Jack Stewart's many friends wilt ba glad to learn that after a sever* spoil of sickness h# is sble to be out on the afreet- again. j An eichange says: “Nobody knows where the dies go ’ Perhaps not, tint we know Whs re people tell them to go lo, though.

Some men’s thirst is *o hard to quench withbejr that they swallow ten glasses inside of an hour, whereas one pint of water will satisfy the pain,ordinary, every day thirst for eight or ten hour* at a time. The Prince Albert frock coat is hard to down, but it is eschewed, as a rule, by styl¬ ish dressers, except by elderly men or by young men on extremely formal occasions.

The following is the happy way the Alba¬ ny News is able to take leave of its council; “The electric light will he a bright record for the present administration of the city.

Clarke ha* appointed ex-Gov. H. D. McDaniel receiver of the 8avaunah, Griffin and North Alabama Rail¬ road. He has not yet announced his will¬ ingness to aocept the appointment, and probably will not do ao until the rase is passed upon by the Supreme Court. While there can be no serious objection to Gov, McDaniel, it is to be regretted that the ap¬ pointment was not given to a Newnan man. This is the most important point on the line, and if the management of the com. pany’s affairs were eutrusted to any one of half a dozen gentlemen whom we might name the receipts of the road would be largely incieased- On the other hand Gov. McDaniel is inexperienced in the practical details of railroading, and is so remotely located that it will be simply impossible for him to give the road that attention which the public has « right to expect, or that the company will demand. If Gov. McDaniel should decline the appointment we still hope it will fall to the lot of a Newnan man.’’ Griffin, as the terminus and principal builder of 8 ,0 &N. A. R. R , is the most important point on the line, and not Newnan. And right here is the man beat qualified and beet entitled to the receivership. What is required, as tbe Herald says, is a person of experience not only in railroad affairs but Iu all the features of this railroad; and who could betler conduct than he whose sagacity lius iu spite of every discouragement, plucked the road from the powerful hands of the Central? Col, W. E. H. Hcaroy is the gentleman who should have been ap¬ pointed reeeiver in the first instance, and if Gov. McDaniel does not accept, then lie should have it now. The Governor of Missouri Uab be come jealous of the attention given to outlawa;but he still continues to reco mend the famous Dr. Bulls Cough Syr up for coughs aud colds. The Southern Fall and Winter. W* have now au opportunity to enjov the beautiful, balmy weather ao common to ibis clime and season. The News wishes that ten thousand who sutler from the co d and bitter weather of the Northwest could be suddenly transported to this section and given th* opportunity of experiencing the delight* and beauties ox the Southern fall and winter There is no question but with greatly reduced rates to tbe South, the num her of winter tourists will constantly in¬ crease There are hundreds of thousands of people North who arc compelled to leave their homes and seek Southern sunbeams. Tbe experience of the past has been to em¬ phasize the fact that it is suicidal for any with predisposition to pulmonary diseases to remain in that inhospitable clime until death takes hold of them, hut that, to pre. serve their lives, they must come before the ravage of disease has made an inroad ou their health. This fact ha* tended to „end people here to preserve health rather than to reclaim what is lost, so the invalids are not such a large proportion of th* Northern visitors.

At one of the weekly religious gatherings held iu this oily last evening the pastor took for his then r “Roliert Elsinore." As the gentlemtm was not fenced by eee!csitica| barriers, there was no sweeping objurgation. but somewhat sympathetic criticism. This new theologicl romance by Mrs. Ward is being eagerly devoured by the pnblie, and causing a greater sensation in the ranges of religious thought thin any othsr recent pro duction. Some enthusiasts speak of it as an “Uncle Torn’s Cabin” projected against orthodox walls, rod there is a nervousness among the custedians of the churchiv dog. mas that is surprising in view of the many conflict* passed unscathed with heretical - if production giants.
