Oour.nt, All who want a postoffioc please bold up their hands. HKRrS OUK'N 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. thus ass sow. Hamilton Journal. 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. Bo says ths census. Plowmax. "AiUoULB.’’ 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.
