Bill Arp Says Earrison Being Presi¬ dent Will Not Affect Matters in the Least, Except to the Officeholders. What a glorious country it wluil a government, what a people How easy we can change our ers and have no revolution, no shock, no friction. How smoothly the wheels roll on. There is no difference between tliis month and last month no nanic holders no apnrehen- a^ sion. Theoffice sad of course, and wo arc sorry for them, but they need rest and time for meditation. They can now read ponder those beautiful p)ems, “Man was made to mourn, and Gray’s elegy, and “1 would not live always—I a.-k not to stay," and ! those 7 ) oolhine: nassatres of sc Dl ure, “I *— ow are the mighty fa! u," ‘Man that is born ol a woman is hut a few days and lull of trouble," “Betti r is a handful with quietness ^ lan handsfull with trivalnnd vexation than of spirit,” “Borrow is bet ter laughter; for by saduciS is the heart made better.'’ ! But tho government will roll on, »»•:« -»•»«.a.ur, B.nd«u »>• >,o I Iiandull, Mills or no Mills, negro or no negro, and the people will hardly know tho difference. All that General Harrison has got to do is to be gin where Mr. Cleveland left off and run it on that honest, patriotic line. What tho 'people want is honesty in the public. A common man who is honest is bet¬ ter than a smart rascal. Wo believe that Genera! Harri¬ son is a good, pure man, a gentle¬ man and a patriot. Of course he is liable to make mistakes, but we will tolerate them. He has made a mistake a ready in tho selection of his cabinet. It is the natural mis¬ take of a politician who thinks the rewarding of political friends is a bigger thing than tho public ser¬ vice. Cabinet officces should have a special, peculiar fitness for their departments. The farmers of this great nation l ave for years deman ded a place in the cabinet, and they wanted a practical agriculturalist with large experience and broad views—a man like John M. Stahl or Luther Tucker or Norman Col man. But such men were not pol iticians and couldn't come in. They .say that Governor Rusk did plow a few furrows in 1853, but ever since then he has been in politics. I ll bet he don’t know a cotton plant clieat from a jimpson weed, nor where comes from, nor how to measure a load of corn in the shuck. Then comes Governor Proctor, secretary of war, who knows noth ing about war nor West Point, ex eopt from hearsay, and his chief qualification is‘hat he headed the Vermont delegation and voted for Harrison first, last arid all the time. General Noble, the secretary of the interior, is a good lawyer, from St. Louis, and all we know about h : m from the press dispatches is that his wife’s sister wrote a book called Bcthsada. * General Tracy, the secretary of the navy, is another smart lawyer, but ktic.vs nothing about the navy, except that he chews navy tobacco and wears a navy blue undershirt in winter. Miller is a good man for bis place and so is Wannamaker. They are not politicians. If wc poVer have no vup turc with a foreign I think wc will get along, but take it all in all the cabinet is weak in business capacity. Of course Mr. Blaine can run his department, for that requires statesmanship, and he is a statesman. But the other departments require first-class bus¬ iness men—men who have succeed¬ ed in business affairs. But how few politicians ever succeed in business. Daniel Web¬ ster and Clay were utter failures as business nun. Our most noted Southern statesmen were business failures. So are Colquitt and Gor¬ don up to date, though they may strike another rich vein some ol these days. I hope they will. Joe Brown is an exception to all rules. He can think large and think small simultaneously. Ho will make a great tariff speech in the Senate and as he sits down at the close will see a stray shirt button and pick it up. A man told me that one time old Joe wanted to find out how much it would cost him to Laul his iron ore by wagon from •>» i ° ‘>>« s« u mado his sccietary put down the cost of a wagon, and how long it would last; the cost of harness, and cost ^ *?»<* 1 ie "«r, ,nu ‘ cS *««'•» ant ^ how long they would do service and how much they * would eat, and how mDC ... “ lhe v could , . , haul at a , load, , - v many k als a day, and the wages of the driver, and the a.ceins of the mule?; »nd lho wag on whip, andI Um canYOomb, and after it was all added, he studied a whilo snd sa id : -.Now put down tcn cen s a axle grease,” an< ^ »-^ cr a little more thinking he “put down five per cent for wear and tear and time lost in stall ! at Dr. Felton s hill.” General Uavrison had put old J°° at l ifa ^ oQhe post office he would have run it ^ or ®botit half what it now costs, tl»o wheels will run on—no t ody ts scared.—Constitution. Divorces the World Over. In Australia divorces have never been sanctioned. Divorces are scarcely ever known to occur in Modern Greece. In Hindoos! an either parly, torn alight cause may leave tho other and marry. Divorces are scared)’allowed in Thibet, unless with the consent of both parties. Re-marriage is bidden. l n Cochin, China, the parlies do siring divorce break a pair of chop -Ticks in the presence of witnesses and the thing is done. Among some tribes of Ametican Indians the pieces of sticks given iho witnesses of the inarriago are broken as a sign of divorce. Two kinds of divorces are grant ed it Circassia. -By the first the parties can immediately marry apain; by the seoud, not for a ycar. If the wife of a Turkoman nsk6 his permission to go out and he says “go’ without adding “come back again,” the) are divorced. Jo Liberia if a man is dissatified with the most trifling acts of his wife he tears a cap or veil from hor face, and that constitutes a dL vorce. Among the Moors, if the wife does not become the mother of a boy, she may be divorced with the consent efthe tribo and can marry again. In the artic regions a man who want a divorce leaves homo in an¬ ger and docs not return for several days. Tho wife takes tho hint and departs. In Cnina divorces are allowed in all cases of criminality, mutual dislike, jealousy, incompatibilly of temperament, the or of too the much loquaci ty on part wife. — Georgia Gold. Dalton, Ga., March 3.—Thero is considerable activity in gold min¬ ing in this state at prosent. Chas. F. Burr, of Dublonoga, who has beon in tho mining business all his life, says: “Tho largest gold mining in Georgia is the Hand & Barlow Min ing Company of Dahlonega. They operate nine stamp mills and own 3 000 acres of land. There are for ty or Dahlonega. more gold mining companies at They all use tho fashioned ‘up-and-down stamp mill,’ tho old method, in preference to any of the improved machinery, AH of the companies aro making money.” “Have thej*e been any rich finds >n Georgia?” “Oh, yes; quite a numbor at Dah lonega. From the JFindly mine, which wa9»worked before and since the war, there lias beon over $2, 000,000 taken out. In following a lead this company struck a rich pocket of black sand and took out a great quantity of gold. The pocket was in a black slate lead and particles of gold could be seen glistening all through it. The wa ter came in so badly that the own ers wero forced to abandon the mine before they got out all the gold “At the Battle Branch one pock ct yielded $72,000. The biggest clean up I ever saw in Georgia was cigbty-three pounds of gold taken up after the stamp mill had had been in operation continuously for a month. A pound of gold is woith $240. “What was the largest nuggot found valued at?” “If I remember correctly’ it weighed seventy-two pennyweights and was worth about $70. Last summer two prospectors, Ed Bull and Scupin, went out to an old mine and picked out the rick look* ing rocks and pounded them into a $240.” mortar. They got out in one day This same lead of gold-bearing quartz extends across the state, through bama. Paulding county, into Ala>* A few miles across the lint in that state, in Cleburne and Ran¬ dolph counties, are some rich gold mines These have not been so far developed as the Georgia mines but several mills are erecting and will bo running in thirty days. The United States established a mint at Dahlonega before the war. A large amount of gold was coined there. Tho $5 gold pieces made in Georgia aro frequently found in circulatior. They arc distinguished from tho other gold pieces by tho letter D under tho eagle.—N. Y. Sun. *«*• While the friends and relatives of Mi. Thom a* Reynolds, of the oa Standard theater were »“viuuru assembled yesterday , afternoon at his home, 329 East Eighteenth street, awa»t ing the beginning hi/Vife. of the funeral services over his 4 venr old daughfcr Maggie tiptoed to the coffin, and bending over it whispered : “Mamma, bit dere’s lots of n*ce peo pie No here, up and see them.” turned answer and coining to her, she said to live listeners : “My mamma is very sleepy, and I know she’s sorry not to see you all; but I’ll tell her.” Then wondering that they too made no answer, and alarmed by the tears she saw on every she ran to her father.—N. Y. Sun. I Women who Want Divorces, ; “It is nonsense to talk as if law* 3 cn * had any sympathy with lax divorce laws,* remarked a Pitts | burg attorney. “1 don’t believe that a man of any standing in tho profession anywhere, even in Chi'. cago, likes to take up a divorce caso. It s a disagreeable business at best, and respcctablo lawyers to dissuade their clients from divorce proceedings except as a dernier resort. “It’s queer, though, what ideas people have on the subject. A woman, in a fit of pique against hor husband, which will probably last but a few days at best, comes to me "and asks me if she can procure a divorce. When I have questioned her and analyzed her complaints I frequently find them of the most trivial character. In such a case I usually give a liberal amount of advice, but quite a different char acler from what the applicant ex peels. Nine timos out of ten the woman takes the same viow of the matter as I do, alter I have argued with her, and promises to go back to her husband, at the same time requesting mo never to mention the fact that she had talked about getting a divoicc. Why, thero is one woman I Could name who has been hero seven or eight times re solvod on getting a divorco. She is still living with her husband—I happened to beiievo know both of thorn wcll—and I their married life is on the whole about as pious anl ns that of most people." “Is uniformity of divorco laws desirable?" “Certainly it is—a good law, which should be tho samo in its ap¬ plication in every state, would bo a blessing to tho country. It may come in time, but not soon, I fear." —Pittsburg Dispatch. •••« A Spicy Decision. Justice B : anford, of the Sr.prome dour*, rendered the following de c’sion in a caso tried before a jus t ; ce of the peace, in Pike county. The justice ot the peace had charg¬ ed the jury in favor of the defend¬ ant, when the evidence was over¬ whelmingly in favor of the plain¬ tiff. This is Justice Blandtord’s de¬ cision : Tho ease was tried in p justice cour* lion. on R. appeal Higgins, before a jury, the G. justice of the ponce, presiding. Ilis honor charg¬ ed tho jury as follows: “Gentlemen th ; s is a case which has beon tried hy me before, and I decided in fa¬ vor of the defendant. I further charge you, gentlemen, that if you find any settlement has been made, you find for de find ant. Retire and make up your verdict.” Tho law docs not require a jus¬ tice of the peace to charge the jury at all. Ilia ignorance of the law, as woll as propriety, would seem to demand that tie should not, but il he undertakes to instruct the juvy he must do it correctly, and in ac cordance with law. A justice of lho peace is generally a man of consequence in his neighborhood; ho writes the wills draws the deeds and puIJs tho teeth of tho people; also, he performs divers surgical operations on the animals of his ne ; ghbors. The Justice has plaj r ed hi3 part on the busy stage of life from tho lime of of Mr. Justice Shallow down to the timo of Jus¬ tice Higgcns. Who has not seen tho gaping, listening crowd assem¬ bled around Ills Honor, tho Jus t ’co, on tiptoe to catch the words of wisdom as they fell from his venerated lips ? “And stilled they gazed, » And still the w onder grew, That one small head Could carry all he knew.” —Atlanta Constitution. A Thomasville Hotel Burned. The Thomasville, ga., March 13 Gulf house, the well-known railroad eating house at this place, was entirely consumed by fire to¬ night at 9:30 o'clock. The house was full of guests, most of whom saved their effects, A portion of the furniture was 6avcd. Tho build ing was insured for 15,000 and the fdrniture for $3,000. This, how¬ ever, lacks several thousand dol¬ lars of covoring the losses. It is said that the Virginia house, oppo¬ site the depot, will be opened by Fields & Phillipot, proprietors of the Gulf hotel, to-morrow, so the traveling public will not bo seri¬ ously inconverienoed. «*ra Their Debt to the Law. Little Rock, Ark, March 15.-— Willis Green, Anderson Mitchell and Daniel Jones, all colorod, were hanged at Arkadelphia, Ark., to „„ day, for the murder of a negro preacher, Ai thur Horton, May 21, 1818. Tho execution was private. »* Mormon Converts. Atlanta, Ga. March 15.—Four or five Mormon elders arrived here to-day with the product of their la¬ bors in Richmond and Columbia counties. They had in charge six ty five convertM; men and women, and l**ft with them this afterneon for Salt Lake City. Capitol Furnishing Commission.

Chicago, March 13.—A special from Los Angelos, Cal., to tho Dai ly News, says : “Great excitement existed in the Lower California gold mining camps last night, and thousands of desperato geld hunt¬ ers aro breathing vengeance against tho international company of En¬ glish capitalists whose agents lay claims to the mines and aro trying to shut out Americans and othors. Yestorday it bccamo known that the company had sent to San Fran¬ cisco for 3,000 Chinamen to work the mines. Last night tho Ameri¬ can anil Mexican miners hold a mass meeting and determined not to submit to the coming of tho coo¬ lies. They also framed a petition to protection. tho American Tho congress asking situation looks threatening, and a battle between tho independent company’s miners and tho En¬ glish men is locked for every moment. Blood will cer¬ tainly bo shed if tho company in¬ sists on bringing coolies to tho the camp. The coming of soldiers into Low¬ er California to protect the miners that have gone to tho new minos, seems to have brought trouble. Since the strike was made, Mexi¬ cans, Indians and Americans have been working indiscriminately without aid from the government. With soldiery, camo Secrotary Co¬ la, representing tho government of tho peninsula with instructions to collect recording and denounce¬ ment fees from every working mine that mado an announcement of bus¬ iness. All placer works must pay $250 to denounce a 20 meters square claim, and after deciding to take permanent additional possession of the fame, to pay an $16.50. Com¬ plaints went up from Americans and Mexicans alike. Tho miners wrote the governor. The gover¬ nor replied that ho could mako no reduction. On this account many newcomers have left, and more are expected to leave.—Press dispatch. •---— Now Orleans, March 5—The sec¬ ond rc-union of tho veterans of,th e confederate cavalry was held here yesterday. Col. George Moorman presiding. Thero were about 200 veterans present. Jefferson Davis, his wife and daughter wero elected honorary members of the associa cialion. Later in tho day Miss Winnie Davis came into the hall where she was received with great enthusiasm. Gen. W. II. Jackson was chosen president of the associ¬ ation, and a vice president was elected for each state. After a ban¬ quet tonight the association ad¬ journed Press to meet again next year. Ass. dispatch. •a* Fall Rirer, Mass., March 12— The strike situation in this city is not greatly changed, but appears to favor Iho weavers. They are firm, and only 1,000 out of 4,000 looms, arc running. A mass meet¬ ing of the striking weavers was held on south park this morning, and the most notable matters in the addresses were as follows: Loom fixers in some mills are being dis¬ charged for striking declining to take the places of weavors,. Advice was given to boycott the saloons, and offers of football players’ ser¬ vices have beon made, as a means of raising money. The crowd, though large, was remarkably orderly, and not a policeman show was in sight. The manufacturers no chango of front.—Ass.

About Mr. Walker. Mr. Frank Walker did not tako a part in the first wcok of the Wool folk trial. Ho was too ill with bronchitis to appear in court. Seen yesterday morning, Mi% Walker said: “I was not there simply bo becauso 1 was not ablo to in court last week, Further than that my presence was not es¬ sentia!, as, being unacquainted with the people of Bibb county, I could not assist in making up the jury. I filed an affidavit In regnad to my illness and camo homo. “How about a chango of venue f “Well. 1 think thoro will bo a chango of venue, and 1 hardly think it will go to any other county in that circuit. Of course that will depend on what tho counsel dooicio to do. If - they do nothing, why, the court will designate tho place of holding tho trial. Why do you think it will bo car¬ ried beyond tho Macon circuit? “For tho simplo reason that In nil those counties near tho scene of the crime, public sentimont is such that it will be impossible to socure a ju¬ ry. Anothor reason is, that tho ju¬ ry lists are, comparatively speak¬ ing restricted in thoso couuties, and that will make it harder to socure a jury than it would bo in a larger city. “Will it come to Atlanta?
