A small Dwelling House with two rooms and a piazza, Enquire at this of HOW TOUR BURGLIR WORKS. His Tools and His Obstacles. Ilovr loNnbfliaa. The San Erancisco Call thus treats of a subject which has a degree of interest in those hard times when thieves have so multiplied : Nearly every day we take up our mom mg paper now, and read of some unfor tunate having beon burglarized. Crime is a disease, aud like many other diseases appears to be epidemical. The numer ous successes attained by the gentleman of the “pick’’ and ‘jimmy’ seem to have given the ruffians the greatest confidence in their powers, and no longer satisfied with “cleaning out” the peaceful citizen they have actually “gone through” the terrible police sergeant. To any one acquainted with the skill and audacity of the class of men who take to house-break ing for a living, it is a matter of surprise not that so many burglaries are commit ted but that many more are not attemp ted. In our out districts the houses seem to be actually built with the intention of adding to the utmost the efforts of any person desirous of effecting an en trance. Verandas that serve no earthly use, run along the front of hundreds of our houses, and it is quite easy, having gained the veranda, to lift up a window sash and thus effect an entrance. The lock, on the majority of those doors are of the poorest description and offer little or no resistance to the burglar. Many people, when they lock their door at night, have a habit of LHAVnm THE KEY IN THE LOCK. Under the impression that it will prevent any person using a pick or skeleton key to open the door, and so it will. But in thia case the thief uses either of those in struments He introduces into the key hole a very strong, though light forceps, and seizing the entremity of the key, opens the door with a singio turn of his wrist. Then, if you leave a key in the lock let it be one that does not open the door. THE burglar's TOOLS. There is but little difference between the tools of a first class burglar and those of an honest locksmith, for the latter is oiten called upon to pick locks and to open safes when keys are lost and time is pressing. There nro some instruments, of course, such as a dark lantern and a revolver pistol not required by the honesi tradesmanin his business, that are all important to the professional burglar. A FIRST CLASS OUTFIT comprises a dark-lantern, silent-matches, wax taper, revolver, a largo pruning-knife useful for cutting out door-panels; a palette-knife, thin and pliant, for opening windows (by inserting between the sashes, so as to push back the sprink-fastening;) a jimmy or small crowbar about a foot in length, and splayed or crow footed at one end, called “double-enders wires to lift lock-tumblers and a centrebit. This is a complete set of ordinary tools, and may be carried with ease in a small carpet bag- HALL-DOOR LOCKS Arc large massive and usually take a very large and apparently complex ward ed key; but the burglar is well aware that many of these wards are suporflaons. If he wants to make a key far snch a lock he cuts out a blank key in tin, one side of which he covers with wax. Wards being simple obstructions fixed in the locks, he has only to carefully insert the blank and turn it gently to receive an im pression of them on the wax. For this impression a key is easily forged out of strong iron-wire. Of course it is much simpler than the original. Sometimes doors are opened with the pick-lock, which acts by working outside the wards, reach ing the belt that way ; on warded locks, caused them at leghth to be discarded from bankB and money-houses, in favor of the lever or tumbler-lock, and the thiefs skeleton keys found themselves bent to no effect in endeavoring to open them. So the locksmith had to be circum vented by fresh means, and the jack-in the box was invented. Its object was to force the lock off or to rend the case so that the bolts might be drawn back. This was accomplished by inserting a T-shaped bolt of iron in the lock, and then by means of the jack (and adaptation of the principle of the lever and screw), rending open the lock. This plan was prevented by introducing very small keys, and pla cing the tublers, etc., above the key hole Having been defeated for a long while at the safe lock, they at last discovered a new plan, which was to attack the hinges, pressing them off by means of powerfnl levers. In this manner the safe of a large firm in London was opened, and an im mense quantity valuables stolen. The firm bronght suit against the safe-makers who had sold them the safe as thief proof, to recover damages, and for the defense, the burglar who had been captured and sentenced, .was placed on the stand, and deposed that there was no safe made that could resist an attack properly made on its hinges. After this trial the safe makers counter sunk their hinges, and at the present time we may safely say that the thief has. the wqrat of the battle. by means of a fine saw. Now, an instrn uent, called a “panel entte . is u A strong stem, with a gimlet point, is thrust into the centre of the panel. Through this stem slides a cross-bar, car- rying at one extremity a sharp-cutting tool, which can be adjusted to move at my required radius. At the head of the -tern is a double-armed lever, which works the whole machine. This instrument will make a hole, in a few minutes, large enough to admit the burglar’s arm, or the body of a small boy, and the door is soon unfastened. The only safeguards are, to iiave the door lined with sheet iron or studded with nails irregularly dispos ed. HOW THE JOB 13 PUT UP. Everybody knows that the thief seldom if ever break into a house cn all the par ticulars concerning whence he is not well posted. He knows how many people live in the house, and the rooms they sleep in and the hours they retLe to rest. Wom en and children watch during the day, d the house-breaker himself by night, | and this which will be l:3pt up for days j and nights until all necessary information ! has been obtained. i HOW THE JOB LS DONE. ■ The burgle.rs, who gerernUv giy in | -brees.Relent.'’* rimo^-h ry ^'-epoli'-'' ' “fi jeer had jast passed on I> w-.— 3 .uni. tn r ijr.'—“e ep'—at"'ns. If you b-ve 1 watch-dog, it is drugged ; if you nave t corrupt servant, be ''a« been, perbips, bribed. A mould has been taken of youi house key; a panel is removed, or perhaps entrance is effected through the windows opening on yonr veranda. The bnrglar who has pulled on thick stockings over his boots, moves rapidlj and without noise. Plate and money are his two great desires, but he will take almost anything rather than go empty-handed. So cleverly managed in the whole affair that the peace officer may pass by a door out of which a panel has been replaced with a sheet of painted or grained paper provided for that purpose. Outside a comrade is on guard and the burglars are careful not to leave the bouse until the signal hat the coast is clear. Immedi ately on leaching their quarters the thieves change their cloth®3 ; the next thing to do is to get rid of the plunder, than which nothing is easier if it be plate. Jewels are also readily disposed of. but not so profitably for the robbers. With all that has been said, there is but little danger where proper precautions aro taken. It is a crimson fact that these men who inform themselves so carefully as to what and where they can steal, ven ture little willingly, and they are careful to learn whether your bars alone protect your house property Keep a good dog inside yonr house and a Smith and Wes son at your hand and you'll have lit tle trouble from burglars, and if they do come never bring down a light when you go to see what is the matter.

The necessity for a Union of Chri tians has long been felt in this State, t bind the workers in a closer bond of fel lowship: Therefore, a Convention of al Christians in every town and city iE Georgia is called to meet with us. To further this object, a State Conven tion of the Young Men’s Christian Asso ciations of Georgia will be organized oi Thursday, Feb. 11, 1875, at o’clock p m., and such measures adopted as ma' be deemed advisable. We earnestly appeal to the friends of the cause in every city, town and villagt m the State to send Delegates to iht Convention. Each Association will soli not less than three Delegates, and Church es, where no Associations exist, sxo re quested to send two Delegates. The annual celebration of the Augusta Association will be held in the Presbi - terian Church, Sunday Evening, at o'clock; when several of the most distin guished friends of the cause will address the mooting.

Jo do this it is necessary to cut out one of tbe panels. This used to be effected taorc respoct Set thy House in Order. Died suddenly!” How often these solemn words meet our gaze in the news papers ! They suggest most important inquiries to each one of us. Read- 1. Is your business in such shape that if you should die to night it might be settled by your survivors without neces sary loss to your estate ? Immense sums are lost, and vast trouble and expensive litigation are involved, by improperly- kept account books, and the neglecting of full memoranda of unfinished busi ness. 2. Is yonr will made? In the event of your pulse ceasing to beat before to morrow morning would no injustice be done your heirs and those objects of Christian benevolence which it is your intention to promote after your death ? Died intestate! is often the precussorof jealousies, and heart-burnings, and injus tice, which might have been prevented by a few strokes of the pen. 3. Have yon paid all your debts?—Or, have you made arrangements that your creditors shall not be wronged ? There may be some balances against you which you acknowledge yourself morally bound to meet, but against which no legal claim can be presented. You intend to pay them after a while. You have the ability now, but you aro neglecting them. Tore heed lest Death, coming when you did not expact him, shall put it forever be yon ? j ^ ir power *o justly. 4. Are you on amicable terns, as far as you oan be, with everybody ? You spok" an unkind word, and wounded a sensi tive heart. Have you tried to repair the damage ? That brother, that sister, that neighbor, toward whom, in a moment of excitement, you acted an unchristian part deserves better treatment You are con scious of having wronged them. Had you not better ask their forgiveness and gain reconciliation ? To-morrow there may be no opportunity. You know not what may be on the morrow. 5. Have you made God your friend? If not you have no time to lose. He waits to be gracious now. You will soon stand before him. “This night thy soul may be required of thee.” Take Jesus at at once to be your Mediator and Saviour. Sot thy house in order. Business Law. The following brief compilation of business law is worth a careful preserva tion, as it contains the essence of a large amount of legal verbiage: It is not legally necessary to say on a note “for value received." Contracts made on Sunday cannot be enforced. A note by a minor is void. A contract made with a minor is also void. A contract made with a lunatic is void. A note obtained by fraud, or from a person in a state of intoxication, cannot be collected. If a note is lost or stolen, it does not release the maker; he must pay it, if tho consideration for which it was given, and the amount, can be proven. An indorser of a note is exempt from liability if not served with notice of dis honor within twenty-four hours of its non-payment Notes bear interest only when it is so stated. Principals are responsible for the acts of their agents. « Each individual in a partnership is responsible for the whole amount of debts of tbe firm. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. The law compels no one to do impassi bilities. An agreement without consideration is void. Signatures made with a lead pencil are good in law. A receipt for money is not alwayB con elusive. The acts of one partner bind all the rest One gets a clear idea of the amount of mischief so little an insect as the grass hopper can accomplish, when he reads that from his ravages some fifteen or twenty thousand people arc destitute in Kanias! ’ Hereafter st least out West, the grasshopper will be spoken of with CmiadanR, tnat God may bless the effort. tho Convention. Tbe foLoving subjects, for generni bin cession, are suggested: 1. How can Association work in eiths and villages be effectively organized and successfully prosecuted?’ 2. How shall Bible Classes be conduc ted in Associations, and for what ob ject? 3. Direct religious work among young men the first and great work of Young Men’s Christian Associations? 4. How can the Associations help young men to resist temptation? 5. How can Christian homes be ren dered most serviceable in restraining young men from evil, and in winning them to Christ? 6 The qualifications and duties of > General Secretary, and in what Associa tion is snch an officer necessary? 7. Lectures and Lecturers? 8. )\ hat is the best plan for raising money to support the Association? Associations and Churches sending Delegates will please forward their Names and Address to Young Men’s Christian Association, Augusta, in order that homes may be assigned them before their arrival. Delegates will, on their arrival, please report at the Rooms of the Association, No. 288 Broad Street. JAMES H. CRANSTON, Cor. Mem. Inter. Com. for State of Geor gia. JAMES C. C. BLACK, President Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation, Augusta. M. H. LANE, General Secretary Y. M. C. A., Augusta. A State Convention The Atlanta correspondent of the Ma con Telegraph & Messenger, says: This measure, which is daily growing in favor in all sections of the State, re ceives the approval of the Governor, pro vided it be resolved to submit the ques tion to the people for decision. Any arbitrary effort to change tho fun damental law by the call of a convention on a mere expression of opinion by the General Assembly, will be promptly ve toed. Aa usual, Atlanta is very nervous on the convention question, and never fails through her politicians and the press, to 6eek to strangle every movement in that direction. It is evident she fears that the act of a Federal satrap changing the capital of the State may be reversed at the ballot box. It is edifyiDg to hear them talk about the wonderful prosperity of Georgia under her present constitu tion. But this result is due to tho ener gy and pluck of her sons, who despite Radical laws and impediments, have spewed out a corrupt administration, and inaugurated honesty at least in the conduct of public affairs. There is much to admire and much to condemn in the Constitution, which Dr. H. V. M. Miller so ably manipulated in the teeth of an opposition apparently irresistible. A majo. itv of the good and saving f. atureu n mat instrument are mainly due to his sagacity and parliamentary tract. He cimboozlod the “niggers,” mystified and circumvented their carpet-bag friends (so called), interpolated saving clauses and amendments to obnoxious sections, aud in fact succeeded to a great extent in eradicating the Radical' sting from al most the entire Constitution. Bi.t some important blemishes and de fects still remain, and these should be passed upon and corrected, by another convention, composed of the true repre sentatives of the people. As to the PERMANENT LOCATION OF THE CAPITAL. this question should be fairly determined at the ballot box, before another dollar is voted or expended, either for the re pairs of the old, or the erection of a new State-honse. Then, and not till then, will Milledgeville be satisfied, and the matter receive its final quietus She Third Tana. The Washington correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier says the first intimations of a Radical conspiracy to gag and bind hand and foot the South, or, what is even more, to provoke the unhappy and oppressed people of that section into open revolt, that the Repub lican party might perpetuated, were re ceived with donbt by many. There is no longer room for donbt. President Grant has entered upon his third term campaign, and is represented in this field at present by Gen. Sheridan. Frank Blair's prophecy that Grant would not peaceably vacate the White House no lon ger provokes a smile, and since yester day it has been in the minds of all who closely observe the proceedings in Louis iana. From the Atlanta Constitution: The only negro in the House is Jim Blue. Old Tunis Campbell and Wm. Bacon, ol Liberty, did not answer to their names on the first day. The former had a pre vious and pressing engagement with the keeper of the penitentiary, who will send him to the Dade coal mines. Mr. J. L. Sweat, the Clerk of the House, has ap pointed C. B. Hudson assistant, and Col. Eugene P. Speer Journalizing Clerk. Hon. J. W. Mnrphy, Secretary of the Senate, has appointed C. J. Wellborn assistant, and K. J. McCanny, 'Journaliz ing Clerk. P. D. Corey, late cashier of the Freed man's Bank at Atlanta, was convicted of being a defruiter to that institution on Wendesday, and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary.

As you pass along b- he vino-wreathed cottages, at alrno t :very door maidens are sitting with pil ows on their laps, making lace. Ther s something in the play of fingers, flin^ )f the bobbins, fineness of the threads. >eauty of the fabric, and the litth •oquetries of manner, to appearance, un- •onsciously thrown in, that renders th« work attractive and graceful. As every oody knows, Belgium furnishes a greatei variety, superior quality, and largei ■ quantity, of lace to the world every yeai .ban any other country. The reason it plain. Belgian grows the best flax, and Belgian water steeps most perfectly tht laulms. Then again, flax spinning hat ong been conducted in Belgium witl uiore special regard to the exigencies o; ace making than anywhere else. To illustrate this, let me say that th< inest and most elastic Belgian thread which will sell in England for three guineas an ounce, is spun by lamp-irgh. .n damp cellars, a black screen bein { ;et up behind the thread to ren- ler it more visible. Flax is sent fron many countries to be roited in Eelgiai ri^eiu. Their waters produce a whiter, loaner, and more elastic material thai ai % .le s. hi.ti.-' hlei_is.: m.„de^ u(i cf ^.CadlJl Lui «*C tl 111. Ig.rio C jliur nations, and bring to the spinum vbof-1 a care, patience, and delicacy oi r.ouch essential to twisting a thread al most as attenuate as the filaments of a spider's web. Lace is not a modern invention, as it sometimes supposed, but is as old at spinning and weaving. Assyrian and Egyptian ladies, with an eye to eleganct of tracery, and with a copy in the spider’s web, would never have been content io drapo themselves in fabrics where warp and woof cross rectangularily. There would be the imitation with the needle of leaf or flower; there would be threads drawn out from the already woven fa bric, and the filamentary skeleton gath ered into shapes by the needle; or there would be tatting and crochetting into forms that might be sewed into gar ments—open thread-work of some kind, in fact, so sore as there was a beantifn arm and hand to shade, ora comely bosom to half-conceal from gaze. It needs no great acquaintance with lace to be aware that modern production!- do not compare favorably with those ol by-gone-days. Not love nor monej could replace iu any country on earth the $75,000 worth of laces which were stolen on the New York Central Railroad, from tho Princes FralofFs trunk, two years ago. In those old times, when swamps covered the rural districts every where, and there were no roads and pack horses alone threaded the bridle-paths, and hawing was the sole open-air amuse ment for ladies, medieval maids and matrons necessarily became deft needle women. Think of the Bayeux tapestry, for example, 72 yards long 220 inches wide, on which are reproduced thousand! of characteristics of Norman life, al worked by the fair Matilda and he maidens, eight hundred years ago! It was a triumph of needle work art, sucL as the world will hardly see again. } Felton, Hopps, McDonald, \Y. H. McA- ! fee, Mattox, J. W.

Don’t Allow Talent to Rnst. As by constant friction steel is kepi highly polished, so by constant exercist is talent ever at its brightest. All ou: powers grow by use. If we neglect to cultivate the habit of observation, we might as well walk through the world blind-folded. We lose our faculty—what the artists call our “thouch”—by neglect of practice on other things beside the pi ano. The man who seldom reads, reads slowly; the woman whose writing is con fined to an infrequent letter to some ab sent child, spends more time over that than does a practiced writer over a half dozen pages of manuscript. Exercise of possessed talent is absolutely necessary, then, if we would retain our gifts. F01 example: If our occupation is sedentary, we need plans for walks, rides, and ac tive games to keep our muscles lithe aud serviceable. But if our employment gives us enough muscular action, it is not less important to our health of body, we should plan for mental exercise —for employment enough of our memory und reasoning powers to keep them from lusting. And, in either case, fiat life must lw> a dwarfed and unhealthy oi that does not provide exercise for oui spiritual faculties—for worship, and char liy, and patience, and magnanimity. Ex ercise of soul, mind, and body can alone bring ns to it. Standing Committee of the Senate. On Judiciary—Wofford, chairman; Lester, J. W.

The Wasnington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says it was almost univer sally thought after the elections that the third term business was dead. From what has transpired in the last week or two the country may be asured that it ia not dead, and that the President dreams of it as fondly as ever. Just before tba recess the President was in conversation with a member of Congress. The third term subject was alluded to by the mem ber. The President significantly remark ed “No one knows what the White Leaguers will do in the next two years." From the circumstances, and from the manner of the President, the only infer ence to be drawn was that the country would be in great danger from the White Leaguers, and that he was the only one that could save it. This goblin cry of White Leaguers was echoed on the floor of the Senate to-day, on the Radical side. The White Leaguers, they say, are organ ized throughout the entire Sonth, they are armed to the teeth and number buns dredsof thousands; they intend to renew the war for the destruction of the Union, and tbe man who broke the back of tjbe slaveholders' rebellion is the only mjpt who can stem the new rebellion. This ia the new third term programme. Sheridan’s telegram set the ball in mo tion, and a new impetus was given to it this afternoon The Radical leaders in the Senate, in their desire to hold on to power themselves, are thus forced, wheth er they will or not, to help the nnHt’ n m aspirations of the President. They not get along without him. He 5now this and they know it The President has resolved that if he goes down the Republican party shall go with Iffp. Thus the President calculates that in 1876 the party will be compelled to look to him, as in 1868 and 1872, to lead, it to victory. ^ Tho people may well take warn ing in tune, turd refuse to be further dev In the debate this afternoon there wea evidence of deep feeling among the crowd ed galleries. There was very please over Mr. Logan’s fulmiaatien, but when Senator Bogy the action of the President aa ^f ya emperor, and said tbe people of T -~*jf ; - ana wo0*4 be perfectly justified in naff* mg it, there was very decided apnfanpfc ’e
