Ohio bun it law requiring biennial aea- aiona and alao ban n custom ot bolding special sessions regularly in the oil years. The Constitution forbids it in Georgia, but the Legislature deties the Constitution, not of Atlanta, bat of the State. A not for the Atlanta prohibitionists: An Ohio doctor, who bos been collecting facts about opium eating, believes that be can demonstrate that the use of narcotics is most common in towns where the sale of alcoholic beverages is not permitted. Ex-8enatob Thurman, in a letter to his intimate friend, O. B. Ficklin, of Charles. tOD, 111., says: “You will never be grati fied by seeing me enter public life again, tm now on tho retired list with my own fall consent, and with no inclination what ever for active life except aa a private.’ 1 member When we hear of a Republican of Congress introducing n bill to pay Sam uel ,7. Tilden his salary as President of these United States fur four years, wo shall begin to think the “grand old party" is put ting ilself in position to pose as a genuine reformer. We do not take mnch stock in the reform that lcavos the greatest wrongs unremedied. The contempt of tho Indians for the army is thus illustrated: When General Sherman was st Fort Bayard he was asked by an Indian chief for an old field piece that stood ont in tho enclosure. “Can'l have it," was tho answer. “Why not?" “What do yon want with It: to kill sol diera?" “Soldiers? Ugh, no. Use ’em kill cowboys. Kill soldiem with club.” Amono the experiments on the liquor question is this embodiod in a hill in the Ohio Legislature: Every man who desires to be an habitual drinker mast go before a probata j nil go and obtniu a permit, on pay ment of fifty cents, which will entitle him -to purchase whisky at saloons. The bill makes it a punishable offense for a saloon keeper to sell liquor to a person not hold ing such a permit. l'ooa Florida just now is having a multi tude of sins laid against her. Arthnrapent a few days there some years ago, and now that bis stomach is giving wny, the New York Tribune says: ”In the trip to Florida while he woa President, ho contracted nin- lam,'and this has annoyed him ever since.' 1 Any man who has lived in Washington and can chamber six brandy, cocktails before breakfast, ought to treat Florida malaria with unbounded contempt. In a private letter Secretary of 8tate Boy. aid thus speaks of the recent attack on him in the North American Review: “There lives not a human being to whom I would at this moment intentionally give pain, and therefore I had rather pirn away from men who disgust me by their bnaenoss snd wound me by their venom. The kingdom is within, snd a man who means to be hap py must be oontent within. It ie the fate of high place to afford an easy target for any assault, and I must not expect excop tion. I do not think a thousand North American Reviews can change my real char- acter nor my jnst repute with honorable and sensitive men. Rut they can give p-in to a great many innocent people.” Iowa continues to kick against prohibl rion. W. R. Vaughan, mayor of Council Bluffs, and chairman of the executive com- Jnittee of the mayors of Iowa, who met in convention in Des Moines on December 16 "to'discus* the prohibition question, has issued s call for s meeting in Dos Moines of persons in favor of a high license law, to be held on Wednesday, January 27. The ob ject of the meeting, according to the call, is “to sid snd counsel the executive commit tee, and to see and anggeet to their respect ive Senators and Representatives the ne- ceesity of independent and prompt action in this important matter. The question to he decided is, shall the old bine laws of Connecticut of more than a hundred years ago become the prevailing laws of Iowa, now in the evening of the nineteenth ccn- tnry? . The Charleeton News snd Courier does s little ciphering. It says: “A new directory of Atlanta has been published by authority of the city council of that place. It con tains £0,000 names. The publisher declares that ‘if one name represent* three souls in population Atlanta has apparently 60,000 people.' The new directory of Charleeton contains CO,000 names. According to the Atlanta mode of competing population. Charleston Las 180,000 inhabitants. This little sum wdl show the great advantage of a practical application of Georgia mathe matics to South Carolina affairs.” Aa every individual in a negro family has a different the Atlanta isat will not work. ^Twenty-one thousand is about tbs figures Atlanta's permanent population. Of use when Uu> chain-gang is voted it sounds bigger. A Parson'* itttiil un Miiulay Taper*. The wandering evangelists who are indus triously handing the hat around in various localities, have connidered it part of their stage business to pitch into Sunday news papers. It has not done Sunday newspa pers any harm, and may perhaps have given pleasure to the people who are contributing to the support of tho evangelists and their families. It begins to appear as though there ia to be a war waged between the pulpit and the preas, which should be two great moral and educational allies. The well-conducted newspaper has found its way into the hands of millions of people of both sexes and all ages and conditions of life, and is being recognized as one of the mighty public levers. A few nights since the Typotheal Society of New York, gave a banquet. This society is composed largely of printers, and the peciul object of this particular banquet was to glorify Benjaman Franklin. Among the invited guest was Dr. Paxton, a Presbyterian divine, noted for bis pulpit oratory, who was expected to pay for his ilrink and victuals, with lria post prandial oratory. The learned and reverend gentle man rather disturbed the pleasure of the occasion, and revealed the true secret of the opposition of some preachers to newspapers. ‘Though a guest of printers and sitting among the writers of books and for news papers, be chose to improve, the occasion by hnrling at the company the most bitter and wholesale denunciation of books and newspapers, and wlieu his remarks seemed to be unpalatable he tiew into a rage and refused to go on until a courteous printer had used every art of flattery to bring him to his foot again. Dr. Faxton'exasperating. ly said ‘the press is over the pulpit and has usurped our Sunday.” Accordingly he proceeded to abuse with violence the rival of which he confessed he was afraid, and in his passion cried out against all reading. No man is ever wiser from reading tho pa pers.’ he exclaimed, ’and no one would be more ignorant if ho let them go unread.' The opinion of the assembled company was unanimous that Ibe Reverend Dr. Fax- ton had made an unmitigated ass of himself. Criminal Neglect. Looking over the vast list of such cases, wo are struck with tho fact that the strang er who marries the ambitious villago girl is generally either a thief, a forger or a biga- mist. Marriage for girls is a lottery at heat but the girl who takes an unknown husband draws from a wheel in which there are none but blanks. The latest case in point is that of Miss Nettie Dorsey, of North Bend, Neb., who married, without the proper precautions, dashing stranger hearing tho euphonious name of Harry llaycs Claire, and began wedding tonr. In less than a week tho detectives had Harry llaycs Claire hand cufled under a warrant for forgery and horse-stealing. In less than another week proof was furnished that be had a wife and two children living in Indiana. Few people will have the heart to blame greatly the chief sufferer in this sad drama. Tho girl in her teens, is as a rule unstispl cions and easily deceived, but words fail express the opinion we entertain of the natural protectors of such unfortunate* as Mias Dorsey. It seims to he a settled fact that there are men who will blindly entrust to a stranger the lives, honor and happiness of thoir female kin upon less security than they would demand for a loan of fifty dollars. If, when communities rise np and lynch snob scoundrels as Claire, they would pay a vis it to the accessories through criminal negligence and leave with them coats of tar and feathers, the moral effect would bo good. A than should understand that ho is not only responsible to hie word or (laugh ter in such matters, but society alao. A St. Louis paper notices the arrival and departure of the North Carolina negroes hound for California. “About seventy negroes, including children, came in lost night via tho Iron Mountain and left at once via the Missouri Facrfic (or California. It seems Unit Lucky Baldwin, who owns a large ranch near Los Angeles, has had con siderable trouble with his Chinese laborers of late and concluded to fire them out and try uegroes. About a month ago he sent an agent to North Carolina to seenro, if possible, enough reliable negroes to work his ranch. The negroea were found, and found penniless, too, bat Baldwin fixed all that by depositing sufficient money in n bank at Los Angeles to defray all their ex penses from starting point to destination, lie then telegraphed to General Passenger Agent lI.C.Town*end,of the Missouri Pacific 'to send them niggers along.' The funny part of it was that Townsend had to have enough rations cooked at the starting point to last the party to St. Louis, and another anpply prepared here to last them through to the ranch. When the ‘rations' were put aboard last night, one old negro kicked vig orously because there was no 'molasses,' but that 'deficiency' was soon made good, and the party went on their way rejoicing. They travel in what is called an emigrant sleeping car.* They were a jolly lot, and seemed pleased at theiropportunity to 'go West'" world, and there are many axes to be ground. It is not beyond the possible that journals which decry Florida may be work ing in the interest of emigration companies that are pulling westward instead of south ward. The safest plan for those who wish pnrehase land in Florida or anywhere else is to examine in person or by a known agent the locality selected and to pnrehase only after the titles have been serntinized. But this is a rule that applies not only to Florida but to all other sections. The man who ignores them is apt to get bitten in the most moral community he may select. Nauseated With tlielr Own Medicine. Our noon dispatches leave the House of Representatives on the brink of a tillibus- tering campaign. The Republicans hoped get in some campaign literature in the way of partisan speeches over Boutelle's resolution, but ns Billy Chandler and Ma- bone and their methods are to be investigat ed, they take no further interest in the sub ject. With tho spirit already manifested, we may reasonably look for a long session, occasionally illnminnted by partisan con tests. So, far, but little attention boa been devoted to the business of the people. If, as we suspect, a contest of endurance has been opened, the opportunity is fair for the display of the disciphne of the Demo cratic majority in the House. The Ucpub- licans should have their own medicine forced down their own throats.

It was frequently intermingled with trenchant, quaint remarks, leavened with a quiet, graceful humor of her own; bnt it was emi nently calculated for a tele-a-Me. All that she said was always worth hearing, l’er sons were never her theme, unless public characters were under discussion or friends were to be praised, which kind office she frequently took upon herself. -Fashionable Parisian women are wear ing black and white in compliment to Queen Isabella, who lives among them mourning her son, Black velvet robes, black satin and jet silks appear at the Opera Comique and, so absurd cun fashion bo in the fnce of Borrow, it is the thing just now for these gorgeous black gowned dowagers to have always with them at opera or theatre somo young girl dressed in pure white to sot off their sombre clothes. —Congressman Reagnn, of Texas, dresses in black clothes, cut indifferent as to stylo, and usually weafi asloun-liat.

Hia health was completely undermined, and it has taken almost twen ty years to overcome his severe dyspepsia. His equanimity of temper suffered corres pondingly, and there were few people who would brave hia remarks by a visit to the huge orange plantation which he cultivated. It is almost nnnecess iry to add that his re stored health has completely altered hi* disposition, and that there are few more genial men than be to-day in Cali fornia. The example of tho London and North western Kailway Company in substituting metal crosaties for wooden ones will have to be followed by some of the railroads of this country before long. Already wooden crosaties sre becoming scarce in many sec tions, and as they have to be frequently re placed they are very expensive. The reporter of the Louisville Courier- Journal at Dawson, Ky., referring to the recent cold weather in his vicinity, states that “fire was burning with intrepidity,” but that this did not prevent the freezing of the chemicals in the jars in the telegraph of fice, aud, to add jeBt and tone to his report, he adds that coal oil was frozen into solid cakes of ice. Finally “the sun was emit ting his bright rays of splendor, notwith standing the peerless wind was penetrating and perpetual." The Italian police are making vigorous efforts to stop the purchase and exportation of children. Several persons engaged in the nefarious traffic have been arrested. An organ-grinder and his wife who were ar rested at Rome were found in possession of two lads of sixteen and one of seven, whom they were taking to France to dispose of in the labor market there. The lads bod been bought of their parents in the province of Caseria. One had been sold for $26, and the other two, who are brothers, for $10.75 each. A “bkcarbe" is the latent title for Paris ian dandies, and the term is also used to re place the now well worn expression “chic.” The "becarre" must be grave and sedate, after the English model, with short ha ! r, tight hair collar, small moustache and whiskers, but no heard. He must always look thirty years of age, must neither dance nor affect the frivolity of a floral button hole, or nny jewelry, must shako hands limply with ladies, and gravely bend his head to gentlemen. “Becarre"—being translated—is "natural,” used in a musical sense. A novel Parisian “agpncy” is one which advertises wedding guests for hire by young coupleB who wish to make a brave show on their bridal day. It seems that th8 leasing of wedding presents is no longer a custom sufficiently piquant to meet the taste of the gay capital, but the new institution will, perhaps, keep the gossips busy for a sea son, and incidentally come to the relief of the exhausted American paragrnpher. The terms of those engaged in the new industry are said to bo moderate, varying according to the class of the contracting parties and the degree of dress selected. Vessels plying the placid Mediterranean now have a hidden foe moro to be dreaded than the sharpest reef. Shipmasters are warned of the erratic torpedo which has lately broken away from its moorings, and is drifting about seeking to entrap some unsuspecting craft. It seems that the Tripoli government, in a sudden panic at the prospect of an Italian invasion, tilled its ports with 18,000 men and strung tor pedoes across its harbor. During the re- A REMARKABLE CHARACTER! A Slave Who Followed the Fortune* of Confederate Army.

During one of the battles he saw master killed by an Indian bullet, and him away in a soldier’s grave amid the e i glades of Florida.

The New York Herald ha* inaugurated a crusade against some of the paper towns of Florida, a good work, if carefully conducted, since every honest man in Florida is ham pered and the whole State damaged by the men who do btuineai there npon false rep resentations. Like all new countries, Flo rida contains many sharpers and wildcat schemes by which over-confident people are defrauded and the whole section brought into disrepute. The evil is, we believe, not greater there than in Texas and other West ern State* that offer inducements to emi grants.
