"CaII the Next Case, Sir"

Forty years ago Eatonton was fast
town. Gembling 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-1845 or 1876
the grand jury returned one true bill
against forty persons-John w. Ashurst
solicitor general, and a number OF prom
inent lawyers included-in one batch
for gaming It was in this case that it
is said Judge Cone made himself famous.
When the case was reached all of the de-
PENDANTS arose and pleaded guilty.
Judge Cone fined each of them $40 and
costs, and lectured them severely upon
the uselessness and immortality OF such
habits and the viciousness of the exam
pie which they were setting for the
youth of the country; then, command
ing the defendants to take their seats,
with solemn face but a merry twinkle
in his eye, he turned to the clerk and
said: s.Now, Mr.. Clerk, enter after
these cases, State of Georgia VS.. Judge
Cone; gambing-special information by
His Honor; plea Of guilty. and fine him
$lOO and costs. Call the next case, sir. =

Important Land Ruling.

Secretary Teller has addressed letter
of no little importance to the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office in re-
gard to the enclosure and occupation OF
large tracks Of public lands by stock
men. The Secretary says that enclos-
ures of this character are unauthorized
illegal; that they are in the nature of
tresspass upon the public domain and
are equally offensive to law and morals
as if upon private property; that all lands
not legally appropriated are vacant and
subject to disposal to whomsoover legal
ly applies for them. Until settlement
is made under the settlement laws, there
is no objection to the grazing Of cattle or
cutting hay en- government land, pro
vided such unappropriated lands are
open to all alike To allow few wealthy
stock men to fence these lands, and
thus not only practically withdraw
them from the operation of the settle
ment laws, but deprive men Of small
means of the advantage of acquiring set
tlement, will not be allowed under any
pretense whatever.

The interior of the arch on which the
equestrian statue of the Duke of Yelling
ton rested at Hyde Park gate was found,
on being taken down, to be honeycombed
with rooms, in which a colony of twenty
persons, including the janitor and his
family, six policemen and u medical
student lived. When the old palace at
Somerset House was pulled down to
make room for the new government
offices, it was found that q prolific col
ony of cripples and beggars had been
squatting there, and that gang OF coin
ers piled their trade in the cellar. So
when the old Winter Palace at st. Pc
tersburg was burned down it was discov-
cred that nearly 800 people had been
living for years on tie roof of the edifice.
They kept cows and grew vegetables,
and children had been born and men
died on that old eyrie.

the best husbands, the best companions
for Woman-just as womanly women are
the best sweethearts and wives. What
do we think of women who are Stunned
by their own sex, however charming
men may find .thems It is seldom, il
ever, that your mems favorite ill-uses
his wife. Perhaps it may be explained
in this way: Friendship of sublimer
sort is what love becomes after year or
SO of marriage, and he who is friendly
to the very depths of his soul, enters into
this state happily, and is ready for all
the delights which follow. But the man
who is capable Of nothing but feeting
affection which ever pursues new OBJ
ject, and cares for no woman when she
is won, hates the domestic ties, and be-
comes detestable in consequence. 1t is
the man who would die for his friend,
and for whom his friend would die, who
makes miraculously happy wife of the
woman to whom he scarcely knew how
to make love to when he courted her.

A Chicago father according to the
Herald of that city, laid his hand pater-
nally on his daughters shoulder. The
section of satin dividing the arm from
the neck was narrow, and it was raised
high in puffy mass, which looked soft
enough, and did indeed sink yieldingly
under the touch until the level of the
actual girl was struck; but instantly
there was stiff, snappish rebound, as
though steel trap had been sprung,
and the fathers hand was thrown up
into the air. Goodness he calculated
"has your shoulder exploded?o No,
papa she whispered; "but shall if you
don't get back your poise right away.
There's spring in that puff, to make
it stand up. It's nothing unusual in the
present fashion of high shoulders, but
there's no use in exposing all of ones
clockwo in public. So hush"

Good Advice.

You will prevent and cure the greater
part of the ills that affiict mankind in
this or any section, if you keep your
stomach, liver and kidneys in perfect
working order. There is no medicine
known that does this as surely as Par
kers Ginger Tonic. It will keep your
blood rich and pure, and give you good
health at little cost. See other column.
