The government troops are no match for the well organized troops of the rev olutionists under the ex-president Zaralla. They are well equipped and have a supply of Gattling guns. The government troops number 2,000 and are poorly organized. The revo lutionists have 3,000 to .0,000 troops. Speedy recognition from the United States is expected. The canal prop erty will he protected. China proposes to retaliate if the heathens are driven from this country. It is said on what purports to be good authority, that if the Chinese exclusion act is carried into effect and Chinese are shipped from this country to China, de ported simply because they are hear without taking out certificates, that Americans in China will be likewise de ported from that country to the United States. The esteemed Macon Telegraph, influenced by an Alabama third par ty organ’s appeal to a continuance of the populist party, urges the thor ough organization of the democratic party in the souths The damocratie party in the south is always ready for the bugle blast.

He passed the law There is no to-morrow for nnv living creature; the future is as much beyond our reach as the buried past. It gives cup of blessing; it adds not a single opportunity for gixid or evil to the strug- ;lmg hand.

The two great actors have the sympathy of the public. Michigan by a recent law lias given' the drunkard the adternative of pay ing his fine or taking a gold cure. It’s a costly experience at the best. • Wall street undertakes a big job when she tries to squeeze the American people with the democratic party in power and a three bnndred pound captain in charge.

Mathews performed the ceremony, after which a reception was held at the hospitable home of the bride’s parents, on Court house square, where the bride and groom received the congratulations of friends. A large ta ble in the reception room adjoining the parlors was laden with many choice presents. The time was spent in social conversation, enlivened by some choice selections of music rendered by Miss Lucy Twitty, until II o’clock, when re freshments were served, and soon after the guests departed. The bride and groom left on the 12 o’clock train for Savannah. From Folksfon. The farms in the immediate vicinity of Folkston are in a thriving condition.

He who made the heart and knows ail its hidden springs has given the recipe for present peace in the in junction we paraphrase: “Have no anxiety about to-morrow; sufficient unto tlie day is the evil thereof.” If we j,. u j the gift of second sight and could look through the hiding veil, it would only increase the cares that oppress us. It i 3 a merciful providence that mantles the coming hours and hides from our keen est vision that which befalls us. The trustful spirit has the only secret of con tentment and unbroken peace. There is a lesson of practical wisdom in these thoughts applicable to the pres- enUiour. The financier whose nerves are quivering because the- secretary of the treasury is redeeming the greenbacks with the gold laid by these many years for this very purpose is drawing on the future for his fear. If the gold should nil he paid out and the deniand.continue courts i„ one of the cities of the empire and noticed a fine statue placed in front Of the building. ••Whom does tins statue represent*” he inquired of a passer-by. “Why Justice, of course!” “How sad’’ ex claims the Jew, heaving a profound sigh, “that Justice should he relegated to the outside of the edifice and be al together excluded front admission with- A Mr. Goldsmith became a convert to Christianity. He thought it advisable to adopt a name with more Gentile ring and dubbed himself Mr. Smith. “What a fool!” exclaimed a member of the congregation on hearing of the change; ’ that is the first Jew who has thrown away his gold.” Fire Alarm. The fire alarm was sounded yesterday afternoon at about three o’clock, and the multitude poured forth like a swarm of bees. It was soon discovered that the blaze was at J. W. Johnson’s mill near the Air Line depot. A pile of Slabs had caught probably from a spark and was extinguished before any seriouX ~ harm was done. Miss Lizzie Mills, of Kingston, Ont., opened her mouth to yawn, while preparing an early breakfast, and her jaw became paralyzed, and she has not been able to close it since. The doctors are in a quan dary.—Ex. And now all the mar ried meu iu Waycross are trying to get their wives to yawn. The order dismissing further inter views with seekers after office is be ing condemned as a mistake by Pres ident Cleveland. It is never a mis take to repel an insurrection.

Senator Vest of Missouri savs President Cleveland would veto anv free coinage law congress might pass, and that there are not free silver men enough m the Fifty-third congress to pass such a law over his veto. Health Officer Jenkins declares no cholera will enter the port of New York this year. A certificate of veracity of the health officer would ■be worth a great deal to the country just now.

There are but two men living who served as members of Mr. Davis' cabinet: John H. Reagan of Texas, who was postmaster-general, and George Davis, of North Carolina, who was attorney-general. Belva Lockwood, the strong mind-, ed, is lecturing on, “Is marriage a failure?” If all girls were like minded to Belva it would be a fail ure. indeed. But thanks to Provi dence she is not a representative type of woman. Oh, no.—Valdosta Times. The democratic party is now in full control of the federal govern ment. It goes without saying that its policy is embodied in the Chicago platform, viz: Tariff reform, free coinage of silver, and the repeal of the ten per cent tax on state banks. It is a singular fact that the wom ans department of the world’s fair management voted almost unani mously in favor of opening the fair on Sunday. We are disappointed in the ladies. The Police Commission of Bruns wick dismissed Policeman Wiggins and suspended Policeman Wilchar yesterday, for failing to call, a phy sician to dress the wound9 of s man who was carried to the Station Sat urday night. The city has been greatly excited over the matter. The Mississippi river seems dis posed to desert Memphis and the new bridge and take a new cut through Arkansas. The town is evidently getting tough when the “old Massassip” wants to pull away —Post. Ben.

It would be difficult to conceive of anything more unreasonable than the erv that the State banks would be wild cat hanks, or that such would be the character of their circulation. No reas on cxisu why the banks authorized by the State should not he placed under the same strict supervision as national hanks and made equally as safe in all respccU.” He’s All Pnt Out. The Herald reportor encountered a young man of the city this morning whose woe-begone countenance indica ted that something had gone wrong. Approaching him in as delicate a manner as possible he asked, “Why this thusness ?” In reply the woe-begone young man, handed the reporter the following touching lines: I always like as cool a breeze, As is in bounds of reason. But I don’t like to sec it freeze Bight in the summer season.

Brown, an employee of the Nichols Manufacturing Company, at Nichols, on the Air Line R.R., was shot and killed last night by a negro named Ephraim Melcher. It seems that Mr. Brown was having trouble with another negro when Melcher drew a pistol and shot him through the body, without warning and without saying a word. Mr. Brown lived only a few minutes. The negro escaped and had not been captured this morning. Mr. Brown had had no trouble with the negro who shot him, and did not speak to him all. A reward of $200 is offered for the capture of the murderer. Hohenstcin & Co. Great Scott! I had to sleep under three .
