The .laws governing slaves In the .north as well as the ■' south are interesting. For instance the statutp of 1730 provides that if three slaves ' met ^{unless while laboring for their masters) [the penalty should be , forty lashes. It also enacts that masters should have the privi lege of “punishing slaves according to their discre tion, not extending to life or limb.” Every town was provided yvith a slave whipper whose fee was ( three shillings per head. A slave striking a White bnau'could be jailed for fourteen days and subject ed to “other punishment at the discretion of the magistrates, not extending to life or limb.” Any master vvho manumitted a slave must give bopds to the amount of £200 that the said slave should not become a public charge. Tho testimony of slaves was not received in court except against other slaves. A slave detected carrying a weapon, such as gun, pistol .or sword (except by per mission of the master) Is to suffer twenty lashes on the bare back. Slaves convicted of murder or felony (including setting fire to haystacks) “shall suffer the pains of death in such manner and under such circumstances as the enormity of their crimes shallmerit or require." Slaves were not entitled to trial liy jury unless demanded by their masters who were to pay the extra jury fees, in process against slaves no grand jury indictment was re quired. On accusation the prisoner could be tried immediate by a court composed of three justices and five free holders. If convicted,' immediately execu tion could be ordered. Such legislation as' t)ie above may explain the fact that ten years after its date (1710) a number of slaves were burned alive on charge of conspiracy to bum the city. The five senses form the subjects of four panels which Francis Lathrop is painting for the dining room of a private metropolitan residence. Hear ing and touch combined are'represented by several figures illustrating music and tlie dance. A scene depicting a sacrifice represents smell, and taste is symbolized by an ancient patrician banquet. Sight is clearly portrayed by a terrace scene with a woman seated on a dais, while an artist paints her portrait. On a step of the dais sits a youth reading, while on the right of the painter two men shading their eyes scan the sails near the horizon of a summer sea. Another group on the left is composed of a woman embroidering, another who bends to hand her some silk and a man lifting falcons on his wrists. Kaffir-el-Dwar and Mallahalla this afternoon.

The library is many times larger now than it was then It has quarters that are palatial com pared to those two little tooms. It circulates twice as many books aud lias twice as many on its shelves. But it lacks .the old social - feature that made every director an enthusiast who, asleep or awake, thought of the library, and that made the salad to go y[Uh tracts and good advice they gave to the 50,000 people who are annually discharged from the penal and‘charitable institutions of the city. They soon found that to make their work effectual more substantial food was needed lor this class. To supply this need the society established coffee house, restaurant and reading room, and where these people could be cared for. Their next more was to build a training school for nurses, Encouraged by the growth of the mission, some months ago a committee of ladies headed by the philanthropic founder of the society raised enough money to build, under the auspices of the society a home for homeless people.

Colonel Foreacre took this hurried storjWu with a laugh as the two men Shook hands after a separa tion of sixteen years, and renewed their brief but spirited acquaintance. ...... Mr. Barrow told me of a curious incident In volving an Athens horse. He said: "Last Christ- ’ mas I left my office at about 2 o'clock at night. It was sleeting and snowing, and I was picking my way home very. carefully. -Vs I passed Tal- znadge *t Hodgson's store I heard ahorse walking about inside the store. The sound of a horse'shoof on a plank floor is unmistakable, but it was so ex traordinary that I listened again. It was clearly a horse. I knocked on the door and halloed. Some one answered and ^oon the door opened. There stood Prince Hodgson with a lamp in his hand. •Didn’t I hear a horse ln here?' ’I suppose you did. I'm working on my books, andasitwas sleet- lug I brought my horse in the store to keep him warm.’ I walked back to the office and there, stanuing in front of a big fire, surrounded by hams ' and pickles and groceries, stood a big, bay horse, watching his master at work.and blinking and doz ing as peacefully aa if he had been in his stable. It was a curious sight.” „.„By the way, the war story of above reminds me of a good one jthey tell on Mooes Handy, of the Philadelphia Press.

In discussing Stephen D. Tyng’s financial troubles, which grew out of stock speculations, a Wall street friend of mine said: “It is not an unu sual tliipg for preachers to speculate in stocks. It is excused because it is so universally practiced, Here everybody speculates.

Hence, I believe this distinguished honor should be conferred and not sought, as offices of profit may very properly be sought. It is for others and not for myself to decide whether my name shall be used for the purpose indicated. Now, in reply to your second inquiry, I frankly say that if the state of Georgia should deem me worthy of a seat in the United States senate, as one of the representatives of her sovereignty ln 'that distinguished body no possible honor yould be conferred on me which I would sohighly prize. Andlmay without impro priety add there • is no other polit ical office which I have the slightest desire to fill. No one can appreciate more highly than I do the importance to the state thathigh po litical office should be properly filled, and the dig nity conferred upon him who properly discharges the functions of any snch office. But I have.never permitted myself so to desire these positions that I could enjoy the possession unless obtained without such improper seeking that I would fail to deserve them. Should a different course i>y necessary to suc cess, I am more satisfied with the life of a private citizen, which has vouchsafed to me much more than the share ordinarily allotted toman of happi ness and contentment.” ■indistinct print
