F. P. PEPPER—Photographer.
A number of Georgians have made
fortunes on ’change In New York dur
ing the series of jumps which cotton
has taken.
Thk Chicago papers were filled with
catchy illustrations of the Georgia
Legislators and newspaper men dur
ing their stay in that city.
Curious enough the present session
of the Legislature expires on Sunday.
This entails a loss of one day’s work.
The law should be amended by adding
"Sundays exoepted.”
Senator Wooten has got another
bill through the Senate. It provides
for the examination of all military
officers by a board especially appoint
ed for the purpose.
The anti-option bill, n meausure
against speculating in futures which
has passed the House and is now be
fore the Senate, Is the subjeot of more
comment, perhaps, than any other
measure now before Congress. It is a
big question and the concensus of
opinion seems to indicate that it will
meet with defeat.
There seems to be nnother epidemic
of sickness among great men. It is an
appalling fact that during the pnst
year a largo number of the world’s
most brilliant lights have passed away.
It is a mistake, however, to think that
the world has lost what it can never
replace. Other men will attract just,
as much attention, if not along the
same lines, in original and yet untried
fields. _ _
The Chinese exclusion act seems to
have petered out, so to speak. Up to
date only five Chinamen In the Union
have complied with the law requiring
them to take out extradition papers
and furnish photogrnphsof themselves
for identification. The penalty for fail
ure to comply with the law is depor
tation back to China, which, at a mod
erate estimate for all the Chinese la
borers in the country, would cost
nbout $10,000,000, which is, perhaps, a
little more than the government would
care to spend for such a purpose. In
the mean time China is enacting re
ciprocal legislation, and advising the
rat-eaters here not to comply with the
law. It looks R9 if the law were go
ing to lapse into a dead letter.

“If I am not mistaken,” said the
caller, removing his hat deferential
ly, ‘ 'I am in tho prosonce of tho grand
and supremely exalted potentate of

“You are, sir,” answered the man
at the desk, with an affable smile.
“Pardon the intrusion,” said the
caller, in tho same respectful man,

I address you, but you spell your
name S-m-y-t-li-e, do you not?"
“Yes, sir.”
“And your initials, I think I am

‘That is correct.”

“It is a mistako,” says a man who
is an epicure, and who regards gas
tronomy as a fine art, “that no
amount of caro will counteract to
have restaurants carpeted. Tho wool
will absorb tho odors of the dishes
served, to give them out again stale
and unappetizing to sensitive nostrils
fresh from the outer air. I noticed this
very recently in a high class Boston
restaurant, a visit to which has been
a distinct if minor pleasure of my oc
casional trips to that city. Hereto
fore the detailed perfection of every
thing about the restaurant has mado
me more than once enthusiastic, but
the other day I got there that faint,
lingering smell of past Cooking which
has disillusioned me.
“After taking fiiy seat I left it to
dine in the men’s cafe of the same
place, whoso marble floor I rightly
surmised would prevent any per
ceptible traces of former dinners.
Marble or wood makes the ideal
flooring for a restaurant, whose noisy
tendencies may be subdued by strips
of carpet down the aisles and rubber
tipped chairs. Heavy draperies
should be avoided as well.”—New

liams.
T— T : .
From Wodnesdsy’s Eveniko Herald.
It was reported this morning that
the clothes worn by the Negro Wil
liams at the time when the Italian
was murdered were concealed In a
Negro’s house across the river.
The fact leaked out from a report
that some bloody clothes had been
concealed at the house where Williams
uaine that night when lie returned to
the olty.
Sheriff Edwards went over this
morning to search for the clothes,
which, if they proved to be Williams’
would establish conclusively that he
was the guilty party, but the occupants
of tho house were not there at the time
and the house was locked. The search
will be made again this afternoon.
The thread of evidence is gradually
growing stronger against the Negro,
who is known to be a desperate char
acter, and there seems to he little
doubt now but that he is the criminal,
Ollloer McLarty discovered sonic
evidence yesterday which lead him to
believe that tile Negro had a hand in
tlie burningof Mr. B. F. Sibley’s house,
the tiring of which was concluded to
have been the work of an incendiary.
All these tilings will operate against
The criminal, and his present ohnnoes
look exceedingly slirik.

Mlilmpi of a Bridegroom.
One of the fashionable weddings
witnessed a reversal of the usual
order of things. Instead of the bride's
usual trepidation tho bridegroom
elect, while essaying to assist in the
decorations during the early part of
tho day, was so overcome with nerv
ousness that by noon a physician was
summoned and remained for some
time with the young fellow before
the remedies applied had the slight
est effect. According to tlie doctor’s
orders, ho was then put tp bed, tho
room darkened and strict orders giv
en that no one should be allowed to
enter until the time arrived when it
would bo necessary to dress for the
ceromony. Should these orders bo
disregarded, the doctor stated that
the prospective bridegroom would
not only bo unable to go through the
ordeal of tho ceremony and reception,
but would be unable even to stand up.

A Clever Parrot.
An aunt of mine was paying us a
visit, and noticing that Polly had
splashed his bath water over a win
dow near which he happened to be,
said in a severe tone: “Look what n
mess you’ve mado, you dirty bird.
I’ve a good a mind to throw you out
of the window,” to which the culprit
replied in the most contrite tone,
“Poor Polly, scratch Polly.” But a
moment afterward, as tho lady and
I left the rooms together, he hissed
out in the most vindictivo tones Im
aginable, “You wretch.” My aunt
returned and asked him, “What’s
that you said?”
“Poor Polly, poor Polly,” camo the
reply humbly and beseechingly from
this mendacious bird.—Cor. St. Louis

there happened to bo a baptism. She
watched the proceedings with open
eyes. When the first person came
out, dripping, from the water, she
shivered, hut said nothing. When
the second came forth she grabbed
her mother’s arm and exclaimed in
a very audible tone, “Mamma, I take
my bath Saturday night; don’t I,

WUl the 'Chemist Ever Be Able to Do
Wliet Nature Hu Donor
Will chemistry evor bo able to pro
duce living albumen capable of Ac
tively performing the port of a
leaven, and endowed' with sufficent
instability to go through all the
modifications that permit the com
bustions, splittings and demolitions
that lead to disassimilation and ex
cretion? It seems to mo that we are
permitted to hope for it. But with
in what limits will this power of the
chemist ho included.
Will he ever he able to moke a liv
ing being? Will ho succoed in mak
ing, even a simple cell, a grain of
starch, a muscular fiber, or any
shapely and differentiated element?
In order to answer these questions
we must dissipate some confusion
and present all the elemonts of the
problem.
To ask the chemist to moke direct
ly a differentiated being, or even a
muscular fiber, a nervous coll, n
grain of starch, is to ask him to do
what naturo herself 1mA probably
never been ablo to do, and what it is
probably impossible to realize. Can
one in good faith exact so much? Is
it not enough to nsk the chemist to
he as powerful ns nature ? The quos
tion is then reduced to, Will the
chemist be able to do what nature
has done? Let us see what nature
has done, looking from the evolu
tionist’s point of yiow.
If tho living form of matter was
ever born by virtue of the action of
natural forces, the event must have
taken plnco in a medium the con
ditions of which differed from tho
existing conditions of our globe, for
such formation of natural matter
does not soem to bo realized among
us. Under these special conditions
of the medium living matter must
have appeared in the most simple,
the most rudimentary condition, for
beginnings are always humble and
little differentiated.
We can conceive nothing of this
kind more simple than droplets,
more or less minute, of a substance
comparable with albumen or pro
toplasm—that is, a rent of vital ex
changes to he established within it.
—Armand Sabatier in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
Prcwnti for Mr* Gladstone*
Some of the golden wedding pres
ents in Haworden castle are curious.
There are half a dozen golden minia
ture axes, with various inscription*
on the blades. One ax in silver,
mode to serve as a pencil case,
caught my fancy. It was a present
from tho Princess of Woles, and had
on the blade the facetious observa
tion, I‘For axing questions.” There
Is a close intimacy between her royal
highness and Mr. Gladstone.
There are some wondorful presents
of jewelry from the shah of Persia
and others. On a prominent table
rests a large solid gold double Ink-
stand from the Prince of Wales, hut
perhaps the little gold model of an
afternoon too service from a tew
workingmen is testimony os strong
of a desire that this political king
may “live for over.”
Mr. Drow says that tho illumina
tion and labor put into the addresses
which Mr. Gladstono has had in hio
life, and which are now scattered all
over Haworden castle, must repre
sent a sum of £3,000.—Pall Mall Ga

The Poet's Remark to the J*ton Hunters.
Fresh Interest is revived in the old
anecdotes of Lord Tennyson, and
amon g them is ono told of a lady of the
genus “lion hunter” indigenous to
English soil. She lived not for from
one of Tennyson’s country homos,
and after pestering the poet with in
vitations to luncheon and dinner for
months, she finally prevailed upon
him to come and meet a party of
friends who were “dying to know
him.” During tho meal, while tho
hostess and friends stared at him and
listened curiously for his words, the
poet maintained a rigid silence, until,
when nearly at the cloBe, suddenly
ho looked about the table and said
with great gravity, “I likomymui
ton cut in chunks.” Whether the
guests penetrated the sarcasm or not
remains to. ho told.—New York Sun,
