In the great square of the city, dreamily, a
figure stands.
With the water dimly flowing through its
eyes and lip* and hands,
And the throngs that pass and ponder, that
weird masterpiece sublime
little think it is the picture of the solemn
lapse of Time;
Of the thoughtless lapse of Time,
With its melancholy music and its sad,
heart-broken rhyme.
Oozing, trickling, bubbling, gleaming,
Laughing, weeping,sobbing,streaming.
Waiting, murmuring, sighing, dream
ing,
Flowing, flowing on.
Bo, stand we that fountainad statue, God’s
great masterpieoe of art,
And the lapse of time is flowing on thro’
each oblivious heart;
Seconds, minutes, meeting, fleeting into
days, and months ana years,
Swell the rapida of the ages till at last Time
disappears
With its flood of hopes and fears,
Through life's dimly.lighted valley, thro’
the valley of our tears.
Tinkling, plashing, rippling, sleeping.
Bounding, sparkling, dancing, leaping,
Foaming, billowing, tumbling, sweep
ing,
Gliding, gliding on.

Mb. Randall, of the Augusta Chroni
cle, writes from Washington that “Sena
tor Hill has been to see Hr. Gross, at
Philadelphia, and as he returns with a
smiling countenance, I take it for granted
that he has bad glad tidings.” Mr. R.
also says that David Davis “has already
disclosed his Intentions for the regular
session in December. They are, in brief,
a Republican secretary, an equal division
of the committees and a Democratic ser
geant-at-arms.”
Sfbgeant Harvey, of the Savannah
police force, who was shot by a negro ri
oter at the Central railroad wharf abou t
a month ago, died on Wednesday.
From the Thomasville Enterprise:
Col. Joseph Clisby, the senior editor of
the Macon Telegraph, has returned
from his trip to the Hot Springs, much
improved ia health and able to resume his
place as editor-in-chief of that sterling
Journal. We trust be will continue in
good health for many yean to come.
A new evening daily is promised Rome,
as we learn from the Courier. That will
be a heavy load for somebody.
The Courier has these additional
items:
Large Real Estate Tbasfeb.—Mr.
Hamilton Yancey Informed this reporter
yesterday that be bad purchased for his
father, lion. li. C. Yancey, of Athens, the
plantation, three miles from the city, be
longing to Mr. John Berry, and known as
the Mobloy place. It contains about 900
acres, and the price paid was $12,000. He
also bought the fine Glenn estate, lying
three miles from Cave Spring, in this
county. This last named plantation con
tains 720 acres, and was bought for
$9,000. Both these places are fine valley
lands, and, in our opinion, were bough
low.

The Atlanta snow.-some of our
brethren of the press who have been to
the great Atlanta show, had anything bat

says:
Though we had tlie papers with us that
Would show that wo nsUy belonged to
the Press Association, we were given to
understand that we should make our sup
plications for a free pass back in the city.
We didn’t go back to the city. So much
for the kind consideration and politeness
shown to invited guests. We think it a
swindle to allow people at this time, with
all Us incompleteness, to spend their
money to go any distance to the show.
The thing is not ready, and the managers
ought to say so.
Shooting at burglars is the latest
evening amusement in Marietta.
The Marietta Journal telle the follow
ing: “A negro woman was going through
the park the other day crying as. If tier

pathy, thinking some great calamity bad
befallen her, a person asked ber what
was the cause or her distress. She re
plied: “My cat is dead that my dead sis

The Atlanta Constitution reports one
of the best-posted citizens of that place as
saying: “You may just aay in yonr pa

that we are on the eve of some startling
disclosures concerning the old rolling
mill Iron works, but will withhold any
further comments for the present, and

rich.”
Twenty-two gin houses have been
burned In Geoigla this season. The loss

of Warren county.
The Hawklnsville Hews says:
“Mr. Dudley Hughes, of Twiggs coun
ty, was in Hawklnsville on Saturday last.
Besides his fanning operations in Twiggs
and Laurens, Mr. Hoghes is running a
large plantation near Drayton, Dooly
county, and we understand that, from
this place, he will be able to aell one
thousand bushels ot corn after housing
enough for the use of the plantation. He
can also spare five hundred bushels from
his plantation in Laurens. It no disease
gets among his hogs, he will be able to
kill one hundred bead of fine porkers at
his Dooly county plantation.”
It took seventy-five thousand pounds of

The Atlanta Constitution says Judge
Lochrane has returned to that city “for a

is a coon.”
The gin house of Mr. J. W. Woolfolk,
Sr., five miles from Perry, was burned
last Wednesday night week, as we team
from the Perry Journal. Thirty-five or

his age, after a long and painful illuess.
The dot-tor’s health has been failing for
months past and his sufferings have been
very grievous, but his patience and Chris

motion to reinstate an order passed by
Judge Brown and revoked by Judge Un

$12,000realized from this insolvent bank,
and now in the hands of the assignee.
The Supreme Court, in the case of the
Bank of Rome, decided that the State had
a priority over all creditors, and it Is hard
to understand why the order of Judge
Brown has been revoked.”
Mb. Randall writes as follows from
Washington to the Augusta Chronicle:

upon an antagonist the provocation has
been unbearable. The aeniorMississIppl

real genius, and to genius much will al

A Nabkow Escape.—Yesterday morn
ing about 11 cf clock, just as the through
freight and Carrollton trains wore coming
in, an exciting incident occurred which
might have proven a frightful .catastro
phe. Young Mr. Gaillard, who lives
near the city, wanted to drive across the
track in order to get to the depot. The
Carrollton track is about twenty feet from
the Central track, and this was only par
tially crossed when down came the Car
rollton engine, almost before tlie yoi ng
man had lime to look around. The pass
ing freight was just in front and the Car
rollton train not twenty feet away, com
ing at a sufficient speed to have knocked
him sky high: in this dilemma, and see
ing his danger, Mr. Gaillard leaped from
bis buggy in time to prevent being hart.
The same instant the horse darted off with
the buggy and actually distanced the en-
glue, though he had not twenty feet to
run before reaching the wharf. Luckily
he got off*the track, and no damage was
done.

From the Waynesboro Herald:
Important, if True.—A colored man
came into Judge T. M. Berrien’s office,
Saturday, and told a story which, if true,
ought to get somebody into trouble.
Judge Berrien does not vouch for the
trutn of the statement, and only gave it to
us as it was related by the darky. His
statement, in brief, was this: That a little
over two years ago he escaped from the
Old Town, convict camp, in Jeflerson
county, where he had been detained five
months without ever having been tried or
sentenced. He says that he was working
on the plantation of T. P. Branch, Esq.,
in Burke county, where be was beaten
and shot by Mr. Charles Moxley, the over
seer, who then took him to Old Town and
put him in the penitentiary gang, where
he served the time above mentioned. Tbe
story seems incredible, but if the negro’s
story proves to be true the parties who
perpetrated such an outrage ought to
suffer some penalty. The darky’s visit to
Judge Berrien was to consult him as to
whether any redress coaid be obtained
tbroueb the courts.

To tbe Farmers or Georgia
The following circular has been issued
by the State Commissioner:
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., October 19,1881.
To the Farmers of Georgia: As an illus
tration of American industries, the Inter
national Cotton Exposition is acknowl
edged on all hands to be—in the history of
such enterprises on this continent—second
only to the Centennial. Georgians cannot
allow Georgia’s agricalture to be unrepre-
sented when their guests assemble at their
own capital. Other States have availed
themselves of the opportunity of advertis
ing their resources. Ample space awaits
he opening of tbe Agricultural and Horti
cultural display on the 25th instant. Mr.
William H. Clayton, superintendent of the
Southern Express Company, has, with the
usual liberality shown by his company to
wards the tillers of the soil, offered to
transport free of charge any articles sent
by farmers to aid in illustrating the pro
ductions of Georgia soil, in packages of
five pounds or less, and ut two-thirds tlie
regular rates on heavier packages. The
Western and Atlantic railroad will bring,
free of charge, any products intended for
exhibition in the Department of Agricul
ture of the Exposition. The Georgia rail
road will transport at half the regular rates
all such articles. The executive committee
of the Exposition have assigned Judges
Hail for the agricultural display.
The question of illustrating Georgia by a
creditable exhibition of the products of her
soil rests with you. Will you not collect in
each neighborhood representative products
of your soil as contributions to the general
display of Georgia products, and thus aid
in sustaining the good name of our beloved
commonwealth. Other States are making
magnificent displays of their resources for
tho purpose of inducing immigration to
their borders. Shall Geargia, with all her
boasted resources, decline to show of what
she boasts? Will you allow our sister States
to eclipse us on oir own soil? Florida,
with funds raised by individual subscrip
tion, is erecting a building of her own in
which to exhibit her products. You have
the building furnished yon free, and arc
only asked to oontribnte small samples of
your products. Georgians have never fail
ed to respond when duty calls, and will not
now.
We will have, within two weeks, a dis
play of the products of Georgia soil of
which every true ueorgion shall be proud.
We boast of the endless variety of onr pro
ductions, as well as of their quality. It is
desirable to illustrate both ; but do not be
deterred from sending any products of
your farm, orchard or garden by the fear
that your contribution may be surpassed
by some other. Every product, however
insignificant it may seem in your eye, will
be useful in the general display of the va
riety of our productions. Direct samples,
carefully and securely packed, to J. T.
Henderson, Chief of the Department of
Agriculture, Atlanta, Georgia. If the far
mers of the State will respond, as I believe
they will, Georgia need not fear compari
son with any other State in the Union.
Very respectfully,
J. T. Henderson,
Commissioner of Agriculture and Chief
Department of Agriculture. Internation
al Cotton Exposition.

The BbeaenUe Siiutlwa In Europe
Although, says the New York Bulletin,
most ot the European countries are enjoy
ing a period of what is comnnuly called
“tranquillity,” especially as regards their
international relations, yet there are
causes at work beneath tbe surface, plain
ly discernible, which promise to work im
portant i! cot startling changes within the
near future
England still continues to retain her
evershadowiog prestige, but her coinmer-
clal supremacy is not less dependent on
the enterprise and venturesome spirit of
her people than on the coal and Iron
which have placed in her hands the great
modern engines of force and labor.
“England,” says a French writer, “has
some 5,900 square miles of coal,
hut the United States pos
sesses 196,000, and China far
exceeds the latter.” “Iron aud
Cctton,” says a German economist, “are
King.” The expression is more forcible
than grammatical. England, with do
cotton save that which she imports, and
England, with a much smaller coal and
iron area tbtn many other countries, is
nevertheless supreme In the industries
which are the outcome of these “raw ma
terials,” in consequence of her unrestrict
ed commercial legislation, which affords
her access to all the markets of the world.
Hence, if the German economist is cor
rect, it is free trade that has made iron
and cotton, in England, “King.” But
under the changing conditions of tbe
times and th« restless spirit cf reform,
even England must look to herself, be
cause other Influences and other forces
are coming into play to affect her tradi
tlons. Political economy is begin
ning to he studied and understood by
the masses, and the result is a wide
spread sentiment against exclusive privi
leges and unequal rights. The agricul
tural classes everywhere are especially
loud in demands for laud reform; that is
to say, a change in those laws which have
virtually made one hundred individuals
misters of the very ground of a great
kingdom. The landlords of England and
Ireland, it will be admitted, have not been
wise in their generation. They have all
along couitemplated with indifference the
gradual impoverishment of that class of
“yeomanry which, once gone, can never
be replaced.” Except tu isolated cases,
tbero has been no practical recognition
of the effects ot “American competition’
and of the resulting necessities of the sit
uation. The depreciation of farms in
England is from one-quarter to one-half,
and the enormous sum thus represented
must be thrown into the scale against the
American fanner on one band, and sub
tracted from the incomes of the “luxu
rious” or land owning class on the other.
Tho mutterrings of discontent are now
heard among tho fanners in Scotland as
well as in England and Ireland; and when
that proverbially stubborn and self-reliaut
people have got It fairly into their heads
that there is something wrong that
needs riglitlug, the governing classes are
likely to hear from them in the Im
perative mood. For that matter,
they are already beginning to
make themselves beard. As fur Ireland,
we think it must be acknowledged that
the present deplorable condition of things
there is due quite as much to false econ
omic conditions, and to the fostering of
agitation from this side of the Atlantic, as
from acy inherent warlike spirit on the
part of the Irish agricultural clais. Thus,
it Is evident, the changed conditions of
making a livelihood, consequent largely
upon American competition and the in
creasing use of machinery, are stimulat
ing political aspirations and a revision of
existing social conditions which uuder
other circumstances wonld probably
never have been thought of.
The situation in France, Is Is no exag
geration to assert, Is one of economic
speculation, political intrigue and milita
ry expansion. V/bat is to be the outcome
of them all, nobody—not even tlie saga
cious Frenchman—can foresee. But a
nation which b thus takint fi many risks
is clearly at the m«-rcy of accident. The
reckless speculations now rile in Paris,

Tom Arter Coco to tbe l freon.
It was considerably on the shady side of
midnight when. -Mr. Arter returned from
the circus. Usually, Tom keeps away from
temptation, but cn this occasion—the smell
of sawdust, the surging crowd, the pretty-
girls, all mixed up with the rose-tinted
lemonade—ho got a little off his base, and
in this condition found his way home.
To avoid disturbing his family, particu
larly Mrs. Arter, he crept into the house on
tiptoe, as softly os a cat, he imagined, bnt
Mrs. Arter had been awake several hoars
nursing the wrath to oome.
“This is pretty time of night for you to
be coming home,” came lrom the bed.
“Taint late—only ton o’clock. Don’t
expect a man to go to the circus and get
back before 8 o’clock, do you ?”
“And you don’t expect me to keep that
front door unlocked all night for you, do
you ?”
“Well, ’spose it is unlocked—who’s going
to come in here. Don’t suppose anybody
wonld oome in and steal you ?”
“Now, look here, Mr. Arter, the next
time yon go out at night I’m going to lock
that door, and if you don’t get here before
I go to bed yon can just take yourself off—
understand that ?”
“And yon just look here, Mrs. Arter, I’m
twenty-one years old, got hair on my lipj
and I’m my own boss. Pll go when
please, oome when I please, and do as
please, and if yon don't like my style you
can just lump it, that's all.”
By this time Mrs. Arter was fully awake.
Such a speech from easy-going Tom seem
ed to stagger her at first, bnt she soon ral
lied, raised herself in bed and piled into
Tom after this fashion:

Disastrous Fire at Lynchburg, Ya
Lynchdubu, Va., October 22.—Tlie
disastrous fire which occurred here last
night, is said to have been the result of
tbe explosion of a barrel of kerosene oil
in. a shed adjoining the commission
house of Messrs. Lucada & Urgubart, on
Jefferson street, which was destroyed with
Kinnear’s store house and lour dwelling
houses. Twenty carloads of cotton and
a large quantity of tobacco, with other
merchandise awaiting shipment, were also
destroyed. An accurate estlma’e ol the
entire loss cannot as yet be made, but It
is thought it will reach $200,003.

“Is it true,” inquired & World reporter
of Postmaster Pearson yesterday, “that
there are lic-aily $2,000,000 in the United
States sub-treasury, representing accumu
lations from unpaid money orders for sev
eral years back?”
“Yes,” replied the Postmaster. “I sup
pose that in rouud numbers they hold
about that amount belonging to careless
persous whom it is impossible for us-to
find.”
“What do you propose to with this
money, Mr. Pearson?”
“Congress will probably bo asked at its
next session to make some disposition of
it.”
“Why was not this done heretofore?”
“Well, there is no legal limitation to
tho time when funds ol this character
may be accounted for. Tho Postmaster
cannot tell when the parties to a money
order may correct fata! mistakes ill tho
order and demand their money. Yon
know we must always be prepared to pay
on legal demand.”
“Can you give me a general idea of the
way in which such a large, unclaimed ac
cumulation of money comes about?”
“Primarily it is duo to a lack of know l
edge concerning the operations of the law
under which the money order system is

Macon, Ga., October L—Editors South,
era Reveille—Dear Sir: I have the pleas
ure of sending to you, by mail, Derry’s
History of tbe United States. Please read
or criticise it and make yonr views known
through your paper. I read in the Savan
nah Evening News not long since an arti
cle taken from the Southern Reveille which
speaks of two yonng ladies of the Port
Gibson Collegiato Academy and their
troubles in tbe study of history. They de
serve a place in history themselves, and
that great and good man, Jef
ferson Davis, among thousands of
other instances bnt gave an
other instance of his kindly nature
when he penned to them that short
but extremely tender note which aooom-
panied tbe article spoken of. I have taken
the liberty of sending to Miss Angie Pat
ton and to Miss Genie Morris a copy of
Derry's History eacb, as a small token of
my admiration of their good sense and
proper leeling in regard to the stady of
United States’ histories in Southern
schools. They evidently think that tbe
history of onr country, so far ss the South
is concerned,should be written by Southern
born writers, who will at least do the South
ern people justice. Prof. Joseph T. Derry,
tbe author ot the history I send yon, was
born in Milledgevilie, Georgia, was gradu
ated at Emory College ol the same State,
entered the war between tbe States nine
teen years old, volunteering before the first
bombardment of Fort Sumter, and return
ing home after the surrender of Deo and
Johnston. He is now Professor of Lan

Germany is losing many of the best el

will soon lose their prestige. Why? Be
cause the emigration of miners is so great
that competent labor can no longer be ob
tained; orders remain unexecuted; cus
tomers grow exasperated and go else

reputation, is difficult to be recovered.

is an agent more powerful than his legs.
It happened thiswise: An ungainly speci

angularities are so striking and so totally
bereft of beauty, was hitched to a cotton
wagon in front of Coleman & Newsom’s
warehouse. By some unforeseen accident
a shot-gun, which the teamster bad placed

off and the hammer strnok the wheel. like
a sensible shot-gun, it went off, and tbe

farming is beglnnitg to be an industry
which does not pay, and the vast agricul
tural class of Europe, therefore, is seri
ously thinking that they wage the battle
of life on much easier terms in the new
countries, and emigration hence Is likely
to continue.
Italy and the Scandinavian countries
are scarcely less poverty-stricken, and but
for tbe revenues derived, under niilftary
coercion as it were, from her West India
possessions, Spain would fiud it difficult
to solve tlie problem of how to make both
ends meet. It is to the feredit of her states
men, however, that they appear to be
awakening to tbe folly of commercial iso
lation and to have some aspirations for a
larger foreign trade than the country
at present enjoys. These are leading
them to a study of their tariff, and it is
not impossible that, after awhile, lower
dalles may result.
We do not know that any survey of the
European situation from a purely po.itico-
ecouomlc standpoint need bring the Rus

man can tell what a day may bring forth.
Probably to no country in Europe at tbe

so applicable—“It is the unexpected that

On the whole, one need not be a very
close observer, nor yet a confirmed pessi
mist, to reach the conclusion that the Eu

not especially ominous, is like one ot
those tropical clouds which are said to be
never so portentous as when they make
their appealance in a serene sky, aud
when tbe waters of the ocean are as un
ruffled as a summer lake. The old world
has been struck with not a few such sud
pen squalls within the recollection of
many among us who may be called still
young; and as the conditions for tbelr re
currence are atill in existence, and as no
nation nowadays cau be said to staud en
tlrely aloof from all other nations, it is
the dictate of prudence, not leas than that
of a wise self-interest, to make timely

been a lawyer aud expects to be one
again. Dr. Bliss’ bill would have a small
chance before a jury of business men, and
even a lawyer might bo trusted to pro
nounce upon Us merits, just as a jury of
doctors could be relied upon to de
lect the extortion of a lawyer’s
bill. The question to be decided in Dr.
Bliss’ case is: What are his services
ordinarily worth? To determine that
question it is only necessary to ascertain,
first, whether tbe services were, in point
of fact, beneficial to the patient, and, sec
ondly, what was the market rate for such
services as Bliss nretended to tender? It
goes almost without saying that his in
come in common average years has not
been $115,000; and hence his services by
the dsy cannot be worth $312. There is
not a physician In the United States whose
average daily earnings are as much as
that, and Bliss was far from being at the
top of tho profession. His claim for $25,-
000 roust be based therefore either on tho
condition of the patient or upon
the circumstances of tho widow.
But by Dr. Bliss’ own confes*
sion tho case was hopeless from the
start. Medical skill could not avert tbe
fatal reuslt. Hence, the Doctor’s services
were useless. They were not worth $25,-
000 to anybody. The circumstances of
the widow justify tlie demand still less.
Mrs. Gatfield has not $25,000 in her own
right. Dr. Bliss’ hill Is a virtual demand
upon her for her whole property and
something more on account of hts failure
to save her liusbaud’s life, to diagnose the
case properly, or to let anybody else more
competent tiy to do so. If the treatment
had saved the life of President Garfield,
the nation would joyfully pay the bill;
but the failure of medical skill to give
him the bast assistance ought not to be
charged for ia so magnificent a manner.
Unit of tbe Capital la tbe Louisiana
Htato Lottery.
After tba last drawing of the Louisiana
State Lottery it was reported that Mr.
John Conners, an engineer on the Louis
ville and Nashville road, had drawn half
of tbe capital prize—$15,000. “I under
stand, Mr. Conners,” said a reporter,
“that you held half of ticket No. 43,753,
the capital prize in tbe Louisiana State
Lottery.” “Yea sir, I did. On Wednes
day before last, the 7th rest., I bought
three half tickets of the agent here.” “Did
you have any trouble or delay in getting
your money ?” “Not a bit. On my re
turn to Memphis I went to the Bank of
Commerce, which collected the money
for me. I got every cent of it.” Mr.
Conners is a fine specimen of the Ameri
can mechanic, broad-shouldered, well-
made and intelligent. There Is no doubt
but tba*. he’ll put bis winnings to good
use. The next drawing is on November
8th.—Memphis Avalanche, Sept. 20th.
the meanest, triflingest white man that
ever drew breath, ana if it wasn’t for these
here sleeping, innocent angos, I’d leave
you this minute. I’ll have you to under
stand, sir, you snaggle-toothed frazzle of
an unmitigated fraud, that I’ll not be im
posed npon by any such miserable wretch
os you are. Here I’ve lain awake all night
scared to death waiting for yon to come
from the circus! Yon didn't take me
there—never once asked me to go. And
just to think that you—old enough to
have some sense—going out at night to a
circus and yout wife and children sleeping
in a loce house by their lone selves with
the front door unlocked 1 Yon ought to be
ashamed of yonrself, sir—you knockneed
idiot. Get down on your knees and thank
your stars that some man didn't come into
this house while you were gone and murder
ns! It's a nice come-off. Here I haven't had
atone dress thi3 summer and little Tom’s
got a cold because his feet are half-way on
he ground—and yon spending money on
he circus! And there’s no coal for winter)
and no flannels for the children, and I
want some clothes, nnd you’re are obliged
to have some clothes, and yet j on can go
to the circus 1 You’re a nics provider
for a family, you are! Yon ought to have
entered yourself at the fair for. the boss
husband. Yon’d taken the p:emium—yon
would. And I do believe npon my soul
you’ve been drinking! Has it actually
coma to this? Look at me, Mr.
Arter, look me Ftright in the
face—yes, I knew it—you’ve
been drinking. Look at your eyes—look
like burnt holes in a blanket, and how on
earth did yon tear them pants that way?
There’s more work for me to do, and have
to tend to the baby all day, too. But your
getting drunk—that heads me. Yon know
what I’d do if I had my way with you now?
I’d give yon nine hnndred lashes on your
bareback—that’s what I’d do. You’re a
nice old father of a family. Nice example
you are setting for young Tom. What are
y in standing there in that way for? Why
don't you oome on to bed. Standing there
like yon’d lost the last friend you ever had.”
By this Tom had realized the fact that
he was no match for Mrs. Arter, in his
present condition, and immediately began
the tactics which never fail in the Arter
family. He waited nntil she was cool, and
then be sat on the penitential stool, said
he was sor.y, first time, eto ,_ani was pro
fuse in promises. By promising four new
dresses for his wife, n pair of shoes for the
boy and a cab for the baby, he was once
more restored to favor, and the two were
ns cooing doves, while the rays of the morn
ing sun poured in at the window—having
lost a whole night’s sleep just because Tom
went to tbe circus.
Ceremonies at Bletamomf.
Richmond, Oct. 22.—The ceremonies
in this city incident to the Yorktown cel-
ebration began to-day at 2 o’clock, being
Inaugurated with a national salute by the
Richmond Howitzers. Mayor Carrington
presided over a meeting which was held
ou the capitol square, tbe grand stand
being erected at the northern eud of the
capitol building. About 5,000 persons were
assembled on tbe grounds. The ceremonies
were opened by Bishop Whittle, of the
Episcopal Church of Virginia, who deliv
ered a fervent and impressive prayer. May
or Carrington then delivered an address
of welcome; after which the declaration
of independence was read, for tbe first
time here in public since the outbreak of
the late war, by twenty-five pupils of the
Richmond High School. Tbe reading
elicited quite an enthusiastic rouud of
applause. Itev. Dr. J. L. M. Curry, the
orator of the day, was then introduced.
He dwelt principally on the growth and
prosperity of the country, and was warm
ly applauded.
The programme for to-morrow will
consist of religious exercises at the old St.
John’s Church, which will be attended
by the Uovemor, mayor and council of
the city, visiting and resident military,
and others. On Monday there will be a
review by tbe Governor of all tbe city
troops and visiting military organizations,
and at night a grand historical tableau
and a torchlight procession. The decora
tions throughout the city are iu many in
stances very elaborate. The public dis
plays include an arch dedicated
to the French, a Colonial arch
and colossal statues of the Goddess of
Liberty and tlie Goddess of Peace, erected
on opposite hills on Main street.
The festivities will continue until WedneS'
day night. All the city offices and public
and private schools will remain closed
during the time.
The Western Floods
Quincy, III., October 22—About 35,-
000 acres of land have been overflowed by
tbe break in ibo Warsaw and Indian Grove
levees. There Is imminent danger of
crevasses at East Haunibel, which would
cutout several railroad bridges. The
only means of communication now remain
ing between Quincy and tiie West is the
Louisville branch of the Chicago, Bur
lington aud Qulucy railroad. This link
is also in danger of being broken just be
low the city, the track being covered with
from twelve to fourteen iuchca of water
for two miles.
Yesterday a passenger train of fourteou
cars, with two engines, was sent from
Hannibal to Quincy over this track. The
train was made up of Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, Hannibal and St. Joseph, and
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy cars.
The scene as the train passed slowly over
the treacherous track was most thrilling.
The fire in the front engine was put out,
but the engine at the rear of the longtraiu
pushed it safely through. Trains ou tbe
the Q., M. aud P. division of the Wabash
have all been discontinued. All tracks
on the Missouri roads will suffer severely,
the water being so high that the road beds
will be washed out and bridges carried
away.
A' bad wash-out Is reported on the
Quincy, Missouri and Pacific road be
tween Humphreys aud Treuton. The
damage to the railroads,together with the
loss or live stock and the destruction of
farmlug property,will make this flood the
most disastrous that ever occurred in this
section of the country.
St. Louis, October 22.—A dispatch
from Hannibal says the Mississippi river
has risen six inches during the last twen
ty-four hours. The levee in many places
is only a few inches above the water, but
still stands firm. The 1 break near Rock-
port is constantly growing wider, and tbe
water haa already covered a great part of
the land subject to overflow by a break
in that vicinity. Refugees from Illinois
continue to arrive in great numbers with
stock and household goods. Gangs of
laborers continue to work at (he weak
places on tbo levee and tlie Wabash rail
road placidly keeps up the effort to pre
vent an overflow. The water Is now
eighteen inches below high water mark,
and twenty feet, six inches above low
water mark.
MUTILATED COIN.
Why People SIwbM Watch Tbelr
■liver Cola — Some laterestlsc
Pelate
St Louts Republican.
A report was placed In circulation
short time ago stating that the govern,
ment had issued a notice to Its sub-treasu
ry departments declaring that the value
of mutilated coins would thereafter be
only sixty-five cents on the dollar if they
failed to “pass muster.” Although the
report was unreasonable npon Its face and
false in every respect, it baa had a decided-
tendency to depreciate tbe value of de
faced silver money iu this as well as olh
er cities where the rumor has prevailed.
The government never attempted to fix
any valuation upon mutilated coins
other than to determine the market value
of sil ver they contained. It is easy to im
acine that the effect of the report la to
drive mutilated money altogether from
the avenues of commerce. Believing that
the discount at which the government re
ceived it was greater than was really the
case, many merchants and corporations
have reused to receive it at its reputed
value, and even go so far as to declare
that they
WILL NOT ALLOW
more than twenty cents for a Canadian
quarter and forty cents for a Canadian
filiy-cent piece. This Utter policy will
soon drive the Queen’s silver money either
back to Canada or to the United States
mint, where it will be treated as bullion.
In order to Investigate the matter more
thoroughly a Republican reporter started
out yesterday afternoon and visited a
number of national banks, the sub-treas
ury, the post-office, several express offices
sud some of the leading business houses
of the city where silver coin is necessarily
handled in large quantities. The Assist
ant United States Treasurer of St. Louis,
Gen. Edwards, was found in his private
office in the Equitable Life Insurance
building, on Sixth and Locust streets,
where he courteously answered all ques
tions put to him concerning the subject.
“Has the Treasury Department issued
any recent order concerning mutilated
silver coin?” was asked.
“No; but the department at -Washing
ton is becoming more exacting in han
dling silver every day. We must exercise
the greatest care in receiving coin, and
havo a man in our employ who does noth
ing but sort and pick out those pieces
which are defaced in tlie slightest man
ner. Money that would pass current in
trade wc often, land in fact I may say in
variably, reject.”
“Why are you soparticular?”
“Simply because the Treasury requires
us to be so. Some time ago tbe various
bankers of St. Louis that brought coin to
the sub-treasury complained loudly aud
criticised me quite severely
FOR BEING TOO EXACTING.
They claimed that, iu sorting, I rejected
coin which,under no circumstances.would
be placed undor the head ot defaced. I
superintended the sorting of $100,UUO in
silver pieces very carefully and then sent
it oti to the national treasury. The men
who thought I was exacting were sur
prised wheu they ascertained that $80 of
the sum forwarded was sent back to me
as mutilated coin. Come with me,” he
continued, as he arose from bis seat and
led tlie way into tho business department
of the snb-treasury, “and I will show you
what the government considers mutilated
coin.” He walked up to the desk presid
ed over by a young man who had a large
pile of half-dollars, quarters, len-
ceut pieces aud dollars in
front of him, which he picked up,
one after another, and inspected very
carefully. Eacli individual piece had to
go through the routine and lie judged ac
cording to a well-established rule. He
continued this operation until he finally
struck a half-dollar which had a slight
scratch on it, hardly ndticeable, extend
ing across the goddess of liberty. As he
picked up this coin and tossed It into a
corner with a number of other coins, Gen.
Edwards, who was watching his move
ments, turned to the reporter and said
“There is one of the bad ones which
scarcely one in a thousand would think
could fail to pass muster at any place; yet
the Treasury would never receive it under
any circumstances as anything else than
bul ! ion.”
“What do you do when the Depart
ment sends back coin to you
BECAUSE IT IS DEFACED?”
“We have a way of working that mat
ter. When a bank brings us money we
sort it and return that which fails to pass
through the ordeal. We now have con
siderable bad silver which came from
national bauk in Louisiana, which will of
course have to be redeemed by that insti
tution. Bo much of this mutilated silver
has been rejected by the treasury depart
ment that express offices, banks, the post-
offices of the country and some corpora
tions of a mercantile character now re
fuse to receive it altogether.”
The President of the Valley National
Bank declared that nono of the banks
would receive defaced silver. Whenever
any slipped into their vaults they had to
sell it as bullion to tho brokers. The re
sult of tbe strict policy of the government
be thought would be to drive much of the
proscribed money from circulation. It
would, he thought, bo in a great measure
eliminated lrom tbe avenues of commerce
The teller of the Bank of Commerce - said
that he would under no circumstances re
ceive mutilated silver money, and tbe re
porter was informed at the post-ofliee
that it was strictly against orders for any
of its employes to receive it even at a dis
count.
The head cashier at Barr’s said that
coin, when only slightly deiaced, was re
ceived by the cletks, but it was becoming
so difficult to dispose of it lately by- pass”
lug it back to customers over the counter,
that he thought he would coon be! com'
pelted to givo all that kind ot money a
wide berth. The store had
SENT LARGE l) UANTITIES
of such coin, be knew, to tlie mint, w here
it was disposed of as bullion. It was very
easy for a man in bis position to see that
the prejudice existing among merchants
was growing more intense every day. He
attributed that to reports that
have been circulated recently tbat
the government had fixed the value of
mutilated coins in such a way that they
would pass for only sixty-five cents on
dollar. Tbe store received, he believed,
Canadian quarters for twenty cents, and
allowed forty cents for Canadian half dol
lars. Eugene Jaccard’s cashier said it
was against the rules of their establish
ment to receive mutilated coin, but tbat
rather than drive customers away it was
often taken. Other merchants occupied
attitudes similar to that occupied by tbe
ones referred to in this article. Tbe gen
eral opinion among them all 2a that the
days of matilated coin are numbered.
