Tax Mary Oommandery of Knights
Templar, of Philadelphia, in r iseing
to New Orleans, stopped over in
Atlanta on Wednesday and received
a warm welcome from the gallant
Knights of that city. The Quakei
City Knights number upwards of a

accompanied by over forty ladles,
and traveled in parlor cars.
The Charleston News publishes an
account of the granting of five di
vorces In Colleton county in bou'ti
Carolina, We have seen it stated
very often and have never before
seen anything to the contrary that
divorces could not be granted In
South Carolina, and we are sorry
that we have been misinformed for
we are opposed to granting divorces,

Col McClure, the Philadelphia
editor, who is trapesing, and has
been speech-making all along the
line ot travel from the Quaker Citv
to New Orleans, was arrested on ar

The Savannah Newssays: The oat

of the II ckv Mountains hav<- pooled
their issues and will have thdr owr
price for their output h< r'after. I'
they become too exuctii g, no doubi
a few new mills can get in some very
profitableoompetinglwork. It is be
lieved that an oat mill in (T orgla
could do well, and besides furnish the
farmers ot the State a much needed
market tor their oats.
It Is hard for some good people to
understand why Republican office
holders should be willing to retain
places under President Cleveland,
and give their aid in making a D m
ocraticadministration aauocess.whi n
the leaders of their party have be- n
so loud in their predictions of a dead
failure. They should all throw up
the official sponge and lot the D< m
ocratlo party show its until nose to ex
etoise power. That Is just wha'
Democrats want them to do.

BKKCHKR ,Pi» TALHAHK.
It Is noticeable that at the taele ot
pews in Beoohet'e church a few days
sg >, the amount, received was les-.-
titan that last year, while at the sab
of pews in Talmage’s ch.irch last
Monday night the amount received
was considerable larger t han that re
ceived last year, Can it be tlia
Beecher’s popularity Is waning and
Talmage's popularity increasing*? It
seems so from the sale of pews in
their respective churches.
In one thing Talmage was wiser
than Beecher. He kept out of poli
tics during the late campaign. Hi
demstded purer politics and had hie
say about personalities. Intemper
ance, biibery, fraud and, in fast
about every thing that relates to the
moral side of a great, campaign, but
be did not abandon hie position as h
religious teacher. Beecher, on the
other baud, ceased to be purely a
preacher for the time being,and play
ed the part of a politician. He enter
ed the arena of political discussion
and gave and took some pretty hard
blows. He fought in a good cause
and helped to win a great political
victory. He did tt, however, at the
expense of hie popularity as a preach
er. Beecher’s experience shows that
a preacher oanuot take a leading part
in polities and retain Ute influence
and popularity.—Bav. News.
The Washington monument has al

Prof. Simon Newcomb has been using
the top of the monument for measnr- 1

that be has obtained more accurate

magnitude of the sun. The velocity

FLOATING OVER LONDON
M • Height Which Mak*. at the Greet
City u Toy Village.
tLongu.au’H Megazlne. J
All who have made anything like high
lacents have exhausted tropes and figures
In attempting to descrilie their emotions
In the presence of what they beheld.
To my thinking it is too much like trying
to describe music—when all is said the
amotion is not reproduced, or but very
faintly. Mil) we have at least to
deal with visual objects and scenic
effects. The horror and mystery of
suddenly coming to a black cloud 8,018;
lent thick -so thick that the balloon
ceased to ire visible from the car this can
be realized. It was tjlaisher’s experience
in (oxwell’s big balloon. A snow storm
at high altitudes is very expressive and
lonesome. About 10.000 feet above Cam
berwell, in the middle of a hot .lune, Mr.
Llthgoe told me be was refreshed with
one, and came down with his balloon in
midsummer still covered with snow. 1
have noticed the strangely solid, fixed and
often motionless appearance of the white
billowy clouds, treacherous pillows invit
iug one to step out and recline upon them
without a hint of Instability. Presently,
smitten with a crimson cloud, their edges
maybreak into fame, and as one looks, a
silent rift is made, and thrjugh them a
distant wilderness of the deep firma
mental blue.
Let us ascend soon after sunset in imag
ination. Nothing can exceed the weird
solemnity of night in a balloon To float
above London and see the whole city like
one vast llame-map at one s feet, twelve
miles square of irradiated street, with the
winding river picked out by the electric
light and as one rises the whole shrunk
to about the size of a chess-board. This
vision in a moment reduces the mightiest
city In the world to the proportions of a
toy. The earth itself, as we ascend
higher and higher, loses importance to
the “clear obscure” above us, to which we
seem hurrying apace. Only the heavens
are now worthy of contemplation, but
the stars are changed, they hang more
golden and globular, as in the tropic, or
as in the poet's vision.
As a cloud rolls from the “opal widths”
of the moon the stars grow faint. She is
light, but hangs in the blue blackness, and
seems to give no light, so greatly attenu
ated is the light-bearing ether in which we
now swim. Perhaps the physicist emo
lions confuse orintensify the power of the
eye. This singing in my ears is oppres
sive; this constant oozing of blood in my
mouth is, to say the least, trying. I am
also very cold, the thermometer many de
giees below zero; but the cold is dry and
bearable, and there is little wind; but a
black veil hangs lieneath, just edged hero
and there with silver and shot with moon
flakes. My head begins to swim, pud the
valve, lot us descend. Down through the
night, info the moon-flaked cloud; ’Us 500
feet thick, ami seems to have formed ir. a
moment It hangs over us now. Still
down, down, thousands of feet. The
lights of earth gleam feebly beneath me
like tiny sparks. The great city has van
ished. I have bad no sense of traveling,
but I have flouted clear over I ondon.
'1 he rapidity of our descent was terrific.
In another moment I smell the hay. ’Tis
midnight; the still summer fields are close
beneath us. The moonlight is now dif
fused and soft, the air is warm and
scented. The car drops silently like a
feather; we alight on new-mown hay.
A CuriouM I’ltohor-J’tuut.
[Floral Cabinet. ]
The pitcher plant or monkey-cap of the
east has a whimsical arrangement which
borders closely upon the human economy.
To the footstalk of each leaf of this plant,
near the base, is attached a kind of bug,
shaped like a pitcher, of the same con
sistence and color us the leaf in the ear
lier state of its growth, but changing with
aeto a reddish purple. It is girt around
with an oblique band or hoop, and cov
ered w ith a lid neatly fitted, and movable
on a kind of hinge or strong fiber, which,
passing over the handle, connects the ves
sel with the leaf By the shrinking or
contracting of thia fiber the lid is drawn
open whenever the weather is showery or
damp. When sufficient moisture has fill
len and the pitcher saturated, the cover
falls down so firmly that evaporation can
not ensue. The water Is thus gradually
absorbed through the handle in the foot
stalk of the leaf, giving sustenance and
vigor to the plant. As soon as the pitch
ers are exhausted, the lids again open to
admit whatever moisture may fall; and
when the plant has produced its seed, and
the dry season fairly sets in. it withers,
with all the covers of the pitchers stand
ing open.
Spain's Fighting Hulls.
[Madr.d Cor New York Telejrram.)
I felt some curiosity to know where
the hulls came from, for all bulls are not
of the fighting kind. Upon inquiry I
learned that the fighting bulls came from
Andalusia, in the southern part of Spain,
and are carefully bred for this especial
purpose. My next anxiety was to see
how they took them from place so place,
and my curiosity was gratified by witness
ing the transfer of a number of bulls
intended for the ring from the ears to the
stables in the amphitheater. They were
removed one at a time with the assistance
of a drove of oxen trained for the purpose
These, oxen were twelve in number, all
white, and large, tine looking animals.
Most of them had liells around their necks.
They are trained to surround the bull, and
seem to coax him to come quietly along.
They follow a leader who obeys the
voice of a horseman who goes ahead and
guides them. Other horseman are in the
rear and on the flanks, but are mun ted
on good fleet animals that can get out of
the way of a mad bull when necessary,
and it usually is necessary when the bull
comes that way.
A Natural Result.
(Philadelphia Call. I
Plumber s Wife (sitting by his lied clad
in embossed velvet gown and with $135,-
000 worth of jewels scintillating on her
ears and fingers)—la he dangerously ill,
doctor.
Doctor—No, indeed. He is the most
comfortably off of all my patients,
“But what ma;, s his right arm and
hand shake so?”
“Thais only scrivener’s palsy. ”
“Palsy I” she exclaimed, with a clasp of
her jeweled hands: “ What could have so
prostrated my dear Algernon "
“He has been writing too much with
out a rest, ” smiled the doctor. “He tells
me he has been steadily at work, day and
night, for four months past, making out
his annual bills. "
To Save Coal.
[Chicago Timos)
If a piece of sheet iron is cut the same
size as the inside of the bottom grate, and
laid on the bars which constitute that
bottom, most fireplaces will burn just as
well, less heat will be driven up the
chimney, and less coal will be burnt.
The chimney must, of course, not be one
liable to smoke; the room must have a
fairly good draught, and the fireplaces
which answer best are those which are ths
opposite aide of the room from the door.
Poverty and Culture.
(Philadelphia News.]
To be sure, you get the best touches of
human nature from the humble. The
poor furnish the best lessons of life.
Those who struggle for bread or a place in
the world teach us the most and tell us
th. best stories that are written. Culture
is too apt to make us liars. Perhaps not
in the offensive sense, but in reality. To
sit on the wheel of fortuue and stop at
the stile marked style and fashion means
to appear what we are not and act what
we do not believe;
