finm0*0Jt0 Department. Color Blindness.?Two ex-coDductors of the Missouri Pacific met in the rotunda of the Grand Pacifld yesterday afternoon and began to discuss the reasons for their discharge. "I was fired," said one, "because I was color blind." "I didn't know," said the other, "that conductors were obliged to undergo the same test in regard to colors as the engineers." "They don't; but my color blindness went so far that I couldn't tell the difference between the color of the company's money and my own."?Chicago Herald. No Cure for "Divers."?Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, recently told of a colored clergyman who preached a sermon on the text: "And the multitudes came to - " * _/> j? him ana ne neaiea mem 01 uivers u incases." Said he: "My dying congregation, this i9 a terrible text. Disease is in the world. The small pox slays its hundreds, the cholera its thousands and the yellow feiver its tens of thousands, but, in the language of the text, if you take the divers, you are gone. These earthly doctors can cure smallpox, cholera and yellow fever if they get there in time, but nobody but the good lord can cure the divers." Not an Encouraging Prospect.? Doubtful Party (to gentleman)?Can you assist me, sir, to a trifle? I'm a stranger in a strange land 10,000 miles from home. Gentleman?My conscience! Where is your home? Doubtful Party?Australia.

Servant?"Blown to atoms; only a grease spot left of him." Agent? "Ha! Only a grease spot, you say? Well here's a bottle of my champion eradicator which will remove that grease spot in two minutes." A Household Hint.?Mrs. Molly Bigham, a newly married lady, does not know anything about housekeeping, but she is anxious to have her husband believe that there is nothing in the housekeeping line that she does not know. He happened to be in the room when the cook came and said: "Will you please gib me out de coffee ? De water is been a bilin' dis las' halfhour." "Let the water boil, Matilda," replied Mrs. Bigman, calmly; "the longer it boils the stronger it will be." No Taste.?"Jenkins, I've got something to tell you. It grieves me to say it, but as a friend, I don't think I. ought to keen silent." "What is it man, what is it?" "I saw Brown throwing kisses to your wife." "Great Scott. I wouldn't have believed it." "I thought not." "But, come to think of it, Brown never did have any taste.? Washington Critic. A Father's Privilege.?Brown?As your first baby is a boy, I suppose you have the privilege of naming it. Young Father?Yes, sir-ee, I wouldn't allow any one else to name that cherub. "Have you thought of a good name for him yet?"

Since the defeat of the prohibition cause j in the election at Atlanta, the prohibition ? committee, on behalf of the party in that city, have issued the following address to the people of the United States: The Prohibition party in Atlanta, recog- j nizing the fact that the friends of good government in other parts of the State ; and country have anxiously watched the ; recent contest here between the bar- j rooms and the people, send hereby their j cheerful greetings to all Prohibitionists, i and assure them that there is no cause for discouragement in the result of Saturday's election. If it were true that a majority of the legal voters of the county were with the whisky party, it would still remain true that the result of the election was but a temporary reverse in the slow but upward march of civilization. The whisky party will confuse your ears with assertions as to the cause and meaning of that result and the purposes of our party in the future. But the official organization, backed up by every vote in the Prnhihitinn nartv. declares to vou the fol lowing proposition: First. In the election of 1885 we cast for prohibition a majority of the largest vote ever polled before in Fulton county. In the election of 1887 we polled a larger one than in 1885. Sbcond. We solemnly protest that the majority obtained in this election by the whisky party was the result of stupendous frauds, and that out of' 11,000 votes registered for the election more than 1,500 were not entitled to the ballot, without counting the repeaters. Third. Under a two year's limit of prohibition, hampered by unexpired licenses, which brought down the time to scarcely more than a year, we were opposed not merely by the ordinary law breakers and criminals, but by the systematic efforts to defeat the constitutional will of the majority. Nevertheless, even then, imperfect as was the scant opportunity accorded us, so beneficent was the influence of this just and needful law, that under its operations: Crime in the court records ceased its regular constant growth and diminished more than one-half. Pauperism and vagrancy almost entirely disappeared from our community. Drunkenness became so rare that with a hundred thousand visitors crowded in one day during the Piedmont exposition into this city of seventy thousand people, the public peace was not once disturbed, and scarcely a drunken man was seen. Business prospered, debts were paid, and the prosecution of small unlitigated 1-- -i* ? ? ? _i_ at J suits enormously aimimsueu. The banking capital of the city far more than doubled. A million dollars was added to her manufacturing interests. Our property largely advanced in values. Our population was enormously increased. Our schools were greatly enlarged and still remained insufficient to suit the increased attendance. Public expenditures for public improvement surpassed what it ever was before, and yet the public funds were not exhausted. In every department of business industry, prosperity reigned, and above all peace and happiness came to women and little children. Fourth. It was because of this constantly increasing evidence and the beneficial effects of this salutary and wholesome law, that the whisky ring centered its strength in Atlanta. We do solemnly declare that the whisky business in general is the enemy of civilized society, and that in the contest just closed Atlanta was fighting the good fight of civilization against all the hosts of its enemies. Fifth. We assure our friends everywhere that we will make no compromise in this issue. We declare that it is wrong to sell liquor, and therefore, wrong to sanction or approve the sale of liquor. Whatever of evil there is in the business is shared in by the government, which authorizes the business. Whatever of wrong there is in the government that legalizes the traffic in liquor must be borne by those who consent to the law. As for us, we will not touch the unholy thing. We are, to a man, agreed that there is but one way to regulate whisky, and that is to prohibit the sale of it. THE ORIGIN OP GREAT CORPORATIONS. Machinery is now recognized as essentiol tn nhourt nrnHnnHnn N^nhndv mil produce effectively and economically without it, and what was formerly known as domestic manufacture is now almost obsolete. But machinery is one of the most extensive purchases and its use requires an amount of capital far beyond theordinary individal to furnish. There are very few men in the world possessed of an amount of wealth sufficient to individually construct and own an extensive line of railway or telegraph, a first-class steamship, or a great factory. It is also to be remembered that for carrying on production by the most modern and effective methods, large capital is needed, not only for machinery, but also- for the purchasing and carrying of extensive stocks of crude material and finished products. Sugar can now be, and generally is, refined at a profit of an eighth of a cent a pound, and sometimes as low as a sixteenth; or in other words, from eight to sixteen pounds of raw sugar must now be treated in refining iu order to make a cent; from eight hundred to sixteen hundred pounds to make a dollar, from eighty thousand to one hundred and sixty thousand pounds to make a hundred dollars, and so on. The mere capital requisite for providing and carrying the raw material necessary for the successful prosecution of this business, apart from all other conditions, places it, therefore, of necessity, beyond the reach of an ordinary capitalist or producer. It has been before stated that in the manufacture of jewelry by machinery, one boy can make up nine thousand sleeve buttons per day; four girls, also, working by modern methods, can put together in the same time eight thousand collar buttons, j But to run an establishment with such j facilities . the manufacturer must keep constantly in stock thirty thousand dollars' worth of cut ornamental stones, and a stock of cuff buttons that represents nine thousand different desiens and patterns. Hence from such conditions have grown I up great corporations of stock companies, which are only forms of associated capital j organized for effective use and protection. They are regarded to some extent as evils; but they are necessary, as there is appa-1 rently no other way in which the work of ! production and distribution, in accordance j with the requirements of the age, can be ! prosecuted. The rapidity, however, with which such combinations of capital are organizing for the purpose of promoting industrial and commercial undertakings on a scale heretofore wholly unprecedented,! and the tendency they have to crystalize | into something far more complex than ! what has been familiar to the public as! corporations, with the impressive names ; of syndicates, trusts, etc., also constitute ; one of the remarkable features of modern j business methods. Older Than the Obelisk.?"A fine tree, that?" "Yes, but it is rather young." " 'llather young?' Why it is over 300 ' years old." "That may be," returned the second ' speaker, who combines with his profession of architecture a profound knowledge of forestry, "but that is not very old for a tree." "Perhaps not for Europe or Asia, but recollect that this is a new country," observed the reporter, who had accompanied j him to Central park, where a handsome oak tree attracted tneir attention. "How old do you think that obelisk is?" inquired the architect. "A little over 3,000 years." "Well, what would you think if I told you that in one of the younger states of the Union I had sat under a tree that was j full grown and vigorous when the Egyp- j tians were toiling on that shaft?" "I presume I should have to believe you." "As you please about that. But I have chipped bark off a pine tree in Calaveras county, Cal., that spread shade over hiany square feet of ground before those pothooks were carved on the side of that column. This tree that I speak of is supposed to be the oldest tree in the world. Its age is estimated at 3,500 years. The climate of the Pacific slope seems to be wonderfully preservative for trees of its kind." "Could a tree ever live that long in this climate?" "I doubt it. No tree certainly ever has. But when you speak of this being a new country, bear in mind that all countries were made about the same time and trees were not made by men."?New York Mail and Express. ATLANTA'S ITEIG? OP TERROR. On the night succeeding the prohibition election in Atlanta, a highly respecraoie young white man, Charnell Hightower, a photographic printer by occupation, was assaulted by a party of drunken negroes on account of his prohibition principles, and struck on the head with a rock. The b}ow fractured the skull, from the effects of which young Hightower died the following Wednesday. Hissupposed murderers have been arrested, but an investigation has not yet been held. This murder has created great excitemeut in Atlanta, it being a legitimate result of the licensed system and following the prohibition defeat even before the result was officially declared. In addition to the above occurrence, Atlanta correspondence of December 1, to the New York Herald says: The negroes, since the election, have been conducting themselves in a lawless manner, and have created an incipient reign of teiror in the residence portion of the city. Nightly they gather and indulge in the vilest of Billingsgate. Women out after nightfall are subjected to this and kindred indecencies. The latest discovery of their barbarous practices was made to-day at No. 7 Jones alley. From beneath the building a seminude negress, whose clothing was torn into shreds, was rescued almost frozen to death. She was fourteen years of age, and told how she had been dragged to the spot, fnrnori tn rlrink whiakev at the Deril of her life, and then thrown beneath the house and assaulted. Mr. William Rosser, son of the great cotton warehouseman of Atlanta, had a bloody encounter with a negro burglar at his house this morning. Soon after daylight he was awakened by a noise, and observed a very large negro walking stealthily in the hallway. Mr. Rosser took his pistol and stepped to the door. The negro did not seem to fear the revolver, and with an oath clashed at Mr. Rosser, who pulled the trigger. There was a flash and a report, and then Mr. Rosser found himself clasped in the negro's arms. There was a tussle, and in it the two men fell against a railing which gave way, and they both fell down the stairway into the basement, the negro uppermost. Instantly the burglar sprang to his feet and rushed up the stairway. Mr. Rosser grabbed a railing and following the negro hit him a severe blow, knocking him down. In the scuffle that followed they rushed into Mr. Rosser's room. On a chair was a large knife which Mr. Rosser grabbed. He then began cutting and slashing the negro. With each stroke the blood came and the negro quickly cried for quarter. Mr. Rosser led him to the front door to call help, but the instant the door was opened the burglar began fighting again. Mr. Rosser again resorted to his knife, but the negro finally shook him off and made his escape. His. tracks were marked with blood for several blocks. Deceiving the dogs.? vv nen compelled to travel all night, the Siberian natives always make a practice of stopping just before sunrise and allowing their dogs to get to sleep. They argue that if a dog gets to sleep while it is yet dark and wakes up in an hour and finds the sun shining, he will suppose that he has had a full night's rest and will travel all day without thinking of being tired. One hour's stop, however, at any other time will be of no use whatever.?Boston Judge and Jury. w w /troyal mcwi? it! 'AKlK? POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.

March 2 !i lv A BAD NASAL ORGAN, For over four years I have been a great sufferer from a terrible form of Nasal Catarrh. I was greatly annoyed with a constant roaring in my head and my hearing became very much impaired. The discharge from my nose was profuse and very offensive, and my general health impaired. 1 tried most all prominent physicians, but they did not cure me, and I used various advertised preparations without benefit. i ine day I chanced to read a remarkable article written by a prominent ciitzen of Athens, Georgia, stating that lie had been permanently cured by the use of eight bottles of U. B. 15.?Botanic Blood Balm. Being skeptical on the subject, I wrote to him on the subject and received a most encouraging answer to the effect that he had been cured long enough to be thoroughly satisfied that iio return of the disease would ensue. I then sent to the drug store of T. E. Smith & Brn., and purchased it. B. II., ami to my utter astonishment and satisfaction the use of ten bottles has restored my general health, stopped the roaring sensation, entirely healed and cured the nasal catarrh and , I am proud to recommend a blood remedy with such powerful curative properties. I shall continue its use a little longer and feel confident that I will he entirely cured of one of the most obstinate cases of nasal catarrh in the country. The business men of our town know of my case. n. C. Euwakks. I.ampassas Springs, Texas, May 1,18SG. BLOOD OF A TEXAN.

THE CYCLONE EXTINGUISHER. Tirzah, S. C., March 10, 1887. Mkssrs. Jefferys & Hoke, Gents: THE Cyclone Spark Extinguisher put on my engine a few months ago is giving entire satisfaction. Before it was put on, my ginhouse several times caught fire from sparks, so I had to quit running while the wind was blowing in the direction of the gin-house. Now I can gin and saw with perfect safety, no matter which way the wind blows. Haven't seen a live spark from the engine since I have been using it. And another goodthingaboutit is, itcan'twear or burn out. Will last as long as the engine. I think it a great invention, and wouldn't take double the cost of mine if it was so I couldn't get another one. I think you ought to reduce the present high rate of insurance on gin-houses where these extinguishers are used on the engines, or, at least, recommend such to the companies you represent, because I see 110 risk whatever from the engine.
