TOPICAL TALKS.

Housekeeper-The term light house. keeping" sounds pleasantly to the ear, and suggests all the lightest, choicest and most delicious dainties of the mar ket. But when put into practice it means a cup of cold coffee for breakfast, a sandwich for dinner and what's left over for supper. It is noticed that those who indulge in light housekeeping tarry long al the table, and it might be supposed that they are enjoying their fare. But they sit at the table so long because there is but little nutriment in their food and it. takes some time to get enough of it to sustain life. The COW eats all day because grass has but little nu- triment and it is only by close atten- tion to business that she can get enough to stay her stomach. Dame Nature, who is kind to females, has provided the COW with a cud, so that after eating grass all day she can chew all night. Nature is not so kind to those who engage in light housekeeping. It is only by ire quent visits to the restaurants that light housekeepers manage to subsist, or eX- ist Better the heavy, Soggy food Of the boarding house than the light and airy nothings of light housekeepers. The first a least fills the stomach and stays the cravings of hunger, on the same prln- ciple that the dirt eaters fill up on clay. Light housekeeping is a lighthouse to warn mariners on the ocean of life against the rOckS or SldfNdliOll'
 MT J. L.-When Lord Rosebery visited this country he was given dining by General Jackson of Savannah. He had been to Washington and was asked what he thought of the American con gress. He replied that he thought the senate the finest legislative body in the world. That was before the silver sena- tors of the northwest had bought their seats. Lord Rosebery went on to say that the house of lords should be abol- ished-at least so far as it's hereditary feature was concerned. He believed that the queen should be empowered to ap- point members of the house of lords, and that they should be men who stood at the head of their respective callings. The membership should be divided among different professions. arts and sciences, thus making a body of experts. If Lord Rosebery had not lost his health he would doubtless have made the effort to put in force his plan While in Savan- nah he said that he had two ambitions in life: To become prime minister and to win the derby (pronounced darby). He afterwards achieved both. Ills contem- plates another visit to America at an ear ly day. He is now a wealthy widower and not more than 30 years of age, and American girls should be on the look out

NOW, WHO WENT OUT OF THE wAYq

NV w, "dO w ENI OOI Of Ihh w A | :?
 The Labor Advocate of this city is aggreved because the Age-Herald ven tured to differ with MT. Debs in his as sertion that man kind to dumb animals was necessarily considerate of his fel- lows.
 The Age-Herald was careful to state at the time that it's criticism was in the abstract, and had no reference whatever to MT. Kier Hardie, the gentleman whose tenderness to a cricket or a grasshopper inspired MT. Debs' remark And yet the Labor Advocate says the Age-Herald went out of the way to fling at MT. Har- die. If the Age-Her thought it worth while to criticise MT. Hardie, there would be no occasion to "go out of the way. His attempted justification of the an- archists executed at Chicago has brought reproof upon him, not only from the min isters before whom he made his remark able statement, but from the press gem erally. He has been excluded from the labor congress in England because of his dangerous teachings, and we take it that that body is fair judge of a genuine Workingman.
 But let that pass. The Age-Herald IS surprised that the Labor Advocate should misconstrue it's motives. If this paper IS not a friend of organized labor 1t lacks ability to make itself understood. Its editorials and local columns have always shown kindly regard and appreciation of the workingman, and will continue to do so. The Advocates liver is probably out of order.

Chattanooga is in a fever of excitement over the approaching military and me morial exercises on Chicamauga battle field. The veteran editor of the Times, who was there or thereabouts thirty-two years ago, has punished up his old can- teen and otherwise prepared himself to present a realistic picture from that stir ring period. It is rumored that reveille and taps are now sounded regularly in the Times office and everybody from the chief down to the galley boy is strictly on war footing Scimiter.

And Two Thirds From Birmingham.

The silver men had a big gathering lat Birmingham this week. Only twenty one counties out of sixty-sx were rep resented, and many of the twenty-one had only one man present. Russell was not in it. The fact of the business is, there are not many silver Men in Ala bama, anyhow, comparatively speaking. The wave of prosperity which is now Sweeping the country is opening the eyes of those few who have been blinded by the glittering silver talk. They, even, coming out on the right side. The cause of silver is waning in Alabama-in fact it has about waned.-ARussell Register.

As to the Resignation of Dr. Hawkins.

Athens, Sept. 19.-(Special Correspond ence Jour citizens were startled yester- day when it was announced that Dr. Hawkins had resigned the presidency of the Athens Female college. The board of trustees subsequently met and ar ranged with the doctor to keep the school together for the present, and permanent ly if the patrolege would justify it. No blame attaches to Dr. Hawkins, as he has done all in his power to sustain and build up the school. but for the want of local patronage and lack of interest of the members of the north Alabama con ference he was forced to the course adnnted.

CHANGE THE TUNE.

The authoritative statement from a member of the Belmont-Morgan syndi- cate that the syndicate. while not legally bound to do so. would continue to make deposits of gold as long as it was neces- sary or feasible to do so, ought to set at rest vast lot of silly talk. The syndicate has certainly lived up to its bargain, and every fair minded man should give it credit for patriotism and honesty of pur- pose. The gold scare has been worked to death The wreckers should spring some thing new.

IMPORTANT FROM HON. HECTOR LANE
TO County Exhibitors in the Alabama Building at the Atlanta Exposition:


 The time is now drawing near for the opening of the Cotton States and Inter- national exposition at Atlanta. The Ala bama building is complete and ready for exhibits, but before the decorators can begin their work it is very necessary for me 10 know how many counties will make exhibits and what their character and extent will be. The Importance of this cannot be over estimated for a number of exhibits will need more spacei than has been assigned them and unless all make exhibits who have signifed their inten- tion to do so the remaining space will be prorated among the known exhibits.
 Shipping tags have been printed and will be sent to each county exhibit upon requisition stating how many are needed and whether for agricultural, mineral, textile or timber exhibits.
 Trusting I may hear from each pro- posed exhibit at once l am, very respect fully. HECTOR D. LANE.

Prof. Francis Wayland of Yale Law school read a paper recently before the American Science association in which he estimated the number of habitual criminals in the United States, outside of prisons, at 3,O00000 This is at the rate of about one criminal to every twenty population. Professor Wayland must count every sinner as a criminal to justify such an estimate, but if so his es- ttmate is, of course, entirely too low. He needs an terpreter.-Charleston News and Courier.

then an active campaign will be begun. The insurreetion has spread from the lower to the higher classes. and men Of good position are every day enrolling themselves in the ranks of the revolution ists. One obstacle in the way of the movements of the troops is the lack of good roads There are only two made roads in Cuba, and both are west of Havana General Campos had been con fronted with many obstacels and has failed in several undertakings. His fall ures have been the opportunities of the revolutionists. Spain has two courses open to her. First, she can pour armed men into the island and overrun it by mere numbers; this would entail the necessity of keeping an army there at an enormous expense. Second, she can declare the autonomy of Cuba, and give her a gov ernment similar to that of Canada. The second course is a bitter pill fer spain to swallow but by far the most sensl- ble. If she does not take this course the movement, now only in embryo, Tor an nexation to the United States may gather in strength until it becomes irresistible.
 The cup for which the Defender and Valkyrie are contending is called the America's cup" because it was first won by the America. In 1851 MT. George Steers went over to England in his yacht America. This cup had been offered py the English club as prize to the pest yacht in the world, and MT. Steers won II with the America. This was the begin ming of the cc ntest between the onltea States and Great Britain. The next race was in 1870 and was again won by ar American yacht called the Magic. In 1871 the Livonia was built in England especially for the race, and won the cup, and she is the only challenger that ever won a race for the Americas s cup. Ihese yachts were in the 70-foot class and were dwarfs compared to the present giants. In 1876 it was decided that vessels se- lected to compete for this cup must pro- ceed under sail on their own bottoms to the port where the contest IS to take place." The present Defender was built by MT. Herreshoff. She is plated with aluminium and is cutter, the center board having been replaced by heavy, deep, leaden keel. She is in many respects a new departure. The building and main tenance of the Defender will cost her owners by the close of the season $250,O0o.
 It is urged by some who occupy the po- sition of knowing ones thatsthe Birmlng- ham district would suffer on account of a scarcity of skilled workmen should companies erect steel mills and kindred
 industries. The man who argues against the building of steel mills from such standpoint is an idiot Skilled or un- skilled labor will always seek points where it can best serve it's own ends. Experience teaches that there can al- ways be found men to work when remun- erative employment is offered.

The Southern Exposition at Atlanta will Joe the largest ever held in this section, and will have the effect of bringing the resources of the South more prominently before the people of Europe and America than any display ever before attempted. Former expositons in the South were very good in their way, but they were f1ampered on all sides. especially from want of funds and patronage. The Cot ton Exposition at New Orleans labored under great disadvantage, although they received quite handsome sum from the United States government. The railroad system of the South was inadequate to handle the many cars loaded With ex- hibits received at that point.

The young teacher, in her rounds to see pa- rents. was met with the reply, T would like to send my little boy or girl to the kindergarten, but they are too small to go alone" Then a happy thought oc- cured to the teacher-she would call for the children herself and be responsible for their safe returns Then she went to the livery stable and made arrangements to hire the big four-horse picnic wagon for two hours every day. So at o'clock every morning she will call in this big wagon for her little pupils, and will see them safely home in the same convey ance at 12 o'clock.

The Sheffield Reaper declares that 1t matters not what the gold bug press may say about the improved outlook, there arc too many hitches and halts in the commercial reports. The Reaper must have been gleaning from 1894 reports and overlooked the date. What about the advanced price in cotton that the It to i clan declared would never reach a higher point than cents until the free and unlimited coinage heresy became a fixed fact? What about the advance of s250 per ton on iron? How do you &C., count for the increase of from 20 to 30 per cent in wages of workmen all over the country? Look up the matter, white winged brother, and keep better posted.
