There lives at Fonda, Georgia, a

According to Herr Japin, the hourly
rate of water falling over Niagara falls
is 10,000,000tons, representing 10,000,(NX)

about suffice to pump the water back

The export of gold from the United
States to Europe is causing uneasiness
in Wall street, but the money kings can
give no explanation of the heavy drain
upon the yellow metal. They only
know that it is going for a sea voyage
and cannot tell when it will return.

Tub Athens Banner is complaining
of tho service on the Georgia railroad
from Union Point to Athens. The best
remedy for the trouble is to move
Athens out to the main line or let her
build a road of her own, as Amerious
has done. Branch roads are not very
desirable to live on, but are sometimes
good feeders.
The study of the McKinley bill still
goes on, and among the other things on
which there Is a tariff, are Italian queen
bees,which are taxed twenty per cent.,
in order to protect the home bee In the
manufacture of honey. While there is
no mention of the fact in the free list,
yet we all know that Italian assassins
are admitted free of duty. \
Mr. Oolesby in ono of bis letters to
the Advertiser said "the only womap on
record who was the wife of a governor,
the sister of a governor, the netce of a
governor and the aunt and foster mother
of a govornor was a southern woman.”
In his pamphlet he gives the name of
this woman as Mrs. Richard Manning,
of South Carolina.-—Montgomery Adver
tiser.
“What do I think the Western and
Atlantic commission will do?” repeated
a prominent official yesterday. "I’ll bet

They will grant tho lessees tho amount
of taxes paid to the state of Tennessee

they will give no betterments—nothing

ematically demonstrated that the world
will come to an end on or before the first
day of April, 1891), or inside of the next
2,878 days? It is a fact, nevertheless:
that is to say it’s a fact that it has been
demonstrated, not that it will actually
take place.
Prof. Totten, a West Point officer and
a professor in Yale college, a man of
learning and ability, claims to have fig
ured it out from various prophesis in
the Bible, and in a late number of Frank
Leslie gave a statement of bis theory
and a reason of the faith that is in him.
J list
is yet to be figured out by this mathe
matical gentleman, but the idea seems
to be that the inillenium will begin, and
that the second coming of Christ will
probably be a part and parcel of this re
markable event. Prof. Totten wxites
like he was in dead earnest, and it is
difficult to determine whether he
is merely guying the world for
amusement, or is really cranky
enough to think he can Interpret
prophecies that have battled the inge
nuity of theologians for centuries.
The Millerites and Second Adventists
have made this idea a laughing stock for
years. So much so that it would be im
possible for Prof. Totten or anybody else
to command the serious attention of the
scientific and enlightened world while
be endeavors to prove the exact day of
the final collapse of mundane affairs.
There is something rather suspicious
in the fact that Prof. Totten puts the
last day on 'April 1st, though he thinks
it is more likely to occur at an earlier
date. He says that the next ten months
is all tho time left for the world to get
itself in shape for the great event, for
on April 1st, 1892, the time, will end
when the beginning of the end will end
Its beginning, or other lucid words to
that effect.

CLEVELAND IX BUFFALO. J
Ex-President Grover Cleveland re
ceived an ovation at Buffalo, N. Y., his
old home, Monday night. The occasion
was the opening of a new club house of ;
the Cleveland Democracy, a democratic j
organization which has a membership of I
seventeen hundred, and Mr. Cleveland Old L-cUTl&r S
delivered the address. The club house j
was packed to suffocation, and standing j
room was at a premium. In the course
of his speech he scores the republican
party for Its extravagance, and shows

Why don't I’rof. Totten lecture on the
situation with a stereopticon, and show
us by practical illustration the actual
point of the end of the world? Is Prof.
Totten afraid that his ond of tho world will
be made the butt end of a joke,so to speak
and that hit announcement of the end

they will soon have control ot that ex

variously announced that Editor Bran

a position on The Chattanooga Times,
another on The New York Herald and
still another In a Sooth Carolina city.

that it wlB be bought on at an early day.
It is to be deplored tor the Simple rea

If a prohibition campaign could bo con
ducted in a quiet, peaceablo and semi

with the contest and it is better left
alone.
- ALL FOIl CHIEF.
Judge Crisp Is in the city to-day. He
came up from Americns last night.
Every one who met him to-day con
gratulated him on his favorhble chances
of being elected speaker of the next
house, nil recent reports from Washing
ton being to tile effect that his election
Is practically a certainty. And that’s
just it. Judge Crisp will next occupy
tho chair which but once bofore In the
history of tills country has been occu
pied by a Georgian. It was then
Speaker Cobb. This time it will be
Speaker Crisp.
The people of all Georgia, and
almost all the south are for Crisp for
speaker," said Hon. Carter Tate, of
Pickins, at the Kimball last owning;
“and If it be true, has os been slated,
that there are two or three Georgia
congressmen attempting to knife him,
they will find thomsolvos cut into mince
meat, politicially, when tho next elec
tion comes. The young men of Georgia
should see to It. that none of this
knifing business, claimed by outside
papers, goes on. I would gladly bo one
of 100 ypung men to gu on to Washing
ton next fall to whoop up for Crisp.
Of course,that would not bo expected to
Intluence the rotes of congressmen, but
It wonld show that his own state is
solidly, unanimously for him, outside
organs of other candidates to the con
trary notwithstanding.”
Judge Crisp doesn’t talk much about
the outlook, but he says he thinks his
chances good.—Atlanta cor. Columbus

lies are making ugly faces at each other
In Birmingham. In the Southern Bap
tist Convention Saturday, in a speech,
Mr. Taylor, whose father is a missionary
at Rome, Italy, pleaded for reinforce
ments. “Look at the fruit of Cathol
icism,” he said, “see the curse and.send

“Papal Europe is teeming with infidel-
Ity and Idolatry, fostered by papallsm. 1 '
In the Daily News Father J. Daley, of
St Paul's Catholic cburoli comes back
with a red hot card, and redacts severely
upon Protestant ministers for making
themselves scarco in times of epidemic,
and concludes: “And for answer to all
calumnies, we will but point to tho silent
graves of our Priests and our Sisters of
Charity who gave up their lives to com
fort the dying in times.of drend pesti

Tax New York Sun suggests that the
republicans of New York nominate Hon.
Chauncy M. Depew for governor, and
thinks that he could poll more votes
than any other man in the republican
ranks. And then, too, if he should
be avcldantly elected, he would be the
leading man for the republican nomina
tion for president In ’02, Tho Sun says
that Mr. Dcpew ir the most popular re
publican in the state, arid while it doei'
not think that his chances for election
see him in the race just for the fair of
the thing.
EnrroR Gantt says ho has recently
received several anonymous letters from
different paits of the state, containing
ell manner of threats and abuse because
of bit defense of the alliance cause. H
Editor Gantt wasn't such a comical cuts,
the publlo might suppose that he con
tained the stuff out of which msrtyrs
were made. But tt’e no use; he can’t
be serious even in the face of the kuklux,
and if some wicked anti-alliance people
should actually bushwhack Editor Larry,
tho people at large would regard It as
one of hts jokes. Let Editor Gantt quit
being so excruciatingly funny.
The senatorial dcad-lock still contin
ues in the Florida legislature, and the
Jacksonville Timcs-Unlon Is thereby led
to remark that as the dead-lock contin
ues and the expense to.the taxpayers go
on increasing every day, the people are
becoming more and more persuaded that
the election of United States senators
should be by popular vote. The schem
ing politician and the boodler need a set
back In this country and In this state.
The Kansas papers say that ex-Sena-
tor Ingalls Is devoting himself to his
truck farm, and that any day he can be
seen in his field hard at work, when lie
la not entertaining the correspondents
who call to Interview him on political
matters generally. It must be a pleas
ing spectaole to the neighboring farm
ers to sit on tho fence of Mr. Ingalls'
field and watch him as h s wields the
glittering hoe, stopping ivery now and
then to take a chew of tobacco and to
spit on bit hnndsms lie glances up to see
how high the sun Is. It is likely, how
ever, that despite the statements of the
republican papers and their descriptions
of Mr. Ingalls in high boots ond big hat
and hayseed in bis hair, that hit farming
Is theoretical and not practical. If be
