GENERAL A. H. COLQUITT.
Wo propose to say a few words in re
gard to this most excellent man, in the
way of biographical notice, that those
who may not have been made familiar
with his history may see what high
claims liis friends may set up in his be
half to the popular regard an 1 confi
dence. From his youth General Colquitt
has been distinguished for his morality
and modest worth. He was the most
dutiful and devoted of sons, the truest of
brothers and ho never lost a friend. His
whole life does not furnish a solitary in
stance of guile, and hardly one of resent
ment or hostility towards a human being.
It is no wondei, then, that when the
qualities of heart such as this distin
guished man possesses, have been so
ably supported by a judgment, prudence
and discernment far above the sum of
those traits which fall to the lot of most
men, that he should have been the favor
ite and almost the pet of the public.
Colquitt, though not born to fortune,
spuing from parentage that placed him
under bonds from bis earliest youth to
love and honor Georgia. Ho felt this,
and so long back in his life that those
who remember him as a youth think of
him as a model. In his early manhood
the people looked upon him with bene
diction, and in spite of his modesty and
self-abnegation they called him into their
service. When quite a young man he re
ceived the nomination of his party for
the representation of the Second Con
gressional district, and he was elected by
a most honorable vote.
Declining a second term ho was unan
mously and by acclamation renominated
by tho party convention, but he firmly
declined the splendid offering. He glad
ly retired to the walks of private life,
and with zeal betook himself himself to
the unpretending labors of a Georgia
planter. His people still insisting upon
retaining his services, he was called to a
scat in the State Senate, and then he
was permitted to decline all public labor
which withdrew him from his coveted se
clusion and pursuit. It was in that se
clusion that the message of his country’s
danger reached him. Without ado cr
flourish, ho resolved where duty called
him he would go. He raised a fine com
pany and reported at headquarters at
Atlanta very early in ISGI, and was mus
tered into service. The service was un
limited and unqualified by any selfish
stipulations whatever.
This quiet, solid virtue was recognised
as it ever before bad been, and Colquitt
was made Colonel of tho Gth Georgia
regiment, and took to Richmond, we be
lieve, the very first “during tho war” re
giment which Vnarched from Georgia, or
the South, in fact. That regiment, with
its patient, brave, and conscientious lead
er, whether as Colonel, or Brigadier or
Major General, in more than thirty bat
tles, passed through all the transmigra
tions of trial and blood.
The hero of Manassas loved Colonel
Colquitt and trusted him, and no respon
sibilities, in Beauregard’s judgment,
were too heavy to be laid by him on Col
quitt’s shoulders. Who has not heard
of tho battle of Olustree, which saved
our entire wire grass region from devas
tation ? Colquitt was as veritably the
hero of that light as Bragg was of tho
ba' tic of Chickamauga.
Four years’ absence from home, spent
in the pitiless storm of “iron hail,” and
the results of tho war scattered to tho
winds one of the finest private fortunes
in Georgia. But poor as 18G7 found
Colquitt, he was rich enough to como
with ready and buoyant tread and lay
upon the shattered altar of his State his
offering—when all was gloom—when
stout hearts gayp up and the groan was
uttered, “What is the use of further ef
fort t” this lion hearted man was up and
ready. He counseled action—he advised
that no supine acquiescence in reeon
struction outrage and ignominy should
finish our ruin, and when empty purses
were appealed to in vain for the means
of a last struggle for our little all, Col
quitt aud Toombs, all honor to their
names, came forward and made about all
the cash contribution that could be got
to make a fight on.
It is now history, and glorious history,
what good results for us followed tho
advice and favors of General Colquitt
and the noble band of true men who
thought as he did and struggled with
him. After we gained for the State its
new lease of life, the review and our sur
roundings were almost as discouraging
as the signs of destruction which bloody
and cruel war had* scattered all around.
Our industry seemed to be crushed, and
all future hope for our agricultural re
cuperation seemed folly. Bat General
Colquitt here again appears as the true
and watchful friend of the interests of
the State—and we can safely claim for
him a zeal and intelligence in his labors
in behalf of our greatest interest —the
agriculture of Georgia—second to none.
" This we know is high praise, for where
can we find moro energetic and devoted
service than has been rendered by the
friends of our planting and farming in
dustry. For six years or more Gen. Col
quitt has been President of the
State Agricultural Society, and has given
his most caraest efforts to build up and
extend the usefulness of that most valu
able and honorable organization. Be
sides his labors for tho society, ho has
been ono of the leading spirits in tho
great measure of direct trade between
Georgia and the foreign markets. The
solid practical sense of Gen. Colquitt
made him long since deduce from our
situation the vital fact that her agri
eulutural enterprise was hampered and

Though ho well knew that millions *of

be to thwart the partriotic endeavor to
take crushing loads from our backs,
this fact did not daunt him, and as

given proof of the highest statesmanship
as well as the loftiest patriotic purpose.

A SNARL AGAINST COLQUITT.
We do not know that it would be a
sacrifice for Judge Johnson to accept
tho office of Governor, and it is for that
very reason we insist upon his taking it.
Sacrifice is the religion of patriotism.
All earnest patriots are willing to make
it, and we want none but patriots at the
head of our administration. How dif
ferent it is with Colquitt. He claims
the office as a reward* and his friends
claim it for him as a pension. They say
that unless ho gets it ho is ruined, and
will have no other means of subsistence.
Far be it from us to let such a gallant
gentleman starve, but it would bo better
for the State to appropriate $5,000 a
year for his support than to make him
Governor simply to provide Inin a|home
and bread and meat for his family.
[Rome Courier.
THE AEEIOAN COAST.
The surf on tho African coast, says a
letter writer, is ever a wonder and a
danger. There is no coast in any part
of the world, which possesses less ports
or harbors for refuge. You may ti’avel a
thousand miles, almost, without finding
a cove or harbor where a ship could an
chor quietly without being rocked by
the surf waves. Try along tho whole of
the grain, tho ivoi’y, the gold and the
slave coasts, and there is not ono port.
But, fortunately for ships trading to
these places, there is seldom a hurricane
or a gale blowing, so that they are able
to anchor about a mile from the shore.
There is never any dead calm, though
the sea in the morning is stirred up into
wavelets by-the breeze from oceanward.
During the night it is moved by tho land
breeze, so that ships anchoring uneasily,
they are never at rest. Unceasingly the
long lines of waves are to be traced roll
ing onward toward tho shore, gathering
strength as they advance nearer, until,
receiving the ebbing waters flowing
f omg the beach from preceding seas,
there is a simultaneous coiling and roll
ing, and at once the long line of waters
is precipitated with a furious roar oti the
land. Where the water meets a rock a
tall tower of spray and foam is suddenly
reared, the wave line is broken, and is
in mad confusion. Where the beach is ,
smooth and of sand, you may trace a
straight, unbroken line of foam, nearly
a mile long.
A hater of tobacco asked an old negro
woman, the fumes of whose pipe were
annoying to him, if she tlirought sh owas
a Christian. “Yes, brudder, I ’spects I
is.” “Do you believe in the Bible?’
“Yes, brudder,” “Do you know that there
is a passage in the Scriptures which
says that nothing unclean shall enter tho
kingdom of Heaven ?” “Yes I’ve heard
of it.” Well,. Chloe, you smoke and
there is nothing so unclean as the breath
of a smoker. What doyoa say to that ?”
“Why, I ’spects to leave my breff be
bind when I go dar.”
THE WONDERS OF MACHINERY HALL.
Machinery hall is 1,3G0 feet long and
360 feet wide ; it covers about fourteen
acres, and cost $542,300.
On entering the edifice at the western
end the sight is picturesque and impres
sive. Almost every sort of machine in
existence, from a locomotive to a paper
folder, is in active operation. The per
sons employed to work them are now
fairly started in their tasks, and the
prospect of six months in the building
seems to make them feel at homo. Tho
central object of interest is tho magnifi
cent engine, which furnishes the motive
power for all the machinery that is not
self propelling. It consists of an im
mouse fly wheel, thirty feet in diameter,
two feet in thickness, and fifty tons in
weight, caused to revolve at the rate of.
thirty six revolutions a minute by tho
piston rods of two cylinders ; and so si
lently does it perform its work that even
when close beside it you can hear tho
lowest tones of your companion’s voice.
Below it is the main shaft, which by
gear wheels six feet in diameter connects
witli eight lines of shafting, each 365 feet
long, running lengthwise under the roof,
; and communicating their motion by
leather belts to tho various machinery on
floor.
This machinery is of the most ingeni
-sflUiew rnLsiuioiis d*ci'iptioft, ivad consists
of apparatus used in mining, Weaving,
felting and paper making; in sewing
and the manufacture of clothing and
ornamental objects; in typo setting,

making and paper working; in produc
ing and transmitting power; in pumping,
hoisting and lifting by hydraulic and
pneumatic forco * in manufacturing loco
motives and railway rolling stock; in
preparing agricultural implements ; and
in aerial, pneumatic and water transpor
tation. While sauntering along the
aisles ono can witness the process of
rock drilling, of well and shaft boring,
of coal cutting, of electroplating, of
planing, sawing, veneering, grooving,
mortising, tonguing, cutting, moulding,
stamping and carving ; of drilling, slot

of generating power by boilers, water

street railways and horse cars ; of grind
ing grist, refining sugar, making candy,
preparing tobacco, oil, spices and fancy
goods, and brewing beer and distilling
liquors ; of building suspension bridges,
transporting cables, sending balloon
boats and sailing vessels, and finally of
transporting the telegraph cables and
railway trains, and of steering and pro
pelling ships and steamboats. Indeed,
it is not too much to say that an extra
ordinary lifetime might be spent in ex
amining tho apparatus, the processes
and the results presented in Maceinery
hall. The vast structure, with the ex
ception, perhaps, of some of the persons
who are visiting it, does not obtain a
single object not interesting or instruc
tive.
Lapland mothers, are not in the habit

The Laps are a very religious people, and

As soon as the family arrive at tho little

cured, the father shovels a snug little bod
in tho snow, and mother wraps the baby
in skins and deposits it therein. Then
the father piles the Bnow around it, and
the dog is set on guard, while tho par
ents go decorously into tho oLurch.
Often as many as thirty babies may bo

GEDAES OF LEBANON.
Upon the slopes of the snow-mountain
of Lebanon stood those gigantic cedar
trees—whole forests of them then—now
.only olio or two small groups; but awful,
travellers tell us, even in their decay.
Whence did they come? There are no
trees like them for hundreds, I had al
most said for thousands, of miles.
There are but two other patches of them
left now on the ivhole earth—one on the
Atlas, ono in tho Himalaya Tho Jews
certainly knew of no trees like them, and
no trees either of their size. There were
tress among them, then, probably two
and three hundred feet in height; trees
whose tops were as those monster tow-
ers ; whoso shafts were like yonder pil
lars, and their branches like yonder
vaults. No king, however mighty, could
have planted them up there upon the
lofty mountain-slopes. The Jew, when
ho entered beneath tho awful darkness
of these cedars; tho cedars with a shad
owy sbroud-v-as the Scripture says—the
cedars high and lifted up, whose tops
were among the thick boughs, and their
height exalted abovo all the trees of the
field; fair in their greatness; their
boughs multiplied, and their branches
long—for it is in such words of awo
and admiration that tho Bible talks al
ways of the cedars—then the Jew said,
“Ged has pl'mteiTthoso, and God alone.”
And when he thought, not merely of their
grandeur and their beauty, but of their
uso ; of their fragrant and incorruptible
timber, fit to build tho palaces of kings,
and the temples of gods; he said —and
what could he say better ?—-“These arc
trees of God,” wonderful and glorious
words of a wonderful and glorious
Creator. If ho had not, ho would have
had less reason in him, and loss knowl
edge of God, than the Hindoos of old,
wlio/when they saw the other variety of tho
cedar growing, in like grandeur, on the
slopes of tho Himalaya, called them the
Deodara—which means, in the old
Sanskn tongue, neither moro nor less
than “the timber of God,” the “lance of
God”—and what better could they haVo
said ?—[C. Kingsley.
THE VALUE OF SUNFLOWEES IN SEV
ERAL WAYS.
A few stalks of this grand, rank grow
ing plant, in tho garden or near tho
house, are highly beneficial in many re
spects ; they arc great promoters of
good health by freely absorbing malari
ous gases in the air and purifying it.
The seed is splendid food for poultry in
tho winter and spring. And, best of all,
the seed of sunflowers is tho most heal
thy food that can be given to horses in
winter and spring; half a pint a day
keeps them in health and spirlits, with
sleek coats, and moro animated, than any
other food. It prevents “heaves” and
other diseases. All places, with tho least
tendency to malarial dificulties, should
have numbers of sunflowers growing
about tho residences. Theft they aro
great favorites with little birds—yellow
birds, blue birds, wrens, and many others
—which will leave fruit and berries to
perch up and pick sunflower seed. It
may not bo generally known that tho
seed of the sunflower is tho most infalli
ble remedy yet discovered for the speedy
cure of founder in horses. The direc
tion which we glean from a brief article
upon the subject in tho Essex Banner,
says :
“Immediately on discovering that’your
horse is loundered, mix about a pint of
tho whole seed in his food, and it will
perfect a cure.”
A little neglect may breed a great mis
chief; for want of a nail tho shoo was
lost; for want of a shoo tho horse was
lost ; aud for want of a shoo tho rider
was lost, being overtaken and slain by
the enemy; all for w r ant of a little care
about a horseshoe nail.
A Map of the Moon.— Dr. Schmidt of

It contains thirty-four craters aud hills,
besides three hundred and fifty rills and
other objects.
Shook’s boy heard him say the other
day that there was money in hens, and
he proceeded to investigate the old man’s

SALICYLIC) AOID AltD ITS USES.
In making wine, fermentation may bo
regulated, and.when the proper slage has
been reached may be stopped, while
many of the after changes and so called
“diseases” of wine may be prevented by
the use of this substance in such small
quantity as to prove neither disagreea
ble nor injurious Special experiment
seoms to be needed with each kind of
wine in order to fix tho exact quantity
proper to be used, but it lias been sug
gested that in such experiments about
to 3| grains of the acid (first dissolved
in alcohol or strong spirit) to each gal
lon of wine may be tried with a view to
make tho latter freo from further change.
Vinegar may be similarly treated*
with rather larger amounts of salicylic!
acid, to preservo it freo from “mother”
or mould.
Drinking water may be kept Sweet and
good, even in wooden vessels* by a mere
trace of tho acid. In pla >cs Ike Nofir
Orleans, ifcllore rain water is habitually
caught and kept in large wooden cisterns
for months, this point becomes decidedly
important.
Beverages for the sick, such as barley
water, lemonade and beef tea or soup,
j which often have to stand ready for uso
I for hours of days in hot weather, may
! be prevented from spoiling by the like
t means ; the same remark applies to veg
i etftblo nmdicincs, infusions or barks*
herbs, teas, &c. An excellent tootli wash
or tootli powder may be made from the
acid suitably diluted In liquid or solid
form. It has been found that fresh
milk, to which but 20 or 25 grains of
salicylic acid per gallon had been added,
when exposed to the air at 65° F., curdled
36 hours lator than milk under the sarao
circumstances to which no addition had
been made. This delay of tho “turning"
or curdling of milk may not only prove
directly useful in preserving it for drink
ing at tho table, but may increase the
yield of buttef by affording time for a
a larger amount of cream to rise before
skimming.
The addition to butter itself of 10 or
12 grains of the acid for each pound
makes it keep much longer fresh even in
hot summer weather.
Eggs have in liko manner been suc
cessfully’prepared for keeping by laying
them in water in which the acid in powd
er had been suspended.
Fresh meat may bo placed in a vessel
and covered with water, in which as much
of the preservation as possible liftH been
dissolved in the cold (only about 1 part
in 300) or may bo rubbed with the solid
in powder and thc’latter washed off when
tho moat is to bo cooked; moat fee?
treated has been proved to keep at least
a week in hot weather ; tho tasto is not
injured, but tho natural red color is in a
measure lost, the meat becoming pale or
gray in appearance
Preserved fruits, jellies, &c., may bo
protected from souring and moulding
by a little Salicylic acid in each jai*.
Starch paste for laundry uso may bo
similarly kept without sourness or un
pleasant smell j ink may bo preserved
clear and freo from mould, and mucilage
prevented from spoiling by a very few
grains of this useful substanco stirred
iuto tho bottle.
Other applications will from time to
time suggest thomsclves, and numerous
experiments may advantageously be
made to settle the amount of preserva
tive to use in each special case aft’d the
best methods of applying it.
Ono point should be remembered,
that the compounds of salicylic acid with
alkalies do not possess tho anti fermenta
tive power of the acid itself, and there
fore in using the latter contact with alka
line substances, soap for instance, should
be avoided.

HOG CHOLERA RECIPE 3
I use a preventive ratbor than a cilrc.
My remedy for several years past has
been coal tar and any kind of soft grease,
mixed in equal quantities, and rubbed
on the hogs, say once a month, or as of
ten as they get lousy, will keep them in
good condition outwardly ; inwardly 1
uso copperas, turpentine, salt and ashes,
soap suds, &c., thcro is nothing bettor
taken inwardly than coal tar. I have
not had a case of cholera among my 1
hogs since I have adopted tho uso of
coal tar with them —Exchange.
Soar Cure for Hog Cholera. —A year
ago I bought six hogs from a drove of
twenty that were dying with cholera,
and found, on driving thorn home, that
they were affected ; thoy vomited often.
I put them with twenty-live of my own
raising, and boiled somo corn in weak
lye from ashes, used soft soap in their
slop from tho kitchen, and I never lost
one, whilo tho last of tho drove 1 loft
died. I have ono now which took it a
month ago, so bad it would cat nothing;
it Boomed blind. I cured it by using
one dose of common soap, lftado thin
with water, pouring it down with a cup,
by holding the hog on its back.
[Exchange
Compost. —l. For corn 20 bushels
each cotton seed, stable manure and
woods earth and 10 bushels of ashes.
For cotton, 15 bushels each cotton seed,
stable manure and woods earth, and 6
bushels ashes. 'Tho above quantifies,
fair manuring for one acre in tho hill or

In Circassia and Georgia, Persia aft'd
India, one of the mother’s earliest cares
is to promote the growth of her children s
eye-lashes by tipping and removing tho
fine gossamer-like points with a pair of
scissors when they are asleep. By re
peating this every month or six weeks
they become in time long, close, finely
curved, aftd of a silky gloss. The prac
tice never fails to produce the desired
effect, Mid it is particularly useful when,
owing to inflammation of tho eyes, the
lashos have been thinned and stunted
