THE FAIR GROUNDS.

Perhaps no finer selection could
have been made than to locate the site
for the fair within the grounds of the
famed Piedmont Park. On every side
rises the wooded hills clothed in the
variagated colOring of the sere leaves
of an early autumn. The main en-
trance is hanked by two Moorish
towers. Just inside the entrance a
broad macadamized avenue enoircles
an immense grand stand fronting the
racing ground and judges stand, the
circle within the race track being de-
voted to shows of various sorts.

ELECTRIC MOTORS.

You remember it was but the other
day that this boy-clectricity was pre-
sented to you in swaddling clothes and
somewhat lmpotent as power. Now
however, ne has become manly enough
TO drive light motors and even draw
loaded trains up and down steep
grades.
One of the conceits of the rapidity of
these electric motors were two polished
brass disks revolving at an incline 50

WILMINGTON, DEL, Nov. 7, $780,
At 3.37 A. NJ, Oct. 2Sth we left Cor.
dele, Ga, by the Georgia, Southern
and Florida r. r., en- route for the
North. The early morning walk
through the silent streets of the" Magic
city, had for its accompaniment, the
glorious magniicence of the frma-
ment above spangled with the lights
and consultations that seem to glow
and hold courtly lustre in these warm
cllmes continually. We procured
tickets for Atlanta via Macon, intend
ing to get a glimpse of the Gate CITY"
and take in the Exposition, then being
held at Piedmont Park, suburb
breathing place a mile or two outside
the city limits on the North East.
MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA.
At the same time q Fair was being
held at Macon, 100 miles due East of
Atlanta, and no doubt told upon the
attendance at the latter city measura-
bly,. AS the train sped on we soon
became in proximity to Gen. Sher-
mans March through Georgia. Many
times before Atlanta was reached we
not only crossed and recrossed the line
OF this famous march, but also the
sites of historic battle fields, for around
Atlanta often times war alarms rang
loudest. Long before day break and
at every station crowds of negroes
boarded the train for the Macon Fair.
To judge from the huge bon-fres
along the track many of them to be in
readiness had made a night of it in the
open. Before Macon was reached the
Atlanta passengers were changed to
the cars of the Atlanta and Florida r.
r., and the journey continued. AS be-
fore said, the distance between At
lanta and Macon being 100 miles it is
paralelled by three separate systems
of railroads. On the north bv the

THE TYPES OF CHARACTER.

About two O'Clock the city began to
pour IN great throngs of visitors to wit
ness the afternoon games and make
the detOur of the grounds. This was
exactly what | most desired TO see a
| typical Southern crowd ont for a gala
day, and so taking position in one of
the main aisles OF the great art build
ing, watched for nearly two hours the
enormous crowds pass in review. The
lofty arches of the great building rang
out again the merry peals of laughter
from below. Easily there could be
distinguished the blonde Mississippian
from the dark and swarthy Georgian.
The freckled Floridian from the pale
aesthetic South CarOlinean. Presently
as the crush is relieved in some mex
plicabe way there sweeps along a
splendidly attired Creole lady from per
haps far off Louisiana. The wealth of
jet black hair Overshadowing the deli
cate tracery of fOverarching eye brows
brought in strong contrast the half con.
temptuous curl ola lip set beneath a
face that bore the imprint of Spanish
ancestry it mattered little if derived
from the blood of Castillo or Aragon.
The type and more than this the rep
rese ntative prototype was there.
Along too came mOuntaineers from
East Tennessee. Once l caught the
eXpressiOn-"you un's" from a CAV

Charles Egbert CraddOck, who. bv the

One face in all that moving mass at
tracted my notice and until l had
placed it, cast out all other faces about
at the time. 1t was that of a rugged
mountaineer, this long unkempt hair
fell until it mingled with the course
iron gray mating of the beard below.
From out the shaggy hirsuite cleaned
two eyes with an eagles CLINT, and the
long hooked nose bore out the smile
so well that involuntary looked at his
hands expecting to see talons.

young man evidently from the country

the gin doorway and depositing the
entire load wherever wanted. The de.

on THE WAY HOME.

At the Union depot we had the
chole" Of coming North by two widely
dlyerging routes. One on the Queen
and Crescent X r., via Chatanooga. ST
Louis, Cincinnati and thence east bv
the Chesapeake and Ohio R.R. The
other more direct by the Richmond and
Danville r. R.,straight as a crow flies in
a northeast course to Washington.

We chose the latter route and left
Atlanta at 6 P. NJ. Not much sleep was
obtained as the train rocked in climb
ing the mountains of Georgia and
North Carolina and toward dav break
we neared Danville on the Virginia
border. At Danville we took break
fast and by far the best iourneying Of
the trip lay before US for the entire
day. Successfully We passed the fine
inland farms of the Old Dominion. and
soon in the distance could be seen the

would 60; and that ne was per-
fectly proper parsonage. The change
in day had been made after he had
left the room, and he had marched
down little in advance of time, ex-
pecting us to follow. As we did not
appear, he would not retreat, but
had gone through the day in solitary
grandeur.
Phillis had cat that had in Tip
an admirer of unspeakable devotion.
One friendly glance, one touch of her
velvet paw, was reward enough for
hours Of gazing, Or the choicest of
morsals of his dinner.
A rival interfered. A poor little
kitten, the only one Phillis had
spared. No more attention for Tip b;
not even a turn of the head or a
glance as he passed by; and as day
after day went on with no change,
the dog could bear it no longer.
Suddenly, without warning, he
sprang forward, seized the kitten by
the neck, and dashed like lightning
from the yard, and before the cries
of puss could bring help, Tip had
reached the wharf and dropped his
luckless rival into the water.
We boys, though forced to confess
that snatching an only child from its
mother wasn't the truest spirit of
knighthood, were all ready to pat
Tip in secret for his brilliant stroke.
But father took no such view of the
case. Tip had committed robbery
and murder to make room for his own
selfish interests, and should be horse
whipped. We went away that we
might not witness his disgrace or hear
his cries.
We made secret plans for comfort
ing Tip, but he was not to be found,
and morning failed to discover him.
Had he turned his back on us forever,
was the question we were asking one
another, when a schoolmate called
over the fence,-"Saw your dog at
Cousin Tenbrook's an hour ago!"
CAT Cousin Tenbrook' l guess
not much We took him there last
summer, when we went to the coun-
try and he wouldn't stay day! He
came back and sat on the steps, and
lived on stray crusts till we got
home"
The boy was telling the truth and
we were starting to bring Tip home
when father stopped us. Tip was
feeling his disgrace, and ought to
feel it, and we should let him alone.
In fortnight, with tail erect, and
amid shouts of welcome, Tip stalked
into the yard.
1t was not long before he redeemed
his character, and did it, as we
thought, thousand times over.
We had him out walking with us,
when a runaway horse appeared
dashing at fearful speed, dragging
behind him an elegant sleigh, con-
tanning child.
Some people stood out Of the way
as the sleigh sped down the street,
Others stepped nearer and brandished
their arms and shouted. Tip stood
beside us, his eyes fixed upon the APP
preaching animal. Nearer, nearer
but not a hair of Tips tail stirred

Where was Tip? No one had seen
or heard him since the night before,
and he never left the premises unless
with one of us.
Had some one stolen him?
The question became fear, as the
hours went past, and no Tip. Up

The Silver Bill.

The silver bill passed the House Sat
urday afternoon in the form determined
on by the Republican caucus and by
fair majority. Free coinage was de-
feated by quite large majority, although
several Western Republicans Joined the
Democrats. But enough of the hard
money Democrats Joined the Republi-
cans to Offset this loss, while many more
Democrats kept away. The Republicans
feel much elated at their success In
averting free coinage and attribute it. in
large degree, to the bold course of the
Speaker In making his influence felt In
the party caucus and afterwards in bring
ing up the question under a resolution
from the committee on rules. The first
day, in the voting on the resolution. the
prospect at one time seemed very dubious
but the Republicans held themselves to-
gether sufficiently to save the day On
the first vote Saturday, Flower and 9TH
er Eastern Democrats voted with the
Republicans. All the Maine delegation
were against free coinage and Mr.. Ding
ley made scholarly speech against it.
The prompt action of the House on
this silver bill, is calling attention to the
unusual success of the House on perfect
ing legislation. 1t has passed the great
er part of its appropriation bills, settled
the greater part of its contested election
cases. voted on the copyright bill, passed
the tariff and silver bill, and now has
ahead of 1t only three great public meas.
ures, the "original package" liquor bill,
the bankruptcy bill and the Federal cleo
ton bill, which is regarded as very likely
to come up, 1t is probably 20 years since
the House has been ahead of the Senate
with Its business as it is now. 1t has
always been the Other way the Senate

AT WASHINGTON

The senate committee on post offices and
post roads today reported favoraply the
bill to increase the salary OF the post
master at Augusta, Maine, from $4,000 to
80, 500 year.
The situation at Augusta. the committee
says, is peculiar. While doing nm immense
business comparatively, the mail ship
ments averaging fifty tons day, the re-
ceipts of til post office do not indicate the
fact. Several publishing houses are To-
Gated there which receive in remittanoes
stamps to the amount of more thsn quar-.
ter of million annually SO they are com
PEELED to purchase stamps for but a
small fraction of their shipments.
In view Of this fact the postmaster gen
eral recommended au increase of $500 of the
salary of the postmaster and the Senate
committee endorsed the recommendation.
