When arrested the Stevens' claimed as above stated, that they had bought the piano, and the other parties said that they found the house open and supposed that any one had tbe right to take what lhey fouud. Lucy Stevens and daughter were bound over to answer to the charge of burglary and tbe others for lareeny from the house.

All the children are invited to visit the studio of Miss Norris, Saturday morning at Id o’clock. Dropping into the Art Studio of Miss Norris, some vc-rv u iturul-look ing Daisies caught my eye I was told they were the work of Miss Ollic Stanford. Miss Ullie is to be congi at* ulated. My attention was then drawn to some strong, clearly and -fined draw ings of simple opjeeis, studies in form and light aaJ shade. Upon inquiry I found them to be the work of Misses Sarah Granger and Mary Y T aie. Mrs W H. Best has an elegant screen in progress. Truly, such St it dies are the radiators of culture and progress. Mbs Annie Ryan, of Atlanta, who has been spending the summer in Cartersville, returned home last week carrying with her some fiea tiful pic tures, her own work, done under the guidance of Miss Norris The work did credit, not only to her native tal ent, but to Cartersville, and we hope her success will induce her to seek the Cartersville Studios next summer Miss A nine is now attending thi Ag nes Scott Institute, at Decatur, wli -re her unselfish disposition will win for her many friends. Mr J Gazzaui Mackenzie, direct from Ashville, S. C , reached Carters viiie last week. Mr Mackenzie has been spending the summer at Ashville where he represented Hon. Jos. M. Gazzain. of Philadelphia, as president of Kenilworth Iron Company, and comes among us presumably iu be half of Ins uncle to look over the vas! mineral land interest of the Etowali company. “What is the Etowali company do ing with their property ?” is a preva lent question that Mr. Mackenzie may have heard in the city; but when he stood and viewed in breathless awe the vast possessions he was tilled with WHAT NATURE HAS HONE EUR THE ETOWAH COMPANY, and he came home humming, **l he -ca bjlli it* |N*al?>, Itiit m\ Uml. iu y l.tu i ha h i’s mitteiaV But Mr. Mackenzie rerlizes that !he ox is iu the ditch.

Mr Mackenzie w:ls cordially r - ceived by our people, who alwaysgive an iron grip of welcome to an Etowah friend, Ihe presence of a represen tative .of Hon Jos.

It were superfluous to praise her. Her name is as “ointment poured forth.” A frail and suffering body held her through these many years and became the me dium through which her pure spirit constantly shone forth, creating all around her an atmosphere of peace and love We expected her to go Ire fore very long. We knew how feeble was the silver cord that bound her to this world; and yet, when it broke, there was a sharp, sudden pain, as though we had not known she was guinp Sweet sister spirit, good bye. We follow on. You will wait for us over there, and watch for us 100. We know you will. A FRIEND. It is indeed a great year, 1888, a year of remarkable events. It may be that tVrbetfs big chin had something *> do with his ability to beat Sullivan. A paper in Germany, the Frankfort Zeitnng, says. “The rapid development of the material power of the United States menaces the continuation of the economic and intellectual supremacy of Europe." Yon liet it does. "" ’A ’ At first it was thought the kite track helped Nancy Hanks to break the rec ord. but w hen on the regulation track at the Minnesota state fair she beat the kite track lime, knocked the remaining little fraction off aud made her mile in 2:o*. tiic-u it 1-ecame evident that noth ing but the little mare, the bicycle sulky and Doble's driving did it. It is exceedingly interesting to note in con nection with this event that Professor N ipher's mathematical calculation of the speed to be reached by the trotter in 181)2 was exactly 2:07. Acids are death to the cholera bacil lus. sav Dr. Koch and several other ex pevts. There is sufficient acid In the se cretions of a healthy stomach to destroy the bacillus. Sulphuric acid is one of the best preventive* and disinfectants known. If the acid theory of rheuma tism is true —that it comes of acid in the blood— then rheumatic persons will be the ones least apt to get cholera. Some of the best physicians of the day believe that diluted sul[ill uric acid taken in lemonade iu the proportion of twenty dro|is to a tumblerful will surely pre vent any person from getting cholera, if pn-eautioiis as to absolute cleanliness and healthful food are observed. The (jiealckl Society o.’ All. The editor of The Popular Science Monthly fears that in the multiplicity of societies and clubs, benevolent "and otherwise, we may be tempted to forget sue society that is greater than all the rest, one which might be called the So ciety of Human Endeavor. We all belong to that. We were ini tiated into it when we were born. We mnst lie members of it till we die. Its requirements are that each of us shall do all the good he can toeverybody who comes iu his way— m ll< Mug. when you meet them. Lfuuc eiogj, over stiles. The society does not require that wo shall always give money in charity. Its Lind of benevolence demands that wo shall lw helpful to mankind in the way that will help mankind most, showing them how to take care of themselves, how to ix> holiest and clean, and to do as they would lie done by. We can help them most by being and doing these things ourselves. That we are as good as wo are, that we know how to take care of ourselves, is owing only to tiie fact that strong and kindly members of this great human so ciety who went before us and lived ami died in the right path showed us the way by their example. What these noble [last masters iu the brotherhood of humanity gave to ns we owe to those members who are all around us to give to them. t, The Kilciu SuflVrer. IS. E. 'lib!~.rf. a writer in the Wash ington Post, calls attention to one (-la ment in the labor troubles that has been lost sight of altogether by both “light ers and writers." This is the great pub lic that takes no direct part in the con test. The merchant, the grocer, the milkman, the banker, and the butcher, uml above all tin- women and children are the ones that suffer piost from this grim fight The tradesmen and families are the real taxpayers of a community, and on the.-e tile heavy task of making good the losses caused hv brutal anger on one side and brutal arrogance on Iho other will fall. Bo far the public Ims been the bilmt sufferer., Mrs. Hibliert is of opinion that it will not always con tin no to bo the patient beast of burden that must take Die kicks and starvation while workmen and capitalists are en gaged in a Kilkenny cat light for what each side calls a great principle. This silent sufferer, the public, is cer tainly beginning to lose sympathy with both cats. It would not sited a tear if the alleged inany-milliuiicd individuals who employ mechanics should come to bankruptcy and be obliged to work for their living watering street car horses at a dollar a day. No more will it draw out its sympathetic handkerchief at the funeral of a striker who was trying to stone a nonunion uian to JeaDi and got shot. It asks both side's to be (decent and atop this tiling here and now. It has bad enough of it. To this silent sufferer two things are clear. The first is that an employer should treat Ids workingmen exactly as he felt that he would be justly treated under their circumstances. The second is that no man or body of men has the right to prevent by violence any indi vidual from working for what wages lie pleas- s. In so far as either side violates one of these principles the silent sufferer will set itself dead against XhaMkde. There is danger of the light degenerat ing into a general war between persons who o\\ u property and those who own nothing. Capitalists owe it to their own safety to consent l*. arbitrate with tbeii own men iu ta.-s of misunderstanding. High mightiness is not a good thing on either side just now. At any rate, if these wretched troubles go on the silent sufferer will ere long conclude that this is the best country tn the world to get oat of. Then where will both sides be? The new bicycle sulky with low wheels docs not compel the driver to lean forward and sideways to lialaiico himself when passing a turn. He can sit upright ail aronud the track. It is pleasant to know that onr sister republic, France, approved heartily the measures taken here to keep out chol era. and that she co-operated thoroughly at her end of the line. Records are dangerous things, don' 1 00l with them, th y might be loa Us'. The First Ainei-U-nn Ini migrants. Some people have been curioos to know when the first Irishman came to America. They may or may not be *nr ■ prised to find that the exact date, cor , rented to suit the modern style of ! reckoning, was Oct. 21. 1492. There was an Irishman on board the Columbus i fleet that discovered tiie western world, i it will be 400 years this coining Oct. 21 when the first Irishman set foot in America. Irish occupancy therefore antedates both that of Knickerbocker and Puritan. The Irish are onr real old families. It may be mentioned that one of Columbus' sailors was an English man. There were two Italians land-! s foluuilius —Genoese sailors— but all the (it were Spaniards. It is a curious lain of fate that the nationalities that were least represented in those ships of discovery are now the ones, with tlieir descendants, that mainly own and [~m ple North America.

The ninety sea men who constituted the crew had boon secured partly by the amiable press gang system in vogue iu t hose days. Many of them, too, were criminals who hud been pardoned on condition that they go on the expedition. A jolly lot they must have been. Columbus inaugurated among them the original American plan of doctoring the returns. lie dared not let them know how far the ships sailed during the voyage, or they would have thrown him overboard and turned the ships' noses the other way. So he doc tored the logliook and made it announce that they had sailed 500 miles less than they actually had dene. Meantime he kept up their spirits, this adroit •• Ad miral Don Cristobal Colon,” by scatter tug among the sailors the following proclamation: When our tecloreel seeve-redgme honored me with the commission of ndntirul nml viceroy In those secret sens toward which we nre now steering, t considered it ns the most glorious mid joyful event of my litee, ns I now consider this moment, which seems painful to Mime of you, us second to it ouiy in joy.
