Jobu P. KJ'ig. wso wwa lu tno United
Stawe senate TO 1886. Mr. Mam A. I x-per,
Was a memb* rot th© iiouee of rei*-
reaenbatlve torly-Ove yearn ago. and
Judgeluoloua Hlllyer.ln toe neatly
as long sluoa, all lead retired livre at their
aomee in Georgia, and watoh tne progrean
ot events.
Thk I'amtnany leaders any they am
Battelled that they are to get nine of the
big offices under tne Cleavelaud admluts
trallon. They yet pr'wrve a cheerful
demeanor, which Indicates that the rauK
and tile ie anally to be oared for, and the
distribution o’New York patronage will
be on a broad scale and not coni rolled by
tne interest of faction.
Bkxatob Wadb Hampton, ot South
Carolina, baa been reported very ill.
It eeema that he bad a slight cold,
like thousands of other poor mortals,
and Is well enough to be expected out
again in a day or so.
Bating the mouth and tongue
trouble of General Grant, bis condi
tion la not so bad as might be. His
finances are ail right since be has
been retired with his pay of general
—515,000. With such an Income al
most anybody might be financially
well-to-do.
Thk Augusta News does not seem
to feel bad over the failure of Hal
man and Wilkins, Poet & Co,, tbe
great iron-workers of Atlanta. The
Atlanta folks bad so much to say
about the failure of tbe Augusta
bank, and the factory and some pri
vate parties of that city, that tbe
News is disposed to hoot back at
them. It Is unkind, but not un
natural.
The Locust Scourge-
Chambers' Journal.
I have had my recollection of these
creatures and their way revived by a
parliamentary paper entitled “Report
of tbe Locust Campaign of 1884. by
Mr. 8. Brown, government engineer,
Cyprus," It gives tbe results of tbe
measures employed to stay tbe
plague to which the Island has for
ages been subject; and so far It Is
satisfactory enough. Home thirty
years ago It occurred to Osman
Pasha, then governor of Cyprus, to
try and make head against tbe
scourge which devastated tbe Island.
He was earnest in the cause, but un
fortunately died before measures
could possibly have had any effect.
8o things went on till about fifteen
years ago, when said Pasha became
governor. He kept up the system of
buying eggs, but with tbe important
difference, that when he paid
for eggs he saw that he
got them. He put. some Euro
peans on tbe commission of superin
teudence, had the eggs stored, and
authorized their destruction only
after bis personal Inspec ion. In
three years locuats’eggs wore as valu
able as those of tbe silkworm ; and tn
1870 it, was officially reported that the
insect had ceased to exist in Cyprus.
In 1872 it was reported that locusts
were reappearing. Thia was pro
nounced to be a calumny, and tlo
observers were referred to the official
report showing that the locust had
ceased to exist in Cyprus—which, of
course was conclusive! In 1875,
however, denial was no longer pos
sible; no one with eyes In his bead
could doubt the existence of court
less myritids of plundering insects.
Bald Pasha by this time had left the
island, and hie successor w«s of a
different oharaster and did nothi g
to stop their Increase, which accord
ingly went on unchecked till the
British occupation In 1878, In
the autumn of 1879 thirty-
seven and a half tons of eggs
were collected and destroyed
and tbe spring ot that year an enor
mous number of insects were trap
p'd. In 1881) isrger sw irmi th >r evr
appeared, a great many of which
were trapped, and two bundled and
thirty-six tons of J heir eggs collected.
In 1881 tbe locusts came in still
greater numbers, and in the autumn
and winter thirteen hundred and
thirty tons of eggs were destroyed.

Mrs. Felton on the Cabinet Ladies
Cartersville (G».) Oouraut.
Mrs. Bayard is an invalid. She
turned over her social duties to her
daughters years ago, therefore it is
unlikely there will be any rivalry ot
Messrs. Blaine's and Frelinghuye In’s
gorgeous entertainments in the four
years ahead of Mr. Bavard In the
cabinet.
Mr. Lamar’s wife died a few months
■iuce, and we feel grieved that the
country will miss in Washington the
presence and Influence of one of tbe
noblest of southern women. When
tbe writer was a little girl, and Mrs.
Lamar was in tbe full bloom of wo
manhood, she was our beau ideal of
the true and lovely. She wasadaugh
ter of Judge Augustus Longstreet (an
eminent divine and jurist in Georgia
forty years ago.) She inherited from
her father a winning manner, a na
tive courtesy, ami a charming address
that won he' 'riends in every station
in life. Her lovely face and sweet
disposition added much to her hus
band’s success, She would have il
lustrated not only Mississippi, but
Georgia and the enttre south as a
cabinet lady. Her household being
in mourning, there will be no promt
nenoe to their entertainments, for a
season at least.
Mr. Garland is a widower, and it is
understood he has never sought to
replace the beloved wife of his youth
by a later choice. Hie aged mother
Will no doubt decline the engage
ments and annoyances of Washington
society. So it happens that the south
will not be situated properly to give
the north an idea of our southern la
dies in official life.
The other members of tbe cabinet,
from the north and west, are said to
be fortunately able to do ail the bon
ors of tbe new administration. We
feel anxious to see them “bold their
own” in the metropolitan city of the
union, although we trust there will
be no effort to out-spend,out areas or
outshine the nouveax rich ot shoddy
aristocracy.
Bhenmaiiam, Qout and Nisuralgia
It Is edentltlcally settled that rheums- i
tlam. goutand neuralgia cannot be cured
by rubbing with oils, ointments, lini

these diseases are caused by uric add tn

uniformly expels this acid Is Parker's

Z3BEHR PA HA AKB EST ED.
Gordon’s Friend Who Has Been Shad
owed for Two Years.
Zibehr Paeua. wtiom Geaetal Gor
don so trusted and wished made gov
ernor of Khaiwum. has been ar
teeie.l under the charge of being Im
plicated in treasonable conspiracies
against the authority ot the Khedive.
Hie residence was searched immedi
ately after bls arrest, and In it were
found many documents proving that
Zobetir was in secret league with El
Mahdi. The prisoner has been placed
in confinement aboard a British
frigate.
Z ihebr p-isha will be placed on the
ieiuud of Oiphus. Ho has been under
surveillance, wmcb practically made
nim a prisoner for the past two years.
His wealth, which was mainly ac
quired io tne slave trade, was con
fiscated, and he was allowed a
quarterly stipend ou condition that
lie should not leave Alexandria
without tbe consent of tne knedlve.
General Gordon pleaded that Z ibetir
should be restored to pow. r in tne
Sou lap, and said chat tbe ex-kiug
was the very man who bad enough
nerve and prestige too keep tbeArabs
in subjugation. Gurdon has encoun
tered Zobehr during his former
service in Egypt- and had Incidentally
banged one of Zcebehr’s sons, who
bid been lell as u hostage, slid
Whose Hfo bad become forfeited by
an act ot treachery on Zooehr’s part
When Gordon was sent to Khartoum
last year, both he and Zobehr Pasha
uesmed to have agreed to ignore tbe
past, and It was another of Zobebr’s
s mu who escorted Gordon across tbe
desert from Korosko to Abuhamed.
Without this escorts it is certain
Gordon would never have got to
Khartoum. Now it has been discov
ored by the British government that
Zobehr Pasha has been in continual
correspondence with El Mahdi, both
hofore and since tbe capture of
Khartoum, and tbe killing of Gordon
Several other peraons are about to be
arrested, including some prominent
notables.
German Friendship
Boston Herald.
The German newspapers assert
, that, in consequence of tbe election
of Mr. Cleveland tne government of
tbe United states and Germany will
■ sobn return to “their former highly
valued Intimacy.” We are at a loss
to understand what construction
could have been put upon tbe presl
loot’s address which would lead tbe
German people tu suppose that we
’ were to treat international questions
i hereafter arising between our
country and Germany In any dis
, fer<-ut manner from that which him
been adopted during the last two
’ years. Th-only grievance we bav
' against Germany—and it la one
wniob can onlv be remedied by a
change in hi-r government policy—is
'hat, while she bus attempted to
1 protect herself from American com
petitition, she baa done so in
a dislngenioua manner. Instead
of stating that German farmer
were to be protected from low priced
American meats, and placing a tax
upon these,her government t.us com
pelied American meat exporters tu
pay upon tbe tin cans In wniob our
meat la st nt, as if It were not meat,
but tin plate, that was coming into
tneir country. Instead of manfully
forbidding the Importation of Ameri
can kerosene oil,or Instead ot placing
such a tax upon it as would practi
cally amount to prohibition, thus
protecting the oil wells of Germany,
mud giving trad ) preference to Rus
sia, the German government has im
posed a heavy tax upon American
kerosene oil baneis, under tne pre
tense that the coopers or Germany
are suffering io c.msi qtience oi
their lutroduc lorn Tuese are all
instances ot a system, and it is tbe
adoption of this system that h is pro
iluced, very naturally, considerable
irritation io this country. We lai to
see in what wav President Uievi land
is to prevent this. Tbe lustadmiuis
nation made a faint effort to repre
sent their grievance io Germany, but,
as no attention was paid to th ■ o >m
pluiut, the maiter wus cropped, it
still remains in mis quiescent condi
tion, and will probaoly jontinue so
to lemiiin, but, all tbe same, we have
our opinion that a little more can
dor on the p-.n of Getmauy would
be ot service, it the trieudanip be
tween the two countries is to be
stiougly cemented. Not that we can
raise any objection to the Geuum sys
tem ot protection. That would be
farcical, coming from a people that
hud done all that lay in its pow<-r to
keep German goods out of its
mark-t; bid, then, ns tan old song
hue it: “Wo say what we mean, and
we mean what we say.”
