THE RICHEST GIRL.

Miss Jennie Flood, daughter of
millionaire Flood, who died recent
ly at Heidleburg, is very eligible
matrimonial opportunity for some
man who may persuade her to enter
into bonds connubial. She is only
20 years old, goodlooking and prob.
ably the richest woman in the
world. She is undoubtedly the rich
est unmarried woman in the United
States, if young lady of her means
and attractions resident abroad can
properly be considered as belonging
to the great republic.
When the Bonanza mines were at
their zenith, Mr.. Flood gave his
daughter for birthday present 81
SOC, 900 in United States bonds.
This large amount with the accre-
ton therefrom, she possessed before
her fathers ample fortune came in
to her possession. Miss Flood is of
a religious turn of mind and very
devout Catholic. There have been
rumors that she intended to enter a
convent of her own founding, and
devote her immense fortune to its
endowment but this was probably
without foundation.
One thing very much to her cred
it is that she declined to become the
wife of Lord Beaumont mercenary
English nobleman with more Nor
mon blood than pounds sterling.
What Miss Flood should do is very
clear. She should return to Amer
lea and save some deserving Eyoung
man from the sings and
arrows of outrageous fortune by
marrying him.

TEACHING PUPILs.-The New Ha
ven Conn., Newsreports that with
in a short time a very interesting
and instructive branch of learning
has been introduced into the higher
grades of the public schools of that
city. 1t consists of a bulle tin board
upon which are pasted each day
clippings of important home and
foreign news taken from the daily
papers. Special attention is given
to items concerning matters brought
up in connection with the study of
history or geography. The pupils
take great interest in the. "bulle-
tin" and vie with one another to
bring the greatest number of items
which are suitable to be pasted.

THE GAMING EVIL.

There is no passion which more
completely absorhs the devotee and
brings out and develops the latent
bad in him than that of gambling.
The youth, once smitten by its al
lurements, soon finds himself en-
thralled in stronger chains than
those of alcohol, and to break from
them requires an effort almost su-
perhuman. The vice is one which
all too frequently leads to crime,
and many ruined homes and broken
hearts, can be laid to the gamblers
charge. The spirit Of speculation is
rife in this country, and in what are
regarded as legitimate methods there
are temptations which men of iudg-
ment sometimes cannot venture hon
or and fortune on a chance no less
hazardous than the throw of a gam
bler's die. This spirit can only be
kept within bounds, if at all, by
constant precept and admonition-
by pointing to the triumps of strict
integrity within clearly legitimate
lines and the numerous wrecks of
those who have gone beyond them.
The law, too, should render aid SO
far as 1t can to restrict gaming
operations on large scale, but the
line between the permissible and
the prohibited is so hazy that little
can thus be effected.

Mothers, don't destroy your chill
dren's faith in you by not keeping
your promises to them, no matter
how trlfing they may seem. The
simple childish faith they placed in
you should be a reason, if there was
no other, for keeping promise once
made. They child may doubt every
one else, but will believe the moth
er. A child's faith is involuntary,
born of weakness and conscious de-
pendence, and his mother is his law
and gospel. But let a child once
distrust the word of his mother, and
he loses forever his simple childish
faith. 1t is a shock that the tender
sensibilities never recover from, and
often cruel disillusion that makes
him ultimately perhaps cynic.

UNEXPECTED FORTUNE.

WHEN the Bank of Rome failed
in 1881, Mr.. H. NJ. Smith had de-
post ofa few thousand dollars there.
He saw there was little chance to
get his money in Rome, and happen
ing TO hear that the bank had some
property in Alabama, took the first
train for the place. He was the
first man there and secured the
property for his debt. 1t was iron
ore property near Tecumseh, on the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia railroad, and iron ore property
was very common and little value
then. He hardly thought he had
the value of his deposit. After the
iron business began to loom up Mr..
Smith went down to Tecumseh and
opened ore mines on his property.
Chattanooga and Dayton furnaces
took all the ore he could deliver,
and he put in tramway andincreas-
ed his facilities. Last summer the
property was sold to a Tallapoosa
syndicate for $4,000. Since that
time several brick stores have been
built, town has been laid out and
a three story hotel with forty rooms
is being erected and will be hand
somely furnished. The siron ore is
a fine quality of brown hematite,
and it is proposed to erect furnaces
On the property. The new company
is composed of Mr.. Plummer, late
secretary Of the Tallapoosa company;
Mr.. Kibbee, the Tallapoosa banker,
and several gentlemen from Illinois
and Maine.

TO OUR FRIENDS IN MARIETTA.

EDS. JoURNAL-We are panied to
learn that since we left Marietta,
the Whitlock House has been de-
stroyed. While sympathizing sim
cerely with the proprietors in this
disaster, we have also an interest in
the welfare of the invalids who are
thus deprived of pleasant home,
and it occurs to us to suggest to those
who cannot yet venture to return
north, that no better place in the
south can be found than Hotel Ros

ty, Ca, where we are sojourning at
present. Situated on Georgia Rail-
road, a dry, piney atmosphere
same altitude as Aiken, S. c., and
fully equal to it in climatic and cur

like hotel, superintendent by chris
tan and refined ladies, offers advan-
tages not usually found for rest and
recuperation. Leaving Marietta at
1850 p. m, one can check baggage
through to Grovetown via Atlanta,

To Identify a Diamond.

A ready way Of identifying diamond
is given by an expert: Prick needle
hole through n card ,and look at it through
the doubtful stone. If it is spurious, two
holes will be seen distinctly ON the card;
if it is diamond only one hole will be
visible, for there is no other stone at all
resembling the diamond but that gives
a double reflection. This property is also
made use OF for determining an uncertain
stone. If the finger is placed behind it,
and looked at through the stone with n
magniIicr, the grain of the skin will be
plainly visible if the stone is not dia-
mond, but otherwise, it will not be dis
tinguishcd at all. A diamond in solid
setting may be distinguished in the same
way; if genuine, the setting at the back
cannot be distinguished, but if false
stone, either the foil OF the getting may
be plainly soen

The HalrMoon orthc Finger mil.

The half-moon Of the finger nail which
is esteemed so great beauty, if carefully
attended 10, will increase ia time. and
even where it has been almost obliteratcd,
will grow TO be very beautiful. Many
people think that pushing the skin back
from the mil will show il more, and that
by this practice the delicate hem, as we
call it, which holds the upper and under
skins together, is totally destroyed, and
the ends of the fingers have an ugly yell
low growth cncircling the nail instead of
the delicate framework which nature in
tended. Then the way in which the nail
is cut can totally change the shape of the
fingers. BY cutting the nails close at
the sides and keeping the corners from
adhering to the skin, hang nails can be
avoided. Where the nails are thin and
inclined to break, frequent oiing is nee
cssnry, and the nails should never be
polished except when some oily substance
is used beside the powder This keeps
the nails more pliablc, and no matter how
thin they are, if properly treated, they
arc no more liable to break than richer
ones. Another thing that is bad for the
nails is polishing them too roughly.
They should be lightly touched and not
rubbed until they become heated. This
is one cause of white spots coming on the
nail and marring it's beauty.-MMical
