Baccarat has beeu given a big boom by the London court sensation. The great American game is in danger. It begins to look like 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 reckless young man may have to answer for bis follies in a New York criminal court. / “Butter hive scarce money that* is good than plenty of money that is had,” savs the Augusta Chronicle Better still is it to have plenty of good money. Girl* do not play on pianos as much now as they used to, says a New York authority., ^lav be Totten is right af ter ^11, and the millennium not far away. A New York German has had bis name legally changed from Hell to Hill. His original name was a bar to social and business success. Hereafter lie will be “on it” rather than “in it.” The failure of the Keystone Hank in Philadelphia has besmirched the skirts . of Johnnie Wanamaker. He rises to ex plain, but his explanations won’t go down. * A little less for pensions and more pay for the regular array would give us a good standing army with fewer deser tions, and put the people’s money where it is most needed. * High life in England is not materially different from high life iu the states among the men, but our noble women never got mixed up with a game of bac carat of draw poker. The Macon Evening News comes out in a new dress, pritfted on a new press, and shows up handsomely. The News ranks with the loading evening papers of the state, and is enjoying a good pa tronage. All the big surplus destroyers are off duty just now and the secretary of the treasury, whom they put in a hole by their extravagance, has to shoulder the responsibility for the whole Harrison administration. That ‘Nifty-two” in the Florida legis lature will become as famous and his toric a^the immortal “one hundred and one” who stood fast by Palmer in the Illinois legislature. These “stajers” arc generally winners. The president of a cracker company in Philadelphia has been found to have been mixeit up with the affairs of ony of tho*“busted” banks there. Anything so brittle as a cracker company will bardly do for a bank to tie to. It is a strange sort of policy which makes the republicans boast so much • about the reduction iu sugar because of the removal of the tariff. There are a great many tilings that need cheapening in this country besides sugar. Bernhardt is about as eccentric a human being as our race‘has produced. On her recent voyage to Australia she climbed up to the top of the rigging and recited a French poem. She was shrewd in taking a dark night for her climb. Iu the day time it would be difficult to dis tinguish her from a split sheet. ^ Charles Osborn, the Atlanta mur derer, is reported to be in such bad health that the gallows may yet be cheated of its victim. He has been Very despondent since the governor refused* to interfere with the sentence of the court aud refuses to take nourishment. If ho lives he will be hung on tbo 2fitli inst. The.Boston Post says: “The appear ance of the prince of Wales 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.”-- TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE. It lias gotten to be such a common oc currence for young girls to be entrapped into a matrimonial alliance 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 term in the penitentiary, and too often the scoundrel who has blighted the whole life of an innocent girl is let off with a light sentence and is soon ready to repeat his crime. If the punishment was dealt out iu large doses it would de ter a great many from venturing into a second matrimonial alliance when ther is already one in existence. .The girls, too, could often protect themselves by a little investigation into the past history of the man who cutties to them a perfect stranger, and seeks to inveigk\theni into an alliance which lie knows is illegal. An honest man would readily give references where his past history could he obtained and it would not embarass him at all for the girl to desire to know something «»f -him before trusting her future happiness into his keeping, and any one 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 facts which would have saved her from her present mortifying posi tion. She met Spencer Owen and mar ried him without knowing anything con cerning his past history and only the ue*t day after the marriage the facts of his previous marriage and the existence of his wife and .Jix 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 Lumpkin jail, and bis victim is iu An niston, Ala., where she will probably re main rattier than return to her own home under the present ernharassing circumstances. Girls place too much confidence in men of whom they know compaartively nothing, and the sad fate of this young girl should he a warning to others. THE CRUCIBLE AND THE PURE GOLD. Perhaps the discussion and dissension now rife in the churches will prove a blessing in disguise. Christianity was born in strife and bloodshed, and it has lived and thiived upon persecution. The apostles were dispersed by perse cution over the whtrte known world, hut it was like scattering fire, for they kindled a blaze of religious fervor where- ever they went. And then they fell out among themselves. Paul and Barnabas, after laboring together in season and out of season, fell out at Antioch, and the contention was so sharp between Ok DIFFERENT VIEWS OF HONOR. pThe great |noise beingJimade inl£n- gland over what they call the “scandal of Trauby Croft” suggests to the pro vincial American mind, where some crude Ideas of morality still exist, that all this row is in the nature of honor among* thieves. It would he a great scandal over in this neck of the woods if a party of la dies and gentleman pretending to re spectability were caught gambling, hind no great difference would be made be tween those who cheated and those who pjayed a straight game.

In unraveling the “Tangled skein of life” she nimbly un ties a knot that Alexander would have been forced to cut with his sword. The Central railroad is leased to the 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 little change except in the officials, which has already taken plafce. 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. TtlKY DREAD THK ELECTRIC LIGHT. The simple people lit some of the in terior provinces of Germany and Austria are reported as makiM a stout tight against the electric l^ht. The tarnal thing seems to them uncanny, awful and omiuous. They know' what*a penny dip means and have lighted their way to the giave with it for many generations. But this carbon burner, with its bright, supernatural fiash, its occasional crack ling, as though there were imps in the air and they all had the colic—well, it’s too much for tlieir+equanimity, and if a protest doesn’t work it is possible that they may resort to violence. Modern science and modern improve ments are always in a tight of that kind. When stoam was introduced there were a food many wiseacres who shivered at the sacrilege itfid predicted disaster. They had to surrender, however, and these good folk will do the same after a while am! wonder why they were silly enough to oppose the innovation. The temperament of Americans is rather different. We don’t like old things or old ways.. On the contrary, we arc eagerly interested in telephones, telegraphs, kindtographs, microphones, phonographs and all the other “phones” and “graphs” which arc pecking their way through the.shell. We are in an awful hurry for some one to Invent a cheap way to store electricity w hich will drive us across the ocean in five days, and we don’t want to die uutil we have made at least oue trip to the clouds iu a Hying machine. Berliu has as many electrical institu tions as there are in New York and Lon don, and the march of science will soot) ring out the old and ring iu the new. Out of the * tw enty-seven young men who will graduate from the«state Univer sity this year, only one wilf go to the farm for his living. More than half of these graduates will seek fame and for tune at the bar, while not oue will enter the ministry. AThe eight young men who will graduate from the Georgia Technological school this month will be of more service tq their state than the twebty-seven who will be given diplo mas at Athens. hearer. So this discussion at the present day may result iu much good. The attention of the people is attracted to the cause of Christianity. Their interest is awaken ed, perhaps their curiosity, perchance their hope of seeing a row, anyway they are moved out of their 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 the light of thought. Believers are strengthened in their belief, and unbe lievers are aroused to the danger of the! unbelief Suppose a church is rent in twain ? That has happened before without dam age to the cause of Christianity. Nearly all of tfie Protestant cjiurches have been at some time torn asunder. Different seqfs are but the handiwork of man; the spirit of Christianity is divine. EVOLUTION OF LAWN TENNIS. Is lawn tennis on the decline? Will It finally die out altogether like croquet? We hardly think so. There is more real sport in the former than In the lat ter. Then lawn tennis is not such a dan- derous game as croquet. If you get mad with your opponent in croquet you can whack him over the head with your mallet, but in lawn ten nis you can’t get at him before he has a chance to run, because there is a netting between the two opposing sides. But this netting is not very high, and f n act ive man can spring over it by taking a running start. And just here we see the only defect in the game of lawn tennis. This net ting should be at least 10) feet high, so that an irate player could not get over it, and then the balls could not get over either. This would prevent much trou ble in “serving” and “receiving.” It would do away with a vast deal of rmi lling, and striking, and hollering, and hurrahing, and Sussing. The prevention'of cussing alone would be a great saving-to morals. Why, the writer of his personal know ledge knows of a young lady who played her first game of Jawn tennis, and when she struck at the ball and missed it and threw her arm out of joint and twisted her ankle she exclaimed, “Thunder 1” Just think what she will say when ahe plays her hundred!game. In tire pro cess of evolution her “thunder” will be come something horrible to think of. It will bo 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?” cheated, and another of the party was called on to explain why, since the rev elation had come to his ears, he had continued to address Sir William as “Dear Bill ?” 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 such view seems to prevail in England. The only disgrace thought of over there attaches to the man who cheated. The Kansas City Star says: “A short spell of dry weather is greatly needed now iu the Missouri valley.” Frequent rains in that region and in Kansas have interfered with the harvesting of the anuudant wheat crop which lias been grow n this year. Since the long drought has been broken here, perhaps we will he complaining in a short while of too frequent rains. We are never satisfied with the weather. Savs the Globe-Democrat: '“The Re publican party needs only two things to make its success in 1802 absolutely cer tain, to-wit: the election of Mills to the peakership and the nomination of Cleveland for the presidency.” Those are two things that are doomed never to happen. Mills will never be speaker, Cleveland will not be nominated and the republican party will be snowed under. A rig Irish fund lies in the banks of I’aiis, which neither faction of the Irish party can touch, and which is likely to lie there for some time. It would seem that any further contributions *o the cause of Ireland are out of order, until the party so far harmonizes as to be able to use wiiat it has already collected. A MONUMENT FOR THK HEROES. The College of Charleston asks-all the southern universities and colleges to co operate with’]it,in forming an association to raise funds to be applied to the erec tion of a monument to perpetuate the fame and memory of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and our Confederate dead in general. In order to arrange some definite mode of procedure, it is prouosed that a con vention of southern universities and colleges be held in Charleston at such time during the coming fall, as may be found most expedient .and convenient, and that an inter state oratorical contest be made a feature of the proposed con vention, each institution being repre sented by one contestant. Every southern university and college is earnestly requested to send a repre sentation to the convention, whether such delegation takes part in the con test or not. The specific object of the convention is explained in an open letter to he the 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 the history of the Confederate States.” The purpose is laudable and The Times-Recordkr wishes the movement success. Never before in the history, of this country has there been such a campaign of education as that now rolling along from Maine to California and from the unsalted lakes of the north to the saline waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It is not a campaign by the word of mouth so much as by the weightier power of the pen. The people are reading and think ing as they never read or thou -lit before. The best minds of the country are de voting themselves to the noble task of enlighteniug the plain people upon the great economic and industrial questions of the day, and from the newspapers and magazines there pours forth a migh ty tlood of earnest and intelligent dis cussions on the vital issues which have sprung up in these recent times. Out of all this study good will result. Deraa- goglsm and trickery and dishonesty will be relegated to oblivion and the happy era of contentment and prosperity will come to stav and bless. I'rof. Shaleu, of Howard university, has made a discovery in a Tennessee cave which brings up a good deal of talk about a prehistoric 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 sus pect that Joe Mulhattau is in the neigh borhood of Sequatchie valley. The German iron and steel manufac turers have decided, after conference, not to participate in the Columbian ex position because the expense attendant JOHN BROWN’S BOY. The newspapers are printing the fol lowing interesting statement: Jason Brown stood with uncovered head at General Grant’s tomb, and said to a friend: “General Grant finished the work that my fattier began. The sons and daughters and grandchildren of John Brown have no feel ing** of hostility against the aiuth nor the peonle of the south. L»t the p*st be buried beside the graves of Abraham Lincoln. Ulysses 8, Grant and John Brown.” It is of much importance that Jason “stood with uncovered head.” It is in teresting to know ghat he stood at all; and most intensely interesting to know that Grant finished John Brown's work. The great heart of the south leaps up with feelings of deepest thankfulness at the knowledge that the descendants of John Brow n “have no feelings of hos- ti’ity against the south nor the people of the south.” And another thrilling thing is Jason’s call upon the animate wdrld to “let the past he buried beside the graves of Lin coln, Ulysses b. Grant and John Brown.” True, a self-.respecting past might object to being buried alongside the vulgar fanatic, who lost his neck iu search of notoriety in the vicinity of a certain old ferry on the Potomac river; but that doesn’t make any special difference so long as the past is buried. .Seriously, Jason Brown ought to go back to the Pacific slope aud bold bis tongue; and he might as well take back with him the knowledge that the south doesn’t care two straw's what the “sons and daughters and grandchildren of John Brown” may think of this section of the American Union. It is time for Jason Brown and the whole world to un derstand that the south is not on her knees prayiug for pardon on account of any of her deeds of the past. For ten years and more the south has been the conserving force of the Union. The south is the Union, gentlemen. There! DR. GAILOK AND THK BISHOPRIC. We notice if disposition to criticize Dr. Gailor for declining the bishopric of Georgia tendered to him by the Episco pal church of this state. Such criticism is un-Christian and unjust. Dr. Gailor did not seek the office. It is not cus tomary for any one, before a position is offered him, to say that he w ill decline it. Dr. Gailor was believed to possess the qualities which the successor of the grand Beckwith should have. The Dio- cesean convention, after a special pray erful meditation, elected the chancellor of Sewanee University. In acknowledg ing the news of in's election, Dr. Gailor said that he would pray for divine guidance. Who doubts that he has spent the intervening time wrestling with the angel of the Lord at the Ten nessee Petiiel? Dr. Gailor may see that he can do more good in his present field than he could do presiding over the church in Georgia. He is under no obligation, save to his Master, to accept the bishop ric of this state. Bishop Beckwith hold his electlou under advisement for a year before ac cepting, and he was tw ice waited upon by committees. Dr. Gailor seftmed to be the man for this.higti place, but if be cannot take it some one will be found who may accomplish more than the gifted young chancellor could. Atlanta, Georgia, is the most unique spot on the universe. She hadn’t got through with Brother Culpepper before she took up the women. One branch of that blessed community says the women shall not preach, w hile the other says they shall, if they want to, and it’s nobody’s business to stop them. Brother Hawthorne has Hopped, and now affirms that so long as lie is pastor of the First Baptist, no female propagandist shall desecrate his pulpit. Some forty or lifty of his thousand members feel as he does and they passed a reablution. Such lack of gallantry has aroused the dander of Atlanta’s Christian Temperance Union, causing these dear sisters to take h baud in making resolutions and to pat Brother Abbott on the back. Be quiet, hoi. THROWING STONES AT A HUBfBUq A Mr. Schweinfurtb, who lives on the other side of the Mississippi, has re- centiy gained considerable notoriety by declaring himself to be the Christ. He is as odd a human stick as ever refused to lie straight, but there is not much doubt that he is as honest as he is * e !f. deluded. Such people do very little harm if they are let alone. They gabble all day like a creaking wind mill, and a few- fools may accept their pretensions as true. But what of it? It is big enough world to hold both wise men and crarks. Moreover, that immortal instrument on which our government U founded, the constitution, guarantees to every one the right to make an idiot of himself if it pleases him to do so. The good folks iu his neighborhood, however, are slmpljr wild about the mat ter. Not Satisfied with laughing at the fellow, they concluded the other night to give him a coat of tar aud feathers, thinking in that way to make the pun. ishment fit the crime. They have grown tired of his chatter, have resorted to persecution, stone throwing, mud throw, ing, booting, howling and a large variety of threats, all of which are both foolish and stupid. To tar and feather such a man is to increase his influence. Noth ing helps an impostor so much as to i make a martyr of him. The world is made that way aud it can’t be unmade by a rabble. Gentlemen, let Schweinfurtb severely and agonizingly alone. Give him full swing and place your dependence on that common sense w hich teaches us that the best means of getting rid of a creature of that kind is to give him all the rope he wants. THE ORIGINAL-PACKAGE CASKS. The United States supreme court haul again decided what may be called the] law of original packages. Its first decision was that the law of I Iowa prohibiting the sale of liquor was I an interference with the freedom of I commerce between the states. This I was looked upon as a very serious at-1 tack upon the right of a state to exer cise its own police powers. One mayor may not believe in prohibitory legisla-1 tion, but until the announcement of the! original-package decision it had always I been assumed that each state might de-1 termine the question for itself. The I supreme court, in deciding that an Iowa I saloon-keeper might sell the liquor that I he bought in another state in the origi-J" nal package in which It came, greatly] changed, if it did not nullify, the state] statute. Congress came to the relief of the I states and enacted a law providing that! any original package brought into the I state shall be subject to the state laws] regulating the sale of similar property] manufactured within the state. And! this statute has beeu declared to be con-j stitutional. The law is now' what nearly all lawyers] thought it was before the first decision,J but it lias beep made so by legislation— a dangerous method of preserving oui constitutional limitations. The extension of the four-and-a-lialf| per cent bonds at the rate of two per cent., which now seems a probable event, would have been regarded as a I miracle a few* years ago.
