"There has never been man in public life
50 anxious TO get his pictures in PRINT as eX-
secretary RObesOn," said an old friend of the
eX-Secretary to-day. He enjoyed Puck's
carlcatures of himself, and was especially
pleased that the pictures looked so much like
himself. The artist seemed to get hold of
RoDesOn's characteristic expressions, and
bring them out so vividly that the party rep
resented was readily recognized. | once
heard the eX- Secretary ga that there was not
man IN Congress who would not give $50 to
get ms picture in some paper. A New York
illustrated paper once sent a representative to
Washington to secure pictures of public men,
and their consent to thelI publication. lie had
no trouble in the least. He stood at one of the
entrances to the House floor, sent IN cards,
and man after man came ont ready to give
his picture, consent, biographical sketch, and

The Georgia Bar Association.

The interest in the meetings of the
Georgia Bar Association will increase
from year TO year. The meeting this year
takes place at Atlanta on Aug. 8 and
6. A very interesting programme has
been arranged, as will be seen by refer
ence to another column.
1t is worthy of notice that since the inn
preston got abroad that President Cleve-
land received the favorable impressions
which he entertains of Hon. f. j. Phelps,
our Minister to England, and Gen.
Lawton, who was the first choice for
the Russian mission, at meeting of the
Bar Association of New York, the repre-
sentative character Of these associations
has commanded very general attention.
There is not, as is very well known, any
political feature connected with the work
of the associations. Their aim is simply
the elevation of the profession and the
improvement ofthe laws.
The Georgia association ranks high
among the associations Of the country,
aud it is steadily increasing in influence.
This year the annual address, it is an
nounced, will be made by Gen. Roger A B.
Pryor. of New York. There will also be
read papers on interesting subjects by
gentlemen eminent in the profession.

Judge virgins Scheme for State
Banks.

1t is hardly probable that this Legisla-
ture will give much attention to Judge
Wrights memorial which embodes a
scheme for the establishment Of banks in
this State under general banking law of
the State. The memorial, however, will
have the effect of calling attention
to this matter, and a future Legislature
may discuss it. There Is some reason
for thinking that the desire for State
banks Of circulation is not very general.
Those who remember the State banks as
they existed before the war will hardly
view return to them with UNI
mixed pleasure. Then everybody felt
sort of necessity for carrying around a
bank note detector, and even with the
detector's help there was always great
uncertainty about the genuineness ana
value of paper currency. In fact, the pa
per currency of that period was sort Of
a nuisance, and like nuisance would be
welcomed gladly only by those who hoped
TO make it profitable.
IL is true that the national banking
system has Objectionable features, but,
all things considered, IL is by all
odds the best the country
has ever had. 1t can easily be made to
meet the wants OF every part Of the cOun-
try. Nowadays any one who receives
paper currency, in large or small sums,
seeks only to know that the amount Is
right. No time is wasted over n bank
note detector. We would much rather
see certain desirable changes in the
national banking laws, looking to making
the national banking system permanent,
than 10 see "A general state banking law

Monkeys WreckiDg Railroad Trains.
Hmm fha NLHrra Nil

Between a place called Niddivunda and
Herebully there is large tOpe, which is we'll
known to be infested with a host of monkeys.
Having no other mode OF occupying their dull
hours, they are bent upon trying to destroy
the Gumkur line. 1t would appear that these
animals, about fifty or sixty, form Themselves
INTO two patches; they range themselves sys-
tematically, one half on one rail and the other
half on the other. They begin by first rem0v-
ing the earth from the sides of the rails. Then
they arrive at the difficulty of nuts and bolts.
which, though they examine them very
mlnuteiy, they cannot get over.
On the approach of the up or down train
they wait Till the engine Is within few yards
then, with the utmost GOODNESS, they simply
jump on one side till the train has passed, and
when resume their work. A remarkable In
stance occurred on one of these occasions. As
the engine was approaching, the monkeys
made their usual jumps. with the exception
of one, who persisted in remaining on the line,
the engine by this time being very near.
Five or SIN monkeys seeing the danger one of
their number was in, made sudden rush and
dragged HIM on, some laying hold of him BY
the TAIL, others by the legs; anyhow. they
saved him. They are now styled the Niddi-
vunda gangmen by the guards and drivers.
