IJ- U ijneer to see Bismarck figuring
in the. rule of peace-maker in Europe.
It is gratifying to see the lively tone
of comment on Emory Speer’s Senator.
ODonovan Rosas refuses to lecture.
So there is some good in the old villain,
after ail._
Emory Speck’s Senator’s Judge will
tear himself away from Atlanta, and
exist in Savannah.

The new postmaster 01 Savannah

I:r speaking of “Illinois frauds,’’ the
so-called Democrats who refuse to
vote for Morrison for Senator are of
course included.
Albany has been the Mecca for hun
gry and impecunious Democrats since
the November election. President
Cleveland is uot a man to be envied.
It was mockery of a great man’s
memory to put a political and personal
knave like John Sherman in charge of
the dedicatory ceremonies of the Wash-
lngton monument.
The Georgia Legislature is remotely
responsible fOr the confirmation of Em
ory Speer. 4h its re-assembling, in
the summer, will it “bringforth works
meet for repentance?’’ We suspect it
will not.
The balances are not held out equal
ly in this world. Moses went to the
penitentiary, Brown to the Senate and
Speer to the Bench. It will take the
biggest sort of a “hereafter” to equal
ize things.
There are too many Federal offices
in the United States, and the appoint
ing power of the President is too great
About fifty 'per cent, of the offices
should be abolished. Hundreds of
them are mere sinecures.
A Soctherx paper says that “Cyrus
IV. Field is said to bear a striking re
semblance to Jell' Davis.” A state
ment like that would seem natural in
a renegade sheet like the New York
Sun; but a Southern paper ought to
have saved Mr. Davis the indignity of
such a comparison.
Georgia Democrats have submitted
to shameless “commercial methods” in
politics, for so long a time, and have
endorsed the wretched author of them
so often, that there is little reason to
hope that they will have the manli
ness to openly wash their hands, hence
forth, of methods and man.
That $125,000 public building for
Macon—engineered througli the House
by Mr. Blount, may not convert the
Macon Tel-graph; but it will knock
that paper further out of time than
ever before in its future fights against
Jim Blount. He is solid in Macon
now, even were he otherwise before.
The Oregon Legislature adjourned
without electing a Senator to succeed
Mr. Slater. Unless there be a State
law empowering the Governor to ap
point a Senator, in such an emergency,
Oregon will have only one Senator
present at the assembling of tho Sen-
. ate in executive session, on March 5th.
The following very suggestive item
of foreign news is of a late date:
‘•Russia and France are backing tho Snltan
of Turkey against Italy. The Forte's prepar
ations to mobilize a fleot for tho purpose of
sending an expedition to Massowah hare been
checked. This is reported to be due to a warn
ing from England that the Turkish fleet
would not be permited to enter the Snez ca
nal. Owing to the attitude of Tnrkey the Ital
ian Government holds in readiness for em
barkation a full corps d'armce.”
It is stated with as much reliability
as generally attends guess-work that
Senator Lamar will undoubtedly be a
member of the Cabinet. He is an
honest man, an able one and an un
compromising tariff reformer. That
is the kind of material out of which
Democratic Cabinets ought always to
be made.
Russia has given assurances to Eng
land that it has no purpose to extend
its conquests in the direction of Af
ghanistan. If these assurances are
taken for what they are worth, Eng
land will not relax her vigilance in
that quarter. If there is anything less
reliable than the pledges of England
it is the oath of Russia.
Pennsylvania’s influence in the
coming dispensation should be inverse
ly proportioned to the size of Blaine’s
-majoHty to that State. The Bandall-
ites don’t seem to have voted very
heavily for Cleveland, else Blaine
wonid not have carried the State by 81,-
000 majority. They sowed sparingly
—Jef them reap in like measure.
Atlanta and Macon society have
been fearfully stlrrod up within the
past few days by sensational and slan
derous publications in the Cincinnati
Enquirer. It was a renegade Demo
cratic sheet during the Presidential
campaign, and it is not surprising that
it takes a special interest in retailing
slanders in Southern communities—
particularly if they have a Democratic
leaning. The Enquirer correspondent
would dq well to amble back in the di
rection of Cincinnati.
IfrRgEY is indignant at Italian occu
pation qf the Red sea coast at Masso-
wah, and nothiug hut the fear of the
English fleet prevents the Porte from
going to war with Italy in consequence.
The Turk* are growing restless under
the discreditable Inactivity of their
army and navy, while Turkish pro
vinces are being occupied by foreign
armies; and it remains to be seen that
the Sultan can much longer retain his
control over the populace in Constan
tinople, without taking steps to vindi
cate the honor of Turkey abroad.
The statistics of the grain carrying
trade from the port of New York, for
the year 1884, shows bow utterly the
policy of high tariff exclusiveness has
driven the ships of the United States
from the ocean. In that year, there
were shipped to Europe, from the port
flf JiffW Y ork i 42,961,799 bushels of
gpajn, in stpaipers. Of the steamers
ftpjt did the carrying, Great Britain
furnished fiej, Germany 316, Belgium

S8, Italy lfl. Spain 5, Portugal 3, and
the United States 0. In sailing vessels,
2 431,988 bushels were carried by 101
vessels—of which the United States
furnished only 2. High tariff legisla
tion has driven the ships of this conn-
try .from the ocean.. During Buchan

akin to free trade prevailed, the com
merce of the United States was next to
that of Great Britain.

LIFE II ICELAND.
queer Customs «(the People In the 1
Land of Eternal snow.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Mrs. Olaf Krarer is an intelligent!
little Esquimaux woman, twenty-seven |
years of age. She relates that she was :
born in the . northern part of Green
land, and lived there until she was
fifteen years of age, when reports hav
ing reached her father of the warmer,
better country of Iceland, the family
emigrated there on a dog-sled. Dur
ing her stay of five years in Iceland
she wqs to use her own words, “eddi-
cated,” and learned, among other
things, of America and her people.
Having a ’great desire to satisfy her
curiosity concerning us, she came with
a number of Icelanders to British
America, anil from the eastern coast
finally came to Manitoba. To an
Enquirer reporter she said: “My
country is very different from this. 1
will explain how we bnild houses in
my country. We press the snow into
hard bricks and build a tent-shaped
house. Inside we line the walls and
floor with fur. We have an opening
left for a door, which is high enough
for a child eight years old here to go in
and out. We hang a fur curtain up at
the opening. We make our lire in the
snow-house. The fires are made of
lean meat, oil aud bones, for we have
no wood in my country—not so much
as a match, i’ires are started with a
flint, but flints are very scarce and tile
man who owns one is considered well
off. The smoke from the lire is kept in
tbe house, and as we use oil ou our
faces the smoke and oil make us of a
dark color. We never wash, for there
is no water and’it would freeze ou our
faces. A lady, in my country uses
plenty of oil, just as ladies here think
they look nice with powder and paint.
The ladies of my country have an easy
time, no work but the making of the
clothes and the care of her children;
only, if a baby cries she will not take
care of it. She" throws it into the cor
ner of the snow house, and when it is
quiet she takes it and pets it. I will
explain to you how we marry in my
country. Tile man must steal liis wife.
If he is caught trying to get her he is
killed, for if he is uot sharp enough to
steal her they think he is not sharp
enough to take care of her. After lie
has married her he can never leave her.
If he does, he is killed. We have no
religion in my country, but we think a
good man will go to a good place, and
a bad man to a bad place, we are kind
to each other, only we are not kind to
the sick, for we think if they were any
account they would not be sick. We
have but one sickness. Sometimes it
last two years, sometimes six years. I
tbink it is.what you call consumption.
When a man dies we stick him away
in the snow and his spear with him.
“I will explain for you how we hunt
in my country. The men kill whales,
walruses, bears, and seals. The flrsi
man who sticks his spear into an animal
gets the skin, and tile meat is divided
between the ethers. The meat is eaten
raw. The people like best tbe blood
and fat. The skins are used for
clothes, which are sewed up" with
animal’s sinews. Our sleds are made
of skius and bones, and are drawn by
dogs. When the dogs are well trained
thev are driven without reins.
“The beds of my country are made
of the fur ; a whole family sleep in one
bed. If a man lives alone he makes tlic
furs into a sack, and crawls into it
when he wants to sleep. We sleep
when we are sleepy, aud eat when
hungry. Our nighttime lasts for six
months, but we havealways light from
tbe snow and stars. Our daytime we
do not like—the sunlight and snow
make our eyes bum like they would
drop out of our heads. The two
months’ twilight is the most pleasant
time.
My people grow no taller than a
child of eight in this country, and they
never live to be over sixty years of age.
This climate,” concluded Miss Krarer,
“weakens me. It is very warm.”
And indeed the little lady wore her
sleeves short, exposing her arms. Short
arms they were, and peculiarly shaped.
The arms of the Esquimaux men are
straighter, from being used more.
Mrs. Krarer’* height is forty inches,
her weight; one hundred and twenty
pounds.
“What did you think of the people of
this country when you first saw them?”
was asked Miss. Mrarer.
‘Oh,” she replied, “they looked so
big they almost scared me to death;
and I was much frightened when I
first saw a black woman. I thought
she was very dirty.”
Same Loewi Deductions.
W. G. Bronlee, in Million.
The continued mAintanance of pro
tective tariffs in this and other conn-
tries is due to the notion that, in some
way or another, a nation is benefitted
by placing restriction on its foreign
trade. The two great objections of a
protective tariff are (1) to prevent the
home country from exchanging its sur
plus products with foreign countries,
and (2) to counteract the efiteot of high
wages in the home country.
(1) Is it for a nation’s interest to pre
vent foreign trade? Unless commer
cial exchanges are mutually profitable,
they will cease to" exist. The very ex
istence, therefore, of commercial ex
changes proves that in aggregate they
are profitable to the persons concerned
■In them. A protective tariff, then, pre
vents only exchanges that would be
profitable, since there is no desire to
make unprofitable exchanges. Com
mercial exchange, without which the
division of labor would he Impossible,
is one of the greatest labor-saving de
vices known to man. A protective
tariff, by interfering with the freedom
of exchange, restricts the operation of
the principle of the division of labor,
and must necessarily render labor less
productive than it would be if ex-
changes Hfete frep.
(2) A protective tqnfis tqteqded to
counteract fhe effect ofh'gh W«e*. The
protectionists aye qqwepqg qn this
{Joint, if J$ is tine. «* Si® advocates
of protection declare ft Is* that, owing
to fhe high rate iff wages to this conn-
try. our manufacturers could not w 1th-
out protection compete with foreigners
in our markets, it is obvious that pro
tection in some way counteracts the ef
fect of high ’Wages- This ft mm do
only by compelling the laborer to ac
cept a smaller portion of the fruits of
his toil than he would receive under
free trade. In other words, it reduces
the purchasing power of wages. It is
clear, then, that the intention and ef
fect or a protective tariff is to reduce
tbe wages of the laborer ■ and increase
the protit! of the employer.
Editors Telegraph and Jlessenger:
In your issue of Jan nary 30 appears
an article from the Charleston ATews
and Courier, which purports to bean
interview with a South Carolina man
ufacturer of fertilizers, in which inter
view said manufacturer displays an
amount of ignorance as to the mode of
inspecting fertilizers in the State that
is calculated to get himself aud the
self-confessed swindlers he alludes to
into trouble. Georgia was the first of
the Southern States to enact laws for
the protection of her farmers in the
purchase of commercial fertilizers, and
they are the offspring of the fertile
brain of one of the most progressive
and intelligent agricnlturalists in the
South, and embraces three modes:
First. Before a shipment of fertil
izers can be placed on sale in this State,
on request of the manufacturer or
dealer, the goods are inspected by a
sworn officer -of the, department of
agriculture and a sample drawn from
the goods, which is sent In duplicate to
this department. The duplicate is sent
from the department by number to the
State chemist and the result of his
analysis rendered to the department in
the same way, when it is accredited to
the brand of goods represented by the
sample of that number—the chemist
not knowing either the brand or man
ufacturer of the goods he analyses.
The results of these analyses .are pub
lished each inonfh during the season
and represent the inspections of the
previous month.
It is thus impossible for a ]>otind of
goods to be placet! on sale without be
ing represented by sample in the de
partment, whether it comes Iu the first
or last of the season. It is on these in-
sjieetions that the tags are issued, and
before tbe inspection is made, in each
instance, the manufacturer, in consid
eration of being allowed to place the
goods on sale, signs an agreement to
cancel all sales thereof, ami forleit all
claims for purchase money therefor, if
after the official analysis is made the
Commissioner of Agriculture shall pro
hibit its sale in accordance with law.
2. Inspectors are sent out by the
commissioners during the season and
samples of various brands are drawn
from goods in the hands of the dealers
at different points in the State, to de
tect any possible reduction of the grade
or substitution of inferior goods for
that or. which the tags were originally
issued. While this has been done ev
ery season, I have been allotted this
season to that particular branch of the
work. As the season is more advanced
in Southwest Georgia, I have as yet
been principally engaged in that sec
tion. With each sample thus drawn
goes a report, which shows the brand
of each goods, the manufacturer, the
guaranteed analysis, the dealer or
farmer in whose possession the goods
were, so that if the official analysis in
dicates anything w'rong it can be read
ily traced up.
3. Every farmer in Georgia, when he
purchases fertilizers, can draw sam
ples of the same, which should be done
in the presence of competent witnesses,
sealed and properly labeled, showing
brand, and manufacturer, and dealer
from whom purchased, and either sent
by express to the department or kept
In the hands of* one of the witnesses,
where they will be preserved. If the
farmer entertains any doubt as to the
fienuineness of the jijoods, on request ^
the commissioner will have the sample
re-analyzed by the State chemist with
out charge.
Now, while Commissioner Hender
son enforces all three of these methods
in Georgia. Alabama uses only the
third, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Virginia the second. It would
seem that our farmers are more secure
ly protected from imposition than
those of either of the other States
named. Under Commissioner Hender
son's administration no law on our
statute books is more stringently en
forced, and the disreputable characters
alluded to by the correspondent of
the Charleston yews and Courier, as
church members and Sunday school
teachers, engaged in the manufacture
of fertilizers in that State, will find it
harder to place their spurious goods in
the hands of a Georgia farmer, unde
tected, than for a camel to pass through
the eye of a needle. The difference in
commercial value of certain brands as
shown by the official aualysis of the
two States, is easily understood when
it is known ftiat the standard of Geor
gia is much higher than that of South
Carolina, and the brand or name of a
fertilizer has nothing to do with the
grade.
The publication of the article named
in your widely circulated journal has
shaken the confidence of the people in
the South Carolina manufacturers of
fertilizers, and I have been frequently
requested since to watch their goods
closely, which I shall certainly do.
Forewarned is forearmed.
TV. S. DeTVolf,
Inspector of Fertilizers.
FRAUD IX THE OFFICE.
Tie Investigation in tbe &
District.
Special to Savaaiudi News.
Macon, Feb. 19.—Last night, when
United States Commissioner John R.
Haskins entered the office of United
States Marshal TYade, of the Southern
District of Georgia, and asked for his
mail, he was told that he had none, but
that a paper had been left to be served
on him. This was a rule nisi forward
ed by Judge Pardee, of the Fifth dis
trict, issued at chambers in New Or
leans, directing him to show cause why
he should not be removed from the of
fice of Commissioner. He left tbe
office and went home and the matter
was kept secret. It involved an ex
posure of swindling operations that
have been carried on by the Commis
sioners of the district for sometime.
The matter dates back to October,
1883, when the United States Marshal
tendered his resignation. About this
time the Department of Justice had
been attracted by the extraordinary
expenses over those of corresponding
years. Jesse W. Nightingale was sent
South to mvestigate The offices of the
I Southern district and by an order is-
j sued by the department he went to Sa-
1 vannafi and made a full investigation,
showing up the officials there in a bad
light. Jie then come to Macon and
went throughtthe same work and sub
mitted his report giving the results of
his investigation. When he called on
the Macon office he was given full
charge aud was shown all the docu
ments and papers. During his stay he
did not intimate charges against any
one. The first intimation of the report
submitted was the receipt of a letter
from Judge Panlee transmitting a copy
of the examiner’s report touching his
administration as Commissioner, and
suggesting that lie answer the charges
before further action was taken. A
report was prepared to be forwarded
during tlie week, but last night he was
served with a rule nisi directing him to
show cause on the first day of the May
term of tlie United States Circuit Court
why tlie order of the court appointing
him Commissioner should not be re
scinded and revoked. No reasons were
stated in the examiner’s report. With
this was served.the same rule nisi on
United States Commissioners M. T.
Wade and S. Levy of Augusta, Thad.
0. Sturgis, of Columbus, E. C. Wade,
of Wade, Savannah, and D. T. Dunn,
of Brunswick. The reason assigned
was fraud in their respective offices,
collusion with the deputies, false re
turns, unnecessary fees, and frivolous
cases. The developments had shown a
system of stealing and fraud that was
astonishing and which it was tried to
smother. A few days before the ap
pearance of the rule nisi the Attorney
General issued • an order instructing
United States Marshal E. C. Wade, if
he had recommissioned Deputy Mar
shals H*. J. Clarke and A. S. Whitely,
of Macon, W. J. G. Wilcher, of Glass
cock county, W. H. Ursury, of Augus
ta, Joseph Raley, of Warren county,
J. G. Harris, of Savannah, and John L.
Cochrane, of Newton, Baker county, at
once to revoke their commissions.
The reason assigned was that they had
sworn out warrants for persons for vi
olating the internal revenue laws, and
making cases for the purposes of get
ting fees, the prisoners being wholly
innocent. The matter has developed a
system of fraud that has been costing
the government thousands of dollars
annually, and involves high officials of
the Uhited States courts.
The Tariff on machinery.
Morning News.
That the cotton manufacturers of the
South have done well during the past
five years has been often asserted and
never contradicted. The highest
proof of this fact is the statistics of
new mills which have been established
in every Southern State. While the
manufacture of cotton goods has not
been as profitable for the past two
years as before that time, still nearly
all the Southorn mills are in a healthy
condition, and they have no reason to
complain when tbe general stagnation
in every other part of the country Is
taken into consideration.
The money invested in cotton ma
chinery in the Siouth during the past
five years amount to many millions of
dollars. The tariff on this machinery
was 45 per cent, ad valorem. The
machinery cost our cotton spinners
and weavers nearly half as much
again, not taking freight, insurance,
etc., Into consideration, as the same
machinery costs English spinners and
weavers. Probably a very small pro
portion of this extra cost went into the
public Treasury in the shape of cus
toms duties. By far the larger part
went to Massachusetts manufacturers,
who are enabled by the burdensome
ttriff laws to collect this enormous
direct tax from their customers.
A company is organized to bnild a
cotton factory, it buys $200,000 worth
of machinery or what would be $200,-
000 worth m England. The duty on
this machinery is $90,000, which must
be paid to the government if the ma
chinery is purchased abroad. If it is
bought In this country the manufac
tures have the benefit of this protec
tive tariff. The cost to the cotton mill-
men is the same. The interest ou the
duty alone, at 8 per cent., is $7,200
per annum. What a slice is this to cut
out of the profits of a mill when the
margin is as close as it lias been for
the last two years!
Qnp of tbp largest new miljs in the
Sqqth w*s Tun \ast year at a net loss of
$2],Q60. Probably the loss would
have been scarcely anything bad it
not beep for the tariff on it* expensive
machinery. There are yet some cotton
mannfecturers who think they are
benefitted by the war tariff. Perhaps
they are to some extent. They have
their .machinery, and the tariff pre
vents the establishing of new mills
which might compete With them, as
they have only a home market. But
what will they do when it becomes
necessary for them to restock their
own mills with new machinery? Will
they feel'” ‘
tax-over
burden to the shoulders of those who
are not responsible for it nor able, to
bear it? * •
Woman’s Love the Best Doetor.
One of my father’s brothers (says
Mrs. L. M. Child), residing in Boston,
became a victim to the prevailing
cholera epidemic. When the first
symptoms appeared, his wife sent the
children, into' tbe country, and she
herself remained to atteud upon him.
Her friends warned her against such
rashness. They told her it would be
death to her, and no benefit to him;
for he would soon be too ill to know
who attended upon him. These argu
ments made no impression upon her
affectionate heart. She felt that it
would lie a life-long satisfaction to her
to know who attended upon him, if he
did not. She accordingly stayed, and
watch him with unremitted care. This,
however, did not avail to save him.
lie grew worse and worse, and finally
died. Those who went round with the
death carts had visited the chamber,
and seen that the end was near. They
now came.to take the body, according
to official instructions. His wife re
fused to let it go. She told me she
never knew how to account for it, but
though he was perfectly cold and rigid
and to every appearance quite dead,
there was a powerful impression on
her mind that life was not quite ex
tinct. The men were overborne by
the strength of her conviction, though
their own reason was opposed to It.
The half-hour again came round, and
again was heard the solemn words,
“Bring out your dead.” The wife
again resisted their importunities; but
this time tlie men were more resolute.
They said the duty assigned to them
was a painful one, but the health of the
city required punctual obedience to the
orders they received; if they ever ex
pected the pestilence to abate, it mnst
be by a prompt* removal of the dead,
and immediate fumigation o’f the in
fected apartments. She pleaded and
pleaded, aud even knelt to them in an
agony of tears, continually saying, “I
am sure he is 1iiot dead.” The men
represented the utter absurdity of such
an idea; but finally, overcome by her
tears, again departed. With trembling
haste she renewed her efforts to restore
life. She raised his head, rolled his
limbs in hot flannel, and placed hot
onions on his feet. The dreaded half
hour again came round, and found
him as cold and rigid as ever. She re
newed her entreaties so desperately
that the messengers began to think a
little gentle force would be necessary.
They accordingly attempted to remove
the body against her will; but she
threw herself upon it, and clung to it
with such frantic strength, that they
could not easily loosen her grasp.
Impressed by the remarkable energy
of herwlll, they relaxed their efforts.
To all their remonstrances£she answer
ed “If you bury him, you shall bury
me with him.” At last, by dint of
reasoning on the necessity of*the case,
they obtained from her a promise that
if he showed no signs of. life before
they again came round, she would
make no further opposition to the re
moval. Having gained this respite,
she hnng the watch up on the bed-post
and renewed her efforts with redoubled
zeal. She placed kegs of hot water
about him, forced brandy between his
teeth, breathed. into his nostrils, and
held hartshorn to his nose, but still the
body lay motionless and cold. She
looked anxiously at the watcli; in five
minutes the promised half-hoar would
expire, and those dreadful voices
would be heard, passing through the
streets. Hopelessness cgme over her?
she dropped the Jie*d she had been
sustaining; her hand trembled violent
ly, and the hartshorn she had been
holding was spilled on the pallid free.
Accidentally the position of the head
had become slightly , tipped backward,
and the powerful liquid flowed into his
nostrils. Instantly there was a short,
quick gasp, a straggle, his eyes opened
and when the deathmen came again
they' found him sitting np in the bed.
He lived for many years afterward,
and enjoyed unusually good health.
Why she Didn’t Marry Him.
“Yes, I live pleasantly enough with

A Trip Through Tlie Fines and
Wirejra»s.
Boarding the west bound train on
the Blakely Extension of the
Southwestern Railroad on Monday' a
reporter of the Nxws and Ad-
vertiseb entered the passenger
coach, where he found the irre
pressible and omnipresent “com
mercial tourist” in force. All the
seats were occupied by these jocose
and convivial fellows and their bag
gage. Passing into the next apart
ment of the car, which is divided by a
petition in the centre, I found another
drummer in animated conversation
with an Albany belle. ; The hours flew
swiftly by as I listened to the anec
dotes, jokes and witticisms of the jolly
crowd. On reaching Arlington I left
the train and went to the Arlington
hotel where I spent tbe night. This is
one of the best houses on the road.
Mrs. L. H. Smith, the accomplished
wife of Prof. Smith, is an accomplished
lady, and knows how to administer to
the wants and comforts of her guestԤ
The fare is excelleqjpritA crariety and
J quality, and would tempt the appetite
I of an epicure. The rooms arecom-
1 fortable and the beds neat and luxuri
ous. On Tuesday morning, in compa
ny with Mr. J. W. Calhoun, one of
the live aud progressive men of Arling
ton, I started for a drive of .twenty
miles through the country. Tlie roads
iaiways'good) were in fine condition,
and after an invigorating drive through
a fine tract of country, where we saw-
large herds of sheep ami cattle grazing,
we drew up at Damascus, where we
! halted for an hour. Damascus is one
of the best business points In .South
west Georgia. There are three stores
and a steam grist mill aud gin at this
place. The merchants are Webb &
Hightower, Webb & McNair, -and W.
A. Sikes. All of these houses are
prosperous and are doing a large trade.
From Damascus we started for the old
historic town of Colquitt, the county
site of Miller. About 11 o’clock we
reached this place, and notwithstand
ing the reputation of Colquitt for
shooting, cutting, de>perate fighting
and killing, 1 found it as peaceable and
quiet a town as I ever visited. There
were a number of people in town from
the country, and they were good
natured, social and convivial, patron
izing the bar liberally, but I did not
see a drunken or-boisterous man, and
if there. was a quarrel or an angry
word uttered during my short stay
there it escaped me. These people
doubtless have been misrepresented
and possibly maligned, for In addition
to their amiability they are intelligent
and cultivated as clearly transpired
in the alacrity wifh which they sub
scribed for the News and Adver
tiser. At 3 p. if. I regretfully took
leave of Colquitt with a firm resolution
to re-visit the town and cultivate the
people. The sun had sunk to rest far
beyond the Chattahoochee, when cold
ami shivering with stiffened limbs my
companion-and 1 abandoned our buggy
at Arlington. On Wednesday I re
turned to Leary and the clever busi
ness ai\d professional xn^ii^f Jfrat live
town. No farmers were to be seen in
town, the weather being too bitterly
cold for people to go any were, except
on urgent business. Editor Cook was
ascourteous and affable as ever, and
extended us a cordial welcome. Judge
Monroe was in his usftal jovial and
pleasant'mood, but has a tendency to
dwell on- patent medicine. While in
conversation, the Judge told me that
he was in the war and belonged to the
best running regiment in the Southern
army. Mr. J. R. P. Durham is pre
paring to move away having sold out
his stock of goods to Capt. Phil Boyd.
Mr. T. W. Hammond, the live livery
man, of -Leary, has just completed a
large and attractive livery stable and
is doing a thriving business. Messrs.
Bray, Price, Elliot and Boyd are mov
ing along smoothly, and although not
rushed with cash customers are doing
their usual trade at tfas season of tlie
year. Dr.-A. L. Hand is conducting a
drag business in connection with his
practice, and is succeeding well in both.
In the afternoon, accompanied by Mr.
W. J. Horsely, the efficient depot
agent at Leary, I drove to Morgan, the
county site of Calhoun, where I made
a number of pleasant acquaintances,
and found that they all were friends
and admirers of the News and Adver
tiser. My visit here, of necessity a
brief one, was long enough to beget in
me a strong desire to visit Morgan
again, which I hope to do soon.—
Returning to Leary I stopped at the
excellent hotel of Mr. T. Ii. Griffin,
which abounds in generous fare and
comfortable beds. After supper I
learned that a party of young ladies
and gentlemen were to meet at the
hotel to organize a literary society.
My friend, Mr. Cook, kindly invited
me to attend, but imperative business
compelled me to decline. I, however,
heard sweet- strains of -music proceed
from the parlor and envied the mem
bers of the club as I wrote my letters.
May the Leary Literary Club live long
and prosper.
American Oysters in European
Market.
Commercial Bulletin.
“The importation -of oysters from
America to Europe,” says the Man
chester Examiner, “is rapidly becom
ing a business of importance. The
figures have been steadily increasing
during the last six or seven years till
they have attained dimensions worthy
of being chronicled as a feature of our
growing trad© with the United States.
Good table oysters have been arriving
during, the season at the rate of sever
al thousand barrels a week, and up to
the present time as many, probably, as
30,000 barrels have been received. For
the week epding January 14 tbe quant
ity received was 2,400 barrels, while
tbe quantity known to be afloat at the
same date was 3,400 barrels. Ameri
can oysters are now sold everywhere
at a moderate price, and the demand
for these delicious moliuses is extend
ing at 6ue&a rate as to be at present
considerably in advance of tbe supply.
Arrangements are, however, in pro
gress to ship as many as are likely to be
sold, and aa the native scalps of the
United State* are very productive,
whilst tbe supply is being largely in
creased by artificial culture, we have
every reason to expect in future as
many as we can consume, although
buyers on the Continent are also tak
ing all they can get, their own stores
being in a somewhat declining state,
or, at all events, only kept up by con
stant care and attention.”

A CARD FROM DR. DOTE.
In Which He Corrects Errors in
Regard to Miss Graves.
We print with pleasure the follow
ing letter frem Dr. W. Abram Love.
It treats of tbe scene at the Opera
House on Monday night, which has
awakened so much interest. Dr.
Love’s high ability gives weight to his
explanation of this affair, and the sen
sible way in which he puts it carries
conviction. It will be seen that no mor
phine was used to quiet Miss Graves,
as would have been done had herbraiu
been affected, but on the contrary,
brandy, which is a stimulant, and
which was needed to compensate the
excessive tension of the nerves. It
will be seen also that rather than re
fusing to go out of the door, she was
really trying to go out, and that she
did not use the expressions in favor of
Lula Hurst, but expressions opposing petit jurors
her. It was, in fact, her belief that 1 , w.F. Striplin, J j?B. Watkins,

ery, and her indignation at what she
thought waa_deceptiiiq*JUak Aroused to
an uncontrollable extent. Mr.
Graves’s coolness in reassnring the au
dience, and in showing that his sister
had simply lost control on her nerves,
commanding universal sympathy and
respect, and averted what might have
been a serious trouble.
Editors Constitution:
In justice to the parties interested,
will you allow me space in your col
umns to correct some unintentional er
rors in your report oflhe scene at De-
Give’s opera house last Monday even
ing during Miss Lula Hurst’s* exhibi
tion, in which* Miss Zella Graves is-
presented as “an insane lady” in the
audience, made to figure as “a lunatic
at large?” In the scene of excitement
1 was called to her side, and your re
porter makes it appear that she was
quieted by the hypodermic use of mor
phine and the administration of stimu
lants. Please allow me to state that
Miss Graves was not insane, and that
there was no morphine used in any
way to quiet her. She is naturally of
a very nervous temperament, as any
one could see or can see at a glance—is
a lady of culture and refinement with
quite*a tase for music and art. Dur
ing the exhibition her naturally excit
able, nervous tension became so inten
sified that site lost control of herself
and gave way to her feelings. It was
jnst such a nervous tension as has been
seen to exhibit itself sporadically or
epidemically in all ages of the world,
and no sex nor age, nor sect nor coun
try is exempt from it. Neither heath
en, Mohammeden nor Christian; reli
gious enthusiasm, intense emotion, in
ordinate mental action or undue ner
vous excitement of any kind lead to
the production of the paroxysms. One
of the leading symptoms in such cases
is to chant the* chorus and step to tlie
jnusic—“the song and the dance of the
tarantati.” Another equally promi
nent symptom is an uncontrollable op
position to being controlled by brute
force, tbe force of the seeourists of the
manner of the pavious. These promi
nent symptoms were clearly evidenced
in the midst of the audience. It is a
condition of the braiu and nerve system
—the very opposite of insanity* of
madness, of hydrophobia—a condition
in which intellectual action is vivified
and nervous and muscular action in
tensified until the over-action produces,
exhaustion—a condition in which the
emotions, affections and sympathies
have full swayi In a word, emotional
and intellectual action evercoming and
ct ntrjlling the syslem. All of these
symptoms were plainly and unmistak
ably evidenced before the audience in
every action, and brought out in bold
relief side by side with her emotional
action, her affectionate and sympathet
ic nature. Aside from,these conditions,
attended with excessive but weakened
cardiac action, there was nothing
wrong with her mencally. She was
perfectly rational. When spoken to
kindly she responded readily and ra
tionally, acting intelligently and be
comingly. She resisted with feelings
of indignation the idea and the efforts
to control her by force. There was
more insanity in such an idea than
there was in the lady herself. When
she was informed that it would be best
for her, in her nervous condition, to
leave the scene of excitement and get
into the open air, she expressed her
self as quite wRling to do so, but op
posed anything like coersive action,
asking that they do not put their hands
ou her. She was perfectly rational
and perfectly right. She was not qui
eted with morphine, but by kindness
and her own intellectual action. She
was no more insane tjian have been
thousands of others in this and other
countries who have reached a similar
condition of uervous tension from re
ligious, emotional or sympathetic ex
citement, who have not been and are
not now subjected to the charge of in
sanity. She was given stimulants to
prevent the exhaustion which usually
follows such paroxysms. She recov
ered completely ou reaching the open
air, and has felt no symptoms and
evinced no signs of a returning parox
ysm—possible never may again.
In simple justice to the young lady,
who was to me an entire stranger until
the moment 1 was called to her side in
the scencc above alluded to, I ask a
place for tills communication, that any
erroneous impressions may be correct
ed anil no injustice nor damage done
to any. Very Respectfully,

Rives, Ga., Feb. 20,1885.
Xeics and Advertiser:
My friend Cook seems to have let his
anger and indignation run away with
his sense, as in his paper this week he
accuses me of hypocrisy and slander in
my article of tlie 13th inst., in sayiug
that the moral tone of his town was be
low par; yet in the same paper he men
tions the fact that the whole town was
drawn together at the blast of a bear
master’s horn. Yet on my recent visit
one of the most eloquent men In South
Georgia preached to a congregation of
eight, and although there was a good
fife at the church the balance of the
inhabitants preferred staying at home,
or lounging around the streets. I
think were the case to be tried I would
summons brother Cook as my chief
witness; and would respectfully ask
him if he doesn’t think it better to dis
prove a thing with the logic of facts
than to get mad and say “you are an
other.” I might be all lie says I am,
and more—yet my being such would
uot make his tow*n any better, or clear
it of tjie charges. Let me say to my
young friend: keep your anger in
your back pocket, and your logic ou
your desk and you will succeed much
better than with your anger promi
nent, and your logic hid under an ac
cumulation of debris by which the
lava which covered Pompeii is but as
a sheet. West Dougherty.
One Man Who Won’t Vote Acain
for Cleveland.
New York WorW.
One of the oldest Democrats in Iowa
passed through Chicago two weeks ago
en route to Albany, says the Chicago
Herald.
“I have the most implicit confidence
in Governor Clevelahd,” be then said:
“My son is well acquainted with the
son of his schoolmates, and I get my
information pretty straight. He is
going to make a grand President. T
am confident that he will be a second
Jackson. I have the serenest hope for
the future of onr country.”
Yesterday afternoon he
through town on his way home.
“This man Cleveland may be all
right,” he observed, “and be may not,
but, if my opinion is good for anything,
I’ll predict that in one year from date
there’ll be the sickest lot of Democrats
you ever saw. Why, I-just remarked to
him that there Was no hurry, of
course, but that I wanted a post office
in our town when the proper time
came, if every thing was agreeable, as
ol course it must be, and no objection
arising, which there ain’t, and all that,
and that I’d jnst leave my card so’s to
remind him, you know, and he says:
‘This is altogether too premature, my
dear sir. I’m not President yet, and
you will have to come at me in the
regular way,’ or words to that effect.
Now, ain’t-that a fine way to treat a
man who’s got the claim I’ve got ?
Why, I’ve voted the Democratic ticket
in my town when I had to have It
counted among the scattering. Between
you and me, I wouldn’t mind if old
Jim Blaine had got there.”

After “Wert Dougherty” with a.
Sharp Stick!
A few days ago we published a letter
from “West Dougherty,” in which our
esteemed correspondent took occasion
to lecture the Learyites a little. We
thought our neighbor, the Courier,
would come back at him, and sure
enough he has. Reproducing “West
Dougherty’s” letter, the Courier says:
Well, we are glad to find so much
pure and unadulterated philanthropy
iu tlie heart of one individual, as is in
dicated by the above article, as being
possessed by Brother Rives. We have
indeed found a friend—for who but a
friend would discover one’s fault, and
publish them from the house-tops.
We had hardly, expected such interest
to be manifested in our behalf. Con
tamination, if one may judge from the
above article, poisons every breath of
bur religious and social atmosphere.
The children are kept perpetually in
doors to prevent their contracting the
deadly malady of immorality which
the above correspondent insinuates as
burdening the air in the vicinity of
Leary. We admit tliafc^there is a good
deal of indifference iu our midst to
that religion which blesses the name
of Jesus. But we deny that in our
town, religion is below par, or that tlie
moral tone of its citizens is inferior
to any town in Georgia of its size, and
which is burthened with the sale of
liquor. In proportion to its population,
we assert that there is as much virtue
and honesty "here as there is centered
in any town in the State. The day in
question, by which the above named
gentleman endeavors - to reflect so un
kindly npon our town, was one of the
coldest of the recent cold spell. A fire
had been kindled by a colored boy di
rectly in front of a huckster stand
which he was looking after, because
the room was unprovided with a chim
ney, and for convenience and comfort,
it was the only means by w’hieh he
could attend to his. business without
rendering himself liable to prostration
from tbe excessive cold. A number of
gentlemen in the pursuit of their voca
tions, in passing to and fro, had stop
ped to enjoy, the warmth w'hich this
fire afforded. Mr. Rives here got his
idea of Leary’s great immorality. As
to the editor, we admit that be*is but
mortal, and if there is an immoral man
in the community, the editor of the
Courier is he. Blit he believes in hon
esty and charity, and charges the writ
er of the above article as being desti
tute of both, in the slanderous article
he has seen fit to dispense. As to the
editor of tills paper,-we are free and
candid enough to admit that our life Is
not what it should he from a moral
standpoint; bnt were we to be thrown
among a people, we would never em
brace their kindness and hospitality to
us in a letter which also carried within
its poisoned compass, hypocrisy and
slander.

The Genuine Tar-Heel Kies*
Wilson (S. C.) Ifirror.
Up the perfume-swept avenue of
love and under the roseate archway of
Hymen they had passed into the joy-lit
realms of that higher and holier exist
ence where soul meets soul on limpid
waves of ecstatic feeling, and hearts
touch hearts through the blended chan
nel of lips in rapture linked. They had
just been made man and wife and their
souls must meet and “swap a swap” of
labial endearment. And now, how
ean we describe that oscnlatoiy per
formance? It was not a spasmodic
kiss, like a stopper flyingoutofacliam-
pagne bottle; or a soctionary kiss, like
a cow pulling her foot ont of the mire;
neither was it one of those long, lin
gering, languishing kisses, which lov
ers give when hid by clustering vines
from the glance of the moonbeams.
Xo, none of these, but it was, to be al
literative, a kind of a slunebwise, slan-
tindicular, sonp-suppiug, sop-sipping
meeting of the lips, which went for the
whole hog of endearment or nope; and
that is the way two hearts began to
beat as one.
