The arms of the Georgia militia will within • bio week, be taken from them and the companiea will be ineffective for any kind of defense. Orders sent out from the war department Indicate that this will de dvre for the purpose of srmiog the Georgia quota in the United States volunteers. Tbe officers of the mililia do not know what effect this will have on tbe companies, but many believe that it will causa the disbandment of tbe regiments and ihs complete disorgan ization of Ibe state’s defensive forces. It will require almost tbe entire lot of arms and equipments now held by the militia to furnish the 2,400 sol diers at Griffin. Many of the arms are defective and with these thrown out the remainder will be all tbe Georgia companies possess Acting Adjutant General Erwin is very much worried over the outlook and has been very energetic to get arms from tbs United States govern ment .'or tbe soldiers at Griffin. Yesterday Governor Atkinson re ceived a reply from Senator Clay stat* inglhat be bad secured an engagement with the secretary and would find out what could be done this morning.

NEW YORK LANDLORDS. Xwt Their Hoose. Remain Vacant While Demanding High Rentals. A newcomer who has been looking for a home nest large enough to accom modate ont of town furniture remarked today: “What’S the matter with rents in this town anyway? I see thousands of flats and offices tenantless, but as most of them are beyond my means I’m curious to know why the landlords don’t come down a peg or two and give a poor fellow a chance to locate within reasonable reach of his business.” And so are others. A friend of mine up in Harlem is one of three occupants of a flat bouse built for ten. The seven apart ments have been empty a year, but the agent refuses to lower tbe rent when any one of the three threatens to change his address, nor will he scale down tbe monthly figure in order to fill the va cant and profitless rooms. And this isn't a solitary case of this sort, by any means. Another real estate agent has been holding a row of fine flats for nearly three years because nobody feels like squandering SI,OOO on any one of them. If he had knocked off S3OO, he could have rented every one of them. Just why the metropolitan landlord prefers loss to gain is one of the secrets of the real estate business that outsid ers can only juggle with mentally. Another peculiar feature of the busi ness is the way in which the tenants who can put up a good bluff manage to enjoy all the comforts of an up to date homo without paying scarcely anything for the privilege. I know one man here who doesn’t pay over S2OO a year for a S6OO flat. He got behind in his rent, and then he jollied the janitor, who did the collecting. The janitor, in turn, smoothed down the landlord, and as a result the tenant got in deeper and deep er. Now he pays a month’s rent Onoe in a while and puts up such a bold front that he gets a receipt on his promises. In the same house is another tenant who pays a month, tut h* shuts up his apartments for two months every summer and goes seaward. He flatly re fuses to pay rent while doing the grand, and the landlord hasn’t as yet done a thing to him. Still another high flier puts up $76 a month for the pick of the premises. He’s in about four months now, bnt as yet care hasn’t carved any wrinkles on his broad brow. All of which leads to the conclusion that rents are high here in order to cover losses of the sort cited.—New York Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch. WORKS OF ART. Belford, Middlebrook & Co., of Chicago, are publishing weekly a series of beautiful portfolios, devoted to the AMERICAN NAV X AND CUBA. The illustrations are reproductions of photographs, with introduction and descriptive texts, show ing all the vessels of our navy, the MAINE, as she majestically rode the waves before her destruction, and all of her officers. CUBA, THE QUEEN OF THE AN TILLES, is illustrated in all its phases, from the captain general’s palace to the hovels of its starving wretches—shown as it is today, not as it will appear after Sampson’s fleet has bombarded it, that will come later. We have made exclusive arrangements with the publishers whereby we will fur nish our subscribers with these beautiful portfolios, containing 16 reproductions in each number, at 10 cents for each series. The regular subscription price is 50 cents, and those wishing them, who are not sub scribers to our paper, can secure them at that price. And they are well worth 50 cents. We have samples of these beautiful works of art and history in our office which we would be glad to show you and take your subscription for the entire series or as many parts as you wish.
