the ears of the Atlanta Journal that she was
still alive, and being on the alert for news a
reporter was sent to the residence to learn all
the facts. Miss Belle Dunaway. who had been

1t has been discovered that the bill
proposing an amendment to the COM
stitution making the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquor in the
state unlawful is unconstitu tionai.
The bill was passed by the senate and
house but, it is said, was not read
through several times on separate
days in the senate as the constitution
directs. The discovery has created
considerable excitement on the part Of
the temperance people, who believed
they were about to secure the end fol
which they have been working fol
years.

IS IT A LIE q?

Some one said that potash was a poison:
Who makes the assertion except those who de-
sire to mislead and hu nbug you? He who de-
nounces other remedies as FRAUDS, is quietly
offering vile compound of his own-beware
of all such.
Ask your physician or your druggist If pot
ash produces all the horrors claimed for it by
those who are compelled to traduce other pre-
partitions in order to appear respectable them
selves. We claim that potash properly com
bined with other remedies makes the grandesi

claim that B. B. B is that remedy.

Training Race Horses.

If the diary of some old trainer could
be brought to light to compare with an
ordinary training report for morning
in these days there would be changes in
the character of representations. 1t
would be very useful, also, in deciding
several questions as to the merits of
modern race horses in comparison with
those of our forefathers. 1t is said that
horses used to stay better than they do
now, and such champions as Bening-
borough, Hambletonian,O rville, Tramp,
etc., are spoken of as altogether
harder race than the horses of the pres
emit day. 1t is forgotten, however, that
the preparations they necessarily re-
ceived were of kind to fit them to go
over a distance of ground, though it
must have been at certain pace, as
trained as our horses are at the present
day races could not be won under all
the disadvantages experienced by the
Rncients.
If it was announced that Harvester
was going to walk from Newmarket to
EPSON to meet his engagement for the
Derby, he would go back to an outside
price, as the feat would be deemed i'm
possible; eat that would have been
thought an easy journey less than fifty
years ago, and the question may well
arise as to how it was done from the
North of England to EPSON before rail-
way times. John Scott must have
brought st. Giles down the whole way
by road from Nation to win the Derby
of 1882, as the lines to the North were
not opened for some years later. We
know the great Northern trainer brought
his team Of horses down some little time
before the meeting, and he had another
place at Pigburn, near Doncaster, but
there was all the same a pedestrian
journey to be performed at a time
thought in these days most critical in
the period of preparation. The horse
van, which was subsequently utilized a
great deal, was comparatively modern
Invention, and it certainly did not exist
during the first fifty or sixty years of
the Derby, so the competitors from afar
must have been walked down on the
roads. This must have been training
itself Of q certain description, and #
doubtless left the idea for many years
.hat a good deal of walking was neces-
sary to get race horse fit. Trainers
not long passed away used to consider
two or three hours walking exercise .

sine qua non, and this was to be twice

sine qua non, and this was to be twice
Ia day.
Ali this has been changed. Long
walking and long sweats have been dy-
ing out in favor of sharp gallops over
shorter distances, andqnite revolution
has taken place in the training of race
horses. greyhounds, and athletes. Il is
argued by the modern school that the
fastest runners mostly spring from shoe
makers, tailors, or artisans who are
pretty well confined all day, but steal
time to exercise their running abilities
for short spells mornings and evenings.
Such men as these can always beat
gamekeepers, postmen, or Others of like
vocations demanding much walking,
and it would be maintained that there
must be loss of speed where the dura-
ton of muscular effort is continued. A
sort of stationary condition like hunter
must have represented the fettle of old
Derby winners, and good pipe opener
a day or two before the race was con-
sidered the most essential part of the
final preparation.
There are some curious accounts of
the early journeys of race horses to meet
ings. Orton's Turf annals gives one
of the famous John Singleton, who be-
gan life in no very luxurious way, as his
father was laborer at four pence day.
Rising from boy to clean the boots to
the stable, he lived with very needy
gentleman called Read, who bred few
race horses. AS Singleton increased in
Importance in the eyes of his master
they entered into schemes together, and,
as money was badly wanted, toward the
end Of a season young Singleton started
off with a filly called Lucy from Pock-
lington to Morpeth, distance one
hundred and twenty miles, with but
ten and sixpence in his pocket.
The lad was groom, trainer and jockey.
Sore beset at saddling timely roughs
and busy-bodies-a friendly butcher
turned UP to give helping hand, and
the race was run and won, and several
others besides, in continuing the trip.
Great trainers were wont to take expe-
ditions of this sort at a much later date.
Old John Day rode Little Red Rover
from Stockbridge to Plymouth in 1888
to win the Saltram Stakes and another
race the same day. He reached his
journeys end two days before the meet.
ing, and the next morning sportsman,
who is alive now, led him q gallop on q
hunter that could race bit round the
Plymouth course. Old John probably
stopped on the road at his friend Mr..
Wreford's but any way Little Red Rover
must have travelled close on three
hundred miles there and back to win
two races. / wonder how he went to Ep-
som when he ran second in the Derby to
Priam! But it was odd training, to re
gard it from the point of view we take
of such matters in these days.-BeWs

Southern Enterprise.

1t is gratifying to see that the ex-
hibits of the Southern States at New
Orleans are attracting great deal OF
attention from Northern and Western
visitors, because they show some
thing that has not been very general
ly recognized, viz: 'That the indus
tries of the South are becoming
greatly diversified.
In the Northern mind the impress
sion is strong that the South pays
attention to little else than cotton,
sugar and rice. The Southern ex-
hibits, however, correct this impress
sion, and show that, prominent as
these products are in the South,
there are other sources of wealth
which promise in few years to bring
the South much greater riches than
are obtained from cotton and sugar.
The extent of the mineral wealth of
the South is not generally known or
understood. Not long ago the coal
used in the Southern cities was
brought from the North. The South
now produces her own coal.
Her growth in manufacturing has
been marvellous. She has over mil
lion of spindles now. The age OF
iron ships has come, and why should
not the ship be built where the cheap
est iron can be obtained. The visi-
tor at the exposition who sees what
great and varied sources of wealth
the South has returns to his home
with very different idea of the flu
ture of the South than which he
previously entertained.
It must be remembered that this
is the first time that the South has
attempted complete exhibition o.
her wealth. She was hardly known
at the Centennial, and made but ,
partial exhibit at either Atlanta OF
Louisville fairs. It is evident tina
q great industrial revolution is goins
on throughout the South, a revolu
ton which will be attended with tn,
most remarkable results.

The Worlds Exposition.

Last week while at New Orleans
we, of course, visited the Worlds
Exposition. 1t is very appropriately
named, for here we see every portion
of the civilized globe represented;
also, some portions that are not civil
lied. Here the visitor can see the
grandest and finest collection of ex-
hibits ever made in the history of
Worlds Fairs. A magnificent dis
play of products from the entire
commercial world. The.farmer, the
merchant, the mechanic, the student,
the scholar, the scientist, the artist,
the author, and every one interested
in the products of the earth or of the
sea, can here find food for reflection,
thought and wonderment at human
ingenuity and the progress of science
and of art. The student of Nature
can ever find something new in this
magnificent collection. Like kalei-
doscope, the figures remain the same,
but each turn presents new objects
to the view and makes the sight ever
pleasing.
At this Expositionis seen the lead
ing and principal products, mauufac-
lures, inventions, &c, of every coun-
try from the extreme West to the
extreme Orient-including curios
from the Holy Land and curiosities
made by the red men of the Wild
West. We here see q world in min
iature-a sight never before present.
ed in such magnitude, and one which
none should fail to see. It is a South
ern enterprise; gotten up by South,
ern men to benefit the people of the
South, and it should be visited by
the Southern people. By this Expo
sition the South, and Louisiana es-
pecially, has been more extensively
advertised than ever before. b.
this, the world, generally, and The
other sections of the Union especial
ly, have learned what the South il
and what are her resources. It viii
have the effect of advancing the
South at least generation in growth
and in prosperity; and, ina few years
we may hope to see this beloved sec.
ton of ours as prosperous and as
happy as in the peaceful days before
her smiling fields and valleys were
Crimsoned with fraternal blood.

Reform Through Education.

The Missouri Legislature is dis
cussing bill which proposes that
the evils of acohol and nicotin shall
be part of the practical instruction
in the public schools. This is q SEN
sible idea which should spread to
other States. Nobody doubts or de-
MES the evils directly resulting from
the Incorporate use of intoxicating
drinks. These evils are everywhere
evident-in impoverished and blasted
homes, in ruined men and women, in
jails and almshouses, in the poverty
and crime directly due to the use or
abuse of rum.
And all good citizens win rejoice
at and join in any feasible plan for
the diminution or removal of these
evils. But the trouble is that most
of the measures proposed are misdi-
rected or insufficient. It is found
that sumptuary laws will not suppress
the evils they propose to correct
No law can make people virtuous.--
But what cannot be forced into an
individual or the public can be edu-
Gated and instilled into the young OF
both sexes at home and in the public
schools.
The Missouri Legislature begins
at the right end. If the young gen.
Grafton can be brought up to believe
in the evils and horrors resulting
from the free use Of rum, its use will
not be so free in the future. In this
way what refcrmers vainly attempt
to accomplish by law may come about
naturally in due time through popu-
lar education.

The "RascaIs Must Co."

There was no more popular senti-
ment at Chicago during the session
of the Democratic Convention than
that ''the rascals must CO." This in
spired honest men all over the land,
Democrats and Republicans, to work
for the election of Grover Cleveland
during the campaign. Thousands of
Republican ice-holders contributed
money to defeat his election, simply
because they believed that if Cleve-
land was elected they would have to
go. This was the leading issue in
the campaign, and the triumphant
election of Grover Cleveland was it's
endorsement.
Now what do we hear? Since Mr..
Cleveland has given to the public his
famous civil service letter the Repub-
icans claim to have much greater re-
spect for the President, and do not
hesitate to assert that he will so carry
out the spirit of his letter SO as to
keep all Republicans in Office. The
Democrats are told that the old poll
cy that ''to the victors belong the
spoils" has played out, and all Re-
publican office-holders have become
exceedingly virtuous, and are wild in
their support of civil service reform
since the success of the Democratic
party.
Among some of the most clamor-
Gus for a strict enforcement of the
present civil service rules are to be
found those who have been hereto
fore conspicuously suspected of all
kinds Of schemes to plumber theg gov
eminent. All the influences around
Washington that have heretofore
made the Republican party odious
by corrupt practices, and which have
succeeded in planting their pimps
and hirelings in official position, are
now enthusiastic in their demand for
a rigid enforcement of the civil SER
vice laws.
We hope they will be doomed to
disappointment. We have heard of
no expression from President Cleve-
land that leads us to believe but that
'the rascals must CO." This is ex-
pected of him by all of those who
elevated him to Office, and he will
fail to do his duty if he does not i'm
mediately set at work to the cleaning
out Of the "Augean stables" of Re-
publican misrule.
