The Mississippi editors will be in Atlanta on Tuesday. Charles Dawson, the new lord mayor of Dublin, is a home ruler. The French republicans will gain nineteen scats in the election of January. The annual report of the government offi- eers furnish prosy reading for the multitude. The North Georgia conference of the Meth odist Episcopal church south is in session in Athens. _ Miss Ullmann'r bleeding heart is valued at &25.0Q0 in a breach of promise suit against a Kichmdnd beau. A shocking tragedy took place in Harris county the other day in which Dr. Norwood was burned to death. Florida was on the grounds yesterday, where she was greeted by North Carolina, with Georgia as an approving witness. Thf. tori AT convention grew weary yesterday ami adjourned sine die. Every man present had his ax, and was anxious for the grind ing to begin. Colonel Jack Brown has again floated to the surface ns a republican candidate for the door of the house. The caucus will, probably show him the door. A rattle between a goose and an eagle is rciKirtcd from Arkansas, in which the goose was the victor. Ii is not the first time that an eagle was worsted by a goose. The cotton crop of the current year, in the opinion of many New York statisticians, will fall short of 5,000,000 bales. Bradstrect???s esti mate however, places it at 5.014,170 bales. Secretary Hunt, has completed his report. He is not at all satisfied with the hulks left him by his predecessors, and says the navy demands the imperative attention of con gress. The perils of a Chicago boarding house are beyond compare. An infuriated landlord went home tiie other night with a butcher knife, and enforced obedience in a summary manner. A Central railroad passenger train was fired Into Wednesday night near Jonesboro. The authorities should spare neither effort nor money in securing the criminal. Such crimes are peculiarly atrocious. An Italian court passing sentence on two prisoners for -insulting the pope, who does not recognize the authority of either the court or the government behind it, is an an omaly in modern politics. ???Four days of the Atlanta exposition,??? says Governor Blackburn to the Kcntubky legislature, "is worth forty days of lcgisla tion.???

Tax bills were made out largely in excess of the legal assessments, special levies of an illegal character were served upon igno rant tax-payers, and every method was re sorted to by which money could be gotten. The news from So uth America is, as usual full of base intrigue and revolutionary move ments. The arrest of President Calderon, of Peru, by the Chilians, is explained in such a way as to show that he was in the way of some treasonable subordinates, who procured the arrest, and thus put him out of the way. This, however, does not ???relieve United States Minister Hurlburt from blame, as the entire diplomatic corps look upon his conduct as being unprecedented and officious.

The Mississippi Editors???The Grand Dis play Made by all the Exhibitors. Drummers* Day. THE HIGH OI.B TIME THE BOYS UAD YESTERDAY AND LAST NIGHT. Yesterday was a red letter day at Oglethorpe park. The crowd was large and the interest rnani- lested was great. The special features of the day consisted of the convenuon of commercial travelers and the visit of Postmaster-General James and party. At 11 o'clock the commercial traveler* assembled in tiie arcade of the Kimball house, where the badges were distributed and the ??????drummers,??? headed by a brass band, formed into line and pro ceeded to the depot, where the train was boarded for the exposition grounds. Upon arriving at the grounds the line was again formed and the drum mers, to the musi* of the band, proceeded to make a tour of the buildings, commencing with the main dignity of the French minister, who lias re- ^'^???"aubuUdTngaud??? arthail!"^ 0111 theFe *?? orted tiie matter to his government. The narrow gamge railroad is one of the greatest developers of the age. It enables every railroad to place itself in connection with all important points within a day???s reach along its line, thus extending its benefits fifty or seventy-five miles on either side. The ex tent to which these feeders can be made to contribute to the business of the trunk line is simply incalculable. They will penetrate all the hitherto ???dark comers??? of the country, bringing them within the influence of law and civilization, and it is also safe to say that wherever a railroad station is established it will he soon followed by a modest little church, and a schoolhouse filled with neatly- clad pupils. Push the narrow gauge to its limits. There is no Indian war now going on. The fact is, the weather is so cold in the west that the gov ernment agents who are appointed to rob and plun der the red men are compelled to sit by the stove. In the meantime they are mapping out a programme which will stir up the Indians from the British pos sessions to the Kio Grande. In small way, the country has no abler statesmen than tpc agents who plunder the Indians. The New York Tribune wants the republicans to forget that Gorham is the author and inventor of Mahonc. There is nothing left for sensible people to do but to saw wood and say nothing. The cranks hold the balance of power. Rainey, colored, of South Carolina, is a candidate for clerk of the house. When the republicans were in a minority in the house, they showed their love for the negro by voting;unanimously for Rainey. Now that they are in a position to elect Rainey, the organs refuse even to mention the fact that he is a candidate; and if the republicans should sq far for get their prejudices as to mako him clerk, there would be quite a little howl at the north. A retort made fo the New York chamber of commerce commends the railroad commis sion of Georgia, and credits it with having in two years removed many unjust discrimina tions both as regards localities and individ uals. The bank problem has been solved in Kan. sas. The depositors in a broken bank have taken tiie president and cashier from the ofli cere, and are now holding them until they furnish money or blood, it was always bleeding Kansas. The business prosperity of the country on a solid basis, and no amount of croaking can disprove the fact. A heavy trade, car ried on by legitimate methods, attests the growing confidence of tiie people in tiie re sources of their country. A grand consolidation of tiie St. Louis iron mills Is being perfected, in which $5,000,000 capital will be represented. The iron and steel business in the west is very active, ow ing to tiie demand for material for the many new railroad enterprises. Skkor Vicuno, the Chilian ambassador to France, in his circular explaining recent events in Peru, states that Chili showed its ap preciation of the Calderon government, set up by United States Minister Hurlbut, by abolishing it altogether. The track of the Texas Pacific was connect ed with that of the Southern Pacific at six o???clock on Friday evening with interesting ceremonic??, two ladies driving in the last spikes. Tiie ceremonies had to be conducted by the light of bonfires, owing to tiie lateness of the hour at whitfi the work was co-epic- led. Is the annual meeting of the Erie railroad the Jewett ticket was entirely successful. Jewett gained his election by paying the preferred stockholders a long-delayed divi dend ; n consideration of which they gave him their proxies. Jay Gould was apparent ly anxious to win the presidency, but the sharp Ohioan outwitted him. The triangular contest for the reptihlican nomination for the speakership is approach ing a culmination. Mr. Kasson seems to be hacked by the greatest amount of enthusiasm Mr. Hiscock has a well organized and deter mined eastern support, while Mr. Keifer': coterie of newspaper friends are making fran tic efforts to write him into the chair. It is very plain that the real contest is between . Kasson and Hiscock, with the chances greatly in favor of the former. It will be observed liat all the calculations include the green- backets and readjusters as republicans in practice. The preliminary caucus will be held to-morrow. The report of the receiver of taxes to the city council of Philadelphia exhibits the most unparalleled system of frauds ever per petrated upon any municipality. What makes it appear so much the worse is that collusion must have existed, not only between the officers and their employes, but also between the different de artments of the citT government, thus involving in moral The illustrated papers would be glad to get a pho tograph of the next governor of Georgia. We have no time now to remember the color of his eyes and hair, but the general contour of his politics will be democratic???too progressively democratic, perhaps, to suit the ideas of the inflamed critics who wanted to commit suicide because General Sherman visited the exposition. The so-called friends of the Lincoln family at the north have a queer habit ot mixing up scnii-aunual messes for the public. The Lincoln family can well nlford to pray to he delivered from Its friends. The New York Tribune doesn???t know whether to tickle the nico r.ew administration with a feather or knock it on the head with the butt end of th< poker. It is hardly necessary to say that this inde cision doesn???t delay the procession which has been organized toearry ffie banners of Grantisin. Tiie indications are that small-pox is gradually working its way toward the south, and it may hap pen that Atlanta will be compelled to entertain a few cases. Are the city authorities and the board of health prepared for such a contingency? In the language of the poet, a stitch in time will save a h whole pair of pantaloons. Jones's mission in Nevada is to provide his con stituents with Conkling???s post-oflicc address. Jones is not only an accomplished usher, but a first-class bill poster. He is the advance agent of the admin istration, so to speak. The political sky is murky with cranks. They muster up and down the country in herds, and wave the banner of the bloody, shirt. In the midst of all this we would Inquire If the president goes armed? The blood-tax on quinine was bad enongh, but the tax on rice, which is an article of food, is still worse. Still, rather than see the Ogeechec coons fail to get their wages, we are willing to compro mise. We are willing to say no more about it, if the tax is repealed by the present congress. Taking all the circumstances of the outrage into consideration, this is a very fair proposition. The swallow-tail of the Hon. Hannibal Hammer- lin is attracting Immense applause in Spain. The veteran statesman is treated with as much consid eration as if he were the advance agent of a Pina fore troupe. THE POSTMASTER GENERAL, Hh Impression* of the South and the Exposition. Postmaster-General James, with his wife and daughter, have been at the Kim ball hons9 for a dny or two, and yesterday a Constitution man called to find out how he was pleased with his southern trip, and In reply to an inquiry made on this line he said: I am delighted with what I have seen. I was through the south about eight years ago, and I can see how rapidly the people are building up their waste places. It is certaiulv encouraging to any mau that is interested in this government.??? ??????You have visited the exposition???? he asked. ??????Vac tip* nmi \rr?? worn iloliorhtiul TLo rl??? ur Yes, sir; and we were delighted. Thedisplav made there of the mineral wealth of the south is wonderful. Major Fitten, who was our escort with Colonel Terrell, has shown us all around, and we are well posted about Atlanta and the exposition.??? We returned feeling like all we have seen who have visited the exposition, thoroughly enthused with it.??? In further conversation with the postmaster- general and Colonel Thompson, we learned that arrangments are on foot to give fast mail service up the St. Johns river from Jacksonville, Florida to Palatka. Tho appropriation for mail service on tiie Savannah river from Augusta to Savannah has been discontinued. It cost the department six thousand dollars, and only paid about eighty dollars per annum. ???What is needed In the south," said the f>ost- mastcr general, ???to perfect the fast mail service is about twenty-five thousand dollars more per an num. The six thousand dollars saved here is nearly one-fourth of the amount, and I want to see If there is any plan to save the balance. U there is not, then congress should make up the deficiency.??? The postmaster general made particular inquiry about the post-office in Atlanta, its needs and man agement, and was pleased with the report he re ceived of Postmaster Conley's efficiency and promptness. The party left last night for Augusta. MATTERS OF NOTE. _ pon reaching Judges hall the drummers were sealed iu a body and the exercises of the occasion were commenced. The first part of the programme was a concert given by the Estey organ company, under the di rection of Mr. C. M. Cady. Air. camuel Bradley played the beautiful Gate City Guard march, ana at its conclusion was re warded with a shower of applause. Mr. R. B. Toy, general traveling man for the Estey compauy in the southern states, sang, ???Never go Back on a Traveling man.??? He gained an ill eore and sang, ???Call Her Back and Kis3 Her.??? Mr. W. H. Ryan, of Cincinnati, was expected to read a poem, but was late in arriving in. the city and was too much wearied to do so. Mr. A. B. Abenethey, of Richmond, sang ???Davy Jones," and pleased the audience to such a degree that he was encored and sang Kitty Tyrrell. Mr. C. AI. Cady, the Estey organ company's man ager in Atlanta, sang ???Nancy Lee.??? The drum mers were requested to join in the chorus, which they did with spirit. This closed the concert pro gramme. Miss Emma Uahr was expected to be present and favor the drummers with some of her fine piano music, and would have done so had it not been for the fact that she had happened to a painful accident yesterday morning just as she was starting to the exposition grounds. In going down the steps at her home she accidentally lost her footing and fell. When picked up it was found that her right arm was painfully hurt, and it was at first thought to be broken, A surgeon was called in and pronounced the arm not broken, but the in jury was great, and the paiu which Miss Uahr ex perienced was severe. At theconclusion of the concert Mr. Sam W. Small, of The Constitution, the orator of the occasion, was introduced and delivered the address. It would be useless to attempt to give the reader an idea of the charming address that Air. Small made. With only a few hours to prepare himself, he succeeded iu throwing into the address enough of his native, sparkling humor to keen his hearers delightfully entertained, while his references to the noble- hearted actions of commercial men which had come under his observation, o their kindly acts of charity, generous impulses and devotion to duty aud to business brought out round after round of applause. When ihe speech was concluded amid rousing nppluuse and ringing three cheers for "Old Si,??? there was a general opinion that the choice of the orator of the occasion was indeed a most happy one, and that the office had been most satisfactorily filled. At ihe conclusion of Mr. Small's address, Major J. F. Cummings was introduced, and made a short address, welcoming the drummers to Atlanta. The committee on resolutions and constitution then made a report. The resolutions condemned the present tax, which some cities im pose on commercial travelers, and urged Their repeal. The constitution and by-laws for the permanent organization of the as sociation were read and approved. The meeting was then dismissed, and the drum mers proceeded to make a second tour of the buildings and grounds, while the drummers??? band took possession of the band stand and furnished music for the general public. At four o???clock the line was again formed and the drummers boarded the train and returned the city, where thev marched through several streets, passed The Constitution office and saluted it with three cheers, aud soon after broke ranks. Lost night at 7:30 the drummers assembled again at the Kimball house and proceeded to the Willi- mantic linen company???s headquarters on Peachtree street, where Sir. Allison, assisted by Air. Denny, tendered them an elegant reception. The handsome liousewas brilliantly lighted and the genial gentle men who tendered the reception were particularly industrious in making everything pleasant. Every thing wliich-could add to the enjoyment of the oc casion had been provided lavishly, and it is impos sible that any company of gentlemen could have crowded more enjoyment into four hours than marked the time from eight to twelve at the Willi- mantic headquarters last night. The remarks that were made over the punch bowl were sparkling and bright, and evinced the high enjoyment of the S on. Altogether there was never, aud there never have been, a more delightfully pleasant occasion than drummers??? dny, nor a more elegant oi enjoyable reception than that tendered the drum mere last night by Mr. Allison, of the Willimantic linen company. ' Our Nashville Guests. THE RECEPTION AT JUDGES??? HALL YESTERDAY. The party of Nashville visitors who are now here spent yesterday in visiting the exposition. Every member of the party showed a deep interest in the great show, and the expressions of astonishment and admiration were universal. The party, which is stopping at the Exposition hotel, is composed of the following named ladies and gentlemen: Mayor Thomas A. Kerchevai and wife. Judge S. A. Duling, John L. Glenn, Ben McCann & Son, C. B. Kuhn, Miss Carrie Kuhn, Sirs. Fannie Wessel, \V. H. Hyronemus and nephew, Dr.Duncan Eve, R. M: Howell, C. F. Brown, James Robinson, John Hess, K. U. Page and wife. Miss Slary Page. Sire. Ware, Mrs. R. SI. Porter. Miss Laura Reese, W. S???. Glenn, W. A. Barry. C.- E. Parker, J. C. Hood, P. Harris.

R. Deubleliciss, W. R. SIcFarlai d and wife, \V. T. Linck and wife. Sir. and Srrs. Rosenheim. IV. II. Fisher. Dr. M. Baxter, L. H. Davis and wife and Miss Tober. At three o???clock yesterday afternoon the party, after being shown over the grounds by the mayor and council of Atlanta, was escorted to Judges' hall where an address of welcome was made by Mayor English and responded to by members of the party of visitors. The meeting was called to order by- Major J. F. Cummings, who introduced Mayor Eng- ??? lish. Mayor English made a short and appropriate address, in which he said that it was not necessary for Atlanta to formally welcome Teunesseeuns. He closed his remarks by introducing Slayor Kerchevai, of Nashville, who made an interesting address. He said that he was just from a sick room and feltvrey little like making an address, but that after hearing such warm words of welcome as fell from the lips of the mayor of Atlanta he felt it his duty to re spond. He spoke in enthusiastic terms of the ex position, and predicted that many good results would follow it. He made an eloquent appeal for immigration, and said that by it our hills and val leys could he made to blossom gloriously, and that wealth and plenty and happiness would follow. At the conclusion of his remarks Sfajor Cummings introduced Dr. Barry, a member of the party, who made a beautiful ad dress of a few minutes???s duration. He spoke of the greatness of the exposition as an educator and of the consequent good results that would flow from it. His address was listened to with great interest and closed the exercises, which, though short, were exceedingly interesting and pleasant. At Judges* null WELCOMING BREECHES AND RESPONSES. Governor Bloxham and his party of distinguished Floridians spent yesterday in looking through the exposition and in examining the exhibits. At one o'clock the party dined at the Florida building. A superb dinner was prepared especially for the occasion, and it was partaken of with zest by the party. At three o???clock the party was formally welcom ed to the city with addresses at Judges' hall. The opening address was made by Director-Gen eral Kimball. He spoke of the fact that Florida was the only state to come here and erect a building for her own exhibit He said that the state was cer tainly entitled to the consideration of the manage- queucc. It is a state of warm and loving hearts, it is a laud of flowers, the orange, the olive. It is the beautiful state. The very idea of Florida would inspire me and make me speak. 1 shall only sav that we of Georgia welcome you as brothers and greet you with a warm grasp of the hand. Governor Kb-xham was introduced, aud said that he was certainly proud of being one of the repre sentativesoi r luriaa, to whem such a graceful ac knowledgment and such a cordial reception had been extender! by the officials of the exposition. He spoke of the great success of the exposition, and said that it was the admiration and pride of all the Floridians who had seen it, and that it was but in keeping with Atlanta's record. He spoke of the rapid increase ' of Atlanta???s population which has increased with such rapidity during the last few years. He attributed the in crease to the pluck aud energy of our people, and that, he said, was the great mover which had made the exposition such a success. She rose, phienix like, from her ashes and stands to-day the brightest city of the south. In the course of his speech he said: My friends, I sincerely thank you for the compliment paid Florida by receiving her citi zens. I have learned much here at your ex position. I have examined the implements and pieces of machinery connected with the agricultural and manufacturing interests of tiie country, and I have found much that is full of interest to all men. The great Webster once said that agriculture, man ufacturing and mills were the three great balances u;mu which rested this country???s prosperin', and that of these agriculture was the greatest. But in a few years you will find the sou'h vieing with the north in manufactures mid developments of every kind that go to make a country and a people great lie went on to speak of the great lessons taught by the exposition, and spoke of it as a school wherein men from all sections of the country could learn. In speaking of the present good feeling which pervades the country, he said that we should mix together as one people and thank God that we are American citizens wiping out every feeling of bitterness that comes up from the past. He said that he was ready and that he knew that he spoke the sentiments of the people of his state when lie said that they were ready to ecctcnd to the people of all sections a warm grasp of the hand. He spoke of the great benefits that At lanta would reap from the exposition, and closed his speech with a tribute to her energy and enter prise. Hon. E. K. Foster, superintendent of educa tion of the state of Florida, was introduced and made a few remarks which were listened to with interest by the audience. He spoke of the fact that he was a northern man by birth, but that he had found a home under the sunny skies of Florida. The pride in hisbirth place, lie said, was great, but it did not exceed his pride in his adopted home. At the conclusion of Mr. Foster s remarks, Mr. Kimball arose aud paiiL a tribute to the press and the great work done by the journals of the country- in furthering the succsss of the exposition, lie closed his remarks by introducing Mr, Charles R. Jones, of the Charlotte Observer, who made a nea address for the press and for the visiting journal ists from North Carolina especially. In the course of Itis remarks he read the following resolutions, which were passed by the visiting editors from the old north state: Exposition Hotel, Atlanta, Ga., December 2. At an informal meeting of the press association of North Carolina held this morning to take into con sideration the programme of to-day, in which a for mal reception of the association has been arranged by the authorities oi the exposition, the following resoluiions were adopted: Resolved. That the members of the press associa tion of North Carolina present at the exposition in the city of Atlanta have learned with profound sen sibility the distinguished honor proposed to be ex tended to the association by a formal reception by the authorities of the exhibition and the execu tive of the state of Georgia. Resolved, That the arrangements previously made for the return of the association to North Carolina make the acceptance of the proposed hon or impossible at the hour designated by the com mittee, and it is therefore reluctantly declined. S. A. Ashe, President. Jordan Stone, Secretary. The remarks by Mr. Jones closed the exerciscsand the uudience dispersed well pleased with the events of the occasion. / Knurr, the cannon man, is employing 30,000 workmen. North Carolina has 112 species of wood and 1S6 of minerals. California mines yielded last year 819,000,000, and Colorado $20,000,000. From 25,000 to 30,000 pies are daily sold in the city of New York alone. A colony of five hundred Danes is another ad vance in Texan civilization. Bourbon county. Ky.. after paying her indebt edness, has ss,955 63 in bank. The income of the Indian school at Carlisle, Penn sylvania. will exceed the expenses this year by nt-arly S200. ment. and that it afforded him pleasure to welcome the citizens of that state to the exposition to which they had contributed such an Interesting displav. I He spoke with earnestness of the obligations which j the exposition was under to the state of Florida.and J closed his address by introducing Governor Col quitt, the president of the exposition. Governor Colquitt said: It s a very unnecessari- task that I should extend a welcome to the people of Florida who have come here to visit the exposi tion and the state of Georgia. They are in their own household. They are bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. I suppose you would think it was a very strange ceremony for the head of some family to stand at the door of bis house aud stop his own kin, and deliver a formal address of welcome. Our doors are open, my friends. The heaits oi the people are open, and you must think it a needless task for me to assure you here that you are welcome to these grounds. They are yours. They belong to the people of Florida as well as to the people of the state of Georgia, and if vou are here long enough, instead of having an address of welcome for you, i should relieve myself of this - fly if L speech is The Coming Great Dorr Show. the biggest event of the exposition. All the talk iu the city is about the dog show, and most of our citizens are staying off to witness the exposition until this show takes place. The show opens in Judges???hall on the 13th instant and will be one of the great attractions. All classes of people will be interested in it. The sp-.rismen of America and especially the sportsmen of Atlanta are inter ested in it. We have no doubt it will be a brilliant week. The ladles will be greatly interested in the show. One fine Skye terrier has been entered that to* the prize at the great London show, This breed of dogs has been made his- done by Sir Walter Scott, and as this ???dog is a direct descendant front the old-fashioned breed, he will undoubtedly attract great interest. He is named ???Sir Badge" and valued at $5,000. In an interview with Mr. Lincoln, the famous superintendent of bench shows', he expressed him self as entirely satisfied with the prospects of the show, only, he said, in order to give all parties an opportunity to enter their dogs, the entres would remain open until thelOlh instant and possibly * the 12th. Reporter???Do you think the public will take much interest m the show? Superintendent???Oh, yes. You have no idea how muc hinterest a dog show causes with all classes of people, especially with the ladies. Repoiter???Well, do any prominent people take interest in those shows? Superintendent???Well, I should think they do General Grant at the great centennial show visited the show privately, and at the time did not seem interested, (at least i thought not) but next morn ing General Gosham sent an order to have all the dogs ready for inspection by General Grant and pnrty. Reporter???Well, were they pleased with the pa rade. Superintendent???I should think they were, most every dog received a recognition, especially the far-famed ???Paris,??? owned by L. H. Smith, of Stralhoy, Canada, who took the first prize over all tile setters at the exposition. He Is valued at 810,000, and it is expected his owner will send him here for exhibition only. Reporter???Well, how about your Georgia entries? Superintendent???You know a separate class is mode for Georgia-bred setters, besides some special prizes will be given for them. Reporter???Do you tbiuk their owners will send them? Superintendent???Yes, if you will tell them that they will be judged separately; and you enn snv that it rests with the people of Atlanta to make this show a grand success. Reporter???Do you think it will do any good to the exposition? Superintendent???Yes, no doubt about it. The correspondence I have received from ail parts of the country indicate this, and a great many are waitiug for the bench show week. Reporter???Do you expect many crack dogs here. Superintendent???Yes, some of the best. Dr. Daw- ney, of New Market, Ind??? has promised to send two of his famoues field trial colleys. These dogs, itis well known, are a special favorite with the princess of Wnles. Reporter???How about your fox hound entries? They should be grand. Superintendent???Well, 1 have no doubt they will be, only their owners seem shy in entering them, but I think we should have a grand representation of this class of dogs. Reporter???What about your toy and ladies??? pet dogs? Superintendent???They are sure to be on hand. Director-General Kimball has promised to enter his imported pug dog, the only one of its kind in the south. It is said to be one of the best of this rare breed of dogs. Reporter???Whare cau people find out informa- tinn about the show? Superintendent???At Heinz <fc Berkcle???s gun store. Reporter???Any more news? Superintendent???Yon can sny that almost ever ??.ate in the union will be represented here, alsov Canada. The English papers nave already taken notes of the show, and I hope it will be a success. Reporter???Any more news? Superintendent???Yes, call again and I will give you the names-of the judges and other points, ancL 1 hope you will induce all your friends to enter their dogs. The Procramme for the Month. While the programme for the month of December is not fully made up, and while there will be much of interest during that time that is not now known of still we have a long list of attractions that will make red letter days is the history of the exposi tion. We mention below some of the special days that are now arranged for: Thursday, December 8th, will be Norfolk day. The; director general on yesterday received a tele gram from tho Norfolk cotton exchange stating that the business men of Norfolk, Va. would be here in force on the sth. Appropriate exercises will be ar ranged for the day. Friday, December 9th, will be mayors??? day. Many rcsposes have been received from mayors who express a determination to come to the exi*>- sitionon mayors???day. This wilt be one of the most interesting days of the three months. December 16th will be ministers??? day. Among those who are expected to be here are Rev. Henrv Ward Beecher. Rev. Morgan Dix, Rev. James Free man Clark, Bishop Pierce. Mshop Warren, Bishop Simpson and many other distinguished divines December 20th will be editors??? day, an occasion that should draw an overwhelming crowd. It cau be stated with a considerable degree of certainty that Hon. Carl Schurz will be here, aud he is expected to deliver an address which will be responded to by Hon Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Jour nal. Addresses are expected from Mr. J. H. Estill and other gentlemen of the south. December 22d will be Texas day. The governor .. programme for the reception of Secretary Blaine, the president???s cabinet and the judges of Die su preme court who are expected to come on during the month. Under such a magnificent programme. as the above almost any day offers Tt good occasion for a visit to Atlanta and the exposition. There is not a day in which there is not a distinguished party here.aud the visitor is liable to run over a governor or a high official or distinguished citizen at every turn of the street. Farmers' Day. There is every indication that the largest crowd by thousands will visit the exposition during farm ers???week, commencing December 6th. The efforts of the railroads from all parts of the United States, together with the regular one cent excursions in the state, will cause an immense crowd to come. Over five thousand planters from the Mississippi river will be here, and it is safe to count on live thousand Georgia farmers. We urge every Post master throughout the state to help us in telling the farmers of the day. Special trains leave New* Orleans, Vicksburg and Memphis on December 5th, and large numbers will come. ,. . Will not Colonel Thomas Hardeman, president Geoigia agricultural society, issue an address to the farmes, requesting them to come? His address would do good, and all papers would publish it. The Editors. The North Carolina editors, numbering thirty- nine, after spending two days in the city and at the exposition, have returned to Iheir homes. The Constitution was honored with visits from quite a number of them. It i??? to be hoped that they will come again before the exposition is over, and it would be a good idea if the president of the North Carolina press association would call a meeting for the 20th???editors??? day. Whut tho l???am-r* Say. Birmingham (Ala.) Age. The writer spent several days of last week in At lanta. and was really surprised at the magnitude of the great enterprise. First, the exhibition excels in point of general attractiveness the most sanguine expeetatioais of those who attend, for even the newspaper accounts do not fully portray the extent and magnificence of the show. Second, the num ber of people in attendace from a distance entitles the exposition to???the tony cosmopolitan title which Director-General Kimball gave it. Northern and weslern people, however, constitute the greater portion of patrons, sight-seers and fact-gatherers. The south is not so fully represented ns it should be, although most of the southern states are mak ing very creditable exhibits of the great products of their soils, and in this way advertising before the northern eye the great wealth of the cotton fields, ore beds, forests and streams, natural advantages and God-given wealth. Vicksburg Herald. The meeting of the planters and manufacturers at Atlanta, on the sixth of December, will be a big day in the history.of the exposition. We hope every southern raan that can spare the time anu means will use every effort possible to attend. The exhibi tion has not been as well patronized from Missis sippi ns it should have been. There should be no fear on account of obtaining comfortable quarters. At last accounts there were thirteen thou sand strangers comfortably housed in At lanta, and comfortable accommodations for ten thousand more. All these unoccupied spaces ought to be filled. There are also thousands of people all over the country, no doubt, who would be perfectly willing to endure more or less discom fort for the sake of witnessing the exposition. But why are they not there? It would seem that a dis play of such extraordinary interest and national importanccr-by far the greatest of its kind ever in the country, and surpassed in no respect excepting by the late centennial at Philadelphia ??? should attract at least ten persons where it now only draws one. Such would undoubtedly be the case had the railroads north and west made a systematic reduction of faros and properly advertised the character of the exhibition. By this means public attention could have been more generally' centered upon that point, and the railroads, at the same time, have correspondingly profited. It has not been done, nor is it likely to be done. Yet the exhibition is a grand success, and eanuot well be over estimated in the magnitude of its results. EXPOSITION FACTS.

Little Kock, Ark., December 1.???A gentleman from Stone county, who has just reached the city gave the particulars of a remarkable incident which he witnessed while crossing White river on the ferry just above the mouth of Sycamore creek. When nearly half way across the stream an enormous eagle swoo|*ed down on a Hock of geese which were swimming iu the river some eighty rods below the boat. The fowls upon observing the eagle appn ach ing instinctively dived under the water just as the bird struck the wave. Bullied in the first ils sault the eagle fiew slowly upward, and when the geese came to the surface darted downward again and burying its talotts in one of them, attempted to bear it away. The goose struggled violently, while its companions swam around it uttering shrill cries and the persons on the ferrv-boat watched the strange scene with keen interest. Once the eagle lifted its prey clear out of the water and seemed on the point of conveying it to the mountain cliff that rose grandly in the air on the other side of the stream, but the struggles of lire goose forced the captor downward. When water was again reuched the goose made a preme effort aud plunged below the surface, dragging the eagle after It. and causing the latter to loosen its hold and rise up ward with a fierce scream. The eagle next attacked another goose, but with the same result, being c im pelled to relinquish its hold when its intended vic tim plunged beneath the waves. This strange cor test lasted fully thirty minutes, at the end ofwhicL time the eagle gave up the fighi, and, rising, soared away to the mountains westward, while the tlock of geese swam further down the stream. None of the Hock were killed, but the water in the vicinity was dyed with blood, aud the surface of the stream wi covered with leathers for a considerable distance. DISEASE IN CONNECTICUT. The Programme to be Carried out ThU Week. This week will certainly mark a period in the his tory of the exposition unsurpassed iu point of im portance.

Singular Cnscs Li-U???t Poisoning. Hartford, December 2.???The October report the state board of health, issued to-day, shows an unusual prevalence during the month of dipluhe riain Hartford and Waterbury, there having .been three deaths In one family in the latter place. The disease has prevailed muliguantly in other parts of the stale, notably in Naugatuck, Salisbury, Man chester and Humpton. Typhoid fevers and malarial disorders are much more oxter si ve than usual. Norwalk and Bridgeport report an alarming frequency of typhoid cases; more than the last five ortix years together. In Manchester there have been several cases. Derbv reports a marked decrease in mularial diseases anil a maiked increase in typhoid fever. Naugatuck and eleven other towns report an increase of typlioid. Berlin has been afflicted with typhoid and niulurial fevers, and Sutlleld, New Caiman, Salisbury and South Manchester report an increased number of both fevers. The board say that this year it seems to be rather the rule to see typhoid and tvpho-inuluriiil in the same pluces. Either the mula???rtal fevets are in the decline or else the typhoid fevers have taken a new lease of strength, 'ihe old antagonism be tween them does not seem to exist so strongly now. Gerebro-spinul meningitis is reported ' from Derby, and ulso scarlet fever of a mild type. A large number of cases of uterine cancer are reported from Tolland county. Whooping cough has prevailed iu Salisbury, Manchester und Hainpton.aud measles in .South Manchester. Small pox appeared iu Essex, and two deaths resulted but the spread oi the disease was prevented. A sin gular series of cases of leud-polsoiiitig were reported from Fairfield county. The fanners had been in the custom of buying barrels which had contained boiled linseed oil to use for storing cider. After 7t while obscure symptoms developed aud medical aid was invoked. The litharge oxide of lead used in the processor boiling the oil forms an adherent sediment U|>on rite inside of the barrels, and the acids of the cider readily unite with this and dis solve large quantities of it. V the cider is kept long enough to tarn to viuegar, the proportions * lead are still more increased. THE IMPRISONED BANKER. Probability That He Will be Lynched Before Moraine. Hunnewell, Ks., December 1.???The committee appointed to go to Wiehlta and investigate the col laterals abstracted from the Caldwell bank by Smith, cashier, when he fled, returned late last night, and reported to day that they think there win not be sufficient to pay over twenty-five cents on the dollar.but it will amount to over this,for the disposition is not to allow a claim of some $20,000 pul in by Wilson, of Kansas City, for some New York indebtedness. They find but little other property and that Danford???s financial situation has been very desperate for some time past. More crooked ness is developing every hour. Tanner and Denman, who were found hid under the hay in a livery stable at Wellington were terribly frightened and squealed When s full report is made, it will astonish people. Smith it is reported, had bought tickets for Texas and it is believed the whole party were booked for flight in that direction. It is publicly claimed on the street*- of Caldwell, this evening, that Danford will be taken out, to-night, and strung up, but not killed: but there is uo telling to what extent an excited mob will go. The trains are watched closely and any attempt to send militia to rescue rite prisoners will result in their instant death There is much diversity of opinion as to whether Danford is able to pay out or not. It looks now- very much as if this was his last night on earth. ???y ??? -w appropriate programme of exercises will be arranged. December 26th will be freedman???s day.
