jjjjhi: Jfttoqfiiei - Jyyeiti, It is rumored that the prisidcncy of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad will ho tendered to Mr. Cleveland next June. It ia needless to say that Mr. Cleveland would not ae cept the presidency of that or nny other railroad. Albany News: Two bnzzards were caught in this city and turned loose with little sheep bells. Each bird sailed off, and the jingling of the lit tle bells could plainly heard until they were several hundred feet above terra firms. Look out for the helled buzzards. The great Baptist preacher of Eng land, Mr. Spurgeon, will he heard no more probably until next spring, and perhaps not then. In fact, lie may never preach another sermon. lie is suffering from severe rheumatic gout; and reports of his condition are very unfavorable. Some peoplo arc much troubled about Mr. Cleveland's future than Mr. C. himself. We know of no man who has more to hope for. He has won the respect of the country. He is nt the meridan of life. He has ability, character, fame, a moderate fortune and a lovely wife. This enumeration of his blessings is, of course, climat ic. It is not stated whether the insuf ficiency of natural gas in Pittsburg iron works at certain hours is due to a gradual failure of the supply or to growth of the demand beyond the original capacity ofthe wells. If the former cause is the true one, liatu The Public Schools of Georgia. The report of State School Com missioner Hook, covering the educa tional operations of this State for 1887 and 1888, shows that the en rollincnt of pupils in the public schools for 1887 was 342,294, of which 208,805 were white and 133, 429 were colored. This was an in crease over the previous year of 22, 570, but the average regular attend ance showed a decrease or 117. The attendance of children and youn people of school age was 71.3 per cent, for the whites and 49.4 per cent- for the colored. The fund for public school pur- poses is derived from the following sources: Half rental of the State road, dividends on Georgia railroad stock, tax on shows, liquor tax, hire of convicts, fees for inspecting fertil izers and poll tax. The fund for 18S7 was f489,008.54, and it will be increased this year by about $25,000. From this, however, may be deducted the expense of printing, and the sal aries of State county commissioners, amounting to about $30,000. Divid ing the fund for 1887 among those composing the school population, each child was entitled to 82 cents; dividing it among the pupils en rolled, each was entitled to $1,35. Commissioner Hook takes the po sition that the school term should lie prolonged to six months. He shows from a report made by his predecessor, the late l)r. Orr, that to Oaiiilf*i J s Oyster Bill. Sikunnith New*. Our Yeteniu Soldiers. Mncon Telegraph. Dr. Oemler's bill for the protection 1 ' Vc (, ° °" r d,lt >* the men suffered in the war. of the oyster fisheries on the Georgia coast is a very important measure, and should receive very careful con sideration from the Legislature, As long as the oysters were taken only to the extent of supplying the wants of those living along the coast, there was uo occasion for making riilea and regulations for preventing the oyster beds from becoming exhaust ed. The demand for oysters in the great centers of population has be come so great, however, that there is danger that oysters will become re markably scarce on the Georgia eoast within a very few years unless they are protected by law. Many of the beds are already exhausted, and it is much more difficult now to dredge a boat load oysters than it was a few years ago. The Georgia beds are drawn upon to help supply the demands of the northern cities, and the number of men who are en gaged in the oyster business is large and steadily increasing. Dr. Oemler’s bill may or may not be the one that should lm passed, but no one who is interested in pre venting the oyster fisheries from be ing destroyed can doubt that iegis- j lation of some kind is needed. The Georgia does something for them, but not enough. A home for Confederate veterans is established in Richmond. Both should be royally endowed and well supported. Wherever there is a brok en down Confederate soldier in dis tress the community in which he lives is disgraced if he not cared for. The war is over and we have no desire to revive one of its issues, but we should cherish and teach our children to cherish the honor of the men who, at the bidding of these Southern states, risked their all and bore the brunt of a hitter contest. They are loyal to the uni>:i and would fight for it now as they fought for the Confederacy. Butjthey arc shut out from the care of the government and must reniM.ii so. They are our pecu liar charge. They wrote with their blood the brightest page of our his tory, and left in their record a heri tage for us and ours richer than wealth and prouder than power. They have asked us no favors, and if we await their petition our consider ation will never find opportunity for exercise. The flowing years of their lives were withered in the heat of a WRi (Si! 1 !

It came about in this way: He had bequethed $1,000,000 for an art gallery in Pittsburg, but he be came angry because the city control ler had some of his property levied on to pay’ a security debt. The doc tor thought the action was hasty, as he would have paid the debt anyway, and lie at once tore the will into shreds. He could not bo induced to make another.

A Washington special to the Hal limore Sun says: “Mrs. Cleveland was very much disappointed at the result of the election, and has been candid enough to acknowledge it. She, however, does not think all the world is dark, and expects to be just as happy for the future. No White House lady has ever been more pop ular than she, and her bright, wind- si:uc ways are certain to bring her as many true friends !n private ns in public life. A French journalist thinks that the English language is being swamp ed with words cuding in "lion,” and produces the following from a legis lative report as proof: “The session ended with a question regarding the opposition of the administration to te.\ of a little more than one-tenth Lp they can at any season of the of i per cent, would raise the re- j v ,, or Time don’t qttired amount, ami no one would feel tlie burden very greatly.

The Macon Telegraph says: “The Chattahoochee Valley Exposition, now in progress at Columbus, is re- mnrkalile for a good many things,but one ol» its most notable features is the line display of Georgia raised slock. Only a few veins ago such ,v show could not have been made any where in this State. Our farmers began to learn that it paid to have good horses and that it is cheaper to raise them at home than to buy tjieni from Kentucky and Tennessee drovers. The example of one man who makes a successful practical ex periment stirs a whole community, and so the influence of the few men iu different parts of Georgia who began a systematic improvement of farm stock has spread rapidly. Now there is no part of the State where tho farmers arc not working! in a direction to which very few of them paid any attention a sliort#wliile ago. The determination to raise, as far as possible, their own provisions has] been followed by the determination to make Georgia furnish her own stock. A ride through almost any county in the State will show grati fying evidences that this is wise policy. The numerous county lairs that have been held in Georgia this fall have givcu fresh impulses to the Georgia stock boom. Tho State Fair at Macon helped it along considera bly.’ future of tlie fisheries doesn’t con cern (hem. Tho Legislature should give Dr. Ocipier a careful hearing, and if bis bill is not exactly what it ought to lie, let it be amended; but the Legis lature will make a grave mistake if it does not erect a barrier in the shape of stringent laws against the destruction of tlie oyster fisheries. Pullman C;ir Service. The conductor and engineer on the freight train that was tho cause of a collision on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad on November 5th, in which three persons were killed, have been indicted for manslaughter and war rants issued. Criminal carelessness in trainmen require cognizance by the proper authorities as a warning to oth ers. The men, of course, intended no hurt to any one, but acts of careless ness are construed by law ns though the intent was proven. Men. familiar with danger, arc apt to become indif ferent to it themselves, and the law must inflict punishment to protect ative to the authorization necessary ! the limbs and lives of those who en for the erection of a construction of trust themselves to the prudence of the revolution.” ) trainmen. Some excitement lias arisen in railroad circles over tho hill now- drawn up nnd ready for presentation before the Kansas State Legislature to regulate the operation and correct abuses of the Pullman car services. The bill regulates the price of berths at $2 per night and $3 per 24 hours. The upner bcrflis, when vacant,must lie clu.>, aid ventilation, and the maximum wages of tlie porter is fix ed at $2.50 per day instead of $12 per week, the former rate, while it makes it a misdemeanor for the por ter to accept any “tips” or remuner ation for services rendered from the passengers. The measure also deals with the through atul local tariff's of the service, and wherever any dis crepaucies have appeared a remedy has been proposed. Heretofore it was possible for a passenger travel ing any distauce to beat the through rate for the same aceomjnodations. On hiring porters the company has considered the tips received from passengers as an item in the salary paid, and as a consequence lias forc ed many impositions upon tlie trav eling public. A Washington dispatch states that the President and Postmaster Gen eral announced at the Cabinet meet ing on Tuesday that the first demo cratic officeholder to resign since the Republican victory was Dr. A. D. Mai kly, postmaster at Ilatboro, Pa., Dr. Markly, an old Jacksonian dem ocrat, made up his mind that if the democrats were defeated lie would be the first democrat to resign. He kept liis word promptly. His exam ple will not be followed very exten sively in Washington. Most ofthe democratic officials will wait until the 4th of March before resigning. Extravagant Figures. The Atlanta Constitution says: “Undoubtedly a Presidential elec tion iu an expensive affair, blit if the New York Herald is to be believed the cost of a campaign is more tliau the country can afford. Several prominttt business men wbo were interviewed by the Herald I claimed that the cost of a national I election, measured by its effect upon | business, was $509,090,900.* It is stated Unit the clearing house reports show this estimate to be correct. The truth is, a Presidential elec tion is only u slight check to the bus iness of the country. The farmers go on producing, and the factories continue to run. Consumers have to buy goods as usual. It is true that the great capitalists nnd speculators arc slow about making investments, but after the ballot lias decided tlie issue they wake up to tho fact that there lias been no revolution, and then they proceed to place their mon ey where it will yield the largest re turns. The American people are too sen sible and law-abiding to permit their material interests to suffer.

Editob: Please read the in closed poem carefully, and return it to me,with your candid criticism as soon as possible, as I have other irons in the fire.” To which the editor replied: “I: move the irons and in sert the poem.” A stout, elderly lady was hanging by a strap and casting black looks at an inoffensive but ungallant dude, who sat sucking his cane: a sudden lurch of the car caused the lady to tread on his foot with great force. “Say, don’t you know,” exclaimed the youth, “you’ve crushed my foot to a jelly.” “It’s not the first time I’ve made calf s-foot jelly,” retorted the woman severely, as he vanished and she prepared to sit down.
