The democratic convention which met in Albany, N. Y., this week declared in unmistakible terms its choice for presi dent to be David B Hill. The following is a p abstract from the platform adopted: <• •The democratic party of the state of Mew York, in convention assembled, renews the pledge of its fidelity to the gre at cause of .tariff reform and to the whole deniedatic faith and tradition as affirmed in our national platforms from 1876 to 1888, as well as in our state plat forms concurrent with the opening of Governor Tilden’s brief ani the close of Governor Hill’s long approved and alike illustroius service in the chief magstracy of the Empire Slate. ••The New York state platform of 1874 declared gold and silver to to be tiie only legal tender; no currency ineonvertable with coin. “In obedience to the mandate of the democratic voters of New York, the dele gates selected by this convent! are instructed to present to the national democratic convention the name of David B. Hill as a candidate for president of the United States—a democrat who has led his party from victory to victory for seven sucessive years, and ho lias never known defeat. The said delegates are further instructed to act as a unit in ali matters intrusted to their charge; said action to be determined by a vote of a majority of the delegates,’ A GREAT TUNNELING SCHEME. The work of tunneling; five, mile. 1 - through the main range of the Rocky Mountains for railway and wholesale gold and silver mining purposes, goes on day and night, and this without state or government aid. More than 6,000 feet of the distance is already driven and twen ty-live veins of gold and silver ore already' ciossed. The Denver, Apex – Western Railroad to connect Denver with Salt Lake City at a saving of 250 miles of dis tance by using this tunnel, hasagiefd for its use for twenty years, and to pay one dollar for each passenger and fifty cents per ton for each ton ot freight taken through it.

Pulitzer Building, New York City, is wonderfully interesting, instructive and suggestive reading matter, telling as it does what men are now doing day and night, where thev are working more than 2,000 feet perpendicularly below the surface of Mt, lvelsq. Nearly 5,000 men women and children are now financially interested as owners of the Atlantic-Pacific Rail way Tunnel and all the properties of the Company. A PLEA FOR THE SOCIAL CLUB. The time was when the weekly meet ings of the Literary and Social Club, al the club rooms, were looked forward t< with a great deal of interest by old and young alike. But. alas, interest in them has gradually dwindled down until there is seldom a sufficient, number present to carry out the programme. Tins is a state of affairs that should not exist. These meetings, when the pro gramme is adhered to, are mtertaining. instructive and interesting alike, to stur dy old age and giddy youth. Dont let it go down. Let all those who can attend tonight’s meeting and have a royal good time as of yore and at same time inspire renewed vigor and confidence in the club.

Oats sown in the fall have through the winter safely so far and looking well. The prospects for a crop were never better. Mrs. D. W. Rainey has been confined to her bed several days, but is now re covering and will be out again in a few days. The prospects for an abundant trait crop this year are far better than they have been for many years, and, indeed, such a crop was never more needed than now. Guano is in demand as of yore. Evi dently the farmers of Schley do not contemplate any reduction in the cotton crop, judging from the amount being purchased. Miss Trammell’s school, at this place, celebrated the birth day of George Washington, the father ot the American republic, last Tuesday. Your correspondent happened to be present and witness part of the pro ceedings of the Teacher’s Institute iast week and was very much interested. We were glad, and not at all surprised, to see that the piincipal of the Glenn Holly school was considered by the teachers present to be an instructor of more ttinu ordinary merit. We predict that Defer many of these meetings are held Miss Trammell " ill lie accorded the first position of honor amonc the teachers ot Schley county. , A HANDSOME JAIL. The Americus Times-Recorder of the 20d contains the following compliment ary notice of Schley county's display of progressiyeness in the erection of a new and suitable county jail: “The new 7 jail has been completed at Ellaville. It cost between $5,000 and $6,000, and from an architectural stands point is a beauty. “Ellaville never does things by halves. when the people up that way take holu of anything of this kind they always display liberality ; nd a commendable desire i<> promote the interests of the community.” Too Proud. A person w 7 ho is trying to “draw out’" the average individual must expect to meet with many an unexpected check. Henry P. Haven, who brought about 3uch admirable methods in Sunday school teaching, tvas one day working with a number of teachers over the lesson of “The healing of blind Bur tiuieus.” One truth which the leader aimed at developing was that no asylums for the blind existed until Christianity had so humanized mankind that it felt and worked for the afflicted. “What city had Jesus visited?” asked Mr. Haven. ‘•Jericho.’’ came the answer. “As he passed out of Jericho, who was sitting by the wayside?” "Blind Bartiweus. the son of Timeus.' “For what was he sitting there?” “To beg.” “Mr. White.” said the superintendent, with meaning, "why do you think Bar timeus sat there and begged, instead of going to the Jericho blind asylum?” “Well.” was the unexpected reply. “I suppose he had the feeling that he didn’t nanion want to be in an asylum!"—Youth’s Coui Chunked His Opinion of the Jury. A gentleman who served on a jury that tried a prisoner defended by General Henry Morgan tells a good one on that counselor. In his speech in arguing the case, General Morgan complimented the jurors highly, telling them that he se lected them specially for their intelli gence. The jury was not out five min ute8 t^foro a verdict of guilty was returue( U whereupon General Morgan exclaimed. "They are the worst set of j f °°!

LOUIS OVER SEAT INO THE GEORGIA DELEGATES. The third party convention at St. Louis turned itself into a howling mob Tues day over the seating of the Georgia delegation. Delegates shook their fists in each others faces and for some time it looked as though a free light would ensue. A good old colored brother tried to calm the troubled waters, but to no avail: the chairman pounded the gavel with all the vigor he could command but the great tempest raged with una bating fury until a recess was taken, Grave charges were preferreu against Mr, Livingston by tia third partvites. Tn claimed that he betrayed their •onfidence and delivered them over to the democratic party, and insinuated that his appearance there was with such a project in view, It was quite a little time before Livingston could secure re cognition from the ohairman but when he did. of course he put their minds at ease on that scor°. A committee, numbering about on ( " hundred and fifty 7 delegates, was ap pointed to draw up a platform, which it is understood will be submitted to the democratic party for its approval or re jects n. Should the democrats refuse to incorporate the suhstance of this in their platform at tne convention this summer at Chicago, then another third party convention will be held at some place to be designated later, for the purpose of putting a presidential candidate in the field. Strength and the Hair. The discussion as to abundance of hait being evidence of strength has agaiu come up, some arguing that there w.v nothing novel in Samson’s strength being in his hair, and others that as a rule the strongest men are least blessed with an abundant hair covering. There are necessarily exceptions to all rules, but most freaks of strength of modem times have luxuriant hair. There are five or six women now traveling with dime museum . shows, lifting enormous weights with their hands or teeth, and performing other extraordinary feats ot strength, anti nearly all of them have magnificent heads of hair, Among prize fighters the same rule applies, and although athletes generally keep their hair cut very close to the head, they usually have a very thick growth of hair and are seldom bald. Ancient history is delved into a great deal in the discussion, but the fact re mains that the strongest men of today have in almost every instance not o»l> heavy heads of hair, but also unite a substantial growth on the chest ami arms. It may be that excessive bodily vigor and activity promote the growth of hair, or that the.hair itself is an evi dence of strength, but whichever may be the cause and the effect, the combi nation exists as a very geueral rule. - Exchange. The whitebait, the sprat, the sardine and the anchovy are the smallest of the finny tribe, and yet the collection and sale of these form important and very profitable industries.
