While a negro man down in Geor-
gia, the other day was carrying q
child in his arms along the road, a
large eagle swept down upon them
and endeavored to seize the child. A
lively battle ensued between the pa
rent and the eagle, the latter getting
the best of it until farmer came to
the rescue, and knocked the eagle
seenseless with an ak. The bird
was captured, and, as it has recov
cred, it is an object of considerable
cusiosity in the neighborhood.

Either occasional writer's for the
press must stop using Latin quota
tions or the printers must be taught
Latin. 1t rarely happens that
Latin gets into type correctly, and
we are glad of it. 1t should not be
used in this age. English is ex-
pressive enough, and every quota
tion can be translated into it. Pro
fessional writer's seldom use Latin
Greek or French, and newspaper
editors never. In these days we
write for the many, not the favored
few Richmond States.

An estimate recently made by the
Bureau of Agriculture on the next
wheat crop shows that the area
thus far sown this year is such as to
justify the belief that the years crop
will be the greatest known in this
country-6O0, 100000 bushels. The
corn crop, it is calculated, will
amount to about q billion and one
third bushels, all of which will bring
gold if the European war continues.

The Editor.

We may have seen many defini-
tions of many names, words and
phrases, but the following of an
editor, given by Josh Billings is
about the best we have ever en-
couEtered:
An editor is a mule whose bust
ness is to investigate a newspaper.
He writes editorials, grinds out poe
try, inserts deaths and weddings,
sorts manuscripts, keeps waste
basket, blows up the ''devil," steals
matter, fites other peoples battles,
sells his paper for two dollars a
year, takes white beans and apple
sass for pay when he can get 1t,
raises a large family, works nine
teen hours out of twenty-four,
knows no Sunday, gets damned by
everybody, lives poor, dies middle
aged and often broken hearted.
leaves no money, Is rewarded for
life of toll by short but free obit-
uary puff in the newspapers.

THE ONLY REMEDY.

To provide against such a result
but one method exists, and that is
the construction of q competing
line to the Pacific on the shorter
and better route along the line OF
the sd parallel. As the Texas &
Pacific bill for the construction OF
such a road requires no subsidy of
money, loans or lands, and thor
oughly secures the government for
the guarantee of interest on the
Company's construction bonds, the
tide of sentiment both in and out of
Congress sets strongly in favor of
this measure. AS such a road pro-
hiblted from com animation, discrimi-
nation or extortion, with its tariff
of charges under the control of
Congress, would not only save the
country from the curse of a perpet
ual monopoly, but supply the ma
tional and imperative necessity of a
line of railway to the Pacific through
the Southwest, and at the same
time revive the languishing indus
tries of the country, it is confident
ly believed that the measure will be
consummated before the summer
solstlce. With such a road, and the
Mississippi open to- the sea, the
great Southwest will fairly leap for
ward in the career of settlement and
prosperity. j. l.. L.

There is a good deal of absurd
talk in some of the papers about
electing slow tax Legislature"
and slow tax Governor" Now,
suppose 1t is done in both instances
what will it amount to? Does any
sane person believe for a moment
that under such circumstance the
bondholders would tender a com
promise of any sort? No PROPOSE
tion being rendered, what then
would the low tax Legislature do
about the State debt? What could
it do2 Simply, nothing, but to
leave the debt where they found it,
leave it open for two years more,
with its continually accommodating
interest at the rate of four thou
sand dollars a day. There never
was more transparent humbug
than this playing upon the preju-
dices and the necessities of the peo-
pie by bowling slow taxi and "high
tax" and if the masses are wise
they will avoid the parties who
make it as they would a lazzaretto
or the pestilence that walketh in
darkness and slayeth at MONDAY,
and elect men, not because they are
"high tax" or Glow tax" but who
are capable of taking fair and
equitable view of the situation and
with honesty and moral manhood
enough to do what their Judgment
and conscience tell them is right
A Legislature largely composed of
this kind of material will have little
difficulty in adjusting the State debt
without ignoring the creditor alto
gether or oppressively burdening
the debtor; while the other sort
will still further complicate matters
and make confusion worse con-
founded.-Athens Post.

nothing about owning one. We

get out of making a full hand at

bond or a niger, and we can say
that we have no great hangering
after either at present writing. The

ting the bonds, so we will have 20
