end the uncertainty which had come into ex-

was engaged on some copying when he sp-
preached her and poured out his sentiments,
and notwithstanding the warmth of his
pleadings kept right ahead with the cliokety,

paid so little attention to him that he became
discouraged and left the room, intending to
speak to her when her mind was free from
her duties. He went to his lunch, and on
his return sat down to sign a lot of letters
that lay on his desk. There was large pile
and he went through 1t mechanically until he
struck a sheet near the bottom. Jumping to

THE FERMENT IN ATLANTA.

THE FERMENT IN ATLANTA.
When the thriving and enterprising town
of Atlanta, in Georgia, will quiet down re-
mains to be seen. At present it is tremen-
dously agitated by the crime of Postmaster
Lewis, who appointed negro, G. G. Penny,
to vacant desk in the registered letter de-
partment The postmaster says that he had
to fill the vacancy in the office at once, two
men were certified to him as having passed
the civil-service examination, and he ap-
pointed the black one in the interest of the
service. ''The white man, he says, "I oon-
sidered too young TO be put In responsible
position, and Penny is the best penman and
the brightest of the two."
In addition to being hanged and burned in
efigy, punishment in which the chairman
of the republican executive committee
shared, Postmaster Lewis has been thus sol-
emnly rebuked by the Atlanta Constitution:
"By this appointment the lady who held the
registry desk would have been forced to a
constant exchange of papers with the negro
appointee, to sit facing him at desk for the
most of the day, aud to have been in con-
stant association with him. In doing this he
(the postmaster) made blunder, the motive
of which we need not discuss, and the end
of which we cannot see. 1t was unwiss, in
that it forced an issue at the most delicate
possible point, when no issue at all need have
been made. It was unfortunate, in that II
provokes suspicion and distrust of the peo
pie who had largely endorsed him and who
| had hoped for different things. He owee
different things to the fears and conviction
of this people, If he owed nothing to thei
| kindness and confidence. Thei
(the negross0 share of the patronage can b
| dispensed and enlarged without forcing suol
an issue as comes with this appointment
| without having insult added to the strang
experience-without challenging with CT
of alarm and pain the doubts and the preju
dices and the passions of the people,"
The lady who was thus insulted has re
signed, and her father, who is chief clerk o
the registry department., has given motto
that he will also resign as soon as he can &c
ready to turn the business over to sue
cessor. The members of Postmaster Lewis
club refuse to speak when they pass by, ant
one of the surities on his official bond ha
given notice that he does not wish to b
longer responsible for him. Such is life /

a STUDY OF WOMEN,s FEET.
The Collection made by an Amateur
Photographer at southern Re-


sort.
IFrcm the Brunswick Times.l
Yesterday morning an amateur photo
grapher exhibited to Times reporter se-
ries of twenty-six photographs taken by him
on St. Simon's Island during encampment
week in June last. Most of them showed
the counterfeit presentments of surf bath
ers on the beach in front of the Hotel ST.
Simon's. A popularity about them was that
| in every case, except one, the upper part Of
| the figure was blurred beyond recognition.
while the feet stood out in startling propor-
tions. By way of explanation the photo
grapher aaid:
81 was green hand with the camera, and
somehow or other I couldn't make the thing
work so as to take perfect picture. But
| Just look at these feet! They are large, but
| their outlines are perfect. Since the photo
graphs have been in my possession l have
been making study of feet. For instance,
look here. You see this is a naked foot. 1t
belongs to young lady whose home is In
Atlanta. These little bumps on the toes are
corns. If you'll examine closely you'll OBJ
serve that there are seventeen of them:
Don't you know the youns lady preferred
sitting down to standing ups These cornf
were made by tight shoes. The unfortunate
!. owner of the feet belongs to that very largt
class of women who, when they buy shoes
fit their heads instead of their feet"
The reporter picked out photograph
which showed pair of feet clad in slippers
"Whose are theses" he asked. "They be-
long to a Madison girl" was the reply
"You never saw feet more perfect. By th'
. way, want to call your attention to dis
, covery I've made. These are the feet of I
blonde. You will never see blonde whos'

Experiments with the new elixir of life
are numerous and very satisfactory, accord
ing to the accounts of those interested. Soon,
we suppose, the country will be full of old
men hopping about like grass-hoppers in a
hay field.
The Russian authorities are convinced that
the destruction of forests is having serious
effect upon watercourses 1t Is noted that
the Caspean Sea is perceptibly receding, and
the indications are that in hundred years
the Aral Sea may disappear altogether. The
governments is disposed to take measures to
prevent the rapid and needless clearing of
forest lands.
There is good deal of sympathy with the
wayward girl who was whipped by her
father the other morning. Probably he
whipped her harder than he meant to, and
probably whipping did or would do her no
good. But some fathers can't control them
selves when they see their children going to
destruction. The mistake they make is in
thinking or hoping that they can force them
back into the right path.

Frances subterranean River.

LoNDoN-The subterranean river recent
ly discovered in France in the Miers Dis
trict of the Department of Lot, has now
been traced a distance seven miles to a
point beyond which the three daring ex-
plorers who undertook the task did not
dare to venture, as the river there takes an
abrupt plunge into the bowels of the earth
to depth impossible to fathom. 1t took
three days and nights to accomplish this
journey of seven miles and return, the
greater portion being done in folding
boat made Of sail cloth.
Miers is in the heart of wild mountain
GUS country in the deepest recesses ofwhich
caves and grottoes are found, some ofwhich
appear to have been the abode of our frog
lodyte ancestors The subterranean river
was first discovered month ago at the
bottom of an abyss know as the pit of Pa
derae and was then traced a distance of
two miles.
The whole seven miles so far explored
are In utter darkness, except at the point
where the river was discovered. 1t abounds
is cascades and passes through a succession
of grottoes sparkling with stalacties.
Preparations are being made for further
explorations

SOME startling figures are given by the
London Tablet in support of It's argument
that the English-speaking peoples will rule
the world before the close of the twenty
first century 1t is shown that at the pres
ent hour the people of the United King
dom and the United States represent
about one-ffteenth of humanity and gov
ern one-third of the planet and one-fourth
cr its inhabitants In the beginning of
the eighteenth century this race numbered
less than 5000, 900 souls; at the beginning
of the nineteenth century they increased to
20,500,000; at the present time they are
about 100000, 900. In the space of eighty
years the English-speaking peoples multi
piled five times over, and it is confidently
reckoned that within another hundred
years that they will have outnumbered all
the other civilized peoples put together.
Nj. Hummer, the chief of the Federal
Bureau of Statistics in Switzerland, has
reckoned that the total population of Eu-
rope in the year 1000 will be SIS, 000,0 600,
while Dir. Strong, of New York, reckons
that in 1880 the population of Europe will
be 534,000,O00 The Tablet calculating
upon the same basis, reckOns the popula-
ton Of the United States at the close of the
twentieth century will be 4S0,O00000, and
the total Anglo-Saxon population of the
world 713,OOO,0OO, as compared with 1884,,
600, 600 of continental Europe.
