We copy the following from the Constitution of Sunday for the purpose of indorsement: “The announcement elsewhere of the opening of the Sunny South Female Seminary, under the conduct of President William B. Seals, will be read with interest. President Seals during his long career as an educator has been at the head of some of the best female colleges in the South. He is indorsed by many of the best known men and women in the land, and cannot fail to secure a large patronage. In his new venture he will be assisted by an able corps of teachers. The practical features of the sem inary, such as phonography, calligraphy, tele graphy, book-keeping and type-setting, will commend the institution to many. The Sunny South Seminary has a good field before it, and there is no reason why it should not meet with great success.” REIRESEN TATIVE JNO. D. STEW ART. The action of several counties last Sat urday has given the Congressional nomi nation to Judge Jno. D. Stewart. He will fill the place ably and accepta bly. The Capitol has already spoken of his fitness for the position, his ability, his character and his high standing. We will simply add that his influence will be felt in the National Congress and he will guard well the interests of the South, his State and his district. THE ARTESIAN PARK. We have heard much favorable com ment on devoting the small space north of the artesian well to a park. As a street it would be of little use, but as a park with a neat grass plot and in the center a fountain it would be a nice breathing spot and add much to the at tractiveness of the center of the city. As a meeting place the artesian park would be a favorite on account of its very central location. A few seats around the fountain would render the place very con venient to any one waiting for street cars or for strangers who might be in the city waiting for their train, and for a score of other purposes. The fountain, being fed by the artesian tank, the water would cost nothing com paratively, and the cool, sparkling water bubbling up that way would make this spot cheerful and attractive. If the council will establish the park, which can be done at small cost, The Capitol will undertake to raise enough money by subscription to buy the foun tain. The idea of making a band stand of the covering to the well seems to be a popu lar one, and there is no question but that a brass band playing there three or Jour times a week would give the city a most lively appearance. Let us all stop figuring for the welcome almighty dollar for a moment and get these pleasure spots for the public and the music for their entertainment.

ABOUT THE WEAI'HEK Yeaterday the Hottest Day of the Present Tear. A reporter called on the obliging gentleman at the signal service office this morning and quizzed him in the absence of Sergeant Beall about the vreather. “Yesterday was the hottest day for this year up to the present time,” said he. “And when will we have some rain?” asked the scribe. “The indications are for rain within twenty four hours.” The reporter learned that the thermometer stood higher yesterday than at anytime within the past five years except during the month of July, 1883. The following table shows the highest points each year since the year 1879. In 1879 the highest register was in July, which stood 97. In 1880 the warmest day was in July; the thermometer stood 94. In 1881 the highest point registered at 98. 1882 highest register 93—June 1883 “ “ 95—July 1884 “ “ 92—October 1885 “ “ 91—July 1886 “ “ 94—August The above shows a high temperature. On yesterday the observation was taken about 1 o’closk, when the thermometer registered at 94. During the day four observations were taken —the first at 6 o’clock a. m., registering 75, at. 2 o’clock it registered at 92 and at 9 and 10 o’clock the register stood at 82. Everybody hopes that the warmest weather for the year has passed. Temperance in all Things.

AUGUST 16, 1886 ATLANTA HAH A BIG I.EAD, And Intend* to Keep it—tarannali Die heartened Atlanta defeated Charleston again on Satur day. The game was somewhat tame, and was won with ease by the home club. They hit Sullivan hard, and their field work was perfect, not making an error. Shaffer pitched an easy game and didn’t exert himself. The game on the part of Charleston was without life. They seemed like they didn’t care to play. Perhaps they are like Savannah, disheartened. Atlanta made twelve hits to Charleston’s eight The base running and the two base hits were the features of Atlanta’s playing. SCORE 1Y INNINGS. Atlantas 20102400 o—9 Charleston - -- -20000000 o—2 Nashville —Nashville 8, Macon 7. Memphis—-Memphis 6, Savannah 3. A gentleman who has seen the Savannah Club play in Memphis savs that they are disheart ened and accuses Memphis being in with At lanta. Why not?

Augusta, Memphis and Nashville wants At lanta to win the pennant. The others will af ter awhile. Mappes is a great catcher. Memphis and Nashville are playing for the third place. Atlanta has the first place and will keep it. FURCBLL TALKS OF SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON. A Capitol reporter found Manager Purcell at the Kimball house this morning with a copy of the Charleston News and Courier in his bands, reading the article headed “An outrageous rob bery,” and was greatly amused at the manner in which the Charleston paper was trying to ac count for the very poor manner in which their team was playing ball in Atlanta. The reporter aSKed: “Why >s it that the Charleston papers are always writing you up—or down, rather?” “Well, you see baseball is a new business in Charleston, and they are rather fresh and seem to have an antipathy toward every club that succeeds in defeating their club.” “Well, have you any doubts about Atlanta again winning the pennant?” “Pshaw! you might as well ask me if I thought the sun was going to rise to morrow. No one now has any doubts but that Atlanta will again float the flag, and the truth is, all the papers throughout the South, except possibly the Savannah papers, agree that the Atlantas will have the pennant again this season, and the Savannahs fail to do so just because they want to keep a stiff upper lip in order to force their club up to at least third place when the season closes.” “Which team do you consider has the best base runners, coachers and batters?” “Why, the Atlanta club by all odds, with the Memphis club second and the Nashvilles a good third.” “Is not the Atlanta club very anxious to have a series of games with the Savannah club at the end of the season?” I understand the Atlanta directors are en deavoring to get the Savannah directors to come to some terms for ten championship games for more than three weeks, but they have not yet succeeded in getting the Savannah director to the sticking point.” In speaking of the base ball reporter of the Charleston News and Courier Manager Purcell says that what he does not know about base ball would till a large volume; that he can ridi cule and blackguard more unblushingly than any man he ever saw, and that after writing him up two or three times he had the gall and cheek to come up and shake hands with him. Manager Purcell did not seem inclined to talk much to-day, as he bad his right eye in the direction of the right field fence as if contem plating a home run in that direction this after noon.
