he bridals dress of the blushing
jiiwn, while in the back ground
.; folded the more sombre cloud of
l/p dark bine, enhancing the glory
jf the silver linings. So our bless-
o always brightened by con
trast. Ad nature was bright and
contented and was I ? I reineni-
lt , rt ,,l the verse in the Bible, “What
soever ye ask in my name believ
ing, that shall ye receive.” I
raved a gilt, and dreamed dreams
ike the immortal bards, dreamed
with my eyes wide open, and my
eases net asleep.
Poes one always have a longing,
nml yearning for impossibilities?
\n unquenchable thirst for knowl
edge? Daily, and at evening, when
the curtains of night were drawn,
uml the “floor of heaven was thickly
aid with platines of bright gold,”
die lair Luna gazed from her ce
lestial throne; I silently offered a
prayer, that my wish might he
granted, that 1 would possess the
ift, i so earnestly desired.
Uhl I believe in the efficacy of
prayer? Yes, most truly 1 did.
llher prayers had been answered,
then, why not mine. Did I pray
without ceasing? Yes, and the
ays glided by, and months in suc
cession followed, by the solemn
tread of years, rolling onward to
ternity. Still I continued my
plea until it became habit and I
irgetl thoughtlessly, and at times
unconsciously, almost indifferently.
What was my desire? It was
this—“the power or art of express
ing gracefully, and concisely the
unutterable thoughts that within
me existed. The faculty of improv
ing my ouo talent, and wielding the
pen of genius.” At last, in an un-
onseious, dream-like existence, 1
a beautiful room. The walls
were formed of exquisite white
flowers, the floor ff\as of gold, in the
enter of the room, was a great,
white throne, formed of precious
tones and pearls. 1 couldn’t see who
was upon it, for a veil concealed it
from view, but over and around it
was a treat light and no one dared
to approach too near. J heard llie
sweetest, softest music I ever imag
'd and I knew it was the heaven
ly chorus of angels. Looking close
ly, 1 recognized faces of loved ones
who died long ago. They were
among tlie angels flouting before t ho
great throne. Suddenly, I heard a
timid, sweet voice saying, “I am
r ‘Guardian Angel,’ and shield
her from harm on earth. I come to
make a plea in her behalf; have
mercy upon her oh, Heavenly Fa
ther, let Thy love shield her from
the world’s temptations. Iler sin
is not ambition, more than thought
lessness. Incline her heart to Thee,
good Lord, and help my sister.”
Then nil the angels sang, “Amen!
Amen!” 1 knew it was my precious
little brother, who lias been pray
ing for me. He was my ‘Guardian
Angel.’ I was so glad, and touched
at ids beautiful words and well-re-
membered voice, that I began to
weep. In an instant, everything
became invisible to me. i could
only hear the faint flutter of wings,
and the echo of faint music in the
air around me.
While 1 wondered at the sudden
transition from light to darkness, I
heard bis sweet voice close above
me whisper: “Big sister; there can
he no tears in heaven, and remem
ber love, that your words fly up,
J'pur thoughts remain below.—
Mortis without thoughts, never to
heaven go. When you guide your
i'en in the Master’s work, your
wish will bo granted.”
Xow, 1 understand why my pray
ers have remained for a .time un
answered. Idle, empty, words,
without thoughts, never to heaven
go!
I" dreams wo learn to know our
I' ne nature. If wo study our dreams
"e may otten he benefltted. 1 am

The total number, officers and
men, of white infantry, uniformed
and equipped, is 1,112. The number
in companies is 877.
The number of whites in tlie
eight cavalry companies is 393. In
the Savannah Hussars, the only
colored cavalry company in the
state, tlie number is 31. In the
Chatham Artillery and the. Jackson
Light Artillery, both white, there
are 128 men. In the Georgia Artil
lery, colored, there is a force of 23
men. This is a total of men, uni
formed aiid equipped, presumably
ready for service, of 2,877.
The force is well armed with guns.
The three artillery companies have
three available pieces. The state
owns two Gatling guns, received
from ttie general government, val
ued at $1,300 each. One of these is
in possession of the Chatham Artil
lery, and the other is in possession
of the Sixtli Battalion.
Of the total number of the men
on the military roster of the state
2,289 are in the infantry. The aver
age cost of the equipment of these
is $18 per man, making for the whole
force $44,102. This does not include
uniforms. Of this amount the state
of Georgia pays nothing, nor does
it contribute a dollar in any other
way to the support, ipaintenance or
encouragement of its military or
ganizations. What is received
comes from the general government
at the rate of $5,500 per annum, and
this is rapidly absorbed, often be
fore the state receives it. The
quota of the state for tlie present
year, not yet received, is already
covered by requisitions.
In addition to the infantry com
panies in the list already given
there are the Gainesville Volunteers
and the- Green Rifles, notice of
whose organization was published
last week.
Willie the state is just now un
able to furnish arms to ne\v com
panies which may organize, it is
proper to say that in case of war
with Mexico, there will be no
trouble about procuring arms.—
Undo Sam will bo only too glad to
furnish arms to all volunteer com
panies that may lie thirsty for Mexi
can gore.
Hinton Wright, who recently
wrote the Governor of Texas offer

from him this morning, thanking

V I(«>:iII11 Tu 1 Plenil.
The trial of the anarchists no\y
progressing in (Mileage, is rapidly
drawing to a close. The evidence
justifies the conviction of the de
fendants, and a verdict of guilt will
certainly he rendered if the jurors
do their duty.
Thousands of curious spectators
visit tho court room from day to
day, hut they do not go to stare at
the prisoners, 'l'hey have some
thing more attractive to look at.
Among the ladies, sets a women
whose infernal beauty milks lier
glow like a big red rose in a parterre
of humbler flowers. People look at
that dark and mobile face with its
magnetic lustrous eyes and turn
away with a shudder, and then they
look again. Plump but petite, with
flashing eyes, ripe voluptuous lips
and a cyclonic twist, about her tan
gled liair, this ravishing creature,
seductive and yet repelant turns
the oldest heads in the courtrooms
and keeps the jury in a muddled
condition all tho time.
The enchantress is Mrs, Parson,
the wife of the famous socialist. Klio
is a child of the tropics, of Mexican
and Indian blood, and her pretty
little head Is packed with social
istic facts and figures. Mho talks
musicfllly and eloquently about
nihilism and communism, and re
gards her husband as a hero. This
piquant siren with her “velvet
voice” and liquid eyes is the goddess
of anarchy. Mlie inspired tho men
who threw the bombs tit the Chicago
police. Even now her fertile brain
is busy plotting the destruction of
the moon-eyed capitalists who gaze
at her as they would the Circassian
girl in a dime museum.
With beauty and talent enough
to draw her little circle in the way
of peace and goodness, this remark
able woman has deliberately chosen
i a career of anarchy and murder.
Absolutely fearless, she stands by
the prisoners in their hour of peril,
and defies society and the law.
What will be her fate? She is pos
sessed of a legion of devils, amt the
time must come when they will tear
and rend her. Red death awaits
her and everything beyond is lurid.
Messrs. Johnson and Wilson Noon to he Suspended.
Washington, Aug. 11.—Repre
sentative Norwood went home to
day. Before leaving lie talked for
some time with the president about
the {Savannah Federal offices still
in the hands of the Republicans.
While it is understood that the
president made no definite state
ments, it is also understood that
the prediction made in the News
some weeks ago that Collector
Johnson and postmaster Wilson
\\;ould he suspended after the ad
journment of congress, and Messrs.
Wheaton and Lamar appointed
their successors, will shortly be
verified. It may iie some time
before action is had on Marshal
Wade’s case. The president lias
not at any time, as lias been report
ed, confronted any of the members
of the Georgia delegation who call
ed to him to make changes in the
Georgia offices with the civil
service reform resolution of the
Georgia convention.
If their effort to make as much
political capital as possible behind
the closed doors of tho executive
session, the Republicans of the
senate have, in at least one case,
overreached themselves. Early in
June the Republican majority of
the post office committee, in areport
on the nomination of F. A. Thomp
son to be postmaster at McCook,
Nebraska, vice A. B. Sharp, remov
ed for cause, winch was afterwards
made public so that it could be used
in the campaign, declare that there
was nothing m the charges against
Mr. Sharp to indicate any defect
in his official character, and that he
was removed solemnly for political
reasons. Evidently the Republican
senators who signed this report had
never even read tho papers. Mr.
Sharp was a Democrat appointed
by this administration, and subse
quently removed for being short
in his accounts. This rather impor
tant tact the Republican senators
ignored entirely.
Southern Uost masters Appointed.
Washington, August 10.—The
President lias appointed the follow
ing postmasters: Hiram Hnrhert
at Quitman Georgia, vice S. W.
Griffin, suspended; Martini J. 'fuck
er, at Okolona, Mississippi, vice R.
M. Tindall, commission expired;
Mary B. Johnson, Clarksville Ten-
nesse, vice William E. Green sus
pended; William Groome, at Vicks
burg, Mississppi, vice John D. Finny,
commission expired; Jefferson B.
Browne, at Key West Florida, vice
W. F. English, commission expired.
AUgllMtll'N Lockout*
Augusta, Ua., Aug. 10.—The
mills all closed down to-day, as the
Augusta factory hands did not re
turn to work. The Knights of
Labor are holding a.large meeting
to-night, with representatives from
other states offering aid. Four thous
and hands are out. The master
workman to-night made an address
counselling peace and good order
during the lockout. Many opera
tives aro said to have left the city.
There is no prospect of a settlement.
The Knights at their meeting to
night organized committees to see
that no harm was done tho property
of the mills during the lockout.
The Value of Timber I.units.
Atlanta Constitution.
Our timber lands havo ijevcrbceu
appreciated tit their true value by
their owners. Strangers and capi
talists have been gobbling them up
ever since the wur, and our forests
are being rapidly destroyed.
Lumber plays an important part
in all the affairs of life, from the
cradle to the coffin. The timber
supplying the ties and sleepers of
our railroad systems consumes the
growth of thirty years. It takes
900.000 trees to make our telegraph
and telephone poles, and it takes
400.000 trees every year to keep
them In repair. Ourlucifer match
es exhaust 300,000 cubic feet of the
finest pine wood evbry year. Shoe
pegs require 10,000 cords of wood an
nually. Every year 500,000 cords of
maple, beech and birch are turned
into lasts, boot trees, tools, otc. We
spend annually $15,000,000 for pack
ing boxes and $100,000 for wagons,
agricultural implements, etc. We
also export millions of dollars’
worth of lumber to foreign counties.
Our forests are too valuable to he
sold for a song, or wasted. We
must look after our timber interests.
Assaulted With a ( lull.
SyIiVania, Ga,, Aug. 11.— Mr.
Thomas Liglitfoot, an old citizen of
our county, living up in the 80th
district, was called out from his
house by a white man named Irv
ing Taylor, accompanied by one or
two other kindred spirits, and vio
lently assaulted with a club. One
of his eyes was knocked out and he
was otherwise seriously wounded.
The cause of the attack is unknown.
The warlike Taylor, his fellow-bel
ligerents having deserted him, was
arrested and tried before the magis
trate, and being committed to the
superior court for trial was brought
down and lodged m jail at this
place.

Navigating a Whirlpool,
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 8.—'Uie
turbulent water of the Niagara
whirlpool rapids were again navi
gated in a cask to-day, the perilous
feat being successfully accomplish
ed by two men. The voyagers were
\Vm. Potts and George Hazlott, two
coopers employed in the same shop
with Graham, who made the initial
trip about three weeks ago. The
barrel boat was ten feet long, coni
cal in form and built of the best lo
cust staves. It was supplied with
u keel, rudder, screw wheel and
turret with glass covered peep holes.
About three hundred pounds of saml
ballast kept it right side up most
of tlie time. The two men lay back
to hack while passing through tlie
more turbulent waters, clinging to
liadles made fast to the sides of the
cask. Each was likewise kept on
HI.s own side of tluyask by means
of a canvas sling made fast to sta
ples.
'Hie start was made from the
“Maid of the Mist” landing, on the
Canadian side, at 4:25 p. m. A row
boat towed tlie cask to a point just-
above Cantiliver bridge, where it
was turned adrift in the middle
stream. The novel craft was sub
merged about half the time while
passing through tlie rapids, hut
while cirfcumscribing the outer cur
rent of the whirlpool its occupants
thrust their heads through the open
ing and Potts calmly smoked a
cigar. A successful landing was
nrindo at Queenstown, on the Canada
side, five miles further down the
river, the entire voyage occupying
fifty-five minutes. The feat was
witnessed by 15,000 spectators.

The New York Sun strives to
bring the state of Rhode Island to
its senses by calling it an oligarchy.
This, all tilings considered, is a Very
mild description of a state in which
genuine Republicanism lias been
buried too long ago to talk about.
The Constitution has frequently de
scribed the situation of affairs in
that little state.
Let the reader imagine a county
about the size of Dooly packed with
a population of 305,000 persons. Out
of this number only 40,000 are qual
ified voters, and less than half of
these voted for governor on the first
of April, 1885. In tills beautiful
state there are nearly 13,000 native
born males oyer 2! years of age who
are not allowed td vote.
This shows that Rhode Island is a
very flue state. It is owned by a
few capitalists, and laws aro made
to suit them. If manhood suffrage
were allowed, as it is in, the South,
the state would be Democratic, but
there Is a property qualification, and
the result is that Rhode Island is
tlie only state in this country in
which tlie right of suffrage is denied
to the citizen.
Still, tlie laws of Rhode Island af
ford a good example of the right of
a state to control suffrage. Should
it ever become necessary in the
South to erect property qualifica
tion, we may have reason to thank
Rhode Island for clinging to the
doctrine of state rights.

City of Mkxico, August 10.—The
news of the sentence of Cutting was
received here without surprise, but
it is not generally believed that lie
will serve out Ids sentence. The
leading newspapers are discussing
the case in its legal aspects, and
without excitement. The daily or
gan of the legal fraternity of the
capital lias a long article on the
case, citing many • other similar
cases and a long array of legal
opinions, coming to the conclusion
that Mexico stands on sound legal
ground.
Sigio Diez Novo, a supporter of
tlie administration, takes the same
view and urge both govrnments to
adhere to tlie spirit of tho treaty of
Guadaloupe Hidalgo, which in its
31st article provides for the careful
and amicable adjustment of all
questions of difference, in ,tlio spirit
ot good neighborship.
The Sohllt'r’H It I n k.
Kingston, Ga., Aug. to.—Mr. J.
F. Hargis, of this place, durltig his
recent trip in Floyd county, stopped
over night with a Mr. Davis, who
lias in his possession a ring, a curi
ous relic, which ho obtained in i ho
following manner: lie says just
after'the battlo of Franklin, Ten
nessee, a friend and himself wore
walking across the scene. The
dead and dying were all around.
Passing among tlie fallen brave,
they saw a ring shining brightly on
tlie little linger of a handsome man,
whose life-blood had ebbed away,
and who was lying stiff and cold in
the arms of death. Each asked the
other to take it off. Neither had
the heart to do it. Finally Mr.
Davis told his friend if ho would
take it off lie would give him a quar
ter. Tho business aspect of tlie ease
induced his friend to do so. Tho
ring is of coin silver, flattened on
top in the shape of a heart, and on
it is engraved those words: “D. L.
Norwood, Co. K, 151th Ind. Vol.,
March 25, 18(15.” Mr. Davis wants
to give tills ring to those who have
a right to it, and if tlie relatives of
Mr. Norwood see this notice and
will correspond with Mr. J. F. Har
gis, Kingston, Gn., they can get the
ring by giving sufficient evidence
of their identity.
The Pall Mall Gazette reports a
singular accident at Woolwich. A
worker named Moriarty, who was
engaged in casting cannon, tumbled
into a cauldron of boiling steel.
The poor fellow could not be sep
arated from tlie fiery liquid. He
literally melted into the seething
mass, and the stuff was then cast
into a sixty ton gun.
What makes the matter worse is
the fact that Moriarty was a man of
peace, and conscientiously opposed
to war. It seems like the veritable
irony of fate to condemn such a
man to go through war after war,
exploding and hanging and slaugh
tering peonle without mercy.
The Moriarty gun ought not to be
used for tlie ordinary purposes of
warfare. It should be kept for giv
ing salutes, and trotted out only on
dress parade occasions. This much
is due out of respect to Moriurty’s
well known peace principles.
Some time ago the Atlanta papers
made a great sensation over tlie
grave robberies at Decatur com
mitted by George Vaughn, jani
tor of the Atlanta Medical College,
and Joseph Smith, colored sexton,
of the Decatur cemetery. Botli of
these parties have been convicted.
Judge It. II. Clark sentenced
Vaughn to three months in jail and
pay a fine of one thousand dollars
and costs or in default thereof to
serve twelve months on tho public
works. Smith, the sexton, who lias
been in )all since January and was
corrupted by Vaughn, was senten
ced to tlie public works 3 months
and to pay a fine of ono hundred
dollars and costs, and in default of
payment to serve nine months on
the public works.

If fruit-growers would practice
whitewashing their trees with lime
there would be less complaint of in
jury from bark parasites. It is well
known that white colors radiates
heat, while dark ones absorb it. I
have never seen any injury from
sunscaldlng or otherwise on trees
that had received a good coating of
whitewash. On the contrary, trees
thus treated always preserit a clean,
healthy appearance, the bark of tho
trunks and largo limbs presenting a
smooth, green, shining aspect.
