How terribly shocking is the an
nouncement that- Mrs. Bolva Lock-
wood is as bald headed as a bass
dram.
An artesian well with a fine flow
of witter baa been secured at Jack
sonville, Florida, at a depth of 350
feet.
Some of tbe Tennessee Republi

throughout the State of New York
are solid for Cleveland.
Hardly have the leaves begun to
tum, and there is scarcely chill
enough in the sir to breed a dream
of winter, and yet the southern
pilgrimage bas begun, tbe steamers
from Boston and New York having
large paesenger lists. What a
restless people we arc, to be sure.
To show the value of grass pas
tured and made into hay, it is stat
ed that-'tbe grass crop of Colorado
will hi worth thirty millions of
dollars this year. The South
spends millions of dollars among
the cotton that is sold at no profit
and frequently at actual.loss, and
pays- tbe northwest millions ol
dollars for bay whioh we could just
as well raise ourselves and save its

A woman in Albany, N. Y.,
when- tbo Marshal of the City
Court went to her house to serve
a legal notice on her, threw him
headlong down the steps and broke
bis- neck. The account of the af
fair somewhat superfluously adds
that be died. If he hadn’t died it
is altogether likely that she would
havo done something violent to
him, Tbe next offleerwho goes to
mnkWacall on her should employ
a Texas cow-boy with a lasso.
Tbe Columbia Sentinel cohoes
tbe sentimont whioh has so ofton
been expressed in these columns,
and, what'is better, has been illus
trated in them: “Wo doubt vory
seriously.the propriety of arraying
in publio print, as it is generally
done, tbe aecount of suoli dark
crimes as are now daily coming be
fore- the readers of some of our
leading journals. It has an im
moral tendency, and is certainly
productive of no good; but on the
otbcV hand tends, like dime novels,
to exert an immoral influence on
ths Mind of the young.”
TOO MVVtt GROUND.
The tendenoy to smaller farms
is beginning in the South. “There
bas been a very remarkable in
crease;” says tbe Charleston News,
“In the number of smalt farms in
tbo South sinco the war. in Soutli
Carolina there are live small farms
noW where there was one twenty
years ago.. The number of small
farmers is increasing every year.”
All of which is a hopeful indica
tion. Iu .Ncw England a 50-acre
farm may perhaps be called as
large as the average, lu the
South, says the News, the tenden
cy is to out up tho great cotton
plantation into farms of 100 or 200
sores. In South Carolina the av
erage sixe of tbe farms In 1860 was
488 acres; in 1810, 233 acres, and
in 1880, 143 aeres, while there are
hundreds of small farmers who do
not cultivate more than from 20
to 50 acres.
Everywhere we see tbo evil to
(amen of tYying to carry on too
large farms. If the book entitled
“Ten Acres Enough” did not prove
that claim, it at lean presented
fusts that remain unanswered. As
oar Charleston contemporary well
says, it Is a waste of labor to at
tempt tbe cultivation ot more
gtuimd than can- be tilled thor
oughly. It U better to' raise 60
bushels of com on one aero than
J# bushels each on two aete*.
GEORGIA VOLUNTEERS.
The volunteer military com
panies of Georgia are moving for
State recognition and proper sup
port and equipment nnder tbe con-i
Btitation. They ought to have it,
for tbe very good reason that they
deserve it. Upon the same princi
pal that a city should-support and
equip its fire organizations, ought
tbe State to support and equip its
volunteer companies. They are
not mere local organizations, for
they are liable to duty at anytime,
in any portion of the State, under
call of the. Governor. There is
nothing so conducive to jlublic
peace as a well equipped volunteer
force.
Row the Germans Stand.
Nxw Yobk, Sept. 29.—Tfie
Academy of Music was crowded
to-night with Germans who came
in obedience to a call for a mass
meeting of German Democrats.
Gen. Franz Sigel called the meet
ing to order and introduced Os
wald Ottendorfer of tbo Staats
Zeitung as Chairman. The prin
cipal speeches of the evening wore
made by Mr. Ottendorlor, cx-Gov.
Solomon and Joseph Pulitzer of
the World. Mr. Pulitzer's speech
was largely devoted to an arraign
ment ol Mr. Blaine as a represen
tative of the Maine prohibitionists.
The following resolution was
odopted:
Whereas, The- nominations of
Cleveland and Hendricks give
promise of real reforms; therefore,
be it
Besolved, That we sec in these
candidates men whom the nation
can well place at the side of our
best Presidents and Vice Prcsi
dents, and that we have the great
est confidence that on Nov. 4 next
the Gcrman-Ameiican citizens of
the United Stales with unparal
leled unanimity will declare them
selves tor Cleveland and Hen
dricks.
The following telegram Irom
Gov. Cleveland was read by the
Secretary:
] regret that 1 am not able to
attend the meeting to-night. I
hope it will be ns successful as its
most enthusiastic promoters can
desire. G hover Cleveland.
Mayor Edson also sent his re
grets. Before tho meeting ad
journed Carl Scburz appeared on
the platform, and was received
with great applause.
Ho made a few remarks, closing
by saying that James G. Blaine
could never become Presi
dent of the United States ns long
ub his record remained as black as
it was now.
An overflow meeting was hold
in Irving Hall, and was addressed
bv cx-Sonntor Koch, Augustus
kleinnn and Charles Wolke.
