Atkinson’s idea of form . ing one Georgia regiment of the men who want to remain in service is a good one, ‘provided enough soldiers can agree to stay.—Augusta Chronicle. And those who stay are per mitted to name the officers who are to command them. victorious south. Just before he died, Wendell Phillips, who did so much to force war on the south, in old days, and who insisted on dras tic methods with “rebels and traitors,” declared that the south and not the north had. triumphed. In conjunction with Mr. Phillips was William Loyd Garrison. Garrison’s son evi dently agrees with the lament of Wendell Phillips. He in the most caustic language, de nounced the evils of the recent war, and, in conclusion, says: “Moreover, the present aggra vated ills of the country a»‘e the direct legacy of the civil war. Without it the protective tariff would long since have given way to the English system of revenue toward which it was rapidly tending. The greenback and silver controversies would neVer have been born. The plutocracy which has assumed such alarm ing proportions had its genesis in army contracts, inflated 1 prices and special privileges so easily obtained unnoticed amid the clash of arms.” Mr. Garrison is e\ idently sorry that his ancestor prodded the south into hostilities or that >fibe war and reconstruction were not conducted differently. Mr. Gar rison evidently thinks that the present condition of the negro is not in some respects, as favor able as it was before 1861. Just think whit a mighty power the south is and was. Not only did she make the best fight in history for constitutional lib erty, but has dragged the victo rious section down to whit M.\- Garrison considers a fearful abyss. So, if the north had al lowed the erring sisters to have gone in peace, there would have been no robber tariff, no money panic and no plutocracy. The men who forced the south to war had, according to Mr, Garrison a fearful responsibility and the northern men who pro claim their section triumphant, are according to Mr. Garrison. 1 worse than vanquished. Perhaps Henry Watterson, J udge Reagan and other old Confederates are, 1 with imperialism, putting the capstone to the northern over 1 throw.— \ugusta Chronicle. Bismarck was one day in a I company where among other things the subject of how much it cost to gain experience in life cropped up. He kept silent fir a time, but presently joined in t the conversation and said: ‘‘Fools pretend that you can on- ly , ain experience at your own expense, but I have always m.Hinged to learn at the expense of others.”- Thi- is <> ><• war in which the ’nospit il siH /oons of the volun teer citni|»s -oem to have been in league nii n he camp following unlerta er<.

Some men resemble dice —easily rattled, but hard to shake. There are times when the brave deserve immunity from the fair. Nothing curdles the milk of human kindness like indifference. The man in love los’s self possesion in trying tn posses sion of another. The patriotism of some men is limited to red, white and blue pok* er chips. The wife who chases her husband with a poker rules him with a rod of iron. Some men have a delicate spnse of humor, and the humor or others is senseless Practice makes perfect.

Spain is showing a disposition to haggle, and hopes to unload the bulk of the Cuban debt up on Cuba. She will claim com pensation for public works in Cuba, and will fight hard for any’advantages. Alger was guilty of base in gratitude in sending that ex planatory letter to Doctor Dep jew. He ought to have given it J to the Chicago Inter Ocean and aided a faithful friend to score a . scoop.
