THE Council last night found out
its mind about levying q special
tax to purchase the Bellevue Ter
race for Normal School, and IL
has determined that it would be
straining its powers to take action
in the matter. This is doubtless q
conscientious conclusion, and we
are not warranted in quarreling
with that body as to that. What
we had a right to expect, however,
was prompt action in the premises.
Instead Of that we have been
treated to dilIy.dallying and shilly-
shallying. II the Council had at
once told our citizens that il they
wanted Bellevue Terrace as the
site they must 60 to work and buy
it, the task of soliciting subscrip-
tions would have been energized.
In the absence Of any exact fig
ures we are disposed to think that
1.-The raising Of $4,000 by voluntary
subscriptions is apt to prove q her
culean job, owing to various
causes. We find that many of
our citizens do not think the Ter.
race worth $4,000, in which we
think they are wrong. and
still others think that when re-
ally princely donations. like that
on Boyle Heights, at Pasadena, at
Santa Monica and on the Laguna
ranch, can be had for nothing,
some one OF them should be &C.
cepted, and there we think they
arc right. There is growing force
in this view of the matter; and, in
fluenced by this or some other lea
son, many of our "solid" men de.
cline to subscribe. One thing is
certain, decisive action Of some
kind should be taken Immediately.
1t speaks poorly for our people that
nearly q month after the Trustees
of the State Normal School have
discharged tho duty entrusted to
them of selecting site, a deed for
the land, or some satisfactory
ground, has not been signed, seal
ed and delivered.

Last week Pleas Harper, q colored
farmer living near Glade, paid Messrs.
Powell Il Davenport $4,000 for 210
acres of land, lying on Broad river, in
this county. This is one Of the largest
purchases ever made by a negro in
Georgia, and it occasioned a good deal
of comment. We last Sunday saw Mr..
Powell and asked if there was any

But do you think he is competent

Nearly three hundred gas cooking
stoves have been placed in operation
during the past six months in Bir.
mingham, England, and there is more
or less progress in the same direction
in other British cities and towns.
One reason why the experiment is
attended with so much success in
Birmingham is that the gas there is
cheaper than in some ether parts Of
the kingdom. The argument is ad-
vanced that if gas could be substi
tuted for coal in London, enc good
result would be to materially improve
the atmosphere Of the British Retrop-
oils.

Trenton IN. J.l State Gazette.l
The Fashion Stud Farm, situated
about a mile and a half east of thi.
city, on the State street road and op.
posite the coaling station of the Penn
sylvania railroad, it is believed has
not an equal in this country. 1t was
purchased about ten years ago by the
well known horsemen, Budd Doble
and Charles IL. Kerner, for H.. N.
Smith, the prominent New York
banker, and was not visited by the
latter till nearly a year after it be-
came his property. Since that time
contiguous lands have been purchased
by Mr.. Smith, until his farm now
contains something over three hun
dred aud sixty. five acres, nearly all Of
which is under the highest condition
Of cultivation, and through which 1uns
a never failing stream OF water. 1t
was not at first Mr.. Smiths purpose
to establish an extensive stock farm ;
but, owing to the celebrated Gold
smith Maid and other fine blooded
horses, he bought the farm on which
to keep and breed them. Becoming
more and more infatuated with stock
raising and breeding, Mr.. Smith has
increased his stables and improved the
establishment until they now rerre
sent a moneyed value of about half a
million dollars, his horses alone being
valued at three hundred thousand
dollars. With the single exception Of
Robert Bonner, Mr.. Smith has proba-
bly, spent more money for horses than
any man in the United States.

went to the frontier to see a friend.
The family consisted of the husband
his wife and two grown sons. Sitting
by the fire a few minutes, the old man
tipped him a wink, and the visitor
followed him out. Stopping BY a tree,
he pulled out a long-neckod bottle,
remarking, 81 have to keep it hid, for
the boys might get to drinking, and
the old woman would raise the duce."
They took a drink and returned to
the Preside. Soon Tom, the elder
son, asked the visitor out to see a colt,
and taking him behind the barn pulled
out a flask, remarking, 81 have to
keep this hid from the old man, for
he will get drunk and the deuce is to
pay and they both took a drink and

Soon Bob stepped on the visitor s
toes and walked Oh, the visitor follow

Bob drew out a good sized bottle, re-
marking. "You know the old man and
Tom will get drunk, and l have to
hide this"
Returning again to the house, they
sat down for a few minutes, when the
men folks went out to do up their
chores.
They had no sooner departed than
the good woman disappeared into the
pantry, from which she presently re-.
turned with a small flask odorous of
