THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, TUESDAY. JULY 1,1884.™TWELVE PAGES. > NOTES ON CURERNT TOPICS A friendless pauper died Berlin the other day, and bis carcass was promptly hustled off to the Potters* field. Fourteen years ago this pauper was known as the railroad king. He was called the “Iron Count,*’ the “Wonder Doctor." Great financiers and statesnffen did not disdain td go to Strousberg for ndvice. Strousberg ran just such a career ns some of his American contemporaries have followed He bought legislators and newspapers. He as sociated himself with men of high position, and the more dubious his schemes the more men of fine reputation did he persuade to engage with him. He became the companion of prin ces, and his estate consisted of railways, fac tories, foundries, palaces, libraries, valuable pictures, bronzes and vast land possessions. Such a man seen ed invincible, but the ruth less hand of Nemesis laid him low, and to-day he rests in an unmarked pauper’s grave. Some of our money kings will do well to study the lesson taught by Straus- berg's career. It is but a step from the mil lionaire’s palace to the pauper's grave. Im mense wealth, rapidly accumulated, is almost invariably the result of successful speculation or questionable enterprises. It rarely remains in the hands of more than two generations. At best, riches have wings, but honest wealth, gained by honest methods, remains longer in a family than a colossal fortuue built up by fraud. T 5 Ex-Governor St. John, the Kansas republi can prohibition leader, declares that he will not support the republican nominees, because their platform ignores the prohibition issue. Ho will wait for the result of the national pro hibition convention at Pittsburg, and abide by it. There is some talk of nominating St. John as the prohibition candidate for the presiden- J # ovm l years. <7- a prominent mesmerist claimed that magnet ism was at tho bottom of it all, and gave an in stance of a woman iu Kngland who could cause a clifp or piece of wood to rise several inches from a table by merely willing that it should. A young lady iu Washington, lie snys, could play on n piano, cuusing it ta hop about, first on one leg and then on another, keeping time to tho music. Thk great temperance orator, John B. Gough says that he bus not yet overcome the nervous ness produced by the sight of an audience. Even now his knees always tremble wh first opens his mouth. During the first eighteen years of his lecturing experience he spoke only on temperance, delivering 5,400 lectures, 1,100 of which wore in Great Britain his early youth he enjoyed no ad vantages aud ho was twenty five years Id before he read any literary produc tions. In his early career i speaker Mr. Gough felt many misgiving* on account of his lock of education, but when lie met'Wendell Phillips and Mr. Blaine they made him forget his disadvantages and on cournged him greatly. Mr. Gough says that he has no desire to pose as ft great thinker or a .great speaker. Ho consider* himself a mere story-teller, but nevertheless he speuks with an object in view. Howard Croft Hyland is a well known character iu New York. He has served sev eral terms of imprisonment for various small forgeries, and nt present is incarcerated as a paujwr on Blackwell's island. Several months ago one of Hyland's relatives died in Kngloml, leaving him a fortune of $90,000, but the au thorities would not release him, and he -will have to serve out his term before stepping into his fortune. With $90,000 a pauper ought to \><i able to keep out of the almshouse for driver not daring to interfere. She cam* her death by the hands of her frienfis who were attempting to rescue her from (he au thoritics. A stray bullet ended her wicked and romantic career. Not only pictures of Blaine and Logan are exposed for sale all over the country, but por traits of Mrs. Logan have already made their appearance. As yet, however, strong cold face of Mrs. Blaine has been seen in the illustrated pa pers. It is said that Mrs. Blaine never had her photograph taken, andahe can not be persuaded to sit for a picture. She is not a beautiful woman, but her face indicates strong common sense, firmness and pride. She lacks tho personal magnetism of Mrs. Logan, hut when she makes friends she holds them. If tho Spanish authorities have really swal lowed the rumor that our government is will ing to pay $500,000,000 for Cuba they are a very credulous set of statesmen. In the days of President Polk we otTcred $100,000,000 for the island, but that was a fancy figure, and would now be considered altogether too high. The truth is that we can secure Cuba for little or nothing whenever we are in the mood. All that wc have to do is to quietly encourage the various filibustering expeditions continually organizing in this country. The Cuban rebels arc paving tho way* for the annexation of Cuba to the United States, and in the course of time the persecuted little brunette will rush nto Uncle Sam's arms for protection. Now that pedestrian ism has become fasli iouablo among the young ladies of our large cities, the )M>mtcd toed, high heeled shoe has gone out of style. The shoe of forriTer years dis torted ft woman's foot and gave the wearer un told agony. Tho present style of shoe ha* heel of not more than an inch in height, and it is placed where it belougs. The toe is round and wide. Thu entire shnjH) follows tho until ral outline of the human foot as far as prne cable. The material is soft calfskin, and tho make is masculine. If tho present fashion lasts long enough the feminine foot will longer be an expressionless bunch of bone* muscle and skin, but it will be mobile, iu stinct with life, shapely and free; in short,just aucli a f*>oi as a pretty and lively girl ought to have. Samurl Folsom, a marine veteran of the war of 1812, died the other dny at the good old ago of 110. All his life he was n hard drinker, au inveterate smoker ond one of tie worst tempered and most disngreeablu of men Under tho circumstances Folsom’s longevity is a mystery. Perhaps his "unmitigated cus acduess" had something to do with it. Tmk inquiry into the mental condition of Mr. Henry Haveifteyer, of New York, develops some quoer facts. Mr. *ll#vcnioyer enjoys such a princely fortune that his luvith man ner of living would not have been considered out of tho way, but certain eccentricities have caused a good deal of talk. His guests dinner partica, for instance, were frequently afttoniahjd at being ushered into tho dining hall with great core mony by Mr. Havameyer himself. When all were seated the host placed himself at tho head of tho table and tupped a silver bell. In •tantly doors flew open on different sides of the room, and in filed what sceinod to be a: imposing deputation of military commanders, hut they were really waiters bedecked ill the gaudy uniforms of Austrian and Prussian gen erals, French marshals and officer* of ©tho effete European countries. The mimic officers were helmeted,plumed, spurred, sworded aud . cpauletted. Each generalissitno boro in his bauds a dish of sumptuous viands. After thi tho dinner proceeded in orthodox fashion. Fi a long time nothing was thought of this ami similar freaks, but now that Mr. Havetnoyer sanity is questioned they aro regarded ns evi deuce of his unsettled mental condition. A ORNTI.RMAR connected with the “Queen and Crescent" route told a Cincinnati repor ter the other day that not a day pasted with out from five to twenty-live farmers and me chanics from the northwest |>a*sitig over his line for points in the south iu search of luml and locations. Tho “Queen aud Crescent’ office in Cincinnati receives every dny an nv crags of a hundred letters from people talking of emigrating to Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida or the Carolina*. Reduced rates are now offered to the land explorer who desires to visit the south, and this policy is producing gratifying results. If the movement southward increases for the uext five years iu the same ratio as for the list five years, every hill aud valley iu the south will soon “blossom aa the rose." Governor Ci.zvri.axi* has won great distinc tion on account of his exercise of the par doning power. Succeeding a governor who boasted that he pardoned uone, he ha* boldly pardoned or commuted whenever he felt justi fied in doing so. liecently Dr. Tnlmsge iu a sermon complimented Governor Cleveland upon his courageous exercise of the pardoning power. A weak man in the executive office Is frequently deterred from showing clemency to Qic innocent because there is a strong disposition on the |*art of the public to regard a verdict of guilty as conclusively es tablishing the defendant's guilt. The dread of losiug votes is another restraint. Now all thi* so far from*aiding the course of justice it an obstacle in its way. While stupid aud cor rupt juries frequently suffer the guilty to escape, they also, at times, convict the inno cent. This makes it necessary to lodge the pardoning power somewhere, and the man who exercises it boldly and wisely deserves well of his country. Misa Li la Hirst, the wonderful electric girl from Georgia, has been exhibiting her power* before a party of scientific gentlemen in Washington. Miss Hurst went through the remarkable performance* with whish many of our people are already familiar. When re quired to go through the same feats on a small A Texas preacher recently made tho pocket pistol the subject of a very striking lecturet The speaker said that thu pistol is inode fo • but one purpose, and that is to take httmnn life. The huntsman has no uso for it. The man win* puts one into his |»ockct contem plates n poHsiblo difficulty and homicide. I is the instrument of nine-tenths of the slough Nixz times as many children die in the five summer months as in tho other seven. The causes of this frightful mortality are mainly two, impure water aud impure vnilk. By ex ercising extraordinary caution in the matter of water and milk during the summer months it is possible to save the lives *of thousands of children every year. • Conversation has been called a lost art, and pcoplo are perfectly willing to allow it to re main lost. No circle of men to-day would listen to such a talker as Coleridge or Macau lay, and Madaine do Steel's brilliant har rangiies would empty a room.

Walton News: On last Friday Mr. Eli Smith at tempted to burn the mites out of his hen house, when the hen house caught on fire and the whole top was burned out before the crowd could extin guish the flames, although it was raining hard. Loss, 1,000,000 mites, 100 feet lumber, oue dozen roost poles. No Insurance. Jock Russaw, colored, of Walton county, died on lost Saturday, and a petition for money to buy his shroud, coffin, etc., was carried around Monroe in tha afternoon. A few years ago the Russaw fam ily was a large one, and its members were large, healthy, stout-looking people. A strange fatality seems to have overtaken them, as they are all dead but one. Lon Booker, a negro brakeman on the Mont gomery and Eufauia raifrpad, was killed near Eufaulft Tuesday night while attempting to couple cor*. His body was terribly mangled and he died in fifteen minutes after the accident. A representative of the Columbus Enquirer-Sun heard a southwest Georgia farmer talking about the crops in his section.

Information from Nashville Is to the effect that there was no abduction whatever In the case. The girl, Annie Mason, was Infatuated w ith Norman, and left home willingly with him.
