Saturday, March 30, 1895. If eggs tumble there is a break in the market. It is said that tho McKinley program is to drop the negro. The saddle mare of Queen Victoria is 26 years old. The Queen has not lidden the ani¬ mal in throe years. The Spanish soldiers dislike Bervice in Cuba for the reason they fear bullets and yellow le¬ ver, one,of which they catch. Robert Bonner and Frank "Work are two New York mil¬ lionaires, who spend their wealth ou lacing i.nd trotting horses. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, thinks it is the wish of the ne¬ groes lo go to Africa—that the lime-will sot bs many years when the government will help them off. It is said that a Western man who was invited to a scat on the floor of tho House at Wash¬ ington, flatly refused saying that he was accuBtomed to sit - ting in a chair at home. Gov. McKiuley has canvassed ill the South, and will soon make a tour in the West, His cam paigu is systematic, aud we wil not be surprised if he woiks the giraffe ou Tom Reed, yet, and Becures tho republican nomina¬ tion in '96. Dr. Winchester, of tlie Third Baptist church, Atlanta, gives in tlie Index some facts about Slattery, liis statements ueserve the respect of tlie Christian yrorltj. He claims that the ex Priest is siucere and desires to do good ih exposing the errors of Roman Catholicism. It is the advice of every oody to tt eir friends that it is out of place to cry hard limes. Well, suppose that bargain is made as a mitter of experiment. Let merchants and others advertise as iu days gone and help to put a business like face before the people, aud we believe the ef¬ fect would be good and the re suit satisfactory. xtev. J.F. Edens, who writes the “Field Notes” for the Christ¬ ian Index, makes a mistake when he says that the Baptists of Eaton ton ha\ e beeu wor shaping in the old Union church forty years. The buildiug was put up in IS 19. Since that time all the denominations worship¬ ped there until 1850, when the Methodists withdrew and built their own house. The Baptists have worshipped in the old house 76 years, aud the est revival Georgia ever neseed had its b^giniug in this dear old church, if we mistake not. The worshipping together fc*-"-,****:!*-?- deep chnstian spirit, did not in terfervvith an «d revival. THE PERILS OF RICHES. A few Sundays ago I he subject of the lesson was “The Rich Young Ruler,” the design of which was to teach the perils of riches. We do not propose to discuss the lesson, or comment upon the conduct of the young ruler, but to indulge a few reflections up¬ on the apparent greed in this day to gain riches or to get money. The rich feel it their dutr to strive to accurnalate and hoard away greater riches in order to satisfy an incatiate thirst which seems beyond control. They stand in awe for fear their hold will be lost and that they will he placed in the role of a beggar. It is proper for them to be cautious and to act wisely in maintaiug a com¬ mendable economy in the man¬ agement of tilt ir estates of land, stocks and securities, but there is a danger line—we may say two—the one over which they step places them on the side of penuriousness, selfishness and hard heartedness, immovable to¬ wards the deeds of charity, or even the words of comfort to¬ wards their fellowmen in want and distress. The other places them beyond tho cries of the suffering and lends them on to self-induJgenco, extravagance, voluptuousness and dissipation, holding high carnival with companions of like passions and tastes. The one is illustrated in the man of wealth, who holds his gold as in a vice, denying him¬ self of the comforts of life, and turning a deaf ear to the wants of those around him. The oth¬ er is demonstrated in high life by the gratification of every de¬ sire, the satisfying of every whim, having so much of this world’s goods that there can be found not enough upon which to expend his ill gotten gains. The one is in perils of unrest and misery because of a dwarfed heart, being consumed by the fires of stinginess and greed. The other is in perils of unhap¬ piness because of extravagance and prodigality, condemned by his own conscience and unwar¬ ranted by the laws of God. These are they who are in the perils of riches, Which fail to give happiness in this life, aud which give no assurance of eternal life. But there are those on the other extreme, who, too, may be said to be in the perils of riches, though they be in the rags of poverty. Necessity forces such to work, toil and clamor for the almighty dollar, so much so that they forget their relationship and duty to their fellows. They go in for¬ bidden paths, seeking some¬ thing to drown their thoughts of poverty, or veuture in their eagerness after that to which they have no right. They have placed themselves in the same condemnation with the rich in seeking after the almighty dol¬ lar for the gratification of an in¬ ordinate desire. But still an¬ other class—more commenda¬ ble—eager for the dollar only for the sustenance of life and to do good to others. They recog¬ nize the necessity for money, and yet can see how and when to use it for their own comfort and for benefactions in their communities . These are they who are not in perils, but have 1 free spirits, and will in the end receive the welcome plaudit, tertSr? “1 hou faithful serv ant etc. It . | lonegt jjeart but glorious to be uoble , generous and honest in : - an,- .ration in We. Iu the history of the 'nineteenth con - tnry there is nothing more remarkable than the uninterrupted series of land and naval victories Japan has won from China. The era of the long distance electric railway ivas already begun. From Val¬ paraiso to Chicago is a good stretch. An electric railway will be running be¬ tween those cities soon. Too much wheat growing in the north, too mncli cotton growing in the aouth, will necessitate a change in the agricultural programmo of those sec¬ tions if farmers expect to prosper. Not altogether wrong are they either. Only for this American instinct of going away from the old nost and bettering things tho country would not have been •ettlod and civilized with the amazing rapidity it has been. „ A. B. Shcpporson, editor of Cotton Facts, thinks the southern farmers have given too much attention to cotton rais¬ ing. His summing up of the duty now before them is a good one. They should raise on their farms, he says, all man¬ ner of food products, fruits, etc., and keep cotton as a surplus or money crop. That is to say, they should raise their food at home and make their money off cotton. There is ono thing we can say in the United States from this day on. It is that no queen or empress was ever wed¬ ded with more costly splendor than the youngest daughter of the late Jay Gould was. The cost of the floral decorations was not equaled in Russia when Prin¬ cess Aiix married the czar. The lavish display which empires and kingdoms buILt: ,ze for their rulers on festal oc¬ casions was in some respects excelled by that indulged in by on American pri¬ vate citizen. It is claimed now that Koch’s tuber¬ culin hypodermically administered will onre insanity. The tuberculin raises a fever in the insane patient After it has subdued tho patient is no longer so crazy as he was. After a few treatments he is oured and in his right nind. This does not sound as though itconJd be true, al¬ though Professor Wagner of Vienna university says it is. If it should turn out to be true, however, perhaps tuber onlin might also do something for cranks and those American women who are so insane on the point of marrying foreign rakes of so called noble blood. The New York Sun is in favor of re¬ establishing the institution of tho whip¬ ping post for ‘ ‘men brutes. ’ ’ It heartily approves the addition to the state penal code of laws fixing punishment by the lash for criminals whose misdemeanor consists in the "infliction of physical pain or suffering ou the person of an other." That is the way the proposed addition to the peual laws of Now York puts it. Under this provision "men brutes” who half kill their , wives, children or other* of their fel¬ low creatures by beating or violence of any kind may be brought to a real¬ izing sense of their vilonoss by a taste of physical suffering on their own persons. The flogging proposod by tho New York act is to consist of not more than 40 lashes administered upon the bare warden back in and a prison physician and only. in presence This of is J j a well. There will be uo demoralizing public whipping post exhibitions. Ruf¬ fians soon are accustomed to imprison¬ ment and do not mind it But the tough¬ est brute in human shape could scarce¬ ly become so accustomed to flogging upon the bare back as not to writhe un¬ der it One lesson of this sort would last even a drunken wifo boater a long time. There seems to be a growing pub¬ lic sentiment in favor of the rehabilita¬ tion of the whipping post. Public interest was divided the week of the Gonld wedding between that and another event—namely, the Van¬ derbilt divorce. Onr leading million¬ aire families, whatever else their sins and shortcomings, have been thus far singularly free from domestic scandals. In that respect they were a model to their fellow countrymen, But now the record is broken in both the Van¬ derbilt and Astor families. At the same time that the divorce of Mra. William K. Vanderbilt from her hus¬ band is granted the petition of J. Coleman Drayton for divorce from hi* wife, Caroline Astor Drayton, is in conrt, as well as her cross petition against him. All right minded people must regret these suits. Divorce is justi¬ fiable and necessary at times, but it ought not to be either justifiable or necessary in families that have all that earth can afford to make them happy a* well as honorable and clean moral¬ ly. People with the millions and the social standing of the Asters and Van¬ derbilts ought to hold it incumbent on themselves to set a respectable example to the world. And whatever any crank may say the highest and best develop ment cf society thus far is the family “ T tg f^HyS wh3tever is best in social progress. - OWPS IROh BITTERS 1 i 1 J V m 75 m |P KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and Hghtlyusei^ t ThMan^^HYe™ ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by b£st more products promptly I adapting the world’s to hie needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of embra the pure ' ed in liquid the i axat ive principle8 of Figs. remedy, Its excellence Syrup is due to its presenting in the form most the acceptable refreshing and and pleas¬ truly ant to the taste, beneficial properties of a perfect lax¬ ative ; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers ana permanently curing constipation. millions and It has given satisfaction to met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid¬ neys, Liver and Bowels without weak¬ ening them and it i3 perfectly free from every objectionable of Figs is for substance. sate by all drug¬ Syrup in and $1 bottle^hut it is gists 50c man¬ ufactured by the California printed Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is on every package, also the informed, name, Syrup will of Figs, and being well you not accept any substitute if ottered.
