' The Exposition buildiug at Pitts
burgh, Penn., was destroyed by fire
on Wednesday morning. The fire
was first discovered in the engine
room, and in a very short time the en
tire building, including the floral
halls, was in flames. The loss is esti
mated at over $2,000,000, about $800,-
000 of which falls upon exhibitors *
and was uninsured.
Officials of the Post Office De
partment say that Postmaster Gener
al Gresham will, in his forthcoming
report, take stronger grounds in favor
of the adoption of the postal telegraph
system than any of his .predecessors.
Mr. Gresham will also urge the estab
lishment of a postal savings bank sys-
is also true that the free passes of two
Legislators were taken up by the con
ductor between Atlanta and Macon
one night from two men who were not
entitled to ride on them. The writer,
who had the honor to be a member
of the “late unlamented” body, heard
of the disgraceful transaction, and
asked the conductor who took up the
passes from the impostors or adven
turers to give him the names of the
Legislators to whom the passes bad
been issued, but the conductor de
clined to do so. At the same time we
learned" that the Telegraph was on
track of the affair, with the view of*
exposing the parties implicated in it.
This was some two or three weeks be
fore the Legislature adjourned, and
we confidently expected to seethe facts
published in time for the Legislature
to take some notice of it, which, we
have reason for saying, would have
been done, for there were at least
some men in the body who would
have demanded a full investigation of
the’m&tter injustice to themselves, if
for nothing else.

It was the fortune of the writer to claim the

Sad indeed and heavy the hand of tiod has
been laid upon the ha.baml and father. Bot
a few days ago he consigned to the tomb a
daughter; a day or two after a son was laid
away. Bot tho heaviest blow of all is this
mystei ious dispensation of a merciful Provi-
tem, similar to that now in operation t tO cover up the aifaii; if they declined
in England, which has been found j to give the names of the Legislators
to work very successfully.
The New York Herald of Thurs
day last says: ‘ It is one of the signs
of the times, of which politicians
ought to. take notice, that both the
Massachusetts platforms look favora
bly on tariff reform. The capitalists
and workmen of the State begin to
feel the oppression and strain upon i
them of the Pennsylvania tariff, which,
to favor pig iron and still, makes all
machinery and tools abnormally dear.’’
Anent the New York newspaper
reduction, tho Tribune says it will
giro the newsdealers a larger profit
than any of the other papers do. It
gives them now, as it has for twenty
years or more, one cent profit on every
copy they sell. The Sun gives them
two-thirds of a cent; the Herald,
Times and World, under tho reduced
rates, give them half a cent; the
Mommg Journal and Truth give
less ihau that.
The Northern papers are always
talking about “illiteracy in the
South;” still tho statistics show that,
within the past ten years, illiteracy
has increased in Maine, New Qamsp-
sbire, Nevada and California, and de
creased in Georgia, Mississippi, North
Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
With these statistics before us we are
iorced to conclude that, if the Yan
kees had the negroes they would soon
degenerate into a state of perfect
heathenism.
Typhoid fever prevails to such an
extent in New Ytfrk that the Board of
Health has been moved to issue an
address advising tho destruction or
purification of all clothing that has
been in contact with Ihe disease. This
would imply that the type of fever
now afflicting the city is regarded as
contagious to some extent at least.
The enforcement of proper sanitary
regulations is recognized as the best
means of preventing tho spread of
tj phoid fever.
The Thomasville Enterprise has
fallen into lino with the balance of
the couutry press of Ihe State by
printing a belabored article criticising'
and abusing the late Legislature, and
following the sajB# with a paragraph
expressing s feeling of “pride in the
record of our immediate Representa
tives,’’ and declaring that they “not
only reflected honor upon themselves,
but credit upon tho sagacity of the
people of old Thomas.’’ Thomas did
have two vciy good Representatives in
the “late unlamented,’’ for a fact, but
we have noticed that “our immediate
Representative’’ is given the same
good record all over Ihe State.
The Philadelphia American, rebuk
ing Jay Gould and Vanderbilt, as well
as some of their methods, recalls in
comment soma important facts that
escape the attention of even pious peo
ple. Our contemporary says: “By
the Christian standard,'success is not
in tangible results. The mest succes-
fnl man this world ever saw was a
poor man. He had no friends, except
among the working classes. He earn
ed his living by mechanical labor, un
til he was called from that employ
ment to another. Ho had no fixed
home during his last years of his life.
He was put to death'while still young,
amid the execration of his country
men. And one of his often repeated
lesnons was: “Take heed and beware
ofcovetuouBness; for a man’s life con
sisted) not in the abundance of the
things he possessed).”
The legislature failed to provide
for a school of technology, just as
was expected. The bill died of a
disease known as the new capitol
hill, which was so warmly supported
by the advocates of technology. It
who had imposed upon them and at
the same time “brought the General
Assembly into disgrace, the pres^ and
self-respecting members of the As
sembly, too, were left powerless in
the premises, and had no means of giv
ing the offenders the unenviable noto
riety that they deserved. We therefore
agree with our Macon contemporary
when it says that the railroad compa
nies are doing themselves and the
public a wrong in withholding infor
mation with reference to this abuse
of their confidence and the State’s
good name. And now since this mat
ter has found its way into the public
prints without the names of the Legis
lators who either loaned or hired Their
passes, it is to be hoped that, in justice
to the other members of the “late un-
lamented,” the President or Superin
tendent of the Central railroad will
reconsiderltheir refusal to furnish the
Telegraph with the names of the
guilty parties, and yet let it have them
for publication. Such a course upon
their part could do neither themselves
or their road anv harm, and wonld put
a check upon what appears to be a
growing evil and a disgraceful abc3e
of confidence.
The Spread of Temperauce iu the
South.
The impression is getting abroad
that the temperance element is gain
ing a stronger foothold in the South
than in any other section of the coun
try. A gentleman who has been
traveling extensively in the South
lately said to the Washington corres
pondent of the Louisville Courier-
Journal a day or two ago. “There
are eighty-seven counties in Georgia
where a man cannot buy, beg or steal
a drink of whisky, and none can be
purchased in the State except in some
of the larger towns. People are fa
natical on the subject, and in Missis
sippi they have gone to such an ex
treme that they lax billiard tables
$1,000 apiece, under the belief that
they are a device for the encourage
ment of drinking. There are only a
few foreign-born citizens in the State,
and the native American voters enact
laws satisfactory to themselves.
“The South, by the way, is making
rapid strides, or. rather, portions of it
are. You who have not traveled
through the country and studied its
peeple and institutions, would be sur
prised to know the change that is com
ing over the South.
* *
When editors begin to Iay-\n a sup
ply of petrified terrapins, it is-pretty
good evidence that they do not be
lieve that man can live by “truck”
alone.—Macon Telegraph.
As the editor ot the News and Ad
vertiser was recently presented with
a petrified terrapin, he takes it for
granted that the above was meant for
him. We have never tried to live by
“truck’* alone, brother Telegraph;
nor lias anybody else in this section
that, we know of, but there are
a good many clear-headed .men
in these parts who expect to come
nearer living by it next year
than they have this year. More mon
ey has been lost by cotton than by
“truck” in Southwest Georgia this
year. But if the Telegraph keeps up
its warfare ou truck and truckers we
are afraid that next year we will have
enough truck -in Georgia to glut
every available market in the country.
It is said that the late Fari6h
Furman, the apostle of intensive farm
ing in Georgia, left his. widow and
children in comfortable circum
stances. It seems he was insured for
$5,000 in the American Ltgioti of
Honor, and"for $3,000 in k the Royal
Arcanum. The rental from his plan
tation will amount to about 70 bales
and it was urged that we would not I from an er.l and troublesome world, and all i
be the guesta of Gov. Butler, but ol ’
I be State, which represented many
good and noble people. While in
Boston we were entertained at a hotel
and did not *cross-the threshold of
General Butler. Justice, however,
compels me to say that be was want
ing in no courtesy to the'guests of his
Slate. *
The people of Boston and every
point we visited in the North, certainly
gave evidence that my husband’s name
was held in such honor and reverence
that my heart couldjiot but be touched
with tender and gniteful emotion. I
was told they admired him for “bis
moral grandeur,” “his exalted piety;’*
“that he was the bravest man the war
produced on either side, and that they
were proud of him as an American
citizen,’’ elc.
Surely IheTe must be enough chiv
alry and right feeling on the part of
all true Southerners to cast no blame
upon me for having been the means of
evoking such sentiments as these, and
while every instinct of my uattire is
loyalty and devotion to the South, 1
can testify that there are many ex
cellent Christians at the North who
are anxious to blot out all sectional
differences and extend to us the love
and kindness which makes a nation
“that happy people whose God is the
Lord.”
