D.Thomasto be a Georgia Railroad Director- The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday took occasion evidently to pay a very nice compliment to Prof. George D. Thomas in speaking of the probability of his election as a director of the Geor gia Railroad. The death of Col. Stevens Thomas left a vacancy in the board of directors of the Georgia Railroad and it is to be filled at, an early date. It is stated by the Chronicle that Prof. Thomas will be the selection, as the plaeeis due to Athens and no better man could be found to fill it. Prof. Thomas is a man of unques tioned ability and progressiveness, and will fill with credit the office so ably held by his deceased father.

That Society has inaugurated Steps to‘Raise the Money-The Alumni of the Society Will Come to their Aid In This Matter.l The Deinosthenians are in earnest in the matter. And they will convert their hall on the campus into a most beautilul build* ing. The movement has been inaugurated, and it will be pushed through at once. This year the Demoethenian Society is in an especially prosperous condition. It has a large membership, and the members take interest in the meeting- of the Society The hall of the Society, while It is perfectly comfortable,still needs repair ing badly, so the members have deter mined the remedy the matter.) The Society has resolved to raise the sum of one thousand dollars with which to remodel and repair their hall. That they will succeed in their undertaking goes without saying, The first movi ment will be to see what the Faculty w ill subscribe in the matter. The society has several alum ni among the membeis of the Faculty Then the society will issue a circular to its alumni members throughout the Sta.e and from this source will derive quite a nice sum towardB the neoeasary amount fixed by the society to be raised.

It may take a little while to do this, but the Dcmoithenians are determined to make the movement a succe.-s. The remodeled Demosthenian hall will be quite an ornament to the cam pus. THE NEW YORK SUN. A Correspondent Takes Editor Dana to Task. Editor Banner:—The above paper in its issue of the 29tb ult ha; op edito rial on tiie fcuhjeci of the position the United States should occupy towards Russia. It proceeds to give various reasons why our government should sympathize with that country. Here is one of its reasons: “Still fresh in our remembrance is the act of Alexander, the father of the present Czar, when, with a colossal re bellion already on its hands our govern ment seemed likely to be plunged by the Trent affair into war with England, while ominous measures were being taken to increase the British naval forces at Halifax, and to hurry regi ment after regiment to Canada, there appeared on a sudden Russian war fleets in the harbors of New York and Sau Francisco. If ever a country had a frieud in n> e l the Czar showed himself one at this juncture ” Now, l have no objection to the sym* partly proposed, but the phrase “colos sal rebellion,” referring to the “war between the States,” is unpardonable. The “Sun,” unlike the bright and glorious luminary that illuminates our world seems to wander from sphere to spere, sometimes rising in the west, and somr tim. s o'ting n ‘the east, and no one can foretell with precision, in what position of the heavens, it will be a day hence.

French, in default of $73,000 bail, has bo.a committed to Charles street jail. Since bis arrest he has been in the cus tody of the United States marshal. From that time forth he has been mak ing the most strenuous efforts to secure bail, bnt the man who bnt a short time since was surrounded by influential, financial, political and social friends found his closest associates bo far out of his reach when 'disaster oame that not even the few thousand dollars needed to keep him out of jail could be found by himself or his counsel. Bnt two men presented themselves to sign the bond of $76,1*00 required to se cure him his liberty, and neither was nearly qualified to assume the respon sibility. Mr. John Stetson was applied to by a friend of Mr. French, and he said he would furnish bail providing $76,COO in good seenritiee were placed iu his hands as an indemnity in case Frenoh forfeited his bonds. The friends of Colonel > tench who were willing to give an indemnity bond have been en gaged in efforts to comply with Mr. Stetson’s requirements, but were una ble to make the necessary arrange ments, and the commitment was made early in the evening. ANOTHER BANK SENSATION. The Suspension of Hlrsohfeld end Wolff In llerlln. Berlin, Nov. 7.—The suspension of the firm of Hirsohfeld & Wolff, the bankers of this city, oaused a sensation in financial circles, bnt it was as noth ing to the latest development's. It was reported at the time the failure was announced that the Empress of Germany and Prince Henry of Prussia were liable to lose a large amount by tbe failure, and that the minister of public worship. Dr. Yon Goesler, bad lost his entire fortune, and that many member* of the most aristocratic fam ilies were involved in the firm’s trou bles. Under such circumstances a rigid in vestigation into the affairs of Hirschfeld and Wolff was only natural. This in quiry into the bankers’ business meth ods were commenced, and resulted in tbe arrest of Herr Wolff, head of the firm of Hirechfeld & Wolff, on a charge of a most serious nature, the particu lars of which have not as yet been made public. This financial npheavel waa the only thing talked about in Berlin, and further and more startling devel opments are expected when the full facts become known. The amount of tbe firm’s liabilities is not yet announced, but it is understood that it is very high. WAnted His Money. Florence, Ala., Nov. 7.—"Give me i my money, and give it to me quick, ” It was on Milledge avenue car. There sat a preacher and a good old lady talking about love, about courting. Now, 1 don’t mean to say they were making love to each other, that they were, themselves, courtiDg, I don’t mean that at all. N >, tbe preacher is married and the got d old lady haabeen married and is now a widow; and wid ows, you know, never make love; they never court. The conversation some how, bad drifted into a kind of moralizing strain. ... “Yes, indeed, the votaries of Cupid have changed their tactics since our courting days” said the preacher re trospectively and with a ministerial sigh. “Why,” said he, “in those days, we were never allowed by the parents of you dear girls to go with you driving in the parks; we were never allowed to take champagne in carriages with ns when we took you to a dance at night; we never dared to linger in a closed corner behind a portierre while tbe dances were in progress. We were straightforward lovers. “Correct, sir!” ejaculated tbe widow lady, “bur, do you know, I think tbe men loved a heap harder in those days ihan they do now? There seemed to be no flirting then compared with what one sees every day now. There was no ‘spooning,’ no silly engagements to be broken at will, no kissing ” “What’s that?” asked another good old lady Bitting near by. “Do you ine»n to say, Mrs. . that you nev er allowed your hunband to kiss yon before you were married ?” . » • Somebody widow. blushed crimson—that fresh and fine.

Coleman. was what an exsited depositor said, as he forced his way through the crowd around the doors of the' Bank of Flo rence, and pointed a pistol at the vice president. He was quickly led away and the doors cloied. The failure of the Bank of Florence makes the third institution of its kind to go nnder in this city in two years. The officers of the bank refuse to make a statement, bi t claim that the bank will resume in a lew days. Tbe assets of the bank are $60,000 and the liabilities are lees than half that amount.

She gave herself clear away, and everybody in the car laughed as they concluded that their papas and their ma mas made love and conrtcd very muoh after tbe same style that ia now the run among the young people. Of course they don’t own it; but, just pin them down to the point of con fession-aye, there’s the rub! * * * How funny this is: “Say, did you know that every trustee of the UDiversity of Georgia and count less others in Georgia have gone to studying? Yes, indeed, Johnston’s his tory of the United States isall tbe rage, but then, every book baa iu run you know!” Tbe speaker was a prominent lawyer ■*f Athens and as be spoke, everybody who beard him laugh heartily. * * # There is a Byronic fellow in this city who is desperately in love. His name well, let that past. Wait for the wedding cards You ask how I know he is in love. The answer I give is sufficient to cot* vict him I think. I saw him tbe other day clawing bis locks, and feeling the place where a moustache ought to be, with eyes looking far off into space. He was writing a letter to bis best girl and glancing partially over bis shoulder I saw that letter read from beginning aa follows: “I’re written twice -no answer yet, < >ht I’d expected better Bnt at the rmk of boring too. I'll write another letter.'’ And, I read the next verse—for the letter was in verses: '■It may be yon have written me Perhaps, I shouldn't censure. Or tl you've not, perhaps you have Good reasons to prevent you." Can anybody doubt it? That fellow’a in love. Mark the pa* hos, the genuine affection of that letter. • * • Muncipal politics. It’s all the talk now. Who is going to be mayor is the question every side, and it is a question that carries otter doubt and per; 1 xity with it. Some say our worthy Mayor is going to do things up Brown. Others say it is a case of Nip and Tuck, with a handsome majority in favor of Tuck. Let that be as it may; Athens is going to have a good mayor, and that’s all tbe people are after. The Wanderer. SHOES! SHOES! Our stock MUST BE closed out.
