They want good draft horses to plow and draw wagons, they want good mules, and v it is very well to offer every encouragement to this branch of improvement. But horse- •• racing, jockeying, and betting, aro not the * \ 0 means to tho end. Then the “tourna- \ucnt” is an absolute monstrosity. A tew young men, dressed as mniners, without tho least conception of what a tournament means, bestride nones and gallop a given dis- _ japee in a prescribed time, making frantic ef- . fort* to ent off \ro...leii heads and carry off suspended rings with a sword, and he who > Sits. .Itr rtlost heads and carries away most Mr. Chairman aud FtCitizens? A few. years ago the Georgian who would publicly dis cuss the current issues of tho day, labored under some very peculiar disadvantages. As a citizen of the United States ho was guaran teed the right of free opinion and free speech; bur as a citizen of Georgia these inestimable prerogatives of a free citizen were to be held in strict subordination to a uris-directed pub lic sentiment. It was a sentiment wjv.-d r.n Institution upon 'wl originally predicated, and which w Jv substituted Prejudice for Slavery was, indeed, no more. 1 down amid the relics of a past decade, never to bo resurrected. That fact was universally conceded. No ona even professed a desire to see it restored; yet tho popular complaint was, that tho Government sought to substitute for a fundamental law recognizing slavery a new constitution providing for its abolishment! The colored man was indeed no longer a chat tel; he was no longer a piece of personal pronto#’ at the absolute disposal of a fellow- mauche was, ass freeman, responsible to no undivided master, but, like other freemen, was amenable only to the government claiming his natural and undivided allegiance. This was, I think, universally admitted even in Georgia five years ago; and yet so tenacious of its prejudices was that ‘•conservatism," which still lingered over the memories of the past, that it denied to the colored man his natural prerogative of citizenship, whilst it fully conceded his liberation from vassalage. He was, according to the singular “con servatism" of that day, neither slava or freeman, neither alien or citizen, neither freeman or bondsman, neither barbarian or Christian, a sort of cross between a denizen and a native citizen, and yet without the rights and privileges of either! To advocate the recognition of his civil rights as a citizen of a SUte, to ask a re cognition of his right of action or testimony . v • -w . -a “ _i il. before a civil tribunal, was to incur the odium of a false, but by no means impotent, public- public sentiment representing }\ltat the ruling doss, and pred- he dogma of the natural inequal- “ ‘' ih has no Slavery, iliahed, and icated upon the ity of oil meg. T1 better fouP which it dl no better argument than the assumption that this is “a white man’s government,* was an- tagonistical to Bepnblicon principles. Im partial suffrage was not then within the range of current political discussion in Georgia— Holding him to bo disqualified for the elective fmncbwn by reason of his ignorance, it was equally the policy of tho •■conservative’’ or “bemocratio" party to keep him so, by de priving him of the means of education and of all the opportunities for advancement. Closely allied to this was another issue, which, like this, grew out of tho result* of the war. I allude, of oouree, to the dogma of State Sovereignty, as it was then arrayed ngainst the policy of the General Government on the question of Deconstruction. Profess ing. by their baths of allegiance, to have aban doned tVin “Dost Cause,” our 1 doned the “Lost Cause," our Democratic friends, nevertheless, denied the right of the Federal Congress to prescribe a Constitution of State Government that would conform to the Constitution and laws of the United states. Professing adhesion to the Federal Constitu tion, they at tho same time Ignored that por tion of it which makes a two-thirds vote of Congress the supreme law of the land; and professing an mental principles of sought to sustain the i __ essayed to combine the p live with those of tho Lc of the government AU lion of that Constitution for beaten track. Governor Bullock, ns the recognised head of the Republican party in Georgia, was a convenient target for all these opposing elements; and what argu ment, and ridicule, and misrepresentation, and abuse, could not accomplish, was sought to be effected through the bad faith and treachery of those whom, in an evil hour, the Republican party embraced and entrusted with its confidence. Bat for the firm and manly stand of Governor Bullock, after tho expulsion of the colored members in 1868, the condition of Georgia to-day would doubtless have been even vroreo than that of 18CG. There is no disguising tho fact that the frniu of tho victory ol April, 1868, were im periled in 'September of the same year, and this through the treachery of persons claim ing to be Republicans, bnt who, la fact, were only Republicans to the extent of the patron age received from the party. Professing to adhere to tho great Republican party of the Nation, and to support the ticket of the party for President and Vice President, they, at the rihgK„is the “successful knight" and crowns the Queen Vf Love * and Bounty, and all this “to promote the interests of agriculture and the mceliauio arts.” Almost invariably some one of these foolish youths is either killed outright or maimed for lifo in his efforts to ex cel At Macon, last year, a young man was thrown and seriously injured, and here on Saturday another named Kenny, had bis shall fractured and peck broken—killed on the spot As well might an agricultural society offer prises for tiglit-ropo or wire ascensions, ala Biondin, ssfor these so-called tourna ments.

Three important eases are to come up early in the December term of the United States no Court The first involves the eonsti- fessed so great reverence. Claiming for them selves the right of free speaefa, even as against the constructive obligations of their oaths of allegiance, these defeated and maddened political leaders justified the existence of a lo ad terrorism that made social ostracism or personal violence the sure penalty of a free expression of opinion. Men who, before the war, honestly entertained and fearlessly ex pressed the Opinion that tbe dogma of local sovereignty was nutagoniatiea! to tot teachings of the founders of the great republic, and who therefore claimed for the General Government tho ultimate allegiance of the citizen, now either spoke in bated breath, or stop weakly yielded to the prejudices engendered by e cause less and nnsnccessfnl revolution. They acted with those leaders who sought to re-establish tho issues of 1860; and this in contempt oi their own better judgment Nor was this ex ceptional. Thousands of onr very best men in Georgia were gnilty of this weakness. They had opposed the war of secession inaugurated by Democratic politicians for the perpetua tion of a party dynasty; they had denonneed the Charleston Convention as a treasonable body, and held up Its leaders to the execra- tion of the public; end yet, when the fighting commeuefa, they very naturally submitted their better judgment to an impulse, and took up arms in defenso of their native section, whilst their judgment condemned the octiou of those who preoipiiated the struggle, and these men it is needless to say, made tho ablest and beat soldiers tho Southern Con federacy ever bad. Iu this way did the people uf the State, irrespective of post differences, become assimi lated in nympatby, and in tho fallacious glories of a cause originating in antagonism to tho laws and government of tho United Stotts. It was under these circumstances that tho Re publican party of Georgia was first organized. It was organized at a tease meeting called in tho city of Atlanta, July 4th, 1867; aud it was tuy privilege to preside at that meeting! I shall never forget how unpromising were the prospects of onr infant organization at that time. Those who, tike Nieodomus of old, wonld cone to ns by night, ss it were, and profess adhesion to the principles which we iromulgatcd, wonld sooner have put their ends in the fire than openly profess what they rerdfy Wieced to be the only wise and tone policy; to-wit, the checrfnl acceptance of tho plan of reconstruction based Jon those broad principles of BepnblicanismjHvhicb to day stand endorsed by nn overwhelming ma jority of the American people. Relinking that the principles wet_~right, we boldly pro claimed our purpose to adhere to them until we should tea them trinmphant^n Georgia. Tho struggle was flereo indeed. It was in very truth “a time to towmea’a souls." In the fonguagp of n disJOSBished statesman, “it was a ^rrible time I™ timid men; aud many of our ■adherents found it necessary to elect between forfeiture or their social position and the abandonment of their honest political convictions. Others found U necessary either to recant their political opinions, to walk the land with scaled lipe nr d^e seek a residence beyond the limits of the State. Ultimately, however, the triumph came. A new Constitution wns framed, wherein is re cognised the Civil and Fotitical Banality of all men. A Relief end Homestead meostfre was adopted whereby the tittle that was left to the people of the State by the democratic war of disintegration, was secured to them. A system of Publib Instruction was provided, whereby it was sought to place the means of acquiring a plain English education within the reach of every one, however Ttpmble.— That barhorous relic of a feudal ago, known as the eq. so. lijw, or imprisonment for debt, was abolished.’ TboJ ofher twin rplip of tho ©ark Ages, the public whipping post, was likewise abolished. Every man in the State was mode equal before the law, aud at the ballot, to every other man. All stood alike unchalleng ed as litigants or electors; and these rights carried with them tho farther right to vote for whomsoever they choose, be the candidate white or black, native or foreign born. In n word, the Republican Constitution of 1868, sought to emancipate alike the poor black man and the poor white man, add to give each an equalonpottomitor with the, privileged phgst, of acquiring and adorning a citizenship in Georgia. After this emancipation of the masses of both races, it was no longer a crime against jxjlitical orthodaxy for a man to think and act for himself!

Those Democrats who, from on early ed ucation, honestly believed tho reconstruction policy of Congress to coniiict with the princi ples of constitutional liberty, who seek not to nullify or to revolutionize the governments set np ir.’virtue thereof—all such can now very consistently act with the Republican party in tho present canvass. Democrats! I put to you tho question plainly: Are you in favor, to day, of accepting tho present Cqjstitution of the United States, embracing, as it does, tho XIYtli and XYtli Amendments, ns the tone Constitution ? Aro yon in favor of unqualified acquiescence In, and obedience to, the laws of down tho other.’ Ono has not been pulled I tho United States touckingthe question of Ro- down to the level of tho other, but the other has been lifted np to the altitnde of citizen ship without disparagement of the rights of any. My friends, wo claim these as the legitimate results of the triumph of the principles of the great Republican party of tbe United States. It is but a realization of those great principles, I ,public. , mlgated by the founders of the ltcp Je-quarters of a century ago. The contest between popular liberty, and its antagonist, which has sometimes assumed ono name and sometimes another, bnt whose last qognomen was that of -‘Democracy," has beendohg and fearful. But the cause of tho- people tri umphed over all opposition in tli-, election of Gen. Grant to the I’rcsidepcy-; of the United States in 1868, and in that-election, the en dorsement and confirmation of tho reconstruc tion policy of Congress, under which onr State Government was established. The Republicans of tho United States have a worthy and able representative head in the administration of Gen. Grant; the Republi cans of Georgia, in that of Governor Bollock. Both administrations stand endorsed by the people; that of Gen. Grant has been more than endorsed in tho result of the late elec tions in tho Northern States. That of Gov ernor Bullock, by the acts of tho Representa tives of tho people, recently assembled in their legislative capacity. The administration of Gen. Grant sUndsforth conspicuously for its action and economy; for its faithful collection and return of the public revenue; for its faithful and rapid payment of the public debt; for its scru pulous adhesion to the great principles of free government, and for its judicious foreign policy. That of ! Governor Bollock is conspicuous os the first Republican ad ministration in the State. It is conspicuous for its instrumentality in utilizing those great principles of political and civil equality which give all men an equal chance before tho law, and places all at on equal advantage (so far os practicable) in the great bottle oflife. The unexampled material property of the State, under this administration, is itself au e loquent enloginm upon its ability, and its integrity. Never did a State administration come into power under circumstances so tittle calculated to make it popular with the people. It was its province to enforce a new Constitution of Government; to execute now, and, to ns, novel legislation. It therefore had to encounter the opposition, not only of all the old Bour bon leaders, who aaw too plainly, the hand writing upon tbe wall, but likewise tho oppo sition of a large and respectable class of men. whp.oppose anything that is above or beyond same time, became convenient al|ie* |ff-the Georgia Democracy in nullifying _ stoaction acts and in preventing Urc tqtora- tion of the Union in accordance tkflffiftk. Professing to oppose what is known now as “Andy Johnson’s policy" ot reconstruction, they nevertheless sought to reinstate those who, in 1866, disdainfully refused to entertain, much loss to ratify, the 14th article of the Constitutional Amendment; and when Gov ernor Bullock, in accordance with the cz- pressed wishes of the Republican party of the Bute, and tn accordance with tore until* oral intent of the reconstruction laws of Congress, appealed to Congress in the interest of tho loyal people of the State, for the enforcement of the laws; when he sought a re-organization of the Legislature in accordance with the pro visions of tbe General Government, he was as bitterly assailed by these decoy leaders of the Democratic party as by the old Bourbon lead- selves iu the ranks of the Democratic party. They did not believe, perhaps, that Congress was, after all, iu earnest in its reconstruction policy. They seemed to have tbe impression that the Government of the United States wonld ultimately yield the point to those Dem ocratic politicians who controlled tho State in 1866. And, hence, while they professed to he Republicans^ they seemed to wgj^hc name only for tlanfuirposo »f the meri^E-clnany serving tfl|l who oppoaedMgflrcrnction from its earliest inception ujWWiKt time.— They even proceeded to organize a self-styled Central Committee, composed of persons who were opposed to Congressional interference, after tbe expulsion of tho oolored members.— They denied the truth of the proposition that tho Constitution of tho Stato conferred upon the black man the right to hold offioe, and, .with an effronfry unequalled in any age or country, sought to make it npper.r abroad that they (an inconsiderable taction) were Oit Republican party of the Stato ! Whilst the aeta and mo tives of these men were well understood in Georgia, there was, at «uo time, considerable misapprehension of tiro facts at Washington. Of coarse it went abroad ’tljst the Republican party of the state was divided; that the ad ministration only embraced .a faction of tho party in the State; that it souglifn reorgani zation of the Legislature only Jor selfish and unworty ends, and tiiat those who were op posed to the administration were the only honest men in the party! All that, however, was soon corrected by time. It soon became kuotyn that tho Republicans of the State, almost to a man, stood by the Administration, S d when tho Act of December 2d, 1869, bo rne a law, the battle was transferred from Washington to Atlanta. Here the opposition of 1866,1867 qnc( 1868, marshaled their forces for the lost terrible conflict. It was to be the last act in thedrama<of reconstruction. And, to strengthen "their forces and give plan- ibility to theft claim of obedience to law, aey selected ah their candidate for Speaker, at the re-or^knization, a man who had previ ously passed as a Republican,-but who had re cently loaned Jimself as an instrument io the tained Governor Bullock in his efforts at Washington now sustained him in iris (efforts to excoote the laws of Congress. A. reorgani zation was had, and, for the first time'in the history of Georgia, was legislation commenced in accordance with the requirements of the new Constitution. As a result of this, wo have the Public School Iaw, the Homestead Exemp tion Law, numerous charters for new and im portant railroads, and an election law adapted to tho new extension of the franchise iu Geor- 31 The canvass in which wears now entering is ono of equal importance to that of 1868- It wo would maintain the fruits of the victory of that election, we must win this. IT wo wonld not nullify the new Constitution by torning the State over to the hands of the revolntion- ary Democracy, we should elect onr candi dates in every county and district in the State. It is a prominent and taTorite scheme with this revolutionary friction of the Democracy to repeal most, if not oil, tho legislation of the pre- ent year, should they come into power. They even go so fin: as to openly advocate the repu diation of the bonds of the State gut^on-ed to be issued qnd now in existence; and they propose, by constitutional amendments, to emasculate the present Constitution of the State so as to make it harmonize with the pet views and issues of the Democracy of 1868. This has been openly proclaimed, both in the Senate and House of the General Assembly, as well as through the Democratic press of the State. Indeed, they have adopted a platform of principles identical with the National Dem ocratic platform of 1868, thereby pledging themselves (should they eomo into power) to tk,. XlYtli and XVlh f .:..-li!uti< :.al Amendments; to nullify the Acts of Congress in so for as those Acts impose disabilities for holding office; and, in short, to inaugurate a revolution as tins contoigplatcd by the Democratic nominee for Vico President in 18G8. ’ ' It is against this faction of the Democracy, and not against Democrats as such, that the Republicans of 1870 now make war iu Geor- constmction? And do you really support and maintain tho new Constitution of the State and the State Government as setup thereunder? If yon can answer me affirmatively, then yon have no issue to make with tho Republican party of the Stato. If yon ore note willing to concede to every man, irrespective of- the accident of his birth, or of _ hi^ vious condition,tho right to a voice *n the government; if you are note wilting to see the lowly elevated by a just and wise legislation; if you are now wilting to let the dead past bnry its dead; if yon are now writing to go with us in the future, in the maintenance of qpr present government, and tho development of tho material and in dustrial resources of the State, then I am authorized to say to yon that the platform of *’ ’is wtoe tho Republican party' is wBlo enough for you and all others who will now co-operate with I see before mo a number of gentlemen who belonged to the old "Whig party in days gone by. That was indeed a noble old organiza- zation, and it is one of the proudest reflections of my life that I belonged to it in the days of its power and prestige. It was a party that always denied the revolutionary dogma of local or State sovereignty. Under the leadership of Mr. Clay'and Mr. Webster, it denied tho di- viao right of Slavery, repudiated as treasona ble tho doctrine that the ultimate allegiance of the citizen was due to the State Government, and HQmcMhat the genius of Republican in- stitution^and tho stability of our Free Gov ernment, demanded primary allegiance to the Union. Yon, as Whigs and Union men in I860, contemplated with horror tho pro position, made by this revolntionaiy Dem ocratic party, to sever tho Union and establish thirty-two Republics, where, in law, there oonld be bnt one. Yon never yielded yonr consent to co-opera to with theta ;n the estab lishment of the proposition that the Union was simply a “compact,” a rope of sand, to be broken at tho will of any one State. Yon held the Union paramount to everything else, bat yon yielded an acquiescence to the domin ation of* this Democratic f.ictiopSMMv when yon saw resistanco was frnitl. w, that the oontest is over; now that tho principles of tho Federal or Whig party, as enunciated by Hamilton, and Washington, _ and Adams, have been vindicated; now ’that the Declaration of Independence has, for the first time in the history of tho United States, been mode a practical and living reality in all the States; now that the dogma of Secession and ultimate State allegiance has been decided by the high est tribunal known to civilized nations; now that the whole issue which onee divided the Whig and Democratic parties, or the Union and the Secession parties, has been settled, and settled fearer, allow me to ask yon, in all ' ‘ less, art.vou prepared to re-open those ? Are you prepared, at this late day, to renonnee yonr ancient faith, and ally your selves with your old enemies who openly pro claim that “the war settled no political ques tions” and that the constitutional right of Se cession still exists? Why, these Democratic leaden even tell yon that the question of Se cession is simply adjourned, not settled; and that whilst it may be “inexpedient” to put into ptactioe their pernicious doctrines, they, nevertheless, intimate quite plainly that -’the time may come” when they can hare a new hearing! Now. uentiemen. if the principles of tho Whig party were right in 181S, 1S00 and 1856, they are right to-day; and if the principles enunciated oy Ur- Calhoun and the nnltinera of 1833 were pernicious; if the principles ennnaiated in I860 by Mr. Yancey, Mr. Breck inridge^ and the Secession leaders of the De mocracy were revolntionaiy in I860, they are so still. Tbe only difference is, that a Demo crat in I860, to bp consistent with his theory of government, mast necessarily advocate tho right of Secession; whereas, now having ap pealed to the highest tribunal known to civil ized nations for adjudication of the question which had long been mooted, and the deci sion having been rendered, and havrog sworn to abide that decision, he uow violates not only the fundamental principles oath of ffiegu3ceTby attempting to re-estab lish the issues which led to that conflict! Many honest Democrats, (and there ore each) sincerely believed that the paramount allegi ance of tho citizen was due the State; they sincerely believed in tho right of secession; they sincerely believed in the divine right of slavery; and, believing what they professed, era themselves. jj}bey expressed a willingness to submit the This was done, ns L in charity, am led to ,(uc*tio ’* *” ' *' _ ion to the arbitrament of tho sword, believe, for the purpose of reinstating them- lienee, os honorable men, they have now turned their backs upon the past, and surren dered, with their arms, the cause for which those arms were taken up. Therefore it is, that we find in the Republican party of Geor- mony of the old Democratic lets. They are by no means in consistent; they are simply carrying ont their pledges, made at the beginning of the war, to abide (he issue. They are simply true to their oaths of allegiance, given at the close of the war, to support the Government of the United States ns against all other govern ments, and the proclamation of emancipation as against all laws and ordinances. How, therefore, can au Old Line Whig who entered the war, not in obedience to his convictions of the righteousness of its inception, hat rather in obedienco to a hnmane sympathy ^^^rathe hour of conflict—how MPWcn the question has been settled,) Jeud himsell directly to tbe rcssur- rcction of an issue, which according to his opinion, never had any merits ? The issae of the present campaign, there fore, presents this simple proposition: Aro the People willing at this timo to accept tho pres ent status of things as imposed by the Con- css of tho United States, and by the Consti- _ ition of the State? Are my Old Lino-Whig friends willing to open np the avenues of in telligence and enterprise to all men in the State, regardless of color or previous condi tion? Are they willing that the present re markable prosperity of the State should be continued or accelerated by the administra tion of the government os we now find it? If so, I then say to yon that the lULkof the Re publican party are so extendeoiS to embrace yon, no less than all who originally acted with us. _ The Republican party in Georgia have no enemies to punish. It seeks not to discrimi nate against those who may have differed with ns in the past.

To Detect the Age of Itaadwrltlng. Attempts have been made to invent a meth od for approximately determining the age of any writing. Iron inks suffer a change in pro cess of time, and becomes yellow, the organic constitnents disappear and the iron becomes more prominent. By moistening tho writing with weak hydrochloric acid (lacid, 12 water) if tho ink is old a faint copy can be obtained, and the newer the writing the plainer will he the copy. In experiments made by Carre, handwriting thirty years old gave scarcely any impression—an anthentic document from the year 1787 yielding mere traces. Soaking the paper in weak hydrochloric, ricjti give* opposite results, ns bau4wri{ing a few months or a few years old is at once removed by this acid, while old ink has' suffered such a chemical change that the acid no longer acts upon it. After the experiment it is well to neutralize the acid by suspending tho paper over a capsule con taining sal ammoniac. The test appears to be only applicable to writing several years old, and is confined to iron inks. TU« Sleeping Beauty. The medical fraternity of St. Louis liavo been sitting upon the Sleeping Beauty of Hickman, Kentucky, and their conclusion is that she is a humbug. Tho sitting was not a physical operation, with the weight of the body superimposed, but one of those medical consultations wherein a dozen or so members of the Esculapiau profession draw their chairs in a circle, flourish their pocket handkerchiefs, nod to each otheriutelligently, sfrokethe nose with the ^ dexter digit, glance at tlfP%0Hjug, quote difficult Latin that is lit for epnurojfcn the mummies of Egypt, but frequent onTirug- gists’ bottles, mutter confidentially such terms as “diagnosis,” “non comatose," physiological phenomena," &C.; and finally draw up a wri ting certifying that “we, of the medical fra ternity of so-and-so, after due deliberation and scientific investigation, with experimental de monstration, accompanied with appliances of modern formation, do lind-that,” &c. This he manner and w^JBLpf the medical in the case oi Misy^uodsey, the re- fble Sleeping Beauty of Western Ken tucky, save the certain curious ones of this medical conclave of saw-bones who were pos sibly desirous of rivaling the discovery of Har vey,poked thrnr fingers in the Sleeping Beauty’s eyes, pinchea her cheeks and limbs, shook her body, stuck her with a needle, and by other wake-up processes sought as well to spoil her handsomeness as to arouse her to light and life. That was a cruel verdict of those distin guished practitioners, for it exploded the mys tery of how a woman, of remarkable beauty of facial expression and physical perfection of form, could only keep awake two hoars out of tbe twenty-four,, and thus exist for twenty-one years, 'the cold, steel scalpel cut without compunction, however, and the judgment is solemly entered by tho medical wiseacres of St Louis that the Sleeping Beauty is “a pure and unadulterated humbug, trained for purpo- of deception." e Xew York Knickerbocker, ustin McCarthy thus describes the old New ^rk families: What is a Knickerbocker? One of the grand old legendary families who live in what may be called the Faubourg St Germain of New York; one of those who had grandfathers and ancestors, and are prond of them; who data hack to Peter Stuyvesant and his peers and paladins; who aro Republicans with a picturesque Old World dash of legitimacy over them; who shrink back from Shoddy as a Larochcjaquelein might from a Mires; who would rather be poor, if needs were, than be mixed up with any of the vulgarity of modem ealth; and who would be offended if they were mistaken for residents of Fifth avenue. Leave the . luxurious vassals of Fifth avenue, Murray Hill and Madison av enue, you inquiring European stranger of intellect and pensive mind; wander toward the East river, nntil yoa emerge from shops and noise and traffics, and modern activity into the solemn, stately monotony and majestic si lence of Second avenue. There dwell the Knickerbockers in dignified isolation, fading grandly away, aito perituri, bat touching and sublime in their fait Modern degeneracy has not reached them. Go there, contemplative stranger, in the twilight, and not in the garish day, and say whether even New York has not its ruins and its romance; whether even mod ern commerce may not have its old noblesse, democracy its traditions of gentility, republi canism its legitimacy and its stately futile protests against a too clamorous and vulgar progress. The Coliseum has been done to rags; the Alhambra is “played;" the Faubourg St Germain is worn ont Will no poet of melancholy spirit feed his sat^ soul wilh med itations among the Knickerbocker mansions of Second avenne, New York ? Strong Character. Strength of character consists of two things— power of will and power of self-restraint. It requires two things, therefore, for its ex istence—strong feelings and strong command over them. Now, it is here we make a great mistake; wo mistake strong feelings for strong character. A man who bears ail before him, before whose frown domestics tremble, and whose bursts of fury make the children of the household quake—because ho has his obeyed, and his own wav in all things—1 call him a strong man. The truth is, that is the weak man; it his passions that are strong; he, mastered by them is weak. You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he subdaes, not by the power of those which subdue him. And hence composure is vety often tho high est result of strength. Did we never see a man receive a flagrant insult, and only grow a little pale and then reply qnietly ? That is a a nun in anguish stond, as if carved ont of solid rock, mastering himself? Or one bear ing a hopeless daily trial remain silent, and never tell the world what cankered his home peace? That is strength. He who, with strong passions, remains chasto; he who, keenly sensitive, with manly powers of indig nation in him, can be provoked, and yet re strain himself, and forgive—these are strong men, the spiritual heroes.

Not alone was food for scandal discovered iu the Emperor’s escritoire by the committee charged with the task of “editing" his papers. The sketch of a novel was discovered in his handwriting, which may be thus epitomized: M. Benoit, an honest grocer of Moon street, goes to America in 1847, and alter traveling extensively in the United States, returns to France in April, 1868, expecting to find that country groaning under an infamous despot ism, as informed by French refugees. Enter ing the harbor of Brest, accordingly, he won ders at the black, ugly substitutes for the line- of-battte-ship, and is told that they ore armor- plated vessels, the invention of the Emperor. Clothed in iron, they ore proof against shot, and this transformation has destroyed to a certain extent, the naval'snpremocy of England. His astonishment knows no bounds os he sees, on lauding, an orderly crowd on its way to the polls and learns of universal suffrage. The great railroad system of the empire, the net work of telegraph lines, the fortifications, em bellishments, order, cleanliness, and,especially I the immense improvements of the streets of Paris fills him with wonder and admiration;l and when he finds everything cheap, owing to I the commercial treaty, no political prisoners, the exiles returned, a free and universal peace, order and prosperity, his surprise knows no I bounds. Not an intricate plot, cerfefifcly, bnt doubtless tho Emperor found relief from the cares of state in its production, and it is, at all events, an innocent romance, r ^ m The Progress of German Unity. The battle of Sadown, 1866, made Prussia mistress of North Germany, and gave birth to the Northern Confederation. It did more—it taught the South German States the propriety, if not the necessity, of courting the friendly alliance of the North. No sooner was the treaty of peace signed between Austria and Prussia than the fact was made public, much to* the annoyance of the Emperor Napoleon, that Prussia and the Northern Confederation fyld entered into a military alliance, offensive and defensive, with Bavana and Wurtemburg and Baden. A military alliance with these South German States was not all that Bismarck and the German unionists who acted with him wanted. More, however, it was impossible for the present to obtain. Sedan has now accom plished what Sadowa left undone. Baden, it was nlways known, was impatient for a closer union with tho North. There were donbts about Wnrtembnrg and Bavaria. It appears that Bavaria and Wartembqrg have made an end of those doubts by a formal vote in favor of confederation with tho North. If this be correct, Germany is now more a unit than she has ever been in all her previous history, and Count Bismarck has gloriously crowned the edifice. In all future time Bismarck will be spoken of as the most daring and most suc cessful of the statesmen of the nineteenth cen- tury. 1.1/c Insurance Suicide as Vitiating a • * Policy.
