It is not at all probable that she will put on the brakes at this stage of the game. The < Jeorgia legislature is not in ses sion and it may be that Atlanta will settle down to sober second thought. Atlanta's upper teudoin lias given Georgia the hysterics. The highflyers everywhere sooner or later strike the ceiling.

The free advertising given a town by a week ly newspaper is worth thousands to it. It is a pity the people cannot see it in that light.—Constitution.

The Redwine Escapade. 3Iost of our readers during the past week, have read or heard of the defal cation and attempted escape of Lewis Redwine, assistant cashier of the Gate City national bank of Atlanta. The matter has created the most intense ex citement in Atlanta and throughout the state. There is no doubt of Redwine’s guilt, in fact lie has confessed, but it seems equally certain that there are others among the high flyers of Atlanta, are jtarticcps crirnimt*. This is the generally accepted theory. A thorough investigation is now progressing ami no doubt the whole matter will lie sifted to the bottom.

Watkins is an old and trusted member of the house and has been selected for many years to conduct negotiations with the principal Chinese and Indian tea growers who control the markets of Can ton and Calcutta. “It is our rule,” explained Mr. Wat kins, “to visit the best plantations and arrange for the purchase of the new sea son’s crop while it is yet growing. It takes considerable experience to be able to judge of the probable quality of a crop during its early stages, as the tea plant is subject to so many vicissitudes before picking. If the crop does not come up to expectations, we are often losers, but the usual practice is to bar gain for the first offer, for which privi lege of course we pay a premium. Tho China tea, however, does not rule the market as it did before India and Ceylon discovered the fqct that they could grow several kinds as well as their Celestial neighbors. ‘All the best sorts, however, are still grown in China. Gunpowder, Hyson and all the high class green teas can he produced nowhere else.

Life learns from private sources that when a gentleman goes to an entertain ment to which bo has received an en graved invitation ho should wear a white waistcoat. If the invitation is written, he simply wears the usual black waist coat. It is perhaps unnecessary to in form our readers that the man who ig nores this rule is no gentleman. Still we hardly like to adviso a hostess to eject from her house every man whose waistcoat is not in perfect harmony with his invitation. It is not to bo expected, however, that his welcome will be as warm as if his waistcoat were what it ought to be. J Should he be, for instance, a distin-fl guished author, a hv;U church dignitary or an eminent scien: 7t, the hostess might allow him to sit i'.i \ he kitchen rather than have him ej««.el from the prem ises,—Life.

A few days ago the ancient “hostel- rie” familiar to readers of Dickens as the “Black Jack,” in Portsmouth street, dare Market, closed its doors forever, as the entire block of buildings surround ing it is about to be demolished. The “Black Jack” is the house to which Sam Weller escorted his master when that gentleman was in search of Lowton, Mr. Perker’s clerk, on which occasion Mr. Pickwick heard the story of the “Queer Client,” related by the mysterious law yer’s clerk. The “Black Jack” has for many years been a veritable mecca to the medical students who have successfully braved the terrors of the examination room, for it was customary for them to adjourn to its hospitable bar and duly inscribe the the names of the fortunate medicos in a register kept in the house for that spe cial purpose. Among the signatures to be seen are those of James Paget and Andrew Clarke, together with many others who have since attained celebrity. The death of the “Black Jack” adds one more to the ghostly taverns which have abounded in the immediate vicin ity.

This is the first veto of the present session. C. L. Carter, one of the Hawaiian an nexation commissioners, has returned to Washington from New York, where he •pent Saturday and Sunday.

Mr. Carter and his fellow commissioners—Castle and Thurs ton—will remain in Washington until the annexation treaty is disposed of by the adjournment of the senate, if not other wise, but they will do nothing to farther its consideration or ratification. Catholic Clergy Protest. Trenton, N. J., March l.—Six of the leading Catholic clergymen here are op posed to tye proposed bill providing for the turning over of the parochial school property to the state in return for an appropriation. They hold that nothing substantial could be gained by the scheme. The appearance of such a bill in tbe legislature will be the signal for an agitation greater than any that has shaken the state in years, as Protestants generally would be against it Impas sioned editorials in opposition to tbe project have already appeared in the newspapers. Washington. March 1.—Tbe sharp competition for the Mexican mission causes some comment. Kilgore of Texas, Blount and Pierce Yonng of Georgia, and ex-congressman William F. Robins and Whorton G.

Some western people are disposed to push Isaac P. Gray for tho job, and if he comes out why, of course the selec tion win be further complicated. It is understood that the senators have agreed with the Georgia members to hands off in tho matter of postoffice appointments, and leave them entirely to the members in the house.
