The first new bale of cotton will be coming in before many days. Sony of the suspended banks are resuming business. The first bale sold in Albany at 9J cents. The prospective income tax has no terrors for the average Georgia editor. Congress convenes a week from next Monday. It seems now if home-rule for Ire land was assured. Naples has had 29G cases of chol era in six days and 138 deaths. The near approach of August Till, when Congress will meet, puts the country in sight of the landing. • Siam'wants peace and is willing to pay for it. Pay is what France wants and she is likely to get it. Thirty-five hundred destitute mi ners are being fed by charity in Den ver. The devil seems to be abundantly loose and well nigh ubiquitous in the United States.—Ishmaelite. It is to be hoped that the financial scare will be out of date before the cholera reaches our shores. In the South the negro pays three per cent, of the school fund and draws out twenty per cent. A cold wave has struck Dakota. Waycross would like to go her halves in the cold wave business. Hawaii seems determined to sugar- coat the annexation pill untill Uncle Sam swallows it. It is probable that the men who have been talking war in the West, want to run the sutler's tent. If Knglaud and Russia are drawn into the Fraueo-Siamcse erabrogUo, somebody will get hurt. The theinometer went up to 150 iu the shade in Wyoming yesterday. Is that, hot enough for you ?

The Russian exhibitors have had a quarrel with the management at Chi cago and have closed their exhibits. The king of Siam was educated by au American lady from Ohio. He is holding bis own with the French. , The Denverite^' are learuing that panic fires are dangerous to trifle with. The eastern war cloud is small but very black. These are the clouds that sometimes precede a cyclone. Two or three colonels are anxious ly awaiting The return of the Presi dent to the White. House, hoping to scoop in something. II. G. Turner is the cMioieC of the wire-grass region for Senator, and there should be drily one candidate from this section. It is thought that an increase in the. currency will bring prosperous times. It would certainly make some people happier. The late so called .“Lord Beres- t ford” is writing a novel to be enti tled. “From Palace and .Happiness to Prison and Misery.” The comet has disappeared, tail aud all. Comets, like the sheep of little Bo-peep ‘‘carry their tails be hind ’em.” Siam has yielded to France per force of circumstances. And thos it is, the big. fish gobble up the little ones. , Instead of being masters of the situation it would seem that the situ ation is about to out-geueral our lead ing politicians. What will Congress do? is the all- absorbing question. What can Con- | gross do? is another pertinent inter- i rogatory. / j Look out for a rise in the ther mometer when Congress meets. It is rumored they will make things warm. The jail at' Montgomery. Ala., contains 107 prisoners. Niue of them are crazy negroes. The only wonder is that the jailer is not crazy. The rumor of danger of yellow fe ver in the vicinity of Brunswick is simply ridiculous. Brunswick js all right and will doubtless remain so.

A grower who has cleared 8400 on almost any number of acres, is en titled to the admiration of his fellow planters. Only those who have sold on the track have come out safely this year.

It takes something stronger than coffee to brace the nerves of the average westerner in the present crisis. The Eastern factories are closing, down and the Western banks are closing up. The solid South remains in statu quo, and with plenty of hog and hominy on the hoard invites the world to come to dinner. Slowly but surely the gaunt spec tre of disease is again rearing its crest iu Europe. Great care should be takeuto prevent its spread to this country. Aud now it is charged that the Third party is responsible for this terrible hot weather. And the Third party say they intend to make it still hotter. i London is talking of a World’s j Fair in 189G and Paris wants to try j it again in 1900.

The relief fund ! for the dependent relatives of -the twenty-three firemen burned to death now amounts to nearly 8130,000. There is one thing certain. The Democratic party did not get the country into this financial trouble, and if they fail to pull out of it at once they should not be blamed. It is idle to speculate about wliat Congress will do. We are satisfied, however, that it will do its best to re lieve the country- The incoming power will be true to its pledges to the people. And now some of the northern pa pers are claiming that flic reason the South is not suffering from financial troubles is because she has uothing to lose. There may be something in that, as the girl said. The report that the Florida Cen tral and Peninsular railroad had been sold to the Plant Investment Com pany for 813,000,000 is emphatically contradicted by the officials of both corporations.

The box was marble or alabaster, about two inches square and closely sealed, when opened it was round to be full of a pomatum of grease., hard, but very fragrant. The sulell somewhat resembled tliat of roses, but was much more fragrant. Wliat the per fume was made ofcannot be coujec- tured now, but it is singular that men in the nineteenth century should be able to regale their noses with perfumes prepared in the first. The telephone bids fair to rival the telegraph iu many respects. Many of the railroads throughout the coun try have been experimenting with the long distauce ’phones, and they pro nounce them a success. The Pennsyl vania railroad has decided to dispense with the use of telegraph wires al most entirely m the operation of its trains, and to substitute long dis tance telephones. It.is said that the change is to be made in the interest of economy, the management having convinced itself that the telephone esu be operated more cheaply aud wit more simplicity than- the tele graph. ' . Florida Wanted Lower Rates. At a meeting of general passenger agents of railroads south of the Ohio river in Chicago a few days ago to discuss rates to the World’s fair, the Plant system suggested that in ad dition to the rate now in effect, tick ets with fifteen days’ limit at one fare for the round trip, and tickets with thirty days’ limit at one-and-a-tbird fare for the round trip should be put on sale, but the only action taken was an agreement to sell tickets at $5 less than the present rate, with a limit of fifteen days.

Georgia boy in the Constitution : Down at the Houston Post build ing, in a cozy sanctum, looking cool and complacent, I found editor «lolm- ex-Georgian, from llain- bridge. He is a cousin to Congress man Ben Russell aud a strip of all- wool Democracy off the same bolt of oods. He recalls his early journal istic association with “Uncle Remus” Harris on the Savannah News, and asks affectionately after his old chum. Editor Johnson has been in Texas about fifteen years and has made himself one of the chief factors in the journalism and politics of the State. There is a sort of Napoleonic suggestion of success about his p!n( ique and pose, and the prima facie* prophesies are not belied by the events of his career. He has made the Post one of the first papers in Texas. It is admirably served with news, closely and vigorously edited on the orthodox line, and is popular with a widespread and daily growing constituency. It was the Post that stood up for Governor Hogg in the last campaign--the only daily paper in the State I believe that did so— and it therefore was the only one that could crow rooster on the morn ing after the electoin. It was a wise choice aud made the Post the recog nized and trusted "organ of the regu lar wing of the Democratic party in in the State. “Rienzie” Johnson is still remem bered by many people in this section. He was a bright, brainy young man while living here and lie hits develop ed into .oae of the leading men in Texas. His South Georgia friends have watched his onward and upward course with pride and pleasure. Ritnzt Johnson is a nephew of Hon. Ben. E. Russell. all How «Ii»l He do it l Here’s a tangle for the school boy to unravel: “A man with a sack of corn and a fox and goose wanted to cross a river, but finding the boat so small himself and corn were all it could carry; the .difficulty then came up as to how to arrange to cross. To take the corn and leave the fox and goose, the fox would eat tae goose. To take the goose and leave her and return for either the fox or corn, neither of them would do to be with the goose. But he finally took all over, one at a time, without the danger referred to. How did he do it?”—Ex. ' Superintendent, IVadley Resigns. Superintendent Geo. D.
