was appointed his chief clerk. On the resig-
nation Of Gov. Crawford he acted as Secretary
of War until the appointment Of Gov. Craw-
ford's successor. After the war he went to
New York, where he held the position of
Deputy Sheriff under John Kelly. Still later
he held an office in the city of New York
under the Tweed administration. He came
to Atlanta about three years ago, upon the
invitation OF the Hon. A. H. Stephens, to
take charge of the Atlanta Sun Office. This,
however, he declined to do. During his resi-
dence here he held an Office on the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, under Gov. Brown,
but for short time only. At another time
he performed some work for the State Govern
ment.
GEN. TooMBss LEGACY.
The reference to Gen. Toombs in his Request
needs some explanation. For a long time Mr..
Anderson's financial condition has been none
OF the best, and it seems that he has been the
recipient Of the favors of several Of his old
associates, whom he knew in better days.
Some three or four months ago, being orst Of
employment, he made known his necessities
to Gen. Tombs, and that gentleman, more
out Of sympathy for his condition than other
wise, got him to assist him in fixing up the
papers and to hunt out the law authorities in
some very important lawsuits then pending.
He proposed to pay him 1925 per month.
When half of the first month was passed,
Anderson drew on Gen. Toombs for half a
months salary, s62 So The draft was paid
on presentation. He subsequently drew for a.
full months salary. This was also paid. Some
time in September Gen. Toombs, being in the
city and ascertaining that he was in need of
money, gave him a check ON one of the banks
tor 500. Mr.. Anderson proposed to give his
due bill for this amount, but Gen. Toombs
declined taking it, saying. ''he wanted no
hereafters; it was all right" and to Col.
Nichols proprietor of the Kimbsll House at
that time, who came in the room during the
after Anderson left, he said that
he was an old friend who had seen better
days, and he felt it his duty to help him. On
the LIST Of December he made another draft
on Gen. Tocmbs for 1926, making it payable
to Mr.. Jerry Lynch, which draft came back
protested. Mr.. Anderson received note
about the time the draft came back unpaid
from Gen. Toombs informing him that he
owed him nothing. MIR. Anderson was under
the impression that the engagement was
permanent one. After he found the money
for his services in November had not been
paid, he became very detected and was very
toward Gen. TOombs.

A WINTER WATERING PLACE.

Col. Forney writes: "a watering place by
the sea in winter While Cape Island, Long
Branch, Newport and Atlantic City are as
sailed with storm and snow, and certainly
closed to all visitors, the south coast of Eng
land is radiant with fashion and wealth; and
Brighton, queen Of the circle Of these lovely
cities by the sea, finds her regular population
of $4,000 increased by the crowds of visitors
to $780, 900. Brighton is about fifty miles from
London-less than two hours by rail; and
when got here the first sight was the sea, as
smooth as glass, exactly like the aspect of the
Atlantic from the American beach ON q sum-
mer afternoon.
Imagine Long Branch on hill facing the
ocean, the beach extending back, and the
town seated on q hill: long level drive,
raised above the sands, hanked by three miles
of bright stone palaces, and behind these
crescents of streets of the same material, busy
with trade and travel-in fact, q mimic Lon
don. 1t was crisp November day in Lon
don, and we had cold feet on the ride, but
here the breath ofthe sea seemed to temper
were working in the gardens; the birds were
singing on the wing: the sun shone warm on
the water; and though there were rugs in the
passing carriages and the stout English on
the Parade wore heavy coats, the climate was
very like our Indian summer.
The winter is the season of the aristocracy,
and they seemed to be here in force, judging
by the long procession OF equippages, the
throngs in the magnificent hotels, and the
universal gayety. Here all is solid :; no frame
houses, ready to take fire and burn like tin
der, but permanent and massive architecture,
recalling ages past and defying ages to come.
Brighton is the radiating point tor visitors to
the South Coast, to Eastbourne, Tunbridge
Wells, Hastings, St. Leonards, Worthing,
Portsmouth, Ise Of Wight, etc. The excur-
sion to all these places of ancient history can
be made in two hours at a small expense, but
the people, the mass, rush to them in the
summer, while the elite prefer the winter.
And the student or artist is well rewarded
for the time he gives to latitude where there
is never too much heat in the one or cold in
the other. He will find the fine old parish
Church of St. Peter Quilt by Sir Charles
Barry, the architect of the new Houses of Par
liament), at Brighton, with many magnificent
modern structures: at Eastbourne he can visit
Penensy Castle, supposed to be constructed
out of Roman fortress, and at Hastings he
can walk over the spot where the great battle
was fought that transferred the British crown
from the Saxons to the Normans, and the re-
mains of thescastle of William the Conquerer,

FUNNY MEN OF THE PRESS.

The clowns of journalism are now legion
and a recognized constituent Of the fourth
estate. Every now and then new one jumps
into the ring with "Here I am cap, bells
and motley!" and proceeds at once to the
prosecution Of his department Of "funny
every abuse of language, by every distortion
of phraseo:ogy, by every perversion of the true
line of thought, by every conceit Of fancy that
suggests itself to an imagination warped by
malpractice in his line of business. He'll
catch q quaint idea roaming loosely
through his hair brain and set it agoing, for
the amusement of his readers, as it were
cur with tin kettle at its tail. He'll set off
frework of an idea swapping and sparkling on
its way, to be seen and wondered at for a mo-
ment, but to end in smoke and fizzle-played
out and forgotten after its transient mission.
Sometimes his cur won't perform-won't run
doesn't sparkle; in fact his fun falls fiat; and
he's miserable; he is a disappointed artist,
and feels that he is failure and that every
body considers him failure-especially his
employer, or his subscribers, if he is pub
Usher.
Our clown is become as essential to the
press as the jester is in the plays Of Shake
speare to relieve their darker shades-as the
lights contrasting the shadows of picture
that both may stand out in clearer relief. His
Joke comes into the column as the neighbor
paragraph to the chronicle of murder most
foul. He airily disports his rattle-brain fam
tastes on the same sheet that sets forth the
conclusions Of the grave and reverend seign-
iors of church and State in the journalistic
record of events. His jest is in the inter.
lude, like the sardine in sandwich, that
comes between the more bulky and substan-
tial; that relieves the labored, artistic feats
Of the hippodrome. He thinks lightly OF the
heavy, leading editorials of his confreres OF
the press because he is satisfied he could write
them better if he only wanted to; but it is too
slow for him; there is too little point in it;
it is Lot his part in the play to prose and
recite ponderous truths; but it is his to make
! ''points of Jest" Those are deep and sound
and he knows that SO he is, at the bottom OF
his own restless mind: yet he will not draw
from the still reservoir of sober thought, but
sconrges it to fury with the lash Of eccentric
fancy, and the harvest be then reaps, the
thoughts that it pleases him to print, are as
the airy foam of the pillows which only the
great salt waves of the deep sea in restless
action can form on the surface The calm,
sweet waters of the little pond fling no such
foam crests to their surface, and though he
NAV love and long for that repose, his very
nature forbids its attainment, and he lashes
into action the salt waters Of his deep sea of
thought to gather but the evanescent foam OF
its billows-to sparkle a moment, then
vanish away. Erchanqe

under consideration. Attorney General Viii
liams expressed his views upon the action of
the Returning Board, strongly asserting his
opinion that it was legal and correct in all its
particulars, and said it should be sustained
by the Government at all hazards.
There was some conversation upon the re-
ports of probable violations OF the public peace
upon the assembling OF the Legislature on the
4th Of January, and the opinion was expressed
that the United States forces, now stationed
at New Orleans, are amply sufficient to pre-
vent any serious outbreaks should any such
occur.
The Senate Caucus Committee on Cheap
Transportation expect to have their report

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The Postmaster
General to-day issued orders disseminating
steamboat service on four routes which sup
ply Key West, namely: from New York, Bal
timore. New Orleans and Tampa, and also
from Cedar Keys to Tampa. The service from
New York and New Orleans was weekly, cost
ing respectively S31 200 and S6G. $50 per an
mum, and from Baltimore, Tampa, semi
monthly. The service from Baltimore cost
$50, 200 year.
The annual cost of all the above aggregated
S143,97 per annum. In lien of the service
discontinued, the Postmaster General has con-
tracted to supply Key West twice week from
Cedar Keys, the western terminus Of the
Florida Railroad, thirty-d miles distant, at a
yearly cost of $4,000, thereby effscting an
annual saving of over S93. 900, while at the
same time improving the quality of the ser
vice.
Under the old arrangement mails for Key
West from all parts of the country were first
sent either to New York or New Orleans,
which involved long and frequent delays.
Hereafter they will be dispatched by rail di-
rect to Cedar Keys, whence, to Key West, the
schedule time by steamer is thirty hours.

VISITORS TO EDITORIAL RooMs.-The SPRING
field interviewer, when he visited the Gazette
Office, thought he had reason to feel he was not
treated politely. He found several persons in
the Office, all at work. who did not drop their
pens and rise to their feet when he approached.
They answered his questions IN as few words
az possible and without looking up, perhaps
That was not polite, but 1t Is q species OF i'm
politeness that has become a necessity in the
editorial rooms OF newspapers; and people
who visit such places on their own business
must calculate upon apparently cool receptions.
Not all who visit editorial rooms are intruders
or bores, but great many are, these are 30
numerous that all visitors are looked upon with
some degree OF suspicion until their business
becomes known. 1t is never pleasant to be in
terrupted in editorial work. Ii has a tendency
to male men cross. There is press sure upon
editors. They work nearly all the time under
a pressure. Often their IDEAS do not flow freely,
and when they are not pleasing themselves
they are not in mood to spend much time up
on those who interrupt them. We suppose it
is safe to say that three-fourths OF those who
call to see the editor" have no business prop
erly with that individual. Often they do not
know him personally, aud in order to find him
they interrupt half a dozen or dozen men,
who have important work to do. and only a
limited time to do it in. Then, if they receive
short answers, they feel aggrieved, and talk
about mpolits treatment. The editorial rooms
of newspaper establishment are private, and
are only to be VISITED, except as matter OF
favor, by those who have business that con-
Germs the editor. The best way, if people have
something to say to the editor, is to write that
something down and send it to HIM. This
would save time on both sides, and ans ver a
better purpose. nine times out OF ten. than
