This is not to be paid in currency,l be

This payment by Cole, when it is ap

What has Georgia to show to this big
debt.
Oh ! sho lias plenty of assets. She
has the 3-iitc 1011 intimated at all tho
way fr >m lire to ten millions. Then
she lias the property here and at Milled

Something to Remember.
Nvor mint tliu soutii forgut Unit
Murk TiVtiin, ti New England man,
in a Rjntfuli to a Now England atidi
onuo, dining tho litft prasidontial
campaign, said that if Iho protool
ive tunir laws wore ropealnd, and
there was a tnrill' for revenue only,
the south would grow ro rich sho
would not know what to do with
her money—she would in a fow
years bo able to Imy and sell tho
norih, because if the tariff was re
pealed, the south would no longer
be forced to buy of the north, but
would buy of old England at far
cheaper rates and the price of Iter
cotton would lie the same. The
statement ought to rouse every man
woman and child in tho south to a
sense of tho iniquity of tho robbing
tariff laws,
Tlie Society's Mistake-
The gill low*, the penitentiary, tlie
jail, are the uliaipe of our civilization
and tlie society that neglects its
children and lets them grow up
in ignorance and vice is responsi
ble for the gallowH, tlie penitentiary
and the jail. Society ignores the
child of poverty or misfortune;
friendless* gmdcless lie is left to
work his own way through our un
feeling world. lie is lured into
tho hnuntH of vice, learns to steal
to drink, to murder. Them out
raged society seizes him, jails him,
hangs him The neglected,aband
oned child becomes tho wicked
outlaw for whom prisons and scaf
fold are built. Ilow much better
and more creditable to our Christi
anity and civilizfttion it would be if
the millioi s that are annually'spefit
in watching, prosecuting, punish
ing and feeding criminals were
spent in looking after and caring
for the unfortunate outcasts from
whom tho criminal class mainly
comes and for whom nobody seems
to ca.ic.

Some notion of cost of land transfers
in England may be gathered from a let
ter written by a law firm in defense of
their profession against the charge of
high fees. The land in question was
sold for $52,500, From the government
it was necessary to obtain stamps, which
cost $205, and the agent of the vendor,
who merely sold the property, was pad

Tlie liveliest theft that we have read
of lately is related by the York Sun
of a policeman who was arraigned t>r
stealing lire oels. The tbiet pat his
slippery booty in his pocket, but they
would not keep still, they were playing
“heads and tails* 4 all the while, until
the fellow was arrested.
She Wanted a Warrant.
Brooklyn E&qle.
Sav, mister, I want a warrant
right quick! exclaimed an irate *o J
man, as she dashed into police head
quarters.
What do you want of a warrant?
asked tho sergeant..
For my servant girl. Has she
got any right to chase me around
tho house with a clothes-polc?
Certainly not.
That is what 1 thought. Which
of us has a right to eat at tho first
table, she or me?
Why you, of onurse.
So I supposed, I want to know
if I have got to sleep on tlie back
fence with tho cats lour nights in a
week while she gives parties in tho
kitcheu?
Assuredly not. Why don't you
discharge hei?
1 can't get near enough. Say,
dots tho law justify her iu using
my lal.se teeth to draw carpet-tacks,
and mailing mo sliiu around with
nothing on but a hair-pin and a
sore throat whilo sho wears my
clothes to a wake.
I don't believe it doeß.
So I concluded. Gi mo a war
rant here.
You'll have to go before tho Judge
in tho morning.
Will, eiil Well. I wont? If you
think I'm going to waste any more
time with that girl you're left. To
morrow morning tho oil-can will be
left alongside the Kitchen sto>. e, and
it you Hud a job lot of legs and
backbone around your precinct you
can make up your mind that that
girl is out of a job, and I'm busy
c 1 octing the insurance. Y r ou hoar
this,! wittering!
And she left tho soreroant wond
ering if oven dynamite would have
any effect on a girl who could got
the best of that woman.
How Babie;3 are Treated in
India.
Thero is health in sunshine—ta
ken iu proper quantities.-but ottr
American mothers would rather
shrink from administering it to
their babies in such allopathic dos
es as tho Hindoo women do.
A missionary iu India visited a
house one day where there was a
new-born baby which was about
tho color of a pink sea-shell.
How pretty! said tho visitor to
tho mother.
Oh, was the reply, she* 11 bo black
like the rest of us aft- r I lmvo put
her out in tho sun for a few day!’!
And sure enough when tho n txt
evil was made, the poor baby was
found baking iu the hot Indian sun
stretched on a hit of board, with
only a piece of cotton cloth undo l
its .toad for ap l ow, Its tody hid
been first smeared with mustard oil
according to the strange fashion in
that land. The mothers aro much
surprised to learn that Atnorican
children are not trc.'.tcd in the same
way.
The Value of Local Papers.
Every honest reflecting mind
knows t hat the local newspaper adds
much to the general wealth and
prosperity of the plnco, us well as
increases the reputation ol the town
abroad. It benefits all who bate
business in the Dlaco, enhances the
value of property, besides being a
public convenience, oven if not con
ducted in the interest of tho ruling
political power, Its colurns are
not filled with brilliant editorials,
still it benefits you in every way
It increases trade.it cautions against
impos tion, it saves you from loss,
it warns you of danger, it points
out different adrantagss and ia
ereises your pr. fits. Now, if you
want such a psper yon must sup
port it by advertising your business
in it; assist in incroasmg its circula
tion by getting your neighbors to
subscribe with you for it. If you
want such a paper, you must not
oonvider it an act of charity to sup
port it, but as a means to increase
your own wealth as well as that of
the place in which you live, there
fore, sup, ort it by advertising and
subscribing and paying for it.
