A rival to beer and whisky has arisen in Ire
land. The Gentlemans Magazine, an English
publication, tells curious story of the inven-
ton OF a new intoxicant by the Inhabitants of
a little Irish town. They had been convinced
by Father Matthew OF the evils Of the use OF
whisky and were pledged to temperance. On
an evil day one OF them tasted drink, which
stimulated him without causing him to break
MS pledge, and now indulgence In this beverage
is general. The new intoxicant Is methylated
spirit OF ether, manufactured for lamps and
other everyday purposes, and is cheap and
nasty. Like alcoholic inebriety, the intoxtca.
ton produced by this liquor is characterized nv
quick excitement, flushing of the face. randi
ity Of the pulse, elevation of the mind and
rapid, unsteady motion. 1t is peculiar, how
ever In coming on Immediately, passing almost
at once into its highest stage and quickly SUBJ
siding. Alcohol elings to man, keeps up this
excitement a long time and leaves him de-
pressed and weary. Ether, on the other hand,
IL Is said being rapid In its action, feeby sOlu-
bly, In the blood, quick in being eliminated,
speedily releases its victim, and, without causing
any great strain on his physical powers, leaves
him suddenly sober. II seems TO exalt and
stimulate, but not to infuriate, and consequently
does not urge its victims TO crime Its effects,
therefore, though decidedly injurious, would
appear 10 be less so than those OF alcohol. Fa-
ther Matthew doubtless did not count on the
discovery OF a new way OF getting tipsy as one
OF the results OF his reforma.ory labors.

A correspondent Of the New York Ecening
Post says on the authority OF an eminent Scier-
tine gentleman who is an intimate friend OF
EdiSonS and had just returned from visit to
Menlo Park that the electric light is entirely
ready for introduction into general use, and
that the company is simply Waiting for the
European patents, which the English solicitors

be standing complete in EdSon's workshop. and

strength as gas. The highest estimate OF its
expense makes the cost one-half that OF gas.
Edison is represented as being undisturbed by
the attempt Of the rival company. controlled by
the gas men, to anticipate his light being con-
f1dent OF the superiority OF his invention, and
considering, moreover, that the two companies
will occupy rather different f1elds

II has been suggested that if a reward for the
recovery OF the body of A. T. Stewart was offered
without demanding the punishment OF the
thieves, it would be promptly forthcoming 1t
is to be hoped Mrs. Stewart will do nothing OF
the sort. 1t would afford a frfghuul degree of
encouragement TO villainy of the kind, and
quite certainly the business of rifiing graves
would be entered upon Systematically. The
wretcheS who abduct children. as in the case of
Charley Ross, or steal the bodies OF the dead,
with the idea of compelling a ransom, should be
made to understand that they will get nothing
for their labor but the punishment due the
vilest of criminals. II any weak surrender is
made TO the plotters of these schemes it viii not
be long before we shall have a system of Sicilian
brigandage in operation here. with captives held
in confinement until a ransom is paid

The st. Louis bar association is investigating
the abuses charged against the present Jury
system, with a view to devise some means by
which honest and intelligent men can be Sc
cured for jury service. A report on the subject
has already been made by a committee appoint
ed for the purpose, but it is not believed that
the matter will be permitted to rest at that
stage. The adoption of new jury law is sug-
geSted- The necessity of some change in the
method of choosing jurors or OF selecting the
names from whom the Jurors are taken. by
which an improvement in the chalacter Of the
average juryman may be worked. is as evident
elsewhere as in ST. Louis

The latest solution offered OF the Indian prob

The latest solution offered OF the Indian prob
lem is the transfer of vagrant and misbehaving
bands to the Santa Barbara Islands, Off the coast
of California. They are said to be amply large
enough to hold 10000 indians and to furnish
SllStenance for all OF them after few years. A
small gunbOat or two is to be kept constantly
cruising around these islands, not only to pre-
vent escape, but to prevent traders from sup
plying the exieS or captiyeS with rum and I'M
proved firearms. When the Indians are re-
moved to Santa Barbara they will be about as
Tar west as we can well get them. Ii crowded
further, they must be driven into the ocean.
One may imagine circumstances in which, if
this plan were carried out. it would be unpleas-
ant for the whites on the Santa Barbara Islands.
When the Indians on a reservation cannot get
enough to eat. either through insufficient ap-
preparations, or Interpretations, they go on
buffalo hunt or on the war-path. Their for
meF resource would be denied them when COOP
ed UP on an island, and the latter alternative
would more frequently be reSOrted to. AS they
would be denied the privilege they now enjoy
of marching over thousands of miles On the
mainland. with the army in fun pursuit, their
undivided attention would be bestowed on the
white men dwelling amongst or near them.

A rotten telegraph pole, which fell some time
ago in New York city, killing one woman and
injuring others, has already cost the company
thousands OF dollars as the result of suits for
damages. The appointment OF a special
officer, an Inspector of telegraph poles, might
be suggested to the companies as a measure of
economy

Though unfaltering in the claim that herpo
ulatiOn is greater than that OF Chicago, st.
Louis regretfully comedies that she casts only
about One-half as many votes. Instead Of
weakening In this pitiful way, which will per-
NIT Chicago to crow over her, st. Louis should
point with pride to the fact that her reserve
voting population Is larger than that of any
other western city.

The annual report of General sherman, to
which We give space elsewhere, will attract
attention. The inadequate size of the army
makes its task a hard one: and it may well
be doubted whether, without an increase
in numbers, the duties that have fallen to it
could have been more faithfully performed.
General Sherman's discussion of the Indian
question is OF no little interest.

LESTER AND FELTON,.

The Gainesville Free Press calls
our attention to the fact that although
we gave DIR. FELTON, credit for being
good Congressman we are now try>
ing to defeat him. This is true
enough. The Free Press might also,
with great propriety, have called at
tention to the fact that down to with
in a very few days prior to the as,
sembling Of the Riugold convention,
wo advised DR., FELTON, to allow his
name to go before the convention;
and attention might have been called
to the fact that, although his organs
have persistently made us the sub
iect of abuse (some of this abuse be-
ing prompted by DR.. FELTON, himself)
we have never uttered one word that
could be construed into an attack up
on him. We oppose him because we
do not believe that a true patriot
would wontonIy seek to divide the
Democratic party at time like this,
aad because, although he made good
representative, we believe that Judge
Lester would make a better one.
DR.. FELTON, will regret that he did not
carry on his campaign upon the plan
adopted by the Contribution. Allan

HOW THE PARsoN SPENDS SUN
DAY

On the Sunday after Parson Eel
ton spoke at Cedartown he took a
buggy 10 Rome at 4 o'clock p NJ. for
his home near Gainesville When
he got in the neighborhOod of j. c.
Ewes, he stopped 10 front of the resi-
dence of Rev. Perry Jackson, coll
ored preacher, aud called him out
and commenced electioneering with
him: "You supported me before, and
l expect you to DO your best for me
in this race" etc.
Perry says the Doctor hung his
head and did not look him squarley
in the face, but seemed to be asham>
ed of what be was doing.
1t will be remembered that DR.,
FELTON, had preached sermon that
very morning at Cave Spring, and
Immediately after that sermon took
two of his prominent supporters, one
white and the other aolOred preach
err, off to one side and had private
consultation. These are facts, and
comment is unnecessary

THE Rome Tribune, a FELTON, or
gan, thinks it funny" that the ne
groes have been told that "if they
vote for Lestar they will be put
back into slavery" Its not only
Sunny" but its the truth, as can be
proven, and as the result of such false
teachings, we refer the Tribune to
an article in this issue from "Coxes
District" The very fact that the
FELTON, men have resorted to such
despicable means, is evidence that
they are in desperate strait.

DIR. FELTON, spoke at Sugar Valley
last Friday. The speech abounded
in Shiny abuse against Judge Lester
from beginning to end, and we are
confident won DR.. FELTON, no votes,
as it was plain by the manifestations
that those who were not already
welded to him and his cause were
more disguised than pleased with his
address. At the close of the speech
he was applauded by the FELTON, men
in the crowd, and then yell was
raised for Lester which would have
done the one-armed hero good. Su'
gar Valley has been one of the Eel
ton strongholds, and the complexion
of the crowd at the speaking there is
encouraging to the cause of DemOe-
raey.-CalsOGss ziMes.

DOING JusTIcE.

The Cartersyille Free Press says /:
"Any rumor to the effect that
Judge Lester did not lose his arm in
battle is untrue. He lost it in line
of battle at Perryville--a fact which
can be proven. We are opposed to
misrepresentation in whatever shape
it comes, and we take this opportu
nifty to do justice to Judge Lester
The editor of the Free Press is
right 10 denying in this way the
many false reports in circulation as
to the way in which Judge Lester
lost bis arm, aud the manliness he
exhibits in having courage to deny
them and do justice to an opponent
of DIR. FELTON, is worthy of praise.
Now if the Free Press will only
continue the good work SO nobly be-
gun and say that
Judge Lester never did support
Cole for Congress that
Judge Lester never had anything
to do with lobbying" the railroad
lease through the Legislature ;
that
Judge Lester was elected Com
missioner of immigration By Dem
ocratic Legislature, and was not ap
pointed by Bullock that
DR.. FeIton's charge that Judge
Lester "pocketed five thousand dol
lars of the peoples money" has no
foundation in truth

it promised in its prospectus to be-
an independent journal. Rome Con-
