0s the subject of going to law to

Commercial Bulletin has this to say:
“One who, while speculating iu fu

when on the right side of the market,
and when prices are against him in
vokes the courts to enable to repudi

losses, speedily loses his status to the

such rules as the Board of Trustees
of the University shall from time to
time establish. The selections arc to
be made as impartially as possible
from different portions of the State
so that each section will be repre
sented.
UOW THE MONEY IS TO BE l’AID BACK.
Each student, ns soon as ho has
made the money, in addition to an
economical living, after the comple

back to the University the amount,

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Republican press and statesmen have
busied themselves for the past fifteen
years, saying mean things of the
Southern States, the late per cent, of i his four sons has, if he chooses
immigration to these States far ex
ceeds that of the New England States,
and even that of many of the Western
States. The truly loyal States of
Iowa and Michigan are left in the shade
by Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor
gia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Sonth
j Carolina, Virginia and Texas, while
i Illinois is far behind the least of the
Southern States. Despite the mean
ness of a bitter partisan press and
scheming politicians the South is com

The Arlington Advance will here

This is, as the rural editor would say,
“Arlington’s loss and Leary’s gain.”
We congratulate the citizens of Leary
upon this feature of their progress,
and at the same time admonish them
to be liberal in the support of their
paper. Nothing boosts a town more

will cause an accumulation that will
iu the end make the principal sum
a very large one. The interest only
is to be used us the sum accumulates.
One thousand dollars per aunumn of
the interest on the principal sum
donated is to be loaned to students
of tbe North Georgia Agricultural
College at Dahloncga upon the same
terms as aie prescribed in'the case
of siudcutsat Athene. The co^t of
living being cheaper at Dahlonega
only one hundred and fifty dollars
are to be loaned to any student. The
mouey is to be advanced to them
monthly as they feed it; the inter
est commencing in such ease at the
end of the year.
REMEMBERING EARLY FRIENDS.
The students getting the benefits at
Dahlonega are to be selected under
regulations made by the board of
trustees from the jnountain counties
of Northeast Georgia and the coun
ties of l’ickens, Oconee aud Ander
son, S. C., embracing the counties
of Senator Brown’s birth aud boy
hood, and the county of Anderson,
where the first mouey was loaned
him to aid in bis education. The
monutain counties have the same
rights as any other section of Geor
gia to participate in the fund at
Athens,and tbe one thousand dollars
a year at Dahlonega is in addition to
that.
The money paid back by the
studeuts at Dahlonega from year to
year is to be added to tbe principal,
thus still more accumulating the

RIGHTS RESERVED TO THE FAMILY.
Senator Brown reserves to his
four sons, Julius L. Brown, Joseph
M. Brown, Elijah A. Browu, aud
George M. Brown, each, tho right
to select one students .to be the re-
cipient of leans under the act with a
selection of a successoi of such stu
dents ; so that each during his life
time may keep onn student constant
ly in college. In case of a relation
as near as the fourth degree, the sou
may in iris discretion relieve the stu
dent selected by him from repay
ment of the fund. Tbe Senator re
serves to his four sons and the ser-
vivors of them the right of visitation
to see that the trust is properly ad
ministered, and in the event of a
substantial violation of it tbe right
to bring suit to recover back all
money ;but this is not to be done on
account of any technical or imma
terial violation; and the survivor of
les, the
power to appoint a visitor by
will to look still further' after
proper administration of
trust-
THE TRUST ACCEPTED. =
The board of trustees unanimous
ly accepted the trust upon the terms
mentioned, and Senator Brown gave
his obligation to pay the $50,000 in
cash into the treasury of the state
as soon as the legislature, sit its next
session, passes the act to accept the
fund for the benefit of the universi
ty, and give the . obligation of the
state for its payment at the’ end of
. fifty years with seven per cent in-
i terest. This is the same provision
with the act of the last legislature
applies to the maturing bonds of
state belonging to the uuiversity, in
such case the'governor is required
to give the university in lien of the
matured bond a fifty year’s seven
per cent bond of the state. Senator
Brown was ready-to give his check
for the fifty thousand dollars at pres
ent if there had been a State law
authorizing the amount to be receiv
ed at tbe treasury of the state on the
same terms that the maturing bonds
of the present endowment of the
state are to be received, but ns there
is'no such act he makes the donation
nation conditional on the passage
of an act by the next legislature to
place the fund he donates upon the
same footing of security with the
funds now belonging to tho univer
sity. It is not doubted that the leg
islature will do this promptly. This
is the largest donation ever made to
the university by any one. As some
young men will only need partial
aid, it is supposed tbe annual income

A Clock That Wind* Itself Up.
Journal of the Society of Aita.
In September last a now perpetual
clock was put up at the Gare du
Nord, Brussels, iu such a position
as to be fully exposed to the influ
ence of wind and weather; and, al
though it hat not since been touched,
it has continued to keep good timo
ever since. The weight is kept con
stantly wound up by a fau placed in
a chimney. As soon as it approaches
the extreme height of its course it
actuates a brake, which stops the
fan ; and the greater the tendency of
the fan to revolve, so much the more
strongly does the brake act to pre
vent it. A simple pawl arrange
ment prevents a down draught from
exerting any effect. There is no ne
cessity for a fire, aa the natural
draught of a chimney or pipe is suf
ficient , and if the clock is placed
out oi doors all that is required is
to place It above a pipe, sixteen or
twenty feet high. The clock is usu
ally made to work for twenty-four
hours after being wound tip, so as to

Paris Exhibitions of 1878, but has
since considerably improved upon
it.
Shot by Hla miau-eae.
Chicago, July 12.—Charles Stiles,
aged twenty-eight, caller for the
board of trade, was shot dead by his
mistress, Madeline, at the Palmer
House this morning. Stiles receiv
ed a salary of $4,000. The murder
ess’ name was Madeline De Stoll, an
kalian. She shot twice, killing
Stiles instantly. She was arrested
and lodged in jail. Soon after his
mistress entered the room Stiles
rnshed into the ball in his night gar
ments, .shouting: “Murder! Oh,
my God!’’ and fell dead. She fol
lowed and fired a second time, the
ball lodging in the wall. The first
ball entered the heart. She is a
beautiful brunette, aged twenty-five,
and sava she is known as Mrs. Made
line Stiles, and lias been living six
years with Stiles. They were not
married. She says they had a quar
rel which resulted in the shooting.

she said: “papa will-bring it down

she sailed away dry shod, leaving

avoid any conflict between two
proud natures such, as those of her
husband and her son, she has made

ments near at hand, while her hus
band is about to build a mansion con
necting with her residence, so that
there will bo more room for her ar

She is enamored of her engagement
at the Vaudeville, because it will
permit her to make creations before
her dear Parisian public, and allow
her to take the vacations which are
indispensable to her financial inter

Taking an average calculated for
the whole country, a railway pas
senger, when ho pays $1 for his faro,
contributes 15 cents of that amount
to tho stockholders, 20 cents towards
paying the cost of operating tbe
roads, the latter being distributed,
directly or indirectly, chiefly for
wages to working people. These
are the figures for all the roads in
the country, taking the aggregates
for dividends, interest payments and
operating expenses. Of course, on
some roads the whole of the dollar
goes to the working mechanics la
bors, conductors, engineers and oth
er employees, the stockholders get
ting nothing. The dollar, or a larg
er part of it is, moreover, quickly re
in rned to the shopkeepers of tbe
country, for there are over a million
and a half of railroad employees
withdraw from productive labor,
whoso wages pass regularly into the
hands of the farmers and manufac
turers whose supply them with the

In which they appears to be not

bad look in his eye, one day entered
a station on the line of tbe Blauk
and Dash Road, pulled out ton shares
of stock in the company, and inquir
ed of tbe station master if there were
any dividends on tbe stock.
“Never heard of any,” - was the re-
ply.
“Didn’t anybody ever try to col
lect dividends?’’
““If they did they didn’t get any
thing.”
“This stock ought to pay ten per
cent.,’’ continued the stranger.
“Here’s a thousand dollars. Ten
per cent, a year would be $100. I’ve
held these sheers throe mouths,
which would be $25, Jardncr, 1 want
tny divvy!’’
“But I’ve nothing to do with it!
You go to St. Louis.’’
“Too fur away! I’m going to
collect here and save time! Pilgrim,
count out my divvy!’'
The above peroration was follow
ed by tile sight of a six-shooter and
an expression which meant business,
and the agent didn’t consume' three
minutes counting out the money,
which the stranger took and walked
out with the remark that he never
invested in any stock paying less
than ten per cent., and didn’t be
lieve iu oumlafive dividends. This
was the only dividend paid by that
road for thirteen. years, and the
agent on a salary of four dollars per
month had to stand that.
Mose Schaumburg, the Austin
avenue meichant, has been very
derelict in worshipping at the syna
gogue, bnt a few days ago he attend
ed divine services for the first time
in several years. Just as he was
coming out of the synagogue some
body told him that his rival in busi
ness, old Schwazmeyer, had jnst
been drowned-while bathing in the
river.
“Mine Gotr, vv didn’t I attend to
my religious duties pefore!” ex
claimed Mose,attributing this streak
of good luck to his pions visit to the
synagogue.—Galveston News.
A novel game of baseball was
played at Consbocken by rival clubs
of Conuaughtown. A keg of beer
was placed on the third, base and a
rule prescribed that ho player could
bavo a drink until he reached that
station. The effect was singular.
Ever? player reached the third
base,* and so_frequently that two
kegs were, emptied before the game
was. half over.
