Dr.
Tucker Accepts the Chancellor
ship.
Col. Wm. L. Mitchell, Secretary of the
Board of Trustees of the University of
Georgia:
Sir : On the 8th instant I ha<f the hon
or to receive from you an official commu
nication informing me that I had been
duly elected Chancellor of the University
Of Georgia.
By return mail I acknowledged the re
ceipt of your letter, and stated that I
would prefer not to signify my accep
tance or non-acceptance of tlio position
tendered me, until after conference with
the resident trustees, who constitute, as
I have since learned, what is known as
the prudential committee.
By your kindness, and at my request,
that committee was convened on Wednes
day last; and having had a full and free
consultation with them, and having been
assured by each of them that there is no
known reason why I should not accept
the proffered trust, and that there is eve
ry reason why I should, and that my ad
ministration will, without doubt, be bub
tained by every member of the Board of
Trustees so long as it proves to be wor
thy of support, I am now prepared to
■ay that I accept the office of Chancellor
of the University of Georgia. I may
add that I do this with the more satisfac
tion and confidence in view of the cordial
greeting with which I was honored by ev
ery member of the Faculty present in
Athens during my late visit.
Trusting not to myself, but looking to
Heaven for wisdom, grace and strength
to fit me for the high responsibilities de
volving on me, and hoping that when I
retire from office I may leave a record
honorable to myself, satisfactory to the
friends of the University, and, above all,
pleasing to GW.
I am, sir, with the highest respect, your
obedient servant,
Henry H. Tucker.

Hereditary Drunkenness.
Not more pitiful are the approaches of
of madness than are the well understood
symptoms which signify to the heredi
tary drunkard the hour of his inherited
passions. I know in Texas a young man
who was heir to such a woful heritage.
He was, physically, one of the handsomest
of men, and possessed of great and vail
ed talents, which he had carefully culti
vated. Moreover, he had served his conn.- 4
try with distinguished bravery; and wad
then holding a high position of trust and
honor. But with a regularity that was
terrible, there came to him—no matter
where lie was, over his ledger, in the
church, by tho side of tho victim he lov
ed—a craving for brandy that possessed
him like a demon, and drove him forth
among his fellows. With set lips and
despairing faco he would deliver to a
friend the keys of his office and betake
himself to his room—not as men go to
e carousal, but as they go to a fearful
reckoning—and for two or three days
Acink in sullen silence till the craving was
appeased. Some one was one day prais
ing, in his presence, his vast stores of acc
quired information and his delicate fancy
an artist “Yeti shall die like a brute,”
he said sadly, and the desjiairing look of
a hunted animal came into his eyes as he
added: “My father—died drunk—my
mother—God forgive her!—my grand
fether shot himself in delirinm tremens—
yon know, boys, how poor Patrick died—
it will be the same with me.” His pro
phecy was too soon fulfilled.—Science of

Bow Thimbles are Made.
The manufacture of thimbles is very
simple, but singularly interesting. Coin
silver is mostly used, and is obtained by
purchasing coin dollars. Hence it hap
pens that the profits of the business are
affected instantaneously by all the varia
tions in the nation's greenback promises
4o pay. The first operation strikes a no-
vioe as almost wicked, for it is nothing
else than putting a lot of bright silver
dollars, fresh from the mint, into dirty
crucibles, and melting throw them into
■olid ingots. They are rolled out to the
required thickness, and cut by a stamp
into circular pieces of any required size,
A solid metal bar of the size of the inside
of the intended thimble moved by power
ful machinery up and down in a bottom
less mould of the outside of the same
thimble, bends the circular disks into the
thimble shape as fast as they can be plac
ed nnder the descending bar. Once in
shape, the work of brightening, polishing
and decorating is done upon a lathe.
First, the blank form is fitted upon a ra
pidly-revolving rod. A slight touch of a
sharp chisel takes a thin shaving from the
end, another does the same on the side,
and the third rounds of the rim. A round
steel rod, dipped in oil and pressed upon
the surface, gives it a lustrous polish.
Then a little revolving steel wheel, whose
edge is raised ornament, held against
the revolving blank, prints that ornament
juat outside the rim. A second wheel
prints a different ornament around the
center, while a third wheel with sharp
makes the indentations on the
’ half and end of the thimble. The in
ride is brightened and polished in a simi
lar way, the thimble being held in a revol
ving mold. All that remains to be done
la to boil the completed timbles in soap
suds to remove the oil, brush tfasm up
them for the trade.
“There is more expression than origin
ality in that term employed by Mr. Beech
er, and which even Western people seem
to think so funny,” said a wanderer from
the Connecticut valley, this morning,
“What do yon mean ?” asked the Dis
patch reporter.
“Why I mean just this, every Connect
icut farmer’s boy knows ‘nest-hiding’ as
one of the every day expressions of the
farm. It meant well enough in its origi
nal use. A favorite trick with boarding
school boys and farmers' sons is to cap
ture a hen upon the first indication of the
“setting fever” and rush her x>ff to some
hidden nook where she is placed upon
the proceeds of some plundered nests.
Three weeks after she unexpectedly makes
her appearance with a brood about her,
and then there is great wonderment about
the farmhouse, and the good woman is
puzzled to explain where and how the
hen came by the chickens. This was a
common trick when Beecher was a boy,
and is now in Connecticut. The impure
have frequently used the expression in
referring to intrigues and liaisons, and
the term seems to have been Well used by
Beecher.
A Bandy Garden Boiler.
Take a joint of stovepipe, 6, 7, or 8
inches in diameter; set one end upon an
inch board, and with a scratch-awl or pen
cil mark around on the inside; reverse
the pipe and mark the other end. Then
with a pair of compasses find the centre
of these two wheels, and strike around
their circumference, allowing tor the iron.
Saw or cut them true and round ; bore a
hole with a bit in their centres, to receive
shaft of half-inch round iron about
three inches longer than the length of
pipe. Now fit in one of these heads, and
upset the sheet-iron pipe over it enough
to hold it firmly in place. Put the shaft
in and set the whole end on the ground,
taking care that the shaft stands true;
and lastly put, in a quart or two of dry
sand, and tap it hard with a suitable
rammer repeating the operation till the
pipe is full to within one inch of the top.
Fit in the other head with the shaft in the
place; upset the iron over it as before,
and you have a roller as serviceable as one
of all iron, and at almost no cost. To fit it
for use, make a box of inch stuff; fit a han
die to it, sloping at an angel of 20 degrees
from its bottom board; put a cross head
to the end of it, and for a garden or walk
roller this cannot be beaten. If wanted
heavier, it can be loaden with brickbats
or earth ; and for wheeling stones or rubs
bish off garden or lawn or newly plowed
or spaded grounds, it will be pronounced
by all who try it “tip-top.” Any man or
boy who can U3e a saw, plane and ham
mer, can make one in a few horns, and
with decent care it will last as many years.

Buttermilk and Scurvy.
The Colorado Agriculturist says: A
correspondent informs us that he finds
buttermilk to be an almost unfailing cure
for scurvy in hogs. To prove the feet,
among other cases which have come
nnder his notice, he says he owns several
pigs which a few weeks since, were suffer
ing terribly from the efiects of the
disease, and that a speedy cure was effec
ted by merely pouring tho buttermilk
over them a few times in the pen. Hea

INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE ON
HEALTH.
Statistics have been gathered from the
last two census reports of the United
States (1860 and 1870) which reveal a
great amount of information respecting
healthfulness of the different states. The
principle diseases showing effects of cli
mate are consumption and cancer, which
prevail in the same regions and are simi
larly affected. There 6eems to be two
definite laws governing these disea
ses.
First: These two diseases are most
abundant near the sea and diminish as
you recede from it-
Second: At equal distances from the
sea they prevail most at the north and
diminish as you go south.
For example, if you begin at Massa
chusetts and go westward, the proportion
of deaths from consumption to deaths
from all causes regularly diminishes as
you recede from the Atlantic. Here are
the figures : Deaths from consumption
in Massachusetts, 25 per cent. ; New
York, 20 per cent.; Ohio, 16 per cent;
Indiania. 14 per cent.; Illinois, 11 per
cent.; Missouri, 9 per cent.; Kansas, 8
per cent ; Colorado, 8 per cent.; Utah,
6 per cent.; and then, if yon go down to
California, it increases again to 14 per
cent., on account of the proximity of the
Pacific Ocean.
A similar decrease is observed if we go
from north to south, as follows: Michi
gan, 16 per cent; Indiana, 14 per cent;
Kentucky, 14 per cent; Tennessee, 12
per cent.; Alabama, 6 per cent
From this it follows that the best re
sort for a consumptive or cancer patient
is some point which is at the same time
as far south and as far from the sea as
possible. Such a place is New Mexico,
where the deaths from consumption are
only 3 per cent.; or Arknnsas, where they
are 5 per cent.; while in cold and seagirt
New England they are 25 per cent Prob
ably the uplands of Old Mexico would do
still better. Colorado, having a cool,
dry, enjoyable climate and excellent con
veniences for living, would be perhaps
the very best of all the w estern territories
for a place of residence. The average of
8 per cent in Colorado is too. high, and
is due to the deaths of invalids who have
just come from abroad, and not to the
deaths of those who have been perma
nent residents of some years.
Passing northward, we find Minneso
ta ranking largest in proportion of deaths.
This is due not to the climate itself, but
the constant influx of invalids too far gone
in disease to recover. The best places in
the country are as follows: New Mexico,
3 per cent. ; Arkansas, 5 per cent; Flori
da, 6 per cent ; Georgia, 5 per cent;
South Carolina, 5 per cent; Utah, 6 per
cent; and Colorado, 8 per cent
The census of 1870, as compared with
the one taken ten years before, showB a
considerable increase of consumption in
the southern states and a diminution of it
at the north. This is probably due to
the moving of invalids southward in
search of health, which only a part of
them succeed in attaining.
Daughter Analyzed-
Most of the philosophers who have set
to work to define mental sensations in
sist that laughter supposes a feeling of
superiority in the laugher at; but they
seem to overlook the great distinction
between laughing at and laughing with
any one. Doubtless a feeling of con
tempt often raises a laugh, and the
absurdities of men and women ore a con
stant food for laughter; but humorists
often laugh at themselves. Nothing will
illustrate better the absurdity of the
wholesale statement that langhter implies
contempt than Charles Lamb’s relation
to Coleridge. He constantly laughed
and joked at the preaching of the phi
losopher, but he reverenced his friend of
fifty years, and looked up to him with
childish love. A ‘Westminster Reviewer’
defines the cause of langhter as the lep-
resentation of objects with qualities
opposite of their own ; but all incongrui
ties do not cause langhter.—Ludicrous
incongruity is opposed to dignity, and
this is why those who have little wisdom
to fall back upon hate a laugh. Lord
Bolingbroke said that gravity is the very
essence of imposture; and Joe Miller is
tho authority for the assertion that as the
gravest beast is an ass, the gravest bird
is an owl, and the gravest fish is an oys
ter, so that the gravest man is a fool.
If any one is inclined to doubt Joe Mil
ler’s dictum, we can corroborate it by the
authority of Plato, who, when indulging
in the gayety of his heart, used sometimes
to say, ‘Silence, my friend! Let us be
wise now; here is a fool coming.’ Lord
Chesterfield was no fool, and he disappro
ved of laughter; but he allowed his son
to smile, for he did not advocate gravity.
He considered laughter as ill-bred, not
only on account of the disagreeable noise,
but because of the shocking distortion
of the face that it occasions!’ It is happy
for the world that such false notions are
not now received. Some suppose that
laughter is caused by novelty and sur
prise, and a French philosopher,
accounting for the fact that, although we
are told our Lord wept, we never hear
that he laughed, suggests to us the rea
son that nothing was new to him. Al
though this is good enough as a theory,
it is grounded upon a mistaken idea of
laughter, for we often laugh on the re
collection of a witticism.—Nevertheless,
surprise is a material element of laughter,
although it is not confined to that emo
tion: It has been w ell observed that ‘the
only constant effect that follows on an
original striking comparison is a shock of
agreeable surprise ; it is as if a partition
wall in our intellect w r as sullenly blown
out—two things formerly strange to one
another have flashed together.’

Nebraska has all at once sprang into a
first-class wheat growing State. In 1869,
when the culture appears to have com
menced, her total product of wheat was
but 148,867 bushels; in 1873, a poor year
for agriculture, she raised 3,000,000 bush
els. The wheat is also in very good fe
vor, ranks only second to California in
bread-making qualities, and in the St.
Louis and Chicago markets take the land

ArtistModels.
There is about 1,000 models in Paris,
who go regularly round to painters’ and
sculptors’ studios asking for work. Their
names, addresses and good points are
inscribed in the artist’s reference book,
and when he wants them he sends for
them. They aro mostly Italians, and
there is a great deal of jealousy among
them.
Tho prices of models in Paris are about
double the price of models in Rome, and
the cost of models is one of the few ad
vantages which Italy has over France
Male and female models in Paris receive
the same rate of payment. It is fixed at
five francs a sitting for a model of the
best class, and inferior models charge one
franc an hour. They often strike for
higher wages, but collapse in about two
days, begging earnestly for work again,
with that half pathetic, half ludicrous
power of entreaty which is peculiar to
the southern races. There are not a few
highly respectable models. One is a
physician’s daughter, who supports a
family of thirteen persons by permitting
the chastened eyes of art to gaze upon
her exquisite loveliness and to make it
immortal; one is an English watchmaker,
a very worthy man. But it is the cus
tom of all professions in our day to allow
middlemen to pilfer a greater part of
their earnings, and therefore, of course, a
set of greedy farmers of models is in
existence. The model fagpers often have
differences with a magistrate, for they
are in the habit of enticing children from
home and pocketing their gains. When
they are caught dealing sharply with a
minor the law interferes and gives them
some trouble. The model farmers usual
ly pay $40 a year to each of their live
stock, while a good model may easily
gain $3 a day in Paris.
AT THE VATICAN.
A correspondent from Rome describes
a visit to the Vatican : “The gorgeous
Swiss Guards, who look like nothing else
nnder heaven, and are probably the most
showy soldiers on the face of the globe,
filed back at our approach like a shatter
ed rainbow, and we were immediately lost
in the labyrinths of the palace. W’e
climbed stairs that seemed cut out of
solid marble quarries, for there was noth
ing to be seen but marble in some shape
or other. Again and again we were met
and passed by guards; priests and monks
in robes of many fashions and colors,
pass us; the place was alive with people,
and yet none of them seemed familiar to
my eyes. We entered one room, passed
into others, all of them having their se
parate uses and most of them in charge
of officers, who looked as little like the
last lot as possible. Finally we came
to a court, one of the twenty, where were
carriages, and footmen in livery, but how
they ever found their way thither I dare
not conjecture. Beyond the court the
chambers were more splendid than the
last. New guards and pages, in new
uniforms and liveries, moved to and fro
through the endless suites of rooms, and
kept everything in a gentle state of com
motion. Here we left our cloaks and
hats. Here we took our rosaries and
tokens in hand, and pressed from one
chamber to another, perhaps waiting a
few moments in each room while my com
panion spoke to gentlemen in waiting,
clothed in crimson satin and looking very
impressive indeed. Rooms that were
frescoed to the very floors finally gave
place to rooms hung with splendid tape
stries of inestimable value. It began to
look like business. The chambers were
heated with the great brazen pots of
coals, such as one meets with in all the
Italian galleries and in the churches,
when the churches are heated at all.
These braziers look a little heathenish,
and are none the less interesting for that
reason. They are big enough for human
sacrifices, some of them, but they are sel
dom hot enough to hurt.”

Aggravated C
tor Shoots the
Daughter.
Indianapolis, August 20.—George C.
Harding, editor and proprietor of the In
dianapolis Herald, shot H. Moritz, a
prominent merchant in this city, af
ternoon, under the following circum
stances: These gentlemen have been
warm friends, and very intimate in their
social relations. Moritz, who is a Hebrew,
about forty years old and married, took
advantage of this intimacy, and succeed
ed in seducing the daughter of Mr. Hard
in?; a young lady o? about eighteen
This seduction was accomplished in
March last, and improper relations have
been maintained by the parties since that
time. The young lady was brought to a
confession of these facts by her father
last evening, and overwhelmed with re
morse and shame, sought to take her own
life by taking opium, and, it is thought,
repeating the dose this morning about
one o’clock. This afternoon, Mr. Hard
ing went in search of a physician, and
while passing down the street, met
Moritz, and immediately fired at him,
shooting five times, and then passed on
down the street. Mr. Moritz was taken
to his residence, where a medical examin
ation proved that but two of the shots had
hit him, one shattering the left elbow and
the other passing directly through the
long and lodging in the chest. It is
thought the latter will prove fetal, as he
spit blood quite freely for some time, but
at this hour, 10 o'clock, he is resting
quietly, and it is thought, will recover.
Miss Harding died about 3 o’clock this
afternoon. Mr. Harding was admitted
to bail on $10,000 bond this evening to
await the result of Moritz’s wounds-
The public feeling is very strong in sym
pathy with Mr. Holding. The wife of
Mr. Harding, and step-mother of the
daughter, has confessed since the shoot
ing that Moritz had also made improper
proposals to her within a short time.
Moritz denies the char ges marie by Miss
Harding on her deathbed, and says as
soon as lie is able he w ill prove his inno
cence. His statement is not very gen
erally believed, as it is not the first case
of the kind in which he has played the
same role, and suit is now pending in
which he is charged with the same crime.
The Third District.
Col. Jack Brown Nominated for Congress
by the Radicals.
ATLANTA ADVERTISEMENTS.
Americcs, Ga., August 22, 1874.
To the Editors of the Atlanta Herald-.
I wrote you the other day that Col.
Jack Brown would either quit the race
or run on tho “nigger” ticket for Con
gress, and I was right. The negroes and
scalawags had their Convention here to
day, and nominated the gentleman as
their candidate. Tis a good thing for
the Democrats, for as an independent he
would probably have gotton a few strag
gling votes; but, as the regular nominee
of the nigger rights party, he will get
none at all from the white people, and by
white people I refer not to color but prin
ciple.
I don’t know whether the Colonel had
to swallow Civil Rights or not in order to
obtain the nomination, but don’t believe
he would so far demean himself even to
get to Congress. So much for the Colo
nel’s unswerving fidelity to principle as
set forth so boldly in his card; and so
much for his pretended devotion to what
ho calls the old “Jeffersonian Democra
cy.”
‘ May kind fete save us from many such
Democrats!
The Convention didn’t nominate a tick
et for the Legislature nor for the Senate.
I think their idea is for somebody (not
known to the Democrats as yet) to run
on the independent ticket, but with a se
cret understanding that they are to be
the candidates for the Rads.
Since writing the above, I have learned
that Capt. H. L. French was nominated
for the Senate.
We have had no rain yet. Farmers

A Romantic Dover Pardoned.
In July, 1871, Miss Emma C. Horn
committed suicido in Lawrence, Massa
chusetts, because her parents objected to
her marrying William R. Scott, a young
man to whom she was greatly attached,
and who had been paying attention to
her for about two years. It was agreed
between them that they should end their
troubles by suicide. Scott having pur
chased two ounces of arsenic, they both
swallowed a dose and repaired to Pros
pect Hill to await results, and in each
other’s arms die a romantic death. Re
maining all night, the girl gradually sunk
away, while Scott threw off the effects of
the poison and recovered. They were
found in the morning, the girl’s father
notified, and both parties were taken to
Horn’s residence, where the girl died in
a short time. All that was known about
the affair was the story of Scott, except
the dying assertion of Emma, who said
her lover was not to blame for her death.
Marshal Bachelder arrested Scott on the
theory that he was an accomplice in procur
ing her death. At the trial before the Super
ior Court it appeared the arrest was war
ranted, the court finding Scott guilty
from the fact that he 'procured the poi
son and assisted in administering the same.
The prisoner was sentenced to a term of
six years’ imprisonment. But half this
sentence has been served, and on account
of good behavior since his incarceration
Scott has received a full pardon from the
Governor and Council. The Lawrence
1 merican says that the pisoner was a
quiet and inoffensive man, but his weak
ness and silly ideas of romance and love
led to the destruction of a beautiful
young woman, who was beloved and re
spected by her friends and acquaintances.

Holmes' Liniment,
—OR—
THE MOTHER’S RELIEF.
T his liniment when used daily for
two or three week before confinement, produces a
wonderful effect—Causing a very eaey and quick labor
with comparatively little pain, and leaves the mother
in a condition to recover qnickly, or in other words to
have a good getting np. Under its use labor will not
ordinarily occupy one fourth of the usual time, and the
lady will not suffer one-tenth part of the pain usually
felt. It is prepared by Dr. J.S. HOLMES, who has
used it with great success in alarge practice for thirty
years- It has been used by many ladies in this State,
and has given satisfaction in oil cases. For sale by
