Albany is one of the uleanest, brightest, liveliest little cities in the whole South, In my Judgment. It has some of the linest nrteslan water that ever reached the sunshine, from a thousand feet below; broad streets, modern and attractive resi dences, some very line business houses, and best of all some rustling business men with the nerve to Invest a dollar. It has the finest Chautauqua meet ings in the South. The Chautauqua r has the spirit of “go” In it. Its name Ip never “Dennis," but Dunning, Dun can, Davis & Co. Chautauqua takes the town when it arrives, and the peo ple are willing to be taken that way. | The oftener they are taken the worse I they want to be taken.

Dr. Duncan, the secretary of the parent Chautauqua; New York, Is. also secretary of the Georgia Chau- uqua, and is Yankee enough Fankee enough to know 1 good thing when he sees it, and then rant some of It. He owns property in Georgia, and Is at leaBt an acolimnted Georgian. He is a born organizer, a splendid off-hand speaker, a keen ob- server, a first-class business manager. This year is the fourth, I believe, and the most successful in the history of the Georgia Chautauqua. “ ' itftul The Institute was a success and It was a rare'treat to have Colonel Par ker, of Chioago, and Professor Sanford, of Macon, present and at work at the same meeting. i The addresses On the Chautauqua | programme were fine, and the leading I ones during my stay were by Dr. Lansing, of Worcester, Mass.: Col.

Distribute it with a fellows at evening time, and in the morning large numbers of the worms will be found'lying on the ground dead. If bodes arc pounded Into small pieces, deposited around the trees and grape vines, and chopped in with a hoe, they will show good results for years, ns they slojvly give up their par ticles. This is better than having them dry up and decay on the surface of the ground, where they are useless. Save and utilize all the dried bones. A strange cross of fruits is reported from Baltimore. A fruit merchant of that olty bought some apples and no ticed one of a peculiar appearance. On investigation it seemed to have the texture and appearance of an apple, but inside it had the kernel of a peach, and the flavor of the fruit was similar to a peach. Thick-leaved plantBj such as olean der, orange, Ivy, eto., should be watch ed for the,flrst appearance of scale Ini- sects, which should be brushed off with a tooth-brush, taking care to re move every scale, if possime, for if any are left they will multiply. Fruit men say that when fruit is barreled, and Is to be hauled several miles by tpam before being shipped, the barrels should be laid down on their sides so that they will not be shaken closer together, and thus be left looser in the barrel than when paoked.

James B. Young, who has held the position of executive clerk in the Senate,for ten years past, was peremptorily dismissed for al leged betrayal of the secrets of execu tive sessions, without being accorded a hearing—and that, too, in the face of tlie fact that the man protested his In nocence and demanded an investiga tion and an opportunity to prove that the charges that had been brought agninst him were false. The execu tive cluck of. tile Senate bound by am iron-clad oath not to'reveal auything that transpires in executive session, and he is liable to heavy punishment under law for its violation. But the seorets of the executive sessions lmve been getting out in some way, and some of tlie Senators jumped on the executive clerk as the one who had been giving them away to the news papers. The truth of the business, no doubt, is that some of the Senators themselves have been leaking; but an opportunity was given to make a scape-goat of the clerk, and it was done in short order. A few of the Senators protested against such a pro ceeding ns turning a sworn officer out without even giving him a hearing; but all to no avail. It was a reckless assassination of character by a body of whloh the country lias n right to ex pect something better; Kansas furnishes the neatest and best leap year story. It is n twin sis ter story, too, and is really romantic. As tlie story goes Nana and Nina, twin sisters resembling each other even more in person than in name loved the same man; Nunn took ad vantage of the leap year privilege and proposed. The young man was only too happy to accept; but the parents of the girl objeoted. In this dilemma Nana and her beau plotted an elope ment. Happy In her love and igno rant of the fact that her sister had been smitten by the same dart, Nana told Nina of the plans and asked her assistance, which was promised. But Nina formulated some plans of her own In the short time of her sister’s con fession. When the time for the elope ment arrived the prompt lover helped his prospective bride out of the win dow in the orthodox fashion, smoth ered her with kisses, and together they rode away to a parson and were mar ried. Now the denouement: After the ceremony the bride informed the happy groom that she was Nina, and not Nana. She had locked the unhap- py Nana in her room, eloped with her lover and married him before he found it out. He has concluded to make the best of it. Such is life in great Kan sas. in A BIG COTTON FOOL Which I. About to IN like n Big Pile of Hooey Oot of the Mingle. Special to the Atlanta Constitution. New York, April 13.—Owing to the purely professional character and ex treme nnrrowness of the stock market of late, it now transpires that several Wall street magnates have reeently been attracted to the cotton exchange, nnd are devoting themselves to the staple. Blessings often come in dis guise, and such the rcuent big cotton fire in NewOrleans nnd the prevailing Mississippi floods are proving; for these misfortunes have resulted in the crystallization of a gigantio bull pool In cotton. The pool began to nibble at the mar ket about two weeks ago, and to-day they are apparently complete masters of the situation. From the extreme low point the price of cotton has ad vanced over n half cent per pound, which, on the popularly estimated crop, means an appreciation in value of over $4,000,000. Several millions of dollars are said to have beeu deposited in cash by the pool as a working margin for their programme. The names of those com posing the pool are thus far held In profound seoreoy, but the evidence of theirflnanoial strength and vigorous purpose is both manifest and reliable. ADVERTISED LETTERS.
