COMMERCIAL BARK,
ALBANY,
Tin* Atlanta correspondent of the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun calls atten
tion to the fact tintt.1 hero is now a new
law in Georgia which requires amend
ment at the coming Session of the Gen
eral Assembly, ami suggests that the
host legal talent among the inembers-
i elect cannot get to work too soon on
i the draft of a hill. This is the act em-
,| powering the Secretary of State to
grant, charters to railroads. Gen. Phil
Cook, Secretary of State, said to me
this morning“Those two acts are
loosely drawn, and should be repealed
Jam! ne v ones enacted. They mean
everything a id they mean nothing."
Some of the clauses are ungrammati
cal and indefinite;
The law provides ilmt all that is
necessary in making application fora
railroad charter is to state the name of
the company, the names <$’> the incor
porators, the points Ifetwfiffii which it
proposes to run, nnd’jfhe general di
rection thereof, and the amount of the
capital stock/ A fee hrust, accom
pany the application. Shares of capi
tal stock must he $100 each.
The definition of the powers to he
ranted the railroads is vague. It can
be construed to give t h.» corporations
liberal franchises or scarcely any at
all.
The IIKUAi.i) called attention to the
danger that lurked in this act. amend
ing the constitution, before the elec
tion, and can account for its adoption
only on the supposition that the peo
ple voted for it Indifferently and with
out understanding it. The Democratic
tickets that were printed and handed
out were,generally in such form as to
favor all the constitutional amend
ments proposed and voted on in the
recent election, ami most people used
them without taking the pains to in
vestigate the true meaning of the laws
for which they were voting.
Aside from the defects in the ac* to
which reference is made by the cor
respondent above quoted, the law is a
dangerous one. It places entirely Too
muon unrestricted in'scretuTn and pow
er, affecting the rights of the people,
in the hands of one man—the Secretary
of State.
Hindoo Legend «f Adaui and I’ve.
The Hindoo legend of Adam and Eve
in substance is as follows:
In the beginning God created Adima,
the first man, and tleva, the first wom
an, which completed life. lie placed
them on the island of Ceylon and com
manded them never to quit their place
of abode, but to remain and propagate
their kind. In the course of time in
wandering over the island they saw a
most beautiful land connected with
theirs by lofty peaks and ragged rocks.
The land beyond was most beauteous to
behold, being covered with stately trees
whose branches hung with fruits of
every variety. Many colored birds flit
ted from bough to bough and made n
perfect din of ever changing music.
Adima (note that this is directly oppo
site to our Biblical account) tempted
and induced Heva to violate the com
mand of the Creator and accompany
him to the paradise across the rocky

When they had crossed the narrow
neck of land which connected their is
land heaven with tlie mainland, they
heard a load, cracking noise and looked
around just in time to see the isthmus
break in two and sink beneath tlie
waters of the ocean. When it was plain
that their way back to their island para
dise had been cut off they turned their
attention to their new home and found
it a land of sand, thorns, rocks and
brambles, its supposed beauty having
been but a mirage raised by Rakokasos,
the spirit of evil, to tempt them to diso
bedience. For this act they were doomed
to perpetual labor and final death.—St.

and demand payment?” asked the mag

The Oreato.t Natural Bridge.
You all know of the Natural bridge
in Virginia, and perhaps have heard
how the first president of the United
States, in the athletic vigor of his youth,
climbed up and carved his name high
on its cliff. A very beautiful and pic
turesque spot it is, too: bnt many of
them would not begin to make one of
the Natural bridge in the western edge
of the Tonton basin, Arizona, in the
same general region as Montezuma’s
well and castle, but it is even less
known.
The Natural bridge of Pine creek, Ari
zona, is to the world's natural bridges
what the Grand canyon of the Colorado
is to the world’s chasms—the greatest,
the grandest, the most bewildering. It
is truly entitled to rank with the great
natural wonders of the earth—as the
Natural bridge in Virginia is not. No
photograph can give more than a hint of
its majesty; no combination of photo
graphs more than hint at it.—St. Nicho

Mathews and 1 were one day looking
throngli an album and came across a
drawing of tho back of a man.
"Lafonti” I cried.
Mathews cried out, “What do you
know about Lafont?”
“I’ve seen him act,” 1 replied.
Mathews turned to me very quietly
and said, “To that man 1 owe all—I
built myself up on him!” Tho fact is,
when I was playing ut the St. James,
after I had finished 1 would often drop
into tlie gallery of tlie Princess theater
and see tlie end of a French play. From
that gallery I saw an actor, which
caused me to say inwardly, “That's my

©0e old JStyU,
furniture may create an impression
of departed prosperity, or it may
indicate a refined taste for antiqui
ties, It all depends upon how old
the style is, aud what the fashion
may be, for there is a style just be
twixt and between, which is not old
enough to be antique and not new
enough to be modern. It is just as
necessary to follow the fashion in
furniture as in dress, and we all
know what a sight a man is with a
plug hat of the vintage of 1870.
You don’t want the baud running
after you playing "where did you
get that hat ?” nor for that matter
playing: "Where did you get that
chair?” We are now showing a
superb stock of furniture, in all the
latest styles and patterns, and can
fit you up every room in your
house to suit your taste, whether it
be of antique or modern cast. Our
prices are so low that any one cun
get what he or she wants- We put
them down so low because we v/ur.t
to sell out our entire stock now so
as to be enabled to have an entire
new stock of everything on hand .
when our new building is com
pleted.
We sell on installments as wul
as for the cash, and will try to
please all who call.
