Mormon missionaries have been set
apart to obtain recruits for colonizing
Colorado, besides sixty-three mission
aries sent to Europe and the Northern
States for general recruiting. The
Mormon church claims 27,29f men,
bers in Utah, which is evidently
sufficient number to dominate that
Territory for long time, unless some
unexpected tide of anti-Mormon emil
grafton sets in.

A physician who writes for the Con
tinent about the curative powers Of
nature is positive in his conviction
that it is better for consumptive to
stay at home, where he can be comfort
able, than subject himself to the dis
comfort of hotel life, or to the greater
inconvenience Of camp. He says
that the camp cure may be fairly tried
by sleeping on ones own housetor.
Another medical man replies tnat the
summer conditions Of spruce forests
are eminently. favorable, and consump
tives have recovered in tho most sur
prising way living under canvas in
them, where the air is impregnated
with the healing emanations peculiar
to the nondeciduous tree growths
There are consumptives whose lungs
crave the salt air of the ocean; others
to whom the dry atmosphere of Color
ado is infinitely soothing; and others
again who are benefited by the eli
mate of Florida or Southern Cali
fornia.

discoverer first buried at Seville, have
been moved about till they finally lie
in the Cathedral Of Saint Domingo, and
now they are to be turned out of their

such manner that the remains will

Towns to Order.


The rapid growth of the prairies of the
Northwest has exceeded the ability of
builders to supply emigrants with homes,
and as result new industry has sprung
up-that of manufacturing ready made
houses, which are shipped to any point on
few days notice, These houses are COM
plete in every respect, and can be put
together in very few days, 1t is no I'M
common thing for the manufacturers to
send out by one train an entire block of
buildings, and sometimes even an entire
street. 1t is said that a request for an
entire village like the following is some
times received by the builderss ''What is
your lowest figure for five stores, two
wagon and two blacksmith shops, one
Methodist and one Presbyterian
Church, twenty-five cottages, a town
hall and lookup, TO be de-
livered within sixty daysr' A
telegram asking "What can you furnish a
tidy cottage, 22x40 feet, with bay window
and veranda, forY' is frequently received.
The extent tOWhich this Industry has de-
velOped may be realized from the fact that
last season a single factory shipped 220
cars of this kind of material. Its manu-
facture is mainly confined to Canadians,
a singular fact, the Yankee being sup
posed to take up with any enterprise that
bids fair to succeed often before the one
who conceives it has time to make use of
his idea. A large proportion of the houses
in and around Winnipeg are said TO be OF
the ready made kind. These houses have
not yet been very generally used on the
United States side of the line, but the in
dicati0ns are that the emigration to Da-
kota next spring and summer will be so
great as to render il absolutely necessary
If the newcomers would have a shelter to
cover them.

The brownsville and Carabelle

The Legislature of Florida recently
chartered new railroad in that State
under the above title, and for the speedy
construction of which the State also grant,
ed from thepublic lands otherwise unap-
prOpriated, 1900 acres per mile. This Is
a much more important measure than APP
pears on the surface to the general public,
and as all the circumstances point TO
speedv commencement and early compile
ton of the work, it may be well to glance
at its Importance.
At brownsville, Ga, the road will cross
the Savannah, Florida and Western, now
closing gap south Of cambridge to com
plete its continuous line to New Orleans.
At the same place it will connect with
and form on the map a continuation south
ward of the Townsville and Albany
branch of the first named railroad, which,
at Albany, connects with the great Geor-
gia systems nOrthward. 1t converts
brownsville into a city of crossroads, and
proceeding southwark along the beautiful
Iamonia lake region, thirty-siX miles to
Tallahassee, performs the same good office
for that growing capital, by crossing the
Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile,
now also continuous from Jack
sonville to New Orleans, Galveston or
anywhere else out West, and by connect
ing with theoTallahassee and st, Marks
Road Closing up this gap through one
of the finest agricultural districts in the
South. the road curves from Tallahassee
TO the southwest, and runs about forty
miles through what may be called new
country-at least almost unknown-to
Carabelle, on Crooked river, which forms
with the Cult coast James Island. This
now thriving title town was unknown
a few years ago, and has sprung
up chiefly from the lumber
trade carried on by enterprising mill
men, who were early attracted after the
war by the accessible pine forests of that
section. The town is located in the vicin-
ity of Dog Island, which has long been re-
puted to possess one of the best harbors
on the Gulf coast. Should the projected
barge canal enterprise from the st, Mary's,
through 0kefnokee, down the SuWan-
nee and to st, Marks be carried out,
Crooked river will form u section OF the
canal and place Carabelle on the great
water transportation line between
the Atlantic Ocean and the mouth
Of the Mississippi across the
Peninsula of Florida. The ThOmasville
and Carabelle Railroad, then, opens large
and fertile agricultural district to the
Gulf trade of all the world; il gives new
connections to three great systems of rail-
wav almost in the centre OF their terri
tory; it brings the capital of Florida and
one of the finest coast lines of the Gulf
within few hours run of all Southwest
ern Georgia. and finally, it gives to agri-
culture, population and thrift, vast areas
Ofidle lands that otherwise would not
probably be utilized in twenty-five years

The Irish "InvincihIes."

The Phoenix Park murders were afro
ciOus enough when first told of, but the
horror of detail with which the informer
Carey invests them renders the crimes
the more revolving. 1t would appear 1hat
the s1nvincibles' had the tolls lald ABOUT
most of the high officials in Dublin, and
were only hindered by most fortuitous
circumstances from carrying out their
murder0us plans.
Looking back the dupes Of the master
spirits can see that no good was worked
for Ireland, and the felOn's dock awaits
those who appealed to the dagger in her
behalf. Nay, more. This Irish revolu-
ton, for such it is, is to be stained as have
been others by the sacrifice Of victims Of
infOrmers. 1t was just as certain that
the government would md testimony,
when i'm need of it, as that Cayendish
and Burke were struck down.
Again, it has been shown by this and
other murders in Ireland, that violence
will win her nagght. Crimes and out
RACES have been committed upon her peO-
pie which were promptly and rightly
avenged, but the programme Of the SHOT
gun and the dagger can never be JUSTIFIED
nor carried very far.
Carey's assertion that the funds were
supposed by the members Of the assas-
sination society TO come from the Land
League is evidently going to be used as
political weapon both against the Parnell-
ties and against the Ministry, which re-
yersed the policy under which Parnell
was treated as a criminal. 1t is an accu-
sati0n, TOO, which the Leaguers will prOba-
bly, find il difficult TO answer, because 1t
cannot be answered without an audit of
the accounts by outsiders, to which the
! Leaguers would, even if it were possible,
hardly consent. 1t may be presumed that
! the League contained great many men
! in its branches like Carey and the other
/ ''Invincibles," who were ready for assas-
sination as a means of agitation, and
quite willing to use funds given them for
League purposes to further assassination,
but it would be impossible to bring guilty
knowledge on this point home to the
| chiefs.
Carey cannot be wholly discredited, nor
can he be fully believed. At any rate, II
| the .IGyincibles" were organized for as
sassinatiOn, they deserve cOndign punish
ment. But TO hang the ACCUSED on the
| evidence of Carey and other testimony
procured as his has been, is to take a
fearful responsibility; and yet it is one
from which the British Government will
/ not be likely to shrink.

The Transportation Problem.
Charleston Ne,os and Courier.

The railroad is unlike any other carrier,
inasmuch as it has no competing carriers
along its route and is only brought into
competition with other railroad lines at
competing points. Such being the case it
is obvious that at competing points the
rates are necessarily below the average,
and at non-competing points above the
average. The effect Of this kind of COM
petition is to drive trade away from the
nOn-cOmpeting or high rate points, and to
concentrate it at the competition or low
rate points, result as disastrous to public
prosperity as it must logically be to the
railroads themselves. To make the rates
equal and to justify competing at every
shipping or receiving point, it would be
necessary to have two or more roads
along the same route under the control OF
conflicting interests,

Testing a Fire Escape with a Tele-
phone Girl.

4 gentleman doing business on Broad
way, and who notices every little thing,
saws he was never so frightened in his life
as he was the other night, when they were
trying patent fire escape on the building
occupied by the Telephone Exchange.
During the afternoon several men went
down the escape safely, but the agent for
the patent concern couldn't induce any of
the telephone girls to try it, Finally, af-
ter it began to be little dark, one of the
girls, with more nerve than the rest, con-
scented to make her exit by the patent
Continuance. She was seated in the
chair, made Of straps, and took hold
of the rope and was swung out of
she window. People looked on, or up,
with wonder. They had never seen
anything like it, and as the frail girl was
poised in the air, her teeth set, as well as
the rest of her, her delicate fingers clutch
ing the rope, and her eyes sticking out so
you could hang clothes on them, it was a
scene to make the stOutest heart quail, on
toast. The girl went down about six
feet. and then the rope got caught, and
she hung there like AbsalOm, only
with this difference, that Alb. hung
by his hair. Strong men tnrned pale, and
looked to see the girl faint and fall into it.
But she was not that kind Of girl. She
wished she had as many dollars as she
fort. She remained in statu quo, if
that is what she remained in.
People below were occupied with
different thoughts. Some were praying
that she might hold out faithful to the end,
and others were laughing at her. One
fellow shouted, "HellOw, central! Con-
meet me with $40, two rings" and the girl
looked down at him as though she would
like to eat him, The situation was be-
make the rope work, and finally a hand
was reached out of the window, the stead
fast girl was grasped by some portion of
her clothing that would not rip, and just
as the crowd were about to faint away at
the sight, she was pulled in the window
and embarrassed from the fire escape. AS
her feet touched the floor she shook her
dress with one hand, brushed her hair
with the other, and turning to the agent
of the fire escape she said: "Don't you
ever speak to me again." Volumes could
not saw more.

ST. JOsEPH's ACADEMY.
Semi-AHnual Examination of the Pupils
The Result Gratifying,


WASHINGTON, GA, Feb. 20.-On Mon
day and Tuesday, 18th and 18th inst,
were held the semi-annual examinations
of the pupils of st. JOseph's Academy. AS
usual the pupils were well prepared, and
acquitted themselves with more than or
binary credit. The primary pupils and
those of the lower grammar grade were
tested in the elements of arithmetic,
grammar, geography and United States
history, the exercises being varied by
recitatiOns and songs. The little ones
were cOmpO sed, and seemed so confident
that they possessed ready answers that
the interest of the spectators was not
diminished by fears of failure, and all eX-
pressed themselves well pleased at the
merited success,
Tuesday morning witnessed the exam
nation of the higher grammar and third
senior classes, Examinations were given
in Christian doctrine, arithmetic and
grammar. In the latter a most interest
ing feature of blackboard work was given
by the writing out of synOpses and analy-
sis by diagram. United States History,
rhetoric and natural philosophy, were
also well and ably recited. In the evening
the classes of the second and first senior
year were subjected to the ordeal.
Christrian doctrine, astronomy, geometry,
algebra. botany, rhetoric and menSura-
and the verdict was most gratifying. In
the recitation in astronomy the class
illustrated, by well-drawn figures, the
cause of ecIipses, phases of the moon, etc,
thus greatly adding to the interest of all
present.
The select readings were highly COM
mended for the elOcutiOnary power
displayed, and in the examinations
of both morning and evening the young
ladies distinguished themselves by the
ease and cOmposure with which they an
swered the technicalities of science, and
gave practical examples, showing that
their knowledge was not all obtained from
books, but also by observation and retlec-
ton. The exercises closed by contest
in spelling between the pupils of the four
highest grades, The contest was so well
sustained that after half an hours trial
request was made to leave both sides vic
tors. as where all spelt so admirably it
would be difficult to declare the champion,
Thus ended the first examination of the
present school year, and if the pupils
acquit themselves as laudably at the next
one, we may we'll yield the palm of appli-
cation and scholarship to the pupils of st.
JOseph'S Academy.

4 Sensible Suggestion.

4 citizen. oyer the signature of 'Mer-
chant" in the local coi0E.rs Of the NEWS
this morning, suggests the propfiety, in
view of the success of the recent Sesqui-
Centennial celebration, Of having an an
nual celebration OF the founding of GeOr-
gia, with features similar TO those which
marked the Sesqui-Centennial, OF such
others as the permanent managers might
deem appropriate.
That such a custom once established
would be pleasurable and profitable, there
can be nc dOubt. \ permanent fund for
defraying the expenses Of the celebration
could be readily raised, and, 6y letting
the people understand that the attrac-
tons to be presented would be worth wit
Messing, there would be no difficulty in
obtaining a large attendance at the cere-
monies,
\ similar custom has grOwnup in Balti-
more, arising out of the Monumental
City's Sesqui-Centennial, and her annual
"OriOle Festival invariably draws crowds
from Maryland and neighbOring States.
Were the custom proposed established in
Savannah, the pleasure of the trip and
viewing the spectacles would compensate
visitors, but the advantages to visitors
and merchants from a business point of
view would grow the greater from year to
year.
We doubt not that our leading men of
business will give the suggestion their
warm approval, and lose no time in fol-
lowing it up with practical plans for its
execution. 1t is further suggested that
a meeting be held, say tomorrow, time
and place to be stated in the public prints,
at which such Of our citizens as feel an
interest in the matter may meet and dis
cuss the subject.
There are few, if any, occasions in the
round Of the year upon which the people
Of the State can meet on a common plane
OF pleasure, and certainly the birthday of
Georgia would appear the most fitting
day upon which they might for the time
seek relaxation from the trials and labors
of every day life.
