W. L. QLBIIIBR, Editor. FH1DA Y, JANUARY, 13th 1X> POSTMASTERS. When noi?s|Mi]icr«> urc not called for it io made ?:e duty of I'oatinasfcrs uuder tlac law to notify Hio proprietors of thin fac*. CauD, already print ed, are furnished on applicnt ion to the I’or tuia.de r, whose only duty nil! he to fill out with the name of the party not (retting the paper. It is saiil that hookings arc al ready secured by the agents of the different steamship lines for live hundred thousand emigrants. It is evident that the population is to lie largely increased next year. The Uuitcau trial has cost the government ahont two hundred thousand dollars. It is expensive fun, lint it tickles the vanity of the assassin and adonis daily amuse ment to the swell mob of Wash ington. The lunging of Uuitcau cannot be an immediate matter, as most people seem to think. Under the ia'V he cannot lie hanged until thirty clays after the opening of the next term of the court. This will not lie until the 4th of April, and there fore the date of U uitcau’s execution cannot possibly take place until the 4th of May. The high wind of Sunday night Inst blew down the gin house on the Shorter place, three miles above the city, smashing a gin to pieces, and breaking the gin gearing and machinery. Three bales of lint cotton were in the lint room and three hales of seed cotton and the crop seed ill the house were all buried in the wreck.—Eufavla Bulletin. A Pahtt Predicted, Mr. John W.

Flicker s AND THAT IS NOT THE REST OF IT, Mrs. M. T, Elam’s There are, says the I.ouisvillc Democrat, social and political tendencies in this country which arc leading to a rapid increase of divorces ami to the accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few very rich persons and a fabulous number of corporations. Certainly no one fails to see these untoward tend encies, and yet there is not visible any considerable alarm: no threat of revolution in sell'-dcfencc. The scramble to gratly the lust of the eye, the appetite of the llesli, a raging thirst for jwealtli, goes on ward at a whirling pace, and those who do not lose their heads and sere theircoiiseieiicc^cither sink in to despair or lift up unavailing warnings. Kvery spasmodic effort at “reform” takes the case by the ear or the strap of the bool. All previous novelties in powder magazine explosions use outdone by three Iowa lads who used the side of the Osktdoosa magazine as a target for rife practice, and when !>00 kegs blew up were shat tered to pieces. The damage to the city is very great, according to the latest accounts, most of its houses in its northern part being badly wrecked. It lurthcr appears that tin? three dead hoys were all of prominent families, one of them being the son of the Mayor. This part of Hie story is comprehensi ble. When the prominent men of a city allow ouch a quantity of powder to be stored in a wooden building close enough to make the total wrecking of a great part of the city the sure re sult of an expulsion, the prominent boys of the locality are likely to be still more reckless. Worm I’roofCotton. Mr. I.. C. White, of Jaspar, Jas per county, Texas, claims that af ter twenty years of study and ex periment lie lias fully succeeded in producing a worm-proof cotton. Not cr.ly is the plant worui-proof, but it produces, lie says, more and larger bolls to the stalk than any other cotton, matures earlier, and lias a bettor staple ami liner lint than any other cotton grown, lie wants the government to pay him a million dollars for the seed and ins theory. 1T his “double-hybrid" absolutely worm-proo! cotton is all lie claims it, he should Ih> able to make a million dollars selling the seed to planters much qiiickccthan lie is likely to get such a sum from the Department of Agriculture. will be a panic in this country in side of eighteen months. He says: !" “'Ip "Jm, 0 “There is not a business in this . country to-day that is not out of n ; joint. Thcjeost of production, labor S 6 0*132? 0X1 and materials is increasing and will increase, while the price of pro ducts stands still. No man can look ahead six months and with safety fix tlio price of any manu facturcs.” Mr. llookwalter says this is an unnatural and unhealthy slate of airairs, and lie declares that “we are surely traveling the circle Hint leads to periodical pan ics.” The houisvillu Courier takes a more hopeful and, we trust, ra tional view of the business pros pect. It says: “It may lie that there will lie a reaction toward low- cr prices as far as stocks are con cerned,and some of the purely spec ulative ones may entirely disap pear. There will probably also lie more difliculty in iloating worth less securities, and purely specula tive enterprises will have a hard time indeed but, that there isdanger of commercial revolution or of in dustrial stagnation there is no reason to believe. If the public would study a little more carefully the courses of the Huctuations, not in prices alone, hut in prosperity, the prophets of evil and the vision ary schemers would not liml it so easy to secure the followings.” JOHN M.

The nbsurd features of the tariff in one particular arc thus made plain by the American UegitUer: The duty on steel rails, now in such demand by the railroads of this country, furnishet a capital answer to the cormorants who arc howling for “protection to American indus try.” The tariff imposes a duty of twenty-eight dollar per ton on steel rails manufactured in lOurope, and this duty is prohibitory, few or none being imported. If their rails could ho imported, duty free, they could lie furnished to railrouds at thirty-two dollars per ton. Now if they are imported at all, they are sold at sixty dollars per ton, of which twenty-eight dollar gos into the Treasury of the United -States. The American manufacturer sells his rails at the same price, and as lie pays no duty, the twenty-eight dollars which the Government docs not get, goes into his pockets and thus increases the cost of rail roads. This is a good thing for the manufacturer but the swindle of the people is none the Ic-: . The buildings of the Internation al Colton Imposition at Oglethorpe park, were sold on the Dili at pri vate sale by the executive commit tee to K. I*, ltiei- and If. II. Itieli- ards, of Atlanta, for $‘25,000, cash. The sale is considered a good one, ami the purchasers will organize tt joint stock company at once to till the buildings with machinery lor the manufacture of cotton. The Storey of a Newspaper. Sonic papers are not of much ac count ns to appearance, but 1 never took one that tlitl not pay me, in some way, more than 1 paid for it. One lime an old friend started a little paper way down in -South western Georgia, and sent it to me, and 1 subscribed to it just to en courage him, anil after a awhile it published a notice that an adminis trator huil tut order to sell several lots at public outcry, and one of them was in my county. So I in quired about the lot, and wrote to my friend to mil it up to liily dollars. lie did so, and bid olf the lot at thirty dollars; and 1 sold it in a month, to a man it joined, for one hundred dollars, and so 1 made sixty-eight dollars clear be taking that paper. Aly father told me that when he was a young man t-e saw a n Jtiee in a paper that a school teacher was wanted away oil' in a distant county, and lie went there and got tin- situation, and a little girl was sent to him, and after awhile she grew up mighty sweet and pretty, and lie fell in love with her and married her. Now, if lie hadn't taken that paper, what do you reckon would Lave become of me? Wouldn’t 1 have been some other fellow, or may be not at all.
