collar, which was intended to form
raised letters upon the peripheries of
all United States coins. After this

and adjusted to the enormous toggled
silver coinage press of the mint. For
days and weeks Col. Snowden perse

most disheartening, for he found it a
nearly impossible task to adjust the
opening and shutting of the bisected
collar to the rapid motion of the dies.
But a Huai experimental test was
made, and it was a perfect success.
Heaps of round silver pieces, as smooth
as ice and as glistening as dewdrops,
were placed in a tall hollow tube at?
the outer edge of the press. These
pieces were embryo silver dollars.
With mathematical exactness all the

were adjusted *to grasp the first round

put in full speed. The silver dollars
were stamped and lettered by the new
collar, and began to pour into the tray

of precious metal was allowed to con

minutes, when the coining press was
stopped and the dollars were examin

cause the lines upon their edges are

The overthrow of tlie Gladstone

of a more vigorous policy in the

threat to Russia even In that fact.
When one coines to seriously re

A Sansafe Story.
Liverpool Courier.
A minister in one of our orthodox
churches, while on his way to preach
a funeral sermon in the country,called
to see one of his members, an old lady,
who had just been making sausages,
and as sbe felt very proud of them in
sisted on the minister taking some of
the links home to his family. After
wrapping the sausages in a cloth the
minister carefully placed the bundle in
the pocket of his great coat. Thus
equipped, he started for the funeral.
While attending the solemn ceremo
nies of the grave some hungry dogs
scented the sausages, and were not
long in tracking them to the pocket of
the good mau’s overcoat. Of course
this was a great aunoyance, and he
was several times under the necessity
of kicking the whelps away. The ob
sequies of the grave completed, the
minister and the congregation repaired
to the church, where the funeral dis
course-’was to be preached. After tfie
sermon was finished the minister halt
ed to make some remarks to his con
gregation, when a brother who wished
to have ah appointment given out, as
cended the stairs of the pulpit aqd
gave the minister’s coat a hitch to get
his attention. The divine, thinking a
dog having designs upon his pocket,
raised his foot, gave-a sadden kick,
and sent the good brother sprawling
down the steps. “Yon will excuse
me, brethren and sisters,” said the
minister confusedly, and without look
ing at the work he ted just clone, “for
1 could not avoid it. 1 have sausages
in my pocket, and that dog has been
trying to grab them ever since became
upon the premises!”
Hugo’s Punisbment for Baxaine.
From the Pari# American Register.
All his life loug Victor Hugo has
protested against the penalty of death.
In his novels, in his speeches, in his
letters, in France, in England, every
where he has combated the law of
blood, and raised his voice against tlie
gibbet and the scaffold. One night, at
his house, this question was discussed
on the occasion of the commutation of
the sentence of Bazaine into perpetual
imprisonment. Several politicians who
were present blamed this commuta
tion and maintained that no one had
ever better deserved death than Ba-
zaiue. “No,” said Victor Hugo, “1
would not have loaded chassepots for
him; but if 1 had been President of
the Council of War this is what I
should have done. I should have con
voked to the Champ de Mars the Xa-
horn a Democrat, but if you make
JfewRiar *t. fw
tuary laws and friendship to liquor,
then I am anything but a Democrat.
[Great cheering.] After all, tills thing
of politics is just a question of the
“ins” and tlie “outs.” If tlie Radi
cals get iu four years from now’ thev
will adopt tlie good old Democratic
cry, “Turn the rascals out.” [Laugh
ter.] Some fellows say don’t mix pol
itics aud religion. When you hear a
fellow talk tliat way you may know
he hasn’t got any religion to mix.
[Laughter.] I would mix religion
with polities, but not politics with re
ligion. A little religion will help pol
itics. It will make it clean and decent.
[Laughter.] We want truth, justice
and temperance mixed with politics in
this State. [Applause.] 1 spoke to
the Legislature of Tennessee on this
subject the other day. They arc talk
ing about a constitutional amendment
ou the liquor question up there. We
ttaut this question cleared up beyond
the reach of these little cross-roads
judges who hop up every nowand then
and say something is unconstitutional,
[laughter.] We want to do away
with such judges and put decent men
of brains and character in their places.
You can’t reform a State with a swill
tub for Governor and a lot of old wash
tubs sitting ou the bench. [Applause
and laughter.] You can’t reform a
State until you semi good meii to the
Legislature. Some inen come to every

S0b§ w*ho are your pride and your
country’s hope, will give your enthu
siasm, your brains, and your- money
into this cause, the day will soon come
when a mother emu kiss her tioy when
he leaves her side in the morning and
know that he is safe. [Applause.] I
want to see the good people of Atlanta
go to the polls and work as they did in
Cartersville and tills blightiug curse

whisky out of evefy county in this

not long ago. I have been a poor man

“But there are no eharges against

RIOTING IN MAINE.
A Mob Beients tbe Euforcemen
the Prohibition Lay.
Spring vale, 31 e,, June 12.—The
trouble which lias been brewing for
some time over the enforcement of the
prohibitory law culminated last uight
in the organization of a mob, armed
with revolvers and stones attacks upon
a number of houses, in which windows
were smashed and other damage was
done, 'i’he gang went to the house of
Wnr. n. Frost, about a quarter of a
mile from the village, and sent a show
er of rocks through the wiudows, ac
companied by a volley .of bullets from
revolvers. They fired in reckless dis
regard of the sleeping family within.
Taking the direct road to the village,
the mob next stopped at the house of
Jno. W. Frost, a trial justice. Here
shots were fired into the house, wheco.
women, children and au old man were
sleeping. Fortunately no one was
hurt, but the windows were demolish
ed. At the house of G. H. Roberts,
the windows were smashed and furni
ture damaged. The residence of
Wilson Cheny, a prominent clothing
dealer, was also treated to a volley of
rocks. The final effort of the mob was
made agajnst the office of the Adrocate.
The editor of this paper sleeps in his
office. A perfect fusiladc was kept up,
and bullets rained into the room. The
editor’s only offense had been the pub
lication, without comraeut, of the
liquor t *ials. But what seemed a mir
acle lie escaped injury. The rioters
then disbanded.

San Francisco Call.
A church congress held in Hartford
discussed the relation of the secular
press to the churches. One of the
speakers thought the usefulness of the
secular press impaired by the fact that
pecuniary profit was the primary ob
ject of their management. This gen
tleman did not think that newspapers
could become a rejuvinating force un
til they were able to “face a frowning
world and a waning subscription list.”
There Is much reason to apprehend
that this clergyman has not read his
tory intelligently. It was not the pul
pit which aligned the people of the
country against slavery. A great sec
ular daily, which was* conducted pri
marily for pecuniary profit simply be
cause the proprietor had no means
apart from his paper, v a; the fore
most agency in that work. There
were weekly papers working to the
same end, and in all eases they de
pended upon tlie public for support.
The real dangerous paper would be
one that was not conducted primarily
for pecuniary profit’. Such a paper,
relying for support on revenue derived
from other sources, might advocate
measures inimical to the public. Such
a paper could not become great
. . „reat by
any bossible expenditure of money!

and lie must either sell a very Inferior
grade of iiquorat a .very high priee,
or make up his Josses ou tliat, on other
things. Take one Instance: A
starts out with $400 capital (and most
of these concerns generally have less)
he invests $105 in license, and half tbe
balance in whiskey. Don’t you see, to
make any tliiug, lie will have to sell at
least four times his capital, and if he

fined, as all of them could Ik*, every
time lie violated the law by selling to
niiuors or intoxicated persons, there
would be no money in it for him. But
say you, “if such is the case why do so
many persist in selling it?” One rea
son, they think it draws trade; an
other, and greater reason with them,
after a man takes his third glass he
feels so rich he will spen I more money
for other things, and probably gamble
with the proprietor ami throw away
his money, when his wife and child
ren are doing without food. I do
know of such eases not over a hundred
miles from where l write. But what
profit is it to the balance of the com
munity? Simply this, it makes our
labor worthless, our husbands and

presence? Yours,

Xeics and Advertiser:
If benefitting tlieir race be their ob
ject, some of our philanthropes err
most lamentably. Some time since,
during the absence of a gentleman of
this neighborhood from home, a black
ruffiau attempted to murder a woman,
and being remonstrated with by the
gentleman’s wife he insulted her'by
cursing and saying that he would do
as he pleased, and using language
that would disgrace one to repeat.
Upon the return of the gentleman he
-wore out a warrant against the ne
gro, and lie was committed to jail
mder a $500 bond, bnt notwithstand
ing the gentleman wrote a letter to the
sheriff, givihg the negro’s character,
and the contents of the letter was
given a certain philanthrope, his love
for grieved humanity, as exhibited in
the person of the scoundrel, and his
love for working his farm cheaply, led
him to go on bis bond, and he is now
at large not twenty miles from this
place, and the ladies of our community
fear to leave or be left at home alone.
And yet this man, the friend to hu
manity, makes no effort to catch him
only at court times for fear his bond
will be forfeited, as it should be. We
have come to such a pass that no mat
ter what crime a negro may commit,
if it be bailable this man will take
him out, and could we be blamed
were this scoundrel, George Brown, to
return and commit a nameless crime,
for holding his bondsman equally
guilty with himself? This is not
written with any enmity towards Mr.
Boyt, but as tlie sense of this commun
ity, and as a protest against his con
tinuing his present course towards our
criminal class. Only last week he
took out an ex-convict, under a $300
bond for hog stealing, and we are get
ting tired of it, and have reached the
point where forbearance has ceased to
be a virtue. Yours,
West Dougherty’.

U for
VIOLATING REVENUE LAWS.
Dealer* Arrented for Doing Bail-
nen Without Stamp.
Savnnnah Newc.
Some little stir has lieeu created
among a few of the tobacco and liquor
dealers "who delayed paying the inter
nal revenue tax too long. The law
requires that the taxes shall lie paid on
or before May 1 by all in business on
that day. For various reasons the stat
ute has not always been strictly com
plied with, even by those who had no
intention of defrauding tlie govern
ment.
As stated by Collector Crenshaw in
a letter pul fished in the Xens a few
mornings ago, it jia.< not been custom
ary to prosecute theie cases, provided
the taxes were paid within a reason
able time. It not infrequently hap
pens that the taxes are not paid until
late in May or even in June. This
year all special tax stamps were called
in on May 50. A f$\v days later war
rants were served by United States de
puty marshals upou a mini her of deal
ers in Savannah. When taken before
United States Commissioner Locke it
was stated that one of the parties had
applied at the office in this city for to
bacco tax stamps, but there either was.
noneat the office or the deputy was not
in. The others made similar statements,
and all said that they had forwarded
applications to Atlanta before their
arrest. Mr. Dun woody corroborated
some of the statements in regard to not
having stamps in the office when some
of the applicants call. He is compell
ed to be out canvassing his district
jmich of the time, and could not al
ways be at the office. Another had
received his stamps liefore the deputy
marshal went after him, bnt he did not
know it until after he had been before
the Commissioner.
Each was required to give bond to
appear before the court at the next
term. Under the circumstances it
may be that prosecution will not be
pushed in these cases. There are still
a number of dealers who have not paid
the tax for the ensuing year. All of
these are lieable to fine* and imprison
ment, and the longer they delay the
greater is the risk assumed, as it is un
derstood that Collector Crenshaw’ is
about to issue a stringeut order in re- t
gard to these delinquents.

“I remember,” said a Detroit boy to
his Sunday-school teacher, “you told

when angry.”
“Yes; well. I’m "lad to hear it. It
cooled your anger, didn’t it?”
“You see, a boy came into our alley
aud made faces at me, and dared me
to fight. I was goin" with him. "He
was bigger’n me, and I’d have got pul

and began to count.”
“And you didn’t fight?”
“No, ma’am. Just as I got to forty-

the why he licked that boy would
have made your mouth water. I
was going to count fifty and then
run.”

COLQUITT COUNTY.
Crop*—Building Boom—Etc.
Xewsand Advertiser: *
As it has beeq some time since J have
seen any communication from this
section of the county in your paper I
have concluded to give you a few lines.
The prospect for a large corn crop
was never more encouraging. Cotton
is a little later than usual, but looks
vigorous and healthy, and the stand is
very good. The oat crop is not so
good, a little below the average, blit
we have a fine harvesting season.
All other crops, generally, good.
Col. A. D. Patterson, ex-Clerk of
Superior Court, has erected a saw and
grist mill at 3Ioultrie. He is doing
fine business—both sawing and grind
ing. He expects to connect a gin and
thrash to his mill at an early date.
It is the supposition that Moultrie and
the vicinity around will soon be on a
building boom. 3Ir. M..M. Blanton,
our worthy County Treasurer and
Postmaster at Moultrie, has the con*
tract of painting the new court house,
and the work is progressing rapidly.
By the way, Mr. Blanton has the finest
field of oats In this section. He puts
one hundred pounds of guano to the
acre. It pays to put guano tinder
oats. He also has a fine young or
chard of LeConte pears near 3Ioultrie.
Mr. W. P. Edwards has beat every
one of his neighbors raising Irish pota
toes. He has them as large as goose
eggs.
How about the free bridge at Al
bany? It certainly Isn’t dead. We
people down this way want a free pass
over. Albany would get a great deal
more trade east of the river by having
a free bridge.
Sheep shearing is about over. As
usual, some complaint is heard in the
land about a short turnout of both
sheep and clip. Albany is Colquitt’s
wool aud cotton market, and with a
free bridge, several hundred bales
uiore would find their way to that
market annually.
For several weeks the News and
Advertiser lias failed to reach
3Ioultrie until the Monday after being
published. It used to reach this place
on Saturday nights, and It would
prove a great source of convenience
to its many subscribers, some who
live several miles from the office, who
are there only on Saturdays, and
would like to have it to read on Sun
day. They know they will get all the
local and general news of the State
fresh, and when they fail to get it they
are somewhat disappointed. Our
worthy friend, Capt. Jennings, prom
ised that he would have the News and-
Advertiser to leave the office on Fri
day and go by way of Thomasvilie and
reach Moultrie on Saturday eveniug.
The News and Advertiser, being
the official organ of this county, is
highly appreciated by all its readers
down here, aud they are many. Lang
may it live and prosper. You wifi
hear from me again soon.

The New English Cabinet.
New York World.
The^Queen has accepted Mr. Glad
stone’s resignation and summoned the
Marquis of Salisbury for the purpose
of intrusting to him the formrtion of a
new Ministry. This sets at rest all the
foolish stories to the effect that the
Queen was going to disregard the con
stitutional-course and to ask Mr. Glad
stone to remain in power.
4 change in 31inisters takes place in
England wheu tbe Cabinet is in a mi
nority in Parliment on any great gov
ernment measure, and is henced sup
posed to be in a minority among tbe
people whom the House ot Commons
represents. 3Ir. Gladstone was de
feated on the important question of
how to raise the money for the de
ficiencies of revenue growing out of the
recent troubles in the Soudan and Af
ghanistan, and if the Gladstone Cabi
net should retain powerit would either
have to change its tax policy or the
House of Commons would be coerced
into accepting the budget it has once
nto accepting t
pjectedj
There has neA
nv r
doubt what course would be pursued.
The Conservatives already have a ma
jority for such a financial policy as
they will propose in lien of the Glad
stone budget, and they can dissolve
Parliament after the budget has been
passed. The Irish members are not
likely, as the cable reports, to insist
upon any definite Irish policy from the
new Ministry, because they cannot tell
bow parties will stand in the new Par
liament. It will be quite enough for
them that the Conservatives will leave
Irish matters alone for the present,
which means the expiration of tlie
Coercion law. After the elections, if
they should bold a balance of power,
they will be able to force the Conserva
tives into an acceptable Irish policy or
to overthrow the Ministry by uniting
with the Liberals.

Temperance and Politics In Geor
gia.
Sanannah News.
One question which the State Tem
perance Convention at Atlanta settled
for the present is, whether it would be
advisable for the temperance people to
nominate candidates for State officers
to be voted for at the next State elec
tion. The convention decided, and
wisely, against niakiqg nominations.
The temperance people now claim
102 of tlie 137 counties of the State and
if they are as strong as they appear to
lie, it will not be a very difficult tiling
to get control of all the counties.
But it is by no meansa»rtain that all
of those who voted for restricting or
prohibiting the liqnor traffic iu the 102
temperance counties could be depend
ed upon to vote a temperance ticket at
a State election. In fact, it is doubt
ful if oue-lialf of those who helped the
temperance movement in the temper
ance counties would vote for temper
ance candidates for State offices.
Ail mitring that a temperance ticket
would be beaten, it is evident that the
temperance cause would suffer great
damage from defeat. By making tem
perance an issue in politics an opposi
tion to it would be aroused that might
prove to be sufficiently strong to over
throw it even in the counties where it
is no*v strongly entrenched. It is not
to be expected that Democrats and Re
publicans would abandon their own
parties, in any considerable numbers
to promote the interests of a temper
ance party even if tlie majority of
them were favorably Inclined to the
COLUMN.
