For the pleasure and enjoyment,
and consequently the amelioration of
the unfortunate condition of the in
mates of the Asylum, the authorities
have most wisely seen fit, besides
other wholesome recreations each
week, to prepare two extraordinarily
attractive pleasures, one during the
Christmas holidays, and the other, an'
annual picnic during the month of
May.
To those of the patients, not too
seriously deranged to enjoy the week
ly recreations provided for them,
these two special occasions serve as
very valuable adjuncts in the treat
ment of their mental disorders; for
they furnish themes for thought and
pleasing anticipations for weeks
ahead, and, for days in advance,
pleasant occupation* for minds and
hands in preparing the usual decora
tions for the buildings and grounds.
Though these special entertain
ments are intended primarily for the
patients, the relatives, friends and
acquaintances of officers and patients
are invited, and add much to the en
joyment of the occasion.
Thursday, the 13th, was this year’s
anxiously expected era. At an early
hour visitors began to arrive; little
boys and girls, in the hey day and in
nocence of youth, dressed in holiday
attire, young maidens and their “gal
lant swains,” old men, with their
wives and children came in, till by
eleven o’clock, the spacious parlors
and well kept grounds of the institu
tion were alive with the spirit of the
occasion. The long halls and corri
dors of the building rang with the
merry peals of laughter of the boys
and girls mingled with songs, accom
panied with the pianos, and the en
joyment seemed as complete as possi
ble, when the cheerful, kind and geni
al voice of Dr. AVhitaker was heard
above the 'merry din, inviting all out
to the picnic grounds.
Following the quick and happy
step of Dr. Whitaker, the crowd was
led to a large folding door, over
which, in beautiful letters, tastily
wrought in arborvitie and ivy leaves,
was the cheering and appropriate
greeting, the one expressive word,
“Welcome”. This door opened into
a long corridor, delightfully fragrant
with the profuse floral decorations, in
exquisite taste. Over the exit, at the
far end of this corridor—leading out
into the picnic grove—was another
appropriate motto, richly worked in
box leaves “May Day Greeting”.
Passing out here, the piGnic ground
was reached. It is a beautiful grove
of native oaks, enclosed within a wall,
for the double purpose of preventing
intrusion and securing the safety of the
patients. In the centre is a handsome
substantial pavilion, erected and kept
expressly for these occasions, of suffi
cient size to accommodate several
setts of quadrilles at once, with seats
around the sides, and a stand for the
musicians. On entering, the pavillion
was seen already nearly filled, and
hundreds of others (mostly patients)
seated on benches, or roaming at will
under the grateful shades.
To the right were arranged, under
the oaks, a number of long tables,
with plates for several hundred, and
near it, an enclosure, in which a num
ber of attendants were engaged in
converting boxes upon boxes of lem
ons, and sacks upon sacks of snowy
sugar into barrels upon barrels of ice
lemonade, and dispensing to those,
who, if they did not really “thirst for
the water of life,” certainly did thirst
for ice water. Upon an average this
grove must have contained not less
than five hundred souls, of all ages
and both sexes, all enjoying to the ut
most, the pleasures so lavishly pre
pared for them.
From the pavillion, came the notes
of the violin and jingle of tambourine,
that made young toes jingle, and soon,
the well known voice, of Joe Hum
phries, calling “Take partners,” suc
ceeded soon by another call to “bal
ance all,” and that sound of shuffling
feet, so inspiring to youthful hearts,
announced that the dancing had be
gun. This was kept up, amid lively
hearts and peals of merry laughter, by
the devotees of Terpsichore entirely
oblivious of their surroundings, which
ones, more competent to “see sharp,”
observed the process of loading these
long tables with bread, cake, pickles,
lemonade, pies ’n things (no pun)
including a liberal supply of the tra
ditional barbecue, till a feast was
ready capable of satisfying even a
larger assemblage.
At length even those who had appear
ed, till now, to feed only on estherical
sentiment, were compelled to descend
to the more substantial emotions of
this mundane sphere for “Man is a car
nivorous production'’ and must have
meals, at least one meal a day; he can
not live, like woodcocks, upon suc
tions. but like the shark arid tiger,
must have prey, although his anatom
ical construction bears vegetables in
a grumbling way, many good people
think, beyond all question, pork and
mutton, barbecured, better for diges
tion,” and so at about three o'clock,
dinner being ready, dancing ceased
and the inner man was regaled.
After an hour spent thus, the
crowd began to disappear, some for
their homes while the younger people
returned to the parlors to await the
crowning pleasures of the occasion,
the May dance at night in the regular
dance hall. It is one of the finest
dance halls in the State, (perhaps the
largest,) well ventilated and lighted,
with an exceptionally good floor, of
sufficient dimensions to accomodate a
dozen setts of quadrilles at once, with
a niche for musicians, so set back, as
to leaye the hall floor unbroken by
any projection.
At 7.30 p. m. the hall was opened
and soon filled, with, not only many
of the convalescent patients, but visi
tors also from other places. The as
semblage presented an array of wit
and beauty, of “fair women and brave
men,” rarely excelled, Milledgeville,
Scottsboro, Macon, Augusta, Sparta,
Gordon and other places being repre
sented—with quite a number of the
young “sojer boy” cadets in their glit
tering uniforms, making them so be
coming in the eyes of the little misses
present..
Over the entrance to this hall was,
^ evergreen letters, the greeting
Welcome Merry May.”' The chan
deliers were tastily decorated with
May flowers, that loaded the atmos
phere with their rich perfume, and up
on the broad white wall of the rear
en d m a segment of a circle was the
name “Terpsichore,” the Goddess of
the dance, and within its curve, the
date “May 13th, 1886” altogether giv-
mg the hall an inviting, cheerful ap
pearance. Galops, waltzes, polkas
and quadrilles, were kept up, with gay
and happy hearts till eleven o’clock,
when the entertainment was closed,
the authorities observing moderation,
rather than that rollicking spirit
that prompts most pleasure seekers.
°f “we wont go home till morning.”
To “a looker on in Venice'’—one past
the meridian of life, yet in whom
though “the spirit is willing, the flesh
is weak,’ one who not forgetting how*
he himself enjoyed such pastimes at
that age, it was indeed a delightful
pleasure to observe the perfect sea of
heads (12 setts) rising and falling with
graceful movements, to the' music in
“the mazes of the giddy dance,'’ and
to watch the graceful, fairy-like forms
°f the fair creatures, as they floated
so lightly through the waltz or galop,
almost as if borne on fairv w*ings, so
lightly did they touch the floor with
only their toe-tips.
Want of space and the invidious
ness of comparison will not allow* the
mention of even initials of these fair
w'omen and the younger Misses equal
ly captivating in the naivete and in
nocence |of their youth, nor of the
handsome men who with manly grace
and easy dancing, added so much to
the pleasure of the memorable occar
sion. Justice to Milledgeville, howev
er, compels the acknowdedgement,
that no representative excelled hers,
in either the grace and loveliness of
her fair daughters, or the true manli
ness of her men.
The State is to be congratulated up
on the perfect regime of the institu
tion. Indeed no more able, agreeable
and in every way suitable officers
could be found from the kind, genial.
Christian superintendent, to the low
est of the officers.
To the firm, yet gentle and dignified
matron, Mrs. Darnell, sufficient com
mendation cannot be given. To her
managing head and kind heart, assis
ted by the nimble fingers cf those
patients, so devoted to her that it is
ever their pleasure to do her behests,
is largely due the success of the en
tertainment and mainly the beau
ty and taste of the May day flo
ral decorations. It has been the
pleasure of the writer to observe her
passing through the wards, and it is
indeed touching to see the female pa
tients flock to her, as loving children
ground a devoted mother, and see her
clasp them affectionately in her arms
addressing them tenderly as “my
child’’ always with some comforting
w'ords to each. No wonder they all
love her. *
But admiration and a desire for on
ly just commendation are running
away with the pen and this coimnuni-
cation must close with the assertion
that one of the most pleasing memo
ries in the hearts of those w*lio attend
ed will be the recollection of the
“Annual May picnic of May 13th,
1S86.” * “C Sharp.*’
Milledgeville, April 14th, 1886.
The Man on TI10 Bell Tower.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
If you would like to know who I
am and what I am here for just lend
me your ear and I’ll divulge.
To begin, I am a thin tin weather-
indicating fireman—not too thin
however.
In the language of slangue, if you
ever get mashed on me, please re
spectfully bend the knee and Idolize
me, allee samee heathen chinee, for I
am standing and expect to stand
on this pagoda, wind and weather per
mitting.
Although not put here with that ob
ject in view, I am the butt of venera
ble jokes, rheumatic puns, bilious hu
mor and horse laughter.
For all this my hand is not pointing
the finger of scorn at you, although j
w*oukl feel at liberty to assume such
an attitude, conscious of all tlje abu
sive criticism going on around me.
Being too thin to have a mouth
suitable for noise, my voice is hushed
in silence. Providence has come to
my rescue by placing a bell with a
seven hundred pound mouth and clap
per accordingly, at my feet, which, in
good health, will be able to aw*akethe
dead in yonder cemetery, if need be.
Don’t circulate a petition to have
anything done to me, in case I am not
exactly according to your notion, for
although perhaps not complete, I am
finished.
Within me is a feeling of pride at
being unrivalled in my not native but
naturalized city in exalted position
and loftiness of purpose.
While I am, as I have just said,
proud, I am not vain. I am w eather
vane, however.
In my hand I hold a fearful horn,
which I seized and forcibly took from
an Atlanta man, w hen I came through
there. He was blowing a Gordon
boom with it. That is one reason why
I took it away from him. If the At
lanta cornuoopiaist had carefully ex
amined it he would have found out
that by mistake he had got hold of a
regular Bacon fog-horn—a genuine
ram producer—an instrument that I
may lend to Gabriel some day, and un
til then, I intend to toot hog and hom
iny notes through it—Bacon music.
I did not start out with the idea of
puddling in politics when I inaugifra-
ted this soliloquy, but like many a
fool not loaded enough or else too
heavily charged, • I have spoken and
find myself at least knee deep in poli
tics, as above, and hence I now de
cide that as ia all other circumstances
when a man has got into a thing that
don’t fit him, the next best thing he
can do is to get out. So I now turn
my back on politics and my face to
tlie clear blue sky.
Because I do not remain in one po
sition long don’t call me fickle. That
is due to circumstances over which I
have no control.
The hat on my head was put there
in accordance with the eternal fitness
of things, and with the further object
of reminding the Vigilant fire compa
ny that the new hats, caps and other
paraphernalia lately given them by
the city fossils (no, fathers, I mean)
are intended to be used, not abused—
to be worn on parades and other fire
man’s duty and are not meant to
adorn the picaninies’ occiput.
I am now about done.
P. S. and Sub Rosa :—
The above was written while I stood
in my glory braced against illimita
ble space and leaning on nothing and
nobody. For some reason, perhaps
because I leaned against nothing—
being a prohibitionist—I had a sud
den transportation like feeling—and
in a moment’s time I experienced a
sensation as if something unexpected
and aw ful had happened. Upon care
ful examination I found myself where
I thought the foot of my pagoda be
longed—that is, on the ground. It is
unnecessary for me to go into any
long explanation how this happened.
Anyone curious to know that can find
out by doing as -I have done. I am
now in the shop for repairs. This is
not the first time a man has been
doivned by wind.

Cure for Piles-
Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affect ion of the kidneys or neighbor
ing organs. At times* symptoms of
indigestion are present, flatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture like perspiration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after get
ting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding, and Itching Piles
yield at once to the application of
Dr. Bosanko’s Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the part affected,
absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a per
manent cure. Price 50 cents. Ad

Two gentlemen stand prominently
forw*ard before the people as appli
cants for the position of Democratic
candidate for Governor of Georgia.
Both are men who have rendered the
State good service and both would do
the same again if elected to the office
of governor. Now under such cir
cumstances w’hat should w*ise people
do? Simply send reliable delegates to
the State Convention, and having by
actual ballot learned who is the choice
of the people, have him placed in
nomination and on election day go to
the polls and elect him.
There is a great disposition mani
fested on the part of the special
friends of the two gentlemen alluded
to, to make a bitter contest for the
supremacy in the nominating conven
tion. We do not think the masses of
the people are so inclined. They
w*ouid be satisfied with either for gov
ernor; and would greatly dislike to
see the peace and harmony of the
party broken up merely to satisfy the
personal preferences of a compara
tively few.

For I had a fit of ague, «
And my bones were very sore.
Suddenly I read a label,
Of a medicine on my table,
But to reach’t I scarce was able;
I was so infernal sore!
Took I just one dose, ’twas bile beans;
Soundly slept I and did snore.
