MODERN PHILOSOPHY.
By James McArthur.
Sir is Povirtt , Poverty's sir s
Tin is kassiteros; kassiteroa, tin :
Copper is cupruin,and cuprum is copper;
Stopper is cork, and cork is a stopper.
Languges rich in synonyms
(Like “angelic fair ones, * profuse in vktmi)
Are richest in words aptly expressing
Ideas most happy, or most distressing.
Thus PovtRTY, malady most prevailing,
Is another name for that saddest ailing
That ever afflicted pr or mortal creature#—
Sir, in his most repulsive features!
Wealth is the antidote sure of sin.
Whoever wealth’s great height doth win
May muruer. and cheat, and lie and steal,
Yet never (on earth) retribution feel.
Wealth's votaries rush to the Church’s aide,
Uphold its pillars (on Sunday) in pride,
Diverting the sermon artillery afar
On Theology’s abstract phantoms to war!
In our most modern endecalogue,
Poor is a synomym of rogue;
Of foul disgrace the most damnable
Known in “gentility’s” terrene hell !
Better turn Pirate—grow rich—than wilt
In tli' earthly lockup for Poverty built!
By every possible means, get rich—
By fair means, or foul—no matter wliicb !
Such is modern philosophy'* pith :
Old Honesty’s an exploded, myth;
The means, the ends must justify,
Provided your “pile” is sufficiently “high.’
Sin is Poverty—Povertv, sin :
But Time must end, tb’ Etcrral begin ;
And then, ob ! then, shall Poverty rise,
If good, to the loftiest seat ir the b*ie»

Black Spring School.
Editors Union tfc Recorder :
On Friday the 5th inst., I had the
pleasure of attending an examination and
exhibition of the pupils of Black Spring
Academy, taught by Mrs. M. E. Green.
I arrived about one o’clock, just in time
to get a good dinner, such as the good
ladies in that neighborhood know how to
get up. I learned the examination had
progressed finely in the forenoon.
At 2 o’clock the examination was re
sumed in the church before a large and
attentive audience. I soon found that
the accomplished teacher was perfectly
‘at home in the school room, and that the
scholar’s had been thoroughly taught and
could answer any question as far as they
had progressed. The class in Familiar
Science, especially, gave satisfaction,
evincing a proficiency alike creditable to
teacher and pupils. I discovered some
remarkable bright ininds in both boys
and girls. Master Charlie Moran is a
boy that only needs a collegiate educa
tion as a foundation to make a shining
light in Georgia. Masters Nathaniel
Chandler and Eddie Butts are also wor
thy to be mentioned as boys of good
minds. And there are some very pretty
and smart girls—did not learn the names
of all, but the Misses Huffman, Rusgell
and Babb, especially attracted my atten
tion. They will, some day, with proper
advantages make good and intelligent
women.
The Exhibition at night was well at
tended, the church being crowded with
visitors. The exercises consisted of de
clamation, compositions, tableaux and di
alogues—all good—audience well enter
tained. Delightful music was furnished
by Dr. and Mrs. J. P Robson and others
on the piano and violins, which I must
say was rather lively in a house of wor
ship. I cannot say there is any harm or
sin in it, bnt then I never like to feel like
dancing in the church.
At the close of the examination in the
afternoon, Dr. J. P. Robson addressed
the patrons and scholars of the school on
the great importance of education, and
acquitted himself with credit. He first
urged the patrons and all lovers of edu
cation to have concert of action and sup
port and encourage good schools in this
neighborhood, and thereby do a great
work. Some parents may think they
have gotten along without education and
their children can do the same, but all
must feel the want of it. He said we
should give our children that which noth
ing but death can take from them. He
urged the scholars to improve every op
portunity. Their lesson should lie ‘know
thyself.’ It behooves you to always man
age your own thoughts, some encourage,
some reject; dismiss from your minds
all malicious or evil thoughts, consult good
authois and keep good company; love
your neighbors as yourselves; continue
to 6tudy, for the future government of
our country will some day be on your
shoulders. He also gave much other
good advice.
Mrs. Green will resume her school oa
the 6th of July, and none should lose
so good an opportunity to have their
children taught.

The long list of sinecures
was shown to him, and he directed the
clerk to strike every name off the pay
roll immediately. Eighteen females were
found to be among the number drawing
pay from the department, and the ap
pointment clerk went so far as to say
that they did not even take the trouble to
call for their salary, that it had to be sent
to them regularly, and that he had no
information that they ever did a cent’s
worth of work in return, The new Sec
retary intends also to put a stop to many
other abuses, such as clerks talking Euro
pe®® trips with their families at govern
ment expense, on imaginary inspections
or business, and of absenting themselves
from their desks, in some cases as much
as three-fourths of the time.”
That such . things should ever have
been allowed is ample confirmation of
all the Democratic party has charged as
•i.i . • rank corruption and profligacy
with which that department reeked under
Radical management. One of the stron
gest reasons the Radicals have for pre
venting the Democracy from taking
possession of the government is the light
they will let in on the dark places at
Washington. YVe expect that work to
commence on the 5th of March 4877, but
we fear the Radicals will steal or burn
most of the records before they take
ffight They dare not let the people
know even half the iniquity they have
piactised since they stole into power in
1861.—Macon Telegraph.

Hope for Massachusetts.—The specta
cle of Massachusetts with a Democratic
Governor would cause many an old poli
tici&n to rub his eyes with wonder, and
yet to judge from the tone of the State
press there is a possibility of such an
occurrence. The Boston *Rost has ex
pressed its hopes of such result, and the
Boston Journal has made fun of it for
doing so, but so cautious a journal as the
Springfield Republican hints pretty
broadly that the Democratic prospects
are not to be laughed down so easily. It
acknowledges that prophesying is a vain
business, especially this year, but at the
same time thinks “if people will indulge
in vaticination, over Massachusetts poli
ties they might as well be saving that
Governor Talbot will be the Republican
nominee, and ‘Jack’Adams the Democrat
ic, and that the latter will be elected
Talbot is quite likely to so act as to force
the Republicans to take him. YVill the
Democrats have the sense to take the
man who can beat him ?”
How They Talk.
As illustrative of the spirit of the 11c
gro leaders in regard to the social equal
ity bill, we print the following from a
recent speech delivered at Baltimore by
John M. Langston, an Ohio darkey who
has something to do with a negro school
or college at Washington city. He said:
“We want the Civil Rights bill passed
and enforced, and in the name of our
dead soldiers we demand its passage.
YVe demand that our wives and daugh
ters sliall ride in what veliiclesthey please
so long as they pay for the privilege. YVe
demand that our children shall be admit
ted to the common schools of the coun
try, and I want it shown to inflated wlfite
men that the colored man’s blood is not
inferior to the white man’s blood. We
demand, in the name of our dead colored
soldiers, that there be given to us com
plete equality everywhere. Then we will
exercise our judgment where we will go,
when we will go, and how far we sliall
go, if we are able to beer the expense.
This is modest, certainly. But Lang
ston’s white allies will have to stand the
racket. Cuffee has them by the throat
and will shake them into submission if
they dare refuse him all he asks. They
may bamboosle him for a time—as they
are going to do by letting “civil rights”
‘slide” this session of Congress—but lie
will know the reason why when Congress
reassembles.
ffrut'i Financial Coup dBtat.
President Grant’s remarkable financial
manifesto seems to have taken every
body, outside of his own personal cli
que, lay surprise. In Washington, we are
told, it has excited the indignation of
the advocates of financial relief, who res
g&rd the movement as an undignified and
underhanded trick on the part of Grant
and his ring to prevent any adjustment
of the currency question at this session.
Some of the leading journals look upon
it as ft sort of coup d'etat, the object of
which, aa well as its paternity, is involved
in mystery. The New York Bulletin,
commenting on what it calls “the Presi
dent’s Financial Brocheur,” says; “Com
ing at this period, when the time for
Congressional discussion of the question
is nearly gone, and when a measure is
apparently on the point of completion
by a joint committee, the President s
announcement of a new financial depart
ture strikes one rather oddly. The Presi
dent is a very recent convert to his scheme,
having in none of his numerous allusions
to this, his pet question, made the rex
motest allusion to the repeal of the legal,
tender act. It would be quite interesting
to know who has so easily made a con
quest over the Presidents inflexible
opinions, and what has made our reticent
General so willing to announce his new
views through such a singular back-door
method as he has adopted. YY’e can
hardly attribute his act to any political
motive; for he could not have made a
proposal more likely to bring into disre-
bute what financial reputation he may
have acquired. He cannot have hoped
to remedy the discouragement caused by
the incompetent handling of the subject
in Congress; for he could have taken no
more effectual method of unsettling con
fidence in all departments of business.
That he should have thus remarkably re
laxed his usual reticence is more singu
lar from the fact that his views are so lit
tle fixed that he declares “a full discus
sion might shake my own faith in the.
details of any plan I might propose.” Al
together, there is a great deal about the
m thod, the occasion and the matter of
this brochure that is very mysterious.
The President knows his purpose; the
public can only be curious about it; all
they certainly know is that it has added
another element of doubt and embarass-
ment to the already muddled financial
situation.”
it is now generally understood that
Senator Jones, the Nevada millionaire,
inspired tbe views contained in the “mem
orandum,” and leading Republican Sena
tors oomplain that in making that Sena
tor the medium of announcing his finan
cial views to the country, the President
haa ftotonljr departed from time honored
r ^ag% -but treated Congress with dis
respect- Many of the Western members
are in favor of passing a compromise bid
which will call a veto from the President.
They are anxious that he shall put him-,
self officially on the record on the line
of the Jones “memorandum, " end declare
their willingness to go before the country
in the approaching fall election on that
insna Savannah Morning News.
Greeley was another Ben Franklin. Ray
mond was a student of Edmund Burke,
und, so far as possible, made that wondtr-
fui man his model. A striking proof of
this is found in the fact that the onlv
time that he ever appeared before the
public as a lecturer his subject was ’Ed
mund Burke.’ The late editor of the Her
ald was in many points more unlike anv
foregoing character than any man I have
ever heard of, and yet he was, nncon
sciously, a reproduction of Dean Swift.
I mean that if Swift had been an editor,
he would have been just such a one os
Bennett was. There was in each that
caustic satire, that pungency of para
graph, and that utter indifference to all
but themselves, which resulted in a sel
fishness which the community seemed to
forgive, because it was so wonderful.
Swift lived at a time when the press could
hardly be said to exist, and yet lie made
himself a power though the printed page.
Could he have had a modem newspaper
he would have been the Satanic editor of
his day. Both Swift and Bennett were
bred to the church. The latter dropped
his priestly purposes at an early age
and Swift retained his, but the profession
was only a burden. His clerical life was
much of the kind which might have been
expected of Bennett had the plan of his
parents been carried out. The very close
of life bore in each a similarity. Bennett
sank into senility and second childhood
several years before liis death. Swift felt
the approach of such a fate before it oc
curred, and spoke of himself ‘dying like
a tree, at the top.’ Johnson portrays the
last condition of the great satirist in lines
like these:

Tough on the Fish.
A devout clergyman sought every op
portunity to impress upon the mind of
his son the feet that God takes care of all
His creatures; that the falling sparrow at
tracts His attention, and that His loving
kindness is over all His works. Happen
ing, one day, to see a crane wading in
quest of fool, the good man pointed out
to his son the perfect adaptation of the
crane to get his living in that manner.
"See,” said he, “how his legs are formed
for wading! What a long slender bill he
lias ! Observe how nicely he folds his
feet when putting them in or drawing
them out of the water ! He does not
cause the slightest ripple ! He is thus
enabled to approach the fish without giving
them any notice of his arrival. “My son,’
said he, “it is impossible to look at that
bird without recognizing the goodness of
God in thus providing the means of sub
sistence.” “Y'es," replied the boy, “I think
I see the goodness of God, at least so
far as the crane is concerned; but after
all. father, don’t you think the arrange
ment a little tough on the fish?”
Bxeitement in French Affairs.
Paris, June 12-—A large and excited
crowd assembled at the Western depot
to-day, at the time for the departure
of the deputies for Versailles. Gambetta
was greeted with cheers and hisses. The
police attempted to disperse the throng,
handling them roughly in some instances.
M. Lafonre, a deputy of the left, was ar
rested, but subsequently released. A tu
mult arose, and Gambetta was again in
sulted, and the police cleared the railway
station, and occupied it the entire after
noon.
“In the Assembly M. Bozedemanded an
inquiry into these riotous proceedings,
which the government promised to in
stitute on the return of the deputies to
Y'ersaille8. Count Steroix struck Gam
betta across the face with a stick, for
which he was promptly arrested. During
the session this afternoon the excitement
among themselves became intense, and
parliamentary business was much ims
peded. The Municipal Council of Bor
deaux has lieen suspended for having per
mitted public demonstrations of hostility
to the government.
-We should be thankful for our
homes; comfortable homes! Our happi
ness there is not dependent on tbe bril
liancy of the wall paper, or the beauty of
the chandeliers. There is no more hap
piness now in the large house than there
was in the three small apartments of
many days ago Our homes are our
castles of refuge” from the conflicts and
turmoils of our daily life in the world.
Praise God, day and night for a comfort
able home.
The Crops.
Are growing rapidly, and promise an
abundant harvest—so far as corn is con
cerned, which is now tasseling generally,
and will soon be in the silk. Cotton is

We may add to the promising crops,
sugar-cane, potatoes and peas. All of

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY!
Is now offered to all those who need Dry Goods, and have
The Cash to Pay for Them,
AT THE
Augusta Store.'
VINEGAR B1TJERS
Dr. J. YY alker's California Vin
egar Bitters are n jmrdy Vegetable
We have now io tock, the prettiest and largest assortment ot DRY GOODS it has eY er been our fortune
to purchase, and paying
cash von wh.it wm: «m,
we are not compelled to confine ourselves to a FEYY HOUSES that sell goods at
High Prices on Credit,
but we buy from all the close CASH HOUSES iu the country, thus getting goods
at the lowest prices, and selling as we do ^ © H CAS fk ■ we aro
EkkBliRD and BET EEM11EB to sell our Goods lower tlian
any House in Miliedgeville. For the benefit of those who wish to S A\ ki
BOkEY we quote a few prices—so they may see where to spend it to their
own individual advantage:
preparation, made chiefly from the native
herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sier
ra Nevada mountains of California, the
medicinal properties of which are extract
ed therefrom without the use of Alcohol.
The question ia almost daily asked, “What
is the cause of the unparalleled success of
Vixboab Bittebs?” Our answer is, that
they remove the cause of disease, and the
patient recovers his health. They are the
great blood purifier and a life-giving prin
ciple, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of die system. Never before in the history
of the world has a medicine been com
pounded possessing the remarkable qual
ities of VrNEGAB Biitebs iu healing the sick
of every disease man is heir to. They are a
gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, reliev
ing Congestion or Inflammation of the
Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Dis
eases.
If men will enioy good health, let
them use Yineoab Bittebs as a medicine,
and avoid the use of alcoholic stimulants
•n every form.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
nnwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and vital organs wasted beyond repair.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vul
gar Bittebs the most wonderful Invigor-
ant that ever sustained the sinking system.
Bilious, Remittent, and Inter
mittent revel’s, which are so prevalent
in the valleys of our great rivers through
out the United States, especially those of
the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois,
Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red,
Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Ala
bama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James,
and many others, with their vast tribu
taries, throughout our entire country dur
ing the Summer and Autumn, and remark
ably so during seasons of unusual heat and
dryness, are invariably accompanied by ex
tensive derangements of the stomach and
liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, everting a powerful
influence upon these various organs, is
essentially necessary. There is no cathar
tic for the purpose equal to Dn. J. YValkeb’s
Vinegab Bittebs, as they will speedily re
move the dark-colored viscid matter with
which the bowels are loaded, at the same
time stimulating the secretions of the
liver, and generally restoring the healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache,Pain in the Shoulders,Coughs, Tight
ness of the Chest, Dizziness, Soar Eructa
tions of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the
Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of th«
Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain
in the region of the Kidneys, and u hun
dred other painful symptoms, are the off
springs cf Dyspepsia. One bottle will
prove a better guarantee of its merits than
a length’’ advertisement.

Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affec
tions, Old Si res, Eruptions of the Skin,
Sore Eyes, t- c., etc. In these, as iu all
other constitutional Diseases, YValkeb’s
Vinegab Bittebs have shown their great
curative powers in the most obstinate and
intractable cases.
For Inflammatory find Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent
and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the
Blood, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, these
Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are
caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Ty*x:-setters, Gold-beaters, and
Miners, as they advance in life, are sub
ject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard
against this, take a dose of YValkeb's
Vinegab Bittebs occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions,Tetter,
Salt Rheum, Bl cites, Spots, Pimples,
Pus! tiles, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms,
Sca d Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scuria, Discolorations of the Uiun, Humors
and Disease* of the Skin of whatever name
or nature, are literally dug up and carried
ont of the system in a short time by the
use of these Bitters.
fin - Tape, and other YY'onnsJurk-
i ug ui i he system of so man' housands, are
effectually destroyed an-’ removed. No
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no
anthelm ini tics, will free the system from
worms like these Bitters,
For Female Uomplaii ts, in young
o • e’d, married or single, at the dawn of
wo manhood or the torn of life, these Tonic
Bitters display so decided an influence
that improvement is soon perceptible.
Jaundice.—In alt cases of jaundice,
rest assured that your liver is not doing it*
work. The only sensible treatment is to
promote the ejeretion of the bile and
favor its removal. For this purpose use
Vinboab BrrntBs.
Cleanse the Titrated Blood when
ever you find its impurities bursting
through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions,
or Soros; cleanse it when yon find it ob
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse
it when it is foul; your feelings will tell
▼ou when. Keep the blood pure, and the
health of the system will follow.
