life and property is greater. Counting from
the great cyclones of the middle of February,
it is probable that two thousand people have
lost their lives, and the property destroyed
amounts to many millions"
Mr.. CHARLES WYNDHAM's company had a
great race from New Orleans to New York
last week, in order to catch the Saturday
steamer for LIVERPOOL, Sir Randall Roberts
explaining it as follows: 1--WE had a great
race for the boat, and It was a race all the
way from Atlanta, Ga. You see, we played
IN New Orleans on Saturday night in Pink
Dominoes.' We took the first train after the
performance for Atlanta. where we played
one night. 1t was plain that we had figured
our margin down so close that the possibility
Of our filling our Atlanta date and getting to
London in time for our engagement there was
dependent on boats and steam cars running
exactly on schedule time. A delay Of few
hours by a wreck or blockade on the railroad
would have spoiled all. We took the mrs
train from Atlanta after our night there, and
came into New York on the Pennsylvania
Railroad. just two hours before the City Of
Richmond sailed.'
THERE is a scheme in contemplation to es-
tablish turtle parks on the coasts of Provence,
Algeria and Corsica. The turtle is so ex-
ceedingly prolific that if the eggs of only five
females of the species could be protected from
their numerous enemies every year the
Mediterranean would soon swarm with tur-
ties. The turtle lays its eggs during the
night upon the beach, covers them lightly
with sand. and leaves them to be Matched by
the sun. Unfortunately they are regarded as
a delicacy by the inhabitants of the coast,
who eat the greater part OF them, While many
more fall prey to dogs and other animals;
and Of the young turtles which leave the
shell, the greater number are devOured on
| their way to the sea by the innumerable wild
| fowl which flock about the coasts of the
| Mediterranean. The creation of few parks
| Of the sort proposed would so favor the natur-
| ally rapid multiplication of the species that
a Of fhaaaN e raNf
might be seen on poor mems tables, and sold
| at cheap restaurants.

Commissioner Bacon, who has just re
/ turned from Atlanta, states that the gen.
/ tleman who has been selected by that city
1 tOmanage the Atlanta exhibit at the New
/ Orleans Exposition is making arrange
ments to erect a building to be devoted
exclusively to the display OF articles
from Atlanta. and which are to be
known as the Atlanta exhibit. Under
the general plan, the State of Georgia is
to have a large space in the building de-
voted to the several States, and it is I'M
derst0od that everything from the State is
to be placed there so as to show the i'm
mense variety of its products.
1t is to be regretted if this plan and I'M
derstanding are not TO be carried out. If
Atlanta concludes TO. put up a tent and
run an independent show, ether towns
may feel that they are not particularly
called on to sustain the honor Of the State,
and may conclude to let the State look
out for itself.
The State has hOnOred Atlanta by max
ing her its capital. 1t has conferred on
her whatever glory and profit it could.
Ii the plan of her Commissioner is car
ried out it will be said that Atlanta, when
she could contribute something to the
glory of the state, selfishly refused. At
lanta may take pride in her separate ex-
hibit. but certainly no Georgian outside
of that city who feels a pride in
his State-and what Georgian does not?-
will manifest any enthusiasm with re-
gard to it. The aim of all the towns and
all the counties should be to push the
state TO the front and give it as promi-
nent a place as possible. What benefits
Georgia benefits the towns and people Of
Georgia. 1t is some satisfaction to know
that the separate exhibit scheme does not
meet with the approval Of a very large
portion Of the Atlanta people. 1t is
rather remarkable that the movement to
give Georgia a proud place at the ExpOsi-
ton should receive the cold shoulder from
the State capital.

by the way, l heard rather interest
ing story the other day, says a Boston
letter to the New York Graphic, while at
Mr.. Connelly's ticket agency. On the
desk was picture of a remarkably hand
some-in fact, a beautiful woman. On
the lower edge OF the card was written,
''No, it is not me. Lille Langtry." Not
only was the grammar sufficiently pecu-
liar to remind me of Freddie's famous
spelling, but the sentiment seemed so
strange that l asked an explanation. 1t
seems that while Mrs. Langtry was play
ing at the Globe Theatre just across the
street, a dispute arose among some gen.
tlemen as TO whether this was or was not
her picture. To settle the matter, the
picture was sent to her manager with a
polite request for her affirmation or de-
NAL. She at once saw it was not the pic
ture of herself, but of a really more beau
titul woman. She was not content with
dashing down the vehement phrase quoted
above, but was impelled to give vent to
her womanieh pique by writing across
the back: 81 think it is the picture of a
maid l had last year. AS it was after
wards known by the gentleman, and as it
was well known at the time by Mrs.
Lang.ry, the picture was not that of a
maid, but of rival, a well known society

There is a little breeze of unpleasant
ness" between the Governors Of Louisiana
and Texas. The trouble Is said to be
caused by GOV. Ireland, Of Texas, taking
ohense at Coy. McEnery's refusal to honor
a requisitiOn made by the former for the
delivery Of two parties in Louisiana
charged with moving their property out
Of the State OF Texas for the purpose of
defrauding their creditors. Last week
GOV. McEnery made requisitiOn for the
notorious Clark, who is charged with the
murder and robbery of a man and his
wife in Louisiana, who was arrested at
Terrell. Texas. Gov. Ireland declined to
honor the requisition, and replied in a
very curt letter. Gov. McEnery says the
laws Of Louisiana do not make abscond-
ing a penal offense. and hence he would
have been violating the law to have had
the parties arrested and returned TO
Texas. and that altogether he has issued
warrants during his term of office for
ffty-one fugitives from Texas. He has
replied in a dignifed manner, and seems
to have the advantage Of his irate Guber-
material neighbOr.

Senator Vest knows how TO tell story
with good effect. He has large stock OF
stories and fables which he draws on to
make his speeches attractive. Mr.. Vest
opposed the Blair bill. Early in the de-
bate on the bill he reminded his Demo
cratic associates who were supporting il
of the story of the monkeys who were
holding council with much solemnity
and state. until some one threw handful
of nuts among them, when they forgot
their dignity in a wild scramble for the
nuts-a fable that provoked much more
laughter on the Republican than on the
Democratic side. Since the bill passed
the Senate, Mr.. Vest is not quite sure thai
his fable was in good taste,
