HrscoxACo, B, GRIFFIN GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 29 1888 The Worst lllock In New York . It is the block called “the bend,” in Mulberry street. Four-thousand prison¬ ers have been dragged out of this one block in the last two years. Four hun¬ dred arrests have been made there in one night. It is here that the crowds on the sidewalks in the daytime are so dense that no one but a policeman can make his way through there without difficulty. No one begrudges the police this distinc¬ tion, I may add. Here each side of the Street, with its tall tenements, is duplicat¬ ed by a rear row of equally big hives, so hat it is two streets, in reality, instead one. Some cities that think them¬ selves important have no more popula¬ tion than this block. The bulk of the people are Italians. They sleep in the rooms, a score or more together—men, women and children—heaped m like cord wood. Those who are not Italians are the foulest wrecks that rum can make—men and women tottering on the verge of tlio abyss, at the bottom of which is the madhouse and the morgue. “The bend” has often been described and often will be. It is the sardine box, the rat hole, the human sewer of the me¬ tropolis.—Buffalo Express. Toads Imported from Austria. In most districts of Great Britain toads are moderately numerous; more numer¬ ous, indeed, than might be imagined, for they are not animals that court publicity. In the face of this it is rather surprising to hear that toads are now being im¬ ported into this country from Austria. They are packed in wooden boxes filled with moss, and on their arrival fetch as much as from $15 to $30 per 100. Toads have long been an article of com¬ merce here; in most well ordered gar¬ dens the visitor will occasionally be startled by a quaint apparition on the pathway, puffing like an asthmatic old gentleman, and the suburban market gardeners and nurserymen very fre¬ quently have (’’em in their frames and greenhouses and about their grounds. But until recently our horticulturists have been satisfied with the exertions of the native toads in ridding them of their slugs, grubs and noxious insects. It is possible that the Austrian toad may bo larger and more voracious than ours, and this may explain the fact of its importa fion.—London Globe? -•—•- Religions Notice.

THE PACIFIC STATES WILL SUP¬ PORT SO MAN W HO DOES NOT OPPOSE HIM, Which la Not Encouraging New* f'Ldidates John Sherman and Ben Harrison. Washington, Feb. 28.—[Special.] If the Republicans in Washington from the State of California know anything about the political condi tion of things at home, there are two promintnt pentlemen frequently men t ion eel an Presidential candidates who ( may ns well call in their boom, if they expect (he Pacific Slope States to aid in their election. Tbe names of these gentlemen are Senator John Sherman and tx-Senalor Benjamin Ha»rison. A look through the Con gressional Record to day disclosed the fact that in the first session of the Forty seventh Congress. April 2o, 1882, Sbermau and Harrison both voted against the passage of the Chinese restriction bill. They not only voted against this impor tant meusure bo seriously affecting the inteiestn of the people of the Pacific States, but they voted against all tbe amendments to make the bill safe and strict in the prevention of Chinese immigration. A leading Re publican member of tbe House from California told the Courier Journal correspondent to day, that if either Sherman or Harrison should be nominated for President, they would lose California by from fifteen to twenty thousand majority. “There is no use of talking,“ said he, “our people will not vote for a man who has not a straight record against Cbi nese immigration. 4 * Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, is credited with Presidential SBpira tions, and the Pottsville Chronicle claims (hat he is laying his plans to turn up at Chicago as the dark horse. Gov.

It Would be a Stepping Stone to the Presidency In 1892, Washington, Ftb. 28. —Col. Wm R. Morrison is now regarded among well informed Deroocms as the man most likely to be given second place on tbe ticket with Cleveland, No man in the country could better stand with Cleveland on the tariff reform platform wuich will be adop ted at S. Louie- Besides his tariff reform record, Mr. Morrison has a fine military history uud great per gooai popularity in the West. His district is right across the river frem St. Louis—in fact, East St. Louis iB part of it. He has more friends in St. Lonis than in any otb er city. He will probably be renominated for Congress just before tbe conven tion meets. Col. Morrison is not a candidate for the Vice 1 -Presidency, but his friends believe that they would advise him to take it as a stepping stone to tbe Presidency n 1892. They feel that inasmuch as Cleveland's election would be iusur ed by Mr. Morrison's nomination, tbe Democratic party would natn rally turn to him next time, even if be were not tbe very representative of tariff reform Hood’s Sarsaparilla is peeoliar to itself aud superior to all other preporatk us in stren*tbi economy, and medicinal merit.

Huguemn, one of Macon's most enterprising citizens, has en tered largely into tbe pecan industry. On Monday he will leave for bis plantation in Leecoanty. to euperiu tend the planting of about 75 acres in pecans. He first expected to set out tbe trees, but beiDg dKappoint ed in receiving them, ben.M plant tbe nnt itself. The expense of plant ing and reaping will I <bt. He obtained most of h ' pecans from Texas at $1.CU It will take sevetal busLels to plant tbe area intended. When planted from the nni, tbe trees bear from 5 to 10 yean after plant.ng. Tbe trees grow about 40 feet apart, 25 to tbe acre. They bear about 100 lbs. to 'he acre, on an average. Tbe nuts will sell from 20c to 60' per lb., according to sweetness and quality- Granting that tbe trees ODiy gow 60 lbs each, a low estimate, that would make the yield per acre 1,250 pounds, which if sold at 20c, the minimum price, would realize $250 per acre. But $300 cau very readily be expected per acre. That beats raising cotton, we think- But then, if desired, cotton can be raised on the same land where tbe pecans grow, as the bills or trees are forty feet apart. There are more than 60 varieties of pecans. Mr. Hnguenin will plant his pe cans on land lying along the Coium bus Southern road, and thus be eu sily handled for shipment. i *AKlN c POWDER Absolutely Pure. Tbit Powdi > -lever varies.
