WASHINGTON, February "a President
Arthur to-day cut the string holding the
axe which has been over Andy Clarke IS
head for some time. He nominated W. H.
johnson TO be Internal Revenue Collector
at Atlanta. Longstreet and Atkins are iubi
lant over the Presidents action. Farrow,
who has for years had fight with Andy
Clarke, is wild with joy.
Nothing in the case of Collector Wade
was done to-day. 1t can, however. be stated
that he will also have to go. In speaking
about Wade, Secretary Folger to-day said
a decision In his case "was still in the
clouds"
There are other Georgia matters which
have been determined on. Mr.. Holden,
who is neighbor of Hon. Alexander H.
Stephens, and who was the first candidate
for the place, will be made Postmaster at
Augusta. Mr.. Sciedel. who is Mr. Steohens'
private secretary, will be appointed Collec-
tor of Customs at Brunswick.
While the Clarke Bryant crowd thought
that they might not be fully able to con-
vince the administration that they composed
the Republican party in Georgia, they were
not at all prepared for the drop that they
have been given. That the old crowd must

A Paducah special Of the 21st, to the Coas-
rier-JouTaeaI, says;
"This morning about O'Clock q ter
rible gale passed over the city, which for a
time threatened destruction to all the water
craft In port. During the storm a iatboat
with cabin, which was lying at the foot of
Harrison street, GU which there was three
women of bad repute-Jennie Brown, Car
rie Smithers and Sallie Williams-and Jim
Murray, white. and Henry Cox ,colored, was
blown from lis mo0rings into the rough
waves. The screams of the women were
fearful and aroused all the people In that.
portion of the town. A boy named Dade
Little, lately from Louisville, went out
in a skiH to their assistance. The little
steamer q. N. Davis was passing at the time,
but the wind was blowing a gale and she
could not render any assistance except at
the risk Of being swamped. Some Of the
passengers on the Davis say they saw what
appeared to be a skiH upside down with
women cliDging to it screaming. The proba.
bility is that the boy reached the boat with
the skiH and that in getting into it she was
capsized. The Captain of the Davis notified
the people at the wharf boat as soon as he
arrived, and Capt. Phillips took his tug Ida
and hurried to the spot, but could not see
or hear anything OF the unforlunates. He
then proceeded down as far as Metropolis
and turned back, and searched for them In
the rain till Paducah was reached. The
boat was rickety affair, and no doubt went
to pieces In the storm drowning the whole
party"

LIFE AND DEATH.

Two tired feet falt'ring o'er a stony road,
Two eyes forever dim with bitter tears,
Two hands Oppressed by Pains unceasing load
A heart forever stirred by anxious fears.
a weary time of longings unfulflled
A dreary space of bitterness and strife,
A restless yearning never softly stilled,
And this is life
Two quiet feet for evermore at rest,
Two eyes by weary lids closed TO all tears,
Two empty hands crossed o'er a pulseless
breast,
A heart serenely free from doubts and fears:
The glad content Of hopes at last fulfilled,
The tender utt'rance of a voice which saith,
Within my shelt'ring arms all fears are
still'd,"
And this is Death
