perhaps, or hardly foreseeing the mag

Gen. Logan through his practical
wisdom discovers his choicest monu-
uent in the bureau which he founded.
Like Sunset CoX's iife-saving service
bureau, the infant of yesterday Is II
briarean giant of to-day, stretching
forth life-saving hands from every
haven of refuge along the Atlantic

STRANGE OMISSION.
The property of Atlanta and other
towns cities and villages everywhere
organized heneiicent associations
springing from suflerings of the poor,

We're the great providential sufferers
and principal beneticiaries of this uni

the poor blacks may starve
and freeze; but invested with il the
negro is most admirable and lovable

or blankets Lor shoes or iron cotton
ties, these 'murdcrous Southern
whites are clothing and feeding with

negro population of the South.

the multitude of people are to this eX-

II now subsists, is the machine of the

Is the purpose and result of the pro-

In developing railway rascalities, he
