THE SEABOARD AIR LINE. '
IT GOES INTO ATLANTA IN A NOVEL .
, ' WAY.
Of course nil the people along tlio line
of the Seaboard Air Lino aro deeply iu
torestod io its entry into Atlanta, Ques
tions about thifl umtter nro asked duily,
The Atlanta Couhtitution of Tliursduy
shows that despite obstacles Atlanta ie
, jotcred. It Bays that "All aboard for
the Georgia, Carolina and Northern" will
be a sound heard within tho next ten
days iu that city. It is no longer a ques
tion of a strip of land for a right-of-way,
on which to come into the city, with this
plucky new road. It no longer waits
udon a decision of tho Supreme court.
But it has made arrangements which will
soon make it a factor among Atlanta's
passenger carriers. The arrangements
were made at the same time the buildiug
for the general offioes was leased in At
lauta. The track of tho road is already
laid to Edjjcwood. But it can go no
further without securing a light of way,
other than tho originally surveyed for
the use of it tracks. "Last Monday the
officials of the road leased a building for
its general offices. It happens that the
Edgcwood electric cars spin past this now
headquarters of tho railway. It also
happens that the track of this new road
is laid up to the stopping place of electric
cais. Mr. Hurt is president of the At
lanta stre-jt railway company, whose elec
tric cjjrs run to where the track of the
Georgia, (arjlini aud Northern eiitk
These favorable conditions suggested to
the officers of the road a solution of a
bard problem which has faced them since
they have tried to enter Atlanta. As a
result the passengers of the Georgia, Car
olina and Northern will be transferred at
Ionian park to the Kdewood avenue cars,
and will be taken to the city and deposi
ted at the depot of the former road. The
conductors of. the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern will.telegruph to the superin
tendent of the street railway company
tho number of passengers on board, in
time to have a sufficient number of cars
waiting at Iumm park to take the pas
tengers intd the city. Arrangements to
this effect have already been made. A
splendid depot will bo built. The new
road will be independent of the contested
right of way, but its attorneys will not let
up in their fight for it. The arrival in
, Atlanta of the first train load of passe n
gers over the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern will be an event in railway his
tory. and will bofwitnessed with pleasure
The general offices will be occupied on
April 1st.
IMMENSli COTTON SURPLUS.
The March report of the statistician of
the Department of Agriculture recently
issued shows that the production of cot
ton of the world exceeded the consump
tion more than ,1,500,000 in 1890 and
further greatly enlarges tho excess in
1891, glutting the markets, increasing
visible stocks during the past year more
than 100,000 bales and reducing the Liv

THE PARSON'S CAYENNE.
IS HOOSIER FRIEND THOUdUT IT TOO
HOT FOR A UNIVERSALIS! TO USE.
St. Louix Republic,
That a little fun now and then is rel
ished by tho best us well as tho wisest of
men, is not infrequently illustrated in tho
social meetings of the Protestant clergy
of the,city. They enjoy a pood joko as
heartily as anyone, and not a few of tho
St. Louis ministers are capital story tell
ers. As an instance, the following ludU
crous anecdote is (jiven as related tho
other day by an old aud prominent min
ister. "Many years since," bo said, "when
Simon pure Univorsalism was preached
I chanced to be in Indianapolis during
tho process of a convention of ministers
of that faith. Stopping at the same ho
tel where I did was a young parson who
had come from tho East to attend the
convention. As it afterward developed
he had taken the precaution in visiting
that malarious country to carry a vial of
cayenne pepper in his pocket, to sprinkle
his food with, as a preventative of fever
and ague. At dinner one day a tall
Iloosier observed the parson as he season
ed his meat and addressed him:
''Stranger, I'll thank you for a4 leetle
of that 'ere red salt, for I'm kind o' curi
ous to try it,' said he.
"Certainly," returned the parson, "but
you will find it very powerful; he careful
bow you use it.'
"Tho Hoosier took the proffered vial
nnd feeling himself proof against any
quantity of raw whiskey, thought that he
could stand the 'red salt' with impunity,
and accordingly sprinkled a piece of beef
rather bountifully with it, and forthwith
in roduced it into his capacious mouth.
It soon began to tako hold. He shut
hit eyes and began to writhe. Finally be
could stand it no longer. He opened his
mouth and screamed "fire!"
" 'Take a drink of cold water from the
jug,' said the parson.
"Will that put it out?" asked the
maityr, suiting the action to the
word. In a short time the unfortu
nate man began to recover, and turning
to he parson bis eyes yet swimming in
wa er, exclaimed: ,
' 'Stranger, you call yourself a Varsel
lis', I believe?"
'I do,' mildly replied the parson.
" 'Wal, I want to know if you think
it consistent with your belief to go about
with hell fire in your breeches pocket!' "
PRIVATE iIlFB OP DAVID B. HILL
LasternShore Ilcrulil.
One thing certainly ought to be kept
before the people for the sake of mere
justice to an outtaged public servant of
great eminence. It is admited by Sena
tor Hill's bitterest enemies and defamers
that ho is a man absolutely without a
personal vice. He is a total abstainer
from intoxicating drink; he does not even
use tobacco, he is spotless in his treat
ment of women; he is not greedy ot filthy
lucre; high as he is in office, he is a potr
mau let poor men remember that; no
dishonest gains have ever even been sus
pected of passing through his hands; in
short, his private life is absolutely beyond
reproach.
Now, thero have boen men of tainted
private life who were honest and patriotio
statesmen. But in all the history of the
world there has never been one single
man of spotless private character who was
a corrupt politician no, not one. Mr.
Hill is no exception to this universal rule.
He is a high toned patriotio statesman;
ho will live down these calumnies, and be
held in high honor when his defamers
have sunk into their merited infamy.

DYING FOR LACK OF TWO CENTS TO BUY
A LEMON WITH.
St. Lonit Chronicle,
O, that other half of the worldl If
you have novcr experienced it how can
you toll how it lives? There is one acci
dent told by a palo faced tenement houso
resident. She has seen prosperous days,
but now has, or had, only a sick husband
and four little children.
"One needs su m toy things!" she sigh
ed plaintively. "One day last week I
was out of coal, and I sent for a bushel,
but I only had 8 cents, the coal was 9.
The coal man said he would wait until I
could pay the rest. Then my husband
wanted a sour drink. He had a burning
fever, poor fellow, and wanted a lemon so
bad" she stopped her flying needle just
ong enough to wipe away a tear there
were other mouths to bo fed "but I did
not have the 2 cents to buy the lemon
a and I couldn't get it." Then sho
broke entirely down, and sobbed aloud
with her apron over her face. "O, it
seems as if I wouldn't have felt half so
bad when I saw his dear, dead face in
the coffin yesterday if I hadn't thought
how he wanted that and I could not get
it? I wake up in tho night and thjnk of
it until it seems as if it will drive me
wild!"
Then she choked bauk tho sobs and
hurried on with her work. The woman's
earnings by making pants at 85 cents
per dozen grows smaller with every mo
ment taken for tears.
But can you imagine it? A shortage
of 3 (wots to buy ueoiarie4 of life? Tho
lack of two pennies to get a drink to
cool tho fevered thirst of a loved one who
is dying, make life a long agony of re
gret! Did you ever realize before the
value of a postage stamp.
A JERUSALEM HOSTELRY.
Philadelphia Record.
In Jerusalem tho finest, and, in fact,
the only hotel, is kept and owned by
Pbiladelphian. Several years ago he
visited the ancient city and saw that a
good hotel would pay, and he at once
erected a first-class hostelry. Pilgrims
from every land bound for Jerusalem
were only too glad to find a clean, com
fortable hotel so far away from home, and
it is now royally patronized by travelers,
Guides are kept who are experts in
Biblical history and who pilot guests to
all points of interest. The discussions
around the hotel tables, in which Moses,
Jacob, Pharaoh, Paul, John and other
figures of sacred history form the chief
staple of conversation, are said to resem
ble very much those of a minister's
weekly meeting.
L 1ST SLAVE IMPOR TEK DEAD.
Capt. Timothy Mcaher, a veteran steam
boatman, of Mobile, Ala., is dead, aged
79 years. He imported the last cargo of
slaves brought to the United States. In
1861 he brought over 160 negroes, and
spirited them into a canebreak 100 miles
up stream. The thirty negroes that fell
to his share he settled in a suburb of
Mobile, where they and their descendants
have remained. They have never asso
ciated with other negroos, are but partially
civilized, still uing their native lanuae
and are ruled by a queen of their own
uhoobiog.

My Dear Sir: For the benefit of those
who suffer from Nervous Debility I would
say that in my opinion no medicine will
give the permanent relief to be obtained
from the use of Kleetropoise. I have
had one in my family for nearly a year
and do not hesitate to say it is invaluable
to us.
In my own case of Nervous Dyspepsia
which was attended with all' the horrors
incident to the disease in its worst form,
found it gave me relief when everything
else failed, and I feel confident iu use
laid the foundations for the good health
I now enjoy after three years of suffering
such as lew men "mM stand.

HECOTIT BACK.
IT WILL PAY EVERY TIME IF YOU WILL
ONLY WORD THE ADVERTISEMENT
RKllIT.
Parlabarg Times.
A man was denouncing newspaper ad
vertising to a crowd of listeners.
"Last week," said he "I hud an um
brella stolen from the vestibule of tho
church. It was a gift; and, valuing it
very highly, I spont double its worth iu
advertising, but I have never recovered
it
"How did you word the advertise
ment?" asked a merchant.
" Here it is," said the man, producing
a slip cut from a newspaper.
The merchant took it and read:
"Lost, from the vestibule of Church
last Sunday evening, a black umbrella.
Tho gentleman who took it will be hand
souiely rewarded by leaving it at No.
High street."
"Now," said the merchant, "I am
liberal advertiser, and have always found
it paid me well. A great deal depends
upon the manner in which the adverlieo
meut is put. Lot us try your umbrella
again, and if you do not acknowledge
that advertising pays I-will purchase you
a new one."
f he merchant took a slip of paper
from his pocket, and wrote :
"If the man who was seen to take the
umbrella from the vestibule of the
Church last Sunday does not wish to get
into trouble, nod have a stain cast upon
the christian character which he values
so highly, he will return it at once to No.
lliglt,strcct." ,
This duly appeared in the paper, and
,i f i . . . .
me iouowing morning the man was as
tonished when he opened the front door
of his residence. On the porch lay at
least a dozen umbrellas of all shades and
sizes that had been thrown in, while the
front yard was literally paved with um
brellas. Many of them had notes attach
ed to them, saying that they had been
taken by mistake, and begging the loser
to keep the little affair quit.
WHAT MAN IS MADE OF.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW, READ THIS AND
FIND OUT.
Aocording to a French chemist, man,
from a chemical point of view, consists
of thirteen elements, five of them gases
and eight solids. Submitting to chemi
cal analysis a man of the average of 154
pounds we find that he is largely com
posed of oxygen, which is in a state of
extreme compression; in fact a man
weighing 154 pounds has 97 pounds of
compressed oxygen in his make up. The
volume of this at an ordinary tempera
ture, if freed, would exceed 780 cubio
feet. The weight of the hydrogen is
only 16 pounds, but were this in a free
state, at a temperature of 73 degrees, it
would occupy a apace equal to 2,800 cub
it feot. The other three gases are: Ni
trogen, nearly 4 pounds; chlorine, about
26 ounce"; aud fluorine, 3 ounces. Of
the solids, carbon stands at the head of the
metalloids, there being about 31 pounds.
Next comes phosphorus, 26 ounces, and
sulphur 'A ouuees. Tho most abundant
meta) is calcium, more than 3 pounds;
n.'Tt p.it.n.ninm 2 nunivx; nrvliiim "iimiicns
and iron, 1 ouuoe. The various combi
nations which the chemist can form uf
those meta's and metalloids are almost
innumerable.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
FREE SILVER WILL INCREASE THE CIR
CULATION AND WILL NOT RUN GOLD
OUT OF THE COUNRY.
One of tho leading bankers and miners
of San Franscisco, Mr. Isaac Truinbo,
has made a special study of the silver
question. He says:
"There has been a steady increase in
the amount of business done in this coun
try and a constant shrinkage of the vol
ume of money per capita At the be
ginning of the late war this nation did
815,000,000,000 of business, and we had
$22 for every inhabitant. Last year tho
business' aggregated $GG,000,000, but tho
money per capita in the country has
dwindled to less than $12. So there is
an absolute need of more currency.
"But the opponents of tho free coinage
bill say that if the bill becomes a law gold
will go to 25 percent, premium. Admit
that and say that you have $100,000 in
your vault, and what will you do with
it? The abstraction of gold would put
money to 6 or 7 per cent. , per annum.
I possess $100,000 and earn that per cent,
by tho withdrawal of your yellow metal.
Then you would sit down and look at
your gold for a year. It would bring
you in about the same revenue as an un
improved corner lot. I am getting 7 per
cent, or higher for my silver. How long
before you wou'd come to the conclusion
to sell your" gold, and would not all who
held it come to this conclusion at the same
time. Now, to whom will sell it?
"Suppose I buy a rtosk at par and it
runs up to 25 per cent, premium. The
first thing I do is to sell my stock and
capitalize the premium. That is what
every individual would do in stocks, and
he will do just so with gold. It is said
the foreigners will get all our gold. Is
it to be supposed that we are such fools
as to sell our gold for nothing? And if
they are willing to pay ui 25 per cent.
premium for it we will dig it out of the
earth so fast that it will make us rith
and them poor. Moreover, the ef
fect of gold at 23 per cent, premium
would be the same as putting an export
duty of 25 cent, on all English and foreign
goods exported from abroad, How long
do you suppose they would pursue this
course toward us their greatest customer?"
