Scathing- Speech.
A gentleman informs the Charleston
News that the recent meeting of Stock
holders of the Nashville & Chattanooga
Railroad Company was very exciting, and
that our fellow citizen, Hon. John P. King,
“made a scathing speech, in which ho
denounced the old Directors, and asserted

Contrast of Colors.
The following is a good rule for finding
the contrast of any color: Cut out a circular
piece of the petal of any flower and put it
on white paper: look at it fixedly for a few
seconds with one eye, then look off the color
on to a piece of white phper, and you will
see a bright ring of another color ; that ring
or circle is the right complementary color or
contrast to the color in the petal.

A “Sor*sls.”
The ladies of some of the Eastern cities
have established a “Sorosis,” and many
members are being initiated into the mys.
teries of the order. The Sorors meet weekly
at different houses, drink tea, of course, and
talk, most assuredly so! They go home
happy in the consciousness that they are
enjoying the right to do just as men do. It
is said they are very independent, and wi!|
not let their husbands or sweethearts £ive
them protection home.
Bed Buga.
This is the Connecticut remedy for bed
bugs: Shake them all down into the middle
of the sheet and put a piece of ice among
them. Pretty soon you will see the little
fellows getting up on tjieir hind legs and
beginning to thrash themselves to keep
warm. After that you need not be afraid of
their biting, but may go to bed and sleep
secure from their attacks the rest of the
night.
-
Looping-Up Dresses.
The way of looping up dresses varies.
You can, for instance, form folds at the
sides and lifchind, if you have a short dress
ora tunic, or at the sides only, if intended
for a cassock open in front. On these plaits
yon fasten a knot of the same material as
the skirt, and you have what is called a
sarmago costume. Other dresses are looped
up below the waist, behind, by buttons and
small buckles; hut the dress which has to
be looped up that way must not be very
wide ; the front is flat, the dress becomes
gradually fuller at the sides, and concen
trates its whole volume at the back.
A bashful young man who was afraid to
propose .to his sweetheart, induced her to
fire at him with a pistol, which, he assured
her, was loaded only with powder, and
after she hud done so, fell down and pre
tended to be dead. She threw herself
wildly upon his body, calling him her
uarhng and her beloved, whereupon he got I
U P and married her.

Mr. Campbell, iutvipg the fluor, rose and
moved to lay the question of reconsideration
in the Bradley case on the table without
further debate, which was agreed to, and so

city of Milledgeville.

be referred to a select committee.
Mr. Griffin, of the 21st, hoped bis people
in his section would hove a hearing. The
gentleman last on the floor wished the Capital
here because it was nearer to him, and his
people wanted it to remain there, lienee he
spoke in behalf of the constituency he rep
resents, besides a largo portion of the people
of Southwestern Georgia desired the Capital
to be at Milledgeville. He hoped, therefore,
that the memorial would be referred to a

Republican Convention.
Atlanta, August 18.-—There was a
grand Republican mass meeting in this city
to-day, in honor of the nomination of Grant
and Colfax.
The procession was formed at the post
office building, consisting of about seven
hundred negroes Bud three white men.
Near the bead of the procession was an
express wagop, canopied with the United
States flag, and ornamented with flags aud
the names of Grant and Colfax. The wagon
contained thirty-seven white girls, represent
ing the several States, each dressed in white,
and waving miniature flage.
The procession marched through the prin
cipal streets, with music and banners, to the
City Hall SquftFr-,' and were addressed by
cx-Governor Joseph E Browu, James John
son, JoshuA Hill, and others-
Johnson spoke of the rule of the Repub
lican party for the past few years, and of
the magnitude of tho work it had performed.
He said the debt was created by the
vanquished party, whose object was to
perpetuate slavery and make it universal,
and the conquered should be made to pay
the debt. lie characterized the war as
unmitigated and wrong ; but let those who
inaugurated the war pay all the penalties:
Southern people were hostile to the United
States Government; be would rejoice to
livo to see the day when not a slave
remained in the United States; a poor
white man who complained of the abolition
of slavery should have thirty-nine lashes on
his bare back. He defended the Govern
ment in giving the black man the ballot;
it was to secure them in their freedom ;
the negro was ignorant and poor, and this
was tho reason why they should be allowed
to vole that they may be enabled to protect
themselves. He then referred them, also,
to the intention of the Democratic
party to make this a white man’s
Government. He said the choice was given
the Southern States iu the Fourteenth
Article to count the negro, aud have him
represented iu the general government, or
not. The Democratic public speakers were
responsible foY the riot*, so frequent in the
the country, and warned the people, if this
was continued, they had not seen deep in
the bucket. Tho Democrats proposed to
underwork the executive and army—this
meant war. To the blacks, he said : God
has given you freedom ; you cannot unaided
support yourself. Three months you owe to
your deliverers—stand by the Republican
party—wheu you go home, go through the
country, talk to your friends, urge them to
be true to their party, and come to the polls
unaided by threats,
Joshua Hill followed, and endorsed all
said by the Ex-Governor, lie spoke of the
good behavior of the masses, administered a
report from President Johnson, threatening
war over the of General Blair,
eulogized Grant as no usurping tyrant, but
as modest as a woman, distinguished
among his soldiers for administrative ability,
spoke of Gotfax in the same strain, and
spoke of Seymour, although he had no
personal acquaintance, as he had with the
distinguished soldier asserted on the Demo
cratic ticket.
Chief Justice Joe Brown followed. He
had not taken the oath of office, nor re
oeived his commission, hence there was
no impropriety in appearing on this occa
sion. He made reference to the re-opening
of hostilities if Grant and Colfax was elec
ted. There was no danger of tho prestige of
Grant.his determination and his will all pre
cluded such event. He read from Seymour
and Blair’s letters and speeches to show that
war would ensure the carrying out of their
views- He said the negro would not sur
render the right of suffrage without blood
shed. He did not the negroes
would inaugurate bloodshed, but might be
goaded into it by whites. (Loud Cheers.)
Other speakers then followed.
A. Alpeoria Bradley, expelled Senator, got
up a side show during Brown’s speech and
drew off a large crowd.
One negro speaker said he had no con
fluence in white men who say they are with
us. He was for the negroes, and believed
the white folks were for themselves. The
whites who pretend to be for us will desert
us in times of trouble. He advised the
negroes to stand by and for themselves.
The. crowd dispersed at 4 o’clock.
