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.

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 after a abort resistance.—Pall Mali MagaMpt 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 . News. I To Care ConsUpattoa Forever.
