cessation of this sort of thing, now'
that the contest is practically decid

It would be well for tbe Guberna

of forces and outside influences upon
any county or set of counties. Such a
move would cheek those‘•innovations'*
which have disgraced this campaign. .

The Atlanta Journal says it was de

kept very quiet. Eugene Bpeer. the

intimation they had that General Gor

It seeius now that the General put
himself into the hands of his friends

Bills Introduced bjr Senators,
Savannah News.
An interesting Washington special
says that at the present session of Con
gress there have been introduced
about 12,000 bills—9,000 in the House
and 3,000 iu the Senate. Not one half
of those introduced have been passed.
In fact, less than 4,000 will have been
passed when the session closes.
It is rather interesting to note the
number and character of the bills in
troduced by the different Senators.
Senator Blair, of New Hampshire,
for instanee, has introduced more
than any other Senator, the number
being 449, w'liile Senator Jones, of
Florida, has uot introduced any. His
colleague, however, Senator Call,
hasn’t been backward about loading
up the calendar. He is responsible tor
120 bills. Senator Sawyer, of Wiscon
sin, lias introduced 448; Senator Sew
ell, of New Jersey, 205; Senator: Van
Wyck, of Nebraska, 201; Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts, 100; Senator
Plumb, of Kansas, 150; Seuator In
galls, of Kansas, 151; Senator Keuna,
of West Virginia, 2; Senator Brown,
of Georgia, 25; Senator Colquitt, oi
Georgia, 15; Seuator Dolpli, of Ore-
gon, 130, and so on through the list.
Seuator Blair has a monopoly of the
bills of cranks, female suffragists, pro-
hibitionions and national savings
banks. * Senator Edmunds confines
himself pretty closely to bills for a
postal telegraph and for the suppres
sion of polygamy. Senator Hampton
directs his attention to bills to keep
Congressmen from meddling with the
patronage. Seuutor Harris* idea ap
pears to l>e to get Congress to remove
the tax from peach brandy, while
Senator Frye looks after the interest
of the New Eugland fishermen. Sen
ator Evarts’ mind appears to run on
Revolutionary monuments and Senator
Spooner looks after the farmers and
railroads. This list seems to indicate
’hat the Senators have their special-’
ties. Doubtless they all seek to secure
legislation on|those subjects with which
they are best accquainted.
A SLAVE TO COCAINE.
Another Physician a Victim to the
Baueful Draf.
Cincinnati, July 3.—For some time
past tne peculiar actions of Dr. J. W.
Underhill, one of the most prominent
physicians of this city, have excited
the gravest apprehensions among bis
friends. The neighborhood in which
he lives has been almost terrorized by
Ids eccentricities, but liis brother phy
sicians have heretofore refused to state
the exact nature oi his trouble. It is
now developed that Dr. Underhill is a
victim of the cocaine habit, Being the
third authenticated case on record in
the United States. The eminent doctor,
who was twice elected Coroner, and
was for several terms President of the
Cincinnati Board of Education, has
been in poor health for two or three
years. He went to the Burmuda Is
lands in the winter of1884, and return
ed in an improved condition.. While
suffering from luugdisorderthe Doctor

he used immoderately. Upon the sup-

As prohibition in Atlanta will go into
effect to-morrow, the traveling public
feel a deep interest in the probable
action of the proprietors of the hotels
of the city with reference to this mat
ter. With the view of dbtainf ng some
thing reliable as to tbe treatment the
traveling public may expect to receive
at the hands of tbe hotel proprietors ot
the city, a reporter called upon Mr. L.
W. Scoville, of tbe Kimball.
“I see that recently publications hare
appeared in the Constitution as coming
from yon upon this - subject.
What about that?” was asked *Mr.
Scoville. , -
“Nothing that has appeared of late
In the Constitution as to what we hre
going to do was printed by our author

“Mr. Scoville, have you any idea of
attempting to evade the law with ref
erence to selling liquor?”
“Certainly not. I have never hril

What would ypu do in a case where
a party of distinguished guests put up
at your hotel, and any one, or all of
them desired a glass of stimulants?”
“Well in a case like that I would
make a raid on my own, or Mr. Beer-
man’s private jug.”
“Is it not a fact that frequently in
valids stop overiu Atlanta for the pur
pose of getting rest, and that often it is
the case, when it Is necessary that they
should have a little whisky or braudy
and water to revive them from tbe
fatigue of travel?”
“Yes; many instances of that kind
have occurred that are fresh in my
mind, ^particularly wit!* ladies and
children. Only a few nights ago a
family with a sick child came to the
hoteL A physician was called in an«i
a little brandy prescribed. This in
itself shows where the law works an
Injury, as with prohibition, the proper
remedy for the troubles ot the sick
child could not have been procured.”
“Will the saloon be kept open after
the first?”
“Yes; and no charge _will be
perceptible in the appointments of
the saloon, but the face expressions
of some of the visitors to it, may show
a change when they ask for w*hisky
or brandv and are refused. This
change Nnll be more perceptible when
a stranger who is not aware of the fact
that Atlanta has prohibition, walks
into the saloon, is surprised by a re
fusal, curses tne hotel and city out,
and leaves by. the first train.”
“Mr. Scoville, what would be done
in a case where ah old patron of
yours, or any guest of the house,
whether he w*as here for a day or a
month, brought his private supply of
whisky or brandy, anil asked that it
be placed in a refrigerator, to be
served in the shape of mixed drinks
when called for?”
“1 would refer him to the man in
charge of the saloon, who w ill be in
structed to serve these mixed drinks to
any one who furnishes his private
supplies, charging a moderate sum
for services or corkage. Parties who
will speud the summer at tbe Kimball
<url patrons who will be here next
winter, have already written me to
make inquiry as to w hat I wi.l do in
cases of this character, and I have an
swered tlieir letters, telling them that
their private supplies will he mixed
aud swerved as already indicated.”
“For the reasons that you have
given, is it not a difficult matter ;o
conduct a first-class hotel in a prohibi
tion city ?”
“Certainly it is. A hotel cannot be
perfect in all of its appointments with
out being in a positiou to supply guests
with what they call for, and what can
be had at any first-class hotel in the
United States. With Atlanta’s reputa
tion as a progressive, city, it would be
unfortunate for her to be uuable to
offer a complete aud as attractive hotel
facilities as are found in other cities.
Our register almost daily shows names
of prominent capitalists from a dis
tance seeking investments, who make
inquiry at the office for information
that they seek. Many of these
after taking a view of the city and
learning that prohibition is soou to go
into effect, have paid their bills and re
ntal ked to the cashier that owing to
prohibition they preferred wailing
awhile before prospecting farther."
the twolve-year-ohl son of Farmer
Delos Stever, of'Tolirhana, was sent
alter the cows last Monday, after sun
down. He had to go down the road
and through a lane wore ritau half a
mile from the house. ‘When milking
time came the cows had not arrived,
and Farmer Stever. who had just
driveu home from the village, started
toward the pasture iu search of them;
On his way through (lie lane he heard
a terrible belkming over in the pas
ture.
When be reached tbe pasture he saw
the cattle, with their heads add tails
up, and bellowing as though they
were in great distress about Something.
Farmer Stever hurried toward the
spot, yelling *Hairy!” with all his

Harry had told him. A big bear had
come into the field, seized a small calf,

The lad climbed up the tree, and the
cows began to bellow'. When Farmer
Stever rushed iu among the noisy herd
the bear was eating tlie calf as fast as
be could. Farmer Stever excitedly
sprang forward and kicked tue bear in
the side. He regretted it a second
later, for the huugry animal turned
upon him and nearly broke one of his
arms with a blow' from one of his big
paws.- The farmer immediately took
to his heels, and, after growling sav
agely at the farrnei, the bear returued
to his meal.
In a lot adjoining the cow pasture
Farmer Stever kept a ferocious five-
year-old bull away from the rest of
the herd. The bull was pawing up
the earth aud bellowing like a wild
beast when the farmer ran away from
the bear. Every now and then the
bull tried to get over the fence. He
tried to lift tlie top rails off with his
horns, but heavy sioucs had been
placed on them to keep the wind from
blowing the rails away, and the bull
was uuable to move them. Farmer
Stever was trying to think what to do,
when Harry yelled from the tree:
“Pa! Go’n* let the ol* bull out an 1
see’f he won’t go fur the bear.”
The lad’s suggestion struck the
fanner favorably, and he instantly ran
over to tlie fence, threw off tlie stone
and tore off the top rails. The hull
leaped'into the pasture, aud, still liel-
lowdug with rage, ran toward the noisy
herd with his tail in the air and his
head lowered. The cows separated as
tie plunged forward, and gave him a
chance to get at the bear. The moment
tlie bull got a glimpse of the big black
animal he seemed to become wild with
fury. With a terrific roar he rushed at
the bear, struck him square!}* iu the
right side with both horns, and
kuocked him three or four feet away
from the carcass of the calf.
The bear was partially stunned by
the blow, but lie staggered to his feet
and groa .ed with pain just as the bull
came up to hook him again. Tlie bear
undertook to defeud himself, but the
bull gave him nuother tremendous
thump in the ribs, making the blood
run. Then the bear tried to ruu away
from his unexpected and very powerful
antagonist. Bu:the bull followed him
up and gored him till he moaned pite
ously. Harry, up in the tree, had lots
of fun over the encounter, and lustily
applauded the bull. A iniuute later
the bull got the bear down and soon
gored him to death. Then Harry
came down from the loost, aud he and
his father put the bull back in the in
closure aud drove the cows home.
THE CONFEDERATE PREACHER.
How He Prayed for tbe President
Under Compulsion.
St. Lon is Republican.
It is remembered that in 1862 a coun
try preacher somewhere in central
Missouri was notified by the local
militia that he must cease, his treason
able ulterances in the pulpit or be ar
rested*. The preacher demanded a bill
of particulars. He was told in a very
abrupt way that he must pray for the
President, and, to the astonishment of
the militia, he promptly declared his
willingness and intention to comply
with the order. On the following Sun
day morning his little church was
crowded with militiamen and Confed
erate sympathizers, each filled with
half-concealed anxiety for the day’s re
sults. It was a hot day in J une. Out
side the church the horses neighed and
whinned. Over the square wooden
pdlpit tlie hot breezes toyed with the
leaves of a hymn book which had been
opened at the ancient tune of Hear.
In the amen comer sat the officers of
the militia. In the opposite corner
were tlie deacons of the congregation.
The White-haired preacher was hiding
from view behind ttie pulpit longer than
usual that morning, but at last the ser
vices began and a breathless hush fell
upon the assemblage as it solemly knelt
for the prayer upon which the fate of
the^congregation was hanging.
- “O Lord,” -said the preacher, break
ing tlie painful silence which had fol
lowed his introductory of thanks, 4 *bless
position that cocaine
of the opium habit he began to use it,
but it seems to have had a contrary
mid more horrible effect.
The exact time when Dr. Underhill
began the use of cocaine cannot be as
certained, but it certainly dates back
three *»r four months. He is now a
pitiable sight. The dreadful drug has
reduced him in flesh uutil he is & mere
skeleton. The pupils of the eyes are
greatly dilated, and his whole appear
ance is indicative of a mau under in
tense excitement. On several occa
sions during the past two weeks the
unfortunate physician has showu a
disposition to be vindictive when de
prived of his drug. Persuasion has
-been useless, aud coercive measures
were not resorted to ou account of the
high standing of the family aud the
unpleasant notoriety it would give
them. Yesterday the doctor slipped
out of his house while unobserved and
went to a livery stable, where he hired
a buggy and drove toward the country.
Shortly after bis disappearance Mrs.
Underhill left her home iu great alarm,
but could Aud no trace of him. It is
this waiting ‘ congregation. Bless thy
servant who shall addresss them this
day, and may his words be fruitful to
thy kingdom. O Lord, in a special
manner we pray thy richest blessings
upou the president!”
“Amen!” said the kneeling militia
officers, nudging each other violently,
while great drops of perspiration stood
upon the foreheads of tlie deacons.
There was a brie; aud awful pause.
“Lord!”,shouted tbe preacher, fa
miliarly, with sudden aspiration,*‘Thou
k no west whom I mean. 1 mean Jeffer
son Dadis!” ,
Buskin on Debt.
John Ruskin recently wrote a scath
ing article on the impropriety of
church debt. Of all people, says Hi
kin, church people should he the last
to contract a debt for church purposes.
The Augusta Chronicle writes a lengthy
editorial on the subject, from which
we take the following extract:

pealing forth the mellow,
golden notes for weddings; and,again,
the melanchloy tolling of the funeral
bell, giving notice of some poor soul’s
departure to heaven or to hell. In the
long ago, betore the blasting hand of
war was laid upon our fair land, when
all was peace, plenty, and prosperity,
the old bell summoned prince,
pauper aud slave alike to God’s ser
vice.
When the war came the bell rang the
patriots Into arms,and w hile its sounds
were not yet dying amid the echoes,
they marched off to victory, glory,
defeat and death. During lour years
it sounded out a gn<h of delightful
euphony when victory perched upon
our banners, and when freedom seemed
within our very grasp; and then as
disaster and wreck followed, with
what sad aud shivering music did its
tones awake tlie silence of the night.
And ah! as the poor, weary, careworn
soldier, i\s he stood the quiet watches of
picket duty, or lay him down to rest
upon the field of carnage after the
battle, how his thoughts and his heart
flew back homeward, to the mother,
wife, sweetheart and other dear ones,
and to Ihe little white church with its
old graveyard, all embowered by
spreading oaks; aud how in his fancy
or his dreams he beard the sweet wel
come, tremulous voice of the old bell..
Ah!' would he ever hear that voice
.again ? Or would he be swallowed up
lu the w hirlpool of battle, never to see
or hear those idols of his heart again ?
Alas! how many ne’er came back.
They went to unknown graves in cold
and' bloody shrouds; thence to
* Fame’s eternal camping ground.”
Years have passed since tlie dark
days of war. Time, which chauges all
things, h*d not yet put its deforming
touch upon the old church bell, and its
tes were just the same when it
yed its own funeral dirge two
weeks ago as when tlwy first fell tresh
upon the generation now iu the grave.
It may and will be said that our o’d
friend belongs to a past age. Perhaps
so. Tliat it stood in tlie way of pro-
that it was not “loud” enough;
some of the people even could not
hear it. It was loud enough for thous
ands of the best folks that ever lived,
and none are.so deaf as those who will
uot hear.

Editor Xaa and Advertiser:
I am aware that but few of your
readers will give the slightest credence
to anything savoring of supernatural
visitations. For all that, there is much
in earth and heaven not yet dreamed of
in their philosophy.
Some have been beard to boast of
sufficient bravado to invade the voice
less city of the dead, and there,
stretched ail alone upon some memo
rial stone, pass the night, devoid of
fear or trepidation. As for your con
tributor he would infinitely prefer his
nocturnal reposings, amid brighter
and more cheerful surroundings, deem
ing such invasion as little less than
sacrilige. The reader will pardon an
unavoidable digression, for 1 was just
going ou to say that retiring a few
evenings since at an unusually early
hour, 1 slept, for what duration ot
time I know uot, yet when I awoke I
distinctly heard, from an adjoining
apartment, the clock upon the stroke
MORRISON’S CHARGE.
of one. The night being sultry, I
arose with the intention of walking
for a time in the open and mote re-
freshing air of a gallery that extends
*the entire lengtlrof -the- building. As
I turned from the limit of the platform
in one direction I observed at the other
extremity the shadowy figure of some
oue, standing silent and motionless, as
if posted there upon sentry duty.
In doubt as to the identity of the
strange visitor, I approached lie
and bailed him by tbe name of a cer
tain friend for whom, at first, I mis
took him. He made no reply, nor did
be give me even so much as a side-long
glance of recognition. Again I ad
dressed him in a louder aud more posi
tive tone, but could elicit no response^
Greatly puzzled after tills second and
vain appeal, I could only stand aud
take a mental photograph of the out
line and exact apparel ot the rigid fig
ure before me. This prolonged sus
pense and mystery now become op
pressive and painful, so much so that
with perplexed emotions, which it is
needless to dwell upon, I left the plat
form and entered my own room. Hei
I remained for the space of fifteen or
twenty minutes, striving to convince
my better judgment that what I had
seen was, after all, a mere mental
chi mera or optical illusion. However,
at the end oi this interval of rumina
tion, 1 arose and again went upon the
platform where, as 1 am a living man,
there still stood bis inflexible ghostship
as if chiseled from a solid block of
monumental alabaster.
One particular feature that disturb
ed me was the peculiar manner in
which tlie stranger took his departure.
In the first place, if be was upon the
platform for auy sinister purpose, and
refused any reply when addressed, to
avoid identification, be bad ample time
in which to retire unseen and unrecog
nized. Instead of this, I found him
upon the platform when 1 left the room
the second time. He stood in the po
sition I have already described for a
considerable time, when, quicker than
1 can pen It down, he turned to the
left and glided, I won’t say walked,
over the ^allerv and, without the least
perceptible footfall, descended the rear
stairway.
Of course many will say that tills
apparent phantasm of the platform
was nothing less tliau a material fig
ure, a man of flesh and blood, of bone
and muscle, similar to all other good
people. Well; be it so, bat all the same,
there is iu this peculiar instance a
mystery that will, through life, re-
hiain, to me at least, unexplained and
incomprehensible. S.

some surprise that he was still able to

numerous attacks made upon him by

“Oh,” he laughed, “lam pretty well

“How hired, Mr. Morrison.”
“By the protective Interests. The
interests that are protected by tlie
tariff as it stands to-day can well afford
to pay thousands, yes, millions, of
dollars to prevent any chauge of the
tariff laws, and 1 have no doubt they
are doiug it. They have many news

The Reasoning Power of Fishes.
In the winter of 1840, says Seth
Green in the American Agriculturist for
July, I hunted deer and fished for
salmon trout in and around Bonaparte
Lake, Lewis county, New* York. 1
fished by putting down 100 books
through holes in tbe ice about four
rods apart.. These were baited with
good sized minnows, hooked through
the back in snch a manner as not to kill
them. • After the lines had been down
the first night 1 took frem them in the
morning 25 good-sized salmon trout.
Each successive morning thereafter
got a less and less number, uutil on the
eight day the number had diminished
to about seven or eight. But the aston
ishing part of it was, that tlie bait was
;one from every hook just the same as
t was on the first morning when 1
made the big catch. 1 knew that the
trout were not all caught out, but it
was very apparent that 1 could not
catch any more without removing to a
new ground and cutting a new set of
holes, which 1 accordingly did, about
a quarter of a mile from my former
grounds. There my results were the
same as before, aud fishing seveu or
eight days, I found it would be neces
sary for me to move again. One day
I ran a line of hooks in such a direc
tion, that one ot them came over a rocky
bar where there was open water. I
saw there was an opportunity for an
experiment, when 1 at once decided to
try. 1 fastened the upper end of the
line to an overhanging piece of brush,
so that nothing could interfere with
tlie bait below' without decidedly mov
ing tlie brush. Then 1 laid down ou
the ice with a coat over my head, so
that I could look down through the
clear water and watch developments.
Presently a large fine trout came along
and began maneuvering with the
minnow attached to the book, and op
erated in tlie following manner: He
kept as close to the minnow as possi
ble, and repeatedly snapped at it very
cautiously, reopening his mouth before
he had-fairly closed it, so as to prevent
getting anything into Ids mouth be
did not want, when tbe lively rniu-
now bad swam away as far ms tbe Une
would permit, tbe trout made a more
forcible snap at It so as to eutirely cut
it from the hook. The minnow sank
to tbe bottom, and the trout went after
it and soon had it stored away. 1 then
discovered why I had to move so often.
I immediately baited the hook with an
other minnow and lowered it down;
the trout came for it again and snap
ped at it as betore. I let it sink to tike
bottom, where the trout went after it
and swallowed bait, book and all, and
I never missed another oue where 1
saw the trout working at it.

Nat True Southern Sentiment.
New Tork Star.
The Atlanta Constitution, gravely
admonishes Mr. Morrison that the
Democratic party, is uot a free
trade party, aud tells him
that the Southern people are
largely ia favor of protec
tion. It goes witbout saying that the
utterance is eagerly quoted by the Re-
pulie;in and protectionist press, aud
commented ou as one of grave signifi
cance. In fact, the Republican press
is rather given to eulogizing our Geor
gia contemporary, and there is a strong
suspicion in many quarters that the
Constitution enjoys that process, and
frequently writes more with a view to
being qnoted at the North than to gain
ing approval at the South.
Be this as it may, well informed
Democrats at the North have long
ceased to regard the Constitution as a
true representative of Southern Demo
cratic opiuion, or to look with appre
hension on the effect that it aud tbe
little coterie it represents are having.
Georgia Democracy is rent in twain
by a fierce contest over the nomination
for Governor, aud the fight has assum
ed a character that renders real unity
in tbe future difficult of attainment.
The Constitution is the representative
of that small element in the South
which seems to thiuk' that tbe only
road to prosperity for the Southern
people lies across all of the principles
and convictions they ever professed.
Because the South was worsted in a
contest over slavery, this little clique
wants to put aside everything distinct
ly Soutnern and involve in one com
mon condemnation the wisdom and
the folly, the virtues and the faults of
the “old South.” Such a policy does
not represent the wishes of tbe South
ern people, and so * loug as honor and
self-respect continue among them they
never will assent to it. Reaaouable
men at the North would be sorry to
see them do so.
This little clique that slants for a
Brumagem “new South,” that shall
be an imitation New England instead
of its own honest self, does not repre
sent tbe Southern people, and least
of all doqs it represent tbe Southern
Democracy. In nothing does it' rep
resent the latter so little as in this at
tempt to commit it to Mr. Randall’s
policy. Every one hopes to see all in
dustries that can be profitably con
ducted in the South flourish ;*but the
intelligent people there know that
they cannot afford to attempt to build
up manufactures, even among them
selves, by a policy that threatens ruin
to their great agricultural indus
try. Tbe tariff craze may run its
course in a few isolated district in the
South, bat tbe Southern people as a
whole are and ever most be for a poli
cy tending toward free trade.

The defeat,of Gladstone’s Home Rule
bill drives the Premier to the country.
Even before the dissolution of Parlia
ment the Conservatives, Liberals and
Radicals are getting ready for the
most exciting ami perhaps momentous
political battle ever fought in tlie is
lands. The world looks on with new
interest because there is sought to be
turned over, iu British history not oue
but several reformatory leaves. Oqe
party is working to decentralize mon
archy and confer upou Ireland, and
" • nf, Wales and Eug-
perhaps on Scotland
the right of local self-govern
ment; while the other party is strug-
*ing for coutiiiucd centralization at
estroiuister. Iu this country, the
strange spectacle is seen of States con
trolling municipal governments from
their distant capitals, and in turn the
Federal Government enacting laws
which take from the States their re
served right in order to make Wash
ington the focus of all power! Gre t
Britiau is growing democratic, the
United States are growing monarchic.
The cry that “Congres must look to
the business interests of the country”
is tbe prime cause of the arrogance ot
that body. The fact is, Congress lia.-
control of the “business interests” but
in a very restricted sense under the
Federal Constitution. The States have
much to do with the “business inter
ests.” Next fall there is an election
for members of the Legislature of New
York and of members oi Congress ail
over the land. Suppose we raise the
cry: “Home Rule for America!” Take
from Congress its unsurpassed power,
return to the States tlieir full resere ed
rights and let it be understood that the
affairs of great cities are best managed
by their citizens. The great city of
New York, for example, knows her
needs far better than aliens to her
borders. Our Congress has become an
imperial parliament already, it is
now considering how to police the
railroads and iuteifere with the mar
riage and divorce laws of Slates, aud
instead of killing the Blair and Willis
Educational bills is entertaining a ne>v
bill by oue Miller, of Texas, to rob the
Federal treasury of millions of dollars
annually that the Federal Government
may take charge of and control the
public schools of the States. Numer
ous laws, among the excise and odious
laud subsidies, passed in violation, ol
the Frileral Constitution, should be re
pealed. In this State tbe Field Code,
wh feb was rushed trough tlie Legisla
ture without examination, and which
subjected citizens to insult, arrest ami
imprisonment, should be revised. In
fine, there should be inaugurated a
new era of home rule which w ill bring
usurpation to grief, or else our liber
ties will soon be not w'orth a whiff of
smoke.

bad learned tlie doxology, and when
ever it is sung lie begins to neigh,

ILLUSTRATED.
Hakvkb’s Bazar is the only paper in tn>
world that combines the choicest Uteratnn-
and the finest art illustrations with tbe latest
fMhions and methods of household adornment.
Its weekly illustrations and descriptions ol
the newest Paris and NeW York styles, with
its useful pattern-sheet supplements and cm
terns, by enabling ladies to be tbeirown
■smaken, save many times tbe cost of sub
scription. Its papers on cooking, the manage
ment of servant*, and boose-keeping in itr
various details are eminently practical. Mach
attention is given to the interesting topic ol
sociM etiquette, and lta illustrations of an
noedie-work are acknowledged to be unequal
led. Its literary merit is oTthe highest excel
lence, and the unique character of lta humor
ous pictures has won for it the name of the
American Punch.
