Milledgeville, Jan. 2, 1888. ‘ Wiliam McCloskey, who recently went insane at Rockford, 111., Imag ines that he lias poisoned his mus tache. Fully as odd a delusion pos sessed Matthew Thompson, who was lately sent to the Sank county (Wis) insane asylum. He had a mania for having his teeth pulled, and tried to induce dentists to extract all his teeth. _ “No man,” the New Orleans Pica yune says, “ever worries or thinks about his reputation or character un til he knows he ought to lose both. The man with no good character is most ready to fight for honor. A wild man in a barroom shouts loud and says he is a gentleman. He fears people will not quickly notice what sort of a gentleman he is.” Editor Society Journal (to reporter) —Mr. Jinks, the directors have or dered me to raise your salary.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a purely vege table preparation, being free from injurious ingredients. It is peculiar in its curative power. Washington, Oct. 22, 1888. Editors Union-Rkcorskr: Speaker Carlisle, as lie dropped the gavel which declared the House ad journed sine die, wore a smile of triumph that spoke louder than words to his democratic colleagues; it told them of the victory which the House had won over the Senate, in compelling the latter body to take the initiatory in passing a resolution for adjournment, after its republican members had repeatedly stated that unless the House started it there would be no adjournment at all. It has been a long session—the longest by eighteen days io our histoiy—hut the democrats have a right to feel proud of the work they have accom plished in the House. The Mills’ tar iff bill of Itself is well worth all the time that this long session has con sumed. Members of the Senate, par ticularly of its majority, cannot feel pride in the work accomplished by that body; It produced au alleged substitute for the Mills’ bill, which it did not dare to pass, although the opportunity was accorded them on the day it was first reported by the Democratic Senators, who proposed that the debate should be limited to ten days. The republicans refused to allow the debdte to be limited. Why? because they did not wish the mon strosity they had reported to pass; it was like the tin torch and painted transparency, only gotten up for campaign purposes. The quietness with which tho ad journment was accomplished was un usual. There was not a score of members in either House when the gavel fell, and the only notable oc currence was the singing of the Dox- ology in the press Gallery of the House, by the tired newspaper men, immediately after Speaker Carlisle annqunced the adjournment. This action was not intended to be irreve rent, but was rather in the nature of a spontaneous rendering of sincere thanks for a much needed rest after eleven months of continuous work Senator Blaokburn, just before the Senate adjourned, presented the iui nority report of the committee ap pointed to investigate the alleged violations of the civil service law. The report declares that an effort had persistently been made by the majority against the protest of tho minority, to limit the inquiry to the time covered by the present ad ministration, and that all efforts to bring out the facts as to the operations of the law under previous republican administrations, were invariably de nled by a strict party vote. Despite the efforts of the majority, it whs clearly shown by the testimony of several of their witnesses, that all the evils and abuses complained of to. day, came down to this administra tion as an inheritance. The levying of assessments upon Government of ficials for partisan purposes, wus in general, if not universal, practice pri or to March, 1885, and discrimination in the matter of appointments be cause of political views was by no means a novel feature, nor one which has been introduced by the present administration. The report devotes more than fifty pages to a careful analysis of the testimony taken, which shows the majority of the com mittee up in a manner that will not add to their reputation as statesmen. The last bill introduced in Congress was one providing for a Constitution al amendment, requiring United States Senators to be elected by a di rect vote of the people. Mr. Cleveland has consented to go to New York City and review the mammoth business men’s Cleveland, Thurman and Hill parade next Sat urday evening. This action should put a quietus upon all the absurd rumors as to the President not beiDg in sympathy with the re-election of Governor Hill. They are both demo crats, and good ones too. And they will both be elected. The sixty Sioux Chiefs who have been here, have rejected every propo sition made to them by the Govern inent. They insist on being paid $1.25 an acre for all their land, which Secretary Vilas thinks preposterous The Indians have started back to their reservation. Speaker Carlisle is booked ■ for one speech in Ohio and half a dozen in I Indiana. , Unusual efforts are be.iug made here to send every democratic voter in the doubtful States, who is tempo rarily residing in Washington, home to vote. Those who oannot afford to purchase railroad tickets are furnish ed free transportation. The annual report of the General Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service, shows that the servloe is in operation upon 143,713 miles of rail road, and 5,972 miles of inland steam boat routes. The total number of clerks in the service Is 5,094. An analysis of the Senate tariff bill just completed, shows that if euacted into a law, It would reduce the reve nues of the Government on the dutia ble 1 ist less than $15,000,000. A Relic of Ye Olden Time. A copy of tho Milledgeville Recorder dated Jau. 14, 1842, was shown us this week. The paper was addressed to Dr. W. P. Haynes, Sandersville, and wus still preserved by hia daughter as a memento of the long ago. The paper w&s clad in mourning for the recent death of Its editor, Col. Thomas Haynes, who was also at the time of his death Treasurer of the State. As this paper then did the public printing, the columns were of very wide measure, and were largely taken up with the Acts of the legislature, properly signed by C. J. McDonald, Governor, W. J. Wofford, President of Senate and Robt. ,T. Echols Speaker of the House. Sheriff’s sales and legal notices were published froui counties all over the State, we noticed some from Pulaski, Henry, Madison and other counties. » A quaint old advertisement of the City Hotel Savannah arrested our attention. It was set off with a cut of a two and a half story house, with chimney at one end, and travelers were informed that a carriage would be at the depot of the Central road to take them to the hotel. Several pa pers were called upon to copy the advertisement four times and send bill, and the Sandersville Telescope was one of tho papers so named. A prominent Sandersville advertise ment also challenges attention. It reads thus: HEAD QUARTERS 2ND DIVISION, G. M. Ordered that Lewis A Jernlgan be appointed Division Inspector with rank of Lieut. Colonel, and that Chas. A. Greiner, and Joseph Bangs lie appointed aid-de-camps and Wrn. F. Speight, CJuarter Master with rank of Major each, who are to be obey ed and respected accordingly. (Signed) Samuel Robison. Maj. Gen. 2d Division, Those were days of musters, a word that sounds strangely to modern ears. Company musters or drills were then kept up in the militia districts, euch county was also regarded as a're giment, consisting of two battalions, and there were regimental musters of the whole county, under command of a real bona fide Colonel, and there were batalliou musters, when so many districts composing the hatallion would drill, deploy and evoiute. Ah! those were grand olcl days. Many will remember those gallant looking Colonels and Majors with their black cockades and waving plumes, their full military dress with gilt or silver epaulets on their should ers, their flashing round brass but- Numbeb 17* And after a little maneuvering, ye gay and dnshing adjutant, and the gallant major and the daring lieuten ant-colonel, and the cool and, unless his horse got soared by the fife, im perturbable Colonel appeared on the scene, and after giving orders to the companies to form column, the com mand was given, “Forward, tnareh,” In stentorian tones, that bring up t» the mind’s eye tho towering form of a Washington, or the invincible Bona parte, as they proudly headed their heroic legions in the bloody days of old. These troops then inarched out and valiantly occupied some old field, where after a few evolutions and rev olutions, the portentous command was given to “form double column, open order, march," “Prepare for In spection.” Thep ye gallant Colonel and staff or the Major-General and staff with headH uncovered rode through the columns and inspected, so to speak, the anus of the regiment. The pomp, pageantry and para phernalia were immensely augment ed when there was a Brigade or. a Division muster, or a generahreview. To see a Major-General and all cf his staff in their dashing; flashing uniforms, with their white, black, red and blue plumes waving In beauty from their fleroe looking oockadeg, and thus as they dashed proudly by to hear the inspiring notes of a brass band in full chorus, all made a sight that the average country boy never has forgotten. The re-picturing of these scenes of tho past, will be pleasant and grate ful memories to the older class of our readers, while tbelr quaintness we hope will interest with the charm of novelty the young readers of the Herald.—Sandersville Herald. The Central Sold. Tiie Central railroad of Georgia has been sold to the Richmond anU West Point Terminal Company. It is not known if there will be any change ia the officers. From lengthy telegrams from New York, on Tuesday, the fol lowing is condensed : Tho Richmond Terminal Company to-day consider ed a proposition from the holders of the Georgia Central stock to buy con trol of that property. An option had been given on the entire stock of the Georgia Central, and it was deckled ufter a short session to buy oontroL A committee consisting of John S. Moore, John H. Hall and W. 8. Chis olm was appointed to arrange the transfer of the property. Almost the entire capital stook of the Georgia Central is controlled by the Georgia company, which was organized for the purpose, and by purchase of the Georgia company’s stock the Rich mond Terminal will add 2,500 miles of the road to their system, making the mileage for the Rlohmond Terminal about 9,000 miles. The parties to the deal say tho sule was forced on the syndicate holding the stock, apd the parties who bought it at the time General Alexander was elected presi dent got about even. PROHIBITORY LAWS SUSTAINED tons in double rows on their closely buttoned coats, with the breast front covered with bull cloth and a broad stripe of the same running down to their massive boots. Conspicuous al so in this grand tout ensemble was the bright red sash worn around the waist, and the leathern girdle with its broad buckles to which was grace fully suspended a bright scabbard, while the gallant commander grace fully bore his bright gleaming sword in his right hand a la militarle, or waved it in triumph, while dashing at the head of his columns on his spirited charger. To crown all this “pride and pomp andciroumstance of glorious” muster, the inevitable and irrepressible fife and kettle drum sound on the air, and little negroes, boys and even iuen> would rush pell mell, belter skelter to catch up with that music, while wild horses would break bridles and stampede, and lively and hilarious times ruled the hour. The active orderlies would call out “Fall in, men,” and the Captains would Bound out “Right dress,” and then pleasantly bat sternly explain, 1 “Look to the right and dress, men.” The Supreme Court of the United States on au Iowa Appeal. Washington, October 22.—The su preme court to-day sustained the con stitutionally of the prohibition law of Iowa. The point at issue wss the right to manufacture intoxica ting liquors solely for exportation to other states, despite the state law, and it was pleaded that the prohibito ry feature, in so far as the manufac ture for the expotation is concerned, was in conflict with the constitutional provision giving congress the sole right to regulate interstate commerce. The case is that of J. 8. Kidd, distiller, plaintiff in error, vs. I. E. Pearson and 8. J. Loughras. The court holds that the state law prohibiting both the manufacture and sale, except for mechanical, medi cinal and saoramental purposes, is not in conflict with the interstate com merce provisions of the constitution and the deoislon of the Iowa court is sustained.
