IT speaks well for the activity and bus
mess of southern cotton mills that the
three hundred operatives recently thrown
out of employment in Atlanta by the cessa-
ton of night work, have all found employ
ment without difficulty in neighboring
southern states-their expenses being paid
to different points by mills needing their
services This looks as if the mills were
booming, and labor were in demand.

The Little Election.

The ''Little Election" of last Tuesday
presented the phenominal feature ofplcasing
both of the Political Parties. The Republi-
cans claim that it proguosticates grand
triumph for EN- in the November Election
and on the other side the tradition Dem
ocratic Rooster came to the front with glad
aturial airs. May be both parties will win
and may be they will not.
This mach we must say that the leaders of
the respective Parties manifested altogether
too mneh zeal to get control of the returning
board of this County.
Their action simply meant this, in case OF
q closely contested Election the party having
the control of the returning board would
manipulate the returns in defiance of the
people. We are Of those who believe III q
fair vote and an honest count-and the Party
who would defy the people deserves an over
whelming defeat.

crowded more of work and valued public

This event called forth universal and un-
feigned expressions of sorrow Throughout the

was thus expressed, and perhaps nowhere

large mind, hospitable reception and cour-

principle or conviction, and yet incurring no

The gure Of an 5tpuest Alan.

There's many thing that the maidens wish
As they journey along in life,
As they take their part in the busy world,
And share in its cares and strife;
Perhaps they wish for eozy house,
With furniture spick and span
But to crown the whole they care the most
For the love of an honest man.
Yes, pretty maiden, where'er you are,
In palace or humble cot,
Whether your life is fair and bright,
Or trial and toll your lot
Whether your name is Flora May,
Or homely Mary Ann,
You will be in luck if you win that love
The love of an honest man.
Oh, a maiden may prize her diamond set,
Or dresses of latest style:
Or inhabit house of costly build,
With carpets of velvet pile:
But the greatest blessing to woman's life
Let her gain it while now she can-
From her golden locks, to her silver hairs,
Is the love ofan honest man.

Who Killed John Nelson7

In the vagueness and indefiniteness Of the
Coroners finding in the case of Nelson the
pertinent question is, who killed this
man?
The Mayor, who is also Physician i'll ac-
tive practice, saw Nelson few hours prior
to his death and failed to observe any of the
SYMPTOMS which are due to the common poi
sons, such as Aconite Arsenic Strychnine
OF Opium; and the Autopsy did not disclose
any ''organic LESSONS" sufficiently marked as
nses. deos', yet tehsss''sasn died.
And why did he diep Certainly not from
the common poisons-and it is equally GER
tain, taking the result of the Post Mortem
as our criterion, that he did not die from
any of the acute diseases. The concurrent
testimony was, that he was found in an in
toxcated condition-and the Morning News
only few days since, showed by the analysis
of a competent chemist, that groceries all
over this city were selling as substitute
for whskey, a compound that contained
poison as deadly as Strychnine; put this and
that together and you have an important
and probably direct clue to the death of
John Nelson.
| Men do not die except from well assigned
causes; and that there was subtle and in
siduous agency at work in the case of this
unfortunate man there can be no doubt
aud we believe that the name of this agent
was Picrotoxin-and further we do not hesi-
tate to declare that the man who sold him
this poisonous decotion was his murderer.
John Nelson was stranger in this city-he
that should net be any reason why he should
be murdered upon our streets.
The city officials cannot plead ignorance in
extenuation of their indifference as to what
is being dosed out by the vile and low grog-
shobs of this city for the enterprise of the
Morning News demonstrated and showed be-
yond cavil that ''certain shops" were deal
ing out ''delirum tremens" and death to
their customers and they had it labelled
whiskey.
We are no apologist for the man who in
dulges in Intoxicating drinks, yet whiskey
is an innocent and harmless beverage when
compared with the Picrotoxin Com
pound.
If groceryman should adulterate his sri-
gars and flour with arsenic so as to add to
his pecuniary advantage he would be lynch.

article inst as poisonous as Arsenic is in com

An Injurious Practice.

The practice of keeping children after
school hours, as a punishment, has nothing
to recommend it, Pretty nearly every
school house in the land is thus turned into
pententiary III which children are immur-
ed every day, some of them for imperfect
rectations or for faults Of department. This
method Of punishment might, if the teachers
We're al indicinus, be escorted to occasional

iudicious, and thousands Of children are
thus detained every day to whom the deten-
ton is serious injury, and grave injustice
For some trihing breach of order, like turn
ing in seat or dropping pencil, for some
failure in recitation or "A similar trifle which
can scarcely be called fault at ALL the
children are shut up in the school houses,
sometimes during the intermission, often
after the close OF school. Thousands of
children in health, to whom the school hours
are too long, are permanently injured by this
system of confinement. 1t should be abol-

Harper's Magazine for February is = strong
number both in the literary and the artistic
sense. Beginning with an excellent portrait
of Victor Hugo, which serves as frontispisce,
we have next an interesting description OF
Philadelphia, by George P. Lathrop, besuti-
fully illustrated. The authors clever delinea-
tion of the social features of the city, and OF
such old institutions as the Saturday Club and
the Assembly, are very entertaining; and not
less so are his personal sketches OF eminent
Philadelphians, and his account Of the athlstic
sports and pastimes of this old Quaker town.
Another paper of merit is Mr.. W. Fl. Bishops
Commercial, Social and Political Mexico, also
illustrated. 1t contains, moreover, novel and
valuable information as to Mexican industry,
education, literature and art. Mrs. Anna
Bowman Blake's personal sketches OF French
Political Leaders Ne entertaining; and Mr..
Reinhart's characteristic drawings add greatly
to the readers interest in the subject. Mr.
Joseph Hatton contributes paper entitled
Henry Irving at Home, a large portion Of
which is made up of Mr.. Irving's own recital
of interesting incidents and phases of his his
trionic career. The article is illustrated by an
impressive portrait drawn by T. Barnard, and
by E. A. Abbey's drawings-The Armory Of
the Lyceum Theatre and A Corner in the
Beefsteak Club Room. In The American
Life-Saving Service, Mrs. Martha j. Lamb,
besides giving clear description Of the meth
DDS of life-saving, has illustrated the peculiar
perils of the service with stories Of the most
remarkable shipwrecks of recent years. Miss

count of the work accomplished by the Wilson

from four drawings by Jessie Curtis Shepherd.
Prof. John Fiske contributes paper entitled
