(UPID'S DECADENCE, Inancientda ys,when all was young, And Love and Hope were rife, Don Cupid fed on rustic fare, And lived a country lite. He rose betimes at break of day, And round the country hurried; Upstirring hearts that were unwed And soothing down the married. But then, on wider mischief bent, He hied him to the city; And finding much to snit his taste, He stayed there —more's the Py, Men bui't him theren golden house Bedight with zolden stirs; They feasted him on volden grain, And wine in golden jurs, They draped his pretty nakedness I richest cloth of go'd, And set Lim up ip business Where Love was bought and sold, And tlus he led a city li‘e, Forgetting his nativity; Since then he’s gone from bad to Whiese, From Cupid to cupidity. Evrcror Stock, - e GOVERXNER GORDON IN OHIO, Atlanta Journal. Governor Gordon has made two 8, eeches in” Li)—one in € incinnati ‘ and one in Portmouth—which cans | not tail to have a good effeet in the ! political gonvags now progressing in that state. In these speecheshe paid particular attention to the republican mispresentations and calumnies concerning the south, answered and re‘uted them in a manner which must have been con* l vineine to all but the blindest or most obstinate partisan. As Govs ernor Foraker had made misrepres sentations of the south and abuse of the president the staple of his speeches, while running for a state office, it was meet that his attempts hus to stir up sectional ill-fellings should be exposed by a distiuzuish ed reprsvatative of the section mis represeted and the party abused. Governor Gordon has done this in a manuer that entitles him to the thapks of the democraiic party everywheve. He has vindicated his state and his section, and shown that the attasks made upon them are tricks of paltry dema gogues, recklessly practiced for party or selfish purposes, iz visit to Ohio was most Gp portuneas well as commendable, There publicans were just striving to make party capital out " the vis it of Mr. Davis to Macon and the honor }, aid him there. Their jour nals were full of exagerations of some of the event's of his visit and whole eloth inventions of other stories that suited their purpose. Governor Gordon went directly from Macon to Ohio, and could and did tell the people the truth about the enthusizsm with which his old soldiers and the people gen erally welcomed the appearance of Mr. Davis among them for probs DAWSON, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER. 9, 1887. ably the lnst time. W hile he made no eringing apology for their man ifestatiom ot affection for the leader of the ““lost cause," he vindieated his people from the chorge that their eonduet was the outhurst of a spirit of disloyalty to the union. The republicans might have turn «d this event to their party advans tage but for Governor Gardon’s visit and speeches in Uhio, and he has done good work for tle democracy in spiking their guns at opeq, bt WIIAT REPUBLICANS SA¥ OF CLEVELAND. Within n week three Rej übli caiis 0f gieat prominence have ex pressed their own opinion of Mr, Cleveland and the results of their ’o'mcrvmim.sae to kis standine with the prop'e. Chauncey M. Depew ls)_\'s: “I think he has proved just }what. the country imagined him to ‘be when he was elected Presjiant —that he is honest, has good, spujd coinmqn sense, ang that he knew nothing whatever of the hus iness ot the government or the people accustomed to manage it.” Senator Don € ‘ameron, after trav | eling extensively through the coun try since Congpess gdjourned, says that he has been “‘surprised to ob~ serve evervwhere the feeling of “confidence and support in the Pres ‘ident, and that a]l the fears of the ‘people that the sure hizhway to calamity was through Demosratie success had vanished.” Andrew Carnggie, who had just returned from a toreign trig, in answer to a question as to what he thought ot President Cleveland’s administra tion, said: ‘I am a staunch Ree publican, but T wou'd be a vepy dizhonesi man if I did not say that I thi .k it har been highly eredit able.

Fhe question has often heen rais ed what proportion of ball, ex changed by hostile armies, will bit their marks and kill. Difficult as it is to solve jt exactly, some approx imation may be arrivedst from the number of balls —estimated at 20,000,000- -which were fired by the Geroans in the war of 1870-71, 'Fhe French army lost in the dead and woynded, about 140,000 mey. According to this only one ball oug of 143 fired hit its man, out of seven hit was acts ually killed it would seem that ' only one riffe badl in 858 proved Itatal. Itiv is fusther considerd that the namber ot men wounded and killed by the guos of the ar tillery are included in the above estimate, it may safely be said 'that none over one rifle ball in a thovgnd fired proved to be fatal, The Mexicans are preparing to properly celebrate the four hua dredth anniversiry of the diseoy ery ot America. at the capital of that country. the Duke of ver rogua, of Spain, is a legitima’s descendant of Christopher Colum bus, and he heartily approves of the celebration.

RAN FOUL OF A WHALE. % From the New York Horald, l “It's a school of whales, and they. iarc genuine sperms, too. Look at ‘em! Just see them spout!” The sige,glgqr was the first mate of the steamer Ailsa, Capt. San som. Tt was 3 o'clock o Saturs dry afternoon and the Ailsa, which arrived yesterday from Port Lime on, Costa Rico, was 220 miles south of Sandy Hook, in latjtude 36° 50%, longitude 74° 6',. The Ailsa had, of a trath, enters ed a szhool of whales, They were hopping up all around the vessel, their huge snouts looking like black shininz domes and their nos trils gapinz wide. The water was s swooth 18 8 millpond, “and the Ailsa torged as head at full speed. Sudlenly there was a slight treamor of the vessel. A huge sperm whale had grazed the bow on the port. sjde. A mo ment later there was a ghock and the vessel trembled like 40 aspen leaf from stem to stern. 'Fhe e mouster had passed under the Ail sa, and hee big propella had cut into his vitals, As the steamer passed on the whle rolled from beneath the ster his blood spurting fom the wonn?. Over and gver, like a gigantic anie mated log, he rled, twisting and squirming in agony. The sea was dyed red with blood for yards sround, oud lashed inta foam by the death strusgles of the dying giant of the ocean, The struzzle did not last long. The whale, with a convulsive shuds der, turned over and sank, The steamer continued on her way. She was not in the least injured hy ‘the collision, as the crew contin= ued to work regularly, and the motion of the engines and rmw!:ixa: ery was as perfect as before the collieing.
