POPE BARROW.
t*-rm of Senator Beii
nnHr Hill will lie filled by Pope Par
of the most prominent *of the
Georgia politicians. He was
Porn in Oglethorpe on the Ist
August 1839. He received a good |edu
oation and graduated at the State Uni
versity in 1859. In his class were Hon.
A.O. Bacon, Col. J. M. Pace, of Coving
ton, f'aptain E. P Howell, Judge
Twiggs, and Hon .John Jordon, of the
present House of Representatives. In
April, 1861, he entered theConfedeaate
service as a lieutenaut in the Troup, ar
tillery.—Afterwards he was made aid
de-camp of General Howell Cobb, and
held that position until he was captured
n 1865. He was hied in prison until
ihe war closed. —Then he came beck to
Athens and began the law. His prac
tice %was abandoned for three years
wince that time, when he farmed in
Oglethorpe county. He returned to
Athens and the practice several years
ago and at the bar has achieved Iflatter
ing success. He was elected to the last
Legisluture and was one of its foremost
men. He held in the House the |ehair
raanship of the Committee on Immigra
tion.
Mr. Barrow married Miss Sallie Craig
grand daughter of Dr. Church. She
died last Christmas, leaving jinotherless
live children. A few weeks ago quite
a number of the members of the last
flegislature addressed (a letter to Mr
Barrow and asked him to allow the use
of his name for the unexpirod Senatori
al term. He consented, and the zeal
ous advocacy of his friends bore fruit in
kiii election Wednesday. It is a singu
lar coincidence that Mr. Barrow’s great
grand-father, Gov. Wilson Lumpkiu
was also elected to fill an unexpired
h#m in the United States Senate. Mr.
Harrow’s father, David C. Barrow, is
is planter in Oglethorpe county, Ilis
brother, David C. Barrow. Jr., is a Pro
fessor at the the State University, and
another brother, Thomas Barrow is a
planter in Decatur county.
Mr. Barrow will enjoy the honor o f
being the youngest member of the pre
sent Senate. Senator Gorman, of Mary
land is two years older. Senator Rid
dle berger is a little younger, but will
not enter the Senate until the day Mr.
Barrow goes out. The Senator elect
lias won on envailble frrne at the bar
and in legislative council. He has thou
Hands of Georgia friends, confidently
looking for a fulfillment of the hopes of
a life that has been remarkably success
ful up to its meridian.
It seems from recent complaints and
statements that what should be the
greatest public benefaction in New
York is about to develop in to being a*
public calamity. We allude to the pul|
lie schools. Complaint is made that the
older students are overworked and ||Jie
younger ones overcrowded. It is claim
that the air in the primary
so l'etid that every
BBmjury to health.
BA say that going through tA|
grind of the public
cannot get clerkships because they
do not possess the kind of knowledge
wanted. The girls declare that they
are forced to study until midnight in
order to learn their lesson, ittis gener
ally conceded that the primer -schools
all ever the country are too large. Little
Children require close and
watchful care and school for them
should be mads so pleasant that they
will not so soon tire of it. Of course it is
of tin first importance that they 'should
have pure air and healthful summit 1-
course too, it is impossible to
for young children these requiskj
there are five times as many
assmkld be crowded into one room and
and under only one pair of guardian
l The subject just now is engag
ing a good deal of attention and discuss
"ion in New York and will probably re-
Sviltinjsome wholesoimjchauges.lt would
doubtless be a blessing if it should en
gage the ftt-ention of whole country for
ftwlii le. J
From some recent occurrences it aif
pears that science
wonderful works does noT yet unde A
stand and control all the forces of na
ture. A few days ago in Cincinifliy five
hundred telegraph wires were melted in
a minute and jpbody was able to give
any satisfactory reason for it, or accoun
for it in any way. £
Electricity it will be sMi therefore is
not entirely subdued by lfan. It may not
be a groundless fear to anticipate some
anticAfromour electric lights
imam aheavy thunder storm. And whefl
project of runn\ • h ® av T engined
by currents of electricity .f conceded a
success, who knows what disasters may
not occur if this k fierce power should
be wrongly directed, or escape control.
It is certainly to be hoped that a deci
ded advance may be made in the science
of electricity in view of the uses to
which it is now being put.
America has now libraries con
tainiug over a hundred thousand vol
umes e ich. This is is almost marvel
ous, for twenty-five yea^psgothere was
*ot one. Still another stride will haT%
to be taken before we approximate Eu
rope in this matter, for instance The
British Museum contains a million and
ji half volumes and the National Libra
ry of Paris has two millions and a quar 1
