They were armed mostly as soldiers, but with
more Of ornament and with greater saIendor.
Their helmets were OF various shapes, but
each had a broad brim and visor consisting
Of four plates, the upper two being pierced

the top, also, there was what one might liken
to the comb Of n cock, and fastened TO this,

crimson feathers.
Some were called "Samnites, the name OF an
Italian tribe that once nearly brought Rome
70 her knees. These carried a short sword
and a large ohlong shield; others were armed
as Thracians or as Greeks Others, again,
were distinguished by the symbol OF a fish
upon their helmets. But the most curious Of
all were those called 'netmen," who were
equipped with a net in which 70 entangle

CARTERsvILLE, Ga July John Taylor
of this place could never pose for the hero in
Gebault's "Un Homule Sans Une Historic"
He claims TO be son of President Zachary
Taylor, to have been taken into Kentucky
hv his fathers orders and subsequently to
have served in the Mexican war. Although
as white as his master Taylor was brought
up among the muattoes on the plantation OF
William r. Johnson, great Kentucky
horse man in those days land always sup
posed himself to be possessed Of a slight faint
of negro blood: but after the death of Gen.
TAYLOR in 1850 the secret leaked out that his
mother was young Spanish creole, who had
died a year after his birth. He had then
been married to mulatto about six weeks.
Near the close of the rebellion he had ac-
cumulated fortune of $50, 900 which was in
vested in tobacco, when the bombardment
of Atlanta occurred. 1t was then that the
Federal soldiery, armed with an order from
headquarters to search certain warehouses
of tobacco in the suburbs, broke open and
confiscated the entire contents OF Taylor's
barn and left him almost penniess to-
bacco warehouse was of great value at that
period Taylor happily recolected his ser
vices as valet in 1867, and what good
hair dresser he had been 1t was Of frequent
occurrence for him to be complimented by
northern and southern officers alike on bis
phenomenal skill as a tonsorial artist in those
DAYS, SO he sold his house and personal ef-
fects, bought for song shaving palace ON
Decatur street, Atlanta, and commenced to
make money. He had the entree, as it were,
into military circles, and had for regular
customers at various times Gems Sher-
man, Slocum, Cobb, Judah, johnson, Ste
venson. "Bob" Toombs. Ben Hill and Alex
ander b. Stephens His shop was the rendez-
vous for military characters OF all shades OF
distinction from suffers boy TO the COM
manding general himself. In addition to
this major" Taylor, as he was called, car
ried on huge boarding and gambling house.

which forced Taylor TO 60 south and be shot

He tried frantically but in vain, he told me
as sat in his shop at Cartersville the other
day, to sell for dollar and a quarter g mas
sive plate mirror, which had cost him nearly
City dollars He was offered ten in gold for
his house and shaving palace with fixtures.
He fed to Chattanooga and engaged himself
to Gen. Stedman rs a body servant. In the
summer of 1885 he came to Gainesville and

June has passed, and if the Inter portion
Of it is to be considered representation OF
what the summer will be, God save the poor
who cannot get away, and must needs suffer
in the crowded tenement houses which go to
swell the death rate in extremes Of weather.
For several days during the heated term the
signal man on top of the Equitable building
predicted a cold wave from the west Every
day it grew hotter. There is something irri-
tating in passing thermometer marking l01
degs in the shade, and having some govern
ment official hundred and fifty feet in the
air, with delightful breezes floating past him,
insisting that the highest record for the day
was only 9s degs
The death rate increased seriously dur
ing the hot week, and when we consider that
those who inhabit the better class Of dwell
inss were out Of town, and the figures are
made largely from the poorer classes, We
may imagine possibly the sufferings Of those
who live In the tenements The unequal di-
vision Of wealth and its consequent, at least
apparent, injustice, r. evident from the fact
that during the hot week people were dying
In the overcrowded tenements, while hum
dreds Of residences were shut up empty, their
owners being in the country.
Those New Workers who can do so mostly
20 TO the New England coast. The Long
Island and New Jersey coasts are plagued
with mosquitoes, while in Massachusetts, and
New Hampshire there is an absence Of this
pestiferous insect, and more northerly,
cooler climate. Still Long Branch on the
southwest and the Long Island beaches on
the northeast claim large number Of New
Workers. The Adirondacks is the favorite
among those who prefer inland and highland
regions. +. A. Mitchell

free trade'of President Cleveland and
the Mills bill. This is why all Eng
land is shouting with joy for Mr..
Cleveland's reelection. They know
they do not need to be told-that
he has set his face resolutely towards
free trade
The boldness of this free trade
movement would be astounding but
for the personnel of the men who lead
it. Thereby hangs very interesting
and startling chapter of the situation.
1t is a chapter too that we need to
think about. The principals in this
free trade assault, aside from the
President, are Mills of Texas, Carl
isle and Breckenridge of Kentucky
and Breckenridge of Arkansas. Not
one of these men has had any special
training for the difficult and delicate
task of revising the tariff. The three
first named are lawyers, and the last
named cotton planter. Telegraph.

The Lost Cause.

On the confederate Memorial day,
June 6. at Baltimore, Gen. Bradley
t. johnson, president of the Mary
land confederate society, made re-
markable speech. Among other things
he said:
The south is progressing. She is
not dead. These old confederate
soldiers and their descendants elect
sixty out of every hundred congress
men, thirty-four out of the United
States senators and the president of
the United States. The government
is now controlled by confederate
soldiers. These old confederate SOL
diers are not idle. Their work for
twenty-six years in government, in
railroads and in industrial enterpris-
es of all sorts is making itself felt
all over the land. In 1890 Texas
will send twenty-five men to con-
gress. The anxiety will be then not
who can carry New York in the cleo
ton, but who can win Texas.
Of the lost cause Gen. Johnson
said:
don't believe the United States
had right to coerce the Southern
people. | said | would fight if they
tried to do it, and l did fight. |
would do the same thing tomorrow,
as God is my witness.
Among other features of this
speech was an elaborate oulogy of
Jefferson Davis. There are some
citizens left in the country who
would prefer an administration which
is not, and cannot be claimed to be
controlled 6y ex-rebels.

Something to Think of.

The first blow for free trade and
the entire reversal of the domestic
policy of the United States has been
struck in the House this week by
placing wool on the free list, thus by
every principle of logic destroying
every element of protection to the
American farmer, for if wool cannot
stand as a protected interest no agri-
cultural product can. When the far
mer is excluded from all protection
he will soon vote to exclude every
body else from protection. Then will
come in the reign of free trade with
all that that implies. This is why
every free trader in the land is so de-
lighted with the first steps towards
