Dh. Havgood has stated liis opinion
very crisply and succinctly in regard
to Dr. Felton’s speech on the Ktiilroad
Commission bill. He says “it was in
cendiary, it was uncalled for, it was
impolitic and utterly unchristian, not
to speak* of its untruth.” Dr. Hay-
good had better look out. If Mrs. Fel
ton and the Doctor get after him they
will make the fur fly.

The Americus Decortler and the
Buena Vista Clipper want Major
Black to retain his office of postmaster
on purely personal grounds, his merits
as a man, not as a politician. This
is good Mugwump doctrine. They,
too, think tlie Republicans ought to be
kept in office upon their personal
merits, and not lip discharged for polit
ical reasons. A queor idea of reform
to retain in office those not in sympa
thy with the President, nor the Demo
cratic party. The Mugwumps said
this was the way to sustain Mr. Cleve
land, and voted against the New York
Democracy because in its platform it
refused to endorse such a suicidal
policy, Tlie victory of Mr* Jiui was
proof that the Democrats repudiated
the Mugwumpian idea of civil service.

Corresponds With a Schoolmate
—The -Schoolmate Dies and Her
Brother Answers the Letter—A
Correspondence Ensues—Etc.
Atlanta Constitution.
The most romantic marriage of tlie
season occurred in Atlanta yesterday
morning.
The contracting parties were Miss
Xettie Keasley, a beautiful and accom
plished Chicago lady, and Mr. M. C. D.
Lyle, a highly respected and staunch
merchant of Morristown, Tenn.
The bride and groom met for the
first time only twenty-four hoars pre
vious to their marriage.
They have known of one another,
however for tlie past five years, and
have been conducting an animated cor-
correspondence for the last two years.
Five years ago Miss Keasley Jived in
Atlanta and while her home was in this
city she went to Atiieus, Tenn., to be
educated at one of the female colleges.
While at college she met Miss Alice
Lyle, a sister of the gentleman she
marri *d yesterday. The young ladies
were of an age and soon became fast
friend*. They occupied the same
room, perused the same books, gave
their time to tlie same studies, and en
joyed the same thought*. Whenever
Mi*s Keasley received a letter from her
Atlanta home Miss Lyle was made ac
quainted with its contents, and when
AVss L\ ie heard from her Tennessee
liomcMis* Keasley read the letter. Tims
hand in nand ami with hearts entwin
ed they went through school. Finally
graduation day came and Lheu tlie la
dies parted with tears and promises of
a life-long correspondence. Miss Lyle
went to tier home in Morristown and
Miss Keasley came back to Atlanta.
When the ladies parted each one knew
as much about the other’s family as if
they had lived side hy side. Miss Lyle
knew of Miss Keasley’s sister, and Miss
Keasley knew of Miss Lyle’s brother.
After leaving school the young la
dies kept tip a tegular correspondence.
Three years ago Miss Keasley’s parents
left Atlanta lor Chicago, and about the
same time Mi** Lyle.left home to go to
A fidea as a missionary. The change of
homes, however, did not chauge the
friends, and from her Chicago home
Mi*s Kea>lcy wrote to Miss Lyle in Af
rica, and Mis* Lyle answered. Finally
| Miss Keasley’s letters from her friend
Middenly cea.-ed. She w rote again and
again, but no reply cauie from the lady
inis.'ionary; and thinking that her
friend had changed her postolfice, she
wrote to Mr. M. t;. D. Lyle, asking
where his sister could be addressed.
About the same time that Mr. Lyle
received Miss KeasleyV letter he re
ceived out* from Africa announcing the i
I Boston Herald.
It was a hard case for the young
fellow who took a pair of trousers to a
Lewiston dyer the other day to be
dyed.
“Dye ’em scarlet,” said he in a posi
tive tone of voice as he opened the
bundle and disclosed a pairof trousers.
“A good, warm, bright scarlet, under
stand. I’ll call for ’em Thursday.’
The artist in dyes looked tlie trousers
over and repeated in a surprised tone
of voice, interrogatively the closing
words of his customer. “A warm,
bright scarlet,” to which his customer
nodded asseut, flung the trousers over
the clothesline, jotted it down in his
book as follows: “One p’r pants—
dyed—warm, bright scarlet—to be
done Thursda}' afternoon, sure,” and
looking up at his customer said nautic-
ally, “Aye, aye, sir! Cali around
Thursday and you shall have ’em,”-
and tiieu suspended ids work in order
to watch the young fellow, as he went
out, wondering whether the youug
fellow’s mother wanted the trousers
for a rag rug or whether the young
man was going to parade as grand
Panjandrum at the next meeting of
the lodge.
lie dyed the trousers scarlet, how
ever, according to directions. They
took a lieatitiuil scarlet. TVey were
as brigiit as the headlight on a locomo
tive.. When he liuug them on the
line, the neighbors on Canal street
began to pack their goods to move
away from the suiail-pox.
The dye pot never did a better job.
The trousers actually lighted the shop
in the c\etiing alter tin: lights were
out. They glowed like an ujmhi fire.
Xo drum-major's trousers ever touch
ed them for warmth of line. They
were admiringly laid away to await
tlie coming of their owner.
Thursday afternoon, prompt on tlie
hour, he came. “Yes, sir; all done,”
was the reply, as the dye-pot artist
moved toward the wardrobe room
door. “They’ve been done a day or
two. But, say,” continued the dyer,
“I don’t know as it’s any of my busi
ness, but I’d like to ask you a ques
tion. You ain’t going to wear those
trousers regularly, are you? It ain’t
any affair of mine, but if 1 was you 1
wouldn’t! I wvuld lie particular and
not wear ’em to any country fairs, if I
was yon. You might get a mad bull
after you, and tlie way a mad ball
would rip the seat out of them trousers
would surprise you; now, it would,
sure. Of course, scarlet is a rich color,
and w arm and bright, and certainly
very cheerful looking on the street,
but, if I was you, I’d draw tlie line at
cattle shows.” Aud with this, the
pants were flung out on the counter.
They looked like a comet with two
tails, ns they settled down on tlie coun
ter. The young fellow jumped two
feet. They evidently surprised him.

This letter provoked one of condolence
to Mr. I.yle aud his aged mother, from
Miss Keasley. Several * weeks after
this letter of condolence had been re
ceived by the Lyle family the mission
ary’s trunk was returned from Africa.
In that trunk were found Miss Keas-
Jessnp. “Xo, I will not strike my foe,! ley’s letters co Miss Lyle. The letters
a prisoner; but here is ray hand in were full of love and affection, and
friendship.” when Mr. Lyle had read them he wrote
“Xo,” said Xehemahla, “you put your Miss Keasley. His letter was full of
sword in its pocket, you put your hand love for his sister, who died in Africa,
in its pocket: do uo r let it reach out to
blind me or take my hand. 1 am the
white man’s enemy; his friendship 1

fatal to the red man. I have lived and
i will die the white man’s enemy. I

more. My tongue is not forked like
yours. My heart has no lies to make
it speak to deceive. .Stlke! ami let me
go to the happy huntiug-rgronnds
where all my people are,”
Xehemathla then threw himself
prone upon the earth, kissed it, pressed
it to his bosom, rose up, and seem pre
pared for the fate which he expected.
REJECTS KINDNESS.
Xehemathla, with his tribe, was
sent to the Indian Territory. At Xcw
Orleans the steamer chartered to take
them to Fort Smith, did not arrive at
the levee at the time appointed, and
they, with their \yoirjen and ohil‘U*».
were exposed upon the levee to the
inclemencies of rain and cold.
Many propositions were made to
shelter them, but Xehemathla said:
“Xo, I am the enemy of the white
man. I ask and ’will accept nothing
at his hands. I and my people are
the children of the woods. The Great
Spirit gave them to us, and He gave
us tlie power to endure the cold and
the rain. The clouds arc Mis, and
they are shelter and 'varmth enough
for us. J|e will not deceive or rob us.
The white man is faithless; with two
tongues lie speaks; like the snake, he
shows these before he bites. Xever
again shall the white man’s house
open for me, or the white man’s roof

Courtesy in Mexico.
Cor. Boston Herald.
One trait of the Mexican character
deserving of all praise is the national
love for children. Mexico is the child
ren’s paradise. Children are loved and
petted in public to an extent that
mqkes an American* list*! tq thp stall'd
ways of his own country people, open
his eyes in astonishment and pleasure.
There is no affectation iu tlie matter.
A little child is the pet of the people.
A baby is every one’s admiration, and
here you may see fathers out walking
with their children for the pleasure of
the children’s company. 111 shops and
all places where people meet children
are petted, and a baby in a shop is
seized and caressed by ;pi ariqy of
male admireps.'^
Tlie poultry of tbp young fads in
another teiftirfe to be noted, 4 group
of lnds from 7 to 13 will meet, and
each boy will decorously lift his hat
aud salutation of extreme courtesy
will be changed, and then comes the
boyish chatter, the fun and the laugh
ter tlie same as anywhere. Boys here
treat their elders with respect. An
old man or .woman is not the butt of
the youth of Mexico; rather for the
old people is reserved the shadiest seat
under tlie trees in the parks and the
best scats in the family sala. ~

aud without any thought of the conse
quence Miss Keasley answered it. This
was the opening a correspondence
twenty months ago. At first the let
ters were essays upon the dead. Then
they began to discuss affairs of every
day. Fiually the letters indicated iv
warm friendship, which ripened Into
love, They exchanged photographs,
and then became engaged. Tlie wed
ding day was set for November 4, in
Atlanta,and about two weeks ago Miss
Keasley reached this city.
She made Atlanta the’ place because
she wanted to see her Atlanta friends
before marrying. Miss Keasley stop
ped with Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Jacox,
at 130 Spring street, and here she
awaited the coiuiug of the gentleman
to whom she had given her heart and
promised her hand. Day before yes
terday morning Mr, Lyle reached
Atlanta* Ho wont to th© Kimball
whence he sent a note to Miss Keasey
telling her that he would call at ten, if
agreeable to her. Miss Keasley an
swered and at the appointed hour Mr.
Lyle called. He rang the doorbell
aud was shown into the parlor. Miss
Keasey was there to receive him and
as he walked iu she advanced and for
the first time in life they stood face to
face. For a few seconds they looked
close]? at each other and then Mr.
Lyle said \
“Are you disappointed ?'
“Yes,** she auswered.
disappointed ?”
‘Yes. How are you disappointed ?”
he a«ked.
“Oh, I expected to find an old gray-
haired gentleman. But I don’t. How
are you disappointed?” she asked*
“Agreeably, most agreeably, I ex
pected to find a pretty, aweet lady,
and l have found an augel.”
Then they talked aud talked, and
the more they talked tlie better they
were pleased! Mr. Lyle informed
Miss Keasley that it was uot too late
to back down if she was disappointed,
but she declined, and they parted.
Yesterday morning Mr. Lyle called at
the young lady’s place, and the Bov.
Dr. Eddy married them. At noon
they left fur Morristown.
Mr. Lyle is a fine looking, black
haired, black eyed gentleman of thirty
years.. He is a prosperous merchant.
His bride is a beautiful lady of twen
ty, and the daughter of a Chicago tea
merchant.

Optcasf London.
Much excitement has been made by
reports recently published on the vile
condition of the slums of London. In
one cellar was found a family consist
ing of a man sick with siuall-pox, his
dying wife, three half naked and dirty
children, and one pig. In some parts
there is one gin-mill to every hundred
persons. What defilement! Yet cor
responding impuritios often defile the
human blood. They can be cost out
by Brown’s Iron Bitters, the great
strengthener and purifier. Mr. B. J.
Strange, of Stark Lake, Florida, says,
“Brown’s Irou Bitters is the-best blood
purifier I ever tried. It gives all the
satisfaction a man can want.”

It seems that tlie old idea that the
eyes of a murdered person retains after
death tlie image ol the murderer stil)

murdered anil robbed.
The river Susquehanna is said to
have received its name in this way:
An Indian standing 011 oue side of the
bank called across to the other,
“Susque,” which means “Are yon
there?” His friend replied, “Hanna,”
which interpreted means, “I am here.”
A white man standing near heard it
and named the river accordingly.
The fisheries ot Newfoundland ap
pear to be decreasing. .Statistics show
that in 1815 a vastly larger quantity of
codfish was caught thau in 1880, and
this, too, in tlie fare of the fact that

To bees as well as men, it seems,
whiskey is demoralizing. An exchange

the bees pay frequent visits to the still,

“First Gentleman off Europe*’?
Chicago Times.
George IV, is still frequently men
tioned as the “first gentleman of Eu
rope,” but it is now pretty generally
understood that lie was never at any
timo in his careeer a gentleman. A re
cent volume of memoirs describes this
roj'al cur as a beastly personage. The
last year of his life is thns pictured:
For years the king, unnerved by ex
cesses of all kinds, suffered from vari
ous maladies, gout, dropsy, asthma,
ossification of tlie heart, general debil
ity, and frequently swooning fits. He
could no longer walk alone. A special
machine was devised to enable him to
mount a harao. Aroliingchair brought
his majesty up a gently rising incline
to a platform. From it the euormous-
ly-swollen colossus, with the thin ema
ciated legs—which, so it was said, were
bolstered up and stiffened by six pairs
of stockings and high-lacing boots—was
lifted up by a crane, softly lowered into
the saddle, and now the ride down the
front could begin.
“The nervous system) of the king* had
become so weakened that he drank
brandy orTum without ceasing, often
eleven large glasses a day, besides
stroug whisky punch, just to keep him
self alive. In January r 1830, Christian
Stock mar brought us the news that the
king bad lost the sight of both eyes,
and was furthermore, perpetually
drunk, so as to be invisible to every
body.”
Southern Girls Beware.
Aagusta News.
Northern swindlers are fully aware
of the fact that all over tlie South,
there arc hundreds of young 1 allies,
who were once in afflueuce, but now
reduced to the necessity of working, iu
order to procure many comforts and
conveniences which are otherwise de
nied them. Hence our uewspapers
are flooded with flaming advertise
ments, and our mails crowded with cir
culars offering, pleasant, easy and hon
orable employment at home—with
most enticing high wages, &e. The
golden bait is so captivating that the
victims form legions.
As one of this unfortunate, swin
dled class, let me warn my sisters
against all these plausible traps, and
against tlie “so ealled Home Manufac

hesitatingly denounce au outrageous

A Man at tbe Depot With Nine

Atlanta Capitol.
“Look in the gents’ waiting room if
yon want to see a strange sight,” re
marked Officer Porter, at the Union
Depot, to a Capitol reporter this morn
ing.
The reporter stepped into tlie wait
ing room and saw the floor literally
crawling with babies. Two were under
the table; one scratching the wall,
two crying over a dirty stick of candy;
one eating tlie mohair from a seat
cushion; two sucking their tuuibs, and
one little fellow lying on his back with
his toes In his mouth. The oldest ap
peared to be about six years of age.
and the owner of the queer menagerie
was lying on a lounge calmly snoring
the happy hours away. Every one of
the babies bad white hair resembling
BALLS OF TOW,
and wore a scarcity of raiment that
bordered ou what might be decidedly
pronounced very light summer wear,
i'heir faces were streaked with dirt
that had beeu parted by the downward
course of tears, and their hair would
have made any respectable comb shud
der at the job before it. The Creator
of the new tribe ot J udali was awak
ened, and the reporter asked:
“These all yours?”
“Yes, siree,” the last dratted one of
them,” he replied as he took nearly a
half plug of tobacco in his mouth.
“Yes, sir, they are all mine. The old
est is a little* over six years of age.
You see three pair of ’em are twins.”
The man with the strange family
said his name was George C. Heu-
lricks, and he was on his way to his
>Id home iu Coweta county, near Xew-
nan.
HE HAD BEES TO ARKANSAS
and had grown tired of a State where
tnooushiuing was the most profitable
business. Said he:
“Georgia is, after all, the greatest
State in the Uniou. I used to live near
Xewnan, and was happy and content

and sold out lock, stock aud barrel and
moved to Ozark iu the land of the

Franklin county, and there settled
down to a systematic way of starving
to death. Children, as you can see,
came thick aud fast. One thing is cer
tain, Arkansas is a plagued good coun
try In which to raise children, but it’s
about all you can raise. My wife
died about three months ago, aud then
I made up my mind to
RETURN TO OLD GEORGIA,

Traveler. There ain’t either fun or
money in it. If I can just get settled
in old Coweta county again, the first
man that says Arkansas to me had bet
ter look sharp, tor I’ll come mighty
nigh making him walk over my dead
body.”
Two of the children got into a hair
pulling match, anil the old man made
a drive at the entire band and placed
them in a row' on one of the benches.

reporter.

about tlie matter, she read over the

A pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume in

Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Boyal Baking

•le’s circus left the city last night
twelve o’clock:.
The tent will be pitched in Greens-
(boro to-day.
The circus remained in Atlanta
Sunday not because Mr. Cole wanted
to remain, bat because he was com
pelled to do so. The laws of the State
prohibit excursion or otiier trains run
ning on Sunday, except such trains as
arrive and depart on a schedule.
The circus left four hands in Atlan
ta and the probabilities are that it car
ried away a dozen boys. Two of the
canvass hands are here in the hospitaL
They have been wrestling with the
chills and fever for some time past,
and on Saturday were unable to move
hand or foot. That night they remain
ed at police headquarters and yester
day they were taken to the hospital.
John Callahan, another one of the
employes, is in the city prison. Yes
terday morning about four o’clock
Callahan knocked a glass in the Van
Crawford corner to fragments, and
was quickly run in by Patrolmen
Abbott and Patterson. This morning
Callahan will stand up in police court
and enter a plea to the charge of drunk
and disorderly conduct.
Yesterday afternoon, between 2
o’clock and eleven last night no less
than five fathers visited police head
quarters to report the disappearance of
their sons. The missing boys vary
in age from seven to twelve years and
in every instance the father suspects
tbat-his son has gone off with the cir
cus. Some of these boys left home
Saturday morning and have not been
seen siuce, while some left yesterday.
One man stated that his son, aged
nine years was extremely active and
that he bad been working on the bar
and turning somersaults for several
months.
