to denounce or make light Of vaccination, as it
has done noble work wherever called into
operation. Here in Atlanta, with probably
thirty thousand human beings liable to take
the smallpox, with the weather damp and
warm, and the disease epidemic in many parts
OF the land, vaccination has brought feeling
of security to thousands who were in dread of
the approach of smallpox There can be an
improper and injurious vaccination but it is
the fault OF the vaccinator and not of the
theory, which must be properly applied.

Precious Stone Found i'm Georgia.
 Atlanta Coz,stit,,tiox,

Near Norcross there resides an old German geologist who loves to live among the peculiar specimens of mineral and vegetable matter which he has unearthed and housed. He is an elderly gentleman of little sociability, but of great mental requirements. His physical endurance is simply astonishing. For days at time he wanders over the hills and through the dales near his home, collecting rocks and stones, limbs and roots. the prop CT ies and qualities of which are unknown to all but himself.
 The room in which his collection is is won- derful. In one receptacle are arranged a number of stones whose bright rays remind the observer of diamonds. In the center of this long room there rests a stone half the size of hen egg, which was picked up by the owner months and months ago. It was found by it's owner one rainy afternoon For nearly a week he had been on a tramp through the hills and dales near his home and, weary with his ceaseless toll, he was vending his way home when his eyes fell upon something from which the rays of the sun were scattered in a thousand directions
 With little thought of what he was doing the geologist stopped down and picked up the object. It was nearly half the size of a hens egg, and of an irregular shape. It was covered in many places with thick, heavy clay, which was removed with great care.
 It was found to be exceedingly hard, and whenever struck with hard substance gave forth but little sound. It was almost color less with hue and then a tinge of green. It's form was that of an octahedron, but some of the faces or sides were inclined to be convex, while the edges were curved.
 It was subjected to acids and alkalies with out experiencing any perceptible change.
 Some friends induced him to place it on the market, and only day or two ago he re- ceived letter from a diamond dealer in New York offering him SAG. .000 for it.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM IN MAINE. The cause of Civil Service Reform is not without it's adherents in Maine, though they have not made themselves very conspicuous One of them, described as 8 gentleman who | has been deservedly honored by being placed l in public station, has written to the Boston upon many people in Maine who have al- I ways voted the Republican ticket by showing grounds-if any exist-for comfortable as-
 surance that by going to the polls in Septem- 1 Der they can do better than indorse what | they disapprove. or stultify themselves by encouraging greenbackism. He adds That the Republican nominees contend earnestly for what John Randolph called ''seven prin- ciples," namely, the perennial issue between the ins and the outs, is plain enough but for
 what principles is not so plain. With very few exceptions they ignore, or sheer at, or misrepresent, or ridicule, civil service re- form, and the leaders accept no advice from the laity unless seasoned with loss or gain of votes. Many of us feel that the party made
 as big blunder as ever Democrats did, in
 not seizing the rare opportunity to declare in
 favor of and work honestly for civil service
 reform.
 The AdUeatiser declares that it sympathizes
 most heartily with its correspondent in his
 indignation at the attitude of many of the Republican leaders in Maine. One of these leaders, it says, has stood up boldly in the Senate of the United States and defended the principle of assessing ffice-holders. ''The methods of mani ipulating caucuses, conven- tions and elections in Maine are not to be de- tended on any honest principle. We have it on such authority that we cannot doubt the fact that vast majority of Maine Republi- cans condemn these methods, chafe at the restraints put on them, object to the nomina- tions made in their name, and would hail de- liverance; but they do not know how to ef-
 feet it. They know that if they were to at
 tempt to wrest the control of the party from
 the hands of the present leaders they could
 do that; but that would not accomplish their
 object. They would merely drive the leaders
 to their tents in fit of sulks.' ,
 This being the case the Advertiser ad-
 vises the Independents of Maine to do this
 year what they have been accustomed to do
 vote the ticket. It points out that the
 good people of Maine have something to re-
 buke which is greater evil than a bad sys- tenn of the civil service. "Rebuke that," it
 says. Keep the State out of the hands of men who will pervert every department to dishonest purposes. Not only vote for the ticket but work for it. Accept and obey the I orders of the leaders, as graciously as may ! be, and be ready for revolt at moments \ notice" AS fusion victory in Maine this year means @ complete overturn of the State government for two years, dishonest ger rymander of the State for the Legislature
 and members of Congress and revolution in the Supreme Court, this is good advice.
