PLAIN TALK.
DY AN EATONTON' WOMAN'
[From the Messenger.j
A few years ago I met in Atlanta an old
artist, and in conversation with him, casu
ally remarked that I was from Eatonton.
At mention of the word, his face brighten
ed and his whole manner changed. “Ea-
tonton, Eatonton, he iepeated dreamily and
softly, ‘'it should not be Eatonton, but EJ-
enton! I smell the roses as I hear the
name! Oh! the beautiful, beautiful roses
of Eatonton!” I thought the old man was
wandering in his mind, and asked lilm:
“When were you In Eatonton?’’
“Oh ! long, long ago! Before the war I
painted portraits of many people there.
It was In the spring of the year, and Ea
tonton was a bower of roses. Oh! the
beautiful, beautiful roses! I am an old
man; thirty or forty years haye passed
since theD, but I can still smell those roses
when I hear the name of Eatonton!”
Was not this sweet to hear from strang
er’s lips about one’s home and birth place?
I felt a momentary keen thrill of pleasure,
followed instantly by a keener pain. That
was in the “long ago!” Where are now the
“beautiTuI roses” cf Eatonton?—Would the
old tuan find them as he pictured, should
he re-visit our town? Alas! alas! no! Bet
ter stay away from the Eatonton of to day,
old artist, if you would keep the beautiful
memory of a little “Eden,” embowered in
flowers, garlanded with roses and fragrant
with their perfume. We have no flower gar
dens modern Eatonton. The Eatonton male
citizen lias too many games of checkers to
play, too much politics to talk, too many
goods boxes to whittle up, too many sar
dine boxes and tomato cans to attach to ean-
nie narratives, to waste his time working
round home and making it attractive. As
for tiis wife—ah! now we are talking busi
ness. I like to talk business. Why don’t
the Eatonton man’s wife, or his sister, or
mother, or grandmother—indeed, any fe
male relative—work the flower garden? It
is evidently woman’s work, just fitted for
her great rough, strong hands and muscu
lar frame! It's true the soil of a flower
garden must be far more laboriously and
carefully cultivated and pulverized thanthat
of a corn or cotton field, butjwhat of that?
Everybody says “cultivation of flowers is
woman’s work,” and “everybody” must be
right. Besides, women—Southern women,
Eatonton women particularly—have noth
ing to do.—That is, nothing hut cook and
wash ami scrub and take care of eight or
ten children, more or less, and raise chick
ens and make butter and work the vegeta
ble garden and run the sewing machine
from morning till night and darn stockings
and sew on patches and attend prayer-
meetings and keep the churches going and
give public suppers, and, in fact, raise and
carry on their slender shoulders all of life’s
hardest and heaviest burdens, all the
weight of its most taxing responsibilities,
duties and cares, maternal, social and re
ligious. All this I know is nothing and we
t consider, too, iiow many conveniene-
An engine on tho Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad started from Oswego, Kan
sas, without any euginetr. It ran like

one person hurt.
os Southern women have about their homes
to save labor and time and weary steps.
We all know that every Southern kitchen
is perfectly fitted up with every modern
appliance, that it joins the house', that the
well is never a quarter of a rniieor so from
the kitchen on one side, and the wood pile
half a mile off In the opposite direction,
and added to all this we must take into ac
count the helpfulness (?) of Southern men
about a house. A Southern man never lolls
round, cigar in mouth, taking his ease
while his weary, overtaxed wife, sister or
mother brings in wood, puts in window
glass, drives nails, hangs pictures, puts
down carpets, and does one hundred other
things that come legitimately in the prov
ince of liis strength to do. Nobody ever
saw anything or this kind in any South-
»rn home! O-f c-o-u-r-s-e not. But that in i ....

wife, however, 1 hope will reward my ef- I
forts in her behalf with gratitude, espec 1 -
ally as 1 have in this article labored to
avoid abusing her husband while express- i
ing my honest sympathy Tor her. I iiave
elaborately and scrupulously and care
fully refrained from ’sassing’ tho Ea

and if anybody thinks it easy to write
truthfully about him and not do this,

OUR NSW YORK LETTER.
From ouromi Correspondent.
New York, May 16th, 1832.
Editor Union A Recorder:
Darwin is dead, the sun has spots, the
fringes of the Gulf stream are infested by
hundreds of icebergs, the new comet is
isdreadful! But I observed early in life the s ’ JuU 1,1 ljl ’ visible to the unassisted eye,
danger or attacking a husband to defend and New York i- desolated by storms.— •

* 1 '‘ ' — : ■ 11: bi utii of the south
erly Aiai easterly breezes,'usually around
the lesson that has since been of such u-e
tome—Old “I ncleTommy Gamble” used
to Keep the Eatonton jail. (He was not my
uncle, nor any bod y else’s unele--ttiat’s wh y
he was named “Uncle Tommy.”) Uncle
tommy had a wife. Uncle Tommy, like
most men who liko to stay out llitu at
- ■ chilled by the floes of
Arctic ice over which it has passed and ex-
asi ' fury. K. far the month has
bivn more like a demoralized March than
anything .-lse. r.o doubt stricily according

theatres are full
illiug domestic episodes. Uncle Tom- every evening and at all the nmtlnees. l lie
my was such a devoted Mason that he us- | Music Festival closed triumphantly, with
cd to attend the lodge three or four times a a prout which had hardly been expected,
week. (It don’t matter at all that the Ma
sons only met once a week, Uncle Tommy,
like all all other men, always said “he’d
been to the lodge” when he staid out late,
and Uncle Tommy ought to have known.)
Uncle Tommy’s wife‘always knew when
her husband had teen to the lodge, she
said, “by the way he walked when he
came home.” So when the poor fellow
would appear, wavering in the distance
and making ineffectual efforts to perambu
late on both sides of the street at once,
Mrs. Gamble would stand in the jail door
and make the welkin ring with exclama
tions like this: “Oh! you’ve boon to the
lodge! I know it! Anybody kin tell it!”
etc. Uncle Tommy, upoa arriving at home,
unable to endure the outrage dor.o his feel
ings as “a man and a brother”—iMason)
would invariably take down a small cosv-
hide he kept for the purpose, and with it
“mildly but firmly” remonstrate with Mrs.
G. Upon an occasion like this when Un
cle Tommy was thus gently trying to over
come ins wile’s hostility to Masonry, a
number of chi valrie young gentlemen of
Eatonton, unable longer to endure the
sound of the lasii and the sound of a wom
an’s cries, proceeded en masse to the jail
and began to interview Uncle Tommy with
their walking canes. Their well-meant ef
forts to defend the suffering wife were,
however, abruptly terminated when the
aforesaid wife grabbed Uncle Tommy’s
old shot gun and taking deadly aim, fired
into the midst of tier brave defenders, f he
flight that ensued was rapid, frantic and
ignominious. History records nothing
like it. Fragments oi clothing, hats, coats
and walking canes were left all along the
line of the retreat, nor did the brave de
fenders draw free breath till, out of tho
range of Mrs. Gamble’s shot gun, they en
trenched themselves on the court house
square. Nor was there a mail of them
found to reconnoitre the battle ground af
terwards and recover their scattered ac
coutrements, hats, coats, etc. Never again
did an Eatonton man aspiie to be a “Read
juster” of Uncle Tommy Gamble’s domes
tic affairs, nor did even an “Independent
candidate” ever volunteer for the office. I,
as a child, witnessed the scene I have de
scribed, and deep and ineffaceable w as the
impression it made. Twasthusl learned
never to espouse a wife’s cause against her
husband. The Eatonton man may be lazy,
he may spend liis days lounging on the
streets, and his wife may be overworked,
after a most generous expenditure of over
$120,000. Yachtsmen are overhauling their
craft with a keen sense of something in the
wind this season about the famous Queen's
cup won by the America, and possibly a
decisive determination of the respective
merits of keels and centre-boards, sloops,
cutters, yawls or schooners, disputes as to
which have b vn iaging in the sporting
press for mouths. The horsemen are ail
agog for summer work and mightily re
joice over the renewed victories of tho Lo-
riilard stable in England. Mining compa
nies are springing up like mushrooms, and
office rents are going up and up and up
from the influx of strangers. And so too
is beef. In fact everybody who lias any
thing to sell seems to be coining money,
and even the barrooms are blossoming out
with a gorgeousness previously unknown.
The most fashionable room is run by Mr.
Stokes, who belongs to a very evangelical
family, and may be remembered from a
little difference, which attracted some no
tice at the time, with a Mr. James Fisk. He
gave a grand ladies’ reception the other
day, which was numerously attended by
the most stylish of the deed—and semi-
demi-monde, veiled and discreet. One of
the lat*-t decoiations is a very Frenchy
picture by a famous French artist for
which he paid 510,000 at auction.
We can't “git” over that nasty Guiteau
case it seems. It will keep cropping up, as
if every member of the assassin’s family
and every one connected with him were
bitten by the same insane idea of getting
free advertising for their ludicrous incom
petence, malevolence and lack of breeding.
Scoville, for whom people one felt sorry,
and wh > was much applauded for his sup
posed disinterestedness in defending his
brother-in-law “without fee or hope of re
ward”, appears to have accepted a slice of
the money raised by peddling autographs
and photographs of the murderer, and
parades liis troubles with the offensive
persistence of a beggar showing his sores.
He has been lecturing, so has liis wife.—
Now she has run away from him and he
has instituted proceedings in this city
against John Guiteau for her recovery.—

“Well,” said an old gentleman, who stum

The meeting at Toombstone, Arizona, to
denounce Arthur, on account of his proc

The Secret
u>f the universal success of
Brown’s Iron Bitters is sim
ply this; It is the best Iron
preparation ever made; 'is
compounded on thoroughly
scientific, chemical and
medicinal principles, and
docs just what is claimed for
it—no more and no less.
By thorough and rapid
assimilation with the blood,
it reaches every part of the

mencing at the foundation
it builds up and restores lost

lasting benefit be obtained.

The time will come when enterprise and
improved methods of raising, picking, gin
ning, and marketing cotton will givo the
Southern planter a Ixitter crop and a larger
margin than now. At present, cotton-rais
ing in the South is conducted too much on
the plan of farming which prevails here
and there among the poorer and more
shiftless communities of the North and
cortain border States. Tho prime idea is
to raise enough to live. No care is taken
of the soil, and no effort made to enrich it
or preserve Its fortuity. The result is
small crops, poverty-stricken families, and
a general deterioration of land and ambi
tion .together. When there Is combined
with tills the pernicious practice of pledg
ing a prospective crop for supplies, using
up next year’s crop to live through this
year’s winter, tho system has reached a
point where discouragement may well at
tend ttio agriculturist. Yet this plan Is
generally in vogue In tho South, tho plan
ter being first, largely in debt to liis factor
for money and supplii*. and then compell

Now, considering all this, is it a marvel
that li.iloiitoii women don’t find time to
work flower gardens. I am at a loss to un
derstand it. Really, my sisters, you must
do more. Couldn’t you make those thin,
weak little hands of yours lift a spade or a
hoe in addition to all the rest of the labor
they perform? Just think of your poor fee
ble brothei only weighs ICO lbs more or
^Hlcss) or your husband, so worn out ail the
:e of the best I time fighting flies and talking politics down
| town oil a street corner! You couldn’t be
so cruel as to ask them to work in flower
gardens besides, could you?—Talking poli
tics, you must know, is necessary. Talk
ing politics >;■ as what brought on the war,
made us ail ' o rich and happy and put this
land generally in the lovely condition it is
in at present. Talking polities having
been demonstrated to be a success, it is not
surprising that our men spend most of
their time in front of stores and on street
corners still engaged in this profitable bus
iness.
This country is so flourishing however,
everybody is so rich, so free from debt, all
real" estate is so valuable, everybody
home is so beautiful, everybody’s wife
is so care—free and happy,’ everybody’s
children are educated, our town Is so full of
improvements of every kind, we have such
charming parks, such lovely drives, such
shaded avenues, such an elegant town hall,
such a beautiful female academy, such an
attractive arid tasteful “old cemetery,”
such a neat, clean and well-kept fence In
front of the Methodist church, that there
is actually nothing for our male citizens to
; do in Eatonton, and that’s why they sit in
j the shade all day long and whittle sticks,
i chew tobacco, talk polities, or go to sleep
j from sheer inanity. I said talking politics
! was a necessity, but I really don’t know
j why it is a necessity. If I did know, I’d
I tell you. It must lie a necessity, for all
men talk politics. I never knew but one
that didn’t, and the end of that man was so
dreadful it makes me shudder to think of
it. He ’tended to his business, worked
hard; never meddled with politics, and the
result was—he made so much money he
didn’t know what to do with it. I can but
weep when I think how miserable he must
have been. Let all Eatonton men take
warning by this awful example. Let them
be very careful to spend the greater part
of each day gabbing politics and “resting”
in old split bottom chairs, or on top of dry
goods I Mixes under the scanty shade of
those old fire-scorched China trees that
grace our front street, and I’ll wager two
to one they will never be bothered with a
surplus of cash! Very few Eatonton men,
however need my warning.—Most of them
spend their lives in the precise manner I
have indicated, and have not the slightest
anxiety that they’ll ever be in the dreadful
fix of that man alluded to.
I very much fear now that from what
I’ve written somebody will infer that I
think our men are lazy. I’m grieved to
the heart at the thought, and I hope no one
will be unkind enough to draw such a con
clusion from my remarks. “Eatonton men
lazy!” Bring me a fresh handkerchief,
somebody! Mine is soaked thro’ with bit
ter tears! That I should lie accused of mak
ing such an insinuation! Why, there are
men in this town, to my personal knowl
edge, who walk down town twice a day,
twice A day, just think of it! It Is true
they have to sit in the shade ail tlie rest of j
the day to recover from the exertioD, but i
they have been known in the course of |
twenty-four hours to get up and walk from j
one street corner to another besides! fail 1
such men lazy? And let me add I have liv- 1
ed in Eatonton all my life, and in that time j
I have seen, I am sure I have seen, as many
as two men, I am sure I have seen two,
may be tho’ it was but one, at work round
his'house with hammer and nails repair
ing and renovating it. I don’t now recall
any more, but it is tiie fault of my memo
ry. Rest assured that’s it! My memory is
generally good, but when it comes to hav
ing seen t he Eatonton man working round
liis home, it has unaccountably got out of
fix iusl at that point and don’t help me a
Bit to recall what I want. I can’t for the
life of me recollect, either f iiat I have ever
seen an Eatonton man with a paint brush

ail the fault of that provoking memory of
mine—and if it ever gets ill working order
again, I’ll write a eulogy on tho Eatonton
men whom I have seen with their coats off
and at work. I heard somebody say the other
day something that liiled mo with rageand
grief, it was so untrue, such a base slander,
such an abominable fabrication, and this
was it: “The Southern white women and
tin) negro men do all the work that is done
In this country—the Southern white men
and the negro women are the drones in tlie
hive!” Language fails to express my wild
indignation at this speech. I wept copi
ously, I sobbed convulsively, I tore my
hair in anguish to think that any Southern-
bom person should iiave given utterance
to such scandalous, heterodox sentiments,
and this, too, in tho face of such facts as
confront us every day of our lives! What
are we coming to next I’d like to know!
My feelings overpower me! Southern men
accused of being lazy! This Is too much—
too much!
Let’s return to the flower gardens, the
subject I started with. Everybody says
there is a great dearth of these beautitul
ornaments in Eatonton, and everybody Is
light. “Why have we so few flowers?”
Because the ladles of the town haven’t
time or strength to cultivate them. “Why
don't they lure somebody to do It?" Be
cause that free nigger doesn't live in this
town who can work a flower garden with
out chopping down the choicest flowers
with the first lick of his hoe. “Why don’t

AT THE GREAT BATTLEFIELD.
From the Detroit Free Press.
-After looking over the battlefield of
Chancelorsville, I went back to the brick
house for dinner. During my absence a
little red-headed man had arrived, and he
was introduced by tho woman as her
brother-in-law. As soon as I came in lie
began on me:
“Vhas you under Sheneral Sliackson in
dis light?”
“No.”
“I tell you dot vhas an awful fight, my
frendt. Blood poured out shust like it vhas
raining. May be you vhas under Sheneral
Lee, up der blank road?”
“No, I wasn’t.”
“Not under Lee? But dot Sheneral Lee
vhas an awful fighter. Maybe you vhas
mit Early, up at Fredericksburg?”
“No.”
“So? Vhell, dat Early, he vhas a splendid
Sheneral, und he like to fight all der lime.
I feels sure you vhas mit Early. May be
you vhas mit Hooker, eh?”
“No.”
“Not mit Hooker down here! Den you
vhas mit Sedgwick up der road?”
“No.”
“Yheli, by golly! Not mit Shackson nor
Lee—not mit Hooker nor Sedgwick! Vhell!
Vhell! Dot beats me all oafer!”
Both of us fell to and began eating, and
nothing further was said until the meal
was finished and we had gone out to look
at some old cannon wheels in the yard.
Then my friend put his hand on my shoul
der, lowered Lis voice, and said:
“My friend, if you vhas not mit Lee, nor
Shackson, nor Hooker in dis fight, maybe
3’ou und me vhas in der same place?”
“Maybe so. Where were you?”
“In Canada," he whispered,
lie called “good bi’,” after me as I rode
away, but 1 wouldn’t have answered him
for a hundred dollars.
KANSAS BRAISING IT.
tlie gentlemen of tho family, tho big broth
er or husband, or son, work the garden?”
Ah! there you have me. I give It up. I
can’t tell you. It isn’t because they are
luzy? Mercy! no! wouldn’t hint it for the
world. They—they—are busy! They—
they—iiave to play base ball, and—and
march around the court house square, and
—and—I declare, I don’t know that I ever
saw them do anything else in the summer
afternoons, when business Is over, but you
see my memory is so very treacherous.
“Couldn’t they take the same amount of
healthful exercise much more profitably’
in the garden, with a hoe or rake in their
hands instead of a gun?” I, I—really, you
must ask tlie gentlemen themselves.
Now, 1 am perfectly well aware that
what 1 iiave said about llower gardens will
not commend itself favorably to the Ea
tonton man. I shall not receive his thanks.
“While I was in Topeka last 'Winter, said
the Hon. Arthur Edgington, ‘I had a pretty
rough time of it. I got a bad cold, and, then
that not being sufficiently severe I was al
so attacked with rheumatism. Tho pain
was in my left shoulder. At times I al
most writhed in agony. I tell you sir, that
the pain could not Iiave been greater had
my shoulder been screwed up in a vise. I
was utterly helpless, and felt like I was
destined to remain In that condition indefi
nitely. My friends and a physician were
generous in their prescriptions and my
room soon became a miniature apothecary
shop. But nothing did me any good. One
day some one told me I was enduring a
great deal of needless pain when I could
Invest fifty cents In a bottle of St. Jacobs
Oil and be cured. I invested in a bottle of
the Off, rubbed it on my shoulder twice,
and in two days forgot that I ever had
rheumatism. Yes, that is a great remedy,
aud no mistake. They can’t say too much
in favor of its healing power.”
The above was uttered by Mr. Edgington
while sitting in the porch of the La Gonda
Ilouse.at Columbus, the other evening, and
was overheard by an escaped reporter,who
is traveling over the country incog. In
quiry developed tho fact that Mr. Eding-
ton is one of the most widely known men in
Kansas, figuring prominently in politics,
and acting as tho responsible agent of the
Bradstreet Commercial Agency. Upon
subsequently making Mr. Edgington’s ac
quaintance the reporter was assured that
all he had heard was true, and ho was at
liberty to use it in the papers.—Oswego

I The passenger, who was going down the
| big river for the first time in his life, so-
! cured permission to climb up beside tho
j pilot, a grim old grayback, who never told
| a lie in ids life.
! “Many alligators in the river,” inquired
i the stranger, after a look around.
[ “Not so many now, since they got to
shootin’ ’em for their hides and taller,”
| was tiie replj'.
“Used to be-lots, eh?”
“I don’t want to tell you about ’em,
stranger,” replied the pilot, sighing heav
ily.
“Why?”
“ ’Cause you’d tiiink i was a-lyin’ to you,
and that’s sumillin’ I never do. I can
cheat at keerds, drink whiskey, or chaw
poor terbacker, but I can’t lie.”
“Then there used to be lots of ’em?” in
quired the passenger. ,
“I’m most afraid to tell ye, mister, but
I’ve counted ’ieven hundred allygators to
the mile from Vicksburg cl’ar down to New
Orleans- That was years ago, afore a
shot was ever fired at ’em.”
“Well, I don’t doubt it,” replied the
stranger.
“And I’ve counted 3,459 of ’em on one sand
bar.” continued the pilot. “It looks big
to tell, but a Government surveyor was
aboard, and lie checked ’em off as I called
out.”
“I haven’t the least doubt of it,” said the
passenger, as he heaved a sigh.
“I’m glad o’ that, stranger. Some fellers
would think I am a liar, when I’m telling
the solemn truth. This used to be a para
dise for alligators, and they were so thi?k
that the wheels of the boat killed an aver
age of forty-nine to the mile 1”
“Is that so?”
“True as Gospel, mister! I used to al
most feel sorry for tiie cussed brutes,
’cause they'd cry out e’en most like a hu
man being. Wo killed lots of ’em, as I
said, and we hurt a pile more. I sailed
with oneCaptain who alius carried a thou
sand bottles of liniment to throw over the
wounded ones!”
“He did?”
“True as you live, ho did. I don’t ’spect
I’ll ever see another such a kind, Christian
man. And tho alligators got to know the
Nancy Jane, and to knowCapt. Toni, and
they’d swim out and nib their tails agin
the boat an’ purr iike eats, an’ look up and
try to smile!”
“They would?”
“Solemn truth, stranger! And once when
we grounded on a bar, with an opposition
boat rightbehlnd, the alligators gathered
around, got under iier stern, aud jumped
her clean over tho bar by a grand push!
It looks like a big story, but I never told a
lie yet, and I never shall; I wouldn’t lie for
all tho money you could put aboard tiffs
boat.”
There was a painful pause, and after a
while the pilot continued:
“Our mgines giu out once, and a crowd
of alligators took a tow line and hauled us
forty-live miles up stream to Vicksburg.”
“They did?”
-“Ami when the news got along the river
that Capt. Tom was dead, every alligator
on the river daubed his left ear with mud
as a badge of mournin’, and lots of ’em
pined and died.”
Tlie passenger left the pilot house with
the remark that he didn't doubt tlie state
ment and tho old man gave the wheel s
turn, and replied:
“Thar’s one thing 1 wou’t do for love
nor money, and that’s make a liar of my
self. I was brung up by a good mother,
and I’ll stick to the truth if tiffs boat don’t
make a cent.”
A young lady was recently noticed by iier
mother to be fondling and kissing a pet
kitten. “Why, Mary, sni-.i the mother,
“you have kissed that kitten more in five
minutes than you have me in five years.”
“Don’t you know why I’d rather kiss the ;
kitten than you, mother?” “No. my child.” j

The conditions of success are these: I
first, work; second, concentration; third, !
fitness. Labor is tne genius which changes j
the ugliness of the world into beauty; that

the chance.
One man with a trade is worth a dozen
without one. A return to the old plan of i
apprenticing boys to trades is being advo
cated. The hosts of young men in every i
large city who apply for employment and !
fall to get it, for the reason that’ ttiey can- ■
not truthfully affirm that they are educa- ;
ted or especially fitted for any particular j
business, constitute a potent argument in
favor of reform. Under the apprenticeship
system wo should have lower ignorant
mechanics and Incompetent business men.
A trade is half a man’s fortune.
There is nothing that will wholly pre
vent sunburn to a sensitive skin long ex
posed to the action of the sun. Avoiding
bathing the face for several hours previous
to going out and powdering it with starch,
or any simple toilet powder, will be found
of great assistance. On going into tho
house after long exposure, no matter how
heated you may be, do not be tempted to
bathing your face again that day, but ap
ply powder instead. At night upon retir
ing again usp the powder. The best and
simplest kind for this purpose is that made
from starch. This practice will remedy in
great measure the annoyance in question.
It will be well also to bear in mind that the
effect not only of sun but wind is much
more lasting when the skin is wet either
immediately before or after exposure. La
dies in the Southern States, alive to this
fact, allow a morning ablution only for
face and neck per diem. Tlie starch ad
vised, which reduces redness of tho skin
when caused bvsun and wind and prevents
to a considerable degree the aftortan. is
readily reduced to a fine powder by rub
bing it through tho fingers or rolling it.
