Savannah is preparing to do
great honor to the memory of Ser¬
geant Jasper on the 22d of Februa¬
ry. A monument of the hero will
he unveiled and Governor Gordon
will deliver the oration.
John Lincoln, a kinsman of Pre¬
sident Lincoln, is a pauper in the
Reading, Pa., almshouse, His
grandfather’s name was Abraham
Lincoln. He inherited a large es¬
tate, but bad habits got him into
debt and ruined him.
The colored men of money in
Atlanta are about to start a first
class dry goods store in this city,
because, as they allege, that the
white merchants won’t hire color¬
ed help and patronize colored news¬
papers.
A horrible story comes from Af¬
rica. Two travellers, George and
Annie Moore, were captured by
cannibalistic natives and sent to
the chief of the tribe as a present.
The chief ate George first, and then
remarked with a sigh, “I’ve had
enough, I can’t eat Annie Moore.’
Col. Seaborn Jones owns a slate
quarry situated inside the corpora¬
tion of Rockmart, and if a rich
Northern company now negotiating
for it buys it they will work 250
bands. A thousand hands can be
worked in the slate quarries of
Rockmart,
Ninety years ago a tariff tax of
8 per cent was thought sufficient
for the “protection” of infant in¬
dustries. Now that these same in¬
fants are a century old they are
not satisfied with an average tax of
40 per cent paid for their protec
tion. They must be in their sec¬
ond childhood.
We see it stated that the Primi¬
tive (Hardshell) Baptist church, at
Brushy Creek, Madison county, has
notified those of its members who
voted the prohibition ticket, in flic
late election in that county, to ap¬
pear before the church to answer
why they voted for any such a
thing. We don't know whether the
report is (rue or not. We hope it
is not. But we do know that that
church is very careful as to how its
members deport themselves.—Cov¬
ington Star.
Several months ago tho Atlanta
Constitution served notice on Sen¬
ator Colquitt that ho could not ho
re-elected. It appears that Mr.
Henry W. Grady, one ©f the editors
of that paper, is not in accord with
the opposition to Senator Colquitt.
On the contrary, he is an enthusi¬
astic supporter of tho senator. To
a reporter of the Atlanta Journal
he said a few days ago in reference
to Senator Colquitt: “I supported
him for the Senate five years ago
because I thought he would make
a good senator. He has made a
better senator than I expected, is
potential in tho highest democratic
circles, and I shall support his re
election earnestly and heartily.’
Among the gentlemen proposed
for Chancellor of the State Univer¬
sity to succeed Dr. Moll are the fol¬
lowing: Benjamin Palmer, of New
Orleans, an alumnus of the univer¬
sity—one of the most celebrated
preachers of his day; John Le
Conte, of California, another dis¬
tinguished graduate of the univer¬
sity ; Dr. Geradeon, of South Caro¬
lina; C. C, Jones, of Augusta; Dr.
A. C. II ay good and Gen. Hill, of
Milledgeville; William Leroy
Brown, a former professor : Judge
W. R. Hammond. 01 Atlanta; Prof.
H. C. While, now State Chemist
and Professor of Chemistry in the
university, who has accepted the
presidency of the State Technologi¬
cal School,

Atlanta’s traffic in mules is esti
mated at $1,500,000 per year, An
1 average of twenty-two mules to the
carload is estimated. The season
bfi » inB in November and ends
April 1, although there is a small
trade all through the year. It is
estimated that the receipts during
the five months of this busy season
will average eight car loads per
day, which is equivalent to over
25,000 mules. The mules come
principally from Kentucky and
Tennessee, but some come from
Texas. St. Louis, Indiana, and oth¬
er points. Atlanta is a supply de
pot for North Carolina South Car¬
olina, Virginia, Alabama, Florida
and Georgia, The mules are
brought in train loads and are car¬
ried to the union stock yard, from
which place they are distributed to
the various stables. The bills for
feed for the mules amount to $8,-
200 per week.
The discovery of gas wells in
Chicago is becoming monotonous.
Hardly a day passes but that a new
one is found. Chicago seems to
be made up of gas wells and gas
bags.
A negro waiter, in one of the
Washington hotels, expresses aptly
one of the characteristics that tend
to make Mr. Cleveland popular
“He is a good president,” says be ;
‘•they can’t turn him around.”
That’s it. exactly.
The prince of Wales is always
accompanied by two detectives.
They dress as gentlemen, and are
at his heels. At the theater they
sit at the back of his box, at the
races they stand just behind him,
and it is their business never to
have him out of their sight.
The amount of wages sacrificed
in strikes during 1S87 amounts, at
a low estimate, to thirteen and a
half millions of dollars. This large
amount is a dead loss to labor.
