He will be absent for a year or more. The yellow fever has not reached the mainland in Florida, and the au¬ thorities everywhere seem be be on the guard against it. Brunswick has nearly quadrupled her population in the last seven years. In 1880 it numbered 2,000; she now approaches 8,000. The Albany News says that the watermelon fields present a ragged stand, ami the plants that arc seen look mangy. Prosidont Cleveland says that since the tree railway passes have been called in lie has far fewer importu ners for offices. The Summerville Journal announces that next to joining the Masonic lodge, getting married is the most important duty the ordinary man has to peform in a lifetime. “There are 220 newspapers in Geor¬ gia,and still she prospers.”—Bronwood Reporter. Still she prospers! Tltat’s equivalent to saying there are f228,000 in a mau’s pocket, and still he don’t starve. A Florida man was recently tried for breaking open a car, and although the evidence was conclusive, was ac¬ quitted, because in Florida there is a law against breaking into a house or a vessel, but none against breaking iuto a car. Gov. Gordon had the misfortune to offend a large number of voting ladies during his recent visit to Nashville.— At a reception he shook hands with all the young ladies present except one. The exception, said to be tire most beautiful of all, he kissed. The others wanted to be kissed, too. Coffee has rcacncn a f>oitit where poor people will have toquH drinking it. The cause of the unusual rise is due to the purchase of large quantities of coffee by Dm Hard and other New York speculators, who are holding for higher prices. The consumption has fallen off nearly fifty per cent, in the large cities. A number of newspapers arc twit¬ ting Judge Crisp for lieing a little too previous in offering his congratula¬ tions during the Chattahoochee river convention in Columbus. A number of the New York Sun says: “The dale now assigned, in expecta¬ tion, to the most interesting event of the year, is the latter pari of August next. Carry the news to Judge Crisp at Amcricus.” The Ocala (Fla.) paper rejiorts the arrest in that town of Jus. E. Ogburn, charged with murder in YV'ilkiiiKon county, this State. It says: “The sher¬ iff made the arrest lust Saturday and has notified the proper authorities in our sister State of the fact. Ogburn Is a talT, fmo-looking man, and lias been residing in the eounty for some time. He made no resistance when arrested, atul tried to* prove his inno¬ cence, but afterwards told the sheriff ho had committed the deed for which he was arrested.” Colonel Robert Ingersoll is evidently no prohibitionist. He recently sent an esteemed friend a very old jug of rare whiskey, and with it were the follow¬ ing lines in the Colonel ( s weFr known chirography. It is a tribute to the “ardent” the* all old topers will enjoy, and is entitled to lake rank along with the editor Lamar’s tribute to the mint julcp: “I send you some of the most wonderful |wliiskey tiiwt ever drove the. skeletal* from a feast or painted landscapes in the-brain of man. It is the mingled souls of wheat and com. In it you will find the sunshine and the shadow that chased each other over the billowy fields, the breath of June, the carol of the lark, tire dews of night, the wealth of summer and autumn's rich content, all golden with impris¬ oned light. Drink lt r nudyoti witthear men and maidetTR singing the ‘Harvest Home,’ mingled with the laughter of children. Drink ih and you will feel within your Wood the star-lit dawns, the dreamy, tawny dusks of many perfect days. For forty years this liquid Joy has been within the happy graves of oak, longing to touch the Ihp of man. M FOR FARMERS. From Macon Telegraph. Certain rural editor* and politicians propose to punish every man who fa¬ vors the protection of American in¬ dustry and labor, by reading all such out of tlie Democratic party. The al¬ leged warrant for this inhuman cruel¬ ty is that (lie poor farmer is being pauperized by the tariff. Very few farmers arc being caught by such chaff. They have been reading much of late, and arc getting sound ideas on all economic questions, and protection to-day is growing almost as fast among the farmers of Middle Georgia as gourd vines and grass, We have fallen upon a little piece for the farm¬ ers to readers, and reproduce it for their especial benefit. The Index and Appeal, of Virginia, is as much a Southern journal as the Macon Telegraph, and it favors pro¬ tection. The agricultural editor of the Appeal sometimes brushes the tobac¬ co stems from his lap and indites a very searching article. This otic is plain and strong, and may be easily understood. It will puzzle any free trader to answer it, and here it is: “Under the protection of the tariff the small State of Vermont produces annually twenty-seven million pounds of butter, ten million pounds of ma¬ ple sugar, threo million pounds of wool and one million tons of hay. With Canada at her doors, said to be the best sheep country in the world, and a good stock country, could she do it without protection! It would be im¬ possible. The British dependency would undersell her every time. “So with the article of potatoes, a crop produced largely in all of the New England States. But for the tariff on potatoes. Canada would rush in to supply the large Northern mar¬ kets, and the farmers of the northern Unltod States would be met by seri ous, if not ruinous competition. “ So again with Floridaorangcs and melons. But for the protection to her own (which people as yet afforded is not high by the enough) tariff j YVcst Indes and Bermuda could beat her a long way. “Farmers need protection as much as any class in the country. Thetrou- I ble is they ire not receiving enough of, it. For instance, in the article of wool. Farmers in this country should call loudly for high tariff on all the pro¬ ducts of our soil. “True, high tariff has a tendency to tnakc articles manufactured in the United Status high to the purchaser, which purchaser is very often the far mer. but the Increase and spread of factories operates to bring prices down. rn They . compete with ... and . cut each , other, Tho farmer al.oul.l advocate the In erca*o of faciorfee also. With high protec ton on his crops, ami factories increasing ami competing throughout the countr), tending to hold mnnufac tured articles down at the lowest IIv ibg rates, things would be a little itearcr equal tor the farmer, and if he could not sell any higher than now he wouU not be forced by foreign l>etilion to sell lower. Besides he would have a pcrmauenily established and growing market for bis products. r6e trade , for . inter-state . . . •r commerce, since we are one l>eoplc; but when it comes ____ to .^ ,, the „ . international . .. , exchange, , give the American farmer a good. strong tarift* to dcfciut him from the slave and pauper labor of other lands, and to enable him 10 support himsclt and his well-paid help in opulence.— Free trade can never help the Ameri¬ can farmer. THE SOUTH OEOKGIA LIME SINKS. From the Albany, Ga., News. The frequency with which deep, round holes arc met with in this country suggists lo many that there is danger in traversing the woods ami fields of this section. The earth has been known to cave in without any apparent reason, and a large area of the surface sink down from twenty to fifty feet, with trees standing just as before, leaving straight and precipit¬ ous sides. In some instances mules and plowmen have gone down togeth¬ er for a considerable distance, while cattle have been lost and only discov¬ ered after they had perished for want of food and water, being unable to ef¬ fect their escape from their prison. While all this is known, the reasons for It are not generally understood. This whole section rests on a substratum of nme rock which is honeycombed with subterranean streams of greater or i c88 depth. The streams have, by the attrition of (licit* sides and banks, won. their channel, wldoraml deeper. I he surface water, or rain water, fall* ing gather, from the air carbouic acid gas, and in pcrculating through the porous soil brings this in contact with tUn thc Umn lime rock, disintegrates .. .. ___. a .. it slowly, , . and it i» thus year by vear worn thin ner ner. The 1 tic noil soil jnst in«t nv’ni* over wlieie h.a the lock yields most readily to the action of the gas anti water, in which great caverns are eaten, finally becomes too heavv for the thin arch of rock that supports its weight and crushes it in. The depth of the sink dependi upon several considerations, the angles sides made by the fracture iu the sui lace in the earth and by the depth the cavity immediately under. At times the caving earth disappears and water rises in the sink. The Blue Spring was evidently formed in this way, mid the swollen river and other natural forces gradually cut the chan¬ nel through which the spring how empties itself. The explanation was suggested by an inquiry from a young mau as to the uuturcot these sinks. WHAT IS A MORTGAGE ! Palatka(Fla.) News. A gontleiuan now residing in Palat ka, several) ears ago had occasion, in the ordinary transaction of business, to call on an eminent lawyer for the loan of a sum of money fora gentle¬ man, offering a mortgage on valuable property as collaternl for the same.— The lawyer had a deal of this kind of business on hand, and asked the young man: “Do you know what a mortgage is ?” “Yes,” replied the gentleman. “l>oyou realize its full significance?’’ “Well, I don’t know that I do.” What the lawyer said so impressed the young man that he wrote it down. 1 Here It is, and it is full of meaning ; “I’ll tell you,” said the lawyer, ** in the range of sound and profane liter¬ ature perhaps thcrcis nothing record¬ ed that has such staying properties.— A mortgage can be depended upon to stick closer than a brother. Day after day it is right there; nor docs the slightest tendency to slumber impair its vigor in the night. Night and day, on the Sabbath and at holiday times, without a moment’s time for rest or recreation, the biting offspring of its existence—interest—goes on. The sea¬ sons may change, days may run into weeks, weeks into months, to be swal¬ lowed up in the great maw of advanc¬ ing years, but that mortgage stands up with sleepless vigilance, with the interest of a perennial stream, cease¬ lessly running on. Like a huge night marc eating o..l the alec,, of some rest less slainberer, the unpaid mortgage rears up in its gaunt front in perpcl ual torment to the miserable wight who is held in its pitiless clutch. It , holds ,, the , poor victim ... ill the . relentless grasp of a giant. Not one hour of re¬ creation ; not one moment’s evasion of its hideous presence—a genial sav age of nullifying aspect while the in terest is paid, a very devil of hopeless destruction that payments fall.” The irentlcmau has treasured up the words of the great lawyer for years and they have been of incalculable benefit to him. They arc well worth pasting in any man’s hat, and all the readers of the News arc perfectly wcl come to clip this out and preserve it in any way they may sec fit. before A negro the has intcr-Slatc brought railroad a complaint j com¬ missioners that he was not allowed lo ruio in 1,10 whitc folks'car; and r ,nan burlesque this case has * brought a complaint that he was not a,,OWO(l 10 r,do 1,1 t,lc negroes’ car.
