Wasliburne, in the November num ber of the North American Review, recalls most vividly the exciting days of ’til, and corrects some popular myths that have been so generally received as to become almost a part of history. According to Mr. Wash- burue. the famous “Scotch Cap’’ which Lincoln is supposed to have worn when he went to Washington, must go into iiction. He says : “There lias been a great deal print ed in the newspapers about Mr. Lin coln's arrival in Washington, and about the “Scotch Cap’’ and “Big Shawl ' lit* wore through Baltimore, most of which is mere stuff. * * * He had on a soft low-crowned hat, a muffler around his neck, and a short bob-tailed overcoat. * * * I must confess, he looked more like a well-to- do farmer than the President of the United States.” Toombs and the Union Flag. A friend has just told us ail incident hi the life of the dying statesman and patriot, which we have never seen in print. In ISO',’, when the confederate army was in Maryland, some Union ladies, presuming upon the privileges of their sex, arranged a couple of U. S. flags over the road which Gen'l. Toombs and his command were pass ing, so that it became necessary eith er to order liis men to remove them, or to submit to the supposed humilia tion of passing under them. To take either horn of the dilemma these mali cious women thought would place their enemy in a ridiculous position. On reaching the place the gallant southerner immediately took in the situation, and with that quickness of perception and decision which were among his marked characteristics he reined up his horse in front of the group of his fair enemies, (who were awaiting the result of their impudent trick,) took off his liat and with a low obeisance said : "Ladies, I salute you, I see your flag for the lirst time in the hands of those who alone can protect it,” and immediately passed on his way, followed by his men. In view of the fact that the Union armies had suffered defeat after defeat, with scarcely a break, up to that time, in the monotonous story, it must be con ceded that the brief, but cutting, re mark ami the contemptuous disregard of the idolized flag, under such pro tection, was a most happy disposition of an otherwise annoying incident. Worthy of His Hire. If a man is lit to preach he is worth wages. If he is worth wages he should receive them with the reg ularity that is demanded and enforc ed in business life. There is no man in the community who works hard for what he receives than the faithful minister. There is no man in win work the community is interested—to whom regular wages that will not cost him a thought are so import ant. Of what proportionate use can any man b« in the pulpit whose w.eeks are frittered away in mean cares and petty economies. Every month or every quarter dav every pastor should be sure ‘ that there will be placed in his hands, as his just wages, money enough to pay all liis expenses. Then, without a sense of special ob igation he can preach the truth with freedom, and prepare for ills public ministration without dis- traotion. Nothing more cruel to a pastor, or disastrous to his work can be done than to force upon him a feeling of dependence upon the charities of his flock. He is the creature of a popular whim, and a preacher without influ ence to Whose who do not respect him or his office sufficiently to pay him the wages due to a man who devoted his life to them. Manliness cannot live in such a man, except it be in torture—a torture endured simfflv because there are others who depend upon the charities doled out to him. Good, manly pastors do not want gifts—they want wages. They need them and the people owe them; but they take to themselves the credit of benefactors, and place their pastor in an awkward and false position. If Christians do not sufficiently recognize the legitimacy of the pastor's calling tc render him fully his wages, and to assist him to maintain his manly inde- p*ndence before the world, they mist not blame the world for looking ujon him with contempt that forbids aid precludes influence. The world V'H be quite ready to take the pastor atthe valuation of his friends, and tie religion he teaches sit the price iti professors are willing to pay in a bismess way fvf its ministry.

Working I.fgWal«rs-(iiir (inn Kep- resentatlve. Atlanta, Oct. 15th, 1885. Editor Union & Recorder: With to day will end what has come to be known as the “long session” of the Legislature. Having had the op portunity of observing its proceed ings 1 am prepared to differ with a portion of the press of the State as to the ability and business tact of that honorable body. 1 regard the House of Representatives as one of the most intelligent as well as oue of the most fearless bexlies of men in the discharge of duty that ever assembled in Geor gia. It is true that no one man of either branch of the General Assem bly rose to the position of leader, but it cannot be denied that both bodies contained some of the iinest legislators the State ever had, some who are recognized, wherever known, as men of ability and learning. The fact that no one min obtained a mas tery overeither branch of the Legisla ture. notwithstanding both branches possessed able and skillful members, is most conclusive evidence that the average ability of the membership was of a high order and not easily dominated by particular individuals. It is proverbial of all weak bodies that tiie will of the recognized leaders is in effect the will of a majority and that legislation by such bodies is the legis lation of one or probably a few mem bers. The legislature just adjourned gave expression in its action on ail questions before it us the real opin ion of probably a larger proportion of its members than any similar body that has sat in Georgia since the war. It was an intelligent, conscientious, fearless and painstaking body of rep resentative citizens and the wisdom of its action will be demonstrated by the future. Along with its absence of leader ship may be also mentioned, to iis credit, as indicating its trustworthi ness, the fact that the most useful and influential members were not those most frequently heard in debate upon the floor. Upon the contrary, in the House especially, conclusions were most generally reached after mature consideration of measures in commit tee and after free interchange of views among members in the more quiet and candid way. Many of the most im portant measures met their fate as the result of this kind of work rather than from the influence of speech-making. Most conspicuous among the mem bers who exerted a large influence in this way for the State’s good may be mentioned Mr. Eason of Telfair, Mr. Thayer of Baker, Mr. Lindsey of Wil kinson, Mr. Dennis of Putnam and your own representative, Mr. Lamar. These gentlemen rarely addressed the House as a whole, but there was not a measure that did not feel the influ ence of the never tiring and ever watchful Eason. He saw and heard everything that transpired and utili zed it as if by intuition. To Messrs. Thayer, Lindsey, Dennis md Lamar may be justly credited a very large portion of the vote cast for the railroad commission bill and to Mr. Eason a very large portion of the vote against it. These gentlemen were recognized as not only reliable personally, but as among the most conservative and sound members of the House. Mr. Lindsey, with his genial man ners, high character and discriminat ing mind justly wielded a great influ ence with his fellow representatives. Mr Lamar was regarded as a good match for Eason. Nothing seemed to escape him and his conclusions though always quick and apparently without time for consideration, were regarded as safe. He was recognized authority on all matters pertaining to measures affecting the State Lunatic Asylum, and to him probably more than all other members combined, may he credited some of the most salutary legislation in behalf of the Institution. It rarely happens that clearer demon stration is had of the personal influ ence of a member than was had in the passage of the bill for the relief of the Asylum, which provided for the re turn, in the discretion ot the Asylum officials, to the authorities of the several counties from which they were sent, all harmless, incurable pa tients. This bill will greatly relieve the institution and enable those in charge to receive and properly treat cases of a curable nature, instead of making the Asylum a mere place of confinement for idiots and incurable but harmless lunatics. This bill met the warm approval of the officials of the Asylum and appears to be de manded by the condition of the Insti tution. It met, however, with very determined opposition, both in com mittee and before the house and at one time its passage was entirely de spaired of. It was generally conceded that its final passage was due almost entirely to the unremitting and skill ful efforts of Mr. Lamar. To him, also, may be credited the appropria tion of three thousand dollars for the repair of the old capitol building. 1 mention these facts in simple jus tice to members, who, by their dili gence and good management, accom plished ends that could not have been reached UDder the guidance of less skillful members. Under the general option law it is hoped Baldwin Will place herself on tiie list of prohibition counties. I do not know the senti ment of her people on this important question, but it is certain that no coun ty that lias ever tried prohibition has abandoned it; on the contrary the temperance sentiment grows stronger year by year in these counties. In conclusion permit me again to refer to your representative. His active sup port of tiie general option bill and liis uniform support of all local temper ance measures caused him to be rec ognized as one of the staunchest tem perance men of the legislature. J. BITTER BREAD. Complaint is frequently made by those who use baking powders that they leax-e in bread, biscuit, or cake raised by them a disagreeable, bitter taste. This taste follows the use of all impure baking powders, and is caused either by their containing alum (introduced to make a cheap article), by the im pure and adulterated character of other ingredients used, or from the ignorance of their manufacturers of the proper methods of combining them. These baking powders leave in the bread a residuum formed of lime, earth, alum, or other deleteri ous matters, not always, though fre quently, tast&ble in tiie food, and by all physicians classed as injurious to health. The Royal Baking Powder is free from this serious defect. In its use no residuum is left, ami the loaf raised bv it is always sweet, light, and noticeably free from the peculiar taste complained] of. The reason of this is because it is composed of noth ing but absolutely pure materials, scientifically combined in exactly the proper proportions of acid and alkali to act upon and destroy each other, while producing the largest amount of raising power. We are justified in this assertion from the unqualified statements made by the Government chemists, who after thorough and exhaustive tests recommended the “Royal” for Governmental use be cause of its superiority over all others in purity, strength, and wholesome- ness. There is no danger of bitter 1 «read or biscuit where it alone is used. Little Willie screams and storms with a burn upon his arm.

Snuou Ujriosr & Rkorobr ; Tin* following is too goodto be lost, or not to be known by the present generation, ‘especially to’those who may have political aspirations. As said by Gov. Troup after a long ob servation in national affairs, “at no period of our history has the South not suffered from the false opinions or open treachery of Southern inen.’L And he was correct, for the love of of fice and political distinction made many Southern men very conserva tive or tender footed on the slavery question fifty and sixty years ago, when they should have been bold and aggressive in the annunciation of prin ciples. But to the views of Mr. Craw ford. When Missouri applied for admission into the Union in 1820, with a recogni tion of slavery in her constitution, those posted in the political history of their country are aware that the,talk of seces sion was rampart. New England talk ed and threatened secession because those States were opposed to the ex tension of slavery; and the South talked secession because she demand ed that every State should be free to have whatever institution it desired. TheNorth was actuated by selfishaud jealous feelings, fearing the growing power of the slave states ; while the South planted itself upon the broad principles of the Federal Constitu tion. In those memorable days when the great conflict of interest and love of country was being discussed by South ern statesmen, then in Washington, Hon. Wm. H. Crawford gave expres sion to the following, which proved to he prophecy. He said : “If the Union is of more importance to the South than slavery, the South should immediately take measures for the gradual emancipa tion of the slaves, fixing a period for its final extinction. But if the insti tution of slavery is of more vital im portance than the perpetuation of the Union to the South, she should at once secede and establish a govern ment to protect and preserve this in stitution. She now has the power to do so without the fear of provoking a war. Her people should be unani mous. ami this agitation lias made them so. I believe. I know the love of the Union has been paramount to every other consideration with the Southern people, but they view, as I do, this attempt to arrest the further spread of slavery as aggressive on the part of Congress, and discover an alarming state of the Northern mind upon this subject. This with an in creasing popular strength may grow into proportions which shall be irre sistible, and the South may be ulti mately forced to do what she never will voluntarily do—abolish at once the institution.” llow clearly a statesman can read the future, when great principles are compromised upon the altar of policy or a sentiment. The above was prophecy, and to-day we are reaping the bitter fruits of the policy, not principles, of our national legislators in 1820. Mr. Crawford was right; and so was Gov. Troup in his message of May, 1825. “But,” said Mr. Holmes of the State of Maine, to Mr. Crawford: “the constitution guaranteed slavery to the States, that its control and destiny were alone with the States/and there was no danger that the North would ever violate the constitution to inter fere with what they had no interest in.” Little did Mr. Holmes know the power of fanaticism when fully arous ed, and when it had power in its hands. Said John Randolph, of Va., who was present during the conversation : “Never violate the constitution! Mr. Holmes, you perhaps know the na ture of your people better than I do. But I know them well enough not to trust them. They stickle at nothing to accomplish an end; and their preachers can soon convince them that slavery is a sin, and that they are responsible for its existence here, and that they can only propitiate Deity by its abolition. You are a pe culiar people. Holmes, prone to fanat icism on all subjects; aud this fanati cism concentrated as a religious duty, the constitution will only prove a bar rier of straw. No, sir; I am unwilling to trust them. They want honesty of purpose, have no sincerity, no patri otism, no principle. Interest, inter est, sir, is their moving motive. Do you not see it in their action in this matter ? Missouri is a fertile and lovely country ; they want it for the purpose of settlement with their own people. Your people are too religious, sir, emi nently practical, inventive, restless, cold, calculating, malicious, and ambi tious ; invent curious rat-traps, and establish missions. I don’t want to be trapped, sir, I am too wary a rat for that, and think with Mr. Crawford, now is the time for separation, and I mean to ask Clay to unite with us. Y et, sir, 1 have not spoken to the fel low for years, sir, but I will to-mor- row ; I will tell him I always despised him, but if he will go to his people, I will to mine, and tell them now is the time for separation from you ; and I will follow his lead if he will only do so. if it leads me to perdition.” Mr. R. then left. “Can Mr. Randolph be in earnest?” asked several. “Intensely so,” replied Mr. Craw ford. “Mr. Holmes, your people are forcing Mr. Randolph’s opinions upon the entire South. They will not per mit Northern inter-meddling with that which peculiarly interests themselves, and over which they alone hold con trol." • • We are indebted for the above from the memoirs of fifty years.' bv W. H. Sparks. A great lessomcaii Be learnt by the statesmen of this oar day, and that is, never to compromise a’great principle with any kind of policy or temporary expediency. Our fathers loved the Union, “not wisely but too well". There should have been no such a thing as the ‘Missouri Compro mise’. As wisely said by Gov. Troup in his day, "YOu cannot compromise a power or principle of the Constitu- tion." Our so-called statesmen were forever talking about “compromise” whenever their rights were assailed, and fur party purposes were ever sur rendering principles upon the altar of party and party success We are now eating the fruit of their jiolicies and love of party power. R. M. O. A True Story With a Very Happy Ending. Such is the story of Topping, the Market st. tailor, who was poor and is rich: who bought a fifth of a Louis iana State Lottery ticket coupon for one dollar and won a fortune last month. It is said that Tepping has forsaken the scenes that he formerly haunted; that the paths he trod now know him no more. Where is Tep ping? Has he returned to the laud where Prince Bismarck rules and where the American hog is unknown? It is hinted that Tepping has gone to visit his Fatherland and there to as tonish the natives with graphic ac counts of how 7 fortunes have been made by Californians investing in Louisiana State Lottery tickets.—San Francisco (Cal.) Chronicle, Sept. 13. Capt. A. H. Cason, of Florida, was robbed of $400 at a hotel in Washing ton, Wilkes county, recently. Some $200 was fortunately, in the shape of a check on Augusta, the payment of which he stopped, and thereby saved that amount. The thief entered his bed-room at night.

Filled with the bi- ble sense of honor and holiness in things financial and spiritual, as sons and daughters of the Lord Most High, let us honor Him with our hearts and substance day by day more and more; loving one another, forgiv ing one another, praying for each other, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace. It lias pleased Him to be better to us than all our fears. Our church membership is larger than ever before, though many have moved away, died, and been stricken from the roll for cause. Nearly every year for the past fifteen years He has given to us a re vival of more or less power and good results. In 1871, 28 persons joined the church on profession; in 1872, 68; in 1873,5 join ed; in 1874, 25 joined—Rev. A. J. Jarrell pastor those years. In 1875, Rev. W. W. Wadsworth, pastor 54 joined; in 1876, Rev. H. J. Adams, pastor, 24 joined; in 1877, Rev. H. H. Parks, pastor, 15 joined;he was pastor also in 1880 when 20 joined; in 1878, 23 joined, in 1870, 18 joined, Rev. G. G. Smith, pastor; in 1881, 48 joined, in 1882, 23 joined, Rev. G. II. Patillo, pastor; in 1883. 12 join ed.in 1884, 6 joined; and thus far ill 1885, 63 have joined on profession, Rev. R. W. Bigham, pastor. As the Sunday School is so nearly- related to the growth of the church, it is instructive to note its record as to members gathered from its classes. I regret that my accurate information on this point extends no farther back than the years of bro. Conn’s superintendency. In 1877 and in 1880, H. 11. Parks, pastor 18 Sunday school scholars joined the church; in 1878 and 1879, G. G. Smith, pastor, 23 S. S. Scholars joined; in 1881 and 1882, G. H. Patillo, pastor, 21 S. S. scholars joined; in 1883, 1884 and 1885, 61 S. S. scholars joined the church. Whole number of members received during the years of his service, 227, of whom 123 were Sun day school scholars. The 4 years of the last 20 noted for ingathering of church members are 1872—bro. Jarrell, 68 were received on profcoci..n. in i*to, Dro. Wadsworth. 54 were received; in 1881, bro. Patillo, 48 were received; in 1885, 63 have been received on profession, of whom 51 are Sunday school scholars. This last meet ing was preceded 2 or 3 months by a covenant of the officers and teachers of the Sunday school with the pastor to pray for the conversion of the Sun day school pupils, and to teach and talk to them earnestly with a view to their conversion; and also a special prayer-meeting was held by them each week for this purpose till interrupted by fatal sickness in the pastor’s family; and duly came the meeting, the reap ers and harvest. And it is not strange though true that of the 48 persons who joined the church during that meeting all except one was of the Sun day school, and he the father of 2 or 3 of the children who Were brought to Christ. Nor, however earnest and faithful the laborers, did the power reach many outside the Sunday school scholars and workers. A direct an swer to prayer was that meeting. And from then till now a very gr’acious spiritual growth over former periods has been manifest with the teacher^ and superintendent, and pupils. About 90 of the pupils are in class- meeting classes led by four of our de vout ladies, and it is a scene of grace and beauty of holiness to observe them file from the class-room Sunday afternoons into the Sunday school room.

No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and uni versal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of Health all over the world. 5 Note—The above Diagram illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking Powders, as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Schedler. A pound can of each powder was "taken, the total leavening power or volume in each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound more than ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advant age of better work. A 6ingle trial of the Royal Baking Powder will convince any fair minded person of these facts. * While the diagram shows somo of the alnm powders to be of a higher degree of strength than other powders ranked below them, it Is not to be taken as indicat ing that they have any value. All alum powders, no matter how high their strength, •re to be avoided as dangerous. Georgia Railroad Company. STOSE MOUNTAIN ROUTE. OFFICE GENERAL MANAGER, AutiCSTA, GA., Oct. 3rd, 1885.
