A WOMAN SPEAKS.
She Raises Her Voice in Beha'f of Cuban
Independence.
With the death of Maceo, if he
indeed be dead. Cuban independence
suffered an irreparable lose, for ’tis
not probable another leader can be
found to equal him in generalship.
His career was a most remarkable one.
Possessing a magnificent physique
daunt less courage, and splendid know
ledge of his country and of guerilla
warfare, and being full of resources
under the most desperate circum
stances, he was the idol of his people.
Some thirty-five years ago, on the
bloody field of Shiloh fell the gallant
Albert Sidney Johnson—a leader
among men! And a year later, when
the war cloud had grown more omin
ous and the fate of our glorious south;
land was wavering in the balance,
Stonewall Jackson breathed his last at
Chancellorsville —and the fate of a
nation was decided, though many
battles were fought, and many tatter
ed soldiers answered to the final roll
call before that fate was known
So will it be with Cuba, unless the
brave spirit which gave fame to the
old rebel yell in the days of ’64. rises
with renewed vigor to rekindle the
insurgents’ hearts, and joins with
them id cheering Cuba Libre.—Scylla
Thomas in Dalton Argus.

AS TO JUDGE BARRIS
A Visitor From »he Rural istricts
Writes
OF HIS EXPERIENCE AT CITY COURT
H eFayi a Very High Compliment to the
Probity aud Ability of he Judge
Us Rome City Cou> t.
Bright and early Monday morning last
Monday in response to a summons from his
honor, Judge Harris, I left home with an
umbrella and a sad heart (not that I was
guilty of some henious felony for I was
one of the twelve “good and true” men
who were to aid the court in the adminis
tration of justice) but as a member of the
famous Chronic Grumblers Society of
Skinflint Deestrict, where I have listened
with horror to the wholesale denunciation
of so called courts of justice, and the
‘“cussed” lawyers, who I had been taught
wore devoid of conscience and destitute
of principle, I confess 1 felt as if the un
feeling depotism of the law would force
me to endure disreputable company for
one long and weary week. But, having
learned, many years ago, that the inevita
ble is absolutely unavoidable I submitted.
Through pouring rain, with the spirit
of a true pilgrim, and my shoes covered
with mud, 1 succeeded at length, with
difficulty, in reaching what I supposed
to be a veritable ““den of thieves” so to
speak, but which I found to my amaze
ment, is a temple of justice.
Promptly at ten oclock bis honor
arrived, and with all the solem
nity of a man of God. conduct
ing’ a reljgious service, announced
'hat court had convened, and to my
astonishment the wheels of justice
were well oiled by an earnest fervent
prayer, and I confess I felt relieved—
-1 found that all tbe talk about the
“cussedness of the lawyers, and tbe
unscrupulousness of the courts pure
“bosti ”
Os his honor Judge Harris I assert with
perfect confidence in the accuracy of the
assertion, no man who ever presided upon
the bench had a bigger heart, or admin
islrated justice with a more absolute im
partiality I confess 1 was more than
[•leased, I was absolutely impressed,
while passing sentences, upon a number
of negroes whom he knew well, and for
whom he deeply sympathised, every one
was deeply touched (he himself trembling
with emotion) with his words of kind
admonition and his expressions of sym
pathy for the erring ““brothers in black.”
Os tbe bar I must concede (and I feel a
pleasure in making the concession) there
was 1 am sure no “cussedness” displayed
nor even a remote intimation of such
magnificent wickedness when the whole
souled Charles Underwood, and the gen
erous and courtly Nat Ha-ris, with hearts
us big us stone mountains and as
soft as a woman’s love, without the
hope of a fee,prompted by pure sympa
thy alone rise, in tbi ir prices and with
tears strolling gently down their
manly cheeks, and their hearts run
ning over with sympathy to beg his
honor to “be with my client as the
nature of the case will admit.’’ prep -
dice gives place to admiration and
love. This of course is applicable to
all tbe other members of the bar in
chiding even the hard hearted Joe
Nunnally—whose hard heartedness
however, is only seeming.
To th- court and bar I tender my
grateful thanks for my “laming,”
and one solid week of entertainment
from which I derived so much pleas
ure and such substanti il benefit.
