Call the Next Case, Sir"

Forty years ago Eatonton was a fast
town. Gambling of all kinds, cock
fighting and horse racing was the rule
as it is the exception now. Why, sir,
at one term of the court-1046 or 1S47
the grand jury returned one true bill
against forty persons, John W. Ashurer,
solicitor general and number of pro-
minent lawyers including, in one batch
for gambling. 1t was in this case that
it is said Judge Cone made himself
famous When the case was reached
all of the defendants arose and plead
ed guilty. Judge Cone fined each of
them $40 and casts and lectured them
severely upon the uselessness and i'm
morality of such habits and the vicious
example which they were setting for
the youth Of the country; then COM
manding the defendants to take their
seats, with solemn face, but a merry
twinkle in his eye, he turned to the
clerk and said: Now, Mr.. Clerk,
enter after these cases, State of Georgia
VS.. Judge Cone: gaming special in
formation by his honor-pl, AIDED gull

that America is now exporting large
quantities of whisky to England. If
so, God help England. In Russia,
the common people drink enormous
quantities of strong beer. The nobil-

The government has recently appoint

of national reformation. But one
dram shop is to be allowed in each viii
lage, and where two towns are in close
proximity one shop must do for both.
At present, 100000 gallons of wine
and brandy are annually consumed
in Russia. Hollanders drink gin and
beer. Germans use beer and wine as
beverages. In 1878 official reports
show that there were 1900 breweries
in the German speaking countries,

Now. I am going to offer some advice OF
course will get no thanks for it. I rarely
do. Even this city, which have discussed
here, and propose to picture in thissketch ex-
actly, may possibly be impatient with me for
my work. Yet I see she is even now tearing
down the fences from around her parks aud
giving them to the people, just as I told her
to last summer. Good! but she would not adj
NIT my hand in the matter. And no matter.
No matter who tears down these ugly and
insolent fences all over the republic, only so
that it is done. The advice? All, it is this:
take up your cobble stones, widen your
streets, you have land enough, room enough
now, more than you will have century
hence when it Will be impossible. And when
you have carried off your cobble stones and
widened your streets, then plant them in
trees as Washington City has; and pave them
with asphalt as Washington City has; and
finally, if you possibly can raise to the spirit
of it, build a few bright. airy, elegant and
Pompeian-hued houses, such as nov charm,
invite, instruct, inspire strangers at Wash
ington City. And all, above al, do in pity,
take up that kneeling posture, that mute and
almost motionless maiden, streaming her two
perpetual streams Of soapsuds from your
beautiful and tomblike marble doorsteps.

II. N. Matthews in Toledo Blade.1
There stands the cid station house out in the
rain,
A stones throw away from the door,
With its wind-beaten wall and its weather
racked pane,
And its rickety, rat-haunted floor;
Its sashes are scanned and its lintels are gashed
With the Jack-knives of twenty long years,
And the caves where the wings of the sWal-
low once flashed
Are touched with the kinship of tears.
Old home! it looms up like a ghost in the
gale,
And gibbers and groans in the blast
And speaks with weird and a weariless
wall,
OF the dim, irrepealable past.
On the old dingy platform that girdles it
round,
The wealth of the prairie once poured;
And daily the carriage of commerce came
With the wares Of the merchant aboard.
Twas here where our brothers went off to the
wars,
We blessed them and babe them adieu;
And we welcomed them here, meath a banner
of stars,
When the terrible conflict was through;
And here where the bare-footed boys are at
play
The war t1nnpets Numbered of yore-
And here came the collins in CHASTITY array,
OF the dear soldier dead to our door.
Twas here the young bride, in her beauty
and bloom,
To her cheek felt the parting kiss prest;
And here beat with rapture the heart of the
groom,
As he Graded her form on his breast;
And here in his squalor the mendicant crept,
10 shelter himself from the blast,
In the merciless midnight, and dreamed as he
slept
Of the happier days of the past
And here came the message, more fleet than
the dove,
Ger the wandering, wavering wire,
That filled US with grief, or thrilled us with
love,
AS we peacefully sat round the fire;
All the old station housed it WI. on tum-
BILE down,
Its timbers are crumbling away,
but Its record is writ on the heart Of the
town,
And its glory abideth for aye.
