In the corner-stone of a Protestant
Episcopal church, whose erection was
begun last week in Biooklvn, tftere
was placed a phonographic* cylinder,
Incased in tin, upon which a member
bad spoken in the najne of the con

shall at some future time uncover the

A family in Dover, N. J., who have
long been missing valuables, were
amazed a day or two ago to Hud them
in the secret nest of a pet goose.
Among the articles which tile bird

pins, spools of sewing silk, silver lace
and a Waterbury watch.
There is trouble in the First Con
gregational church in Lockport, N.
Y., over a refusal to admit candidates
to membership unless they promised
to abstain from dancing, card-playing

the withdrawal of seventy-five promi
nent members, including a good share
of the wealth of the church, and tile
formation of a new church.
Last week Judge Hare of Philadel-
pbia sentenced John McManus to
death. Notwithstanding t lie fact
that be has been on tlie bench thirty
years the judge has sentenced but
two men to be banged, and the most
singular tiling about the matter is
that both men quarreled over the
same woman which led to the mur
ders. Jealousy for this woman was
the motive for both murders, and,
with one of her victims in the grave
and the other sentenced to the fal
lows, the creature goes back to her
haunts of vice and iniquity.
The Senate has overthrown the de

The Old War Horse-
When reconstruction had crushed
the spirit of Georgia Democracy, un
til desertions nearly obliterated the
border line; when the divine elo
quence of Hill alone could check the
tendencies todeppa-ir, the plastic.hand
of strong Tom Hardeman seized the
colors, rallied the manhood of the
State, and marshalled it to a deliver
ance victory of sixty-two thousand ma
jority for James M. Smith. Since
that auspicious day, peace has filled
our borders with songs of progress.
The consummation of a great Hope
looms in the near future and fires our
State pride. Yet he, our Moses—
neither lawyer nor farmer, merchant
or manufacturer, but soldier, patriot,
statesman—bath no monument. Do
we hear the throbbingsof the popu
lar heart, calling him to the Chief
Magistracy? True he does not seek
it. But shall this free gift of a grate
ful people be the crown of reward to
faithful services, or the prey of th*
greedy?

The Girls’ Industrial College.
The state is to be congratulated on
the work which is being done to ad
vance the interests of Georgia’s nor
ma! and industrial college for girls.
The people of Milledgeville are prov
ing themselves worthy of the trust
which has been reposed in them by
the state, and it is probable that the
college will be ready for the admission
of pupils by the first of January next.
It is very evident that the citizens
of Milledgeville do not intend to let
the college lack at the’.r hands. Their
recent liberal donation to it of $10,000,
which wits supplemented by a loan of
$12,000, placed in the hands of the
trustees lust week, shows that they
are thoroughly enlisted in ttie spirit of
the work, which will be pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible.
But not the people of Milledgeville
alone should take pride ami interest
in this noble institution, which is to
exert such a wide spread influence
throughout the state; but it should be
generally endorsed and sustained by
the people of Georgia and by the leg
islature which sanctioned it, and to
which it will look for encourageuieut
in ample provision for its needs.
The practical education of our gil ls
is important, and the fact that it has
been so long neglected should stimu
late the people to renewed and active
interest in the work. When its
doors are thrown wide open to them,
it will be nu institution to which they
can point witli pride.—Constitution.
There is a young man in this coun
ty who was left considerable money
by bis father. He thinks now of turn

seem to know so much better than he
what to do witli it.—Ft. Valley Lead

A Baltimore girl 1ms gone insane
because she wasn't born a man.
She never bad to meet the rent, nor

when she was well off.
Hon. W. J. Northen made a straight
forward and manly talk to the Alli
ance aud the citizens of McDuffie and
adjoining counties 'on Wednesday.
He puts himself squarely in the race
and flatfooted on the side of the far
mers, where he has always been. His
speech made a fine impression in Mc
Duffie, aud will do him good through
out Georgia.—Augusta Chronicle.
Madison wants to build a railroad
to Eatontou. We are glad of it. We

inure to our interest let us encourage,
and act promptly.—Eatonton Mess.

As a lover of my race, as a thinner
and believer, as one capable of trac
ing cause and effect, 1 was truly sor
ry that Baldwin county voted to re
establish drinking shops. 1 see anu
treat man ns he is, not as to what he
should be,taken from a spiritual point
of view. 1 have nothing to do with
his spiritual nature, but his material,
his rational and carnal nature, and
knowing man as I do, I know that he
is a child of temptation, I know the
strength of human passions and the
craving of appetite, and especially
when that appetite or desire for cer
tain things is inherited. Man is a
creature of sore trials and an ever
mental warfare,—mind,and reason vs.
flesh and appetite.
The Buddhist religion has in one of
its commandments, “Thou shall fol
low a sinless occupation.” The Eastern
Code of religious morals among the
Egyptians, Persians and other nations
were high. They knew the power of
temptation, and legislated against it,
from a religious standpoint, they
did not believe in too much human
liberty, where temptation was about.
They lelt:
“What war so oruel or aeige so sore.
As that which strong temptations doth
apply,
Against the fort of reason evermore,
To bring the soul Into captivity.’
I write not in the interest of the
old man; his habits are a part of him
self, his opinions have ripened into con
viction. The grave will soon bo his
home; his tongue and experience and
example will soon be lost to the world.
I raise the danger flag to the young
man. I would warn him first of a
habit, and then of a disease. Alco
hol m a poison, and leaps to the brain
with lightning rapidity; it is as quick
in its work as the bite of a rattle
snake, but not such a deadly poison
in so short a time.
The young man imagines that he
can play with a poison that makes
the braiu its play ground. That
makes a man a fool, that destroys his
mental equilibrium, that changes his
sober nature to one of a drunken.
That fires the blood, and excites the
passions, that leaves the scar of de
sire and appetite which is inflamed
into a habit, which ripens into dis
ease and early death. To day I could,
in Milledgeville, go to the cemetery
and poiut out the graves of twenty of
my associates in early life, who cut
short their lives by drink. Bright
men, good men, able men, but slaves
to the desire for strong drink. It is
the loss of self-control that I am try
ing to impress upon the reader. Ht
who can drink with moderation, lie
whose nerves are ever under his eon
trol; he whose appetite is driven with
the rein of self-restraint; he whose
power is ever at his command, are
those who can drink with moderat ion.
But he whose brain is excited, stim
ulated, and whose reason is paralyzed
by a drink or two, is the last man to
touch liquor of any sort. He is lost,
lost, if he once becomes a 6lave to the
habit of drink. Disease will soon
claim him as its own, and the grave
will demand the victim in time,
I have no unkind word for the man
who sells liquors; he is after making
money in a fast and sure way. He
but caters to the weak points in hu
man nature. Like the gambler lie
simply holds out inducements. Adam
could not resist temptation, and what
must be expected of his children. The
story of the garden of Eden teaches a
wonderful and pointed lesson if prop
erly understood. God to make short
work of the further tempting Of man,
drove him out of the Garden. We
have no authority that the trees of
Knowledge or Life were cut down,
but they were guarded; they were
there but man could not get to them.
I would guard the selling of liquor,
and make it only a necessity, and not
a beverage. I am for looking beyond
the ptyent to the child to be born. I
would destroy the disease in the pa
rent, so that the child would not be
cursed with the appetite of strong
drink. If you desire to kill the tree,
kill the roots. In this day, where
there is more disease than health, I
would re enact the old Lacedemonian
law and look after the public health;
for health is wealth. It is a sound
people with sound minds; it is the cur
tailing of so much insanity and drunk
enness throughout the land; for drunk
enness and insanity are twin sisters.
My idea of the fullest liberty is:
“That a man has the right to do as he
pleases, so long as he plesses to do
that which is right. No man has the
right to scatter disease in Iris family,
for tlie greater the number of chil
dren he lias, the more the disease is
scattered in time. That is physiolog
ical truth and fact. Go to the asylum
and tl ere study cause and effect;
there learn that the habits of the pa
rent curse the child at some period of
life.
Young man beware of the h^bit of
drink for you are a diseased man be-
ore you know it.
'No fort can bo so strong,
Noileshybroastcanarnied.bo so sound,
But will at last bo won with battery long,
Or unawares at disadvantage found.
He who most trusts in arms of fleshy
might—
And boasts in habit’s chain not to be bound,
Doth soonest fall In this adventurous light,
And yields his self-respect to victor’s most
despight."

A Haunted House.
This body of ours has been likened to a
tenement. It often has a haunted apartment
—the stomach. Scared by the eldridh sprite,
dyspepsia, digestion flies and refuses to re-
turu. What can break the spell, what can
raise the ban laid upon the unhappy organs?
We answer unhesitatingly, Hostetter’s Stom

sponse by tne recorded testimony of myriads,
covering a period of over a third of a century.
A course of the Bitters, begun In any stage of
the affliction, and persistently followed, will
terminate in cure positive, not partial. The
Bitters restores tone to the epigastric nerve,
renews and purifies the Juices exuding from
