All the live retail merchants are enjoying a fine trade, while the wholesale merchants have all they can easily attend to. From many of the heaviest of them we learn that trade is very much heavier than at this time last year, and a little larger than the year before. The country merchants are buying freely. “—+ + + —' No; C. S. A. has not been off on a summer va cation. On the contrary, work of a heavy na ture has crowded him so heavily as to preclude any possibility of writing. As to going off to summer resorts, we have been quite content to stay in Atlanta, where light coverings have been comfortable of nights, and no extremely hot weather have worried the day’s labor. Truly, Atlanta has a blessed climate. —I ++ — The weather is exceedingly propitious for a bountiful harvest: it is neither too wet or too dry, and no devastating insects are abroad in the land. There will be, however, the same amount of chronic grumblers, who would clack under any circumstances. The farmers gener ally needed this rich blessing, for they had well nigh become discouraged over the bad crops of a few years past. Money will be plenty and con fidence restored. We rejoice at their prospects. -J- + + A cautious observing business man has sug gested to The Capitol man that the corner stone of the capitol was laid on bricks. The writer was not present at the exercises and does not know anything about it, but if our inform ant is correct, certainly a grave mistake has been made, for the mortar and bricks are cer tain to crumble and the articles deposited in the tin box will mold and deface. All of the impor tant items should nave been etched on a copper plate for preservation. +++ — How fast a mistake of any known or leading man travels ! When a report has gone the rounds, it becomes so distorted as to lose any of its original meaning. The scandal-monger and the news-gossiper whet their scythes and start out mowing down every blade of grass that is exposed to view. But it is wrong, all wrong, and the golden rule should be remembered ; and in any such cases you should speak kindly of the unfortunate ones until you learn the real truth. -ttt- stin The Capitol bowls along at a booming rate. Our eight-page issue of last Saturday and this one of to.day has proven to the people our facilities for grappling with large editions of this nature. Outside of the morning paper The Capitol is the only paper in the city that has an eight-page newspaper folding, pasting and trimming machine. There is, however, some very heavy work put on the paper, and if health permits there is a big reserve force of it left. We thank our friends fortheir kind assis tance, our patrons for their liberal favors, and our enemies, if we have any, for their unpleas ant remarks. We will strive hard to merit your approbation and confidence. The legislative sketches, the initial number of which have been published in this issue, together with cuts of some of them, are worthy of preservation. They are rough hewd as it were, simply thrown together as most daily newspapers work has to be done, but they con tain data and information which will be of value for reference as to our public men in the future. Os some of the members who live in re mote parts of the State it is hard to col lect data, and it has taken in some cases a dozen letters to their friends to secure sufficient re plies to questions to give these facts, but if it is possible we shall publish a sketch hurried though it may be of every member and engrav - i ngs of as many as we can secure photographs of. + ++ 4- + + That is a good joke that is told on one of our jolly, good Matured (not veteran) auctioneers who, a few evenings since, went to visit a rela tive and when he entered the house and parlor he saw as he supposed his relative and walked up to her and gave the lady (who proved later to have been a perfect stranger to him) a good square hugging and kissing. The mistake was discovered a second after when the right lady walked in, and the astonished auctioneer t urned around and saw the husband of the lady he had embraced scowling at him. ’Tis needless to add that explanations were in order, or that the next time that auctioneer enters he will first*get the sun out of bis eves.

The project of a ballet composed of sixty American girls of irreproachable moral character is exciting the brisk comment of the showmen to-day. Mrs. Francis B. Thurber, wife of the millionaire merchant and anti-monopolistic politician, has plan ned a season of grand opera in English by American-born singers altogether. She has hired the Academy of Music for a term beginning in January next, has engaged the principals of a company, and all the arrangements are under way on a large THE EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA.

She had already placed a native chorus in training, and she said that she would institute a school of dancing to graduate a ballet by the time they were required. Moreover, every pupil should be of undoubtedly good morals. She would not be persuaded out of this part of her undertaking, which is deemed ridiculous by old managers, but is lauded by the lady’s enthusiastic friends. It is said that a premier danseuse of American birth, though of Italian train ing and foreign stage experience, has been 'secured; but the coryphees and other members of the ballet are to be produced, if possible, from reputable New York girls willing to go into such employment. “M«ATS” IN THINE EYE. A Live Firm Which Takes the Pre mium—Fine llaiid-made Har ness and Saddles. C. W. Motes & Co., the saddlers and harness-makers, at 96 Whitehall street, have just touched up their place with a fresh coat of paint and have put in new show cases, immensely adding to the looks of things. This firm is composed of LIVE MEN, and they lead the van, keeping right up with the wants of the people in their line of harness, saddlery, fancy bridles, rugs, robes, wraps, etc. They have a large, ele gant stock of new gcods, and in their house can be found the latest wrinkles and nov elties in the line of goods they carry. They are manufacturers of STRICTLY HAND-MADE HARNESS AND SADDLERY, and turn down all competitors by the su periorquality of their work and the beauty and utility of the goods they turn out from their establishment. All their goods are well made and everything is positively as represented, and this is just the reason why this house is so popular and still gain ing ground. THEY ALWAYS TAKE THE PREMIUM with their manufactures at all the Fairs, and when competitors hearthat Motes is on deck, they know they will never see their names in the list of awards. One thing that staggers them worse than j anything, however, is that besides having the best harness, saddles, bridles and equestrian and vehicle paraphernalia MOTES SELLS SO CHEAP ! The people smile knowingly, and they go in and out at Motes’ whenever the}’ need anything he keeps, and when they go once they will go again, for they get the best of satisfaction. The senior member of the firm is an old hand at the business, having served forty years of his time at the trade.

JUDGE LONGSTREET. A VARIR SKETCH OF OCR GREAT GEORGIA HUMORIST. Dr. Rob Morris of LaGrange, Ky.. Tells His Granillo Memories of the Author of Georgia Scenes. Courier-Journal. With A. B Longstreet his face was an absolute mask. There was no indication whatever of the ' coining jest, and when it came it was accompli sited with such seri ousness voice and manner that its effect was half lost upon tiie hearer. You were not sure but the old preach er meant it simply as an anecdotal illustration to a re ligious exhortation, such as we hear from the average pulpit. Spending an evening in his cqjnpany, and re calling his conversation afterwards, I am amazed to see how totally I missed the nub of his best puns. He is the only jester in all my acquaintance whom I recollect as a serious one. Born in South Carolina or Georgia, there is some ques tion which, this celebrated scholar and preacher gave us his natal day of September 22,1800. He died at Ox ford. Miss., 1870, leaving behind him a lasting impress ion as a ripe educator, a fine jurist, and a thorough Christian gentleman. My acquaintance with him be gan in 1850, when I was his guest at Oxford. He was President of the State. University there, and very popu lar as a teacher among Southern youth. 1 had taken part in the corner-stone proceedings of the university building. July 4. 1846, and felt more than ordinary in terest. in the prosperity of the school. 1 was struch with the interest the students took in the one book of their president. As n rule, 1 think students are not prone toadmire the literary efforts of their in structors. The professor of theoiogy, Dr. Waddell, had written a number of works clearing up difficulties in Scriptural interpretation, but 1 did not notice that the students carried them round in the pockets in hours of recreation. This, however, could not be said of “Georgia Scenes,” the admirable production of President Long street. Every student had two copies, one for show, the other for use. 1 tried several students with the question : “May 1 look at your 'Georgia Scenes!’” And the amusing book was promptly forthcoming from the near est coat pocket. In truth. President Longstreet was far from being proud of his popularity as its author. Like our Governor Knott (he will pardon me the illustration) although he so largely owes his reputation to bis one speech, the Duluth Crystal, yet upon the whole he pre fers that his friends shall not quote it too frequently in his presence. Longstreet gained his reputation from that one book, oi e of the most presentations of iocal life ever written. It made him a popular lawyer, after grad uating at Yale in 1823. It raised him to the dignity of judge of the Sperior Court. It, advanced him rapidly to theological promotion when he abandoned the bench for the pulpit. It elevated him to be president of the Uni versity of Georgia, and when the trustees of the State institution of Mississippi looked around for a fitting person to organize ami govern their m hool, the reputa tion originally based upon “Georia Scenes” gave to its author a place over all other applicants and secured his election. T remarked that the students were ardent admirers of Longstreet’s book. Thiswasseen particular; in their written compositions. Their trial essays and gradua tion pieces abounded with quotations trorn “Georgia. Scenes.” In their debating exercises, Kick Spival and Ransy Sniffle were charade’s more popular, by far, than Cicero or Shakespear. The best horses in the liv ery stable at Oxlord bore the names of Bullet and Old Kit. The physical contests of the boys, bo.doting at times upon rudeness, were but duplications of the cele brated tight between Bob Durham and Billy Stallions, so graphically described by Longstreet in bis book. In the periodical altercations between the young bloods i;nd the faculty, sometimes verging upon insurrection, the leaders in the imbroglio assumed the names oi “Oba diah Snoddleburg.” “John Squeez-d fault er” and “Noah Bills.” by which honored appellation theyi.ro seen to be enrolled in the college records. The very evening 1 spent with the president he showed me an anonymous letter he had just received, in which under a rudely ex ecuted but remarkably faithful portraiture of himself hanging by the neck, dead, some disgruntled youth had scrawled a passage from his “Character of a Native Georgian,” as follows : "Humor has been your beset ting sin from your youth. It has sunk you far below the station to which your native gifts entitled you. It has robbed you of the respect of all your acquaintances, and what is much more to bo regretted, the esteem of some of your best and most indulgent friends.” And yet few men at the head of such institutions ever proved more popular or successful than Judge Longstreet. 1 have some notes from the hand of Hon. James M. Howry, of Oxford, Miss., a State trustee of the ty under the presidency of Judge Longstreet, in which, in affecting and eloquent words, he schetches the great Southern humorist as he appeared in his last years. In this connection he quoted the classic, “Annis gravis atque aniini maturus” —“ripe in wisdom, grave and venerable for age.” No one conversing with President Longst eet in an ordinary way would have detected the vein of humor which originated the Georgia Scenes. But in private, the doors shut, the company properly selected, then the latent springs were tapped, and it was given us to see in his sprightly and diverting c»»n* versation that if Longstreet h in exj)ended_2 | genius upon other and higher Ilonin . TiG <erl illustrations would not have been inferior to those of Walter Scott himself. In conversation with the author of “Georgia Scenes ’* I found him sensitive to criticism on t'ie . >re of the profane and vulgar expressions with which his South ern stories were interlarded. It i.- report.’! tluft in ear ly uays hi’ had been subjected to'Sharp animadversions on this subject. His associate preachers upon the cir cuit, in their petty sphere, had literally skinned him alive for the “d—nst” the “dod darn your so’nls,” the “God bless yous.” the ‘‘rot your cowardly skins.” “ly ing sluts,” and similar phrases so freely used in his narratives. The p.esiding elder had solemnly -passed judgment upon their impropriety, and even the bishop (Pearce), in his pleasant manner, while he confessed that he “enjoyed reading Brother Longstreet’s 'Scenes’ above all other merely secular productions,” suggested that they were calculated, in that one particular, to give offense to weak souls, and thought that an expur gated edition might remove all cause of complaint, Longstreet, in the preface to his first edition, makes the only explanation that he ever did offer on the subject, and it is certain that he permitted no expurgating or mutilating of his stories. He said that, having pub lisned a number of them in one of the Georgia papers, ‘heir popularity was so great that he could not resist the importunity of the people for a complete issue. “To. those who have taken exceptions to the coarse, in elegant and sometimes ungrammatical language which the writer represents himself as using, he icclares that it is language accommodated to the capacity of the per sons to whom he represents himself «>’ speaking.” And in a note to “The Character of a Native Georg ian,” he adds“l should certainly omit such expres sion' - as this could I do so with historic fidelity, but the peculiarity of the times of which i am writing cannot be faithfully represented without them, in recording things as they are, truth requires me sometimes to put profane language in the mouths of my characters.” This explanation, however, did not satisfy all his church friends nor. to tell the truth, does it- satisfy me. If Judge Longstreet had literally copied the conversa which be repot ted at those fights, races and fox-hunts, the language would have been totally unfit for publica tion. He gives the profanity, but omits tin* indecency. In our pleasant interchange of thought I pointed him to Shakespeare, who quotes the sniutj but omits the profanity: then to Sniollet, who inserts both, and asked him «Inch he deemed the worst? His reply was a la bored vindication of his method, which lie considered the only one thai fairly depictured the popular charac ters he was describings Dickens, however, who went into strata of humanity very much lower than Long street ever saw, avoided indecency and profanity both, and put words into the mouths of his ruffians and prof ligates such as may be read in any company. I conclude with the remark that those who went to Oxford to see Judge Lonstreet always looked to find him cranky and eccentric. It was expected also in his ser mons and public addresses that he would give out strokes of humor and flashes of fun to irradiate his sub jects Such persati* were invariably disappointed. “He arose before us,” says a life-long friend, “grave and serious. His words were measured. His argu ments were cold, logical, conclusive, ai d I do not re member a single sally of wit emitted from his lips.” If you want a bill of lumber furnished from the mill with promptness and dis patch, and cut right, call on us.
