me that all the conditions of a HIGH de.

very name, would seem to imply the exy
istence of poverty and want, snot an in.
frequent disease over this entire district.
Indeed, think it is. greatly on the in
crease, for within my recollection the
number of deaths from this cause an
nually has more than quadrupled. And
what is most remarkable to me, is that
this disease seems to increase with the
increase Of wealth and personal com
forts of the people. In my experience
it is not the poor that suffer most from
consumption, but the rich, and Of the
rich it appears to single out our Oldest

ishes in the high peaked hat; the fur
trimmed, tight-fitting jacket shows Mary
with waist as trim as Lady Betty's
and the dress-improver of the maid is as
hideous, as monstrous, and as much sas
they wear it now in the one as in the
other. No maid who respects herself
would be seen without gloves of four but
tons; and her umbrella has the newest
handle as her parasol is Of the newest
pattern. She dresses herself as near to
her model-her mistress or the young
ladies-as she can; iust as those of the
middle class dress themselves as near to
the pattern set by the duehesses and
IcounteSses seen at the races or flower
shows. It is all human nature alike !:
and we show no more reason in con-
demning these vanities in servants than
we have IN condemning the bridesmaids
wife when she wears fur which, few
centuries ago, was reserved only for the
aristoeracy, and WotItl have been a mis-
demeanor had burgher's wife dis
played it. The only valid objections to
any kind of dress, or any kind of ma
terial, are to be found in want of decency,
convenience, fitness for the work that
has to be done, or te9tgreat eostliness for
the known income. This last objection
is almost entirely done away with by
reason of cheap limitations. A servant
maid could not afford a velvet gown out
OF her wages E; but she can compass a
velyeteen, which her mistresses do not
dlsdain to wear. She cannot buy SUI
perb ostrich feathers all of one piece

up OF odds and ends, and look, to all but
experts, as good as the best. She can

get dyed rabbit skin, dyed cat, dyed

pose OF warmth and smartness. And
the ladies have no right to Aout the base

things, which generation ago would

A writer in the London Queen. re-


viewing the situation as regards domes-
tic service, says: There is nothing IT.
renediable in this servant trouble.
Ladies have only to take the thing
boldly and nationally, and allow for the
changes of feeling, habit and relation
which have come about of late years.
The fashion of the times has relaxed the
sineWs Of all discipline; made society
more individualized and less closely or
gained; and has introduced a love of
change, movement which has gone down
to the very lowest strata Of society. tits
OF no use to ignore this change or to
fight against it. It is, and we show the
most wisdom when we most candidlv &C
cept the thing that is, and most courage
ously modify our own habits to harmon
ize with fact. In attempting to retain in
the kitchen the close domest1city and
rigid discipline which was once part of
the lite OF the whole house-kitchen and
Parlor Indifferent we break our heads
against stone wall, and are ourselves
the only sufferers. We have to order
our houses in harmony with the spirit Of
the times; and to remember that domes-
tic servants are not a race apart, but that
they, too, are influenced BY all the Cir
cumStanceS of the enormous revolution
brought about by cheap printing, cheap
postage, cheap manufactures, and in
creased facilities for locomotion. Also,
that they resent. and will not not sub
NIT to, the sumptuary laws abolished
tor all others, but still retained in nart
for them.
This means specially the maids. The
men still wear the livery and the dis
tlngulshlng button without pang to
their pride; but even they repudiate
distinguishing marks, and from mus
taches to button-hoIes, adopt all the
fashions OF their masters without rebuke
and with sometimes embarrassing sue
cess in imitation. The cap, the black
afternoon gown and white apron, more
or less coquettishIy bibbed and berib-
Ooned, are the utmost in the way of

A sTUPENDoUs PROJECT.
Ten Million Dollars Required-A Gorge
GUS Hotel.

From the So. augustine tF'Jd0 Press.
Another stupendous enterprise is an
nounced which, when completed, will
throw the San Marco and the Ponce de
Leon SO entirely in the background that
neither of them will rank higher than
second class hotels. The new project
which is to be inaugurated ls the pur-
chase OF the entire tract on the west bank
of the st. Sebastian river, taking in all of
the river bank from the TOcOi railroad.,
skirting the river for distance of nearly
three miles north, and embraces an area
of nearly two miles from the river front
west. and in its boundary en-
closes between 1000 and l,2OO acres
of ground. This land is well adapted to
building and other Improvements, there
being a gradual slOping grade from tue
west to the river which will be of immense
value for sanitary purposes III giving a
positive and permanent drainage TO the
river. The 1000 acres are to be cleared
ana laid out into parks, groves, and arti-
fetal lakes. A boulevard is to De created
all along the river front, and keeping on
the border line of the tract westerly
and southerly, thereby giving a grand
| 50-fOot boulevard drive OF nearly
Cen miles. The smaller marsh islands
on the river are to be removed to raise
and make solid ground for other larger
Islands, which will be Systematically
arranged and located in various parts of
the river, and to supply the material for
filling in and making the boulevard on
the edge OF the river. The river is to be
damned Just above the railroad track,
thus transferring the river into four
mile lake, which will give magnificent
sheet OF water for yachting, boating and
! fishing. The hotel, which is to besbuilt of
! cOquina and cement and will contain 1900
rooms. is to be located at the beautiful
grounds connected with the famous
! Ponce de Leon spring, from which So
foot road will he opened to the river,
across which will be thrown a suspension
bridge 300 feet span terminating a short
distance south from Genoyar's grove.
Another suspension bridge will be thrown
across the river, connecting with the
| street between the San Marco Hotel and
| Kaowlton residence. We have thus far
only given a faint outline OF this grand
undertaking. Our readers can form
/ from it the grandeur and
magnifcence which the completion
Of such an enterprise will produce. We
have only been permitted to see the plan
in the substance. When all the plans are
completed in detail we have been prom
ised complete transcript and drawings
for publication. The estimated cost ol
the entire work, buildings, grading drain.
ing, drives, groves, ETC., will not De far
from 100000. 1t Is estimated that
after these improvements are made the
value of lots for winter homes will pro
duce more than the original cost OF the
entire undertaking.

THE GuBERNAToR1A1+ RACE.
What the Press Says About y,

From the Albany Neaos aud A4gsTSdserso' =
The race for Governor is now between
Gen. Gordon and Hon. A. o.. Bacon, IL q
is not probable that any one else WALL en-
ter the canvass, and the peopleof Georgia
are expected to make their choiee1 OF a
Governor from these two men, The ops
posing candidates will make thorough
canvass of the State, and the campaign
promises to be a lively one. -. ,
From the MddisOnid..
The contest is now narrower down TO
Bacon and Gordon, and we belieXe that
Bacon will be nominated by ahandsome
majority. The Madisonian has eSpouseu
Mai. Bacon's cause, ever since Gov. COR
outfits last gubernatorial term, and has
labOred with all its power ana zeal TO
place him where it honestly beleVes the
majority of the people of Georgia desired
him, in the executive office OF the state.
This it snail continue to do until the con-
vention shall have assembled and noml-
mated the candidate.
From Me Rome Daily CoUrier.
Gen. Gordon's proposition that primary
elections are the best mode OF ascertain
ing the preference of the people between
candidates, meets our hearty approval.
AS regards the three or four counties that
have already appointed delegates 10 the
| State Convention, it may be inapplicaDle
now because IL mlgnb lehu 10 cOutSsbo oHN
divisions, but in its general application
the proposition is certainly fair one.
From, the Rome Daily Bultsttn.
Whatever may be said against Gen.
Gordon's railroad career, the fact that he
retired from politics poor man is SUI
feient answer to those who charge him
with corruption in public service. IL Is
| to be hoped then that SANDER will not be
used as a weapon against him. The
wisest OF his opponents think they have
better weapons, and they will doubtless
use them.
From the Columbus FaQuirer-SsH.
Gen. Gordon has as much right to be
candidate as any other man, and like any
one else he must stand or fall on his mer'
its. Ii a majority of the people OF the
State desire to see him nominated, who IS
there to say nay? And the same rule IN
each and every particular applies to Maj
Bacon. 1t should be fair open contest,
and he who is esteemed most worthy
should be the nominee, and all men. like
the candidates have declared to do, should
abide the consequences with good grace
