When you hear a man say every man baa hi. price, you can put It down that he can be bought up very cheap. Tna demand for .tore rooms in Amer- icua i. increasing every day, and the town is growing regardless of financial oppression. Tan refreshing rains of the past few days have helped the complexion of veg etation, and the crops arc flourishing in consequence. High license in Pennsylvania is high license indeed. The fee for retailers in the cities of the first class has just been raised from $300 to $2,000. One great consolation about this weather is that it wilts the “masher's’ collar and drives him in out of the sun There is some good in everything. “What is so rare as a day In June,” fails flat just now. None of the Juno days so far are rare. They are well done—thoroughly cooked in a very hot oven. Tuk thermometer was near a hundred yeaterday, and remarkable to relate the murder of no “is-lt-hot-enough-for-you” fiend has yet been reported at this office. Sir John McDonald did not like the attitude of the Grand Trunk railroad officials during the’rccent election cam paign, and the Grand Trunk is now re alizing this. TOO MI CH CONFIDENCE. It has gotten to be such a common oc currence for young girls to bo entrapped Into a matrimonial alliapce which brings them only shame and mortification, that something should he done to save them from the embarrassing position Into which so many have fallen of late. The punishment for the crime is only a short terra In tlio penitentiary, and too often the scoundrel who has blighted the whole life of an innocent girl is IctolT witli a light sentence and is soon ready to repeat his crime. If the punishment was dealt out in large doses it would de ter a great many from venturing into a second matrimonial alliance when thero is already one in existence. The girls, too, could often protect themselves by a little investigation into tlie past history of the man who comes to them a perfect stranger, and seeks to inveigle them into an alliance which he knows is illegal. An honest man would readily give references where his past history could be obtained and It would not emharass him at all for the girl to desire to know something of liim before trusting her fnture happiness Into his keeping, and any ono who would refuse to give the necessary references should be shunned as a viper. The case of Miss Leila Morton, a pure and innocent country girl of our neigh boring county, Stewart, is one in which a little Investigation would have de veloped facta which would have saved The favorite color of the summer girl this season will he pink, and the pre vailing color of the summer girl's father when ho comes to pay the bill next fall will ho blue. Kino Kalakea’s personal effects brought only $2,300 at'the sale recently. The interest on this will hardly enable Mrs. Kalakna to cut much of a dasli in Hawaiian society. A stock company lias been formed in Atlanta with $28,000 already subscribed for the purpose of publishing an nfter- noon prohibition paper. Tips antis will probably follow suit.

She met Spencer Owen and mar ried him without knowing anything con cerniug Ills past history and only the next day after the marriage the facta of his previous marriage and the existence of his wife and six children in a county no further off than Putnam, came to light, and the sheriff was soon on his track as a bigamist. These facts could have been developed the day previous as easily as the day after the marriage, but no attempt was made until it was too late to save the girl from her present unfortunate position. Owens is now behind the bars in the umpkin jail, and his victim Is in An niston, Ala., where she will probably re main rather than return to her own homo under Gie present embarrassing circumstances. Girls place too mneli confidence in men of whom they knpw compaartlvely nothing, and the sad fate of this young girl should be a warning to others. different views or honor. Tin- great noise being matlo in En gland over what they call the "scandal of Tranby Croft" suggests to tlio pro vincial American mind, where sonic crude Ideas of morality stiS exist, that all this row is In the nature of honor among thieves. It would he a great scandal over in this neck of tlio woods if a party of la dies and gentleman pretending to re spectability were eaught gambling, and no great difference would be made be tween tboso who cheated and tlioso who played a straight game. The public wouldn’t inquire Into any minor details of that kind; the whole party would suf fer disgrace. Of course it is understood hero that a great many men who stand well social ly, and otherwise, have a habit of play ing poker and gambling in other ways, but it is done under cover, and sacli a In Atlanta you can buj a meal, a pa-, j )rnct j ce W oulcl not for a moment he tol- per or mediciue ou Sunday, hut the law- will handle you if you buy a cigar or a piece of tobacco on that day—and will handle the man selling it.

PoRTipDAx’s financial tension is eas ing up a little, and its credit Is Improv ing on the tuonoy market of the world, hut until all dangor of a revolution passes no solid and permanent Improve ment In the condition oan come. Under a republican administration, with a large increase In customs duties, there ie still no surplus. While the pres- oat spendthrift gang has charge of af faire, money paid Into the treasury Is like water poured Into a rat-hole. Tbe Hew York Sun never loses an op portunity to drive a shaft at Cleveland. This i* all unnecessary. If the people want Cleveland they will elect him, and It they do not they will not elect him, regardless of the desires of the Bun. "Does farming pay?” Is a query now going the rounds of the press. Hot if one crop (cotton for instance) Is raised, and the farmer spends half bis time leaning on his hoe discussing agrarian political schemes with tbree-for-a-cent demagogues. crated as a social pastime among hull cs and gentleman. Hut the “scandal at Tranby-Croft” has no reference to the faot that the high- toned and titled company who were as sembled In that country seat, spent tlieir time In gambling, hut that one of the party was canght cboating. The prince of Walos intimated on the witness stand that he had cut Sir Wil liam Gordon Cumming sinco he had been made to believe that Sir William cheated, and another of the party was called on to explain why, since the rev elation had come to hla ears, he had continued to address Sir William as “Dear Bill 2" To our backwoodsy and plebeian view this looks very much like the same sort of principle that makes the train robber “tote square with his pals." But no aueh view seems to prevail in England. The only disgrace thought of over there attaches to tho man who cheated. Commenting on the story that John Young Brown was nominated* for gov ernor of Kentnoky through the Influence of hla beautiful and intelligent daughter, tbe St. Loula Globe-Democrat remark* that it is a pity President Harrison's son was not born a daughter. John L. Sullivan is quoted as sayiog “Actin'* dead easy. All a feller wants ia gall; me and Booth has got the gall, bnt when dere’s any scrappin' to be done, Booth ain’t in it wid me, see?” As Sullivan has been in both the acting and tho scrapping business, his opinion abonld be of some weight. A bio Irish fund lies In the banks of Pails, which neither faction of the Irish -.party can touch, and which is likely to ! Ue thero for some time. It would seem that any further contributions to the cause of Ireland are out of order, until tho party *o far harmonizes aa to be able to iho what it lias already collected. Atlanta, Georgia, is the most unique spot on the universe. She hadn't got through with Brother Culpepper before the took up the women. One branch of that blessed community says the women shall not preach, while the other says tboy shall, if they want to, and it’s nobody's business to stop them. Brother Hawthorne has flopped, and now affirms that so long as he Is pastor of the First Baptist, no female propagandist shall desecrate his pulpit. Some forty or fifty of his thousand members feel as he does and they passed a resolution. Such lack of gallantry has aroused tho dander of Atlanta's Christian Tcmperanco Union, causing these dear sisters to take a hand in making resolutions and to pat Brother Abbott on the hack. Bo qniot, neigh, bor. Prof. Sualer, of Howard university, has made a discovery iu a Tennessee cave which brings up a good deal of talk about a pre-historlc race. It Is a petri fied body of a man, which it is stated, was discovered a few days since, hut the whole story sounds like a fake, and thoughtful people are inclined to sue pect that Joe Mulhattan Is in the neigh borhood of Sequatchie valloy. St COMMENCEMENT. This word refers exclusively to tho graduating class, as it Is tbe commence ment of their practical life. Their eman cipation from school drudgery and pro fessors begins when tlieir piploma is handed them. If a graduate lias done his duty, ho lias had but little leisure for reading, the little in which ho has indulged should have boen suggested by his studies. He should now bare a trained mind, and can begin to read with profit. Happy Is he who can now find his proper work to do under tbe sun, and will joyously begin to toil atfe. There is no other blessedness but this. What ever good may bo his portion lieic can be obtained on no other terms. Go to work, says n philosopher, and cease prating about thy happiness.' God did not make thee to be happy, but to do thy work and thy duty. This is as if It liad been inspired. One may sail down the Rhine, and scale the Alps; visit the land of the mid night sun, and the Holy Land; use the world as one does an orange, only to squeeze the juice out of it, and throw the rind away, and yet accomplish noth ing, and die miserably at lost of inani tlon. The fault with most of us, perhaps, In choosing our life-work is, that we pro pose a life of ease, and desire, as has been said, to live plausibly in the half, rather than heroically in the whole. After deep communion with one's own soul, on this business of one's life- work, about which to make a mistake is fatal, one should not fall to ask tbe sit prerae guidance of the Infinite One who surely is as much interested in the de cision, as lio who humbly bends the knee before Him; and lifts towards the Heavens, his supplicatory hands. The retrospect of a life thus begun, caDuot but he crowded with bright and cheering memories of what has exalted and enabled the soul, and prepared It for sublimer achievements In the Infinite hereafter.

Tho Boston Herald of recent date con tained a slgniftcent editorial in regard to the shipment of western product) to New England port* via Newport News and Savannah. The Herald expects from this move ment a great benefit to New England in reduced freight rates, 500 <vr moro miles being saved iu railroad transporta tion. This Is very encouraging to the south ern ports and quite prophetic of south ern progress. Tho gulf ports aro still nearer to the great trans-Mississippi country than those mentioned iu the Herald's article and it is*probable that they will bo tlio futuro exporting place for western produce. * With all these advantages in favor of southern ports, why must our cotton etc.,.be shipped to New York? And why must western grain shipped via southern ports go to New York for final export? Thero is a great future for some south ern seaport town.
