The eulogists of Mr. Blaine .e

It originated in the remark of a

Sewing women in Oew York ate
making shirts at seventeen cents
apiece. That is at the rate of five
hundred stitches for a cent. Tom
Hood’s “Wong of the Shirt” docs
not d« justice to the case. Its
ideal picture of wretchedness is
the rful compared to some scenes
in New York.
During the month of May 155
more bachelors than married men
were arrested in Cleveland, 0. The
hud w tecs the Leader to say that
“matrimony and morality begin
with the same letter.” The Boston
Commonwealth adds: “Misery,
too, for that matter.” Why omit
millinery?

The Savannah, Florida and Wes¬
tern railroad is soon to relay its line
with aixty-five-pound steel rails, in
preparation for a fast limited ex¬
press between New York and Jack¬
sonville, which will be put on in the
fall. The run w ill be made in thir¬
ty hours, with only the necessary
stops.
A young lady said at the reeeht
meeting of the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union in Savannah:
“Chivalry, which has fled from all
Pfcher quarters, has taken refuge in
the newspaper offices.” It is un¬
necessary to state that this young
lady is the prettiest and brightest
representative of her sex in Georgia.
Gov. Gordon had the misfortune
<0 offend a large number of young
ladies during his recent visit to
Nashville. At a reception he shook
Lands with all the young ladies
present except one. The exception
said to be the most beautiful of all,
he kissed. The others wanted to
be kissed, too.
The national democratic conven¬
tion of 1888 will consist of 820 del¬
egates, divided as follows: The
New England states, 76; the middle
fitries, 150; the southern statos,
306; the western states, 242; the
Pacific states, 28 ; the territories and
the District of Columbia, 18. The
two-thirds rule obtains in the grand
caucus of the democracy, and the
man who will be nominated will
have to get, therefore, 647 votes.
Commenting on the statement of
a Georgia paper that there are 100,
<MX) loafers in the State, the llart
ford Times says: Almost every
ether State can show a like propor¬
tion. People seem to l>e rapidly
coming to the conclusion that the
world owes them a living, and that
they mean, in the language of llen
ry George’s spontet’s to ‘take it’—
-vithout work. The aborigines had
a similar idea, and considered work
degrading. But they played
ed the loafers will be.” The Times

incontrovertible proverb.”
It may not be generally known
that the word "honeymoon” is de¬
rived from the ancient Tuetons,
and means drinking for thirty days
after marriage of metheglin, mead
or hydromel, a kind of wine made
from honey 7 . Altila, a celebrated
king of the Runs, who boasted of
the appellation, “The Scourge of
God,” is said to have died on his
nuptial night from an uncommon
effusion of blood, brought on by
indulging too freely in hydromel at
his wedding feast. The term “hon¬
eymoon” now signifies the first
month after marriage, or so much
of it as is spent at home. John To¬
bin, in “The Honeymoon,” thus re¬
fers to it:
This truth is manifest—a gentie wife
Is still tho sterling comfort of a man’s life;
To fools a torment, but a lasting boon
To those who wiseiy iceep their honeymoon
Arrangements are perfected to
open the Oconee Sulphur Springs
on June 15. This is one of the
most popular resorts in the South,
and enjoys a well deserved reputa¬
tion in the State. The manage¬
ment will spare no effort to make
the season attractive.
The Marietta and North Georg,a
railroad will be built to Atlanta.
The guage will be made standard.
The road has been consolidated
with the Georgia and north Caroli¬
na railroad.
It is said that Ty-Ty was once
called “Tight-eyo,”and that it was
one of the hardest towns in Sout h
Georgia; but now the name has
been changed, and the town is quite
different.
It was rumored on Wall atreet
the other day that Jay Gould was
dead. The rumor was false, but it
is said that Gould’s health is very
bad. He doubtless begins to real¬
ize that a time is coming when all
his millions can be of no service to
him.
“Skin the Devil” is the name of
tho latest Salvation Army song.
When sung by Happy Jack, Sin
Smasher Tom, Hallelujah Sal, and
Babe-in-the-Manger Mary it is said
to be very effective.
It is now expected that the Geor¬
gia Midland will be completed to
Griffin between the 15th and 20th
of this month.
Col. J. A. Fouche, of the Hawk
