Lemons for Insomnia
From tbe Ashville Chronicle.
The Rev. T. 8. Brown, the pastor of the
Lutheran church of this city, is running
opposition to Bishop Lyman on insomnia
cum. Mr. Brown yesterday told a Chron
icle reporter that lemon juice, diluted and
taken just before retiring, will almost cer
tainly produce sound and refreshingsleep.
Mr. Brown also said that he had learned
from an eminent physician that if diluted
lemon juice were drunk after a heavy dose
of quinine, it would prevent latter's caus
ing buzzing in the head.

The following night, M Gurkhas

troops under Lieutenant Manner*
Smith, an expert cragsman, hid at the
foot of the golly and remained ahivering
there for boon, until at early dawn
the remainder of the force diverted the
enemy’s attention by a continuous fire.
Followed by his SO Gurkhas, Man
ners-Smith commenced the perilous as
cent, and behind them came Taylor and
bis Dogras, with the mortifying result
that after two hours’ climbing the gully
was found to be blocked. Steps were
retraced to where the gully forked, and
there he again led upward in such
manner that had one of the leaders
missed his hold most of the party
might have been swept away.
This time they were right, and the
leaders were within 60 yards of the first
sangar before being perceived. Ths
alarm being given, the interchange of
shots at onco ceased, and all attention
was directed to the daring climbers.
Bocks and showers of stones were pour
ed down, but the little band had passed
the most exposed points, and only a
few were destroyed. Calmly they swung
themselves up from rock to rook until
at length the pluckly subaltern and a
few of his men were seen to storm the
first sangar, the defendants scattering

Atkinson and the State Troops.
No, it is not true that the Georgia
troops have mutinied, nor ia it likely
that they will ever do so, but it is
enough to discourage the volunteer
militia of this state to be completely
disorganised and joggled with as Gov
etnor Atkinson has done.
To begin with, he was prompt to
put himself in the role of Great-I-Am,
and even before war bad been de
clared, served notice tbst he would
take advantage of his nominal posi
tion a. commander io chief to lead
Georgia's troops to the front and try
to make a little political capital out of
the affair with Spain.
Next be called a meeting of com
manders, and when they met io At
lanta yesterday he sprung hie cut and*
dried plans on them. Military cour
tesy and gentlemanly instinct, of
course, prevented any serious objeo
tion on tbeir part, so Governor Atkin
son is to be allowed to have it all his
own way. And this is hie way:
He proposes to take a very small
part of the slate militia and to raise
the remaining men necessary to com
plete Georgia’s quota, by enlisting raw
recruits.
Thus Georgia's efforts to create*
competent and well drilled body of
militia are to go for naught. —
He saidtbat it would be impossible
to take any of the regiments entire,
and that be could not afford to show
partiality when all wanted to go.
He showed the commanders that all
of them could not go to war, and he
argued earnestly that the state should
maintain a large force for domestic
defense.
The situation was one where none of
the commanders could force 'himself
out as a leader of the volunteers, and
thjy finally agreed to the governor**
plan to recruit the major portion of
the state’s quota from raw men, and
not fiom the regularly organized state
militia.
Thus he completely ignores the old
est and most experienced commanders
of tbe state, and completely revenue
the regular order of things.
In this and other ways Governor
Atkinson has even brought tbe state
militia under bis sway, to be used by
him aa a mere puppet for tbe futber»
ance of his own political or personal
ends.
No, the Georgia troops will not mu
tiny, but Governor Atkinson’s high
handed interference is enough to canse
tbe last one of them to resign at once.
Not only resign, but refuse to re-enliat
until Georgia has a governor in whom
they can have confidence and for
whoa* they can have respect.—Macon .
