Chief Justice Fuller had a splendid
ovation at Chicago, on the 24th, on
the «ve of his leaving for Washing
ton to assume the duties of his office.
Many distinguished mea of the Re
publican party united in the banquet
and made highly complimentary
speeches; among these were Judge
GreBham and Hon. Robt. Lincoln.
This is a compliment to Mr. Cleve
land’s sagacity and sound sense.
There appears to be some trouble
in the Senatorial district, embracing
Fulton, Cobb, and Clayton counties.
Rev. Sam Small is the prohibition
candidate, and it is now said that
there will be a regular ticket put out
to oppose the Democratic nominees
for the lower house In Fulton county-
We arc of the opinion that tho dem
ocratic nominee for tho Senate, and
those for tho House will be elected
to-morrow.
Somo of the Georgia papers are
finding fault with the State demo
cratic nominees on the Electoral
ticket foi not haranguing the people.
Nonsense! The people are too busy
with their crops, and oven State Fairs
cannot be held for tho excitement
caused by yellow fever, and conse
quent interruption to travel—then
why disturb them with other excite
ment, political, when there is no use
under heaven for it, there being no
opposition. Tho Electoral nominees
have acted wisely in staying at home.
A young lady in this city dreamed
that she was in company with a num
ber of persons who were lamenting
the spread of the yellow fever. One
of the party held an Atlanta Consti
tution in her hand, from which she
read a poem on the subject. The
young lady on awaking could remem
ber only one verse as follows:
Father above,
As thou sittest upon thy Throne,
Look down in pity and love
Upon thy stricken ones.
Grant us thy peace,
May all our sorrows oease,
And joy again be ours.

SLEBP AFTER A MEAL.
The Brain Should Beat While the
Stomaoh Digests the Food.
From tbe Westminster Review.
There is a widespread superstition,
oherished by the great majority of
the people, that to sleep immediately
after they have taken food is to en
danger health, to favor the onset of
apoplexy, eto., a supersition based on
the assumption that during sleep the
brain is normally congested. There
is no doubt such a thing as conges
tive sleep, but during normal sleep
the brain is amende. When a per
son has taken a fairly abundant luucli
or dinner''the stomach demands a
special iniJnx of blood wherewith to
accomplish its work of digestion, no or
gan can more easily comply witli that
demand than the brain, which, when
in full activity, is suffused with a mux-
ium amount of the vital fluid. But a
derivatio%of blood from the brain to
the stoiuqgh can only take plaoe, ex
cept ia emgptioaally full-blooded and
vigorous, jpersous, on the condition
that thf ofrqhral functions be mean
while partially or wholly suspended.
Many peoyfe after taking dinner feel
in4if^hMf)||9F qiental notion and not
a few loaf for sleeps The already
partially fpftmie brain would fain
yield up tf the stomaoh a still further
supply of fload and yield itself up to
refreshingsleep. Doing so, it gains
new strepgtb; meanwhile digestion
proceeds energetically, and soon body
and mlnd^ure again equipped to con
tinue in fun force the battle of life.
Bur superstition, tiie child of igno
rance, intervenes, declares that sl^ep
during indigestion is dangerous, ad*
monishes the wound-be sleepers to
struggle against their perilous inclina
tion, and,' though telling them that
after dinner they may sit awhile, as
sures them of the adge, “After sup
per walk a mile.”
The millions of its victims continue,
therefore, the strife to which it con
demns them and ignore the sugges
tions of- ed to them by the lower
animals/ who have always practiced
the lessons of sound physiology by
sleeping after feeding whenever they
are allowed to do so. Henoetbe human
brain and human stomach of such vic
tims centend with each other during
the digestive process. The brain, im
pelled by superstition, strives to work
and demands blood to work with,
while the stomach, stimulated by its
oontents, strives to carry on its mar
velous chemistry and demands an
ample supply of blood for the purpose
The result of the struggle is that
neither is able to do its work well.
The brain is enfeebled by being de
nied its natural rest duing the di
gestive process, and the healthy func
tion of the stomach degenerates into
dyspepsia.”
The writer of these comments on
the above, has always contended for
this physiology as wise, and safe,
ever since he took a medical course.
The braiu and tbe. stomach shake
hands on this common sense theory,
and would have it more generally
sustained. J. H. N.
Then They Smiled.
From the Boston Courier.
They met in a horse car, two young
women whose tawny faces showed
that they were just back from the
seashore, and when they had kissed
and embraced, and been through all
the preliminary nonsense necessary
to the occasion, one said to the other:
“Oil you dear thing! I had such a
flirtation with your husband while
you were down east. He came down
to Nantasket almost every night.”
“Yes, lie wrote to me about it,” the
other returned sweetly. “He said you
didn’t seem to know anybody, and
were so lonely he quite pitied you.”
“He was always so kind to neglect
ed girls," the first speaker murmured.
“You know they said when you were
married that he would have taken all
the wall flowers if he could, he was so
generous.”
And then they smiled lovingly on
each other.

“Old Man Plunkett” And The Brave
Georgia Woman.
In Sunday’s Constitution Sept., 28d,
Old man Plunkett tells in his homely,
but truthful and graphic way how
the brave Georgia women fought the
battle at home “enduring of the
war.” He says:
“There was mighty few factories in
Georgia and this made what few there
was always crowded with wimtnin
and children, camped erround, wait
in’ their turn to get thread. The fac
tory managers had to get up a sys
tem en letting out their thread, and
so they required tho wiumiln to form
into a line the same as soldiers, and
then a fellow would stand at a win
dow and give out thread to each one
in turn and they had to make it a rule
that if any one broke line they
would have to go foot. This
was the best that could be done, for
before they established this rule there
was so much crowding and pushing
that they got erlong slower than they
did the other way. '
“What would these stnoe-the-war
wimtnin think of standing in d line tor
t wenty-fonr hours to get to pay seven
or eight dollars for a buneh of thread
that they wouldn’t pick up in ■ tbe
big road these tiinesT It Menas
strange to the young generation, theM
sort of things do, but they are facts,
and that’s what makes me say that
the wimmin done the real suffering in
the war.
“I’ve seed some mighty bad sights
on these faotory expeditions, for I
was ( Id and rheumatic and the wiin-
min always made me go erlong with
’em- jest to say they had a man
erlong, but 1 couldn’t do ’$m much
good „ . . . -
“One rainy night when we had
struck camp oh our way back from
the factory three or four of the children
began to cough croopy and we seed
that we were going to have a night
of it. Tbe old wiinmin got ready some
tobaoco and fixed poultioes, and some
of ’em said that, ly* J^n oak ashes
was good for oroup ana they had
some ready, and it warn’t no great
while before we had to go to using
these things, for the children began
to oboke more and more and to bark
with the croop at every breath, till it
looked like that some of ’em would
die in spite of all that could be dona,
but we soon got ’em ail right but one
little curley-headed girl, that every
body said was tbe sweetest child on
the trip, and she was bound to die, so
they all said.
“Old Sister Brown was sitting on a
box holding the little girl in her lap,
and ail that I could do was to hobble
erround and hold the torch for ’em to
put tilings in the little child’s mouth
with a spoon, and the young mother
was standing over her little girl, every
once and erwhile droppin’ down on
tier knees by her, till some of ’em
said that if Dr. Caldwell could be got
from Zebulon that lie could save the
child and it was no sooner mentioned
than the young mother lit on the
wildest horse in the whole teams, and
put out for Zebulon as fast as the
horse could go.
“The night was dark and the rain
was falling, but that young mother
( idn’t care for nothing, and I’d
knowed tier a many time to squeal at
a mouse running by her and flee from
tbe echo of her own rumbling in the
darkness, but she was brave this
night somehow, and, she plunged into
the creek without stopping to think
whether it would swim, and she was
in Zebulon and bad Dr. Caldwell up
before you’d think about it these
days, and then they started on the
race back to the camp.
“The doctor was a good rider,
and he had a good horse, but he
couldn’t kepp up, and the young
woman kept in front, and every now
and then she’d rein in her horse and
and beg the doctor to hurry and
save her little girl The doctor was
doing his very best, but when they
struck the creek on the way back it
was swimming, though it warn't
that way when she went erlong. The
doctor told iter to be cautious, for tbe
creek was risin’ mighty fast, but she
jest cried and begged him to hurry,
but the doctor stood on the edge of
the water and refused to plunge in
and be drowned, and she wrung her
hands and gathered up the reins and
said ‘I’ll go in front,’ and before the
doctor could do anything her horse
was plunging in the water, and the
current struck 'em and took ’em down
stream, and the young woman lost
her hold on the horse and was strugg
ling in the water.
“The dootor didn't wait no longer.
He lit offen his horse and plunged '
right In and swain to her and caught
her by the hair and held her off and
qp outen the water till they struok.
the bank on the other side, and she'd
no sooner got into water where they
oould wade, till she grabbed the doc
tor’s hand and went putting him on
toward the camp.
“The dootor was what they called a
mighty dignified man, but he was in
a trot as ho come up to the camp,
and the young mother didn’t turn er-
loose his hand till he was right beside-
her little girl, and then lie give it some
lobelia and sich like and wrapped n
wet cloth around its neck and dono-
other things till the little thing began
to breathe all right, and then we was
ail glad and thanked the dootor.
“I’ve seed sights at these factories;
One time thar was said to be seven or
eight hundred wimmin’ waitin’ to get
thread at one of these factories, and
It got to be common talk among tha
Wimmin that these factory folks did
n’t treat 'em right, and they resolved
to have the thread by foroe if they
couldn’t get It no other way. They -
seed the manager and offered what :
money they had and was refused and :
then commenced a sorouglng and er
push in’ to get into the factory, the*
like of whioh I had never seed before,
and I hope will never see ergiu. It.
might have been wrong and might
have looked bad to see them wimmin
takin’ the thread and scufflin’ the same
as men, but it was war times and it
was hard times, and they was stintin’
and'starvin’ while their husbands wan
flghtin’, and they didn’t have much
use fur fellers that kept outen the war
by running these factories., and L
guess it is all right.”
“But,’* continued .the old map, at*
ter a pause, “as hkrdas it was to get
thread and to get wool-rolls, these
wimmin would take the most ofnrbatr
they did get and make it up into clo
thes and socks and gloves for the tpen-
. •• « ,
who was In tbeAtuiy, and then the
settlement would get together and'
make up a box and send It on, andi
nine times out of ten the box would
get lost on the way, and when they’d
find out their loved ones had failed to
receive it they’d jest set down and cry
an hour or two, and then get up and
go to spinnin’ und weavin’ and the-
same thing would repeat itself from*
time to time.
“One soldier felt mighty bad for a
box to come to his company and ha
have nothin’ in it. The wiuiinins
knowed this, and I’ve knowed the-
wimmin and children to set down and
eat dry bread day after day in order
to save, so's they oould send good
things to one far away. The ohildren
didn’t grumble then, neither, like they
do in times of peace, for the mother
would jest toll ’em that they must do
this so as they’d save something to
send to their poor papas, aud that
was enough. I b’lieve folks love each
other more during of the war, enny-
bow, at least it seemed that way to
me.”
“It was a sight to see one of them
boxes fixed up,” continued tho old
man, as he wiped a tear from his eye.
“They would get the box right down
in the middle of the floor anil tho
mother would pile everything erround
that she was goin’ to send, and the
ohildren would kneel erround and
help her, and every one had to put
in some little cake or something, and
they’ll be as hungry as children could
be, but they’d never think of wauting
to eat it. It had to go to papa, and
its one of the sad things of the war
that these boxes hardly ever got to
the poor fellows. Wimmin had a
hard time in the war times, and so
did the children, God bless ’em.
