this country, and bring good news with
it. and all of my relations will purchase

the sick, food for the hungry am the
support of thousands Of families, where
you were never seen.
oh that might be very true, Dut
YOU never build a bridge. 1t took two
millions of my kind to build one-Just
think if that had to be paid in pennies,
laughed the gold dollar. Il am paying
for your bridge now, and a twenty
million dollar terminal railway, be-
sides. You was just mentioned in the
contract" quietly remarked the little
penny.
Just then a pedestrian stopped and
read the sign at the entrance to the
bridge-"Fare over the bridge cents"
and the conductor called out the car
fare, please"
There is a sorowful contrast between
the hustle and hustle, the stir, the
strife, the fight and the race of this
great world for the almighty dollar,
and the everlasting blessings from the
poor womans mite the little
penny"

THE LITTLE PENNY.


In these days when the almighty dol
lar is the triumphant hero of the
hour, the little penny. so modest. and
unconspicious. is almost forgotten: no
one pays any attention to tits only
q penny is passed from hand to
hand Unobserved, doing its duty as a
medium Of exchange" scorned by
some, sDeered at by others, thrown
aside by the millionaire, eagerly gath
cred up by the pOor-as the poor mans
or poor woman's friend and the me
dium of delight TO the children.
Though unobserved and undesirable
in Wall street, or the great money ex-
changes of the world. the little penny
goes quietly on fulfilling its mission TO
the wOrld-tO the rich man who scornS
40 it TO the poor woman, who grasps
ir tightly while she calculates and
thinks how much she can buy with il.
and the child stretches it's tiny hand
after it while the eyes are sparkling
with happiness over the possession OF
such a treasure. To her it looks as big
as a cart-wheel, or as big as the moon
itself
1T takes one hundred Of you fellows
to make one Of my equal" says the
dollar TO the penny. But il takes but
two of my kind TO buy a pint of milk.
and for a loaf of bread. Ten of my
kind will buy meat enough for a little
family" Wei, I don't like tenement
living, SAYS the dollar-i'I don't
move in that society" Il know you
don't. I supply the daily wants of the

demand in all sorts is up to former ratio,
and prices are strong with upward ten
dency. To the large call from nearly all
parts of the west has been added that of
the south, which ordinarily makes New
Orleans it's base of supply. The sudden
enlargement finds dealers al this point UNI
prepared, and all arriving parcels the next
fortnight have been promptly taken up.
Advices from Charleston note liberal re-
ceipts of Carolina, but with demand OF
equal proportions prices are without ma-
terial change. In New Orleans the out
look is discouraging; planters generally
indisposed to let their rough go into the
infected districts. and as a result all mills
are closing down. As stock OF cleaned
rice Is limited, barely equal to local re-
quirements prices are firmly maintained
ut values fractionally higher than either
foreign or Carolina. Cables from abroad

ATLANTA's PRECAUTIONS.
4 British Captain Makes Complaint
About Detention.


There was little before the meeting of
the sanitary board yesterday besides rou-
tine. A very satisfactory letter was read
from DIR. Stone, in which he outlined the
precautions which the authorities of At
lanta are now exercising in the admission
of persons, baggage and freight from the
infected territory. DR.. Stones letter
shows that Atlanta is to all intents and
purposes guaranteed against New Or
leans and all infected points.
No person is admitted TO Atlanta now
without a certificate showing that he has
not been in the infected district, or if he
has been in the infected district he must
satisfy the inspectors that he has not
been exposed to the infection. If there is
reason to believe that he has been ex-
posed TO the infection. he is placed under
detention for ten days, and his clothing
and baggage fumigated. No freight Is adj
mitted from the infected territory except
through shipments in sealed cars. The
precautions are such that DR.. Stone does
not believe there is any danger Of the in
lection reaching Savannah by way of At
lanta. The quarantine at Chattanooga is
said to be very rigid.
A complaint was received by the board
from Capt. Richard Walton of the British
steamship Port Victor of unusual deten
ton at the quarantine station, Capt.
Walton filed an official protest with the
British vice consul, in which he states
that his vessel arrived at quarantine from
Kingston, Jamaica, on Sept. 2. There were
various delays which he enumerates be-
fore he was able to discharge ballast,
after which the vessel was fumigated. The
vessel reached Savannah Sept. 10, fourteen
days after arrival at quarantine. If there
was such an unusual delay Capt. Walton
fails to state where the fault was, The
complaint has been referred to Quaran-
tine officer Linley for report,

picked it up and continued his plea.
