SARGE PI ^ Few Remarks TJ D AtlarJa <J I would like to say -some more on ile political situation, but Brown says } ii dangerous and ! desist on his ac Putting politics aside-though I indi) see how tbis can bo done, as Cities is in most everything-I clear ly b?ve aright to answer those who Le afikei me questions as to what I ??ok is the worst evil that now con ffOoU us, and take ifc as an opportu tv to give me a -0D8 lecture on tem rtoce and to politely insinuate that j ,'noul? feel hardest against the ??fiok" evil. I will dismiss this in jrjation by saying that no man eau ?nd himself for drinking. Vow as to honest inquiries as to ltd I ta^c as the W01sfc cvil> I would Lt that no one thing is responsible fer thc conditions th?t confront us to* ?,Vi It has taken thirty years for us to trow to where we arc. Slowly but iirely there has crept upon us a de .irturc from old-time days which, if ?ev had come at once and suddenly, fiuld have overwhelmed the world, y i thc most ol' this has been done in ?e name of religion or under the pre ise of raising the human family to ?higher plane of life, a diner degree of culture and a better code of morals. Hider one sort of pretense and another tie home ha? been invaded, the old liddies and mammies were made gall-made to submit and join the coward march or stand as old fools (.dbe crushed by the pressure. This n$ the entering wedge. AU else has teme naturally and will continue to tose till this is a land without a Clod cd without family unless we call a Uh and get back to old times and old time ways. How to do this is the peat problem. I have my notions as to how to start, ht if I were to tell it all just as I feel about it, they would crush me as m old fool before morning, but per hps I will be allowed to say a few things, as a stinter. Would begin with the preachers. UD next Sunday morning I would have ?very preacher in this broad land arise in bis pulpit and announce to h is . con negation that no more societies would he allowed. They should call up ?very adjunct to the churches and s them forever. They should thea announce that in the future the thurohes would depend upon the Lord asbeiDg able to take care of His own without getting up any kind of schemes io raise finances or to ''draw" crowds. After they had done this, each in his CID way, I would have them turn over to the hired choir and dismiss them d then turn bask and join the whole congregation in singing : "All bail the power of Jesus' name," tad make it ring like it used wring. Then, af ter a good sermon, they should go among their people uud the good sisters that hereafter they should be "keepers of the hoiise" ind the brethren should manipulate io more political-schemes through the tharoh f and that uvejry hypocrite would W turned out at the next meeting. Dis carried out would look pretty gloomy for a time, but it is the way, ud I believe that God would bless them more. I apprehend that in a movement like tais the greatest howl would come m the women societies and the oily ngued slick fellows who generally ke themselves Bweet with these so rties. And I venture that the very men who .would make the greatest s are those who.are forever on the d attending to other people's fami is, while theil' own children are run ag wild at home and more than apt eir husbands are entertained oftener Iiis meals by some servant girl than J bis own wife. But the great howl oold come from these sweet, sleek .llow6 mentioned above. There is t but oae greater ourse to a church ?a these sweet, slick fellows, and ht in found in a sweet, slick preaoh r. This society feature is the greatest ?back we would .find in getting -ck to old-time ways. The truth is, . the churches have-come to be a' all matter in religious aff ai rs. Some teen years ago I wrote aome things connection with the. Young Men's ristian Association of Atlanta, me of my best friends told me I was fool and a pessimist* and that it waa e greatest thing ever originated as a .per to the churoh. Since that time n*ve known such meetings under G auspices of that'institution as v? verified the estimate I put upon then, till now I.am thoroughly con ked that it is nothing more or less ?Da nursery?of infidelity, skepti 01 and all other kinds of isms. me of the b?st people in the world ^ng to these societies,- but I can N you now, as I have told you bo 9re? they aro a curse to the human ?"'.y and tho church is gono if she n't unload them. ^0 doubt there are people now, and 0e of them mv friends, who will y that I -em a fool. They want Ihe JJNKETT. rpon the Evils of the ay. omlUuttoti. proof. My friends, there are many things in the present trend of affairs that is too d dicate to mention, else I could cite you to p oof instead of standing merely upon assertion r told Brown yesterday that worn, going into the business of the wori as competitors of men had done . | thousand times more harm than it had good. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred it has made loafers out of brothers and fathers, and has brought contention instad of benefits. Some wonder at tho increase of divorce suits-I don't. Women once made familiar with the work in the shops, the offices and the stores, is forever unfitted for a wife or a mother. Of course I know there are many worthy women who have to work, but there is not enough of these to set the pace. If it was only the good widows and the orphan girls who sought this work, there would be no harm in the matter, for the sex would hold its equilibrium. But when it comes that our girls scramble for these places in preference to being the keepers of thc house, the sex loses its balance and all thc world is injured. When I stress the danger that lies in our women departing from the old time ways. I do it not for something to say to be captious. My notion is that a people are all right so long as their women are right. No matter what we may think of the Jew, when we contemplate the character of the Jewish women everything is forgot in admiration of her virtues. There is not an intelligent man living but what lifts his hat in reverence at the pass <ing of a Jewess. The roughest crowds that ever gathered in the slums would give way and shirk from the glorious halo that encircles the Jewish woman. They are protected by their own sweet selves, and it is there that all women must stand for protection. Happily, the women of Georgia and of the south are not yet gone so far but what ; at a stride they can stand upon the safest ground for women. I can tell them that all the physical develop ment in the world with a culture that's brazen, oan never give them the poweT over man or the protection for them selves that is found in the- frailty of womanhood and the blush of modesty. No man who has watched the evolu tion of societyism for the past twenty years and has seen its effects upon .men, can doubt as to its effects upon women. Men think more of their lodges than they do their church and if anything must be neglected, it must he the church. The time has come when ?he "issues" of the day must be combs tted, both in State and church, and the sooner we get at it the better. SARGE PLUNKETT. -. - - Wanted to Be on Hand. There are some droll Irishman in Congressman O'Neill's district, accord ing to the stories he relates. An pmusing one was told by the congress man at the Capitol not long since, says the Washington Post. An old fellow who had scraped together $25, 000 or $30,000, wanted Lawyer O'Neill to draw- up his will. When the docu ment was apparently finished the law yer asked if there was anything else he wanted put down "Oh, yes," said the Irishman. "Fif ty dollars to be spent on the boys when I am taken to the cemetery on the day of my funeral." Calvary cemetery, in which all the Catholics of St. Louis arc buried, is several miles beyond the outskirts of ?the city, and there are numerous road houses at which "the boys" are in the habit of stopping for drinks on their way back from a funeral. Mr. O'Neill said to his client: "I presume you want the $50 spent on the way baok from Calvary." "Be jabera, no!" exclaimed the client. "Spind it going ont. I'll be wid 'em, then." Couldn't (Jet Any.

The Honey Bee not a Native of America No one seems to have taken the time and trouble to thoroughly inves tigate the early history of the honey bee in America. Enough is known, however, to assure us that it is not indigenous to the country, but was. in all probability, imported by the early colonists. The earliest mention of honey in America, so far as considerable re search discloses to the writer, is in Irving's account of De Soto's wander ings. While tho adventurer was at the village of Ichiaha, in June, 1540, his men found "a quantity of bears' greese preserved in pots, likewise oil made from the walnut, and a pot of honey. The latter they had not be fore seen, nor did they ever again meet with during their wandering'?," Some have inferred from this that the honey bee was in Florida at this period, and that it was indigenous to America. But this does not follow ; first, because the village in which thc honey was found was located in the couutry since known as Northern Georgia, or, perhaps, Northern Ala bama, and not in Florida ; second, the honey mentioned was very possibly the product of the bumble bee, which was a native and very widely scattered. Nevertheless, the honey bec was probably introduced by the Spanish settlers, in Florida, at least at a later period, for Bartram, who explored the country in 1773, mentions honey and beeswax as articles of barter among the Indians. He speaks of honey in so many places in his book, that it must have been quite common, and, therefore, could not have been the pro duct of the bumble bee, whose store of honey is very scant. Bartram was told by a physician that there were few or no bees west of the peninsula of Florida, and but one hwe in Mobile, which latter had been brought from Europe. Traders had also informed him that there was none in West Florida. At this period the honey bee was common all along thc eastern shore of the country, from Nova Scotia south ward. The foot that it was not found in the interior is good evidence that the insect was not a native of America. Otherwise natural swarming would have distributed it throughout the land long before the arrival of the white man. Jonathan Carver, aa Englishman, explored Wisconsin and the adjacent territory in 1766-67, and in his book, published soon after, he mentions thc commonest insects. The honey bee is not among them, but the bumble bee is referred to as follows : "The bees of America principally lodge their honey in the earth, to secure it from the ravages of bears, who are remark ably fond of it." According to a writer in The Amer ican Bee Journal for July, 1866, the honey bee was first noticed br white men in Kentucky in 1780, in New York in 1793, and west of the Misssis 8ippi in 1797. At the present day this industrious little bee is scattered throughout America, and the produc tion of honey is constantly increasing. -"Charlea H. 'Coe* in Scientific Amer ican. - ? ? O ?

Now there are over 400. g Origin of Pneumonia. lu pneumonia tho importun?e of the 1 role played by iniero-orgauisnis is now 1 generally acknowledged. Dr. Andrew 1 H. Smith, in his article on "Croupous Pneumonia," in a forthcoming volume 1 of the Twentieth Century Practice of 1 Medicine, hus done much to elucidate 1 these moot point? and to remove the 1 difficulties in the way of a more intel- J ligont understanding of the causation 1 of the disease. He takes the ground 1 that pneumonia is not an inflammation 1 of the lung, but that it is simply a pro- 1 cess of germ culture going on in the air cells, the culturo medium being sup plied from the functional vessels. Dr. Smith is of the opinion that tho key to the whole problem is in the double cir culation in the lungs, a thing known to ' every one, but the beariug of which 1 upon the pathology of pneumonia has been hitherto overlooked. Attention j is drawn to the fact that no other or gan ol' the body but the lung could ( structural health and diseased action j go onside by side, for it is the only one ] -although a somewhat analogous con- ? dition is met with in the heart-in i which the blood supply for nutrition j < and function are separately provided ! ' for. As might be expected, so radical a '< \ change of view as to the pathology of ? ? the disease carries in its train numerous | new views in respect to treatment. ! Moro than one-third of tin* article isde- ! voted to a consideration of this branch j of the subject, in marked contrast to the usual custom of writers. We have seen that Dr. Smith asserts that pneu monia is not un inflammation ol' the lung, for the reason that in Iiis opinion it does not affect the nutrition of the organ, but. is a process of germ culturo in which the pneumoooceus grows m u culture medium supplied by the func tional capillaries of the lung. Hence bis argument runs that therapeutic ef forts should be directed toward tho arrest or inhibition of this geno culture. Inasmuch as this culture medium is derived from the blood, any substnmo added to the latter will be also found in tlie former, and it' that substance is inimical to the growth of the coccus it will in so far act in the direction sought. Fortunately the pneumococcus is the most vulnerable of all the germs and possessed of the least vitality. We have, therefore, according to Professor Smith, a priori a probability that its .career in the lung can be modified by drugs. The one from which the most satisfactory results in this direction have been obtained is the snlicylate of sodium. Creosote is also valuable, ns are likewise large doses of quinine, which have been credited with an abortive effect long before the exist ence of any kind of micro-organism was recognized. In regard to the treatment of pneu- t monia by means of antitoxin, Professor Smith believes with most scientific men, that while there may be probably ? will be a great future for orrhotherapy, ? at present the results have been too indecisive to be relied upon us curative ? or remedial in this disease.
