Confederate Homes.

The Confederate Home in Atlanta,
GA, institution which the lament
ed Henry w. Grady did so much to
secure by his active interest in the
plans which were formed for its es-
Establishment, hasjust been completed
and will soon be thrown open, with
ceremonies in keeping with the almost
sacred purpose to which it will here
after be devoted. When the celebra-
ton takes place the southern people
will enter mostheartily into the spirit
ofthe happy occasion, and will warm
ly congratulate thepeople ofGeorgia
upon having erected such noble and
substantial institution to ease the
declining years of so many decrepit
veterans who exposed their lives IN
the war for the cause oftheir country
The example which Georgia has sci

Australian Rabbit skins.

In the last ten years 100000
rabbit skins have been exported from
Victoria. In addition to theexports
from the colonies many have been
used locally by hat manufacturers
and others, and large numbers have
doubtless been destroyed or allowed
to Decay. The supply from Austria
liza has flooded the English market
and trade has on hand n supply suf-
ficient to last a year or two. The
English rabbit breeders also found it
to their advantage to kill rabbits
mainly for their skins, and the sup
ply of home skins is said to reach
10000, 900 annually. Belgium,
which supplies us with the tame bred
rabbits so largely appreciated and
imported for food, sends away over
6,000, 900, rabbit skins, but then
these skins are much larger, ola finer
color and better fitted for furs than
those of the wild rabbit.-LondoT

him to take some steps by which the party

the case as long as General Mahoue contiE-

HEADLoNe INTO VEsUvIUs' CRATER
& cable despatch from Rome mentions the
tragic end Of Brazilian traveller whose
curiosity led min az Wednesday to look
into the crater of Vesuvius. stlpetied by
a sudden outburst of sulphurous vapor ne
staggered forward and fell headlong into
the yawniDg ahasm.
During the great eruption of Vesuvius in
the year 10 A. D. Pliny the Elder, eager to
crafty his scientific curiosity, approached
near the shower of falling cinders and
persisted. When the grandest of modern
erupt:ons occurred, in April, 1872, band
of Neapolitan students ventnred too near
the sams volcanic vent and were unable to
mako their escape, suffering horrible
de4.h. Seventy years ago the Vesuvian
crater was q mile in diameter and shon
sand feet deep. Though its size and shap"
have bsen considerably modified in recent
yeas, imagination is powerless to picture
the horrors of such fiery gulf.
The only time for studying the mechan.
ism of volcano is When it is not in full
blast, and its action ia comparatively
moderate and harmless. Visitors to pesu"
vius should be warned by the terrible fate
Of its victims.-New York Herald.

Runaway Match,

On the 31st ultimo Mr.. J. Arthur Bru-
beck of the G. and o. railway, and resi-
dent of Clifton Forge, went to Iron Gate
to call upon MISS Lucy Henderson, whom
he bad been waiting upon for some time,
but in opposition to the yiahes of the par
ents of the lady, in order to arrange for an
elopement. The presence of the young
man on this occasion developed a hostility
so pronounced that he decided not to re-
turn without his affianoed. Through the
assistance of his and the friends of the
young lady the resolute couple made their
way und5tected to the residence of Mrs.
Whitesell of Clifton Forge, and on the
morning of June 1st, by skiilful manage.
ment the groom and bride-elect reached
Covington without the knowledge of the
angry parents. A license was obtained,
the services of Rev. S. F. Chapman called,
and in the parlore of the Baker House the
marriage knot was tied in due and ancient
form. 1t is only necessary to add that up
on their return to Clifton sump:uous re-
past was served by Mrs. Whitesell, and
that the couple are now hsppy in the en-
joymsnt of welded life With nc ons to

ga Much. Needed Reform" Endorsed by an
Intelligent Farmer.
For the SPECTATOR.

Mr., Editor Please permit, in your ex-
Gallant paper, a second to "a Much
Needed Reform" presented by Mr.. j. X.
Kemper in behalf Of the Fishersville Club.
Mr.. K. has made ten-strike for popularity
with the country ladies, which every
bachelor will envy. Threshing and bal
ing the crops are viewed with more concern
and anxiety than any other work on the
farm because of the uncertainty and per-
plexity which the present customs involve.
In other States. long since, and in portions
of this State, different modes prevail. In
some, threshing is speciality, for which
eyerv preparation is made. An expert
epced and well-organized force will thresh
in a very short time an ordinary crop and
nut it into the granary for a certain price
ner brshel and pass on from farm to farm
with rapidity. In some cases boarding
themselves, and in others they arc boarded
| by the farmer. The vexations and delays
are usually produced by bad management
of the machinery, by an unskiled, I'M
organized and incompetent force. The
mode suggested by Mr.. K. will relieve
against all this, and secure profit to the
thresherman and satisfaction to the farmer.
Indeed the complex and delicate machinery
now used is designed for experts and moi
for new crew, in part, from day to day,
who endanger it by ignorance and awk'
wardness and carelessness.
In the matter of hay baling, where there
is more time required at each place and
fewer hands employed, it will be more
convenient for the crew, with suitable
outfit. to board and lodge themselves. II
is entirely practicable and should be done
Onlv those who have had experience IN
boarding in their private houses mixed
screws" of various races of people, with
manners and training as varient, can form
an idea of the uppleasantness to the good
house wife, who has been accustomed te
decorum and order at her house. A
"boarding-tent' would relieve against al
this, and would be more satisfactory e
all. Let the reform be made and suitable
compensation be paid for the change and
many will be
| PLEASED.

A Lady Tells of Almost a Mirac-
ulous Recoyery---Read.

Ie the Editor Of The Journal;
wish to tell the people of Atlanta something
through your columns. 1 have a sister who
lives in Blrming ham, Ala, who has been afl ct
ed with what many physicians termed "in.
ternal tumor." One physician said 1t was zen.
largement of the liver" She came to Atlanta
for treatment by a specialist after failing to be
benefited in Birmingham. A two months
treatment gaze her only temporary relief. She
returnsd again to the same tr eatment last year,
aud grew worse until she became bei-ridden,
When she had despaired of ever finding relief
she at my suggestion began the use of Kings
Royal Germetuer. She began to improve at
once. In one work she was sleeping soundly,
when she had not had nights undisturbed
rest In two years. She began to go about at
once and continue to steadily i'm prove. In six
weeks she was so far relieved as to be able to
return home, feeling well, with no swelling or
evidence of tumor or enlarged liver. I had a
letter from her the day before yesterday and
she is evidently well.
My confidence in Germetuer was caused by
its curing noe of Catarrh. My sister, Mrs. W.
A: Dobey. of birmingham Ala. will verify the
above statement, and my neighbors here in
Atlanta will certify to as much as came under
their observation. cheerfully give my testi-
mony, hoping that the afflicted ones may be
induced to try remedy which has proven a
signal blessing to myself and my sister

that Harvard college hes conferred upon
Hon. John Randolph Tucker of this State,
the honorary degree of LII. D. says:
f'Harvard's honorary degree could hardly
have fallen upon one more worthy than is
John Randolph Tucker. Mr.. Tucker was
one of the scholarly and thoughtful men of
Virginia in the days following the war.
He was among the earliest members of
congress to give his attention to the tariff
question, and he discussed it several years
ago with thoroughness of argument that
has not since been surpassed in any quar-
ter. John Randolph Thicker and Abram
s. Hewitt were in their day the two men of
their party in the popular branch of con-
gress who best of all treated public ques-
lions from political science standpoint

In tbeState of Washington striking white
miners are shooting down the negroes who

ferred to don't aspire to the control of the
communities in which they are employed,
but only ask to be allowed to earn their
bread by the sweat of their faces. That re-
Quest is denied in the northern State refer
red to, and they are murdered for making
it, and the administration takes no notice
of the matter. In the South, however, the
same administration demands that negroes
shall control every one of the white COM
munities in which they have majority,
and if one of them be whipped for attempt
ing to enforce compliance with that demand,
it makes great ado. But the party which
supports the administration is color-blind
