The Marietta and North Georgia's
Completion Now Assured.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-While Wall street
is devoting much Of its attention to live
southern enterprises, London is likewise
looking to that field, and English investors
are showing substantial faith in the good
railroad properties of the new south. A
large bond sale, just perfected by the Mari
eta and North Georgia Railway
Company in London is the latest
evidence of this fact George
r. Eager, general manager of the Marietta
and North Georgia, received a cablegram
this morning, informing him that the for
eign financial agents of his company,
namely, Messrs. L. j. Hambro 81 Sons,
London bankers, mad succeeded in placing
all the bonds which he recently put in their
hands for sale.
ENSURES COMPLETION.
The bonds held by Hambro az Sons were
all required to be sold Of the entire amount
necessary to complete the road between
Atlanta and Knoxville, and insures the fin
ishing Of the through line with all possible
dispatch. The price at which the London
bankers sold the bonds was par. The success
of this negotiation has made considerable
talk in Wall street to-day, and will no doubt
direct new attention to the property
that may soon make it factor in big deals
now pending In southern railroads. james
u. jackson, vice president OF the road, was
seen to-day, and was asked about the Lon
don deal. He reiterated all that Mr.. Eager
had said, and spoke with enthusiasm Of the

A Cowboys, Ball In Mexico.

The salon de bailar, a room 35X16 with its
hard mud floor, is irrigated to prevent dust
and cleared of everything but few benches.
Candles are stuck along and on the wall, the
women huddls together at one end of the
room and the men stand and squat about at
the other, everybody rolling and smoking
cigarettes. The band of four pieces turns it
self loose and joy is unconfned. Men and
women are supplied with judicious amount
OF mescal; very rarely is anything served to
eat till daylight. The Mexicans are born
dancers, and many Of their graceful. stately
figures might well be copied by our American
masters. Dancing is interspersed by volun-
teer singing, accompanied by the guitar when
the songs are by women. The songs of the
men are Of such character that they cannot
have nor need any accompaniment, every
line ending with chorus, in which every
body joins, and at times fine harmony is rem
dered. At O'Clock a. m. everybody is feel
ing jolly; at in a fighting mood; at 4
o'clock only the sober ones are dancin;, espe-
cially the lovers; at s, as the first glmrner of
dawn comes creeping over the mountains, the
band winds up with the lovers "danza."
The last sweet words are whispered in the
ssnorita's ear, and the company dispense for
an hours sleep.

inches each way, and fill In with wire
netting for ventilation. shutter the
shape of the end of house would be ser
viceable to put up on the windy side ON
cold nights. It will be seen that the above
can be practically turned inside out: the
roof can be thrown open on letting the
fowls out, and while they are breakfast
ing the floor can be cleaned. Then the
house should be closed, excepting the
small door, and the hens can go in
and be nearly in the dark while laying,
which is just what they like. This
house will accommodate fifty fowls,
and the under part forms a dry
place for them in wet weather. It may
be urged that they will not have sufficient
air. This is not so. They will have
about the same cubic space per head as
two persons in an ordinary stateroom of q
steamboat and very much more ventila-
ton. By this continuance the minimum
of labor is attained, all the droppings are
free of sand, and the house can be re-
moved at will. The floor need not even
be nailed If cut down the middle, so as to
be In four feet three inch lengths. An
open flooring of Stats can be used. The
blocks might then be dispensed with, the
house resting on the ground, which
should be followed so as to let the drop
pings fall through. This would entail
the removal of the house frequently, not
every time 1t was swept, but say once
week.
A house on this principle, but smaller,
say eight feet long, three feet six inches
wide, and three feet high for about
twenty fowls, would do well to place un-
der trees In grove, as 1t could be re-
moved every few days and the droppings
hoed in, thus fertilizing every tree In
turn. Theroosts should be made of hard
wood and the edges rounded off They
should not be nailed. but let into sockets
so as to be readily removed The nests
should also move easily An occasional
dressing of kerosene and some tobacco
dust sprinkled in the nests viii keep the
place from mites. The correspondent who
described the above has found pine straw

making nests He does not approve Of
