of the fight There was number of
broken down wagons and dead hors,

the badly wounded were in the farm

The Federal dead were still there, w.
ing where they fell, bloated and
and bursting, emitting that horrible
stencil peculiar to decaying human
bodies. In one place lay a number
of the New York Zouaves in their
red breeches and caps, some fine
looking men among them. At the
head of a ravine man had fallen on
bunch of bushes and brlars that

around and upon his head ana face.

GRAND OLD GEORGIA.

NO state offers tairer field to the
immigrant or the investor. From the
mountain ranges that grid her ON
the north, to the seaboard and the
sands Of Florida OIL Che South, her
hillsides and valleys yield generous
return to the thrifty husbandman !;
every staple product finds congenial
soil in her broad dCRaip, aud fruits
and flowers flourish as in the tropics
the apple, pear and fig grow side by
side, the luscious grape hangs in pur-
pie clusters On the nils the peach
bushes red beneath the amorous
kisses of summer breezes, and the
orange flashes its golden sides in the
autumn sun. Her soil is not loss di-
verse than her products. In the
north, mountains rear their bold cliffs
to the sky, and from their rugged
sides gush forth sparkling streams
which leap from crag to crag, rival
ing Niagara in grandeur, and burst
ing their narrow confines, plough
their way through broad fields and
fertile valleys, enriching their lands
as they go, until their mission is end
Ell and they pour out their lives n
the insatiate sea. In middle Geor-
gla, county after county stretches
out its level or undulating surface to
the farmer'S pillow, and grows white
with the cotton harvest or yellow
with sgolden grain. Along her coast
broad acres Of marsh lands are COW
cred with waving fields of rice, and
on her sea islands grow u variety of
cotton, rivaling the tabled golden
fleece in value; miles of virgin for
ests can be found in all sections of
the state, and springs of pure water
gush out from the hillsides ready for
the settlers use. Nor does her wealth
stop on the surface. Buried beneath
her soil are riches yet greater than
those that flourish upon it. Her
mountains are Of granite exhaust
less fields of marble underlie her
hills; vast coal beds await the mi
ner's pick her mountain chains are
riveted together with chains Of iron
and copper; veins of silver and gold
push their way among the baser met
ais, and even the diamond lies wait
ing to flash its brilliant rays in the
eyes Of the prospector. And not
less attractive than her soil, her re-
sources and her products are her cit
liens, and the new conner will find
in Georgia people upright, brave,
industrious and hsspitable, who are
ready to extend cordial welcome to
all who come with honest purpose
and fair dealing to cast their lot
among them. Thrifty, honest and
loyal in her citizenry; diverse, fer
tile and picturesque in her soil va
ried, prolific and unfailing in her
products; unsurpassed, genial and
healthful in her resources, she stands
a peerless queen among her southern
sisters and smiling with pride on her
broad domains, stretches out her jew
elled hands to the people of the
world, welcoming them to the EN-
pire State of the South.

A ROMANCE OF THE STRIKE.
From the Chicago Mail

The great strike on the 90" road
reminds me OF romance. In one Of
the towns on the main line lives a
man who for years has been in the
employ of the corporation which is
now having trouble. From appren-
tlce boy in the workshop he worked
his way up until he became an engin-
Ger. One night he was called up and
sent on an extra. He had not gone
far on his run when sometime dane
ed betore the glare of his head, and
as quickly did he reverse his engine.
Leaving the pilot, he walked down
the track and found a child, neatly
wrapped and wide awake. He took
1T back to the pilot, made cot for it
and proceeded on his run. On his
return home the waf of the road was
taken to his home, adopted, reared
and educated.
She became one Of the beauties of
the little town and grew into womon-
hood. The engineer, although near
ly thirty-five years older than the
pretty faced creature, loved her, and
they were married. The other day
when there were rumors of strike
the old engineer appealed to his child
wife for advice, and she begged him
to remain with the company and not
desert the road on which he found
her and from which he rescued her.
lie consented and there is one of the
old engineers who is true to the throt-
tie. ] have this little story from d
gentleman who lives in the town
where the old engineer makes his
home.

A citizen OF Chicago bet $50 with
Gleason, the horse tanner, that the
latter couldn't bride, harness, and
drive a certain big brown mare in
less than twenty-five minutes. She
hadn't been bridled in three months,
and was a kicker. The horse tanner
within nine minutes from the time
she was led into the ring had bridled
her, tied tin cans to her tail, hitched
her to buggy, and driven her. He
turned the money over to the News
boys Home Of Chicago, saying that
he didn't gamble, but made the bet
to show the better that he understood
the business better than the better
did.

RESPECTABLE RASCALITY.

spectacle rascality? THIS seems at
hrst glance somewhat paradoxical.
but on reflection it will be seen that
there is in modern society such a
thing.
Only few who are classed as prac
tltloners under this head are ever
stlgmatized with the appellation, but
every conscientious, thinkig man is
ready to admit that there is such a
thing, and that respectable rascality
is but the fruitage of some man who
is really a respectable rascal.
Successful rascality is always re-
spectacle, and whenever government
legalizes it by any enactment she on
ly increases inducements, and edu-
Gates her subjects to look upon trick
cry and sharp games as accomplish
ments, and the man who succeeds
best is the aggressive and worthy cit
iaen. After this state of affairs as
sumes respectable proportions and
becomes the ruling sentiment of the
country, backed up by the recognia-
ed government, then the effect is APP
palllng. 1t intimidates good people,
and many who are outspoken on all
subjects, where wrong is not respect
able, are struck dumb with silence,
because OF the fearful odds in favor
of what they believe to be criminally
wrong.
II is always questionable as to the
wisdom of legislating on any evil
which only looks to the protection of
isolated cases. Such legislation al
ways ends in flooding the country
with deception, and in tho building
OF fortifleation Of protection around
respectable rascals.
The creation of the homestead law
and various other modes of protect |
ing supposed cases, have become
schools of high grade, from which
come numerous full-hedged rasoais |
annually. The county is always in
dangerous state when wholesale
evils are prompted and rascality pro-
tected until it succeeds; when O man |
can buy goods under false pretence,
and when charged with the crime
can get n verdict of the jury in his
favor; when he can decelve his
neighbOr and the law defend him |
when he can get in debt to scores of |
people, and the law says you need |
not pay unless you choose to do So
when he can do tins and still more, |
and then be hale fellow well met by
the leaders of society.
lie pays poll tax only, lives in
fine house, runs big plantation,
talks politics with a conceited air,
and is perfectly willing to set as iu-
ryman on a petty case of theft to
judge of the guilt of some poor
wretch who has been charged with
stealing hog.
The law protects him, and he faces
the public with the G0nceit of a
sage and the cheek of locomotive. |
lie is always ready to criticise other
people about small matters, but new
er seems to know himself or to know |
that he IS known to others. His own
life is smuggle md swindle, and |
yet he would have The public to
adopt him as standard of honesty |
and responsibility. lie wishes to be
considered as the ''pillow of proprie-
ty." His is the affected air OF an
"lsrelite in whom there is no guile"

Columbus Enquirer-Sun: A great
many men take pride in the fact that
they take no interest in politics. and
not only take no steps to remedy the
evils they criticise, but actually feel
a complacent pride in doing NOTHING
a man who takes no interest in
politics is one who falls very far short
OF doing his duty, Does he sneak Of
political corruption? The man who
permits wrongs without trying to
remedy them. is only second in guilt
to the man who perpetrates them
A lack OF interest in politics is
good cause for shame, but no eause
for pride. 1t is lack of patriotism.
1t is a lack of interest in mankind.
tor political affairs affect men more
widely than they are Affected in anv
other way.
Every citizen OF the country who
has an opinion on any subject. politi-
cal or otherwise, should have that
opinion strongly enough to act in ac-
cordance with its Dictates. Every
man who has political opinion
should do all in his power to carry it
out The man who sits patiently,
while the people are being cursed by
bad laws, and makes no efforts to re-
heve tiAem, Is a partner in the wrong;

carelessness, glories in his own

The editor OF a Griggs county (Da-
kota) paper calls attention to the
fact that. Griggs county contains
room enough to seat the entire popu-
lation of the globe in arm-chairs
within its limits, allowing each per-
son space Of thirteen feet. Unless
the Griggs county editor can offer
some other inducement, it is ex-
tremely doubtful if the entire popu-
lation Of the globe will go there to
sit in arm chairs. 1t is too Internal
Iy cold in Dakota to take such an
out-ot-doors loaf during the winter,

DR.. Atkinson, of Nashville, Tenn,
has this to say Of cigarette smoking:
"My inquiries so far lead me to the
conclusion that it is the most serious
evil of modern times, and that the
average cigarette is not only com
post OF villianies, but of poisons; that
it is more hurtful to immature youth
than to adults, because the toxic
agents contained in the cigarette
modify and repress the normal deyel-
opment of the brain and nerve cen
tres. Hence, children who Use them
will be found destitute Of mental
grasp, of physical energy and moral
character, the depression thus caused
leading to the use of intoxicating liq-
ors, to contempt of parental inhu-
ence and all moral and mental cul-
ture."
