It's a c*se of the bottom rail getting on top in Cuba, and that some trouble will follow this radical change is but to be expected. The director of the mint says that the United States now holds more gold than has ever been possess ed by any other nation in the history of the world. The amoant is $910,- 000,000. That will be a dramatic and historic scene at noon next Sunday when Spain's last yellow flag in North America is pulled down from Morro Castle and the stare and stripes run up Georgia cotton mills now consume about 25 per cent, of the total crop of state. When we have mills enough to take the entire crop and the farmers have learned the lesson of living al home, then indeed will Georgia realize wbpt genuine prosperity is. Sparta Ishmaelite: Governor Cand ler had the courage to recommend the only course by which state expendi tures oan be brought within the com pass of state revenues It is to bo regretted that the legislature should not have the courage to carry out his recommendations. Statesmen are few and far between in the general assem bly. The insurance men are now after Gov. Candler. Georgia carries about 1800,000 insurance on its property scattered over the state. The annual premium on thio amount of insurance would be about SB,OOO, if it was paid by the year, but by paying two pre miums iu advance, the state gets its properly protected from Are for three years. Most of the policies will soon expire. There is, therefore, quite a contest for the business. The agent’s commission at 15 per cent, would be $2,400. It has been suggested to the Governor that it would be the right thing to divide the insurance between the sixty companies doing business in Georgia. This would give the agents small conjunesions, S4O a piece, but some of them prefer to play lor the whole stake or a large part of it. Gov- Candler has the matter under consid eration. When new Americans arrive in Paris, says a French lady writer, their names, American residence and Paris ian addresses are at once published. Particulars are easily obtainable at the banking bouses, where newcom er's generally report themselves at once, aud are invaluable to the class of people who make a specialty of be ing attentive lor a consideration to wealthy and socially ambitious strang ers. Interpreters and guides flock to the recent arrivals, proffer their ser vices, and, if engaged, learn every thing possible concerning their em ployer's circumstances, home standing and society aspirations. Where there is a daughter ambitious to own a title, a wide field of operations are entered upon. There are crowds of impover ished scions of noble families who are only too willing to barter position for wealth, and one of these being selected as eligible, he is obliged to sign a reg ular contract, specifying exactly how much of bis prospective wife’s fortune he will pay to the Paris matchmaker in the event of his marriage to her "dear young American friend.” Sometimes, where there is a dowry, the amount is paid down, and again it is paid so much by the month, so that there are many American girls who, quite unconsciously, have literally paid for their husbands on the install-J ment plan.

If a pin be placed at Denver on the map, and another at Stockton, Cal., and a string be drawn from one to the other, on air line will be marked pass ing through the heart of a wonderful gold territory. Slightly to the north of Denver in Central City, and southwest of that city is Cripple Creek. About 80 miles to the north of the string Lead ville will be found. In the southwest corner of Coloradoyin appear Tellu ride, Hico and other? points where gold is mined. Marysvale, In Utah, almost due south of Saif Lake City, will ap pear to the soutbof the string. Fifty miles to the nod,th of it, near the line between Utah arid Nevada, will appear Osceola. DeepJCreok lies north of Osce ola and—ott -fne southern edge of the great desert west of Salt lake. Detroit and several other rich gold camps are almost due east of Osceola. Pioche lies 100 miles south of ''.the string, aud the wonderfully rich gold territory of the Monkey Wrench district lies southwest of Pioche. Now, north and south of the string will appear dotted on the map of Neva da the gold camps of Grant, Freiburg, Reveille, Kawioh Valley, San Antonio, Gold Peak, Hot Springs, Belleville, Candelara and numerous others. Al most under the string, in California we find Bodie, and to the north of it Mar kleville and other points—kH-orthe eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains. On the western slope of the great sierras the string will be almost on the Utica mine, which is located be tween San Andreas and Sonora. North and south of the Utioa mine are hun dreds of rich gold mines in profitable operation. The distance froin Denver to StocK ton is about 1,200 miles. On no portion of the habitable globe is there a region so continuously and enormously rich in gold as the territory described, and yet, notwithstanding this fact, the progress ive Yankee has scarcely made a start in opening and developing these riches, Which have been entombed for millions of years, and which will remain so sepulohered until we awaken to an ap preciation of the fact that the states of Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California bear within their bosoms more wealth than ever was dreamed of by Croesus.—- Forum. DECAPITATION. Life Said to Remain Long After the Head la Severed. “The executions in Paris during re cent years have revived the old question whether death instantaneously follows upon the severance of the head from the body,’’ says the Massachusetts Med ical Journal. ‘‘Dr. Cinel asserts that decapitation dees not immediately affect the brain. He says that the blood which flows after decapitation comes from the large vessels of the neck, and there is hardly any call upon the circulation of the cranium. The brain remains intact, nourishing itself with the blood retained by the pressure of the air. “When the blood remaining in the head at the moment of separation is ex hausted, there commences a state, not of death, but of inertia, which lasts up to the moment when the organ, no longer fed, ceases to exist. Dr. Cinel estimatee that the brain finds nourish ment in the residuary blood for about an hour after decapitation. The period of inertia would last for about two hours, he thinks, and absolute death would not ensue till after the space of three hours altogether. “If, he adds, a bodiless head indicates by no movement the horrors of its situ ation, it is because it is physically im possible that it should do so, all the nerves—which serve for the transmis sion of orders from the brain to the trunk being severed; but there remains the nerves of hearing, of smell and sight, and he concludes that the guillotine does not cause instant death. If this be true, could any other form of death be more merciless?” An Elizabethan Letter. I have sent the a letle provision agen this time, but I cold wish it were much beter.

It is well known that the paper used today in the manufacture of books is not durable. It is now possible to roll aluminium into sheets four-thousandths of an inch in thickness, in which form it weighs less than paper. By the adoption of suitable machinery these sheets can be made even thinner still and can be need for book and writing paper. The metal will not oxidize, is practically fire and water proof, and is indestructible by Vie jaws of worms. Bamboo grows very thriftily in Cali fornia bottom lands, and is found to be a very useful plant. The seed of many species resembles rice, and is almost as valuable for feed. The stock may be used in the building of bridges, fences and barns and in the manufacture of water pipes, furniture and boxes.

A Scheme to Give Every Man a Farm, by a Person Who is Land Poor. Mb. Editob : Some years ago I took an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to*get rid of it: I will say,in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best for cotton, ocffn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost me over $3,000 to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying altogether, about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 to another, according to his ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a hat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fair chance to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing their m.iney, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost. The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to market gardening, and for northern people who know how to work, it offers a fine opportunity for a cclony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best of pastures> / water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and t pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best ■ place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed ’ itor of the Call will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say. I have also a farm of 50 acres near Barnesville for sale, on good terms. 8. B. BURR, Sb, Barnesville, Ga. Everybody Says Sc.
