Konlz, of the Pullman sleeping car company’. The friends of Henry D. McDaniel claim that he is now in the race for the Govern orship, which announcement has somewhat changed the prospects of the campaign. Hon. Alexander H. Stephens always oc cupied the northwest corner room on the first floor of the National Hotel at Wash- ington, In which Henry Clay died. The birth-place of Joe Blown can be seen from an eminence near Tallulah Falls, says a correspondent of the Postr-Appcal; and it can be seen from the pig-pen’s old place, as well. The remains of John Howard Payne reached New York on the 22nd, and were placed in the Governor’s room at the City Hall. They wore taken to Washington City on Saturday in a special car. Twenty-nine murders and homicides have been committed in Rabun county, Ga., since the war, says the Post-Appeal, and no criminal has paid the death penal ty. This will go North, but It is a slander, and we believe a mistake. The old armory property In Macon, own ed by W. A. Huff and which cost him first and last $15,000, was sold on Thursday for the sum of $35,000, thus netting Mr. Huff the handsome profit of 20,000. Huff bought It just after the war from the city. Hon. David Davis wonders whv the peo ple of Augusta have not builta first class hotel on the Sand Hills Chronicle and Constitutionalist. What’s the matter? Wasn’t any of the city hotels good enough for him, or was there no one big enougli to hold him? If Mr. Boynton Is not Governor of Geor gia during the interregnum, who Is? Why did he take the oath of office, and by r what power did he order an election and call the legislature together, If he is not the actual Governor? The Greensboro Herald says: •Atlanta’s evening papers, the Star and the Journal, are a credit to the city’ and the State. Both are ably edited and beautiful ly printed. They deserve a wide circula tion. The Union & Recorder endorses the above—every line, every word. Waldo P. Wtl9on, Darlot, Ga., says: Brown’s Iron Bitters cured my mother of dyspepsia when all other remedies fail ed.” The Charlotte Journal says: “Mr. fra. Bost, of Clear Creek township, in this county’, has an infant seventeen days old that weighs only 1% pounds. It’s face is so small that a silver dollar will cover it. This Is probably the smallest living child ever known. It is most of the time appa rently asleep or In a comatose condi tion. A Pleasant Letter.—The letter we print In another column,from Judge R. H. Clark, relates charmingly an incident in the life of Maj. John H. Steele, which will be read with pleasure by many who were not per sonally acquainted with that noted old Ed itor and remarkable man. We thank the Judge for an opportunity to put in an en during shape an incident in the life of the dignified “Old Major.” The following item, which we clip from one of our Georgia exchanges, shows a re markable paternity: “Rev. A. R. Wright, Rome, Ga., aged 66, has 18 children, and Rev. C. S. Harris, aged 48, has the same number, says the Index. The late Rev. Crawford Tucker, of Colquitt county, was the father of thirty-two. and there is a col ored man in Mitchell who is the father of thirty-seven.” Our handsome contemporary, the Atlan ta Evening Journal, speaks of the building by the Georgia road of a number of dwell ings for laborers in the city of Milledge- vllle, at the junction of “the Montgomery and Eufaula and Georgia roads.” We wrote it "Milledgeville and Eatonton and Georgia roads.” Our sprightly friend should follow copy better or get a new map. Easter Sunday.—A cold East wind prevailed all day Saturday which culmi nated In a regular nor’-easter on Saturday night and Sunday morning. This was not the sort of “Easter” the fashionablo female World had counted upon. The fine “flxins” so studiously prepared by the votaries of fashion, among women, re ceived a damper that took the starch out of their expectations if not out of their millinery. But the dear creatures should not utterly too too fret about it. They can wear them on "All Fool’s Day,” next Sunday, which will probably be a more appropriate occasion for a display of gorgeous and costly apparel in these tight times. OLD TIMES. MAJ. J. H. STEELE. Atlanta, Ga., March 21st, 1883. Dear Joe: I thank you for sending me your sketch es of old times during your boyhood, and early manhood, days at the old capital. I enjoy them very much. I knew of the men and incidents whereof you write. Many of the happiest days of my early manhood were passed at dear old Mil- | ledgeville. Your sketch of Maj. Steele j calls to mind an interesting incident, of ; which he was the principal personage. But i before I relate it, I must premiso a little, j Ho was a man or much dignity. Getting ; along In j’ears, his hair was quite gray. ' This gave him a venerable, as well as dig nified appearance. Whatever he did, from the greatest to the smallest, he did it with an air of elegant leisure, so In keeping with his imposing presence. He could smoke a cigar, T>r take a drink, from the finest wine down to the commonest whis key, with a grace of manner beyond any other man. Ip doing the latter, it was his habit to hold his glass until he related some pleasing anecdote, or incident, and then drink with a deliberation that was elaborate, as well as dignified. By this time, each of his companions had swallow ed liis potation with more or less of haste, and could look serenely on the Major, while ho was enjoying his. It was at the session of 1859-60, the place, theroom of the Muscogee members, at the old MeComb Hotel. There were present some eight or ten friends who had there gathered to pass an evening with poor Emmett Dixon and his colleagues. It was about ten o’clock at night, when all had simultaneously risen, “to disperse to their respective abodes,” and thus separate un til morning. There was, as was the cus tom then, the usual glass at parting. As was, also, usual with that company, the Major bad the lloor, discoursing his young companions, for he was old enough to be the father of every man present, unless uncle John Maund of Talbot should have been there. There was nothing to break the silence but the Major’s melodious voice, while concluding his discourse. When ho ceased there was profound si lence. There was neither speech nor ac tion to break it, until just when the glass touched his lips, and all eyes weie upon him, Albert Lamar broke forth to the sur prise of every one and repeated in a low, deep tone, these lines from Hamlet: “Let the kettle to the trumpet speak, The trumpet to the cannoneer without, The cannons to the heavens, heavens to earth, The King drinks ” It was so sudden—so enexpeeted, so ap propriate, that it “brought down the house,” and the Major drank the contents of his glass amid deafening applause. I have never witnessed any private incident of a trivial nature have such a dramatic effect. It wiil be appreciated the more when I say, the Major was really, from his age, his dignity, and the respect shew ed him by his young companions, “the King among us a’.” Oa ordinary occa sions ho would tower above us, like an Indian Chief in the midst of his tribe and thus impressed, Albert Lamar would some times, on convivial occasions, call him “Tuste Nuggeo.” The title of Major suit ed him, and ho the title. He began with that rank, retained it for many j’ears, and repeatedly refused promotion. Albert Lamar aud Phil Tracy were his pri le, his pets, his idols. They were bril liant, and he was proud of them—kind and considerate to him—and he loved them. When they called him Major, it was a term of endearment, and he called them Albert and Pliil, with the same tenderness. He loved the company of j’oung men and as a habit associated with no others. But at last, the old Major’s happy career had to close. When the principal editor.of the Atlanta Intelligencer, in November, 1870, he was taken with a lingering illness, from which he never recovered. He died in the early part of Januarj’, 1871, in the 65th j’ear of his age. I saw him on his death bed, and attended his funeral, Rev. Dr. Brantly, officiating. The last time I saw him was a few days before his death. He was 'calm, patient and resigned. He would not speak unless spoken to. The situation, the subject was to him too deep for speech. If j’ou spoke to him, he would answer intelligibly and with his manner in health. While I was there, his sister’ Mrs. Brewer, left to return to her home near by, and in bidding him good bj’e, said, “Brother John, look to the great Physician.” He replied, “I am looking.” These were the last words I heard him spr-ak, and I am told he maintained the same silence, although able to speak, until death deprived him of that, and of every other facultv. Bich’d. H. Clark. We visitod Eatonton last week. The Su perior Court was in session—Judge Law- son presiding. While business in Court has diminished since the adoption of Pro hibition in Putnam countj’, we are inform ed that all other kinds of business has greatly Increased. The stock law is also giving entire satisfaction. With “no fence” and “no whiskey”, old Putnam is setting a noble example for other portions of the State. With au intelligent, Christian pop ulation, healthful climate and fertile fields, there is, probably, no other community of fering brighter prospects of peace and plenty in life and hope in death. We had the pleasure of meeting Messrs. Adams of the Messenger and Reese of the Chronicle, and can pay them no higher compliment than to say their papers are worthy of the liberal support of that high ly favored people. ADDRESS BY HON. JOSEPH GJXAHL. We intended ere this, to spread before our readers the erudite and classical ad dress of Hon. Joseph Ganahl at the recent closing exercises of the Medical College of Augusta. A large auditory was present and the address was greatly applauded. We have the pleasure of publishing a part of it in this issue of our paper and will con clude it next week. He treated his sub ject, “Century Plants” with masterly pow er, and in a new way both in stylo and mat ter. There was nothing vague and com mon place about it, and all the part3 were grouped together in his allusions to poli tics, science, government, art, and the vast changes and improvements in the past century, in medical philosophy, and investigation, in a brief ami comprehensive style and with a felicity of language which enchained the attention of, and delighted bis hearers. Mr. Ganahl is a gentleman of great versatility or talent, a scholar, a profound lawyer, deeply read in medical science, and withal, one of the most finish ed orators in’our State. We know that our readers will commend us for laying before them this instructive and elegant address. Mr. Wm.C.Cooke. Genl. Agent of the Peo ple’s Mutual Relief Association of Atlanta, is at the Oconee House. He will spend the week in our city in the interest of his old and well-known Association. We have been a member of the “People’s Mutual” for several years and take pleasure in re commending it to our friends and patrons. Don’t let this opportunity pass to make a safe and inexpensive provision for your families. The “People’s Mutual” has paid out over $500,000 to the widow and orphan in our own and adjoining States in the past live years. It has a large and growinglnem- bership and numbering among its mem bers the most prominent business and pro fessional men In the country. It is purely a business association; no lodges or secrecy, but managed by officers of long experience in life insu rance. Mr. Cooke will bo happy to explain the plans of his Association to any gentle man or lady and we promise, you that you will not be bored. “Fools take to themselves the respect' given to their office.” But Kidney-Wort commands respect for its own solid merits, ; tested, tried and found not wanting in any essential principle required for the cure of dyspepsia, piles, malaria, arid all diseases of the kidneys, bowels and liver.

Rowell & Co s American Newspaper Directory, which is now in press, it ap pears that the newspapers and periodicals of all kinds issued in the United States and Territories now reach the imposing total of 11,196. This is an increase of 585 in twelve months. Taking the States one by one, the newspaper growth in some is very considerable. The present total in New York State, for instance, is 1,399— a gain or 80 in the past year. The In crease in Pennsylvania is 48, the existing number being 943. Nebraska’s total grew from 175 to 201, and Illinois’ Horn 890 to 904. A year ago Massachusetts had 420 papers: now the number is 438. In Texas the new papers outnumbered the suspen sion by 8, and Ohio now has 738 papers instead of 692. The most remarkable change has occurred in the Territories, in which the daily papers have grown from 43 to 63, and the weeklies from 169 to 243— Dakota being the chief area of activity. The number of monthlies throughout the country grew from 976 to 1,031, while the dailies leaped from 916 to 1,062. The fig' ures given above are exclusive of Canada, which possesses a total of 606. It is inter esting to note that the newlj’ settled re gions of the Canadian North-west are productive of newspapers as well as of wheat, for the number of journals issued in Manitoba was nearly doubled during the year. The Publishers of the Richmond Ya., En quirer heartily recommend Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup and say: “It has been weU tried in our office nnd composing room, and has cured our city editor of a very bad ease of Bronchitis. For Governor—Oo*. Phil. Cook. Baldwin Co., March 24th, 1883. Messrs. Editors Union Jfc Recorder : I see from the papers that Gen. Phil. Cook, of Sumpter county, refuses to enter the scramble for the office of Governor, but says he would accept the nomination If tendered him. Now Messrs. Editors, Gen. Cook, as you well know, is one of the true noblemen of the South, a man who has been tested and tried in various exalted positions and has never been found wanting or known to fal ter nor flinch, when duty called him. On the tented field, the bloody battle ground, the bails of the legislature and on the floors of Congress, ho has proven himself every inch a man; ever true and faithful to his State and people. He passed through the dark daj’s of reconstruction, with a clean record, unpolluted by the radical quagmire, untaiuted and unstained by any political trickery of those gloomy days, but re mained true as steel to southern demo- cracj’. He is not seeking the office, but as one of the humble citizens of Georgia, is willing to serve, as in the past, his people in any capacity they may see proper to place him. A man, clear-headed, honorable, able, and in every sense of the word, capacita ted |for |the Intricate duties of a Chief Magistrate. And I think, Messrs. Editors, It should bo the pride of all true Georgians to rally, and In their primary elections, send delegates to the Atlanta Convention, instructed to vote for Gon. Phil. Cook; ten der him the honor, though unsolicited, of the democratic nomination. As our stand ard bearer in the gubernatorial campaign, we will have nothing to fear, and as our Governor, nothing to regret. Yi'hy can’t we then rally old Baldwin county for him, next Saturday, at our primary election? Where are the surviving members of the old Baldwin Blues? the old Fourth Georgia Regiment? and the battle-scarred veterans of Phil. Cook’s Brigade? Let them rally as in daj-s past, carry Baldwin oounty and other counties, throughout the State, for Gen. Cook, and let us triumphantly nominate and victoriously elect him as our Chief Magistrate. Georgian. DEATH OF CAPT. TOM MAPP. Capt. W. T. Mapp, Rome’s efficient City Treasurer, after a lingering lUuess of sev eral weeks, died yesterday afternoon at half past two o’clock. The cause of his death was consumption, with which ho has been afflicted for several years. Cap tain Mapp was one of our most quiet, hon orable and upright citizens, exemplifying in his life a most noble character. While he was unostentatious in his intercourse with others, ho was one of our most active business men, having occupied positions of honor and trust on various occasions. He leaves a wife and several little children to mourn his loss. His funeral wiU take place to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. The bereaved have our sympathy in this dark hour of distress Rome Courier, 22ud. W. T. Mapp, one of our most respected citizens, breathed his last yesterday at 2 p. m. Capt. Mapp had been in feeble health for nearly two years. He had a violent attack of pneumonia e-bout two years ago which so much impaired his constitution as to render him feeble ever afterwards. Deceased was born in Mount Zion, Hancock county, Ga., removed to Milledgeville where ho married and came to Romo sixteen years ago. Ho was a member or the City Council for several j’ears, and was th r ee years City Treasurer, being the incumbent of that office at the time of his death. He was a man of mark ed character, earnest and true, of a high sense of honor an unimpeachable integrity. We knew him as a boy at hi9 home at Mt.Zion, and in his boyhood he gave token of the type of manhood ho was destined to develop. As a boy he was high-toned and honorable, and markedly strong In his at tachments—deeming no saoriflee too groat, if, by it, ho could serve his friends. This trait was inborn and ineradicable in ills nature. He met death with that calmness which characterized his fearless ■life, and in the arms of his fond wife took leave of his earthly abode with that resig nation which is the best evidence of a con sciousness of having lived a life of recti tude. We tender to his aged mother our heart felt sympathies in her bereavement. With his wife we mingle the tears of deep and bitter sorrow, and with his boys we can say we, too, have lost a friend whose place can never be filled by another. May God In ills bountiful goodness and mercy watch over shield and protect these afflicted ones. Let them remember that He Is all in ail to the widow and orphans, and implicit trust in him, is the only balm that wo can offer their bleeding wounds. The funeral services will take place at St. Peters Episcopal Church (next) Good Fri day at 10 o’clock p. m. from whence the Cortege will proceed to Myrtle Hill Ceme tery where the burial will take place.— Rome-Bulietln. The City Council and the Fire Depart ment of Romo took appropriate action and attended the funeral. Sept. 14th, 1880. Hod Bitters Co., Toronto: I have been sick for the past six years, suffering from dyspepsia and general weakness. I have used three bottles of Hop Bitters, and they have done wonders for me. I am well and able to work, and eat and sleep well. I cannot say too much for Hop Bitters. SIMON ROBBINS. Mrs. Sarah Simmons, youngest daugh ter of Mr. James Moran and wife of Mr. James Simmons, died at her residence in Baldwin county, August 20tb, 1882, in the thirty-ninth year of her age. It is a sad thing to die under the most favorable circumstances, but when a par ent is taken from little children, it in creases the sadness. This was the ease with Mrs. Simmons, for she left four little children and a devoted husband to mourn their loss: But in the midst of their sorrowing they can find a place of rejoicing, for she died a triumphant Christian death. She was apprised of her condition several days be fore her death—talked freely about dying and seemed resigned to God s will—to live or die. She was of the Primitive Baptist persuasion in her religious belief. 1 have noticed that she always seemed glad to meet her friends and enjoy their socidty. She died in the house in which she was born, and lived in it nearly the whole of her life. She was a good neighbor, an affectionate mother and devoted wife. We believe that Jesus was with her In the passage across death’s cold stream, and that she is now enjoying the society of sainted friends who have gone before in the land of eternal bliss. May God ble98 the bereaved. ' A Friend. Died.—Near Milledgeville, Ga., July the 15th, 1882, William Augustus, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. James M. Simmons, aged 9 months.

The closing exercises of the Medical De partment of the Ualversity of Georgia were held to-day at noon in the medical Theatre, in the presence of the medical faculty, students and a large audience of ladies and gentlemen. Chancellor Meli. of the University, and Dr. DeSaussure Ford representing Dr. Geo. W. Rains, Dean of the Medical Faculty, presided Thg public address was made by the Hon. Joseph Ganahl, M. D., and when introduced by Mr. DeS. Ford he entered at once upon his theme and spoke as fol lows : My subject is “Century Plants.” On the interesting occasion which calls us together, which to you, young gentle men, is epochal in your lives, It may not bo improper cursorily to recall the history of the past. I propose during the few minutes in which I shall challenge your attention to indicate briefly the advance the human family has made In every department of civilization and enlightenment within the last one hundred j’ears, and summarily to show that In no province has tbL ad vance been more accelerated, and that not one is fuller of promise than >*our benefi cent vocation. Previous centuries appear only to have prepared the soil in which one hundred j’ears ago seed were sown in the fields of politics, of industry, of science and of speculation, the fruits of which are now diffused over and enrich the earth. From these, which I shall call “Century Plants,” we are gathering a peace, a prosperity and a plenty surpassing the sweep of the poet, or the dream of the philosopher. An Arcadia, not of piping shepherds in a gar den of innocence, but of mankind on the face of the earth supplied with the crea ture comforts of civilized life—an Utopia; not where gold is contemned and man is unswerved by passion, but where indus try begots wealth, and no man is above the majesty and no man below the protec tion of the law. And first the plant in the field of poli tics. It was a hundred years ago that the war of the Revolution was fighting. “The most important event,” says Lord Broug ham, “in the history of our species.” The broad principles of the Declaration of In dependence had been sown, and the plant was being watered by blood! The doctrines that ail men had an inalienable right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that all men were created free and equal, and that the foundation of gov ernment is the consent of the governed were then first expressed by the nervous and incisive pen of Jefferson. Now not a government in Europe save Russia and Turkey, gainsay their truth. In Europe one hundred j’ears ago there was not a government in whose councils the people were represented. I include Switzerland and the Netherlands, where this representation wai nominal, not real. Even England, which has given so much to the cause of freedom, with its Magna Charts and Bill of Rights, its Habeas Corpus and Trial by Jury, formed no ex ception to tills broad statement Whole classes o' the best subjects were ineligible to office and deprived of suffrage. The Jew and the Catholic alike were under civil disabilities. Landed interest and the patronage of birth and wealth filled the House of Commons, aa it did the House ofPoer9. Neither population nor commu nity interest entered as elements into the composition of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Rich and prosperous cities like Leeds, Birmingham, Manches ter and Sheffield sent not one deputy to the councils of the nation, while a dis trict with an ale bouse and one elector, like the rotten borough of Old Sarum, sent up two members to the house of Commons. These boroughs belonged to proprietors who nominated the member and transmitted his name to the voter. One Duke in this way, sent eleven mem bers to Parliament, another My Lord nine, another seven, others six, and so on to the end of the chapter. These bor oughs were bought and sold In the mar ket. The nomination for the borough of Gatton, with seven electors, who voted two Right Honorables into Parliament at the instance of the proprietor, was with out the estate appraised at a half million of dollars. Well might Sidney Smith only fifty years ago, without the exer cise of his wit, cry out, “What right has this Lord or that Marquis to buy ten seats in Pailiament in the shape of pock et boroughs and then make laws to govern me? 1 But these abuses have been reformed. Parliament which then essentially, as it does now literally, rule the country has become subject to the people and is under the dominion of public opinion. With the rest of Europe, save Russia and Turkey the Jeffersonian doctrines are recognized and applied. France and Spain have become republican even in form, and all the leading nations admit the principle of constitutional government —that power depends on the consent of of the governed and is held by the voice of the people, not by the point of the baj’- onet. Another Century Plant whose benefi cent fruits It is difficult to enumerate, be cause the count would comprise the pro duction and the cheapening of nearly every commodity of life, is Watt’s im provement In the steam engine. By it man has gained a servant which indefi nitely multiplies and transports and ex changes every product or his hand and brain. It shrinks the travel of a day into the compass of an hour, the work of a year into the compass of adaj’. It has turned luxu ries into comforts and comforts into ne cessities of life and brought $bera to the poor roan's door. The surface of the earth and the expanse of the waters are traversed by Its power. By diffusing knowledge over distant centres of popula tion and drawing them into constant In tercourse, it has given a brotherhood to the nations, and still Itsr*ign shall not cease until in the elegant language of Dr. Lardner, “until reason shall have sup planted forced and the pen Instead of the sword become the arbiter of nations.” But while the steam engine afforded the instrument by which commerce was to be quickened and wealth multiplied, there was planted and grew, along with it another tree, one hundred j’ears ago— the rational principles by which that com merce was to be guided. In the same year that Richard Henry Lee Introduced into Congress the resolution “That these Uni ted Colonies are and ought to be free and Independent States,” in the >*ear 1776, there appeared on the other side of the water Adam Smith’s “Inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations,” Be fore this era the doctrine obtained that In every traffic one side of the two must be a loser from the bargain. This work of Adam Smith demonstrated that If trade be unfettered, every exchange of commodi ties made both sides the richer, and that wealth came not from the possession of the precious metals, but was founded on the unrestricted interchange of commerce. The lesson has enlightened and revolutionized legislation throughout the wot id. Says Buckle: “Adam Smith contributed more by the publication of this single work to ward the happiness of man than has been effected by the united abilities of all the statesmen and legislators of whom histo ry has preserved a record.” [concluded next week.] set The Scarlet, Cardinal Red, Old Gold, Navy Blue, Seal Brown, Diamond Dyes give perfect results.

They blew up the Government Board Office in London, thinking|it was the Home Office, occupied by Sir Wm. Harcourt, who so unrelentingly supported all the measures to oppress them. They attempted, too, to blow up the Times Office. This shows that they are determined upon war to the knife. The British Government has offered a reward of one thousand pounds sterling ($5,000 dollars) for the discovery of the au thors of the explosion. They were resolv ed to punish the Times, also, which paper they charge with endeavoring to excite mob violence against the Irish. O’Dooo- van Kossa a few days since was asked, (Rossa is in New York) whether the explo sion was caused by dynamite, or was an accident. He said it was dynamite, there was no accident about it. When asked if the object was simply to destroy the build ing or to kill those within it? he answered, “It was intended to do al! the damage pos sible and it was done to show England that she had better give Ireland her own Parlia ment. England is at war with Ireland and Ireland should be at war with England.” The truth In ail this matter lies in a nut-shell. The Irish are unjustly oppress ed and the sympathies or the lovers of lib erty and justice, are with her. The con- tost Is an ^unequal one, but sooner or later England will find out as she did in the case of America that her cruel policy will liave to be abandoned. The London police force has been in creased by one thousand men, and tho staff, of tho detectives on duty at night, are doubled. The Socialists in Rbiems, to seduce the soldiers stationed there, threw over the wall of their barracks placards giving di rections for the blowing up of public build ings. Nine persons, engaged therein, were arrested. The Lady Florence Dixie affair Is puz zling everybody In London. A gardener, who was potting geraniums 30 yards from the scene of the attack, heard no noise nor observed any indications of the outrage. Lady Florence saj's she called upon her husband for help. She should be sorry to attribute the outrage to the Land League. At a communistic banquet held in the Rue Temple on the 18th, a toast was drank in honor of the commune and revolutiona ry speeches were made. The meeting shouted “Long live the Commune,” and sang the Carmagnole. The Carmagnole was a song and dance very popular in France in 1793. In honor of Karl Marks, a very large meeting was held in the Cooper Union, Now York, on the night of the 19th instant. Tho red flag of the commune was every where displayed, and a picture of Karl Marks, framed in black and surmounted with the motto, “Vive L’lnternationale”, hung over the platform. The speakers eulogized the domestic and public virtues of the dead socialist. The resolutions were read in English and German and unani mously adopted. They were eulogistic of Mr. Marks opening thus; “The world of labor is plunged In sorrow. Its most pow erful thinker, its noblest hero, Karl Marks is no more,” and go on to speak of his devo tion to the laboring classes, his opposition to monopolies, the concentration of all in dustries In the hands of a few by which the working classes were robbed of the fruits of their toil to reduce them to slave ry and degradation, and finally pledging themselves to stand by his teachings and never to forget Ida appeal: “Working men of the world unite.” LADY FLORENCE DIXIE. The statement, in a London dispatch of tho 18th about Lady Florence Dixie, in brief, was this: while walking in a seclud ed spot near the woods, she was attacked by two men disguised In woman’s clothes. Her dress was cut with daggers In several places but she received no injury. At first they asked her what time it was. She an swered that she had no watch. Much alarmed the started to walk awaj’. One of the men seized her, and struggling to get away seeing their daggers, she fell in a swoon. This took place about 4 o’clock p. m, and she did not recover her senses till 4.45 p. m. The saving of her life 19 attrib uted to her St. Bernard dog which it is supposed protected her while in the swoon- The last thing she remembered was the ef fort of one or the men to push a quantity of mud into her mouth. On recovery she found of her palms cut and her gloves se vered. A broad steel corset rib was reach ed by the weapon which penetrated to the interlining of her dress at the first stroke, and broken by the second stroke. Her dog she thinks, and the passage of a cart caus ed the scoundrels to leave. She remembers seeing her dog drag one of the men back wards. Dr. Friederick Engel, an intimate friend of Kerl Marx, says that Marx died in Lon don, near Regent’s Park. Dr. Engel was present at the time of his death, which was caused by bronchitis, abscess of tho lungs and internal bleeding. He died without pain. Karl Marx was the founder of the Inter national Working Association. Ever; Mae His On Boss. How| to promote Personal Power—a New Radical Reformer. “There is no provision in the Dlvlneecon- omy for political bosses!” With a bang of his fist, and in tho voice of a man who had made up his mind on the subject, Rev. James Chambers, or Cav alry Presbj’terian Cnurch, Harlem recent ly opened his sermon with this Announce ment. He was right. The only boss au thorized by tho Book is mentioned in these words: “He who ruleth his own spirit is greater than he who taketh a city.” Commonly, tho better side of men Is subject to the despotism of the worse side. Bad passions, bad humors, mean jealous ies and base revenges are all bosses. One of the worst of bosses is bile. What is most depressing in philosophical or theo logical thought is due to it. Old General Debility is another tj’rannical boss. He lashes men who are naturally good un- ail they become naturally bad or misera bly weak. Concerning his deliverance from this bondage. Rev. S. P. Lewis, pastor of the Eighth Street Baptist Church, St. Louis Mo., writes: “I was suffering from exhaus tion and general debility. As an invigo- rant I used Parker's Ginger Tonic. I never met with anything so effective. It Is an elegant family medicine. I take a bottle in my valise when I go on my annu al vacations.” Parker's Ginger Tonic neither intoxi cates nor promotes a desire for strong drinks. The most pronounced temperance people use and praise it for this reason alone. It cures Malarial Fevers, Con sumption, Rheumatism, and all diseases of the Blood. Also weaknesses peculiar to women. Its action is prompt and pervas ive. Test it once, and you will adopt it os a home remedy. Prices, 50 cents and $1 a bottle. Hiscock * Co., New York.

OUR NEIGHBORS. MKRRiwether. March 23rd, 1383. Editors Union <fc Recorder : A mad dog was killed at Mr. Charles Harper’s Thursday. Very little prospect of fruit in this sec tion for this year. , A good deal of sickness near this place. Mr. E. P. Folds and family are quite sick with catarrhal fever. Messrs. Humphries and Baines families, down with measlos. Several negroes quite 111 with Pneumo nia at Mr. Minor’s. It Is with pleasure that we note tho re covery of our beloved Superintendent Mr. B. H. Jones, from a serious attack of Pneumonia, and «ve hope he will be able to be out soon,'also Mr. Rufus Roberts of this place. Farmers are generally through planting corn and replanting gardeus. Mr. Zubers, of Cuthbert a nephew of Gen. S. P. Myriek passed through the place enroute for Eatonton. He is doing a lively business in the coffee line. Several learned limbs of tho law, and Col. Blount, also Mr. Moore of your excel lent paper smiled pleasantly as they pass ed Merrlwether. Guess they were looking at Mr. Wingfield’s prosperous school. Mrs. Tatum aud Miss Ellen Tatum havo been quite ill. Mrs. Chas. Booker and Mrs. Huff are recovering. Mr. Harrison of Dennis station, Mr. Jesse Beall of Milledgeville, and Mr, Phil. Moore of Alabama, are visiting this place. The latter, a nephew of Mr. W. T. Green. Mr. E.Z. Brown is visiting Eatonton. A sawmill at work at Mr. Wm. Home’s. • E. WILKINSON. From the Southerner. There is a sugarberry bush growing near here that has two kinds of fruit—ono of sugarberries aud the other of chiuaber- ries. There is a little history connected with one of the chimneys across the way, at tached to the house occupied by Mr. C. M. Branan. This chimney, of long standing, was the work of a man long since dead, so we have been told. The interesting part of the history connected with tho piece ot masonry in question, however, is this: We have been informed from an authen tic standpoint that the brick of which tho chimney is built was manufactured con jointly by man and wife, using their feet in preparing the mortar but how the ancient pair manipulated the mortar is not given, but it Is to be presumed that tho woman must have appeared rather ridiculous jumping up and down and squelching tho sticky mud between her toes. HANCOCK. From the Ishmielite. The oat crop 19 not so promising in Han cock as it was this time last j’ear. There was organized in Sparta on last Wednesday night, a Council of the Royal Arcanum. The new Council promises well. It is rumored that Hon. F. G. DuBignon will make the memorial address in Sparta this year. Mr. DuBignon is an elegant speaker and would entertain the large au dience that attends these services yearly, in Sparta, to an exhibition of chaste and choice oratory. Mrs. Dr. Wilber Rogers and Miss Lizzie Wiley were very much fi ightenod last week by an ill disposed cow that had made, i ts way on the doctor's premises, and but for the timely interference of a negro man the ladles might have been seriously hurt. The Doctor very promptly shot the cow, but with what effect we did not learn. WASHINGTON. IFrom the Herald.| A turpentine farm, the first we believe ever established in this county is now la operation near Beding, Messrs. Thomas and Ursy being proprietors. We saw a large lot of new oak barrels in Tennille a few days ago shipped to these gentlemen from New York. To ship barrels from New York to this wooden country is like hauling coal to New Castle. The lack of manufacturing establishments entails in calculable loss to the South. The City Council has had four tall sub stantial ladders made, to diminish the fire risks of city property, by !>eing ready for service in case of fire. This is a precau tionary measure that all will sanction The ladders have been painted that they may be tbe better preserved, aud at neat shelter made in the court yard in which they may be kept dry. PUTNAM. From the Messenger. Mr. Robt. J. Little, one of Putnam’s most beloved citizens, is dead. B. W. Hunt, of Eatonton, has shipped a Jersey heifer to Warchester county, New York. He received for tho handsome calf of Putnam county the8um of two hundred and fifty dollars—which operation speaks well for Putnam’s stock enterprise.—Sa vannah News. In addition to the above sale, Mr. Hunt last week sold to W. J. Northern, of Han cock, two Jersey calves—ono bringing $225 and the other $175. The only case of importance before the Putnam Superior Court was, The State vs. Calvin Jordan. Last October a white mau by the name of S. H. McKavitt, disappear ed, and three or four days afterwards he was found dead In the woods—his skull fractured and his body badly bruised. A negro of bad character, by the name of Calvin Jordan was suspicioned. Investi gation brought out tbe strongest circum stantial evidence against him and lie was found guilty and sentenced to the peniten tiary for life. A man by the name of Dr. J. P. Smith, from Atlanta, died very suddenly at the Eatonton Hotel on Wednesday night, of oonjeetion of the lungs. He was selling medicines and jewelry. He stated before be died that be had a wife and one child in Atlanta. Mr. O. P. Heath, of Macon, is agent for the White Bronze Monuments. For beautj", price and durability, they caunot be ex celled ; specimens of which can be seen at our cemetery. He is also agent for Marble and Granite Monuments.
