In a oity not a thotttand miles from Sa vapnah. it is told that a conntry gentlo ntau sent to hts ••friend*’ certs in goods. The merchant reoelted tbo articles, sold them as requested, being “in a tight," used tho money for his own purposes, then broke, whereupon be wrote thu*ly to his afflicted oountrymah; “Dear Friend—l acknowledge I spont your money. I feel that God has forgiven tho sin, and 1 trust that you will, as I’vo taken the benefit of tho Bankrupt Act. Affectionately, your friend." What aotion has been taken is not yet told. Evil Speaking. That you may not speak ill of any, do not delight to hear ill of them. Give no countenanoo to busy-bodies, who are run ning from house to house, and love to talk of other men’s faults. Thoso who delight to hear ill of others will soon fall iuto tbo habit of speaking ill of them. When busy bodies run out of matter of fact, they will soon resort to conjectures and idle stories to please thoso who are fond of hearing others spoken against. Such characters are common nuisances, often destroy good neighborhoods and tho fellowship of old friends. If we endeavor in good earnest to mind ourselves, we shall find work enough, and but little time to talk of others. “ Co-operation.” This word, cooperation, as applied to the clubs forming in various parts of this country, as well as in England, means concerted trading —a scheme in which the resulting profits are proportionally divided for individual uses. Cooperation is simply the application of small or large accumu lations to the purchase and distribution of stores or to tlic production of the same, the great difference between it and other joint stock machinery for the same purposes being that all who help to make the profits shall proportionally share in them. This should be applied in genuine cooperation alike to shareholder, customer, and work man. Wo have read a lengthy but interesting article in the New York Sun, describing the principle which is known in London as ‘‘Floating Cooperation,” and by means of which the advantages of the system have been made apparent to a social class who have hitherto looked on all such efforts with suspicion. "Floating Cooperation" presupposes a number of persons in an average social position, able to pay at for ail they obtain, and generally using fair average qualities of goods. It is simply making an arrangement with ordinary retail and wholesale dealers to sell for cash at reduced rates, to the persons who may belong to the association which puts the scheme into operation. A small number of individuals made up together the price of half a chest (about 50 lbs.), and the purchase was accordingly made, each individual receiving the share of tea which he has paid for. It was found that by this proceeding the price was re duced by about one shilling per lb. An other half chest, and afterwards several whole chests, were obtained on the same plan, and the number of purchasers in creased rapidly. Other articles were also purchased. In the course of a month or two a little society was formed, and after much anxious deliberation as to whether the expense could be met, a small store room was engaged. In order that such might be obtained as could not be con veniently kept at the store, an arrange ment was made with a few wholesale houses by which the members got goods (of course for ready money) at greatly re duced prices, subject to the condition that they should frequent the warehouses only on stated days and during stated hours. From the idea of buying from certain wholesale houses grew the idea of “floating cooperation." Under the management which was adopted, the “Civil Service Supply Association” was formed. The leading members of tbe Society go to cer tain tradesmen and say: “We arc 1,000 strong ; provided we come in considerable numbers to your shop, and make purchases with ready money, will you treat us as wholesale customers ?” Tradesmen who agree to do so are set down in a printed list, which is supplied to each member of the Supply Association, and he, as lie has occasion, calls and makes his purchases of such dealers. In this way each member effects a saving of 25 per cent., and in some cases of thirty. He thus becomes a mem ber of a peripatetic cooperative society, whose stores arc situated all over the town. Tho money thus saved in purchases is not saved as in a cooperative society of the fixed kind, by allowing the profits to accu mulate for future advantage; but the habit of paying ready money and avoiding credit is confirmed. It is wortli noticing in connection with these organizations that the itlca of “ float ing cofiperation" is extended beyond that of obtaining goods. Physicians, lawyers architects, stock brokers and life assurance companies have entered into arrangements with them, furnishing their services at much lower rates than those for which they are usually obtained. There is no reason against its indefinite extension to all business. The special value of the fonn of association and the application of the principle is two-fold : 1. It has caused the well-to-do classes in England to regard the principle of coop eration as of essential value, and as appli cable both to themselves and to their poorer fellow-citizens. 2. It has shown how to apply associative effort to the present system of trade. There is no need of special argument in favor of the fitness of the form of coop eration to American life; its applicability can be seen at once. — . ■’ I Advertisement.] Notice Persons desirous of being relieved of political disabilities, can have their names presented to tho Committee by addressing me, at Atlanta, Qa.

It is very becoming over a low dress on snowy white shoulders. * Specie Payment*. Mr. Garfield has introduced a plan fur resumption, in the House of Representa tives, which proposes that after December I, 1808, the Treasury shall exchange gold for legal-tender notes at the rato of one dollar in gold for one dollar and thirty cents in currency, and on tho Ist January fol lowing shall exehango tho gold dollar for ono dollar and twenty-nine cents in cur rency, and so on, reducing the premium one cent each month until the exehango is at par, which will he Ist June, 1871. A Powerful Fertilizer. Every farmer has soot at command, whose presence in stove pipes or chimneys is not unfrequcntly the cause of fires, occa sioning the loss sometimes of both prop erty and life. This agent for evil is one of the most valuable manures, and nothing but the most culpable carelessness and in difference will suffer it to remain a menace to life and property, when it can be easily removed and turned to good account in the field or garden. Twelve quarts of soot in a hogshead of water will make a powerful liquid manure, which will improve the growth of flowers, garden, vegetables, or root crops. In either, a liquid or solid state, it makes an excellent top-dressing for grass or cereal crops. [Advertisement.] CougU and Bronchitis, A young man, twenty-two years of age, had a cough and hoarseness for fifteen months. During cold weather his voice was lost so as only to speak in whispers, pain induced on coughing, cough dry, or raising only a trifle in the morning, quite feeble and emaciated. Had taken several medi cines, with but littlo or no benefit. He commenced with Humphrey’s Cough Pills, no 7—one pill three times a day, and soon found himself improving—his cough milder and softer, hoarseness passed off, strength and appetite improved, and in a lew weeks was entirely well, having taken no other medicine. feb2l ts [Advertisement.] Professor Roberts, The Great 31 ug lielixer, Will heal tho sick by Animal Magnet ism, at Augusta Hotel, from February 17th to March 17th, 1868.
