One day last week while Mr. J. D. Oalloway was making his rounds with the rural mall, and while near Mr. A.

However, the driver of the car paid no attention whatever to his signal and came along without slack? ing his speed one bit.

May 12.?The monu? ment erected by the Georgia division of the United Daughters of the Con? federacy to the memory of Capt. Hen? ry Wirt, in charge of the Federal prisoners confined at Andersonville in 1864-16, was unveiled here today with appropriate exercises. The town was thronged with visitors, many of whom arrived in special trains. Scattered among the 3.000 or more Southerners was a sprinkling of men and women of the North, some of whom have relatives at rest in the national cemetery nearby, numbered among the 13,000 warriors of the blue who died in the Andersonville prison. Those from beyond Mason and Dix on's line looked on in silence while t he tribute was paid to the memory of the prison commander. The stars of the Confederacy were everywhere In evidence, and there was an abundance of flowers, literal? ly covering the base of the granite rhaft which sends Its slender apex to s height of sixty-five feet. As the silken cords were drawn by Mrs. Per In. of Natches, the only living daugh? ter of Capt. Win, 2,000 voices, led by a chorus of Daughters of the Confed? eracy, Joined In the singing of "Dix? ie." following which myriads of floral wreaths were plied high above the monument, adding to its massive ap? pearance. Refreshments were served by Daughters of the Confederacy to sev eial thousand visitors. Addresses were made by Pleasant A. Stovall, editor of the Savannah Press; Dr. J. C. Olm? sted, of Atlanta, and Capt. L. P. Park, of Augusta. The last named was on duty at An? dersonville for a time and gave an in? teresting account of his personal re? collections of the Military Prison. The singing of "Maryland, My Maryland,* by a large chorus, firing of a salute by a military company of Americus, Qa? and sounding of "Taps," brought the exercises to a close. Capt. Flrx was a native of Switzer? land, the date of his birth being 1822. After the close of the civil war he was tried by a military commission ot Washington, on charges of murder and flagrant cruelty to prisoners In hU care. Contrary to the customs snd laws of civilized warfare, he was condemned to death and executed at Washington on November 10, 1865. Dtlighter of New York Banker Mar? ries Austrian Nobleman. X -\v York, May 10.?Miss Nora Ise? lin, daughter of C. Oliver Iselin. yechtsrnan and banker, became the Counters Collaredo-Mannsfeld this af ternooi . The marriage took place at the home of the bride's uncle. C. O Donnell Iselin. Count Rudulf Collaredo-Manns? feld, brother of the bridegroom, was the bes: man. Coun: Ferdinand Collaredo-Manns? feld Is attached to the Austrian em? bassy ar. Rome. He and the Countess will leave for Europe the latter part r>f this month, after a brief honey? moon ar Hot Springs, Va* No elaborate wedding marks this latest union of American dollars and a foreign title. On the contrary, It has seemed to be the desire of the parties most concerned to avoid all pebllclty in regard to the marriage and the details of the wedding. This extreme reticence Is said to be due, In part at least, to the early opposition or. the part of C. Oliver Iselin to his (laughter's choice of a husband. The well-known hanker, and yachtsman Is understood to entertain a strong dis? like for international matrimonial al? liances, particularly where a member of his own family is concerned. But the determination of his wife and daughter won the day, and after a per.son.il interview with his prospec? tive Bon-in-la\v in which the latter made a most favorahle lmpressi ?n. Mr. Iselin gave his consent for the marriage to take place. Miss Iselin and Count Colloredo Manntftld met for the first time last pear, when Mr. Iselin and his family weie in Rome. They became engaged to be married before Miss Iselin re turnd to New York, ami the mar? riage would have occurred earlier had not Mr. Iselin been opposed to his haughter's marriage to a foreigner. Hy marrying Miss Iselin the count allies himself with one of the first families of New York.

Two million dollars is reported to W ?V . ?<4^?M ...IH .1-1 ?? Mobile's Plea for a Commission Form of city Government. Mobile is very anxious for a chang* in her form of government, and is printing some very Interesting matter with regard to government by com? mission, with the purpose of arousing sentiment there in that method in the stead of her present plan of gov? ernment. Among other things the Mobile Register prints the story of Leaven worth, Kans., and a most interesting story it Is. V seems that Leavenworth got in a bad way. Its situation was not fa? vorable to good government, having a Soldiers' Home at one end of the town and the army barracks at the other. The town was typically West? ern and breezy. Taxes went as high as 6 per centum, and yet there was not enough money left to pay for street lighting or employ an adequate force of police and firemen. Proper? ty value decreased so greatly that the revenues were much reduced; and there was extravagance in govern? ment in addition. Industry languish-1 ed, and trade was full. Citizens be? gan selling out and moving away, not being able to make a living there. Affairs were at the lowest ebb when the commercial association took up the subject of commission form of government, and went to work and obtained that form; the club nomi? nated five good men as commission? ers, and the five were elected. "Im? mediately," says Mr. Howard Wilson, of Mobile, who was of old a resident of Leavenworth, "confidence returned, all that had been lost under the coun? cil and aldermanlc system of gov? ernment was regained in police and fire department reorganizations, and In other ways. During the first year of the change considerable work was done on the streets." The commissioners have recently been re-elected except the mayor, who did not care to serve another term. Business has revived, and the people are full of hope for the future. Mr. Wilson recites that a wealthy con? tractor, who promised to invest $30, 000 in Leavenworth. if commission government were installed, has made good his promise. So, Instead of cap? ital moving away, it has begun to come back to Leavenworth. The Register concludes: Mr. Wilson expresses fear that Mo? bile, if it should adopt the commts ?on form of government, would not obtain the services of the right sort of men; but, we ask, why this lack of confidence? Mobile surely can d< as well as Leavenworth in the choice of public servants. It is the system we have and not the men we select that causes present dissatisfaction Moreover, under the primary and election-at-large, with every man fre< to run who can get the endorsement of 25 electors, political domination will l>e set at naught, and the best men will win. At any rate, we would be willing to risk the danger, if any ex? ists, for the sake of getting a system that promises an Improvement in government.
