A snake ure now on giving a very large part of the profits of his big cotton crop for it. A Kentucky colonel is anxious to have his bourbon frozen in the original package and avoid the necessity of cooling it with iced “watah.” What a waste of time so suffered by those who are filling books and periodicals with illogical arguments to show that Shakespear did not write his plays! Cut bono? Prof. Serviss’ theory of the heat of the present summer is not en couraging. He promises lhat il will be with us four years more, be cause the sun, like the leopard can’t change his spots. The present King of England be longs to the house of Brunswick, the Guelph line; but are lineal de scendents of the Stuarts whose reign Cromwell split in two because there were so many fools in it. Ail the peaches we have seen were afflicted with some sort of insect bite that marred perfection. The insect pests are a great draw back to the comforts and progress of this life, and it requires science and vast labor to get rid of them. It does not necessarily follow that the Queen of England is a iow per son because she is no gentleman- But as to “Teapot” Sampson and gunner Morgan the question may arise which is the gentleman and which one has acted the iow fel low. The Southern negro is having ob ject lessons by the wholesale, con cerning the lov9 the Northerner* has for him whenever he hunts work up North. All he has to do is to try it and then he knows at once by experience (generally a sad one) what he can depend on. There were 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. Benj. Franklin, of Pennsylvania, was the oldest of them at 71 years; Edwin Rutledge, of S. C., was the young est at 27 years. One of Georgia’s signers, Button Gwinnett, was killed in a duel with Gen. McIntosh. This is a progressive age. We are always expecting other big things as well as billiou dollar trusts, and take only a day to won der at them when they arrive. Small things are scorned. Who would have thought that American genius could ever have gotten the thermometer up to 118? For a better mode of balancing the mental faculties it is recom mended that the use of the left should be equally cultivated with the right hand in educating children A nation of ambidextrous people would be remarkable as well as the first on record. There may be much in this, however, and ambidexterity would in (he long run rid the world of paresis, monomania and the like. In Sydney Smith’s time he was wont to ask, “Who reads an Ameri can book?” This satiric remark of course referred to the manner American literature was received and appreciated by English readers of the Sydney Smith period. I is not so to-day, for it is now said that with English book sellers, Poe’s books are more valuable than any others except Shakespeare, “The Crisis” is being advertised adroitly and people will read it to find that it is as sensational as “Richard Carvel” and farther than that from being the “great Ameri can novel.” The waste of money on the Churchill order of fiction can only have one commendable side; if keeps the money medium in a small way, in circulation and helps to keep off a monetary crisis. If you really desire to read anything now worth your while, wait until the awful overflow of the present deluge of turgid trash fl >ats by; in the meantime read again Haw thorne, Dickens, Thackeray and others of acknowledged classic merit. It will give your brain time to clear itself of the miserable rub bish which cheap magazines and newspapers have favorably com mended—for revenue only. y- strikes even when out of danger and when hid, The poisoned mouth of Sampson has endeavored to sting to death the reputation of Schley ever since Schley won the victory of Santiago Bay. The latest (and the climax) ol his malice was to induce an obscure feilow, one Maclay, to write a history of the Spanish war in order to inject into it abuse of Schley charging Schley with cowardice, with lying and us ing billingsgate epithets noiwilh- sianding the American people have proclaimed from one end of the land to the other that Admiral Schley was a victor and the hero of Santiago bay. This fellow Maclay is in the em ployment of the government and an obscure clerk in some depart ment of the Naval Bureau Suffice it to say Sampson has endorsed what he said, as vile as was the vi tuperation of this nasty wretch, to ward one of the most distinguished officers of the navj-. Now that Sampson has endorsed this abuse in what light does it place Sampson. Schley has demanded an inquiry because of this endorsement. His reputation would not have suffered if he had refused to notice either of them because the endorsement of a blackguard must come from an equally infamous blackguard and Admiral Schley is not called upon to notice such detestable conduct. But altho he has demanded the court of inquiry it can serve no pur pose; for it will not convince any one on either side no matter what its finding. The people know the fact®, have known them a long time and the public judgment is made up. The personality of Sampson is not sufficiently important to de stroy the reputation Schley ha> made; or to overwhelm his glory and overshadow Schley’s name. Sampson’s friends seem to be the creatures of malice; but. whatever they are they will insist always that malice should triumph, because Sampson wants if so. Admiral Schley has been goaded into demanding the inquiry; but the people would have taken care of his reputation against the small gang that have been pursuing him. Notbicg but a horse-whip could an swer Maclay and silent contempt such a base, shriveled up creature as Sampson. When, SampsoG, in command of a fleet, momentarily expecting the enemy to give battle, or attempt es cape from a pentup harbor, sailed away with one of the best ships of bis fleet, leaving it weakened in the presence of the strongest vessels in the Spanish navy, he wrote himself down in history as either a fool or a coward. Of course the enemy saw from the watch towers on shore that his only chance had arrived Sampson could have gone with or sent a dispatch boat to transact the business with Shafter which he gives as an excuse for taking away the JVew York, oi/8 of the beat ship- in our navy. With these faet9 he endorses the fellow Maclay in calling Schley coward and “caitiff” On (he other hand the Spanish fleet, wbiie he was away, was de stroyed. Schley was in command and his vessel, an armored cruiser, in th9 front, caught and helped (perhaps did) destroy the only ship of the Spanish fleet, the Colon, that could have escaped. His vessel, the Brooklyn, stood the concentrated fire of the Spaniard and received ail the wounds. Now who is the coward. HEALTH ABOVE ALL. Every stare in the Union should rigidly enforce health laws and make an honest effort to stamp out infectious diseases. By co opera tion we may be able, many bun dreds of us, to see the beneficial ef fects of such efforts.

Only one cent a day, think NEW SAVANNAH RIVER STEAMER ‘Louise,” the Greyhound of the Sa vannah Itivar, Is Hor Name. Augusla Herald, July 30. ihe new Savannah river steamer, “Louise,” arrived at the city wharf at 1:10 tc-day. in all her splendor. The steamooat, which promises to be the greyhound of the up Savan nah fleet left the Southern Trans portation Co’s, wharves at the foot of Abercorn street Saturday after noon on her initial trip to this city. Capt. W. T. Gib-son, general manag er of the Southern, was in com mand, and had on hoard a party of young people who enjoyed the trip and also a trip on the river to-mor row afternoon, in company with in vited guests. The building of the “Louise” marks a new era in steamboat building on the Savannah river, She is as complete iu her freight and passenger arrangements as she could well be made. She will be run regularly between Savannah and Augusta. The hull of the “Louise” is steel and was at one time the property of the multi-millionaire Lorilard, who died recently in New York. He used her for a houseboat until she was burned, when she fell into the hands of a shipbuilding company at Jacksonville. Capt. Gibson bought her to build the new boat for the Southern, and after having done considerable work at Jacksonville, brought the boat to Savannah for completion. Her interior finish is ia white and gold, She has excel lent state room accommodations for sixty nasseDgers. She is equip ped throughout with electric lights, and has modern sanitary arrange ments. In each state room are im ported stands for the bowls and p : c .ers. She a so has large freight- room capacity. Her estimated cost is in the neighborhood of $15,000. She is 136iT feet, long, 26 feet in the b9am, 36 feet over all, 5 feet hold She carries 176 net tons and has 20 state rooms, the officers quarters being on the upper deck. As the little boat pulled into the wharf this afternoon she presented the gayest scene that this end of tne Savannah had ever witnessed. The deck was lined with a bevy of beau tiful young women whose arrival brought forth a cordial greeting from those around. The “Louise” will remain Ia the ci ty for a couple of days. To-mor row afternoon the owners of the boat will treat their customers and friends with a trial trip down the river, leaving the wharf at 4 o’clock and returning about 8 o’clock. The trip from Savaunah up to Au gusta was made without a single hitch, and Capt. Gibsou expressed himself as highly pleased, stating that he thought she would surpass the expectations of her owners.
