The farmers of Southwest Georgia are gradually getting out of debt, but only a few of them, compar.itivelv speaking, are accumulating anything.

Sec retary Whitney is just crazy over Ills uew bom heir. Ever since its birth he has transacted nearly all his official business In a library adjoining tlie apartment of his wife. A regular army train of clerks is to be seen at all hours of the day marchiug between tlie Secretary's house and his office in the public buildings. It almost broke his heart this week when he was coui- j^lied to rtui over to New York for a few hours aud leave tlie little one be hind at tlie capital.

Owing to two notable deaths which have occurred within the last fifteen mouths, it will be impos sible to nominate both of the “old tickets” Iu their entirety; but, says the Washington Star, “with the chauce for new men which tiiis circumstance opens, the likelihood that both presi dential candidates of 1881 will be re- nouiiuatcd next year seems to be rather i icreasing.” Those who have not given the sub ject careful thought and investigation, nave but liule idea of the enormity ol the dependent pension bill, and of how much President Cleveland has saved to the country by vetoiug the meas ure. It Is officially stated at Washing ton that $16,000,000 will I*e required to pay the peusiouers for the quarter eiuliug March 4tb. Thl* is nearly hull as much as tlie annual interest oir thi public debt, and one-third as much a- the entire ordinary expenses of the government before the war. And yet tlie depeudeut |»eiisiou bill passed by Congress proposed to more than double tlie expense list. It is a for tunate tiiiug for tlie country that, man iu tlie White .House, whose nature to this bill was necessary u» make ic a law, had back-bone enough to exercise tlie Presidential veto power. One of the strangest secrets which death ever disclosed has just been found to be true of a miser physician who ended his exiMwience In New York city. Hundreds of empty bot tles and packages fournl in his room showed that for many mouths lie had lived on the various nutiieious articles widely advertised iu the medical jour nals. This had cost him nothing, fo* he had takeu advantage of the sharp rivalry in wares of this kind and hail written to the proprietors for samples, implying that he might require a large quantity if the trial proved successful. His name appeared in the list ,6f reg ular practitioners, his requests wefr freely granted, and lie obtained all sorts of cereal foods. araUons, koumiss and tonics. His jo cular diet may have killed him, for he u*r'of v over the house on her first tour ol inspection, and it is safe to say that lie lias had her iu his arms every spare moment since. It is nine years since tiie little girl, who died abroad, was born, and Mrs. Whitney lias nearly forgotten all the baby rhymes with which all mothers are familiar. 31 rs. Whituey has received several letters from frieuds iu Cleveland asking her to call the baby Flora Payue. It was 31 rs. Whitney's name before she was married, and they would like to have tlie name p«rpetnated. Mrs. Payhe, mother of Mrs. Whitney, tells that when she (Mrs. Whitney) was horn there was great rejoicing on both sides of the family and much discussion about a name for her—so much so that it was two years before she was named. Her grandfather, Nathan Perry, was passionately fond of flow ers, and one day sent her a gold brace let inscribed with the name Flora. The name was rejected at first, but was finally adopted. Mrs. Payne has a name to suggest for the present baby, but objects to it because it is stalely in its siigg-stion and a trifle romantic. It is her own name—Leonora. Quite a number of letters have been received by Mrs. Whitney asking her to mime the baby Frances Cleveland Whitney, after tlie President’s wife, but how she receives the suggestion is not known. Mrs. Burton Harrison gave Mrs. Whitney the recipe for the drink called caudle, which it is a Southern custom to serve to invited guest* when the chihl is three weeks old.' The in vitations were wont to bear tlie word “caudle” in the corner of the card, and everyliody knew what that meant. As soon as ever tlie name is selected there will be a royal christening party. It is rumored that Secretary aud 3Ir*. Whitney will give a ball on the occasion which wjj) ei Jipse in splendor anything of the kind before seen iu Washington. It wHl probably occur the latter part of this month or the first week iu March. Expectation is rife as to who will be asked to stand sponsors for the baby, the prevailing opinion being that this honor will be conferred either by the President aiul Mrs. Cleveland or some of the Cabi net. It is said that the President idolizes that baby aud takes tlie deepest interest in her welfare, and considers her the brightest jewel in the diadem of the Democracy and the administra tion. This fact has led to the some what facetious suggestion from Sena- or Brown, of Georgia, that the chris tening be made the occasion for placing another rose in tlie pathway leading to the reconciliation of the North and South. In this connection lie"«uggesrs that the little one be called Francis 31 ildr-d Whitney, after Mrs. Cleveland aud the daughter of General Lee. Mrs. Cleveland and Miss Winnie Davis would have to stand as god mothers aud Generals Sheridan a d Joseph E. Johnston as godfathers. A detachment from the Grand Army of the Republic aud another from the Army of Northern Virginia might be relied u|mmi to preserve order duriu. the christening ceremonies. The diplomatic corps would have to lie on hand iu court dress, the Su premo Court in their robes ot i-ffice. both houses of Congress, followed :by the leaders of the german ami the re gents of the Smithsonian.

The first Democratic platform ever adopted was in 1800at Philadelphia,in the interest of Thomas Jefferson, which declared, not for protection, but strongly against it, iu these words: “Free commerce with all nations, political connection with tioue, and little or uo diplomatic establishment.” Next was the Democratic platform on which Van Bureu was elected in 183G, as follows: “Hosti'ity to any and all monopo lies by legislation, la-cause they are violations of tlie equal rights of the people. “The true foundation of Republican government is the equal rights A VALUABLE JUG.

A detachment of soldiers were sent back to the old camp and the woods searched for two long days. When the deCeliment re turned to Capt.

The Democratic convention of 1852 opposed prot* ction by declaring Its hostility to “monopolies and exclusive legislation for the lienefit of tlie few at the expense of the many,” and adopted the follow iug as a part of the Demo cratic platform: Resulted, That it is tiie duty of every branch of the Government to enforce and practice the most rigid economy in conducting our public affairs, and that uo more revenue ought to be raised than is required to defray nec essary expenses of the Government and for the gradual but rtain extinction of the debt.

After briefly stating tliese facts be -proceeded to give me a brief sketch of bis career aa a circus man. Some years ago lie joined Deliaven'.* efretis, and #frn/the show visited the West Indies *ml Bduth America. The circus made a successful tour of equatorial laode, and started on the re turn voyageJor St. Tlioinas, one of the West ludia islands. They intended c*\miug . by, a nearer route, but there happened )tb be a' row in Xfcaraugau and the vessel had to bear off, am while the battling natives were given a wide hertli, the circus men were con fined toi their narrow one for a lougei time thaii w as either pleasant ot prof- itablej " ! -• ••:••• « ‘ • Before the voyage was over the ves sel suffered shipwreck near Cat island, and tlie papers teemed with black let ter headlines, stating that the- circu> had’ been lost, - and with it Johunii’ Bent, a native of Atlanta. Johnnie Bent was not lost, however, and it was his good dr ill fortune tha brought him some notoriety by throw ing him in contact with the high dig- uitaris of the Isle de GaudaloujH?. While the circus was on this favored Island the Governor and other high and mighty official* got Into a dispute with the circus hien, and the outcome of the affair was that various official.* got black eyes and tlie governor left the scene of conflict with a broken head. Johnnie was accused of striking the Lord's anointed,and had to snffer alone the odium of the deed. Joliuuie- wa.* very bitterly of the way the circu* folks fail#! to stick up to him, when fotind they could ap|>ea.*e the in sulted honor of the Gnadaloupans by allowing liitu to be punished for it. When thr-circus arrived at St. Tliomas Johnnie heard of the death ol his mother, *ome two months after tin- rad occurrence, and he suffered great anguish of soul At the sad intelligence. But he was far from home, aud it was sometime before he *tep|>ed ashore once more u|>on the laud of his uativ- ity at the City of Brunswick, by the Johnnie was obliged to continue with the circus so as to fill his engagement and get hi* *alary. Arriving iu Atlanta be had only two hours iu which to condole with hi.* father, whose heart was sore with grieving over tlie death of his wife. Johnnie says he weut on to Chita hoping to get his moiiey,'but lie failed to secure it, ajid had to apply to his fa ther, who owns a good deal of valua ble property, real ami jiersoiial, in At lanta, for the means to get liack home. He received fifty dollars,^ hut was In duced to remain with .the circus for awhile longer, by the hope of getting his money. He say* that he turned the fifty dol lars oyer to owe of the circus men, tell ing Id in to keep U, *o that in case Johnnie had to jump the show he would have enough to get home on. When he got to aplacecalled Wrights- villv, out west, he wa* told to retnm to a certain point, ami when he joined the circus, he fouiid that he had been discharged.

Collector Crentbaw Attacked by Agent Cbupmau, Who Doesn’t Like the Way Crenshaw in Run. nlngHiM Office. Atlanta Department of thcMaoon Telegraph. ;jl Atlanta, February. 15.—This morn ing about 9 o’clock Qoliector Thomas C. Crenshaw and Revenue Agent W. H. Chapman had a personal difficulty in the office of the former at the Cus-; tom House., Npblooci was spilled, but Collector , Crenshaw* was severely choked.; .Col, Crenshaw says that Mr. Chapman came, into his office and asked Rim if he intended to^ remove Deputy Perry Chisolm. He replied that he did; thri he had already given Mr. Chisolm nearly two months no tice, and unless bfc resignation was handed in the 1st of March, he would .tllariutgge him.. ChapmJui said; “You ought not to remove Chisolm. He is the > best deputy you have.” Cren shaw told him tiiat he understood his duty, and charged Chapman with in termeddling. Chapman said he in sisted that Chisolm should not be re moved. Crenshaw persisted that he would remove him. Then Chapman remarked: “Ifyou do, I will charge that you removed Chisholm because he seized your friend Crawford’s still iu Clayton county and exposed his frauds.” Crenshaw said that had uothlugtodo with the ^removal. Cliap tnan then charged Crenshaw with sup pressing frauds iu tiie interest of his friends in the territory, when Cren shaw said, “That Is not trne.” Chap man jiftaped up and seizing Crenshaw by tlie arm yelled, “Take that back, or I’ll kill you,” at the same time run ning his hand into his pocket, Cren shaw cried out: “I will die in my tracks before I'll take it back.” Chap man then began choking him when be pusbed'kim off and tlie clerks ran in from the other room and things quieted Jown. Crenshaw then charged in their presence tiiat Chapman had either a kuife or pistol in his pocket. Chapman said: “You are an infernal liar, you are armed.” Whereat Cren shaw turned ills pockets inside out to *l»ow that he had uo weapon and told Chapman he would not bandy epithets with him because it was beneath his f Crenshaw’s) dignity as a government official. Chapman then recharged Creushaw with covering up frauds in his de-; partiuent and walked out—not, how ever, before taking his hand from his riocket, disclosing to. view a kuite. Hie above Ls the gist of the collector's *tatemei)t of tiie affair. Chapman says that he went to Cren shaw's oflice to see hiur about Chis olm's removal, and that Crenshaw got very angry and gave him the lie. and that then he choked him. He said that lie told Crenshaw that it was re ported that he Intended to remove Chisolm because tiie latter had seized Crawford’s still, exposing frauds; that Creushaw then gave him tlie lie. It is impossible to get at the full de tails which led up to the trouble to night. Crawford is on Crenshaw's bond. Chapman was appointed under a Re publican administration—Hayes's, 1 think—and Chisolm was appointed by Andrew Clarke, whom Crenaho'v suc ceeded. Food From Dirt and Water.

Franklin, Picnx., Feb. 13.—Some weeks ago a young woman named Scott, who was soon to become a mother, appeared before Mercer county justice ot the peace and swore »ut a warrant for the arrest of a young man named William Blood good on a charge of assault and battery. Blood- good was arrested. The young woman swore that two weeks previously the prisoner had come to her house and, as she objected to his remaining, he had choked her until she was almost unconscious and had twisted her left wrist, almost dislocating it. She said the marks of his fingers and thumb were visible on her throat for several days, and her wrist bad remained crooked for some time. She bad no witnesses ot the assault. Bloodgood admitted having been at the young woman's bouse, hut denied the assault. The justice held him, however, to ap pear at court. \ Few persons believed that the girl had beeu assaulted, and as she had no witnesses to prove her story Blood- good’s discharge was expected as soon court met. The case was called at tiie last term of Mereer court. The com- plainaut appeared, carrying her three week's old baby. Her lawyer put her oil tiie witness stand. She swore to having been assaulted by the prisoner as she had sworn before the justice of tiie peace, and that she was the mother of tlie child iu her arms. A physician corrobonuel the fact of tiiat relation ship. The lawyer then stated to tiie court that a* the defense would ask for acquittal on the ground tiiat there was uo evideuce of any as sault having been committed, he of fered as evidence corroborative of tiie plaintiff's testimony the baby she had in her arms. He removed the child’s wraps and carried it to the judge, and called his attention to it. The result was that tiie baby was admitted iu evi dence, against the objection of the de fendant’s counsel. The prosecuting lawyer took the infant to the jury, and, uncovering its throat, revealed to them the distinct maras of four fingers ou one side of it and the plain and un mistakable Impression of a thumb on the other. After the remarkable birth marks had been examined by the jury, the lawyer uncovered the baby's left wrist. It was twisted out of shape and swollen, as if R had been suddenly wrenched. Tliese marks ou tlie throat and the twisted wrist corresponded ex actly with the injuries tlie baby's mother swore, more than a month be- ore it was bom, to having received at tiie hands of tiie prisoner, Bloodgood After this startliug aud most extraor dinary evidence was presented, the prosecution rested its case.

This machine, 1 the writer says, lias accomplish) the problem of combining thei natural ele ments so as to manufacture wholesome food. Edison is made to say in this interview: “Intenyems my maclnue will be used to provide the tables of the civilized world. Meat . will be no longer killedaod vegetables no l^uger grown, except by savages, for my methods will, be so , much cheaper.!' Mr. Edison theu exhibited samples of food which be said he bad made from dirt in his cellar,-aud. from water taken from tiie water* pipes in the linage.

The shelves were lined with chemicals. There was a small battery iu the cor ner, from which one wire weut to the vat. A kerosene lamp burned uuder a sort of retort. That aud four crooked pipes with handles were all that was visible. “How Is it now?” said Edison. “About 53,” replied tlie man. That was all. We returned to the room above. “I shall simplify that machine one-half,” he remarked. “Yet with that I can turn out at least five tous of food of various kinds every day. have already made eighteen kinds of food. I will tell you something if you will not say a word till I say go ahead.'. Ail food comes of course, pri marily, from the earth; The plants and fruits we eat come from tiie ground, and the auiiuals we eat live on tiie plants, or on other animals which the plants have kept alive. So ail food comes from the elements stored in earth, air and water. You eat a grain of wlie^t for instance. The wheat is mainly composed of a few simple gases and salts that last year were ly ing dormant iu the earth, the air aud the water. “It occurred to me that this process might be hastened; tiiat instead of waitiug a year for nature to collect those elements into an organic seed 1 could collect them iu an hour, or j»er- haps a few minutes, and arrive at the same result by combining them organ ically. This. 1 have done. I first find out what a particular kind of food is made of. There are sixty-five simple elemeuts in nature; that is,substances which we call situ pie elements, because we have not yet succeeded iu proving them to be compound. I am afraid your readers will not generally under stand what I am goiug to say. If you use it be careful to take it down ver batim. “There are sixt-five elements. Car bon is the kiug of tliese. It is the great organizer. It Ls never absent from any plant or auiinal organism. It is at the base of almost everything. It is tiie key to my discovery, for it posses ses the peculiar capacity to form mole cules from its own atoms. The dia mond is pure carbon, so are graphite and charcoal nearly pure carbon, though they are so different. Sugar aud starch belong to tiie hydrocarbons, and 1 cannot understand why their manufacture out of earth aud water hasn't been hit on before. .

I find tiiat those elements combine at the lowest temperature that have tlie same atomocity—that is, the same bonds by which they unite with one-anoth *r or with compound mole cules. Tiiis great invention lias not been ‘hit on’ before because analytic chemistry has received to much atten tion to the exclusion of synthetic chemistry; men have been more de voted to learning than to doing. La voisier was just on the edge of it and missed. Sir Humphrey Davy, Liebig and Faraday were all Iu sight of it and suddenly turned aside. They succeeded iu making urea out of the elemeuts ami several other inorganic substances, but they stopped at that. They overlooked the simplicity of tols thing. “i think that after two or three years New Yorkers, for instance, will uo longer eat meat or vegetables. They will not send to the Tropics for fruits or to Europe for wines, because tlie head of every family by turning a crank (or, perhaps without turning a crank, if a clock apparatus is attached) cau produce more delicious fruits and wines at a tenth ot the cost. Sir Isaac Newton said: “Tlie prop erties or all food are in the dirt, uuder our feet aud iu the air over our heads —but they elude our grasp.” 1 was led On by Dalton's great discovery of the law ot multiple proportions, that the atomic weight of compounds is the same as the atomic weight of tneir in gredients. I was helped also by the well-known law of is morphism, that certain groups of substance* exist, any member of which can be replaced by any other member in eg divalent pro- jortions without changing the crystal- iue charater of tiie matter. “The extraordinary analogy be tween homol- gous groups of . tlie ele ments, a* chlorine, bromine aud io- diue, have been remarked by many chemist. Not only isolated triads, blit all the elements may lie brought into such homologous series expressed by the general formula of AxNd. How ever, this is beyond the avenge reader and will hardly be intelligible. “No change of food Is contemplated. Every man cau have food ol the kind to tvhich he is accustomed, or which he prefers. It will be as easy to pro duce cabbage as oranges, and pork as partridges. We shall actually pro duce these very things, but iu a new form. It will be cabbages aud oranges that have never felt the wind and rain, and pork aud partridges that have never been alive. We merely teke a short cu: and snatch the food‘from tlie earth without giving it the trouble of growing. It will lack fibre, which is tiie perceptible difference. “The equivalent value of an element is now measured by the number of atom* of a monatomic or equivalent element with which it will combine.

Smallpox carried off Tungche, the late Emperor of Cliiua, at the age ot 18, on January 12, 1875. It is the cus tom in China for the sovereign to ap point his successor from the members ot liis family of a younger generation titan his own. This Tung-che had neglected to do. The • widow of hi* predecessor. Hung-fung, joined with Prince Ch'nn, her brother-in-law, and brought about tlie election ofTsai-tien, the son of Prince Ch'nn, as Emperor, aud for the first time in the anuals of the T'sing dynasty the succession to the throne passed out of the direct liue. The dowager Empress herself became regent. She was a woman of great tact and skill and had been re gent after the death of her husbaud during the minority of Tung-che. Tsati-tien, who succeeded under the title of Kwangeon, or “Succession of Glory,” is the ninth Einperor of China of the Tartor dynasty of T’sing, which succeeded the native dynasty In the year 1014. The surnanfe of tbe lamily is Gloro—that is, golden—and, accord ing to traditiou, was giveu to their first ancestral chief, Aisin Gloro, because he was the son of a divine virgin? About the year 1130 tlie tribe of Tar tars to which the family belonged drove out tiie native rulers and occu pied the northern province 8 of Chiua. Pekir. was their capitolfor many years, and in tiie course of time the present T’sing dynasty of emperors wa* found ed by them. The word “T'sing,” which means pure, was adopted as a surname to signify whai would be the character of the gdministratiou they would set up. Tsai-tieu was born on the 15th of August, 1871. He was therefore, a lit tle more tiian three years of age when he was carried, “cross aud sleepy as he was,” In the presence of the conclave of 3Ianchn Princes.

His mother, tlie Princess of Ch’nn, who is a sister of the Empress of the West, was raised to tlie rank of Empress dowager when he became sixteen, and his father was made T'ai Shang Huang.

A BARB SEBGICAL EXPERIENCE. U.m.vliiff a U.bblli tjc and Placing: |( lb a Homan Being’s Head—K Was Not : m Success, However. : New York special to Cincinnati Enquirer. There has just been tried in tiiis city, for the first and probably the last time the experiment of transferring the eye of a living rabbit to the head of a liv ing human being. Mr. Chuiles A. Williams, tiie city etlltor of the Min neapolis Tribune, lost his right eye seventeen years ago by the explosion of a fire-cracker. A few months ago the left eye began to trouble him aud the doctor told him he would have to have the extinct eye removed to- save the other. Mr. Williams had read ac counts of experiments made in Paris in transplanting rabbits' eyes,and also those made more recently by. D^.May, of tiiis city. Dr.‘ May began a series of experiments in transplanting living eyes from one-rabbit to auotiier, and in five cases out of twenty-tour was successful. Mr. Williams,who heard of Dr. May 8 experiment, came. to New York tn the latter part of January and offered himself as a subject on which to perform the experiment. The ‘ “ _je operation was performed on the morulug of February I,‘ In Mr. Wil liams' room at 119 East Fifty-uinth street. Mr. Williams was in flue phy sical health. With Dr, ,.May there came to Mr. Williams' room Dr. Gru- ening, Dr. WUmer, half a dozen med ical students, and a professional nurse. The autmal which was to contribute an eye for Mr. Wil liams’ adornment was a very large Belgian hare, with eyes which almost matched Mr. Williams’s lu color, ex cept that they were just a shade darker aud 2.25 smaller. Mr. Williams left broaght to the room and laid upon a sofa a few teet away from tiie table on which lay the rabbit. When Mr. Wil liams was also under the influence of ether, the first step in the operation, both upon tiie rabbit, and upon Mr. Williams's eye was to cut loose the conjunctional sack from tlie hiusele which control the movement'.of the, eye, and as they were cut. tbelr ends were caught with a ligature of silk thread. The optic nerves :ln the rab bit’s eye and in the eye of the human being were severed at about the same time, and the transfer was theu made as quickly as possible, the optic nerve les in the joiued, and the muscles i human the method a trifle.” EDISON A HELPLESS INVALID.

This enlarged, and on the next day nearly all the coloring matter of the ins had run out. Nothing was left then but to remove the rabbit's eye, and Mr. Williams will.
