Soon after the wal Atlanta became a
great stock market by reason OF its SUI
! peri0r railroad advantages, its admira-
ble position as a distributing point for
Georgia and the surrounding states, and
also because of the enterprise of its
local stock dealers. The city has more
than held its own in this respect. The
other day a leading livery stable and
stock yard man said: 81 anticipate a
| great season in our business greater
one than we had last year."
HAS the business fairly opened yet?''
"No, but we have information which
points to very large proportions for it,.
You see we have two seasons for horses
and mules. The horses come in during
the months of August, September, Dc
tober and November. The mules begin
to arrive in November, but business is
not brisk until December. 1t contin-
ues then until April. About fourteen
carloads of horses have passed through
Atlanta in the two OF three weeks for
points south and east. Our local sup
ply is Just beginning TO come in.h
(which is the more valuable to At
lanta, the horse or the mule trader"
1.-THE mule trade by far. In fact,
very few people know how big a thing
it is. There were 1000 mules sold from
my yards alone last season, and the eity's
| trade goes to about 1900 for a season.
They bring mules here from Kentucky,
Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and
Illinois. Atlanta is N of the best
markets the stockholders in those states
can ind."
"Who buys all these mules2"
"They are distributed all over Geor-
. gia. both Carolinas, Florida and Alaba-
ma. The Atlanta market is relieved
principally by wholesale. There are
jobbers in mules all through the south
who come in here and buy them by the
dozen, the score and the hundred and
then peddle them 70 the farmers all
through the country. You would be
surprised to know how much specula-
ton there is, too. The market is
watched very closely, asd there are
men ready at all times to scoop up a
good bargain for any number of mules. p"
What is the average price OF a mule
in Atlantap''
"Well, that is not an easy question.
They are brought here from four TO
seven years old. A four-year-old mule
already broke is worth from x125 to
$3.50, though the best Of a drove sells
often for 500 or more apiece. Even
averaging them at $l25 and you have
for the $4,000 mules received here
nearly $4,000, 600"

FUNNY PopIars.

About 30 years ago a resident on Ap-
slew street, Amherstburg, planted oppe-
site his residence four young poplar
trees, which had been presented to him
by an old Scotch friend who originally
brought the seed from the Orkney
islands. Time passed on. The trees
grew and lowered high above the sur.
rounding buildings, so that birds of the
AR built their nests among the top
branches far out of reach of the school
bows slingshot. At last the trees stop
ned growing upwards and turned Their
attention to multiplying roots. Four
wells in the vicinity were completely
cboked up. After a while the roots
took another freak. Wherever one
shot up abeve the surface of the ground
and found its progress barred by the
sidewalk, a floor of dwelling or any
thing else, it grew a hard round knot
TO the end, which gradually increased
in bulk until il showed everything be
fore it. Then they changed their tao
tics. and made tremendous efforts To
propagate their species. Within q ra-
dius of a thousand yards they sent up
up millions of shoots. And then the
owner got mad and made irewood OF
, the old trees TO the great GRIEF OF his
neighboTs.

CUzc0, the ancient capital Of the old
Inca empire OF Peru, Is situated high
up among the Andes. at a point so eie-
waited that, although under the tropics,
it has the climate and products Of the
temperate zone, says a writer in -.
Nichglas. 1t still has many remains
Of Inca architecture, distinguished for
its ~nassiveness. which are likely to en-
dure for centuries to come. On a hill.
or emIHenee, nearly a thousand feet
high, overlooking the city, are the re-
mains of the great Inca fortress OF the
Sac-sa-hua-mau, in the stormIng OF
which Juan Pizarr0, the brother of the
conquerur of Peru. was slain. THIS
fortress was built Of gigantic stones, or.
rather rocks, and their great size and
the accuracy with which they are fitted
together astonish all who see them.
In front of this fortress IS a curious
dome-shaped a of rock, called the
RO-da-dero, and sometimes also La
Piedra Lisa, or ''sm0oth rock be-
cause its convex surface is groOyed, as.
if the rock had been squeezed up,
while In a plastic state, between irregu-
lar and unyieldIng walls, and then har-
dened into shape. a mass of dough,
forced up under the O~utspread hands.
would give something of the same APP
pearance in miniature. But the hollows
Of the grooves on the Peruvian hill are
smooth and CLASSY. II is said in the
old chronicles and traditions that the
Inca youth, long years ago, amused
themselves 10y coursing, or sliding,
through these polished grooves on fes-
tiyal days and holy days; and this Gus
tom is still practiced by the modern
youth of CuzcO.
There IS one advantage, and 1t Is "A
great one, too, which these boys possess
over the northern boys, who live In the
land of ice and snow and that ls it IL
not necessary for them to toll up a long
and slippery hill, dragging after them
their heavy sleds, which grow heavier
with every step they take. so the longer
they ride the harder work it IS for them
to get back to the starting place. The
Cuzco boy sits down at the top OF
the rock in one ofthe grooves, and with
a slight start away he goes with all the
speed imaginable, until he reaches The
bottom, landing in a soft bed Of earth
then he picks himself up, runs around
to an easy place of ascent, and is up
again in a minute to repeat his ride.

Nestled among tire foothills of the
Coast Range of Mountains, in the
neighborhood Of san Francisco, are
many beautiful towns and villages, in
which a large portion Of the lnhabi-
tants of the City of the Golden Gate
have established Il cir permanent resi-
dences. Most of these places are easy
of access by train aud steamboat; and
In every respect they offer advantages
which are seldom elsewhere the con
comitants OF suburban living. In the
matter Of climate they are especially IA
yored. The temperature is mild, dry
and equable; the air pure and fresh, and

Ancient Paris.

Spots which were nee part of an
Gent Paris are disappearing every year
before the demolishing pickaxe. From
a hygienic and sanitary point Of view,
these relics cannot be regretted, but the
antiquarian or artist may be allowed to
sigh as he sees picturesque corners re-
placed by broad streets Of stone houses
in the bastard Italian style OF architec-
ture. Another relic Of ancient Paris is
about to be done away with, through
the opening of a street on the side OF the
Impasse du POnt-aux-Biches. This
place, some centuries ago, wasa narrow
passage, beginning IN the Rue Notre
Dame de Nazareth, and forming a con-
tinuation of the Rue du Pont-aux-
Biches. 1t derived its name from a
bridge over a sewer, and an inn, OF
which the sign was two biches, or does.
There we're no doors or windows in this
passage, which was about two hundred
feet long and very narrow. 1t was
blocked up by barrows and trucks, and
often unfortunate wretches who We're
without a shelter made 1t a refuge.

Christianity zwhioh -ars highly favored

for Or. De La Matyr, or anybody eaee;sts

through our present political system, but
he wants to overthrow the tyrants who
are persecuting the people the brothers

thinks it can be done with the ballot.
And he breaches what he believes-as
any honest man would do, whether z

What seems to stir up these editorial

JUSTICE.

So absorbed in the struggle to keep
THE ENQUIRER up to the standard, under
pressing need, have I been during the
past two or three weeks that have neg,
lected to manifest the honor due other
and ADLER workers in our cause. 1t is
becoming almost regular weekly oc'
currence to notice the advent of a new
journalistic champion Of the peoples
rights in this country, butwe more fre-
quently, nowadays, hear that some fear,
less champion of that principle in Europe
has been stamped out by the iron heel Of
tyranny than that new ones are there
budding into life.
1t is, therefore, a source of pleasure
and hope to be able to tell the readers Of
The ENaUIRER that weekly journal,
devoted to the cause and edited by some
of the ablest thinkers and writer's of our
time has been started in the city oi

bears as its name that grandest of grand
words in our language, Justice" and
the principles it advocates are the
essence of its title. The editors of the
new journal are H. NJ. Hyndman, Will
liam Morris and H. H. Champion, three
gentlemen who are already known to
those on this side of the Atlantic who
have read much on social and political
science during the past few years. AT
some future time I may deem it wise to
give an extended personal sketch OF
each of these gentlemen. At present
suffice it to say that a stronger trio could
not easily be selected in England to per
form the work this one has undertaken
to arouse the people against the unjust
social and political systems of the world.
Justice will be received weekly at this
oficd, and 1 shall find great satisfaction
in making extracts from it; and I will
be pleased to show the paper to anyone

THE POLITICAL PARsoN.

Some of the weakly editors of patent
insides in Colorado are very much agi-.
tated because Reverend De La Matyr has
taken a step in advance of the old "hell-
fire theology" to which they were accus-
toned in youth, and which they haven't
brains enough to improve upon. These
fellows think DR.. De La Matyr should
stick closely to the ritual Of the Metho-
dist church and never have a word
to say about social or political questions.
Well, the majority of them are fine lot
of daisies to tell anybody what is the
sphere and duty of a Christian man.
Some Of them think they are in6dels,
but they make mistake. Inidels may
be holy horrors, but they are not with
out brains.
The saints who are finding so much
fault with DR.. De La Matyr's manner of
religion don't know what Christianity is.
They don't know what Christ himself
did as Socialist and politician. They
have seen His picture somewhere, and
heard His name used by SOME fellow
when he stubbed his toe, And that's all
they know of Christ and Christianity.
There are 80 many of those same kind
of people in the church. that I don't go

r.nny APPRECIATION.

It is an old expression that "the world
never knows how good a man is until he
is gone" and this country has had fresh
proof of the truth of the saying in the
death of Wendell Philips and the actions
of editors and politicians since the sad
occurrence. Nearly all the great news
papers have discovered, since his deaths
that Wendell Phillips was one OF the
noblest and bravest men the country
ever produced Congress has even gone
so far as to resolve that in his death the
nation has lost one of its ablest and
most powerful defenders. Occasionally
now a newspaper or one of the nations
agreat men" has the consistency to say.
of the man who threatened their power
by his fearless expositions of crime and
fraud what they said of him while living,
but such have become desperate in their
attempts to serve and uphold their
masters, the oppressors of the people,
against the advanced knowledge of the
day, and they fear that veneration and
admiration for the departed champion of
human rights may beget understanding
and fidelity to the great principles he
advocated, which will never die. And
it is the hope that such fears are not
without some foundation which recon.
Giles the supporters of the views of
Wendell Phillips to his loss.
But what mockery it is for the repre-
sentatives of that class which maligned,
traduced and abused the noble apostle
of freedom while living, to now step for
ward, scarce ere the clods are on his coffin,
and vail and mourn over the great loss
WE have sustained" Such, proceeding
is the most contemplate hypocrisy and
should recoil on the heads of the Internal
sneaks who are guilty of it.
Wendell Phillips was as far above
these tin-h6rn statesmen and editors as
the stars are above the cobble stones.
His was craftsmanship, philosophy, a
humanity to which they are strangers
and will ever so remain. Then, in death,
they should respect by silence what
would awe an honest foe.
Future generations will honor the
name of Wendell Phillips and sing his
praises more proudly than the present
does that of Washington and Lincoln,
for they will understand his great mind
and heart, and will not be shamed by the
knowledge that they prosecuted the
apostle. No monument Of fine marble
needs he, no long string of washy reso-
Iutions. Every step which Freedom
takes will add to the imperishable monu-
ment erected in the history of liber-
ated people to the memory of Freedoms
champions and each happy hearthstone
will be an indellible scroll laden with
praise.
