JOTIN PEEK announce him aa a suitable man to represent this County in the Constitutional Convention. tftgf” Georgia lias asylums for the the blind, deaf and dumb, also for luna tics. Would it not be a good idea while the Convention is turning things upside down, to make provision for a genteel establishment for entertaining and sup porting broken down superannuated politicians. S&~ It would be a good idea for the friends of the Augusta & Knoxville Railroad to give some big barbacuesand have speaking along the line through this upper section. There are men who have not had a square meal for twelve mouths, and under the influence of elo quent. speaking and a good dinner might be induced to take a million or so of stock, ychich would look well on paper. War f?ews Summary, Ardahan, a fortified town in Asia, lias been captured after a hard struggle by the Russians. 86 cannons and a Pasha were among the spoils. A portion of the garrison cut their way through the Russians and escaped. The comman der of the garrison will lie court mar tialed. The Turks admit a loss of 300 men killed and wounded. On the Dan ube, at Rahova, the Turks fired on a Russian steamer and set it on fire. The Sheik-ul-Islam, the head of the Moslem religion, has proclaimed a holy war on the Russians, and the Sultan has gone to the Danube to take command of the army in person. Rumors of English intervention are rife. This is about the gist of the war news, culled from an hundred conflicting and irrelevant dis patches. MiNCellltlieOllN lt<‘lllN. There arc now more oats made in Thomas County than in any other county in the United States. “ Insults,” says a modern philosopher, “ are like counterfeit money. We cannot hinder their being offered, but we are not compelled to take them.” The great question of the present is whether it is better to carry two pounds of dried apples or a bar of ten cent soap to the annual donation at the minister's house. It is now four years since the coffee plant was introduced into California, where it seems to be a success. It yields a bean of strong aromatic flavor, and grows as luxuriantly as in South America. The Georgia Grunge will hereafter be run under the general business and edito rial management of Col. E, Y. Clarke, formerly the co-proprietor and managing editor of the Atlanta Constitution. General Grant will occupy General Ha deau’s house while he is in London, but he insists upon paj’ing his own expenses —New York Tribune. There is nothing remarkable in the fact that General Grant will occupy General Adam Badeau's house, but the puplic will undoubtedly be astonished at the latter clause of the above paragraph. —Savannah News. We learn that Colonel Wadley, the Pres ident of the Central Railroad, has received the following letter from a gentleman liv ing on the line of the Atlanta division : “wmwadley sur Had a big smash up near my house last night and i want you to come here at once and bring G dollars with you to pay for my colt the colt nickened the engine did not see it got killed it was a male.” Judge Wright, in his charge to the grand jury nf Decatur county last Monday, said that he “could not believe there were any in Decatur county with instincts to low as to disturb public worship iu the house of God.” In defining a disturbance of pubile worship, tho Judge said, in substance, it was not necessary for a drunken man to ride a horse through a congregation, or to use boisterous and profane language, or to get up a row in order to disturb a meeting. While this was outrageous disturbance, yet anything calculated to distract attention — whispering, laughing, giggling, etc. —inten- tionally. was sufficient to warrant the jury in finding bills against any and all such of fenders. The following is a court scene in Colum bus : “ A day or two ago, while Judge Crawford was engaged in the investigation of a case, a tall jeans dressed man glided up to the Judge’s stand and in a deferen tial whispering tone asked: ‘ls this the Jedge ?’ Upon receiving a reply in the af firmative our country friend said : ‘ Well. Jedge, I has lost a favorite beast, and I cum to git you to ask the congregation if any of them had heard or seed her. She is a mighty nice bay filly. There is a heap of folks here, and 1 want you to ask the question now.” Scientific men in all ages have been puz zled to assign plausible reasons for the salt ishness of the sea-water. Two thirds of the globe may be said to be covered by the sea ; and therefore taking an average depth at 8.000 yards, and that this body of water contains 3J per centum of salt, we have consequently existing in the sea no less than 00,000,000.000,000 tons of salt. Were all this water to be dried up, then we should have n deposit of salt over the en tire bottom of the seas equal to 150 yards in thickness. Were it all taken from the sea ami spread equally over the whole sur face of the dry land, it would make a covering 000 feet in depth. The Crawfordsville Democrat says : “We are informed that some brute in human shape, m the neighborhood of Mr. Wm. G. Harris, in the 008th district, has lately made it a practice to cut out the tongues of cows. Three fine cows, one belonging to Mr. Romulus Frazier and two to Mr. Win. Harris, have been lately mutilated and killed in this manner. We are not in favor of mob law, but for a wretch like this, we are compelled to think a little wholesome hanging would would be a good thing.” “ Are we imbeciles?” asks the Warren ton Clipper. This is a conundrum which must he given up at once. AVe trust how ever, that the question is asked only as a sort of preface to a joke. —Atlanta Con stitution. The ages of the Southern Methodist Bishops are as follows : Bishop Payne, 77 years; Bishop Kavanaugh. 70 op Wightman, GO years ; Bishop Doggett, G 7 years ; Bishop Pierce, GO years ; Bishop 4t4Wior.~sG>>fttl Marvin, Bishop McTyeirc G,‘i VR4TR. _Argrage, 64 years, 7 months and 15 days. Upon reliable authority it is stated that General Grant, when lie gets to Europe, will don the uniform of a General of the army on state occasions. His recent utter ance about the dignity of a “sovereign” are thus made useful, as showing the sort of food oil which our Ctesar feeds. Calicoes are coming into favor as walk ing dresses, and they make a woman look sweeter than forty yards of silk and a bush el of lace.
