Seventeen counties in the States ot North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, are piling in their glorious exhibits at a rate that ensnres the greatest agricultur¬ al and mineral show ever seen in the South. The merchants and manufacturers of Atlanta are on their metal, and with honor and pestage at stake the exhibits in this line will be bewild¬ ering in beauty and in suggestions of utility. And all these attractions, with other innumerable ones minor im¬ port, and the magnetism of the great crowds, and the eloquence of some of the greatest Statesmen and Orators of the Republic, may be seen and heard fora single half dol lar. Tbe Exposition opens on October 19th. and continues until November 7th. The fare on all the Railroads is one cent a mile, and here are the dates of the special days: Grady day—October 21st and 22d Drummers’ day—October 23d. Veteranr day—October 29th. Alliance day-Nov. 3d and 4t,b. Fare on all Railroads one cent a mile Did you ever notice how idi¬ otic tlie smile of a pretty girl is —when it is directed towards some one else? Why should officials spend thousands shooting dynamite balloons, when any ordinary teamster can draw rein? Charater is like the grand old cathedral bell. Reputation is the brass tintinnabulum of the loudmouthen auctioneer. flie doctrine of “like cures like” is illustrated by the fact that when people tire, the best thing they can do is to retire. A career of extravagance does not necessarily bring a man such cloth, but it is more than likely to bring him to hasher. Another curiosity comes to the front at Athens in the shape of a negro woman who has six distinct fingers on one hand. Her sixth finger is a projection next to the little finger and is perfectly formed. The cheapest clothind in America at D. N. Hudsons & Son’s.

Beautiful words never spoken. Whispers of cheer that might save Hearts drifting, weary and broken, Down to the night of the grave. Silence more deadly than passion. Glances that slander can send, Fram’d in the world’s deviiish fashion. To murder the heart of a friend. Looks, spotless virtue impeaching. Souls lying crush’d on the plain. With tear frozen eyelids beseeching The touch of love’s sunlight again. Burdens to bear for the weaker, Jewels to dig from God’s mine; And gems, fairer still, to the seeker In the angels’ tiara that shine. Within us the soul’s silent treasure Waiting the kiss of the light; Sweet scented blossoms of pleasure Our fingers may cull from the night. Fruit shining ripe on toil’s mountains. Pearls that sleep under life’s sea; Music in God’s laughing fountains Undream’d of by you or by me. Larks singing down in love’s meadow. Throstles that pipe by the hill; Out of time’s darkness and shadow, Whispefs that comfort and thrill. Voices within ever singing. Melody soften’d by tears. The phoenix of hope at last springing Serene from the ashes of years. —J. ft. Parke in Detroit Free Press. Greeley Before tlie Ciimen. Horace Greeley dreaded the camera more than any man I ever sa w. He was brought to my studio by Whitelaw Reid and Sam Sinclair, famous in his day as one of the great workers on The Tribune. The great editor had just been nomi¬ nated for the presidency of the United States. He came into my studio with an armful of papers, threw himself care¬ lessly in the chair, adjusted his glasses, turned to the editorial page of The Trib¬ une, began reading one of his own ar¬ ticles, and, without raising his eyes to me, said, “Fire away!” He had a great armful of papers, which he threw on tlie floor at his feet. When I was ready to take the picture I posed him properly and made a very good impression. I took him in several positions, and I no¬ ticed that every time there was a mo¬ ment’s delay with the camera he picked up his papers and began reading with avidity. At the same time I took a group por¬ trait of Greeley, with Whitelaw Reid on one side and Sinclair on the other. I doubt if any of those pictures are in ex¬ istence. But the photograph then made at the first sitting of Greeley alone is the one generally accepted as the best like¬ ness. 1 have in my possession a letter from him acknowledging the receipt of the pictures—at least I suppose that i3 what it does, for it has taxed the ability of experts in chirography to decipher it. I regard it, however, as a pleasant me¬ mento of the great journalist and states¬ man.—A. Eogardus in Ladies’ Home Journal. The Prince of Wales’ Debts. The exact financial position of the Prince of Wales is not known. There have been rumors that he is greatly in debt, but I question their correctness. When the prince came of age he became possessed of the accumulations realized during his minority from the Duchy of Cornwall. A portion of them was ex¬ pended in the purchase of the Sandring¬ ham estate, and the remainder became his. With this nest egg, with an income of £110,600 pounds per annum, one of £10,000 for his wife, a separate provision for his children, and with Marlborough House kept up for him at the public cost there seems no reason why his expend¬ iture should outrun his means. His hos¬ pitalities are not greater than those of the French president, w’ho, with less than half his income, does not get into debt.—Henry Labouchere in Forum. An Approach to Aerial Navigation. Of course I hope to succeed, and from the data obtained from experiments, and from the information I have obtained from other sources, it seems almost cer¬ tain that I shall do so. Still I may not. It may, howeyer, be remarked that for many years engineers and scientists have admitted that the navigation of the air is certain to come so soon as a motor could be discovered which had sufficient energy in proportion to its weight. This motor has been found, its power has been tested and its weight is known. It would therefore appear that we are within measurable distance of a success¬ ful machine for navigating tbe air, and I believe it is certain to come within the next ten years, whether I succeed or not. —Hiram S.

Souckeliff is the leader of a sect in Russia necessity which preaches for salvation. suicide as At an ab- j j solute one ! of his great “revivals” in Kief he preached so hard in favor of murder and suicide that several of his followers cut one another’s throats. There are dozens of other fanatical religious bodies in the empire of the czar, many of whom prac lice blood curdling sacrificial otremo nies.—8t. Louis Republic. Price per Year, § LOO Bones’ Duck. Bones was a shaggy, tat skye terrier with a snort tail. Just why these scrub¬ by looking skye terriers always find lux¬ urious homes and fond admirers I don’t know, but they seem to do it. Bones was no exception. He was the house¬ hold pet. Every member of the family cuddled and kissed him, and lie returned their affection with equal ardor. When any one came heme after a short absence, Bones showed extravagant de¬ light, and his demonstrations were usually rewarded with candy or cake. He had a trick of catching up any small object which came handy, and bringing it to lay at the returned one’s feet, as if to display the generosity of his heart Sometimes he overshot the mark like the rest of us. One day the lady of the house returned, and Bones, dashing out to find some token of affection to present her, fell over three unfortunate little ducks walk¬ ing primly behind their mamma. He caught one up in his mouth and with joyful haste rushed back to the parlor. Poor duck I Poor Bones! The duck struggled. Bones took a firmer grip. The duck struggled harder. Bones gave s hurried gulp, and, to his own dismay as well as to the duck’s, the duck went down Bones’ throat and never came up again. The shout of laughter which greeted his exploit was too much for Bones. He ran out faster than he came in. His stomach and his conscience both trou¬ bled him for long after. It was only necessary to say, “Duck, Bones!” to see him slink away with the funniest ex¬ pression of doggish shame, caused by the remembrance of his unintentional dinner.—Harper’s Young People. Oriental Students in London. The superior orientals in London are almost exclusively from India, except such as represent diplomacy; and they include two classes—men of business and students. The former are few, but rep¬ resent very large commercial interests. The latter number about 200. They have their headquarters at the North¬ brook club in Whitehall Gardens, of which the majority are members. The practice of sending young Indians to study in England is increasing. They come from all parts of India arid include Mahommedans, Flindoos and Parsees. The luxury of a European education is not to be had for nothing, and as a mat¬ ter of course only men of means can in¬ dulge in it. These young fellows are, as a rule, ex¬ tremely intelligent, with charming man¬ ners, and they speak English admirably —far better than most European for¬ eigners who have lived for many years in England. They study law and medicine in London; but some go to Cooper’s Hill for the engineering service and others to Cirencester for agriculture. The English universities, and Edinburgh also, have their contingent. In nearly all cases they go hack to practice in India, but of late a tendency to settle here has been visible. The only other eastern country which occasionally sends us a similar class is Japan.—St. James’ Budget. The Value of a Racehorse. The sum of £15,000 paid by Mr. Blun¬ dell Maple to Lord Alington and Sir F. Johnstone as the purchase money of Common is the highest price ever paid in England for a horse. It is commonly re¬ ported that the Duke of Westminster received a larger sum for Ormonde from South America, though £12,000 was prob¬ ably nearer the price. Moreover, Signor Ginistrelli was offered £20,000 for Sig norina, and the Duke of Portland a still higher price for Donovan, but in these cases the offers were refused. When the Duke of Westminster paid £14,000 for Doncaster—the highest price given in England for a race horse before Common was sold—people were almost shocked at his temerity and extrava¬ gance, and yet it has been calculated that the duke made a net profit of £160, 000 out of the transaction. Sires of known merit such as St. Simon, Hermit and Isonomy are gold mines to their fortunate owners, and in these days of excessive turf competition a horse tvho has run well but has j T et a reputation to make at the stud will bring in thousands before he has proved either a success or a failure.—London Tit-Bits. His Protest was Effective. A citizen of Paris, Ky., who was fined seven dollars for allowing his own cat on his own premises to kill his own chick¬ ens, protested so vehemently against this interference with a man’s enjoy ment of an inalienable right that the judge, per force, remitted the penalty, —Louisville Courier-Journal. - Water, it should be known, can easily be kex>t cool without ice by infolding the earthen pitcher or jar which receives j I it in three folds of efttton or linen cloth * kept constantly wet ABMMSTMOTS SALE.
