Its a Goodwin that Blows his own Nose.

Its Goodwin that Blows his own Nose
Onr article last week, on the "nose," we re-
greet to see, had sensitive effect on the gifted
local, of Atlanta Herald, John B. Gaadwjn.-
We presume John deemed it a personal in
fringement upon his "nose," from the fact his
greatest endowment and most attractive feature
is a large ''blowing apparatus" Gas discernible
by reading the local department OF the Herald,)
which has often elected from discOmfitted pc
destrians, the kind remark, please turn your
nose TO one side sir, until can pass"
Goodwin though, with pen dripping with
the juices of resentment, inspired by the squib
in the last JOURNAL detailing his failure to
climb telegraph pole and his utter inability
to see our town clock, expresses himself
thus:
'The same young man (meaning I'VE To-
cal') is now preparing a series OF articles on
the limbs of the body, which will appear in due
time"
Now, as Goodwin Is local editor and
a lawyer, his reputation for correctness should
by all means be sustained, and we would have
given this week disquisition on "Ftop Ear"
but as accuracy is the one thing specially aim
ed at in these articles, we prudenty thought
that it would be best to defer it until we could
see that climb of the law" Goodwin, who, 1t
is said, has a beautiful pair OF "Aop ears"
which are only equalled in size, shape, orna-
ment and energy, by those of his worthy an
eestor, Mr. j, A. G. Kaes.

necessity of showing an apparent re-

Again we find ourselves in the early
dawn OF another year, and while about
to step into the craft which is to carry
us across the unknown sea of another
year, it seems well. to cast an inquiring
look into the "reminiscences of the past
year, and if possible gather up such
Information as. may be of use in time
to come. 1t has become remarkable
fact that political parties and men
who gain their livelihood in political
pursuits, study too little the bearing
OF past events on future prospects and
results, except so far as they may af-
feet their future aggrandizement and
elevation to power and wealth, with
regard to the public need. Ii is to be
hoped that the coming year may find
reform in all parts of our land in the
execution of the departments of gov
ernment and legislation.
The cold weather which was SO
characteristic of the last days of the
last year seems to have lost its force,
and that thermometer which had the
credit of going twenty degrees below
zero, has assumed a more respectable
position of twenty above. The deep
snow which has for the last few weeks
enveloped the earth suddenly changed
from an icy, screeching mass to sposh
and water, filling many streams. els
terms and springs with that so much
needed element, called water.

THE New York Herald, Grant pa
per, INDUCES in the following pointed
remarks upon the financial policy of
the administration
The financial ways of the admins
tration are mysterious enough. Be-
fore election Mr.. Boutwell, was all ex-
pansion. When a Tightening of the
money market was felt, through the
operations of private individuals, the
government was on the street with its
greenbacks, and all was bright in the
financial sky. Since election the poll
cy of Secretary Boutwell, has been
policy of contraction. The street can
now look after itself, while the Treas
ury Department is engaged in push.
ing its Syndicate funding hobby and
arranging its details. But it Mr..
Boutwell's new policy should prove
an ill wind to the commercial COM
munity, it is likely to blow much good
to Judge Richardson, his able deputy,
who, ifreport speaks truthfully, is to
be one of the fortunate sharers in the
Syndicate profits of fifteen or twenty
millions. The United States Treasu-
ry Department has indeed proved
valuable mine to those connected with
it in recent years.
