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.

Curpots on tho Floors of Kuting Rooms. “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 York Times. High novelties in neckwear and silk handkerchiefs are shown hy 1 d3t Muse & Cox. Which Blur user* lo Criminate Wil 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.

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. -Kate Field’s Washington. 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.

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 zette. 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, COTTON REPORT.
