more or less of it now. The habit seems to be
growing on them. "A good many that didn't

near Atlanta, Ga, and just On The outer edge OF
the confederate earthworks, there stands an old
fashioned log-house of superior style, which has
quite curious history Ii was built in 1885 by
a Cherokee chief, who planted around it large
number of apple e-trees, which are now over sixty
feet high, and bear fruit luxuriantly. As the
whites approached from the south the Indians
were forced North, until between this house
and the site of the present city of Atlanta ran
the line which marked the Cherokee boundary.
In the quaint old house several important con-
ferences took place between the whites and the
Indians Many years later the Indians were
pressed further north, and the old house fell into
the possession of young Scotchman named
George Edwards, who had lived in Philadelnhia
Edwards was of a sentimental turn of mind and
although he had money enough to build a fine
house ne preferred the historic building of which

The subject of the Spanish treaty has not been
hastily acted upon by the executive depart

eration to it. The Secretary of State, ever since

it his attention. The ratification of the Mexican
treaty, and the creation of the South American
Commission. following the Hawaiian treaty,
were regarded by them as an Endorsement by the
legislative branch of the government of the pol
