TRAGEDY OF THE Sc WEIR.
Macon Politicians PeIted With a Bit
of Choice Rhetoric.

r. w Patterson in Macon Evening News.
Beneath a sultry summer sun swelter-
ing city stood without sewer. The sick
ening smell of surface drainage lay,like a
putrid burden on the stagnant air, and
through the open cracks of every hovel
and the closed windows of every home
the ceaseless stencil stole in.
Accused like Egypt with the plague of
flies, all appetite to nausea turned.
The cheeks of children grew wan and
white, till ON their pallor Fever lit the
lurid beacons which guided death to its
helpless prey.
Dark Typhus was the tyrant of the
hour, and where his sable scepter touched
the hapless victim mOaned and writhed
and died. And like the despot's crafty
thug, Diphtheria waited in the night to
clutch each tender throat and slowly
choke a life away.
And then to many home 1.-THE Little
White Coffin" came. But there were
those whose hearts were fixed on place
and power, who never could see aught in
a measure save how it might make or mar
a man, and these did jeer, and, pointing
to the collins, laugh till the echoes of their
mirth seem strangely mingled with the
sobs of mothers sorrowing for their dead.
Give to the mother a new-made grave as
the cradle of her child, take from the
fathers hard-earned store a tax to keep a
swampy park in order, but yield him not
a SINGLE cent to save his only son from
death. This was their cry, for well they
knew that on the sufferings of the many
the greatness of the one has oft in human
history been based
Do ambitious politicians dream that,
while death is knocking at the door, men
will wait to spend their money to save
their lives until a self-appointed few shall
stumble into power. Perchance 'twere
better that they should never mount the
throne than that its royal steps should be
fashioned from our children's bones. Nay
nay, sweet princes of the near to be, your
future subjects crave your pardon if they
beg to set their house in order for a royal
welcome to your highnesses. Prithee, let
US keep fever from the door. and let our
little children live that when into your
kingdom you shall enter, Sweet sovereign
of the soon to be, the flowers which are
to strew your conquering paths may not
be fflched from the Little white collins"
of our dead

WORTH COUNTY MELONS.
Shipments From Sumner Already
Well Under Way.

Sumner, Ca, June 1S.-The melon ship
ping season has opened in earnest at this
place. Williams & Bridges, our first
melon" men, shipped last week four cars
of choice melons from thirty acres and
will ship half a dozen more this week
Melons are bringing good prices and
growers are correspondingly happy,
though they are satisfied now that the
crop will be short here as well as at all
other points ON the Brunswick and West
ern, Savannah, Florida and Western and
Georgia Southern and Florida railways.
1t is generally conceded by melon men
that the finest melons grown in Georgia
are grown in Worth and contiguous coun-
ties.
Crops generally were never better in
this section and with propitious seasons
from now until harvest time our farmers
will be bountifully rewarded for their
year of toll.

dent Jefferson Davis. The recent death
of Gen. Smith and the refinement of
President Davis remains at Richmond
recall this spicy correspondence.
During October, 1854, Lieut.. Gen. Dick
Taylor telegraphed Gen. Bragg that
Lieut.. Gen. r. Kirby Smith, in command
Of the s-Mississippi department, had
issued an order pardoning all the men
who deserted from his army when ordered
across the river, this after Taylor had
captured most of the deSerterS.
President Davis requested the Secre-
tary of war to require Gen. Smith to ex-
plain his conduct, as, if properly set forth,
il was a premium TO desertion, for the
purpose of evading an order to cross the
river in pursuit Of the enemy.
Gen Smith replied that he had been
misreprcsented, no such order Having
been issued by him Deserted had been
arrested, tried and shot when convicted
In acting on any communication per-
sonal to myself from Gen. TAYLOR wrote
Gen. Smith, Il beg the president to re-
member that Gen. Taylor's systematic
misrepresentation of my motives and acts
exhibit a violence and prejudice restrained
neither by respect for himself nor his su-
periOrs.'
In view of the fact that President
Davis first wife was sister of Gen.
Taylor, it required more nerve on the part
of Gen. Smith to write in this bold man
ner than to face the deadly cannon of the
enemy That he was justified in this
case seems evident from the calm, digni-
fed and friendly reply Of President Davis,
who wrote as follows:
your various promotions and assign
ments to high and responsible duties fur
nish the best evidence of my confidence in
your zeal and ability = no more
doubt now than heretofore your earnest
desire to promote the comm on welfare
and to sacrifice every personal considera-

Perhaps the reader has days when

straight ahead. Never mind whether

not; we all know well that they

an hour after conscience tugged to
pull you up, you arise to find that
the household fires have taken that
zero morning to turn black in the

do or engagements to meet upon a
certain day, and when you wake to
find yourself in the grip of an all day

Queen Victoria is, it is said, especially
skilled in making omelets, while the
Princess of Wales excels in making tea
and buttered toast.
Mrs. Ormiston Chant, the well-known
preacher, says she has officiated in
churches of all denominations except
the Church OF England and the Roman
Catholic Church.
Miss Roalte Cox of the English Folk
Lore Society has made the interesting
discovery that the story of Cinderella
has been told in 945 different ways, and
that it appears in the oldest literature
of Egypt and India.
Senator Stewart is visiting Mexico to
look after the working of his silver mine
at Zacatacas. Before returning to Wash
ington in the late autumn his family will
make an extended Western trip, includ-
ing stay at the Worlds Fair.
Queen Christina of Spain believes that
children could be much better and easier

the word correct were substituted, the

When Queen Victoria left Florence
she reioiced the heart of at least one

Paris is the head center of the skel-
eton trade The mode of preparation
is a very delicate operation. The
scalpel is first called into requisition
to remove the muscular tissues Its
work being done, the bones are boiled,
being carefully watched meanwhile
that they may not be overdone Aft
er this cannibalistic procedure they
are bleached in the sun. Even the
spots Of grease are sure to appear
when they are exposed to heat. The
French treat these with ether and
benzine, securing thereby dazzling
whiteness, which is distinguishing
mark of their skeletons. They are
warranted never to turn yellow and
to stand the test of any climate. New
York in midsummer is not too hot
for them. They are put together by
a master hand.

While Treasurer Morgan is non-com-
initial on the report that defalcation
exists in the mint at New Orleans, it is
learned the Treasury Department dis
covered shortage in the funds in the

the robbery.
The charges of perjury made against
the Japanese interpreter employed at
