The Prodigal Son In a New Dress. Leadville (Col.) Letter.! The services were in a variety theatre; some whisky barrels made the pulpit. After the singing of “A day’s march nearer home,” a hard-featured miner rose to address the hard-featured con gregation : Friends, the regular preacher has gone down among the boys who are working the new carbonate mines at Gunnison, and I have been appointed to take his hand and heave it for all it’s worth. To many of you present it won’t he neces sary to tell yon that I'm kinder new to this business, hut I don’t believe there’s a rooster in the camp mean enough to take advantage of my ignorance and cold deck me on the first deal. I have been reading in this yer book that yarn aboflt the prodigal son, and I will try to tell you the story. The book don’t give no dates, hut 1 guess it happened a good spell back in history. It seems the prod igal’s father was pretty flush with the stamps, and a real good sort into the bar gain. as he always shelled out freely when the kid struck him for a stake, and never bucked at the size of the pile neither, so long as the boy heaved in hearty on the ranch and generally be haved hisself handsum. But by and by the kid began to get restless and wanted to rustle out to travel; so he got the ole man to ante up in advance of the death racket and let him go. He no sooner got his divy in his pocket than he shood the ranch and spead himself out to take in some of the far-off camps. Wall, ac cording to the book he had a way-up time at first and slung the coin around as if he owned the best paying lead with in a thousand miles of Denver. But my friends, the game didn’t last forever. Hard luck struck him at last, and the prod is found in one of his sober inter vals remarking in a confidential way to one of his chums: “I say, olepard, I’m busted clean down to the bed rock, and them’s the cold-blooded facts.” The book don’t say what the prod went broke on, hut probably he steered up against some brace game. Be that as it may, however, he was so beautifully cleaned out that he hadn’t a two-bit piece left to go east on. In this fix he struck a ranch belonging to an old granger, who, taking pity on the poor, busted prod, gave him a job of herding hogs. The granger wasn’t a bad old sample in a general way, but he was inclined to be kinder mean on tlie feed, and so it came that often the prod got so frightfully sharp-set for a meal he had to go whacks in the trough. You bet the kid who in his flush times had been nosing round among the best of everything like a sil ver king or a big railway monopolist, had now plenty of time on his hands for doing a tail lot of thinking, and one day he said to himself: “I’ll just ding this business. Why, even the meanest help in my old governor’s hired service are living on square grub, arid plenty of it, while I’m worrying along here on shook lunch. I know what I’ll do—l’ll just skip back home to the old man and ask for anew deal.” So away he went, but he had a hard time a raehing the old ranch, and don’t you forget it, VV hen you have plenty of coin, my friends, everybody’s pleasant, but when you are on the borrow you don’t find it so good. Finally, he did strike the familiar trial leading down to the old home, and while crossing some open lots the old man, as the book puts it, saw him coming afar off. Yes, that old man’s eyes were very dim, but he did not fail to spot his boy afar off. And what d’ye suppose that boy’s fath er did ? Did he whistle the dogs up to chase him off the ranch ? You bet he didn’t. Did he go and take down his shot-gun and wait till he got a good drop on him ? No, hut I’ll tell you what he did. He just waltzed right out of the gate to meet him, and froze to that scare crow right on the spot and fell to kissing of him and weeping over him and calling him his poor, long lost boy, until the prod got broke all up and cried like a sluice dam when the snow comes down of Dike’s peak in a July sun. The old man then took him right away to a cloth ing store and rigged tiim out in the nob biest suit, to he Lad for coin, and put an elegant ring on his finger, ordered the fattest steer on the ranch to be slaugh tered, invited all die neighbors in, and had the biggest blow-out the camp had ever seen. Now, it appears the prod’s elder brother was out at work with the teams and when he came back he asked some of the help what was the meaning of the picnic they were having inside, and when he was told the reason lie got just real mad. The old man, hearing of this, went out to him and said: “Come in, lad; you’re brother’s come back, and we’re having a regular old-fashioned jubilee; now you come right along like a good fellow and take a share in the break down.” But the brother wouldn’t budge, and said: “Look here, dad, I have stuck to the ranch and never trans gressed your orders, but it never struck you to 1 ave a picnic of this kind until you give it in honor of a loafer who has disgraced our name.” But, my friends, you make your bets on It that the old man had a level head on him, and wasn’t to be easily bluffed. He says: “My son, you say you have never transgressed my orders, but are you quite sure that’s right? I tell you, my lad, that you have greviously transgress ed my commandments now by your un brotherly and uncharitable behavior. Learn that l am not pleased by service of mere form, if the heart is not in accord. You may count that your service is ac cording to the letter of the law; but I tell you it don’t till the bushel worth a cent, so far as the spirit is concerned. The spirit you are showing, my lad, is the one that leads to narrow-mindedness, to bigotry, to intolerance, and to fooling around and burning folks because they don’t fix up their formal observances just exactly as you have arranged and as you assert must be right.” And now friends it is to the credit cf the brother that he took Ids old father’s square talk in good part, and you bet that old man was a real neighbor—and don’t you for get it. An engine belonging to the C., S. & M. railroad was attached and detained at Selma, just before the time for its start ing with a passenger train on Monday. The levy was made by the sheriff of Dal las county on behalf of the State of Ala bama, to ' satisfy a judgment obtained by the State against Fred Woiffe on account of his dealings with Ike Vincent. It is claimed that Mr. Wolfl'e has $6,000 inter est in the road. The train was delayed three hours, until another engine could .be brought into use.

It covers nearly three acres of ground; its cubic mass is 4,287,000 feet; it cost about 100,- 000,000 francs. The largest suspension bridge is the one between New York city and Brook lyn; the length of the main span is 1,595 feet, six inches; the entire length of the bridge is 5,980 feet. The loftiest actiye volcano is Popocata petl—“Smoking mountain” thirty-five miles southwest of Puebla, Mexico; it is 17,748 feet above the sea level, and has a crater three miles in circumference and 1,000 feet deep.

The largest ship in the world is the Great Eastern. She is 6,080 feet long, 83 feet broad and 60 feet deep, being 28,629 tons burden, 18,915 gross and 13,- 344 net register. She was built at Mill wall-on-the-Thames and was launched January 31, 1857. The largest body of fresh water on the globe is Lake Superior, 400 miles long, 160 wide at its greatest breadth, and hav ing an area of 32,000 square miles. Irs mean depth is 900 feet, and its greatest depth is said to he about 200 fathoms. Its surface is about 635 feet above the leyel of the sea. The biggest cavern is the Mammoth Cave, in Edmonson county, Kentucky. It is near the Green river, about six miles from Cave City and twenty-eight from Bowling Green. The cave consists of a succession of irregular chambers, some of which are large, situated on different levels. Some of these are traversed by navigable branches of the subterranean Echo river. Blind fish are found in its waters. Major Bacon and Gen. Gordon had a discussion at Sparta on Tuesday. The report of the Constitution shows that it was also exciting and heated. The most noteworthy p6int in it is that Major Bacon declared emphatically that he would not, if Governor, nominate Hon. L. N. Trammell for re-election as Rail road Commissioner. Mr. Trammell is the only Commissioner whose term will expire duiing the next gubernational term. Sib:—My chilu, live years old, had symptoms ot worms.

COST OF PUBLISHING A PAPER. Savannah News.] A newspaper agency in New York has been investigating the reason why some newspapers charge more than others for advertising. There is certainly a great difference in newsp per advertising rates. The leading dailies of the great cities of the North and West charge from 50c to .$2 per line. The agency in question, however, has not been giving so much attention to the rates of the leading dadies of the great cities as to those of the dailies of the smaller cities. There are two kinds of this latter class of dailies. One has all the expenses of a full telegraphic service, large editorial and reportorial staffs and numerous paid correspondents. Each of the papers of this kind has an almost ex clusive territory, and to hold it against competitors it has to incur a large extra expense in collecting the news of its ter ritory, and, also, in getting facts at the great news centieq reflecting interests in its territory. The other kind of dailies of the smaller cities is that which incurs very little ex pense for dispatches, or for original arti cles—and which, in fact, prints compara tively little reading matter. For every dollar this kind expends in the interest of its readers the kind first mentioned spends ten. The difference in the cost of the two kinds has been growing great er for a good while and continue to grow. There has, of course, been a continual increase in the income from subscriptions of the costly kind of papers, especially in the South where the growth in the reading population has been, within the last few years, quite marked, but the charges for advertising have advanced very little, if at all. In some cities they certainly have not advanced. For several years there has been a laudable rivaly among the leading news papers of the South, which has been of much greater benefit to their readers than to their owners. The statement that the cost of publishing newspapers like the Morning News, Atlanta Constitu tion, Charleston News and Courier and others of the same class is three times as great as it was ten years ago, is within the truth. It is also within the truth to say that these papers are wortli as news papers and advertising mediums three or four times as much now as they were then. Their readers, however, pay no more for them, and their advertisers are charged very little, if anv, higher rates. Comparatively lew people have any idea of thecostof publishing a newspaper. Indeed, only those who are connected with the business part of it know much about the cost. The expenses of a daily newspaper in this city are as great—with the exception of the outlay for white pa per required by the larger edition —as those of dailies published in cities having from five to twenty times as many peo ple. The rates for advertising, however, are very low compared to the rates in the larger cities. The daily papers in some of the smaller cities are in advance of the ability of the territory in which they are published to support them, but being ambitious that their cities shall make the best possible appearance before the world, they under take to do more than they can really af ford to. - ♦ • GOKVON GAINING. Maj. Bacon I>oses His Temper While Ad dressing the Spartans. Sparta, Ga., May 18.—As per an nouncement the two Gubernatorial can didates met in joint discussion here to day. At 2 ::>0 o’clock Maj. Bacon opened, and spoke for an hour and a quarter. Gen. Gordon followed for a like time. The former closed in fifteen minutes. Maj. Bacon addressed his speech mainly to Gen. Gordon’s resignation from the United States. Senate. He argued that he would resign the Governorship if occasion offered. He said Gen. Gordon had been unfaithful to a high trust. The speech was highly personal. He claimed that Gen. Gordon’s candidacy forced a conflict on the party. Gen. Gordon re plied defending himself in resigning. Maj. Bacon, he said, had once resigned in 1862 to become a tax gatherer. Gen. Gordon carried the crowd. His defense was complete. In concluding, Maj. Ba con affirmed himself no longer a friend of Gen. Gordon. He denounced the At lanta ring, and Atlanta associations made even Judge Blanford uncertain. The joint canvass was verging on an open rupture. He predicted an explo sion soon. The audience number ed 600, and included the best citi zens in the county. Gen. Gordon seenv ed to carry the crowd. Maj. Bacon lost ground by not keeping his temper, and giving a personal turn to the discus sion. He was evidently mad at Gen. Gordon’s candidacy and thus injures himself with the people. Gen. Gordon has the soldier vote almost solid. The people favor primary elections. It the meeting to-day was a fair index the coun ty will send Gordon delegates. The peo ple were in better humor than the speak ers. The crowd dispersed cheering for the respective favorites. THE NOMINATING CONVENTION. Calhoun Times.] There is a disposition on the part of Hon. J. C. Clements and his supporters to kick because the nominating conven tion for the Seventh Congressional dis trict is called for the Bth of July, claim ing that it is too early, and that it does not give Mr. Clements a fair chance. I They also intimate that it is done in the interest of Judge Pain. Now so far as this is concerned, we can say without fear of contradiction, that Judge Fain had nothing to do with the calling of the convention, and would have been satislied with a later date. The chairman of the committee is a strong Blance man, as every one knows, with Clements, it is supposed, as his second choice. The convention of 1878 was held in Kinggold on the 4th ot July. Did anybody kick them? Another thing; why should it be necessary for Mr. Clem ents to be present? He has had six years in Congress and the people know him. If they want his services for another term they will notify him. Brooks, alias Maxwell, the St. Louis trunk murderer, has made a written state ment of the method by which his room mate, Preller, came to his death, and his counsel will rely upon it in his defense in the pending trial. lie claims to have accidentally killed Preller while ad ministering chloroform preparatory to the performance of a delicate surgical operation. His subsequent actions he is unable to account for, owing to his be coming crazed with excitement and drink after the death of Preller.

One of the most dastardly murders that has been committed in Fulton county in years, took place at West End, on last Sunday, and genial, pleasant and hospi table Frank Gray was the victim. With out warning, and without notice shot down, almost in sight of his wife and four little children who was waiting and watching for his return. His life taken from him just as he had reached the hap piest, sunniest hour of his existence, and with the kiss of his wife and little ones still warm ui>on hi? lips, he entered the great unknown world which lies beyond the stars. Nearly everybody that knows Frank R. Gray loved him and admired his frank, open and manly manner, and when the news reached the city of his assassina tion, nothing but a profound sense of re gret was expressed by all at his untimely death. That an unarmed and defenseless gentleman was shot and killed without sufficient provocation is plain, and the entire affair of the killing points to but one hypothesis, and that is murder of the most cowardly kind. Could Col. Gray’sassassin have witness ed the death bed scene of his victim, and seen the closing act of the horrible and heartrending drama that he had enacted on this beautiful and quiet Sabbath day, he could carry to a successful end the farce which he attempted, after he had slain his life, by his own hand. * Could he have seen the fond wife, and mother of four little children, throw her self in frenzied grief upon the dying husband and father and kiss his lips, which were rapidly taking the colorless hue of death, and laying even in death to get him to speak to her, and not leave her alone with her little babes to do bat tle with a selfish and unfeeling world, could Me have seen her as she moaned out the words. “How could he do it? How could he do it,” and then in almost fren zied shrieks cry out: “Can it be possi ble that he is dying, and that I shall lose him? merciful heaven, my husband is dead.” Could R. L. Jones have seen all this misery and sorrow that he had brought upon a happy home, I repeat again that the farce he introduced after his tragedy would have had a successful termination. TOO LATE. A story is told as authentic, of a young man in the Highlands of Scotland, who became a drunkard, a gambler, and, in the expressive Scotch phrase, a “ne’er do-well.” His father owned a small farm which had been in the family for two hundred yea.s. But to save Jock from the consequences of his misdoing, he was obliged to mortgage it far beyond the possibility of le lemption. The old man sank under the disgrace and misery, and died, leaving his wife, two or three children and worthless Jock. But the stiock of his death brought the hoy to his senses. He foreswore cards and whisky, came home, and turned into hard work. He toiled steadily for years. At last his mother was “struck with death.” Jock, now a middle-aged, grizzled farmer, stern and grave, was sent for in haste. He Stood in silence by her death bed a moment, and then broke forth : “Mlther! mither! gin ye see feyther there tell him the farm’s our own agen. An’ it’s a’ recht wi’ me.” The story reminds us of Dr. Johnson, who went when he was an old man to stand in the market place of Uttoxeter, his gray head bared to the pelting rain, in bitter remembrance of some act of disobedience to his father on that spot when he was a boy. But of what avail are these tears or acts of atonement when the old father or mother whom we have hurt and slight ed so cruelly is de id ? I)o they see ? Do they forgive? Who can say? “It is only,” said a mother lately, “since my own children speak to me with rudeness and contempt, that I un derstand how great the debt was which I owed to my mother, and how poorly I paid it.” Many a poor girl who reads these words, who treats her mother as a mem ber of the family wlio does the work of a servant without a servant’s wages, or a tad who flings about the money which the father is fast spending his feeble life to earn, will awaken some day to utter their remorse in an exceedingly bitter cry; to which, alas, can come no answer. — Selected. Woerishoft'er, the New York milion aire did not die suddenly. He has been dying for a year, nut nobody knew it. One of his friends said, the other day: “I do not believe this theory of sudden deaths from natural causes. Some time ago I read a book from the pen ot a young physician in Paris, who held that there was no such thing. He contended that all natural deaths were gradual, and that the reason many were considered untimely was because their symptoms were not known even to their victims. This is especially true in mental diseases. Men are often so worried—unconscious ly, almost—in business that their brains become affected. Their symptoms are so mild that do not alarm or concern them. The attack is the more dangerous on ac count of Its insidiousness. Little by lit tle their brains wear and wear. At last there conies a more than usual strain, and the result is a rupture of one of the worn out blood vessels, and we hear that the victim has suddenly died like Woe rishoffer.” Jeff Davis in a Campaign Issue. One feature of the work of tl\e Congres sional committee will be a liberal distri bution of the recent speeches' made by JefT Davis. Mr. McPherson will have verbatim copies of these speeches, and they are to be carefully edited, so as to cull from them the breathings of what the Republicans call treason and disloy alty. These will be circulated by thou sands in States which sent large quotas of troops to the war. In Tennessee the plan is to discuss tariff question, sending to the State some of the best speakers on this subject. The tariff will also be the feature of the canvass in Michigan. The Republican defection in lowa is to be solidified, if it can be, by the literature Jeff Davis has gratuitously furnished.— Washington dispatch to Cincinnati En guirer. Mr. 11. C. Sanderson, of Montgomery, Ala., was one of the soldiers who guarded the Confederate treasure wagons which were abandoned at Washington, Ga., May 7, 1805. On the night of that day each of the soldiers received $25 in silver. Mr. Sanderson kept his money and show ed it the other day in the office of the Montgomery Advertiser. He says ex- President Davis ordered the greater part of the money to be paid to the soldiers, and he does not believe Mr. Davis kept a single dollar for the necessities of him self and family. NUMBER 17 AN OUTRAGE IN AUGUSTA. Atlanta Constitution.] The outrage committed or. General Gordon in Augusta, where he was so hissed and jeered that he could not con clude his speech, will show the good peo ple of Georgia spirit that animates the opposition to him, and the legitimate result to which it is being driven by those who have determined to destroy I General Gordon. Let us be exact about the extent of this outrage. It is already indirectly hinted by the Bacon men that the reports of it are overdrawn. The facts do not show ' this. It was so indecent and so flagrant | that Mr. J. C. C. Black telt called upon l to protest, although he is a Bacon man, and in rebuking its perpetrators, to say that “no cause deserved to succeed” that had to resort to such means. The indi cations are that this outrage was not only flagrant hut deliberate. The Bacon men organized at Clara Hall before the speaking, and the reports say “they had a lively meeting there.” It is reasona ble to suppose that the programme for the night was arranged at that prelimi naiy meeting. The scene was a disgraceful one. The turbulent and intolerant spirit that is back of it, is worse. The scar on Gor don’s cheek, won in honorable battle, must have rebuked those who were not crazed with excitement, as a Georgia crowd in a Georgia city denied him the right of free speech. We are much mis taken if his old comrades in arms —if every man in Georgia who loves fair play —if every conservative and right-minded citizen—does not make this rebuke in the most emphatic manner. General Gordon has done nothing to deserve such treat ment at the hands of Georgians. No liv ing man has done more to deserve better treatment. And the people will see that he has it, and that those who put this crowning indignity on him are made to understand that such methods will not win in Georgia. SAM JONES VINDICATAD. The Baltimoreans Indorse His Words and His Methods. In a sermon the other night to 5,000 people, at the rink in Baltimore, Sam Jones said: “I am abused, hut, thank God, I can stand it. (Applause.) My Savior never got into so-called respectable so ciety while he was in the world. (Ap plause.) I read of Him among publicans and sinners and fighting the devil for ty days, hut never associated with the gay, giddy, goodless ones of earth. If l never receive anything hut cutis anti scorn from the leading society people in the town L can wait till I get to heaven for my vindication. (Applause.) Thank God there will he no so-called society people there to cuff me. (Ap plause.) What ever keeps my mind from heaven and its issues l banish from me forever. Thank God for the faithful preachers. I want the indorsement of the congregations. Thank God they are not the hoodlums and rabble of Balti more. They are as respectable people as ever assembled in this city. Brethren (turning to the preachers on the plat form behind him), as God shall judge you at the last day, don’t you believe 1 have stuck to the word of God, to the best interests of all the people of this city when I have denounced these wordiy practices that are damning your city? Those who can say it, stand up. (The whole body arose.) Put those seventy live preachers clown as on my side. (Ap plause.) The wires last night carried the news to New York that the socieiy of Baltimore was being outraged by the preaching of these so-called evangelists I want all those who have felt outraged to stand up. (Not a person arose.) I want you reporters to say that five thou sand people in the rink to-night say it’s a lie—-it’s a lie. (Continued applause.) JUDGE FAIN. “Voter” in the Catoosa Courier,] As to his record as a Judge the people of the 7th know and recognize his ability ; he being as pure, bright and good as any one who has ever honored the bench in Georgia. lam intimately acquainted with him and have been for years and say to his credit that he never deceived or deserted a friend in any matter, always open hearted, honest and true, and where he is best known is liked most. I was informed to-day by a gentleman of his town that if there was any one opposing him in either his town or county that he did not know of it. Does not this speak volumes for him; what more could I add ? He is a poor man and I knew that it is his unbounded liberality that keeps him so. He opens his hands and divides lib erally his earnings with the poor and needed of the land. Now I have tried hard, honestly to bring the character and virtues of this gentleman before the people of my coun ty. Should Judge Fain be so fortunate as to get the nomination it will he thank fully received, and in my opinion he will always be found at his post of duty, bat tling faithfully, honestly intelligently for his constituents. Such a man my follow citizens is worthy of your support. Give him your support and honor the cause he fought so hard to sustain. Give him your support in honor of the name he bears among his fellow men, and again give him your support, believing he will do right. Frank Hatton says: Blaine is a can didate in dead earnest again. His family is announced as having joined the Catho lic Church. That always happens when Blaine wants anything real bad. It gives him a chance to come out and ex plain how he goes to the Congregational church, how Walker inclines to Metho dism and how the rest of the family mix up their religion. He uses a religious scoop ret for votes. I presume it will come out pretfy soon that Blaine is a Knight of Labor. The police of Chicago are gathering the toils uncomfortably tight about Spies, Schwab, and Fischer in the matter of throwing the bomb at the Anarchist meeting. A grocer named Melvin M. Thompson has been found, who heard these three discussing whether or not more bombs should be procured just before the attack was made upon the police. THE MOST RELIABLE AGENT for destroying and expelling worms from children and adults is Shriner’s Indian Vermifuge, 25 cents a bottle. Try It. Every bottle guaranteed to give satisfac tion. A few nights since I gave my son one dose of Worm Oil, and the next day he passed sixteen large worms. At the same time I gave one dose to my little girl four years old, and she passed eighty-six worms, from four to fifteen iuceslong inch 18 W. F. PHILLIPS, Athens, Oa. + Beautiful berry sets at Curry’s
