Fatal ArFRAy IN ArIANTA.-Col.
Robert A. Aleton. o. native of South
Caroline, but for years a resident of
Georgia, and q member Of the
present Legislature, was killed in
an affray in Atlanta on Tuesday by
Capt. p. S. Cox. Alston fired three
shots and Cox two. Alstop was
shot in the right temple, the ball
passing through his brain. Cox
was shot IN the mouth and through
the left hand. Alston is dead, but Cox
is not seriously hurt. The difficulty
arose from Alston's having power
of attorney from Senator Gordon
to sell tho latter's interest in tho
State convict lease. Cox is subs
lessee under Gordon, and wanted
Alston 10 sell Gordon's interest to
Walters, who had promised to buy
Cox out. Alston sold to another
person. Cox threatened Alston at
noon that ho would kill him before
sundown If the trade was not cam
celled and made with his man. He
hunted Alston down. Governor
Colquitt and others having detained
'Alston at the capitol tho quarrel
was renewed, and both drew thoir
pistols with the result above stated.

Probable Losses and Gains In tho Diff
ferent States.

Some of the most Intelligent of
tho Washington correspondence
have been figuring out how the next
census will probably affect the rep
resentation in Congress. Should
the basis not be changed there
would DO an increase of sixty six
members Of the House, but it is
reasonably certain that tho basis
will be changed. That, however,
would mako no difference in the
relative increased strength of the
States in the House, and so the fig:
uring is done on the present basis.
Eleveu States-Colorado, Connecti-
cut, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana,
Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, South. Carolina and
Vermont-get no increase. The
largest relative increase appears in
Kansas, whose delegation will be
increased to seven, it being three !;
California increases from four to
seven, and Texas adds four to the
Six already given her. Alabama,
Georgia, kentucky, Maryland, Mas
sachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey,
Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia and
West Virginia gain one each Ar .
kansas and Nebraska gain two each
Indiana and Minnesota will have
each three additional Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsyl.
vania and Wisconsin get an increase
of four each, while New Yorks dele.
CATION is augmented by five. BY
geographical divisions, the New
England States gain one momber,
the Middle States ten, tho Western
thirty'two, the Southern nineteen
and the Pucitic States four, Or an
aggregate of forty seven to the
North and nineteen to the South.

THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY.
Tuesday, July I5. 1879.
A Model Confession.

Several years ago, in Western town,
young lawyer, member OF large
church, got drunk. The brethren said
he must confess; he demurred. He
knew the members to be good people,
but they had their little faults, such as
driving sharp bargains, screwing the la
borer down to low wages, loaning mon
ey at illegal rates, misrepresenting arti-
cles they had for sale, etc. But they
were good people, and pressed the law
yer to come before the church meeting
and own up his sin of taking a glass
too much. for they were temperance
people and abhorred intemperance. The
sinner finally went to the confession,
found large gathering of brethren and
sisters, whose bowed heads rose and
whose eyes glistened with pure delight
as the lawyer began his confession. 81
confess he said, 'sthat | never took ten
per cent. for money" On that confes-
sion down went brothers head with q
groan. 81 never turned poor man
from my door who needed food and
shelter" Down went another head. 81
confess that / never sold skim milk
cheese for new one" Whereupon a
woman shrieked for mercy Il confess
that have not been Pharisaical and sell
righteous, and have not sought to injure
or persccute those who have not hap
pened to agree with me, when down
dropped numerous heads. aI confess
that have never played the hypocrite.
and / do not lie, and that l have not
used religion.as cloak,p when down
went other heads, and among them the
heads of the very ones who were SO
anxious that he should confess. "But,"
continued the sinner, 81 haveheen drunk
and am very sorry for it." Whereupon
the meeting quietly dispersed.

How to swim.

The editor of the London Truth, after
observing that probably not one in twen-
: ty OF hepersons who indulge in boating
on holiday can swim, proceeds to tell
bis. readers how to acquire this accom-
plishment. Nothing. be says, .is more
easy. When the air is out Of body its
owner floats. Let any one slowly draw
in his breath as be draws back his legs
and pushes forward his arms, re-
tain it while he is preparing for the
stroke which is to propel him, and slow
ly allow it to go through his lips as his
arms are passed back from before his
head to his sides and his legs are stretch
ed out The action of the stroke should
not be quite horizontal, but should be
made on shortineline downward The
real reason why people take weeks to
learn how to swim is because swimming
professors either do not know, or do mol
care to teach, the philosophy of breath
ing, so as to render the body buoyant. !

BILE swimmer in an hour, unless he be Q

successful Treatment of Neuralgia

DIR. Ebrard, OF Mines, France, states
that he has for many years treated all
his cases of sciatica and neuralgia pains
with an improvised electric apparatus,
consisting merely OF fatiron and vine
gar, two things that will be found in ey-
cry house. The iron is heated until suf-
ificiently hot to vaporize the vinegar, and
is then covered with some wooden fabric,
which is moistened with vinegar, and
the apparatus is applied at once to the
painful spot The application may be
repeated two or three times day. AS
rule, the pain disappears in twenty
four hours, and recovery ensues at once.
