in this volume, many of the designs have suf-
fered sorely with the passage of time; but
great deal survives evidently in fine condition,
and we can from the plates that the work
is in the finest style of Byzantine pictorial rep
rescntation Enough of the mosaic work has
completely disappeared to make the interpreta
ton of the symbolicaI scheme difficult, but the
authors venture with confidence upon the fol-
lowing summary:
In the summit of the dome, as is customary.
Christ the Almighty-thc PantOCratCr-dOmi-
mates His Church Earth. Immediately
rounding Him appear His Holy Mother the Mes
sengcr who prepared His way and the four
ATchangeIs, the Powers fulfilling His will. Next
in order come the Prophets who foretold His
coming. Immediately below these in the pen
dentiYeS, are represented four of the chief
from Gospel story, and on the main arches
find the Warrior Saints, champions and sup
porters of the Church Triumphant. Lower
down in the reCeSSeS of the piers of the dome
the four great Fathers-pars of the Church
and. in minor positions filling up the interstces
of the construction. are placed numerous Saints
and Martyrs. over the bema the Descent of
the Holy Spirit appropriately covers the place
in which the Holy MYSTERIES are celebrated,

The .Geor0ia pine

The Georgia Pine Railroad vii
soon be extended from Bainbridoe tc
this city. There is hardly anJ cues.
ton of doubt about that now.
The preliminary surveys have all
about been completed and the route
OF the road determined upon. Tai
lahassee has so near complied with
her contract, that the parties having
the matter in charge have guaranteed
the balance, relying upon the people
to back them up.
The Savannah Morning News is
responsible for the statement that
grading will commence at both ends
OF the road by the 10Th instant.
Whether that is true or not, remains
to be seen, but the opinion of the
writer of this article is that the date
is not far wrong.
The line as finally located, runs
just south of Fort San Luis, right
down the left of the aIron Bridge
Road" through Mr.. John P. Roberts
place and on west, going between the
public road and the old Seabury res
idence. Then it crosses the public
road going in northwesterly direc-
ton through the Meginniss tract and
continues almost a direct line to the
OcklOckOnee river.
Those who are familiar with the
hllly country through which it runs,
but have never observed this route
with a view to raiIroading will be
surprised when they do so to find
the small amount of grading to be
done, as compared to what the cas-
ual observer thinks it will be.
An eighteen foot cut right at Fort
San Luis is, the deepest this side of |
the river. The line follows ravine
all the way from the terminal loca.
ton to the Meginniss place.
The opening of this road, which
will be accomplished inside eighteen
months Quitting it at the outside
lmits), will result in far greater ben
sfit to this section of the State than
most people at present think. The
andS adjacent to the line sur
eyed are the finest trucking and
watermelon lands in this country.
1t is a noticeable fact, in South
1eorgla, that almost every farm along
he lines of railroad has long side
rack. The reason is obvious when
ne passes along through there in the
nd summer season. On all these !
ldings are long trains of box cars
eing loaded with melons.
Our lands are far superior to those y
f the melon section of South Geor- '
ia and the only thing that has pre- :
ented US from entering into compe. r
tlOn with them for the melon trade .
as been the lack of quick transpor-
ItiOn to the north and northwestern 3
arkets. The completion of the q
eorgia Pine Railroad will give US 4
lis, through connecting lines be- 4
ond Bainbridge, and we can then add
elons and trucking products to our II
oney crop. h
