UNCLE SANS WARSHIPS.
Fitting One of Them For Cruise Costs
Small Fortune.

Small Fortune.
Furniture and supplies for Uncle
Sans new war vessels cost a mint of
money. To fit out one of these ships for
cruise is a bigger job than equipping a
first class hotel. Here ID a floating for
tress as long as two city blocks, with all
modern conveniences and complete res
taurant facilities, lighted throughout BY
electricity-a gigantic fighting machine
and military barracks combined. Her
steel walls. bristling with guns, shelter
a small army Of men. The New York,
for example, has a crew numbering 455,
besides 40 marines and A officers. To
feed them all for a twelvemonth at the
governments rate of allowance costs
100000.
On going into commission such ship
must be furnished throughout, from the
kitchen, which is as complete as that Of
a great city hosiery, to the captains
cabin. She carries large stocks Of sta
tionery, hardware and apothecaries'
goods. and is provided with tools for all
sorts Of trades. Everything conceivable
that may be needed for purposes of war
and peace is supplied, because on the
high seas no shops or factories are ac-
cessble. Usually the vessel is pro-
visioned for only three months, because
there is no room to stow more. The ra-
lions are purchased by the navy depart
ment and comprise such necessities as
hard bread, cornmeal, oatmeal, hominy,
-four, salt pork, beans, peas, rice, pre-
served meats, butter, coffee and tea.
Every man in the navy, from the last
boy shipped up to the admiral, has an
allowance of 30 cents day for rations,
which he may draw either in food or in
money. The paymaster of the ship has
charge Of all the provisions, which are
dealt out by his ''yeoman," who is in
turn assisted by the jack-o'dust. The
person last named attends to opening the
barrels and packages. Coffee and sugar
are served out once in 10 days, -four ey-
cry four days and meats daily. While
in port fresh provisions are furnished,
each man receiving one pound of fresh
bread, II pounds Of fresh meat and one
pound Of fresh vegetables per diem.
These take the place Of the ordinary ra-
tons, only tea and coffee being provided
in addition. The allowance is at all
times so liberal that the enlisted men
cannot possibly consume the whole of it,
so they take part of it in cash.-Phila-
delphia Times.

" hY Hoods win.

President Lincoln said, "You' cannot
fool the people second time" They
are too quick to recognize real merit or
lack of it, and cling only to those thipgs
which they find to be what is claimed
for them.
It is especially gratifying that the sale
of Hoods Sarsaparilla increases most
rapidly in those sections where it is best
known.
The inference is plain. Hoods Sar-
saparilla has proven that it possesses
genuine merit. 1t maintains high
standard, which others cannot even APP
proach. 1t is the peoples favorite

TWILIGHT.

A clear. pale sky-serene and autumn cold.
Thin floats the buoyant crescent silver keen
Through luminous far drawn spaces family
green,
Save for one long, low, lingering streak OF gold:
Blue nists the hushed and supine land enfold
And dim the winding little rivers sheen,
Where, darkly clustered, shadowy willows
lean,
And chill and heavy lie on plain and void.
Now as the daylight's eager voices fade,
And life is narrowed to a shrinking span,
A twilight breath Of calm and peace and shade
Now on the hot and restless heart OF man,
From individual hopes and fears set free,
A quiet touch from out the unknown is laid
The thought of comprising eternity!

COMING SOUTHWARK.

"There are thousands who would go
to the south to live if somebody would
start the ball"
Thus writes New England farmer.
There is a world of interest in the
paragraph, says an exchange. 1t is food
for dreams to every railroad man in the
south, and the way the passenger de-
partments of southern lines are going
about encouraging immigration to this
region, of countryis more than gratifying.
The work of bringing people from the
west and from the states directly north
of Georgia into this state has been more
considerable this season than for several
years past. Many who had gone from
Georgia to Texas returned this winter
ana will live in this state again, taking
up farms, or entering the trades.
The emigrant traffic in Texas
and the west was no less cocsid-
cradle, and thus it is seen that
while many came back to live in Geor-
gia, the drifting of population was about
even one way and the other. This, at
least, seems to be the general opinion of
the passenger agents of the railroads.

mr. The PEOPLE ARE ron GEN. EVANS.

1t is gratifying to the friends of Cen
eral Clement A. Evans to note with what
unanimity he is being supported for gov
ernor by all classes of people of the
state.
There are several reasons for this, a
few OF which are:
First, he is a consecrated Christian
gentleman, and cannot but make bet
ter governor because of this fact.
Second, he is well known for his exec
utive ability, and, taken in connection
with his CONSCIENTIOUS love for duty, the
people know that he not only knows
what is right, but that he possesses the
moral courage to do the right thing,
though tine heavens fall.
Third, he has shown himself in thor
ough sympathy with the people on all
the questions which affect their interest,
and when General Evans takes posi-
ton the people of Gergia know that he
will maintain it in defeat as well as in
victory. His past record III darker days
than these is indisputabie proof of this
fact.
Fourth, his courage aud his loyalty
as exemplifed in the times and places
that "tried mems souls" have not been
forgotten by those who shared with him
the hardships and privation and wounds
of camp and march and undiscovered
battlefield, and the old soldiers and their
loyal sons delight to honor man who is
bound to them with the unbreakable ties
of fellow-feeli lg.
These are a few reasons why General
Evans is so popular, and are reasons why
the people will :honor themselves End
the state by calling him to the executive
chair, as they will certainly do.
And when he occupies the governors
chair every Georgian can point with
pride to her brave, true, loyal, Christian,
statemanlike chief executive.

The fight made by Senator Hill against
the presidents nominations to the SUI
preme court is not creditabe one, and
other democratic senators gain nothing,
either in party influence or reputation,
by aiding him. HIPS fight is an effort
to embarrass his su 3cessful opponent for
the presidency and abridge his powers.

The Old "Ever Ready"

Sad dispensations come almost daily to remind us that our time at most is short and that the grave is the resting place of all. These sad thoughts were suggested on learning of the demise ot the ''Old Ever Ready Brass BanG !" After buffeting with ''Life's titful fever" for three years, ever ready to beck and call of state or church. without price or pay. last Friday night the gal lant little band. to the tune of Nellie Gray" succumbed to the inevitable, and passed to the unfathonable here after, and perhaps even now dear lit- tie angels are skipping around to the dream-like music of clarionet. trombone and lesser lights. The "reminiscences of the past will be made bright by the recollection of the Ever Ready" and this consolation is left us:
 Nor wreck, nor change. nor winters flight
 Nor death $ remorseless doom.
 Shall dim one ray of ei.ulgeuf light
 That gilds their glorious tomb."

DEMOCRATS are very busy these
days explaining how it was done.
Even the Front street organ had an
attack of two column "colicy" wall
last night, and it's deductions conclude
that there is not one thing in the
action of the Democrats, who through
fear and ignorance, voted for and
helped to re-elect Gov. Nelson" 1t
certainly must be matter of pleas
ant reflection for the Democrats to
read in their party organ that they
are pack of ignoramuses, simply be-
cause they exercised a bit of intelli-
gence in casting their ballot, or that
they are towards because they saw fit
to exercise the right of franchise ac-
cording to their own sweet will. The
influence welded by the Revieoo office
holder is best demonstrated by the
election returns in this city and
county.

OUR neighbor of the ReUieao is so
appalled, at the Democratic defeat
throughout the country that it i'm
AGNES the Republicans must be star
tied at their great victory. But the
Republicans expected big landslide
and got it, and though the majorities
are somewhat larger than they figur-
ed on, the general results are about
the same. But, says the Reoie,o: "The
more thoughtful members of the
party can well see the possibility of
future disasters in this victory" Now
don't worry neighbor! The Republi-
cans are used to handling big ma
jorities and have no trouble with
them. But to inexperienced Demo-
cracy, it would indeed be startling
thing. The experience of the past
eighteen months has fully demon
strated that. About the only disas-
ter there is in these large majorities is
to Democracy. That is doubtless
what worries our friend.
