DeLesseps, in a circular, in¬ forms the holders of Panama ca nal shares that new bonds will be issued in order to provide capital for the improvement of the canal works.

The subscription list will open on March 1 , and close on March 0 . An Atlanta lady lias a very re¬ markable stone. It is a Ballast port diamond, exactly in the shape of a pear, and of a lovely shade, resembling a lump of light brown sugar. Where the stem should be is a perfect likeness of Chris¬ topher Columbus, even to the frill at his neck. The face is very small, but perfect in outline. The Boston Advertiser states that the profits of the sugar trust last year on the whole capital in¬ vested was between 2a and 50 per cent. When it is remembered that a great part of this capital is dead, being sunk in refineries which the trust owns but does op¬ erate, it will be understood what a vast advantage the tariff gives the trust over men engaged in other industries. It certainly is not right that the owners of the closed refineries should be enabled by law to draw 25 to 50 per cent, on * capital that is not earning a cent. On the Georgia road the other day, there was a fatherly, dignifi¬ ed man, accompanied by a good looking daughter. In the seat ahead was a stranger with two gripsacks. After a silence of an hour, the stranger turned around and offered the girl ft magazine. She hesitated, and the father slowly reached around, pulled .out it revolver and laid it on his .knee, and continued reading. The stranger deliberately readied over and seized the revolver, took a screwdriver from his pocket and unscrewed the hammer and throw it out'the window, and then with one hand he replaced the weapon on the father's knee and with the other he dropped the magazine into the girl's lap. Mayor Glenn is getting all of the city departments of Atlanta afraid of him. He dropped in on the police commission and ex¬ ploded a live bomb which startled that body out of its usual compo¬ sure and will cause them hereafter to keep a watchful eye on his hon¬ or. During the meeting the may¬ or was examiug tlie chief's pistol, which he thought, of course, was not loaded. The pistol went off, and only the kind providence which watches over Atlanta pre¬ vented a vacancy iu the commis¬ sion, or in the office of chief. As soon as the commission got its breath a vigorous break was made iu the direction of retrenchment and reform by reducing the city prisoners to two meals a day. 11ns will effect tho great saving to the city of 7 cents per meal, while 1 it, nil on,\ piiu li its prisoners a 1 ____ The example of the New York legislature in providing for executions by electricity has not been without effect. A similar law has been passed in Ohio, and bills are peudiug in the legisla Would it not be well for other states to await the result of the New York experiment before moving in this matter? Some of the scenes which frequently attend executions by hanging are demor aliziug in the highest degree, but! they can perhaps be prevented by inflictin° w-A'' ^ t ie me tav: ^°^ that °i The Btate Agricultural Society is fortunate in having such a man as Hon. W. J. Northern at its head. He is not only a successful practi¬ cal farmer, but he is progressive in his views on oilier questions be¬ sides agriculture. His address to the recent State Agricultural con¬ vention was one of the most nota¬ ble speeches ever made before that body. The first daily newspaper pub¬ lished in America by a colored man is issed at Columbus, Ga. Its ed¬ itor is B. T. Harvey, a graduate of the Tuskegee Normal School at Tuskegee, Ala. A farmer in Fulton county, ac cording to the Atlanta Journal, has had several pair of socks and a pair of gloves made from hair of liis head, which is like the wool of a sheep than thing else. It is soft and and curls but little, and of a color, The people of Georgia have called a road congress to meet in Atlanta on May 22. Good roads are a sad necessity in this State. The road congress will be an event in Georgia next spring. Mr. Phil Dodd, one of the lead¬ ing Alabama street merchants of Atlanta is an inveterate ten-pin roller, and the only pocket money he spends is for this amusement. “It's my pin money," is a joke that he never fails to get off when an opportunity presents itself. Ev¬ ery day Mr. Dodd goes to the bookkeeper in his store and draws one dollar—no more, no less—and takes this to Ponce de Leon Springs and blows it in on ten pins. If there is no friend there to roll with him he rolls with the gamekeeper. A good many of the newspapers of the country comment favorably on the call for a road congress for this state. It is hoped that the idea will be as favorably received in Georgia as r^it of Georgia. Mr. Ingalls' state, Kansas, needs to be civilized. The Kansas coun¬ ty seat wars, which break out at intervals, show this. In fact it was shown very forcibly the other day, when the suite legislature re¬ ceived a petition asking for power to mob horse thieves whenever found in that state. As soon as Senator Ingalls declares the re¬ sult of the presidential election he ought to go to Kansas and ex¬ postulate with the heavy republi¬ can majority of that state. He might prevent them from becom¬ ing utter barbarians. Another subject that should be considered by the congress is that of the stock law. One of the greatest drawbacks to the farmers is that they are compelled to fence in their crops. If the general as¬ sembly could be induced to pass a state law requiring stock to be fenced in, the condition ojf the far¬ mers would soon be greatly im¬ proved. Such a law has been in operation in South Carolina for the last five years, and experience shows that it means larger crops and better stock at less cost. Quite a number of counties iu Georgia have adopted the stock law, and they are greatly pleased with it. Good roads and the stock law go hand in hand. They are iu the line of progress, and if adopted in this state they will make farming more profitable and the state more prosperous. A young pigeon got into the Atlanta jail last Friday in some unaccountable way, and the negro prisoners went wild over it. Fi oue of t}iem captured it, and Jailer Osborn offered him 50cents for it. “N^hw, sail,” rejilied the U C ll tlU " ct h 1 , 0 , > ‘ l E- u with" The workl-wide reputation of Year's Sars.-qiariila is the natural Jc^nlt of its surpassing value as a blood medicine.

Hon. W. J. Northen. In speaking of Col. Northen's address the Constitution of last week has this to say: It is understood that Mr. Nor then will be in the race for gov¬ ernor next year. His speech is an admirable platform on which to run. It is broad, statesmanlike, patriotic—and, what is unusual with platforms, it is practical and full of common sense. Politicians may talk about the danger of electing a class candidate, but no barm can come to the state, and no lessening to its dignity to elect any man governor who writes and speaks as the author of this address. We do not intend to deprecate in this hearty and cordial praise of Mr. Northen's address the claims of any other candidate for governor, or to suggest our own preference in the matter. These are practical times, and demand practical statesmen. Mr. Northen has, consciously or unconsciously, formulated the platform on which he will go before the people—a thoughtful, earnest, painstaking study of the farming problem, and a determination to find the rem¬ edy, and, as far as the state's power will go, to apply it. That’s a good platform! It will be well for Georgia if all the other candi¬ dates will formulate and stand on one so practical, so sensible, and addressed to so crying and press¬ ing a need. We shall be glad to bear from the other candidates. In the meantime, it may be re¬ marked that Mr. Northen's address will commend itsolf to thousands and thousands of citizens outside of the ranks of farmers—who re¬ cognize in the problem he is deal¬ ing with, the most important prob¬ lem of the day. “I have used Ayer’s Pills for the past 30 years, and am satisfied I should not be alive today if it had not been for them. They cured me of dyspepsia when all other remedies failed.”—T.P. Bon uey, Cliester, Pa. Ayer’s Pills are sold by all druggists. McELHEO WINE Of CABOUI tor Weak Nerve*. The Washington Post has in¬ vited its unmarried female readers to answer the question, “What kind of a husband do you want?” The answer will depend a good deal on tlie ages of the writers. For instance, the girl of 16 will want a handsome, wealthy, avis tooratio and witty husband, and she will announce that no other kind need apply; the young lady of 20 will want one of the same kind, but she will not limit the applicants to that class; the young lady of 25 will be satisfied with a sensible, provident husband, whether he is handsome, wealthy, aristocratic and witty, or not; and the women of 30 to 35 will very likely indicate a partially for widowers with or without children. The House Wednesday decided that Representative Elliott, of the Seventh South Carolina district, was elected. The decision was in accordance with the facts. It is probable that Smalls did not ex¬ pect it to be in his favor, but made the contest with the hope that an appropriation would be made for him that would compensate him for his trouble.

Secretary Hardeman, of the commission on furnishing the new capito], has let out the contract to fit up -the vault in the treasury to the Hall Safe Company, of Cincin¬ nati, for $9,000. The power to contract for the fitting up of the vault was delegated to Secreta¬ ry Hardeman by the commission. He has made the best possible ar i-angement to have the work done properly at the lowest possible cost. Col. Hardeman has sent ou 1 over 209 copies of specifications for furnishing the building since adjournment of the comm s Sion. The outlook is that tlie lid ders wiU be numerous.
