 Detroit, Mich, Nov. 12, 1895. To Hon. Patrick Walsh, Augusta, Ga.- Dear Sir: have received communica- tions from several commissioners Of the Worlds Columbian committee asking sthat call a meeting for the 18th Of De- cember at Atlanta to pay our respects to the officials and managers of the Atlanta exposition.
 Independent of the pleasure of our com ing together and renewing our acquain- tance 1t seems to me that some action of this kind should be taken to show our appreciation of the signal success of our southern friends and thus promote what we all have so much at h,art-the unif- cation of our people.

Midway as Lively as Ever.

Six of the attractions of the midway were closed temporarily last night and this morning their proprietors were fined S100 each because of alleged immortality of the ballyhoos or actresses used in front of the shows to draw crowds. The midway has been exceedingly noisy, the spiders vieing with each other in mak- ing the most noise to attract the atten- ton of the crowd. The beauty show, the Parisian novelty show, the colloseum, the trocadero. the gypsy village and "A Night in Egypt" were the places closed up. This morning after payment of the fines all except the gypsy village were allowed to resume business upon promis- ing to discontinue the ballyhoos. By 1 o'clock today the midway was as lively as ever, with the exception that no bally- hoos were seen in front of the palaces. Some of the concessionaires paid their fines under protest

the Time with Cock Fights.
Of course the railways have done
away with much of the difficulties of
travel in snow time. When a train is
showed up now there are no such in

OF the mail coaches. There is DELAY.
but there is generally enough to eat
and drink, plenty of companionship,a and

IN a friend of mine, much my senior,
however, once told me what occurred

the guard rode off with the mailbaps
and the passengers wero left to their

Shap If they could only get there, and
after many hours they contrived to do
so. Fortunately there were no women

have succumbed. They were shut I'D
at that inn for eight days, during which
they had no communication, either
north OF south, with the outside world.

FOUL AIR AS A GERM GARDEN.
Good Sanitation n Primo Necessity as n
Defense Against Disease Germs.

Good Sanitation n Primo Necessity as a
Defense Against Disease Germs.
The development of the germs so ia
tal to humanity when taken into the
system isun effort of nature to destroy
and really eat up effete matter. The
grub and maggot, disgusting as they
are, are true scavcngcrs, and if suffi-
Gent time be allowed them they will
reduce to lnnocuous dust the most pois-
onous of animal and vegetable matter
We regard the creatures with abhor-
renee because of their occupation; but
they are laboring, albeit unconscious
ly, in the interest of higher forms of
life. When disease-generating matter
has passed through the digestive canal
of the pupa it is no longer infectious.
In the undrained and filthy portions of
q city the foul matter is constantly &C.
cumulating far beyond the corrective
powers of unaided nature. Deadly
gases are cast off from fostering heaps,
vapors charged with microscope germs
which hatch fearful ailments in that
weak mechanism, mans body. But
even where the system Is not directly
affected by germ diseases, the influence
OF the foul gases-why, we do not fully
understand as yct-tends to lower vi
tal1ty TO such degree that tho subject
is always in good condition to take a
fever of the typhoid class, scaraltina,
diphthcrin, etc, Prof. Alcssi's expert
ments, says an exchange, show that a
person who has lived In foul air for q
considerable time will get any one of
the fatal germ diseases much more
rGl6lIU
pure air and only absorbs the germs by
accident. Prof. Alessi has proved that
the same is true with animals He
placed number of dogs, pigs, etc, in
such situation that they were com
pellcd to live, for some weeks, in an at
mosphcre saturated with the noxious
vapors from garbage heaps These he
inoculatcd with the typhoid bacillus,
at the same time inoculating a similar
number of animals which had been
brought direct from the pure air of the
rural district. The first lot died, some
of them in thirty-six hours, with un-
mistalSable typhoid symptoms, while
not one of the second lot was affected.
1t was observed, however, that when
the rural animals began to breathe tho
affected air they began at once to show
signs OF weakness and lassitude. They
lost their livclincss and grew CLASSY
eyed, and though they continued TO
eat, they became poor in flesh. There
is a grim significance in these facts
which should teach us lesson that
good sanitation is prime necessity,
not only as defense against direct
assaults of germ disease, but also
against the lowering of the physical
powers which opens the system not
only TO the bacillus but to all the other
foes which ]ic in wait to destroy life.

Plenty Of nig Gama.

For an old settled state Arkansas
has more game than any other. On
the St Francis river, where the cane
brakes are tall and dense, the country
seems alive with deer and bear. They
have peculiar way of hunting in
these brakes. They keep dogs and
horses specially trained for it. The
dogs, perhaps twenty or thirty, are
put in the brake, and the horses are
trained to follow the dogs, and that is
what they will do ut all hazard. AS
soon as the dogs take a trail and begin
to bay the horses strike out pell NELL
through woods, and brake, and swamp,
jumping everything in their course,
and plunging in way that would ter
rify an English fox hunter. The rider
has nothing to do, and that is some
times moro than enough, but to hold his
seat. He must keep close to the dogs,
for when the bear is brought to his
hind legs there is danger of losing three
or four of the valuable animals before
the beast is killed.
