President Cleveland has returned from his fishing tour, and has resumed his routine of work at the White House. It is urged and predicted that the 4th of July will be celebrated with old time popularity and enthusiasm this yeai. Th< ;8e who mourn the demise of Sherman’s boom are compelled to confess that John did it with his lit tle jaw. —Constitution. Chief Justice Blecklv has consented for his name to be used before the next General Assembly for re election. His re-election goes without question. The Inter-State Commerce law is abeui as much of a nut as ever. It is a general concession that the next congress will remedy some ot its fea tures in some way. Our next Congress will be taxed with the emigration question. The seutiment is becoming general and in earnest that emigration to this country needs more restriction. Qua notions and ideas are the crea tures of onr impressions. Bun a news paper a year or more, and you will undoubtedly agree with us. Let ~nothing from an evil or unhappy souice impms itself upon your mind. Mr. Powderly says emphatically that he will not accept the office of Grand Master Workman, if re-elected Be states in his apeee-h at Boston that he had been misrepresented and falsely accused, and that he desired privacy and rest. European* affairo have a very pacific east, with the exception of local poli tics. The demand for Irish home rule ©n the government has no decreased interest. Indications point to the fall of the present French ministry. Boulanger is too important a quantity to be left out. Texas saloon men are either very wneasy that the Prohibiton amend ment will be adopted in that State, ©r terribly in earnest in prevent ing its adoption. They sent'a delega tion to St. Louis to solicit aid from the brewers of that city in raising a campaign lund of $50,000. A writer in taking notes of all yellow fever epidemics, says that one is not at all liable to occur this year, as lias been generally feared and pre dicted. He bases bis reasoning on Certain atmospherical conditions which have always proceeded these epidemics but do not exist this year In the moral world yon throw a great stress uj'on some particular force. Do Dot conclude that your friends or neighbors’ moral character is not so strong and tree from enor as yours on the account of his indifference to the force most material in the forma tion of your moral character. Our characters and ends ot life are shaped by different circumstances and dispo sitions. A special from Washington says: Speaker Carlisle is expected here this month. If he comes he will confer ■with the President and cabinet about the extra session of Congress, the propositions for revenue reduction, and ihe tariff reforms to be presented to Congress when it does meet. Caln.le will, for brilliancy, abilitty. and patri otism, always command the attention, confidence and admiration of the A jnerican people, whether he is success ful in securing the adoption of his rev enue and tariff ideas or not. i The May rep >rt of the Alexandria Colton association states that the condition of the Egyptian Cotton crop is favorable—that the plants are strong and that the area under culti vation is the same as 1886. A group cf anarchist, numbering ninety men and w >men, has been dis covered at Columbus, 0. A blasphe mous secret circular issued by the group advocates aison and murder, and even the killing of the wives and children of the capitalists. Nothing but hemp will ever teach the Anarch ist the lesson he ought to learn. Rev. L. N. Brock, of Chattanooga? has brought suit against the Times Publishing Co for SIO,OOO damages tor libel. The Times at divers times published matter with which it associ ated Rev. Air. Brock, that did not re flect creditably on his position and standing. Mr. Brock has at all times proven himself worthy as a minister of the Gospel, and any such libelous at tempts should not be passed by with immunity. The Hay after the Vicksburg South rons refused to march behind the negro companies at the national drill a lady left a small wagon load of strawberries at their camp. Among the strawbernes was a card bearing these words : “With the legards ot a Savannah lady, who appreciates your action in Wednesday’s parade.” The same lady also presented a wag on-load of strawberries to the Mem phis Zouaves. The Southrons are anxious to know the lady’s name. It is useless to attempt to keep down the question of Prohibition No pub lic question has ever yet obtained such a universal hold on the minds of the people, Agitating the question will certainly produce beneficiary results, whether Prohibitionists are successful in securing the passage ot prohibatory laws or not: it gives better and more general information regarding the evil of intemperance, besides the saloon men will be more considerate and careful in preventing these evils. Wm, H. Council, the negro Profess or of the lltintrville(Ala,)schoo], has made himself some reputation for in truding into the ladies coach on pass enger cars. Some days ago he, with a lot of his pupils, took his seat in the ladies’ coach on the W. & A The whits ladies gave them entire posses sion by retreating into another coach. It now happens that in the report that Commissioner Bragg delivered a pri vate opinion relative to Council's ejectment from a ladies’s coach on the W. <fc A. road to the effect that damages therefore would be sustaiued by the Commission, is false. Alioeit School Teachers. A called meeting of the Board of Education was held last week, Sena tor Brown in the chair, for the pur pose of doing some special woik. The first question coming up for consider ation was whether a white teacher occupying a position in the colored schools should be replaced by a col ored teacher. The question caused some discussion. Mr, Hoke Smith favored the change in a speech of some length, and put the resolution. He spoke of the good effect which col ored teachers would have over their pupils, socially, religiously aud other wise. Their influence over their own race would be seen in the improved condition of the children. The chil dren would respect them 4j ol ' e than they do the whites. Messrs ™anch ard, Lowry and Mayer spoke feeling ly in favor of retaining the present white teachers. Mr. Smith withdrew his motion The next question was one quite as warm. Should a woman he elected principal or a full grade school ? It was well known that this question was meau’t to cover the case of Calhoun street school. Mr. Low ry moved that sex should not stand in the way ot promotion. Mr. Hemp hill in order to bring the direct ques tion up, moved that an exception be made in favor of Mrs. Echols. Every member was on the floor at once mak ing speeches. The testimony was unanimous that if ever an exception was made to the rule, Mrs. Echols should he that exception. But the weignt of opinion was that there were certain reasons why the principal should be a man. His strong arms were olten needed to suppress the un ruly boys. Mr, Blanchard held that] there was no need-'of an additional j principal. STATE Ml IV* A mad dog was shut in Grffin Wednesday. Every church in Atlanta has had a picnic this year.

The little brown jug will now become a fixture in that locality, Jonathan Motgan, of Wire Grass, had 41 head of sheep killed recently by dogs. Twelve of the sheep were killed in one day.

A Lexington lady has two interest ing relics—one a ball of yarn spun during the revolution, and the other a glass butter dish that is known to have been in the family over 150 years. Griffin News: A rock from a blast on the Georgia Midland railroad rose 150 feet and fell through Jake Bel den’s house in West Griffin, crushing through the roof and breaking a glass chandiher and a center table. A proposition is Vteins- made by a strong element in Atlanta to extend he city limits one-half mile each wav. The proposition meets with a strong oposition, and it is not probable that extension will be made soon. The famous Daniel jWtkinson will case was the supreme court in Atlanta the 13 r .h, in favor of Aman da Banks, the colored legatee and il legtimate daughter of Dickinson. The amount involved was $300,000. «. The Governor’s refusal to commute Holman’s sentence almost proved fatal to his bister Anna. Slie the action of the heart had clam os t ceased, when a physician appeared,, and, after much anxious work and ac-j live remedies, succeeded in reviving! her. At the Jefferson jail Friday, while the workmen were putting on the last stone, it fell from the derrick, and the weight being about 2,000 lbs. it went crushing through the jail to the floor. It will delay the completion of the jail about three weeks, and cause the contractors a loss of several hundred dollars. CiLEANlftf.'S.

A <«Power, More than thirty-thousand Copies of Webster's Unabridged Fictional v has been placed in the Public Schools of the United States. Who can tell what a great power for intellectual stimulus and developement to the young mind the constant use of and reference to that number of the grest woik will be If in these schools there is an average of fifty scholars in each, it would bring more than a million and a half of scholars under its daily influence What an effect this must have in com ing years on the power of thought and language thus developed.—Well and truly has Noah Webster been called The School Master of the Repukmc.
