UNION & RECORDER. Millkdqkvillk, Januahy 4, 188T. V V I 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 tra w ill be in attendance through tlie session. Special transportation facil ities will be provided. The detailed program will lie ready soon. For copies, or other information re garding the work of the Association, address C. U. l’RINGLE, Pres.

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.

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 Ne ws.
