A solemn warning of the peril of prosecuting editors for libel has been given iu Lebanon, nsylvania, where the verdict was in favor ot the editor,and tho libolod man is iu jail because he couldn’t raise tho money to pay tho cost. John Taylor, boss Mormon, has nino wives, and they speak ot him sometimes as if ho sal on a board cross-legged.

One may think what one pleases of tho legal title of tho President; ono may smile incrcdu lously at tho hitherto imperfect results ot his so-called civil-service reform; ono thing, how ever, is evident—that he has succeeded in re conciling tho hostile portions of tho country— the North and the South—in awakening feelings ot mutual regard and renewed friendship be tween them, which will bo of the most beueti- cent results as well for tho political as business development of the country, if no unforseeu events or provocations come between.—Cincin nati VollcsblaU, hid. At a recent sale of short-horned cows iu New England a beast named "Fifth Duchess ol liill- hurst” was sold amid great applause for $22,500. She is said to bo the highest priced cow iu Eng land, and is described as “a charming creature.” The largest sum over paid for a cow is believed to ho $30,750, lor the •"Duchess of Geneva,” which was sold at New York Mills in that State two or three years ago. $22,500 is the next highest sum. Tho ablest lies always como from France. For instance: "Adog in Seirk, Franco, returned good tot evil. Ilis master, a peasant, attuched a stone to his neck and throw him into iho Mo selle. Tho poor brute sank, but llie cord broke and ho roso to tho surface and made des perate efforts to get into the bout Ills master pushed him repeatedly with tui oar, and at length stood up and endeavored to strike him a violent blow. In tho attempt tho man fell into tho water. The dog swam to him and held him up by the clothing until aid arrived.” A DIC AT II IN COURT. JUDGE BARNARD HILL DIRS UrON THE BENCH. About 0 o’clock on Thursday ovening while tho superior court was in session at Knoxville, tho county seat of Crawford county, Judgo Bar nard Hill, tho presiding judge, died upon tho bench in iv sudden manner, Tho Dels appeal; to bo as follows: A criminal trial, in which two negroes were charged with larceny, had just been concluded and tho jury returned a verdict of guilty. They neglected to state tho value of tho goods stolon and Judge Hill remarked to them that they had best retire and supply this portion of tho verdict. They returned to tho room and a lull in tho pro ceedings occurred. A few moments alter one of the attorneys looked up and discovered that Judge Hill's head was thrown back upon his chair, a deathly pallor overspreading his counte nance. Friends lushed to him, but with an easy gasp Lis spirit passed away and ho sat dead upon tho bench in the midst of the discharge ol duly. The scene was ono to awo and impress every heart, and there was a deep feeling of sorrow in every breast, Tho cause of death was probably heart disease, and not apoplexy as was loported The symptoms lead to the former conclusion and eye-witnesses of tho awful allair agree iu this belief. Tho remains wore given every attention and convoyed to Macon. Wo did not ascertain whether they will bo interred at Macon or at Talbolton, but presume at tho latter place, be side those of his wife, lately deceased. Judge Hill, wo learn, was ot northern birth, but lias lived many years in Georgia, and at the tiiuo of his death was 73 or 71 years of ago. lie was one ol tho ablest lawyers in tho Chattahoo chee circuit. IIo lived for long years at Tulbot tom and was greatly admired lor his mental and legal acquirements and lor his other excellent qualities of head and heart. Before the war ho removed to Macon and always commanded re spect, practice and a lino measure of success. In 1873, Gov. Smith appointed him judge of tho superior court of the circuit to which Bibb county belongs. Since then ho has smve I with distinction upon the bench, and has death will cause profound sorrow everywhere in middle Georgia. Ho was a man well lit.ud, of splendid impulses and a lawyer of great fame. But ho, too, has gone "to tho bourne from whence no traveler returns.” liis labors nearly done, may he sloop iu sweetest peace.—Atlanta Constitution. LIFE RESCUE. m m The true plan to follow, when safety is tho call, is to swim with everything below the chin well down below the water, tho head well back and resting centrally on tho lloating power of the lungs. But what will you do when your comrade is lived out and drowning? That de pends. Ii lie is cool and reliable, get in front ot him, lot him place his hands on your hips (not your shoulders),and you can carry him quite a distance. That supposes the parties, rescued and rescuer, understand la r play. Tho weaker party is tho ono that ought to drown, if ho shows any disposition to drown his friend by a miserable, cowardly death-clutch of tho only floating thing around him. Iu tho caso of the death-clutch go to the bottom with your man and leave him thero. There may be an unpleas ant wrestle hut tho real drowning mail is ready to quit his prey when ho strikes bottom. Tho better man has his right to como to surface and swim to shore. But in a considerable swimming experience, and some rescues, thero comes ono absolute rule: Never face a drowning man. lie welcomes rescue so eagerly that lie will hug you nround tho neck and take you down. Tho safest and best thing to do is to get behind him.and unless you are left-handed,put your leit hand under liis arm-pit. Tho lilt you give him will bo enough in ordinary water. Ho can bo coaxed to help himself, and if ho is a reasonable being you can bring him to shore. It ho is iusauo with fright, recollect that you are both to be prudent and heroic. Get away from him, clutch his ankle with ono hand and tow him ashore. Ii the bank is near, ho is not likely to drown on tho way. If be does it is not your fault. But a bravo swimmer is master ol liis element. I onco saw two young fellows rescue a drown- g comrade in a way that is remarkable for its neatness. The poor fellow was in mid-stream, imped and exhausted,and barely able to keep iMoat. Which was first was never decided, but critical moment both wore behind him, each with a hand under an arm-pit; he was ul- ost a dead weight on their hands, and they vain him ashore, more dead than alive. It was struggle, hut they were masters of tho situa tion.—Ut. Nicholas for July. Notwithstanding tho immense amount of un friend Jy criticism to which tho University has been subjected during tho last threo years, its indorsements by properly constituted authori ties aro stronger to-day than they have over boon. Theso indorsements arc three, viz: 1. Tho Board of Visitors. This Board con sisted of ten gentlemen selected by the Governor from various parts of tho Htato. Eight of them were practical teachers, men of ability and ex pel ionce; ono was u lawyer and ono an editor. They remained in Alliens eight days during term lime. They saw tho institution in actual operation,and made a most thorough and search ing investigation ol its history for tho past year, and of. its present condition. Tho institution was probably never before subjected to so rigid a scrutiny. Tho report of Ibis thoroughly in formed and impartial Board is iu the highest de gree complimentary. Tho most ardent friends ol the prC'ont administration must be hard to ; please ii they aro not satisii cd with the report ol this Board. 2. Tho Board of Trustees, This body consists ol thirty-two ot tho wisest, ablest and best tnen in the State, It would be impossible to dupli cate this body in Georgia. Tho same number of men, equally known, coolly honored, and equally confided iu,“flailriot u6Toffnd within our b o dors. This Board was in session eight days, and iho result of their deliberations is, that the best thing they can do for tho institution is to let it alone; and thus they indorsed things as llioy arc. True, they dropped ono professor whoso term of office had expired and they ap pointed a committee to report at the next meet ing on sonio changes iu tho course of study, but this last was done at the request of the Chan cellor. 3. Tho Convention. This body fresh from tho people, convened two days after Iho Board of Visitors to tho University had completed their labors, ami was iu session during the whole time that tho Board of Trustees wero together. The convention discussed tho University ques tion. Tho members had every opportunity to be thoroughly informed as to its condition and status. .Six of tho trustees were members of tho convention, to-wit: Jenkins, Lawton, Ham mond, Toombs, Seward and Screven. Tho ac tion of the convention is 8 ore favorable to the University than any that has been taken by any legislative body iu the Slate for many years. With tho threo indorsements aboved named, wo think that tho friend* of tho University and of tho present administration may well bo satis fied. We know of our own knowledge that tbo morale of tho students lias been steadily improv ing for several years, and that tho disclipino, while extremely mild is yet very efficient and thorough. Alter all that has been said, our dorsement is of littlo avail, s ill, as wo like ho iu good company, wo add our name to those of the Board of Visitors, the Board ol Trustees and the Convention.—Athens Watchman. $10,000 WORTH OF DRY GOODS.

George Cox was tho mail-carrier at tho timo, and was arrested by a post-offioo detective charged with embezzlement of the satno. IIo had a preliminary trial at Atlanta soon afterward aud was released on S500 bail. The filial trial A short time ago a man named Thompson, living on Morris creek, in the Sierra Nevada mountains, was engaged in making hay. Whilst at work he got an alMlrea seed iu ono of his lio applied to a physician, but ho was unable to Mud or remove the seed. About ten or twelve day* alter Mr. Thompson chanced to be picking at liis nMlicted member, when to his great surprise, he lelt some soft substance protruding from tho cavity ot the ear, aud pull- at it, was surprised to pull forth allilrea leaf. As soon as ho recovered irom his surprise Mr. Thompson procured a mirror aud made an examination, and observed protruding irom his ear the tiny leaves of an allilrea plant, The seed in his ear had sprouted aud was grow iug. IIo secured a pair of tweezers and tried to pu l tho plant out, but the lea young anil tender, and broke off, aud left Mr. Thompson in greater despair than ever, as he feels that he will be compelled to let tho plant make considerable growth baforo he can remove it. In tho meau while, however, ho fears that the roots may penetrate to his brain aud kill him.—Chicago Times. SNODKINS’ CHILD. Mentioning tho birth of a child at Miliers- burg, tho Carlisle Mercury says: “The event occurred on the seventh hour of the day, tho seventh day of tho week, tho seventh day iu the month, the seventh month iu tho year of seven ty-seven, and weighed seven pounds. Wo dely anybody to produto an eight that will beat it. Oh, you do, do you? Well, there’s that last baby of Suodkins, his eighth child, born at tho eighth hour of tho day, tho day before the eighth day of tho week, the eighth week of tho month—lacking four, the half of oight Tho other evening the Rev. Mr. Fhilacter sat down to tho lea tablo with a very thoughtful air aud attended to tho wants of his brood in a veiy abstracted manner. Presently ho looked up at his wile aud said: “The Apostle Pnul” “Got an awful bump on the head ’safternoon broke in tho pastor’s eldest son, "playing base ball. Bat Mew out of tho striker’s bauds when I was umpire, and cracked mo right above the ear, an’ dropped me. Hurt? Gully 1” and the lad shook his head in dismal l»ut expressive pan tomime as be rubbed a lump that looked like a billiard bull with hair on it. The past r gravely paused for the interruption, and resumed: "Tho Apostle Paul” “Saw Mrs. O’Ghemiuie down at Greenbaum’s this afternoon," said his eldest daughter, ad dressing her mother. "Sho had tho same old everlasting black silk, made over with a vest of tillud green silk, coat-tail basque pattern, over skirt mado with diagonal folds iu front, edged with deep fringe; yellow straw hat, with black velvet lacing inside tho brim, and pale blue Mowers. She’s going to Chicago.” Tho good minister waited patiently, and then in tones just a shade louder than boforo, said: "Tho Apostle Paul” “Went in swimmiu’ last night with Henry and Ben, pop, and stepped ou a clam shell,” exclaimed his youngest son; "cut my toot so I can’t wear my shoe; and, please, cau’t I stay at homo to-morrow?” The pastor informed his son that ho might stay away from tho river, and then resumed bis topic. Ho said: "Tho Apostle Paul says” “My teacher is an awful liar," shouted the second son; “ho says the world is as round ns an orange, aud it turns round all the time fast er than a circus man can ride. I guess nebaiu t got much sense.” Tho mother lifted a warning linger toward the boy and said, "Sh !” and tho father resumed: lie Apostle Paul says” on’t ! ite off twice as much as you can broke out the eldest son, reproving the It of his little brother on a piece of cako. The pastor’s lace showed just a trillo of auuoy- jiuco as lio said in very firm, decided tone: “The Apostle Paul says” "There’s a lly in tho butter!” shrieked the youugest hopeful ot the family, aud a general laugh followed. When silence was restored the eldest daughter, with an air oi curiosity, said: “Well, but, pa, I really would like to know what tho Apt stlo Paul said.” "Pass me tho mustard," said the pastor, ab- sently. Then tho committee rose and the Senato went into executive session aud soon after adjourned. Detroit Free .Press. Mas. Cady .Stanton is said to have remarked to some one who asked her if sho thought that iris possessed, as a general thing, the physical strength necessary lor the wear and tenr of a liege course of study: "I would like to sec you take thirteen hundred young men and lace them up, aud hang ten to twonty pounds’ weight of clothes on their waists, perch them up ou three inch heels, cover their heads with ripples, chignons, rats and mice, aud stick ten thousand hair-pins into their scalps—if they can stand all this they can stand a littlo Latin and Greek." The post-officers of New York city arc down on postal cards, and Postmaster James declare) they are nuisances, aud says that they decrease the sale of postage stamps at least $1,000 a day. Tho average daily sale of postal cards is 50,000 although 100,000 have been sold iu ono day. There was a gradual but steady increase iu their sale and a corresponding decrease iu that of pos tage stamps. Ho wished the cards would bo abolished. "Far bo it from ns to doubt tho word of a brother editor,” says the La Crosse Suu; “w believe them all to bo truthful men; but when the Durand Tithes says that the water is so low at: the mouth of tho Chippewa River that cat fish have to employ mud turtles to tow them over the bar, wo feel as though tho editor must be away, aud some local minister filling his place.” Tiie Rev. Phillips Brooks tolls the suggestive speech of a backswoodmau who heard Bishop Mead, ot Virginia, preach without manuscript, in a frontier church. "Ho is tho first of them fellers,” said the homely critic, "that I have • seen who could shoot without a rost.” LAGRANGE MALE HIGH SCHOOL.

I further suggest that Mr. Ham malco numerous extracts from tho works of Ba con aud Choate, and interlard his columns with bristling poems from the peu of Ettrick Shep herd, Hogg, aud that sty-lish Swin(e)buru.
