Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 8ib, 1883.
—The Legislature pursues the even
tenor of its way, nothing of unusual
interest transpiring in either house
during the last few dajs, except, per
haps, the discussion and passage in
the House of the general local option
bill, and the' discussion of the resolu
tion instructing the Governor to dis
miss the pending suit against the
lessees of the State Boad. The Utter
is still under ducussion to-day, and
the indications are that the resolu
tion will pass just as it came from the
Senate—to dismiss the suit uncondi
tionally.

The Indianapolis News says
on reason now to think that any

opinion acting through competent
agencies. There are two of these,
one of which has been lightly supplied,
the other threatened. The latter is a
competing system, the former a entail

system, however, liberally supported
slid energetically pushed must require
many weeks to reach a condition in
which it can give remunerative em
ployment to operators.

this morning with Mr. McIntosh, of
Dougherty, and as his views agree with
many others, I give fheut: Mr. Mc
Intosh—There is a great deal of im
portant work before the Legislature.
The more important measures which
must be disposed of are: 1. Rcdia
tricting the State. 2. The school of
technology. 3. The new Capitol.
4. Increase of the common school

6. The dog tax.”

who voted against the bill, because of
its imperfections. In the opinions of
many, the bill will convulse the State
into a series of heated elections, and
even then fail to accomplish the de
sired result—even in those counties,
cities or districts where the “no whis

The weather and crop reports
that reach those of os up here from
Southwest Georgia are very conflict
ing. Yesterday I met Col. Reuben
Jones, of Baker, who reported that his
crop was fair, and that he had not
suffered very materially for rain. The
same day I read in the Macon Tele
graph a letter from Chan Jones, of
Albany, in which he stales that the
drouth is still unbroken, ana that
even those who were hopeful a week
ago are now gloomy over the crop
prospect in that section. We had
good rain here yesterday afternoon
and last night, and the indications this
morniug arc that the rain was general,

and a thin lady acquaintance of wine

it is an open secret ill Legislative
circles here lhat the friends of the
new capitol and school of technology
bills have pooled their issues or form
ed a combination. This view of the
case is strengthened, too, by the you
tickle-me-and-I'il-tickle-you conduct
of the Atlanta Coiatitution and Ma
con Telegraph daring the last few
days. It is well known that the Con
stitution has beon throwing cold wa
ter on the school of technology scheme,
while the Telegraph has been throw
ing rocks at Atlanta’s bill for a new
capitol. Mr. Hanson, of the Tele
graph, came here and made a speech
to the General Assembly in favor of
the school of technology bill, one
night last week, however, and straight
way a change of policy upon the part
ofthntwo “leading dailies’'with refer
ence to the two important bills named
was plainly 'to be seen. The Con
stitution wrolo a strong “leader” in
favor of l be school of technology, and
Ibe Telegraph came out simultane
ously with a column and a-half edi
torial favoring the new capitol bill.
Each paper then reproduced its con
temporary’s article and called it
“timely,” “able,” etc., and now the
lion and the lamb lie down together.
It is generally understood, be it
known, that Alteon will be the favoig
cd applicant for the school of tech
nology in the event such an institu
lion is established. What the result
of this supposed alliance will be re
mains yet to be seen; but there is no
denying the fact that the friends of
the two schemes will form a strong
combination. The question will at
once arise in the face of it, Cali the
Slate lake up two such costly institu
tions or enterprises at one and the
same time? Can the people stand the
taxes with the present public debt of
nearly ten million dollars and this
year’s short crop staring them in the
face.
How long boforc this Legislature
will adjourn? God only knows. New

Albany's artesian water supply
seems to have temporarilty suspended
operations, just after Brother John
T. Graves has so beautifully written

We hardly Uuon how to take the
above paragraph. Editor Randall is
scarcely capable ot flinging sarcasm.
An explanation is perhaps necessary.
Albany’s artesian water has not di
minished one drop in its daily offer
ings since it first came above ground,
so far as is known. It comes np
every moment, a'ud There is no change.
There has never been but one trouble,
and that was when at night, private
parties who had laid pipes and had re
ceived permission to use the surplus
water for boring other wells, turned
off the water too early in the night, or
turned it on too late in the morning.
There baa been two or three instances
of this kind, but we feel assured
it will not occur again. That has all
been stopped; and we assure out con
temporary that we have water in
abundauce—enough to core ail the
dyspepsia in Georgia. No, brother
Chronicle, Albany’s artesian water
has not suspended. It was only mis

There are several questions the
News and Advebtisek does not
wrestle with during the hot weather.
Most prominent among them is the
presidential succession, the tariff Ar
thur’s junket, Dr. Mary Walker’s dis
charge from the pension office, the
negro question, and the jealousy sub
sisting between the Atlanta Cons Il
lation and the Macon Telegraph.
There may be others that we might
mention, but these are the ones we
care the least about. There is one
thing though, we would like to see;
and that is for the Legislature to re-
district the State, pass a dog law and
adjourn. Let Ray’a fertilizer bill, the
railroad tax bill, the school of techno
logy and all sneh bills that the peaple
know will not be passed,go off the cal
endar and be done with it A general
stock law for the State would be worth !
more to the State than all the legists- j
tion the present session will be guilty j
of; but it is hardly possible- to get it
at present A stock and dog law
would make the State rich in ten years,
but we will hardly ever get a legisla
ture to realize it.
A dispatch, dated Capetown, An-
gust 4th, says that “O’Donnell, who
killed Carey, the informer, has been
committed for trial on the charge of
wilful murder. In the ordinary course
of events he will be tried at the Port
Elizabeth assizes in October. At the
final examination of O'Donncii, a box
was produced, belonging to the pris
oner, labeled ‘Capetown,’ and contain
ing a wood cut of Uarey and a paptr
of American citizenship, dated ’To
ronto, Norember, 1876.’ Carey’s son
was re-called, and denied that Kelly,
an Irish passenger on the steamer Kin-
fauns Castle, was identical with Kara-
nagb. He testified that his father
was smiling and talking to O’Donnell
when he (the witness) saw tite latter
draw a revolver and fire one shot.
He (the witness) then ran to fetch his
father’s revolver. His mother was
holding his father when a third shot
was tired. O’Donnell declared that
Carey first drew a revolver, which he
(O Donnell) seized and fired at Carey
in self-defense. He described himself
as Patrick O'Uonnell, aged forty-fire,
a native of Goodsall county Donegal,
laborer, formerly a butler.’’
matter. It is gratifying to learn they
are much encouraged by rli. ir confer
ence with leading railroad men and
wholesale merchants here, end they
believe Ibe extension is the question
of but a abort lime. The geographi
cal location of the country through
which it will pass, shows it to be an
excellent territory and a fine feeder
to tbe Central railroad and Savannah,
when the short gap between Blakely
and Columbia is filled up- From re
liable sources it is learned that the
eountry West of Columbia and tribu
tary to it has greatly improved within
the past few years, and the city has
assumed larger proportions. Its cot
ton trade is also increasing from year
to year. The interests of the Central
railroad ar d Savannah, it is clearly
seen, will be greatly advanced by the
opening up of southeastern Alabama,
with its fine country, rich in farming
lands and timber and filling up rspidiv
with a thrifty popnlation.
IVe doubt not that our readers n ere
gratified ro obtain the address of Judge
Furman before the agriculturist of Ala
bama, which we published in onr issue
of the 24th of July; and we hope they
will preserve it for occasional repe-
rusal. Tbe -wonderful results [of Mr.
Furman s application to sixty acres of
poor land should at least insure much
confidence in his theory. Indeed, with
him it is not a mere theory or specula
tion, but a proposition fully demon
strated by several years experience.
He had an analysis'made of the cotton
plant to' ascertain its component parts,
and found that nine different elements,
organic and inorganic were required for
Its perfect production. He says “com
mercial manures furnish only four,
leaving the others to be supplied by the
soil or atmosphere.” His formula
furnishes all.
A practice, so entirely successful,
well merits tlie attention of agriculture
ist. We here present his formula given
by him gratuitously to all the agricul
turists of the country:

The Operation of Osteotomy Per
formed on Children mi Bellevue
Hospital.
New York Trllmm\
In one of the surgical wards of Bel
levue Hospital a reporter of the Tribune
was surprised to see about a dozen
children lying on their backs,• with
their feet bolstered up and their legs
incased in splints and plaster of Paris.
The oldest child in the lot was under
5 years of age, while the youngest was
about 2 years old.
“Every one of these children has had
both legs broken,” an attendant
said.
When were they injured?” the re
porter inquired,
Eight of them had their legs brok-
ken to-day in this r<»on».” was the re
ply.
A tall young man with fair hair and
a smiling face, who was introduced as
Dr. FraserC: Fuller, a member of the
Bellevue Hospital surgical staff, said:
“I am responsible for the treatment
of these little ones. They all aie either
bow-legged or knock-kneed. Their
limbs were so much out of shape that
they were hardly able to walk, if
they had l>eeii permitted to grow up
without surgical attention they would
have become confirmed criples. They
have been subjected to the operation
known as osteotomy. In the cast* of
bow-legged child an incision is made
in the leg, between the knee and the
ankle. The skin and underlying tfe-

sures are cut through with a knife
far as the bone. Then an ordinary
carpenter's chisel is used. The bone
is out about two-thirds of the way
through, the chisel being held some
what obliquely; As soon as the chis
el is withdrawn the leg is grasped firmly
above and below the cut and the bone
is broken sufficiently to permit the
straightening of the limb. Bandages and
splints are applied and set in plaster to
keep the hone in the right position
until the lracture is healed. The treat
ment is similar in the case of a knock-
kneed child, except that the hone is
broken above the knee.”
“How long docs it take a child to
recover from such operation ?”
The hone is set within four weeks
after the fracture, but the child Is not
permitted to use its limbs mueli for
several days after the splints are re
moved. Walking is allowed by slow
degrees. When the children are able
to run about again however, their legs
are as straight as those of other boys
and girls.”
“Are not the children liable to lose
their lives while under treatment
‘There is comparatively little dan
ger in performing such mi operation on
a child unde.-6 years of age, but the
risk increases as tlie child grows older.
I have been operating upon all the
bow-legged children we could get here
for a t ear. None have died, and those
who have been in the hospital long
enough to reeover have gone away
with straight limbs ”
Do the children sutler much under
the operation V”
"They arc put tinder the same influ
ence oi' ether while their limbs are
being straightened, and suffer much
less twin afterward than a grown person
would under like circumstances. No
tice the way I string their heels np
above the level of their heads. That is
to prevent too much circulation of blood
in the legs, it prevents iutlainm.-ition
and lessens the pain.”
The children, w ho lay on their backs,
with their teet in fhc air, ap|>eared to
be rather comfortable. Gne or two
were fretful, but tlie nurses Slid their
uneasiness was caused by forced inac
tion. Most of the little ones were
the offsprings of poor Italians. It was
said that their legs had become crooked
because they hail been permitted to sit
alone too early and because their bones
were soft from lack of proper nourish
ment. Dr. Fuller exhibited photo
graphs of several children on whom he
hail performed the operation of osteo
tomy within a year, tiome of the pic
tures were taken before tlie operation
and others after the children had re
covered. A comparison of pictures re
vealed wonderful improvement. In
one set of pictures children were re
presented with both legs bowed so bad
ly that their knees were a foot apart
when they stood with their feet close
together. The other pictures showed
the same children with limbs srraght
and well shaped. An increase in height,
as WcU as the removal of the deformity,
caused a' pleasing transformation.

We copy the above as it appear**! in I
the Constitution.
Mr. Furman, tlie first year, made
eight bales without manuring his sixty
acres; the second year he used 500
pounds per acre of Ids compost accord
ing to formula, and made twelve bales
averaging 470 pounds, and each year
he doubled his compost until the fifth
year he used 4,000 pouuds per acre and
realized seventy hales and .500 bushels
of oats, “the nionep value of this crop
being $3,450, leaving a profit on invest
ment iiFinniiure of $2,490, or a percent
age of profit of nearly 260 per cent.”
This clearly demonstrates the value
of his intensive plan of farming.
Thousands of small farmers who culti
vate from twenty-five to thirty-five
acres do not make more than from four
to eight bales anil use? two plows, while
Mr. Furman marie seventy bales with
only two mules. By pursuing Mr. Fur
man’s plan. ten acres would yield 114-6
bales, and :ii one-third of the cost of
making lhem on twenty-five to thirty-
five acres.
But will they follow his example?
It requires work aud energy and some
expenditure of money to carry out his
intensive plan. A good many would
shrink from tlie trouble to make the
compost on their farms. Some would
fear that after making it, much of its
strength and virtue would be lost be
fore using it. We would therefore ad
vise them to begin on a small scale.
Procure enough, say for two acres, and
see how it turned out. In the mean
time procure as much of the best com
mercial fertilizers as may be needed for
a few acre* more and make ten bales on
eight acres. Don’t forget that planting
in clean ground well broken and thin
ning anti working without having to
fight the grass all the. time is half the
battle; it will double and treble the
crop. Cotton that comes up well in
clean ground, that is gone over every
eight or ten days, can’t fail with ordi
nary sea-sons. It is waiting untill the
grass gets the mastery and the cotton
has to fie bruised and skinned by the
hot? to get out the gniss, that can never
come to ni'ieh. Wc have never doubted
tbe great value of the good commercial
fertilizers, such as may be procured
at the Georgia chemical works at Au
gusta. But they should be used on the
!>est land, :uid land that is charged with
a plenty of vegetable fibre. The
reason the phosphates seems to fail
after Ik? in£ used on the same laud for
several years, is because of the exaus-
tion of the humus. Look at the great
quantity of vegetable matter in Judge
Furman’s formula. Jt is that that
keeps the land in fertility. The four
leading ingredients in the commercial
phosphates, with those in the soil and
those supplied by the atmosphere, are
all tnnt are absolutely needed if the
land is kept charged with humus.

The Helllafa Drink. •
J. H. Gough.
A minister ol the Go-pei cold me
one of the most llirilling incidents I
have heard in my life. A member
of hi* congregation came home, for
the first time in his life, intoxicated,
and his boy met him upon the door
step, clapping his hands and excUm-
ing: “Papa has come holue!’ , He
seized that boy by the shoulders,
swung him around, staggered, and
fell in the hall. That miuister said
to me: “I spent tbe night in that
house, 1 went out, bared my brow,
that night dew might fall upon il
and cool it. I walked up and down
the hill. There was hia child dead!
there was his wife in convulsions,
and he asleep. A man abou: thirty
years of age asleep, with a dead child
hi tlie house, having a blue mark
upon the temple where the corner
of tut? marble s^eps had come in
contract with the head.as he .*>wung
him around, afid life wife on the
brink of the grave. Mr. Gough,’’ said
tny tiieud, “1 cursed tbe drink. He
had told tue that 1 mu-t remain until
he awcKe, and I did. When he
awoke he passed his hand over his
face and exclaimed: ‘What is the
matter? where i» my boy?’ You
can not see him. ‘Stand ont of my
way! I will see my boy.* To pre
vent contusion, 1 took him io the
child's bed. aud as I turned down
the sheet and showed him the corpse,
he uttered a wild shriek : ‘Ah, my
child !' ” That minister said further
to me: “One year after he was
brought front the iunatic a«v urn to
lie side by side with his wife in one
grave, and I attended his funeral.”
The minister of the Gospel who told
me that foci is to-day a drunken
hoarier in :i stable in the city of Bos
ton. Now tell me what rum will
m»l do. It will debase, degrade, im-
brme and daum everything that is
noble, bright, giorinu* aud God like
in a human being. There is nothing
drink will not do that is vile, da^tard-
l), cowardly and beili-h. When
are vvv hot io fight till the day of our
death?
A taufer named John W. Smith
died in St. Loofe a few da> - ago,' 1
who fancied he was po.-se?*' s ed of
vast wea.fli. Be iett a will, in which
he bequeathed $l,7f»0,G0l> in property
to various charities, lie gave the
courthouse, which is situated in a
square claimed by him, lor a bethel
mission, lie has b^en a mystery to
everybody in lite, and remained *uch
in death. In his coat-pocket was
found just 15 cents, and the re*i of his
effects were worthless. One specifi
cation in hfe will that his Mineral
should not cost more tha.u $15. ^ was
carried out; the city buried him.
Awful Scenes In larbla.
A Loudon correspondent of the
Boston Globe, says: The stale o!
affairs at Ischia is worse now than
ever. Al first il was decided to
cover die whole scene of the earth
quake with chloride ot lime to pro-
icci »hc living in their reccessary
work among ihe ruins great »nd
deadly has become the stencil »ris
iug Irom the bodies of the more than
eigljt ihuii-and human being- known
to have perished. But when it wa&
found that scores of living persons
were c-utombed in the ruins, ihe
plan of wholesome disinfection had
to be abandoned. To-day a rami
wife re-cued alive from Ihe luins.
The effluvia that followed from ihe
crevice which his persons had actvd
upon a tight-flit ting coik overpow
ered hid rescuer-, all of whom taint
ed. There can be no doubt lhat
many persona still remain alive in
the ischia ruins, it is probable that
ail those remaining alive to-morrow
will have to be abandoned to their
Tate, as every part of the scene has
ceased to be eudurablc. Scarcely a
r scuer is left able to resist the ter
rible vomitings compelled by the
indescribable stenches now prevej-
ent. The entire island has been al
most constantly shaken by a .series
of intermittent shocks ewr since the*
great disaster of last Sunday.
Strange to say, the odors which
will now render further rescues im
possible and drive the force ot hu-
