THE GRANT AND WARD PROsECU-
TIONs.-The indictment of Warner and
Work conformity with Ward by the
United States grand jury for cOnspiring
to defraud the Marine National Bank
and General Grant leads to the hope
that one phase of this gigantic steal,
which so far has escaped legal inquiry,
will now get an airing. Ward and
Fish have already been convicted and
are serving out their sentences for de-
frauding the bank and other creditors
out of large sums of money. So far,
however, none of the money has been
found, although it has been shown that
Warner got nearly two millions in
money and real estate. The trial of
Warner and Work ought to throw some
light on this very interesting question.
Ward has said that the lost millions
ought to be fOund-that he has none of
the mOney-but that if everybody who
got more than the principal of their in
vestment and six per cent. interest was
compelled to disgorge there would be
enough to pay the real liabilities of the
bankrupt firm. IfWard is of the same
opinion still and is given a chance to
tell what he knows on the trial of his
cO-conspirators he should be able tC
throw a good deal of light on this part
of the subject. 1t will be worth the
while of those having charge of the
prosecution and of these new cases Il
give him chapce at least,

The PRESIDENT WAS PLEASED
Among the crowd at the White House
the other day was an old man called
Deacon Richard Smith. He shook the
Presidents hand heartily, and said:
I am SO years of age, and am glad
to see you"
"How many Presidents have you
seen, Deacon?' asked Mr.. Cleveland.
Every one since Madison" replied
the Deacon.
did you see Washington ?" asked
the President.
No, sir" said the old man.
"Well, it is refreshing" said the
President, "to see an old colored man
who has neversee George Washington.
Sure you did not nurse him."
No, sir; neber saw him."
The President laughed as he shook
the old man goodbye.
As the Deacon was leaving the room
some one asked him: Are you q
Democrat or a Republican, Deacon ?'
Z" am a Baptist sir !"

About three years ago there was es-
tablished in Southern California an Os-
trich farm. The owners imported
twenty-five birds. They now have
forty and consider the industry we'll
established. The hens average fifteen
eggs to a setting, set six weeks and are
expected to hatch out three brOods in
a year. At a week old, the chicks are
as large as good sized turkeys, and at
sixteen months old are six feet high
and furnish beautiful feathers.

The British expedition againt King
Theebaw, of Burmah has met with very
little resistance and is now within less
than fifty miles of Mandalay, the Bur-
mese capital. 1t is evidently the in
tention of England to make Burmah a
British possession. The Burmese gov
ernment imported its supply of ammu-
milton in meat and fruit cans and the
supply of fire arms was imported as
agricultural machinery. This was
done to lull British suspicion.

Give the Indian to the army,

Give the Indian to the army,
Give the red man to the soldier
Then shut off his fire water;
Tell him that the bar-rOOm's nowhere;
Tell him he must hoe potatoes,
Put in wheat and be a swineherd,
Teach his maidens butter-mRking,
Pie construction, roller skating;
How to wear new Fall bonnet;
How to don the gorgeous sealskin;
Tell him that, if he'd a dude be,
He must have cane and NOW some,
Tell him that the daily papers
He must read that he may know more
More about his wife's dear mother,
More about politics, and so forth,
Thus the Indian, thus the red man
Shall become a noble pale-face.

When all the Autumn leaves were pressed
Signs from the maiden's bosom came;
Her heart with sorrow was OppreSt,
For life was now without an aim.
But, as one pleasure takes its flight,
Another comes, and griefs asSuaged;
The maiden has new delight
In horticulture she's engaged.
The upright grand no more she plays.
The banjo's strings no more she thrums,
Enraptured by the latest craze
She cultivates chrysanthemums

Prohibition for Atlanta.
THE COLD-WATER PEOPLE CARRY Full.
TON COUNTY, GA, BY 219 MAJORITY.

After the most exciting election ever
held in the state, Fulton county We'd
nesday adopted Prohibition by ma
jority of about 219 out of poll of 5000.
All day long the best of humOr pre-
vailed, and the leaders .Of both sides
were active in taking up all bets offer
ed.
One man had $4,000 in the pot CON
tingent upon the success of prohibition.
The City Hall was surrounded all day
by over 5000 persons. AS night drew
near it became evident that the con-
test was a hand to hand affair, and
runners were sent out in all directions
to bring in the halt, the lame and the
blind. There are twelve precincts in
the county, only two of which are in
the city. The vote in the county pre-
cincts gave prohibition a majority of
545. North Atlanta gave prohibition a
majority of eleven votes out of poll
of 25OO.
This left only one precinct to hear
from, South Atlanta, at which there
was a poll of over 5000. I twas known
to be an anti-Prohibition stronghold,
and all day the wet men claimed it by
a majority of 700, the PrOhibitionists
cOnceding it by 400. Thus, when it
was known that the ProhibitiOnists
came to this precinct with a majority
of $50, the utmost enthusiasm prevailed
in the city. If the Prohibition conces-
| sion was sustained it would give the
county to the dry men by a majority OF
! $50. and if the claim of the wet men
proved true it would go wet by 150
| Everything depended on this precinct
and thousands of men collected around
it. When it was announced that il
had gone wet by a majority of only $50
! the most intense enthusiasm prevailed
This gave the PrOhibitiOnists the cOun-
ty by a majority of 2l9 and the great
fight ended with a Prohibition victory
The city is in a state of the widest
excitement. The PrOhibitiOnists de-
clare that not until the state is abso
lutely Prohibition territory will the
fight be stopped. Already instruction:
have been sent out to the leaders il
the county to see that all candidate.
for the state legislature, for governor
for Congress and all other Offices should
be pledged to Prohibition. This push
ing of the Prohibition question into thu
active politics of the state has created
unbounded excitement in all sections
The PrOhibitiOnists openly declar,
their purpose of only standing by tn,
Democracy in so far as the party make
itself a Prohibition party. Cheers 70
St. John are heard on all sides. If
national election were to take plac
this week the state would vote the pro
hibitiOn ticket. The negroes are al
actively committed to prohibition an,
go arm in arm with their white allies

BRITAIN BOLTS BURMAH.-The En-
glish Government seems to take it for
granted that Burmah has been beaten,
since governing officials were sent from
London to take charge of Burmah, as
if it were already annexed.
This action, coupled with Lord Duff
ferin's ultimatum," 90 to show that
Great Britain has all along intended to
bolt Burmah bodily just as soon as a
pretext, no matter how flimsy, could
be found.
The new territory that Great Britain
has now acquired is one of the richest
spots on the earth, and one of the
most unsettled. 1t is estimated that
there is room in Burmah for thirty mil
lion farmers, petroleum, coal and iron
abound, and it is the home of the sap
phire and the ruby. The soil only
needs to be tickled in order to smile
with a bOuntiful crop. More than this,
the annexation of Burmah gives Eng
land a ready outlet for the overflow OF
her Indian population and ready access
to China. Altogether Burmah is a
splendid prize for England to grab so
easily.-PhiLGdelphiG Daily NeiOs.

The Prohibition Factor in Politics.

If the Republican leaders in New
York could have prohibited the Prohi-
bitiOnists from casting their twenty
five thousand votes for St. John in
1884 and compelled them to vote for
Blaine, the magnetic candidate would
have been elected President. But the
PrOhibitiOnists voted for st. John, de-
feated Blaine and elected Cleveland.
Instead of being ashamed of that piece
of work and going back into the Re
publican party in sackcloth and ashes,
the cOld-water advocates have repeated
their offence in 1885, with the addi-
tional aggravatiOn of making the vote
upwards of thirty thousand.
1t does not need much of a mathema-
tician to see that the Prohibitionists of
New York may hold the balance of
power between the two parties. Had
Davenport received the Prohibition
vote at the late election he would have
beaten Hill by nearly twenty thousand
majority, instead of being beaten by
nearly twelve thousand. If the Prohi-
bitiOnists can 60 on adding to their
numbers five or six thousand voters
annually, as they have been doing for
INC IdSJ lew years, Juc time IS not Tar
off when the old political parties in
that State must begin to ask what is to
be done about it,
1t will not be wise for the Democrats
of New York to chuckle at the PrOhi-
bitiOn detection and assume that it is
only intended to hurt the Republican
party. The Democrats of Ohio made
that mistake this Fall and landed
themselves in the saloon keepers camp
only to find that they had driven
enough temperance Democrats to vote
the Prohibition ticket to insure a good
round Republican plurality. In New
York the temperance detection de-
feated the Republicans; in Ohio it just
as clearly defeated the Democrats
The result in both States indicates that
the temperance movement has become
a power in other States besides Kansa:
and Iowa, and that it will hurt bOtt
the old parties alike, according to the
policy they pursue.-PhiLadeLphic

The Parlor of Our Fathers.

The following description of the fur
nishing of q room a century ago is
taken from one of the recently re-
printed stories of Edmund Quincy:
The walls were paneled in oak, with
gilt moulding, now a little tar
nished. Between the two windows Op-
posite was a large mirror framed in
mahogany, with gilt scOnses for lights.
Under it was table covered with a
rich Turkey rug, which was well piled
with books and papers, and beneath
which appeared a couple of small
globes. The closed window shutters
were well nigh concealed, as well as the
high window seats of oak, by the de-
pending folds of the crimson damask
curtains. Between the two windows
on my right hand was a card table OF
mahogany, black with time, clasping
heavy balls in its clawed feet.
On the side of the room opposite to
the card-table was a most luxurious
easy chair-a fit cradle for declining
age-and a fOot-stOOl. both covered
with chintz, protecting the crimson
| damask. which on occasions of impOr.
tance was revealed to match the cur
tains. In the nook on the side of the
fireplace was a secretary, its looking
| glass doors opening over what seemed
to be chest of drawers, but whicl
when drawn out, formed a wrting-desl
with pigeOnholes innumerable. AbOv,
the loOking-glass doors were thre,
smaller drawers, the inner one will
