The people of Georgia are even
more vitality interested in maintaining
a public rail highway between Atlanta
and the Tennessee river as they were
in the days when their chiefest patri-
OTIS advocated and secured the build
ing of the state road. Competition in
the exchange of traffic between Geor-
gia and the west is of far greater ne
cessity now than then. The only alb

against railway mergers and commu-

The ocean is freedoms last invncible

ing irresistably to the idea that all
atoms are primarily Identical. ana
that the difference of weight OF the diff
ferent elements is due to the difference
in their energy"
Professor Babcock thinks he has
found a satisfactory explanation OF
the law of gravitation, and he con-
fesses he has been working on it for
something like twenty years.
The summary presented of Profess
sor Babcock's discovery may carry
conviction to the scientific mind. but
Lnere has been manifested DISPOSE
ton on the part Of some laymen to
treat it with levity.
For instance, The Chicago Record
Herald, breathing the atmosphere of
the stock yards, seems to think we
may find by this law that 1.-The weight
of pig is inversely proportional as it
strikes the vat to the inherent energy
of the animal as indicated by it's
sQueal." Or. to adopt illustrations
which may be better understood by
those unfortunates who have never
learned to enjoy the musical beauties
of the pig-squeal under such glorious
conditions, IF a feather were no more
ambitious than silver dollar, it would
be just as heavy; and if chunk or
lead were as anxious to do things as
a piece of chalk is, there would be no
difference in their weight. This theo-
~ makes it evident" continues our
esteemed Chicago contemporary that
the man who weighs 246 pounds is
heavier than the man who weighs
$50, not because he requires a longer
belt than the latter. but because he
has not so much energy"
1t is now up to Professor Babcock.

The Saving OF the State Road.

Incidents and rumOrs accumulate to
verify the rft-made prediction that
railway interests centering in Atlanta
Will finally ruin the value Of the state
road as an asset of the people of
Georgia.
1t is too early 10 discern between
the truth and fiction in the rumors
of mergers and consultations which,
whether SO intended or not, would log
ically bottle up the Western and At
lantic road at both ends. But should
they happen to come true within the
next dozen years the result will be
that at the end of the present lease
the line will be worth scarcely more
to the state than the market value of
movable equipment.
The Constitution has heretofore dis
cussed these possibilities fully and is
frank to say that events appear to be
marching to the conclusion we have
above stated. But we are gratified to
know from many sources and evil
dences that the solution of that event
suggested by The Constitution months
ago has found plentcous Judgment in

The Song Of the Camp.

"CHVe US q sOnS!' the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the camps all
lied
Grew weary of bombarding
The dark Redan In silent scott
Lay. grim and threatening, under;
And the taWny mound of the MalakOf
No longer l~lched its thunder.
There was a pause. A guardsman said,
I'VE storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
VIII bring enough Of sorrow"
They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon;
Brave hearts, from Severn and from
And from the banks of shannon.
They sang Of love and not of fame:
Forgot was Britain's glory;
Each heart recalled different name,
But all sang Annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong
Their battle-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak.
But as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains of powder
Beyond the darkenng ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again fire Of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters.
With scream of shot and burst of she'll
And believing Of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim
FOR a singer dumb and CORY;
Ana English Mary mourns for him
who sang Of Annie Laurie"
Sleep soldiers, still in honored rest
Your truth ard valor wearing;
The braVest arc the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.

Out Of the south is the chill wind blow
Straight from the white world of ice
and snow,
And over the wild sea my thoughts are
going
To a far country where roses glow;
For, dead, unto thee, when the clouds are
flying
Like war-torn banners the skies along.
In mournful measure my heart is crying
"Oh. my beloved How long? How
long,"
Low overhead are the dark mists trailing.
And hiding the mountains from longing
eyes
And, far beyond them, the ships are sail
ing
To thy fair homeland-Love's Paradise,
But here the skylark has ceased his sing
ing
And dropped to his nest with broken
song;
And ever to thee is my wild cry winging-
Love of my heart! How long? How
long,"
