The Idea that over $330,000,000 can : be collected from the people of this : country on top of the State and local j taxes without being “felt” ought to be ! too preposterous on its face to require : rel'utal. All the Federal taxes upon i consumption, even those of the inter nal revenue system, are now “indi rect."

The report of tween men in business transactions. In a gathering recently of five or six gentlemen, most of whom, at least, am reputed to be wealthy, doubt was expressed by each one if there is a man in New York who could draw his check for $1,000,000 and have it hon ored in actual cash. One of the gen tlemen, an eminent financier, said: “If you will take up the bank reports and run over the figures you will be astonished to see how few banks have actually $1,000,000 in cash on hand. That tells the story at once of any man’s ability to check out $1,000,000. We are In the habit on this side of the water of thiukiog that the accumula tion of money in London is greater than in New York. I know of an in stance not IoDg since which is a fair illustration of these million-dollar checks. A London man had a busi ness transaction in which a payment was to be made to him of £68,000.

"MOTHER’S FRIEND” Not’only shortens the time of labor and lessens the intensity of pain, but it greatly diminish es the danger to life of both mother and child and leaves the mother in a condition highly favorable to speedy recovery, and far less liable to Flooding, Convulsions, and other alarm ing symptoms incident to slow or painful labor. Its wonderful efficacy in this respect entitles it toTie called The Mother’s Friend, and to be ranked as one of the life saving remedies of the nine teenth century. From the nature of the case, it will of course be understood that wc cannot, publish certifi cates concerning this remedy without wounding the delicacy of the writers Yet we have hundreds ol such testimonials on file.

I must hurry,” said the smaller man, and he planted a blow under his bur ly antagonist’s ear, stretching him at full length on the sidewalk. Then, lookiDg at his watch again, he was off before a crowd had time to collect. The big man slowly arose to bis feet and slunk away, with a disposition to let the matter drop. the necessities of the people or the es sentials of manufactures. Is it not an insult to the intelligence of the people to tell them that they “do not feel’’ the $309,000,000 of taxes on consumption which they paid last year? Would they not “feel” the money if they had h»d it to spend in other ways, or now had it in their pockets or in the bank? The place for the surplus Is In the pockets of the people. “Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation.” And ail taxes are “felt.” ed the cash for the check. They had not so much money on band, and were obliged to ask him to wait until they could go to the Bank of Eng land and procure it. When he had se cured the cash he went to another banker to make a deposit. Thesecoud house refused to accept the money on deposit until be had explained to them iL the fullest manner where he got it. They had never heard of so large a ieposit being made in cash at one rime. They would not accept it with out knowing where it came from, and looked on him with suspicion. Of course the Bank of Euglaud had money enough to meet such a check <>r a much larger oue, the same as the United States Treasury would be able to meet a great demand. But the fact that £6S.OOO should be a stumper for two of the biggest banking establish ments of London indicates how small a part actual cash plays iu the busi ness transactions of the day.” Where is the Benefit? Charleston News and Courier.! The Republicans and the blind fol lowers of certain statesmen and news papers who claim to belong in the Democratic camp, but always work for Ihe success of protection, insist that a high tariff is necessary for the support of our iufant manufactures, and also of laborers. Some cf the or gans of protection went the surplus revenue of the Government cut down by increasing the tariff on certain ar ticles to such an extent as to prohibit importation. Window glass is one of the articles on which these “friends of the American laborer” want the duty increased. An examination of the manufacture of this article will show in a most 1 striking degree one of the beauties of The duty on window Putting on the Screws.

I make the assertion tbat Ihe most successful men in business, law and literature are reformed drunkards. It seems that when a mau drinks until he be comes thoroughly convinced that un less he changes his course he will never amount to anything, he is mov ed by a power which sober men never feel, that he calls to his aid an ability which men who have always been temperate cannot summon. He has to build his character and his business at the same time; and buildiugup one seems to help the other. Now, theie was Horace Greeley—” "He never drank.” “What, Horace Greeley never drank?” “Never took a drink in his life.” “Well, we’ll take Daniel Webster.” “Webster didn’t reform.” "What, Daniel Webster didn’t re form?” “No, sir.” “Well, then, we’ll take—bang it, we’ll take a drink.” i duct, the tax goes to the American j producer.

Chicago Herald.] The command of a large army tasks the resources of the greatest mind. It is one of the highest of human achievements, and by common con sent the first rank of fame Is accorded to the great Generals. To move an army and to feed it on the march re quires a higher order of generalship than to fight it. Thirty hours with out supplies would reduce the best army to a helpless mass of disorgan ized humanity. Food for the men, forage for the animals must not only be provided, but must be at the pre cise spot when wanted. Napoleon, the great master of the art of war, had a score of marshals, any oue of whom could fight a great battle, and scarce one of whom could lead an army on the march. An army on the march resembles nothing so much as an enormous ser pent, stretched out mile upon mile, and moving, alert and watchful, with steady and irresistible force. Let dangers threaten and it hastily coils itself together and prepares to avert or overcome the danger. Shrunk to a fraction of its former dimensions, it shows Us fangs and is ready for attack or defense. The danger overpast, the great mass unfolds its coils again and stretches ont its huge proportions in progressive movement. The brain of this mighty animal, the supreme mind that controls its every motion, is tbe general in chief.

Georgia is credited with 5,291 Sab bath schools, 2S3,414 pupils and 30,- 887 teachers. A splendid showing for any State. But there is still room for advancement. Albany is to have a new bank, street railroad and waterworks. The spirit of enterprise is abroad in the land, and it can find no more profita ble field than Albany. A fine mineral spring has been dis covered between East Point and the United States military post. It af fords a hold and perpetual stream of water which is strongly impregnated with mineral. Dr. Hawthorne aud Messrs. Sam Inman, W. A.

Smith, of Oglethorpe county, har vested one of his wheat “patches.” It contained only 500 acres, and from It he expects to thresh 6,000 bushels of grain, or an average of 12 bushels per acre. A new national hank, with a capital stock of $275,000, is being organized in Atlanta. Hon. David Mayer is at the bead of the enterprise, and be is re ceiving the most cordial support. Al ready $180,000 of the stock has been subscribed The Dawson correspondent of the Americus Recorder writes: “There are three brothers in Terrell county whose aggregate height is 10 feet and 3 inches, tbe tallest of whom is 6 feet and 8 inches. He is the tallest man in the county.” A guano company has been organ ized at Social Circle, with a subscribed capital of $25,000. The company has been organized for tbe purpose of man ufacturing a high grade of fertilizers. A cotton seed oil mill will also be op erated in connection with the fertilizer factory.

It is said that wbeu the sys tem has been learned a student can master a book at one reading and re port sermons and speeches without taking notes. Dysentery has proven very fatal in Walton county this spring. Scarcely a neighborhood in the county has es caped its ravages. The latest victims are Miss Mnllie Garrett and the 5-year- old son of Mr. W. A. Rogers, the Tax Collector of the county. Several oth ers are dangerously sick with Ihe same disease. Joseph E. Baker, a prominent hotel man of Jacksonville, Fla., has leased the White Sulphur Springs, in Meri wether county, and will open them up in a short time. These springs are about forty-five miles from Griffm. be ing seven miles west of Warm Springs, thb nearest station on the Georgia Midland Railroad. Those who have observed the action at Indian Spring say that tbe flow of water has undergone a marked in crease since tbe earthquake last sum mer. Tbe general estimate is at least one-third increase in volume. Many claim tbat tbe strength of the mineral has decreased with the increase in tbe flow, bnt this is not settled. Cobb connty farmers are reported as greatly dissatisfied because neither tbe State Fair nor the Piedmont Ex position offer any premiums this year for fine home-bred stock. As stock raising may well be considered the most important industry to be encour aged in tbe South, this discontent is founded upon good grounds.

At a trial at the Clay County Court the other day two witnesses were put on thei stand who did not know who made them, had never beard of heaven nor bell and did not know whether a lie was right or wrong. This is a bad Btate of affairs, aud some of tbe attor neys present concluded to quit tbe law and go out as evangelists. A 9 year-old son of W. D. Hayes, of Americus, went hunting 8aturday, and while walking along he clinked together in his band a couple of brass shells loaded with bird shot. Finally the butts came together and they ex ploded, the loads passing through bis hands, terribly lacerating them. A portion of one linger was shot entirely off and the remainder of the hand badly mutilated. The question as to who has jurisdic tion iD tbe matter of granting the pe tition for a new n ilitia district in For syth county has beon referred to Gov. Gordon. Tbe petition was first pre sented to the Ordinary and then to the County Commissioners, and as the law is not very clear on this subject both officials declined to act until instructions were given.

Tbe Atlanta Journal gives this in teresting account of a remarkable old man* Uncle Billy Thames, a resident ol Clayton county, and well known in Atlan-a, was in the city yesterday for the purpose of having the Decessary papers drawn up to secure his Mexi can war pension. Mr. Thames is are- markable old man. He is 92 years of age, aud his oldest child is 66 and his youngest only 4. He has been mar ried twice, aud is tbe father of 17 chil dren, 15 of whom are now living. His grandchildren number 118, his great grandchildren 342, and he has quite a number of great-great-grandcbildren. O C. Shivers, who lives six miles from Cuthbert, has a fine cow. Re cently the milkmaid has complained that the cow was failing in milk, but no reason could be assigned for the shortage. On Tuesday evening Mr. Shivers was at the lot when the cow was turned in, and noticed that a 3- moulhs-old shote immediately went to tbe cow aud followed her about the lot, rearing up against her bind legs. Tbe cow fought the hog away for awhile, the pig's hoofs plowing into her legs, no doubt anno\ Ing her. But she soon lay down and the hog at once proceeded to fill his stomach with the milk, the cow apparently enjoying the milking process immensely. The town authorities of Elberton are waging an uurelenling war on dogs. A few cases of hydrophobia has arous ed them to a sense of danger duriDg the heated season. The rule adopted is for the Marshal to notify all own ers of dogs tbat have purchased collars to keep their dogs confined on certain Dights, as on these nights he will kill all dogs found on the Btreets. He then arms his deputies with Winchester ti tles or double-barrelled shotguns, and a lively fusilade is kept up during the night, and next morning ten or a dozen dead dogs may be found lying about in different parts ef the town. It is a rather harsh but sure remedy to jlrevent the spread of hydrophobia. Two men were driving along the road near Sioux Falls a few days ago, each in a carriage. They bad jnst passed where a farmer was. busy set ting round cedar posts for a barbed- wire fence, when the man who was behind drove up in a trot, overtook tbe other and said: “Good morning, sir; I would like to ask you a question.” “All right, go ahead.” “I want to know what those things are which that man is planting there and if he expects them t j live and grow in such dry soil?” “Here’s a coincidence, sure enough,” replied the other, “that’s precisely what I was going to ask the first man I met." “Oh, I beg your pardon, I thought perhaps you were interested in a farm around here.” “Oh, no, not by any means. I am a member of tbe Dakota Board of Agri culture.” “Is tbat so? I am certainly glad to make your acqnaintance. I am on tbe Territorial Agricultural Fair Com mittee myself."—Dakota Bell.

Florence, the comedian, in a letter to a Louisville friend, wrote this suggestion: One gallon of whis key costs about $3 and contains about sixty-five 15c. drinks. Now, if yon must drink, buy a gallon and make your wife tbe barkeeper. When you are dry give her 15c. for a drink, and when the whiskey is gone, she will have, after paying for it, $6.75 left, and every gallon thereafter will yield tbe same profit. This money she should put away, so tbat, when you have become an inebriate, unable to support yourself and shunned byer- ery respectable man, your wife may bave money enough 10 keep you untU your time oomes to fU a drunkard's grave,
