ITIB Mill Ul’tt J. 11 Estelle, of the
Bavaunah News, 1* an applicant for
the position of publto printer at
Washington. We will vote for Mr.
Eetellee, though we would dislike to
■ee him go to so hard a place a« Wash
ington. ’Tls an awful olimate, and
the other official surroundings are
terribly demoralising—but we are
nevertheless for Estelle.
Mb. Gla dot >kb went out one dav
recently and bought a large lot of old
books of no value for antiquity, and
several hats. This is regarded, It Is
said, aa an evldenoe that bis mind l«
giving way under the strain of tb>
great work that Is upon him. But If
a man's bead fs wrong, wbat does he
want with book? and hate? Wo Ibh vt
the matter with El Mahill and Mi,
Parnell.
Thb prise skaters who bad a six
days' contest In Madison Bquare Gar
den, New York, last week, are In a
bad fix, The first pris t man Is bunged
ap for life, and several others of them
will never got fully over the effects
oftheraoe. Well, If men will volun
tarily iuld their health In such a use
lessly foolish oause, we see no remedy
for them. To grin and bear It Is the
thing to be done.
An exchange says: Col. Vilas
bad a very pretty com
pllment from the Wisconsin legisla
ture. of wbloh he Was a member. A
republican introduced a resolution
acknowledging that Mr. Olea velatnl
had “committed that branch of the
Government service which 1? nearent
to the people to the hands of a clean,
conscientious and progressive Hta'e?
man," which was unanimously
adopted.
.Birds of unclean plumage will note
this and govern themselves accord
ingly.
Tin. railroad craze Is still raging.
People who do not feed themselves
are the craziest to get railroads to
bring them something to cat from
the west and when the provisions
come they cannot buy them except
by mortgaging the land they live on,
and which would produce un abun
dant living If they weul i cultivate it.
Borne people expect wondetful things
from railroads, but they me mis
taken, for it Is the railroads that
make out of the people. Bill roads
enhance the valtv of lands aud bet
terments, when tne lands are rich
and are cultivated and produce go d
crops, but the average land un rail
roads hereabouts Is worth no more
than It would bo If the roads were
not built on It. Thousands of acres
of land can he bought ou tne railroad
between here and tßu'ler, Taylor
county, for $3 per aore, or h as, and
all because It produces nothing for
the road to haul scarcely the plus
that furnishes wood for the engines.
A correspondent writes us from
Taswell about a railroad to Bostick
or somewhere else and Informs us
that a committee Is coming
here and going to Maoon
for holp to build It, and we hope, If
the good people down there waot a
r iad that they will get It, but 1 Is
clear to our apprehenstou that they
would not be benefit ted by one.Tlmse
of them that travel would be conven
ienood a little, but that number is
comparatively small, and It would
scarcely pay to build a road to ac
commodate them. We know that we
are "old fogy" In these matters, but
we have seen roads built at the oust
of millions of dollars, and running
all along through this country, tlmi
are not worth ten cents In the dollar
on the stook to-day. The local couu
ties contiguous to railroads here can
not support them, and If they are
built they must be kept up at ihc
oost of those who are able to pay for
them as conveniences, or they will
soon be absorbed by trunk lints or
syndicates, at their total loss to the
loeal builders.
Washington gossip Is usually verv
Insipid and senseless stuff, but that
found iu the letters ot Mr. Bandall of
the Augusta Chronicle Is an exception
to the statement. Now, wo give here
a sample of one of his late letters. He
writes:
“If Hon. L, Q 0. Lamar should
develop Into a painstaking, hard
working and methodical secretary of
the Interior, he will astonish numer
ous persons who have witnessed no
qualities In his senatorial career.
Honors acmetimes change manners.
With competent ana trustworthy as
sistants, the geueral supervision of
hla department will not be a task too
great for a mind like Lamar’s, which
easily grasps the comprehensive
philosophy of any situation when the
details are collected and summarized
by auxiliaries, who are faithful to
duty and men of affaire.
I *
. Mr. Garland will have the plaoe
that suits him best, Lmg ago, Mr.
Oonkltng pronounced him tbe fore
most lawyer in the senate, and tbe
country has Jubtiy regarded him us
the peer of any legal luminary In
the Udlod. He Is saturated witn
the learning of bis profession and
has the elements of a genuine states
man and patriot. He oould not be
better suited, and Is sure of landing
on tbe Supreme Bench, tbe summit
of bis honorable desire. Os late, he
baa worn a brand new black coat, the
first of the kind within my memory.
The other day, when still wearing his
oid garment, he said to me: ‘I wish
my friend Aleck Btepheos bad lived
to see this day. How he would have
enjoyed It!’ *
“With two|of|tbe most distinguished
men la the Cabinet, both ex Confed
erates and one the special friend ol
Jefferson Davis, the South bee reason
to nope that Mr.Oleaveland’e Presi
dency may be a success. For more
than a quarter of a centary this spec
tacle has been denied. Our eection
has been tabooed and outlawed to a
certain degree, and no confidence
was reposed Id men who would not i
betray their party and people.
It may be the unique glory of Lamar
and Garland to break down tbe last I
barrier of prejudice and sensational-
Ism. ’’
j Ir anybody will say that Oolumbus
1 1 j? not a progressive oity we should
like to eet him; and as an evidence
.Uhat It Is a oity we will
j remind tbe pubiio and the tux-pay
ers, especially, that the fire depart
ment of the city has b en Its main
pride for twenty yearß past. It has
always done us duty heroically and
efficiently. Bo heroically and efficient
ly la fact, that much unnecessary ex
penditure on U ha? been borne with
out oomplaint. But can the feathers
never be found tb it will overload the
Campbell? First one steam fire en
gine with all the extra fixtures was
thought to be needed, and It was
bought. ' hen another steam fire
engine with ail tbe fixtures was
thought desirable, and the council
bought it. Then a big bell was tn
dispcusttble and the City bought one
and s wung it, but the sound waves
w re so obstructed by surrounding
buildings that experts recommended
a high beil tower in Broad street,
which was ordered, erected and paid
for. All this wis elegant, and our
gay firemen were Jolly and happy.
Tbi n epiuag tne Idea of a deficiency
of water, arid after a season of ne
gotiation water-works were subscrib
ed to in the way of annual plug rent
to the tttnuuut or $4 000 or $6,000 per
year, after which, tue infrequency of
fires did not seem to suggest it as a
necessity. The electric fire alarm
project has sprung up, and the city
council Is preparing, apparently, to
invest another |3,000 or more In
that scheme. Now all these things
sre w»ll iu their places and where
needed, hut Is this last luggestlon a
present needl We do not believe it
la, and If It la not, we do not hesitate
to declare that the tax payers of this
town me not In a condition to appro
priaie'hat amount of money tor It.
At this lime the authorities should
exact no tux from our citizens to ex
pend In fancy enterprises of this sort
that cun be dispensed with for a sea
son.
There is scarcely a family In the
oli y that does not feel the presmre ol
enforced economy, and many of them
are straitened b yond precedent for
money. When this Is so in private
life, why should money be exacted
fiom eueb a citizenship to he spent
on electric fire alarms, unless they
ate absolutely and Indispensably neo
essary? Our present fire fighting
force is most efficient In Its personate,
and Its war outfit cannot bo surpass
ed lu the stale. Wherever in the
city water can be found the property
of the citizens Is safe, and where there
ia no vater, all the engines and
electric alarms lu Christendom wll'
be useless. T x payers should cease
to think that they have nothing to
do with the money paid for taxes as
ter they get the collector’s receipt.
They should waich it to Its last ap
plication, and soo that It is wisely
spent. No levy of taxes shoutd be
tolerated except for ueedrul purposes.
At this time a reduction of city tax
would bo muca in ire acceptable to
tbs people than an increase of ex
pwaditures.
COTTON.
The ways of cotton, its ups and
downs—are peoullir. I s over yield
on short, acreage, and its short yield
on large acreage are also peculiar.
One never krows where to set his
figures when discoursing of cotton,
and no matter where they are set by
tbe very wisest of its votaries, the
piioe and the crop are as apt to go
away above ir away below, as to
hover about'he ot ntral estimate. The
planter of to-day who rxpects to
raise a hundred bales of cotton this
year, may see just what ho can buy
his hundred bales at already deliver
ed In New York In next November,
and that without any trouble what
ever, except ihe trouble ot raising bis
margins—say two dollars a bale —
which will be less than the cost of
bis gutuo, if he plants cotton on that
scale. Tue price now fixed for No
vember next in New York Is
about 10J cente —say 9J coots
here. Are farmers willing to face
those figures and raise ootton? Can
they do It and come out eveu? Would
It not he better to make something
else? Kaise corn, hogn, cattle pota
toes, peas—anything to live on, and
for whtoh th-'y will have to spend
their ootton money if they raise cot
ton, and.not be half supplied? Ou
such land a? ia cultivated in this
country farmers cannot afford to
raise ootton a' 9J cents, even If the
seasons are good, but when the seas
sons ate not good, their condition is
deplorable. Wit ness their condition
to-day—the second week In March—
urgently appealing (o warehousemen
for advances to buy provisions for
their families,with no ootton at home
and no hope of money before next
fall, exo-pt through warehousemen.
Would it uot be better for them to
raise no cotton, and to have ample
supplies of provisions at home? Os
course every man knows his own
business best, but the numbers that
are now asking advances, and # tne
heavv loads of corn cud meat that we
see piipd on the wagons before tbe
stores on our streets, prompt these
remarks.
INNI RANt’BIN NORTH CAROLINA
A Raleigh, N 0., special says: One
of tbe most ably discussed questions
before the Legislature has been that
of insurance. That body has now
passed a bill making great changes
In the old law. The new law reduces
the annual license tax on insurance
companies from $125 to SSO; repeals
the law requiring all insurance com

doing business in tbe state; permits
persons in this state to go out of the
state snd insure in foreign compa

As It Is w< 11 known that I am one of

}- ussia and England.
For several weeks past the relatione
between Russia and Great Britain
have been strained on ucoount of the
dlflloulty about the Afghan fruntP-r :
aud the situation seems to be getting
worse every day. Ten days ago i'
was the geueral sentiment In London
that there was little danger of war
between the two countries; but, in
corsequence of the concentration of
the Russian forces on the Afghan
istan frontier, aud the heavy ordei
made by the English for war malt
rial, this sentiment Utis suddenly
oh ii.g d. and the chances now favoi
war Instead of peace. There is m
longer any doubt that Ru-sia la con
centrating a large army In O torn!
Asia. The smaller military posts an
being broken up so us to organ a
- foroe near Afghanistan Aidl
tfonal men and guns ar- being hut
rled forward from the Caucasus, an ~
as the Russian forces lu Asia are
alreadv very large, an Immense t.ran
must soon be gath-T-d mere.
At the same time England Is work
ing the Woolwich nrsuntal ut a a vvrt
attain un'll It is actually, feared tha
there will be a br-ak down, and
purchasing,largely from tills country,
as Russia in also doing. America, as
in former European wars. Is suppiy
ing both ot these prospective com
batants and proving once again tile
superiority of its manufactures o:
arms and war materials.
The Afghanistan boundary has
been threatening dlflloulty between
Russia ami England for ye tra. a ,<i
came v ry near precipitating a war
under Beacon-field’s ministry. O
one sido Russia's Astatic dominions
now finally touoh tne land oftb,
Afghans, which Is bounded to the
east, by the Brinish possessions lu
India. Afghanistan, therefore re
mains as a neutral zone between
them, and bath powers ars naturally
jealous of each other. When Eng
land, some years ago, found Russia
intriguing in Afghanistan she as
eumed a very high attitude, Invaded
the country and finally punished the
Afghan’s severely; plaoed a sew
Aim f r on the throne, and, without
attempting to annex the country,
plaoed it under Brinish pr item ton.
It is this protection and the safety
of Indian possessions that entails
the necessity ot defending Afghanis
tan fiom Russian aggression, and
makes a Russian advance into that
country earns belli.
Id Be&oonsflcld’s day a threat was
sufficient to keep Russia back. Tne
relianoe of the British hitherto has
been in Russia’s financial embarrass
rnent, Us fear of the Nihilists and its
incomplete railway communications
Iu a war of this kind, moreover. Rus
sia will have Afghans to fight us well
as the Brinish, and they are danger
ous enemies. Ou tbe other hand,
Russia eeee England Id several diffi
eulties —compelled to keen one large
army in Ireland aud another in tne
Boundan; her prestige broken in
Central Africa, and her supply or
men and war material short. There
was never a better lime for liassiaian
aggression.
Certain is it that the Russian out
posts are within riilo suot of the ad
vanced posts of the Afghans; that
the latter arc aggreesive, aud said to
be actually impudent under the en
couragement of England’s reeeut ad
vice to bold their grouud. An offen
sive act on their part might early ini
tiate open warfare iu Afghanistan,
which would drag Great Brittain also
iuto the conflict. Tne situation Is
critical when the two big powers are
arming and equlping tneir men. and
when a small skirmish in tne centre
of Asia may any day set these two
oouu tries at each other.—N. O Times

Odious Custom of Olft-linking.
(LouigviUe Courier-Journal. I
In modern times every conceivable oe
tasion is grasped by some gift-making.
Holidays, birthdays, wedding anniver
laries. promotions, election to office, de
lartures, aud almost everything else must
be celebrated in this way, aud it Is this
which has made the custom au odious one.
A gentleman was talking on tfie subject
t few days ago.
“Do you know, " said he, “that many a
nun iu Ibis city bn- been compelled at
times to rob Ins family of some needed
jomfort in order to keep up with bis fel
low employes in gift making? Well, it is a
fact, and to say tfie least of it, a shameful
one. A dozen men are employed in a
Horn and some event in the life of their
employer makes recognition and remem
brance on their part e-seutial—not justly
io, but still they must not appear pica
punish, and a present is decided upon, ami
cacti fellow assessed enough to make iu
the aggregate the sum required to pur
riiaselt. Some of these men have famil
ies which they find it a hard mutter, ou
small salaries, to provide for. Those g'3
or $3 or $n taken from their purses are
needed at home, doubtless, but still they
have to give it up to pamper to a foolish,
sye, criminal custom, or be called nig
gardly and maybe, if their stinginess’ be
comes known to their employer, incur
bis displeasure and lose their pin. ea "
“Do you think any man would lie

Muse be refused to rob his children for
•uch a purpose
“Do I? Well, I should think so. I
know of Instances where men have been
given to understand that they were ex
pected to contribute, and, failing, would
Dave to look for work elsewhere. It is
this system of robbery which has made
riftmaking so pernicious. The worst
feature is that it is growing steadily, until
Dow some men can scarce turn around
without expecting some one to give them
tomclfiing. "
M»!i-r in lh» Desert.
(The Ontury.l
It follows naturally that when under
taking a journey through the desert, the
paramount question is water. A supply
must be carried sufficient to last to the
next well, be It,one or five days distant.
It is usually carried in goat and ox skins
suspended from the eatnel s pack s addles.
These arc the water bottles of Scripture,
which become leaky from wear aud al
ways lose a considerable portion of their
contents bv evaporation. Tbe first thing
after reaching a well is to ascertain the
quantity and quality of its water. As to
the former it mav have been exhausted by
a preceding caravan, and hours may bo
required for a new supply lo ooze in
again.
As to the quality, desert water is always
bad, the exception being when it is worse,
though long custom enables the Bedouins
to drink water so brackish as U> be intol
erable to all except themselves and their
flocks. Well do 1 remember how at each
well the lirst skinful was tasted all around
as epicures sip rare wines A,real was the
joy if it was pronounced “moya helwa, ”
sweet water, but if the He iouina said
" moosh tayib, ” not good, we might be sure
it was a solution of Kpsom sails. The
best water is found in natural rocky
reservoirs in deep narrow gorges, where
tbe sun never shines. As to "live springs, ”
1 never saw more than half a dozen in
fI.OUO miles’ travels. __
Flashing e tre from His Scarf-Pin.
[New- York Tribune. 1
A lively young man with a red mus
tache entered a Ntissau street eating
house and took a seat, He wore a blac k
neck scarf, iu which was thrust an odd
lookitig pin. A pretty waiter girl came
up, and while brushing away tbe crumbs
from behind the guest asked for his order.
“ You ma\ briug me some Boston
baked—”
The young woman did not bear the
conclusion o? the sentence, for a brilliant
light flashed from the odd scarf-pin, and
frightened her so much that she nearly
fainted. The young man glanced up
with a look of 'mild surprise, and said:
“Arc you faint?”
The waitress hurried off to the kitchen.
The head of the house, a man whose
scanty gray hair and full beard are well
known to those who attend the up town
temperance meetings ou Sunday after
noons, then next approached, lie put
the pepper bottle back in the castor,
picked up a doughnut from the floor and
was about to make an observation upon
the superiority of his squash pies, when
fire again ilashe<i from the young man s
scarf pin.
“What —wha—what is,the matter with
your necktie?” he stuttered, looking at
"the young man in a startled manner. “It
was on tire lust now. ”
“O, I guess that's all right, ” murmured
the latter, with a smile “Any trouble
with it now?”
“No, I can t see that there is, but—”
The fire again became luminous aud
shoue with a brilliancy never equaled by
any diamond. “It’s au electric light on
a small scale, ” said the young mail. “I
have a little battery in "my pocket By
pressing a button a current of electricity
is conducted to the piu, which contains a
small piece of carbonized bamboo, and the
light is produced. Big thing, isn’t it?”
