TIE Brooklyn Union is displeased with
what it calls the partisan attitude taken by
Mr.. Roach in explaining the cause of his
financial failure As we understand it, Mr..
Roachs misfortune is due not to his attitude,
but to the offensive partisanship of Secretary
Whitney and Attorney general Garland.

MISS BESSIE MAYBURN, of Centralia, ILL.,, has
succeeded in advertising herself in very unen-
viable light. A few weeks ago she put her ad
dress on a card and put it in the bottom of a
basket of berries, among thousands of others
being shipped to market. The card impudenty
solicited correspondence with any young man
who might come across it, and described the
writer pretty, 'daisy skater" etc, showing
the writer to be silly, frivolous girl The note
fell into the hands Of man who was not caught
by her brilliant proposition, and he handed it to
paper for publication. This as might
have been expected, brought to her quite
number of letters from young men more or less
sincere. The daisy skater" of Centrala then
added meanness to her frivolity and published
the letters with the names of the writer's. Miss
Bessie Mayburn may think she is smart, and
smart she is, but she is remarkably deficient in
every element of modest womanhood She has
repulsed the suitors she mpu iently invited. 1t
is doubtful if any be foolish enough to approach
her again.

Mr. GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND lately met a
Southern man Of wide acquaintance and great
frankness," who informed him that the South
would never develop into arich country, because
the soil is too poor to be worth manuring, and
instanced the white clay soil of South Carolina
an example. The editor of the Charleston
News and Courier, having read this slur upon
his native State comes back at the author and
the authors interviewer with the assertion that
there is 40 clay soil in South Carolina, save the
beds of kaolin, which deposit is shipped to the
North every day in large quantities, where it is
sold by the pound to take the place of sugar in
certain food preparations, and which is, there
fore, observes the Courier, with some asperity
probably not less valuable in the long run, than
other soils sold by the acre. As the matter now
stands honors may be considered easy between
Gath" and the Southern editor.

at from $4,000 10 100000. They are in-
sured for $2l4,00O on the stock and fix

ATLANTA, April 3.-The retail grocery
men of Atlanta are about to wage war
against the wholesale grocery dealers of

are selling goods at retail TO their friends,
and. in some instances, to the public gen.
orally. The retailers say that they will
not olerate such proceedings, and that
unless stopped they will discontinue to
patrOnize the wholesale houses of the
city. A meeting VIII be called in a few

form some plan of self-defense. The
trouble is similar to the one recently met
in Macon and settled TO the satisfaction of
the contending elements.
