The death of this young lady deserves
something more than a brief notice. She
was thoroughly educated In music, and
had an unusual amount OF skill IN the arts
of drawing and painting, which she used
successfully as teacher in the Forsyth
Female Academy. Strong in body and in
mind, she devoted herself entirely TO her
duties with love for and a consciousness
of the value of the arts in the education of
the young. She bore up bravely against
the trials that beset the teacher
of youth in our free and
independent" country, and never
tagged till, on passing from Macon to
her home, a brick hurled through the
windows of the passenger car struck her
on the shoulder. Since that she lost
strene tn, and her tasks became overwork
the thing that is playing such havoc with
our female teachers everywhere, and
paralysis followed, carrying her Off in a
few hours.
In Germany thirty scholars are gen.
orally enough for one teacher. Here we
assign them double that number.

At Arlington the people are very much
agitated over the mad dog excitement.
For several weeks dogs have been going
mad, and each dog bites number of other
dogs, hogs, cattle and other animals, thus
increasing the number and danger. A cow
went mad near town and showed dispo-
sition to bite everything that came within
grasp. she beloved 80 pitifully and
seemed to have been in so much misery
that her owner killed her. 1t is supposed
that the COW was bitten by mad dog
about two weeks previous to her madness.
The family had been drinking the cows
milk up to the time that her madness was
detected, and they are fearful of having
the hydrophObia. Recently a hog was
bitten by mad dog, and in day or so it
became mad and was affected in the same
way as the deg. The dogs are being kill
ed over the country and the people are
afraid to buy sausage" or to drink milk.
A $50 warrant on the treasury was the
subject of discussion In the COmptroller's
office at Atlanta Wednesday. In 1879 b.
+. Avant, of Houston county, applied for
the amount granted by the State to
manned soldiers. He furnished proof that
his arm was amputated above the elbow,
and received the allowance, $50. When
notice was given that the State was ready
to make another payment, Avant again
sent in his proofs, but this time the am
putation was below the elbow. AS Judge
VIM. Grice and Col. A. K. Miller, of the
Capital Commission, were witnesses in
the first case, the State authorities knew
there must be some mistake. Investiga-
tion developed the fact that the last proofs
were right and Mr.. Avant was only enti-
tied to $40. Accordingly $40 was sub
tracted for the first Overpayment, and
warrant was sent him for 500. This, with
his first $50 payment, will make $50, the
equivalent of two $40 payments.

A Barber's Shop for Women.

A newspaper correspondent has found
n place in New York where women are
shaved, and he had the opportunity of
watching the operation, which he de-
seribed as follows: There was high
foot rest in front of the chair, bat it did
not appear to be required on this oc-
casion. A napkin was tucked under her
chin, and the operator applied aquantity
of shaving cream or lather squeezed out
of tinfoil tube, instead of being mixed
up in cup with brush. A little gentle
rubbing with the ends of the fingers
softens the skin and the hair on the lip,
the operator refraining from remarks
upon the weather or elections during the
process, which impaired wierd, un-
natural air to the whole performance.
The barber then deity stropped small,
thin. short -bladed razor with pearl
handle, seized the victim gently by her
pretty nose and began to shave the lip
with quick but delicate touch. The
best feature of the operation was that at
its close, the barber allowed the customer
to depart without telling her that she
needed shampoo, or that she ought to
have hair tonic.

THE NEW CRUISERS.
A Rumor that Secretary whitney Will
EndeavOr 10 Build the Nevnrk at the
Brooklyn Yard

A Rumor that Secretary Whitney Will
Brooklyn Yard.
Secretary Whitney is quoted as saying
that he will apply TO Congress for perm ssion
to build the cruiser Newark, for which the
bids are all in excess of the limit, at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, and that statement
particularly pleases Commodore b. +.
1sherwo d, who for many year, has
contended tn 1t all naval vessels should
be built by the Government. Commodore
sherwood is Chief Engineer of the navy
on the retired list, and designed the machin-
cry of nearly all the steamships and several
of the monitors built by the Navy Depart
lnent during the war. IF Secretary W hi
ney recommends to Congress that the New
ark be built in the Brooklyn Navy Yard"
he said lit will be the best act of his Adj
minstration, as his sending to England for
p ans for one of the vessels was tine worst.
As was stated by me before the House
Committee on Naval Affairs last year, there
are not at resent any private Establishments
in this country capable of doing the quality
of work and on the scale required by the
navy department for. its prospective vessels,
assuming them toIeN9f the type ard magni-

no and has not been for long time, nor is
there any ro' ect of their being for much
