It is calculated that Spain has expended upwards of $110,000,000 in suppressing insurrectionary up risings in Cuba. That is $10,000,- 000 less than this government, dur the Polk administration, offered for the island. Henri Rochefort, who has taken part in a good many affairs of hon or, has finally to the conclusioi that duelling “is ignoble slaught ering. ” Henri in his old age must havi been “taking part” on out o! France territory, Gov. Atkinson’s action in de manding interest from the State banks, is meeting with universal commendation throughout the State. The banks should certainly pay some interest for the use of the money.—Augusta News. G. A. Redford, successor of the late Mr, Pigott as Court Examiner of Plays lu England, is m his 48 year. He nas been a close student of the drama for many years, and assisted Mr. Pigott in his work. His eldest son is an art critic in England. The Emperor of Russia has four separate services of horses and carriages.

Gaybcy (at party): “Miss Wool is finely formed.” Miss Wool (who overheard the remark) :“Yes, and the form is all wool.”—Philadel phia Inquirer. These are troublelous times. No sooner has the “rucus” between the Rome editors faded down to a dull glow than Uncle Sam puts a s-chip on hie shoulder and isdaring Spain to knock it off. To be on the safe side we have opened negotations with the “devil” to do our fight ing.—Chattooga News.

Colone l Woodall says: “Os the many comments made upon the President’s recent duck hunt, the following from the Apalachicola Times is among the best: “Everybody is gratified to learn that Mr. Cleveland is enjoying him self. His impulse to hunt something and shoot it on the spot is perfect ly natural under all the circum stances.” Governor Atkinson took a good step when be required the banks to pay interest on the state’s money. He is following it up with another one in inquiring into the record of the insurance companies doing business in this state. Are they taking money out of Georgia and never investing any in return? It gives the insurance companies something to think about. —Augus- ta Chronicle. President Cleveland is eaid to be in better health than he has been in some years past. His com plexion isclear and he carries him self like a man who had given up ill thoughts of becoming a con firmed invalid. His receut duck shooting expedition was of a great benefit to him, and the fact that he hasn’t a Congress on his hands acts like a tonic. The New York College of Veteri nary Surgeons last November pur chased a horse for antitoxine ex periments. He was suffering from an injured hoof and $lO was paid for him. Since that time fif teen quarts of serum, or antitoxine fluid, have been extracted from his veins, representing 45 quarts of blood. This antitoxine has doubtless saved the lives of scores of poor children. The horse could not now be bought for $5,000. Col. William H. Visher, the humorist, of Chicago, enjoys his reputation as one of the homeliest men in the country. “When I mar ried,” he says, “and had a little daughter, 1 had some owe who real ly admired me.

Even in the matter of a new form of marriage ceremo ny a Georgia Justice places his State in the immediate lead.

After all that the fee should have been in propor tion to the language. Bismuth Miller, whoever that is, and Ph ill Byrd have been crui sing sabers m Rome recently, and for a little while it looked like “blud.” Gentlemen, if you finally resort to “pistols aud coffee,” just let us know.

Speaking of parrots, a young lady on the Hill, who owns one of those tantalizing specimens of the talkative tribe of birds, tells this joke, which she avows to be true: “We bought the parrot from a sailor and a natural consequence he said naughty words. To breab him of this we always threw watt r on h : m when be cursed. One day the servant came in with seme chickens. It was rainy outside and the chickens were wet.

Lord Roseberry is a chronic suf ferer from insomnia and even S r Vernon Harcourt’s best oratorical efforts fails to bring him sleep. In Siam the first wife may be di vorced but cannot be sold.
