My het letter was from Atlanta from
which point we made several abort trips Inte
the counties of Georgia, lu erder te receive
an Idea or the condition of things, the re
sources je The most Interesting trip,
hew ever, was that ene te Green county, as
the gueat of J. Cenklln Brown, a rcnldontef
Ureonslierough, the county neat, n town of
about 1,000 Inhabitants, en the Ueergla rail
road, Kouie Ml miles east of Atlanta. The
Hicrace growth In a radlua of 100 uitleslnthls
direction, and I may as well say In every
direction from Atlanta, la a natural oak for
eat, mixed with hickory and chestnut, with
plne In te rspersed -en all sldes forests or second
growth pines, which latter lauds were atone
liuiouutler cultivation, but being worn out
were left Idle te grew whatever Provldenco
haw tit te tiermtt, and in the lapse el years te
liecut down iiuil again cultivated as new laud,
almost us fertile as It was when the original
Umber waa cut down. 1 am told that the
HtumH of this se-called second growths will
ret entirely In alieut three years and the
roots can then e ploughed out of the ground.
Strange as It may seem te our people North,
plne
trees cut (town win develop inieacruu
oak, which may truly be called a wonderful
treak of nature. Certainly another Irrnk of
nature is the .Stene mountain, en the line of
the snine read, 10 miles from Atlanta, This
mountain Is a solid mass of a line quality of
granite, of round shape, about M0 teet high
and entirely Inrren, net being as most moun
tains are, covered with growths of every
kind. This alone Is In great Ueniaud for
building purposes and llelgiau blocks.
As I am Just speaking of "freaks of
nature," 1 cannot fail te describe what Is
called the rolling boulder at Lexington, in
Oglelhrepe county. This granite boulder,
poised in between two ethor boulders, Is .'J)
leet high and 30 feet through. It Isogg Isegg

In going through Georgia ene can see hew
dreadfully the lands have been neglected
and hew the unthrifty darkey ruins oery
ucrn lie has under cultivation en " half
shares," by only planting cotton. As may
already tie known by our readers, the farms
lu this country are aomewhat larger that in
Lancaster county, ranging in aim from 00 In
4,000 and S.0O0 acres, and as the Southern
land-owner is in the habit of pacing
lery little personal attontlen te farming,
lie has a large number of negre tenant
scattered all eer his many acres, ler whom
the owner erects a small hut, furnishes a
inula and plow- and the darkey gets se many
acres te put out In cotton "ler half." The
dArkey plants hta cotton, but as he Is always
without means of subsistence, he lu even'
case depends en the owner for his salt perk
and corn meal, and if the owner Is net able
te be the supplyer, then the darkey gees te a
merchant, gives him n share In the crop
which is Just planted as a collateral for the
necessaries of life until the cotton is har
vested. The inercbant, I am Informed,
charges enormous prices for his Hitch and
corn meal, which Is the darkey'senly subsis
tence, se that In almost every case his
account with the merchant la larger than
the value of his half share In 'the
cotton crop. ery often, In this case, the
darkey knows very well that his crop
will net uring wnat no ewes me mercuant,
and consequently he has nothing te leek for
ward te and get the labor te pick the cotton
before him. Mr. Drewn, who 1 geed au
thority, tells me that It Is no rare occurrence
for a darkey who knows he has his account
overdrawn te leave the neighborhood and
the cotton In the Held and the merchant, In
order te save himself, is compelled te have It
icked at his ewu expense. This la the gen
eral condition et labor en the farm in the
Seuth. If the owner Is the possossorofsiilll pessossorofsiilll possessorofsiilll
dent means te supply his darkeys with the
uec ssarles of life, It Is te the advantagoef
both, and the latter generally has a balance
of a few dollars In his favor when the cotton
is sold, because the owner has a hotter
knewledge or the yield, and refuses supplies
that are net absolutely necessary.

Where the owner acts as hlsnwn merchant
he has what Is, as in the days of slavery,
called ration day, once a week, when all his
darkevs will ceme te the Iioiihe of the land
owner and reeele ter each adult In the
lamlly V, pounds of fat meat (perk) and ene
peck of cerumcdl. Fer Uie children he will
get a proportionately smaller quantity per
head. This is the negre's sole depondeuco,
and he docs net wish te live moieextrava meieextrava
gatitly or luxuriantly, for when be has his
weekly rations under his arm te take te his
hut, 1 am told he Is a happy being. 1 was
shown Inside one of these huts, out of curi
osity, and can say it Is a sight te beheld. It
was' J usl neon, and the elder darkeya and the
do7en,er mere Httle darkeys steed around a
table eating their perk and cerntueal with
great relish. Net out of a plate or ether
dishes, hut in the middle of the table steed a
large tin dish anil their fingers did the duty

the benne it he would net prefer te have a

iiii smilingly replied : "I do'ne, messa, 1
nebber eat It, and I don't link It can be

large piece ofcerubread In het fat ana leek a
huge bite. The mode of living et the Southern
darkey, accordingly, makes It evident that
I he whlte man can in no wlae compete with
him In labor and wages, and these circum

This ploeo of Mr. Worner'a is called Karly
Ulll, and has qulte an Interesting history
behind It. It derives Its naine from the
former proprietor, old Joel Karly, brother of
ex-Oovemnr Karly, of (loerglo, and who was
known nvernll the Seuth for his phllan phllan
threphy and klndness te his alaves, of
whom he had 300. Several, though very
old, are vet In Ihe employ of Mr. worner.
It was Mr. Karly's dosire tolreo his slaves,
but the old state alave laws of theso days,
(alieut 40 years age) forbade the alavo alave alavo
heldora te glve freedem te Ills slaves, and let
them run at random, unless he shlpped thorn
out of llie state. Se toevado the law, Joel
Karly decided te colonize bis negrees In
Liberia, at bis ewu ex(iene, and one day be
called the whele :ux slaves te his slde
lu front of the mansion and taking his cune
he drew a line In the ground saying : "New,
whoevor of you want ireodem cress that line
and you are free." Only about one half
crossed the line and these Master Karly agreexl
tocelonlro In Liberia, but wheu the darkeys
came te beard the vohheI and saw the great
body of water all but 39 returned home with
their old master lu preference te crossing the
ocean, of which they Heemed te have great
fear. Mr. Karly discovered later that the
whele 30 darkles died in Liberia In a short
time, as the climate and mnde of living was
mere than they could stand.
Mr. Wonier tweerted me te what may be
called a typical Southern kitchen, wliore
were found three female darkeys, ene of
whom was a very old woman, between
W) ami 100 yairs of age, and who was
addressed as Cassle. "New, Cassle," said
Mr. W., "tell this gentleman something
about the war and the tlme Master Karly
gae your brothers freedom." "Oh! Ma.s.
Werner, I remember that 'big' water, and
hew they all died, and massa. you knew I
don't want te sjieak of dat dreadlul time.
Hut geed old Mass.i Joel Karly he's gene, an'
se'd de mes' ef'm, ami old Cassle Karly will

but she seemed much atlbcted by the men
Hening of old Master Karly's name.

Mr. Werner has about 1M) darkeys, old and
young, employed en his place, and as he is a
man of means, acts as his own merchant, and
has ration day once a week, and makes his
darkeys happy Just se oflen. Says Mr.
W. : "My darkeys generally get a balance
when the crop is sold, but they are
the most peculiar poeplo you ever saw, and
as seen as they get held et a dollar they go te

Since the Keplor lire and In view of the
disastrous results and still morn disastrous
possibilities or it, thore has been a great deal
of popular discussion about the condition of
the local lire ilepirtment. Wblle thore
seems te be tie varlanre of opinion that the
present chief lacks skill and oxecutlve capa
city for his place, the goneral condition or
the department Is net such as te be assuring
te theso who ropeso for the protection or the
property in the city upon the lire depart
ment. The flre committee, the councils generally
and all publlc-vplrtled citizens are called
upon te glve heed te these deficiencies, and
te take sotne practical moasures te re
pair thorn ami ler the botter protection or the
many millions of dollars worth or property
hore, which Is exposed te peril by the weak
ness et the department.
Kverybedy recognizes that disastrous as
the late fire was and conspicuously bad as
was llioiuanagementof It, unfavorable con
ditions readily te be Imagined might have
made It vastly worse. Had the ondangeroil
postefllco building taken lire as was
threatened ; had the (I rape hotel caught
lire; had the high winds of the previous week
been blowing; had anotber lire occurring
simultaneously In nema ether part of the
city withdrawn an engine Ireiu the spot, the
disasters llkely te eccurcsii hardly be meas
ured. It is easy te soe that the very heart of
the city would have been burned out, and
millions would have counted the less which
Is new estimated by tens of thousands.

A run around te the various engine heiK.es
of the city, by n representative or the In
Ti'.t.i.ttiKNCKH te-day, disclosed seme strik
ing facts te which the lire committee and
otner ceuncilmeu need te glve prompt atten
tion ; and which are especially te bd con
sidered before the tire department appropri
ations for the coming year are fixed.
At Ne. 2 ou Seuth Queen street, a bad
state et things was disclosed. The engine Is
broken and the essential pieces of It are lying
en the Meer. His entirely unlit for line and

lieen made and se far as this company gees
the city has only three englnes.
Drlier Johnny l'etts has been laid en" for
skylarking aud .lac. Koller Is In his
place. The hose cart has been sent
up te tiie hill, te Ne. 1, ler Its use, while that
company's cart is lying all apart in Kdger Kdger
ley's shop, for rebuilding aud repainting.
At the Ne. 2 house the cart home is sick, and
lu Its stalls are two Ne. 3 horses, which de
net work tegether and which have been ex
changed for the present for the regular Ne.
2's horses, l'er all practical purposes there
might as well be no company in the South
ern part of the city, and for all the lire com
mittee Is doing this state nl atlairs premises
te continue indefinitely.
At Ne. 3 everything seems te be in geed
condition, slueethe company borrowed the
Ne. 2 horses.
At Ne. 4 ene of the engine horses Is In
bad condition from spavin ; the wheels of the
engine are bad and liable te break down en
the way te any lire.
At Ne. 1, where the new ClappA Jenes
engine is stationed, there was found no liose
cart. As stated aboelho company's regu
lar "green" cart Is lying In pleces iii Kdgor Kdger
ley's shop ; the leaned cart of Ne. 2, bail te
be seut te the shop for repairs, the tires being
found te lie loose. The new engine weighs
ever half a ten mom than the old machine
and the company's horses are entirely tee
light for It. The grate of the engine, liurned
out the first night It was In sorvlce, lias been
replaced.
li vm. i mrrt.i.n.
As It stands new, at neon te-day, the city
had two geed engines In sorvice, ene lua very
shaky condition and ene in pieces ; two bose
carts available for use and a truck ; four horses
crlppled and two tee light for their work.
I IKiu one thing we lind all the tlreinen
of the city agreed and no variance of opinion
among thesu familiar with the needs el' the
dopartmenU This is that fvery Aeimc nd
company flieuhl have, an additional man te
be ttattened there permanently. There are
new only two drlvers; at meal tlme, ene
making in all Mx hours everyday when the
city is ex pesed te great peril because of the
Impossibility of getting mero than one
machine at a time te a tire. This In
crease would cost less than two thou theu
aand dollars per year. The estimated expen
ditures ler next year have an Item of (I2,8TiU
for " contingencies." Out of this, at least,
could be made prevision for this imiertant
matter. Noglect of It is criminal.
Anether needed Improvement is a heater
connection In every heuse te enable the
englnes te get up steam mero quickly.
Kngincer Andersen, at Ne. 1, is putting up
such a contrivance at his own expense, se
that that ongiue will always have from fi te
le pounds el steam en hand. This should be
secured ler every house.
The present alarm bells are tee foeblo In
sound. It was a great mistake te dispense
with the old Kinplre bell which was beard In
every jurt of the city. The new bells are
weaic in tone, anu ue nei even arouse me
beseiuen nor Indicate the direction of the tire
te anybody except these In thelr Immediate
neighborhood. ThomenofNo. ipaytirivate
watchmen N) cents n month out of their
scanty ft. hi allowance te wake them up.
The department noeds a supply wageu, te
carry coal and hose. Neither engine nor Its
cart carries coal te last mero than hall an
hour, and where they have a long run they
are compelled te take thelr men away Ireiu
the fire and send thorn te the hose heuse
with the bose cart for coal.
This hose cart only holds a small quantity
of coal and they aru frequently compelled te
make soteral trips, lr they hud a supply
wagon, which could be purchased for alieut
flMl.lt could be kept in one et the houses and
leaded with suiucieni coat te supply an me
englnes and handled bv one man who could
be sent with one horse tack Ireiu the lire.
Some of the men complain that they nre
net even supplied with combs and brushes
te clean their horses.
At the tire the need of the additional driver
te attend te the hert,esand de ether work Is
very plain. The whole equipment is very
scant.
If we are In have a lire iloiuitmeut it must
lie strengthened at ence. The most presslug
necessity is for the third man at the limine.
He can be economically provided. The pres
ent tire committee does net seem te be ofll efll

lretn the sheet en the right band aide, adja
cent te the said marginal Hap, Is an ordinary
shaped envelope llap, which is also gummed
as they usually are, and you have a lair Idea
or what the Clegg combined lotter-sheot and
envelope Is.
Having written a letter upon ene of these
sheets the writer simply turns down the top,
or marginal llap, then turn up the lower half
of the sheet te meet It ; thereafter be folds the
letter ence mero lengthwise, when be has a
perfectly formed envelope. He need, then,
first, only te moisten bait of the said marginal
llap, clese It, and thereby cemplete the enve
lope, if deslred, insert lnclesures and seal
the envolepo llap, as usual with all envelopes.
Although the invention is of very recent
date It has been carried te a high state of
perfection from the new and Improved
machinery and is continually receiving the
Indersement of many prominent business
firms; besides It having been (highly) In
dorsed "as the best" by the United States
postefllco department at Washington.
The lNTni.r.Hii:,scKit elllce Is the sole
Lancaster agent for this Invention ; and the
rates nllerea elsowbere for the combination
device in blank will enable customers te
have thelr paper printed tastefully, and yet
have the enclosure, cover and all cheaper,
handsomer and mero convemont than the
old onvelepo system.
Its many advantages are apparent, two of
the most conspicuous of these belng the tact
that the postmarks are always found en the
back el the letter Bheet Itself, thus furnishing
proof of date of mailing and delivery, which
are se frequently lest by the destruction of
the envelepe el te-day. The ether apparent
advantage Is that III opening the letter
properly no harm cau lollew te any lnclo lncle
sures therein ; also, the onvelepo being de
stroyed In epeulng it, nothing within it cau
be lest sight of. It also, as will be seen,
saves the cost and waste of thousands
of tens or paper made up into envelopes
annually; besides, their cost of mall trans trans
iKirtlen being saved. The letter sheet may
Le of any size, the deuble sheets needing
only the same folding, ylz., twice. They are
furnished In pads also, ler convenient ute,
just as the business paper of te-day Is put
up. Bill heads, statements and ether busi
ness sheets are made in the same way, and It
is the net unreasonable belief el the manu
facturer that tbe Invention has sounded the
knell ler the downfall of the unnecessary en en en
veeoeo of the porled.

As will Iki seen by the abeve figures the

nearly KOO.OOO during the year. In the
First ward the increase was t54,9S8, and
in the Second t72,O0L In tbe Fourth
ward the Increase was J45.690, and In
the Third the Increase was less than
$10,00). In this ward there was no building
or any ceusquence. In the Firth ward a large
number of houses were erected, but the in
crease In value of real estate Is only $3,313.
In the Sixth ward where there were also many
buildings orected, the Increase lsF72,G01, and
In the Ninth ward the increase is $70,331. In
the Seventh ward the Increase was a little
ever 57,000, and In tbe Eighth ward, $M,823.
A great contrast la presented between the
money at Interest In ISS5 and 1880, and the
greatest dillerence Is In the First ward, where
in 18S5 the amount returned te the assessor
was 811,280, while this year tbe amount as
sessed Is 1813,4 13,
In the Second ward theameunt Is mero than
doubled, and in the Third ward there are
seven times as much returned as in lSSTi. In
the Fourth ward where only $28,100 was re
turned last year, this year the amount is
J40C,241. Seventeen times as much
money is returued in 1886 as in 1S8T1 from
the Firth ward. The Sixth ward docs
net show se large an Increase but returns
ever lour times as much as In 1885. In the
Seventh ward the increase is only 118,000,
but in the Klghth ward twenty times as
much are returned this year. In the Ninth
ward where the return was only trilling In
1885 $1,450, the amount Is Increased about
seventy-live times and the assessor in that
ward leund $103,313 at interest.
The nbevs figures are subject te change en
the days of appeal, when theso having
grievances will complain te the county com
missioners, and if their complaints are Just
the commissioners will adjust the same.
UNCLE T03fH CABIN.
The Same Old Play That Never Seems te
Lese Ita Popularity.
Last night the never-glve-up drama of
"U ncle Tem's Cabin" was played In the opera
house by a troupe under the management of
a man named Peck. It was advertised as
Abbey's company, but no man of that name
lias anything te de with It. The audience
was large down stairs, but there were net
fifty persons in the gallery. The reason for
tills was that the patrons ei the latter part of
the heuse bad ether attractions which thev
could attend at cheaper rates, Down stairs
were seen people who seem te have attended
every performance et this drama given in this
city for many years. It would be very difficult
for any ene te ascertain hew often this
piece has been played in Lancaster, but it is
certalu that it has been seen in the bands of
all kinds or queer companies. Sam Sanferd
and old Jim Ward have given it with troupes
of a dozen peeple aud Jarret A Palmer have
played it with fifty. It matters very little
what kind of a party appears In the piece, as
It Is almost sure te draw large beuses in Lan
caster. Many people can yet be found te cry
at the death ei AVa and the sufferings or
Uncle Tem, and last night numbers ei them
were seen with iresbets in tbulr eyes.
The company which occupied tbe opera
heuse last night was about up te the average.
They were no better than the majority of
tuoseiiiai wrestie wim " uncie Tem," anu
they could net be werse than many that bave
been seen here. About the best person
In the show was Little Florence, who
played the part or Kva. She was the small
est child ever seen hore in the part, but she
did her work well, Introducing several songs.
This was the first time that the little girl bad
taken the part, and it became necessary last
evening, the former J!va being compelled te
play one of the 7'epsyt. There were two
Marl.., but the men playing the parts kuew
little about acting and tried In vain te be
tunny. One Tops; was fair, but there was
ene tee many In the company. Tbe same
man played the characters et Geerge Harris,
St. Cla ir, and no ene knows be wjm ny ethers.
Miss Wells was very bad en Aunt Ophelia.
The Jubllee singers rendered several songs
fairly. Although the names et thirty people
were seeu en the house-bills there was net
mere than fifteen en the stage Twe brass
bauds were in the street parade yestor yester
day, but only four musicians appeared lu the
orchestra last night aud their uiusle was hor
rible. The bleed-hounds are net at all fierce-
looking, the pony was very pretty and the
donkey amused the audience greatly at
times by braying behind the scenes. The
show will appear at dlflereut towns lu this
county and will no doubt draw largely as it
Is up te the standard.
TUB BIRD ailOOTBHS,
The Hill Campb.ll Match at Heading I'rejf. a
nig rinle.
The sheeting match between Jake Hill,

near Reading yesterday. The match was
for (250 a side, each te sheet at DO birds at 25
yards rise. The wind wes favorable, birds
geed and Hill the laverlte In the betting.
The match proved a lizzie. Campbell
trappetF for Hill by agreement and the
former had his own trapper. Hill's friends
claimed that Campbell was doing unfair
work in trapping the birds. When Hill missed
the uiuth bird that he shot at Campbell
by that time having shot at ten
birds and missed two, the referee
stepped forward and examined the bird
in tue trap, iieieunu it witn injured tees
aim uacK, anu a strong smell ei en or pepper
mint pervading it. It was chawed that the
bird had betn crlppled te lmpede its flight,
and tbe match was declared oil by the referee,
who ordered Campbell's arrest en the charge
of cruelty te animals. Constable Malz ar
rested ill in and Alderman Hell, before whom
Campbell was taken, fixed upon this even
ing at half-past seven o'clock for a hearing.

A PLAN POU A JAIL.
A Lancaster Builder and Architect Uai Seme
Idea, for the New Structure.
Jehn Evans, the voteran architect, who
planned and erected some of the best build
ings In this city and vicinity, Including the
county almshouse, said le be the best In the
state, has for years been evolving a new style
of prisons entirely unlike any ethers uew In
exlstonce. Having completed bis plan, be
has had it copyrighted, and placed a sketch
of thogieund plan and alsea sectional view
of tbe proposed structure In the bauds or tbe
county commissioners.
Tbe proposed prison is te be circular in
form, and bes lntersectlngcorriders running
through Its diameters, lu the centre of the
great circle of cells, of which there are te be
1G0 en each fleer, arranged back te back aud
lighted lretn the outer walls, Is te be erected
a large square building te be used as tbe
laundry and cooking department In this
building is also te be placed the steam beat
ing apparatus. Projecting inward from tbe
inner circle el cells, are four buildings te be
used as shops, and projecting outwards trem
the outer circle are four similar buildings.
The admlnlstratlve department of the
prison will occupy buildings In front of, and
detached from the prison proper.
Mr. Evans furnishes ue detailed plan of
the material te be used, nor of the front ele
vation ; or probable cost et the prison, but In
a brier description accompanying his ground
pian ue says ;
"The diameter or the circle Is 3S0 leet,
made by 4S tangents or straight lines mak
ing 100 cells, or 2S0 en two floors 9 by 15
feet each. Tbe cells are placed back te back,
and lighted from outer walls. The corridors
are 15 feet wide. The fronts of cells are
cien Iren work, partly glazed with ham
mered plate. The galleries and stairways
au Iren. The centre square building Is
covered with an Iren tank for water supply.
All of the structures are te be tire proof.
Every part ventilated and heated by steam."
Pugh Au.wer. Kdmauda.
In the Senate, en Wodnesday, ou the sub
ject of tbe Senate's power te call upon the
president for papers concerning suspended
officials and new appointees, Mr. Pugh said
be bad expressed bis views fully upon the
subject In a report made from the judiciary
committee by the minority, and the main
object he had In addressing tbe Senate in
reply te the senator lrem ' erment waa te
prevent, If It waa in bis pewer te de se,
which be admitted was a difficult under
taking, te prevent the senator from changing
the character of the question between tbe
Senate and the president. The real character
of that controversy could net be misunder
stood or misrepresented, as it bad arlseu upon
facts apparent upon the record and reported
by the majority ei the Judiciary committee.
The Senate was encaged in an inquiry about
a matter trout which thore could be ue
possible practical result It was a meet
question merely, and the Senate was turned
into a meet court te discuss a purely abstract
propesitiou.

the Gladstone I'regraninir.
Londen, March II. Notwithstanding iia
feverish deulals of Lord Randelph Churchill,
tbe evidence that the late Conservative gev
eminent did at one tlme seriously contain
plate granting some measure or home rule te
Ireland centinues te accumulate. The latest
and most significant ploce of evidence Is the
fact which has Just lieen ascertained, that Sir
Rebert G. C. Hamilton, under socretary ler
Ireland In Lord Salisbury's goverment, did,
at the order et cblet secretary, Sir Wm. Hart
Dyke, prepared and submit te the cabinet a
bill for the establishment or an Irish Pari In In
meut te be held at Dublin. Tba
draft of this bill, It Is new known,
was under consideration by the cabin
net at the tlme when Lord Salisbury was
overthrown en the land allotment question.
It previded for a single chamber Parliament
of 300 members, chosen by the existing body
or electors, te have legislative control ever
all strictly Irish affairs with the exception or
Imperial taxes, excise, Internal revenue, cus
toms duties and military, naval and pc pc
Hce expenditures. Thus far tbe acbame
was very similar te that which Mr. Gladstone
is believed te favor, but the Hamllteu bill
proposed te give the imperial Parliament an
absolute power of veto ever all enactments of
the Dublin legislature. Mr. Gladstone, ou
the ether band, proposes te closely restrict
the veto power and te exempt a large claw of
bills from being sent te Wostmlnster for any
form of review.
