But to resume.
The claims of Macon as an educational
center rest upon the location here of Mercer
university, Baptist college for white young
men, Wesleyan Female college, a Methodist
seminary for white young women, and Je-
suit novitiate school, the only one south of
the Potomac and east of New Mexico.
Mercer university has about one hundred
and fifty students during the college year.
It is school ranking considerably under
most of the New England colleges, with a
collegiate course, q subsfreshnan course and
what is called theological course. The the
illogical course is the regular classical course
with few of the studies made optional so
that the student may elect theological stud
les. The college has one large and rather inn
posing building. The equipment of the
school is painfully inferior. In most of the
rooms the students are actually required to
sit on rough benches without backs. None
of the rooms have blaekboards attached to
the wall except one, and the blackboards in
that room were put up by a new teacher
fresh from the University of Virginia. at his
own expense. This teacher is the only mem

The faculty is so conservative in sentiment
that while all Macon goes by central stand

solar time system, the mathematical profess

The untidiness of the main building beg
gars description.
The Wesleyan Female college has an ex-
ceedinglY fine building, thanks to the Hbe-
rality of two northern men. One of these,
Mr.. George I. Seney of Brooklyn, N. Y,
has helped the school to the extent of one
hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars.
The school boasts that it was the first char
tered female college which ever gave a Gi-
ploma to young lady in the United States.
1t has creditable curriculum, with espec-
tally large musical and art departments,
and about three hundred students per an
mum. It is probably at or very near the
head of the many female seminaries in
Georgia.
Tho Jesuit novitiate school is located two
miles from the city limits. The plain,
massive building of the institution stands
on the summit of hill, so that it is con-
spicuous for miles around. From 1874 till
last year Catholic college (Pio Nono) was
operated in the building. There are now

THE REFORM HUMBUG.

There is one humbug which will be very
thoroughly exposed before the presidential
campaign is ended. The special COMMITTEES
which is investigating the status of OWL SER
vice reform at the New York custom house
is throwing not little light upon its true
nature. 1t is shown that men against whose
fidelity and efficiency no charges could be
made have been discharged because they
were Republicans; that new men have been
appointed and others retained for no better
reason than because they were Democrats;
that public officers have neglected their du-
ties to engage in campaign work, and that,
under various disguises, the pernicious sys-
tenn of political assessment is still in force.
These things exist, and exist with impunity,
in direct violation of the law and special
presidential orders.
It is amusing and instructive to see how
the deluded mugwumps take their medicine.
The New York Evening Post, which tried
hard to prove to itself and others that there
was a reform and reform President, now
walls as follows: The painful truth is that
we doubt If single independent voter in
this State, of the thousands who supported
President Cleveland in 1884, any longer at
taches any Importance to the utterances of
the members of the administration on the
subject of civil service reform, or any longer
refuses to believe that the Presidents promi-
ses and professions have been violated or
disregarded, on great scale, with the ut
most boldness, in sundry places and in d.
vers manners, and that men like Judge
Maynard and Surveyor Beattie have actually
been detailed or told off to practice as much
civil service abuse as can be readily oon-
cealed or disguised when they are found out
and exposed. OF course they must be shield
ed. It would be the worst kind of baseness
to desert or sacrifice them.
This is all very sad and very bad. But it
has been discovered before now that it is i'm
possible to gather grapes of thorns or figs 5f
thistles. And the trusting mugwumps who
believed that Cleveland was better than his
party and could make his party better have
at last discovered it.

others being wholly unprovided with modern
appliances. The recent rapid development
OF the coal industry in this region is said to
owe much to the annual conferences of the
representatives of the mining industries. The
annual output at present exceeds 100000
tons, of which about 300, 600 tons are car
ried by railway; but it is calculated that
nearly 3,000,0 600 tons will be available for
transport during the present year, besides
the-quantity consumed in the neighborhood.

Farming in England seems to be Cooking
up" One widely circulated newspaper, pub
lished in the farming interests, has made an
analysis of the farm advertisements printed
in its columns during the last ave years, and
from this showing draws the conclusion that
the number of vacant farms, or of landlords
desiring to change tenants, is now much
smaller than it has been for a number of
years past This deduction is confirmed by
statements of prominent owners of farming
properties that, while two or three years ago
| vacated farms lay on their hands for quite
period Of time without application for
them, at the present time applications pour
| in almost ss soon as it is known that a farm
is to be vacated. The range of rents, com
pared with the rates of five and ten years
ago, is low, but then there was time when
| no concession in rents seemed to be sufficient
| to induce farmers to take a lease of vacated
| property.

Society women in Washington perform
their social duties on business principles.
Says the wife of Justice Miller: The science
and practice of social bookkeeping have been
reduced to nicely. The first thing is to
enter the names of all ladies calling and leav-
ing their cards, their addresses when given,
the day they called, the day they receive and
something about them when they are stran-
gers to you. This is the foundation of your
ing your return visit and making any notes
respecting the parties to guide your future
action.

An important report from the British con-
sui at Tagaurag on the coal industry OF
southern Russia has just been laid before
parliament. The five coal basins of Russia
are the Donetz, sub Moscow, Dombrova (Po-
1and), Ural and Caucasus; of these the first is
the one described in the present report. 1t
stretches over considerable portion of New
Russia, between the Don and the Dnieper,
and includes many extensive seams of btu
minous and anthracite coal, but it contains
all kinds of coal suitable for manufactures
and household purposes. The report goes
seriatim through six groups of colleries pro-
ducing different kinds Of coal, and describes
the mode of working and the results of the
more important collieries in each group.
There are in all 200 collieries in the Donet2
basin, many being thoroughly equipped, but

Memorial DaY.
Once more adown the path Of years
The minds of men are turning
To days Of strife, of dole and tears,
When, wars red watchfires burning,
The Union in the balance hung,
And claimed the patriot sword and tongue.
Then came the sheathing of the sword
With song of jubilation,
Through which there ran a minor choro,
The tribute Of the nation
To those who welcomed soldier graves
That ne'er their flag might float Ger slaves.
Dear patriot graves Again the hours
Proclaim yeur day at hand,
And to your aftars beauteous flowers
Are brought throughout the land
Sweet tributes that but family tell
How fragrantly in mind ye dwell.

them cheap soon. The annexation of Bur-
nah has put the great ruby mines into the
control of the government, and the question
is now raised as to whether the government
should not retain them and prevent the

duction. The same thing happened eighteen
years ago in Siam, when the sapphire mines
were SO overworked that the stones greatly

According to Professor Sargent. the
strongest wood in the United States is that
of the nutmeg hickory of the Arkansas re-
sion, and the weakest the West Indian
birch. The most elastic is the tamarack,
the white or shell-bark hickory standing far
below it. The least elastic, and the lowest
in specific gravity, is the wood of the fieus
aurea. The highest specific gravity, upon
which in general depends value as fuel, is
attained by the bluewood of Texas.

land and their total value is something like
$40, ,o00, 900. 900. These figures are not, of
course, very comprehensive. They simply
convey the idea of the vastness of area and

Fresh Outbreak OF the Hatfield Nc Co y
Factlon-The West YIrginians worSted.
CATLErTsDuRG, KY, Sept. l7.-Another
raid was made by the McCoy's on the
Hatfield settlement Friday and rs usual
the West yirginians were woBted. The
The following account OF the affair was
received by Capt. NJ. Goble last night:
The Mccoy crowd made raid yester-
day and attempted to arrest one OF four
innocent citizens, Richard Casey, u per-
son who verhad anything to do with
the trouble. They were stopped before
they succeeded. They came upon the
West Virginia boys ut Papaw mountain,
where lively battle took place. In the
melee two of the West Virginians were
killed and two more badly wounded.
None OF the Kentucky boys were hurt.
Our country is in terrible state OF ex-
citement Just now. The West Virginia
boys say they will have revenge in some
way. The Kentuckians are ready for
them at any time. Just what will be
the outcome of the feud no one can tell.
During the last month the West Yer
ginian's have raided the Kentuckians
twice and have lost five men killed out
right, while the old Commonwealth
shows an unbrokent front. A total an
Inhalation OF one or the other faction
seems to be the only thing. West Vir-
ginians have always been the aggressors,
but when molested the Kentuckians
have on each occasion showed the in
truders they were at home.
