Gould in the South.

Mr.. Jay Gould spent Friday last in
Charleston, S. c., and left Saturday
with his family on his fine yacht the
ATLANTA for Jacksonville and other
Southern points. Being asked while
in Charleston what he thought oG the
present condition of the South and its
future prospects, Mr.. Gould replied :
swell, the South IS moving ahead,
and its growth is steady. / see an
improvement every time / come this
way. tits steady, healthy progress,
more marked, j think, further west,
where the soil is richer and immigra-
ton is larger than it is here; but l
don't see that there is anything to
stand in the way of the fullest devel-
opment of this section of the country.
You are not growing too fasty but
your progress is substantial and sure"

The Congressional Sessions.

SenatorHoar, of Massachusetts,, has
introduced bill fixing the time for
the meeting Of Congress in 1886, and
every second year thereafter, On the
first Monday in October instead of
December as now, and in 1887 and
in every second year thereafter, on
the second Monday in November.
1t is thought that by thus adding
from 2 to three months to the session
Of Congress, the business of the coun-
try can be properly attended to. The
fact that 5000 bills have already been
introduced, makes apparent the
necessity for Congress to do some
thing more than it has done in the
past to enable it to act on the business
before it.

Athens Post: The average citizen
will set down and talk scholarly and
wisely about the Importance and duty
of supporting and encouraging home
industry. And yet, if that same
citizen wants a job done or some arti-
Gle for use, he'll send a thousand
miles from home for it, if he can
thereby save the huge sum of ten

Fayetteville Observer: Some peo-
pie give as an excuse for not joining
the church that there are so many in
it who are unworthy. This is a state
of affairs that cannot be avoided. To
those who raise such an objection,
we would say that the first church on
earth only had twelve members in
it, picked by the Savior himself, and
it contained thief and q robber.

Counterfeit Silver Dollars.

A late Washington letter contains
the following:
"Col. Snowden, who for many
years was Superintendent of the Phil
adelphia Mint, says in reply to Con-
gresham Hoar's declaration that
"there are fifty million counterfeit
silver dollars in circulation )" that "it
would be impossible to circulate imi-
tation dollars in any considerable
amount without detection. The dol
lars could not beminted without cost
ly and elaborate machinery. With
all its appliances the Government has
been able to float only 100000 sill
yer dollars in seven years. Evident
ly counterfeiters could not duplicate
this issue secretly" Col. Snowden
concludes that there are fewer coun-
terfeit dollars in circulation than at
any previous time in the history of
the Government"

story Of j u lnbO.

Catherine Cole, one of the best known
literary women of the South, tells this
experience with the lamented Jumbo.
"rhe worst fright ever got in my
life was from Jumbo. l was in Eng
land and visited the Geological Garden
frequently. That was before Jumbo
became noted for having the 'moost.'
as the Mahoots call it-bad temper in
England. One fine day attired my
self in new dress with an exceeding
ly large hustle, as was the style then,
and in my rounds dropped in at the
Zoo.
Il was walking around the garden
when suddenly felt myself lifted like
a feather into the air. Itried to scream
but l could not, didn't have the time.
The power that raised me aloft had me
by the hustle and l could feel that
frail protuberence crushing together
as if mountain had mashed it. Then
| described a scmi-circle and was lot
down hustle and all on the walk.
heard shout of merry childish
voices and Jumbo passed with twenty
or thirty children on his back. 1t
seems that was just in front of him
and quick as thought he seized me by
the hustle of my dress and carefully
lifted me to one side. His gentle
squeeze of my hustle broke into USE
less wreck, and lost five pounds of
flesh from concentrated fright. 1t took
me an hour to realize exactly what had
happened and take an inventory of
the smash-up. l never went back to
Zoo any more. am now as Texas
cowboy is about Indians. He likes
them better dead. So do l elephants.
l always bustle to get away from these
mastodons when see them coming.

The convention between the steel rail
manufacturers of England, Belgium and
Germany, formed for the purpose of pre-
venting ruineus competition has expired
The convention will not be renewed. The
Earl of Rosebery, the British foreign min
ister, has sent to Russia a precise aud en-
phatic protest against the closing of Bato-
Urn as a free port. Emperor William has
approved the proposal to have portrait
of the novelist, Gustave Freytag, painted
at the expense of the state. The Birming-
ham Mail states positively that Mr.. Cham
berlain will not join coalition cabinet.
The duel between Gen. Boulanger and Bar
on de Lareinty proved to be a bloodless
against Mr.. Gladstone on his Irish policy
If they hold their former political complex
ion the new house will be composed OF 3l9
Conservatives, "a Unionists and Liberals
and 100 Gladstonites and S6 Nationalists.
