Sign-Board, at all Oroaaroada.

That fellow Fred Brown, of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, whose vile let
tereffrom tfouihero|oitie*, and sped
ally from Maoon, have created such
a demand for tar and feathers in c< r
tain localities, has stirred a muss
between the Macon Telegraph and
the Atlanta Constitution that may
creates further demand for pistols
and coffins. We dislike to see bad
blood surging anxious fora chance to
be“L»t.” but blood will b
blood.
Fhahob has given official notice
that In carrying on trade with China (
rioe, if found on vessels to or from
Chinese porta, will be treated as*'con
traband of war.” The Chinese seem
to think that quite refreshing, since
their ports and interior pointe are all
full of rioe, and that all the chop
sticks of the empire in good working
order. The best thing France can do
la to get Bismarck to reship Ameri
can diseased potk from German to
Chinese ports.
Ths truck-shipping question is be
ginnidg to raise its bead again; but
if some better system is not arranged
this year than that of last,the Georgia
Carolina and Florida truck raisers
will pay a high tariff for the privi
lege of feeding the North and West
with early and fresh vegetables and
fruits. Trucksters were treated
shamefully last year by somebody,
and it now behooves them to find out
about it and correct it, or quit truck,
lug.

Ths latest Innovation is the Eufau
la election lor postmaster. Wo con
gratulate our neighbor city on the
discovery. The question, however,
seriously arises,wno ordered the elec
tion, who were the electors, who re
ceived the returns, who will regard it
as binding and who will pay the ex
penses of a contest'? These sugges
tions are gratultous.and not intended
to disturb the quiet which must now
prevail upon that bank of the Chat
tahoocnee. One more and we are
done—who will take the returns to
Washington? and as Beuator Ed
munds raises the Constitutional ab
sence of power, who will ratify this
ex parte proceeding? Any answer is
immaterial.
MHK MIUKAL MEKVICB,
For its information, and gratuit
ously, we suggest that there are cer
tain indications in this latitude
which the ordinary observer must
bo familiar with and which as unfail
ing indicia of the changeful seasons
are worthy of observation. The
winds of this region never change
from north to west. That is reduced
to a mathematical! certainty. When
they change it is to the eastward and
thenoe vary gradually south. As
they come in (contact, apparently,
with a decidedly south or southwest
ern strata of what we suppose to be
ratified air, a confusion occurs such
as is engendered by a causal meeting
of pot house politllfans or the excite
ment which grew outof I’am O'SUan
tere laconic utterenoe, "weel done
Cutty Bark.” It is the invariable
breeder of electrioal and cyolonish
disturbance. From which hypothet
ical case, as the lawyers say, will the
Signal Service favor us with a diag»
nosis.

Cooped up thia snow day I picked
up the census reports and turned to
Georgia.
We had in ’SO about the same value
in live stock as in '6O, and five mil
lions more in *7O than ’BO aud we fell
off more than 8,000,000 from '6O to ’7O,
We had in ’BO more than 7,040,000
horses, and 17,000 more in ’BO than in
70. But in ’SO we had 02,000 more
than in ’BO.
We gained in mules and asses from
*6O to *BO about 67,000. We lost from
'6O to *7O about 14,000, but from *7O to
*BO we gained 45,000. We had about
19.000 more mileb-oows in '6O than in
*BO, and about 158,000 more of other
cattle than in ’BO. We lost from ’6O
to *6O about 35,000 milch-cows, and
from ’BO to *7O about 68,000; but from
*7O to ’BO, gained 84,000. We gainer!
of other cattle 126,000 from ’7O to ’BO.
We fell from nearly 7,000,000 bushels
sweet potatoes in 'SO to about 2.500,-
000 tn 70, aud a little over 4,000,000
in *BO.
We had about 1,400,000 more acres
improved farm land in ’BO than in ’SO
and 1,000,000 more than in ’7O.
In ’6O nearly a million more than
in ’BO-
In ’6O we had over 600,000 more
acres in farms than in ’BO.
We fell off from ’6O to ’7O about 3,-
000.000, and from ’7O to ’BO we gained
about two and a half millions. We
have about one million acres of Im
proved farm land lees in ’BO than in
*6O. But we have increased a ti tle
over 1,000 000 from "70 to ’BO
From ’7O to 'BO sheep increased
about 108,000.
From ’7O to ’BO hogs increased
about 460,000.
But In *SO and ’6O we had nearly a
a million more hogs than in ’BO. In
*BO. 101 farms under S acres—2,2oo
farms Ito 10 acres more than in ’60,
and from 10 to 20 nearly 6.000 more
than in ’6O. From 100 to 600 acres
nearly 4,500 more, and from 500 to
1.000 acres nearly 4.000 more than in
'6O, and from 1,000 upward 2,500 more.

Columbus has not, so far, been vis
ited by a “Ghoul.” She has been on
the look out fur the Macon sprite, but
it is safe to affirm, knowing our
“argus eyed” police as we do, that he
went the other way. We hope all
bud luck will. But it reminds us of
the old adage that it is a bad wind
which blows no good to anybody,
and as forewarned is to be fore
armed, we dare assert that if Cin
cinnati’s tramp comes among us
inking notes to print, we shall de
serve Macon’s fate if we do not catch
him—in fact if, tor no other reason
than to propitiate our neighboring
city towards the sea, we would
rather catch Bherwood now than to
catch cold, or any other man, We
feel generally indignant for Macon;
in fact we are in mourning for her
grief as portrayed by her evangelist
of the press, for we have not yet
chawed the cud of her discontent and
don’t know that we should if it was
before us. Neither time or inclina
tion would lead to its digestion. We
have a faraway, incurable abhorrence
of that special feature in modern pro
gress wnich repr-cents the modern
without the progress. At the haxard
of fogyism, we prefer to linger as to
some things to which wc still cleave,
w th hose undent methodsand man
ner s when the press was the honest
vehicle of public sentiment upon
public questions, and the home aud
fireside of the citizen, however hum
ble, was the castle which neither the
King or the press might Invade. It
the anathemas of the Telegraph
against McClean, whose tool ”Bher
wood” was, need confirmation, we
give ours freely; but, gently as we
proceed further. Hue not the entire
press,our humble share.lf you please,
catered to this morbid propensity for
news, always more retreshing when
spicedwU/l scandal? Hus it not, in
deed, become that noxious insect
which infects where it files and
poisons Where it reposes? If so,
while the past is Incurable, it might
be well that we look to the future be
fore it is hopelessly too late. It
scandal is sodestastetul.aud scuudal
izurs so dlsplcablo in fact as well a
in expression, way such a demand
for the work of the scandal-mongers
as stated by the Telegraph and Mes
senger? bay!
Tub proposed visit of the Prince
and Princess of Wales to Ireland,
and their declared purpose to make
a tour of that unhappy country is
wise and tiiualy. Tbs Prince of
Wales is said to be a sensible man
aud popular of manner, and well cal
ouiuted to couoiliute the better ele
ment of tue disaffected Ainu people.
We could never understand what
benefit the English people or govern
ment could expect from oppiession
or injustice to Ireland, and as the
probability is strong that oulv a few
years more will elapse belore tue
Prince of Wales of to-day will,be the
King of Great Butaiu uud Ireland, it
looks highly proper mat he should
visit the country uud assure the peo
ple of his oouildenue in, uud good in
tentions toward them. The Irish are
a great people, and are so placed
to-day, us to be able to do England
more good or barm, than many of
her other dependencies. We would
like to see a policy established be
tween the two people that would re
store a cordial reconciliation, uud if
the Prince of Wales cun inaugurate
it, be will make for himself the fore
most place among the statesmen of
tue ago. It is a work worthy of bis
personal dignity aud of his highest
political ambition.
As to what wo drink, the American
Grocer says: ’’During the past ten
years the inhabitants of the Republic
have drunk annually an aveiage of
65,900.700 gallons of spirits, in 1875
the consumption was. iu rouu ■ uu ü
bora, 66,000,000 gallons; lu 1876. 69,-
' 500,000 gallons; in 1878 t. e cousump
i tiou fell oil about 8.000,000 gallons,
but since then tub increase has been
steady, though it has not kept up
with the increase iu population,
1 reaching in 1884 over 81,000,000 gal
> lons. The consumption of malt,
liquors has doubled in ten years,
rising from about 295,000.000 gallons
io 1875 to 590,000,000 iu 1884. At the
same time the consumption of wines
has decreased, failing from 28,000,000
gallons 1U 1880 to 20.000.000 in 1884.
I’he average consumption of malt
liquors per capita has nearly doubled
during the last ten years, while that
of spirits aud wine has declined.
During tue period under review there
has been a very decided increase iu
the consumption of coffee, which is
said to amount to 16 gallons per
capita as compared with loj gallons
of beer, 1.44 gallons of spirits aud 0.36
gallons of wine.
