H is old land which he has enriched makes three-fourths of a bale of cotton to the acre. A large meeting of leading officials of the railroads of this and adjoining States met in Atlanta last week to make arrangements to change the gauge of their roads from five feet, which is the width between the rails throughout the Southern States, to four feet eight inches, which is the width in the Northern States. Then a train can leave Maine and run to New Orleans without change of engine or cars. Each road will make the change by having a multitude of laborers scattered all along its line, in one day. The changes will probably be made by the roads consecutively; as for ex ample, from'Nashville to Chattanooga, one day; the next day, the State road from Chattanooga to Atlanta; then the Central will make the change the next day from Atlanta to Savannah. Other connecting lines of road will do the same and it is confidently believ ed it can he done with very little de lay in the transportation'of passen gers or freight; for the same thing bias been done repeatedly before. It is expected that this very important change, together with the change of the distance between the wheel of the trucks, will be accomplished some time in the month of Mav.

Mr. Editor :—Rarely, if ever, in my long connection with your paper, as a subscriber, has its columns brought me such painful intelligence, as was conveyed in the account of the tragic death of J. A. Beall, published iii your issue of the 13th of January. And I cannot refrain from paying this sad tribute to his memory. As a bright and joyous boy he mustered with my company “The Governor’s Horse Guards” and remained with us throughout the war. He soon be came my Orderly Sergeant, and sleep ing with one of my Lieutenants in the officer’s tent, when we were so fortu nate as to have one, and riding with me at the head of the company when we were on the march, he and I were of course constantly together, and I had thus the opportunity of knowing him, as perhaps very few have ever known him. I can truly say the Confederacy hiul no truer son, and our army no better soldier than Jim Beall. Bless ed with uninterrupted health and with a remarkable degree of manly vigor, sickness rarely ever called him from the ranks; and brave and fear less, he was ever ready to respond to the call of duty. 1 am sure that there were few soldiers in the army who , missed fewer tours of duty than he did. Reared in affluence and accus touted to all the luxuries wealth could purchase it would have seemed only natural had he soon grown tired of the danger and hardships of a Con federate soldier's life, hut such was never the case; on the contrary, to the last, he was as devoted to our cause, as he was the day he mustered and when it became known that Gen. Johnston was going to surrender, and Gen. Hampton, addressing his com mand, requested those who were will ing to go with him to the trans-Mis sissippi department, “to ride six paces to the front," none came forward with more promptness than did he. His father was very desirous of putting in a substitute for him and having him come home, but never for an in stant would he entertain the propo sition. ()ften have I heard him say that it should never be said that he did his fighting by proxy. He was high-toned, honorable, and generous, and I never knew him guilty of one unkind or dishonorable act. Were I to be his judge, I would be more len ient, than he was to himself, I would change the advice he left to his boys and say to them, emulate his virtues, which were many, shun his vices, which were few. J. H. Nichols. Nacoochee, Ga., Feb. 1st, 1886. Jeanette’s Hair. Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent We are indebted to Messrs. Jeffers <k Moore, Brokers, for a sample of oleomargarine or butterine, from a Chi cago manufactory, which in appear ance and flavor would pass almost anywhere for genuine butter. The manufacturers claim that butterine is made of pure and healthful articles and is as good and nutricious as but ter. It is cheaper and is no doubt an excellent substitute, but the mere fact that butter may not he butter creates a suspicion that taints the pleasure of eating in these davs of fraud. Of all the questions out of the United States, we have ever taken more interest in the Irish cause than in any other, purely from a sense of justice to an oppressed peo ple without any recompense, but a consciousness of sustaining the right. We hate oppression at home and abroad. We have lived long enough to see the injustice done the Irish peo ple from the days of Daniel O’Connell to the .present time. If we under stand the wishes of the Parnellites. they are not seeking a total separa- from England, but the privilege of lo cal self-government. They desire that Ireland shall occupy to England a po sition similar to that of Georgia, to the United States. The name of the party, it seems to us, is rather unfor tunate. The Parnellites are called the Nationalists, and many infer from that they desire that Ireland shall become a separate and distinct nation of the earth, vfhen, if we understand their position they 8eek local self-gov. ernment. They are entitled to that. In this country the states have local self-government and their rule is man aged by bodies termed legislatures; such bodies in the old countries are termed Parliaments, so that when the Irish claim to have their own Parlia ment it means the same thing as the legislature in an American state. A Handsome Present.—Our es teemed neighbor Mr. P. M. Compton, received .by express last week one of the handsomest gold headed canes we have ever seen. The cane itself is composed of some finely polished black wood and the handle, running at right angles to it and fitting the grasp of the hand as completely as possible, is apparently made of solid gold, richly fretted and ornamented, with a smooth place upon w r hich the letters P. M. C. are beautifully en graved. The recipient of this splen. did present does not know who sent it to him, and we happen to know that he attends to matters of business for so many persons at a distance, which require skillful and expert handling, without making any charge for his services, that he may find it quite difficult to identify the anonymous giver among the many who might reasonably rest under the pleasant suspicion. f nWptT raliaf.” wni can Anal Uloara.

Startled at his mishap ho let his razor fall, and in falling it cut off one of his big toes. A doctor was summon ed. and in replacing the dismembered parts he made a mistake, putting the nose on the toe and the toe on the nose. This transposition is now caus ing the man much inconvenience.

They listen to every word that is said about their territory, and occasional ly furnish a speaker with some data or some explanation that is needed. The Republicans of the Senate do not rest easy with a majority of eight. They are trying to get additional strength in Dakota, and are planning to capture Washington and Monta na Territories in the near future with Idaho in the distance. They have not forgotten that but for Colorado coming in, in 1876, the Hayes fraud would never have been consummated. During the week the House of Rep resentatives has talked a great deal on unimportant subjects, has quarrelled a good deal to no purpose, and lias pass ed fifty little pension bills. I have alluded before to the many new pen sion schemes that have been introduc ed into the present Congress, besides all of the old ones of the last Congress that have come up fresh again. Con gressmen seem to vie with each other in proposing absurd plans for increas ing pensions. If they were all carried into effect they would bankrupt the Treasury of the United States. And the worst feature of every new pen sion proposal is the demagogic spirit it inevitably awakens in both parties in Congress. Many of them are not even seriousv intended, their real ob ject being to ensnare and capture what is known as the soldier vote. The President's refusal of the Sen ate’s latest demand for papers has been the topic of discussion here for the past three days. The papers call ed for were those bearing upon the of ficial character of a District Attorney of Southern Alabama. They were in the custody of the Law Department, and referred exclusively to the sus pension of the late incumbent. The Senate, in secret session, was notified by Attorney-General Garland “that it was not considered promotive of pub lic interests to comply with its request for the transmission of the documents mentioned." Some of the Republican Senators who do not believe in trying to extort reasons from the President, and who have been forced into this attitude by their caucus, are disposed to he re calcitrant. Rumor has it that there are three who are so muclropposed to the stand taken hy their brethren that the majority are extremely anx ious about them. Mr. Edmunds has been accused by these disaffect ed Senators of waging hostilities against the Administration in the hope of improving his chances for re- election to the Seriate. If the Presi dent had been beaten he would have obtained the credit of having made a good party fight. The Democratic Senators caucussed again and were all in favor of support- ting the President, believing him to be right in maintaining his constitu tional prerogative. Senators of both parties seem to think the issue is pret ty well made up now, and that for some time, at least, there will lye no action upon the nomination of per sons to succeed suspended or remov ed Republicans. Fromthefactthatthe President has not hitherto been called upon for any exposure of his reasons for making official changes, it is evident were only seeking portisan advantage. Reversing the usual order, the Pres ident made the people his guests of honor at the first of his evening re- iweptions. The levee to the Diplomats, Congressmen, and the Army and Navy will xnne later. Qnite as elaborate prepo at ions were made at the White House tor receiving the people as have be m made in the time past for ! the ent« rtainment of officials. The parlors were banked with palm trees and flowers, the conservatory was opened and lighted, and the Marine band played throughout the evening. The reception was a crush as usual, but the President was cordial and smiling, and the crowd was good na tural and patient The popular idea has been that the world contains seven wonders, but the eighth made his appearauce at the Capitol. It was a poor benight- “Oh, loosen tfic curls that you wear, Jeanette, Let me tangle my hanil iu your hair, my pet,” For the world to me had i:o dainter sight Than your brown hair veiling vour shoulders white.

We clip from tlie “Continental” some extracts about eyes and their indications of character, which will be interesting to many of our readers : EYES. ••The bright black eye, the melting blue, I cannot choose between the two; But that is dearest all the while, Which wears lor us the sweetest smile.” There is much truth in these last two lines. The eyes we love best are the best eyes, the most beautiful to us. But all eyes are not alike, und all have not the same meaning. Black and brown eyes say different things from the blue or gray eyes. Each has a story of its own, and a way of telling it. There are eyes which glow with pas sion, eyes that languish with love, eyes which sparkle with mirth, eyes that flash with indignation. Some are calm and serene, others troubled and restless. Some pene trate,right through you, some entreat, some command, and some are mean ingless, and have a vacant stare till the mind stirs within, and illuminates them. The most beautiful eyes have a long rather than a wide opening. Eyelids which are widely expanded so as to give a round form to the eye, like those of the cat and owl, indicate abil ity to see much, with little light, and receive readily mental impressions from surrounding objects ; on the con trary, eyelids which more closely cov er over the eye, denote less facility of impression, but a clearer insight, more definite ideas, and greater steadiness and permanence of action. Round-eyed people see much and live much in the senses, but think less. Narrow-eyed persons see less, hut think more, and feel more intensely. Persons with prominent eyes are al ways found to have great command of language, and are eloquent speak ers and fluent writers. But it may be observed that as a projecting eye most readily receives impressions from all surrounding objects, so it indicates quick and universal observation, but a lack of close scrutiny and perception of individual things. Arranging all tlie various colored eyes in two grand classes, light and dark, we would say that the dark in dicate power, and tlia light delicacy. Dark eyes are tropical, and as an American physiognomist has observ ed, “They may be sluggish, the forces they betoken may often he latent, but they are there, and may be called into action. Their fires may sleep, but they are like slumbering volca noes. Such eyes generally accompa ny a dark complexion with much strength of character, a powerful but not a subtle intellect, or strong pas sion.” Light eyes, on the other hand, be long naturally to temperate regions, and they are temperate eyes. They may glow with love and genial warmth, but they never burn with a consuming lire like the torrid black eyes. The light-eyed races have attained a higher degree of civilization than the dark-eyed races. When the complexion and hair are dark, and the eyes light, there is gen erally a combination of strength with delicacy. Black eyes are of four kinds. First, the small, brilliant, hard black eyes, which look like a beaii, and which one might crack like a cherry stone ; secondly, the glowing, cavernous black eyes, hiding smouldering fires ; thirdly, the soft, swimming, sleepy black eye, and fourthly, the large well-set and finely fdrnied black eye, solemn as the hush of Midnight, still as the mountain lake,” yet full of thought, intellect, passion and feeling, which can rise in a storm till the quiet surface glows again; an eye that has no need of words, that never smiles, but knows the warmth of tears; an eye that goes straight to the heart with a single glance and never more leaves it, an eye that does net en trance like the blue, but draws you steadily and surely on, and touches chords in your heart which have been untouched before, and can never awake for a lesser power again.’’ The first may he the eye of a vain beauty and belle ; the second may be found in many an inmate of Bedlam; the third languishes in the harem of the Turk, and the fourth is so rare, it is hardlv ever met with-it is very beautiful, and also the most danger ous of all. Brown eyes are often confounded with hazel, but though hazel eyes are brownish, they deserve to form a sep arate class,— “Thy brown eyes have 1‘ ok 'ike birds FUlng straightway to the lighl.” ‘The true brown eyes’’ says an anonymous writer, “have a softness and a beauty peculiarly their own. Some are eager, quick, and merry ; they offen go with light hair, and fresh, fair complexions, arid their laughing brightness, their frank glances, are as different from the cooler and calmer look of the hazel, as light from darkness. Others have a reddish glow, or rather an auburn light which gives them a pecuilar charm, especially if the liair match, shade for shade ; others of a more de cided brown go with black hair and a dark complexion, pale or brilliant as the case maybe ; and others are large and soft, with a starry light within.” The following lines quite express the ideas of the writer of this article :— “Bot the glorious eye or hazel tinge With Its drooping lid of softest fringe, The flood-gates of the soul unhinge ; Graceful and tender, loving, kind. The wide world o'er you will not find Kyei that so firm tne heart can bind: Singthen of the lovely hazel eyes. Born of twilight's deep'ulag dyes. Of purple that floats o'er summer skies.' ®ther kind. An Italian writer says: Eyes with the same witchery are those of Psyche which caught Love in his own wiles.’’ And Wordsworth describes them— o «■. . Those eyea. Soft and capacious as a cloudless sky. Whose azure depths their color emulates, Must needs be conversant with upward looks— Prayer’s voiceless service.” ‘ Blue eyes which borrow their tints from the summer sky, what eyes they are! how they dazzle and bewilder how they melt and soften. The large light blue eye with golden eyelash and the faintly traced brow, is the tvpe of heavenly purity and peace; the calm, sad blue eye that thrills through one’s heart with a single glance, the widely opened one which flashes upon you with agloroiuslight, with a smile that makes yoar head whirl, and with a meaning that you never forget. And Green Eyes, what can be said of them? Some are doubtless like cats', or boiled gooseberries, and yet the majority are very handsome. For myself I have a great predilec tion for green eyes; they are “the eyes of all eyes which my heart loves the best"—those wells of love and sincerity, “wherelight is ever playing, where love in depths of shadow holds its throne.” Therefore I dare not give my unbiased opinion on these eyes, the pictures of the soul, but will merely quote the opinion of others. Dante in his Purgatorio speaks of Beatrice's eyes as emeralds; and Long fellow in his Spanish Student writes, “AnJ In her tender eyes Just that soft shade of green we sometimes see In evening skies." The Spaniards with good reason consider the color of the eye as beau tiful, and often celebrate it in song. One author says: “Green eyes look as if floating in a lambent light, large, dreamy, pensive, and yet really green." Zuluka’s eyes ought to have been green. “Oh that eye was in it self a soul." They are not bewilder ing like the blue, nor dangerous like the black, neither affectionate as the brown, nor passionate as the gray, but they are tlie eyes of a visionary poet, whose soul has little to do with earth, and who loves better the land of memory aud imagination. Eyes speak all languages, they wait for no inttoduction, ask no leave of rank, they respect neither poverty nor riches, neither learning nor power, nor virtue, nor sex, but intrude and come again, and go through and through you in a moment. The eyes of men converse as much as their tongues, with the advantages that the dialect of the eye needs no dictionary, but is understood all the world over—when the eyes say one thing, and the tongue another, a prac tical observer relies on the language of the first. Vain and forgotten are all the fine offers and offices of hospitality if there be no holiday in the eye. How many furtive indications are avowed by the eye, though dissem bled by the lips. There are beseeching eyes, assert ing eyes, provoking eyes, and eyes full of fate, some of good and some of bad omen. Many eyes are beautiful from ex pression alone. Whatever -of good ness there is in the heart, its soft halo appears in the eyes, and if the heart be selfish, hard, and bad, the eye will tell its evil tales. Some eyes vary extraordinarily with the passing emotions of the hour.— One has seen the cold, dull eye grow liquid and bright under the impulse of some holy and tender sentiment; or the eye that has looked so meek, flash like lightning at the oppression of the weak and helpless. And many an eye that tells of solitary misanthropy, how it wakens up with a world of feeling when loving lips are found to say, “I entrust these treasures to you, they are my dearest, my most sacred; be tender of them, bear them safely to their journey's end;” and confidence and love thus manifested, the strong barrier is broken down, and the hard eye fills once more with tears. A physiognomist has given the fol- fowing opinion on eyes:— “Black-eyed women are apt to be passionate and jealous; blue-eyed, soul-full, trustful, affectionate, and confiding: gray-eyed, literary, philan- thropical, resolute, and cold; hazel-ey ed, hasty in temper and inconstant in feelings.” And so to the end of time the con test will last, and the battle be fought as sung by many poets. Marshall ou Napoleon. He once went to Philadelphia to deliver a lecture, the subject of which was the “Life and Character of Napo leon the Great." There was much curiosity to hear him, for his fame as an orator was national, and the lec ture had remarkable excellencies in a literary, historical and critical point of view. The hall was filled with the beauty, grace and culture of the Qua ker Ci’tv. When the lecturer appeared before liis audience he was “pretty far South,” that is, “He was na fu\ but just had plenty,” and he began to repeat his lecture af ter first interpolating the follow ing: “Ladies and gentlemen, 1 hare not a doubt that Napoleon Bonaparte was a direct lineal descendant and heir-at-law of a ‘woods colt’ of Julius Ctfisar. begotten while that hero was sowing his crop of wild oats on the hanks of the Adriatic or in one of the isles of the Mediterranean.” The thought was well received and he delivered his lecture with his ac customed eloquence. He was a great lover of Shakespeare, and knew the best plays from stem to stem. He possessed a brilliant, luxuriant, gor geous imagination, which gave a hue to everything that emanated from him, while there was a happy origin ality exemplified in all his utterances. He illustrated Cable’s sentences: “You may dwarf a man till he be the mere stump of what he should be and he will yet put forth green leaves.” MARSHALL IN THE MATT WARD TRIAL. He defended Matt Ward for the murder of Prof. Butler in Louisville about thirty years ago. It was indeed a celebrated case. Communi ties all over the State were divided. His guilt or innocence became a politi cal issue. The interest was great be yond the limits of the State. George D. Prentice, the life-long friend of the father of the accused, championed the son of his friend in the columns of the Louisville Journal and narrowly escaped mob vengeance. His office was sacked and gutted. A change of j venue was had and an array of counsel, such as has rarely bean equalled, ap peared for the defense. Beside Mar shall there were Crittenden, He, Wood ami others, but it 'was univer sal lv conceded that Marshall 8 surpassed all the others. Ani eye wit ness says that one sentence te h.s speech cleared the aoensed- WUb an attitude Garrick would have studied and a tone Talma would have envied, as the elose of a climax, he exclaimed: “ Will vou tear him from his girl wife!” There was not a dry eye in the room, Gray eyes are of many varieties.— There------- bench sob- We will passover in silence the sharp, and the dg I wag once ^ of the shrewish, the spiteful, the cold | bed 1 ke a enn . nartv of hunters in the mountains of and the wild gray eye; every one lias j «• P J.

He presen ted theology of the Nazaren* in a novel and attractive light. He dis coursed of. love and preached all of humanity, all of human longing for peace and security. He brought a tear to every eye, and sent a thrill through every heart, that company, more than one of whom had been skeptical until that day, but were so no more forever. When Henry Clay died, Marshall delivered an eulogy upon his life and character that has become a classic. Longfellow declared that it surpas sed anything ever uttered by the lips of man. and Daniel S. Dickinson, said that he had rather have been the author of it thau to have written “Hamlet.” Among our Exchanges. Danielsville has placed her liquor li cense at $800.

He was 69 years old. The General' Conference of the M. E. Church, South, will meet in Rich mond, Va., ou the first Wednesday in May. A negro boy on Capt. D. B. Cade’s plantation, in Wilkes county, was re cently bitten by a dog which was thought to be mad. A little child of Capt. E. H. Crawley, of Waycross, recently fell into a pot of boiling water and’ was so severely burned that it died within six hours. The reward of $200 dollars offered by the Governor for the apprehension of the incendiary who fired the town of Jacksou will be increased to a larg er amount by the merchants of that place. Mayor Mullins of Chauncey, has had several hundred cigars made from to bacco raised by him last year. They are said to be of delightful ilavor, anti far superior to the average nickel cigar of this day and time. Thursday, in Floyd county, while out hunting, Mr. J. W. Yarborough was accidently shot and seriously wounded by his ten-year-old son. Three squirrel shot entered Mr. Yar borough's temple. Diamonds in plenty, a geologist who has studied the subject says, will vet be found in Georgia in a belt that he locates between Atlanta and the Savannah river, about loo miles in length and from ten to thirty miles in breadth. A young man of Fairburn, who was recently married, was told by his father-in-law to make his home with him until he could do better. The f rateful son-in-law replied: “Yes, hank vou; I don't think I could do better. 1 ’ Philadelphia Press: An Iowa judge has decided that a man is in duty bound to tel! his wife where he spends the evenings when he is away from home. The decision is all right to a certain extent, but suppose the man doesn't know. This is a belated item from the Washington Gazette: “During the late extreme cold weather Mr. J. R. Smith threw some water out of his store door when a pigeon flew down and lit in the water. The water froze and the pigeon stuck fast. Mr. Smith then walked out and picked It up.” Tobe Jackson, a noted bad citizen, strongly suspected of tlie recent at tempt to destroy the house and lives of Judge Collins and his wife at Car- tersville, was chased with blood hounds two or three days, and at last accounts was still ahead of the hounds and making his way towards the mountains. The dead body of Charlie Howard was found one morning recently at the shops of the Marietta & North Georgia rail-road in Marietta, where he was employed as night watchman. His head was horribly crushed by blows with a sledge hammer and an attempt to bum the body and the building had manifestly been made. Joe Hayward was arrested on strong suspicion of being the murderer. The State Agricultural Society of Georgia meets in Columbus on the 9th inst. There will be a great deal of business before the meeting, which will be a very important one. Ad dresses will be delivered by Prof. H. C. White, of the University, Hon. W. H.

Clark arrived at the cattle range in Montana with only about 25 ceuts in his pocket. He now has an income of $2,000 a day. But you need not sell your Georgia farm and start to Montana on this account. While Clark's phenominal success is herald ed to the world, there is nothing said of the failure, misery and death of the ninety-nine other young men who went West about the same time. Don’t get excited and dissatisfied young men. You are already living in the best country in the world if you only knew it. Three aged residents of Jasper coun ty, all died on the same day—the 27th of January—namely: Mrs. Seaborn Hawk, nearly ninety years old; Mrs. Frank Thompson, seventy-five and Mrs. Col. Acre, sixty years old I he first two died of old age and disease, but the clothing of Mrs. Acre caug on fire and she died from the effect of her bums. The funeralservicesof all three were conducted at nhadj Dale church at the same hour and by Jhe same minister ami all three were buried at the same time in one church yard. We are indebted to the Macon Evening News for this interesting, though sad item of news.
