PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.
A Public Dispensary Where Liquor
May be Obtained.

A novel scheme of prohibition is on
trial in GAINESVILLE, one of the largest
towns in Georgia. An ordinance just
adopted establishes an official dispen-
sary, which is to be in charge of an Off
Ger selected by the Mayor and Council,
whose duty it shall be to keep in his
custody such WHISTLES, brandies, wines,
beers, and alcohol, as may be supplied
to him by the Mayor and Council, and
to sell the same for medical, scientific,
mechanical, and sacramental purposes,
in quantities not to exceed one quart Of
whiskey, brandy, wine or alcohol, or
half dozen bottles of beer, ale, or por-
ter, under the regulations prescribed by
this ordinance.
1t is provided that the liquors shall
be of the purest quality, and the party
desiring to purchase must make it clear
ly appear, to the reasonable satisfaction
of the keeper of the dispensary, that he
or she does in good faith desire to pur-
chase the same for one of the above pur-
poses. 1t will be the duty of said keeper
to exercise wise and prudent discretion
in each case, and either grant or refuse
sale, as in his best Judgment complies
with the spirit and provisions of the
ordinance. A public register shall be
kept at said dispensary, showing each
sale, the kind of~liquor and amount sold,
the party to whom sold, to whom de-
livered, and the price paid, and said
register shall be subjected at all reason
able times to inspection by any citizen.
All sales shall be Tor cash, and the keep
er shall furnish statement of the same
to the Mayor and Council at each regular
meeting, and pay to the clerk and treas
urer the full amount of the proceeds of
such sales.
It is made the duty OF the Mayor to
appoint three members of the Council,
to be known as the Committee on Dis
pensary, whose duty it shall be to super
wise the purchasing of all liquors for the
Dispensary, and to cause the same to
be measured, gagged, and tested when
necessary, and inspect the books of the
keeper, and see that his business is hon
estiy and properly conducted, and If
anything is found to be wrong, to report
the facts to the Mayor and Council, who
may suspend or remove such keeper,
and appoint another in his place, at any
time in their discretion.
An excluded list" is provided for,
upon which shall be placed the names
of all who act in bad faith. Any one
whose name has been placed on the
excluded list" and feels that injustice
has been done him by the keeper, may
appeal to the Mayor and Council to have
his name erased from said list, which
the Mayor and Council may order done
by a majority vote, if in their Judgment
either justice or mercy warrants the
same,

A CHICAGO gentleman of wealth and

bestowed upon them, that he resolved
to simply number his children until
they were u years old and then let
them select their own names. The
children are pleased with the idea, and
are great students of names.

Alive Instead of Dead.

According to Paris letter, an elderly
gentleman residing in the Rue Roche
chouart, who was supposed to be dead,
has suddenly come to life. He has n
nephew III Paris, who, being duly in
formed of his demise, repaired at once
to the house, with his wife, to keep
watch over the mortal remains of his
uncle until they should be borne to
their last resting place. Next evening,
as the lady was tired, her husband sent
her to the drawing room to take some
repose on q sofa, and a servant having
placed some wine and broth on a table,
lie threw himself into an armchair in the
bedroom and soon went sOundly to sleep.
On awaking ut 4 in the morning he
found that the broth had disappeared
and that the bottle of wine was half
empty. Becoming alarmed he went to
his wife in the drawing room, reused her,
and told her what had happened. She re-
turned to the bedroom with him, but the
pair had hardly reached the door when
they heard noise. They paused on the
threshold, and, to their CONSERVATION, q
voice babe them not to be afraid but to
come in, The husband entered the
room, but soon rushed out with his hair
standing on end. He had seen his un-
Cle's ghost The old man was sitting,
envelOped in a sheet, on the side of his
bed. The supposed corpse had the ut
most difficulty in getting his panic
stricken relatives to understand chat he
was not dead after all. 81 am alive !"
he repeated, adding that the prepare
tons for his funeral had not escaped his
notice. He had been in a lethargy, and,
waking up, had helped himself to the
broth, which had done him good. Hear
ing someone approaching he had juno
ed into bed, as he was anxious not to
cause any alarm; but Richard was him
self again. He felt perfectly recovered,
and certainly on closer examination the
uncle's appearance by no means belied
his words. The refreshments had come
in most opportunity to restore him, and,
as he was much pleased with the affec,
tionate attention which his relatives had
shown him after his supposed departure
from this world, everything was soon
made happy and comfortable all round.
1 should add that the doctor of the quar-
ter had not yet officially confirmed the
demise of the wealthy uncle, who seems
to have taken new lease of life.

This question is often asked at this season
by persons keeping lens; and the answer is
too often: "No! and suppose they won't lay
until eggs get cheap next spring, just my
luck" 1t ought not to be your luck. Pull
lets Matched in April last should have COM
menced laying month ago; while May and
and June matches should be laying this
month. 1t is not too late even now, to force
the early pullets to laying in a few weeks.
The late ones, even as late as July and Au-
gust, can be brought forward, so as to pay
well, while eggs bring good prices. Strictly
fresh, pullet eggs will probably retail
as high as so to 60 cents per dozen, in

The Physiology OF Pleasure.

The question has often been asked as
to what constitutes the greatest pleas
ure, and who is the happiest man, but
it is obviously one that does not admit
of solution. The intensity of the pleas
ureabIe sensation is a matter of temper
ament and surroundings, but cdeterjS
pariba1s, the happiest man is he who
possesses the greatest sensibility, the
most powerful Imagination, the strong
est will, and the least number Of preju-
dices.
The men are rare who can by an eff
fort of the will arrest the oscillations of
sorrow and allow only cords of pleasure
to vibrate. Pleasure is the mode of
sensation, never the sensation itself,
and it is not paradox, but an incon-
testible physiological truth, to say that
no pleasure exists which is essentially
or necessarily pleasure. The ideal of
perfection in humanity would be to eff
face pain from the list of sensations,
and to give all men the maximum num-
Der of pleasures. All the rest, as the
philosopher said, is but dream and

WOOed and Welded by Signs.



There was a silent wedding last night
in the ladies' parlor at the Grand Paci-
tic. Champion Buchan, who is employed
at the POST Office, and Eleanor Patten,
a tall and beautiful young woman, stood
before DR.. Gillette, the Superintendent
of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at jack
sOnyilie. There were six bridesmaids,
one of whom was so lovely that she
riveted attention, and the bridegroom
was attended by six young men in i'm
maculate frock coats and carnations at
their button-hole. The parlor was filled
with relatives and guests. Nobody spoke
q word. All were deaf and dumb.
"Whersoever thou goest L will go"
said Dr.. Gillette, adding the words of
Ruth to the marriage service.
And the bride, with a pretty, fond
gesture, touched eyes, mouth and heart,
and signifed that she would follow her
husband.
" Whersoever thou abidest I will
abide" continued the Doctor.
And the bridegroom, taking the
brides hand in his, promised with
sign that he would cleave to her.
"The Lord do so to me and more"
SalO LII. OllleIGe, III auRnb DuC death
part me and thee.
The vow was made with quick, loving
movements of hands and eyes; the
bridegroom slipped the ring upon the
brides finger, and so, without uttering
word, they were man and wife.
And then the congratulations began.
The silent guests made a rush for the
bride. They kissed her; they Rugged
her; they cried over her. Their hands
kept futtering around the region of their
heart us though saying that, on this occa-
sion, their hearts alone could speak. A
pretty, dumb boy of four was7brought by
his mother to the bride. He clenched
his chubby fists and stamped his little
feet, and went through pantomime eX-
pressive OF unbOunded love and good
will The bride did not answer him with
signs. She stopped and kissed him, and
a tear fell upon his curls.
cit is one of the rare rOmances which
have touched onr life, said Dr.. Gillette.
'These young folks met at the institu-
ton, they wooed in signs, and MI. Blu

movement of his lips, kissed his hand,

A Cat and Toad Story.

Mrs jansen, of Little Ferry, N. J E,
owns q cat that has formed a curious at
tachment for large toad that has it's
home in a swampy garden. How far the
toad is q contented party to the cats af
fectionate demonstrations Mrs. Jansen
has not been able to ascertain, for the
fat, ungainly creature cannot boast of an
expressive countenance. Pussy, howev-
CT, evidently enjoys the strange friend =
ship she has formed and since the first
day she found the toad peacefully sleep
ing on a stone in the sunshine, and joy
ously took it gently by the shoulder,
with her teeth and carried it into the
house, she has done the same thing
every day. She is very intelligent cat
and she always news loudly to call the
children to see the fun. Then she spends
an hour in tossing the toad into the air
and catching it, like ball, allowing it
to move few yards away from her, and
crawling slowly after it, or bounding
straight upon it from distance and fiat
tening it out upon the floor by pressing
both her fore paws upon its back.
When she tires of the sport she carries
it carefully into the garden and lays it
down on the spot where she picked it
up. The toad makes no effort to escape,
probably knowing the futility of such
course. The shoulder by which it is al
ways carried begins to look as though
1t needed repairs; bnt the cat seems de-
termined to continue the familiar rela-
lions existing between them whether the
toad likes them or not.
