MlLIiEDGETILLE, FEBRUARY 8, 1881.
OUR POSITION.
We are anxious that our position, in ref
erence to constitutional questions, shall
not bo misunderstood. We have written
much to throw light upon the nature and
structure of our governments, federal and
state, and we have done so for the benefit
of those, especially the young men of the
country, who have not had oppoitunities
of studving these intricate matters. We
have sought to teach them the truth, and
such young men, as lacked the advantages
ttih study and investigation could give
£ have become political scholars U
tliev have been interested enough to look
through our teachings for a few years past,
we have only done our duty and we shall
tutions and the laws. °^ me part i c u-
the United States, has, 14Ul and

«»<«-
" S™ our people would not ro-es-
very md take the ttunohteu from
fhoSorcd |S.1>1»1' «W eould. Wo “";
stantly hear the absurd declaration, that
,,‘e war settled tho questions of slavery
and states rights. It did no such thing. It
sottlod nothing. It was an unholy and un
constitutional measure, and possessed no
right to settle anything. It had n o Qua.lt-
v but that of atrocity. The constitution
points out the process of amendments.
The amendments were sabmftted to the
States, and they were adopted by tho con
stitutional number of States. Tho war d d
not even settle the question of secession.
If, before tho war, a state ^hls
sccede.it has the same right now. This
much we’say upon this point: secession is
virtually at an end. Tho Southern States
will never hazard it again. The Republi
cans contend that the war centralized the
Government. There is not a word of truth
in it. The constitution conferred no pow
er upon congress to centralize this govern
ment by war, or in any other way. To
check this tendency to consolidation, or ab
solutism, is the highest duty oi tho hour.
Tlu 1 quickest way to bring it about is for
weak-kneed democrats to concedo that the
battle of centralism lias been fought and
won. But that is not true. When we agree
that it has been won, it will make but lit
tle difference who is elected President.
While we can raise our voice, or handle a
pen, we shall sternly aid all true patriots
in the effort to preserve what has been
left us by the revolution. We shall expose
the hideousness of centralism as an inno
vation that will lead to anarchy, revolu
tion, bloodshed and the final loss of our
dear-bought liberties. The Radical party
lias not totally destroyed, but shattered the
constitution, and east a pall over the splen
did past. Its glories have been made par
tially desolate. Let it bo our effort now,
through the Democratic party, to restore
Its fading grandeur anil echo back in tri
umph tho faith of our political Fathers.
MENTAL BEAUTY.
Nothing, on which the eye can gaze, is
so pleasing as female beauty. Flora In her
garden-kingdom displays no flowers so
lovely and bright. Her cheek in tho lan
guage of Bulwer, Is like a rose crushed
upon ivory. The eye, no matter what color,
fascinates, with its eloquent expression. It
charms with the tender radiance of sym
pathy or love. A fine writer said: “Cupid
perpetually hovers about the eyes of beau
ty.” It is a bewitching organ, a sublime
mystery, a celestial symbol. Shakespeare,
who spoke as no one else did, makes Ober-
onsav: ‘ Lady, I kiss thine eye, and so
good-night!” The faeo how lovely in com
posure or in smile! the form liow luxuri
ant, bouyant and graceful! Percival thus
spoke in raptures upon female loveliness:
Our hearts might waken
To their own loveliness, and lift themselves,
By such an adoration, from a dark
And grovelling world.
Sucli is a faint and brief representation of
what the world esteems the beau ideal of
the beautiful and lovely. None will more
freely pay due homage to woman’s charms
than we. But what would become of her
glory but for the soul that dwells in this
beautiful temple. Alas, the frost of time
withers beauty as it does the fragile flow
ers. But the mind withers not, still soars
on silver winds and rcileets tho hues of all
that’s bright in earth or sky. A poet said
of one:
Beauty has gone; but yet her mind Is still
As beautiful as ever: still the play
Of light around her lips lias every charm
Of childhood in its freshness.
It is the peculiar glory of human intel
lect that it survives the wreck of years.
When the leaves of life’s springand summer
lie dead around us, it shines on in splendor.
The loveliest creature that ever floated be
fore our vision, with every grace that can
delight the eye, becomes only a showy tem
ple incapable of exciting the soul’s idola
try unless decked with the beauty of mind.
We do not say that she shall be profoundly
learned, but tho jewel of intellect must be
polished and the feelings of the heart re
fined.
It by no means follows that mental pow
er and cultivation is accompanied by ment
al beauty. Some of the strongest minds
are full of hateful passions and resemble
bowers of vines, shrubbery and flowers,
filled with serpents. Mental beauty is as
sociated with intelligence, amiability,
goodness of hourt, sincerity, purity and
truth. When these are combined they
make a beauty on earth which seems to
have derived its rays from heaven. We see
in it the mild lustre of a star or a soft
beam of moonlight. Nothing can form a
parallel with it but the imagined loveliness
of angels and'seraphs, It smiles to shed
sunbeams upon tho soul and charms
by tho fascination and sweetness of its
power.
It is a mistake to suppose that silk and
laces, bright eyes and snowy nooks, dell-
cab' tints of cheek, sylph-like form, and
bright curls wreathed with roses, are the
supremo requisites for commanding the
homage of the heart. The full measure of
power requires the sacred affections, the
gentle virtues and tho kind emotions of the
spirit.
TntnUeotuiii (>vc<>iiwico io the seal which
God stamps upon human destiny. Itgivcs
to existence the highest aspirations, and
noblest enjoyment. It furnishes tho poe
try of sentiment, the enrapturing melody,
and the glowing visions of imagination. It
is to the moral world what the sun Is to
tho natural. It presents man as tho more
cultivated image of his maker, looking in
to tho blue heights of Heaven and longing
at the appointed time, to soar into thorn in
immortal beatitude.
Intellect gives to man all the divinity
that is within him; all the dignity and
majesty of character. Subtle and pure it
can ascend from the works and hues of
earth and bask in.the light of the stars
and suns which gild the boundless domin
ions of flic Almighty Maker and Ruler of
tho universe. All things possible are open
ed to the winged Mercury of mind. That
opens to man the gates or tho kingdonuof
knowledge. Nothing can equal mental
beauty, for it fades not like the flower
but brightenf a^iVmoro for im-‘
mortality. vn, p

Wonderful Predictions.
Canton, Stark County, Ohio, l
January, 1881. l
Editor DmoerdRc Paper, Miiledgeville, Ga:
You will confer a favor on me if you will
publish the enclosed Astronomical article,
for £Jte benefit of the citizens of Millcdge-
vllie, Georgia, and the people of the South.
Have three hundred verifications and con
firmations of “Wonderful Predictions” sent
from the various newspapers in the United
States, In 1878, 1879, 1880:
The Commissioner of Agriculture of the
State of Florida published an article which
was sent him In 1878 or ’79. It was printed
in several of tho Gulf States in which at
tention was called to the meteorological
fact that the winters In tho South would
bo colder for years to come, and we hazard
nothing when you are informed that next
winter will be colder yet; notwithstanding
the fact that the entire United States is la
the new Torrid Zone, within the bounda
ries of the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic
of Capricorn. We are filled with apprehen
sion for fear there will be long, continued,
parching droughts. They were character
istic of the old Torrid Zone. Received in
formation (official) from Buenos Ayres that
a million head of animals had perished
with cold, sleet, snow and hall. Take a
pair of Calipers, put one point on Boston,
Massachusetts, which is on tho Atlantic
Coast, on the new equatorial line, and
Buenos Ayres, tho capital of Buonos Ayres,
and you will not be surprised that Buenos
Ayres, Bolivia and Brazil, were very cold
this winter; by the same process of rea
soning, you will come to the conclusion
that next winter those countries will be
still colder and that they must now raise
corn, wheat, rye, oats, barloy and potatoes,
apples, pears and cherries. There has al
ready arrived upon the coast of Georgia,
strange fish, new to those waters. The
Smithsonian Institute informs me that six
ty new varieties of Torrid Zone fishes un
known upon tho coast of New England and
New York, have precipitated themselves
upon tho coast of New England and
New York. They will there remain. They
are now a part, parcel and inhabitant or
tho hot waters, that surge on that coast.
We told the people of tho North, in 1878,
that tho United States would now bo sub
ject to terrible storms, cyclones and hurri
canes, for an hundred years to come, (seo
lecture.) You are informed that next sum
mer, they will rage, both In tho North and
South, with unabated fury. They will com
mence In March. Have a list of all the cy
clones that have taken place sinco tho con
junction.
In the spring of|1878,1 went to an editor
who knows me well, and who is highly ed
ucated, and requested him to publish my
article in which tho reasons were given as
to why cyclones would prevail. He laugli-
od at me and said, “We have never had
any cyclones in this latitude,” and refused
to print tho article. That mail respected
us then, but now ho respects us moro.
He acknowledged the reasoning was cor
rect. Please send me copy of your paper.

WONDERFULPREDICTIONS.
Remarkable Predictions by Andrew M.
Blake, Astronomer, the Discoverer of the
Zones of the Earth, at Lengthy Intervals
of Timo by Planetary Conjunctions.
The following extract Is taken from a
lecture delivered by Blake, in April, 1878:
One of the most difficult things in the
province of meteorological speculation,
will be to convince men that the winters
will t>e colder. That will now be experienc
ed. The winters will be colder over the en
tire earth than they have been, and will be
for years to come, because the earth now
floats low on the plane of the ecliptic, her
inclination is different. In order to get at
an approximation of what they will be, go
back to the time when there was a previ
ous superior conjunction and learn what
the winters were then. The earth occupy
ing substantially the same position upon
the plane of the ecliptic that she did then,
the discovery Is made that th9 winters
were extremely severe. The entire earth
is colder, it does not possess as much oxy
gen and those regions where snow, ice and
hall were almost unknown, will now have
them in abundance and continuously for
years to come. The South will be unprece
dentedly cold, and so wiJl South America.
Ice will form on streams, livers and lakes.
You will realize that a change has taken
place In the climate of the South when you
are informed that October 11th, 1877, was
superior conjunction. This was the most
remarkable conjunction, that had taken
place in two thousand years. More plan
ets were coincident. The influence of the
conjunction on the earth, and on mankind,
was most extraordinary. During the con
junction, the earth made a topple in space;
she momentarily lost her accredited posi
tion in space. There was then a change in
the inclination of the earth to the sun—in
the inclination of the axis of tho earth to
the sun. The zones of the earth were
changed. The equatorial line (the sun) now
strikes the coast or Lower California at S.
Lazaro Point, crosses the Gulf of California,
crosses the Rio Grande at El Paso, sweeps
across the State of Texas, across Arkan
sas. strikes the Mississippi river just be
low Cairo, sweeps through the State of
Ohio, striking Canton and Cleveland,
crosses Lake Erie, strikes Buffalo, sweeps
through New York, sweeps through Mas
sachusetts, strikes Boston, sweeps across
the Atlantic from Boston to the English
channel. That is the new equatorial line.
The barometric pressure over the entire
earth was lessened and it will not be as
great as.it was for fifty years to come.
The earth was robbed of i’s oxygen, its
azone, Its humidity. The pendulums on
all the clocks on earth were lengthened, or
in other words, in order to have clocks keep
time, tho pendulums would have to be
lengthened all over the earth. The scientific
reason for this was because the air over
the entire earth became rarefied, and hence
offered less resistance to swinglrg pendu
lums. The pendulum was lengthened. The
most noticeable Immediate effect of tho
conjunction on the earth was the raising of
the clouds (the cloud veil) along the line
Indicated from the Bio Grande to the
English Channel. They have never float
ed as low since as they did, and will not
for a hundred years to come. We are now
—Canton and Cleveland, Ohio—upon the
equator, and since the change has taken
place it will take the heat of the sun a long
time, several years, to raise the heat of the
earth up to a point corresponding to its
own. In other words, tho thermometer
will enow a Mwiiy increase in
temperature along the lino indicated, until
in summer it will range from 70 degrees
to 90 degrees in the shade, and frequently
run frem 85 degrees to 95 degrees. That
Is equatorial heat. Bear in mind that this
summer will be hot (1878) that the coming
summer of 1879, will be some degrees hot
ter than this (1878). Tho summer of 1880
will be some degrees hotter than 1879. Tho
summer of 1881 will be some degrees hot
ter than 1880. The summer of 1882 will be
some degrees warmer than 1881. The sum
mer of 1883 will be some warmer than the
summer of 1882, and so on until as was
before remarked, the heat of the sun brings
the beat of the earth up to a point corre
sponding to Its own. Then it becomes as
permanently hot as it was along the old
equatorial line that crossed Equador and
Brazil. South America, across the Atlantic
to the coast of Africa. Another noticeable
effect is the air has become so wonderfully
pure that objects can now be seen at a
greater distance, and with more wonderful
distinctness. The atmosphere is clearer
on the equator than on any portion of the
earth. The sun, moon, stars and planets
will look larger, and will shine more bril
liant, and become more distinct in the ce
lestial dome. The street lamps shine with
greater brilliancy at night, and can be scon
At much greater distances than formerly
owing to the extreme clearness of the air.
The sky during certain portions of the
year will be extremely blue. After sunset
the night comes on very rapidly and witli
startling suddenness. There is now no
twilight within the line indicated. Tho
tropical sunseta will be gorgeous beyond
description. The sky will bo intensly blue,
purple, crimson, red, violet, with all the
combined beauties of the rainbow. The days
and nights will be more nearly equal. The
most charming part of the day will be
early In the morning. During the summer
months you will have tho bfiriling gun of
the Desert of Sahara as it darts its rays
perpendicular^ upon the line Indicated.
The waters of Lake Erie will be raised to
a much higher temperature. The evapor
ation will be much greater than formerly.
Tropical birds of brilliant plumage will
now appear, and birds heretofore unknown
•n this section. The vegetation tftll be
tropical, possessing Asiatic luxuriance.
There will not only be a greater variety of
snakes, but they will be of larger growth
and more venomous. Centipedes, tarantu
las, scorpions, ants and mosquitoes, will
in time appear in our forests. The States
of Ohio, New York, Massachusetts and
along said lino will now raise cotton, sugar
cane, sorghum, oranges, lemons, tobacco,
sweet potatoes, pine apples, cocoanuts, figs,
dates, coffee, rice, etc., etc. Tho foliage
will be tropical. Cactus, agava and ferns
will flourish. All the productions of Florida,
Georgia, Alabama and the Gulf States will
now be raised by Ohio, New York, Massa
chusetts and along said line. In Ohio,
New York and Massachusetts, and along
tho lino indicated, there will be days and
weeks during tho heated term when not a
cloud the size of your hand can be seen in
tho heavens. You will sometimes have
those long, continuous and parching
droughts which prevail along the equato
rial line. The crops will fail, tho grass
will ceaso to grow. Terrible forest confli-
grations will take place ovor a vast extent
of country, and in different States, at the
same time. Heretofore when such confla
grations did take placo, they were local in
their character; now they will be widely
extended, and not only forests will disap
pear, but houses, barns and fences.
We will now have fearful and horrible
cyclones, tornadoes and hurricanes, which
will go sweeping over the earth with terri
ble violence and velocity, uprooting trees,
prostrating forests, and tearing down
churches, houses, barns and fences, level
ling all objects in their pathway. The de
struction will be terrific, widespread and
continuous for years to come.

The Atlanta Phonograph says tho Nor
wood campaign committee did not pay

Senator Mahoneof Virginia, says nobody

in tiie future. Ho says I10 don’t know him
self.
Ths Catholic clergy of Ireland passed
resolutions declaring that a thorough re
form of the land laws, framed on principles
of justice to all, would produce peace and

Win. Sprague, Ex-Senator from Rhode
Island, lias filed a bill in the clerk’s office of
the Supreme Court or Washington, praying
divorce from Ills wife Catharine Chase
Sprague. Hoi alleged that without cause
she has deserted his bed and board. That
she committed adultery with ono, Roscoe
Conkling, that she had neglected her wife
ly duties and squandered the property of
her husband, that she has without cause,
driven from her doors their eldest son.
That she has spent her time at hotels, In
society of bad men. That she has porslst-
ently abused her husband etc.
The republicans can do what they please,
say what they please, threaten, abuse, bull-
dose, trample upon tho laws, violate the

South rebels, and copperheads and it is
considered nu fait. But let a Democrat
state the plainest proposition in Govern
ment, in morals or any other subject not
perfectly agreeable to tho Republicans and
immediately they raise a tremendous yell
and half the Democratic press of the coun
try with bated breath and quivering limbs*
cry out our party will be ruined by such
imprudence.
The use of baby carriages is deprecated
Dr. Henry H. Smith, of Philadelphia.
He says that a child who is cairied in arms
is being constantly trained In balancing Its
head and shoulders, and that such infants
are sooner able to sit alone and creep or
walk more vigorously than those who in
the continued supine posture of the baby
carriage fail to receive their muscular ex
ercise. There is also increased appotite,
with improved digestion and nutrition.
One of tho evils liable to ensue from the
constant use of tho baby carriage is the
jarring and concussion of tho delicate brain
and spinal cord of tho infant created by
bouncing the carriage over gutters or up
and down the curbstone. This evil, Dr.
Smith contends, is quite as serious to the
infant in the concussion of the spine, as the
result of railroad travel is to the full-
grown man, the nervous system of tho
child being easily impressed by jars.
SHOWING THEIR STOCKINGS.
Weclipt a short piece out of a papier
few days since with tiie heading:
“SHOWING THEIR STOCKINGS.”
Wo neglected to note the paper not only
to give due Credit, but to let that paper,
and not the Union & Recorder, be held
responsible for its! criticisms. The writer
plainly intimated that stockings, at exor
bitantly high prices, going up, in some
cases, as high as $1.25 per pair, were pur
chased to be seen. A lady wearing such he
said, may often be observed sitting in
a crowded piazza with one leg (the use
of the word “limb” would be superfluous
in the case‘ ( of so obvious an extremity)
thrown over tho other, and the uppermost
foot stuck out as if for inspection. Again,
a wearer of dainty slippers and hose ex
tends both feet far beyond the cover ol her
skirts as she sits where ho who passes may
notice.
LOVE FINDS A WAY.
A young farmer named Read and the
daughter of a Mister Shoup fancied each
other and the father concluded to send his
daughter, sixteen years old, to Missouri
The lather and grandfather went with her,
the former after going a short distance—
intended to return to Ids home near Har
risburg, Virginia. It was agreed that they
should cross the river at Harrisburg and
as the boat was about to start, the girl ask
ed her father to.step back and get her shawl.
As soon as ho left tiie Hat, some one crawl-
out of a blanket in which he had been roll
ed up, tiie boat put off and the young lov
ers were soon made man and wife by a
clergyman abroad. The infuriated father
stamped Ids foot and wrung his hands in
impotent rago. Tho lovers, now married,
sent the grandfather back to conelllatn the
father, m which he succeeded, and tho wed-
ed pair had nettling to disturb their happi
ness.

that he was disabled from performing
manual labor. Learning of the wonderful
cures affected bv the use of St. Jacobs Oil
he procured a few bottles and experienced
immediate relief. Many othors of our ac
quaintances have used it and express them
selves gratified, with the rellof it has af
forded them. This king or medicines can

When you make your purchases, try

This certifies that for about two years I
have used in my family the celebrated
Palm Soap, made by Crampton Brothers,
New York, and consider it tne very best In
tiie markot for general use. I think if
bought in quantities and allowed to dry
for a while, it will last much longer. Al
together I think it the cheapest in the

Mr. Beck, of Ky., addressed the Senate
In favor of bis resolution allowing Ameri
can citizens to purchase ships in any part
of the world to use in the carrying trade
between America and foreign countries.
He said under the law, as it now exists,
forerelgners could not send their vessels
here and do all our carrying trade because
American citizens were obliged to buy A-
merican built vessels. The result was our
own citizens could not compete with for
eigners, and we had no merchant marine
but depended entirely upon foreign ves
sels. He lavored putting American citi
zens on a par with foreigners. Mr. Blaine
said foreign countries paid subsidies to
their steamship lines and ho was in favor
of this country doing tho same thing which
would put us ou an equality with foreign
countries. M r. Beck said subsidies meant
moro taxation, more burdens upon the
agricultural part of our population.

A CENTUM AGO.
The Frit* cool weather enjoyed by our
Great-grandfathers in l799’-80.
The winter of 1779-80 began as the pre
sent one did, and before the slight modera
tion in the atmosphere Sunday many' of
the older* residents, whosq fathers and
mothers had told them many tales of the
present one would resemble it in other re
spects. In 1779-’80 the cold set in about the
middle of November and continued until tho
middle of February. During that long pe
riod there was not enough warmth in tho
sun’s rays to melt the snow on the ground,
nor to affect in tho least the fetters of ice
that bound tho .creeks, ponds and rivers.
One snow-storm followed another until fi
nally the ground was so covered that il
was difficult to go from place to place, and
tho ice upon the river at all convenient
points was used by men and teams and
animals in place of roads. The cold winds
were so piercing that wild turkeys were
found frozen to death in the forests and
domestic fowls fell frozen from their roosts.
The deer and buffalo sought shelter from
the blasts around the cabins of tho settlers,
and all kinds of wild animals perished in
tho forests for want of food, which was
buried beneath the snow. The fierce wolf
and panther, which usually skulked about
tho boundaries of the settlements only by
night, now came near in broad daylight in
search of tho bones and offal thrown from
the cabins of tho settlors. No rain fell
and tho pioneers were compelled to obtain
water for }1 linking, cooking, A., by malting
Ice and snow. The Northern and Western
rivers were tightly bound by frost, and
evenas far south as Nashville tiie Cum
berland was frozen over with ice thick
enough for the passage of emigrant trains.
Tiie Delaware at Philadelphia had. ice
three feet in thickness, and Chesapeake
Bay and Long Island Sound were frozen
over.
ANOTHER SIMILARITY
between the present winter and that of
1779-80 was the mild autumn weather that
proceeded it. When the cold began in No
vember, 1779, the leaves had hardly fallen
from tho forest trees, and many of the
trees and shrubs were putting forth new
growth. Tho same condition of things
was witnessed last fall. Tho winters of
1783,1784,1785 1788, 1792,1795, and 1799 are
all reported to have been very severe. It
is stated in Hildreth’s Pioneer History
that on the 26th of December, 1788, the
Delaware and Ohio Rivers were both fro
zen over, and navigation was suspended
upon them until the 18th of tho following
March. In 1792, when the soldiers wore sent
to the disastrous battle-field of General St.
Clair to bury the dead, tiiey encamped
where Cincinnati now stands, January 13.
The snow was reported two feet deep upon
the ground, and the Ohio was so strongly
frozen that soldiers rode-their horses !
across from Kentucky 011 tiie ice. The 7th
of February, 1707, was known for years
as Cold Friday, and was the groundwork
for many a grandfather’s tale. On the
evening of the 6th tho weather was mild,
and rain began to fali as night set in. In a
few hours tho rain changed to snow, which
fell to the depth of six inches, after which
a hurricane began to sweep over the land-
It grew colder and Colder as the night pro
gressed,‘and the noxt morning the trees in
tho forests were cracking like the reports
of guns, and everything was bound in fet
ters of ice. There was no thermometer to
register the cold, but the day comes’down
in history and tradition as Cold Friday.-*-
