GENERAL GORDON'S THANKS.
How he Feels Toward the. People Who Re
jciced Over his Election.

ATLANTA, GA, Nov. %.--General
Gordon gives to the press a general
card Of thanks which will appear IN to-
morrow mornings Constitution:
"To the Press and to my friends gen.
orally throughout Georgia and other
States who have so faithfully labored
for my election, and to my friends in
the legislature, both in and out of the
Alliance, who so heroically and firmly
stood by me in the recent senatorial
contest; and to thousands of friends in
this State aud throughout the Union,
who, by telegram, letters, or public
demonstrations have signitied their
qualification at the result of the recent
election, wish to return through the
public press my heartfelt thanks, and
to give assurance of my sincere appre-
ciation. This method Of making my
grateful Acknowledgements seems appro-
pirate. because these testimonials are so
generous. so spontaneous, and so nu-
merOu5.

ANSWERS SHORT AND SHARP.
What Napoleon, Wellington, Carlyle, Jer-
rold, and Others Said,

From Cassell's Saturday Journal.]
Robert Hall, even when insane, did
not lose his wonderful power of repair
tee. An insincere condoler once visited
him in the asylum and said, in hypo-
critical tone, "What brought you here,
Mr.. Hall?" "What will never bring
you, sir-too much brain."
The extreme sensitiveness OF Thacr-
eray to criticism is well known. n.
once said to Douglas Jerrold, II hear
you have been saying that The Vir-
ginians is the worst book ever wrote"
II never said anything Of the kind"
said Jerrold; II said it was the worst
book that anybody ever wrote"
A lady who lived near Thomas Car
lyle kept Cochin-China fowls, and the
Growing was so intolerable a nuisance
that the philosopher sent to complain
of it. The lady was indignant. "Why,"
she said, "the fowls only crow four
times day, and how can Mr.. Carlyle
be so much annoyed at that?" "The
lady forgets," was the characteristic
rejoinder, "the pain suffer is waiting
for those four crows"
The old nurse of James /, having
followed him from Edinburg to Lon
don, entreated him to make her son a
gentleman. "My good woman," said
the king, II might make him laird
Qand owner, but I could never make
him gentleman"
"They tell me, sir John, that you
like glass Of wine," said George III
to the commander-in-chief Of IrelanS,
"Those who have reported that fact"
replied Sir John Irwin, "have done me
great injustice. I like bottle"
The Duke of Norfolk, who was much
addicted to the bottle, asked Foote, the
actor, in what new character he should
&c to masquerade. ''Go sober," was
was the instant reply.
A young officer complained to Napo-
leon that he had been six years lieu
tenant. II served seven years in that
grade" was the answer, "and it has
not prevented me from making my
way"
Napoleon was, at one period Of mis-
career, great economist. He said, be-
tween ST. Cloud and Paris, to Lauris-
ton, "Why does not the carriage 60
faster?' ut would" answered Lauris-
ton, "if more oats were allowed"
The transition from Napoleon to
Wellington is easy. On one occasion
the duke was in imminent danger of
being drowned at sea. The captain of
the ship at bedtime came to him and
said, "It will soon beall over with us.'
every WE'LL" answered the duke, "then
shall not take off my boots" Atsome
party lady of high rank asked him
whether it was true that he bod been
surprised at Waterloo by Napoleon II
never was surprised till now" was the
characteristic reply.

Why Money is Scarce.
From the Macon Telegraph. ]

FROM the MACON 1eleSIapu'
The scarcity of money at the present
time is not a matter to be wondered at.
There is more money in circulation
now than there ever was before, but at
the same time, the margin of unem-
ployed and loanable capital is smaller
than usual. The great money reserves
of the country have recently undergone
heavier tax than they ever endured
before. Within the past twelve months
over 5000, 900, 900 has been spent in the
construction and equipment Of new
railroads. Building has progressed
throughout the country at rate un-
precedented. The new buildings in
New York and Brooklyn alone during
the last year represent an investment
of about 500, 100000, and it is estimat-
ed that the account of the whole coun-
try for building during the same period
will foot up at least S6OO,0DO,OO0. The
amount of money withdrawn from re-
productive use in jewelry and orna-
mental goods has been enormous, as
we may know from the fact that dur
ing the last twelve months more than
S12,OO0,0O0 has been invested in import
ed precious stones alone. Recently
large amount of American securities
have been sent from Europe to this
country for redemption. How much
money there is boarded in the country
nobody knows, and this is the uncer-
tain factor in the whole problem of our
money supply. The New York Com
mercial Bulletin says on this point:
In few of the States savings banks
provide means ofgathering and utiliZ-
ing such sums as the people save, while
in other States building and loan and
other such associations serve similar
purpose. But if only one-ffth Of the
population has over one thousand mil
lions on deposit in savings banks, there
must be enormous sums slowed oway
somewhere by the people Of other. rts
Of the country where such facilities .
| not exist. Especially at the South
which is peculiarly lackiug in such IA
cilities, the development Of industries
! and of wealth has of late been wonder
fol, and it would not be strange if the
sums boarded had greatly increased in
that section, which means so much
withdrawal of currency from common
use.

AWAKE WHEN NEEDED.
Lively Work by a Stupid-looking Man
When Every Second Counted.

From the Detroit Free Press.
We had come down from Virginia
watering place in the mountains to
small railroad station on the banks of
Cheat River. The tracks could be
seen for about a mile either way, and
the roadbed ran within six feet Of the
bank. There was nothing to see but a
plain building, water tank, and a
man seated on a box with bis back to
the building and sound asleep. We
sat down on a rock on the opposite side
of the track for a smoke and had
been quiet for two or three minutes
when the sleeping man suddenly
sprang to his feet with a yell. We
hadn't heard the slightest noise to
alarm him, neither had any of US given
him a start, but as he sprang down
the track and looked up and down we
heard that queer noise which the rails
give out when train is approaching.
There was switch there running
alongside the platform, but the rusty
rails showed that it was seldom used.
The lever to throw it was a hundred
feet above US. At the lower end tie
was placed across the rails.
AS We looked up the track we saw
two runaway freight cars coming
down at a wild pace. AS we looked
down the track we saw the day ex-
press coming around curve. We did
not stir foot, but the man who had
slept in the sun ran to the bar and
threw it over. Then he ran to the end
of the switch and slowed the tie around
diagonally. He did not have time tc
move thirty feet before the ears ran
upon the switch with an awful clatter
travelled itslength in two seconds, and,
as the wheels struck the tie the cars

whats the matter?" asked th'
conductor.
80, nothing; I just switched thos'
cars into the river" replied the man
Never a passenger on that trail

NIB. GONZALES RESIGNS.
He Cannot Affiliate with the Incoming
Axl,nistration-Good Luck to Him.

columbia Record, Nov. 25th
To-day Mr.. n. G. Gonzales sewers
his connection with the News aud
Courier, and, as its representative at
this place, is succeeded by Mr.. NJ. +.
Tighe.
Since August, 1880, the familiar in
itials IN. G. G." have appeared almost
daily in the columns of the News and
Courier and above them have been
written in pure English and in ele-ss
CANT style truthful accounts ofall in-,
cidents that it had been the wires bus
ness to report. His initials and h.s
articles will be missed much and the
many warm friends and admirers of
Mr.. Gonzales in Columbia regret that3
be will no longer represent the News
and Courier and no longer live in their
midst. The causes that led to Mr..
Gonzales resignation were his un-
compromising and increasing oppsi-
ton to Governor-elect Tillman and
their realization that he could not'rep.
resent the News and Courier here and
what it doubtless hopes to be 10 the
future, the administration organ. So
he rendered his resignation and it was
reluctantly accepted by the chiefs of
~ No,rc nd Hourior
Mr.. Gonzales first took charge of the
News and Courier bureau in this city
in August, 1880. Here he remaine1
until October, 1881, when he Went
Washington as the Courier's specisS
correspondent and continued there un
til August, 1882. During this time
Mr.. Gonzales reported the famous ex-
ira session of Congress and the Guiteau
trial. It was there that he first made
his reputation as journalist. In Au-.
gust, 1882, he went to Charleston and
did editorial work until January, 1883,
when he came back to Columbia and
here he has been ever since.
Since 1880 Mr.. Gonzales reported
every campaign in this State but the
last, in which he reported few meet
ines. He was the compiler of Colum-.
bias trade review last year in the News
and Courier: than which no more COM
plete and we'll written account has
never been done.
Mr.. Gonzales plans for the future
are not yet determined, but he viii
probably leave Columbia about De-
cember 10th for the North. We ali
wish him we'll and the Record gives
him Godspeed in all that ne may
undertake. ss

DRESSES BEFORE THE FLOOD.
how the Women that Went Inside the Ark
Were Probably Gowned.

DR.. Julian J. Chisolm, who has trav-
eled extensively, and is close observ-
er, when asked by Baltimore reporter
to name what startled him the most in
his sightseeing trip of the last summer,
said:
"The street dress of the ancient Assy-
rian ladies'"
Among the collection Of Babylonish
antiquities of the British museum his
attention was attracted to the little
hollow cylinders made from some very
hard stone or onyx, chalcedony, jaspar,
or lapis lazuli, which were used as sig
nets by the ancient Babylonians. Their
age, as chronolegically established, is
300 B. c., long before the time assigned
to the building of the Tower of Baby
Ion, and about the period of the de-
struction of the world by the great
deluge. These cylinders are the length
and size of lady's finger. Upon their
surfaces are beautifully cut intaglios.
To exhibit the nature and perfection
Of these ancient carvings on such very
hard substances, the custOdians of the
museum had made imprints in fine
plaster, which was placed by the side
of these cylinders. Some of these i'm
pressions, as sharp as the most perfect
cutting on gems of the present day,
represented female figures dressed in
the walking costume of that very dis
tant period. The style of the dress was
very striking. The gown was a tight
fitting gown with long fitting sleeves.
Tie skirts clung to the figure, about as
it does to-day on ladies fashionably at
tired. The distance from the waist to
the hem Of the garment was equally
given to three broad dounces or over
skirts, each made apparently of the
same material, plated in the accordion
plaits, so fashionable in this year, 1890.
The hat worn was high one, the
figures being small, not much over an
inch in length, the peculiarities of the
hat could not be made out.
It seemed not unlike those which
form so disturbing an element in the
theatre seats of the present day. The
whole costume was of so familiar a ma
ture that it would not attract special
attention ifseen upon ourstreets to-day,
and yet these ladies lived and dressed
over 1000 years ago.
Fashions are known to revolve IN
circles and are continually returning
to those previously discarded. These
Babylonish signers, with their wonder
full carvings, preserved to us from ante
deluvial times, establish the truth of
this adage beyond peradventure. From
these very curious and historical prints
the inference may be drawn that most
likely the female members of Noah's
family, when they sought refuge in the
ark, wore high hats and accordion
plated gowns.

The Wadsworth Vlll.
TLaurens Advertiser. |

About 1870 Thamrs Wadsvorth. a
philanthropic Irishman, Of Charleston,
by bis will devised large bodies of land
situated in Laurens, Anderson, Spar
tanburg and other districts in this
State for the purpose Of maintaining a
free school for the poor white children
of Major Dunlap's battalion in Lau-
rens district. This battalion embraced
the southern portion of Laurens, about
one-fftieth of her territory. A school
was established near Milton on tract
of 100 acres, and the school has been
maintained up to the present moment.
The greater portion of the lands were
leased and the leases are now expiring
in different parts Of the country. Va
rious suits are pending, parties in pos
session resisting the claims Of the tPus-
tees and relying upon the question OF
locating the lands as q defence. At
Anderson suit has been pending for
several terms against Jas. l.. Orr and
others, defendants, the main question
being one of location. At the present
term ofcourt the case was compromised,
the defendants paying $1,000. The case
went to the Supreme court and was
severely contested. AS test case it
will probably have a bearing upon
other cases pending and large num-
ber of leases soon to expire. 1t is to be
hoped that the noble purpose Of this
noble phinantropist will not be de-
feated.
Messrs. n. S. Harris, Ferguson &
Featherstone and J. G. .. Feather
stone represented the trustees, Wells,
Orr & Tribble, Prince & Vandiver,
Murray & Brazeale, the defendants.
In connection with this suit it may
be stated that early in the history Of
this country the Legislature enacted
that the statute of Limitation should
not run against the claim OF the trus-
tees of Wadsvorth to land embraced
in this will. About 1854 they brought
suit to recover the lands on which An
derson city is largely built. The lands
were clearly identified, but the court
ruled that as no lease was established,
twenty years presumed a grant, and
thus a large portion of that city was
lost to this noble charity. DR.. A. c.
Fuller, member elect from this county,
as surveyor, located the lands. CHIEF
Justice Simpson and the late W. a
Henderson, represented the trustees.
The fund originally arising from the
leases was mostly lost as the result o.
the war.
