What for? ■B.J— > 1— “ Whether the North likes it or not, the fact ennom be denied that cotton manufactories are moving southward at a rapid rate. It’s as natural for this to be as it is for waler to flow down hill.—Albany Herald. Senator Hoar ha* introduced a bill in the senate to change inauguration day from the 4th of March to the 30lh of April. It will be remembered that Washington’* flrat inauguration oc curred in New York on the 30th of April. The change should be made. Tbe pension commissioner should be ordered to prepare the list* cf every county in the union and have them published in some newspaper in the county. In thia way the people would know to whom their money if paid, many a fraudulent name would be stricken from the rolls and many a would-be pensioner would be deterred from making application. Tbe latest solution fur the marrying of old pensioners to young women comes from Mrs. Myrick of the Ameri cus Times-Recorder, who asks: “How would it do to inaugurate the old Hindoo suttee custom and burn the iz ” young widows of old Union veterans on a funeral pyre with their deceased husbands instead of pensioning them? That would be a poser for pension hunting girls end put a slop to their marrying aged veterans.” It is not surprising that Gen. Cassius M Clay’s attempt to wipe out tho dis parity between age and youth, educa tion and ignorance, refinement and coarseness, in his marriage with tbe "little peasant girl” should prove a lamentable failure. The indications are that not ouly will the effort end in a failure, but in a tragedy. The child whom the old man married was not bis equal in anything. After living with him a while, she got tired of the life for which she was not fitted by ancestry or education, and left Gen. Olay’s society to return to her own Igvel. Tbe incident goes to show that refinement by the hot-house process is nut a good plan, and to illustrate tbe old saw that there is no fool like an old fool. A new and very commendable in stitution is being projected by the philanthropic women of Atlanta This is to be a borne for poor girls, which, however, is to come after and depend upon the organization in the spring of a Young Woman’s Christian Associa tion. A federation of state organiza tions is now in progress, which will comprise all the Gulf stales. This organization is sending out a young lady, Miss Laura E. Deazelle, to visit tbe different colleges for the purpose of organizing Young Woman’s Christ ian associations in them. In Georgia she has already started the movement at Wesleyan, Lucy Cobb, LaGrange and elsewhere. She was in Atlanta a few weeks ago and will return to assist in organizing an association there. When tbis society is fully started its first object, as before stated, will be tbe construction of a home for work-, ing girls, where they can board for $l6O to $2 or $3 a month, according I to tbeir financial ability.

B Wm ewre Proof Again** *»•« Inroad* of Onta.alrn. “There isn’t a more faithful being on earth, ’’ said a Georgia business man to a reporter, “than one of our Georgia darkies. Neither U there one more nu perstitious, nor vet again •• there one who loves netrer the products <4 tbe ben codp. And Cartersville isn’t any dif ferent from any one of a hundred south ern town*. When I was down there some time ago, a customer of mine who bad a fancy for chickens and who had always had more or Icm trouble in maintaining ownership of them told me be had a remedy and asked me to go around with him and see it. I wanted him to tell mo what it was, but he in sisted on my seeing it first, io I went along with him. and in a few minutes Was standing In his back yard before what was to me the oddest chicken ooop I ever saw. It was constructed of large timbers and there were a dozen places in its Avails where a hand could be run in and everything cleaned out within reach. Then there was no fas tening on tbe door, nor was there any kind of protection to the fowls. I couldn’t understand how such .an in viting snap could be of any use to the owner and said as much. “ ‘The charm is in the timber,’ said he. “ ‘No, ’ said I. “ ‘Fact, just the same,’ said he. ‘You don’t see it on the outside and you don’t know it, but the darkies around here do, and they Won’t, come within 100 yards of that ooop if they can help it. I don’t care how full of chickens it is. ’Gause why? It is built of the timbers of a gallows on which a man was hung about three months ago in another coun ty. It cost me something extra to get it, but it has more than paid for itself since I have had it, and I am in the market now to buy all the secondhand scaffolds in Georgia. If you run across a sheriff any place with one for sale, let me know by next mail, won’t you, please?’ “It was a true bill,” concluded the traveling man, “for I saw a darky tried on it, and he refused a big silver dollar to go down to tho coop to get a chicken for breakfast.”—Washington Star. . V TEAS AND TEAS.* Thing* Once Viced or Now Used an Substi tute* For the Chinese Herb. Os course every one knows that we drink a good deal that isn’t tea when we drink a cup of tea. We drink—or are supposed to drink—some tea, some lead and some straw. But there are sev eral “teas” that the drinkers know are not made of tea leaves and yet are not adulterated. In Peru they drink mate, a tea made from tho Ilex paraguensis, a species of holly. This is the only mate tea, but there ds a Brazilian tea, gorgonba, call ed mate there; another tea used in Aus tria, called Brazilian tea, and several other so called mate teas are made from different varieties of the ilex. In Lab rador they make a tea from two species of ledum. Oswego tea was made from tbe scarlet mouarda, and mountain tea from the dwarf evergreen, Gaultheria procumbcns. Then clover tea and tansy tea and catnip tea and mint tea are used, though not as beverages. In Sumatra they use coffee leaves to make tea out of, and tbe beverage is said to be very refreshing. In Mauritius the leaves of an orchid, Angroecum fragrans, are used. The Touquinese have teas of their own, made of leaves, berries, barks and woods. The Abys slnians make tea out of tho loaves of the Catha edulis. When a sentinel can’t leave his post to get a cup of tea, ho can chew a leaf or two of this plant, and he won’t feel like going to sleep all night. In Tasmania there are said to be more than 200 substitutes for tea; in England they used to make a tea of sage, betony or rosemary and of rasp berry leaves; in France they use black currant leaves and borage to make tea, and a century or so ago they gathered in English gardens and fields ash, elder and sloe leaves, and the leaves of white thorn and blackthorn, out of which to make tea. So it is evident that there are teas and teas. —New York Sun. Animal*’ Fright Is Short. A question that has often been asked is, How long does fright last in a wild creature? The close observer will be surprised at its brief duration. They are not subject to “nerves” like human beings. A partridge after running (or rather flying) the gantlet of half a dozen guns—if we may be allowed a mixed metaphor—drops on the other side of a hedge and begins calmly to peck as if nothing had happened. You would think a rabbit after hearing a charge of shot whistling about its haunches and just managing to escape from a yelp ing spaniel would keep indoors for a week, but out it pops quite merrily as soon as the coast is clear. A fox pur sued by hounds has been known to halt and kill a fowl in its flight, though we may assume that his enemies were not close to Reynard at the time. Wo have been led into thinking about the matter by noting what took place at a cover after being shot j^rer.—Pall Mall Ga zette. Drying Clothe*. The drying of clothes in treaty weather is sometimes, in the case of delicate fabrics, attended with tearing because of the quick stiffening in the very cold air. A simple precaution which will prevent any such trouble is to dissolve three or four handfuls of coarse salt in the last rinsing water, thus making it, in fact, a weak brine. Articles so rinsed will not suffer from or stiffen with the cold. The cheeks become pale from fear be cause the mental emotion diminishes the action of the heart and lungs and so impedes the circulation. About 45,000 sovereigns passover the Bank of England counters every day. ■ * *■ _ A number of medical student* play*, cd a gre«*ome joke last week and a* a result tbe victim i* ill with ner»oo* prostration, and the jokers are await ing expulsion from college, iay* lhe Philadelphia Record. The scene fl the juke was the fraternity house in which the tormentor and bis tormen tors roomed. The whole plot was the outcome of an unpleasant habit of the victim’* which lead* him to get beau tifully drunk about three time* a week. On these occasion* life was made un bearable to hi* roommale The ineb Hate would insist on pinching hi* bed fallow and mauling him about the bed every few minutes. Finally the long suffering map threatened to leave if ths nuieance wasn’t stopped, and a* he is popular bis pals thought out a plan that they felt would have the desired effect. After much scheming a cada ver was stolen from tbe dissecting room and placed in the tippler’* bed on one of his “off’’ night*. About 1 o’clock home he reeled, singing college songs, aad after disrobing fell into bed, while the jokers, concealed near by, expectantly waited. Instead of discovering at once, as the jokers ex pected, tbe victim simply tossed about in his usual fashion and finally went to sleep. He awoke next morning and diecovered the thing lying beeide him. It gave him such a shock that he is still in the hospital. Eat Plenty of Lemons. An experienced and highly respected physician gave a valuable hint the other day, which all may find valuable. "I am convinced,” said he, “not only from prac tical personal experience, but on the theo retically scientific grounds also, that a safeguard against much prevalent summer illness lies in the free use of lemon juice.” —Athens Banner-Watchman.
