Editorial Vhins.

Marietta Journal: The mob that invad-
ed Dalton the other night would have been
in better business if they had visited At
lanta and dispersed the Georgia Legisla-
ture.
The MOnteZuma Record, in an article
headed "Matrim0ny and Cotton" reasons
that the two 20 hand in hand together,
and that a big cotton crop means lively
matrimonial market this winter.
Marietta journal: 1t looks now as il
the Legislature will remain in session
altogether at least five months, instead of
the little over five weeks specified in the
State constitution. This is all wrong. A
man who would manage his own private
affairs after the fashion set by the Legis-
lature with regard to the public business,
would soon hnd himself a bankrupt. He
would also forfeit the respect of his neigh
bOrs, il not OF bis own family.
Marietta Journal; We regard all at
tempts to fOrestall the popular choice Of
our next Governor, fourteen months In adj
vance of the election, as the work OF some
politicians who have some personal
interest or expectation in the success of
the as Grants whom they favor. The peo-
pie generally are taking no interest in
the question as yet, and they may safely
be advised to look with suspicion upon
the movements which are being made TO
select a candidate for them.

evening cottage, situated on Intenden-
cla street, and belong ny to Col. g. e.
Yonge, was burned. The cottage was a
neat frame building, valued at $500. on

The pilot boat Swift. the property of
Mr.. Falanta, at Pilot Town, near Jack
sOnville, was blown to sea Monday and
has not been heard of since. The last
seen OF her she was twenty miles from
where she started, going through the
water like fish. She was held opposite
Mayport by two anchors, and the force OF
the wind against the two small masts,
and the rear of the boat drove her through
the ietties without striking either
side and out into the Atlantic ocean.
There was no one on her. The sails and
other paraphernalia were placed inside OF
her. 1t is u serious loss to the owner,
being valued at $500. He is poor man,
and has lately been very unfortunate.

the same time supported his family of
wife and six children without having to
draw on the capital he brought with him
from Indiana.

seen. Lee was presented by one of his
classmates with fifteen fine English guns,
for sharpshooters, and they were drawn
for by his Generals. Gen. Doles drew one
Of them, and selected Mr.. John West to
take charge of it, and he proved himself
worthy of the distinction. BE is still
noted shot,"
The above we copy from the Milledge-
vile Union and Recorder, The statement
is made in connection with the incidents
of the reunion Of the Fourth Georgia Regi-
ment, which took place in Milledgeville
on Aug. II. John West went TO the war
from Twiggs county, and with the gun
referred to is said to have become the
most noted sharp shooter In the army of
the Potomac. His accuracy in sending
the leaden missels of death to the heart of
an enemy at great distances is said
TO have been wonderful, and his steady
nerve, clear eye, and unfiinchng courage
was the doom Of more "Yanks" than he
himself would like TO admit for conscience
sake. He was known among the soldiers
by the sobriquet of 'sKildee." Why the
name was given him we have been unable
to learn, though we suspect thereby
hangs tale. After the war, he returned
to his native county, and has been be-
tween the pillow handles ever since.
he was among the Dattle-scarred veter-
ans of the ''Old Fourth Georgia" at it's re-
union in Milledgeville. He was on hand
early, and as the train rolled in bearing
the veterans of the "lost cause" he was
on hand TO meet them. No one would
have even taken him for a hero, as he
stood among the assembled crowd at the
depot awaiting his former comrades. His
face was sunburnt, tanned and hardened
by exposure; his coat had been laid aside
because IL was StoO hot" his shirt
was made of h0mespun, aud his
pants, shoes and hat were OF the COM
monest material. He looked anything
else but typical hero as he stood among
that gaily-dressed thrOng. and vet be-
meath that homespun shirt beat as brave
and true heart as ever pulsated with
lie. As the train stopped cheer after
cheer rent the air, and the old soldiers
passed out Of the train and met those that
had arrived before them. Amid athe
deafening cheers, wild confusion aud glad
welcomes, some one called out. Where
Is Kildeew "Where is KildeeY' "Where
is hildee" was caught up,a and when he was
found they rushed towards him, threw
their arms around him, laughed, cried and
sobbed, yelled and hurrabed, and did
every other thing else demonstrative OF
JOY and happiness-at once more meeting
him. IL was too much for kildee. ae
WAS choking with emotion, and tears
were streaming down he rough features.
He had no power Of utterAnoe, but sub
mitted 20 the hugging and shaking and
crying and Laughing and yelling and
howdying like o lamb led 10 the slaughter.
He was carried along with them. All
day long be was cryinR and hugging ana
laughing with this small remnant Of his
old regiment. who had met for the first
time In twenty years--probably never 20

SINKING EARTH AT CEDAR KEY.
The Boring of the Artesian Well Inter-
rupted by an Unusual Mishap.

w an UNUSUAL
CEDAR KEY, FLA, Aug. 27.-Capt.
James Mulligan, of Savannah, has been
busy for the past few days driving an
artesian well for the Gulf Ice Company's
ice factory. About noon on Aug. %, at a
depth of 102 feet, the drill passed through
a strata of rock on which he was drilling,
and no bottom has yet been found below
it. The water pumped into the casing to
clear it of chips does not flow over the top
OF the case, as is usual, but finds an out
let at the bottom. Shortly after the break
ing through OF the drill the earth
began cracking and rapidly sinking,
causing stampede among the by
ISLANDERS and great uneasiness as 10 t g
fate OF the derrick, drill and casing, as
the caving in began directly under the
derrick and within a few feet of the fac
tory. The sinking earth extends west
ward along the beach for distance of so
feet. No damage has yet been done, and
at this writing the sinking of the earth is
reported to have ceased.
Capt. Mulllgan was progressing finely
with his contract, notwithstanding several
delays, and was confident of soon being
done, but this mishap may spoil his
chances.
