Ho bright-eyed girl, although she once waa

And since hri3 drawn, with soft, artistic

The wrinkles that reveal her gentle sow.
Kind charity—that almost seems to cheat
Her hate of sin by loving still the

Beams from her eyes—gray eyes—that, soft

Scarce hint the depths of tenderness

She always sees some good in every one;
And so each feels for her esteem a

Her passing sheds a radiance like the son,
And yet she does not know she makes ns

Sweet, sympathetic face! In smiles or

The Atlanta Post-Appeal says the to
tal loss by the fire at Conyers, Wednesday
morning, foots up about $30,000, with not
more than $4,000 insurance.
Mb. Samuel Spekceu, formerly of
Columbus, and now third vice-preaident
of the Baltimore and Ohio railway, has
been elected president of the Virginia
Valley railway.
One of or.r city subscribers, says the
Columbus Enquirer, “married ou the

Bubo labs are burgling in Marietta.
The Marietta Journal tells the follow
ing : At the opening ceremonies of the
Atlanta Cotton Exposition Wednesday,
the 5th Inst., we met a wonderful living
curiosity. An intelligent Hew York geu-
tlemau piled u» with questions and de
sired us to point out some promineut gen
tlemen present. After we had singled
out a few, the pleasant countenance of
Senator Joseph E. Brown came in view.
We turned to the New Yorker and said:
“That gentleman there with white beard
la Joe Brown.” He replied: “Who is Joe
Brown?” Astonished, we looked at the
earnest speaker and inquired: “Have
you never board of Joe Brown V” “Never,”
said he. “Why, sir, he fsone of Geor
gia’s most remarkable and prominent
men. He has been four times elected
governor of Georgia, is now United
States Senator, and the richest man in
the State.” “Well,” said he, “I never
heard of Joe Brown before.” Then tak
ing a good look at “Uncle Joseph,” he
exclaimed: “He resembles Horace Gree
ley.”
The gin house of Patrick & Nutt, in
Spaulding county, was burned Tuesday
evening, together with fifteen bales of cot
ton. Loss $1,500. The telegram to the
Atlanta Constitution giving the above in
formation adds the following:
A strange snake story is reported here
to-day. Last Tuesday evening a small
boy waa driving a horse attached to a
wagon, two miles from the city. When
near Mr. James Beatty’s a huge rattle
snake commenced to chase the horse,
striking violently at him. The hone ran,
for a quarter of a mile, against fences and
over rocks and stumps, the snake still in
pursuit, and the boy holding on for dear
life. The anake finally gave up the chase,
and was afterwards shot hy a man. The
reptile had fifteen rattles, waa eight feet
long and as large as the calf of a man’s
leg.

The Columbia Local Option Law
Unconstitional.—Some days since we
mentioned the constitutionality of the lo
cal option law in Columbia county had
been brought in question at the fall term
of the Superior Court In Columbia coun
ty. Judge Suead haa just rendered his
decision adjudging the act unconstitution
al, and we will preface the text of his de
cision with a statement of the facts in the
case. Mr. Edmund Kelly applied to the
ordinary of Columbia for a llceuse to re
tail liquors, aud complied witb all the re
quirement! of the law in such cases, ex
cept that he did not accompany his appli
cation with the written consent of the
granting of such license of two-thirds of
the freeholders living within three miles
of him, as required by the actof February
28, 1678. For this reason, Hon. Geo. D.
Darsey, the ordinary, refused to issue the
license; and Mr. Kelly applied for a
mandamus to require him to do so, al
leging that the act of 1670 was unconsti
tutional.
W. C. Wisdom’s gin house, in Harris
county, was the last one to go. He lost
fifteen bales of cotton, on which there
waa no insurance.
Toe Augusta Chronicle says the direc
tors of the Georgia railway met Tuesday
in that city, and passed a resolution fixing
the regular quarterly dividend at 24 per
cent, unless otherwise ordered hereafter.
Mr. Geoige P. Bntler tendered bis resig

ill health. The resignation waa accepted,
and Mr. Charles G. Goodrich, the assis

As Army of Dead-Heads—Up to

over two thousand photographic free

number will probably reach about five
thousand. Truly a small army or dead-

opening day. Instead of $3,000 less than
$2,000 were taken in at the gates. The

amount to about three thousand persons.
On the opening dsy some three thousand

McCook, iu this county. Mrs. Nancy
Parker, another sister, on learning that
Mrs. Watson had ccme over to Mrs. Mc

of both in a few hours of each other.

A Young Girl’s Pluck.—A gentle
man from an,adjoining comity relates the
following: !a beautiful young lady,
whose name i shall not give you because
sbe is as moqesl and unassuming as she
is pretty and plucky, was sitting under a
crane harbo’ one suitrv afternoon re*
grape harbo' one sultry afternoon re
cently, reading. Probably sbe had been
there over arj hour when she felt some
thing drop LjJavIIy on her lap. Turning
her head she; beheld a large snake with
head raised, Hooking around with appa
rent surprise. Before tbe lady had time
to be scared, sbe boldly and quick as
lightning threw out her hand,
grasped tt>e snake close up be
low the head- and squeezing it
as tightly as she coutdffcrose to
her feet with eyes glistening, lips com
pressed, and : a determination to save her
life, by taking that of ber natural enemy.
Sbe did not shriek, nor'faint, but taming
around, locked about for something to
mash the reptile’s head. The squirming,
twisting and struggling beast was very
strong, and jerked ber thoroughly around
whenever it’could get enough of its long
body on the ground to exert its strength.
Presently she felt that It was drawing its
head through her hand, and she quickly
caught hold with the other one below
where she held. Then thrusting her re
leased baud into her pocket, drew out a
small knife, opened it with her teeth, and
deftly cut the snake’s head off*.
Negro Shot.—We learn that Mr. Jno.
D. Brown, of the 28th district of Sumter
couuty, got into a difficulty with one Sea
born Clark, colored, last we6k, about a
hog, and shot the negro’s jaw off*. The
bog, we understand had been in Mr.
Brown’s field for three or four months
and he had notified tbe negro to keep it
up, but he w ould not do so. On the day
of the shooting the negro was looking for
his bog, carrying a gun, he run up on Mr,
B., who was bird bunting, we believe,and
told him be wanted his hog. He was told
that be could not get llie hog unless he
would pay for the damage it had done.
He retorted that he would have the hog
and wouldn’t pay. He then presented
his gun as if be was going to shoot, when
Brown let him have his load of bird shot
in the jaw.

A Change in the Railroad Com
mission.—On yesterday by executive
order Governor A. H. Colquitt appointed
Colonel L. N.Trammell railroad commis
sioner in place or Colonel Barnett—tbe
time lor which that gentleman was ap
pointed expiring on next Saturday. Col.
Trammell is a gentleman of acknowl
edged ability and prominence, and is
thoroughly in accord with tbe objects and
policy of the railroad commission. In a
public career of over twenty years no offi
cial act of his has ever been criticised or
questioned. Col. Trammell was very
strongly backed for tbe position of com
missioner. He will enter upon his duties
on tbe 16th.
Contracts Closed Contracts were
closed yesterday for the grading of the
extension of the Northeastern railroad
from Clarksville to Tallulah Falls. Sec
tions 8,9 and 10 were awarded to A. W.
Thompson A Co.; sections 11,12 and 13
to E. M. A G. W. Clayton; sections 14,15
and 10 to Rice Sc Coleman; sections 17,18
and 19 to Martin, Shea Sc Co. All these
contracts are to be completed by June 1st,
1882, so as to allow tbe track to be laid,
and trains to run to Tallulah Falls July
1st, 1SS2. This important work is under
the supervision of Col. G. J. Foreicre, in
whom the people have the most perfect
confidence, and this statement will be
accepted as a guarantee that the work
will be pushed through according to con
tract. The Northeastern extension will
be pushed from Tallulah Falls on to
Knoxville, and will thus complete a most
important line. The grading between
Rabun Gap junction, the point where the
Northeastern leaves llie Air-Line to
Clarkesville, is so far advanced that its
completion to Clarkesville in time for
trains to run to that point by January,

We find the following In the Savannah
JVsios, of Thursday. We agree with that
paper in the opinion that tbe action of tbe

Pay of Central Railroad Em
ployes.—A good deal has been mention
ed of late regarding a rumored advance
of wages on tbe Central railroad. We
have purposely refrained from alluding to
this matter until we could obtain definite
and reliable information on the subject.
This we were able to do on yesterday,
from a circular recently Issued from tbe
President’s office of that great corporation
—a copy of which was shown us during
the day—and which is as follows:
President’s Office,
Central R. R. and Banking Co. or Ga.,
Savannah. Ga., October 6,1881.
Several petitions having been received
from the employes of the company, ad
dressed to the board of directors, and others
to the officers of the road, asking that an
advance he made in the rate ot tbeir com-
>ensation, the board has taken up the snb-
.ectand given it a patient and thorough
consideration. Whi e the board cannot
hope to meet the expectation of all the
petitioners, they deem it dne that an answer
should be made informing them of tbe
conclusions arrived at. While it may be
true, as alleged, that the advanoe in pro
visions and rente baa increased the ooat of
living, it is also true that the board must be
controlled to a great extent in fixing the
rate of pay hy the supply and demand for
the lab. r In the various trades.
Tbeir investigation develops the fact
that the average pay of the men in the sev
eral departments of this company, with
the exception of the laborers of the road
way department, is above the average rate
paid by roods in this and adjoining States;
and while this is the case they feel that
they ore doing tbeir employes no injustice,
It is a fact, however, that the recent in
creased demand in the country for certain
kinds of skilled labor, has to some extent
monopolized the supply, and to those the
company proposed to make au advanoe
commensurate with the necessity.
It is the opinion of the board that the in
dividual merits aud demerits of employes
in the same character of service has not
heretofore been sufficiently recognized by
difference in tbe pay, and it is proposed to
establish more grades with difference in
pay, and look to the heads of depart
ments to take into more carefol considera
tion the individual’merits of theirem-
ployes, thus adjusting tbe rate paid more
fairly to tbe value of their services to the
company.
It is proper here to state, that whatever
advance in made will be solely on the
ground of the increased demand for that
particular class of labor, and by no means
nnder tbe supposition that the earnings of
tbe company for the coming year are prom
ising any justification for an increase of
expenses; on the contrary, it is the deliber
ate opinion of the board, that were it a
question thatconldbesettledupon the prin
ciple of equity between stockholders and
employes, instead of upon the principle of
Bupply and demand, the rates now paid
could not be advanced; and it is also proper
to state that the board fear the
decrease in the revenues cf the
road and the decreased demand
for labor of all kinds will, in the near fu
ture, necessitate a. redaction. While it iB
to be hoi>e<l that this will not be the case,
the board cannot, in view of the low rates
forced upon tbe company by the Railroad
Commission on all their local business,
and the constantly decreasing rates on all
through business at which the company is
obliged to work In competition with other
lines, see any promise of other results. .
By order of the board.
_ .... Wx. M. Wadlet, President.
It will be seen from the above that the
directors have decided to move cautious
ly in tliis matter. They desire to do the
very best possible by tbeir employes,
and give substantial proof of tbeir de
termination. At tbe same time (with
tbe conservatism aud wise caution which
has ever characterized the management
ot the corporation) it will be seen that
whatever advance is made is to be based
on merit alone, thus giving to each man
employed a compensation to which time
and experience have shown him to be
entitled. And further, to guard against
any disappointment In tbe future, the
board, very properly gives notice that
the low scale of rates forced upon the
company by the present unjust Railroad
Commission law of Georgia may so re-
duce the receipts of tbe company during
tbe coming year, that whatever advance
granted may be maintained. We feel
satisfied that this action of the board will
meet with universal commendation. The
employes benefited will feel that they

Atlanta Constitution that “several North

We find in tbe Constitution the follow
ing startling intelligence:
An Imhobtastt Railroad Rumor.
A rumor came to us yesterday evening
which we do not believe, but which came
from such a source that we are not justi
fied in entirely discrediting it. It is said
that combinations, or arrangements, or
consolidations baue been effected between
the Louisville and Nashville, the Cole
Seney system and tbe Georgia Central
system by which Colonel Cole will atonco
eease the building of the Macon and Rome
extensions, and will use the Georgia Cen
tral and the Ixiulsville and Nashville
lines forbistrafic, giving them the same
right over hts Hues. While we do not be
lieve that this rumor is true, we must con
fess tbst it is within the bounds of possi
bility. We know tbat very pressing nego
tiations were started witb a view to this
point before tbe railroads were com
menced, but Colonel Cole declined to
listen to them, aud assured us, as lie as
sured tbe public, thathe intended to butld
tlie road from Macon to Atlanta. That
this was his intention, is demonstrated by
tbe rapidity with which he bas gone at
bis work, and witb which he is still at it.
There is no human power that can predict
what will be done or wbat changes of
intention there may be when such vast
interests are at stake as in the gigantic
war between these three combinations.
Our reasons for disbelieving tbe rumor
manilold. In llie first place, the
rma nnder which the Macon and Bruns
wick road was sold prescribe tbat the At
lanta extension shall be built within
three years, or tbe money paid in shall
be forfeited and the road returned to the
State. We do not believe tbat Col. Cole
and his friends will disregard the law un
der which they purchased. If this road
is built, the Georgia Central will care very
little for the buildiug of the Rome exten
sion. In the second place, we do not see
any evidences of a late meeting of tbe par
ties at intei est. Col. Wadley, it is true,
bas gone to New York, but Geu. Alex
ander was iu Atlanta day before yester
day, and Col. Cole is in Nashville, wliere
he has been for several days. In tbe
third place, there are so many points of
conflict aud competition between these
three systems that an amicable arrange
ment is bardiv possible except by absorp
tion of two of them by the third, aud the
properties involved are too vast for any
to handle. It would not begin to settle
tbe differences between the Louisville
and Nashville and tbe Cole system
for Col. Cole to agree not to build from
Macon to Atlanta, and wo don’t believe
tbat an arrangement could be reached
between these lines tbat would be perma
nent.
It is fair to say on tbe other band that
the Louisville aud Nashville and the Cole-
Seney people have already made a friend
ly arrangement involving tbe Norfolk and
Western, and tbe East Tennessee, Vir
ginia and Georgia roads, and it is barely
possible tbat tbe friendly relations these
negotiations brought about have gone fur
ther. As to Col. Cole peifecting the Ma
con and Brunswick, rather than build
the Atlanta extension, it must be remem
bered thathe bas only paid in $250,000,
the Legislature at its last session having
refused to take the eight hundred thou
sand dollars balance that lie offered to
pay, objecting to the United Stales bonds
tbat be offered. It is probable that he lias
made enough out of tlie road to reim
burse him for tbe $250,000 already paid,
so that his forfeiture would amount to
little beyond giving up a veiy valuable
property tbat had been bought at a very
low price. It is impossible to estimate the
amount of money already spent in the ac
tual purchase aud work ou tlie extension.
It cannot be much less than half a mil
lion dollars. This is exclusive, of course,
of the enormous amount of steel rails
purchased, which can be easily put upon
tbe market and sold at little or no loss if
tbe parties in charge have determined to
suspend building. Inquiry of Major Me-
Crackeu, who has charge of the building
of tbe Macon and Rome roads, when
questioned upon this subject, last night,
said tbat he had no information in rela
tion thereto, but tbat work liad not been
stopped, and tbat arrangements were be
ing made to push IS ahead on eveu a
larger scale than at present. There are
about 4,000 men now at work on the en
tire line. We do not believe tbat there is
any truth in tlie rumor, but as we said
before, it comes from an important source,
and we have given our readers all that
we know or surmise upou the subject. In
to-morrow’s Constitution we shall be able
to present definite information.

We had a pleasant call from Mr. John
Jackson, the pioneer tea grower of Geor
gia, yesterday, and lie presented us with
some very beautiful specimens of domes
tic teas, which be bai grown and manu
factured on bis tea plantation in Liberty
couuty. We were really surprised at tbe
excellence of these specimens, both in sp
ies ranee aud quality. They are of green,
Hack, and oolong varieties, are very simi
lar to the imported teas, and, what is
more, are entirely pure, being free from
all tbe adulteration* wbicb so generally
characterize the foreign article. The chief

Spiritualism in New York city seems to
have received a quietus; certainly some
crushing blows feH upon it- a few years
ago almost-simultaneously. There was the
well-known aerial miss, “Katy : King,” who
was firmly believed to be a visitant from
another world, aqd who exhibited herself
and piece* of her clothing in Philadelphia
to admiring audiences _at five dollars per
head. Bat atas! Miss-Katy-proved to be
a pretty servant girl from, next* door, the
medium had introduced through a con
cealed trap, and the “heavenly raiment” so
revered was only “Wmnsutta” or “Fruit of
the Loom” muslin manufactured in Massa
chusetts. Then came the exposure of
“Slade” in London. The proofs adduced
in hta trial “for obtaining money under
falsepretenees” showed that be had open
ed sealed letters by aid of steam from
a tea kettle. Hence bis sobriquet “Tea
Kettle Slade.” Then the exposure of the
“Eddy brothers.” In spite of these dis
couragements, spirit lalism, though little
discussed nowadays in New York city, still
lives and counts among its adherents some
of the best aud purest people, as
well as a great mass of
the ignorant and credulous, whose logical
powers are of the smallest, rendering them
susceptible of entertaining any belief, how
ever absurd. Then there is a large class
who never go beyond the surfaoe o* things,
and are quickly staggered by wbat they
cannot readily understand, and that “inhe
rent tendency in tlie mind of man” leadinc
him to ascribe to the supernatural al
events the causes of which are bey end hta
knowledge.
Our ancestors, in ages past, not under
standing the process cf digestion, believed
that a devil dwelt in the stomach and pre
sided over its function*. But science having
shown us the whole digestive process car
ried on in a tea cup, with the aid of a iittie
pepsin and dilute ohlorhydrio acid, we
moderns have rejected the devil ana ac
cepted tlie fact that digestion is a purely
physical process. So in time to come the
supernatural may l>e eliminated from the
phenomena known now as spiritualism. If
tbe causes of the phenomena are entirely
beyond our present knowledge and beyond
the possibility of future investigation, still
I agree' with a learned friend “the hy
pothesis of ‘spirits’ is not tbe most plausi
ble that could be offered.”
One of New York’s greatest physicians,
one who stands pre-eminent ns an author
ity on the brain atd nervous system, said
once, “i he physiology of the nervous sys
tem is by no moans even tolerably well
understood. The spinal cord and sympa
thetic system are capable of originating
certain kinds of mental influences which
when the brain is quiescent may be won
derfully intensified, and in this fact we
find an explanation of some of the most
striking phenomena known as spiritual
ism.” Be this as it may, I don’t propose to
argue the matter, or to offer any theories
of my own. “Modern spiritualism” is a
religion with many, and Zapproach the
subject, therefore, “with fear and trem
bling.” I asked an old and well known
Georgia politician once the secret of his
success in life. He replied, “I never
fought an old man, a woman, or n church.”
I Darned that answer by heart, and I’m
trying to profit by it. I asked a middle
Georgia merchant how he got rich. He re
plied, “I don’t have any politics, any re
ligion, or any opiuion on the stock law.”
He gave this recipe to me free, and so I
publish it. But to return to spiritualism.
There can be no question in any reasona
ble mind that all free born American citi
zens nre entitled to think what they please
on this or any other subject, and if any
man chooses to think his grandmother
comes up the leg of his table and raps on
top of it, there is nothing in the constitu
tion And laws of the United States to pre
vent it, and all I can say is, that’s n pleas
anter way than the old lady had when she
was alive, and was wont in hta youth to rap
bis head with nn old brass thimble. Let
every one 3o hta own thinking. It gives a
pleasing variety to life. I knew a man
once that thought he had glass legs. Ho
was a nice man, but not sociable. He did
not go from home much, for he was natu
rally afraid small boys might chunk bis
legsand break them off. I knew another
man that thought he was the angel Gabriel.
And still another that declares he was a
coffee pot. Since then, I have known some
spiritualists— nico people, too—who, sitting
with me in a seance, asserted they saw
their uncles, mothers-in-law and relatives
of all kinds, with Socrates. George Wash
ington and the Queen of Sheba, where I
only saw a dim, white object I afterwards
discovered to be the medium’s foot, whioh
he had elevated, he having previously
kicked off hta slippers under the table for
that purpose.
There is no doubt we have a charming
variety of opinions and religious beliefs in
America, and no one but a wicked French
man would say wlmt a Frenchman did say
once: “What barbarous people are the
Americans: forty different kinds of relig
ion and only two kinds of sauce!” There
used to stand in. New York a quaint old
house, the home of the Garys, the well-
known poet sisters. There I was wont to
go in old times. The people that fre
quented that house were mostly spiritual
ists, and at the evening seances came many
a man and woman known to fame. Hor
ace Greeley came often, and—but wiiy tel!
tales out of school ? Around a beautiful
antique inlaid table the company sat even
ing after evening, but no morifestations
ever occurred, for the reason that there was
no “paid” medium there. These people
were sincere seekers for troth, and noth
ing ever rewarded their patient waiting And
fnithful, honest investigation! Poor old
Horace Greeley 1 I see him now, with hta
silvery hair thrown back from hta tired,sad
face. I see tbe weary longing in hta
eyes, tbe lines of care and trouble about
the mouth, the yearning, wistful look in
the whole face, changing to keen disap
pointment as be waits patiently and vainly
for a word or a message from that unseen
land “from whenoe no traveler ever re
turned.” Aud yet he did not wait long for
the knowledge ho sought. A few weeks la
ter the bells in the city were tolliug, Now
York waa hung iu mourning, and in the
city ball lay Horace Greeley dead, and as I
looked upon his peaceful faoe, 1 thought:
’He knows it all—at last.”
These reflections and reminiscences
were suggested to me hy a recent experi
ence. We have atteuded a meeting of spir
itualists—a meeting, not a seance, and it
was on a Sunday evening. The -professed
spiritualist attends these services as the
orthodox Christian does a prayer meeting.
The hall where tho services wore held was
ordinary-looking public-room that
might have served better for theatrical or
literary purposes, being profusely decorat
ed in fresooe*, with nymphs and fanns, Ve-
nusos, gods and goddesses. A number
of plain beu bes formed a
semicircle round a platform, in front of
which stood a small desk, to tho left a
piano. Wo took seats with the rest of the
audience, and found ourselves facing quite
a number of persons npon the rostrum—
ladies and gentlemen—the ladies remarka
ble for haring exceedingly short hair, the
entlemcn, to make up fur the ladies’ de-
uciuncy, wearing theirs exceedingly long.
The ladies were charecterized, too, by a
peculiar severity, not to say ferocity of ex-
f iression, while the men, on tlie other hand,
ooked particularly meek and subdued—
perhaps one might even say cowed 1
We had in our party an Atlanta mnu who
had never been in New York before. In
deed, he hadn’t been anywhere outside of
Atlanta! There was no need. Atlanta is tlie
biggest city in the world, os everybody
knows tbat reads the Atlanta Constitution,
and why should the denizen of a vast me
tropolis fool away hta time and money in
a smalt town like Now York I Ho said,
however, he was thoroughly posted about
New York city. He read the Atlanta Con
stitution, and that paper had a regular cor
respondent there all the time, to after
surveying the ladies and gentlemen on the
platform iu front of as, be nudge J my hus
band and inquired: “Can you point those
folks oat to me? I’ve read about 'em ail,
of course, but I don’t know one from totb-
er. I ’epose old Henry Ward Beecher is up
there, and Oliver Wendell Holmes and Bu
san B. Anthony and Horace B. Ciafllin and
all the rest of them spiritaaltats.”
“My friend,” said my husband, severely,
“Yonr ideas are much mixed. Henry Ward
Beecher is not a spiritualist; he is a Uon-
gregationaiist preacher, and is at ibis very
moment “
Brooklyn
man looked confused, then feebly mar boarding house. Hence the wreck we per*
mured: “He thought he’d read ’bout them
folks in one of ‘H. O.V letters from New
York in the Atlanta Constitution, but may
be be didn’t. ‘1L G.’ told suoh whoppers
anyhow, he—”
Here hta voice ceased. I suppose by EL
G. he meant Horace Greeley. (Maybe
though he meant Henry Grady.
Tbe exercises began by a loud and severe
eniff from a stern-looking female on tho
right, which seemed to be a signal for a
small, meek-looking man on tho loft to
dart to the piano and begin a dismal howl,
accompanying himself at the same time
npon the instrument with a noise that was
simply diabolical. He had ad
vanced some distance in his
tnne baforo I discovered we were
being tortured by the “Sw3et Bye and Bye.”
When he had finished his performance, he
meekly Blank away and tlie stern looking
female came to the front and made us a
short address io a shrill, nasal voice—a rig-
nmarole of high sounding phrases without
sense, connection or logical sequence. Tho
most that I could gather was tiiat she de
sired to teach a sort of pantheism, or lath
er her “angel guide” spoke through ber
to this effect: “That Divinity is in humani
ty;” that we are part of the universal all;
and that—
We are all owners of the sphere
Of the seven Btars and Botar year,
Of Ckesar’s hand and Plato’s brain,
Of Lord Christ’s heart and Shakspeare’s
strain/'
That’s not very clear to me, and I don’t
believe it was to her. Maybe it wasn’t to
the “angel guide,” either. But any way,
that is it, as near as I can remember.
When she finished she scowled at ns, took
her seat and rolled her eyes toward the ceil
ing, and went off into a trance, or fit, or
something, but nobody paid any attention
to her, as Mr. Edgar Allen Poe next put in
an appearance, having just arrived from
“the dark Plutonian shore.” He didn’t
bring hta “raven” with him, and ho had
no “trade mark." by which he cnuld be rec
ognized. Still, there is no doubt it was
“Po.” He spoke in such a po-etical man
ner. Bealladed to his “lost Lenore, ’ and
he also observed “never more” several
times. This was a clincher, and fixed hta
identity beyond a doubt. When he had
concluded his remarks, he obligingly va
cated the medium’s body for another spirit
to enter. This medium, who leased him
self, as it were, to gentlemen from the oth
er world for a temporary dwelling, waa a
small, unhappy looking man, with feeble
whiskers and a weak moustache. He also
wore a oolored neck tie, a paper collar, a
glass breast pin, and a coat of singular
shape, many sizes too big for him, and
evidently borrowed for the occasion, hang
ing in a most dejected and discouraged
fashion nearly to the ground! I have al
ways believed that garment belonged, and
that he belonged, to the stern looking fe
male that sat on tbe right. I believe tbat
garment was her polonaise: I believe that
man was her husband; I believe she made
him wear that polonaise to
save baying him a coat when
she hired him out to tae spiritualists
for a medium. Tbe next speaker that
favored ns through this melancholy small
man was Socrates. 1 know it was Socrates,
for ho spoke English,and everybody knows
that Socrates was a fine English scholar.
Besides he spoke it with a sharp Boston
twang, which Socrates would naturally do.
Is not Boston tbe “Athens of America V”
Was not Socrates an Athenian? Would
not all Athenians have the same accent ?
So when I heard Socrates say, “Ladies aud
gentlemen, I hev come daown to this ere
subloonary sphere to make a few remarks,”
I felt at once that I was in the presence of
the grand old Greek philosopher, and 1 in
stinctively looked ronnd for “Crito,”
“Phaedo,” “Apollodorus” and the ’rest of
his followers. I did not see or bear any
thing of them, however. I fear they have
deserted their old m istsr, and I could not
wonder when I heard the miserable twad
dle he talked. I wanted to ask Socrates a
few questions, to “interview” him on some
points Plato left in doubt, but I had no
opportunity. He seemed nnder the weath
er, and soon asked to be excused. He was
evidently suffering from a cold iu ids head,
aud so sat down. The next medinm
that arose was a lady, and the first re
markable tiling she did wus to stand up on
the floor and gi to sleep. The man, that
introduced het said she was asleep or in a
trance, and I know she was, for 1 saw her
while she was in this state arrange her trail
and fix her bangs, and that showed she was
unconscious that anyone was looking at
her. She preacheda sermon with her eyes
shut, and said among other things that
“the difference between tbe orthodox
church and the church of the spiritaaltats
was that in the orthodox chrrch the people
went to Bleep and the preacher staid awake,
but in the spiritualist church the preacher
went to sleep and the people staid awake.”
Bhe then opened one eye to see the effect
of this speeah, and finding the andience
chuckling and winking at each other, as
much us to say “that’s so,” she gave us
considerably more of the same sort of dis
course, and finally backed gracefully from
tbe stage. I mean she retired from tlie pul
pit, ’mid thnnders of applause. The per-
foruianc. s were now brought to an end by
the small man, who suddenly popped np in
the pulpit, like a “Jack-in-H-box.” and in
formed the brothers and sisters that
they wonid liave no regular meeting the
following Sanday, as tho church was going
on a picnic that day to “Jones’ Woods" or
somewhere else, and all desiring to attend
would please contribute a quarter to help
pay the fiddler and buy refreshments. He
then seated himself at the piano and again
treated us to a dismal howling. The meet
ing was evidently at an end and tlie audi
ence about to disperse, when, to our sur
prise, our Atlanta friend rose to hta feet
and asked permission to make a few re
marks. He said he hnd been delighted-
delighted was a feeble word to express his
feelings—at the evening's entertainment!
Ho had not seen so refined and intelligent a
set of people gathered together since be left
Atlanta. Atlanta was his home, tlie capital
of Georgia; also one of the largest and
richest cities in the United States—perhaps
he should tay the world ! A city noted for
the virtue and intelligence of its people.
To say a man was from Atlanta was equiv
alent to saying he was an honest man, a re
ligious man, in every respect a moral man !

purpose. Nobody paid his expenses. Ho
was an Atlanta citizen. He was ptond to
confess it. And being a citizen.he desired,
in tlie name of Atlanta, to invite all this
cultivated and intelligent audience to at
tend the Cotton Exposition. Let no one re-
muin away imagining Atlanta was not big
enough to entertain any crowd that might
come. Atlanta could hold the whole Unit

boundless. In the Kimball Ho- se they had
steam cars running night and day from
one end of the hotel to the other, transfer

immense couldn’t do any other

a double track. Peachtree street

friend had all this time been reading one
of Joe Harris’ editorials in the Atlanta Con
stitution, the end of which projected from
hta pocket, and at this point having lost his
place he sat down, and profound silence
reigned for a few moments. It was broken
finally by a solemn, oadaverons looking
man, who rose and remarked that ho bad
heurd the gentleman from Georgia and de
sired to say that he himself was a Nor h-

He attended the fair of the Gate Cry Guard.

WAsniKoioir, October 14.—The star route
oos<-s were again taken up, but owing lo
the absence of associate counsel for the
government, an adjournment was asked by
Attorney Cook. After some discussion, a
postponement for two weeks was taken.
After tbe star route cases were disposed of,
it became known in the oourt room that
the arraignment of Guiteau was actually
to take place to-day, so most of the specta
tors remained, and a very intense feeling
of curiosity and interest was manifested.
There was no unusual display of polioe-
men in or about the court room, although
there were a large number of detectives
present not in uniform. For over half an
hour business was suspended, while await
ing tbe introduction of the prisoner.
At a quarter past 11 o'clock, Bcoville,
counsel for the prisoner, entered and took
a seat at the lawyers’ table, and immediate
ly after the door of the witnesses’ room
opened and gave entrance to Marshal
Henry and two deputy marshals, having
between them and hustling along the bowed
and cowering figure of a man, for whom
they made a way to the seat reserved for
him beside his counsel. Then one of the
guards unlocked the handcuffs, giving the
prisoner the use of his hands, whiuh he
continued, however, to bold, as if that was
their usual ;>ositiou- Guiteau looked bro
ken in health and uncared-for in person.
His hair is closely cropped, bnt bis cheek
and chin whiskers are worn thiok but not
long. Hia dark clothes were rusty and
shabby, and his whole person presented
a miserable and neglected appearance. Af
ter the excitement attending hta entrance
had subsided, District-Attorney Corkhiil
rose, and, addressing the Judge, said:
“The grand jury of the district of Colum

hardly changed his attitude or bearing, and
rarely opened his eyes. He did not mani

scene in which he was tho chief actor, and
but for an occasional slight movement
might be supposed to be asleep in a stand

reading of the indictment, the clerk, ad-
creasing tho prisoner, said :
“Whatsay yon to this indictment—guilty

The prisoner, in place of a response,
fumbled in hta waistcoat pocket ana drew
out a sealed and crumpled scrap of paper.
District Attorney (imperatively)—“Enter
