H. W. Grady in New York.
Mr. Henry W. Grady, of the Atlan
ta Constitution was in New York
when the noted “New 1'lngland Sn-
eiety." composed of natives of the si\
states which gave it its name, had
their annual dinner, 'l'lds is always
a notable event and the members of
the association are so very exclusive
in their feelings and practices, that it
is said they have never before had a
Southerner' as a guest—at least since
our great civil war we suppose.
However that maybe, Mr. Grady re
ceived an invitation to the dinner
and was also requested to be one of
the few— composed in general of the
most distinguished citizens of the
country—who would be called on to
make speeches on that occasion. Mr.
Grady was not only invited to the
dinner; but a few other of the more
distinguished Southerners living in
Nvw York were invited to the dinner
also—either to keep him in counten
ance, so to speak, or to be ready to
hold him to a rigid account, should he
under the difficulties of the situation,
concede too much to the prejudices of
the gi cat assemblage of New Knglan-
ders or fail to stand squarely up to
the rights and claims of the Southern
people. Mr. Grady and his Southern
friends were duly on hand and the
former delivered an address which had
the surprising result of being eminent
ly satisfactory to the adherents of
both of the’great sections of our
country, and of exciting quite a furor
of applause and commendation a
mong the (supposed to be) cold blood
ed Now Englanders. A distinguished
gentleman a Republican in politics—
who was present, is said to have re
marked that 4m had never before
known a man to make such a reputa
tion by a thirty minutes speech in
New York, during his many years
residence there. In short, Mr. Grady
had the difficult task of steering safe
ly between Scylla and Charybdis and
he succeeded in making the trip in
a most triumphant manner, without
lowering the ling of his section in any
degree; and he is entitled as our rep
resentative to the highest commenda
tion. Regretting that we cannot
publish tho whole of the address, we
have printed in another place a sy
nopsis of a portion of it, taken from
the N. Y. Sun.
Col. R. M. Johnston.
(Job R. M. Johnston has a short sto
ry In Harper’s inasra7,ine entitled
“Martha Reid’s Lovers.” We have
not read the story but we know it, is
studded witli thought and bristling
with beautiful and burnished points;
for genius is indigenious to his mind.
Col. Johnston was raised in Georgia
and educated at Mercer. He now
rauks among the first writers of
America and his literature will illus
trate Georgia and Mercer long after
the present generation shall have
passed from the busy scenes of life.—
Macon News.
The above notice of one of Geor
gia's favorite sons and most accom
plished writers, is just and truthful
and coming from the pen of one who
is so capable of forming a correct
judgment, as Mr. Kit Warren un
doubtedly is, will lie read with more
than ordinary pleasure by the many
friends in Georgia of the distinguish
ed gentleman to whom it relates. Hy
the wav, “Two Gray Tourists,” giv
ing an’account of the writer's travels
in Europe, is one of the best books of
travel we have read for a long time
and is especially interesting to South
erners, as giving a view of tho people
and things in foreign lands as seen
ffoui the standpoint of a southerner,
having tastes, feelings, likings and
prejudices similar to those of the
reader. This work we believe is Col.
Johnson’s last, and is well worth the
time and money necessary to enjoy
its contents.
Gen. I.ogan was a good soldier but
not shrewd In business matters. Sev
eral years ago lie owned a farm in
Illinois, and although he was warned
that a geological survey of the State
proved that there could not be coal
on his property, a rascally contractor
came along who insisted to the con
trary. He said that lie would drill
down after coal on tlie farm and if
he did not find it he would charge
uotliing. If he was successful lie was
to be paid $0,003. Logan thought it
was a good offer and accepted it. The
fellow ran his drill down about 800
feet ami found nothing, but “salted”
the hole with specimens, which in*
carried to ttie general, who paid him
$6,000. and the rascal decamped. At
an expense of about .<30,000 Logan
caused a shaft to he sunk to the point
where tin* swindling contractor de
dared lie had discovered a vein ot
coal, and then the fraud was discover
ed.
Cluverius, the condemned murderer
of Fannie Lillian Madison, of Virginia,
has sent out circulars to tlie members
of the General Assembly for the pur
pose of getting them to sign a peti
tion asking the Governor to grant
him a reprieve until they meet. When
tlie Legislature meets Cluverius hopes
they will recommend the Governor to
commute his sentence to life impris
onment. Unless the Governor calls
an extra session, which, however, it is
probable that be will do, for tlie con
sideration of important State mat
ters, tiie Legislature will not meet un
til it assembles in regular session in
December, 1887.
Tlie Manufacturers’ Record of B.d-
timore says iu its issue of the present
week: “That 1886 lias been tlie most
remarkable year in many respects in
the history of the Southern States,
and more has been accomplished for
the prosperity and progress of tlie
whole South than ever before in any
year.” _
Congress will meet on the 4th of
January, and will expire by constitu-
ional limitation on the 4th'of March.
Southern States Forestry Congress.
Tlie Second Annual Session of tlie
Southern Forestry Association will
convene at DeFuniak Springs, Flori
da, on Tuesdey, Feb. 15th, 1887, and
continue in session four days.
Delegates will be appointed by Gov
ernors of the Southern States.
Gentlemen will be present, repre
senting the National Department of
Forestry and the American Forestry
Association. Papers will lie read, and
addresses will he delivered on nearly
every phase of the subject of Forestry.
Gov. I. Sterling Morton, the origina
tor of Arbor City in the United States
will lie present, and deliver an ad
dress,
On the third day of tlie session, will
occur tlie opening of the Third An
nual Session of the Florida Chautau
qua, which will be an occasion of un
usual interest,
A Fine Cornet Rand and Orches

Interstate Agricultural Convention,
at Lake Charles.
Governor MoEnery, of Louisiana, lias
issued a cull for an International Con
vention in tl| ( . interest of stock-raising,
dairying, fruit-growing, and general
agriculture, to lie held at Lake
Charles, La., on the 22d, 23rd and 24th
of February, 1887.
The convention will be formally
opened on Wednesday morning, after
the close of Mardi Gras.
One of tlie most noteworthy in
dications of the great industrial pro
gress of tlie Gulf States is the marked
attention of their public men to agri
culture and the efforts they are mak
ing to bring the theory and the
methods of agriculture in those
States into harmony with the teach
ings of (science and the highest de
mands of a progressive civilization.
Nature lias been prodigal of her gifts
to the State of Louisiana. For fertil
ity of soil, salubrious climate, and for
great variety of products, Louisiana
ranks among the most favored coun
tries of the globe.
Governor MoHnory lias shown com
mendable wisdom in thus giving the
weight of his official influence to call
a convention which cannot fail tobeof
inestimable value to the farming inter-
,'stsof that State and the country gen
erally. We trust it may be widely no
ticed by the press, and that tlie re
sults may be all the people anticipate.
This convention is so called that ex
cursionists can remain in New Orleans
t ill the close of Mardi Gras and take tlie
train for Lake Charles on Tuesday
evening.
Full information in regard to tlie
convention and tlie low rates of
transportation, can l>e obtained by
addressing the Secretary,
S. Knapp,
r ^ Lake Charles, La.
The Governor of Georgia has been
requested to appoint delegates to said
convention.
The President’s Health.
Washington, January 2.—The
President has entirely recovered from
t he fatiguo incident to his long pub
lic reception yesterday and is in bet
ter health tonight than before the
hand-shaking of New Year’s day.
Regarding tlie alarming reports
which were circulated last night
about the President’s condition, Col.
Lamont to-night said: “Thoro is
every disposition on tho part of thoso
at the White House to keep the pub
lic accurately informed as to tho con
dition of tlie President, The reports
are simply without foundation.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Macon Telegraph says that at the Ex
ecutive office on Friday afternoon the
Governor, the Attorney-General, the
Treasurer and Comptroller-Genera
had a conference in regard to the ap
propriation for the School of Technol
ogy. There was a long and full dis
cussion and interchange of views.
There was no decision reached, but at
the conclusion of the conference the
Attorney-General was directed to sub
mit his opinion in writing of the legal
points covering the question at issue
There is hardly a doubt liow he will
decide, as it is intimated, that the
appropriation under the act and the
law is immediately available,—Albany

I t is a singular fact that the late
Brigadier General Henry K. McKay,
the late Col. Willis A. llawkins anil
Col. Mark H. Rlamlford, now a justice
of the Supreme Court of Georgia,
wen* in the old Twelfth Georgia In
fantry at one time during the late
war, and all subsequently were on
tin* Supreme Court bench of this
State—first McKay, then Hawkins,
and now Blandford. Atlanta Journ-
Bill Palmer, a notorious negro poli
tician of Quitman, is is jail for false
swearing in connection with the loss
of a package containing $3,000 by Mr.
Groover, cashier of tlie bank of that
town. The negro swore that Groov
er left the package in McCall’s store,
while Mr. Groover swears he was not
in tlie store on the morning the mon
ey was lost.

one bullet took effect. It entered his
