There is a favorite place in Paris for the Americans to loaf and it is ' called Henry's. I sometime in pass- I mg, drop iu to listen to what they ' have to say. When I entered the i other day a rich American was say- I ing *'l live iu Paris because I find I here the highest civilization of the ( nineteenth century, culture, refine* i ment, elegance and pleasure that would please a prince or ch»rm a tired mortal to sweetest ecstasy." I wondered who he was and how ho lived. Many live this way a few months in Paris. Balls, theatres, fetes, races, then to Monte Carlo the famous gambling resort, them to the Battle of the Flowers and the magnificent entertainments at Nice or to shoot pigeons, some go to England to join iu the stag and fox chases, and there are so it goes, a ceasless’rouud to killjme. How this American , lives lihav’ntyot found out. e© o 1 i Sunday over here is a wonderful 1 ' "=! I WEDESDAY EVtMNG FEB:.U .'.BY. 28. 1894, day ; with the stores, bar-rooms! theatres and balls ip full blast, it is a wundor’ul contrast to ths good and peaceful scenes Ivo always boon acciiitonoed to iu my dear old Geoigia home. The carpenters and laborers work all day and knock off on Monday. Today is t Sunday and the great internationi 1 bicycle race between Baras of Franco and Buran of England lakes place. A friend who has a private box asked me to join him but I hav’nt grown tough enough yet. o o o Another thing that strikes m« as funny is that the people don't drink water. I wonder what my good friend Seaborn Wright would do over here? I hardly see how he could be a con sistent prohibitionist for if he drank water it would "kill him dead” and if he drank wine it would kid him as a prohibitionist. I guess Jake Moore would have the lausrh on him. They do not drink much strong drink here ah J you seldom see a drunk man. They say, that in the sparkling depths °f the delicious wines they find the elixer of life. While I advocate no man’s drinking yet it seems to me to be less harmful in France than Geor gia, on account of the lighter drink. Absinthe, Paris Absinthe, that deadly drug which some drink and for a little while breathe the fra grance of the Eysian fields and catch the sweetest faacies of terrestrial glo ries and at last too often awaken a wreck, a ruin, mad-man, or leaps into the laughing current of the Seine an 1 lie at last in the Morgue. Did yeu ever taste it, the Parisian variety?, The ether evening I ordered the boy to bring nse a glass and I found it as clear and transparent as John’s moun tain mineral water, but adding about two-thirds es water it became cloudy and milky looking. I cannot distin guish it’s taste from Paregoric. Il’s effect Ido net know, it was my first and it is my last glass. o o o It is said that the reverence, which we in our country cherish towaids our God, is not generally obsenei here, Whether or not, they follow the teachings of Voltaire or others Ido not know, but I do know that they have at least two idols, one is Napo lean -wound whose gilded sarcopha gus they love to linger and bow in profoundest reverence, and the other is seen upon every street corner, 'on every gas post, upon every work of art that makes famous the wonderful Gardens of the Tuilleries and every where all over Paris, this Goddess of nudeness ii adored of all the adora bles. In Reme I guess Jim Brown and his able assistant would arrest the whole business and I think I can guess our Resorder’s pidquie nt, be that as it may, our ministers would be inclined to shell the woods, and George Harris would have some thing else'te harp upon, than that nobis body of good fellows, the Cherokee Club of Rome. I myself can see no particular reason, why enlightened civiliza tion should decree, that high art should be modelled in such fash— ions—but it is a fact nevertheless o o o [ Three little things have made I tn« a little homesick. It happened ' his way— Gee day on the Beu e v*rd I saw s horsn with a long tail, n was the first 1 had laid eyes on Biiioo I left old Georgia aud my thoughts naturally traveled down that way; another time near the Madeleine, I ran across a negro boy with an old derby hat on and a “Jim swinger” ceat aud again my "thoughts turned back to Dix ie’ ; and out in the suburb? on another occasion, I stepped in ’he mud and then I became right homesick. toe I wish you would sead Clyde Shropshire, a copy of yeur p*p«r accasionally, for he has asked a million questions about Rome aud A II McARVER&Co.

Ho left' home five or six months ago and' then his downfall began, He wan-' , dered over the country in a dcsul-i ! tory fashio i aud turned up in At— i lanta a few weeks ago without! money. He was ashamed to goj back to Rome and the expedient! he chese was thieving. Last week bo went to the rosi- j denc?s of Mr. James R.

He examined the house whilo doing the work aud arranged for his burglarious visit. Monday afternoon ho went back to the house and stole the rings. He was arrested in a pawnshop and defi antly denied the ins ulation nf. thoft. Nevertheless the dete-xivoa Cason aud Looney, believed hi®, guilty and held him. As relates in yesterday's Constitution, the ring!, wci< . iei '.’tied by Mr. King, who, on coming to report the theft, was pleasantly amazed to find his jewelry already iu the hands of ths officers. Still Johnson was defiant, 'bit yesterday he broke down, aed, ic the moat pitiable manner, he con fessed his guilt. “It’s terrible.” said he, "and f would give the world if I could re call what I have done . My rela tives are highly respectable peo ple, and if I had only remained ar ; home ther« w uld have been noth i mg of this.” Tne man was shaking l like a lea: and was, indeted, a sad. 1 spectacle. ; He was sent to jail on a charge |of burg Jf-y. Another warrant for larceny fiom thepersoj was swora i out by Huntsey Glover, Glevee : says Johnson stole a ring fro® jbim also. ■ “It wasn‘t me“ said Johnson**”!, [was whiskey that did it.“ i The Hustler of Rome, in • through the list of Rome’s Charley ' Johnsons, finds that the Charley aow iin the Atlanta prison is ths soa of I Mr. Sid Johnson, who was once ax I engineer in this city.
