GEN. JACKSON FOR CHANCELLOR.
The Atlanta Journal Pays Him High
Compliment.

The Atlanta Journal Pays Him High
Compliment
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 2-The question as
to who shall be Chancellor of the Georgia
University received an impetus to-day from
the appearance of an article in the EUenillg
Journal advocating Gen. Henry h. Jackson
for the position. The Journal says: The
trustees have a task of great Importance
before them. The future of the University
Of Georgia depends upon the selection of
suitable successor to Dr. Nell. The new
Chancellor must possess many qualifications
besides those of teacher. He should be able
to aid i'll the financial management of the
college. He must be one whose distin-
guished ability will attract and charm the
youth of our State, and he must possess
courage and character to control and lead
those intrusted TO his supervision. While
we adhere to the view that the highest
position of their profession should be filled
by teachers we doubt whether the salary
would permit a wise selection from their
number. There is, however, n Georgian
who possesses all the qualifications which
we have just mentioned and to whom
the most scholarly attainments
are given. He is member
of the legal profession and from it has
rendered himself superior to a question of
moneyed compensation Yet, so wide is
the range of his intellectual attachments
and so constant has been his devotion to all
scholarly pursuits, that the work of Chancel-
Tor might prove to him most attractive.
We suggest the name of Gen. Henry X.
jackson for the office of Chancellor

TARIFF TALK AT a FEAST.
a Protection Plea not Long Left Un-
anSWeIed

BALTIMORE, Feb. 1.-The annual banquet
of the Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation took place at Hotel Rennert to-
night, and was attended by representative
business men to the number of POO. The
dining hail was beautifully and deliberately
decorated in honor of the invited guests
Germon II. Hunt, President of the
association, presided The more i'm
portant guests were Senators Butler,
of South Carolina; Gray, of Della
ware; Vance, of North Carolina:
Daniel, of Virginia, and Wilson, of Mary
land; Comptroller of the Treasury. TIen-
holm, and Assistant Secretary OF the Treas
ury, Hugh S. Thompson. The members of
Congress present were Messrs. Breckenridge.
of Kentucky; Butterworth, of Ohio; Hook
er, of Mississippi; Dibble, of South Caro-
lima, and Rusk, of Maryland, as well as Hon.
K. T.. jackson, Governor of the State.
When the menu had been discussed, Presi-
dent Hunt briefly stated the object of the
association, and Mayor Latrobe welcomed
the invited guests in a few words. Senator
John w. Daniel responded 10 the toast ''Our
Country and Assistant Secretary Of the

The latter strongly advocated the estab-

lady's agitation natural enough "And told
missis that | thought she oughtn't to have
done it, because don't hold it right to keep
visitors so much in the dark where deaths con-
cerned; but she said the gentleman didn't die
of anything infectious; she was a poor, hon.
est innkeeper's wife, she says, who had to get
her living by making hay while the sun
sheened. And owing to the drowned gentle
man being brought here, she said, it kept so
many people away that we were empty,
though all the other houses were full So
when your good man set his mind upon the
room, and she would have lost good paying
folk if he'd not had it, it wasn't to be sup
posed, she said, that she'd let anything stand
in the way. We won't say that I've told We,
please. ma'aml All th linen has been
changed, and as the inquest won't be until
tomorrow, after you are gone, she thought
you wouldn't know a word about it, being
strangers here"
The returning footsteps Of her husband
broke off further narration. Baptista waved
her hand, for she could not speak. The
waiting maid quickly withdrew, and Mr..
Heddegan entered with the smelling salts
and other nostrums
BE you any betterr he questioned,
quickly.
Il don't like the hotel" she exclaimed,
almost simultaneously. IL can't bear it; it
doesn't suit me!'
.'Is that all that's the matter2" he returned,
pettishly this being the first time Of his
showing such mood. Upon my heart and
life such trifling is trying to any mans
temper, Baptista! Sending me about from
here to yond, and then, when l come back,
saying We don't like the place that l have
sunk so much money and words to get for We.
'Od dang it all, tbs enough to- But

quiet place at this time of the evening; every
other inn in the town is busting with rackety
folk of one sort and t'other, while here It's as
quiet as the grave-the country, would say.
So bide still, dye hear, and tomorrow we
shall be out Of the town altogether, as early
as you like"
The obstinacy of age had, in short, over
mastered its compiaisance, and the young
woman said no more. The simple course Of
telling him shat in the adjoining room lay a
corpse, which had lately occupied their own,
might, it would have seemed. been an eff
fectueI one without further disclosure, but to
aliudl to that subject, however it was dis
GriSed, was more than Heddegan's young
wife had strength for. Horror broke her
down. Id tho unexpected contingency one
thing only presented itself to her paralyzed
regard-that here she was doomed to abide
in hideouS situation between the dead hus-
band and the living.

VII.

She had escaped exposure on this occasion,
but the incident had been an awkward one,
and should have suggested to Baptista that
sooner or later the secret must leak out As
it was, she suspected that at any rate she had
not heard the last of the glazier.
In a day or two, when her husband had
gone 10 the old town on the other side of the
island, there came gentle tap at the door,
and the worthy witness of her first marriage
made his appearance a second time.
1T took me hours TO get 30 the bottom Of
the mystery-bouysr' he said, with a gaze Of
deep confederacy which offended her pride
very deeply. But, thanks to a good INTEL
lect, I've done it, Now, maam, I'm not man

Not enough to pay my passage to Penzance.
I came over on your account, for thought
there was a mystery somewhere. Now I
must 20 back on my e~n. Mind this
twould be very awkward for you if your old
man were to know. He's a queer temper,
though he may be fond"
She knew as we'll as her visitor how awk-
ward it would be, and the hush money she
paid was heavy that day. She had, however,
the satisfaction Of watching the man to the
steamer and seeing him diminish out of sight.
But Baptista perceived that the system into
which she had been led of purchasing silence
thus was one fatal to her peace of mind, par
ticularly il il had to be continued.
Hearing no more from the glazier she
hoped the difficulty was past. But another
week only had gone by when, as she wa

the company of fat woman carrying a
bundle.

"That you won't do" said she. Nobody

Mr.. Heddegan forgave the GOODNESS Of his
brides manner during and after the wedding
ceremony, full we'll aware that there had
been considerable reluctance on her part to
acquiesce in this neighborly arrangement,
and, as philosopher of long standing, hold
ing that whatever Baptista's attitude now
the conditions would probably be much the
same six months hence as those which ruled
among other married couples.
An absolutely unexpected shock was given
to Blptista'S listlAss rIind aOOut an hour
after the wedding sar"!."a They had nearly
finished the midday dinner when the now
husband said TO her father We think of
starting about two. And the breeze being 50

"What-ave we coirg to Psnzance" said
Baptista II don't know anything of it,"

Heddegan.
1t transpired that, owing to the delay in
her arrival, this proposal too, among other
things, had in the hurry not been mentioned
to her, except some time ago as a general
suggestion that they would go somewhere
Heddegan had imagined that any trip would
be pleasant, and one to the mainland the
pleasantest of all
She looked so distressed at the announce
ment that her husband willingly offered to
give it up, though he had not had holiday

the equanimity of newly married girls, and
would especially worry Baptista in her
strange situation. Hence, unexpectedly she
agreed not to disorganize her husbands plans
for the wedding jaunt and it was settled
that, as originally intended, they should pro-
coed in a neighbours sailing boat to the
metropolis OF the district
In this way they arrived at Penzance with
out difficulty or mishap. Bidding adieu to
Jenkin and his man, who had sailed them
over, they strolled arm in arm off the pier,
Baptsta silent, cold and obedient Hedde-
gan had arranged to take her as far as Ply
mouth before their return, but to go no fur

Their first business was 20 find an inn; and
in this they had unexpected difficulty, since
for some reason or other-possibly the fine
weather-many of the nearest at hand were

He led her on till he reached tavern which,
though comparatively unpretending, stood
in as attractive spot as any in the town;
and this, somewhat to their surprise after
their previous experiences, they found ap-
parently empty. The considerate old man,
thinking that Baptista was educated to arts
tic notions, though he himself was deficient
in them, had decided it was most desirable to
have, on such an occasion as the present. an
apartment with a good view" the express

among tourists, and he therefore asked for a
