Mr. Harrell deserves the thanks of every poor man In the state for hie manly opposition to this mess- are concocted to farther rob them oftbeir herd earnings. He sald: Tbis was essentially a local inaU tution. It would be just as wise to appropriate tbe Speaker $1,000 to improve hie plantation in mid dle' Georgia as to endow this school. It was simply proposed to equip A, B, C so that they could succeed in life, and add to their private fortunes. Tbe State Uni versity was the only little bole through which an appropriation oou^d be worked. It wonld have no oonneotion with the University. It was tbe same way in which branch collegea bad been establish ed. . If Macon wanta this school why don’t she poll tbe money out of htr pocket and establish it? The State University trustees heve more now than they can at tend to. In 18TS the government appropriated the state a fond to establish an institution of mechan ics and agriculture. That money bed been turned over to the State UniVersltv, which had enjoyed that fund of $1,500 tor 13 years and they now, bad bat two poor little “age” in that school, after a total expenditure or $250,000. In ell that time not more than 40 or 50 ten had been educated. When in- nfltry and theory are joined to gether end tamed over to these trustees, it will be drivelled away in the same manner. They were not .competent to manage the mat ter. • Mr. Harris—Will the gentleman favor the bill if tbe school is estab lished anywhere else than Athena ? Mr. Harrell—Not until all the children in tbe state are provided with an English education. Mr. Hbrrie—Are yon in fevor ot a publio school system at all? Mr. Harrell—Yes, where all the children enjoy alike its benefits. Mr. Hlnee—Will yon vote for this bill et all? Mr. Harrell—No, not even if the sohoe^ were established in' Okee- feenokee swamp. Mr. Harrell uontended that the ■chool wonld be attended by local patrons only. Mr. Harris asked him IT he wonld vote lor tbe bill provided one pnpll was appointed from eaoh county at a beneficiary. Mr. Hstreli said he wonld." not, because be would have to pass over the poor young man and find those who were able to pay hie board and dress respectably. Mr. Harrell said if be bad a thousand children they should not attend any institatlon supported by taxation when all did net enjoy it alike. The State University bad been established before the war, by an aristocratio government—not by a Democratic government— under which we are now living. Yt was for rtoh men’s eons. Mr. Harris—Wonld you vote to abolish tbe university? Mit Harrell—1 wonld, most em phatically. How many citizens are there in your county, gold Mr. Harrell, able to pay $2$0 per year for board and expenses at Athena or elsewhere, besides clothes neces sary to keep the good company there? He wanted poor children to receive the benefits of the gov ernment before it wai voted to those who were able to do with out it. A Warm Weather Invention. From the Chicago IblL The latest drink is ieed soup. You know that in winter time we bad beef tea, steak tea, and other hot drinks, but Ieed soap or bouil lon is having a great run, and I believe that It has come to stay. The lemonade trade has fallen off greatly since the advent of soap. Men who are accustomed to mint juleps, eta., take to the iced soup “like a duck to water.” “When was the new drink brought oat?” “About a week ago a well-known ‘doctor’ came to tbe proprietor and said that he bad soheme that woald take. The bos ses laughed at him. Finally be induced them to- pat down their name for a gallon, and it was brought into the place in a brown Jug. Keep in a cool plaoc, and shake well before takibg,’ were the instructions on acara. Tble was a kind of aobeatnnt, bnt I was told to put the jug on ice, and did so. Then gaily decorated cents were hnog up in the place, and by and by we had a call for a glass of bouillon I poured out a glassful, and, after seasoning it with salt and pepper, banded it to tbe oostom' er. It seemed to have touched tbe right spot, for he aaid that it was tbe beet drink be bad taken for years,” “How many brands are there?” “Well, you can get tomato,vege table, ox-tail, pea, and barley, and tbe dootar says that Ifthe thing la a success he’ll introduce turtle.” OUTINGS OF TBE CABINBT. Washutotow, Aug. A—It Is prob able that tbe President will visit Albany after the fbneral of Gen. Grant before he goes to tbe moun tains. He expects to be able to K t there Sunday next. Secretary inning, who will spend the month of August at Watch Hill, Conn., with bis family, will probably ac company him to Albany. It is ex pected that Secretary Lamar and Attorney General Garland will re main in Washington daring the President’s absence. Tbe other members of the Cabinet will take a vacation. Owing to tbe illness of Mrs. Bay ard it is not expected that the Beoretary of State will spend much of tbe enmmer eeason.in Washing ton. Secretary Edincott and Whit* ney, and Postmaster Ueneral Tiles will spend most of the summer at their homes. The two former will make short visits to Washington whenever their presence is required. It is not defiuitely settled wliat day the presidential party will leave Washington for New York, but it will he either Thursday or Friday of this week, most likely the latter day. Bermuda Grass. An exchange has the following item relative to this excellent grass; Unee sodded tbe work is done for one hundred years. The grazing and hay continues so improve, as the ^od thickens and the land becomes rioher, which it will do every year. ’Tie better to have some bottoms and some uplands^ especially if yon have a creek bot tom which yon are afraid to onlti- vate, hence cannot utilize on ac count, of the dangers of overflows washing away the newly-plowed soiL By having bottom lands and uplands you have grazing through wet and dry season*. Such s niece of land is worth more in Bermuda grass than if planted in oorn. Tbe sod being very tough, it is never so wet that you cannot turn stock In It. Hence yon save a great deal by grazing your plow stock on wet days. Horses, cows, sheep and bogssre equally fond of it, and it is sufficiently strong to fatten them when not at work. It puts forth as early as any gras* in tbe spring. You can graze it till winter; or until your harvest fields are open, then take yonr etook off mow it tor winter feed. Or, If tbe lands are rieh, it will grow up until fell, after the frost, and cattle and other stock will subsist on it (tbe dnr gras*) all tbe winter and spring, alter yonr other crop pa tares are eaten euL—Ex. Bow Civil Berries Reform Berks. Xaatea Ledftr. Tbs case of young Mr. Harley ef Queen Anne’s county Illustrates bow civil service reform works when administered by republican*. Mr. Harley is a democrat, a fresh graduate, and a bright yonng law yer, who made applications to the civil service commission for exam ination for the postal servloe. Ha made tbe highest record among all who wore examined at that time— over 9$ In a possible 100. His name was sent four times to Mr. Adreen, the postmaster at Balti more, bnt every time Mr. Adreon passed him by and appointed are* publican with a lower record, and Mr. Harley was then ruled off the list cf eligibles because he had been rejected four times 1 Fortunately, Mr. Teasey was able to correct the K iatice tut bad been done to . Harley. We have not observ ed that the civil service journals which come to this office have over made any comments In the case of Mr. Harley^ What Do the Drugrist* gsy f They know what the people call for, and they hear what their pa trons say as to whether the medi cines they bay work well or not. Martell ft Johnson, Bush City, Minn., say, Brown’s Iron Bitters gives entire eatisfsetien to our customera.” Kllnkhammer & Co., Jordan, Minn., say, “We eell more Brown’s Iron Bitters than all other bitters combined.” L. E.Hacklcy & Son, Winona, Minn., say, “All our customers speak highly of Brown’s Iron Bitters.” A. O. Whitman; Jackson, Minn.,, says, “Brown’s Iron' Bitters is giving good satisfaction to purchasers.” These are only a few. We have hundreds more just as good. Ken. Mr. Stilson Hutchins, editor of tbe Washington Post, is a capital dinner-giver and a Jolly host. Prince Bismark wonld foam with rage if anybody dared to offer him a Coney Island glass of beer. . Frank R. Stockton, the charming story writer, attributes his capacity for work to his cheerful temper. Professor Beers, of Yale, is an excellent translator of foreign sto nes. Take tbe malt together— Beer(8)aad (Yjale—they are pleas ing to the taste. Mr. Howe, the author of “Hie Story of a Country Town,” says he likes the plays of Sbakspeare, but detests poetry. Perhaps Mr. Howeitdoesn’t know poetry when he Robert Franz,tbe song composer, has, at the age of seventy, jastpub- H'Sbed bis first composition for the piano. If he is compelled to listen to performers practicing it he wiU never-write another. Women. , A Brooklyn lady now calls her pet cat “Sheolen” instead of Helen. Women dentists are said to be “gaining ground" in Germany. Or course they take it by the “achcr.” Miss Bosford, the American girl violinist who is attracting much attention in London, can giro many • professor points in playing. A seaside landlord save he wonld “rather board a bear than one spir- ituelle girl.” She mav be able to eat more than bruin, but when it comes to hugging she will have to ioibear to press herolaim for supe riority. Labor Statistics. A building was in process of erection opposite a pnblio building in Washington city. One of the clerks, who had been looking out of the window for some time, said to another olerk who was reading ss newspaper: “I have been watohing that work man over - there, and he has not done a lick of work in all that tinw. I Wonder what he gets paid for?” -Juet-aoont tbe same time tbo workman remarked to a fellow- workman: “Just look at that government olerk over there. He hasn’t dooo anything except look ont or tbo window for the last half hoar. No wonder the country ingoing to tbe doge.” Mr. Anthony 1L Keilo/ is still boarding at a first dess hotel in Paris and drawing his stipend as minister at Vienna, it is said, with regularity. -Meanwhile it is re ported from Vienna that Mr. Francis bae received hie letterof re call, with instructions to leave the legation m charge of the secretary, Mr. Lee. The report adds tbe state ment that Mr. Lee will remain In ebargo until antuan, when « nek minister to succeed Mr. Fran cis will be appointed. The editor of tbe Sequatchie Advance was bitten by a dog tbo other day, from which effeot tbe dog died. This should be a warn ing to persons owning good doge not to let them monkey with ass editor.—Kingston (Tenn.) Repub lican. There is in the world 392 insti tutions for the education of deaf mates.
