A Savannah telegram of Saturday says:
The latest railroad news is to the effect
that the Savannah. Macon and Dublin
road is uow working to come by Savan¬
nah early in 1892. The officers of the
road have been in correspondence with
the Middle Georgia and Atlantic people
for some time, and it is understood that
they are desirious of making their way
to Hutchinson’s island over the latter’s
track.
A dispatch of Saturday from Fresno,
Cal., says: Gratton Dalton, the fugitive
train robber, who escaped from Visalia
jail last September, was overtaken by
officers, in the mountains Friday and in a
desperate fight one of the officers was
killed and two of the robber gang were
wounded. Dalton escaped unhurt. He
was convicted of robbing the Sonthern
Pac tic at Alila, in Tulare county, last
January.
Thursday night a large house six miles
from Goldsboro, N. C., occupied by
William Pearsall, suddenly burst into
flames. By the time people reached it
the house was in ruins. The skeletons
of Pearsall, his wife and two children
were found. It wus evident that Pear¬
sall was trying to save his children, as
their skeletons were on either side of his.
There is considerable suspicion that the
f unily was murdered and the house set on
fire.
GeoTge Rose and his son Sam, were
tried at Murphy, N. C., Saturday before
Uniied States Commissioners Patterson
and Henry on the charge of counterfeit¬

Rose was sent to jail. His father gave
bond for his appearance at the United
States court in Asheville. They have
been counterfeiting dollars and nickels,
and the counterfeits exhibited in court
are the basest sort of imitations of the
coin of the realm, being made from pew¬
ter or metal.
A Montgomery dispatch of Wednesday
says: The contract for grading ten miles
of the Alabama Grand Trunk Railway
Company, commencing at Montgomery,
has been let, work to commence January
1st, to be completed May 1st. The con¬
tractor has been connected with the
Georgia and Alabama Construction Com¬
pany, builders of the Savannah, Americus

has a very liberal legislative charter, and i
several exceeding'y valuable right of way
franchises in and near the city of Mont¬
gomery.
THE VACANCIES STILL VACANT.
5# Appointments by the President Yet
for the Interstate Commission.
A Washington dispatch says: There
was Wednesday some comment at the capitol
upon the failure of the pres¬
ident to send to the senate for confirma¬
tion the names of the persons to fill the
vacancies in the interstate commerce
commission. One of the originally ap¬
pointed commissioners is dead, one has
resigned, and Commissioner Morrison’s
term of office will expire January 1st,
before the senate reassembles. Owing to
the peculiar ^phraseology of the creating
act, the terms of the commissioners ex¬
pire they at the eud appointed, ol the period instead for which of
are
continuing, the as is usual, until
qualification of their suc¬
cessors, so that when Commissioner Mor¬
rison’s term of office ceases on January
1st, the Commission will consist of but
two members. Some fears have been ex¬
pressed riously that the commission will be se¬
charging crippled and prevented from dis¬
its full functions after the first
of the year owing to this state of affairs,
but it appears from a peiusal of the act
that that emergency is guarded against
by a paragraph in section 11, providing
that no vacancy in the commission shall
impair the right of the remaining com¬
missioners to exercise all the powers of
the commission.

A POSTAL GUIDE
Which Has Been Issued by Postmaster
General Wauamnker.
Postmaster General Wanamaker has
issued a postal guide, the only official
organ of the postoffice department, and
in it is a number of matters of interest.
He makes several important recommend¬
ations. One is that physical examina¬
tions of applicants should be made for
the heavy work of the railway mail. A
very general extension of the money order
system is advised, and a number of rea
sons given. The adaptation of the tele¬
phone to the postal system is heartily
recommended . The lottery towns come
in fora great deal of attention.
From all over the United States but
686 letters containing lottery tickets
were received at the dead letter office
from December, 1890, to last October, an
average of sixty-two q month. At pres¬
ent the average is less than forty, which
shows that the anti-tottery bill is being
enforced. This enforcement, however,
curtailed the revenue of the revenue
service more than one million dollars last
ye«r. Here is a statement from the
Postmaster General, the truth of which
is not generally known:
“Only once in a quarter of a century—
in 1882-1883, just prior to the inaugura¬
tion of two-cent postage—have the
department receipts met the expenditures.
The estimates for 1893, which have been
coming prepared session, for the show action that of congress the service at the
may be made to reach a self-sustai. ing
basis by July additional 1, 1893. railway postal service
In the
established during the year, the south
comes in for a full share. Of the 8,000
miles increase, three-fourths were sup¬
plied to w estern and southern states, the
south having 1,400.
The postmaster general meets the
views of a big number in what he has to
say shout the telegraph.
“I want to see,” he remarks, “the two
great servants of the people, the post
office and the telegraph, reunited, and
the telephone brought in to enhance the
value of the combination. Public inter¬
ests, private needs, and the popular will
call for these agencies to perfect the
great postal system of this country.
Sixty-four millions of people are taxing
themselves to-day to the amount of
$70,000,000 annually to mai'dain the
postoffice plant, and are denied the right
to vilalize this magnificent, machinery
with the mightiest force which science
has given to render that machinery most
effective.”
As to reducing letter postage to a uni¬
form rate of 1 cent, Mr. VI auamaker
has this to say:
“To do tb ; s means exactly that the de¬
partment will lose one-half of the re¬
ceipts from letter postage. One half
would be $20,716,003.75. Ihavehereto¬
fore stated that 1 cepit postage will be suc¬
cessfully demanded in time. I believe
that time is not far off. It would not be
just and fair to a service upon which
every effort has been spent for two years
to muke it self-sustaining, and which
now promises to become so in the next
fiscal year, to heap upon it, the instant
the balance sheet becomes char, a bur¬
den of millions.”
The postmaster general believes that
letter-carriers should not he weighted
down like pack-horses; that railway
postal clerks should be paid for the
dangers they face daily; that it is wrong
to pay a fourth-class postmaster $100 a
year who has to pay $200 for fitting his
office with boxes, and that rural delivery
should be widely extended.
Then comes a valuable irem regarding
newspapers which he says, could be car¬
ried Iree. “It is possible from July 1,
1893, to take off the entire tax on news¬
papers, except for city delivery, if all
books of every kind are placed on a level
with other merchandise and the postage
may be reduced by c. msolidating fourth
class matter with the third-class.
FIELD IS INSANE.
According to the Vervict of a Jury
Twenty-Four Men.
A dispatch from White Plains, N. Y.,
says: lunacy Judge Robertson, commissioner in
ward to inquire into the sanity of Ed¬
M. Field, heard the case Wednes¬
day. After Field’s wife and several
his friends and acquaintances testified to
evidences of unsound mind, extending
Fitch ihrough the past two years, Drs. Allen
and Frank H. Ingram, experts on
insanity, testified that they had exam ned
Edwan.1 M. Field and thought him in¬
sane. The case Wiis then submitted to a
tenjjminutes jury, aud the jury retired. Alter being
taey returned a verdict that
Edward M. Field was a lunatic, and was
not also responsible for his actious. They
found that his personal property is
valued at $20,000. The verdict was
unanimous. There was no argument.
r J he jury consist'd of twenty-four men.
MEAN OFFICIALS
Prevent Reports of Destitution Reach¬
ing the Czar.
A letter has been received in London
from Moscow which declares that when
the governors of the famine-stricken
provinces submitted the most gloomy re¬
ports to the central famine committee ns
to the condition of affairs in those prov¬
inces, the committee refused to allow the
reports to be sent to the czar, and insisted
they should be modified before his majes¬
ty was allowed to see them. Acting un¬
der instructions, when the governors
were given an audience by the czar, they
told him that matters in their respective
provinces were satisfactory, and that the
situation was improving. Reports re¬
ceived from the provinces in which fam¬
ine is prevalent state that wheat is arriv¬
ing from other provinces, and the people
are becoming more hopeful.

TRUE THOROUGHBRED,
HE IS THE ONLY GENUINE ARIS¬
TOCRAT IN THE WORLD.
The Story of the Blooded Horse From
the Days ot Mohammed, aud ou
to Our Own.
The only genuine aristocrat on earth
is the thoroughbred horse. Compared
with his pedigree, the blood of the best
born man is a mud-puddle, for no fam¬
ily, however great, has remained long
without the mixture of some humbler
strain. But the presence of a single
drop of blood from an animal whose
name is not written in the stud book is
enough to bar a horse from this class. It
is true the stud book, with two excep¬
tions, gives no dates earlier than the
eighteenth century, but every thorough¬
bred horse now in existence can be traced
to one of three horses brought to Eng¬
land in the latter part of the seventeenth
century, from a country where the rep¬
utation of a horse is a matter of pride
and triumph to a whole tribe, and his
capture or death almost as great a ca¬
lamity as the loss ot their chief; where
he lives with the family, petted by the
children, washed, and combed, and dec¬
orated by the women, and where his
pedigree is their most precious record.
The Arabs claim that every horse of the
Kochiani, as they call their royal breed,
can show direct descent from one of tne
mares that cairied the prophet Mahomet,
and they are fond of asserting that these
mares were descended from the horses
which the Queen of Bheba brought as a
present to King Solomon.
The three horses who stamped them¬
selves so indelibly upon the English
breed were the Darley Arabian, the
Godolpbin Arabian (or, more accurately
Barb, for he came lrom the Barbary
States and differed somewhas from the
true Arab, and the Beyerly Turk, so
called, because he was the charger of
Captain Byerlv, an English officer in the
Irish wars of King William III in 1689.
The Darley was the true Arab, and be¬
came the propenitor of a large majority
of all the thoroughbred horse3 now in
existence. The Godolphin came to Eng¬
land from France, where a gentleman by
the name of Coke saw him hitched to a
cart in the streets of Paris. Siruck by
his appearance, he inquired about him,
and finding th it he came from Africa,
bought him, it is said, for ten guineas,
and presented him to the Earl of Godol¬
phin. His height was fifteen hands, and
he had au enormously high crest. Each
of these horses is represented by descen¬
dants whose brilliant records on the turf
have made them historical, and modern
pedigrees are not usually traced any
further back. The Darley is represented
by two lines, one through Flying Child-,
ers. Snap and Waxy were through the
former line and Eclipse through the lat¬
ter. Flying Childers was the wonder of
his age and was never beaten. Of course
the time-honored tradition ol his running
a mile a minute is a transpar eut fiction
as a horse would have to cover
eighty-eight feet—that is make more
than three strides in a second. Eclipse
was the property of a Mr. O’Kelly. In
his first race against a large fiald ot
horses, his owner offered, before the
horses started for the second heat, to
name the order in which every one
would finish. This seemed to be an im¬
possible offer, aud bets at great odds
were made. When called on to declare
the order, Mr. O’Kelly shouted: “Eclipse
first, and the rest nowhere.” As
Eclipse distanced the whole field, they
had, in turf language, no place, and Mr.
O’Kelly won a large fortune.
Eclipse started eighteen times and was
never beaten. The representative of the
Bjerly Turk is the great King Herod,
foaled in 1758. Herod was a bay fif¬
teen hands three inches, possessing great
girth and length combined with immense
staying powers. He was bred by the
Duke of Cumberland, the uncle of
George III. Of Herod’s progeny Wood¬
pecker, Glencoe and Bay Middleton are
the most famous. Glencoe was imported
to this country, and his daughters were
bred to our immortal Lexington with
such success that it was called the
golden cross.
Bay Middleton was so fast that when
his owner was asked if he could stay for
four miles, said he couldn’t say as no
horse he had ever met could stay with
him for a mile aud a half. The Godol¬
phin is represented by Matchless and
Sorcerer. Speaking -generally the Dar¬
ley is the stout blood, the Turk the
speedy blood and the Godolphin the
large breed, but with a tendency to die
out, and nowadays extremely rare. To
show the va'ue of pure blood, Samson, a
horse of the eighteenth cent fey, was of
unknown pedigree. He was one of the
best horses of the day and his son Bay
Malton, was as good. Their success
raised quite au outcry against the theory
of the breeders. But in the next gener¬
ation the advocates of pure blood had
the laugh on their side. No colt of
Bay Malton was worth his feed, and
today no intelligent breeder would touch
a horse that had any trace ot the Sam¬
son blood.
Our American thoroughbred is of truly
royal blood. Almost every horse now on
our turf who is not the result of later
importations is decended from Dioraed,
one of the best'grandsons of King Herod.
He was brought to Virginia and his son,
Sir Archy, born in 1805, became so
famous that his colts were eagerly sought
by breeders. The great Lexington, who
thirty years ago shared in the public
heart a place with Flora Temple, was
the best son of Boston, -who was the
best son of Timoleon, who was the best
son of Sir Archy, who was the best son
of Diotned, who was the best son of
Florizel, a son of Herod.
In looking at a thoroughbred one is
struck with the fineness of his head, with
its broad forehead, delicate ears, taper
muzzle and nostrils widely distonted
showing their lining of rich blood red.
The neck is rather long and decidedly
straight, the arch so much admired in
the saddle horse being positively objec¬
tionable. This straight line is nature’s
provision that the circulation of air in
the windpipe may be as free as possible.
The body seems long, but it will be
found that a large part of it is taken up
by the shoulders and hind quarters, and
that the middle piece is not actually
longer than in the horse who from in¬
ferior shoulders and quarters appears
eight inches shorter, just as the apparent
slimness of the legs is deceptive. Stand
in front and they look as thin as a deer’s
legs, but stand at one side and you see
at once how wide this flat bone of the
lower leg is. Put a cart horse alongside
and his leg would make two of the
thoroughbred's, but the bone of the lat¬
ter actually weighs the most. One is as
fine and dense as ivory, the other coarse
and porous like a sponge. The mane and
tail are very fine and silky, but rathei
scanty, and the hair is perfectly straight.
A big flowing tail and tossing mane,
with a tendency to curl, are sure signs
of cold blood. The skin is very thin and
shows plainly the delicate network ol
veins which it hardly seems to cover.—
Atlanta Constitution.
A Language lor Dogs.
It must also be borne in mind that
dogs are and always have been bred for
special purposes, such as pointing, re¬
trieving, running, watching, and biting,
but not for calls geueral attention intelligence. Mr.
Gallon, who to this fact,
suggests that it would be interesting as
a psychological experiment to mate the
cleverest dogs generation after genera¬
tion, breeding and educating them sole¬
ly for intellectual power and disregard¬
ing every other consideration.
In order to carry out this plan to per¬
fection and to realize all the possibilities
involved in such a comprehensive
scheme, it would be necessary to devise
some system, of signs by which dogs
would be able to communicate their
ideas more fully and more clearly than
they can do at present, both to each oth¬
er and to man. That the invention of
such a language is not impossible is evi¬
dent from what has been already
achieved in the training of dogs for ex¬
hibition, as well as from the extent to
which they have learned to understand
human speech by mere association with
man. Professor A. Graham Bell believes
that they may be taught to pronounce
words, and is now making scientific ex¬
periments in this direction. The same
opinion was expressed two centuries ago
by no less authority than Leibnitz, who
adduces some startliug facts in support
of it. The value of such a lauguage as a
means of enlarging the animal’s sphere
of thought and power of conception,and
of giving a higher development to its in¬
tellectual faculties, is incalculable.—

A Novel Fire Escape.
Fire ’ have hitherto rule
escapes as a
been limited to ropes and ladders, which
are often rendered useless either by the
fire or by the rush of people and the
difficulty women and children have in
making use of them. A newly patented
fire escape seems to avoid many of the
usual drawbacks. It consists of a form
of elevator, attached to the back, of 8
building, with fireproof doors leading
into it from the end of each hallway or
every floor. The doors close automati¬
cally and the person entering it is at once
shut off from the fire. He steps on a
platform in the elevator and hi 3 own
weight will take him to the bottom and
land him out of doors. The elevator
works automatically and cannot be pu<
out of order by Wy use. The weight
of a child is sufficient to send it to the
bottom the speed being regulated auto¬
matically by a common governor attached
to the top. Any number of people
could be going down at the same time
without increasing the speed. The plat¬
forms are attached to an endless chain,
folding as they pass up and falling int<
place as they comedown.— Chicago News,
Masterpiece of the Confectioner’s Art.
One of the most remarkable master¬
pieces or the confectioner’s art ever seen
is now on exhibition in Paris. It is the
work of one M. Baroneret, and is a
miniature reproduction of the Cathedral
of Notre Dame. It cost its maker and
his assistants no less than seventeen
months of labor, and is made entirely of
sugar, the white of eggs and other ma¬
terials used by confectioners. The ven¬
erable building is reproduced with mar¬
velous fidelity. The spire, the towers,
the pillars, the arches, tne windows, the
delicate sculptures, even the heads of
the monsters which form the gargoyles,
are exactly copied. The same scrupulous
care has been taken with * the interior.
If you look through the great west door
you see the high altar, the chapels, th©
statues and the mosaics. The church is
lighted by gelatine, as Notre Dame is by
its by windows,m the daytime, and at night
tiny gas chandeliers__ New York
