Tiie stormiest troubles ahead for

Judge J. T. Henderson, Commissioner
of Agriculture of Georgia, lias prepar
ed for gratuitous distribution a man
ual on tobacco cult tire for beginners,
which is gotten up with the intelli

Tiie interest in this subject is rapidly
increasing in the South, and it is one
worthy of careful study and experi
ments. to sav the least of it.
We note in the news of the day, the
death of the Hon. David R. Atchison.
Before our civil war, he represented
tiie State of Missouri, in the U. S.
Senate and was a leading Democratic
Statesman. He was at one time, if
we mistake not, the presiding officer
of the Senate, at a time xvhen the
Vice President had taken the place of
a deceased President, who died while
in office. He must have lived to quite
an advanced age.
I am sure that tiie fell power of in
temperance must and will be restrain
ed some day, yet I do not knoxv how
it will be done. None of the methods
1 see advocated seem to me to promise
absolute victory, but I say "God
speed” to every effort. Happy and
good to live in is the age in which
any man may permit himself to be
grateful for any good thing that any
good man is doing.—Rev. Phillips
Brooks.
A Needed Caution.—We learn
from the Herald that the cook of Mr.
E. A. Sullivan of Sandersville, took up
the ashes in a wooden box one night
recently, and placed the same under
the stove. During the night the box
was entirely consumed by the coals
left in it and the flooring for two oi
three feet was likewise burned. For
tunately the lire went out of itself.
Many a mysterious fire has had just
such an origin. A box made of wood,
if ever used for such a purpose,
should be p'aced out of doors, away
from fenees or any other substance
which could be burned.
A special from -Washington to the
Atlanta Capitol, says:
Senator Colquitt is receiving letters
from all sections of the country cover
ing invitations for him to address the
people on the subject of temperance.
His speech recently delivered in this
city created a profound impression
among the temperance people. One
letter has reached him from far off
Oregon, and another from Kansas and
numbers from points East and North.
On to-morrow he will deliver a tem
perance address in Philadelphia, "and
during the month of February he has
appointments to speak in Brooklyn
and at Nexv Britain, in the State of
Connecticut. I find that even here,
in this modern Sodom, the temperance
element is making sure and steady
progress.
Mr. Spurgeon’s Devotion to Christ.
The great English preacher, in a
sermon at Leeds, England, alluding to
Dr. Dick's wish that he might spend
eternity in wandering from star to
star, said : “For me, let it be my lot
to pursue a more glorious stud}'. My
choice shall be this: I shall spend
5,000 years in looking into the wound in
the left foot of Christ, and 5,000 years
in looking into the xvound in the right
foot of Christ, and 10,000 years more
in looking into the wound in the right
hand of Christ, and 10,000 years more
in looking into the wound in the left
hand of Christ, and 20,000 years more
in looking into the wound in his side. "
We don't think this is the most useful
kind of preaching. It is better to pre
sent him in the light of a risen and
glorious Savior, reigning in eternal
majesty, whole and sound, scattering
heavenly beauty over the eternal
kingdom of his Father. Yes, it is bet'
ter to present him there in this way,
than as Mr. Spurgeon does, as a man
gled and wounded object to the re
deemed who enjoy the incomprehensi
ble felicity resulting from his worldly
sacrifice for them. That may be a
mere specimen of Mr. Spurgeon's ac
knowledgement of his sacrificial atone
ment, but it would not be compatible
with the ideas of the redeemed who
would enjoy the glory and blessing of
liis reign in heaven. He is presented
as having finished his earthly mission
and ascended to a seat in Heaven on
the right hand of his Father.
THE SUN.
The many strikes, taking place In
our country originate in no small de
gree from a real or supposed with
holding from labor a just reward. We
have often thought it would be a
good policy by some kind of National
legislation to secure to each family
whose labor may acquire it, a little
spot of earth that it may call its own
—that will be ttii asylum in times of
adversity, from xvhich the mother aud
the children, old age and infancy, can
still draw sustenance and obtain pro
tection though misfortune may rob
them of all else, and they feel that
they are still free—still entitled to
walk the green earth and breathe the
free air of heaven, in defiance of the
potency and power of accumulating
wealth and the domineering of the
pretending and ambitious. The sa
credness of that consecrated spot will
make them warriors in time of exter
nal strife. “These shocks of corn, - ’
said Xenophon, "inspire those who
raised them, to defend them. The
largest of them in the field is a prize
exhibited in the middle of the state to
crown the conqueror.” Secure a home
to every family whose labor may ob
tain one, against the xveakness, vices
or misfortunes of father and you riv
et the affection of the child, in years
ot manhood, by a stronger bond than
any consideration that could exist.—
He will remember where he gamboll
ed in his early youth, the stream upon
whose flowery banks he felt a moth
er's love, and the green spot wdthin
that little homestead where sleep the
loved and the lost. How this could
be accomplished would be a difficult
question to answer. Franoe has pro
vided for about eight millions of her
people, but they are small patches
from four to seven acres. We have
this policy alluded to. We presume
without knowing the fact, that those
small homes wore bought by the gov
ernment and distributed under regu
lations requiring the parties to pay
for them in small installments. Greedy
speculators in our country have ac
quired large portions of our public
lands, but still there is enough left to
furnish a small home, from 25 to 50
acres, to the heads of families who
have no home of their own, and are
unable to purchase them without
public assistance. Colonies, of the
pool' could move rapidly to special
reservations made for them. With
gradual appropriations, money for
building purposes, and supplies of
food until it can be grown on the
homes, appropriated for them. How
much more cheaply and easily could
such colonies grow up than did our
English fathers in the early settle
ments of this country. Yea, it xvould
cost the 20tli part of what those early
colonies cost, aud it would be an ap-
propriation of the public that would
make millions of acres blossom like
the rose, and go far to prevent the
evils of strikes, which absolutely
threaten the public peace. We throw
out these views for what they are
worth; believing their adoption would
relieve much suffering and promote
the general prosperity. No one can
doubt that our country is rich enough
to adopt them, and would, in doing
so, become in reality a great paternal
benefactor. Some statesman, of en
larged views, might make for him
self in their advocacy and adoption,
a name that would make him illust
ons as a great benefactor. He xvould
not only promote the happiness of an
immense number of the poor, but he
would do much to check the strikers,
who, it must be seen, are threatning
in many sections the public peace.

We need not go beyond our solar
system to witness the evidences of
God's omnipotence. The sun, its
great centre, is a luminous demon
stration of tiie existence of Almighty
poxver. What it is, is left to philo
sophical conjecture. Its great heat is
supposed to come from a luminous
atmosphere, which surrounds it. That
it is thought by some philosophers it
is perpetually burning with a heat
far beyond mensuration, or any con-
| eeption of the human mind. We ad-
i mire a great conflagration upon earth:
I the burning of Moscoxv, or London, or
any other immense pile of buildings
1 is a theme for an artist, or a writer,
| but what pencil or language could
' poitrny the burning atmosphere
I xvhich surrounds the sun? The be-
, holder, if he could approach near
| enough to witness it, and the eye
: could bear the light, would be over-
( xvhelmed by its luminous sublimity,
i All nature, the entire universe, xvould
| seem to him wrapped in an appalling
I conflagration. Heaven xvould pour
! out its shoxvers of fire, aud rain its
i lavas of burning elements, constitu
ting, in the eves of the beholder, a
! grand, sublime, overwhelming empj -
| rosis. But, as it is, the sun sinks to
j rest amidst the softened glory of his
beam3. Golden clouds hover over his
flaming - couch. The low sinking sun
steeps the woods and hills, and draxvs
a crimson shroud around its glowing
limbs as it sinks to rest. It is not
difficult to know that in the ancient
oil
Work of Funny Men.
We are in receipt of a little book,
which in richness of humor and gro
tesqueness of illustration, may be
said in the language of the xvild West,
to “take the cake.” It is simply
drawing it mild to say that it 'con
tains some of the best examples of
American humor ever published; and
the contributors, who are well-known
in the field of letters, have really ex
celled all former efforts. The illus
trations by comic artists are also in
direct harmony with the text. “Bill
Nye" tells his experience with a
cyclone. R. K. Munkittrick, of Puck,
rhymes funnily on the four season*.
Mr. Ii. D. Fmhstaetter, the originator
f the book, describes his wrestle
with a grilled bone in “merrie Eng
land, " and “M Quad,” of the Detroit

PROHIBITION.
Messrs. Editors Union & Recoh-
deb: Please allow me a small space
in your paper on the subject of Tem
perance. This is from one who has
tried xvhiskey by drinking it from the
top of the barrel to tho bottom of It,
and I have never found any thing in
whiskey but^hame,dishonor, poverty,
an empty purse, lost friends, lost con
fidence and sick headache. These
are only some of the miseries that
follow drinking and yet the half is not
told. Some men xvill say quit and be
a man, but if all men lox'ed whiskey
as I do,there xvould not be a sober
man in this world. That is a good
deal to say, nex-ertheless it is true.
As long as I keep away from where
it is sold, I drink no whiskey, for I
never kept it at inv house nor never
do I want it until I see and smell it.
I know men in my neighborhood
who like myself feel that if it was
out of Baldwin County, we would be
sober men. I hear some men say it
would take our rights from us. God
pity the rights of a drunkard unless
they make him a sober man, and the
way to do it, is to put xvhiskey out of
his*way. If it is not done, xvhiskey
will put the drunkard out of the way.
That, no man can deny. I have been
drinking it about sixteen years, and
I think I ought to know the evils of
whiskey. I have resolved a thousand
times to quit drink and have broken
my resolution as often. I thought I
xvould quit ex'ery.time I got drunk,
because I felt so mean that I did not
want to see any one, not ex'en my
oxvu family. That is a bad fix to
get in, but I have been in it many'
times, and I knoxv that I am not by
myself in this matter. I was born in
this (Baldwiu) County, and so xvere
my parents, and I know every man
in tho county or very nearly so, and
I know that if there was no xvhiskey
sold in the county, it would put thous
ands of dollars in provisions and
clothing, that is now sunk In xvhiskey;
and to be honest, I tell you I need
the money in the summer that I
spend in the winter for whiskey, and
I need it bad too, for I want money
now. I do not wish or want the
whiskey sellers to think I have any
thing against them nor against any
one who makes it or drinks it, except
my own self, and I do hate myself
for drinking it. It is the worst ene
my that ex'ercrossed my path and the
worst enemy to the human family
that tho Devil ever instituted in this
world or any other. I shall vote for
Prohibition, and I think there are
enough men in this county who knoxv
the evil of it. to banish it from the
hills and valleys of old Baldwin.
Some say, all who love it xvill send
off to get it if it is taken out of our
county, but that xvont do for a poor
man, white nor black, for we will
lox'e our money in our own hand bet
ter than we xvill whisky in a far off
place where we xvill neither see nor
smell it. Seeing and smelling whis
key is iust what makes a man drink
it. Axvay with whiskey is my prayer
Gaktersyille, January 23.—Our city
was shaken last night about ten
o’clock by one of the most terrific ex
plosions ever heard in our communi
ty. This morning it is found that the
residence of United States Commis-
sione: Aaron Collins had been visited
by the dynamiters. A cartridge was
placed on the front veranda just op
posite the bed on which Mr. and Mrs.
Collins xvere sleeping in their room,
which xvhen it exploded came near
wrecking tiie entire building, and
would have done so had it been plac
ed nearer the wall.
Our people are thoroughly aroused
and determined to ferret out the per
petrators. Suspicion points to some
parties and an effort was made last
night to arrest Tobe Jackson, which
was unsuccessful, although several
shots were fired at him. His brother
Snin is now in jail, and a posse is
now starting to look for Tobe. He
has been arrested two or three times
by the United States authorities and
escaped. He xvas in town last night
just before the explosion. No pains
or trouble will be spared to ascertain
tho guilty parties and bring them to
justice.
Fexv people are exempt from tooth
ache, and ex'en poets have written on
its terrors. But this ache and everv
-ield to St. Jacobs
and will be my vote.

DANIEL WEBSTER’S
STORIES.
Washington Letter,
From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, Jan. 25, 1886.
Skirmishing between the President
and the Republican Senators; lively
debates in the lower branch of Con
gress; notable speeches in the Senate;
a Convention in behalf of the Missis
sippi river, and another by the Nation
al Board of Trade are features of the
week at the Capital.
The controversy between the Presi
dent and the majority in the Senate
has reached an interesting point, and
there is prospect of a political debate
in that end of the Capital this xveek.
The republicans of tho Senate deter
mined long since to make as much
trouble for tiie President and his par
ty as they could. They xvill take
every advantage within their reach to
perplex and annoy the Administra
tion. They assume this course to be
a political duty, and their leaders,
Edmunds, Hoar. Morrill. Sherman and
others are thoroughly trained in all
the arts of obstruction and legisla
tive chicanery. They were drilling
for this onslaught on the persons and
policy composing the Administration
at the time they were making profes
sions of good xvill towards the Presi
dent and his Administration.
Senator Edmunds proposes to begin
the light by offering his resolution
calling upon the President to furnish
information regarding the cases of re
moval of federal officials and his rea
sons for the same. The Democratic
Senators are united and harmonious
and will support Mr. Cleveland. They
are getting ready for the discussion by
holding caucuses and the Republicans
are doing likexx'ise.
There is no more bitter partisan in
the Senate than chieftain Edmunds,
of Vermont. He is the arch enemy
of the Democratic party, and he
shaped this little game while profess
ing great admiration for the Presi-
ident’s good intentions and an anxious
desire for his success. He took pains
to call at the White House at the time
of Vice President Hendricks’ death
and affected good xvill towards Mr.
Clex-eland by urging him not to at
tend the funeral at Indianapolis. Air.
Edmuads believes more in strategy
than in violence, and he has laid his
plan for entrapping the President
very artfully. He xvould like above
all things to convict Air. Cleveland
of inconsistency as a Civil Service Re
former and to trip the Administration.
President Cleveland's future course
in the matter cannot be outlined. He
has expressed his willingness to furn
ish tho Senate with all the papers on
file in the Departments bearing upon
his appointments, and such docu
ments have been sent. But whether
or not he will agree to Air. Edmunds’
proposed demand remains to be seen.
He may be relied upon for knowing
his rights under the Constitution, and
also the application of the Civil Tenure
laxv to his appointments. He is not
apt to be discourteous to the Repub
lican majority in the Senate, but he
is apt to maintain the authority of
the Executive. The Senate may re
sent any refusal to furnish reasons for
suspension or removal, but it can only
reject nominations, or lav them over
indefinitely.
The Senate has again been debating
the old Electoral Count problem.
Senator Sherman went at length into
the issues involved, opposing all other
plans and offering one of his own. to
the effect that if the two Houses disa
gree, they shall meet in joint conven
tion and elect a President. Other
Presidential candidates besides the
wily Senator from Ohio, discussed how
the next x'ote of the Electoral College
should be counted. These xvere
Kx’arts, Mr. Hayes' Secretary of State,
and Edmunds and Hoar, either of
whom is reckoned as an eligible New
England candidate if the other one
can be gotten out of the way. Four
other Presidential aspirants sat in a
group silent but alert listeners, turn
ing occasionally to a neighbor and
whispering xvith the emphasis of a
clenched fist. These xvere Hawley,
Harrison, Allison aud Cullom. The
subject evidently had a personal in
terest for each, although Logan has
said recently that no man cun go x-ote oi Ten

Sp<*> ial Correspondence of the Courier-Journal.
Washington City, Jan. 6.—The
Legislature of Tennessee met at Mur
freesboro in 1823. That town was
then the capital of the State. Tha
only question before that body which
produced unusual interest was the
election of a Senator in Congress.
Col. John AVilliams had served in the
Senate for eight years, having been
elected in 1815 to fill a vacancy and in
1817 lie xvas ohosen for a full term.
At the expiration of this second term
ho was a candidate for re-election.
He xvas a gentleman of much ability
and deserved popularity. He was
the gallant Colonel of a regiment in
the war of 1812, but, unfortunately,
during the Creek campaign in Ala
bama, he and Gen. Jackson had a
quarrel, and xvere nevermore good
friends. The Legislature had not
been long in session before it was
ascertained by a count of noses that
there xvas bat one gentleman in the
State who could defeat Col. Williams,
and that gentleman was Gen. Jack-
son. The General xvas then a candi
date for the Presidency, did not de
sire a seat in the Senate, but he de
sired much less to see it filled by an
enemy. His legislative friends held
a consultation, and resolved to com
municate to him the true situation by
a messenger; and urge him to come
immediately to Alurfreesboro. This
messenger I knew intimately for more
than forty years before Lis death,
and a better man or truer friend
nex'er lix'ed. It xx'as the late Col.
Willoughby Williams, of Nashville.
He told me that he left Murfreesboro
at 10 o'clock at night and arrived at
the Hermitage about daylight the
next morning. He returned that
evening, accompanied by Gen. Jack-
son. The friends of ex-Senator Wil
liams taw at once that it was all over
with him if Gen. Jackson became a
candidate for Senator. He did be
come a candidate, and xvas elected.
The old hero and his friends acted
wisely from a political standpoint.
The election of his enemy to this high
position xvould have been proclaimed
every where as evidence of his want of
popularity in his own State, which
was not true, for he was then tiie idol
of Tennesseeans, and continued to be
so up to the day of bis death. He re
signed his Senatorship two years
thereafter.
My father was a farmer, and a
very good one. He owned 1,000 acres
of land on xvhich he raised every
year 600 or 300 hogs, weighing on an
average 200 pounds. In 1824 he de
termined to drive them down to
Huntsville, Ala., and there sell them.
I asked and obtained his per
mission to go along. I had then just
turned into my 14th year. I toddled
after the hogs, and when I became
tired 1 gut into the wagon carrying
our provisions, and rode until I was
rested. We camped out every night,
and had all sorts of fun. I enjoyed
the trip as much or more than I did
the one I made to Texas in 1836. We
named our cook “Betsy” and a most
admirable oook he was. I almost
foundered on his fatty mush. Comie
songs xvere sung by the drovers.
Pretty rough ones, to be sure, but
very amusing to me. While vre were
endamped within a few miles of
Huntsville, an enthusiastic Jackson
man by tiie name of Gardner came to
our camp and told my father that he
had just heard the result of the Presi
dential election, and Gen. Jackson
xvas ahead of all his competitors—that
he had received 1)9 electoral votes,
John Quincy Adams 84, William H.
Crawford 41 aud Henry Clay 37.
These figures have nex'er gone out of
my mind. I suppose it is the experi
ence of every old man that he has a
more xdx'id recollection of things he
saw and heard in his youth than those
which he has seen aud heard in more
recent years.
In tiie Presidential canvass of 1824
there was no great political issue that
divided parties. Iu fact there xvas
then but one organized party, and
that xvas the Republican or Democrat
ic partv. All the candidates for Presi
dent professed to belong to that par-
tv. But it was generally believed,
especially in the South and West,
that the Democracy of Mr. Adams
xvas only skin-deep. Tho canvass of
that year was conducted, not with
reference to one’s special policy but
with reference to individuals and to
their localities.
As Wm. H. Crawford is not so well
known to tho present generation as
Gen. Jackson, John Quincy Adams,
and Henry Clav, I beg leax'e to say
that he was a V irginian by birth, but
removed to Georgia with his father
when he xvas ten years old. I pass
over the history of his youth and
early manhood, which might be un
interesting to the reader, and state
that in 1K07 he was elected a Senator
in Congress and served six years. In
1828, he xvas appointed by President
Madison Minister Plenipotentiary to
Franc , where he remained two years.
He xvas Secretary of the Treasury un
der President Madison when his Ad
ministration came to a close, and was
continued in that position by Presi
dent Monroe, as I have already
stated, till the 4th of March, 1825. In
a xvord, lie was the great man of
Georgia as Henry Clay was the great
man of Kentucky.
I am not sure that Mr. Jefferson
was nominated for President by a
Congressional caucus, but I am sure
that Air. Madison and Mr. Monroe
were. Mr. Crawford was likewise
the nominee of a Congressional cau
cus in 1824. The friends of Gen.
Jackson, Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay,
charged, and perhaps truly, that less
than a majority of the Republican or
Democratic members attended the
caucus. Be this as it may, that mode
of nomiuating a Presidential candid
ate got a black eye from which it
never recovered. There were then
txventy-four States in the Union, giv
ing-’two hundred and sixty-one elec
toral votes. It took one hundred
and thirty one to constitute a ma
jority. As neither of the candidates
had received that number the choice
of President xvas transferred by the
Constitution to the House of Repre
sentatives.

States in which Gen. Jackson re -

bar of whom I was afraid, and that
was old Baruaby. There were but
few men xvho cared to enter the list
with him. On one occasion Barnaby
was employed to defend a suit for a
piece of land brought by a little crab
bed, cunning lawyer called Bruce.
Bruce’s case xvas looked upon as good
as lost when it was ascertained that
Barnaby was retained against Jiiin.
Th« suit came on for trial, and Barna
by found that Bruce bad worked
hard and left no stone unturned to
gain the victory. The testimony for
the plaintiff was x'ery strong, and un
less it could be impeached the case of
the defendant was lost. Tlio # princi
pal witness introduced by the plain
tiff wore a red coat. In summing up
for the defense old Barnaby commen
ced a furious attack on this xvituess,
pulling his testimony all to pieces,
and appealing t» the jury if a man
who wore a red coat xvas, under any
circumstances, to be believed. ‘And
who is this red-coated witness?’ ex
claimed Barnaby, ‘but a descendant
of our common enemy, who 1ms striv
en to take from us our liberty, and
would not hesitate now to deprix'e my
poor client of his land by making any
sort of red-coated statement!’ Dur
ing this speacli Bruce was walking
up and down the bar, greatly excited,
aud convinced that his case xvas gone,
knowing as he did the prejudice of
the jury against anything British.
Whilst, however, Barnaby was gestic
ulating and leaning forward to the
jury in his eloquent appeal, his shirt
bosom opened slightly and Bruce
accidentally discovered that Barnaby
wore a red under-shirt. Bruce's couii
tenance brightened up. Putting both
hands in his coat pockets, he walked
the bar with great confidence, to tho
astonishment of his client and all look
ers on. Just as Barnaby conclude! 1
Bruce whispered in the ear of his client:
’I’ve got him; your case is safe!’ and,
approaching the jury, he commenced
his reply to the slaughtering argu
ment of his adversary. Bruce gave a
regular history of. the ancestry of his
red-coated witness, proving his patrio
tism and devotion to the country, and
his character for truth and veracity.
‘But what, gentlemen of the jury,’
broke forth Bruce in a loud strain of
eloquence, while his eye flashed fire,
‘what are you to expeot of a man xvho
stands here to defend a cause based
on no foundation of right or justice
whatever, of a man who undertakes to
destroy our testimony on the ground
that my witness xx'ears a red coat,
when, gentlemen of the jury—when,
when, when, gentlemen of the jury
(here Bruce made a spring and,
catching Baraaby by the bosom of the
shirt, tore it open, displaying his red
flannel), when Mr. Barnaby himself
wears a red flannel coat, concealed un
der a blue one?’ The effect xvas elec
trical; Barnaby was beaten at his own
game, and Bruce gained the cause.”
