Amoricus, Ga. f Juno 10, 1891.
Baccarat has been given a big boon
by the London court sensation. Tin
great American game Is In danger.
It begins to look liko the next na
tional campaign will be unmarked by
any stump orator alluding to the sur-
plus.
A New York lawyer is after Steve
Ryan, and the reckles. young man may
have to answer for his follies in a Yew
York criminal court.
“Better have scarce money that is
good than plenty of money that is bad,’*
says the Augusta Chronicle. Better still
is it to have plenty of good money.
Girls do not play on pianos as much
now as they used to, says a Yew York
authority. May be Totten is right af
ter all, and the millennium not far away.
A Yew York German lias had his
name legally changed from Hell to Hill.
Ills original name was a bar to social
and business success. Hereafter lie will
be “on it” rather than “in it.”
Tiie failure of the Keystone Hank in
Philadelphia has besmirched the skirts
of Johnnie Wanamakcr. Ho rises to ex
plain, but his explanations won't go
down.
THE CRUCIBLE AND Tin: rt HE COLD.
Perhaps the discussion and dissension
now rife in the churches " ill prove a
blessing Ui disguise.
Christianity was horn in strife and
bloodshed, and it has lived and thmed
upon persecution.
The apostles were dispersed by perse
cution over the whole known world, but
it was like scattering fire, fur they
kindled a blaze of religious fervor where-1
ever they went. And then they fell out |
among themselves. Paul and Bainabas, j
after laboring together in season and (
out of season, fell out at Antioch, and j
ntention was so sharp between j
them that they departed asunder, one j
from the other, and Barnabas sailed j
unto Byprus, and Paul went through;
Syria and Cilicia.
What was the result? Diu their con
tention injure the cause of Christiani
i:\om tion op lawn tennis.
Is lawn tennis on the decline? Will It
daily ‘lie out altogether liko croquet?
We ha*dly think so. There is more
si! sport in the former than in the lat-
Icnnis i-* not such a dan-
croquet.

A little less for pensions and more
pay for the regular army would give us a
good standing army with fewer deser

Hiflii life in England is not materially
different from high life in the states
among the men, but our noble women
never get mixed up with a game of bac
carat or draw poker.
The Macon Evening Yews comes out
in a new dress, printed on a now press,
and shows up handsomely. The Yews
ranks with the leading evening papers
of the state, and is enjoying a good pa-
tronage.
All tho big surplus destroyers are ofT
duty just now and tho secretary of tlie
treasury, whom they put in a hole by
their extravagance, lias to shoulder tho
* responsibility for tho whole Harrison
administration.
That “fifty-two” In tho Florida legis
lature will becomo as fnmous and bis-
torlc as tho Immortal “one hundred and
one” who stood fast by Paltner in tho
Illinois legislature. These “stayers”
* are generally winners.
The president of a crackor company
In Philadelphia has been found to have
been mixed up with the affairs of one
of the “busted” banks there. Anything
so brittle as a cracker company will
hardly do for a bank to tie tot.
It is a strange sort of policy which
makes the republicans boast so much
about the reduction in sugar because of
the removal of tho tariff. There are a
great many things that need cheapening
in this country besides sugar.
Bernhardt Is about os eccentric i
human being as our race has produced.
On her recent voyage to Australia she
ollmbed up to the top of tho rigging and
recited a French poem. She was shrowd
in taking a dark night for hor climb. In
the day time it would bo difficult to dis
tinguish her from a split sheet.
Oharlks Osborn, tho Atlanta mur
derer, Is reported to bo in such bad
health that the gallows may yet be
cheated of its victim. lie lias been vory
despondent since the* governor refused
to interfere with the sentence of the
court and refuses to take nourishment.

The Boston Post says: “The appear
ance of the prince of Walos In the wit
ness box has naturally aroused much in
terest But the experience of being in a
box cannot be unfamiliar to the heir ap
parent to the British throne. His dis
tinguished mother is credited with just
having helped him out of a pretty big fi
nancial one.”
Ik her essay the school girl w ill tackle
the profoundcst problems of life, in the
presence of which tho wisest philoso
phers have uncovered. She will solve
these problems with the greatest of ease,
to her own satisfaction, If not that of
the audience. In unraveling the
* t Tangled skein of life” she nimbly un
ties a knot that Alexander would havo
been forced to cut with his sword.
The Central railroad is leased to tho
Georgia Pacific and goes into the hands
of the West Point Terminal company.
The Terminal has controlled the major
ity of the stock of the Central for sev
eral years, and there will be very iiule
change except in the officials, which has
already taken place. The people of Sa
vannah are not pleased with the deal, as
it is feared that the new owners will not
be so favorable to that city as the Cen
tral has always been.
Not at all. Instead of hurting, it helped.
Their adherents became all the more
attached to them. Those who wore in
different before, now flocked to hear
them preach. Perhaps they came out
expecting each one to lambaste the
the other, but anyway they went out to
preaching.
That Is the first duty the preachers
urge upon the people, to go out to
church, for if you don’t go, how can you
he benefited ? Then if the people go to
church and arc not bcnelittcd, it is the
fault of the preacher and not the
hearer.
So this discussion at the present clay
may result in much good. Tho attention
of the people is attracted to the cause of
Christianity. Their interest is awaken
ed, perhaps their curiosity, porehanco
tlieir hope of seeing a row, anyway they
are moved out of tlieir state of indiffer
ence, which preachers tell us is the most
hopeless state into which a man can fall.
Discussion puts people to thinking,
and it is a poor cause indeed that cannot
hear tho light of thought.. Believers are
strengthened in tlieir belief, and unbe
lievers are aroused to the danger of their
unbelief.
Suppose a church is rent in twain ?
That has happened boforo without dam
age to the cause of Christianity. Yearly
all of tho Protestant churches have been
at some time torn asunder. Different,
sects aro but tho handiwork of man; the
spirit of Christianity is divine.
DR. GAILOR AND THE ItlSIIOPKIC.
Wo notice a disposition to criticize Dr.
Gailor for declining the bishopric of
Georgia tendered to him by tho Episco
pal church of this state. Such criticism
is un-Christian and unjust. Dr. Gailor
did not seek tho office. It is not cus
tomary for any one, boforo a position is
offered him, to say that ho will decline
it. T)r. Gailor was bcll6vcd to possoss
the qualities which tlio successor of tho
grand Beckwith should have. The Dio-
ccsean convention, after a special pray
erful meditation, elected tho chancellor
of Scwancc University. In acknowledg
ing tho news of his election, Dr. Gailor
said that ho would pray for divine
guidance. Who doubts that he has
spent tho intervening timo wrestling
with the angel of the Lord at the Ten
nessee Pcniel?
I)r. Gailor may see that he can do
more good in his present field than he
could do presiding over tho church in
Georgia. Ho is under no obligation,
save to his Master, to accept the bishop
ric of this state.
Bishop Beckwith held his election
undor advisement for a year boforo ac
cepting, and ho was twico waited upon
by committees. I)r. Gailor seemed to
be tho man for this high place, but if ho
cannot take it sumo ouo will -ho found
who may accomplish more than the
gifted young chancellor could.
TT1K DUEL VS. TIIK ASSAULT.
“Dueling is doad in South Carolina,”
says tho Columbia State, which adds:
“But It ought not to bo. There should
bo some means of securing redress for
slander; there should l>o some check
upon tho tonguo of the traducer, and
some mcnaco over the head of tho black
guard.”
Tills prompts the Birmingham Yews
to ask: “What is tho matter with a
good sized, healthy club ?”
Tho trouble is that the other fellow-
might havo a “healthy” pistol in his
pocket, and when you assault him with
“a good sized club” ho might and prob
ably would shoot you. You would he
dead and your slayer would he acquitted.
On tho other hand, if you fight a real,
true, true duel, you will have the sat
isfaction cither of killing the man who
insulted you or of feeling reasonably
certain that he will be punished if he
kills you.
hie in “serving” and “receiving.” It
would do away with a vast deal of run
ning, and striking, and hollering, ami
hurrahing, and cussing.
The prevention of cussing alone would
be a great saving to morals. Why, the
writer of his personal knowledge knows
of a young lady who played her first
game of lawn tennis, and when she
struck at the ball and missed it and
threw her arm out of joint and tw isted
her ankle she exclaimed, “Thunder!’
Just think what she will say when alio
plays her hundrethgame, lu the pro
cess of evolution her “thunder” will be
come something horrible to think of.
will be so full of fire and brimstone that
It will scorch all the trees for a mile
around. Her expletive may develop
into “Confound it, Selina,” or more
terrible still, into ‘Doggone it, Helen
Blazes?”

HAVE JUST RECEIVED
A NEW LINE
A MONl’MENT FOR TIIK IIKKOKS.
The Collcgo of .Charleston asks all the
southern universities and colleges to co
operate with':t,in forming an association
to raise funds to be applied to tlio erec
tion of a monument to perpetuate the
fame and memory of Jefferson Davis,
Robert K. Leo, Stonewall Jackson and
our Confederate dead in general.
In order to arrange some definite mode
of procedure, It is proposed that a con
vention of southern universities and
colleges bo held in Charleston at such
time during tho coming fall, as may be
found most expedient and convenient,
and that an inter state oratorical contest
be made a feature of the proposed
vention, cacli institution being repre
sented by one contestant.
Every southern university and collcgo
is earnestly requested to send a repre
sentation to the convention, whether
such delegation takes part in the con
test or not.
The specific ohjqct of tho convention
is explained in an open letter to be
tlio manifestation and exhibition of the
“grateful regard of the younger genera
tion for the pure and ideal characters, as
well as the splendid emprise and
achievements of those heroes who adorn
ed and illustrated tho history of tho
Confederate States.”
Tho put-pose is laudable and Tiie

success.
