SOLID SOUTH. JOHN R MADDOX. Kditor,___ SATURDAY - - AUG 21, 1886. A famous race horse is named “Little Brown Jug.” He is always lull of spirit. The trial of Dr. Woodrow, at Beth any, resulted in the acquittal ot the doctor on both counts. An appeal will be taken to the synod at Sparta next October. The monumental fool of the Uni ted States is James Scully, of New York. He gave his sixteen months old baby whisky until the little one toppled over drunk. His wife pro¬ tested and he tried to cut her throat. The late Judge Linton Stephens, on tiie death of his faithful and his torie dog, “Rio,” so long the pet of Liberty Hall, then tlie home of the great commoner, Alexander H. Stephens, prepared the following epitaph: “Rio.’ “Here lies the re¬ mains of what in life was a satire on the human race and an honor to his own, a faithful dog.” There will lie no war. If tlie time conies when it is necessary to teach the Mexicans a lesson, Uncle Sam will merely take a grip in the slack of tlie Greasers’ picturesque unmen tionnbles and make them “walk Spanish” for the amusement of the sister republics. This will be suf ficient.—Macon Telegraph. It is announced that Mr. Blaine is preparing for an assault on tlie ad ministration with regard to the way the Cutting ease lias been conducted. Probably this announcement who comes from some correspondent Doubtless was in want of a sensation. Mr. Blaine thinks that lie could man¬ age the Cutting case much better than Mr. Bayard is doing, but it is hardly probable that he is going to say so. Atlanta is in a perpetual row over the liquor question if the corres¬ pondents at that Hawthorne’s place arc to “Con be re¬ lied upon. Dr. flict” is throwing hot shot into some of the champions of the little brown jug. It is hard to tell how the war will end but still tlie fighting goes bravely on. The Macon Telegraph ought to advise Captain Whack Bai¬ ley to rush out on the desperado. - - - -» .... A society is about to be formed in Brooklyn, N. Y., to remove the fear in the minds of ninny of being buried uiive. In the suburbs edifices will be erected fashioned to hold a large number of coffins. In these recepta¬ cles the coffins w ill be ranged about with open lids, and will remain in the receptacles until the bodies they contain show signs of life or are prov¬ ed by decay to lie dead. Means will be provided so that if a person in any of the coffins should bo alive he could communicate by speaking tube or telephone to ami attendant, and receive the proper aid. There is a man living not far from Gibson who is well supplied with teeth. In his upper jaw are two dis¬ tinct and complete sets, the one be¬ ing just back of tlie other. The ex¬ tra set is composed of teeth as large and as well termed as the others, and is used in masticating lood pre¬ cisely as the first set is. The siqier fluotis teeth are of no disadvantage to him except in talking, his speech being rendered a little indistinct by them. Such a dental arrangement is somewhat peculiar and unusual, to say the least of it. Will M. Clemens, in the Detroit Free Tress, makes disclosures start¬ ling to readers, but encouraging to writers whose manuscripts have been declined with thanks. I he most surprising statement is that Thomas Carlyle’s famous book, “Sar¬ tor Rcsartus,” could find no publish¬ er in London, and was first issued by a Boston house through the kind offices of Emerson. “The Soug of the Shirt” was published in London Punch, after so many rejections that Thomas Hood requested the editor of Punch to throw it in the wastebas¬ ket if he could not accept it. Mrs Stowe's “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” ap¬ peal’d as a serial and wuis not thought worthy to be issued in book form. The publisher’s wife persuaded him to issue the story in a book all the world has read. Miss Augusta Ev¬ an's Beulah was rejected by half a dozen houses before the Carletons accepted it. Mark Twain’s “Inno¬ cents Abroad” was rejected by all the leading publishers in New York, Philadelphia and Boston. Mark Twain was about to threw the book in the fire, when a friend rescued it and finally induced a Hartford firm to publish’it. Camp” Bret owed Harte its s admis¬ “Luck of Roaring Overland Monthly the sion to the to good judgment of the publisher’s wife. W. D. Howell’s “Venitian Life” was rejected by the Atlantic Monthly, and first appeared in a newspaper as letters from over the 6ea. It has gone through several editions in book form. Will Carle ton’s ballad “Betsy and I are Out,” reposed in a waste basket till part or it was lost and a new ending had to be composed. “The Burial of Sir John Moore” was first published in A obscure newspaper. SECOND TEEM PRESIDENTS. It is a singular fact that no Ameri can president has ever been re elect ed unless he was a suecessfnl gene ral or belonged to a war party during his administration, or had a hand in the extension of our territory. Washington, Jackson and Grant were military chieftains. Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Lincoln all had a touch of war or annexation during their administrations. Un¬ der Jefierson’s first term an Ameri¬ can navy bombarded the towns and forts of Tripoli, and Louisiana was purchased. In Madison’s first term occurred our second war with Eng¬ land. Monroe’s first term witnessed our purchase of Flordia. Lincoln, of course, was a war president from first to last. So it seems that the favorite Amer¬ ican policy has always been war, wdicn the occasion justified it and extension of territory, wtien the ter¬ ritory was wanted.—Constitution. In Buffalo a young man adver¬ tised for a wife, his sister answered the advertisement, and now the young man thinks there is no balm in advertisements, while the old folks think it’s bard to have two fools in tlie family. A man in Wall street, N. Y.. made $107,000 by speculation, carried it home, took it to bed with him, acci¬ dentally set fire to tlie bed and burned the whole sum. “Is it injurious to cat before going to sleep?” asks a correspondent. Why, no; not fatally injurious, but you just try eating after you go to sleep if you want to see a circus. A writer furnishes the following bit of advice to the New York Sun: “An autograph letter that I would like to own was shown me a few days a »°- “A. Lincoln” was boldly signed at the end of it, and this wis¬ dom was there, paragraphed in this wise: “Do not worry.” meals day.” “Eat three square a “Say your prayers.” wife.” “Think of your “Be courteous to your creditors.” “Keep your digestion good.” “Steer clear of biliousness.” “Exercise.” “Go slow and go easy.” “Maybe there arc other things that your especial case requires to make you happy, but, my friend, these, I reckon, will give you a good lift.” Moncuro I). Conway is going to lecture about “Adam’s Third wife.” He might paraphrase tlie title, for variety, “Some Other Five.” “I wonder,” said a young lady, “Why Hymen is always represented ns carrying a torch.” To which an old bachelor sneeringly responded: “To indicate that he always makes it warm for people who marry.” A facetious reader of the Boston journal calls attention to the fact that Abraham Lincoln made wool free when he issued tlie emancipa¬ tion proclamation. Friction matches may be describ¬ ed as those made without the con sent of the old folks. Probably the youngest j rinter in the State is little Ben, the five year old son of Tom Turner, a typo in the Rome Bulletin office. The little fellow is already familiar with tlie cases, and is rapidly learning to set type. Go!—A Texas school teacher lost tine of his scholars suddenly and unexpectedly. The class was parsing a sentence. “What is the impera¬ tive of the verb to go?” asked tlie teacher. “I dunno.” “Go!” shout ed tlie teacher. “Thank you!” mur¬ mured the lad, as he shot out the door before the teacher could prepare his veto message. “Don’t you believe in a future life, in which wc shall renew the ties that bind us together here?’ “I do,” said the hen pecked husband sadly, “but I dont want to.” The Atlanta Capitol gives Judge Jno. D. Stewart an extended and very commendable notice, every word of which we endorse, but the Capitol should have come to the res cue while the contest was in Fulton county, in which Judge Stewart was practically ignored. We are pleased to learn that Judge Stewart is con lidently expected—almost conceded —will go into the convention wjth a clear majority, and will be the nomi¬ nee from the 5th district for congress. No better man will have been sent from Georgia to the halls of congress, than Hon. Jno. D. Stewart. He is one of the solid men of Georgia, with a well balanced mind, a Lightened, honorable gentleman and a Christian. In honoring Judge Stewart, the 5th district will honor itself!—Jackson News. “This world is full of beat ti ful wo¬ men, but a truly good woman is a rarity,” says theCincinnati Enquirer. The Enquirer will find that even in Cincinnati truly good women out number the beautiful. Forty five divorce suits have been placed on the books Fulton of the cierk of the Superior Court of county for trial at the September term. A great majority of the parties are negroes, but there is an alarmingly large num¬ ber of white men and women among the malcontents. The Pope of Rome has issued his edict against the Knights of Labor. Such organizations are in violation of the doctrines of that church, and the Bishops are directed to proceed against it, A newgnmeofcards is called “mat¬ rimony.” If the man wins he takes the girl; if the girl wins she takes the man.
