Obituary. JC1LN JsTUAfiT UU. John Stnart Mill, the eminent English phi losopher and statesman, whose death is an nounced by cable, was bora in Bodney street, Pentonville, London, May 20, the son of James Mill, the author of the “His- tory of India. ” His father was for many years the examiner of Indian correspondence in the East India House, and the son rose from a clerkship in the East India Company’s employ till he wss appointed to succeed his father in 1856. Mr. Mill held this position only two years, retiring when the administration of the company was transferred to the British goy- eminent in 1858. He wss snbaeqnenOy offer- r ed s seat in the Indian Council, bnt declined, 1 and never held any public position except during his short Parliamentary career. Mr. Mill’s position in the East Indie Honse WM'Shfiknenuy political to direct his attention to public affairs, and especially to the great questions which afterward engaged the atten tion of his matnrer years. From 1823, when he entered the East India Company's service, till 1818, when his “Principlesof Political Economy " appeared, the times were exceed ingly stirring. Parliamentary reform was ag itating the whole country, and evoking the most powerful utterances that had ever been heard from statesmen like Brongham. Hassell, Bowring, Grote, Soathwood, Smith, Hume, Herner, Borailiy end Bentham. Bentham was, besides, the friend of his father, and the elder Mill always showed an active sympathy with the work of reform, so that it was natu ral that John Stuart Mill—the future Bayard of English philosophical literature—should unreservedly throw himself into the arms of the progressive party. Mr. Mill's first work was his famous System of logic, published in 1843. This work was characterized at the time as the greatest con tribution to English speculation since Locke's “Essay.” Five years later his great work on the “principles of Political Economy” ap peared. In this work the doctrines of Adam Smith, Hi car do and other leading eoonomists were interpreted in a broad and enlightened spirit Mr. Mill treated in his own luminous way all those questions of surpassing interest to progressive nations, as the laws of pro duction, capital and labor, property, competi tion, slavery, peasant proprietorship, wages, remedies for low wages, profits, rent, value, money, credit paper carrancy, distribution, taxation, etc. Bnt the moat ramarkabla chap- tors are those in which he described the prob able future of the laboring classes. The “Principles” had been preceded by “Eseays on Some Unsettled Questions of Political Economy," pnblisbed in 1844. In this work he discussed national interchange, the influence ol consumption npon produc tion, the meaning of the words “productive” and “unproductive,” “profits” and “interest” and the definition of political economy. Mr. Mill published nothing more till 1859, when his famous “Essay on Liberty” and his “Dissertation on Parliamentary Beform” ap peared. In his “Essay on Liberty” he feel ingly alludes to the lose of his wife, who had been the partner and often the guide of bis lit erary labors, and whose death for a long time clouded with sorrow the sunshine of his do mestic hearth. Bnt hie mind could not long remain nnoccnpied with its favorite pursuits nud his “Considerations on llrpresentative Government" appeared in 1851. “Utilita rianism" in 1862 and “Auguste Comte and Positivism" and “Examinations of Sir 'Wil liam Hamilton's Philosophy” in 1865. In all these works he showed the same broad spirit and comprehensive thought which characterized his earlier productions. At the general election in July, 1865, Mr. Mill was elected to Parliament for Westmin ster. His speeches to his constituents was a tribute to them rather than to himself, for he simply complimented them for acting to gether for the common cause, by which an important victory had been gained, and left the world to praise them because in one in stance, at least, it was found that an English statesman conld attain to a high political of fice without lowering himself to the level of a demagogue or resorting to corrupt means for his elevation. At the next general elec tion, however, he was not returned, the dem agogues getting the better of the high-minded statesman. During the last few years Mr. Mill has been constantly busy with bis pen. He was always au advocate of education in its fullest and widest extent, the political enfranchisement of women, free trade, industrial co-operation, the extension of the franchise and of all meas ures which have for their object the improve ment of the social, moral, intellectual and physical condition of the people. To these subjects he gave renewed attention after his retirement from public life, enunciating bis views in numerous addresses, letters and articles in periodicals. Among his latest con tributions were a series of articles to the Lon- don Examiner oh simplifying the land tenures and abolishing the law of primogeniture. It will he remembered that in 1869 he wrote a letter to the American women suffragists, sympathizing with their cause, and last year he famished the Internationals with a very remarkable communication on the law of revolution. Now that he is dead it is likely that all his scattered writings will be collected together and printed. A friendly pen thus sketches Mr. Mill's first speech in the Honse:—“His thoughts and his arguments were closely packed, and his style, like that of his works, was as crystal. Be stood close to Mr. Bright, and was warmly cheered by that distinguished man. He kept his hands behind him the whole lime, and practised none of the ordinary arts of the era- lor. His voice, though not powerful, is very musical, and is as distinct as a bell. He spoke in the character alike of the politician, the statesman, the philosopher and the philan thropist, and all appeared in his words. He applied himself with the most logical rigor to the subject immediately before him, go- ing scarcely to the right or to the left He opened np new opinions at every turn, and his expression of them was exquisitely precise. The speech proceeding directly from his thought he occasionally stopped in the coarse of it as if to rally; but when he resumed the thread ef his reasoning, he went on with delicions fluency. It was a great pleasure to be there, and particularly te observe how the House appreciated him, and by its anxious attentions—a lull House remaining deeply interested till be had finished—proved its respect for his intellectual gifts and for his sentiments.” General Gordon at Charleston. Daring a recent visit to Charleston, General Gordon was entertained by Bichurd Lathers, In reply to a toast in his honor, General Gordon is reported by the News and Courier at responding as follows: Laducs amd Gxntlemxn — Altheagh I meet many of yon for the first time this evening, I do not feel that I am in the presence of stran gers. These Southern people are united by so many and such peculiar ties, that no cir cumstances of time of distance can make them other than one people. And it is one of the compensating circumstances for the iamities which have befallen us, that our renr disasters and the wrongs we have suffered have only served to bind us the more closely together. My thanks are due for the compliment of this reception by our accom plished and hospitable host, who differed with us in the late war, as well as for that paid by the sentiment just offered. In regard to the first compliment to which I have referred, let me say that I regard it as the evidence of a desire on the part of our host for the speedy restoration of better feel ing between those who have been embittered by the war, and between the different sec tions of this distracted country. This I am sure we all both appreciate and sincerely reciprocate, notwithstanding those unfortu nate circumstances which have tended since the war to increased alienation. You have been pleased in the toast offered by my friend to attribute to me as a soldier more distin guished honor than I can justly claim. Much of whatever has been considered worthy of note in connection with my services in the army is due to the brave men, living and deafi, who, at any hazard, cheerfully executed my commands. To them let the larger share of honor be given You have doubly honored me by you ref erence to what you are so generous as to re gard my present representative character. To merit the tribute you thus pay me, ought certainly to fill to the full measure the virtu ous ambition of any man. Would that my ability equalled my anxiety to relieve from embarrassment this people. I am not with out hope for the future. I do not believe that the people of this great country have abandoned forever those distinctive features of government, of equal, independent States, which were originated by our fathers, and which have impressed themselves upon the characters of the citizen and made ns a dis tinctive people. No people can long be truly a historic people who shall lose their peculiar characteristics. Hence I hope to see the day when all these historic features of the govern ment shall be re-established. Passion, which is always the enemy of wise legislation, is still in the way; but it will be banished by time, and better men will fill public stations, when sectional prejudices no longer enter in to political contests. hen an appeal to sectionul passions shall no loDger be essential to party success; when, in a word, the war shall be considered, as in deed it was, a conflict of theories of govern ment (and this time will come), then will there be genuine peace and co-operation for good government all over the country. Again thanking you ladies and gentlemen, for the great honor you have done me, I offer, in conclusion, a sentiment which I think ac cords with the spirit of the occasion, and which I am sure both our host and ourselves will appreciate. 1 regret that I cannot make the toast more universal in its scope; but I should expect my glass to fall from my grasp if I dishonored the dead of both armies by asking you to honor those who bavG sought since the war to excite a bitterness to which they in life were strangers I offer you “The heroic dead of both armies, who fought for principle and backed their convictions with their lives.” Let both be duly honored. (Applause.) SUMMER RESORTS. DR. J. A. TAYLOR. Of Atlanta, Georgia. DR. R. A. HOOKS, Of Chattanooga, Tenn. Alcibiades De Blanc. New Orleans Herald. This gentleman, who is mentioned as the commander of the party which resisted the invasion of Kellogg’s janizaries in St. Martin parish, has been justly designated the Cheva lier Bayard of Louisiana. No more gallant, sincere and devoted patriot; no higher-toned gentleman, no truer Louisianian lives than this long universally honored native of the Attakapas. Of fine natural gifts, mental and moral, largely cultivated by reading and study, an able jurist and ardent patriot, firm but dig nified in his bearing, inflexible in his resist ance to every form of wrong, dishonesty and oppression, we cannot be surprised that Mr. De Blanc should wield the great influence he does through the Attakapas parishes. Among the creoles which constitute the body of the population in this region, lie has always been looked upon as a leader and chief. ■ Mr. De Blanc was a distinguished officer in the Confederate army, and commanded with marked ability and brilliant personal gallantry ono of the Louisiana regiments thiough the whole of the war. He is not, however, a rash, imprudent or reckless man, who would precip itate a conflict without just cause and provo- ltion. But he is emphatically of that class who know their rights, .and knowing dare maintain them.” A Cat Lost.—A cat relying upon his nine lives to save him, allowed his tail to swell, his spine to curve, and with the “banner cry of freedom” emanating from his jaws, waded in to a bnzz saw in rapid motion. The cat was never seen again, but the boss sawyer, who always stood with his mouth open while at work, remarked to his assistant that he could “taste fiddle strings and sausage meat in the air that morning.” MINERAL HILL.

Br THE Goveknor: JAM EH M. SMITH, Governor. J. W. Wasbkk, Secretary Executive Dept. From the Danbury News. The Country Gentleman suggests a way to prevent a hen from eating their eggs. It is to fill an egg with a solution oi pepper, and put the egg back in the nest A Danbury man has tried this, and says it works like a charm. He put a pretty good dose of pepper in the egg and placed it in the nest of the criminal. Pretty soon the hen same in and took hold. It was a brindle animal with long legs, and somewhat conceited, it dipped in its b 11 and inhaled the delicacy. Then it came ont doors. It didn’t gallop out, we don’t mean, but it came out—came oat to look at the scenery, and see if it was going to rain. Its mouth was wide open, and the feathers on the top of its head stood straight up. Then it commenced to go around the yard like a circus horse. Once in a while it wonld stop and push out one leg in a tone of astonishment, and then cry ‘‘fire,’* and then start on again. The other hens came oat to look on. Soon the hens from the neighbors came over the fence, and took up a position of observation. It was quite evident the performance was something new and unique to them. There is a good deal of human nature in hens. When they saw this hen dance around and have all the fan to itself, and heard it shout * fire,” and couldn’t see the conflagation they _£lkd up with wrath, and of upon it, and before the DanBOPHreoald interfere, tbe brindle hen with the long legs was among the things that were. He says the recipe is effectual. By authority of the foregoing order of Ilia Excellcn- the Governor, I will enter npon the duty assigned me on tbe let day of May next, at Boom Mo. 2C, in tbo Capitol at Atlanta. Persons holding the bil s men tioned must present them to me for examination by the 1st of June next. In the meantime thosejholding bills should advise me by letter at Dalton, Georgia, of the number of each denomination of bills held by them. J. A. R. HANKS, Maucb 28,1873.
