I i—— — Coast Defenses. Referring to a recent editorial in the Telegraph relative to our coast de fenses the Boston Advertiser says: Our Georgia brethren are working them- ■elvea Into a needlenly uncomfortable frame of mind. At about tbe year 1BC0 there was no great disproportion In defensive works North and South, circumstances made It necessary to batter down and destroy most of the coast defenses ot tbe South, white those ol the North remained, and aa a precautionary meas ure were somewhat strengthened. Tbe Geor gia people understand perfectly why at tbe same time the United States did not appropriate money to Improve the work* on the Southern coast Since tbe war, almost nothing bat been done ot that kind in either aectlon, and If tbe Northern cltlea are now better p-otected than the Southern cltlea, It la because they were to wheu the war end- el. tu tact howerer, auch la the progress In methods of carrying on wars that all the exist ing fortifications are ot little wortb. There Is no reason to suppose that when systematic fortification la again attempted, the South will not be as fairly treated as the North. At the same time the South has been neglected, while money has been spent elsewhere. The late Secretary of the Navy recommended that the navy yards and works at Pensacola, Dry Tortugaa and other places be not re paired, giving as the reason that they were in reach of the enemy’s guns and could not be defend ed. We do not know of any navy yard not open to the same objection. The yards and works in the South have been as a general thing practically abandoned, and those intheKorth sus tained and kept in use. If, when the coast receives tome attention from Con gress, the Southern section gets fair proportion, it will be because Southern members make a strong stand. We know very well that some Southern. forts were battered down, and what the cry will be when efforts are made to rebuild them. In point of fact, and it may not be out ot place to state it here, the money spent upon coast defenses, and a large sum will aome day he justly demanded! ought to he used to make one harbor as safe as another, near as this can be complished, but no more funds should be expended upon Northern navy yards. The South now presents supe rior advantages for ship-building. We have here, in easy reach of the coast, the best and the cheapest iron, thobest ship-timber, and coal in abundance, Land nnd privileges are cheap, the cli mate salubrious, every month of the year a working month, and rivers and harbors unobstructed by ice. When the time comes for the general government to engago in ship-building, the Sonth must be heard from upon these points. It is not too soon to be gin to pave tho way for such a bearing. It coats $1 to be a dog In Michigan, and the dog has to ba mighty particular what eoit of a dog ha Is or ha will be cut oft be fore ha gets 30 cents wortb of existence In Georgia dogs are welcome, without re gard to age, cj'or, race or previous condl tlon, and allowed to have mutton for breakfast.

The Secretary of State has received information from the Doited States minister at Parte that the prelimi nary legal proceeding! In award caeee will cost at least 110 in each case.

Lawtcn’i farther, by tbe fact that Mr. Morgan wu not an 'officer' when be wu required at Annapolis to taka an oath to support the oonatilntlon of the United States.” Tho Newt end Courier evidently hu more re spect for Attlornsy-Oeneral Garland's opinion than it hod daring tbe diecustlon of tbs Lawton ret'.

Healthful as on exercise, important from a hygienic standpoint, it should be encouraged in every poseible way, But uide from swimming as a sport, it is as a resource one of the most im portant of accomplishments,and should be possessed by every boy. Day after day wo chronicle deaths that occur be came this pleasant exercise has never been practiced by certain unfortunate persons, and hundreds more are never heard of. It is safe say that every active man feeli at some time in hli life the need of the swim mer’s art. Recently n son of a prominent Mex ican rode across the country accompa nied by a son of the banker, Kngene Kelly, New York. Reaching the Sa- hlnu river, they concluded to bath*-, and Kelly, wailing in over his head drowned almost in reach of his com panion. Neither coaid “swim a lick.' Is it not singular that this accomplished young New Yorker, brought np in light of the ocean, educated, polished and doubtlcu skilled in manly spirts, had never learned how to swim six feet to aavehii life? It aeema incredible. And yet here in Macon probably, every other man, if similarly aitumled, would have perish ed also. Macon, five years ago, was without public conveniences of any description. To-day she. has a free mail delivery, postal boxes on every comer, electric lights, water works, an elegant theatre and street can. The TiLaosAra, re membering that ita assistance wu given to these enterprises with good effect, ventures to propose public hatha for Macon. Think upon it, gentle men. The coat would be comparative ly amnll and the revenue large. Water and space are plentiful. The city needs public baths and will support them liberally, if properly conducted. Their effect upon the health of the place will be beyond meuure,sndit will place the young in a position to perfect them selves in swimming. Every boy should learn to awim; and every girl, also A Wrecked Agricultural Department# It begins to appear that the rascals have been turned out of the Agricul tural Department none too soon. An examination of the books and cash reveals the fact that there hu been great waste of funds fn all the divis ions, and but $38 left on hand to pay the expenses of the fiscal year. Title is a sad state of affairs for an Agricultural Department whose mission it is to show the farmers how to he economical and self-supporting. A great and important division of the government, such as the Agricultural Department is supposed to lie, Aught not to find itBelf reduced to $38, and that too when the blackberry and wa termelon crops are months off. The trouble with the Agricultural Department ia tbe same old trouble with which nearly all State experiments of a similar nature have suffered. The men in charge are not practical, but gifted with most visionary fancies. Appointed upon the supposition that all men who understand structural botany and chemistry, and have a half-score of agricultural maxims at their fingers’ ends are valuable fac tors in the great business of planting, they carry to their work un bounded enthusiasm and numberless hobbies for which in the long ran the people pay exorbitant prices. In the Washington Agricultural Department, the funds came to grief partly by being applied to the purchase of seed which cost the commissioner six times as much as they would have cost any body else, and the government six times as much as they did the commis sioner. How much Monsieur Le Dnc paid for his tea experiment, or how much vari ous Southern States have paid for chnfas, dhuro, milomaize, and various agricultural experiments that have yielded nothing, is a matter o%mr- mise only. Technloal Education.
