Georgia there is put down for $8,752,305, but is about property enough held by the state to square up accounts. The heaviest state debt is that of Virginia, which consist of a fund e d debt of $23,550,696 and an un¬ funded debt of $8,312,247. Mas¬ sachusetts comes next with a debt $51,000,000, and Tennessee is third owing $17,000,000.

The New York Sun accounts truly for the accumulation of this big burden when it says: “This heavy and enormously disproportionate burden is mainly due to the years of misgovernment aud plunder which the South en¬ dured under republican carpet¬ bag rule. That Avas broken up by the efforts of the Southern dem¬ ocrats, aided by the Sun and some other newspapers; and the melan¬ choly period ended forever with the election of Samuel J. Tilden as President of the United States. “It is Avell to remember these things once in a Avhile. The fig¬ ures of the Southern state debts even at the present time remains as a reminder. The wonderful energy and new prosperity of the South is steadily decreasing the mountain of state debts piled up during the eight evil years of Grant and carpet-bag rule.” In cases of Fever and Ague the Wood is as effectually, though not so effluvium dangerously of the poisoned by the ?ould be by atmosphere poison. as it JF- the deadliest J.

Should a young man be care-less of his shoe laces ’tis said that he will be as neglectful of his wife, but in case he laces his shoes very tight he will be attentive, but very stingy towards her.

According to dispatches from Delaware, Mr. Bayard’s political career is not yet over, and it is very easy to believe that it is not Avlien the fact is considered that Air. Bayard is only about 60 years old, is in full possession of bis mental powers, and enjoys excel lent health. The statement is made that he will probably be a candidate for United States sena¬ tor at the next senatorial election in Delaware. There are many people, in different parts of the country, who Avould be glad to see him in the Senate again. Croupy suffocations, night coughs and all the common affec¬ tions of the -throat and lungs quickly relieved by Dr. J. H. McLean’s Tar Wine Lung Balm. The other day Louise Michel, the nihilist, called upon Ainelie Rives in Paris. The southern au¬ thoress is represented as having felt ill at ease in her presence, but she treated her politely. There are some neAvspapers in this coun¬ try which are always ready to misrepresent Mrs. Chanler, and this A'isit furnished them ivitli a pretext for so doing. They now state positively that “Louis Mi¬ chel, tlie nihilist, and Amelie Riv ers have become intimate friends.’ Imperfect digestion and assim¬ ilation produce disordered condi¬ tions of the system which grow and are confirmed by Strengthening neglect, Dr. J.

Tlie losses by fire in tliis coun¬ try in 1888 were nearly $1,000,000 less than in 1887. For some time the average annual loss has been about $110,000,000. It is stated that most of the fires in the south last year were attributed to incen¬ diarism. Probably this is also true with respect to those in the north. AA bile it may not he tiue that most of the fires in this coun¬ try are of incendiary origin, it is a fact that most of them are thought to be.

This is the first one °f these wonderful human ma chines that has ever come to Georgia ready to go to work.' Mr - Peters proposes to use the machine, which is in appearance very much like a sewing machine, n die place of a stenographer, When he wishes to have a letter written lie repeats the letter in ft trumpet-mouthed tube attached to the cylinder, turning the Avheels of the machine as ho talks.

A large number of persons have called to see this graphiplione and to hear it talk like a mam of flesh and blood. You Avill have no use for spec¬ tacles if you use Dr. J. II.

Since it became knoAvn that the republicans had a very slim ma¬ jority in this congress, death has been busier Avith democratic than with republican members. The only members that have died have been democrats. They are three in number: Messrs. Burns of Mis¬ souri, Townslien of Illinois, and Gray of Louisiana. Democrats have been elected to succeed the first two, and as Mr. Gay’s district gave a democratic majority of about 12,000 at the last election, lie will doubtless be succeeded by a democrat. It is a little singular that every death thus far among members should have been of democrats, but the republicans need not argue from that fact that Providence is on their side.

The stage will not be elevated by the addition to it of Mrs. Les lie Carter the young woman who figured so prominently in a di vorce case in Chicago recently. Mrs. Carter came out of court a disgraced woman. She seems to regard that fact as something in her favor as an actress, however, She has no ability for the stage, so far as is known, and she will depend chiefly upon her scanda lous notoriety for financial success. Characters of this kind Avill con tinue to drag down tho stage as long as the people encourage them, A box of Ayer’s Pills has saved many a fit of sickness. When a remedy does not happen to be within reach, people are liable to neglect slight ailments and, of course, if serious illness follows they have to suffer the consequen¬ ces. “A stick in time saves nine.” In many parts of China the Bi¬ bles given to the natives by the missionaries are used in the man¬ ufacture of cheap boot Avhich arc not the kind of souls the Bible is intended to benefit.

AATien he began to recover, white spots showed themselves on one side of his lace and ear and on different parts of his body, which are gradually spreading, and the prospect is that eventually, if he lives long enough, he Avill bscome wholly white. His beard growing out of the spots is Avliite, other¬ wise it is black. The death of a wealthy and ec¬ centric old man at Tyler, Texas, has brought to light a remarkable will.

The legislatures of Massachusetts and Connecticut have appropria ted money for the relief of the Pennsylvanin flood sufferers, the former donating $10,000, and the latter, $25,000. A good woman in Brooklyn committed suicide when she heard that her husband had been arres¬ ted for stealing. The greatest sufferers from crime are not the criminals nor their victims, but tlie families of the law-breakers. THAT TIRED PEELING Afflicts nearly every one in the spring.

Up near Washington, in Wilkes county, there lives an old man of 75 years by the name of Isaac Dickson, avIio last year raised 100 bushels of Irish potatoes and 300 bushels of sweet potatoes off the same acre of ground. He is a hard worker and did all the labor himself. The Avay he did Avas to put in sweet potato slips between the hills of Irish potatoes Avlien the latter Avero about matured, and then as lit: dug the Irish potatoes he would hill up the sweet potato vines. This is a Avouderful yield, though by no means improbable with the cultivation given, and is vouched for by the best citizens of Washington.
