Thy sweetness on this desert air Is sadly wasted; The dews that on thy petals fall Go all untested.

An She Appeared In Atlanta—Iler Dresses and Collection of Clems aim Jewels. j tlanta ContlUul'ton] Mile. Bernhardt's dresses for Camille are elegant and costly. In the first actsho wears a white and gold brocaded satin,with square neck, which shows tho fragile Sara off in a manner which must be pleasing to the student of anatomy. The sleeves are short and long white gloves reach to the shoulders. A magnificent diamond neck lace dazzles the gallery gods, while some wraps, bonnets, etc., complete the rig out. In the next act she appears in a brocaded aud plain velvet and satin of different shades of red with a considerable amonnt of jet fringe to accompany it. She has a beautiful white plush bonnet which she handles with a recklessness that shocks the Indies. The country dress is of white mouseline delaine with ruffles of bretonne lace,corsage low with bouquet of gilliflow- crs. Another dres3 is of a cream velvet l>ainicd by hand with pink camillias, bnt- tcrllies and hummingbird*. There aro other things of taste and beauty. The diamond nvcklsce is very pretty. There are six ro settes on the front of the necklace, each having a 2-karat brilliant in its center, and the rest of the llowers being richly imbed ded with small stones. There are more than one hundred diamonds in each ro sette, and tho jewels appear like flowers of light when seen in a gas illuminated room. The rosettes are held together by strings of diamonds, which are plainly seen at tho ends of the necklace, and each flower may be unscrewed from tho chain and used for a hair ornament. The value of this neck lace is $1,000. Bernhardt has in all twenty dresses for her stage wardrobe, the cost of which was 7. r >,000 francs. Besides those mentioned for Camille, there are among the others for Adrienue Lccouvreur, all Louis XV. style, one toilet with ivory-satin train and front skirt of china-blue drapery, with garlands of red and fea roses, and Alencon lace on a painted bodice, Another toilet of bro cade silk, especially made in Lyons, with cascades of flowers embroidered on the rhirt, and the bodice trimmed with Bruges lace. The goods alone of this dress cost twenty-five hundred francs. Another dis habille toilet, all of satin and Languedoc lace. For “Frou-Frou.” ivory satin dress covered with embroidery of pearls and mother-of-pearl. One Lampaa dress with crimson flowers on a cream ground. One dress all of black satin and jet, low-necked, with a cuirass. For tho “Sphinx," one sen sational dress, with yellow satin skirt, black and jet waist, with two huge ravens upholding the skirt. A house dress of bro cade silk, with crimson and pale roses on a cream ground, and ruby satin train. SEB WEALTH 07 nEClors btonkh.

Scaltergood died at the residence of bis brother, W. S. Scaltergood, near Powersvllle, of typhoid pneumonia. Mr. Scattergood was an excellent young man, about 30 years of age, ol high moral char acter, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. B. Thomasville, February 15.—Thomas- ville is proud of her educational ad- vantages, and Tery justly so, having s male and female college, both of which have attained great popularity through out this portion of the State. Of these 1 will speak only of the former, it being a free school, aud consequently the at tendance much the larger. This branch of the State University, known as the South Georgia College of agricultural and mechanical arts, has risen very rapidly in popular favor through Southern Georgia and Florida. I begin with the faculty, that being the fountain head from which all the know! edge is supjioscd to spring, although would be truly an exceptional institution of learning did not some of the pupils think themselves fapable of instructing the teachers. The president, O. D. Scott, and the pro fessor of ancient languages, A. S. Mc- Swaln, had for several years before the foundation of this college given universal satisfaction as school-teachers, which they now continue to do in their separate dc partments of the college. Col. Ford, professor of mathematics, is very much liked and respected by all the students, both as a professor and as col onel of tho battalion. Tho two others, Professors J. F. Parker and J. H. Alex ander, graduated with honor at the State University in 1879, and were elected to their positions respectively in August, 1879, and Januaiy, 1780. They are young men of rare abilities aud very highly es teemed, both by the students and citizens. Tho number of students has steadily increased since the opening of the term, and lias now reached 175. A large part of them aro from Florida, and one or two from Alabama. All aro required to wear their uniforms regularly, and to drill one hour every day. They are divided Into three companies—A, B and 0—and the officers taken from among them. Col. Ford has introduced a good many military regulations, which will tend to the formation ot habits of regu larity aud neatness. The boys thus far have been very orderly, so that we have had all the advantages and none of the inconveniences attending a college. Students are allowed to travel over the Savannah, Florida & Western Railroad at one cent per mile, in coming to am returning fiom college. Board can be had at from ton to twenty pollars per month, and a few ot the hoys have rooms In the upper stories of the college build ing and get day-board elsewhere, saving them some expense. The average expense of the boys is about $15 a mouth, and with the present number of students aggregates more than $25,003 a year, which in a town of 2,500 inhabitants makes a very material bene fit. A chapel for commencement exercises is very much need aud will probably be built soon, as $5,000 has already been subscribed for that purpose. 8. C. 12:30 p, m.—The firm alarm was given about 11:30 o'clock when it was discover ed that the grocery store of J. C. Peters was on fire. This and the next one to it, both one-story brick buildings, were com pletely destroyed, and a two-story brick building occupied by W. W. Davis was very much damaged. The loss is very nearly covered by Insurance in the Man hattan Insurance Company. The houses destroyed were at the extreme northwest of the business part of town, raonda. The piece Is worn by Mile. Bern hardt in “Adrienne’ Lecoavrenr,” and is re markably beautiful. The stomacher is val uable on account of the metals and gems composing it, bnt principally because it is a sample of old English or Etruscan work now so rarely found. The body of the stomacher is of fine gold wire beaten ont by hand; it is 12 or 14 inches in length and 3 in width. Upon this space are set six cups of filigree gold, each con- taiiiing largo turquoises, emeralds and ra bies. Tho girdlo is studded with diamonds. Tho money value of the entire piece is $5,000, while to n collector it would be worth more than twice that sum. The stomacher is known to be at least GOO years old; it came originally from Indin and was in possession of tho royal family of Eng land nntil the princo of Wales, on the occa sion of MUe. Bernhardt’s appearance in Ix>ndon u being dissatisfied with the girdle she wore in tho rolo of “Adrienne Lecouv- reur” sent her tho stomacher and girdle which the princess of Wales afterward told Mile. Bernhardt to kNp,ll The diamond necklace of rosettes, sprays and leaves which is worn in Camille has already been described. A bracelet of alternate diamonds and sapphires, twelvo squares each, with four K-carat diamonds set in each square and a single 3-carat sapphire occupying each of the other squares, is a beautiful and valu able piece of jewelry. Tho valno of this single piece is $7,000. Another bracelet, consisting of twenty- four 2-camt diamonds, is a charming affair, and is estimated to be worth $4,000. There is a string of diamonds ono thou sand in number with a pendant, embedded with diamonds supporting a massive horse slioo of diamonds, tho metal being of the finest gold. The ornaments for the hair aro numer ous. A hugo butterfly, brilliant with dia monds and beryl-cut sapphires, with eyes of glowing red rabies presents a beautiful npjieamnce and cost $1,000. A bracelet in the shape of a serpent, with 200 stones, is valued at £4,000. A string of iiearls is vnluea at $2,000. A pair of buckles set with diamonds and sapphires is valoed at $1,000. A case containing seven bangle bracelets, each a delicate strand of diamonds set in solid fine gold, with large center stones of diamond, rnby or sapphires, is placed at ^•>,000, . A golden crown four inches long and two inches deep, with diamond and sap phire settings is a thousand dollar hair ornament. A crocodile bespangled with diamonds is vnlued at $1,000, and makes a pretty hair ornament. ^A bracelet of emeralds is placed at $2,- A $3,000 yellow diamond pendant holds a place in the collection. 4 crescent with five or six thousand dia mond* is worth $2,000. Besides these jewels Mile. Bernhardt has countless numbers of diamonds not set, and says she contemplates having a large necklace made to cost at least $50,000, and for that purpose is collecting brilliants wherever she goes. These valuables are earned in iron-bound packing cases of great strength. Mm and Around Byron. Byron, Febraary 15.—This morning while Mr. T. D. Warren was passing ovei his plantation near the railroad, about half mile above, between this and your city, lie found Prof. Abner B. Parrott lying near the road in a helpless condi tion. Mr. Warren came on to town, and, finding Supervisor Garr with his crank- car, procured his services and went for linn and carried him to the store room of W. Q. Feavy & Son, to a comfortable fire, but he was too far gone to be relieved. He died in about fifteen minutes after be ing carried to tbe store. Prof. Parrott was a noble man of fine feeling and education; had been known among our people for several years, and one of tbe best edu cators ever among ns, bnt, poor man, lie bad given himself away to drink, and as many of our good, unfortunate friends have done, given themselves away aud 'filled untimely graves. After his death, Prof. J. C. Parrott, bis brother, was sent for, and he is now making arrangements for bis burial, which will take place some time to-morrow—don’t know where as it lias not yet been decided. The deceased and his brother both were originally from Hancock county. B.B Scourge ol tbe Children IV hen once they have obtained the re luctant consent of their wives, writes Mrs. Stenhouse, of Salt Lake City, it Is astonishing how bright and cheerful tbe Mormon husbands become. “Notwith standing all they have said to the con trary, It is evident that poligamy Is no trial to their faith. Theysay that it is as great a cross to them as to their wives, put somehow or oilier they take very kindly to it.” The prevalence of diphtheria has crea ted alarm In the mindis of parents that is not warranted by tbe facts. Physicians in private practice as well as in public employ say tbat almost every ailment no ticed in a child is taken for diphtheria, and tliat diphtheria treatment is often hastily administered by anxious parents in innocent cases of cold. Tlieie are frequent calls at tbe office of the Board ol Health for a circular intended for free distribution, and which contains instruc tions as to what should be done when diphtheria enters a household. An em ploye of tho Board, of Health says that the most important part ot this circular is its description of the early symptoms of tbe disease. “Give heed,” lie says in his interpreta tion of this part of the circular, “the mo ment you observe signs In your child of uuwonted weakness, fatigue or physical debility, particularly if it is accompanied with a little fever. Make the child fre quently open its mouth, so that you can observe its throat. It is in the throat that tho lay observer will first discover any cer tain signs of diphtheria. Never mind how red or how much Inflamed the throat ap pears. That does not indicate the dis ease, Bnt the instant you see a white spot'and detect a bad odor, run for a doc tor. The white spot will grow. Other white spots will appear, and eventually they wiil run together in great blotches if the disease is not checked. Tho time to seek medical assistance is before the spots run together. Prayers were offered in many Roman Catholic churches on Friday for protec tion against diphtheria. The person who desired to guard himself against It by the efficacy of religion would kneel at the feet of the priest aud hold two lighted candles crossed against his throat, tbe flames ris ing at the sides of his face. While he was in this positiou the priest would offer the prayer. These candles had been blessed at the Feast of tho Purification on tbe previous day. Candles were held against tbe throats of children by tlieir parents,— Xew York Sun.

The evils attending idleness, vaga bondage and pauperism are of tbe most alarming character. This is a matter that has not received sufficient attention in Georgia. Oar penal system and pauper system are not calcu lated to utilize the labor of convicts and paupers to the best advantage. And there is another class deserving the strict sur veillance of the law. The State is over run with vagrants; our cities and towns are full of them. They tramp all over the country neighborhoods; they get their living by begging, swindling, stealing, and occasionally commit blacker crimes The devil finds work for these idle hands, but it is not tbe kind of work that will benefit the State. The labor of our vagrants and paupers properly directed, would be wotth a great deal, and tho employment of these classes would keep them out of mischief. If they arc not willing to work for a living, the law should compel them to work. The world does not owe them a living, aud they have no right to it unless they give something in return for it. The best thing that could be done at present for all classes would be to stringently en force the statute against vagiaucy, and make a clean sweep of tramps and beg gars. There is policy, philosophy and mercy in such a course. Chicago Timet.

Indianapolis Sentinel. Senator Butler, of South Carolina, is not an admirer of Senator Conkling, of New York, and he took occasion, recently, to give tho New York Senator and the country positive inlormation upon the sub ject. Of late Mr. Conkling has fallen very low In public esteem, aud when Governor Sprague sets in his testimony with regard to Conkting’s connection with his (Sprague’s) domestic difficulties, the Senate may regard it as becoming to kick Conkling into tbe street aud call up on New York to supply his place with a gentleman.

Considerable is being said just now about the suppression of the negro vote in the South. While it is true that there is in many paits of the South a kind of suppression of the Republican or negro vote, it is in keeping with the present sys tem of political party management. Take, for instance, the negro in his own party— the party tbat complains of suppression— It suppresses tlio voice of a million of ne gro voters in the whole Union by not ac cording to them, alter an almost unani mous request, a negro member of the cab inet. Suppression is but suppression, let it be in tbe selection of an humble justice of tbe peace or in selecting a cabinet offi cer. If colored men have a right to have a say in selecting Mr. Mackey to repre- sent a district in South Carolina iu Con gress, they have a right to say something about who shall represent this section In the cabinet. If tbe Republicans suppress in tbe latter, tbey must expect others to profit by the example. Atlanta Constitution. gWliat we hope to make clear, if not now, then at some future time, Is, that the questions, and problems, and policies which are of the most pressing im portance to the South (as well as to the whole country) are not necessarily of a party, and certainly not of a partisan, character. It Is just and proper tbat we should Join In tbe struggle as to which party shall control the government, and that we should support the men most likely to use their power and authority to the protection of those principles which seem best adapted to the genius of our system, the stability of our institutions, and the happiness of the people. But we desire to make clear what appears to us to bo a most impressive fact, namely, that the problem with which the South Is most vitally concerned Is not control ol the government, nor even participation In hat control. It is for this reason we have insisted, and shall continue to In sist, that the true Southern policy does not lie in the direction of the strenuous partisanship which has heretofore pre vailed. Ft Wayne find J Gazette. “Brain is the standard by which all the selections should be made aud doubtless will be; the selection of a man because of his color or nationality is not Republi can, it is un-American. If the colored citizens are not represented in the Cabinet by one of their own race, it is to be hoped tliat they will not feel that they are not represented at all. The Republican party has long since pledged itself to the mil lions Us bayonets made free, and their needs will be considered atall times. The selection of a Cabinet without a colored member will mean no disrespect or danger to the race. It will simply mean tliat a better man lias been found, one more fitted to the work at his hand, than would be either of the men chosen by the colored leople, and in this selection, which will >e for the good of the whole people, none will more quickly concur, we believe, than the intelligent portion of the colored race.

He is paid for work that he did not do; and he received the money joyfully, and without aay compunction of conscience. The very essence of honesty, in any trans action of this character, is that a man shall give value for what he receives. It may be very true tbat some Congressmen serve tbeir States best by absence, and yet does not seem the. proper thing that such absence should be rewarded, en though it should be involuntary. It certainly is an outrage on the rights of the people that contestant and eonteatee Charleston Newt and Courier. The crop of 1880-81 Is belived to bo the largest ever made in this State. This will enhance the reputation of South Caro lina as a cotton growing State, and, un less prices go very low, a crop of a mil lion biles will be produced within the nest ten years. There is in cotton cultivation in South Carolina a feature the value of which has not been generally taken into ac count. This is, the certainty of at least a partial crop, a total failure never taking place. While tbe natural yield in Sout t Carolina is not equal to the growth ou the virgin soil of Arkansas and Texas, the yield here ean be made as laigo by high culture and liberal mauuring, with out tbe liability to disastrous seasons which characterizes the States which, at the first glance, appear to be favored more highly than the South Atlantic group. IfeeoMltjr ot Better Tax and Election Laws. We are pleased to see an earnest inter est mauiiested throughout the State to cor- red an inexcusable evil that is yearly growing more intolerable. At eacli session of tbe General Assem bly an act is passed to levy an ad valorem tax upon real and personal propsrty for the support of the State government, the payment of interest and part of the public debt, also certain specific taxes for tbe support of public institution, etc. No provision of any consequence, how- ever, is thought of for enforcing non- property holders to pay the specific tax of one dollar for educational purposes which is levied upon all male inhabitants of the Stale between twenty-one and sixty years of age, unless that only those who have paid their taxes for the year preceding the election are qualified to vote. Tho inten tion is not as some imagine, to make man pay one dollar for tho privilege of voting, but to inako all assist in rolling along the great wave of public education, which is intended to fit men for exercising the right of suffrage. How terribly is this beneficent feature of the law prostituted! We find upon in vestigation tbat about ono thousand ille gal votes were cast in tbe lost State and county election, and that between three and four thousand men in Bibb county Lave never paid a single dollar of poll tax So lame is the law governing elections, and so disgustingly is it violated, tbat and so disgustingly is it violated, tbat even candidates look upon a race for oflico with the greatest dread. There being virtually uo political Stato parties in Georgia a candidate iu addition to going through a bar-room campaign is forced to pay two-thirds of the poll tax tbat goes into the hands of the tax col lector, and after being forced to resort to every dodge known to political can vassers and this great expense, ho is in danger of being subjected to au unfair contest by his disappointed opponent and Keeping the community in a turmoil until the contest is decided. If this slate of affairs continues, only such men as can handle this immense floating vote will dare to run for olliee. To remedy this great evil, and to fill our offices with good men in the future, we stand in need of a general registration law with the strictest penalties attached, such as is in force in somo of our leading cities and other States. We suggest no particular sya istratlou, but are strongly iuipr&jscd with tbe idea tbat tlie State should distinaSy assume tbe entire responsibility. For In stance, the tax-receiver should be instruct ed by law not to enter the name of any non-property holder, white or black, upon his digest who has failed to pay his poll- tax for the preceding years, and all the names entered by him on said dglest should constitute the registry. The tax-collector should bo required to closo his books on the first day of Decem ber, for it is much easier to pay taxes be fore than after December, aud by the fif teenth of tbe month should have every ex- edition against property holders as well as poll tax payers m readiness to turn over to tbe sheriff of the county, and fur ther furnish to the clerk of tbe Superior court a list of all those who have paid the taxes required of them. No one on tho default list should be allowed to vote un til he has had a settlement with the sher iff: The sheriff should bo required to give the clerk timely notice of all settlements in order that such names might be added to the list or qualified voters. Two- or three days before an election tho clerk should close his registration book and refuse to receive the names of any other delinquents, to better enable him to prepare a printed list of voters for the election managers. Those just ar riving at age and those over age, not liable for poll tax, should also be re quired to appear before tbe clerk aud register. Each voter should be required to vote in his own militia district, and as ho votes his name checked off the list by the managers. Those officers should be reasonably compensated for this extra duty. A strict law of this character would purify our elections and greatly facilitate the collection of the various taxes. Darby Tackles the Spanish Outrages, ■Marla,” said Darby, as he laid down the paper, “it makes my blood boil to read about tbe way the Spaniards insult our government. Do you know that they bang away at tbe American flag whenever tbey choose, and do so with perfect im punity?” ■ “No, I don’t know anything about it,” replied his wife; “let them shoot each- other if they want to.” “Let them shoot each other,eh!” growled Darby. “Let the goggle-eyed, saffron- colored, handy-shanked Spaniards shoot into our ships on the high soas ? Why, Maria, I am surprised to hear you utter such sentiments.” “Look here, John Darby,” snapped his wife; “I’ve got too much work to do to waste auy time in watching what the Spaniards or the Chinese are doing. Whon I get through cleaning up this house during tbo day, and lugging you up the stairs- at night, I don’t feel inter ested in the affairs of the nation—not much.” “ ■Maria,” said Darby, as he wheeled his chair around in disgust, “when I cease to be patriotic I want to die.

Berlin, February 16.—Tbe Emperor William’s speecb,read at the opening of the Reichstag yesterday, contains au impor tant appeal to the working classes, which may be expected to influence the elections which will probably be held in June next. Tbe Emperor says the remedy for socialist excesses must 6s sought not only lu repression but equally in positive at tempts to promote the welfare of the la boring classes. His Majesty says he hopes tbe “workmen’s accidents insurance” bill will be welcomed by the Reichstag as a complement to the legislation against so cial democracy. Ia the aame category is the bill to regulate tbe constitution of trade guilds by affording the means for organizing isolated bodies of persons en gaged in thh same trade, thus raising their economic capacity and social aud moral efficiency. Tbe speech announces that the bill for biennial budgets will be again presented for the consideration of the Reichstag,the allied governments still suf fering from the difficulties inseparable from the simultaneous sitting of the Im perial and provincial parliaments. Purnell Is tbe Uriah People. London, February 16.—At a meeting of the Land League in Dublin to-day, a letter from Mr. Parnell was read, in which he says : After frill consideration and consultation, I hare decided it to be my duty to remain iu Parliament and Ireland during the present crisis. If we are worthy of the occasion here, tbe American people and the Irish nation in Ameiii will give ns proportionate sympathy practical help, while tho slightest ili: ing or reaction in Ireland will pi disastrous results in America. Ti pelled Irish members have almost iinously decided to remain in tlieir iu Parliament, and offer every res tbat the forms of the House wiilpei the coorclou and arms bills,hence the d'etat of the passage of the gagging Iution is most encouraging. I can also* of some use daring the passage of tbe 1 bill, in pointing out In what respe may fall short of a final settlement. “Two courses were giveu to tho Irish party: either to retire in a body from the House and announce to their constituents that nothing remained but sullen acqui escence or an appeal to force in opposition to that force which is used against us, or else to steadfastly attempt to deepen aud widen the agitation by appealing to the great masses of Eugland and Scotland against the territoiialisin and sbopocracy which dominate in Parliament. The last aL'ernative has many elements of hope. There Is nothing Iu the coercion bill to compel tho Irish to modify their attitude of open organization and passive resis tance. The government doubtless rely much on the intimidation produced by the first arrests, which would probably be widely scattered but not numerous. The future prosperity of Ireland, probably for generations, depends upon the tenant Farmers remaining firm in their refusal to pay. unjust rents and to taka evicted farms. If they waver, thev will prove that they are only fit lor slavery.” Tbe BrltUh Parliament. London, February 16.—in tbe House of Lords last night, Earl Cardogan asked whether peace negotiations are proceed ing between the, government aud the Boers. Earl ICimberly, colonial secre tary, declined to state what negotiations are being conducted. Lord Beaconsfield' expressed the opinion that danger might arise from negotiations with belliger ents against whom we are not yet success ful in war. — - London February 10 The Daffy Neva, in a leading editorial article this morning, says the Cabinet met yesterday on a somewhat hasty summons to consider proposals of negotiation from the Boers. Though the proposals are vague and gen eral, they were nevertheless regarded by tbe government as affording at least a starting point toward a discussion of the terms of au aibicable settlement.

The forms uuder which it is professed may decay, for they, like all that is the work of man’s hands, are subject to the changes and chances of mortal belug; but the spirit of truth is Incorrup tible; it may be developed, illustrated and applied; it can never die; it never can decline.
