RANDOM REMARKS
All the current news in this
week's News.
So far as we can learn the crop
prospects of Chattooga are good.
The season is a little late, and
growing crops as a consequence are
11 ather smaller than usual at this
i time of year, but the recent rains
that have fallen will hasten the
growth and with continued good
I seasons through this month there
i will bo good crops harvested.
! The season of religious revivals
is Imre now and Hie ministers arc in
i the lield gleaning and the harvest,
■as it will ever be, is bounteous.
■Chattooga, has a<i earnest and hard
! working set of preachers and their
; work lias been attended with good
■ results. Tiiose who can cannot do
better than lend them a helping
hand in the great work they are
i engaged in.
The reunion of the 6th Georgia
i regimeat at Sardis church last'
I week was an enjoyable affair. Fifty- j
i three survivors were on hand and
while some of them came a long
i distance they expressed themselves
as amply paid for their trouble. No
speeches were made, all contenting
themselves with talking over old
times and in attacks upon the am
ple commissary department, which
was stored with an abundance of
good things for the inner man.
The white Republicans at Knox
ville and Chattanooga played off a
j trick upon the colored people in I
| the recent election that they are l
i not likely soon to forget. In mak-)
j ing up the ticket a colored man '
was placed on it in each city, but <
j when the votes were counted it was
found that all the white Republi
cans were elected while the colored
men were badly beaten. Colored
people were placed on the ticket to j
secure the colored vote for the
white Republicans, but the latter
failed to vote for the colored candi
dates.
From time to time there have ap
peared in the Rome Tribune sup
gestions that the building of u
railroad from Raccoon Jlills to
Stevenson, Ala., would be a paying
investment. And there is not much
doubt but that it would. It would
shorten the distunce from all points
northwest to all points southwest
fully 40 miles, and would open up a
country where timber, minerals
and coal are in paying quantities.
The distance is about 27 miles and
no line of that length oilers a bet
ter chance as a paying investment
or would develop a richer mineral
section.
Chattooga, apparently, has less
interest in politics than any county
that could be found. When the
congressional committee met in
Dalton to lix upon a place for hold
ing a convention Chattooga did not
send a representative and that too
when she could have secured the
convention by a little clfort. Last
week she did not send delegates to
Atlanta to help nominate a govern
or and other ofllcers. It remains to
be seen whetl er she sends delegates
to the congressional convention at
Cedartown or not. Clements will
be nominated, but then Chattooga
ought to have a linger in the pic in
naming a Democratic congressman,
for it will bo remembered that at
the time when mens souls were be
ing tried she gave Clements the
largest majority of any county in
the district.
The eulogy delivered over Court
land Parker, the free thinker, by
Ingersoll, has attracted a great deal
of attention. The address was
eloquent, but offered no hope, no
consolation to the bereaved wife.
The infidel dwelt on the virtues of
the departed and the glorious lib
i erty of thinking and doing what
j one pleases, but of the future he
i said nothing that can be construed
I into a pleasant thought. His ad
dress was melancholy and
I hopeless and it can easily be told
| it is the productions of one who
I sees nothing but clouds ami d.irk-
I'
II ness ahead. It was intensely hu
! [ man, intensely sweet, but intensely
‘ hopeless; the wail of the loving
’ over the lost. No wonder Mrs.
■ Parker, after Ingersoll finished, had
’ a Christian minister to say a few
j! words from which she no donut dc
-7 rived more consolation than she

NYE VISITS THE NAVY.
Vessels Which Are Conven
iently Located In Full
View of the Ocean.
Bill Nyc in New York Wotld.]
It has become such a general
practice to speak disrespectfully of
the United States navy that a few
days ago I decided to visit the
Brooklyn navy yard for the purpose
of ascertaining, if possible, how
much cause there might be for this
light and airy manner of treating
the navy and, if necessary, to take
immediate steps toward purifying
the system.
I found that the matter had been
grossly misrepresented and that our
navy, so far as I was able to discov
er, is self-sustaining. It has been
thoroughly refitted and refurnished
throughout, and is as pleasant a
navy as any one would sec in a days
journey.
I had the pleasure of boarding
the man of-'.var Richmond under a
I Hag of truce and the Atlantic under
a suspension of the rules. I re
mained some time on board, each of
these war ships, and any man who
speaks lightly of the United States
naw in my presence hereafter will
receive a Stinging rebuke.
The Brooklyn navy yard was in
angerated by the purchase of forty
acres of ground in 1801. It has a
pleasant water-front, which is at all
times dotted here and there with
i new war vessels undergoing repairs.
I Since the original purchase others
: have been made and the land side
of the yard enclosed by means of a
' large brick wall, so that in case
' there should be a local disturbance
lin Brooklyn the rioters could not
break through and bite the navy.
In this way a man on board the
I Atlanta, while at anchor in Brook
lyn, is just as safe as he would be
at home.
In order to enter and explore the
naw vard it is necessary that one
should have a pas-. This is a safe
guard, wi-ely adopted by the com
mandant, in order to keep out
strangers who might get in under
the pretext of wishing to view the
yard and afterwards attack one of
the new vessels.
On the day I visited the navy
yard just ahead of me a plain but
digniiied person in citizens dress
passed through the gate. He had
the bearing of an officer, J thought,
and kept his eye on some object
about nine and one-fourth miles
ahead as he walked past the guard.
He was told to halt, but, of course,
he did not do so. He was above it.
Then the guard overhauled him,
and even felt in his pockets, for
his pass, as I supposed. Concealed
on his person the, guard found four
pint bottles filled with the essence
of crime. They poured the poor
man’s rum on the grass and then
fired him out, accompanied by a re
' bukc which will makehim more de
• liberate about sitting down for a
' | week or two.
| Tiie feeling against arduous spirit
I I in the United States navy is cer
! j tainly on the increase, and the day
is not far distant when alchohol in
a free state will only be used in
the arts, sciences, music, literature
and the drama.
The Richmond is a large but
buoyant vessel, painted black. It
has :i front stairway hanging over
the balcony, and the latch-string to
the frost door was hanging cheerily
out as ..e drew alongside. During
an cng.i.gement, however, on the ap
proach oi the enemy the front stairs
are hauled up and the latch string
is pulled in. while the commanding
officer makes the statement, “April
Fool” through a speaking-trumpet
to the chargincd and infuriated foe. i
The Richmond is a veteran of 1
the lat war, a war which no "one
! ever regretted more than I did ; not i
Iso much because of the bloodshed
j and desolation it caused at the time, |
, but on account of the rude remarks
' since in de to those who did not
' i believe in the war, and whose feel
lings have been repeatedly hurt by!
I reference to it since the war closed.
The ; ims of the Richmond are
I muzzle loaders, i. c., the load or
' charge of amunition is put into the
I other or outer end of the gun in
stead of the inner extremity or base
of the gun, as is the case with the
. , :.r< .-ch-’ ‘iid i;. The breech-l<m.dei’
;i .< gr<. . impro enieut < ■ 1' ■ old
style gun, making warfare a cons- j
tant source of delirious joy now,:
whereas in former times in case of I
a naval combat during a severe i
storm, the man who went outside |
the ship to load the gun, while it
was raining,’frequently i
pneumonia.
Modern suns are made with
breeches, which may be easily re
moved during a fight and replaced
when visitors come on board. A
sort of grim humor pervades the
above remark.
The Richmond is about to sail
away to ('hina. I do not know why j
she is going to China but presume j
she docs not care to be here during
the amenities, antipathies and as
persions of a Presidential campaign.
A man-of-war would rather make
sacrifices generally than to get into
trouble.
I must here say I had rather be
captured by our naval officers than
by any other naval officers I have!
overseen. The older ofllcers were
calm and self posessed during my .
visit on board both the Richmond
and the Atlanta, and the young fel
lows are as handsome as a steel en
graving. While gazing on them as
they proudly trod the quarter deck
or any other deck that needed it,
1 was proud of my sex, and I could
not help thinking that had I been
an unprotected but beautiful girl
hostile to the United States. I could
have picked out five or six young i
men there to either of whom I would I
be glad to talk over the details of i
an armistice. I could not help en-;
joying fully my hospitable treat-;
ment by the officers above referred
to after having been only a little
while before rudely repulsed and
most cruelly snubbed by a haughty
voting cotton-stock broker in a
New York store.
When will people ever learn that
the way to have fun with inc is to
treat me for the time being as an
equal?
It was wash day on board ship,
ami 1 could not help noticing how
the tyrant man asserts himself when
he becomes sole boss of the house
hold. The rule onboard a man-of
war is that the first man who on
wash day shall suggest a “pick-up
dinner” shall be loaded into the
the double barrel howitzer and shot
into the bosom of Venus.
On the clothes line 1 noticed very
few frills. The ingerie on board
a war vessel is severe in outline and
almost harsh in detail. Here the
salt breezes search in vain for the
singularly sawed-off and fluently
trimmed toga of our home life.
Here all is changed. From the
basement to the top of the light
ning rod, from pit to dome, as I
was about to say, a belligerent ship
on wash day is not gayly cajiari
soned.
The Atlanta is a fair representa
tive of the modern war vessel and
would be the most effective craft
in the world if she could use her
guns. She has all the modern im
, provements, hot and cold water,
electric lights, handy to depot and
a good view of the ocean, but when
she shoots off her guns they pull
out her circles, abrade her deck,
concuss her rotunda, contuse the
main brace and injure people who
have always been friendly to the
government. Her guns are now
being removed and new circles put
in, so that in the future she will be
enable to give less pain to her
friends and squirt more gloom into
the ranks of the enemy. She is at
present as useful for purposes of
defense as a revolver in the bottom
of a lock-up bureau drawer, the key
of which is in the pocket of yout
wife’s dress in a dark closet, where-
I in also the burglar is, for the nonce
concealed.

PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH.—
i From the Financier, of New J ork]
■ The advancement made by the |
| South during the past few years and
■ her rapidly increasing prosperity,
even when told in sober truth, plain
| and unvarnished, causes a pretty
! heavy strain on the credulity of the
average business man who has no
opportunity to investigate for him
self. Trade and newspapers, through
indulging in exaggeration and dis
torted statements in this regard,
i have dohe that section of the coun
) try real harm. It is easy to make a
I rnan believe that which his oxperi
| once and observation teaches him is
possible, but none of us could have j
been made to believe twenty years
ago that the South could have
reached her present condition in so
short a period. No wonder then
that good men, who do not know
the facts, take it for granted that
i the most moderate statement of the
| actual and present condition and
I progress of the South are made by
“lips puckered to lie for a consider
ation,” as Henry Watterson remark
ed of the high protective tariff men.
Reliable statistics abundantly
prove that the South is going
through a course of healthy and
i permanent development. It has all
that is needed for self-support, both
in agriculture anil minerals and a
vast over-plus for the rest of the
world. Rice, cotton and largely to
bacco, together with naval stores,
in this country belong exclusively
!to the southern latitude and soil.
! Its timbers furnish the very best
! land and marine structural mate
rials. There is not an acre of tim
ber land in the South which is not
constantly increasing in value, and
not an acre of virgin forest which
will not pay a handsome interest on
the investment at present prices.
Capital could go blind-fold any
where and not go amiss.
The same is true as to farm lands.
The greater portion of the soil be
i ing underlaid with clay or stone
may wear or wash, but in every
case can be restored and fertility
perpetuated. The farmers south
of the Ohio river, however, have
yet one lesson to learn, and that is,
to purchase their domestic supplies
and send their unused surplus of all
kinds to those who want them eith
er at home or abroad.
No natural source of wealth is
possessed by the South in greater
abundance, or is being more rapid
ly developed than her minerals.
Iron and coal being prime necessi
ties, have attracted more attention,
and secured more investments than
perhaps anything else. The coal
fields and iron belts of the South
are now pretty well known. Their
extent and richness are unequalled
elsewhere. They are in process of
development, and mainly by south
ern enterprise and southern capital.
I All this is true of the South, and
it L- also true that the remarkable
progress of all these industries has
been the result of the individual en
erixy and enterprise of that region.
Capital from Europe ami the north
ern S.ates has aided to a limited
extent in the progressive develop
ment, but the larger part has been
accomplished bv tin* labor ami en
terprise of the southern people.
Mrs. O'Leary’s Famous Cow
kicked over a lamp, and Chicago,
the bustling young metropolis of
the West, was laid in ruins. This
is a striking illustration of the old
saying that “great results have
I small beginnings.’ The ncglccti d
cold, the hacking cough of today,
may, a few’ months hence, develop
„ into that direst of destroyers, Con
sumption. Be warned in time. Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery,
if taken in the first stages of this
dread disease, is a certain cure. It
is also a sovereign remedy for asth
ma, bronchitis, sore throat, chronic
nasal catarrh, and all diseases of
the respifitory organs.
The cleansing, antiseptic and
healing qualities of Dr. Sage’s Ca
