FLASHES FROM ATLANTA.
LEGISLATIVE PROC CEEDINGs.
The Cole Charter Passed Bills
Signed by the GOvernOr-COnfia-
grafton fu COvIngton.

ATLANTA, GA, August 31--In the House,
a motion to reconsider the bill lost yester-
day to allow physicians to keep drug stores
without license from the Medical Board,
was carried. The House refused to recon
slider the bill regulating the pay Of school
teachers by grade.
The entire morning session was devoted
to discussion of the bill to pay certain past
due bonds signed by Gov. Mcdonald.
Messrs. Lamar, Hutchins, Miller and Gar
rard favored the bill, and Messrs. Render,
Miner and Hammond opposed it, the latter
making a lengthy and mastery speech. The
bill was lost-nays lis, yeas "a. The after
noon session was devoted to reading bills a
second time. The bill in regard to pur-
chasing seed cotton, which was a special
order, goes over to the morning session for
final action.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
The Senate voted down a motion to recon-
slider its action on the railroad tax bill, de-
feated yesterday-yeas IS, nays %.
The rules were suspended and the House
bill amending the charter of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway was read a
first time and referred.
The special order was the Cole charter.
Mr.. Mcdaniel made a strong and able ar
gument against the track Condemnation
clause, and offered an amendment in regard
to it.
Mr.. Query opposed and Mr. Mcdaniel
favored the amendment, which was rejected
by vote of % yeas to IL nays; and the
bill was passed-Yeas 36, nays 4.
Mr.. Meldrim voted against and Mr.. Nc
Daniel for the DILL.

CHARACTERISTIC ORNAMENTS.

Ornaments have certainly passed beyond the
massive metal or barbarously gorgeous era. A
characteristic or highly hand wrought necklace
pin, ring, clasp or comb is more distinguished
than a mass Of big diamonds, although the
latter should represent fortune. Doubtless
these last would attract attention to the wear
er, but they would also label her as belonging
TO the new and vulgar rich who resorted to this
method Of displaying her wealth.
The desideratum with refined women is the
possession of such characteristic ornaments as
are specialties of different localities and not
easily obtained elsewhere. The coral of
Naples, the silver of Genoa, the cut stones
and crystals of Germany, the mosaics of
Rome, the enamels of Florence, the carved
work and delicate watch mechanism of
Switzerland, and the exquisite manipulation
of fine gems, as seen in Paris. One rare Orna-
ment lasts forever, and is always a badge of
hereditary nobility. 1t proves the possession Of
taste and means and experience of travel
in the generation that owned it, and ap-
probation and intelligence in the generation
which preserves it. One good and real thing
enriched by human skill is worth whole
world of such stuff as is found in most of the
shops Of the Palais Royal. which has been ftly
STYLED the aDotheosis of rubbish.

DAINTY BELONGINGS.

There is no city in the world that has grown
to such rehnements 10 personal belongings and
in the arts of the toilet as Paris, and the actual
status Of a lady or gentleman. and particularly
of lady, is much more clearly exhibited by
her personal habits and surroundings than by

her clothes. There is none of the baroness
even in hotels abroad that we are so apt to find
at home, and the care which in hotels gives
sofa and mantel and toilet drapery, a lavatory
furnished with elegance. a draperied bed and
mirrors in abundance in private life supple
ments all these with dozens of little niceties
all tending toward delicacy and an
exquisite refinement in the care
of the person. There are dainty instruments
fine as jewels, for the care of the nails, the
eyebrows, the teeth, the skin, and even the
ears. Brushes for all uses include dozen,
ivory mounted and incloSed in satin wood satin
lined cases. Perfumed waters are distributed
from crystal TASKS with silver tops, that can
be graded for removal so as to give 1t in guam
tity or drop by drop. Softening creams and
velvety powders are concealed IN priceless III
tie lars Of Indian or old blue China, and gloves
and mouchoirs are kept in cases that commu-
nicate to them an indescribable odor, faint yet
most delightful
The under clothing used in the day time, in
stead of being folded as formerly, custom con
sidered the very pink of neatneSS and order, is
now hung upon the pegs Of tall revolving
stand which occupies very small space IN the
dressing room, and over this is thrown slight
cover of linen, which may be ornamented with
German embroidery or etching. Under cot
ton dress a lady will not unfreQuently wear
silk under clothing, the under wear being much
finer and more daintily trimmed than the out
side. Combs of every description, when not
of ivory, are of tortoise shetland the shells
are the more desirable When lady goes to
her bath over her night dress of batiste she
puts a dressing gown OF pale pink or blue fan
mel, and the mule slippers into which she thrusts
her white feet are satin lined to match. Toilet
covers and draperies are trimmed with
quantities of exquisite lace, and chains,
baskets, hanging baskets. and bird cages
with ribbons and flowers. How it is all kept so
pretty and fresh looking is a mystery, but the
modern French woman gives her mind TO the
care of her body, or at least has succeeded in
developing abundant resources for the accom-
pliShment of her object.

1O:45 A. NJ. Unofficial Bulletin. THE
surgeons regard the Presidents condition
this morning with increased satisfaction
and encouragement. The parotid swelling
has steadily improved in appearance, and 1t
is thought that the patient has in all other
respects gained ground slightly during the
past twenty four hours. He is thus far
having quiet, comfortable day. Among
the members of the Cabinet and the Presi-
dents personal friends there Is a growing
feeling of announcement aud confidence,
and it seems to be the general impression
that by Saturday or Sunday, when the
glandular swelling shall have ceased to be
q hindrsnce, the patient will enter on the
stage of conValescence.
Postmaster General James called at the
Executive Mansion this morning, but upon
receiving bulletis at the door, he said:
ssThat is good enough; I'll go to the depart
ment and 60 to work" }" and he drove away
without coming up stairs.

A Probe for Or. Bliss.

DR.. Bliss wonderful theory that
the ball shot into the Presidents
body did really go through his liv'
er and swept around like little
comet among his intestines, is be-
coming daily exposed to greater
and greater difficulties, Within
two or three days one ofihe attend,
ing surgeons having examined I'M
der the microscope the discharges
from the wound, reports that he
does not find in these discharges
any hepatio or hillary elements
If the liver was wounded such ele-
ments would infallibly be there,
and the not finding them is as near
as anyone can get to demonstra'
ton that the liver was not wounded
DR.. Bliss has only one resource as
to this, SO far as we can see. lie
must declare forthwith that the
very capable aud thoroughly in
structed surgeon who made the eX
animation does not know what he
is about. And now appears anoth
er difficulty. In the discharge
there has come away a piece Q
cloth that the bullet had carriet
before it into the wound. Iha
cloth has come in all probabillt!

Evangelist Moody is endeavor-
ing to make it Sunday all the while
at NorthGeld, Mass, where he and
Evangelists Whittle, Sankey, and
others arc holding three religious
meetings of various kinds every
day. This is not directly a move
ment to convert sinners, but a sum-
mer gathering Of Christian workers
for recreation and improvement.
The clergymen of the region hold
aloof, staying away from all the
services. and discouraging their
people from attending; but the
gatherings are, nevertheless, oI
considerable size, beng composed
