An exchange asks why Judge
Atkinson hasten to have the
people understand he is not re¬
lated to the governor? It is
true the Judge and the gover¬
nor are no kin by blood, but
politically they may -be classed
as twin brothers, in the opinion

A legal question is about to
be raised.over the case of Tom
Brown, a Macon tailor who is
confined in the lunatic asylum
at Milledgeville, but who has
asked the British government
to rescue him from the asylum,
on the ground that he is unjust¬
ly imprisoned and has never
taken naturalization papers in
this country, aud is still a Brit

at Charleston has begun an in¬
vestigation, and finds that Mr.
Brown is a subject of the mother
country, as lie claims.
“Yankee Doodle” is a stirring

The Americas Herald declares
that the peanut, popgun and,pos

yell all they please, but the or¬

they will see to it that the of.

“The length of the lunar
