An Imported Preacher. The preliminary hearing in tiie suit of the United States against the rector, church wardens and ves trymen of the Church of the Holy i Trinity, for importing Rev. E Wal pole Warren to preach in that church ; was heard before Judge Wallace, of the United States .Circuit Court, to day. it is claimed that his importa tion was in violation of the con tract labor law, and the fine provid :ed for violation thereof is SI,OOO. The counsel for the church demur red to the complaint on the. c’aini i that the law was intended to cover only the manual labor class. District- Attorney Walker admitted that the act was not the work of trained stat utory draftsmen. Only professional artists, actors, lecturers and singers arc exempt; by law. Our choicest metropolitan pulpits were invaded by foreign product, while our theo logical seminaries were sending plenty of candidates for places. “It is not,” said Mr. Walker, “the ’ duty of the court to justify the wisdom cf Congress, but simply to follow the plain meaning. The law was plainly constitutional and has been violated in the case at the bar.” Judge Wallace reserved his decision. new TO WEAN HIM. Bill Ny<? says: Henry Reimbold writes to ask what he can do to wean his nineteen-year old son who is his pride and joy, from the buck horn head of a four pound cane. I do not know that I have heretofore answered this inquiry, though it has been frequently sent in. It is a serious matter, but if properly managed can be brought to a suc cessful conclusion. Take the cane from him for a half a day at a time* substituting moistened bread crumbs and sugar tied up together in the corner of a clean piece of linen, but do not let him cry too hard at niuht if he has been in the habit of cooling his gums on the head of the cane. Do not spank him and harshly take the cane away from him, but give him a substitute and lull him to rest by singing to him. Gradually you will win him from it, no doubt, but if all other methods fail cover the head of the cane with two parts tar-rofling and eight parts Rough on Rats. He will not die in the house. G. W. Truitt, of LaGrange, has a hen that is 15 years old. Chas. W. Taylor, a negro, was admitted to the bar in Atlanta last week. Five colored couples obtained di vorces in one day at Thomasville recently. The First National Bantc, of Al bany, has been authorized to com mence business with a capital of $50,000. The Flint river swamps in Sump ter county arc full of wild turkeys, one man having counted fifty on one log, while another saw sixty in one drove. Charlie Hammond, of Spaulding county, who is 95 years old, plays a fiddle for country dances which | ! he has rosined up for 85 years— ; Douglasville Star. Gainesville’s cotton factory has been in operation only twelve months and yet the stock holders have declared a dividend of twelve j per cent. This shows that cotton ■ factories pry. Why not build one at Surnmet rille? The monument to be erected over the grave of Robert Toombs has been received. It came from Italy, and is a simple shaft of beautiful marble, sixteen feet high. It bears no inscription save the name of the great Georgian and that of his wife, ■whose remains rest close beside his own. The people of Gilmer county are going to quit raising broom sedge I and in its place raise good nutri tious clover, timothy, orchard and herds grass. Five hundred men raise 500 horses and mules, worth SIOO to S2OO each, and the whole county carpeted with green grass and clover, and pretty Jerseys, colts hogs and fine chickens living Art on iit means $50,000 tosloo, < ;, 0 in cash I every year for Gilmer county. Congress has been petitioned to stop the sale of cigarettes. There were 28,945 immigrants landed in New York in March. An earthquake in China last i week did a great deal of damage. Since April Ist the wet counties have paid $21,845 into the Georgia treasury. Fire destroyed $250,000 worth of property in New Orleans on the 21st lilt. • Dexter, Robert Bonner’s SIOO,OOO trotter, died last week at the age of thirty years. Three thousand acres have been planted in watermelons in Mitch ell county. A recent lire at Winona, Miss., I destroyed $300,000 worth of prop erty; insurance, $96,000. Danville, Ya., is to.have another cotton factory which will produce 32,000 yards of cloth a day. Cleveland has stated to a friend that he will accept the Democratic nomination for the presidency. la the Baltimore public schools it has been found necessary to dis arm the boys before admitting them. Editor Abell, of the Baltimore Sun, died recently, leaving an es tate worth $10,000,090, all of which he made out of his paper. Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dy namite, is dead. He was a quiet man but his invention has made a great deal of noise in the world. The next legislature will elect one U. S. senator, two judges of the supreme court and about one half of the judges and solicitor-generals. W. W. Gordon and cx-Congress man J. ('. Nichplls will contest for the nomination for congress with Norwood, the present incumbent, in tin first district. It is harder labor to take a light garden hoe and work the beans than it is to take a heavy mattock and dig up an acre of ground in search of worms to go fishing with. A band of counterfeiters has ap peared in Chattonooga, Tenn., and a number of business men have been taken in by them. The coin is made an imitation of both gold and sil ver process. The general impression now seems to be that either ex-Gov. Gray, of Indiana, or Hon. Wm. R. Morrison of Illinois, will be the Democratic nominee for the vice presidency on the ticket with Cleveland. J. 11. Bates, one of New York's leading advertising agents, has moved to 38 Park Row, on which spot he began business twenty-live years ago. He places more than a million dollars worth of business annually. In his speech on taking the chair as president of the third party con j vention in Atlanta last week, Mur- I phv referred to Hawthorn and, Ilill yer as “those big-mouthed fellows, who are not here today.” Ami Small shouted “amen.” Col. E. C. Machen, of Macon, has offered a premium of S3OO to the ! county making the best display of i Georgia raised live stock at the coming state fair, and also agreed to do all trackage of cars going in to and from the grounds free of charge. In the year 1870, a family named German, consisting of father, moth er and six children, left Fannin county to seek a home in the far west. After reaching one of the border states, the savage Indians fell upon them and massacred the father and mother and the two old est children, taking the others as captives, and held them as such for several years. The oldest in cap tivity was Catherine German, now Mrs. Catherine Swerdfcrg?r, of Sa betha, Kansas. This lady has writ ten a true and thrilling narrative of the ir captivity, which is to be pub lished for - the first time in the Blue Ridge Post. liss Eliza Cox is a oousin to Mrs, *’- werdferger. THAT MAN. Do you see that man over in the field, driving a pair of mules? Who , is he, and what is he doing? j He is a farmer and engaged in . plowing. He is the man that moves ] the world. If he would go on a ( strike and refuse to raise a crop for , a single year, it would produce more , disastrous effect than would result from a universal strike of all the brotherhoods of railroad employes and trade unions combined. He with his glittering share, furnishes subsistance for all the brotherhoods and every body else, and if he should “go out,” for some real or imaginary wrong, he would paral yze the commerce of the world on sea and land, every locomotive would rust in its stall, the cars would rot on the side tracks, the song of the spindle and hum of the factory would be hushed and silent, the goods of the merchant would be moth-eaten on his shelves, and even the government would be powerless to interfere. That share, though bright, glitters only when it is idle. It hides its polish under a six inch layer of usefulness. That man, though intelligent,dresses in home spun, and patiently toils on, year by year, bearing the ill he cannot shun, and because he does not strike the world moves on and the people have bread to eat. And just now stop a moment and consider how much more our pros perity depends on the man with the mules, than on the dude with the cane and the waxed mustache. Boulanger. Boulanger has been elected to the Chamber of Deputies of France by over 100,000 majority. He is the most popular man in his country and it is the hope of hjs ability and the knowledge of his willing ness to retrieve the losses sustained by France in the war with Germany in ’7l that makes him go. The French realize that the time for them to strike has nearly come. I'he men who have held Germany together and led her armies to vic tory have passed and are passing away. Emperor William is dead, Emperor Frederic is dying, and Bismarck and Moltke are old. There are no men who can fill their places. The Crown Prince is young rash and inexperienced. Russia is an avowed enemy. It may be that the German empire, built in two decades with blood and iron, will crumble in as many years by the same agencies. It looks that way now and that Boulanger, in the hands of providence, is to be the in strument for its accomplishment. Our Judge Runs. The Atlanta correspondent of the Macon Telegraph relates how a cranky woman went to sec Gov. Gordon to get redress for wrongs she alleged had been done her. “I bought 40 acres of land in Haral son county,” said the woman, who hails from Illinois, “and hired a man to plant it in trees. He stole all my money and never did the work. I have been for eight years trying to get into court about it but it seems like I can’t. Judge Maddox runs from me every time I see him, and I can’t get no justice of the peace to protect me; so I come to see the Governor.” She was told the Governor could do nothing whereupon she said “If I ; was a man and wearing breeches somebody would have been in the penitentiary long ago.” We don’t ' blame Judge Maddox for running from such a woman, for running from such is the better part of valor. California big ..rees will have to take a second place as botanical gi ants now that the ocean has under taken to beat the land in the size of its products. Capt. John Stone, of the ship Clever, picked up a sea weed on the Atlantic, near the equa tor, that was 1,500 feet long. It was an alga, and has been identi fied as a specimen of macroceptis pyrifera. Perhaps it is the kind of weed that the sea serpent eats. At the close of the fiftieth con gress the terms of a third of the senators expires, leaving twenty-live democrats and twenty-live republi cans to hold ever. The democrats are certain of electing thirteen of ! the new senators next year, with I lighting chances for more. NO. 13. Why the South is Solid. Great is the Republican astonish ment at the immense Democratic majority in the state of Louisiana —a state in which they counted on making large gains, not only be cause of the late democratic dissen tions, but on account of the propos ed reduction of the sugar duties by the democratic tariff bill. The republicans are very slow to learn that, however pronounced may be democratic differences as v,. men, and even as to measues of policy, whenever it comes to a flight with a party that is always villify ing them and their section the dem ocrats of the south will be a unit. It is natural that it should be so. Our enemies, while thus misrepre senting and abusing us, credit us with more of Christian forbearance than we arc really entitled to, in hoping that “when smitten on one cheek we will turn the other also.” If they cannot find in the vitupera tion of Sherman and the ravings of Foraker, Fairchild, Ingalls et al., a sufficient reason why the south should be politically “solid” against them, notwithstanding appeals to the interests of classes or local or personal antagonisms, they are ver, dull of comprehension. And they are equally blind to the true situa sion if they cannot see that the sectional agitators above mentioned are the men who do more than any others to make and keep the south solid. Another thing which the repub licans are very slow to learn is the fact that they hold no bill of sale of the negro voters, as they do of the white voters of Rhode Island whom they buy at $5 to $lO a head. In the first gush of exuberance over freedom and the right to vote when the negroes believed that the republicans had “sot them free’' and would do great things for them they were nearly all republicans, anxious to vote early and often for their deliverers. But the negroes are much more intelligent and bet* ter informed now, and that delusion has been dispelled. They know now that their best interests are promoted by harmonious feliitioiis with the people among whom they ive and labor; that the prosperity of one race at the south is intimate ly connected with the prosperity of the other; that the white repub licans have only used them fortheir own advancement or gain, and de ceived them with empty promises for a quarter of a century. So well are they now convinced of this fact that the political movements of the present year disclose a feeling of distrust and antagonism between a few white leaders and the negroes who still take an interest in repub lican politics. The harmony that once existed between them, or rath er the leadership on the one side and the blind following on the oth er, no longer exists, and can never .again be restored. The republicans will find the south “solid,” and becoming more and more solid against them every rear, so long as these reasons exist why it ought in justice to itsel f to be so.—Atlanta Journal.

A william-goat recently broke into the Council Chamber at Ar gentinc, Mo., and devoured the city ordinances and records. From this it would seem that william goat- are not at all choice in what they devour. “Ah, dearest!” sighed a young man, kneeling to ownest own; “do you know what of all things is near est my heart?” “Really I cannot say,” she sweetly replied; “but in this cold weather I should think it was a flannel vest.” She was too practical, and it, broke the engage ment.
