SEABOARD AND SOUTHERN.

The New York Mail and Express
says:
Out of the confused and contradicto-

lations existing between the Seaboard
Air Line and Southern Railway one
fact seems established. The two lines
are to be open ated in perfect harmol-y
hereafter, so far as freight rates are
concerned. All talk OF a consolidation
of the roads is declared untrue.
Regarding the changed relations be-
tween Thomas F. Ryan and John Skel-
ton Williams, representing the two
systems in certain lawsuits, no official
announcement is to be made. The
matter will simply be dismissed and no
more will be heard of it. This accords
with the wish of both gentlemen, who
in times past have INDUCED in some
very bitter language concerning each
other. A public reconciliation is out
of the question, but private animosities
may be sunk in the excitement of sue

THE HERMIT OF A SWAMP
DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED

The body of eX-Confederate Brlga-

five years Bins had lived solitary life

retreat was far removed from the near

ashes by those who went 10 it after his
BODY had been identified.
Bins made his appearance on the
mountain in 1865. When he first came
he wore a gray uniform, and on ltwere
the stars of brigadier general. Ten
wears after Bins settled on the mount
aims his life story came out through no
fault of his. VIM. Becker a veteran
of the union army, who had occasion
to visit Atlanta in 1878, commenced an
investigation and discovered from the
confederate records that Herman BINS
had enlisted as minor officer soon al
ter Sumter was fired on. He rose rap
idlv, and at the close of the war had
the rank of brigadier general.
At the outbreak of the war Bins was
a well-to do planter in middle Georgia.
While he was in the army his two
children died. When Sherman march

Georgia and leaving desolation behind .
Bins home was one of the places of
which nothing was left but ashes:
Mrs. Bins had fled before the arrival
of Sherman and joined the refugees.
Exposure and hardship brought her to
her death.
When he returned to his plantation
he found the ashes of his home and the
graves of his children and wife. Cen

A SWARM OF LOCUSTS.
It Took Two and Half Hours for Them to
Pass a Given Point.

One afternoon, near Masera, in Ba-
sutoland. what seemed like a dense
cloud of smoke passed around the edge
of a mountain, appearing as II some
native village was on fire. But instead
of fading away like smoke 1t retained
it's density and stretched across mount
aims and Sky for some time, and seem
inUlv without termination. AS this
cloud came nearer however, | saw II
was composed of millions of small pr
ticles hying along like dust and soon
realized it was q swarm OF l0custs.
They appeared in the distance indeed
like smoke, some Swimming over the
top of distant mountain, others IN
the same line surrounding one closer,
and behind them the cloud sun came
on.
ON a green plateau close by OBJ
served some natives attempting 10
drive them away as they fell to the
Ground and rose again. Mum ers
dropped to the ground in this manner
TO oct a rest. 1t took two and hall
hours for this swarm TO pass given
point: but in the case of large swarm
they will continue to pass for more
than day. and so dense that shadow
is cast over the country. When pass
ing through two swarms 1t was IKE

to ride quickly through them they rat-
tied like heavy hail, being over an

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
An Extraordinary Rum0r of a
Combine Comes from the
State Capitol.

Tle Macon Telegraph prints the fol-
lowing dispatch from Atlanta
An interesting and his hly important
political rumOr heard at the capitol IS
to the effect that political com bina-
ton has been formed between Hon.
Fleming G. duBignon and Governor
Gambler, which has resulted in the
withdrawal of Hon. Pope Brown from
the gubernatorial race
In return for Governor Gamblers aid
in bringing this about, it is said, Mr..
duBignon is to support Gambler for the
United States senate against Clay.
If this rumor is true it will create a
sort of political sensation, for the rea-
son that duBignon and Clay have here
tofOre been close friends politically.
The formers position, however, has no
doubt been considerably embarrassing,
for the reason that to further his gu
bernatorial aspirations it was necessa-
~ for him to remain close to Gambler,
while the latter is generally conceded
to have some aspirations of his own
which would effect Senator Clay's seat.
Hero is where the difficulty arose.
Either Clay or Gambler could be of un-
told advantage to duBignon in north
Georgia, and duBignon might "be hap
py with either were the other dear
charmer away" But he could not
love them both as of yore without
arousing the suspicious of one of them
The rumor is that Mr.. duBignon has
elected to tie to Governor Gambler, in
return for which the latter has used
his influence to sidetrack Col. Brown,
which, it is calculated, would leave
duBignOn clear field in the wiregra IS
counties and in goOdly portion OF
south Georgia. 1t is also said that the
governors influence has also extended
to his friend Clark Howell, who has fl
Tally consented to remain out of the
next gubernatOrial race and again take
| the presidency of the senate, thereby
remaining in line for the governorship
four or six years hence-with chance
to slip into congress in the meantime.
The arrangement with Col. Brown
is said to be based on the agreement
that if Mr.. duBignon's health will not
allow him to enter the gubernatoriaI
race Col. Brown shall then become a
candidate and shall receive the com
bined duBignon and Gambler strength
Thus it would seem that the next GU
bernatorial race, from the present
view point, is to be between Terrell
and duBignon, and a battle royal is
| promised
