Gnrtrell has announced himBelf an Independent Democratic candidate for Governor at the ensuing October election. Has it come to this, that men should announce them selves candidates for such exalted po sitions ! What noxt ? According to the Macon Telegraph, when a lady who is able lo put up at the Markham steals a tine breastpin from n joweler’s counter and is traced to her room uild made to givo it up, her hubby puys $5.00 for the trouble, the jeweler has been put to to re claim it, and there the mutter drops. How nice to be able to put up at a big hotel A six year old child has been taken to the Atlanta Medical College, whose head, by actual|measurement,was thir ty-six and one-half inches one way and thirty-four the other way. The forehead protruded about six inches over the rest of the face, while the bead was so distant from the forehead that the Lead looked as though it was flat From temple to temple was about eight inches, and in no place was the head wider. The Jewish refugees from Russian persecution are ooming over to this country. Disston, of Florida, who owns immenso tracts of land near Lake Okcocboboe, and J. M.

A South Carolina negro has been doing a profitable business with n phonograph.g&Ho put one of those talking instruments insido a rude fig ure of a devil and attached a spring in such a manner that the cylinder would revolve|on boing started with out tho use of a crank. Thus provid' ed, ho sot up as a fortune tcllor. The negroes had never heard of a phono graph, and its voico filled* them with superstitious awe, particularly when tho seer, having drawn from hisdupes some information on the subject of their calls, and|filled the machine with astonishing answers, made it speak oracularly. At many points between Helena and Vioksburg, the river is twelve inches higher than was ever known before. This u accounted for by the fact that the Mississippi river has overflowed its banks above Osceola, Arkansas, ninety miles up the river, and a large volume of wnter pours through that country into the head waters of the St. Frances river, and again finds its wny back into the main stream fifteen miles above Helena, where the St. Frances river empties into the Mississippi. Every planta tion between Memphis and Friar's Point, Miss., is submerged, and the water extends bu.-k from either shore fifteen miles. Planters are enduring great hardships from the loss of stock, by drowning. In nearly nil the over flowed suctions, stock issufl’i ring, and wlmt w. rt* saved are kept huddled to gether mi hastily bnilt platforms. THE SENEY SYNDICATE.

The Griffin News publishes an in terview with Mr. John D. Cunning ham, proprietor of the famous Or chard Hill farm, six miles from Grif fin, from which wo gathor tho follow ing facts: Tho orchard comprises 550 acres, on which nro growing over 60,- 000 trees, of which 50,000 are bearing peach trees, bosidos about 6,000 apple and penr trees. The land cost about ten dollars an acre, and the trees about teu cents each, making u total cost, together with other improve ments, of about $15,000, and the pro priotor now says that $1 per tree would not buy it Mr. Cunningham stnted that his poaches not him about $2 per bushel, the expressago to New York being about $3.75 per bushel, being considerably more than the en tire cost of raising and marketing the fruit Mr. Cunningham claims to own the largest peach orchard in the world. There is one in Delaware nearly as large, bat Mr. Cunningham expects to plant 200 additional acres, and then no one will be able to dis pute his claims. ANHONESTCONFEDERATE. What Senator Vest, of Missouri. Says of Hie Past Record- VANOE ON TARIFF. Senator Vance, of North Carolina, thus closes a masterly effort on the tariff question: Protection is like Aunt Jemimas’s lyilytiyheyoHI-man,a back—the more she tried to pull it off, the bard or it stuck. It is the great political tapeworm. It is an infant that gets angrily jealous every time there is new baby in the bouse. Great care is taken not to allow the rising cotton factories of the South to purchase cheap machinery. Rich and pam- pored manufacturers in New England wore much harder to struggle against than the horde of European paupers. The South was tickled with the hope of free apple whiskey some day, but she preferred free cotton machinery. A judicious lowering of the tariff and utter extirpation of the internal rev enue service was a disciplined politi cal machine, to bedevil mountaineers and carry elections for the Republi can party. When Virginia Democrats agreed to a debt paying policy, the Republican Administration menaced its myrmidons with dismissal, unless they aided and abetted repudiation Ho opposed the lop-sided commission urged by Sonntor Morrill, because the verdict on hog stealing wns to be ren dered by men who had gotten some of the pilfered pork. But as a sop to Cerberus, bank checks, which the poor never had, were to be released from taxation, and matches were to go free, for the benefit of saloon keepers. Pat ent medicines were to have a day of grace, and the American stomach wss to becorno a wholesale recipient of mysterious nostrums, whereby speedy exit to tho grave was assured This increase of mortality would add to the protected valne of Vermont tombstones and Ruthland Marble.— Ours is tho grandest land upon the planet, with its 700,000 square miles of sun-kissed soil nnd 2,000,000 acres laughing with grain harvests. We had a new Egypt watered by a new Nile, wLich bad gigantic development even nndor repression. We reached out our arms for an all-embracing commerce, bat were stopped by a New England spinning jenny I Protection enriched one man at the expense of ten others. Wealth is concentrated and penury diffused by a prohibitive tax tbat is unwise, unjast, unconstitu tional. Give ns a free land, with free labor, free ships and free competition. Hon. Peter Cooper, of New York, is ninety-one years old, and is as hale and hearty ns you please. " Mr. Pn sident, I was a Confeder ate, honestly and earnestly; my whole 8oal de^pt-.i to the success of tbat catue whirl, surrendered at Appomat tox; and if I mention this personal history now , it is only that I may say most emphatically that I accepted, without limitation or evasion, the fall and legitimate results of that surren der. All that I have ever asked, all that I ask now, and all that the Sontb •aka, is that we may be believed to be honest in having espoused tho Con federate cause, and honest in oar statement of having accepted folly the results of its defeat. Mr. President, those who risked and lost all havo a right to demand this, and it will be accorded by every just and generous I mind.” I A 920.00 Bible Prize.
