in the county that bridges on said roads must be
kept in good repair. The commissioners will

George William Curtis.
Gath's New York Special.

Gatns New YORK special.
George William Curtis went past me twice in
a carriage looking little nervous and over
worked, though l think that he has done some
of his writing, particularly in Harpers Magazine.
within the past three months writing in which
his gentleness. not to say effeminacy, of words is
strengthened by a somewhat melancholy yet re-
sisting tone of thought. 1t is pity that man
like this, with public graces should have all his
life shut up in studio. compelled to manufac-
ture certain amount of copy, until you can al
most see the mans Uranium to have become lean
by draughts from the inside of it. His right
the pump-stream, and his head like the poor old
tired and valve diseased pumpstop. The water
that pours out OF him continues to be whole
some, but if we could only put another pump
there one would think that the old effigy it re-
places might be grateful for little quiet. These
public devotons which Curtis is called upon to
fill have further draughts upon his intellectual
life. and the compensation he receives is IN the
public spirit of the act and the very uncertain
appeal for fame.

General Logan's Statement.

deheraI Logan'S statement.
After what have read and heard about the
GeneralI expected to find him in much worse
condition. l don't presume to judge of his con-
dition, but am only speaking of my own i'm
pressions. He has some trouble in speaking,
and expectosates frequently but there is nothing
offensive in the expectoration. l said to him
that was gratifed to find him looking better
than expected, and he replied that he was
better than he had been at times. He talked
with for an hour about his book. our old
battles, and personal matters. l feared that l
might be firing him. and got up and went into
the little room where the stenographer and
copyist were at work. Presently ne came in
there, and sat down to read paper. He reads
the newspapers closely, they tell me. The
swelling on the side of his face, which the papers
tell about, does not show unless he turns the
side toward you. The General goes about the
house without apparent discomfort / was glad
to find him so comfortable and only hope it may
be many years before he leaves us. The General
takes great pride in his book. 1 read some of
the slips, and we talked about the matter His
mind is as clear as bell and his memory I'M
faltering. His physical suffering seems to have
nerved his mind to its best efforts"

To-MorrOw's Election.

Quite an interest has developed in reference
to the election Of school commissioners to-mor-
row. Within the past twenty four hours changes
have been made among the candidates that ma
telially alter the list published yesterday. In
the Tenth district affairs were such that it was
thought advisable to submit the candidates. Of
DR.. A J. Hay and Prof. w. A. Bell to arbitrators,
who should select one of those gentlemen as a
candidate, or some one not before mentioned, the
Doctor and Professor agreeing to abide by the
decision. Each selected ten gentlemen, those
representing DR.. Hay being James McMurry,
Harry Roney, Miles Reynolds, Clay Allen,
John Murray, Richard Smock, j. j.

parties represented The opposing candidate is
Albert L. Beck.
In the First district the race between j. P.

THE TRANSGRESSOR'S WAY.
The Severity Of the Punishment of James
Hardesty, an Amateur COunterfeiter.

! James Hardesty. who was arrested in this
city, last winter, with John Reno on the charge
OF passing counterfeit money, is still in very
feeble health, and will probably never recover
sufficiently to serve his sentence. He was not
hardened criminal, and the disgrace of his arrest
mas preyed upon his mind until it has
wrecked his health. He was a farmer near
Seymour, knowing nothing of the worlds luxu-
ries and living only by the hardest manual labor
He was induced by John Reno to come to this
city to pass some counterfeit bills. He was de-
tected and arrested. His punishment has
already been greater than his transgression. He
had been in Jail only few days when he became
seriously i'll and had to be removed to the City
Hospital He has lain there five months
having passed through severe siege
of typhoid fever and pneumonia,
which has developed into quick consumption.
The physicians think that he cannot. possibly
live longer than few months. He has expressed
desire to return to his home, and upon learn
ing OF the prisoners condition Judge Woods
yesterday issued an order for his release his
own recognizance. He will be taken to his home
to-day. He mourns necessarily over the condi-
ton of his wife and children, who have been
left, since his arrest, without any means of sup
mort

How to Cook the Locust.

Westchester (Pa) Special.
DR.. William d. Hartman astonished a number
of his friends this morning by the announce
ment that he had been living on locusts for some
days. He dug up number yesterday afternoon,
had them fried in butter, and this morning
called on some friends and invited them to par
take of the Lunch. The doctor remarked that it
was necessary to eat half-doZen to get their
flavor and after that they would be eaten with
relish. He called them baby locusts and they
were fresh from the earth They are very
abundant in the surrounding groves, covering
the trees and fences SO thick that they can be
gathered up by the bushel.
When the doctor was asked by your reporter
how he prepared the locusts, he said after gath
ering them from the earth he took them home,
washed them through six courses of pure cold
water until they were perfectly clean, then they
were put into boiling water and boiled some
twenty minutes; after which the legs were re-
moved and the bodies placed in a pan, sea-
soned with pepper and salt and cooked in butter
until they became nice brown color quite
crisp. They are very meaty, he continued, and
have delicious taste. He gave them to a
number of friends to taste, and they all pro-
nounced them excellent.

DIR. Munllali in Atlanta.

Atlanta Constitution.
The meetings conducted by DR.. Munhall in
the Tabernacle which began week ago, with
the largest attendance ever known have de-
veloped into the most astounding result ever
known in Atlanta. DR.. Munhall is the ablest
revivalist that we remember to have seen, and
as an expounder of the Bible he may we'll be
said to be Incompatible. His earnestness and
zeal show plainly his conservation to the work
he has in hand. The singing of Mr.. Willis is an
admirable adjunct to DR.. Munhalls work and ne
divides with the great preacher the sympathies
of the meetings. Mr.. Williss singing approaches
the nature of revelation in its sweetness and
sincerity, and he has made hosts of friends
who will remember his visit with pleasure.
The number of people who have attended these
meetings is from 5000 to 5000. 1t is hard to
estimate the great crowds that assemble.
