THE TIMES-JOURHAL PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY RY 1. V. STOCKS. K. M CA*KU. STOKES & CARNES, -AT EASTMAN, GEORGIA The Manufacture»' ficcord believes tba\ the whole country is “entering upon s great speculative period of advancing prices, when we will probably see th< most active times ever known in th< financial „ . , and , speculative , history . . of tue country. The South will take a very prominent part in these matters.” The latest European estimate of the ....•.....'t ;• ; h *‘ world s supply is 180,000,000 bushels short, and that the European crop this year is 222,000,000 bushels below the average. If these figures are correct there ought almost certainly to be a mar¬ ket for the w hole of our great surplus. The announcement that the United States contains more crematories than all the rest of the world does not mean that cremation in this country is superseding burial. There are only about fifty cre¬ matories extant, all told, of which the United States is saiil to have over thirty so that many years are likely to elapse before the gravedigger loses his oecupa tion. Canon Farrar’s visit to this country f. few years ago apparently impressed him pleasantly, since he has sent his son here to complete his education. The young man, who is said not to resemble the typical Englishman in appearance, will take a scientific course at Lehigh Univer¬ sity, and will afterward take his degree of civil engineer at the Rensselaer Poly¬ technic Institute of Troy, New York. Four Maudara natives are about to ap pear at the German Court as Ambassador! from their African Sultan, who are saic to be marvels of intelligence, and witk a moral standard extraordinarily high. Though they will dress in their own cos¬ tume, the etiquette of the German court cannot be foregone, and so the regulai dress coat will be worn over the African costume. The people of the United States lost millions of dollars yearly by the destruc¬ tion by fire of flimsily constructed build¬ ings. Moreover they pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars in the support of fire departments. Fire and Water states also that the value of the fire apparatus und the building devoted exclusively to purposes of fire protection amounts to the large sum of $38,644,755. The editor of the Popular Science Monthly, in considering the idea of co¬ operative management of all industries, remarks: “Society is becoming every day more closely knit iu the bonds of a common sympathy; the self-respect of the average man is daily increasing and pub opinion is becoming at onc-e more rational and more humane. What we have chiefly to contend with to-day is not the idleness or extravagance of a few, but a general lack of knowledge as to the best methods of social co-opera¬ tion.” Mr. Edmund Yates writes to the New York Tribune that French sentiment is now nearly entinct in Alsace. But in Lorraine everything is different; the people still detest the Germans iu theii heart and do everything in their powei to disconcert them. “Metz is as French a city as Orleans or Rouen, iu spite ol the desperate efforts of the German authorities to convert its inhabitants. Everything is stagnant there, and there are whole streets of empty houses, for all the French who were able to leave have gone, and the only Germans who settle there are officials, The officers of tlie army cannot help themselves. At a dinner not long ago, Wilkie Col¬ lins related instances proving how im¬ possible it was to introduce into a novel descriptions of places aud things wholly imaginary. In one of his works he de¬ scribed a house which he had never seen and which was entirely the offspring of his imagination. A few days after the publication a man called upon him to protest upon the introduction of his house into his novel. Strange to say the pages of the novel contained a perfect descrip¬ tion of the man's property. At another time he used as one of his characters a man who was so exact about his eating that he weighed every morsel that en¬ tered his stomach. Mr. Collins had in reality never heard of such a mau, H e was greatly suprised one week after the apjiearance of his bock by the visit of an utter stranger, who w ished to know by what right Mr. Collins made him ridicu lousrn . . print . by mentioning one of ,, his . pe culiarities. Professor N. S. Shaler, of Harvard, after a careful consideration of the much neglected condition of the common roads iu this country, makes the following sug¬ gestion in Scribner: “I would in the first place suggest that in the Federal Depart¬ ment of Agriculture there should be a commissioner of roads, having at his command sufficient means to prepare and print as public documents accounts of the condition of roadways in this country, with essays on the method of their con¬ struction. Ear;.*. State should likewise have a commissioner of public ways, whose duty should be to advance cduca tion iu this class of questions iu every possible mauuer. To him the town ami ,-t.uDty road ,'omniuion.r, .horfd be re quired to report. He should cause to In constructed a map showing the loeatio. and stlte condition of ail the roadn avs in the 8-tate. These These wavs ways he he should should dassifv cL if j •* a. regards their condition. Our country folk wallow in the mire of their ways, j>av excessive tolls, endure, iu a word, s grinding ...... taxatmn, generation .. after gen eration. without appreciating the bur den which rests upon them." p rum.i . , T * contemplating retirement from the " pulpit.
