The Situation in Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca, July 4.-As a re-
suit OF the railroad tie-up in the
West the shipment of fruits and
melons have congcstcd in Atlanta
TO such an extent that they are
beng sold here cheaper than ever
known. Hundreds of car loads Of
watermclons destined for Chi
cago, ST. Louis and other Western
points, have been sidc-trackcd and
'he railroads arc almost giving
'hem away. In many instances
'hey are selling them at less than
the actual cost of bringing them as
lar as Atlanta The fruit stands
are literally overlooking with pine
apples and bananas stopped here
on their way West. Bananas are
being libcrally disposed Of at
twenty-five cents bunch and
pine apples are going at from three
to five conts piece. Prices are
getting cheaper every day, and if
tle-up continues the congestion of
fruit shipments here will be SO
great as to make it necessary to
give it away or have it rot without
being disposed OF.
Considerable anxiety is mani
Tested among the meat mon ON nc-
count of the shortage of their
Western meat shipments. The
local markets are already making
preparations to kill domestic cat
tie for Use instead of Western beef,
the sale of which has grown TO
such an extent in the South during
tho past few years as to practically
stop the killing Of Southern cattle
for market purposes. The gro
Gers and produce men are making
unusually heavy orders ON the
country for chickens, and even if
the strike continues indefinitely
tho people of Atlanta will manage
to get along fairly we'll on cheap
fruit and abundant chicken mar
krt with such meat as comes from
the killing of homo cattle. The
home market industry is greatly
revived, and if the embargo con-
f tinurs thcproplr will manage To-
get along az they did before they
I bought Western beef.

Possibilities Of Surgery.

The extent to which the human body
can be mutilated without causing death
is beyond what most people think. OF
course the removal Of the largest limb
is q familiar fact, but the successive re-
moval Of all tho limbs would in most
cases result in nothing worse than in-
convenience. In the same way the in.
ternal organs may be extirpated. This
is facilitated by their quality. Ono kid
ney may be removed, and the other will
mako up for the loss by doing double
work. One eye may be taken out and
tho sight remain practically unimpair-
ed. Largo portions Of the brain may be
removed with no injury to life or intel

Final Action on tho Tariff Bill

CHANGES OF IMPORTANCE MADE
IN THE MEASURE BEFORE BEING
PLACED ON It's FINAL PASSAGE.
Washington, July 3.-The Sem
ate met at 10 a. III. in continue
ton of yesterdays Legislative ses-
sion by virture of the recess taken
last night; that obviated all de-
lays incident to the formalities of
a regulation opening of new day.
The tariff bill was taken up at
once and action on the amend
ments of the committee of the
whole occupied the whole Of to-
days session. First came the
motion made by Mills; Monday
evening to place burlaps and grain
bags made thercfrom on the free
list. 1t was carried by vote of
2S Z. Next came the famous COL
lars and cuffs amendment, the du-
ty on those articles at 30 cents
per dozen and 30 per cent. ad va
lorem, and on shirts at 50 per
cent, equivalent according to q
statement made by Chandler to an
ad valorem rate Of from 80 to 1s5
per cent. The amendment was
agreed to after couple of satiri-
cal speeches directed against the
junior Senate from New York
Murphy, by vote of 13 to S.
Then the great wool schedule
came up for action, Sherman Of
fering an amendment to place
wool on the dutiable list at 80 per
cent. ad valorem.
The longest discussion Of the
day took place on this proposition
appears being made by the Repub-
llcan Senators to the Democratic
Senators from the wool-producing
States to supply even two votes
for the amendments which would
be enough with the Populists votes
to carry it. But these appeals
fell on deaf ears. There was not
a single descrtion from the Domo-
cratic ranks on the question of
wool. The two Populist Senators
who usually act with the Demo-
Gratis, and Allen and Lyle, did not
vote, and the amendment was de-
feated-years 32, nays 81, and
wool remains on the free list.

WOusing tho Shoppers.

On ono Sunday, it was so warm
W t h in and without II Scotch
church that many Of the congrcga-
ton were sound asleep. The Min
lister, Mr.. Robert Shirra, paused
in his sermon to cxclaim:
"Hold up your heads my friends,
and mind that neither saints nor
sinners are sleeping in the world. u
All tho slcepers were aroused but
one man,
"John Stewart" called out tho
minister, "this is the second time
that I've stopped to waken you
but give you fair warming, tha,
if neod stop a third time, I'll ex
pose you by name to the congrcga
ton.
Another clorgeman was accus
toned to use scientific. terms which
the people did not understand. A
deputation waited on him with the
request that in the future, when.
ever he used such terms he would
explain them.
On the following Sunday he used
the term hyperbole, and added
as agreed on, I beg to explain this
word. Where I to say that at this
moment the whole Of my congrc
CATION are sound asleep, it would
be hyperbole; but if I say that
one-half are asleep, that is no hy'
perbole but tho truth.
The next day the deputat;ol
again called, to say that the min
lister need not explain techanica
terms. The People would learl
their meaning from a dictionary.

The Old Grist Mill,

BY MRS. C. LADD.
1 am standing again by the Old Grist Mill,
The dam Is broken, the wheels Is still,
The sun streams in, far DER the floor,
Through the shattered window and bro
ken door.
The Killers house just over tho way,
Has fallen in-all in decay;
The spring is chokod with trash and leaves
The mill road blocked by fallen trees.
Two noble willows stood by tho race,
Though much decayed, arc still IN place,
The weeping branches, now touch tho
ground,
Seeming to mourn for the loss around.
No birds are seen on bush or spray,
The mock birds song at break of day,
That echoed around from hill to hill,
Is heard no moro at tho Old Grist Mill.
No.lOnger loads stood at the door,
No bags Of corn lay OIL the floor,
Where busy life, 80 long had boon,
Novoices heard, no foot print secn.
Our school house stood not far away,
The mill road was our scene Of play,
No longer comes the glad wild shout
To the mill boys, "our school is out"
If the grist was slack Oh Saturday,
The miller joined us in our play,
Or sat in doors, wild tales to tell.
Tales we school boys loved 80 we'll.
Tears have come, and years have gone,
Since l stood here on bright morn,
With sad heart, and smothcred sigh,
I've come to bid old friends goodbye.
My mothers kiss was on my brow,
| Her low sweet VOICE. hear it now,
Why for love, my boy why sever
The tics Of home--perhaps forever.
MY stately home, still can see,
Oh! what is home or land to mo
l came not back to claim tho place,
am the last ofall my race.
Ny mothers voice still l hear
Her blessing ever, ever dear,
Then, with the kiss left on my brow,
Are all the wealth covct now.
The winds were hushcd-not q single sound
Silence, but beauty rcigned around:
Lovely rs some enchanted dell,
Wrought by the fairies mystic spell
One more look at the Old Grist Mill
AT the broken dam, and the wheel 30 still
One more leok ut the sunlit floor,
Before 1 turn to leave the door,,
a tcar-drop fell OH the broken sill,
Memory's gift to the Old Grist Mill,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Posts Regular Correspondents
WAsHlssToS, july 80, 1894.

Editor Post:
The key to the tariff deadlock has
not yet been found. but there 10 little
doubt that it will be during the pres
emit week. if not by the conference
committee, then by the Democrats of
the House, who have about decided
to hold caucus to settle the matter,
if the conference committee fails to
reach an agreement by Tuesday. few
people in Washington now have any
doubt that the result will be the Sen
ate bill substantially as 1t stands,
Iaithongh there will doubtless be nu-
merous unimportaat changes so that
members of the House can say both
sides made conscessions to reach an
agreement. The Democratic con-
ferees have been holding almost con-
stinuous informal sessions since the
Senate, by tie vote, declared to IN
struct les conferecs to reeeds from the
pound upon refined sugar, but the
FIRST formsl meeting Of the conference
committee was not held until to-day.
There is reason TO believe that the
Democrats ofsthe House would have
been able to secure mucll mora sub
stantial CONCESSIONS if President
Cleveland had not wrtetaR that letter
to Chairman Wilson, OF, at least, if
MIR. Wilson had net made it public.
There are few Democratic Senators
who have not been nursing some dis
appointment ut .he hands OF Presi-
dent Cleveland; consequently when.
he made it q point in that letter that
the bill should put coal and iron ore
ON the free list many of the Dome
csatie Saaatora who personally favor
free iron and coal, and would under.

Choosing on.'s Vocation.

Many people seem to 10 laboring con-
tinuslly under the necessity Of making
life disagreeable for somebody else.
Among these uncomfortable persons TO
know, those who arc constantly giving
unasked-for advice occupy prominent
place. They are met OIL ell aides; they
talk on all matters with beautiful indif-
ference ~ + whether they know what
they are talking about or rot. IT j. sss
natural for them to say, II wouldn't do
that If we're you: should do thus and
so,' as 1t is for them to breathe. They
make you feel uncomfortable, too, in
spite Of yourself, and although you know
their advice is not worth the time it took
to give it, you rather wish they had re-
Trained.
1t seems to- me that young men who
have just entered upon the study of pro-
LESSONS are prosecuted in this respect
more than others. :. You will hear an ac-
quaintarce, going mp to some yeung fol-
low, asyi @TAsy tell ma you are studying
medicine What ara yqn doing that tor!
Don't you know that We have n0re dog:
tors now than ne know what to do Hith?"
The poor fellow probably says that he haa
heard it intimated that such was tho cass,
but he has come to the conclusion that it
will lie COED thing for him to stady
medicine.
Possibly it 10 young Law student who
10 thus addressed. He 10 told with all the
cheerfulness in the world that there are
Thousands of lawyers simply starving to-
day; hs ought to hs etudying medicine,
civil engineering. etc. etc. -
After many repstIt!ons, and it ie rsiter-
ated many times, it would seem flat this
should become monotoneus. OF course,
the young men themselves go ahead aud
think little about il. Yet the whole stu
alton is false, and the treatment unfair.
1t isa pjsce OF impertinence fer any
one, oven an intimate friend, to mako re-
marks ofthis kind. Young mon at the
outset Of their careers may be bumptious,
hut are not to be considered fools. They
probably did not make their choice by
tossing a coin and calling heads or tails.
but arrived at it after much serious
thought, With the eagerly sought advice of
those competent to judge, those who ere
interested in them particularly, weighing
one thing against another, and finally de-
