WashinefOn's Second Inauguration.
The reinaugTation OF Washington took place
on Monday, March 4, 1893, in the hall on Chest
nut street, corner of 5th, Philadelphia, where
Congress then held its sittings. According To an
account written by an eyewitness of the event
o great concourse had been for some time
thronging the vicinity of the hall, when,
promptly at the designated hour, an elegant
white coach, drawn by six superb'white horses
having on its four sides, painted by Cipriani
beautiful designs of the four seasons was seen
approaching in the distance. AS IL drew near
the hall the rush of the multitude was tremend-
Gus. The door of the coach opened III front OF
the hall and two gentlemen, with long white
wands, issued forth and proceeded To open a
passage from the carriage 10 the steps, some two
hundred feet distant. The President followed
amid the rending shouts of the crowd which
continued till he had deliberately mounted the
steps, where, turning, he showed his face TO the
multitude, and then followed the guides, with
their white wands into the hall. On either
side of the broad aisle were seated the members
OF the Senate and House. who arose on his en-
trance and remained standing till he had
passed through the hall and taken the speak
ers' seat upon the platform at the further end OF
the hall. Every portion of the house floor
lobby. galleries, and all approaches were
crowded in breathless silence.
Washington was dressed in q full suit of the
richest black velvet, his lower limbs in short
clothes, with diamond knee-buckles, and black
silk stockings. His shoes. which were brightly
Japanned, were surmounted with large, square

deplore. The continued employment o.
men at less wage creates feeling o.
confidence, and confidence is the one
thing more than all others that is needed
to retain business and loosen the purse
strings of capital.
Two years ago the city had plethora
of building, and when new houses were
all finished the demand for them had
ceased. But there was more than
a cessation of the unusual demand
for houses; there was the demand
fer money due, money whose loan
was secured by mortgages on the
houses built. The demand was met by
many, while many were unable to meet
it, and were compelled to succumb to the
results of flush times. We need not ex-
pect any building boom, nor even gold
boom, but if more men who are able to
do so would make small and needed I'M
provements on their houses and grounds
it would greatly aid matters.

BUILDING.

Around the town number of build.
ings are going up, among them one on
Main street on the property of Mr.. VIM.
Jennings, and one west of the Walker
Opera House being erected by the Walker
Brothers. These are signs which lead to
the belief that the summer viii not pass
away without any improvement in the
city, and without employment for the
people who are dependent upon days
work for many necessaries.
The example of the gentlemen above
named is commendable in these dull
times, and they are doing what should
always be done, when men are wanting
work and willing to do it on almost any
terms, rather than to be idle and earning
nothing, in furnishing work. Many of the
wealthier class too often discharge from
their employment all hands when times
are tightening, although their in
come is inappreciably less, instead of
retaining them and thereby staving
off the business lethargy they themselves

For hours the child slept peace
fully through all the turmoil.
When morning came the sky
was clear, the sun bright and the
birds sang ioyously. The colorod
man who had taken care OF my
horse soon appeared, and after a
bite to eat | started down the road
in hopes to meet my host return
ing with his wife. A mile and a
half from the cabin I found them
both. Whether she had been
struck down by a flash or her life
beaten out by the storm I could
not say. She lay beside a large
rock at the roadside. In the aw-
full darkness he had found her,
butshe was dead. He lay beside
her, one arm partly covering her
face, and in the center of his
forehead was blue-black hole,
from which the blood slowly
oozed. He had shot himself be-
side Mary's dead body. Detroit

A Thoughtful Father.

The Rev. Hugh Gull is still
we'll remembered in Wayne coun-
ty, where he lived for more than
half a century, and died at the adj
vanced age Of 104 years. During
the last four years Of his life he
was afflicted with a sort of hypo-
chondria, and every once in u
while imagined he was dying. On
one such occasion he mounted his
adopted daughter on a horse, and
sent her to notify the members of
his family, who lived at some dis
lance, that his end was near, and
if they desired to see him die they
must come at once. While she
was gone on this errand, he hap
pened to think there was 10 wood
cut and that his children would
be cold when they got to his bed
side, as it was in the middle Of
winter. So, forgetting about his
near approach to death, he got ap
and went to the woodpile, and his
children when they arrived in
haste in obedience to his sum.

Missionaries are scattered all over
the country and they find no
trouble in getting crowds Of the
natives into their churches and

conversion and are enrolled as
Christians, but almost invariably
they go back to idolatry when
they return to their tribes. The

CHIPPING IN FOR RELIGION.
How the Gospel is Sustained in

Form the Pitts5urg Dispatch.
An Episcopal minister, who az
rived in this city a few days ago
from Nevada, where he has baen
doing missionary work for several
years, tells some curious stories OF
people and things in that country.
He spent portion of his time in
Virginia City, and had to look to
the people for his support. Once
week he went among the bust
ness men for contributions. He
took in the saloons and gambling
shops, as we'll, as the banks and
stores. Contributions were gen.
orally on liberal scale, as the
people, though not particularly
religious, thought well OF the
cause, and vowed, one and all, that
they would not let the preacher
suffer. On almost every round lie
received a number of "poker
CHIPS" worth from 81 to IS.
These he would take to the bank,
where they were readily cashed.
Among the saioon-keepers was
a perfect Hercules in statue and
strength. He was~a man OF vio-
lent temper and savage disposi-
ton, and had killed his man. lie
was therefore generally feared.
This man was practically boss of
the town. He sent the preacher
word that he wanted to see him at
his saloon. The preacher went,
and was informed that he could
get from S. to $40 week by call
ing at the saloon for it, and that
it would be taken as an insult if
he refused. The proposition was
promptly accepted, and thereafter,
as long as the preacher remained
in town, he had no better friend
or more liberal contributor than
the burly saloon-keeper. On one
occasion, while in the saloon to
receive his weekly stipend, anoth-
er minister entered and presented
his claims for assistance. The
saloon man refused to gi7e him
anything, saying: "What are you
doing in town, anyhow? [ sup
pose you want to start M opposi-
ton church or something, and get
up a row among us Christians. I'll
tell You why L won't give any
money. You see this man hero?
He's preacher, too. I've just
given him so. We know some
thing about him. He has Bish-
op behind him. IL he don't walk
the chalk I'll just write to the
Bishop and have the preacher
bounced [ have enough iufu-
enGe to do it. You have no Bish-
op and can do as you please"
The informant says it was his
custom while iii Virginia City to
hold religious services in the sa-
looms and gambling dens. He
would go in Sunday morning and
say: "Well, boys, it's about time
to close up. I want to hold meet
ing here. Have you any objec-
tlonsg They never objected, and,
as general thing, conducted
themselves with the utmost pro-
priety during the divine service.

PRIMUS' BALE
Rejected by the Savannah Cotton Ex-
change,

SAVANNAH, Ga, July ~
| Special. Savannah received her
first bale Of the new crop Satur-
day, and in accordance with the
resolution of the national cotton
exchange, adopted July, 1888,
bale Of new cotton shall be
SO classed only when it is fully
matured; that any cotton found in
such bales not fully matured shall
be considered good grounds for
its rejection; that all first new
bales from any State shall be sub
mitted for examination to the COM
mittee of classification at the ex-
change where received, and there
the decision of acceptance or re-
lection shall be final. The COM
mittee on classification, appointed
by the Savannah cotton exchange,
reject, on the above grounds,
bale of cotton, marked p. w. j.,
shipped to Messrs. M. Y. & ID. J.
Mcintyre from Messrs. Wright,
Davis & Co., Albany. The bale
was said to have been grown by
Mr.. Primus w. Jones, Baker
county, Ga. This alleged new
bale was to have been sold at auc-
ton to-day in front Of the cotton

ter the report Of the committee.
It was sold at private sale to P.
D. Daffin for 81 cents per pound.
The Elegant Drunkard of the Senate.
Ben Perley Poore, in the Boston Budget,
Senator McDougall, of Califor-
MIA, was an object Of great inter-
est to strangers who visited the
galleries Of the Senate during the
war. He would come in, when
the session was we'll advanced,
wearing a pair Of riding boots
which reached above his thighs,
and on which were Mexican spurs,
which jingled when he walked
like sleighbells. He was short
and slender, with long gray hair,
short gray whiskers, bleared eyes
and a countenance colored by
whisky. Carrying pair of buck
skin gloves in one hand and a rid
ing whip in the other, he would
go to his seat, take off his rough
top coat, sink into his chair and
soon go fast asleep. When he
left at the close Of the session he
would mount a horse caparisoned
with a Mexican saddle and bride,
covered with silver ornaments
and amble down the avenue to
Wizards hotel where a large del
egatIon of the bootblack brigade
would receive him. and FIGHT for
the honor Of holding his horse.
Yet this erratic drunkard, who
appeared like Don Quixote, was
the most eloquent extemporane-
Gus orator in the Senate, and
made several speeches, when he
could with difficulty stand on his
feet, that could not be equalled by
any of his more temperate associ-
ates.

DAVID DIXON'S WILL.
S25 900 Paid toa College Graduate to
Marry q Mulatt0.
AtheHs Banner Waterman.

AtheRs Banner Watchman.
The Dixon will case,in Hancock
county, is creating considerable
excitement, and most every one in
the county is taking sides one way
or the other. The woman, Fannie
Eubanks, is q mulatto, now living
i'll good style at Augusta. Mr.
Dixon, years ago, offered $25, 900
to any white man who would mar
ry her. A young man named Eu-
banks, a graduate of the universi-
ty of Georgia, concluding that this
was the best and easiest way to
make fortune, accepted Mr.. Dix
on's proposition and took the girl
up North, and they were married
in Boston. At least he brought a
certificate from that place show
ing that they we're legally mar
ried. Euhanks brought her home,
and was well fixed up on one Of
Mr.. Dixon's plantations. He lived
with his dusky bride for several
years, rearing two children by her
Eubanks died several years ago,
and left Fannie a gay and dash
ing widow. Mr.. Dixon brought
her and her two children back to
his home, whore they lived until
he had them fine house built
near his own, and where Fannie
Eubanks and her mother lived un-
til Dixon's death. After his death
and his vault was opened, which
is said to be one of the strongest
in the State, a package of $50, 600
in stocks and bonds was found,
with the Dame of the mother Of
Fannie Eubanks written on it, and
as belonging to her. This amount
was never mentioned in the will
in any manner, and the $4,000
was turned over to the woman by
the executors Of the will. 1t is
claimed by some that the will
ought to be broken on account of
MIR. Dixon having advanced his
brother $4,000 and taking a mort
gage on the land to secure the
money loaned. His brother paid
the $4,000, but had failed to have
the mortgage Cancelled, and died
without taking up the paper, and
as soon as he died Mr.. Dixon came
in with the mortgage and took the
land for the debt. They also
claim that Mr.. Dixon had no right
to give this mulatto woman, al
though she was his child, his land
ed estate amounting to 1900
acres Of the best land in Middle
Georgia, as it will injure those
owning land adjoining. The
mother Of Fannie Eubanks is
very quiet, inoffensive woman, and
when any one of Mr.. Dixon's
friends would visit him she would
wait on his guests and never put
herself forward. She seemed to
recognize the fact that she was
slave. She would often visit Spar
ia to trade, and some of Mr.. Dix
on's friends, to whom she would
bring things from the plantation,
would invite her to dinner. She
would always prefer having her
dinner sent to the kitchen, where
she would cat with the servants.

The storm broke at that mo-
