TOPICS OF THE WEEK.
Attabta la nown little ahead ol the Georgia
cltlca in the matter o( Sunday Urn and their en
forcement, but even in tbe old colonial times
Georgians were very particular about the observ
ance ol the Sabbath. A number ol the Georgia
Gasetto, dated April 23,17M, contains an ordi
nance ol tbe mayor and connrtl of Bavtnnab,
wblch la vary strict. It provides that no public
sporta or pastimes, aa bear baiting, ball-baltlng,
racing, football, (hooting, banting, fishing, Inter
ludes or playg, dancing, fiddling or other matin
for the sake ol merriment, or any other sports or
pastlmcc whatsoever, shall be nsed on the Lord's
day; end all and every person offending Innny of
the premises shall lorlelt lor every each offense n
•am not exceeding X5 lor the fiat afierue nndt
sum not exceeding £10 for every off**** thereafter.
Baking bread and slaughtering meat, buying or
selling Dab, milk, bread, vegetables were permis
sible before divine service In tbe morning und
after ft In tho afternoon. Citizens were allowed
to buy bntcher'e meat, fish and vegetables in the
open market before eight o'clock Sunday morning
from May 1 to .October L In order that quiet
might be preserved the city marshal, attended by
two or more constables, wu required to walk
through Uta city erery Hunday during divine ser
vice and arrest nil offenders. Borne ol these pro
vision! seem liberal enough, and on thn whole
there la little or nothing to object to. Thelspso
of nearly a century baa not worked any marked
change In onr 8 on day lawk.

Tax Simplicity and modesty of General Grant
never left him. Succesv failed to spoil him. On
hto tour around tha world, when his ship came In
right ol Liverpool, It wu noted Ural tho shipping
wu guy with bunting, the shores wero lined with
people, while cannone were booming and brau
bands were breyDig. Grant never dreamed tbet
all this preparation was lor him, and remarked to
tho captain ol tha veswl that there seemed , lo be
e big holiday going on. When told that
tha demonstration wu In hto honor
ho related to belltva It and remained on deck In
aaUtcen dollar ready made suit taking In tha
slghto. Tha captain, knowing how particular tha
English were In matters ol drew, was worried. He
hinted to hto Ututrioua passenger that he ought
to change hto atUre but he fiatly declined. Final
ly n suggestion wu made to Mis. Grant, and In a
short Uma aha had her soldier rigged out in a
high hat, a frock coat and light pantaloons, look

Tun recent encounter In Memphis between Ed*

npon the applicant The other morning Barnes
eluded Desk on Mein street, striking him a so
vere blow on the bead. Poak retorted with hto
cant. The two clinched, exchanging several
blows, and drawing lha blood at each lies.
They were uparated before any
serious damage resulted. Tbs

Avalanche ua “notoriously eortupt and dlehonut
