The Mlnte Fnir.
We ere under many obligations to Mayor Huff for a
Complimentary Ticket to the State Fair to be held in
Macon. Ga, commencing on the 27th of October and
continuing until the firat of November. From every
indication this will be the most interesting Fair ever
held in Georgia;
No* a Failure in It very thing.
The New York Heirs says that Ben Butler has proven
a failure in everything. From Big Bethel to the
Worcester Convention he has always failed in every
thing he has undertaken. As a military man and a
politician, he has signally failed, because they d ; d not
suit his genius, but when betook to stealing he was
abundantly Successful. He then struck his, vocation.
Finnurinl Signs of the Times
For many months there have been unmistakeable
signs of an impending financial crisis. Last year at the
North, on the surface everything to a casual observer
seemed to indicate great financial prosperity. In near
ly all of the cites and large towns, splendid buildings
were going up, real estate was rising every day.
Crowds of people were thronging the different watei-
ing places, exhibiting their costly jewels and extrav
agant turnouts. This would seem to indicate great
prosperity and wealth. But it was all on the surface.
Thinking men foresaw that this could not last. The
real wealth of any country is the product of labor. But
these men who were making such grand exhibitions of
their wealth, never earned a dollar. They were most
ly speculators and politicians. The speculators gener
ally get their money by cheating and defrauding
others and the politicians by stealing from the public.
An army of speculators and politicians never add a
dollar to the aggregate wealth of a country, but rather
tend to impoverish it. Speculators and thieves fre
quently have money, but they do not make it them
selves. They filch it from others, but this does not in
crease the riches of a country. This great show of
wealth in many cases, has turned out deceptive and
fictitious. Many of the fine buildings which were rear-
i ed a year or two ago, are now mortgaged for more
"than they would sell for Very few splendid buildings
(are going up now except to replace those that have
been destroyed by fire. Very tew persons have spent
Imuch time at the fashionable watering places this year,
jin comparison with the crowds of former years. All
‘of these signs point to a coming financial crisis. It has
'been discovered that everybody cannot get rich by
speculating, nor can a very large number get rich by
stealing, l'oliticians and speculators have overdone
the business and many of tnem have made a failure.
- There has been too little earned and too much spent to
continue long, and a change is inevitable. The bank
ing houses that have failed have been speculating and
the officers as individuals have been speculating, and
we believe many more of them will fail. The govern
ment may check the panic by scattering large sums
of the peoples money among the speculators and
thieves, but will only stop the downward tendency
for a short time. There must be a radical change
sooner or later, a whole nation cannot live long by
speculating and stealing.
Col. ITlcKinlry'a Invited Speech.
Mr. Editor-. Permit me to acknowledge, through
your columns, the very great pleasure and instruction
I have received from the perusal of the speech of Col-
McKinley before the Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety at Athens on a “ New System of Laud and La
bor for the South,” a copy of which the author kindly
sent to me.
For Beveral years past, in the quiet of domestic ob
scurity, my thoughts have dwelt seriously upon the
great need of r. change in our labor system both for
domestic and farm purposes, which could boil down,
ns it were, the present chaotic forces in our midst,
and bring therefrom the piactical utility of a just
faithful labor in return for lair wagts. The existing
system of high wages, slighted work, and oonetant
change of laborers lor the slightest pretext, is plowing
deep care-furrows in our foreheads, whitening our
raven locks, and beggaring our store houses. I have
felt and known for a long period that our only hope
lay in fashioning eon* method of securing negro labor
' for a longer term than yearly contracts, and making
it to the interest ot laborers to seek permanent hoi
1 among our landholders.
Asa woman can do nothing in public movemen
have looked anxiously for the great mind that should
hew out the shape of our future,
i Col. McKinley has done this with masterly force
* and logic Ilis proposed system is readily prac-
" ticable. If adopted it must work successfully for
both landlord and tenant, both white man and colored.
It will prove a real“ Reconstruction” measure to our
noble Georgia. It boots not that there are mighty
difficulties in the way with a government adverse to
onr plans. Great minds never pause at obstacles.
Should Col. McKinley succeed in impressing the need
of his proposed system upon the public mind, and 4
modified •• Copy-hold Land and Labor System" be
introduced and succeed in jonce more causing our Sun
ny South to bloom as a garden, then he will indeed
be the author of a new prosperity—the Pater Patna
to a rejuvenated Georgia.

vox pomi.
We have recently conversed with.a gentleman who
has been sojourning in Carroll uud Heard counties,
who stutes that the people of that section are largely
in fuvor of restoring the Capital to Milledgeville. The
voice of the people from one end of the State to the
other is in favor of restoration. This worst of all Rad-
ical usurpations is certain to be undone and that
speedily with a unanimity that will astonish a few peo
ple that think Kimbnllville is the center of the world
and fondly dream of great wealth wrung from the
people by more fat jobs from the State and a #2,000,-
000 Capitol.
Our Popnlntiwn iu 1900.
In 1815 Mr. E kanah Watson made a Beries of cal
culations on the prospective increase of the population
of the United States far the successive decades from
182(1 to 1900, inclusive ; and Mr. DcBow, statistician
of the Bcventh census, made similar estimates by
processes somewhat different. These eminent au
thorities, howsver, arrived at results remarkably
similar. Mr. Watson's estimate of our population iu
the yearl'JOO was 100,355,985; Mr. DeBow's, 100,337,-
408-
But the regular ratio of increase prior to our great
“ War between the States” was sadly interrupted by
that bloody and lamentable event, as is shown by the
result of the Census of 1870, which fell about four
millions short of the estimates of Messrs. Watson and
DeBow. Other causes have conspired to lessen our
rapid increase. An able and elaborate article in that
best of the American monthlies The Atlantic Month
ly, published by Osgood Sc Co., Boston, is before us,
written by Mr. Francis A. Walker. See the October
number of this publication for the whole of this valu
able article, and various others. Mr. Walker’s esti
mate of our population in 1900 is, for various reasons,
brought down to 75,000,000. How many of us shall
see T The census of 1880 will soon show whether the
old ratio is to bo regainod or not.
The late Financial Crash at the North.
It is generally believed that the late failures at the
North will have but little effect upon mercantile busi
ness men, especially at the South. Thus far the fail
ures have been confined entirely to stock speculators
Southern men have not been directly affected by the
crash.
Thi Cotton Crop.—The cotton crop receipts of
the past year, ending August 31st is placed by the
Financial Chronicle at 3,'J3d,508, or in round numbers,
4,000,000 bales, which is a most gratifying yield of our
great staple.
The various ills to which our great staple seems
heir to, have within the last few weeks modified the
figures of cotton rings and pools, and those who put
the growing crop at 5,000,000 will soon be glad to re
alize four millions of bales, the product of last year.
Crops in middle Georgia.
Cotton picking has fairly begun in this section, and
will end earlier than usual, owing to the unpropitiens
weather of the last few weeks. There is no tdp crop
of much account to muture, hence October will see
mostot the yield housed. This will enable the farmers
to thoroughly prepare their land for wheat and oats.
Nor would barley, rye and clover patobes come amiss
next spring, as the supply of home-made corn will be
rather short. Though the present crop out look is not
as cheering as it was iu mid-summer, still by industry
and frugality weinay hope toget comfortably through
the winter.—Madison Home Journal.
A newspaper correspondent, describing a scene on
?> *ne old stage routes among the mountains of
Virginia, tells of a ‘ stream of cool water tumbling
over the rocks in a fall of fifty feet, surrounded by a
grove of sugar maples, in which a proportion of mint
wastes its sweetness in the air, with a deserted still-
honse near by.” That cool water, that mint those
suggestive sugar trees, aod that idle still-house—was

" The Psati mt < (aland.' 1
This little work introduces the reader to a pha-o cf
life among the middle classes on the rugged coast of
Maine. Mtfet of Uie characters are sturdy sea-fariug
men who voyage round the world in youth, then settle
down and build tlieir cottages on one of
“ The isles that gem
Old Ocean's purple diadem,”
that in old age they might still, night and day, listen to
the gentle whispering or the hoarse wail of the mighty
sea, and ia fancy at least, enjoy their long wave-wan
derings still. These people are simple, industrious
and God fearing; expecting nothing more than life is
able to yield, and therefore enjoying the greatest meed
of happiness to be found here below.
The Pearl of Orr's Island has nothing exciting,
thrilling or sensational. The reader is borne along
with a sense of delightful exhilaration, charmed with
gentle ripples from the blue ocean; yet ever with
mild scene shifting enough to avoid weariness. There
is a great deal of the vraisemblance of life exhibited
by the homely characters in their every-day avoca
tions. their cares and sorrows, and their perpetual
simple, yet sacred struggle after the spiritual higher
life. Perhaps it may be termed an old fashioned story f
aud might be but illy adapted to the taste of the sens
ation-loving novel readers, who like high reasoned
reading, spiced with just a small spriukling of wick
edness to give zest to a bock, or that very large class
of carrion-crow readers who relish only the putridity
of literature.
Even a email pamphlet, embracing homeopathic
doses of morality (to say nothing of religion) palls the
public appetite.
As in all of this author's writings, Piety is displayed
in its purest aud most ennobling form. But alas,
what Mr. Herbert Spencer terms “ Evolutionary Ma
terialism.” and the mad canter after money, fill the
minds of so large a portion of the great world that re
ligion, or any book enforcing its duties, is quite a dull
dozing affair. There is too much theory, too little
practice of the life-giving spiritual power of piety in
the present day. We live and act too much as if this
earth was ail of life and not a highway to the real ex
istence beyond ; hence we honor those only who ac
quire brilliancy of reputation, or amass great wealth,
no matter what were the means employed.
It should be the habit of our souls” says the author,
to look upon that life as a success which, like the
file of Jesus, in its beginning, middle and close, has
borne a perfect witness to the truth, and the highest
forms of truth.” Wo are educated with too much
terror for death, and strive to drive away all thought
of it, lookiug solely to the horrors of the grave, aud
not enough at the ultimate glory of a perfected soul.
Were we trained to regard death as the gate to a pleas
ant existence which should be thought of with fre
quency, and which should lead us gently away from
sorrows and fleeting half-measured joys that never
fill our cravings, existence here would be robbed of
much torture.
The character of Mara Lincoln is not overdrawn.
How frequently in real life do we meet fragile beauty,
all nerve, all spirit—the very intensity of whose feel
ings quench life in its early bloom! All the charac
ters are well photographed; but among the best are
Miss Roxy Toothacre, homely in mien, rough in mau-
uer, with a great deep heart bounding in kiuuly sym
pathies for her companions; Moses Pennel, the em
bodiment of vigor who enjoys life from the overflow
ing exuberance of his own nature. Aud last, Cap
tain Kittridge with his marvelous yarns about mer
maids, India diamonds and coral reefs, in which he
fully believes from the frequency of their iteration.
The Pearl of Orr’s island has to be read to be appre
ciated. In very truth ik is a pearl among novels.—

DEATH ON THE HAIL.
A Terrible Accident on the Macon and
Brunswick H. R.
We learn that an extra f-eigbt train on the Macon
Sc Brunswick K. R.,ran over and killed Mr. John C
Walker, on Saturday night last, a little over oue mile
below Eastman. The unfortunate man was intoxica
ted, as we are informed. He was seen iu Eastman
late in the evening, under the influence of liquor, and
started to liishome, walking on the track. lie reach
ed a point within about 3U0 yards of his house, aud it
is supposed was overcome by the liquor he had taken,
and lay down and went to sleep. The Engineer, Mr.
E. Mershon of Macon, saw him when the engine was
about twouty yards from him, and blew. The brakes
were put on, but it was a heavy down grade, and the
train consisted ot twenty-seven cars, mostly loaded with
lumber, aud it was impossible to stop in less than two
hundred yards. The timbers to which the brakes of
the whole train are attached, passed over his body al
most literally breaking every bone iu bis body. Ilis
skull was gashed in several places, and broke; bis
neck broke ; nearly all bis ribs, and his legs aud arms
all broken to pieces ; aud both his feet cut ofi—one en
tirely severed aud the other attached to the body by
a small strip of the skin.
Mr. Walker was a hard working man, highly re
spected, of superior business^dgmeut,and fine health.
Though sixty years old, hew as not gray, and was
quite robust. lie bad but oue fault, be would drink
whi-key to excess.
We learn that no possible blame can attach to those
in charge of the train. As soon as it coul I be stopped,
.Mr. Frank Hurst, the conductor iu charge, went back
and found the body. Leaving it in charge of two of
bis train hands, he and tlie engineer w ent to Eastman
on the engiue aud reported the facts, carrying back a
number of citizens, who examined tin matter care
fully, uud took charge of the body. An inquest was
bold on Sunday, and lie was buried on Monday morn
ing.
Special ■legislation.
Iu spite of the real or assumed ignorance of the
Grange system confessed by Commodore Vanderbilt
that tremendous power continues to grow iu
numbers aud importance, and, ere long, will be
felt from oue end of the country to the other. The
Patrons will presently begin to see that their griev
ances are not provokod by railroads or middlemen, but
by Special Legislation which is the prime consequence
of dominant Radical authority.
The special legislation which exempts certain kinds
of property from taxation must, iu tiie long run, bear
hoaviiy upon the people who pay aud who have no re
lief ofa similar kind. One man has a burden taken
from bis shoulders, but some other man has to carry
double weight. It generally happens, too, that the man
who escapes the burden is better able to bear it, and
the man upon whom it is saddled doubly is no way fit
ted to endure it, Public lands are voted away to cor
porations for a mere song, aud interests are ‘protected’
to an extent that swells the coffers of those already
rich and diminishes the chance of living lor those al
ready so poor that fresh exactions come like the last
feather w hich breaks the camel s back.
There is no doubt that the farmers have had to carry
too much dead weight. Now this weight has not been
imposed by the merchants, but by the accursed tariff,
by venal Legislation, aud by a Centralizing party
which, under the guise of equal rights. is nothing but a
mammoth conspiiacy agaiust the people.
If the farmers of the Western States, for instance,
whose salvation exists in the policy of free trade, con
tinue to vote the Radicals into power, whose policy is
“protection,” high tariffs and the concentration ot all
power iu the money rings—how can they expect to
be rescued from the body of death ? As well might a
Christian anticipate paradise by worshiping Jupiter,
or a rake seek for reformation by violating ull the
requirements of the decalogue.
Gradually, the light will break upon the Northern
people. Uiey will discover that the wretchedness
of their present situation is the logical consequence ot
abandoning the Ceustitution smiting down local self-
government iu the States, shameless persecution of the
South, and the encouragement of a war for empire
which means, in its lastaualysis chains und slavery for
the poor.
We are on the threshold of great events. The day
of reckoning is at hand, and w ith it will come the vin
dication of the trampled, long suffering aud misrepre
sented South.—Const itutionat ist.
THE GEORGIA STORM.
A Record of Destruction.
In addition to the financial earthquake, we have
been greatly disturbed during the last two or three
dayB by a terrible storm or cyclone, which has
swept from southern Georgia to the coast, causing
much damage, we fear, to cotton crops and pruporty
in that portion of the country travelled over by the
hurricane. The ravages at Thomasville were fearful.
In Quitman the storm commenced on the evening of
the 18th, about dark, and increased in fury until on the
next morning, nothing seemed ab'e to withstand its
violence. It finally lulled about noon of the 19th, but
in the mean time great damage had been done to
property in the town. The stores of Frank Harden,
McCall & Groover and S. Shandel were unrooted and
damaged, their stocks of goods receiving slight in
jury.
Mr. Crane, a mechanic, suffered a total loss of his
shop, which was topped over and wrecked.
Several other buildings were shaken up, and the Bap
tist and Methodist (colored) Churches were effectually
blotted out by the storm. Shade trees, to the extent
of a hundred or more, aud fences in all directions were
torn up aud ruined. The roads are blocked by fallen
timber, and travel is completely blocked.
The cotton crop has been injured terribly, though
nothing definite can as yet be ascertained. At Bain-
bridge, Cairo, Bostou, and other points, the cyclone
did its work thoroughly. Houses were levelled to the
ground, and cotton by the acre ruined. By reference
to our local account of Central railroad and South Car
olina road disasters, it will be seen that the storm was
general along the line of the coast No proper esti
mate of damages can be made at present, and only
until the news comes iu little by little can the destruc
tive character oftliis storm be properly appreciated.

General Bnckacr'a Fortune Reclaimed.
Something of a romance is connected with the re
cent return to Mrs. Buckner, the wife of Gen. S. B
Buckner, the late Confederate General, of Kentucky,
of a certain large property which, when the war
broke out, she had conveyed to her brother. When
Gen. Buckner entered the Confederate service, and
before Mrs. B. joined him there, she conveyed the
property to her brother under a deed of trust. The
young man afterwards married, became a father, aud
entered the Union service The question now was,
what would be done with the property. If lie
should die or be killed without making a will re-con
veying to his sister tiie property she had defiled to
him, his child would inherit the fortune. On the eve
of the battle ot Sbarpsburg, however, lie made a will
of this character, and at the battle named was killed-
General Burnside, who commanded the curps in
which the young man served, knew that this will had
been made. He kept the secret, and after tiie war
iuformed Genera! Buckner of it, and the lntter, by
his aid, was enabled to recover the will. The testi
mentary proofs having beeD obtained, Mrs. Buck

seemed at one time to hang on a Blender thread was

ACCIDENT ON THE CENTRA I. H R.
Engine and Four Cara Rain into n M'aah—
Three Men Killed.
Last evening Major Shellmi.n, agent of the Central
Railroad, received a dispatch from Superintendent
Rogers, directing him not to send out a train to Savan
nah last night, as a wash liad occurred in the road aud
the train could not pass.
Later we learned that an accident had occurred on
the road, aud upon inquiry the following facts were
obtained: Tiie heavy rain of Wednesday caused a
wash in ihe road at Paddamore’s hill, neHr the 72
milepost. The down freight train, not aware ofthis
fact, was moving at its usual speed, when the engine
and four cars were precipitated into the wash, aud th
engineer, Mr. Win. Story, the fireman aud wood passer
were crushed to death. Mr. Story has been an engin
eer on the road for twenty years, and is -well known
and highly esteemed in Macon. We were unable to
learn the names of the fireman and wood passer.
No train left for Savannah last night, and none ar
rived thence. The train, however, from Augusta,
over the central road, arrived iu due time. Its run
ning is not interfered with, as the accident occurred
below Milieu.
Parties arriving last night from Augusta bring the
report that a dispatch had been received in that city
from Mr. .1. M. Selkiik. Superintenuent of the South
Carolina Railroad, stating that an engine liad been
precipitated into a wash on that road, between
George’s uud Reeves’turn-out, and an engineer, fire

The Miaaiasippi Campaign.
The telegraph informs us that the Conservatives of
Mississippi have “ deemed it inexpedient to make
any nomination for the State ticket.” This action
makes the issue clear and distinct between Alcorn
and Ames. Relorm may come through Alcorn; it is
impossible through Ames. Upon this hope, however
sleuaer, the Democrats of Mississippi will, iu great
part, support Alcorn without endorsing him or his
politics. He offers himself as an instrument and they
deemed it wise to use him, taking his honesty on trust.
The Missouri Republican thinks ‘Alcorn's Bolt is
the best and mo3t promising one the country has seen
since Gratz Brown and his followers walked out of the
State House at Jefferson City, taking with them for
ever the scalp of Missouri Radicalism.”
We shall see what it can do for Mississippi. Tiie

An Indian Rurial at Cong Branch.
The other day one of the children belonging to the
Camanche Indians performing at the Branch was
taken sick aud died. It was a sadly touching scene,
that rudo death-bed of the Indian child. While the
little one’s life slowly ebbed away the parents began
to array the body for the tomb ; the mother held the
babe in her arms, and, as she kissed its little lace,
the tears rolled down her dusky cheeks, aud her stent
frame shook with grief. The other squaws put flow
ers, beads, and a little gaudy wpolen dress on to the
dying babe. The men, as well as the women, were
deeply affected. The mother’s grief was almost fran
tic; she begged to have the dead child lushed on her
back, and to be sent home to the far West, her forest
home. It was some lime before the mother could be
quieted and persuaded to have tlio child put into a
coffin.
These rude stoical people were most deeply affected
by the death of this babe, only two years old. The
burial took place at the break of day; the occasion
was one never to be forgotten by those who saw that
lotiely cortege of mourners. All the gayety at tin
Branch was buried iu slumber; the busy whirlwind:
of pleasure were all sileut; fashion, beauty, wit, the
charms of civiiizatiou, were at rest; Old Ocean rolled
on the same as ever ; the waves lashed the shore, and
the white-cupped breakers came and went in the
same old way that they did from the beginning. Oic
Sol had not yet crept lip from the east; only a morn
ing twilight gave view to the scene. The sorrowing
Indians slowly walked down Ocean avenue and out
into the woods, where they made a grave aud laid
tlieir darling away. The coffin was filled with fruit
and bread, atnl in the grave a large pot of food was
placed, with the rough playthings of the child. Four
days tlio fond parents sat by the side of Lhut grave,
weeping and prayiug to the Great Spirit.

Items of vital statistics recently published iu Europe

opinion that the duration of human life is at present
greater than iu past centuries. Tims, it is stated that
in the city of Geneva, .Switzerland, registers have
been kept of the yearly average of haman lopgeviiv
since 15911. In that year it is given at 22 years and
6 months. At present it is over 40 years, 'i he tables
compiled by life assurance companies in England,
and adopted in this country, are said to show a similar
result. In the fourteenth century the average annual
mortality in the city of I’aris was 1 in 10; it is now
given as about 1 in 32. In ail England, in 1690, the
rate of mortality was 1 in 33; us now given, it i
about 1 in 42.

Mauou Telegraph gives 4 histoiy of Amy Ham
ilton, the woman now in jail for infanticide : At the
age of twelve years she was an orphan, and the pros
pective heiress ol about twenty thousand dollars. She
was then at school at Perry, whence she was stolen,
by oi.e who should have been her protector, and forc
ed to marry. When she refused to mairy the man
selected for her husband,she was whipped with a cow
hide and compelled to yield. Her married life was
just such as might have been expected under such cir
cumstances. They rolled in wealth and unhappiness
until dollar by dollar her money was gone aud she
was left with comparatively no support, and the two
children which lmd been born in the meantime. She
did what she cculd to support herself. She was never
of a strong mind, and therefore fitted only for the work
of servauts. Thus she did a* well as she could, be
cause she had a mother’s Inart in her then, and she
toiled for food for In r children She has even been
hired out, at a dollar a dny. to eook for a squad of ne
gro laborers on the Brunswick and Albany road. She
and her husband parted, and since then she appears
to have been a wanderer, doomed to the pitiful task
of going about the world to look for cl arity. She
wandered to Savannah, to Albany, to other places,
and tiually came to Macon ami took the streets in her
fruitless search for the sweet face of ebari'y. She did
not find it. We all know what she did find.

county to pick tlieir colton.
The Entontou Messenger; While the coin crop is
good in onr county, the boll worm, rot and caterpillar
combined are doing much damage to the 00!ton crop.
Farmers who have more acreage in cotton this year
than last, wiii not gather more than four fifths the crop
as last year. We trust that this falling short of the
cotton crop will enable producers to realize a hand
some price from the staple.
Cotton.—Our observation of the present condi
tion of the cotton crop, in this section, has been uni
ted, since our last report. From what we ha . e seen
we are satisfied that the yield is not half the capacity
of the lund; in other words, that not half a crop has
been made, The prevailing winds, too, are likely to
render it very trashy.—Albany Central City.
The following item we take from the Advertiser A
Republican. It is full evidence of what our farmers
can do, and we hope more of them will do likewise.
Such enterprise as this is commendable, and ought to
be encouraged;

which, from time immemorial, has been receiving
everything in this live from the Northern and Eastern
markets. Bui, strange uud unusual as it may seem,
we saw yesterday altcrnoon a portion of a car load
of real tine Georgia bay, raised in Washington coan-
tybyUol R. L- (A artlien, a leading fanner of that
county, and shipped to Messrs. Wm. II, Stark A. Co.,
ofthis city. We learn that Col. Warthen has about
two hundred acres of land well covered with this hay,
which he is busily engage i in gathering and curing
for mai ket.
This is a step iu the right direction. We see no
particular reason why our farmers Cannot make not
only their own forage but enough to supply the mark
et wiih. It only needs a little enterprise aud care.
It inuy look like a small matter to some whose ideas
are absorbed in matters of apparently greater impor
tance, but we are of the opinion that it is these same
small matters that make the farmers great gains in
the end. Let our farmers pay more attention to these
things, aud we venture the opinion that wo shall grad
ually become independent of other markets and event
ually grow licb again.”

A curious and beautiful effect was lately produced
with a block of manufactured ice in the course of ex

was enhanced by the refraction through ihe ice.

1’ine Leaves.—Pine leaves are largely utilized in
Europe They are converted into a kind of wood or
wadding, which is used for upholstery instead of hair.
A kind of fiannel is also made from this fibre, which is
said to be very superior for many hygienic uses, ns
for rheumatism and skin diseases. Vests, drawers,
loose shirts, etc-, are also made. Iu the process of
manufacture an ethcrial oil is also obtained, very use
ful as a solvent, and as a curative ugeut. Gas is also
made from the refuse and used for lighting the manu
factories; or the entire refuse may be pressed into-
the form of bricks, when it becomes a most excellent
substitute for coal.
Hot Water for Founder.—I hnd a horse which
was very badly foundered with grain. He could not
stand for several days, and was swung with a tackle.
I thought this case was hopeless, and considered
him not worth a dollar, but concluded to do
what I could for bis relief. In the first place I
physicked him; then I took a tight, Htrong box, got
bis feet into it, and poured boiling hot water into it as
high as the hair on bis feet, and in ten or fifteen min
utes he was able to stand on his fore logs without the
assistance of the tackle. I kept up this treatment for
thirty-six hours, when he was able to go about and
help himself. In a few days I had his shoes put on
ana in less than a fortnight more he was able to work
as well as ever.
Happy indeed is the man and woman who learn the

having been informed by a friend that a certain indi

in the following amusing style of rebuke “ I say, sir,

Now, sir, although I know I suy ‘I say,’ at every

Indian Spring.—The editor of the
Sparta Times and Planter has been
summering around the Indian Springs,
and in writing to his paper he says
that about ISIS, Genera! McIntosh
had a frame building erected in what
is known now as the McIntosh village,
and this house constitutes a portion of
the “Varner House.” In it the treaty
of 1S22 was made and signed, while
George M. Troupe was Governor,
which gave the whites possession of
this famous watering place. It was
charged that General McIntosh per
mits d himself to be bribed by the
whites, and that he dealt fraudulently
and basely with the Creek nation in
making this treaty. He was, in conse
quence so soon as the result was made
known to them, denounced in harsh
terms by Opotheololla, a chieftain of
great eloquence, courage and influence
among them, who sprinkling the soil
upon his head, placed theeaglo’s feath
er in his cap, mounted one of the pro
minent boulders which fronts the
Varner House, made a declaration to
the chiefs and tribes present, that he
would have McIntosh’s blood to
avenge his treachery. A year or two
afterwards McIntosh was assassinated
in his house at night. His son, Chile
McIntosh, now chief of the nation in
the Indian Territory, barely escaped
with his life. Opotheololla was killed
in the Confederate war, in 1862, at the
battle of Springfield, Mo., having
espoused the cause of the South, and
having carried manyofhis brave war
riors into General Albert Pike’s army.
Leigh Hunt says: Beauty too often
sacrifices to fashion. The spirit of
fashion is not the beautiful, but the
willful; not the graceful, but the fan
tastic; not the superior in the abstract,
but the superior in the worst of all
concretes—the vulgar. It is the vul
garity that can afford to shift and vary
itself, opposed to the vulgarity that
longs to do so, but can not. The high
point of taste and elegance is to be
sought for, not in the most fashionable
circles, but in the best bred; and such
as can dispense with the eternal neces
sity of never being the same thing.

The White Mountain Railway, which is about three
miles along, with grades as steep as two thousand
feet to the mile, would be j.wtthe place fora frightful
accident, but until this week none of any consequence
has happened upon it. As a party was ascending the
mountain during a storm last Tuesday night, in order
to witness the sunrise from the top next morning, an
accident occurred which is thus related in the Spring-
field Republican, by one who was there :
“And now we begin the fearful ascent ot Jacob's
Ladder. The little car, brought nearly to a perpen
dicular ponhiuu bv the acute inclination of the road,
ssems ready to fall backwards upon the engine and
hurl itself into the abyss below', Poised in mid air.
thousands of feet from the bottom of the mountain, in
the very clouds themselves, a storm raging without,
covoicd with a perfect Bea of darkness, our only shel
ter a frail bark, which for all we knew, the slightest
mishap may cause to be dushed into atoms on tbe
dock below, and who will wonder that the stoutest
hearts f. el just a little of fear? But onward we went,
steadily onward and upward, when, just as we were
oongiaiulatiug ourselves that the worst of the journey
must be over, there came, without warning or pre
monition, a loud crash like a thunderbolt shot from a
cloudless ..ky, so sudden ami unexpected was it. Then
there was an instantaneous stoppage of machinery, a
palpable and terrifying lifting, or upward movement
ol tiie car. accompanied by a violent surge down hill,
as though striving to break away and leap from the
track in'o the depths Oelow. then a sudden settling to
place again, an.l theu—all was still! Wins there a
panic? No. Did anybody scream or faint, or try to
jump overboard ? No, far from it. It was all so sud
den, so appalling, so oveipowering, that the effect was
quite the reverse.
Tiie main eccentric, shaft of the engiue was broken
short oil', deranging ail the machinery, and rendering
further progress by rail, either up or down the moun
tain, uiteily impossible. Of course there was a hur
ried and anxious coniullatioii as to what had better be
done, but there was oue thing settled on the instant,
and that was to leave tho car, whatsoever might
come next. Nothing on earth could have kept us
there any lopgcr. It was raining in torrents, blowing
a gale, and blacker than Egyptian darkness, but that
was nothing to the dread uncertainty of whut possibly
might happen if we remained where we were, aud so
gathering up such light baggage as was at hand, out
we went into the rain, into the gale, into the night,
and clung (p the timbers, to the oar and whatever
else could he laid hold of, ns best we could, like so
many drowningrats.
“ When lights were brought and onr position deter
mine I, it was found that the accident had occurred
within a few foot ot the upper end of the first section
of the lad-'er, wiiere the great trestle-work tapers
away, and re-ts upon a sort of abutment formed by
the projecting ledge, very much as a budge rests up-
ou its embankments at either end. The road was
just as sleep here as elsewhere, but our height above
Ihe rocks was much less, being, so to spea r, nearer
the shore, which rendered landing possible; whereas,
had the disaster occurred a few rods either below or
above, we must have remained ail night in the car, or
clinging to the trestle work. As it was, we reached
the ground with no little difficulty aud dunger. Ouce
landed, it was one of three things: to remain where
we were, or go down the mountain to the station, or
to go up the mountain to the Summit House. The
first proposition meant being chilled through and
through and perishing without exertion ; and of the
otliet iwo we chose tne last. Aud so we started.—
Meantime tiie brakemau descended to the station at
Marshfield on a “ slide-board” at the risk of his life,
and telegraphed to the Summit House for guides aud
lauterns to be sent to conduct us up the mountain
but who shall describe the uarrutv escapes lroui pit
falls and precipices, the heights scaled, the depths ex
plored. as chilled and blinded by the driving storm
we clambered, torn and bleeding, over the jagged
rocks, up the steep tides of the bleak mountain ? Or,
how strong men gave out iu utter despaii ; how weak
and sickly women had to be almost curried along by
main strength; how others repeatedly fainted aud
fell, overcome by the terrible exposure aud exertion,
until life itself seemed gone out forever ?
“All we could do was to keep as nearly as possible
to the general bearing of the railroad, and push for
ward over rocks piled literally mountains high. Hav
ing been lost for some time, we tiually struck th
ruuroad. aud followed it up to a small shanty near tip
top of the mountain, occupied by the workmen on the
road, where we arrived entirely exhausted and worn
out. The guides sent down to find as, after having
hunted for several horns in vain, had taken shelter
here Irorn the storm to await events. We were then
conducted iu safety to Ihe Summit House, where we
had a memorable reception.
“Au hour ago our little company were gathered to
getlier for'tbe lait time i and as we stood around the
piano iu I he great parlor and sang ‘Praise God from
whom all blessings tiuw,” the words had a deeper sig
nificance than ever before.”
The Gibberish of the Code.
In posting Col. Waddell, according to formula,
Capt. Phillips used these words: “He is Nideringaud
lost to Los." The Columbus Sun, attempting to ex
plain this gibberish gels off the following good thing
“Los" is a word that we cannot fathom and there
fore it must mean something terrible. When Daniel
O’Conuell had his fuss with a fish woman and de
molished her by saying “She was a hypothenuse and
a parallelogram iu petticoats,” he could have settled
her hash iu an instant by telling her she was “lost to

“Los” is i Gallic word, or rather Erse. It is now
nearly ohseiele, and means a uian without any tail to
his coat. It was once used iu Ireland, when fighting
was more in vogue, it being the custom of those im
petuous people who wen* always anxious to fight any
body, to wear long cout tails, which dragged behind
them tor several yards on the ground, and the person
stepping on the coat tail challenged, as it were, the
coat-tsilee, and the coat-tailee at once turned and belt
ed the coat tailor over the head with a complicated
weapon known as a shillalah. Some of the people Ai
der the infiuence of Christianity ard a dread of sore
heads abbreviated their coat tails so as to avoid be-
_ insulted, and thereat the loug-coat-tail-inen became
indignant aDd called them "Los." But why they call
ed them “Los" I am at this moment at a “Los” to
state. The “Los” people are now legally in the ma
jority, and men wear coat taiis for convenience, aud
not as the means ot kicking up a rumpus.

Liquors That Poison—Archbishop Bayley,ofBal-
limore, says i
“A real inspection of liquore would destroy two-
third-* of onr iuteuiperance. Any real good govern
ment should enforce such an inspection, or stop the
ale altogether, because theohject of government is to
protect the lives of cit'zeus, aud. while it enforces
striugent laws against the sale of decayed vegetables,
it is tar more important that it,should hinder the Buie ol
drinks which poi.-on the blood aud maddened the
brain.”
There is sound sense in the above remarks, but our
intemperate Federal Government collects over fifty
million dollars a year taxes on poisonous whiskey con
sumed in the country. Besides destroying tho consti
tution and shattering the lives of tens of thousands, the
sale ofthis most insidious poison causes probably over
half of all the crimes and family disturbances in the
United States. It is one of the universal, deep-seated
evils which thus tar has proved to be incurable, and
is fostered for purely mercenary motives.—Hashtille

Cotton Seed Mills,—The cotton seen mills of
New Orleans and Memphis consumed, last year,
76,500 tons of sued. The mills of New Orleans alone
exported 1 ,6-jO.UM) gallons of oil and 18,750 tons ot
oil cake and oil meal. Ibis branch of industry is
highly profitable in New Orleans, and we do not see
what prevents it from being carried on to advantage
in other quarters.

Tbe above paragraph reminds us of an anecdote
about Mr. Stephens which Gen. Gordon tells with much

swaddled up from top to toe in an enormous overcoat.

Lndrrrlopcd Vigor.
The feeble and debilitated usually fancy they are ia
a more hopeless condition than they really are. The
resources of nature are not easily exhausted- Even
when strength and appetite fail, when the eyes are
heavy and lustreless, the complexion pallid, the nerves
tremulous, the body attenuated, and the mind depress
ed, there is generally a reserve of latent power be
hind such palpable evidence of weakness. Various
modes of treatment are resorted to by physicians in
the hope of developing and rendering available this
store of sleepiug vitality, but the surest, and indeed
the only thoroughly safe and reliable means of awak
ening the dormant energies of the system is a course
of Hostetler's Stomach Bitters. Electricity, shower
baths, the flesh brush, sea bathing; See., may be well
enough iu their way, as auxiliaries, but they do not
reach the source of the evil. All physical debility pro
ceeds either from h derangement of the functions ofth#
assimilating, secretive ami vital organs, or from a slug-
glisli constitution. In either case, and also in cases
where both causes exist, the Bitters will invariably
produce an immediate aud saintary change in the con
dition of the patient, and eventually effect a complete
cure. Nolie of the dangerous alkaloids, too often ad
ministered as tonics, can be otherwise than deleterious
under such circumstances, and to give mercury is pos
itively criminal. The direct eff ect of the great vege
table specific will be manifested in au improved appe
tite, a more cheerful fruine of mind, a gradual return
of strength, an increase of flesh, and a healthier com-
plection. Meanwhile, however, the constitution, if inert
and feeble, will have bjeu roused and renovated by
the subtile element of iuvigoration contained in the
Bitters. c lrn.

THE PAIN-KILLER manufactured by PERRY
DAVIS Sc SON has won for itself a repu'ation unsur
passed in medicinal preparations. The universality of
the demand for the Pain-Killer is a novel, interesting!
and surprising feature iu the history ofthis medicine.
The Pain-Killer is now regularly sold in large and
steadily increasing quantities, not only to general
agents iu every State and Territory of the Union, and
every Province iu ,British America, but to Buenos
Ayres, Brazil, Uraguay, Peru, Chili, and other South
American States, to the Sandwich Islands, to Cuba
and other West India Islands; to Englaud aud Conti
nental Europe; to Mozambique, Madagascar, Zan
zibar, and other African lands; to Australia, aud Cal
cutta, Rangoon and other places in India. It has also
beeu ceut to China, aud we doubt if there is any for
eign port or any inland city in Africa or Asia, which is
frequented by American and European missionaries,
travelers or traders, iuto which the Pain-Killer has not
been introduced.
The extent ot its usefulness is another great feature
of this reinaikable medicine. It is not only the best
thing ever known, as everybody will confess, for
bruises. Cuts, burns, See., but for dysentery or cholera,
or any sort of bowel complaint, it is a remedy unsur
passed for efficiency and rapidity of aetioD. In the
great cities of British India and the West India Is
lands and other hot climates, it has become the stand
ard medicine for all such complaints, as well as dyspep
sia, liver complaint, and other kindred disorders. For
coughs uud colds, canker, asthma and rheumatic diffi
culties, it ha- been proved by the most abundant and
convincing trials ami testimony, to be an invaluable
medicine. Tiie proprietors are iu possession ot letters
trom persons of the highest character and responsibili
ty, testifying in uiieqmvocal terms to the cures effect
ed and-he satisfactory results produced, in and end
less variety of cases by the use of this great medicine.
Thatthe Pain Killer is deserving of all its proprietors
claim, for it is amply proved by tiie unparalled popu
larity it has attained It is a sure and effective reme
dy. It is sold iu almost every country iu the world,
and is becoming more and more popular every year,
Its healing propel ties have been fully tested, all over

TO TIIE WEST! TO TOE WEST!
Before making your arrangements to follow the advice of the
“thousands who have already gone,” it would be well to consid
er what 1ms been done to muke the journey to your “Homes in
the West” us pleasant aud as free from danger as human skill
and foresight can aecotnplish.
By consolidation and construction a road has been put into
operation on the shortest possible line from Nashville, Tenn.,
to St. Louis, “the future great City of the world.” This line,
the
St. Louis & Southeastern Railway,
has. durinu the past year, earned an enviable reputation by its
smooth track, prompt time, sure connections, and the magnifi
cence of its passeeger equipment. Its trains are made up of
new aud commodious duy cars, provided with the celebrated
Miller coupler and platform, and the Westiughoube air-brake.
It is positively the only line running Pullman Palace Drawing-
Room Sleeping Cars through without change from Nashville to
St. Louis. No other line pretends to offer such advantages,
either in distance, time, or equipment. Why, then, journey by
circuitous routes' Do not he induced to purchase tickets to St.
Louis or the West by any other line, remembering that
The “At. Louis & Aoiitheastern”
is the shortest, cheapest, quickest, best and only line under
management from Nashville to St. Louis, and is fimn 6h to200
miles the shortest to St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Deuve

As an offset to Mr. Hill’s speech to the fanners, the
Savannah Aetrs said:
If losing 50,000 in a few years at planting can quali
fy a man forgiving advice to agriculturists, theu it is
peculiarly appropriate that Farmer Hill should lecture
at county fairs and give the yeomanry of Georgia tbe
benefit of his skill aud experience.
Mr. Hill replies that he lost his #50,000 by following
the fashion aud being all-cotton mad. He endeavored
to make his cottou lauds pay .'or his com and meat and
yield a small additional return. The result was, ac
cording to his own word, that he lost #50,000 in short
order. After his money was gone he began to reason
upon the subject with the restuts announced ia hialate
splendid speech to tarmors.
