Not a single negro justice of the pence was elected in the county, that is the way that the repulicaus serve the man and brother, yet the negroes of Chattanooga were jubilant over the election returns and many of them were overheard to say “we done um up.”—Chatta nooga News, The English,too,can make bulls.

Tom Watsons Press goes its full length in advertising “Tom Wat son’s Speech at Douglassville for ten cents,” “Tom Watsons cam paign Book” and Tom Watsons peoples party paper, the Press at so much per mouth. Tom may be a statesman but the certainly has an eye on he sheckles “while he is educating his followers’’ on campaign literature. Did Ab J x Stephens ever do this kind of junketing business in his cam paigning, Tommie? Madam Carnot, in assigning a rea son for her refusal of the offer of a pension from the French Republic,ex pressed herself with such dignity and displayed so lofty a spirit of partiot- 1 i.-m that her words dea. rve to be im pressed upon ti e memories of all lev* ers of their kind.

If not, make the test, and you will find that no mat ter how small the stream, you can not keep it constantly flowing in for more than fifteen, twenty or possibly thirty seconds ;but if you will try two or three times each day,you can double the time with in ’wo weeks. The boy or girl who will try this and keep it up regu- tor a year, will not be likely to die of consumption, and should they ever become public speakers or singers they will be very thank ful that they commenced when young to take the “lung ba'b .” The belief that unsound teeth be long only to a highlv civilized state of life seems to be a prevalent one. Bid J. Howard Mummery informs us in Nature that a very different conclu sion was reached by his father, more than 20 years ago, after an mquir extending over more than a decade. Over 2.000 skulls were examined, in cluding all the valuable collections in Great Britain. Among 36 skulls of ancient Egyptains there were 15 will carious teeth, among 76 Auglo Saxon skulls, 12; among 146 skulls of Ro mano Britons, 41, and among 44 mis cellaneous skulls of ancient 8rit0n.,.9 Several other collections gave like ii" suits Examining skulls of savage races, 27.7 per cent of Tasmanians were found to have dental caries,2o - 45 per cent of native Australians, 24 25 per cent of the natives of East Africa, and 27,96 per cent of the na tives of West Africa. NOW LEI IT PASS A telegram from Havana reports the shipment from that port ot tin last sugar bought by the Ameri can Sugar Trust,amounting to thir ty thousand tons. This sugar ought to be iu American ports within a week or ten days, andjthen Mr Gorman and his allies ought to be willing to let the tariff bill ‘pass. On this last remnant of thirty thousand tons hurried into the country in order to avoid the im port tariff duty, the trust will save something like s7so.ooo—that it to say, it will escape the payment of dutieu of something like that amount which they would have had to pay had the sugar arrived after the new law went into effect. It is bits of news like this that indicates the largeness of the stake of the protected industries in the game of politics. The men ntei ested in them are not merely citi zens. They are not on the same footing as regards the laws as oth er citizens. The taxes which bur den others are to them a blessing What impoverishes others enriches them. The consequence is that the peo ple, as represented in congress, can never do a favor to one of these in dustries by giving it an advantag in the laws withont creating a pow erful enemy s williug to spend mon ey to bring to bear every possible influence to deprive them of their right to govern themselves,of tneir right to tax themselves much or little as they please. The hel dess creatuie at the beginning. begging for alms, is| in the end a master fighting for the’perpetuariou of th special privileges that were origi nally the outcome of the charita ble disposition of a generous peo ple. The sugar trust bad a rigat to hurry into the country ail the su gar possible*, in anticipation of the imposition of a duty upon it - Nobody will dispute that right. But a great many people will think the conduct of senators who have kept the gates open for the trust during many mouths, in or der that it might escape contribu tions to the revenue while getting the benefit of the new taxes, any thing but right.—Macon Tele graph. 41iE BIGGEST FURNITURE HOUSE SOUTH.* •St n IBfc I a jOTf ' Jia ■ pB ISSB’ L-i r> aw— O, ©15.00, * Why oh R- mans orciiizens of the surround.ng country go to Atldi. a.Cnai ar gdoranyoih r city except Rome when ...icy want to p <z. 100.. >; 111;i i uft ?
