and to politically boycot those who do
not yield to its demands. This dis

from New York, will explain the pro

Quite recently, the Grand Army ot
the Republic of Pennsylvania has com
pelled a man who fought for the Con
federacy to give up a small clerkship
in a pension c ffice.
It was wanted for a Grand Army man
and he got it. But lie did not hold it
long. It so happened that thete was
an honest Democratic administration.
Another dispatch explains the reasons:
So sooner bad Ptnilon Agent Davis accept
od the resignation ot Clerk BarbU re. tbe ex-
Confederate, than Cspt. Thomas H. L. Payne
was appelated to dll the vacancy. It now
transpires that Payne obtained money by false
pretedsi a from Grand Army of the Republic
comrades In 18S1. In March of that year the
grand Jury found Ihrce true bills against Payee
(or obtaining money under falaepretemes, end
he waa arraigned tbe nextday. At first he plead

that plea and substituted one ol guilty. Sen-

If the war is really over, the army

We believe there is a Grand Army
post in Atlanta, and this may con
stitute new grounds for providing
offices for that locality. Civil service
reform cannot be tortured into an ex
cuse to give official employment only to

the reason for putting tbe army out of

The Author of Negro Suffrage.
The Boston Herald says:
It ii now claimed that Gen. Grant wu lot
negro suffrage ei early as 1SC5, or for partial
negro suffrage, which should include thoso
who bed' borne arms In the war. It la not Im
probable that General Grant took this lattor
view, thongh he muat have been much In ad
vance of mrst of tbe Republican politician*
ol hla section to advocate the general voting
of the blacks. Tbe feeling against it In Illi
nois was strong at that time. General Logan
had not been converted, and Lyman Trum
bull, there la reason to believe, never has been
to this day. It la not at all to he supposed that
President Lincoln would have favored It u
early aa then had be Used. In Indiana, Oliver
P. Morton, a very able man and a most
Influential Republican, was rigidly re
sisting It. Charlei Bumner wu abnu
the first Republican of prominence to take
ground in Its favor, and be foend oppositOu
from William Pitt Fessenden and the Con*
nectlcut Senators, tbouah Mr. Edmunds, who
soon after ca-ne into tbe San - to from Vcr*
moot, was Inclined to go wttb him The wboto
Republican party was in time brought over,
though It Is still a mooted question among
many ot them wbetber tbe meuure wu wise
In tbe form It took.
Every now and then the Northern
press refers to the fearful mistake made
in giving the negro the ballot.
It is a sore subject and its discus
sion establishes the fact .that it would
never have been accomplished if the
result could have been foreseen. The
Herald says it is still a mooted ques
tion in the Republican party.
If that party had the power it would
not be mooted long. Negro suffrage
would he swept away in less time than
it was established.
The fact that Grant was instrumental
in patting this curse upon the country
is news to us, and perhaps to many
others.
The great problem thus given to the
South has not begun to be solved, and
os it came by the sword, perhaps the
sword may again do duty in the future
by sundering another Gordian knot.

The Railroad Commlaalon Bill.
The House bill lias been so amended
in the Senate as to give the rail
roads the right to fix rates. Thg|e are
to bo subject to the review of the com
mission. If the commission shall cut
them, then tbe road shall have the
right to appeal to the courts. Fending
the appeal the rates shall stand.
This is lair to all parties and interests
and the Legislature can settle this
muchly vexed question upon this basis,
No man who has been an intelligent
observer of the public opinion in the
State can conclude that the railroad
interests esn prosper or the* general
wellfareof the State be advanced by
a continuance of tbe present arbitrary
powers oi the commission.

Arbor Day,
Why cannot Georgia have an arbor
day? It will not cost anything, and
no special tax will have to be levied to
support it. Some member of the Leg
islature who does not make speeches,
and who does not expect to bo Con
gressman, Governor, Senator and Pres
ident, if there be such, may link his
name and memory with a beautiful and
useful custom, by having a day ap
pointed when all the people may have
a sort of holiday and plant trees.
All that will be necessary, will he a
proclamation by the Governor appoint

1st of November and the lit ot March
At first, little attention wonid bo
paid to tbe matter, bat iti usefulness
and importance would soon grow upon
the people.
Our forests are being fast destroyed
by the woodman, the (armei and by
fires. The waste is far greater than
the increase. Thousands of nnsightly
barrens now mark many portions
the State. These might be covered by
young forests, to improve the land
add to the general health and to the
future wealth of the State.
Filling these waste places, it is held
wonid add to the rainfall, necessary
crops. Aa fences are being done away
with, fruit and not hearing trees might
be planted in localities suitable
their growth. We can now be laying
the foundations of comfort and for
tunes for our children. Many States
have adopted t"ia practice. Nebraska
has now about 2o0,000 acres of growing
forests, in which have been set 600,000
young trees. Besides this, there have
been planted over 12,000,000 fruit trees,
over 2,300,000 grape vines, a vast num
ber of berry bushel and plants, and
countless quantities of ornamental
shrubs.
It looks now as if we were going
have a season of good government.
Under this Georgia may hope to pros
per, but ber people may enrich and
beautify their lands and homes by de
voting one day in the year to tree plant
ing.
This is no idle custom or untried
periment. In the straggle for wealth and
power and all that makes life comfort
able, we must adopt all that U good
and learn lessons from

Tho Necessity and Imcortnnce of Their
Establishment.
Auqcsta, August 21.—The importance
of establishing experimental forms for the
purpose of testing the adoptability of the
soils ot tbe different sections of Georgis fn
tbe prodnetion of vegetable and fibrous
plants should have the earnest attention
ot every planter and farmer of the State;
also for the purpose of testing the value of
commercial, natural and other fertilizers
and tbe benefits to be derived from the
intelligent uze of improved forming imple
ments.
Tbe farmer or planter, to be benefited by
tho different experiments to bo made, it is
necessary that the farms be under tbe en
tire control of tbe Georgia State Agricul
tural 8-jciely and not under supervision of
the Commissioner of Agilcuitnre ortho
University of Georgia.
Agricaltnriets do not want published In
the experiments tbe history of Georgia or
chronological tables, bat the terulis
derived from the experiments and Baid
results should be published in tbe local
newspapers, so they may reachfevery far
mer however buuiple. Toe University Is
totally unauited for tbe location of an ex
perio ental farm, as all tests made upon
them sboold be thoroughly practical and
not BctentSfic. The Unlverilty would be
tbe place to locate an experimental station
(or the purpose of making diecoverlis end
advarcl'jg the scientific principles of agri
culture. Tbe farmers of Georgia are
not far enough advanced in
practical agriculture and the use of im
proved Implements es to require an exper
imental nation. Furthermore, tbe Uni
versity receivid tbe proceeds from tbe laud
granted by the federal government for ta-
tabliehlngan agricultural cl liege. Wbat
has beeD done with the (unde, and how
many agriculturists have graduated from
said institution, and with tbis experience
are the farmers of Georgia willing to trnst
tbe Uolvereity wi'h tbe education of their
sees in practical farming ?
The first. agricultural reboot In Europe
was established in 1804, by Fellenberg, at
Hofroyl in Switzerland, and Its inccese
led to the establishment ot many others.
They ate no nitrous fn Germany and Aus
tria, and are divided into two clesrei—the
lower called Acktibanschole, iotended to
tire practical instruction In agriculture.
Tbe higher Landnirthsohaftachnle in
which tho whole science of agriculture
with all ita auxiliary sciences is taught.
Felienbsrg eatablhhed his school for the
purpose of educating poor boys and even
convicts as agriculturalists. “He tried to
make the school to bs self-supporting, and
to cause instruction to be regarded by tbe
Pupil. at t recreation. Agriculture be be
lieved best adapted as an occupation to
develop the powers of both mind and body
in tbeir proper harmony." Wehrli, >he
noble assistant and coadjntor of Fel-
lenberg, is spoken of as fol
lows: “From the dawn of day
he aeemi tog have no thought, no
time except for hie pupils. When he
came among them amidst their labor or
amaeementa he appeared rather like an
elder brother then an instrnotor." The
school at that time comprised 23 boys,
from the lowest and often the most viclons
families—aome of them abandoned chil
dren—and literally taken lrom tbe high
ways and hedges; and yet they lived in
perfect harmony nnder his mild govern
ment. I have referred to Wehrli to show
tbe impoitancr, practicsbUity and absolute
neoetiily to utilize the convicts (not crlm
fuels) under eighteen years ot age and not
convicted of arson, mnrder or rape, to
work od and cultivate said experi
mental farms. Three objects could
be obtained: First, the reformation
and enlightenment ol tbe juvenile
convicts. Second, the education and ele
vation of the Georgia farmers in practical
agriculture. Third, economy and relia
bility of tbe labor In maklog the practical
tests while in progress.
There are three obstacles In the way of
establisblcg experimental farms. First,
the old fogy ism which dominates tne agri
cultural convention and tbeir disposition
to tbrotile any ntw and useful measure
that does not originate wltb them. Sec

Fanis, August 3, 1835.—I bade farewell
to Leipsic July 21st and took the 0:30 ex
press (or Cologne, en route lor Paris. Be
tween Leipaio and tbe Rhine, via Magde
burg and Hanover the country is undi
versified, with only here and there a wind
mill dotting the landscape, a small collec
tion of cottages with red tile roofe, and
clumps of trees. It is ail like a garden,
without a waste spot in any direction.
From Hanover to Cologne, I was so for
tunate aa to have a coupe all to myself
nearly the whole of the way; this is a
luxury that it Is seldom one's good for
tune to enjoy and I appreciated it high
ly. After a tedious journey of over twelve
hoars, the train a*, lest orossed the Rhine
ana roiled into Cologno at about 10 p. m.
After disembarking, I left,the station and
crossing the square, got a fine view of
the Cathedral, by moonlight, which was
scarcely fifty yards away. The following
morning I got np about 0 and made a
tborocgb exploration of this famous edi
fice, both inside and oat. It is a superb
structure and well worth a visit to the
city to see it alone. The whole building
is one mass of exquisitely wrought stone
work, from the topmost spire to the foun
dation. At a distance it resembles lace,
intricats is it in execution. Unfortu
nately one of the spires Is considerably
shorter than the other, so that from a
front view tbe effect is somewhat marred.
The interior of the church it rather cold
and sombre. and aome' para very dark
but extremely majestic fiTtis proportions.
either side of the nave are aome splen-
aid specimens of stained glass windows,
some dating .as far back as the 13th cen
tury. The view from the spires Is in
describably fine on a clear day, stretching
for miles along the Rhine in either direc
tion, commanding a prospect ot the whole
city. Right in lrent of the Cathedral is
tbe shop ot tbe famous Jobann Marla
Farina, the original fabrloator ot tne wot Id
renowned Eau de Cologne. He has in bi9
shop a model ot the church in wood

tained bat little damage from the Com

small chapels introduced into the space
between the buttresses, some of which are
adorned with very handsome paintings.
Wnue wandering about here I encoun

adertssed aome Inquiry to me in French,
but I soon discovered he could speak Eng

He seemed overjoyed to meet some one
whom he could communicate with in that
tongue. He informed me he had been edu

sion and waa from the Panjaub district in

India before and was making "the grand

took tbs fiiat train for Paris which left at
8 o'clock. After leaving Cologne tbe coun
try became more mountaloous ead aome
of the scenery was very fine. I noticed at
every station there were women in uni
form to signal tbe trains instead ol men.
The German conductors acoompauled

placed by Frenchmen; here also onr bag

having then been destroyed Dy tbe Com

arrived joat In time to save the rest ol tbe

mained untouched (or about twelve years
and were finally removed in 1883 to make
way for-tbe gardens which now bear Ua
name. Tbis ta an exquisite park, richly

.. After leaving Notre Dame I piid a vis
it to the morgae, which lies jast In the
rear of the church. There were six bodies
on exhibition when I arrived, three men,
two women and a boy, some of which
bore muka of vio'ence. The old practice
of stripping the bodies and hinging the
clothes at one side has been Abandoned
and they now expose them just as tney
are fouLd. This piace is always jammed.
Yourg men ana women laughing and
talking and erst king jokes at the appejr-
ance of the deceased.
Leaving this^dUsuitiug spectacle, I pro-
ceede.i up the Rue <?e Kivoli paat the
ToordeBt. Jacques to flie Palais Royal.
Here are to be seen va»t numbers of shops
of all descriptions, aud at nighf, when illu
minated, is one of the sights of Paris.
From the Palais Royal to the Grand
Opera ls not a great distance, and we pro
ceed along the Avtuue de l’Opera,
about the centre of which are the offices
of tho New York Herald. * This is one of
the handsomest streets in the city, with
shops containing every description of
wearing apparel for ladi«s and gentlemen,
with magnificent displais of faience, flock*
and all varieties of bijouterie, painting?,
etc. The Grand Opera stands at the inter
section of four streets and covers nearly
three acres of grouud. Tbis tuperb struc
ture, now the largest theatre in the
world, was elected in 1874 at a cost of
nearly 88,000,000; nothing can surpass the
richness of the material with which the
building is lavishiy decorated, and for
which tne whole of Europe has b-pn laid
nnder contribution. Bweden and Scot
land have yielded a supply of green and
red granite, from Italy nave been brought
the yellow and white marbles, from Fin-
la fourebette” at 11:30. Most people ...
awsku g in tbe rnirning only dnnk a cup

fall meat until this hoar and lomstimes
later.
P.rti ta certainly tb. gnat centra of high
culinary art. Everything teems to have an
etqnlsU* Savor tbat can't be imparted
elsewhere. There ta a cake ber* now,
which ta called a “Motrin,” made with a
large admixmra of Jamaica ram, which
would Uekle tbe palate of the mo-.t Hate
gourmand, and worlbyof the great Fran-
r steffl blmtelf. This cake lseold In ail ibe
shops and ta quite tbe rage. A person
wishing to get on a tear, wiinontliiolatirg

consuming several of these celictans
