At the meeting of the Americas and Ma-
I iants, in the latter place Tuesday,
The Augusta Chronicle and Constitution
alist says: “Last Wednesday the Burke
HuB&ars had a barbecue at Green’s Cut,
Burke county Among those present were
TTir 1 ?!* John Miller and Charles
J.NValker. Joe Miller and Charles Walker
were at enmity with each other, it appears,
on account of some previous difficulty, and
meeting on ibis occasion the quarrel was re
newed. Pistols were drawn, whereupon
w n stepped between the two.
Walker s pintol was discharged and the ball
entered John Miller’s stomach, inflicting a
mortal wound. Three shots were fired
duriDg the melee. John Miller fell and Joe
Miller jumped upon Walker, when a
desperate hand-to-hand encounter en
sued. Miller finally got Walker down
and beat him severely. Walker
a T way . aD ^ left the ground.
When Joe Miller found how desperately his
brother was wounded he started after
Walker, but was stopped by some of the
people at the barbecue. Dr. Campbell, of
Augusta, was summoned to attend the
wonnded man, but all efforts to save his life
proved unavailing, and ho died about one
o’clock Wednesday night. Mr. Miller was a
high-toned gentleman, beloved by all who
kuew him. He leaves a yonng wife to mourn
his untimely end. Mrs. Miller was at the
barbecue, acd fainted upon the bodv of her
husband when she reached his side after he
was wounded. Walker had not been ar
rested at last accounts. Chief Christian re
ceived a telegram from J. B. Miller yester
day morning, asking him to arreBt Walker
if he came this way.
The Atlanta Constitution ha3 the follow
ing : “We learn from a gentleman from
Southwestern Georgia that great oxcitc-
ment prevails about Americas over a mys
terious murder recently committed near
that town. A few days since the mutilated
and partly decomposed body of a white mau
was found near a deep pool in the heart of a
dense wood near Americus. Every particle
of clothing had been stripped from the body
and burned. Only a small piece of shirting,
about an inch square, with the edges ail
scorched, was found. Tho head had been
torn from the body in tho most brutal man-
nor. It appeared that it had been hacked
at or cut arouud the edges until the gristly
part or the cartilage was reached. This
apparently proved too stubborn for
iho dull knife, and the murderer
had taktn the head and twisted it
off, just as one would twist off the
head of a chicken. The muscles were all
strained, and tangled, and knotted, and the
bony or gristly part of tho neck stood out
fully four inches above the fleshy or fat part
of the body. What was done with the head
no one can imagine. Itwis not thrown into
the pool, and could not have been burnt.
It was doubtless taken to some distant place
by the murderer aud then concealed. No
trace could bo found of tho assassin except
one single footprint. This showed that he
had a small, well-shaped foot and wore a
box-toed shoe, pointing to the fact that it
was a white mau rather than a negro. The
most mysterious thing connected with the
affair is the fact that no clue can be be found
that will suggest the identity of the mur
dered man. There is no one miseiug from
tho city or the neighborhood. Americas
is so small that every man knows
every other mau iu the city or country
around. It is positively certain that the
murdered man is not ’a resident of the
county in which the murder was committed.
Few strangers visit the town, and all who
have been there lately are satisfactorily ac
counted for. There are few peddlers moving
about through that country, but none of
them have been seen for mouths. A sup
posed cluo to the murder was followed a day
or two since, but it led to nothing. A cigar
manufacturer who had been sojourning in
the city for some weeks and who had some
money, left a few days before the body was
discovered accompanied by his journeyman.
Thev failed to report in the town that was
their ostensible point, and it was thought
that ouo of them might have been killed.
Both of them have be-eu definitely located,
however, and the suspicion is absolutely
without a hint. The case is exciting great
interest. Several detectives are working the
matter up.”
The Monticello Constitution has this:
“The latter part of December last a build
ing on the plantation of Mr. Church Croom,
in the lower portion of this county, was
fired by an incendiary and, as was sup
posed, it and contents destroyed by fire. No
cine to the perpetrator of the outrage was
discovered until the present week. It ap
pears that certain negroes in the neighbor
hood of the ‘Turkey Scratch’ plantation
had a difficulty, and became so incensed
with each other that they threatened an
exposure of the burning of the Croom pro
perty. This led to an investigation, and
finally th* arrest of four of the most promi
nent negroes in that section of the county.
Ic appears that the negroes first robbed the
house of its contents, consisting of furni
ture, bedding, etc., and then set fire to the
same, to conceal the robbery. Warrants for
the arrest of tour of the party were issued
Monday night, and they were brought to
town on Tuesday and gave bond for their
appearance at a committal trial on Wednes
day.”
TbG Sumter Advance says : “Quite a num
ber of the convicts are sick, and in conse
quence the whole force has gone into camp
some distance from town, where they will
remain until fully recuperated.”
The Florida Immigrant remarks : “ No
man should come to Florida with the expec
tation of prospering without devoting his
whole time to his farm, and working as en
ergetically here as in the North.” Florida
has no use for carpet-baggers, but heartily
extends a welcome to all who come to work
in honesty aud good faith for themselves
and the State.
The Ocala Bannei' says: “An unfortunate
difficulty occurred on our streets last Mon
day afternoon between Col. S. St. Rogers
and Dr. Thos. P. Gary. In tho encounter
Dr. Gary received a painful though not a
serious wound. As the matter has been
thoroughly discussed on onr streets and
will be fully investigated by the courts, we
forbear to enter into particulars. Many
think that the affair, aa unfortunate as it is,
ia not yet ended, and that either gentleman
is liktlj' to ahoot the other down on sight.”
The Florida Immigrant says : “AmoDg
the various objects ol interear to be found
in Florida may be mentioned a cascade in
Jefierson county, about one mile south of
the Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile
P.ailroad, at Bailey’s Milla. It ia a beautiful
place, and could bo made very valuable.
The small but rapid stream of water, flow
ing down a ravine two miles long aud fifty
or sixty feet deep, would furnish, with little
expense, sufficient power for almost any
purpose. Tho ravine is evidently the result
of volcanic force, and in a geological view
presents some curious and striking features.
Petrified wood, bone, shells and atones are
found abundantly at the bottom. Many cf
the stones are clear as crystal, and deli
cately colored. But tho most singular pro
duct found there is a black substance, giv
ing off, when heated, the 6mell of petroleum.
It is about the consistency of chalk, and can
be used for marking, or lilackiDg shoes.”

[From the New Turk World.]
A gentleman of this city, recently in
Europe, who was present at the reception
given by Minister Pierrepont to General
Grant at the residence of the former, in
Cavendish square, London, gives the fol
lowing interesting account of the way in
which things were managed and mismau
aged during the cx-President's stay in
Loudon:
Tho English people, he says, did not
receive Grant simply as a citizen, nor
even as a great Genera), but really as a
representative of the American people.
They could not bo made to understand
that he was simply an American citizen,
but thought that an ex President was a
sort of ex-King, and couid not by any
possibility be divested of the atmosphere
of royalty ; they had, in fact, a sort of a
you may break, you may shatter the
vase if you will” feel ng about him, and
people opened their houses aud vied with
one another in their exhibition of hospi
tality toward him as standing for the sov
ereignty of the United States. In so
doing they undoubtedly felt that they
were cementing a friendly feeling between
England and the United States. In view
of tho fact that thU good feeling was
shown especially by a class of English
people who had not often before opened
their doors in that way, the absurd, nay,
the disgraceful conduct of Minister Pierre
pont—for such absurdity under the cir-
cumstancesamountedtodisgrace—excited,
our informant says, the indignation of
sensible Americans abroad to the last
degree.
General Grant, he says, behaved very
well, at least when he was left to his own
ideas, but Pierrepont insisted upon mak
ing a fool of him. To show the estima
tion in which Pierrepont is held in Lon
don, our informant said that at one of the
clubs he heard this story told and vouched
for. When our Minister has been invited
to the country residences of English peo
ple, he has gone about talking to the
servants and people on the place about
their master, asking them how they were
treated, how they liked their master, and
similar questions. When taxed with it
he boasted of it and said it was his busi
ness to find out, and that was the only
way in which he could do it! You can
imagine, said ouc informant, how that
story was received in the London clubs
by thinking how Americans would fee!
towards an English guest who so behaved
himself.
“I was present,” be continued, “at the
reception in Cavendish square; there was
really nothing very bad about it except
the crowd. Grant behaved very well,
but he looked to me like a man who had
been dissipating, eatiDg and drinking too
much and too well, until he was puffy,
aud on that occasion he was undoubtedly
about ‘half over the bay,’ but although
he had evidently been drinking much
more than was good for him he did no
thing out of the way. Pierrepont, on
the contrary, no matter how sober, can't
help being always offensive; he is a man
who oils his hair and curls it under at the
ends, dyes his whiskers and then has to
stand the consequences. It would be im
possible to give you a detailed account of
Grant’s stay in London. That he drank
too much at a number of dinners was
well known, but that is nothing very
uncommon in LondoD, and I think
the Englishmen rather liked him
the better for it. Grant himself, I
repeat, if let alone would have got along
very well, I think, and made a good im
pression, but Pierrepont’s snobbery was
painful to Americans and amusing and
disgusting in about an equal degree to
everybody. Pierrepont laid down the
law that General and Mrs. Grant were
entitled to take precedence on occasions
of ceremony over every one but the royal
family. Of course tho diplomatic corps
took issue on the matter, and refused to
acknowledge a iy such claim, so that
Pierrepont had to avoid a meeting be
tween the diplomatic corps and the Gen
eral, which took any amount of manomvr-
ing on his part. General Badeau also
made himself ridiculous by distributing
visiting cards containing the words,^ Aide-
de-Camp in waiting on Gen. Grant; for of
course everybody in London immediately
discovered that there was no such posi
tion or title in existence for any one to
hold The brilliant scheme inverted by
pierrepont, of leaving the General s and
Mrs. Grant's cards upon about two thou
sand people after their departure was all
well enough if they had executed it pro-
perlv- but as it waB, ail London was con
vulsed with laughter over the absurdity
of Mrs. Grant's card adorning the tables
of half the bachelors in London society 1
I could tell vou of many equally and even
more absurd things;” said our informant,
•‘but it is such a disgrace to us to have
been so represented that perhaps the less
there is said or written about it the
better.”
Atlanta, August 2.—The convention
was called to order by President Jenkins,
and prayer offered by Rev. P. W. Edge,
of the Thirty-first district.
At the close of the reading of tho
minutes, Colonel Ingram, of the Twenty-
fourth district, moved to reconsider the
action of yesterday in regard to the office
of Attorney General.
After making a strong and convincing
speech in regard to making the Attorney-
General a part of the Executive Depart
ment and electing him by the vote,of the
people, that he may be independent of
the Governor, Col. Ingram withdrew his
motion, amidst the applause and laughter
of the convention, and under the with
ering and rebuking gaze of the vener
able President, as he said he had accom
plished his desired object—the making
of the speech.
Judge Harrell then desired to recon
sider the action of yesterday in regard to
the adoption of paragraphs three and six
in section four, and spoke in support of
his motion, but it was tabled. The yeas
and nays were called for and resulted m
147 yeas, 37 nays.
Leave of absence was granted to Mr.
Dickey, of the Twenty-fifth district, on
account of sickness.

Judge Wright, of the FoTty-second
district, moved lo reconsider the motion
of Mr. Fontaine, of the Twenty-fourth
district, voted down yesterday, in favor
of having the Superior Court Judges al
ternate. He supported his motion in a
leDgthy and rather scattering speech.
Gen. Wofford, of the Forty-second dis
trict, followed in a concise argument in
favor of the proposed rotating system for
these Judges, as he believed it would re
suit in great good to the entire people of
the State.
Gen. Gartrell, of the Thirty-fifth dis
trict, opposed the measure as unwise and
impracticable. As the law now stands,
the Judges can, if necessary, preside in
any part of the State, but ho opposed
making it compulsory upon them to
alternate.
On motion, of Mr. DuBose, of the
Twentieth district, the motion to recon
sider was tabled by a very heavy ma
jority, showing that the convention was
decided in its opposition to the proposed
change in the judiciary system.
Mr. Boyd, of the Thirty-second dis
trict, desired to reconsider the action
which refused to shorten the term of
office of Ordinary from four to two years,
and made an earnest speech in support
of his proposition. He contended that
this officer was less entitled to an excep
tion in this respect than any other officer
in the State.
A motion to table the motion was lost,
by sound, and a division was called for,
and resulted in 8G yeas and 84 nays. The
friends of reconsideration then asked for
a call of the } eas and nays, with the fol
lowing result 94 yeas to 87 nays.
Senator Hudson, of the Twenty-fifth
district, asked for a reconsideration of
paragraph second in section seven, to
modify the right of appeal. Mr. Mobley,
of the Twenty-fifth district, favored re
consideration, as did also Mr. Willis, of
the Twenty-fifth district, but Senator
Reese, of the Twenty-ninth district, op
posed tho motion, as there was ample
provision now for appeal to a jury in Jus
tices’ Courts. The convention, however,
by 87 yeas to 77 nays, voted in favor of
reconsideration.

Sambo Does His Best fob His Friend.
—A lady whose position enables her to
forma just estimate of the unfitness of
the negroes for legislators in their present
uneducated state sends to the Woman i
Journal a specimen of one of their
speeches, delivered in the lower house of
a Southern Legislature. The speech, by
a negro named Dabbs, who can neither
read nor write, was in opposition to a
proposed tax on dogs, which is greatly
needed to protect the shc-ep. Said Mr.
Dabbs:
“Mr. Speaker: I arises to a point of
discussion, and to explain a few words of
kinds conversation to yon, as has baen
long my desires to do, but has no op
portunity presenting until this time of
present, and which I conducts myself as
a gentleman for both black and white.
In al! this 'lection doings and speeebing
I have keeped my mouth shut, but when
you talks about dogs, you can count me
in—yes, sah—has owned dogs—got dogs
now—good as ever treed a coon; and
when yon remarks about killing them
fellers, you know you're steppin’ on my
toes, and you bound to bear me growl.
Whyfore should attacks be instituted in
this useful friend of both black and
white ? Which is the most benefit to a
man—a dog, or something that ain't no
account ? Sense is sense, and dar ain’t
no foolin’ about a dog. Come at me far
and squar. Politics are one thing and
dogs is another. Whenever you tax dogs,
you’se breaking up infringement on sas-
sengers, and you will have to swallow
your own resolution, mind what I tell
you. And des more wool-gatherin’ in de
Governor’s message than they is dogs in
the United States. Whar’s de use of dis
Miction? No, Jour
nal.
Proceedings of the State Horticnltural
Society.
[■Condensed from the Macon Telegraph of the 3d.]
The society met at nine a. m., and was
called to order bv the President.
The President read his annual address.
He reviewed the work of the society, what
they had accomplished, and proceeded to
give n few suggestions to the assembled
norticulturalists. He spoke of the dis
eases to which trees were subject. The
necessity for the protection of birds was
strongly advocated as they are one of the
farmers best allies. How to dispose of
our excessive productions was carefully
considered. The importance of estab
lishing protective regulations regarding
the introduction of new varieties of fruits
and plants was ably discussed, and many
other topics received treatment.
The address was masterly and elabor
ate, displaying wonderful knowledge of
the subjects treated, and closed with com
plimentary remarks to the press who
aided in the cause, and congratulations
on the increasing signs of interest in hor
ticulture.
President Berckmans then introduced
Professor J. E. Willett, who had been
chosen to read an essay on etomology.
The Professor selected as his subject the
relation of etomology to horticulture. It
was a well digested production, and the
subject was treated in that clear and
practical manner characteristic of the
learned Professor in the sciences.
Mr. Moses, of Washington county, of
the standing committee on peach cul
ture, announced that his report was
ready, but on account of its length, asked
permission to allow it to ba submitted
without reading. Request granted, and
it was referred, without reading, to the
publication committee. Mr. Aoses, of
the committee to report on tho benefits
of the agricultural department, reported
as follows:
Gentlemen—Your committee feel that
an explanation is due the general public
as to the necessity for its action. It is a
fact known to every intelligent farmer of
this State that the Agricultural Depart
ment is of great importance to the plant
ing and farming interest, and that its
expenses, if ever absorbed out of the
revenue derived from the other interests
(which is now the case) are so insignifi
cant as to render it ridiculous to defend
it against any attack made on the score
of economy. The entire expenses of
this bureau do not exceed one and one
half cents per capita of the people of this
State.
It is a fact, that any personal comment
at this time as to the motives that influ
enced the majority report would be ill
timed, in bad taste and unbecoming in
us. Wo therefore deem that the only
proper action for us to take should be of
of the following character, and we ask
this body a unanimous approval of
the following memorial, which we con
sider it would be our duty to our farming
interests to lay before the Constitutional
Convention now assembled in Atlanta:
To non. C. J. Jenkins, President Consti
tutional Convention, Atlanta, Ga.:
Sib—Thoroughly impressed with the
importance of your position and the
duties devolving upon yourself and the
members of the Constitutional Conven
tion, wo, your petitioners, earnestly and
solemnly beg of you such action j as will
perpetuate the existence of the Agricul
tural Department of this State, which we
believe to be of vital interest to us and
the greatest aid we have ever experienced
towards improved progressive farming.
The report was unanimously adopted.
The Committee on Patents and Patent
Machines reported.
The Committee on Examination of
Fruits reported and the reports were re
csived.

Mr. Stubbs, of the Committee on Sale
of Fruit, reported tho fruit was still un
told, and wanted the society to take some
action on the subject, as tho sale was
unremunerative.
Mr. Moses moved that the sale con
tinue, and that the Executive Committee
be instructed to brffig in an estimate of
the expenses and amount needed to meet
the demands of the society. Carried.
On motion of Mr. Jenkins, a vote of
thanks was returned to Mrs. H. C. Thorn
ton, of Cuthbert, for beautiful flowers
and a donation of five dollars.
AFTEBNOON SESSION.
The reports of several committees were
read and adopted. Dr. Hape, of Atlanta,
made a report as Chairman of the Miscel
laneous Fruit Committee. The Execu
tive Committee reported that about three
hundred dollars was needed, and that it
was necessary for the stockholders to pay
an assessment of ten per cent, on their
stock.
A committee was appointed to wait on
Mr. Cole, of Atlanta, and to get from him
some funds belonging to a former horti
cultural society.
Macon was selected as the place of
holding the next annual meeting, on the
last Wednesday in July.
On motion the society concluded to
send delegates to the American Pomo-
logical Society in Baltimore m Septem
ber.
Dr. Brown, Messrs. Hape, Newman,
Freeman aud Berckmans were appointed
delegates.
BESOLUTIONS OF THANES.
Resolutions of thanks were unanimous
ly passed to the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger, the several railroads, the Ma
sonic fraternity, the Southern Express
Company, the city hotels, Mr. Freeman,
the Mayor and the citizens generally.
The remaining fruits of the catalogue
were discussed and the society adjourned.
Those who remember how Major Tcm
Ochiltree was appointed United Statts
Marshal for the State of Texas—persuad
ing President Grant that he, Major Tom,
was seriously injured in the defense of
the President’s good name against
crowd of Texas ruffians—will not be
prejudiced aiainst the truth of this other
story anent him as told by a New Mexico
newspaper : “On one occasion he was
in England, a guest of a nobleman who
had come in contact with him during a
visit to this country, and who had fallen
an easy victim to Tom’s unsurpassed im
pudence and power of fascination. The
Englishman had taken Tom to London
aud was exhibiting him to his friends as a
genuine American lion. Tom was plenti
fully supplied with funds by his noble
frknd and was cutting a grand figure.
One day Tom and his friend met the
Prince of Wales at a club. The noble
man asked permission of the Prince to
introduce his American friend. Leave
having been obtained Tom wa9 formally
introduced to the heir apparent. He
grasped the royal hand and shook it
heartily and then burst.out: ‘Wales, old
fellow, I'm devilish glad to know you ;
let’s take a drink!’ The horror of the
nobleman was changed to - amazement
when the Prince gave Tom’s hand a hearty
shake and replied: ‘Don’t care if I do.’
Cheek carried the day.”

Mr. Edmund L. Goold, a guest of Sen
ator Sharon and a personal friend of Bal-
stoD, gave Eli Perkins the following inci
dent in the life of the unfortunate Cali
fornia Bank President, which affords a
clew to his character.
Mr. Ralston in 184$ was a clerk on a
Mississippi steamboat. He was generous
and poor. One day he went into tho
banking house of Lake & Martin, in St.
Louis, and accosting Mr. Martin famil
iarly, said :
“I say, Martin, can’t you let me have
$,-.00?”
‘I dorft see how we can, Billy,” said
Mr. Martin, “unless you can give us some
security. Who can you get to indorse for
you ?*
Ralston scratched his head a moment
acd admitted that he couldn’t get any
security. Said he, “Martin, the fact is
I’m broke—dead broke—but I’ve got a
chance to go in with C. K. Garrison down
at Panama, and I must have $500 to get
there. ^
After a while Mr. Martin decided that
he would lend Ralston $500 on his own
account and run the risk of payment, and
giving it to him Ralston started down the
river to join Commodore Garrison. This
was in ’48.
“Did Ralston ever pay Martin?” I ask
ed Mr. Goold. “Ralston forgot all about
it, or else he lost track of Martin. But
fourteen years afterwards I met Martin
in New York. He was broke then him
self—gone all to pieces—hadn’t a dollar.
Ralston at this time was at the meridian
of his glory, spending money by the mil
lions. Well, one day Martin came up to
me looking very seedy, and asked me if in
my travels in California 1 had ever met a
man by the name of Billy Ralston !”
“Billy Ralston?” said I. “B i-l-l-y
R-a-l-s t-o-n ! why I know a man by the
name of William A. Ralston—used to be
with Commodore Garrison in Panama.
It was Fitz, Ralston «fc Garrison in San
Francisco, but now Ralston is at the head
of it.”
“Well, Mr. Goold, that’s the same Billy
Ralston that borrowed $500 of me down
in St. Louis iu ’48. Do you think he
could pay it back now ?”
“Pay it I ack ?” said Mr. Goold, “why,
you’re joking. Pay it back! Ralston pay
$5001 Why, Martin, Ralston can pay
back $5,000,000.
“Well,” said Martin, “when you sec
Billy in ’Frisco }*ou just tell him ’bout
me—and if he ain’t strapped and if ’twont
break him up, I jes wish he’d pay me
that $500.”
“The fact of it is,” said Mr. Goold, as
he told the story, “I thought Martin was
joking. I bad no idea that Ralston o»ved
him anything. But when I got back to
California I thought I’d banter Ralston
about it. So one day when I was in
Ralston’s room I said jokingly :
“You’re a nice fellow, Ralston, to be
cheating an old lriend out of $500, ain’t
you ?”
“What do you mean ?” said Ralston.
“Why, when I was in New York the
other day a man by the name of Martin—”
“What?” exclaimed Ralston, jumping
to hi3 feet, “Warwick Martin ?”
“Yes, Warwick Martin—”
“Where’s his address? Here!” he
shouted to the cashier of the bank,
“telegraph $10,000 to the credit of War
wick Martin — quick!” and Ralston
danced around like a crazy man.
“The next day,” continued Mr. Goold,
“Warwick Martin received a telegram
from Lae & Wallers, No. 34 Pine street,
to call and receive something deposited
to his credit.”
“By jingo!” said Martin to his wife,
“I’ll bet Billy has sent me that $500. If
he has, Betty, you can pick out a silk
dross at Stewart’s,” and then he hurried
off to Lee & Wallers.
“I called to see about some money,”
said Martin, looking through the back
screen at Mr. Lee. “You say I have some
to my credit here.”
“How much are you expecting, and
who from ?’’ asked the banker, carefully,
as is the custom with people who received
money by telegraph.
“I’m looking for $500 from Billy Ral
ston,” said Martin.
“No $500 to your credit here,” said
the banker, “but there is $10,000 to War
wick Martin.”
“Ten thousand dollars!” gasped Martin.
“Yes, $10,000.”
“Well, ’tain’t me,” said Martin sorrow
fully, “it’s some other Martin, and ’tain’t
from Billy, after all. Just my luck !”and
Warwick drew his hand across his brow,
and sighed with disappointment.
“If your name is Warwick Martin, jou
can take this $10,000,” said Mr. Lee.
“By Jupiter,” said Warwick, as ho
narrated the incident to Mr. Goold, “I
didn’t think ’twas mine; but I thought of
Betty—thought of the dress I had prom
ised her, and then I took the money and
sneaked home like a culprit. I handed
it to Betty, but I never smiled for two
days, I was so afraid the mistake would
be detected. But when I got a letter
from Ralston himself,” said Martin, “I
tell you there was a high old celebration
in our house.”
After Dinner Naps*
No wonder if half the world knows
how pleasant it is to take an after dinner
nap, and what a relief it is to the over
burdened brain—or stomach. We used
to know a lawyer who took his nap every
day after dinner on three chair?; and
that lawyer, if he continues his practice,
will die an old man. If there is any one
time wheu a man i3 forced to exert him
self—whether in muscular or brain labor
—to work, it is after the noonday meal.
If all men could only rest, not one hour,
but two hours, and could put the extra
time on the closing hours of the day,
what an improvement would be made in
the health! Whether he be a farmer, or
a mechanic, or a professional man, a good
rest after dinner leaves the man in a bet
ter condition lor hard labor than even in
the morning. It was a sensible
farmer who in harvest always
made an agreement with his
workmen to work ten hours a day, and
from twelve o’clock to two o'clock no
work was done unless in case of emer
gency, a threatened rain, or something
that required extra exertion. The men
had glorious times sleeping under trees
after dinner. They always used up three-
quarters of an hour at the table, and then
slept one hour aud a quarter during the
heat of the day. The result was, they
were never overworked, and the farmer
got more labor from hia men than did
any of his neighbors from theirs, though
their men often worked twelve hours per
day. When two o’clock came the hands
were in good trim, completely rested, and
could.do double the work with more ease
than if they had commenced work at one
o’clock, A single hour’s rest at the prop
er time works wonders.
A passenger is just about to settle with
his coachman ; the trip took about an
hour, and he has drawn out the necessary
two francs and a ten sous piece, when he
says: “Say, coachee, you might have

swers, with a mocking smile, “Couldn’t
thinks of it; can’t hurt the horse ; I am
a member of the S. P. C. A.” “And I,”

back into his pocket, “am Past Worthy
