the Paris Figaro may possibly serve as seed corn for future experiments
 Among other needed reforms the Figa- TO proposes that all pedestrians shall be duly numbered and regiestered, and that they shall be compelled to ring a bell or blow a horn when crossing a street or meeting @ bicycle on a public road. At night all unmounted citizens shall wear lantern depending from the neck by means of a stout cord. and be furnished with the regulation red side lights. No citizen shall proceed at a faster rate than one mile in two hours while within the city limits, and this provision will particularly apply to messenger boys and people who are in the habit of att tending local confiagrations. Any pedes- trian who gets knocked down by a bicy- cle shall be mulcted in a heavy amount for the first offense, and for the second he shalll be transported for life to a mountainous district It is hoped that a strict compliance with these regula- tions may do away with the annoyance and danger now attending the use of the bicycle.
 There is perhaps one view of the ques- ton that is entitled to serious consider ation. The bicycle has an undoubted right to the use of public highways, but there is no reason why the riders should not observe the rules of the road, eSpe- cialy in passing ordinary vehicles from behind. Horses that have become per- fectly accustomed to meeting bicycles may yet be stratled by the sudden appa- rition of a rider who comes up noise lessly from behind and whizzes past on the wrong side. There is no excuse for this sort of thing and riders and drivers may be justified in resenting it. Any road is wide enough if 1t is bounded by courtesy and good will

What It Means.

Montgomery Evening News.
 Many of our heretofore democratic friends talk very glibly, not to say flip panty, of the propriety and desirability of forming a silver party, regardless of old party lines. They talk of their will lingness to unite all friends of silver under one banner and of cutting loose from all old party associates who do not agree with them on the financial ques- ton. The most singular and incompre- hensble part of this programme is that these men, many of them, refuse to ad- init that they are anything but demo- crats, or that they design abandoning their democracy. True, there are some among them who freely avow their will lingnesS and readiness to quit the party in order to further the free silver move ment, but there are others who insist that they are and will remain democrats, even while uniting with the enemies of the party in an effort to organize a dis tinctive free silver party.
 Certainly these men deceive them selves in their efforts to advance this new theory. They ought to know that it is without the bounds of possibility to form party of such element as would of necessity be drawn together in such a movement and still adhere to the prin- ciples of democracy. How can they ex- pect to bring together in one organiza- tlOil pOpQiISlS dlu ueIDU- crats and form a party which would en- dure or allow belief in what we consider the essentials of democracy? There could not possibly be anything in com mon with such an organization but the one demand for free silver, and this would prove a rope of sand. Would a party so composed submit to be called democratic? Would not all the different clements of which it was composed be eternally at war?
 What sort of a combination would that be if composed of three such elements as Peffer Blackburn and Reed. if Reed should declare for the free silver move ment? And yet such party would nec- essarily be composed of men who differ as diametrically as do the three named on almost all questions but the one which is setting some good men beside themselves
 We can understand how a democrat can resolve to quit the party entirely and ally himself with another, but we cannot understand how he can suppose it possible to unite with what is to be called silver party, and still call or con- sider himself democrat. This is just what some of our congressman are claim ing their ability to do, but if they can dc it they will show an ability fo be in two places at the same time that will-belie all the hitherto considered immutable laws of nature.

THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE.
Is It On Its Last Legs 2-Mobile Called
 On Again.

The Southern league of ball clubs, says the Mobile Herald, will soon be thing of the past. The league has never been too strong. and it's death was not unex pected. Time and again within the past month breaks have occurred, and on three occasions Mobile has been asked to take the place of some unfortunate league town that could not hold up it's could not succeed are that the salary limit was too high, the jumps too long and the patronage too light
 Memphis is in a bad way again, and yesterday Mobile was called on again to come to the rescue. MT. John Kelly, the well known baseballist yesterday received a dispatch from the president of the Memphis team, reading: Do you want Memphis team and franchise. An Swer quick, as another city wants it."
 Kelly sent no answer. knowing full we'll that it is only matter of a few days when he can get almost any team he wants. The scheme of a Gulf league has not been dropped, and as soon as the Southern league disbands Montgomery, Mobile, Pensacola and New Orleans will get together and play the season out. The jumps are small and three of the towns named allow Sunday ball playing There is also a certain rivalry between the four cities named that is bound to be a drawing card. Managers Kelly and let the Mobile team have the ball ground, and will do everything in their power to encourage the sport
 Manager Kelly this afternoon received dispatch from Manager Powers of the New Orleans team asking if it would do any good for him to come over to Mo- bile. Kelly wired him to come and talk ba Se eGall

FEsT1NA I,ENTE.

The iron men say they expect another advance in the price of iron shortly, but they are we'll pleased with the present prices. and are not eager for another advance. They prefer that customers get used to the recent big jump before another advance is made. It won't do to startle buyers and cause panicky rush for iron with it's consequent slump. Our English cousins especially have been startled and surprised at the jump of a dollar ton. They marvel at American ways. An advance of pence in England is considered a big thing. They are writ ing over here to find out what it means. The Tennessee Company receives letters every day from England, wanting to know when those shipments of iron will be sent over. But, alas, the increased home demand has cut out the British consumers. They can't comprehend it; they ain't used to it; they. will have to get used to it by degrees. They must follow the example of Ko-Ko in their own Mikado. When Nankipoo became en- gagged to Yum Yum of course he took a lovers privilege and indulged in caress- es. Ko-Ko caught them and was very much shocked. But realizing that it was inevitable, he besought them to proceed by slow degrees, so he could get used to it. The British manufacturer sees our home producer and consumer caressing each other and cutting him out of cheap iron. and while it is very trying on his feelings, he will get used to it by de- grees

Bicycles and Legislation.
Harner,s Weekly.

The vexed question of the rights of bi- cycle riders on public highways bids fair to become one of the stock problems If civilization. To the local city father and the rural legislator it has opened up boundless field of intellectual activity, field in which We may expect to see the bucolc mind indulging itself in the most surprising and eccentric gyrations with out let or hinderance Already there is a very fair crop of bills on the subject.

Proposed Monetary Conference.

Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish minister, says Spain will take part in the next international monetary confer ence, as she is greatly interested in the solution of the bimetallic question. Spain uses both gold and silver, the latter be- ing coined at fixed ratio with gold, and there is also an issue of paper currency. Only two of the Spanish colonies, Porto Rico and the Phillipine islands, use sil- yer almost exclusively. For these req sons Spain's policy is definitely favor able toward the use of both the metals, and her interests, particularly to the colonies, are toward an enlarged use of silver. The belief is expressed by some of the best posted representatives of for eign countries that any international monetary conference agreement should embody certain essential features. To assure it's power it must secure the ad- herence of the United States and at least one of the great money countries of Flu rope-Great Britain, France or Germany and the adherence of as many lesser countries as possible. It should also in- clude that feature of the Latin Union whereby -the amount of silver to be coined by each member of the union is definitely fixed in advance in accord ance with it's needs. The opinion is ex- pressed that these features would tend to make an international agreement very effective and dominant on the monetary conditions of the world.

THE LARGE FAMILY.
Harper's Bazar.

Harper's Bazar.
 If we may draw inference from certain discussions which have recently interest," ed readers here and abroad, the thew woman," whoever that nebulous person. age may be, intends to frown upon the large family. One child, or two at most, it is gravely asserted should satisfy the mother heart and fill the mother arms, so that she may have time for duties and pleasures and the pursuit of ambitions in which child-bearing and chld-rearing play very subordinate part. She around whom the large family gathers, the fam fly numbered by six or seven or nine children, sons and daughters growing to- gether in beauty, developing in the world Of home as only brothers and sisters can, is regarded as an object of pity, if not of contempt.
 With a lofty disapproval of the inten- tions of the Creator, who made the race, man and woman, one the complement of the other, these latter-day champions of Woman, written with a capital, look scornfully on the wife who is satisfied with quiet home life and ways, and who accepts motherhood as her crown of glory, her highest dignity and her dear est joy.
 They forget or ignore, in their com passion for the woman who bears more than one babe, that with every little one whom she cradles against her breast the mothers whole self is re- newed, so that she puts on beauty like garment, and is literally blessed among women when she broods over her child.
 In the old days and the old races the childless, not the many-childed woman was the object of commiseration. Am l not better to thee than ten sons?" ex- claimed the husband of Hannah, as over and over she implored with passionate entreaty the gift from God of the child so long withheld Dear as the husband was the bond between him and the wife drew more closely when they called little child their own.
 One has frequently noticed, sometimes with wonder that the middle-aged moth CT of large family actually looks and certainly feels younger than her con- temporary who has either had no chi dren or only one or two. Strangely enough the large family is as easily brought up and educated and in the end turns out usually as well as the small one. The more crowded the nest the closer the fedglings press together.
 Self-denial, family love, family loyalty, thrive better where there is reason for their exercise and growth.
 There are good times in the family cir cle large enough to have enjoyment within itself, and not dependent alto gether on outsiders. The mirthful dance, the games, the evening songs, the stud ies. the mutual pride, the protection of the younger to the older, are possible in the large as they are not in the small household. And she who stands at the helm, guiding influencing, controlling, moulding her sons and daughters, need long for no wider privileges nor yearn for greater responsibility

A Great Day for the Old Soldiers-A Barbe-
 cue and Splendid Oratory.

cue and Splendid Oratory.
 Scale, July 13-(Special Correspond ence.)-The long expected day of the vet erans' reunion and barbecue has come and gone Friday, the 12th. the town was full of old soldiers and their friends and relatives. The crowd came from all parts of Russell county, Girard, Phenix, Hurtsboro, Columbus, Ga., Troy and Union Springs and other places to the number of 2000, or about that numebr, 200 or more of them being vets. There was plenty of elegant barbecued met-,s- pig. kid. mutton and shoat for all.
 The people of the surrounding country began coming in early in the day. Then the special train with the delegations from Columbus, Phenix and Girard ar rived about 9.30 bringing in nearly 300 people and having on board the historic little cannon, "Red Jacket" the pride of Columbus, kindly loaned by the mayor for the celebration. Afterwards train on the Mobile and Girard road brought in two carloads of happy souls from the towns below.
 The little cannon was carried to the court house hill and fired, which created great commotion among our rural cit izens and gave warlike character to the occasion.
 Camp Waddell is named in honor of Maj J. F. Waddell, late of Russell coun- ty, gallant soldier who organized and commanded the company of artillery during the war known as "WaddelPs bat tery." A number of men in this com pany were very young men from Russell county, many of whom took part in the celebration yesterday and are now white headed men. l remember seeing on the 18th of April, 1865, this battery in com mand of it's dashng major drag their guns to the bridge over the Chattahoo- chee river in Columbus, Ga, and turn them on the men of Wilson's raiders rest ing on the Girard hills, awaiting nightfall to make their charge down on the city.
 Gen. George P Harrison of Lee, repre- sentative from this congressional dis trict and the youngest general in the Con- federate army, and MT, John E. Henry of the law firm of Smith & Henry had been invited to address the people and did so in a manner most acceptable to the crowd. The Phenix brass band had come down on the special and made nut sic during the day. The court house was so full of humanity that the speakers were compelled to stand out in the open air. When the band struck up Dixie" the rebel yell made the welkin ring.
 At the conclusion General Harrison made a fine speech, rich with wartime recollections with happy incidents and true, loyal sentiments to the south. He is popular speaker here and came fully up to all expectations.
