WITH THE RAILROADS.

Mir. Charles Jones, the southern passen- ger agent of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham, with headquarters in this city, returned yesterday afternoon from au extensive trip through Florida and Cuba. MT. Jones has been gone sev. eral weeks and tho trip was on business for the Kansas City, Memphis and Bir- mingham. During his absence he has scattered an immense amount of advertis- ing matter through Florida, the result of which he hopes will prove beneficial by re- ceiving large amount of Florida travel.
 MT. Jones is highly pleased over his trip, and moreover he looks better than usual, for change of climate for the short period has proved great help to him from a hygtenic standpoint.
 HoMEsEEKERs COMING SOUTH.
 Another homeseekers' excursion to the south will be run from northern and east ern points on March 8. The rate is one fare for the round trip, and will have an extreme return limit of thirty days, with a stop over privilege of two weeks at any southern point. These excursions will be run every month from now until Septem- Der, and hundreds of people will take ad- vantage of them.
 OTHER CHANGES.
 Besides MT. J. J. Mulliu being made baggage master and MT. John T. Powers assistant station master at the union depot MT. Sam Ogilvie has been made day ticket gateman, while Joe Rencher is acting in that capacity at night. MT. Ogilvie has been night ticket gateman for the past two years, while his successor has been the Twentieth street gaternan.
 NEW DEPARTURE.
 Station Master c. D. Meglemery has in- augurated another scheme by which people who have no business inside of the depot enclosure will be kept out to certain ex- tent. It is the custom at all of the union passenger stations over the country to have all tickets punched at the entrance to the shed. Now this is exactly what Mr. Me- glemery has done. The ticket gateman time each ticket and trip pass presented at the gate.
 When this ticket or trip pass has been punched once 1t is not good at the gate a seUond time unless under known condi- tions. This kills the game that many peo- Say a man buys ticket to Irondale and pays 15 cents. He goes in the Igate, walks down inside the railing and hands 1t to a friend on the outside, who also presents it and gains admission. Under the new de- parture this is avoided and keeps out all people who have no business inside the en- closure.
 AGAIN POSTPONED.
 It may be well for creditors who hold claims against the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery railway to1note that the sale of that road, which was to have taken place Thursday, has been postponed until May IT. The postponement is the result of petition to Judge Fish of Americus in order to give the bondholders time to per- feet arrangements so as to obtain more satisfactory bid than would have been re- ceived

IRON shavings make good fertilizer for fruit trees. The shavings should be scat tered around the roots. They thus sink in the ground and the phosphorus in the iron is absorbed by the roots and passes up into the sap, giving tue tree strength and vigor. The trees ou Red Mounts near the veins of ore are larger and more vigorous than those in the gravely soil of the other side of the mountain.

of Wales to New York, about 1869, a re- caption committee of 400 was appointed. Edmund Clarence Stedman wrote sati,e in verse on the Prince of Wales and gave it the title, "Council of the 400.'' The following lines are taken from the sketch: For the honor and commerce of inc city, Twas plain to see there must be d committeet So men of means and might were chosen,
 Score by score and dozen by dozen,

 With General Scott to lead them. So great their fortunes and their flames, That when the aldermen came to read them. They blessed their luminaries stellar, And hid, abashed, in the city hall cellar.

THE Atlanta Constitution calls attention to tho fact that Susan B. Anthony and other female suffragists were among the chief mourners at the obsequies of Fred Douglass in Washington, Miss Anthony delivering funeral oration, and that fe- male suffraglsts do not seem to think the miscegenation principles of Fred Douglass delracted from his fame. The female sui fragists cry out for "liberty," and that was the constant refrain Of Douglass. This must be the bond of union. Ingersoll also prates about ''liberty.'
