EEORGIA POLITICS.

The aspect of political affairs in Geor-
gia is, just now, a little mixed. The
Georgia politicians, themselves, are not
certain that they understand the situa-
ton.
Unless the mishap to ALIEN. II.
STEPHENS, occurring at the capital the
other day, should prevent, he is con-
sidered fairly in the field as a candidate
for Governor. He is expected to be the
candidate of the FusioniSts, opposed to
the Democratic party; and then again
he is also spoken of as the possible nom-
inee of the Democrats; and still again
as the nominee of all parties in the
State.
From the Democratic papers 1t IS
pretty plain that they do not want Mr..
STEPHENS, and especially do not want
him in partnership with the factions
which are trying to make coalition
against the Democratic party. The
Democrats rightly think they have a
claim upon Mr.. STEPHENS, but they
won't press their claim except upon a
straightout Democratic platform. Mr..
STEPHENS may Overestimate his
strength and influence if he runs upon
any other platform, and is in danger OF
closing his public life under the cloud of
popular defeat.
The flsiOnists or Independents do not
seem to know exactly what they want
or to be very closely united. One of
them has abandoned the movement be-
cause, as he says, the contest in that
State ''is narrowing down to Bourbon
ism on one hand and negroism on the
other,n and of these two evils he regards
Bourbonism as the lesser. He says if
the "Arthur party succeeds it will re-
district the State 10 suit itself, with =

LOCAL INTEREST IN a SUMNER RE-
SORT.

The question of going to summer
resort, which usually agitates people at
this season of the year, is not looming
up with its customary importance this
spring.
Nevertheless K is being discussed in a
quiet way, and few days of summer
weather, which is, doubtless, very near
at hand, will give zest to the subject and
lead to the formation of definite arrange
mentS.
Wheeling people are disposed to re-
gard the new Mountain Lake Park
resort on the mountains as a home in
stitution in which they have special
property, as the association was organ
lied in this city, and its chief officers
and owners are residents Of this city. \
very large number of our people will,
therefore, make it their headquarters
for the summer.
We understand that there will be at
least an hundred cottages built this
spring, some of which are already near
~ completed. y large hotel is in process
of erection; the grounds are laid out;
beautiful lake will be made; and for the
first year Ofsuch an institution, itprom-
ises to be quite an attractive place.
The Association is arranging pro-
gramme of entertainments which will
greatly add to the natural advantages
of an exhilerating atmosphere, the cool
shade of the forests and the choice social
surroundings of the place. They will
open on the 18th of July with appropriate
exercises, and during the season,
beside the special camp-meeting
exercises, there will be lectures by dis
tinguished men from various sections of
the country. We notice that the eXeeu-
committee Of the c. V. 5. s. Assembly,
meeting at Harrisburg, the other day,
unanimously agreed to hold its annual
session this year at Mountain Lake
Park, and appointed n committee on
lecture course, consisting Of the follow
ing well known persons: H. r. MOSSER,
w. NJ. FRYSINGER, j. y. AMMIDON, c.
Il. MESSY, and :. Il. BARNITZ. This
and like features of the season ut this
resort will attract great many visitors,
and Wheeling people are not likely To
find themselves lonely or in exclusive
possession of the grounds this summer.

THE PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION.

The Pennsylvania Republicans car
ried out the chief part of their "harmO-
nious" programme at Harrisburg, yes
terday, in nominating Gen. BEAVER
for Governor.
Harmony i'm the other proceedings
was a secondary consideration. Boss
CAMERON could We'll afford to throw in
the Judge and some of the minor offices
on the ticket, and even allow the indie
pendents to make platform, as con-
ceSSion to harmony, and still get all he
cares for in preparation for a renewed
control the organization Ofthe party,
looking to his own reelection in 1885.
The Governor of Pennsylvania has at
his disposal greater amount of valu-
able patronage than any other executive
in the Union. He appoints the Seere-
tary of State, the Attorney General, the
Adjutant General, and all the general
officers of the militia, the Commissioner
of Insurance., the State Librarian, the
Superintendent of Public Printing and
Public Buildings, and Il large number Of
public boards and commissions. These,
with their subOrdinates, are valuable
auxiliarics in creating and managing
the State machine.
The Governor elected this year will
hold his office until 1856. Next year
the Auditor General and State Treasur-
er are the only State officers to be elect
ed. and in the Presidential year none
are to be chosen. So that with the
power placed in his hands this year,
Boss CAMERON can afford to play at re-
form next year, and to give the indie
pendents as beautiful platform Of
principles as they care to draft.
1t is understood that the President is
also in harmony with the harmonious
arrangement, and will hack it up with
a discriminating share of the Federal
offices. But it is already apparent that
the Independents are not pleased with
their share of the harmony.

"American Politics -Partisanl
from the Beginning to Date" is the IT,
tie OF the new work written and COM
piled by Hon. Thomas V. Cooper and
Hector II. Fenton, Esq, and published
by the "Fireside Publishing Company"
No. 20 North Seventh street, Philadel-
phia. A handsomely bound copy IS
now on our table, and it has all the APP
pearance of the very finest encyclopedia
cal publications, save that in "Amerl-
can Politics" the type is larger, Bour-
geoise style, plain To the eye, ana set In
double columns. Senator Cooper, the
leading author of the work, Is one OF the
best known Legislators of Pennsylvania,
having been elected for terms covering
IA years, is now chairman OF his party's
State Committee, and IS therefore
thoroughly booked and competent for
the work undertaken.
IL is no eXaggeratiOn to say that
American Politics" is the most COM
prehensive and instructive political
work ever published in this country.

miles Register (which now brings at
public sale $50 was but running pc
riOdical review of the doings of Con-
gress, while CoOper's american Poll
tics" covers the history of all political
parties from the beginning of parties in
this country until nor. Even the final
action on the Chinese and POlygamy
questions are fully stated, and the best
selections made from the opposing
speeches of Senators Miller, Hoar, Jones,
Vest, etc.
Not only is the history of all parties
presented in an attractive form, but
wherever and whenever any of these
parties stood in hostile array on any
great issue, they are kept in that rela-
ton throughout their life or the life of
the issue, the views of their greatest
leaders given and their records faithfully
shown.
Such history has never before been
given; indeed, no history of the political
parties of this country has ever before
been written, and Senator Cooper struck
a new and most practical idea when he
undertook the work. 1t fills hole in
our literature, and a very transparent
one, now that public thought has been
directed to it, and it fills it so complete
~ that no Just complaint can be made.

DR.. STARK has been compiling some
statistics and life tables which We rec
ommend as good reading to bachelors.
The Doctor shuts out from his table the
children, and begins his tables with the
age of twenty years. He shows that the
man who passes his life from that age
as a married man is likely to live twice
as long as if he lived in celibacy. He
finds from a great mass of statistics that
married men reach the age of sixty and
seven-tenths years, and the unmarried
only forty and two-tenths. His figures
are not so favorable for women, but not
outstanding all the dangers with which
they meet, life is prolonged by marriage.
Ifthe Doctors figures are correct, mar
riage is about the best insurance COM
pany yet organized, from the fact that
it gives every day dividends of happi-
ness and adds over nineteen years to
every investors life. WecOmmend the
facts to easy-going bachelors.

rains, while doing some damage, and
interfering with farm work throughout
many portions of the West, completely
drowned out and destroyed the chinch

some localities, threatened to destroy
the growing wheat crop. The prospect
for a good wheat harvest is, on the

Underground Telegraph Wires.

The growing. necessity for placing
telegraph wires underground in
cities, is eliciting much discussion
in regard to some cheap and yet de-
sirable method of insulating the
wires. A new material has recently
been brought to the attention of the
public, which is said to be only about
one-sixth the weight of iron. 1t is
composed almost wholly of pure
carbon, in what form is not stated.
and SO is indestructible; does not
rust nor change by exposure, wheth-
er in the air or underground, and is
rot affected by frost. But the chief
virtue claimed for it in connection
with underground wires is that it is
perfect insulator Ii is said, too,
that the pipes need not be buried
very deep in the earth, as they may
be Of a semi-elastic character, adj
jnsting themselves to the slight up-
heaval aud depression of the ground

THE WORTH OF LIFE.

Prof David Swing, of Chicago,
preached recently upon the "Worth
of life" In closing his sermon he
said: eff the grave is the end, then
the march of man, Other wise made
with flying banners, and with rich
caparison, and with victories assured
for tomorrow, becomes funeral
march before we have journeyed far
from our childhood home; and in all
the last years the flags must be furled
and their stats pointed downward,
and the music must be hushed in
muffied drums. Follow education
and law and powerful will and
lofty ideals as our youth may, many
of them die in cary life, and many
live long, only to fail of Gnding any
where the smile of their Father in
Heaven IF We must limit this hui
man experiment TO this brief earth,
then our logic fails, and our eloquence
must turn into lamentation, to end
with the sad words: He is dead.
Given such a sudden termination of
the human career. and all logic and
rhetoric fail. The lips of preacher
and orator and thinker, the aspira-
tions and hopes Of man, grow silent
in anticipation of that perpetual
silence just at hand"

things that people say about new
babies, and at last in a spasm OF
originality, remarked that, ''the

Then they all sat and looked at the

wrinkled countenance of the uncon-

the baby had it naturally, then, as it
required about fifteen years steady
practise and the cooperation of three
scientific clubs and five political
campaigns to acquire it, Then a
sad quiet stole over the room again
only broken by hard breathing
from the baby's father, looking at
the thermometer to see what time
it was, while Mr.. Blanket, feeling
that he could add nothing to what
had already been said, stole down
stairs, softly whispering about some
fool, but the company could not
catch the name and didn't know
