HON0RED IN THE GATE CITY.

Cobb county should, and we have
no doubt but she does, entertain the
kindliest feelings towards the people
OF Atlanta. Her former citizens
have been, (aud we think not the
unworthy recipients of many of the
highest honors and most responsible
trusts that any city can bestow.
Our county has furnished the Gate
City two city executives, ex-Mayor
Goodwin and the present incum-
bent, J. Tyler Cooper. Then Chief
joyner. the most wide awake and
vigilsnt officer that ever run down
and ''treed' fire, is Cobb county
boy, as is also city marshal James
Lloyd. Captain s B glove, present
candidate for the responsible office
of city tax collector, was long . res
ident Of our county. Our word for
it, there will be no shortage if the
Captain gets she place. John Lloyd
candidate for city tax collector was
born ana educated in Cobb, and it
would crafty his friends old and
new if lie should BE- kindl. remem-
bcred at the primary, and counsy
commissioner JAS Collins is another
Cobb county boy, though we believe
Atlanta always gives Jim all he ASKS
Tor and he deserves it, at least he
gets them to think so which amounts
to the same thing. Success to them
all, and perpetual prosperity to the
peerless city of the South is our
kindly desire. r.

THE PRESIDENTS PLANS.
Cleveland COntempIates a European
Tour.

A Washington dispatch says
The presidents future plans are
still undetermined. 1t is believed
that he will spend one or two years
travelling in Europe, which he has
never visited.
He is still in the very prime Of
life. He will leave the White
House at least $4,000 richer than
when be entered it. This, added to
his other investments, ought to
give him a comfortable fortune OF
upward of 100000.
Moreover, Mrs. Cleveland through
the division Of the Folsom estate in
Omaha, is an heiress in her own
right and is probably worth not less
than halfa million Of dollars. Both
MIR. and Mrs. Cleveland would pre-
fer few years OF foreign travel as a
pleasant rounding off of their white
house experience before settling
down to the quiet of every day life;
and for this reason the European
trip is regarded as among the strong
probabilities.

HOG KILLING TIME.

The season is at hand when the
town man wishes that he could live
on the farm. 1t is the season oil
feasting on gatherings, brains,
sausage, spareribs, backbones and
turnips. Oh, how fondly memory
reverts back to the happy days of
childhood. Bursting bladders, feast
ing on roast pig feet in neighbor-
hood where the very air seems to
be laden with the odor of sage, pep
per and hog skin. The time when
neighbor Jones, Smith and Brown
come over to our house to assist in
the work of slaughtering the fat,
grunting porkers and take dinner
on new yellow yam potatoes and
liver, lites, kidneys, etc. Every
body is happy, the neighbors have
big stories to tell about their fat
hogs and what glorious time they
are going to have when the next
cold spell comes along. How could
they be otherwise than happy
They have made corn, peas, pinders
and potatoes to tatten these hogs
and will now enjoy the fruits of their
toll. Such farmers are kings, and
to say that town people envy them
is nothing but the plain truth. Now
let us look at another picture
Here is cotton grower who has
been so very busy with his cotton
that be has not had time to look af-
ter his hogs. He pust get his cot
ton to town to pay the merchant for
the green meat and salt which he
paid twelve cents for on credit in
the spring. There will be no hog
killing at his home and we feel sor-
ry tor him. True he ought to be
blamed a little for not having sense
enough, and business judgment
enough to know that he will always
be tenant for others. He has been
told often enough that he will have
to change his methods, and if he il
determined to hang on to the old way
and forever be poor as dog, why
that's his fault. AS we remarked il
the Advocate not long since, thi
country will never be prosperou
until it is plastered all over Will
spare ribs, hams, sides, jowls anC
backbone instead of mortgages. Nov
you all-cotton farmer read this ar
ticle, think about it and then act OF
its suggestions. We have in Geor
gia the best country on Gods greer
earth, but we have not got sens,
enough to realize or appreciate it.

HUNTING WITH DOGS.
St. Nicholas.

All hounds, save the greyhound,
run entirely by scent. When they
come upon the faint scent of track
they will work along until it grows
fresher, and then begin to bay or
give tongue There is always a
correspondence between the baylng
and the trail. An experienced
hunter can tell by the baying not
only where the dog is, but, by the
frequency and confidence of the
sound, how fresh the trail is-that
is, low close upon his game the dog
is.-All hunted animals have way
Of doubling, or running in circles.
Hence, if a hunter observes by the
baying that his dog is going away
from him, he waits patiently, some
times for minutes, sometimes for
hours, until the circle is made and
he hears the dog approaching. Then
he is on the alert tor shot for the
game is probably not many rods in
advance of the dog.
A hound is seldom lost. His
nose is his compass, Whenever he
pleases he can take up his masters
track and find him, or he can re-
trace his own steps homeward.
Dogs don't seem to enjoy those
odors that please us. A dog will
turn away disappointed and indif-
ferent from the finest Of perfumes.
Except the scent of those things
which he would like to eat [ have
never found anything that seemed
to delight dogs sense of smell.

In almost every school there is an
unpopular boy or girl plain, stup-
i'd and disagreeable, as it seems
Tor whom nobody has good word.
Ii there is In your particular school
such an unfortunate little outcast
whose life is all east wind and no
sunshine, try and make friends with
him or her. You will never regret
your kindness ; take my word for
that. In little while you will dis
cover that the plain face has in it
something really pleasing, if not ac-
tually beautiful; that the stupid
mead has plenty OF sound sense and
bright fancy, and that the disagree
able manners melt away before the
sunshine of little friendly interest
Pray make this small experiment
For yourself you will gain, / an
sure, faithful, loyal friend, anc
that, believe me, is no trihing gain
and, as for chat other, that poor liz
tie outcast, you will turn all his lift
to gold.

LIE Raleigh News and Observe

The Raleigh News and Observer
supplies this bit of interesting news =:
Raleigh will soon be exhibiting
two curiosities to the world which
will beat the record. Mr.. r.. d.
Helm has had the two little dwarfs.
Mary and James Lanier, Familiarity
known here, bound to him for sew
eral years and is about starting out
on q tour Of exhibition with them.
In point OF diminutiveness they
beat Tom Thumb, Major Atom and
company away out of sight. Mary
is 10 years old and weighs only
thlrty-two pounds, and James is
10 years old and weighs thirty-six
pounds. Mr.. Hefin has had elabor-
ate costumes made for them after
patterns of the height of fashion and
will start out Immediately on his
tour. He mas already been to Dur
ham with them and expects to start
for the Augusta exposition in a day
or two. The diminutiye pair in
their nobby little costumes present
a novel and unique picture, and
will doubtless lay all other noted
dwarfs in the shade.

THE HONOLULU POSF OFFICE.

Since our evening contemporary has
preached the subject of the Post Office
in connection with the outgoing foreign
LII Ill, the present time is perhaps oppor-
tune for a suggestion thereon. The re-
marks alluded to are perfectly reasonl-
bio as far as they go, but We woulI go
step farther. 1t is stated that the bulk
of the mails for the Australia were not
lodged in the box until considerable
time after the specified hour of closing, but
that the time was nevertheless extended
to accommodate those who were late
Tne official courtesy which prompted
this indulgence was no doubt duly APP
preciated, but we incline to the belief
that the fault did not lie entirely with
the public. Possibly the Postmaster
General thought so too, and was conse-
Q Iently induced to De lenient. Proba-
LIy it would be impossible to obtain any
correct analysis of the causes which led
To this representation, but We have a
suspicion that great deal of it was due
to loss of time in attending to the varied
avoided in a great measure by division
OF labor. 1t is very evident that the
work Of attending to applicants at the
window during the two or three hours
Immediately prior to the departure OF
the mail steamer for the Coast is too
much tor one clerk. If the Postmaster
General could see his way clear to give
additional facilities on those occasions,
having special reference to the rush OF
business, we believe it would be advan-
taseOus to the public and the depart
ment. Either the entire duties of the
present clerks might be divided as they
are, or one window might be reserved
for the sale of stamps solely and exclu-
sively, other things, such as weighing
letters, answering inquiries, ETC., being
transferred. When people are under
the necessity of waiting ten, fifteen Or
twenty minutes before they can be
served, it scarcely admits of argument
that some change is urgently needed.

AS OTHERS SEE US.

The ordinary political squabbles of
the day are generally passed upon in a
partisan light at home. Outside few
read or care what we do. Again, there
are matters that not only concern polit-
icAl and friendly relations, but in some
sense our financial standing The latter,
however, interest those who have, or are
looking forward to financial interest in
US. Such people are covered by both
legal and financial minds, and are the
first to discover anything in questionable
legislation. Ever since the formation of
our law Courts we have been favored
with men at their head of good average
legal ability. and to-day our Supreme
Bench is filled with gentlemen who are
lawyers, mostly of acknowledged abili-
ties. The decisions of our Courts have
given us prestige from abroad as re-
CARDS the government of our country that
could not have been acquired in any
other manner.
Legislation is part of a constitutional
government, and much depends on it
for the future, as no retrospective laws
can ever be enacted For years back
there has always been an uneasy feeling
in the community while the Legislature
was in session; the last extra session was
no exception. The public look to the
conservatism of the House and the
Executive for protection from despotic
acts.
The extra session was composed
largely of men who had no legislative
experience; good men in the ordinary
walks of life, but entirely cut of place as
legislators, and who knew only how to
be guided by leaders who proved to be
partisans only. Therefore the extra ses-
sion filed blank in the requirements of
the Constitution. Otherwise it did no
good, but much harm
We have been shown a letter from
England from party who is interested |
in our Government financially, and who |
says: Nothing has transpired in your
country within the past six months to |
weaken its best interests in this so much |
as the passage of an Act repeating an
Act under which Justices of your SUI
Dreme Court were appointed under the |
Constitution. People here, especially
the legal fraternity, view such Acts with |
alarm. Your Supreme Court will doubt
less pass on this Act as well as the veto,
and put both where they belong. At
The same time the condition of things is
lar from satisfactory to those who are
interested, and will continue

-emains in power"

A Good Experience.

God Knows me better than I know
myself. He knows my gifts and pow
ers, my failings and my weaknesses,
what I can do and not do. So desire
to be led, to follow Him; and I am
quite sure that He has thus enabled
me to do great deal more in ways
which seem to me almost a waste in
life, in advancing His kingdom, than I
could have done in any other way. I
am sure of that. Intellectually, I am
weak in scholarship, nothing; in a
thousand things baby. He knows
this, and so He has led me, and great
ly blessed me, who am nobody, to be
of some use to my church and fellow
men. How kind, how good, how COM
passionate art thou, o God o my Fa-
ther, keep me humble Help me to
have respect toward my fellow-men, to
recognize these several gifts as from
thee. Deliver me from the diabolical
sins of malice, envy, orjealousy, and
give me hearty joy in my brothers.
good, in his work, in his gifts and tai
ents, and may be truly glad in his
superiority to myself, if God be glori-
fed. Root out all weak vanity, all de-
vilish pride, all that is abhorrent to the
mind of Christ. God, hear my pray
er. Grant me the wondrous joy of hu-
mility, which is seeing thee as all in
all.-Dr. Norman McLeod's Diay.

and reverend men gather? What topic

Is it to concert ways, and means for
amousing deeper interest in Christ

DDS for bridging the gulf between the
rich and the poor? Is it to consider
what the Christian church can do to
avert war? Is it to devise measures
for dealing with intemperance and the
social evil? Is it to construct an ad-
dress to Christian people on the,r peed
of deeper spirituality of life? LIT to
