The following article has been going the rounds of the Georgia papers, and so far as we have seen, it has not ltecn contradicted.

Mr. Blaine, the great aggressive, who it was thought would paint the country red after bis nomina tion, seems to have changed color and is now afflicted with ’lie blues. ' The Dougherty county Demo crats are talking of sending Henry Molntosh back to the legislature. They could not do better, fqr lie is a live man and will stand up for what he thinks is right. Ken llntler has given expression to his opinion of the Republican parly, anil now if the latter would retaliate and give its opinion ol Ben Butler, there would he some thing interesting in the papers for at least a fortnight. The Philbdelphia Times says: “The Republican National Com mittee has decided not to let Logan go on the wtump just now. It is probable lie will be held in alto gether. His month is rather too uncertain when in motion.” As to the labor problem, we 1 1 think it can be solved only by the | use of improved implements and the personal superintendence of! i the farmer.

A Dakota woman lias passed a prohibition law so far as her hus- liand is concerned. She says she will shoot the first man who sells or gives him a drink ol liquor, and the saloon keepers are so well con vinced of her earnestness—she Iras killed one of them—that they are letting Iter old man suffer from an extremely dry drought.
