A man who can invent a fuel, a substi
tute for coal or wood," has an immense
fortune before him, besides ho would
receive the blessings of a suffering people.
This cold weather has suggested this idea
to my massive and ever active brain, and
I throw it out "free gratis for nothing" in
the hope that it may meet the ee of some
sage deeply versed in nature's mysteries
and be evolved into practical solution.
Who can say in this age of wondrous in
ventions that something of the kind
cannot be produced from the hidden
mysteries of nature's storehouse ?
The extreme cold weather is having its
effect on the cattle, especially those that
are poorly sheltered. Your correspond

opinion that it is a sin to keep more stock
than can be properly sheltered aud fed in
winter, as some people are accustomed
to do in this country.

supposed that he committed suicide, and
the coroner's jury brought in a verdict to
that effept....T. J. Leon, who was ar
rested for obtaining money under false
pretenses, was brought before Justice

By advice of counsel, Mr. Leon waived

which it is advertised to assume. But
when 1,000,000, or 100,000, or 10,000,
Southern colored people pack up for
emigration from this country of their
emancipation, in this year of our Lord
1888, we shall believe that the thraldom
of Bourbonism has finally transcended the
sufferable, and that the new South is no
better than the old, blind to her owa
welfare and doubly manacled to her most
imperious idols. Inter Ocean.
The French papers are full of chaff
because on Madame Patti's departure
from Paris the railroad employees took
no notice of her. She had to run to get
a ticket for her little dog, and was gen
erally neglected on account of Quen
Isabella absorbing all, the attention.
The carriage in which the queen traveled
caught fire, and she was transferred to the
salon of Madame Patti, which Nicolini is
said to have considered an intrusion, com
plaining bitterly that the personnel should
have made so much more of Queen
Isabella than of Madame Nicolini. "But,'
said the chef du train "this is the mother
of the late king and the grandmother of
the. present king." "What of that?"
Nicolini' is alleged- to have replied.
"Madame Patti is a queen, too. She is
the queen of song."
The invitation to Mr. Carlisle to speak
in Georgia has aroused the protection
democrats in that state to the necessity of
combating the efforts of the free-traders.
From this time on then, the contest
between these two factions of the Georgia
democracy will probably be an earnest
and possibly a bitter one. The first real
test will be the election of Senator Col
quitt's successor. Senator Colquitt's
advocacy of the revenue policy favored
by 3Ir. Cleveland has aroused a strong
opposition to his reelection. Some of the
most influential democratic papers in the
state have declared against him already.
An indication of the strength of the pro
tection sentiment among democrats ia seen
in the failure of the attempt to make Mr.
Carlisle the guest of the democratic ex
ecutive committee of Bibb county. The
question of protection to home industries
is destined to rend the Georgia democracy
in twain, the only doubt being how soon
the split will come. Gazette-Journal.
