SMALL PESTS.

The erroneous impression prevails
at the North that the whole South is
afflicted with innumerable insects
and reptilian pests whose torrents
render life burden for two-thirds
of the year. Let us see how this is.
In the first place, we have very few
mosquitoes along the Piedmont belt
hardly enough to keep up a dis
tant acquaintance. We are par
ticular to say ''along the Piedmont
belt" because it would not be true
TO say that there are but few mos
quitos IN the South. Other sections
will have to report for themselves.
But here it is entirely unnecessary
to screen doors and windows as a
protection against mosquitoes. The
screens are useful, however, to keep
out flies by day and millers and
moths by night. Flies are not as
numerous as at the North, and gen.
orally, so far as the enjoyment of
home life is concerned, there is
greater freedom from insect annoy
ances. Fleas are somewhat trouble
some, especially where hogs run at
large and dogs are numerous. Ticks
and chiggers have their haunts in
the timber, but if care is used to
avoid them they are not often en-
countered. The house keeper will
occasionally find her pantry infested
with ants, just as at the North.
This is not such paradise that we
know nothing of the little trials,
but in summoning up we have de-
cidedly the advantage of the North
generally.
In the second place, this section
OF Georgia is not seriously infested
by snakes. Very few snake bites
are recorded and it may be safely
said that the Western states pro-
duce as many poisonous snakes as
Georgia. No one need have any
apprehensions of greater danger from
this source than at the North. =

PUREST BLOOD.
A COMPLIMENT FROM AN UNEX.
pECTED SOURCE.

Bishop Newman, who was Gen.
Grants pastor in Washington, de-
hvered an address in Roanoke, Va,
few nights ago. Among other
things, he said: ''The purest blood
ia America flows through the veins
Of the sons Of the south, and | do
not know but that they ought to
thank God that thew were born south
OF tine Potomac. In the north the
native born citizens are engaged
IN a death grapple with a dangerous
foreign element, with ideas antagon-
lstlc and dangerous TO our form of
republican government. This ele-
ment is obtaining q foothold in con-
gress, in state legislature and in
municipalities, and the day may
come when the south will have to
march forth to preserve our dearest
national institutions from foreign
encroachment." With reference to
the race problem, he repeated what
ne said recently to the governor of
South Carolina, viz: eff the people
of the south will commit the settle
ment of this question to me, I will
dispose of it quickly. l would draw
line of distinction, placing upon
one side the educated, intelligent
and patriotic, without regard to
race or color, and upon the other
side the ignorant, without regard to
race or color. Then l would permit
intelligence to rule, and bring the
influence of religious education to
bear upon the ignorant" These
statements will, doubtless, give the
bishop a good deal of newspaper
notoriety, and, perhaps, that was
what he wanted.

Our travelling men as rule are men of

preston on the public by their engaging
manners, but when the true gentleman with
kind and sympathetic impulses and that
feeling Of tenderness, known only to men

drummer" is not behind his fellows.
Captain c. f. Hoke, one of the most
widely known travelling men in the South,
writes: II got from you bottle of Cali
saga Tonic for my little daughter, who had
no appetite. She had not used more than
half the bottle before she had an excellent
appetite and regained her strength with
astonishing rapidity. believe it to be an

BOOST YOURSELF.

A small boy was endeavoring to
climb tree, and was standing with
arms and legs embracing it, when he
saw another boy passing on the other
side of the street, and called out to
him: II say, Bill, come over and
give us a BOOST" Bills answer was
not polite nor helpful, but it con-
tanned a full bushel of common sense.
"Boost yourself'' he said, senten-
tiously, and walked on about his
business. Perhaps it would have
been better for him to go across and
help a fellow, but he spoke a SEN
tence of sound philosophy in those
two words. There are many people
in this world waiting for somebody
to give them a boost, when what
they need is to boost themselves. 1t
will often do boy more good to
make his own start in life than to
have some other person start him.
Find your own place, and then you
will have shown your own power,
and not some other mans influence.
There are plenty of Micawbers wait
ing for something to turn up, when
they ought to 90 out and turn up
something. Find tree which bears
fruit worth climbing after, take firm
hold, and then boost yourself.

My mother has had cough for twenty
years, pneumonia leaving her with bron.
chial trouble. Two years ago, her lungs
becoming involved, she became very much
emaciated and lost all stgength, being
under regular treatment of a physician
and taking medicine all hours of the day.
This continued until year ago when saw
your advertisement of Ackers English
Remedy for Consumption and procured a
bottle, as the tickling in her throat was
unremitting and so irritating as to make
talking impracticable. She was so much
relieved that another bottle was procured,
and we now buy by the case, she never being
without it. She has no physician and
takes no other medicines. She remarked
lately that if she had not procured it when
she did she would now be dead.
We have recommended it to others, who
always receive benefit from it. If any one
desiring further particulars will address
me with a stamp l will answer with pleas
ure, as | deem it the best cough medicine
made.
A trial only is necessary to convince
anyone of its merit. Yours respectfully,

"Whisky never misses fire." said
man to us the other day. No; it
never does. 1t is sure to bring down
its victim sooner or later, whether he
be high or low in the social or intel
lectual scale. And futtering all
about him will be the wounded
hearts of mother, father, wife, chill
dren, sisters, brothers, and friends,
while beyond and behind all this is
too often a trial OF ruined virtue and
concentrating influence. At least
six hearts on an average carry life
long, overshadowing, dreary sorrow,
for every victim alcohol brings down.
The undertow of all family and

and dreary heartache over victims of
alcohol. No ; whisky never misses

The census of 1880 was a surprise
to the country as regards the south,
and that of 1890 doubtless will be
also. The annual birth rate in Tex
as and Arkansas is greater than that
of the six New England States, and
that of the southern states is nearly
as great as that of all the other states
and the territories. The six states
with the highest birth rates are
Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama.
The annual birth rate to every 1000
population in some sections of the
United States and III other countries
is as follows: Southern states SO,
New England states %, Sweden 30,
Switzerland 81, Belgium 81, Eng
land 81. It will be seen that not
only is population increasing more
rapidly in the south than in New
England, but it is increasing more
rapidly than in any of the foreign
countries named.

WHAT THEY DO.

To show what cotton factories do
for place, we need only mention
Columbus, Ga, which has 2,7O2
looms and 63,660 spindles in opera
ton. The number of hands required
to run this machinery reaches 5000,
and there are at least 1900 people
outside of these, directly dependent
on these factories for their support.
Every one of these people are rent
ers or owners of dwellings, and have
to buy food and clothing, which
shows how large a stream of money
flows from these factories and their
operatives monthly. They give en-
ployment to as many people as we
have population in Marietta. How
great a stimulus a cotton factory
would give to the growth and pros
perity of town. 1t is we'll enough
to invite people to come to our fine
climate and make Marietta their
home, and the JOURNAL repeatedly
holds out our superb advantages for
this purpose, but this cannot be
made a rich mans paradise simply
to have a residence, but we must
have other classes of people, and to
have them we must furnish them
with employment. Manufacturing
enterprises and industries are the
great desideratums to dc this.

Women to the Front.

Evidences multiply of the increasing
prominence Of women in the great ac-
tivltles Of the metropolis. They are.
OF course, by virture of their sex, the
leaders Of its social life but thev have
pressed to the front in mauv other di-
rections, in which men alone held
sway. There is probably not a church
or philanthropic institution in the CITY
that does not rely to very large de-
gree on the active and intelligent as
assistance Of the women for its support.
they are taking a leading part ia ed
ucatloual matters. The opening of
Barnard College as an adjunct of Co.
lumbla and the signal victory for the
women in the matter of representa-
tlon in the Board Of Education. are
recent evidences Of this In business.
too, women are coming into active
competition with men to a greater
extent in this city than probably any
where else in the world. They are
pushing into all the professions.
Night as we'll as day they NAV be seen
at work in the newspaper offices. In
some lines Of labor formerly performed
entirely b !. men, they have now the
field pra, cally all to themselves.
They are ganizing clubs and socie-
ties. \ L; les Club has, within a few
weeks, beei established in Lexington
avenue, ful.y equipped in all respects
/ like the male institution with the ex-
ceptiOn of wine and card rooms. The
sorosis, a society of long standing, now
has regular dinners at DelmOnico's,
just like the men, only far more en-
tertaining. a society has been formed
to which only women of high literary
attainments are eligible, sort of Au-
thOr's Club in fact. No important
| public movement can be a success now
without the support of women ex-
pressed openly or through the subtler
influences of the family. If anybody
| doubts the ability and readiness of the
nineteenth century woman to attempt
anything possible to man let him listen
to Miss Edwards lecturing learn
edly on Egyptian researches, or follow
! the rapid movements of Nellie BLY, and
Miss Bisland in their trips around the
world in 75 days.-NeU York Cor. Of the

Popularity of Physical Culture.

DR.. Sargent, professor of physical
culture insHarvard College, saws that
1t IS the object of the gymnastic train
ing IN that institution to turn out 100
strong, athletic men rather than one
man or team who can break records.
Ii VIII be well if the same policy gov
erns all colleges and clubs formed for
the cultivation of athletic sports.
1t did not need the splendid DISPLAY
OF enthusiasm witnessed at the football
contest between Yale and Princeton on
Thanksgiving Day to prove the grow
ing popularity of physical culture.
Evidences of the fact are SO Dleptv
that every observer must have been
impressed with them. All kinds of
athletic sports are attracting many
times the amount of attention they
once did. Gymnasiums and schools of
physical culture are springing up. and
no city IS so smell that it cannot boast
an athletic club or organization OF
some kind
The fact of the popularity of physi-
cal culture having thus been estab-
llshed, 1t remains to direct that enthu-
siasm in the channel which will CON
duce most to the public good. 1t
should be in the line indicated by DR.
Sargent. If the present interest in
gymnastics is used simply to encour-
age few men or a boat crew or a
foot ball team to develop an abnor-
nal amount of muscle for exhibition
purposes the enthusiasm now felt in
athletics will soon die out. A broader
and more permanent basis for this in
terest must be found.
1t is encouraging, therefore. to see
the many evidences that the interest
IN athletics Is not confined to clubs and
teams, beneficial as these undoubtedly
are. Any manufacturer of athletic
apparatus will testify that he never
sold so great a variety and so mauy
machines for aiding in physical deyei-
opment as now. Another encourag-
ing circumstance is the fact that so
amuch OF this apparatus goes into the
hands OF men over 40 years of age. a
period Of life when men are apt to
abandon all systematic physical cul-
ture. No more significant sign Of the
permanenCe Of the at hletic interest
could be given than this.
As DR.. Sargent SAYS "a man can be
made courageous, active, vigorous. self.
reliant by appropriate physical exer-
clse." 1t Is towards turning out a
race of such men and not towards de-
veloping few exceptional athletes
that the present interest in physical
culture should be directed.

Dogs, Property.

The last Legislature Of PenDsyl-
vania enacted a law which was long
needed, and provids that all dogs in
that State shall hereafter be personal
property and subject of larceny. In
to the time Of the passage of this act
neither dogs, cats, apes, parrots or
singing birds We're subject Of larceny.
because, as the highest legal authori-
ties put it, they are only kept for
plasure, whim or curiosity" Some
years ago man took a dog belonging
to another, and when the owner called
him a dog thief entered a suit against
him for libel, which was finally settled
in his favor by the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, which decided that as a
dog was not property it could not be
stolen, A similar law prevails in this
State, and unless a dog is registered
with the clerk of the peace in the
county where his owner resides he is
not property and can be taken by any
one.
The mere fact of the owner having
registered him in accordance with the
ordinance of the city, will not avail
and does not constitute him property.
On the other hand the fact that a dog
is registered with the clerk does not
give him immunity from the city ordi-
nance, which provides that all dogs
unregistered by the chief of police,
found running at large, shall be taken
! up and killed, and also says that any
one keeping an unregistered dog on
his premises shall be liable to a heavy
| fine. Thus it will be seen that the
only safe way that dog can be kept,
so that if it should be need his owner
will have legal protection, is to pay
both the city and county tax,-DeI.
