DEBTOR! AND CLASSES. Macon, On., Dec. 1.—Editor Ooustl- tut.on: Of la.te there have been a great many failures la Georgia nnd ad Joining suites by merchants doing c general but, ness, Many „t these fail ures, in our op.nlon, c-juid Jiave bena avoided by the debtor lntorining bis creditors of the -ondltiou of bis affa and asking their utlvlco aud aid. - or,t.cal limes I ke the past few months have been, tbe tendency is to become alarmed. While there Is good ground for It, there is nothing gy neil by at once going to law and invoking tneaid of tbe court* to wind up their bus ness. This extreme measure should be tit last resort. Tlie credHor elis>, as rule, are lenient, and ample time and oven aid would be extended if a dlspo- s'tion were shown by tlie debtors of 'heir intentions to do right and a state meat of their affair* submitted show ing that they were solvent aud nitty needed an extension or some ass stance to pull them through. .Money is very easy at the money centers aud banks and lenders of money arc ieady willing to let it out to the South ,,r u uy other seotton, whon tJtey know it !i ttafe. This he ng the case, tbo whole- (talc merchants, especially tiios-- nlio nre well known and whose morrantil record for yoat* has been such as engender confldence, are in a position to render material benefit to their cus tomers. A man's good name is h’s greatest heritage on earth and all endeavors should be made to hold the same in tact, not only for Ids oovn Aik,., but for those who are near and dear and come after him. The flctpresnLon caused by the low price of cotton Is the worst tvt have had 'if year*, but Dt is being grad «a«y dispelled. The South, even with 4 1-2 owl 5 cents for cotton, is better off than the West, where, with low prices for their cereals, they are be* des covered w .tb mortgages. We must alt pull together and help one another and show what stuff the South Is made of by buckling down to hard work, pay ing off our Just debts and making tho best of existing circumscUmces. Wo know It is tho intention of every one to liquidate their Indebtedness and poo Ploarestraitring ovttry effort to do so. \\ hon they fall to pay out let them c.m- suit -noth their creditors, and lietovoen them dev.se tlio most suitable means for ehe manner In whfch tlieir d»bts ran be carried until another crop is mated or nrrangoiucnts made with local merchants' bnnks or factors to assist them.

'Phlney baited her trap with a piece of meat liberally smeared with honey, which was brought along for die purpose, nnd Joel Stafford said the "figure 4" was a "good un."

Sceqes From the Ocean Fl^pr and Discov eries In Astronomy. A short time ago a Frenchman brought himself to the notice of sclcntlflo natural ists by undertaking an exploring tour of the Red Sea, from which he brought back a strange and curious collection of fish ond sheila, embracing several spec) mens entirely unknown. Continuing his researches on tho coast of France, assumed a diver's costume to observe at the bottom of the sea the metamorphoses of certain mollusca impossible to cultivate In aquaria. He was struck with the won derful beauty of tho submarine land scapes. and resolved to photograph what he could, since a simple description would savor too much of an over-vivid Imagi nation. At first he worked tn shallow water with a water-tight apparatus, and tho clearness of the water allowed him sufficient light to sensitize the plate* But proportionately at the depth lncreas. ed clearness diminished, and the motion of the waves clouded his proofs. Then the young scientist conceived the Idea of utilising magnesium In an appa ratus of his own invention. This appa ratus consists essentially of a barrel filled with oxygen, and surmounted by a glass bell containing on alcohol lamp. On the flames of tho lamp, by means of a mechanical contrivance, powdered mag nesium is thrown, flaring as often as a view Is taken. The barrel Is pierced with holes on the lower aide in such a manner that as the oxygen diminishes the sea water enters, so preserving the equilib rium between external and internal pres sure. Beautiful submarine photographs, taken on the very bed of the Medltera- neen at Banyuls-sur-Mer, near the Span ish border, have been produced tn this way. Hardly a day passes now hut new and Important photographs are produced by cameras of ever-lncreoslng power. New stnrs have been revealed that were here tofore obscure from man. It Is difficult to realize how for these worlds are from One of the most popular and emi nent lecturers on astronomy Is Sir Rob ert Ball, who uses simple and graphic Il lustrations to give Mb hearers ideas of magnitude and distance. For Instance, he says, going ut the rate of the electric telegraph—that ts. 1S6.000 mires a second— tt would take eeventy-elght years to tele graph a message to the most distant tele scopic stars. But the camera has re vealed stars far more distant than these, somo of which If a message had been sent tn th* year A. D. 1—that ts to say.

One of fljo humors of heraldry Is to be found In the rule that a lion Is only a lion when he is rampant; in any other attitude he is a leopard, says a writer In the Cornhill Magazine. Most of the qualities represented by the animals are obvious enough, such as strength and courage by the lion, patience by the ass and rlellebration by the snail, but others are a trifle far-fetched, as politeness by -the crane, policy by the goat and sk 11 ip music by the hart. -Some of the heraldic monsters are monstrous Indeed. Few families .would care to bear upon their shield the Won derful Fig ot the Ocean or falcon-fish with a hound's'ear, still less the .Scar- lot Beast of the Bottomless Fit darn ing arms, or, as they are souet.mes called, allusive arms, have always been popular, and this is not surprising when when thev are so simple aud ap propriate, as, for Instance, three whelk- shells for Shelley, a rabbit for Warren- der, three trumpets for Call, or a liorso for Trotter. In tlie re’.gn of Henry VIII. family arms began to assume a more complicated nnd elaborate char acter, Insomuch that some of them have been compared to a garrison well stocked with fish, flesh and fowl. The adoption of a fior d stylo of hrmory was followed, as Bontell says, by the substitution of -pictorial representa tions, often of a frivolous and unintel- ligble description, for the simple and dignified insignia of true heraldry. The sarno writer describes a grant of arms made to a family named Tetlow tn 1700, which, iwlth thirteen other figures, included the representation of a book duly clasped and ornamented, having on it a Silver penny upon tvh'ch was written the Lord's prayer, while above the book hovered a dove with a craw- quill in Its beak. Th's was to com memorate one of the family having written the Lord’s prayer with a crow- quiii iu the compass of a silver penny. Although heraldic authorities have made no direct attempt to solve the vexed question, “When Adam delved aud Eve span, who was then the gen tleman?" Yet they' have assigned to Adam two coats-of-arms. Tho first, which was borne tn Eden before the full—when ho needed neither coat'for covering nor arms for dcfcnse-consls*- od of steel gules, upon which the arms of Eve (a shield argent) were quartered as an escutcheon of pretense, she being an heiress. The second coat, borne af ter the expulsion from tlie garden, was "paly tranche, d vlded every way, and tinctured of every color.” The use of furs In blazonry is, tt has been solemn ly asserted, a relic of the garments of skins worn by our first parents. The second man who lived upon the earth, Abel, was, we are told, a true gentle man—a proor that it docs not necessa- rly take three generations to manu facture tho article. Cain was “no gen tleman” by behavior, but he was the first man who desired to have his arms changed, "so God set his mark upon him." Nearly all the principal char acters In the Old Testament have been accredited with coats-of-arms. These are, as a rule, highly appropriate, ex cept In the case of Joseph’s heraldic coat, which was merely black tinctured with white—“a chequy sable and ar gent.,—whereas something arter the pattern of Adam’s second coat would surely have been more in keeping with tho youthful Joseph's favor.to attire. Gideon bore arms, sable, a fleece ar gent, a chief azure gutte d'eau; David a harp or In a field urgent; and Sam son, gules, a lion couchant, or, within an orla argent, semec of bees sable. Armorial ensigns are supposed to have received divine sanction, for God, when prescribing unto Moses the form of conducting the Israelites in the.r Jour ney through the wilderness, expressly commanded tho use of armorial signs, say ng, “The children of Israel shall pitch the.r tents; every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard."
