E V A N H k RAGLAND. From tbt Savannah Nows, 14th Inst. Iu a Rermoirpreached yesterday morning in tho Baptist Oh it roll by the ttev. Timothy Hnrloy tho following picture was given of a righteous man. Wohld that every man answered to the description ! “Let me roughly draw the outline of an ideal righteous man. The sketoli may encourage those who resemble it ntul oiti be a terror to uoue but evil doers. The righteous man is just in all his ways, and whatever his biihinesH or occupation, ho does everything on equal and right principles. As u minister of religion he spuiikH wlmt he believes to bo true, and not what he thinks would be taking, lie is more ambi tious ol the approval of God than of the applause, of mini. He cures nothing for usage, or tradi tion, or oieed, ho mres lor only eternal verity. As m jurist, he regards lawyer and liar us by no means couvertihlu terms. He detests duplicity and the double tongue, and labors to harmonize the jurisprudence of earthly courts with tho jus tice of the JuiL'o ol all. As a physician, iu feel ing the pulse, he uever thinks ol the purse, lor he is mors concerned for the publio health than for his own private wealth; and he never kills a pullout for the benefit of experience. As a mer chant he measures out thirty-six inches to the yard, and gives sixteen ounces to tho pound. II he be a grocer be does not adulterate; if a cot ton factor bis bales are of equal quality with Ins samples. H.s pi ices cause no complaint, lor he seeks but a moderate pofifc, and never adds any thing that he may afterwards take it off. His creditors receive one hundred cents to tho dol lar, even though it should cost him the loss of all things. Ho is considerate to those who nre associated with him, doing to his inferiors as he would that his superiors should do unto him. He abhors trickery and puffery, shamming aud shuffling, nud whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie. In social and domestic life be is the same immutable man of right. As a good husband, ho neither covets liis neighbor’s wife nor craves the embraces of the strange womau. As a parent, be is ueither weak iu indulgence nor feartul iu severity. As a worthy irieud, be will have no friend save among the worthy. His personal habits are irreproachable, ho being neither a dandy nor a sloven, an epicure nor an ascetic. Iu all things he is evenly ' balanced—a man of moderation, Rtrictly aud steadily main taining an equipoise of right. In bis piety, be does not use his religion as a cloak of secret in dulgence. He is a Christian not because it is proper or politic, but because it is right. Nor does he atteud the church that offers the best society, that is most wealthy or fashionable, for that would be a confession that be stood iu need of borrowed excellence; he rather goes where truth aud righteousuess are taught, aud creates his own society. Iu all things he is a downright upright man." A FEW WORDS TO YOUNG MEN. “Can’t afford it; I know very well my salary won’t justify mein buying so many olothes; in hiring a livery tig every day, and such like—bat you know one might just as well be out of the world as out of the fashion,” said a young clerk, who is pinched in means, harly able to keep bis head above water, but witbal, a willing subject to all tho exactious of our “high-toned society." Ilis noble independence, his keen sense of pio- priety, takes the last dollar that he has to fit him out for tho next party; yes, and if his pocket book is strapped, his rule iu society must be played—be runs on bis credit for auothei pair of kids. A few years of bis false life saps his man hood and brings him to a con itiou of moat ab ject slavery. Wuy will young persons barter away individuality or happiness, aud cater to the whims aud demands of extreme formal soci ety, when their circumstances and common sense dictate that they should protest against such folly ? We commend the courage, and the mauliuess of a certain young man, whom we heard say. in the face of these things: “I won’t knuckle to all tho exactions of tho society in which I move when I can’t afford to do it; I should really be afruid to appear at the house ol my employer dressed as some of my youug friends are, for suspicion would mark me down as a thief. If society won’t receive me as I am able to appear, I’ll keep out of it.” Youug friend, it tho money standard is the one that regulates tho social circle to which you are looking, place your purse aud character iu the balance, aud then decide whether that is the place for you. Do not eutertniu the uotiou ihat you can draw in ndvauceou your mouibly wages or borrow an occasional “ten," to pay for this “flue suit” or that “gold-headed cane,” and maintaiu thereby a worthy standing in any soci ety. If you would make the most of your time und talents, uuyose yourself from the bondage of sham life; try to bo yourselff live within your means; cultivate an individuality that shall be the outgrowth of the best qualities of your mind; and your character thus nurtured uuder these con iitions, will bear the impress of reality aud exert the most potent influence for good.

Wo want it distinctly understood, before we proceed any further, that we are a friend of the colonel—that is to say, we are a Irieud of the colonel it he is not a military colonel. A mili tary colouel has no right to the title. He may have warned it iu the war right in front of the cauu< u’s mouth, but more peacelul days have dawned upou us, and now we Lave the iusnr- auce colonel, the sewing-machine colonel, the dry-goods colouel, tho commission colonel, the grocery colouel, the newspaper colouel, aud the lawyer colonel. You may pick your colouel Irani any pile you choose, and we’ll stand up promptly aud say we admire him. There is honor iu the title und we take pleuure in bestow ing it ou Irieud nud loe alike. To ba a man and not be a colonel (unless, indued, you were promoted .luring the war) is something nrepos- terous. We can conceive of no such misfortune as that which prevents a inau from becoming a colouel iu his owu right. There is no law on the statute book against it, and if ti ere were it uld be a dead letter. Every couuty, every community and every family would cry out against the injustice of nn enactment deprivin; them ot their usual quo’a of colonels. For our part we thiuk there ought to be a law passed conferring the title of colouel upou every male child over twelve years of age, without regard to color or previous condition. In tliut case all the men would be colouels aud all the women col- onelesses. Here is the true liuu of progr. ss t While colonels are in fashion let us make the most of them. Let us utilize them, ns it were, for the purpose of advancing civilization. It is idle tor men who have no lilies to sneer at those who have. What would Georgia do without her hundred tbouMiud colonels? With out its colouels, what a weak and vapid body the legislature would be. Ah, no! let us cling to our colonels. Instead of weeding them out, let us eudeuvor to nurture those we have and invite others, through the medium of immigra tion ageuts. What Georgia needs is more colo nels. —Atlanta Constitution. THE POWER OF A SOLID SOUTH. CHIPS AND WHET-STONES. THE EUROPEAN OOBDLE. Bays Gtorgo to Alexander, Let’s end this stirvlng peace; If you will cook tho Turkey, Why l’U supply tho ureoco. Very unsatisfactory sort of bread—the roll of Mr. Howard Carroll, a famous correspondent of the New York Times, evidently thiuks tho solid South is the biggest thing politically of the 19th century. Ho says the people of this sec tion know t eir power and intend to keep it. They control the house of representatives; they will iu two years couttol the Senate. This ma jority they will increase by dividing Texas into a uumber ol Slates. Mr. Carroll also says that the next Presidency is within their grip, uud adds: “Who is to prevent them from electing any candidate that may suit their fancy? They have 138 electoral votes. These they can secure without spending a dollar, for, of course, the Re publican party in the cotton States is dead, aud will uever again come :o liie. To make up votes enough iu the Electoral College to secure the seating of their candidate, all they have to do is to carry New York, with her 35 votes, and Indi ana with her 15. These two States, together with tho ‘solid South,’ give 188 votes, or a ma jority of seven in the Electoral College. Does any out suppose that the Southern Democrats are not aware of these facts? They know but too weil that to secure the National Admiuistra- tiou they have only to carry two Northern States; they know but too well that they need make uo fight ou the Pacific const; all the New England States, iucludiug Connecticut, they can let go by default; they need make no effort in ull the West outside of Iudinuu; aud from all the great States of that section, from California, from the rich Democrats of Boston, from the South aud the Eoht, they can pour money with out end into the two States named. New York and Indiana can be made repositories tor the political assessments It vied on the Democratic tuithlul iu every other part ot the Union.” ROASTED ALIVE. Q.UEEN AND WIFE. 1837.

I am grateful for the honor bestowed at St. Louis in the 6olid vote cast for me by the Ohio delegation. I would have been elected Governor of Ohio for a second term had it not been for the ouh ide influence from New York. It came from men who were fearful of my success. They sent thoueauds of papers iuto the State, but I should have beaten them, notwithstaudiug thiir d—d papers, if it had uot been for their money. There were men inside of the State, inside of our own party, who were not over-zealous in my behalf. Time makes all things even.” Binghampton, N. Y., May 15.—An awful ca lamity occurred to-day at Little York, Cortlandt county,a station of the Syracuse aud Binghamp- tou Railroad, about filty miles north of this city. The depot building, a story and a half structure, was iu charge ot Frauk Duuuegau, a brakeumu, who lived iu a part of it wi b his family. Duu- uegan started a tiro iu the stove down stairs be tween five and six o’clock this morning,aud then went to a baru across the two tracks and some distance away. He was accompanied by bis wjfe. Their children, five in number, were left asleep iu the upper story. The parents had been at the barn but a few minutes when they discovered that the upper part of the depot was iu flames. Both rushed to the building aud at tempted to get up stairs to rescue the children, but the tla nes, had gaiued such headway as to prevent the asceut of the agonized parents, and tue unfortunate little oues were rousted alive. Mrs. Duuuegau was severely burned in the face, and her husband was compelled to use force to prevent her from perishing with the children, in a hopeless effort to save their lives, 'i he poor mother uud father could hear tbeir little ones calling for help, ud the situation was heartrend ing iu the extreme. At about 8:30 o’clock this morning, when the passenger train from Syra cuse passed Little York, the depot bad burned down, and the bodies of four of the children, shockingly burned, had be*-n removed from the ruins. The remaius oi the filth body had not yet been taken out. The eldest of the fivo was but eight or nine years old. Why is gold like the Prodigal Sou? Because it’s returning to par. Why is the letter “a" like a lamb? Because it iu the begiuuing of “sheep.” The book-keeper wbo fell from a column of figures is still iu a critical state. Didn't want bis heirs to starve to death—Tho muu who left provisions in his will. A dog fight is not a noble spectacle, although it is undoubtedly a display ol cur rage. When is a candle like a toDibstou ? When a womau puts it up for her late husband. “Are you fond of tougae, sir?” “I was al ways foud of tongue, aud I like it still.” A worn-out purent has named bis first baby Macbeth, because he has “murdered sleep.” A Chicago mau wants to commit suicide by telegraph, but does not know how to accorn- pliKh it. “My dear,” said a lady to her husband, “what is cotton duck ?” “Oh,” said he, nonchalantly, “a kind of canvass buck.” A paper iu South Cnroliua is called the Kut Shell. It is appropriately edited by a Colonel (Kerned) and published by a Crackmau. Fluff has lost faith in blue glass, because be says the Ruslund had a cargo of it ou board, and it was uo preventive against stiauding. If Turkey is to be annexed to the Czar do minion, why is she like a fashionable lady? Because it is necessary to rouge her (Russia.) Curran was once asked by a judge on the bench, “Do you see anything ridiculous iu this wig?” "Nothing but the head,” was tho reply. Dresses are to be cut so tight that the Detroit Free Press says if a busbaud kicks his wife ou the sbius tho bruise will be plaiu to the public eye. “Has that jury agreed?" asked the judge ot a sheriff, whom he met ou the Btuirs with a bucket iu bis band. “Yes,” replied Patrick, “they have agreed *o send out for a half gallou." A politician who was a great stickler for equality iu ull things, perceiviug two crows fly ing side by side, exclaimed, “Ah, that is just us it should be; I bate to see one crow over uuother. “He is a man after my own heart, pa,” said Julia, revertiug to her Augustus. “Nousense,” replied old Practical, “lie is alter the money your uncle left you.” And then all was quiet. Tho other day iu nn up-town residence a ring at the door was heard, and the servant girl, call ing to her mistress, said: “Please, muin, go to the door, and ef its anybody for me, tell ’em I’m engaged.” A schoolboy going out of tho playground without leave, oue of his masters called alter him and inquired where he was going, “I am going to buy a bu’porth ot nails.” “Whut do you want a bu’porth of nails for?" “For a hall penny,*' replied the youngster. “Where shall we put this ?’’ asked a mau of a Milwaukee woman, at tho sumo tune pointing to the dead body of her husband, which he and other neighbors bad brought home. “Well," said the widow, “I’m suro I don’t know. I’m just doue house-cleaning, aud I cunt have it brought in here.” It Takes Two to quarrel.—A woman out on North Hill, beiug counted out the other morn ing, after a debate ou the question: “Who shall arise mid build a lire !" got up and split her husbatid’s wooden leg into kindling wood. It made him so mad that he got hold of her false teeth and bit a dog with them. She cried until she had a fit of hysterics aud flipped out his glass eye, and climbed up ou the bed post, aud stuck the glariug eye to tho ceiling with a bit of chewing gum. Theu he took her wisp of l&lse hair nud tied it to u stick, and began white washing the kitchen with it. Then she started off to obtain a divorce, but Judge Newuau de cided he couldu’t grant a divorce unless there were two parties to the suit, and there was hardly euougn left of them to make one. Scene in Court. —“William, look—tell us, William, who made you ?’’ William, who was considered a fool, sciewed up his lace, aud looked thougktlul aud some what bewildered - “Moses I b’posel’’ “That will do," said counselor Gray, address ing the court. “The witness says he supposes Moses made him; that is uu intelligent auswer —more than I thought him capable of giving, for it shows that ho has some faint, idea of Scripture. I submit that it is uot sufficient to entitle him to be sworu as a witness capable oi giving evideuce.” “Mr. Judge," said the fool, “mny I ax the lawyer a quesiiou ?” “Certaiuly,” said the judge. “Well, theu, Mr. Lawyer, who d'ye s’pose made you ?” “Aaron, I s’pose,” said counselor Gray, imi tating the witness. After the mirth had some what subsided, the witness drawled out: “Wall, uo’ow wo do read in the Book that Aaron once made a call, but who thought the darned critter got in here !’’ The judge ordered the mau to bo sworu. Olive Logan, in a London letter to tho Ban Francisco Call, tells a very pretty story ol Vic toria aud Albert's married life. Long years ago the royal couple quarreled. Chagrined and vexed, the Prince retired to his room and looked he door. The Queen took the matter quie ly for a while, but after the lapse of an hour, she went to the door and rapped: “Albert," she said, “come out.” “No, I will not,” auswered the Prince within. “Go a wuy; leave me alone 1” The royal temper waxed hot at this. “Sir,” she cried, “come out at once. The Queen, whose subject you are, commands you.” He obeyed immediately. Entering the room she designated, be sat down in silence. Fora loug time nothing was said. The Q leeu was the first to break the silence. “Albert,” she said, “speak to me.” “Does the Queen command it?” be asked. “No,” she answered; throwing her arms about his neck, “your wife begs it." The curtain fell, aiul Olive Logan cane away. A Burlinoton base ball man while out prac ticing tho other day, threw a ball ninety-five yards, iuto a kitchen window, knocked over a pot of soup, scalded the cook, pul 'out the tire, spoiled the dinner aud killed a cut. He is, with out dispute, “the noblest throw man of the ball.” Columbia, S. C., May 18.—The joint Assem bly, by a unanimous vote, elected Cupt. Henry Mclver, ol Cheraw, Associate Justice of the Su preme Couit to-day, to fill the vacancy occasion ed by the elevation of Judge A. J. Willard to the position of Chief Justice. A Vermont personal advertisement reads as follows: “If the young mau who sat in the chair where a lady had left a dish of maple sugar to cool at the festival the other eyeuiug, will return the saucer, he will save himself fur ther interruption." Atlanta, May 18. —Ou Wednesday last a rich discovery of gold was made iu the lower ebuft of the Findley Gold Miue near Dahlouega. Il is a well defiued, regular vein, shows an aston ishing yield of gold, and it is said will assay $3,000 per ton. “AS OTHERS SEE US. CONIPL MKNT8 OF THE SEASON.

Address JAMES VICK, Rccbccter, N. Y MORE EXTRAVAGANT THAN BULLOCK. Wo oopy from the Atlanta Constitution a card of Gen. A. 0. Garlington, explaining how it was that he and others received, or are to receive, $50,000 of the money recovered by the State on account of the Western & Atlantic Railroad. The explanation seems to relieve Gov. Colquitt of all responsibility in tbe matter; as be was bound by a contract made before he took the Executive chair. But it would really appear, if nil the circumstances are correotly stated, that Bullock was more mindful of the interest of the Slate than any other party to the contract or contracts. He limited the commission or pay to 124 per cent., bat it was afterwards raided to twenty-five per Oent.', without any necessity that is revealed. We hope that Gov. tiinith will further explain this matter.—Columbus Times. Some strange things happen some times in this world, but the most singular case that wo have heard of lately is told by the New York Witness. It appears that tbe Witness has been mailed to the Rev. Leaven Fausette, Port Hud son, Louisiana, aud that a few days ago the pub lisher got a letter from thr postmaster at Port Hudson, saying, “The paper uddressed to Leav en Fuusetto is nut takeu out, so please discontin ue the same,” aud then with striking brevity the postmaster added, “Reason: He was huug lasl June, 1876, and is no more.” This is all the uews that tbe Witness hAB been able to obtain about the fate of Rev. Mr. Fausette, and being troubled on account of the fate of its Port Hud son reader, it is now trying to fiud out 1 ‘how so strange a thing as the hanging of a minister of the Gospel took place.” New Yobs, May 17.—The heat in the oity to day has been intense. At half-padt 3, p. in., the thermonieter registered 90 in the shade. Several persons were prostated by tbe beat. At 5 o’clock quite a heavy shower passed over the city, whioh bad the effect of cooling the atmos phere, but at this hour, midnight, tbe heat is oppreBPive. Sublime Porte means “magnificent entrance.” It is reported to oome from the circumstance that Orkhan (1226-60) erected iu his capital, Brusu, a palace with au imposing entrance, on which he bestowed the name of “Sublime Porte,” which from that time to the present has been applied to the monarch and government of the Ottomans. The use of the term, too, is partly owing to the Oriental custom of transact ing publio business at the gate, or the ante* chamber of the palace. * Boston, May 17.—Prof. Alexander Graham Bell lectured here this evening before a large audience, on sound and eleotrioity, giviug a general statement of previous attempts to oum- mumeute sound by means of wire. The speak ing telephouo was exhibited and experiments made with wires connected with Trenton end with New Brunswick, N. J. The teste proved very satisfactory to tbe large audience. Christian Robs, father of the lo6t boy, bad a long conference with P. T. B.truum, at Bridge port, lost Saturday. The great showman be lieves that if the boy is still living he cun effect his restoration, and with Mr. Ross’ consent will offer a reward of ten thousand dollars, “no questions asked.” It is a dull publio that does uot understand how Mr. Barnum will get bis money back if he fiuds the lad.
