A MAHER OF GOOD FA1IH, We preeent thie morning aD im port&nt article taken from the editor ial columns of the Columbus Eoqair er Sun, advocating the extension of the Georgia Midland railroad to Athens, which we heartily endorse. Athena waa the original terminus of the road, and there it was to meet the Richmond and DaDvilleand bare a short line to Washington and the East After the building of the Georgia Midland, however, the Rich mond Terminal Company became so intimately connected with the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Company that it was thought just aa well to atop at McDonough. Bat now another road is being built to Athens with which it will be exeted ingly desirable to make connection. This is the Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad, an extension of the Seaboard and Roanoke railroad, and by it the distance to Norfolk. Philadelphia, Now York and the East will be shortened by eighty two miles, besides the distance gained by the new route between here and Athens. Morever, this will render Griffin still more independent of the Central and enhance the value of our Georgia Midland stock. The Enquirer Sun concludes by saying, “The country along the line, which is rich and densely populated, would assist liberally.” We believe it would, and wc hope it would pay its subscription* after the road was built; m»t we must confess that the Georgia Midland authorities have no particular reason for such hope. Right here comes the main obstacle and the chief discouragement to this extension, in the fact that msoy peo pie in the section where the road is already built art fighting against paying the subscriptions wbieh induced the road to come by their places. The value of tbesr property has been enhanced and they have obtained all the bene fits that they coaid expect in the time that the Georgs* Midland has been runniDR, C*t grounds yet fer they not are paying seeking for techni these j • benefits. Is this the course to encourage railroads now? Let tb© notes be paid and the ■ Georgia Midland be left to extend its road and increase its usefulness.

It is the more bewildering to the beholder, because there are in it one- mindednen and oaebesrtedness that make melody and gayety not only with the well conditioned, but as truly within the grimy walk of the charcoal man's little stall, down at the waterside among the swarthy boleros; ova there in Reg la with the toil scourged stevedores and lane her o#, up Balquarte, way among the labor bent Lavenders®, and in every odd and moldy comer where human life last* in layers, it lights up all with a face u free of care as if ever unknown. AH thk comes to you, and you know the fact. You leave those who like to quar¬ rel over the involved ethics. But all this time, when an entire great city has sud¬ denly resolved itself into a vast pleasure garden, so completely that its influence seems even to have touched and trans¬ formed. without exception, the direst conditions, the gayer and more restless elements swarm the passe* and plazas, and no European city present* more bril- liani scene*. But in this one city of the wsrld, this single rich blossom of the tropics, all its people, in these hours, are pleasure givers and pleasure receivers, and that, too. whatever the individual condition. There is none so high and haughty, or low and listkaa, as to think, or dare, refusal of this individual conces¬ sion, or gift of word and way, to this universal something we would be quick to call among our good selves true evi¬ dence of true lightheartedness and joy. I do not believe the world has elsewhere such a condition and study. In these nightly carnivals fully 10.000 equipages, filled with richly attired and merry occupants, may be seen. During the early evening the favorite drive is along Calle Ancha del Norte, by the sea. Later the Calxado de 1a Reina and the Paaeo del Tacoo are seug't. As night advances the great center of brilliant life and luxurious activity is in the vicinity of the larger city parks, to which the paseoa an i the Prado lead, where military bands discourse the lively or sensuous aire of Spain. Here hosts of pedestrians; but, instead of rudeness and clam r usual in such con¬ courses in other cities, every of the locality only intensifies the every¬ where manifest chivalrous courtesy and charming consideration that so tinguish them. It is as though were a mammoth reception of the est of men and women. Indeed, it is groat outdoor parlor of a great city, where every city is a noble guest. the pauses of the music promenading continuous. It would not then be mon for you to see at one time, and the one place on the globe where that possible, 10,000 women of beauty, of wonderful winsomeness marvelous grace. It is not until time after midnight that the crowds to diminish; for at some hour of evening every gentleman and senora and aenonta in the city makes it social obligation or pleasure to lie present.
