AndersOnTiIle To-day.

Andersen is the name of station on
the Southwestern Railroad, about sixtv
miles from Macon. 1t is nothing but q
railroad station, and the only thing that
characterizes the spot is the immense
Union cemetery of some twenty acres,
over which floats the star spangled ban.
ner. The cemetery is constructed on
the spot where the prisoners were
buried, and the trenches were dug with
such precision and regularity that the
soldiers were not disturbed, but allowed
to remain as their comrades inferred
them, working under the watchful eve
and fixed bayonets of the Georgia
Home Guard.
The cemetery is surrounded by a
stout wall, with an iron gate, and is
under the supervision of superinten-
dent, who lives on the grounds. It is a
plain spot. There is not much attempt
made TO ornament this city of our
martyred dead. It would take a great
deal Of even such influence as plants
and flowers possess to dispel the melan-
chOly memories that haunt this hill in
the pine woods of Southern Georgia.
There are actually buried on this eleva-
ton 3,715 men. The soldier whose
identity was preserved by his comrades
is marked in his resting place by a
white marble stone rising ten inches
above the ground. A square marble
block with the word unknown" on it
is repeated about 1000 times in the
cemetery.
Part of the stockade is still standing.
There are two rows of trees-one inside
the other. The outer row has fallen
down, save a few posts here and there,
but large part Of the inner wall still
stands. Trees have grown up and
around the cid pen, and thick growth
of underbrush now covers the site of
the prison. No traces of tie famous
brooks that ran through the stockade
remain, nor Of the wonderful we'll dug
by the prisoners. 1t is all now mild
and peaceful section Of the country.
Many Of the soldiers in the cemetery
have handsome headstones lifted to
their memory by friends in the North,
and efforts are frequently made to have
certain graves except green" with flow
ers and shower pot.

John Bright's Love Affair.
London Letter.

The very first question I was asked
to-day was whether it was really true
that Mr.. Bright was going to marry his
deceased wife's sister. The rumor
first reached me at dinner on Thursday,
and to-day it is widely spread among
what are called well.informed persons.
Radicals are greatly dismayed. That
John Bright, toward the conclusion OF
a long and honorable life, should elect
to live in what, by the law of England,
is still held as concubinage, is thought a
stupendOus disaster. Should the alliance
take place it would put a terrible weap-
on into the hands of the Tories, who
will not fail to point out that Mr.. Bright
has confirmed the motto of communism
and revolution-frst disobey the law,
and then get the law ALTERED to condone
your disobedience. This is keenly felt
on the other side, and there is 8 terrible
futter in the Liberal dove cote.

TABOR TO BEAT VANDERBILT.
His Prospective MiIIiOn-dOuar Man
sion at Denver.
From The Denver Coll News.

From The Denver (Col.) News.
Ex-senator Tabor his given up the
idea of building million-dollar hotel
at the corner of Sixteenth and ARABIA
hoe street. He no longer has any
doubt that the Government Building
will be erected there, and he is content
with that. Instead OF investing his
moneyin house for the entertainment
of others, he will build one for the enter
tainment of himself. Mrs. Tabor told
q friend the other day that the famed
palaces of the California bonanzas and
the mansions of the Stewards and Van
derbiltq should not be so fine as the
house her husband will build.
The ex- Senator Is not communica-
tive on this subject. He doesn't want
to talk about his prospective palace
until his plans shall be fully matured.
At present he has nothing more than
a vague but delightful outline of what
his residence shall be. 1t will be built
In the middle of q block of ground
covering thirty-two lots of the regular
size. He has his eye on one of the
finest locations on Capitol Hill, and, if
he should set his heart upon rearing
his house there ne will have it, what
ever the cost may be. He intends
that his residence shall be to other
residences what his theater is to other
1heaters.
THE PLAN.
The mansion will contain about
thirty rooms, and it will be arranged
much as the dwellings of the ancient
princes Were-fOr the entertainment Of
guests, and to accommodate the
furthest extreme of festivity. There
will be banqueting halls, long and wide,
each with different furniture and fit
tings, which shall be so selected as to
serve for any event that Is likely to
occur. There will be one room which
can be used for receptions attended by
more guests than can be accommodated
in the reception-roOns for everyday
use. It will contain every beauty
which genius can suggest and execute
and money pay for. In the center
there will be fountain whose drops of
spray, as they sparkle In the rays of
light from a hundred gas-jets, will fall
upon the rarest exOtics that are known
to the hOrticulturist.
The floor will be q grand mosaics of
Colorado's most beautiful minerals, cut
and polished by skillful Iapidaries, and
arranged in odd and beautiful conceits
by one of New York's most noted ar
lists. The walls will be colored in
beautiful tints, and the soft-swelling
dome will seem to fade away in the
blue distance of the sky which will be
there represented.

Measuring the Speed of a Railroad


There are certain commonplace
methods of calculation by which every
one may estimate the rapidity of a
trains motion. Counting the telegraph
poles is a custom as old as the poles
themselves. With the aid of watch,
and 9. knowledge of the distance be-
tween the poles, it may be satisfac-
torilly accomplished. Those vino have
not a watch Lave but to turn their
attention 20 the fence-posts. At q
twenty neutrality-suspicious. gate the posts
may be counted separately by q quick
eye and q prompt brain. When the
speed is increased to twenty-five miles,
they go in twos, and at thirty miles
per hour they sweep by in groups OF
three. An increase of ten miles more
per hour causes them to appear to
travel in clumps offour. At fifty miles
per hour they flash by in confused
splotches of five and six, and at mile
a minute, they become merged into az
uninterrupted dull gray streak. no
matter what their Individual color, too
swiftly to be counted in groups how
ever large. It is not difficult to train
the eye to catch and distinguish these
groups, and after a little practice it be-
comes mere matter Of habit, sugcep-
tible of being carried to high degree
of accuracy. A mistaken notion as to
the actual velocity of railroad travel
very generally prevails. The estimate
is placed much too high.

Foxes Chasing a Cat.
West Chester Republican.


On Thursday last John P. Thornbury
saw two foxes, apparently male and
female, in close pursuit after cat of
the common species. The chase was
nip-and-tuck affair, and so continued
for few seconds later, but was then
suddenly terminated by the cat bound
ing up tree, and in so doing displayed
a Cunnipgness that must even have
surprised the foxes. They were so
close upon the heels of the cat that a
few yards NOR run must have brought
them upon it, and apparently realizing
its danger, the little animal ran first
behind the tree and then up, so that
before the foxes could stop and get in
to position to jump at it. it had reach
ed point of sufficient altitude from
the ground to be out of reach.

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.

EDITOR REVIEW Allow me. through
the G, lUmns Of your paIpr, to make a few
remarks relative to the suffrage bill, from
a wonanly standpoint. Any deviation
rom an old custom, or Advancement in
any department, must naturally meet
with OPPOSITION and subject to sharp criti-
I!9m. | know Of no subject 50 little un-
dcrstoOd as woman suffrage. Denuncia-
Ions are freely expressed, founded wholly
upon ignorance. knowledge is power,
and when widely diffused among the pco-
lie, tends 20 a broader understanding Of
human rights. We do not need scriptural
quotations or historical anecdotes TO eN-
press our meaning. We want common
'ense, founded upon reason and judg-
Ilent, which will broaden the platform OF
humanity and give to every man and
woman equal rights.
We are told that stringent laws are not
iUr the peace abiding, but the lavl '~s, and
10 serve as protection for all. That is
precisely what the ballot shOul be, pro-
tcctiVe power in the hands Of women as
wei! as men. We do not intend to make
a partial plea for either mllr or female
supremacy. We appeal TO the reasoning
m.nd Of the nineteenth century to say II
u be not consistent, when women are
taxed equally with men, that they should
have the same right to help make the
laws and elect those most suitable to rep
resent the interests Of the age in which
we 1--we. Taxation without representation
is unjust, and il it is derOgatory for
women to manifest an interest in topics
which are Of so great importance, then is
it equally wrong to tax their property.
The world is moving. Thinking men
and women are needed for the great issues
Of the day. We allow all women are not
qualified for the ballot, neither are all
men. Women have been made to believe
in oil ages that the exercise Of political
rights would demOralizc them. Could
the women Of America understand that
the vote represents both material and
moral power, they wnul no. long remain
Indifferent on the subject. Since this Ter
ritory is little in advance on this subject,
We should look into tho matter intClli-
gently and not allow the snecr Of ignO-
rance to influence us without investga
tinn, or to prejudice our opinion. Il has
been truly said that the highest order Of
genius often springs from the lowe
stratum Of society. We are aware we ar1
not at present competent to exeTci @
sound Judgment in matters we have been
unacquam'cd with. What we need is @ l.
ucaiiOn or enlightenment on the different
topics. Educate the people," was the
legacy Of George Washington to the ma
tiOn he had saved. "E luca.e the people,"
was the unceasing cNhOrtation Of Thomas
Jefferson. 1t is the only power which can
qualify men and women to think for
themselves. When women are desirous
Of INTEL gently understanding the princi-
Tl,s which govern us rs a nation, we shall
find the combined talent Of our republic
can be made ava:lbla to sustain its
strength and power and influence. For
humanity Is a unit its interests arc one

SOME time ago the san Francisco
ChrORicle was rather skeptical upon
the nature of the CGur d'Alene
mines. The truth is the people at
that city had never seen the pro-
ducts Of the new mines, and thought
them merely existing on paper.
Horace l.. Cutter, cashier Of the
First National Bank, of this city,
who has just returned from Califor-
mia, exhibited some Of the specimens
to the astonishcd gaze of the news
paper scribes of san Francisco, and
the mineral has set people wild
down that way. The chronicle,
with a spirit of fairness, thus makes
amends for its late ungracious re-
marks:
The first reports received from the
CRur d'Alene mines, situated near
the line of the Northern Pacific rail-
way, were Of so rOse-COlOred a char
acter as to naturally excite suspicion
that they were highly cOlOred pur-
pOsely to entice men to u remote
.Ountry, so that transportation COM
panies and other interested persons
might fleece them. So many cor
TObOrating accounts are being re-
Ceived, however, that it is impOSsi-
| le to doubt the genuineness Of the
find and that it is very rich one.
Yesterday Horace l.. Cutter, cashier
Of the First National Bank Of SpOk-
ane, w. T., called at this office and
exhibited two large nuggets, each
containing nearly $50 worth of gold,
found in the new diggings. Mr.
Cutter, who by the way is well
known in this city and San Jose,
where he was formerly engaged in
the banking business, states that
there can be no doubt about the rich
ness Of the diggIngS, abundant evil
dence thereof being presented to
him at the bank in the shape Of dust
and nuggets of varying sizes. He
says there are now something like
800 men on the ground waiting for
the weather to open, and believes
there will be a big rush in the
pring. At present, owing to the
verify Of the weather, little or no
digging can he done, and il would
lie worse than folly for any one short
of money to go TO the mines, as pro-
visions are very dear and accommO-
dltiOns scarce and expensive. SpOk-
Tne, Mr.. Cutter claims, will he the
hest point from which to gain access
in the mines when the season opens,
and that town is on the line Of the
Northern Pacific.

The REVIEW, unintentiOnally and
much to the regret of the helmsman,
was party to perpetrating a slight
fraud upon the community this
week. Upon the representations of
the advance agent and the promise
of so much per line, in our last two
issues we announced the coming Of
the versatile comedian, Jas. O'Ncir.
We have no doubt but that it was
Jim's intention to be here on the
date announced, but painful circum-
stances over which he had no con-
troll prevented him from carrying
out the programme as announced by
small bills. We have heard, in a
roundabout way, that the humorous
actor became involved in one of the
real comedies Of life at Billings,
which is by no means amusing to
the chief actors. Synopsis of play
Poor houses. Coin peters. Sher-
iff attaches. Company colldpses. \
general sparring for victutls, etc.
Such being the case, the renowned
is not around to fill dates. We have
only sympathy for man in trouble,
and have nothing to say against Mr..
O'Neill, but we would like to feel
satisfied in regard to that advance
agent. He may have been honest
in his preparations for the arrival Of
his trUnpc, and again he may have
known the impecunious condition Of
the O'Neill, and played his hand
here merely for lift further down
the road. He managed to burn
some Of our people to the extent Of
a number Of dollars, anyhow.

After many days l.. W. Rima has
at last got comfortably settled in his
new brick on Howard street. This
building is one Of the substantial
bricks that have been added to the
city during the past summer. 1t
was put up by that skilled builder,
|. T. Benham, and is complete in
every detail from the basement to
the tin roof, and is Il standing evil
dcnce of the prosperity of the
owner. The new watch, clock and
jewelry establishment is i'm every re-
spect in keeping with the exterior
appearance Of the quarters. The
show windows are as attractive as
those of great city. They have
been fitted up for the purpose of dis
playing the stock to the hest possible
advantage, and glitter with costly
array Of trinketS Of every descrip-
tiOn. The north side of the large
store room is fitted with glass front
shelving, upon which is p-ofusion
of silver and plated ware of elegant
device and pattern. On the same
side is long showcase containing
an endless variety Of jewelry of
every description, from the most eX-
pensive diamonds and other bril-.
liants 40 the cheaper grades. The
case at the east end contains plated
goods, while the large cases on the
south side hold optical goods, instru-
ments, etc. The room at night is
brilliantly Illuminated with hand
some glass-pendant lamps. The es-
Enlistment in all its appointments
is quite citified, and if you want to
see an extensive stock in that line
just drop in and Mr.. Rima or his
able assistant, Mr. Frodsham, will
take pleasure in showing you around
the premises.
