TH* Death of Cal. r. K. Bark*.
On tho evening of tho 82d of December.
1883, at bto rtsideao* in Leetoo, Col. F.
E. Bark* breathed hto last Hto Missis
was of abort duatton. Haring been
called to New York on business, while
there he wa* taken with erysipelas from a
alight wound canted by aa operation per
formed on hto breast. Hews* brought
home quite sick, to grow' wort* and
worse, until the total honr, which when
he knew it inevitable, be met with that
calm, fearless and Christian spirit char
acteristic of him in life.
Col. Bnrke was lorn in 8t*wart county.
Go., in August, 1814. He was educated
at the University at Athens lo onr State.
He had scarcely completed his collegiate
coarse when, responding to hto eonntry'*
call, he hqckled on hto aword and took
the field in her defense, peeving aa Cap
tain of a Cavalry company. He resigned
this position and organised a regiment of
which be woe mad* Colonel. He served
only a abort lima in this capacity and
waa soon afterwards ni di an Aid-de-
camp on Gen. Joseph E. Brown's staff;
daring which lime ha eaited a paper
exiled Ike Southern Confederacy.
After the cloxe of the war ho edited the
8< Ima Daily Times. In 1887 lie returned
to the home of bto childhood. Stewart
connty, and began the pnotice of tow.
He (sbi to Americas, Go., in the fell of
1888 end was s resident of onr eity up to
hto death. It wan here the real work of
hto life was arr.imp)ishe.l. He began as
a law partner of Col. W. A. Hawkins, List
buiness offered a broader field to hto
talents, and it was a* the active, progress
ive and anliring biuloesa man that he
wa* tost known to the world.
As to well known, he waa cashier of the
First National Hank, which institution
was organised mainly by hto efforts; he
sncceeded the Bank end in connection
with the banking basinets, was in the
cotton and brokerage lines. For the past
fnv yean, however, inoonaeetlon with
hto hanking enterprise, the leading fsa
te re of bto business has been in making
loans and investments for Northern cap
italists. Hto tost set in the capacity of a
business man was th* organisation of the
Georgia Loan and Tioat Company, of
which b« was president, an institution
which haa brought, and will bring, thous
ands of dollars for investment in onr sec
tion, to aid in it* up-bnilding and lot
provemeot.
As a pnblto man Col. Borka waa liberal,
progrtseiva and ever reedy In works for
the public good. Had h* llred, bto im
migration schemes would certainly have
done inestimable good for onr seotion.

change of Bev. Geo. H. Johnson from the

IN A CHINESE JOSS HOUSE.
[Baa Francisco Cor. Philadelphia Timm.]
Wandering about th* China** quar
ter, now and then one haa tba failing
of Doing in some naw planet Every
thing ia un-American. Evan the fond
ness of modern decorators for Chinese
and Japanese ornamentation does not
prepare one for th* carious and extra
ordinary furniture and appointments of
tho Chinese restaurants. In their
moral pictures their artists appear to
Imro looked upon the forms of netnra
with preternatural eyes. Now and
thon, in small, ill-ventilated room*, on*
cornea upon liand-work ornaments
which snrpaaa in felicity the finest
achievements of European skill in tho
tame direction. Some of the richest
metal and panel wort X hare ever aeaa
is in tho lorn honse. There
i* another Joes house, apparently
for the very poor, whose decorathme
arc fantastic to a degree. This seems
to have I wen improvised under some
priestly order. Daring tho |m*t week,
in front of tho door stand two gigantio
figure*, in raliof, suggestive of some
Chinese Gog or Magog, their Gag
comprising every color of the rainbow.
In the gtonnd room was an ever-whirl
ing cage, suspended, containing all
■manner of incomprthenaible little ob
jects, awl on the walla picture* convey
ing some story of a hero going through
many ordeals, which seem to be of ab
sorbing interest to tbs 'crowd. Thar*
were three stories to th* house, each
got np in a different way. One of theao
waa called the tempi*. Than wm m
altar in on* of these rooms, on which
waa a lironzc canldrpn, which Chinamen
every now and than stirred and feme
which issued a steam of a peculiar odor.
In tho chief temple there was a large
figure of the Joes, in whom I oonld rec
ognize torn* far-off corruption of Bud
dha; oil tha altar before him was a
large, round dish with compartments,
each of which eofttained candies of •
different shape and color. *In this tem
ple tha Chinas* teamed to idle around;
no hot wm remand, nnd then was
nothing in their flora or behavior which
indicated any reverence or solemnity.
Haring found n Chinaman who under
stood a little English ho told me that it
was a three-day festival or mission.
At tho qnd of tho three days, in the
evening, I went around that way, and
at midnight witnessed n strange Joaa
procession. Tha street for 200 yards
waa fringed with firs, apparently "

In th* water of Halt Lake a bather

out any exertion whatever, or bypass

ing tha two ends he can remain in nay
depth of water kneeling, with hto bead
and shoulder* out of water, or bv shift*
iug it under the sole of the feet ne can
sit on lb* aster. The one exertioh, ia
fact, ,1a to keep one's balance; none
whatever i* required to keep afloat. The
only danger, therefore, arias*from chok
ing by accidentally swallowing soma of
tho water, for the strength of tba brine
to so intense that the muscles of Uw
throat are convulsed, and strangulation
ensues. All the some, I bare myself
