four, and on the high mountain peaks for a period of several days in June is not entirely out of sight during the twenty four hours. In July and August the weather becomes very warm. After this 'time the days gradually shorten until the Him shines but four hours out of the twenty-four, but at this period the aurora is exceedingly intense and helps materi ally in dispelling the darkness. President Cleveland’s message was read to Congress on Tuesday. It is a strong document, expressed with unusual clearness and force. It is mainly devoted to the tariff and tax reform. I pon the tariff, the President does not take the j ground'd' the extremists of either faction, but rather a middle or compromise view. Me urges the necessity for immediate relief from the great surplus acciimula- j tioiis of the Government, anil makes some suggestions as to how it can be brought; about. The SupreimKlqurtof the United States , has just rendered decision in the Vir ginia bond case. ThelWision holds that a State cannot be sued in A. Federal Court. The action of Judge BomUVj placing the , Attorney General of Virginia in jail for contempt- of court, in that he i -fused to , regard the injunction of the court, was | reversed, The decision is a very inXioi- taut one, and establishes the sovereignty of the States in matters pertaining ex-! clusively to the settlement of their own affairs. Important Nominations. President Cleveland has sent to the Senate ♦ lie following important nomina tions: He lias named Secretary i.amar to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Bench; Post master-General Vilas to le Secretary of the Interior, and Mr. Don M. Dickinson, of Michigan, to lx* Postmaster-General. The nominations of Charles S. Fairchild, of New York, as Secretary of the Treas ury; (ieorge L. Rives, of New York, as assistant Secretary of State; James \V. Ilvatt, of Connecticut, as Treasurer: Isaac H. Maynard, of New York, as as sistant Secretary of the Treasury, and Signorney Butler, of Massachusetts, as second Comptroller of the Treasury, were also seat in, but these gentlemen had Been appointed during the recess and are already in office—subject, of course, to confirmation by the Senate. None of these appointments cause sur prise to the country. They have been anticipated for some time, and, in fact, looked upon as being as good .as made. As usual, the President has demonstrated his good judgment in the selections he hits made. Mr. Lamar is the first purely southern representative placed upon the Supreme Bench in many years, and no man could have been selected, more capable of doing honor to his section, credit to himself, and giving satisfaction to the whole country. Ib* is a great scholar, hard studcntaudii patient, systematic worker. His qualifications eminently fit him to wear worthily the robe as a member of the grandest tribunal the world has ever known.

Perhaps the most progressive and en terprising railroad man in the south is young Joseph M. Brown, the able and ef ficient general freight and passenger agent of the Western and Atlantic rail road. He is always vigilant of the in terest of this great property, and untir ing in his efforts to extend its business and influence. Not only does he care fully guard the interests of his road, but lie devotes his energies, to a most com mendable degree, to the development and building up of the section of country through which it passes. Through the columns of the Kennesaw Gazette, a weekly journal, issued by Mr. Brown in tiie interest of the W. & A. R. It. he has done much to make this line famous by writing up the war campaigns of North Georgia. He also gives much space in this journal to advertising to the world the varied and inexhaustible resources of Georgia, in the last issue we find two articles, one on the advantages of Car tersville and its future; the other, on the resources of Bartow county and the op portunities if offers for the safe and pro fitable investment of capital. Just such articles as these, in a journal of the gen eral circulation of the Gazette, are worth much to our section, and our people ap preciate the interest Mr. Brown has thus mauit sted in the prosperity of theij* town, and the development of the coun ty's resources.

Recent events have been of such a na ture as to awaken renewed interest in our immigration laws, and to create much alarm at the tendency of the cus tom of permitting an indiscriminate stream of foreigners to pour into the United States. This ib a great question, one that demands the thoughtful atten tion of congress. This government, with its free institutions, cannot afford to continue to receive the socialist and an archist agitators of Europe. Already this lias been allowed, until they have sown their poisonous seeds in the great cities to such an extent, that the execu tion of a half dozen of their leaders for dastardly crimes against society and the Ifiws of the land, is not enough to eradi cate the germ that is fast springing up, but has rather emboldened them in their threats against the law and the govern ment. There must be some means adopted for regulating and restricting foreign im migration to this country. To this end. Senator Palmer, of Michigan, has pre pared a bill, the principal feature of which is a provision, which, if it becomes a law, will require every person of foreign birth, who contemplates emigrating to the United States, to provide himslf with a certificate from the United States con sul for the district of his residence, “set ting forth substantially that said consul is satisfied, upon diligent inquiry that In is a suitable and desirable person for res idence and citizenship in the United States.” Persons of foreign birth not provided with such certificatss shall not be allowed by the United States immi gration officers to land in this country. The fourth section, which embodies most of the new legislation proposed by Sena tor Palmer’s bill, provides that no certifi cates shall be granted to any convict ex cept those convicted of political offenses, my to any lunatic, idiot, or any person unable to take care of himself or herself, without becoming a public charge, nor to any anarchist, nihilist or any person hostile to the principles of the constitu tion or form of government of the United States, nor to any believer or professed believer in the Mormon religion who fails to satisfy the consul, upon examination, that he or she intends to and will conform to and obey the laws of the I nited States, nor to any person included in the prohi bition in the act to prohibit the importa tion and immigration of foreigners and aliens under contract or agreement to perform labor in the United States, ap proved February 2(>, 1885, or in the acts amendatory to said act.

Our \V *liinut.ii Ltt*r Interesting With Brief Pointer*. * . Special PorrespotMlence.] I promised to write a letter on the Treasury Department for this week, but in view of the assembling of Congress and the excitement around the Capitol, I will le excused for changing the plan of the letter. Instead of rambling through the vaults of the nation’s great money house, I will ask you to join me in a trip to the gallery of the House of Represen tatives while the 50th Congress gets in shape for work. Imagine yourself in Washington, walk ing down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Treasury Department to the Capitol; it is just one mile, going east. The avenue is the broadest and handsomest thor oughfare in the I'nited States. It is crowded with people all tending towards jjie Capitol. From the Treasury steps you look in front of you, and see street cars going and coming up and down the avenue. You see carriages and fieri*lies hurrying along in every direction. You see a stream of walkers filling the side walk for the full distance of the mile be tween the Treasury and Capitol. As you look at the hurrying crowd you catch the same feeling that seems to move them, and find yourself anxious to be going. Shall we walk or ride? Walk, by all means. A mile sounds like a good distance to walk when you can ride for five cents. But the ground is covered almost before you realize that you have started. Who are all these people that seem so anxious to get to the Capitol? Well, they are a mixed multitude. They are here from far and near. Some of them are great men—the greatest the country affords; some of them are the very reverse —the meanest the country affords. No time to dwell on the com plexion or composition of this motly, moving mass. But as we go along we’ll look out for any of the alleged statesmen who here do congregate in such numbers just at this time. Sure enough, there comes one. See that tall, slim man, with the slight iron gray mustache and goatee; the one with the long, loose-fitting overcoat on? That's Senator Ingalls, of Kansas. He is the I test talker and the bitterest Re publican in the Senate. You must hear him make a speech before you leave the city. This is the Metropolitan Hotel we are passing now. Most of the Georgia mem bers stop here, and this is the place we Southern bb,\s congregate of evenings to gossip and swap news. Mr. Clements, Mr. Crisp, Mr. Barnes, Mr. Grimes, Mr. Candler, Mr. Carlton and Mr. Stewart, of Georgia, stop here. Keep an eye out now and perhaps we’ll catch sight of a Georgia Congressman. There! see those two men just coming out, arm in arm? Don't you know them? Clements and Crisp. Don't you think they both carry pleasant faces. No extra frills about those two men. They are the same in Washington as they are in Georgia, and they are just as approachable and just as obliging here as they are in Carters ville or Americus. This is the National Hotel next, Sena tor Brown and Mr. Blount live here. See, t here is the Senator’s carriage now, waiting to carry him to the Senate Chamber. And now we enter the Capitol. Isn’t it a massive and grand old building? It is said to cover more than three acres of ground, and cost between fifteen and twenty millions of dollars Its style of architecture is Greek, oft Tie Corinthian order. It is built of pure white marble and crowned with a lofty iron doom. The large circular space where we stand upon entering is called the rotunda. The decorations are very handsome and some of the pictures are grand. Follow me to the right; we enter the Statuary hall, where each State has the privilege of placing the busts, either in bronze or marble, of two of its illustrious dead. Look around you fora moment and see if you can recognize any of these features that have been so beautifully chiseled out of cold marble or cast from bronze. Some of them are Nathaniel Greene, Roger Williams, Johnathan Trumbull, John Winthrop, Ethan Allen, Thomas Jefferson, Washington. Fulton, Lincoln, Garfield and others. But you are impatient to look upon the faces ot living Statesmen instead of dead ones, so we will pass on to the galleries. The House clock marks half-past eleven. At twelve theCougress will be called to order. Meantime we will watch assembling greatness. The hull is comfortably filled already. See, what a happy lot they are! Such hand-shakers! The old members are renewing friendships of the past. The new ones are forming acquaintances that will doubtless ripen into warm friendships during the coming months. Do you observe that they are large men as a rule? It is safe to say that nine-tenths of them will weigh over 150 pounds. And their bald heads and ruddy faces show good living and good diges tions. That tall man just entering the hall from the rear lobby is Mr. Carlisle, the Speaker of the House. Don’t the mem bers cluster around him and shake his hand! You can see at a glance that he is a born leader among men. His smooth face and bright eyes give him a boyish look, but back of that can be seen the lines of thought and expressions of deep study. Now, look over on the Republi can side and observe that ponderous fellow just coining in. Notice that strad dling walk, and watch his big fat jaws shake when he puts his feet down iu step ping along. 1 somehow think of an ele phant every time I see that man. Tom Reed, of Maine, it is, the acknowledged leader of the Republican side of the House. Jv-t me trouble you to glauce over at the side entrance for a moment. There comes Mr. Samuel J. Randall, of Penn sylvania. You know he’s the high tariff Democrat who is abused so much by cer tain factions of his party who think taxes should be reduced. Hasn’t he a fine face, though? That swinging walk and firm expression of face mean that he carries with him a power that is envied of inaify and possessed by few. He has his followers in the House, and while they are not very many, they are often very powerful. . Who is that man with the slow move ment and the bay window front, did you say? Why, bless you, that’s a Georgia man, and one of the cleverest of the whole lot. Don't you remember how the Augusta people fired cannons and hurrahed and paraded last year when their Congrqpsmup returned from Wash ington, after having served them so well? His name is George T. Barnes, and he is embodied in that large mail with the ample waist-band. See that man walking down the center aisle, smiling himself and being smilingly greeted on both sides as he passes? that’s Crisp again. You see him to better ad vantage now, with luh hat and overcoat off. You think him handsome and grace ful, do you? Right you are. Wish you might see him in the Speakers chair, swinging the gavel. You know he was mentioned prominently for Speaker of the House this time if Carlisle had decided to stop on the floor. And nobody doubts that he would have made a good one. He’s the sort of man that you want to throw your hat up and hurrah for. Of course you know that man entering the side nisle. Every fellow in the Seventh district knows the “Mountain Colt.” He that was to have been weaned more than seven years ago, but who at the present writing is as fine a colt as the mountains ever produced, and seems in better work ing trim than ever before. Don’t he shake hands with lots of the members? You will find, if you slay here long, that Clements has more friends than nearly anybody, and if you should trouble your self to make inquiry you will learn that he is regarded as a clean, square, honest man, who does his duty well, and one who can, in his quiet way, command as much influence in the House as any mem ber from the South. But the gavel sounds now and we will listen. ( leu. Hark, the Clerk of the House,calls’ tie* session to order. The roll is called, the member* answer, each in his own way. It is ‘-here," “hayr." “liw,” “aye.' ‘•.present.," and the like. There is the Western brogue, the Southern accent, tse Down-Eastern drawl, and the Y ankee snarl. Theinemliers form in a semi-circle around the Speaker's desk and take the oath of office. Officers are elected, seats are drawn, and then the coll ossa 1 engine of States puts the machinery of legisla tion in motion. The noth Congress is a fact, full of life and ready for action.

R. Colvin for State Geolo gist. The death of Prof. A. U. McCntchen makes a vacancy in the office of geologist of the Agricultural Department of Geor gia. This has, of recent years, become one of the most important offices in that branch of the State's service, and its value to the State is growing every day. As the wonderful and varied mineral resources of the State are developed the importance of the position increases. It is, therefore, necessary that a comjietent and capable man should be selected to fill this vacancy, ami one who has not only the theoretical knowledge of the science of geology and mineralogy, but who has a practical experience and is familiar with the mineral belt of the State. Prof. Mc- Cutchen has done a great deal in this office, and his place should be tilled by a man who is qualified to take it up ami carry it on. We do not know of a more competent or suitable man for the ap pointment than Prof. R. L. 11. Colvin, of Rome. His splendid knowledge of his profession and his thorough acquaintance with the mineral section of Georgia, eminently fit him for the place. He is young, houest, capable and industrious, and hisefforts in developing and properly bringing before the public the mineral interest of Cherokee Geor gia, deserves for him reeonition. We would lie glad to see him an ap plicant for the position, because we think he could do the State fine service. Should Prop.Colvin conclude to apply for , the place, we take great pleasure, in ad vance, fn commending him to the Com missionerof Agriculture, as a most proper person to fill the vacancy. The Macon Sunday Times. The new paper, to be edited by Colonel Albert R. Lainar and Harry S. Edwards, will make its first, appearance next Sun day. Perhaps no newspaper ever started in Georgia under more favorable auspices than will inaugurate the Sunday Times. Its editors are brilliant and classical, and above all, have the courage of their con victions. It is said that the paper will be born with a list of more than 5,000 subscrib ers, one-third of whom reside in Macon. Its first issue will contain “Maje’s Trust,” from the pen of Mr, H. S. Ed wards, author of “Elder Brown’s Back slide,” “Two Bunnaways,” and “Sister Todhunter’s Heart,” in “Harpers” and the “Century” Magazines. To popularize the Times, its projec tors have adopted a novel and taking scheme. They propose to donate to the heirs of any paid up subscriber who dies an accidental death, the sum off 100.

His foot is healing very rapidly. 1 very accidentally came into the pos session of the following facts concerning the manner in which a couple of young men managed to get hold of a little “red eye.” There was several families in cov ered wagons from the mountains that stopped over at their home to spend the night. Some way one of the young men managed to learn that there was a barrel in one of the wagons containing ten or fifteen gallons of “mountain dew.” 11c told his brother and they agreed to have some of it that night at any cost, it was after 11 o’clock before they all re tired, and they waited until nearly one before they commenced to operate on the barrel. They very cautiously removed it front the wagon to the ground and tried to pull out the bung, but it would not budge an inch. They carried it a short distance from the house and tried a rw<‘k on it but it was in there tight and the rock made so much noise that they carried it still farther, but still The bung would go loud enough to be heard some distance, and at last they decided that they would carry it far enough tins time and didn’t stop until they had carried it some 800 yards from the house, away down by the railroad. They wanted to be as quiet as possible and as there was some house close by they were afraid that the fuss weuld attract attention. Luck seemed to be in sympathy with them for just then the north bound passenger train came thundering by and you may be sure that they put in good time while it was passing, for before the sound of the cars and puffing engine had died away their object was accomplished. They had furnished themselves with a quill and proceeded to draw some of the contents from the barrel into their thirsty mouths, The quill was not large enough and the slow progress they were making afforded no satisfaction. One of them went back to the houss to get something to catch fame of it in, but being afraid to cute* the house he only succeeded in getting a dipper with a hole in it and the washpan. These they filled and then en joyed the fruits of their labor. 1 will not give the names of the young men, or tell where they live, but will say that they lijje in Bartow county. I forgot to say that all the time they were working with the barrel the rain was coining down in torrents. VV. C. \Y. KINGSTON. The past week has been an eventful one in Kingston. On the 28th the alarm of fife was given and it was soon discovered that Dr. C. W. Mayson's beautiful resi dence was on fire, but through the prompt exertion of the citizens with buckets the film, was soon extinguished with slight damage. It caught from a defective flue. Dr. Mayson tenders his thanks to the kind friends that came to Ills rescure and saved his house. On tlnj night of the 80th a message came from Capt. A. F. Woolley's, two and one-half miles from Kingston, that Mr. Elisha Haynes, a young man in the employ of C’aot. Woolley, had been acci dently shot and killed by A. F. Woolley, Jr. Your correspondent, in company with Rev. J. W. White, went out by re quest of Mrs. W., and the scene on our arrival was distressing, and from Mrs. W. and Feaster Woolley, the following statement was given. The family re mained in Mrs. Woolley’s room in pleas ant conversation until 8 o’clock, and the young men repaired to their room to re tire. Mr. Haynes, standing at the bureau, saw Feaster place a pistol under his pil low and asked him why he did so, and he answered that his mamma was scarry when his papa was from home and he kept it to protect her in case of danger.

There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi tion of the mucus liningof the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the in flammation can lie taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucus surfaces.
