ORGANIZED THE SECOND.
The Silver Men Presenting Solid Front
for Judge Griggs.

The Silver Men Presenting Solid Front
for Judge Griggs.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
For some time past it has looked as if
the silver men were going to blunder in
the second district and lose the congress
man by their own lack of organization.
The gold men were united on Judge
Bower, while with two or three silver
men in the field there was danger of de-
feat from division. But last week there
was conference in Albany oflrepresent-
alive silver men from each county in
the district and they are now presenting
solid front, with Hon. James M.
Griggs as the candidate for the nomina-
ii on on the 9Th of August.
This very proper procedure was
brought about by Editor Mcintosh, and
the Albany Herald will do valiant work
for the standard bearer of the cause of
the people. The people of Georgia are
for the restoration of silver to coinage,
and every congressman from Georgia
should stand on that platform. Such,
we blieYe, will be the case next fall in
every district except the eleventh. Con-
gresham Turner, by reason of long ser.
vice in congress and his prominence on
committees and ability ON sthe floor of
the house, is valuable representative,
and should be kept congress. But he
will be elected in spite of his financial
platform, and not becsuse of it. In no
other district in Georgia can a gold
standard advocate be e ed to congress,
and in the eleventh distn, we have no
idea that any other gold man could be
be elected except Mr.. Turner. He is
elected because of the prominent posi-
ton he holds in congress and not be-
cause of his financial views. We're lie a
silver man he would be stronge, with
the people of Georgia.
But in the second district there is no
dominant personality to carry the cleo
ton for the gold standard, and. there is
every reason to believe that with the
silver men united on jim Griggs he will
be nominated by the democratic party of
the district at Camilla on August 5th
next

Congregational Seeds.

A New England congressman recently
sent one of his constituents package of
flower seeds for the latter's wife, and re-
ceived genuine Yankee acknowledge
ment, says the Washington Post. The
letter thanked the member for the flow
er seeds so kindly sent, Including
sweet peas and other varieties of-long,
unprOnounceable, unitelligible, roman
tic names. We have planted the seeds, :"
the letter continued, land if they grow
we will use the names to train the vines
on
In the same connection one tells at the
capitol of visitor to a committee room
who found congressman's clerk busily
directing seed packages.
"What are you doing?" the visitor
asked.
Sending out garden seeds" was the
answer.
''Seeds," said the other. "This late
in the season you ought to be send
ing out vegetables. -

He HAD A GOOD MEMORY.
How Bright Young American AstOnished
Some Smart German Officers.

How Bright Young American AstOnished
Some Smart German Officers.
A story is told of bright young
American and several German officers
who at dinner one evening set out to
make him uncomfortable by chatting
him about his country. The young man
is Albert II. Washburn, the United
States consular agent at Magdeburg.
Henry F. Merritt, consul at Chemnits,
was the first one of the Americans at
tackled with a taunt from one of the
Germans that he could not give the
names Of the presidents of the United
States. Merritt named them over with
some deliberation and drew from his
German friend the declaration that he
did not believe there was another Amer
lean present who could do it.
Young Washburn had said nothing
until now, but he broke in and declared,
81 can do it, and l will give you the
vice presidents. - He was about to begin
when a second thought struck him, and
he said, "While I am about it, might
as we'll give you the secretaries of state

giving the names and kept tabs on the
young man as he correctly went through
the list. They were pretty well backed
down already, but Washburn had no
idea of letting them off SO easily. "Now,
I should like to know, " he said, "wheth-
or any of you can give the names Of the
Prussian rulers from the time of Charlie
magne and his sons down to the Emper-
or William"
Not one of them could go half through
the list, and they were on the point OF
apologizing to the young Massachusetts
scholar when he took them down still
more by modestly suggesting, Perhaps
had better do it for you. He began
with Charlemagne and went through
the list without a break, much to the
establishment of his German hosts and
the delight Of Consul Edwards and the
other Americans. How did you do it?''
asked Merritt "Oh, my father had a
taste for such things and taught them
to me when l was boy. and, you see,
they are sometimes useful to know,'' he
replied. San Francisco Examiner.

A DEMON OF THE DEEPEST DYE.
An Ex-Convict Makes an Assault Upon an
Americas Lady,

An Ex-Conviot Makes an Assault Upon an
Americas Lady.
Bill Jefferson, negro, made crimi-
nal assault. upon Mrs. Jacob Bass. of
Americas, the other afternoon, and is
now in Jail.
A theory for the preparation of the
crime has been advanced, which, by
many, is considered very plausible.
Fifteen years ago Jefferson assaulted a
Miss harris in East Americas, for which
crime he was sent to the peneten tiary
for twenty years, but was pardoned by
Governor Atkinson in January last. 1t
is said that at the time of his sentence
the negro swOre that he would VET he
revenged upon Miss Harris, who was the
principal witness against him, His
threat, it is said, was that he would
some day come back and either assault
her or kill her.
The theory is that jefferson believed
Mrs. Bass to be the Miss Harris whom
he assaulted fifteen years ago, hence the
supposed second attempt. The fact that
the negro was armed with a pistol Mon.
day when the crime Was committed
would lend color to the alleged threat of
murder In the event of failure in his
purpose.
The negro is evidently demon of the
deepest dye.

UNEXPECTED GUESTS TO DINE.
The Wife of a Chicago Jurist Pleas
antly Teaches Him a Lesson.

The Wife of q Chicago Jurist Pleas.
antly Teaches Him q Lesson.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Hardly anything is more calculated to
rouse a womans ire than the bringing
home by her husband of unexpected din
ner guests. Most men are aware that this
occasionally the husband Is sufficiently
courageous to brave the inevitable curtain
lecture. A distinguished jurist not long ago
periled his domestic peace in this way, and
is now congra tulating himself on the out
come of the affair.
After particularly successful days bust
ness he invited two or three OF his profess
sional associates to dine with him, forget
ting, in the ela:ion of the moment, that his
wife was totally Lnprepared for such an
having previously sat at the judges table,
which was presided over by one of the
NEST accomplished housekeepers in the CITY,
Besides, she is brilliant woman in con-
versation and accomplished in every way
The guests therefore looked forward to
most enjoyable evening.
When the party arrived at the judges
home they were received by the hostess in
her usual charming manner, not a sign be-
ing visible to them that they were unex-
pected guests. The host, however, caught a
look of his wife's eye, which reminded him
forcfbly that there was hereafter The
lady was entirely equal to the occasion
things unpleasant all around She accepted
the situation with a good grace and made
the best of it.
The modest meal was served as promptly
as possible, but although it was not a
srmptuous banquet, it was at least agree

able to guests and host. When dinner was
over, just before leaving the gentlemen to
their wine and cigars, the hostess arose,
and, flashing amused glance 1T her hus-
band, said:
Gentlemen, remember you have dined
with the Judge this evening; will you do me
the honor of dining with me this day
week."
The keen-witted lawyers took in the stu
alton, and amid chorus of laughter read
lily accepted the invitation. The lady left
the room, end for the next half hour the
judge was the target for innumerable sal
lies. These he bore good -humoredly, proud
of his wife's tact and adroitness
The dinner next week was a tremendous
success, and 1t was noticed that the hostess
wore a handsome diamond brooch which
she had never exhibited before. The judge
declines to say yes no, but his friends
assert the brooch was peace offering and
a,tokcn that never again will he bring I'M
expected guests home to dinner.

A WARM JANUARY
The Weather Bureaus Bulletin for
the Past Month.
Less RAIN and SNOW TEAM USUAL
Exceptional Departures From the
Normal.
T II E LOCI AL REC RID

Thu weather crop bulletin Of the weather
bureau for January has just been issued,
showing a remarkable record. The month
just passed was known in Washington to
be unusually mild, and there was practi-
cally 'otal lack of snow, so that it was
common remark that the winter had been
lost altogether this year. This bulletin
shows that the condition so notable here
prevailed to even greater degree through
out the country. and that with the excep-
ton of a comparatively Insignificant strip
Of eastern territory the month was warm
and dry. In the map accompanying this
statement the shaded portion indicates the
area Of temperatures higher than the nor
nal, while the irregular lines ending in fig
ures show the amount of departure from
tho average temperature for the month.
The unshaded ARA shows the small strip
Of Atlantic coast country that experienced
lower temperatures tfan usual.
1t Is stated in the bulletin that: 1.-The
average temperature for the month over
portions of western New York. and gen.
orally throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Delaware and southern New Jersey, was
normal but elsewhere in the Atlantic coast
and east gulf districts the month averaged
slightly cooler than usual. the average
daily oeEcfency being greatest along the
immediate coast. where 1t generally ranged
from three degrees to four degrees per day.
In the upper lake region. Ohio valley.
Tennessee, and throughout the entire coun-
try to the westward of the Mississippi
river the month was not as cold as usual,
the temperature excess generally exceeding
three degrees per day over the whole Of the
region named, and over an area extending
from the central Missouri valley westward
to Idaho including portions Of Washing
ton, Oregon and lorthern Utah, the aver
age daily excess ranged from nine degrees to
eleven degrees, the maximum excess rang
ing from twelve degrees to fourteen de-
grees per day occurring over the western
portions of Nebraska and Kansas. Along
the immediate Pacific coast the average
Temperature for the month ranged from
two degrees to four degrees per day above
the average, the excess increasing east
ward.
Generally the temperature extremes of
the month were not unusual The 9th, how
ever. was an exception ally cold day in New
England and the lower lake region, and at
a number Of stations In these districts the
minimum temperatures on that date were
the lowest On record for the first decade Of
January. The only maximum tempera-
lures exceeding the January record Of for
mer years occurred at Los Angeles, Cal.
