BLIND TOM’S SUCCESSOR.
On last Wednesday evening we were
invited by J. W. Bardett to go to his
house and see whaihe termed a musical
prodigy. We accepted the inv-.tation ex
tended and was. soon made acquainted
with Barbara Robinson, a little colored
girl about nine years old. She was taken
into the parlor and the young ladies
present played such pieces they chose on
the piano, when this little negro would
reproduce the production in an almost
perfect manner. Those who know* Bar
bara assure us that the accomplishment is
entirely natural. To test her powers of
imitation we requested that a piece be
played that she had never heard. She
at once took a seat at the piano and rat
tled off the music in good style, and what
is singular, made but few mistakes.
During the time we listened to this won
derful little negro playing, nearly an
hour, she never spoke a word, and unless
spoken to kept her eyes fixed on the keys
of the piano, as if absorbed in the instru
ment she so much loves. Barbara is a
nurse in the family of Mr. R. A. S. Free
man, and we are informed that she will
reproduce any piece of music rendered
by members of the family, or by visitors
to the house, and when sent on an er
rand Will return, and if allowed to do so,
will play pieces heard while absent, with
remarkable correctness. This little ne
gro is certainly endowed with extraor
dinary musical talent, and will, if given
musical advantages, become famous for
her accomplishment, and like blind Tom,
become a coveted priae for those who
would win a fortune by the aid of a mu
sical prodigy.—West Point News.

Dr. J. O. Armstrong, of Atlanta.
Last Friday, Bishop Beckwith forward
ed to Dr. Armstrong his decision upon
the application for a rehearing of his
case. It was in the formal language
used in ecclesiastical communications.
The effective portion was:
“I, John W. Beckwith, by divine per
mission bishop of the diocese of Georgia,
do now approve the finding of the court
as valid and sufficient, and I do hereby
overrule each and all the grounds of mo
tion and affidavits presented for anew
trial.”
The bishop then preceads to pronounce
the suspension of Dr. Armstrong “from
the ministry of the church of God -for
the space of five years from the 4th day
of October, 1885.” The announcement
of the bishop’s decision fell like a bomb
shell amongst Dr. Armstrong’s friends,
and wherever it was circulated the news
created the greatest surprise.
The following day Mr. Armstrong ad
dressed the following to Bishop Beck
with.
St. Philip’s Rectory, March 6, 1886.
—The Right Rev. J. W. Beckwith, D.
D., Bishop of Georgia—My Dear Bishop:
Yesterday evening I received your decis
ion in my case, approving the findings
of the court as valid and sufficient, over
ruling each and all the grounds of motion
and affidavits presented for anew trial,
and fixing the judgment of the courts as
suspension from the ministry for five
years from the fourth of October, 1885.
I protest against this final decision as
being unjust and unwarranted by the
testimony presented to the court and by
the further testimony presented to your
self in my papers, showing cause why the
verdict of the court should not be exe
cuted. As I have no higher ecclesiastic
tribunal, however, before which t# make
this protest, I can make it only to God,
who searches all hearts and lives, and to
humanity, whose average judgments is
neither unjust nor uncharitable. To
these powers, therefore, do I now appeal
to witness to the illegality and injustice
ot my sentence and to redress in due
time the wrongs that that sentence has
inflicted upon mine and me. Very res
pectfully and sincerely yours,
[Signed] J. G. Armstrong.
The treatment of Dr. Armstrong is
denounced in round terms by the press
and people of Atlanta. Gov. Bullock,
one of the members of the church has
announced his intention of resigning,
and it Is supposed quite a number of the
members are expected to follow suit.
As to Harmless Lunatics.
The late legislature passed a bill to the
effect that all harmless and incurable lu
natics that were confined in the State lu
natic asylum, are to be returned to the
counties from whence they came.
Several are being discharged daily and
sent home, if any they have, and to the
county poor houses, —mostly, to the lat
ter destination, however.
It is not every county in the State that
supports a poor house, and in the event a
poor idiot is sent to such a county what
is to become of him? With no one to
care for him he runs every chance of
starving to death. No one feels it their
duty to care for the helpless creature.
What is then to become of him? It
seems to us that the State is taking poor
steps for economy’s sake. The State lu
natic asylum is the most deserving and
most charitable institution we have, and
it does look like our legislators grasp ev
ery chance to curtail its usefulness and
hinder its welfare.* Ample additional
buildings should be built for the com
fortable caring for our unfortunates.
The Great New York Strike.
The New York street car strike last
week will pass into history as the most
gigantic affair of the kind that has ever
transpired in this country. On Friday
morning, 15,000 men, obeying orders
from an association of laboring men re
fused to drive another step unless their
•demands for more pay were acceded to.
-A groat “tie up” was the result, which
•continued for a few hours, the car lines
agreeing to pay the $2 per day asked for
Tintll an arbitration could be heard. In
the great excitement not a life was lost.
The men seemed determined to do but
•one thing and that was to stop all cars
Rintil matters were settled. Strikes are
<af too often occurrence these days.
Yhe muttering of dissatisfied laborers is
mew of daily occurrence, while the gold
Ibugs and money lords grasp their shekels

Editor Courant— Please publish in
The Courant the following letter from
Capt. James M. Smith, of Oglethorpe
county. He is the owner of the convict
camp in that county, and is entitled to
all the benefits of denial of the convict’s
letter published in The Courant two
weeks ago. That letter was sent to The
Courant by a responsible citizen of Ma
con, Ga.
Permit me to say to Col. Smith that
the humanity or inhumanity connected
with these camps is not the only or most
prominent objection to our chain-gang
system. The ground of complaint is,
they are nurseries where juveniles and
even children are educated in crime and
then turned out upon society accomplish
ed villains. We also object because Col.
Smith can work two or three hundred at
a nominal cost in farm labor, in direct
conflict with the honest labor of the
States and to the injury of every farmer
in the State who pays “fair wages for an
honest days work” on his farm. We al
so object because the State is entitled to
the labor of these convicts on its public
roads and other works profitable to the
State, and that a few prominent gentle
men and influential politicians have no
more right to the legitimate revenues of
Georgia than other citizens of the State.
These convicts should be worked for the
benefit of the tax payers. We assert that
Col. Smith—clever and upright as we be
lieve him to be—has no more claims up
on the revenues of Georgia than any
other tax payer, and, therefore, in the
name of exact justice and honesty, as
well as of humanity, we, as Georgians,
protest against this stain upon Georgia’s
civilization. W. 11. Felton.
Winterville, Ga., March, 1886.
Dr. W. 11. Felton —Dear Sir: I see
what purports to be a letter from a con
vict, whom you acknowledge to be a
thief, in your paper of a recent date. I
am satisfied that every line, word and
syllable in the letter of this convicted thief
is wholly and absolutely false. I have
the evidence in my possession which
shows this beyond controversy or cavil.
But in order to be perfectly fair, I write
you to come down at your earliest con
venience and by personal inspection of
this camp satisfy yourself as to the truth
or falsity of this convicted thief’s state
ment. You will have every facility of
fered you in my power to arrive at the
truth of the management of this camp
from the day it was established to the
present time. Besides satisfying yourself
as to the management of this camp,
doubtless the opportunity of visiting the
scenes of your early life would repay
you. If you will let me know when you
are coming, I will meet you or send for
you at either Winterville or Athens; or,
if you prefer, you can come unheralded
and visit the camp without my presence,
where every facility will be afforded you
to ascertain the truth. It may be you are
being misled by designing persons. I
cannot believe that your sense of honor
will permit you to do me or any one an
injustice. When you have visited my
camp and made a fair and impartial in
vestigation, I imagine there will be no
controversy between us. If, however, I
am mistaken in this, I will discuss as
best I can with so able a gentleman as
yourself the points of difference.
Respectfully,
James M. Smith.
RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
The Causes and the Remedy fur the Evil.
To the Editor Atlanta Journal.!
The real cause, or causes of railroad
accidents, is a subject that doubtless in
terests every one, as into the family of
nearly all, either near or remote, rela
tives, or dear friends or neighbors, tl
sad, and frequently fatal results of some
railroad-horror have made their appear
ance.
Asa railroad man of some experience,
I will venture to suggest some reason
why most of the accidents occur, and
how to prevent them.
To railroad managers 1 would address
these propositions for their consideration
and action, in the name of humanity, as
well as the interests of the stockholders:
In the first place, put your railroad and
rolling stock in good order. Then make
plain simple rules for the running of
your trains, and for the government and
conduct of your employees.
See that each separate and distinct rule
is consistent and harmonizes with all the
rest. Then make schedules for your sev
eral trains that can be run according to
your rules. If you say in your rules
(which is generally the case) that “all
trains must be slowed at all bridges,
trestles, switches, etc., to four or six
miles per hour,” then make your sched
ule accordingly, having due regard for
all the up-grade, sharp curves, bad places
in the track or roadbed, and the number
of meeting points to be made on the run,
and the probable detention, and then add
a reasonable per cent, to the running
time for possible unforeseen delays. Be
sure that you don’t overload your en
gines. All engines ought to be able to
draw with ‘’ease and make good time,
with at least two cars more than she is
made to pull on her run. In making a
schedule, have infinitely more regard for
the safety of your passengers, employes,
rolling stock and the property of your
patrons than you have for the connec
tions you would like to make. After all
this is done put your engines in the hands
of good, sober, reliable, experienced en
gineers. Pay them well for their ser
vice, so they will appreciate their situa
tions. Give them plenty of rest and
sleep. No man connected with a Tail
road has a more dangerous employment
than the engineer and his fireman. They
should be made feel the weight of respon
sibility resting upon them, and their ser
vices should be appreciated.
Then put the train in the hands of a
conductor who has served all the way up
from brakeman. Be sure that he is a
sober, sensible, practical man, and that
he thoroughly understands the rules of
your road. Don’t run him so hard or
long that he becomes sleepy while on du
3r. He should have plenty of rest and
eep, and should be paid well for his
services, so that he will appreciate his
situation. He should haye good help in
the way of brakemen, flagmen, etc.
These men should be good and . true, and
should not be worked too hard, but al
lowed plenty of time to rest and sleep,
and should be paid well for their services,
as they occupy important and dangerous
situations. Often it is that the lives of
hundreds of passengers and thousands of
dollars worth of property depends upon
the promptness and efficiency of a flag
man or brakeman. Care should be taken
in their selection for these reasons as
well as for the further reason that it is
out of this material that conductors are
to be made.
After all this has been done, start your
men out with their train. Don’t inter
fere with them any more, in so far as the
running of the train is concerned, until
they return to headquarters. Don’t
bother them with telegrams, but let them
run their train according to your rules
and the schedule. If you have rules for
running trains by telegraph, destroy
them and make rules to run by schedule.
The telegraph can be used successfully to
work a train along which has lost its
time, but not otherwise.
No train hand should be allowed to go
between cars while in motion nor should
they be allowed to couple cars by hand.
All engines should be frequently tested
and proved to be able to carry a much
greater pressure of steam than is neces
sary in her service. Side tracks at pass
ing stations should be sufficient in tength,
and should be kept clear of cars. There
should be a good brake on every car, and
there should be more schedules and few
er sections to the schedule. A reasona
bly slow schedule will, on an average,
move passengers and freight with more
expedition than a very fast one. For in
stance, if you have a forty mile schedule
with close connections, you have no mar
fin for contingencies. If you should be
eiayed a half an hour you cannot make
up the time, and hence lose the connec
tion and your mail and passengers
generally lose about twelve hours. Not
so with a twenty-five mite schedule.
You may lose an hour ann regain it with
out running at too great a speed. Don’t
load freight heavily. Don’t burn any
thing but candles in passenger and sleep
ing cars. Employ good, safe, sensible
men as watchmen for your switches,
bridges, trestles, culverts, etc., aud don’t
pick up some poor old broken down fel
low, because you can get him cheap, who
could not run even if a bridge were to
catch on fire. Employ men for these im
portant places who are physically able to
give prompt signals to approaching
trains at a sufficient distance.
Finally, employ good men, work them
reasonably, pay them well make good
rules for their government, make your
schedules a little slower, and you will
find it more safe and profitable than the
usual modern way.
Mark Well.
THE FIRST BLUE-BIRD.
Come, come, Mr. Bluebird, I’ve waited so long,
’Tis time you were building your nest!
Come, fly to my window and sing me a song,
You look rather sad and distressed;
Pray, where is your hi ate? Can’t you find her
at all?
Can that b the reason you are dumb?
I am sure she would answer if only you’d call,
So don’t be so silent and glum.
There’s plenty of sunshine, ths earth is like gold;
The sky is so pretty and blue;
So pray don’t sit moping, but do as you’re told—
’Tis always the best way to do.
I’m tired of the winter, its cold and its snow,
I am weary of looking at ice,
I’m only too glad for the season to go,
I really don’t think it is nice.
I’ve waited and waited, to see you appear.
But sore disappointed am I;
I’ve seen the first bluebird, and now that you’re
here.
I’m almost so sad I could cry!
You seem to be mute as you sit on that tree,
All muffled In blue to your eyes.
Just rocking and rocking, and looking at me
As if I were snch a surprise.
I’m sure you could sing if you’d open your
mouth,
There’s music, I know, somewhere there;
You could’nt have left it behind in the South—
That country so sunny and fair;
Unruffle your feathers and give me a song;
Don’t look so defiant, pray don’t!
For birds that know how and won't sing, it is
wrong;
But what shall we do if they won’t !
I have it, Poor Bluebird, the thought has just
come,
My scolding I truly deplore;
I’m sure that the reason you’re drooping and
dumb.
Is this, that your throat must bb sorb.
Forgive my upbraiding, of course you are ill,
* Or else you’d be building your nest!
I’ll give you some crumbs; now sit perfectly still
And do not be filled with unrest.
No mortal shall harm you; see, here is some
food,
As nice as you’d want, I’ll assure;
Here’s some in the window, come, see if it’s good!
These crumbs I’ll throw by the door.
Ho, ho! you are hungry, quite hungry, I see;
Hop in on the carpet, pray do;
And here is some bread on the table by me
lt’s waiting on purpose for you!
I’ve caught you my Bluebird! I’ll just take a
peep
There, wait till I fasten the door!—
Now open your bill, try how still you can keep;
I’ll see if your throat is’nt sore.
’Tis just as I thought, very red and inflamed;
You truly mustbe very hoarse,
I’d call it the “Croup” if it had to be named,—
’Tis very annoying of course.
But here is a drink that will help you I’m sure,
Now take it, dear Bluebird, there, please!
’Tis sweet Gum and Mullein, the Cherokee Cure,
’Twill give you immediate ease.
See there, you are better; I’m proud of my skill!
Ah, soon you’ll be building your nest,
And telling your mate as you twitter and trW—
The Cherokee Cure is the best!
Take that and no ether. ’Tis simple and nice;
Of Sweet Gum and Mullein ’tis made,
By Walter A. Taylor, at moderate price,
’Twill speedily bring to you aid.
There fly to that elm tree. Dear bird how you
sing!
My heart thrills wi'. rapture indeed!
Now don’t mind the card that I’ve tied to your
wing,
’Twill help you the swifter to speed
It carries a line that the whole world may see,
The croupy, asthmatic and ill,
“Take Cherokee Remedy!” all will agree
’Tis better than powder or pill.
’Tis made of the Sweet Gum and Mullein that
grows
In beautiful Georgia, I’m told;
Its fame is far-reaching, and every one knows
Its value is greater than gold.
For cold and for hoarsness, for pain in the chest,
The Cherokee remedy surely is best;
All druggists will sell for all are assured
You’ve only to use it, and soon you’ll be cured!

Now is the time to put out onion sets.

STATE SAYItfOS BANKS.
The report of the superintendent of the
banking department of the state of New
York should be placed in (he hands of
every legislator of this state. It shows
at a glance what small savings become
under a carefully-guarded banking sys
tem. New York nas a general saviugs
bank law, and any community in the
state that complies with the terms of the
law can haye the benefit of a savings
bank.
At the end ot the past year there were
1,208,072 depositors in New York savings
banks. These depositors had increased
in number, during the year, 42,898.
They held on January 1, 1886 the sum of
$457,050,250—m0re than one-third more
than the property of Georgia is valued at
for the purposes of taxation. Each de
positor had on the average $375.14. To
show how rapidly the system is growing,
it should be stated that the number of de
positors if annually increasing, the aver
age amount of each account is also in
creasing, and the increase last year in
the aggregate deposits was $19,942,749-
more than the valuation of any county in
this state, Fulton alone accepted.
These banks are safely and economi
cally conducted. No depositor suffered
a loss during the year; and there was
paid or credited to depositors during the
year the very considerable sum ot $15,-
151,979. The total cost of conducting
these banks during the year was $1,540,-
161. Some of them, it should be remem
bered, are heavy institutions in the city
of New York, where bank expenses are
by no means low. The average cost of
the care of each account in 1885 was sl.-
27. Forty banks paid four per cent dur
ing the year; one small bank paid 4>£
per cent, and seventeen paid 3 % per cent.

LIVELY TIMES IN COTTON.

was upward, and the day’s advance wa9
14 points. Even after the regular ex
change hours were over trading contin
tinued briskly, and the highest prices of
the day were freely paid, May cotton
selling for 9.35 c. and Augusta deliveries
at 9.60 c.
The rise in the market was a reaction
to the recent prolonged bear campaign,
during which the price of cotton has been
put down since last November to the ex
tent of $7 a bale. It is said that the ex
tremely low prices that have prevailed
lately, have induced dry goods people
and Wall street operators to go in and
buy, causing a rise.

CURE FOR FILES.
Piles are frequently preceded by a sf.nse of
weight m the back, loins and lower part of the
abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or neighboring or
gans. At times symptoms of indigestion are
present, flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach,
etc. A moisture, like perspiration, produeing a
very disagreeable itching, after getting warm,
is a common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the application of
Dr. Bosanko’s Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts effected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the intense itching, and effecting a per
manent cure. Price 50 cents. Address, The

PILES! PILES!! PILES!!!
A SURE CURE FOUND AT LAST!
NO ONE NEED STJWWKR.
A SURE CURE FOR BLIND, BLEEDING,
Itching and Ulcerated Piles has been dis
covered by Dr. Williams, (an Indian Remedy,)
called Dr. Williams’ Indian Pile Ointment. A
single box has cured the worst chronic cases of
25 years standing.
No one need suffer five minutes after applying
this wonderful soothing medicine. Lotions,
and electuaries do more harm than good. Wil
liams’ Pile Ointment absorbs the Tumors, allays
the intense itching, (particularly at night after
getting warm in bed), acts as a poultice, gives
instant relief, and is prepared only for Piles,
itching of the private part;, and for nothing else.
Read what the Hon. J. M. Coflinberry, of
Cleveland, says about Dr. Williams’ Indian Pile
Ointment: “I have used scores of Pile Cures,
and it affords me pleasure to say that I have
never found anything which gave such imme
diate and permanent relief as Dr. Williams’ In
dian Ointment.”
Hon. Judge W. P. Coons, Maysville, Ky., sayst
“I have suffered for years with iiching piles, and
have used many remedies. I have used Dr-
Williams’ Indian Pile Ointment and been cubed,
while every other remedy has failed.” For sale
