It is one of the epochs, as 1 may say, in the nation’s on ward march toward political puri ty and perfection. I don’t know when I have noticed any stride In IheafTairsof 8tato whichsothoruugb- iy impressed me with its wisdom. Now that we are co-workcrc in the same department, I trust that you will not feel shy or backward in consulting me at any time relative to matters concerning Post Ollice Department aflairs.

It will bo necessary when ail tlie cotton machinery in placed in position the coining yeur, to ineica-e Augusta's population to put it ail in operation. The Home Cotton Factory is rapidly approaching completion, and in twenty days the hum of tho busy spindles will be heard in prof itable industry. Twenty-seven troupes are book ed to appear at Nevin Opera House in Borne, during the coming sea son, which opens ou next XX’cdnos- dny night. The first bale of the new cotton crop was received ut Borne on Sat urday, and sold at auction, bring ing twenty cents per pound. It was raised by Messrs. XV. O. llitch &, Bro., on tlie river,six miles from the’city. “Fence” or “no fence” is the is sue in Cherokee county, and the voters will pass upon the question on tlie 12th of September.

Tho route for tlie Athens nnd Madsion railroad was surveyed sev eral years ago, and it was then as. ccrtaincd that the road could he built/or $9,000 per mile. Tho dis tance from Athens to Madison is twenty-eight miles, and the calcu lations show that the road could lie built and equipped for $300,000. Colonel Candler says the lino from Athens to XVatkinsvillo, which is very rough, could bo graded for a broad gauge at $2,000 a mile. If this road is completed, a road to Eatonton, connecting witli tbe Cen tral and the Griflin and Madi son Railroad will be built. flow It XVas Done. -How do you manage." said a lady to her friend -'to appear so h”^>p^y and good natnred all the time?

Ulass Shingles. The most interesting and impor tant of modern and recent mechan ical devices or patents for building purposes is ; the “new thing” in louse-roofing and decorating— “glass shingles”—invented and pat ented by Messrs. Atturbury A Co., of Pittsburg, Pn.,thccharactorand merits or which arc practicaliv il lustrated' in a miniature “giass- shingic” roof, now exciting a con siderable degree of interest among architects and builders, at the oflico Jeremiah Quinlin A Bon, sole rep resentatives, No. 49 Dearbon street. XYhilc intrinsically neat and hand some, the new shingle is subject to any degree of coloring,any style of ornament, is of definite durability by tbe practically imperishable character of the material, is per fectly water light, is a non-fiond ac tor of beat abd electricity free from impairment by frost or wcotlier, The Eircct of Taffy. Hon. J. Proctor Knott is a de lightful raconteur. He lias a world of good stories and lie spins them in a way llmi bettors them. Sealed among a party of friends yester day he related one which isn’t among tlie worst: A number of years ago a parly of Kentuckians swooped down on New York city “a-seein’ of tlie siglits.” Several of them wore from Hie interior of llio state, and had never Ixjcii ns far cast before, while llio lender, a shrewd city citixen, glib of tongue, piloted the parly through ways that were queer ami tricks that wore equally so. They happened upon Mr. Knott at one of the hotels and claimed him lor their own. Ho wait the very man they were looking for. Every sight of the city had been seen ex cept A. T. Stewart, the merchant I prince. “XVouldn’i lie introduce them ?” Thu hero of Duluth pro- tested that Stewart knew nothing and cared less for a country con gressman like himself, and he had to decline. lie finally convinced tlie delegation that lie couldn’t ac company them, nnd they filed slowly out ot his room, alter ex pressing a determination to seek out and sec the elephant on their own hook. Later iu tbe evening Mr. Knott sat in a pnrquettc scat in Niblo’s Gargon, intently watching the show While gazing around at the strange laces that lined the seats and peer ed from the galleries he was start- odl by a bow from the most elegant box iu tlie tier. Another head, diiuly outlined against tho rich in terior, courtcsicd, and his embar rassment and curiosity became painful in its intensity. A third party nodded and smiled, nnd then only did he recognize his Ken tucky friends lolling around in tiic luxurious qunrters perfectly at ease. At .the head of the delega tion was A. T. Stewart himself, patronizing tlie nltcntives. “How did you manage it?”nsked tlie congressman of the lender next day. “hfasy enough. XYc deliberate ly walked into his privutc olllco after leaving you and introduced ourselves. We went on to say that we were from Kentucky, nnd had arrived in New York on an extensive pleasure trip, during which we expected to sec n ma jority of tlie great men America Imd produced.

T. Stewart. Tho oid gentleman was carried away with tlie lilicral supply of tally, and wheu wo left it was only on u con dition that we bhoiild return later in tho afternoon. We did so, and found nn elegant supper spread in his private office, after eating which we were whirled away in carriages to Niblo’s Garden, and led into tlie private box where you saw its.” bearded and blond-liaired in in. .He seemed defiant and tlie door-keeper checked him as lie at tempted. to enter. “I am an ex- senator,” said the man, but tho doorkeeper did not oven remember tlie name be gave nnd only passed him after grave misgivings. Ho was ex-scuator, ex-governor, ex-candi date lor viec.prcsident, B. Grata Brown. XVlicu ho entered the .chamber ho must liavo thought with Rip X’an XVinkle. “Are we soon forgot when wo are gone ?” for there was not a senator, with three exceptions, who knew him and two of these aero in tho sennto when ho nccamo a member of that body. These two were Anthony and Shorman, and one of tho others only his boyhood playmate, Sen ator X'est, knew Ids face. Mr. Brown stood liko one frightened against the gilded columns, and a looker-on would have thdugfat that ho was one of those frequent dif fident sightseers who go through tlie capital and who by accident stumbled into the senate chamber. At last the venerable Capt. Bassett, who entered tho service of the senate in Jackson’s day, saw Mr. Brown and oflercd tlie scat which Conkling once occupied and whtoh happened to be vacant, and Brown accepted it liositatingly. Ho has not beon in XVasbington bofore sinco lie quitted tho senato fifteen years ago. “Rough on liais.” Clears out rats, mice, roaches, flics, ants, bed-bugs, skunks, chip munks, gophers. 16c.

A deal and dumb man turned up in Nevada town and was .given twenty-five cents by the sympa thetic public. In tlie evening of tlie same day ho took two drinks ol whiskey, was made drunk there- oy, and surprised the population by speaking and hearing as acute- Iy ns anybody. Instead of mak ing a commotion aliout the miracu lous powers of Nevada whiskey the citizens who hud' contributed to thoafHiclcd man’s fund seized the deal and dumb individual and threw him into a disused well. He is there yet, and is deaf and dumb “for keeps” now Chicago News. A Small llreed or rigs. A English paper speaking of n breed of pigmy porkers, threo sows and a boar from Ncpniil, on exhibi tion at tho Zoologloal Garden, London, says: This species is so rare that since lloiison described these animals, fifty years ago, there has not bocu a single specimen attainable In Eu rope, and even tlie museums haye been unable to get more than a single skin. They are vory small in size, scarcely bigger than a large wild rabbit, or probably a hotter idea of their size may be formed by giving their weight at seven or olght pounds each. Thoynre vory active on their legs, running very swiftly, and they are vory shy. Their skins are well covered witli short,reddish-brown hair, or rather bristles; they are very clean feed ers, and also vory cleanly in their habits. Their flesh Is esteemed very good for eating, nnd thus theso ini crest ing little poroincs aro natu rally tho subjects of other contem plations than their zoological rari ty. If they can be bred in the gardens, tho society will find profit able results repay tho price given for them, jjy disposing of the first oilspring toother menageries; : and tho acclimatization of tho subse quent progeny would scorn to bo well worthy of attempt, as they might be kept seemingly without offensiveness In the yards and gar dens of domestio houses, and bo fed upon potato paring, vegetables and debris ot feed. They are vory fond of rice, and will cat small por tions of meat; but they will not touch tho wash or greasy matters ‘ins commonly given to ordinary pigs.
