Camp Northkn. May 25, 1892.
“It’s B o’clock, boys; get up!"
Tills Is the command of Sergeant
Pickens Coles early every morning
now, as he sticks his head through the
tent door of each slumbering soldier
lad, and puts an uncermonious end to
dreams of home and friends left be
hind.
Tilings have now settled down to a
state of steady regularity, which Is
neither monotonous nor exciting.
Drills, meals, time for rising and re
tiring, all arc gone through with at
exactly the same hours every day, hut
those who know them well can easily
understand how the members of the
Guards mannge to hnve a good time
when they are not on duty.
Governor Northen and his stait re
viewed the troops, Inspected and for
mally accepted the camp yesterday.
He was, as usual, enthusiastically re
ceived. and was very much pleased
with the showing made by the two
regiments in camp.
The Guards are thk company again
this year. Ever since they first made
their appearance on the drill ground
Tuesday morning, they have been the
favorites of the spectators, and their
drilling is unanimously pronounced
the best of any body of men in camp,
a company of United States regulars
not excepted. They are the observed
of all observers when the companies
go out on parade, and Capt. Wooten
and Col. Wight arc as proud of them
ns boys with new red-topped boots.
The officers of the oompany are very
popular, and hnve been honored by
appointments to important positions a
number of times already. Lieut. Tift
holds the position of Adjutant of one
of the battalions, and Sergts. Coles
and Davis have filled the position of
Sergeant-Major.
Will Shackelford 'killed a rattle
snake In the very middle of the Guards’
street yesterday, and the boys now ex
amine their tents carefully before re
tiring nt night.
Dr. W. W. Bacon, Surgeon of the
regiment, left for home this morning,
much to the regret of the boys. The
doctor was a great favorite with both
officers and men.
Squads of men come down from the
quarters of the Savannah Cadets at
night, and sit with the boys around
the camp fires, chatting, cracking
jokes, singing and passing away time
in various ways.
It’s oold enough for overcoats up
here. When the men have to get up
in the morning, their teeth nearly al
ways begin to chatter before they can
get their clothes on, and fires are all
the fashion until the sun warms things
up.
The target contest will come off in a
day or two. The rifle range is six hun
dred yards long, and there is consid
erable speculation as to who will cap
ture the company medal.
Mayor Htewart, of Griffin, visited
camp this morning, and met a num
ber of the members of the Guards.
Wilbur Brown, the New Orleans
drummer, well known in Albany, was
with him. Mr. B. A. Collier also came
out and shook hands with his many
friends in the company yesterday.
Adjt. Wilder has been appointed to
the important position of Chief Bugler
for Lieut. Satterlee, and of course fills
the position creditably.
Sed satis. In my next will write
more about what happens at Camp
Northen. H. T. M.
A Goon deal of wool is coming into
market now. Albany buyers handle
more wool than those of any other

The following are three good recipes
for the benefit of our lady readers in
terested in housekeeping:
Apple Cornstarch Pudding—Tart
apples, stewed with very little water
■until pulpy, sweetened, and thickened
with cornstarch, make a nice pudding
to be eaten with cream. Rhubarb is
used in the same way. The cornstarch
must be dissolved in a little cold water
before adding to the boiling fruit.—
■Orange Judd Farmer.
Lemon Snow (with cornstarch).'
To a pint of boiling water, add two
heaping tablespoonfuls of cornstarch
(wet with cold water), the juice of
three lemons, one and one-quarter
cupfuls of sugar. Reihove from the
fire, and when a little cool beat in the
whites of three eggs. Turn out in a
dish, and pour custard around it.—
Good Housekeeping.
Half a teaspoonful of corn starch
dissolved in a tablespoonful of cream
and added to an omelet of five eggs
will keep it light, and a bit of corn
starch will also prevent scrambled
eggs from becoming watery, as they
often do “that last moment on the
fire,” but be careful not to use too
■much in either case. An egg well
ibeaten and rubbed over the lower crust
•of pies will prevent the juice from
■soaring through, nnd the juice of fruit
|>iet thickened with a little cornstarch
will not boil over.
The following card appears in this
week’s People's Party Paper, the
Third Party organ published at At
lanta:
IV HE SAID IT HK I.IKD.
“In his speech at Sparta recently
Gov. Northen is reported to have said
of myself and Mrs, Post:
“•He Is an infidel. He Is an an
archist. Are you going to closet your
self with hint?
“‘How do I know? He says so.
His wife says so. Perhaps I should
not thus attack a woman, but she lias
unsexed herself. She has written let
ters against the Democratic party.
An atheist herself, she makes $1,000 a
month selling her dnmnnblc heresy.’
"During the trouble concerning the
Haymnrket riot, Post’s wife mailed
the anarchists’ wives money. Post
was told Hint unless he took it out of
the office he would be tarred and
feathered, and the infamous cur tuck
it out.’
“If Gov. Northen made these state
ments 1 reply, simply and plainly,
that on eyery count made, except that
of having written letters denouncing
the Democratic party, Gov. Northen
deliberately lied.
* “C. C. Post.”
WHAT TIIK GOVERNOR SAYS.
The Constitution of yesterdny wont
to see Gov. Northen about this card,
and ns the reporter began to read the
card, the Governor is reported to hnve
said:
“Oh, I’ve already seen that enrd. A
friend called my attention to it this
afternoon.”
“Have you anything to say about
itV” the Governor was asked.”
“Nothing,” the Governor decisively
replied; “nothing just yet. I’ll reply
to it in duo time.”
“Did yon say wlint you arc reported
as having said in yonr speech at
Sparta?”
“I have nothing nt all to say about
that card, now.”
But when the Governor does make
reply lie’ll probably give Mr. Post
something to think about during ills
leisure moments.
The “Fence’’ and “No Fenoe” ques
tion in East Dougherty has bobbed
up again.
It has been generally supposed that
the “Fence” people had deolded to ac
cept the result of the election held in
October last, nnd that the stock or
“No Fence” law would go into opera
tion without further protest, but to
day a bill of injunction was filed in
the name of Henry II. Nelinus, et. nl.
vs. Thomns J. Pinson, et nl., which
brings up the “Fenoe Question” again.
A voluminous document wns filed
to-day by Wooten & Wooten, attor
neys for Nelmns nnd those opposed to
the stock or “No Fence” law, and Mr.
W. Walters is the lawyer for the
defendants.
t’lic case will be argued before
Judge Bower at Bninbridge, on the
Second Monday in June.

The First Venrcl Mnrried Life.
A woman should not take offence
too easily, writes Christian Terhune
Herrick in nil Interesting article on
that most serious of questions in the
June Ladies’ Home Journal. Often,
indeed, tile words or mnnner she re
sents were not ill-meant by her hus
band. Some men have a hasty, brutal-
sounding fashion of speaking that
tries and hurts a woman cruelly, nnd
she should endeavor, by all gentle
means in her power, to break him of
the habit by representing to him, in
Ills calmer moments, the pain he In
flicts upon her. The man who loves
his wife will usually try to break him
self of any peculiarity that is distaste
ful to her, but she may rest assured
she will not better him by continual
harping upon the sore subject. To
harmless and Inoffensive Idiosyn
crasies the wife should shut her eyeB,
At the beginning of her married lifele
her make up her mind to one fact:
that she cannot force her husband to
resemble her In every particular of
thought and feeling. He will have
his preferences and his distastes, and
fhe need not expect to coerce or per
suade him into conforming them to
hers; after all, he has a right to his
own individuality, and she has no
business to interfere with them. There
will always be enough points of com
mon sympathy to form a meeting
ground, and upon matters of divergent
opinion let them agree to disagree. A
potent aid to a wife’s charity for her
husband will be the reflection that, in
all probability, tier faults arc quite as
trying to her husband ns his nan be to
her. If he takes his share in the en
deavor to preserve unity of feeling
there is little doubt that in time the
fermentation will work clearness.
Fire el Melga.
The storehouse and entire stock of
general merchandise of R. P. Peter
man, at Meigs, in Mitchell county, on
the line of the S., F. & W. R’y., were
destroyed by fire Thursday night.
The stock of goods was insured
through E. L. Wight & Co., of this
city, to the amount of $2,000.
The origin of the fire is not known
Iile ef Ihe Jorden Cellon.
Col. L. A. Jordan’s last year’s cotton
crop, which has been stored in ware
houses in this city since it was har
vested, has finally been sold. The sale
was about consummated Thursday,
and the buyers were all here to-day.
There were 930 baleBof the cotton, and
it was closed out to a combination of
local buyers at 8)i cents. Col. Jordan
could have sold part of the same cot-
i ton last fall at 10 centa a pound.
Nome Novelties In I.itdles* lire—.
Heart-shaped brooches of. tiny flow
ers are worn.
Heavy alpaca is used this summer
fur Imtliing suits.
Belts of heavy white silk ribbon nre
fastened with a silver buckle.
Some of the white linen shirt waits
for ladles, have a double frill down
tile front.
Tile bone pins so fnsliionnble for fast
ening tlie hair in place a short time
ago, have been superseded by gold and
silver pins used as ornaments.
So popular lias the gauntlet glove
become that it reintroduces the gaunt
let cuff on dresses that, when worn
over a long buttoned glove, has a very
oliia appearance.
White surah sashes, having a heavy
fringe knotted fringe, sewn on the
ends, nre worn, shaped like a pointed
girdle in the front with ends, not

One of the novelties in fashion Is n
sasli of three-inch ribbon having two
long ends at the back beneath a small
rosette of fine loops held in place by a
pearl, jet or rhinestone buckle.
Slioes anil stockings must mutch

A Picture »( Dr, Driiri.
In the Baptist Superintendent, a
periodical published in the interest of
the Baptist Sunday sohools of the
oountry, of last week’s Issue, there is a
cut of William A. Duncan, Ph. D., of
Syracuse, N. Y. A fine pioture it i« of
Dr. Duncan’s strong, expressive fea
tures—a picture that makes Dr. Dun
can look as though he was just about
to say, “Fellow Georgians.” It heads
a short, biographical sketch of his life,
that shows us what a wonderful
worker has been this man whose whole
life testifies to his love for mankind
and interest in his welfare.
Dr. Dunoan’s religious belief is well
known on aoeount of his conneotlon
with the New York Chautauqua. But
In this Baptist publication there la a
short artiole penned by him on the
use of the “Home Department in the
Congregational Sunday-schools.”
The Herald wishes that it oould
print the out given of Dr. Duncan.
Interest in the Georgia Chautauqua is
shown in every lineament of his face,
and its expression bids every one to
work for the project that lies so near
the heart of man loved by all Albany.
A WORD TV PROF. WINTER.
Mr. James H. Weiss, whose Illness
was mentioned in the Herald on laBt
Friday and again on Saturday, died
at about. 9 o’clock Saturday night.
He had been 111 for two weeks, and his
condition.became alarming to the fam
ily, and the attending physlolnns
realized that his oase wbb almost hope
less, during the early part of last week.
Mr. Weiss was first prostrated by
an attack of dysentery, and tills was
followed by n fever, wluoh assumed a
typhoid form.
Jim Weiss, for such Ills hundreds of
friends in Albany were wont to call
him, wns one of tlie most promising
young business men of tills city. He
wns quick, cnpnble nnd thorough in
all business matters, und wns steadily
ndvnnclng 111 tlie business world. For
several years he wns the trusted ac
countant In the extensive mercantile
business of Mr. S. B. Brown, nud Inst
year lie and Mr. E. R. West, another
young mail who had developed excel
lent business qualities in the service
of Mr. Brown, formed a copartnership
and went into the warehouse nnd
commission business under the firm
name of West & Weiss.
The death of Mr. Weiss lias east a
gloom over a wide circle of friends In
this community; for bis friends were
many. He leaves a widowed mother,
Mrs. H. WelsB; three sisters, Mrs. I.
ICieve, Mrs. L. 0. Plonsky, nnd Mrs. I.
Jacobson, and a younger brother, Mr.
Isaac Weiss, nil of this city, to mourn
Ills untimely death. In tlielr great, be
reavement they have the heartfelt
sympathy of many sincere friends.
Tlie mortal remains of Mr. Weiss
were laid to rest In the Jewish cem
etery Sunday afternoon, after nn ap
propriate service nt tlie family resi
dence conducted by Mr. Charles Wess-
olowsky, and he wns borne to his final
resting place by friends who knew and
loved him in his every-day Ufo:
Julius Feritz, Adolph PlonBky, Louis
Zuker, Abe Harris, Daniel Mayer and
Louis Hofmayer. ■
A large number of friends had pre
pared to attend the funeral services,
but were prevented from doing so by
the drenching rain that fell at that
hour, and on account of whloli the
service‘was delayed until nearly 6
o’clock.
By his death a widowed mother has
lost a loved son, and a large olrole of
people, young and old, a pleaslngoonv
panion and a trusted friend; but the
burden of life eould not have been laid
down in fear and trembling by, one
who lived the honest, straightforward
life that young Jim Weiss did. Know
ing that, though sympathizing deeply
with the sorrowing family and friends,
one cannot but exolatm, “Where is thy
sting, oh death, and where, oh grave,
is thy vlotory 1”

Bodn of an Unknown Rare.
According to the stories told by •
traveler who comes from Nogales,
A. T„ the mountains of Los Trinche-
ras, Mexico’, nre worth scientific ex
ploration. The traveler tells of the
wonders of the Los Trincherna coun
try. The mountain is situated in the
Sonora plains, about 130 miles from
the Gulf of California nnd 25 miles
from the town of Altar. It is near the
placer gold fields, which have been
worked since 1804 and are still rich
in ore. Tim mountain of Los Trim
clients is 300 feot high and 700 yards
across. Large stone terraces, from
six to ten feet high, huvo been built
on ill] sides, from the base of the liill
to its summit.
’’It must linvo taken 100,000 men u
year to build these terraces," said
the traveler. ’’Several theories ore
advanced for the construction of
these terraces. Some think they
were part of a tremendous amphi
theater. where tlio people gathered
to witness games. Others believe
they were fortifications of Aztec ori
gin, but they seein older than that.
At any rate, the district seems wor
thy of a thorough exploration by sci
entific men. Many unique und .val
uable relics can be found around the
curious Los Trinchoraa mountain,
and for hundreds of miles in all di
rections, showing that the country
was once isipulous and rich.’’—Chi-

From the Bainbritlge Democrat.
Say, Prof. Winter, lend your ear for
a minute. Do you consider Mr. O. B.
Stevens to be a candidate for Con.
gress.or just for the Democratic nom
ination for that position? If the lat
ter, have not other people the right to
contest for that distinction at the
hands of the Democratic party? Your
editorials In the Tliomasville News
imply that Stevens is already the can
didate of the party for Congress, and
your attacks upon life-long Democrats
whose names have been mentioned in
connection with the nomination are
not only unbecoming a self-assertive
Democrat like yourself, but are mean
and vicious. Mr. Stevens himself as.
serts that he is only seeking the Dem.
ocratic nomination, and we see no rea
son why you so vigorously and lustily
attempt to bar all others out. If you
are really the Democrat you claim
yourself to be. you will need to save
some of the thunder you are firing at
Democrats, to be used in behalf of
your man StevenB should be be nomi

A Remarkable Nprlag Drealh Brekca

We have had rain in Albany at last,
Sunday afternoon there oame a
shower that wet the earth, and it broke
the most remarkable spring drouth
within the recollection of the oldest
inhabitant.
The last previous rain that we had
was on the 25th of Maroh. We had,
therefore, been without rain for sixty-
four days when yesterday afternoon’s
shower came to lay the dust and water
the thirsty earth.
During this dry period we had two
little showers that were barely suf
ficient to lay the dust, but the rainfall
was not enough to wet the ground or
be of any material benefit to vegeta.
tion. ^
Fall drouths are not unusual in this
region, of late years, but this is the
longest spring drouth we have ever
had, and the withering, depressing ef
fects of It have been very apparent
for several weeks past.
A few partial showers have fallen
almost within sight of us during this
remarkable drouth, but the drouth has
been general thruughout Southwest
Georgia, and Albany seems to have
beenln the center of the dryest part
of the dry region.
All nature has been refreshed by
yesterday’s shower, and, now that the
backbone of the drouth has been
broken, it is reasonable to hope that
other showers will soon follow.

In the New York Tribune’s copy
righted list of millionaires 899 are
credited to Pennsylvania, 215 of whom
have made their fortunes chiefly in
“protected” industries. According to
this showing there is about one mil

Keystone State. As all the 899 have
$1,000,000, and many of them more
than that amount, the accumulation of
such great fortunes in single bands
makes a startling aggregate, and
brings into aerions question tbe eon-

At n Lanarkshire county court
some time ago a case of assault and
battery was being heard, and tlio
lawyer who wus engaged for the de
fense took occasion several times
during the cross examination of n
witness for the prosecution to refer
to him ironically as a “gentleman.''
This went on for some time, and at
last the witness appenled to the court
for protection. “I’m nne gentleman,
fer honor." said ho, "nn fine that
awyorbody kens it; hut he’s only
sayin it so that I'U get angry, in the
hope that he’ll be able to make me

“Come, now," said tho legal lumi
nary, witli a contemptuous sneer,
“do you swear tliut you are no gen
tleman?” “I do,” replied the witness
in a nettled tone, “an youmayswenr

At Christiania, in Norway, building
operations are successfully carried on
at temperatures as low os 2 dogs.
Fahr., and the work executed under
these conditions compares favorably
with summer work. In fact the
Christiania builders maintain that it
is superior. The secret of successful
work under these conditions is said
to be in the use of unslacked lime, in
mixing the mortar in small quanti
ties at a time, being made up imme
diately before use. The mortar must
be put in place before it loses the
heat due to the slocking of the lime.
The lower the temperature the larger
the quantity of lime required, so that
