most as corrupt as the Republican par
ty, and that is as strong as we can draw
it.
A negro, claiming to be a lawyer
from New York, circulated among the
negroes of Cobb county last week, and
on the strength of Harrison’s election
told them that he had been sent out to
buy up all the lands he could and sell
them to negroes on twenty years’ time
at 6 per cent. His charge for inspect
ing a farm was from $10 to $12, which
every one that wanted to buy had to
pay in advance, he agreeing to meet
them in Marietta a few days later and
execute deeds to the farms. He picked
up a few hundred dollars and skipped
for parts unknown.
Coweta fared pretty well in the ap
pointment and apportionment of legis
lative committees this week. Mr. At
kinson is second .on the General Judi
ciary, the most important committee of
all, with the rank of ex-officio chairman.
He is also a member of the committees
on Privileges and Elections, Ways and
Means, and Western and Atlantic Rail-
mod.* Mr. Jones has been equally lucky,
he having been assigned to duty on the
following leading committees: Argri-
cuiture, Appropriations, Immigration
and Lunatic Asylum.
Representative Snelson, of Mer
iwether, achieved some notoriety last
week by introducing a resolution in the
House to prohibit cussin’. A motion
was-made to lay the resolution on the
table, which was unanimously second
ed, with only one" vote against it—that
of Mr. Snelson.
Mr. Brady, of Sumter, has been
returned to the Legislature, and evi
dences his gratitude to an admiring but
misguided constituency -by renewing
his fight upon the guano dealers. lie has
re-introduced his bill allowing, purchas
er- of guano to plead failure of consid
eration, etc., and has the satisfaction of
knowing that it will meet with little
opposition in the House. If Mr. Bra
dy is really interested in the welfare
of the farmers of Georgia and would
■ et at the root of the evil he should in
troduce a bill to prohibit the use of
fertilizers and be done with it. States
men of the Brady type are becoming too
numerous anyway. What the country'
needs is practical, sensible legislation
that, will establish a permanent comity
between the commercial and agvicul-
t-oral classes,' and any effort to disturb
these friendly relations should be con
demned by honest, right-thinking men
everywhere.
The spirit of tariff reform is stalk
ing abroad in the land with a joy r ousness
and ubiquity that must be surprising to
our protection friends, but it is so. It
will take more than one Republican
defeat to lay the wraith.
Tuesday last was set apart for the
election of a United States Senator, to
succeed lion. A- H. Colquitt, whose
term will expire on the fourth of March
1889., Mr. Colquitt was re-elected with
out opposition.
COLUMBUS EXPOSITION.
The Street Gamblers of China.
One never failing source of amuse
ment was watchiug the street gam
blers. You see a man, generally the
most innocent looking of Chinamen,
if one Chinaman can be said to look
in any way different from another,
unless in size, walking along with
what looks like a rather large um
brella. He stops in what he thinks to
be a convenient place, always near a
comer, sticks this machine on the
ground, which in some ingenious
way becomes a gambling table,
marked into squares and spots. In an
instant he is surrounded by a crowd
of all ages, and the game goes merrily
on.
Suddenly a cry of police “goes up
and in an instant man and table have
mysteriously disappeared and the
crowd has scattered. I believe the law
is strict against gambling, but the po
lice seem about as efficient to stop and
prevent it as are the police of our
country. I never could get to under-,
stand the game, but it seems to be run
on the good old principle that the odds
should be in favor of the bank, as the
bank seemed always to win. After
watching the game for several days, I
came to the conclusion that the person
who raised the cry of police must be a
confederate, as it was always done
when the stakes were quite large, that
is, for that game, as only pieces of
copper were placed on the board, and
in his anxiety to get away the man
would not wait to hand back to the
players their money, but would disap
pear, money, table, and all.—Samuel
F. Farrar in Chicago Journal.

The Detectives of Berlin.
The detectives of Berlin are the
nearest approach in stolidity to those
of London. There is really very little'
crime in the German empire, on ac
count of the extraordinary sentences
that are imposed and the strict mili
tary discipline that prevails through
out the empire, and which has its
highest development in Berlin. On
M i is account, the most experienced and
capable detectives are taken out of the
criminal service as rapidly as possible,
and promoted to the official depart
ment.
Their duties consist solely in watch
ing socialism and guarding eminent
Germans from bombs and dynamite.
Bismarck, for instance, never travels
without the protection of at least two
of the crack officers of the detective
corps, and, when lie takes a ride in the
park, or even ventures on a short
official visit to one of the departments,
a man precedes and follows him. The
vigilance is severe and thorough. The
emperor, I may remark in passing, is
never guarded by detectives, but his
personal staff hover about him in a
fashion that renders any-interference
from Nihilists or Socialists well nigh
impossible. As to the skill of the Ger
man detectives, it cannot, I think, be
compared for a moment with that of
the police of Paris or New 1 ork.—New
York Cor. Globe-Democrat.

Land and Stock for Sale.
It is already announced that Hop.
Flem DuBignon, President of the Sen
ate, and Congressman Jas. H. Blount,
of Bibb, will contest for the Governor
ship two years hence, and the rumor is
practically confirmed by the acquiescent
silence of the gentlemen named. It is
also given out that Gov. Gordon will be
at candidate for United States Senator
when his present term expires, which
will be in November, 1S90. Meanwhile
the “dear people” are on deck and may
he expected to take a hand in the fun,
and their participation may result in a
promiscuous smashing ' of slates all
around. The people of Georgia are
getting tired of standing candidates,
and will be apt to demand new meth
ods as well as new men when the pro
per time arrives.
Senator Bartlett has introduced
a bill to increase t he salaries of Judges of
the Supreme'and Superior Courts in this
State, as follows: Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, $5,000; Associate Jus
tices, $4,500 each; Superior Court
Judges, $3,500. Of course, there is no
chance for the bill to become a law,
but we are glad to know there is one
man in the Georgia LegislaTtire with
sufficient courage to propose a meas
ure of this character. There is not a
State in the Union that pays such
niggardly salaries as are doled out
to Georgia’s public servants, from
Governor down, and it is a policy that
reflects no credit upon a prosperous and
otherwise enterprising commonwealth.
We are for the bill, and hope it will be
come a law.
Finest Show in the South-The Attrac
tions-Low Rates on Railroads.
The Chattahoochee Valley Exposi
tion, which opened at Columbus, No
vember 15, and will close December 1,
is already a brilliant success. Parties
who have attended expositions all over
the country during the year says,
without hesitation, that Columbus
leads them all in the beauty of her
buildings and grounds, the extent and
variety of her exhibits, her splendid
mile track, in the arrangement of her
Exposition park, and in cheap and rap
id transportation to and from her Ex
position. All of the railroads east of
the Mississippi and south of the Ohio
rivers sell tickets to and from the Ex
position at the remarkably low rate of
one cent a mile. The exhibits in the
main building, in machinery hall, in
agriculture, in minerals, and in fact in
all departments, are simply splendid.
Col. A. F. Ross, of Rome, a gentleman
of integrity and wide experience, says
that there are more fine horses in Co
lumbus “than ever gathered at any one
place in the South before.” In addition
to the splendid races and magnificent
displays in all departments of the Ex
position there are many special attrac
tions, including military drills, brilliant
displays of fireworks, reunions of veter
ans. balloon ascensions with parachute
jumps of thousands of feet, a gathering
of farmers and many others. There are
ample* accommodations in the hotels,
boarding houses and private residences
that have been thrown open to the pub
lic for as many people as may go. to
Columbus; aud the rates charged are
very low. Every man, woman and child
who can get to Columbus should see
the great Chattahoochee Valley Expo
sition.
Peculiar Idea About Religion.
A student deeply versed in ecclesias
tical matters recently advanced a very
peculiar idea while conversing with a
friend. He said that the established
religion of a country owed its princi
pal doctrines less to faith than to the
conditions of its climate and surround
ings. He cited the beautiful religion
of the natives of Lidia, who would not
eat anything that had once lived, be
cause, while all could take away life,
only One could give it. He argued
that a religious belief like that could
only have its origin in an intensely
hot climate like that of India, where
animal food is not necessary to sus
tain life. Among the Laplanders such
a religion could never obtain, because
it was absolutely necessary for the
inhabitants of so high a latitude to
keep the warmth of the body up to a
certain heat. Nothing but animal fat
could do that.—New York Sun.

A Rope Walker's Coolness.
If I myself do not feel nervous, I
am afraid the many persons I have .
carried on my back across the rope .
have felt a trifle perturbed, save when :
they have been professional assistants, j
In reality there is nothing in the j
world for them to be afraid of. Ail j
they have to do is to sit perfectly still, |
refrain from clutching me too tightly j
around the neck and leave the rest to j
me. When I am carrying any on? j
over for the first time, I chat to him j
continuously on any indifferent sub- j
jects I can think about, aud try in this j
manner to relieve his anxiety, and 1 j
always caution him against looking j
downward when in mid air. Some- j
how, though, he never seems quite j
happy, aud I always detect a gasp of j
relief when the end of the rope and j
the platform are reached. More than !
once the victim has devoutly cx- j
claimed, “Never again!”—J. B. Lion- 1
din in Lippincott's.

Dissipation of Vital Energy-
Truly did Emerson designate dissi
pation as the greatest evil in life. He
did not mean dissipation in the narrow
and common sense of excess of drink
ing. He meant dissipation of all sorts
—the dissipation of vital energy in
the pursuit of trivial objects, social
dissipation, w
money, waste in general. Social dis
sipation is one of the most harmful
forms of dissipation, because it is to from the bottom, leaving the
