From the Charleston Observer.

Extract of a Letter from the Editor. dated
augusta Geo.. July %, 1889.
When the great public works which are in
progress in this State shall be completed, they
will furnish facilities of intercommun!cation
far greater than could have been conceived
by the most visionary mind few years ago.
Even now, to those who can compare the pres.
ent with the past, the improvement IN this res
pect is surprising. 1t seems like dream that
one can now go from Charleston to Savannah
in less than nine hours, and from thence to
Miledgeville-ad distance of about l60 miles IN
26 hours. Eighty miles Of the Central RalI
Road from Savannah towards Macon are com.
ple.ed. which the cars run over IN about hTe
hours. The road is excellent, and the cars
are bette. constructed for the comfort Of the
passengers than any we have seen. Many OF
the Counties far in the interior are already
ayailing themselves of the facilities which 1t
affords of thus far transporting their merchan-
die. From Milledgeville to Augusta VIA the
Georgia Rail Road at Warrenton.-a dlstsnce
ofnear hundred miles, is travelled oVerPrl,nlci-
pallv the night in about IA hours. When
these Roads shall be completed to the great
Trunk they will link closely together the ex'
tremities of the State by bringing them WITHIN
a DAYS Journey of each other. And with the
branches in contemplation and IN progress
and 5y the junction of other sroadssin other
States, the traveller via Charleston or SaVan-
nah. NAV pursue his way with all desirable
rapidity, and the farmer may find market
for his surplus productions with comparative
little loss of time or expense. We are graft.
fed to see that Georgia is availing herself OF
the natural advantages which she possesses IN
her nayigable rivers, and rendering them OF
atill greater utility by these works OF mternai
improvement.
The Morus nIultic auii- fsoer, it is, called
prevails TO some extent in Macon, as also IN
many other parts of the State. But from the
fullest inquiries we could make in reference to
it, we are inclined to regard it with favor
The bounty offered by the State on cocoons
and silk will, it is said, pay the entire expense
of the culture-leaving to the cutiyator as
clear gain the product Of his toll. The soil
and climate appear well adapted to the cul-
tyre. and silk may yet become staple COM
modify of the South. 1t is already beginning
to furnish employment to hundreds who would
otherwise be idle-and as idleness is the pa
rent of crime, it may have in its moral aspect
a beneficial result. And to the poor, and to
those who have but very limited capital, 1t
NAV furnish the means of support more amply
than they could obtain it in other employ
ments.

in modern times, we will give them the result
of our cogitations on the subject. We suppose
a Bustle to be certain machine, worn 80 ter
go" by those lovely bipeds, which gives them
that delightfully."- hump. .back'd appearance "a Ia
mode Dromedary) so fascinating TO the beaux.
To a superficial thinker this may seem a
strange fancy in the ladies (for our grand moth
ers, poor, ignorant souls, grew up as straight
as poplars) but it evinces thorough acquaint-
ance with Philosophy. 1t is principle long
since acknowledged, that Beauty consists in
curved lines," and if a lady is SO unfortunate
as to have straight spine, she must put on
Bustle or fail in possessing the curred line OF
Beauty. How delightful to see the antigua
ted distractions of the schools thus practically
applied to the Improvement of female beauty
Had Philosophy been earlier introduced INTO
our Female Semnaries, our dear, departed
grand. mothers might have seen the matter IN
it's true light, and have had Bustles too, ana
have been as crooked as Black. jacks.
