THE TIMES-JOURNAL. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY R V 3 V fTOHI. E. H. CiMM. STOKES & CARNES, --at EASTMAN. GEORGIA ■Wh.n New Mexico comes into th. Union we shall have a State the majority of Whose inhabitants speak Spanish. The predominant language in the courts, schools and newspapers is Span¬ ish. This is a queer country. It has bean remarked by all travelers in foreign parts that more English is spoken on the European continent this year than ever before. The language that carries a bagful of dollars behind it Is the one that overcomes all others in the long run. The Osage tribe ot Indians is said to lie the richest nation in the world. They have in the United States Treasury $7,- 753,691, drawing 5 per cent, interest, and besides thi* they hold 1,470,000 acres of land, which is equal to 1009 acres apiece, Each Indian is estimate! to Ire worth $15, 171. Ths brave Helvetians, thu only exist¬ ing people who have made a success of Republican institutions in Europe, were not going to stand any nonsense from a country like Fraucc, which, says Frank Leslies, is never quite sure what kind ot government it will have to-morrow morning. So they have built an Eiffel Tower of their own, and, as it is sixty three me I res higher above the ievol of the sea than the one in tho Champ de Mars, Madame Par s is left very much behind. It is true that the Swiss tower, which is on the Eschenberg, a small elevation in the neighborhood of Win¬ terthur, is only 100 feet high, sinco tho Eschenberg is itself 595 metres above tho soa level, That is where these mountainous countries have the pull over the flat ones. Tho San Francisco Chronicle, in a re¬ cent issue, devotes several pages to an exhaustive article on the subject of irri¬ gation, taking for a text ilia work now being done by the arid-lands committee of the United Statos Senate. The Chronicle claims to have demonstrated that “it is entirely practicable for the government to make millions of acrei of land cultivable which are now only barren wastes.” The recent rush to Oklahoma and the possible repetition of grab methods when the great Sioux lauds are thrown open for settlement in the near future are, in the opinion of tho Chicago News, “reminders that the areas of really agricultural landi in the United Slates have their limits. The Senato arid-lands committee, in becom¬ ing familiar with tho cost and expo li ency of artificial irrigation in tho West, is not a single stop in ndvanca of the nation. There is much to he learned as to tho cheapest and best methods of re¬ deeming arid lands, but when the u cces. sity becomes ino re pressing than it is to¬ day the very highest scientific talent will be fraught to bear upon it.” The Commercial Conference held at Pan Francisco called upon the Fifty first Congress to establish additional navy yaids in the North Pacific coast, to put tho Mare Island yard in full working order, and *c erect <>d-qii a to defences on Puget Sound, Columbia River, Coos aud Yaquima Bays, aud Humboldt, Sin Francisco, San Pedro aud San Diego harbors. The Now York Sun considers that “this proper demand is likely to be satisfied. Indeed, pro¬ visions for a part of the programme are already made. A hoard of officers has already recommended a site on Puget Sound for a navy yard, in accordance W’ith an act passed by the last Congress, and its recommendation is almost sure to he followed. The Mare Island yard has received an outfit of ship building appliances, costing about $100,000, and will, no doubt, soon have an order for extensive work, possibly including the 7500-ton armored cruiser. Finally, the Pacific ports will presumably have their full share of the big 10-inch and 12 inch gun s,'the forgings for which have already been contracted for, while dy¬ namite guns will he in position at Pan Francisco next spring.” A dispatch from Rome states that the military authorities there have boon ex¬ perimenting very successful v with smo keless powder. This, according, to the Washington Star, is not the first test of the kind made by European governments. The inventor of the pow¬ der was a French general named I.ebel, and his government very promptly took it up, but kept tho secret of its manu¬ facture closely gua rded. A country chemist in Austria, one Falkenstein, made a journev to Paris on purpose to find ~ . out , , how _ the powder was made. m , d „ Ife could not get a specimen, but nap pening to possess himself of a few ploded cartridges, found enough there (,o ma . -e a , asis • o , P lerimen’ ’ ’ aud finally turned out a quantity of tfia ras terial, which he carried to the minister of war at Vienna. The minister sneered at the whole , , idea, ., on no . . g ........I then that he “could not picture to him self a battlefield without smoke.” Falk eastern then went to Berlin with his de vice, which Count von Moltke positive ly snapped at. It is estimated that the slaughter wrought by this powder on the field will be four hundred per cent - great'* than heretofore. If it is adopt ed t v.France, Italv and Germany, next general European war will have the clearest and c.eanest . , bat.iefields known to history. The latest statistics of the Pension Office sliow that on the 1st day of July the names of 489,725 months pensioners ben were the on the rolls.

They will be hanged on Decem¬ ber 23. It is a remarkable case in several particulars and the first on record where five men were tried for murder on the same indictment and convicted.

A special, on Tuesday, LaFayettc, to the Birming¬ ham Aje Herald, from Ala., records a crime in Tallap osa couuty that 1,as rarelv been surpassed iu its horrible details. It seems that while Albert Smith and his three oldest children had gone some miles to church, five negro men approached the house and aske l Mrs. Smith to give them something to eat, and being refused, they went into the house,and learning that there was no one at home but Mrs. Smith and her lit¬ tle babe, torced her into the yard and began ransacking the house. After ap prqpidating all that they could find in the way ol money and valuables, they set fire to the house, and added horror io the terrUle scene by forcing th: distracted woman to witness tho most brutal of fiendish deeds, which wag the tossing of her little baby in the air, and letting it fall back almost on the point of sharp knives which they held under it. The brutes finally went away, leavino the woman with ncthing to greet the return of the horror-stricken husb md and children but her half dead babe and a smouldering heap of coals.
