PASSING EVE.STS,
THE EXPOSITION AND ATLANTA.
We spent a day or two in Atlanta this
week. The train was crowded to suffoca
tion, and was an hour behind time in
reaching the city ; and this, we learn, has
been the case for some time past—multi
tudes of people Hocking from every section
to the Exposition in the last few weeks.—
Atlanta is certainly a most progressive
Southern city, and is a perfect marvel in
growth.
Notwithstanding the clouds and rain,
multitudes of people were at Oglethorpe
Park on Tuesday and Wednesday. Os the
Exhibition itself, we can only say, that
none of the most glowing accounts have
been exaggerated. In the main building
could be found all manner of machinery of
the latest improved styles, and as a contrast,
the primitive implements of a former gen
eration. Thousands of visitors were to be
found at all hours of the day in this builds
• ing, looking on in earnest interest at the
numberless articles on exhibition. The Art
Hall, as it is termed, was profusely filled
with the most beautiful articles of every
character, which was a ceaseless source of
interest to every beholder.
In the building where the productions of
Florida were exhibited, were many speci
mens of the fruits and crops of that State.
So of Kansas, Carolina, and other States.—
We cannot particularize in reference to this
great Exposition. Every one must see, to
realize the grand success of the managers
in this enterprise, and we advise all of our
readers, who can do so, to embrace the last
opportunity of paying the Exposition a
visit during the next week, as it will cer
tainly close on the last of this month.
We had the pleasure of meeting many
old time friends. Among others, we may
mention the brilliant H W. Grady, the Na
poleon of the Georgia press. He is not only
in the front rank in his profession, but has
the happy faculty of making his services al
most indispensable in every public enter
prise, and the managers of the Exposition
have not failed to utilize him. In the Comp
troller’s office, we found the big-hearted
Dr. Wm, King, P. Q. 8., as genial and
obliging as of yore. We were pleased to
form the acquaintance of Capt. W. A
Wright, the Comptroller General. He is a
most accomplished gentleman, and one of
the best officers in the State, Roswell
King, Esq., a most refined and agreeable
gentleman, placed us under many obliga
tions for bis genial companionship and
kindly attentions. Among the press gang>
we were pleased to meet Messrs. V. P-
Sisson, H. H. Dickgon, and T. S. Reynolds,
all of whom are keeping abreast with the
rush of Atlanta business. The Hemphill
brothers we found very busy in the count
ing room of the Constitution—both genial,
kind and clever. They feel justly proud of
the wonderful success of their great paper.
A few pleasant moments we enjoyed with
the gentlemanly Christopher, of the Phono
graph.
On Tuesday evening, a reception was
given by Mr. H. W. Grady to the press and
the members of the Kentucky Legislature.
The entertainment was elegant, and pre
sided over by such charming ladies as Mrs.
Grady, Mrs. King and Mrs. Smith, of course
the evening was spent in a most delightful
manner,
GKN. JOE JOHNSTON AND JEFF DAVIS.
The papers published an interview with
Gen. Joe Johnston a few days ago, in
which be charged ex-President Davis with
making way with $2,500,000 of Confeder
ate specie, about the time of the fall of
Richmond. Mr Davis thinks Gen. John
ston has been misrepresented, as he does
not believe he would deliberately make
such a charge. The people generally be
lieve there is a mistake in the matter.—
Whatever may be the faults of the ex-
Presklent, he has always been regarded as
a gentleman and an honest man.
BOLD ROBBERY.
The DeKalb News gives an account of
how a sharper in Atlanta borrowed $125
from a citizen of DeKalb at the car-shed in
Atlanta, for the purpose, as he said, of vis
iting Texas, in answer to a telegram that
bis brother was dead. The unsuspecting
DeKalb man found, when too late, that he
had been duped.
A S.'.D SUICIDE.
On Monday last,the body of Judge James
A- Welch, of Newnan, was found in a sta
ble. The unfortunate man had hung him
self. Financial embarrassments supposed
to be the cause of the rash deed. Judge
Welch was raised in Athens, and served an
apprenticeship with Mr. Albon Chase, in
the Banner office. For many years he was
the editor of the Newnan Banner, and on
ly a short time ago severed >his connection
with that paper He was an elder in the
Presbyterian church, and was highly es
teemed by all who knew him.

PRACTICAL LEGISLATION.
The Savannah News says: The
taxation question has got to come
before congress for treatment, and
there is no use thinking it can be put
off longer. So has the national bank
ing question, in its relation to the in
terest of the community, in view of
the near expiration of the charter of
a number of banks. It would be en-
C mraging to see some of the more ca
pable members bring forward certain
economic questions in a practical
form, and compel their thorough dis
cussion and intelligent settlement.
Personal politics are becoming stale.
The country would like to hear the
views and opinions of the better class
of public men on such subjects
as finance, refunding, reduced taxa
tion and a reformed tariff.
Chronicle (fornsponbrnce.
Letter from “Stat.”
Atlanta, Dec. 14th, 1881.
Dear Chronicle:
1 suppose it is best for us to be subjected
to disappointments as a sort of discipline,
but they are by no means pleasant, nor do
we ever become accustomed to them. It
was whispered to me on Thursday that
“ Barnabas” was to be here on Saturday,
and I was on the lookout for him, though I
thought he intended his visit as a sort of
surprise to me, and I did not intend to de
prive him of the pleasure of believing be
had taken me unawares. But the day
passed, and several since, and nothing of
“ Barnabas” until Tuesday morning, when
be came in with “Exposition” written all
over his face. I took him in charge, and
after various admonitions, lauded him at
the grounds. He thinks Atlanta is itself
enough of a show fur him, and I could
scarcely keep him in sight in the crowds of
people. I only gave him a mild dose on
Tuesday. Two hours oh the ground, he
was then filled up—and after persuasion, 1
induced him to leave. He must give his
own impressions—but I think the “ World
in Miniature,” he considers the best of the
show. He was particularly struck with the
automatic negro show, and unless he is
watched by the other members of the
“ kitchen cabinet” that assembles at Lyn
don’s drug store, he will be amusing his
leisure hours with a tamborine or pair of
bones. He says he was somewhat prepared
for the magnitude of the show from my
letters, but it was impossible to conceive of
the whole truth. I propose to fill him with
“ Exposition” before he leaves.
In nearly every letter I have written, I
have been able, I believe, to develop some
heretofore hidden beauty of the Exposition.
I think I have at last seen the “gem” of
the whole collection, to one whose tastes
arc not entirely practical. Near the display
of photographs in the upper part of the In
dustrial Art Hall, you sec something appa
rently covered by a light shawl of the finest
texture. With the curiosity that is admira
ble in any one here, you want to raise the
shawl to see the beauties that it hides.—
But on touching, you feel the marble cold
ness; and on looking farther, you find a lit
tle face rollicking with merriment, cut in
marble, picking at you from the folds. It
rather surprises you—it seems as if the
chiseled face was “ poking fun” at you—
and then, you wonder at the skill of the
artist who could so easily give to marble a
semblance which so readily deceives you.
If you have any admiration for sculpture,
you can easily spend half an hour over this
one little object, which not one in fifty of
the visitors has seen or noticed.
This, as you know, is a utilitarian age—
and I have noticed about “ lunch” timer
much the larger crowd assembles about the
kerosine and gasoline stoves, to sample the
roasted turkey and baked biscuits. One
lady seemed determined to satisfy her
self as well as her appetite. So she walked
off in triumph, with a satisfactory piece of
turkey and three biscuits. Simple aesthet
ics must succumb when brought in contact
with our natural appetites.
The approaching close of the Exposition,
brings crowds —among whom, they expect
Mr. Blaine, the editorial fraternity, and
other distinguished individuals. Mr. Kim
ball is determined that the Exposition shall
go out in a blaze of glory—that its “ last
day, shall be its best day.” He has no in.
tention that, having “gone up as a rocket,
it shall come down as a stick”—and, there
fore, he is making efforts to have the clos
ing ceremonies as brilliant as possible.—
Many of the awards have been made, and
some of them so well-deserved, that even
their competitors confess their judgment as
correct. Os course, in others, there will be
a difference of opinion, and doubtless a
good deal of bitterness engendered.
A reception of great elegance was given
by Mr. Grady, on Tuesday night, to the
representatives of the Press and the Ken.
tucky Legislature. The honors of the occa
sion were dispensed by Mrs. H. W. Grady
and Mrs. Hines Smith, of Rome, a most
charming lady, of great beauty ; and Mrs.
King, formerly of your place. With such a
trio to manage the details, and the well,
known liberality of Mr. Grady, it may be
imagined how perfect were the arrange
ments, and complete the menu. There
seemed to be among these visitors the
spirit of full appreciation—and I am sure,
among all the entertainments which have
been given, none have been more elegant,
nor more fully appreciated by the intelli
gent and accomplised gentlemen who par
took of it. “ Barnabas” was about the re
fresbment table, and seemed no less at ease
there than when discussing matters of
grave import with Estill, Richardson, and
the other brilliant representatives of the
Press. He bore himself bravely, and looked
as if he was editor-in-chief of a daily, and a
big one at that. But be had the satisfaction
at least, of knowing that no one edited a
purer and better paper than the Chronicle.
But Athens people, I am sure, will allow
me to stray off into an episode, which was
brought about by the Exposition. I venture
it, because of a family long identified with
Athens—though none of the name are there
now, except “on the hill side above the
river.” After a separation of 27 years, all
the living children of Hon. A. 8. Clayton
formerly of your place, met here. But
four are left of the large family raised in
your city. The reunion was, as may be
imagined, most delightful; and the pleasure
was increased by the presence of many a
younger generation, on some of whom,
fortune has most kindly smiled. It was
not, however, so much with the present
that this re-united family had to do, as
with the bright past of their youth—when,
beneath the trees of Athens, they looked
so hopefully to the future, which has been
full of trials, grief and disappointments'to
them; and into the future, which bore to
them no promise of another earthly meet
ing. Notwithstanding these sad elements’
the reunion was a most delightful one.—
They were entertained by Mr. H. W. Grady
and his wife, in a style where the choicest
luxuries were dispensed, with a hospitality
I have never seen surpassed, and flavored
with that genuine kindness of heart and love
which seems to have a home in bis bouse and
around his hospitable board. This family
separated on Sunday night, with the hope
of meeting again, but at least with bi arts
filled with gratitude aud pleasure at this
reunion.
But 1 determine every week that I will
not trench so much on the really readable
matter in your paper, and hence, close. I
wish to yourself, from the “ old man” to
the ‘ devil,” a very happy Christmas—and
if any sacrifice on my part could make the
holiday a happy one to your readers, I
would cheerfully make it. Willi sincere
wishes that you may “ live long a d pros
per, I am, faithfully, Stat.

Resolved, therefore, first, That Powell’s

deceased a true and faithful member; tbe
Order, a warm and zealous supporter; his

faithful in all the relations of life.

without hope, we can but drop tbe sympa

wells up the recollections of one who in
life was so true to every trust, and faithful
in tbe performance of every duty.
3rd, That as a Lodge, we wear tbe usual
badge of mourning thirty days, and extend
to the bereaved family and relatives our
warmest sympathy in this sad hour of their
affliction.

We believe it was Mark Twain who
paid a compliment to well-behaved
corpses; and, as a usual thing,
corpses do behave in a quiet aud
docile manner, although recent oc
currences in lowa and Wiiconsin
have demonstrated the fallacy of
placing too much faith upon their
good conduct. In the lowa case a
man got out of his coffin during the
progress of the funeral, and said fur
ther proceedings would be dispensed
with. When it was proposed to turn
the meeting into a dance he objected.
He said he wasn’t going to have his
funeral marred by any such un
seemly levity, and if anybody showed
disrespect for the remains, they would
punch his head. That stopped the
dance. In the Wisconsin case the
clergyman had just finished his ser
mon whep the corpse sat up and de
manded a glass of beer. Os course
that stopped the funeral, and now
there is a law law suit, as the corpse
refuses to pay the clergyman any
fee, although he claims that he
preached the sermon in good faith.
