IT is proposed by the Chickamauga
Memorial Association that the ground
on which the celebrated battle of Chick
amauga was fought be bought by the
Association and converted for all time
into a National Park. This project
will be pushed at the annual reunion
of the Army of the Cumberland, when it
is held at Chattanooga on September 19.
Efforts are being made to secure the at
tendance at this reunion of members of
the Confederate army who fought in the
battle of Chickamauga.

ART OF EATING WATERMELON.
Baltimore American

BdIIIInOTt AIlltTIcdn.
Eating water melon is an art, learned
only by experience. AS dessert it is
not success. 1t falls too heavily on a
dinner. Like pretty girl, it is best by
itself; it loses half its charm by being
mixed in crowd, The melon should be
cold. 1t should be ripe. Its flesh should
blush like IA graduate. Its heart should
glow like a sun-kissed cloud at close of
day, and its temperature should be as
the smile of Boston belle. When you
get such treasure, do not bother with
other food. Open it, gaze on it, bury
your face in its sweetness, and let your
appreciation run riot.

THURSDAY, AUGUST %, 1889.

THE remarkable outbreak of negro
superstition in the Georgia Midlands, in
which two Messiahs, King Solomon,
the Queen of Sheba and pair of Neb-
uchadnezzars rapidly appeared upon the
scene, has been followed by an even
more amazing vagary of religious fanat-
icism in Northern Alabama. At the
bidding of black Daniel three young
negroes have rushed headlong into an
iron smelling furnace, under the convie-
ton that they were Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abednego, and that by an act Of
faith they could pass through the fiery
ordeal unharmed. The prophet, after
waiting for them to reappear from the
white heat, proclaimed their ascension
attended by legion of angels, and pre-
dicted their resurrection on Sunday.
Ignorance lies at the bottom of these
extraordinary manifestations of rellg-
ious frenzy. Alabama and Georgia,
like the remaining cotton States, have
Systematically shirked the responsibility
of educating the colored race.

DEMOCRATIC DEFALCATIONs.

Fairfield County Republican.
Were the Democratic editors of Ohio
in even mild degree consistent, they
would this week jump upon the derelict
Sheriff of Paulding County with both
feet. But the chances are that they so
exhausted themselves in their expires
siOns of horror, and condemnation over
the croOkedness of the Warren County
Auditor and Treasurer, whom the Re
publicans are now prosecuting, tnat they
will be as mild as sucking doves" That
we still live in the shadow of Thornt
Bakers gigantic steal is not forgotten
Neither is it that the taxpayer of Fair
field County have been compelled to
make it good; nor that the Democratic
officials have ever punished any one
therefor; nor that other officials have
subsequently been indicted and still not
punished.

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE FIELD, of the Su-
preme Court of California, was arrested
on Friday, on a charge of murder, pre-
ferred by Mrs. Terry. He applied for a
writ of habeaS corpus before Judge Saw

and was released on $1,000 bail. The
funeral of the dead man was largely at
tended, but the Supreme Court refused
to adjourn in respect to his memory.

THE people of Georgia fall back on
the lynching of a colored man, when
other sources of recreation fail This
happened on Sunday, few miles from
Savannah, when Walter Asbury, ne
gro, was strung to the limb of a tree, and
his body perforated with bullets, because
of an alledged criminal assault on q
young German girl. OF course, Asbury
had no trial, and no opportunity to
prove his innocence, when "nigger'
execution could be had.

THE Columbus Dispatch of Saturday,
says: Col. Poorman is said to be casting

playing in rather hard luck in the mat
ter of rewards from the National Ad-
ministration, and his many friends here
would be pleased to see him come back
in legislative capacity.

STILL A CHANCE.

Springfield CIass) Republican.
Judge Terry had five indictments
hanging over his head for disturbances
in Court, and his wife has three. Judge
Deady, of Oregon, who expected to hold
Court in San Francisco in a few days,
was also the object of Terry's hate, and
if Terry had lived the Judges of the Pa
cific Coast might have been under the
necessity of travelling in steel lined coach
es, like the Gar. However, Mrs. Terry
is still with them, and the possibility of
sensational episodes is not completely
cut off.
