Who burned Chicago ?
‘1/’ laid Leary'~ cow,
“Listen, 1*11 tell 70a how,
1 kicked over the lamp and burned up Chicago."
IS- Forepaagh'a circus is s good one,
bat old John Koblnson wields the (ore
paw in the circus business of this nation.
*0. The Uempbis Appeal is of the
opinion that *‘tlie press has superceded
stump oratory." Correct
A. The people of Portland say Grant
is not muoh on a speech, but he can
shake hands like anything.
Ht~ The Tribune thinks Chicago
ought, hereafter, to be a very poor mar
ket for shingles.
It is announced that Alaska has a
superior quality of coal. It is generally
understood that that acquisition is cold.
IW- The Boston Post says “Grant 1
Indian polioy is specially favorable to the
Seneca tribe.” O-jibe-away.
■A. Maggie Mitchell is still dotained
at XiongBranch. It is a boy, with which
she is playing—not a cricket
BQk. The Catholio Churches, of Bos
ton, last Sunday, contributed $15,551 to
Chicago.
IW The health of Queen Victoria, it
is said, is improving, and Bhe expects
soon to return to public life. No doubt
the news falls solemn on the British heir.
The Courier-Journal Bays: “A
Southern paper lias it, ‘fools are born,
not made.”’ Possibly the C.-J. man
knows how it is himself.
Grant went to Boston to lay the
corner stone of the new post office, and
then went to Portland to lay himself lia
ble to be called the national ass.
AW The Western and Atlantic Bail-
road used to be regarded as the most
valuable property owned by the State,
and now it is the leased valuable.
IA. The Nashvile Banner says there
was only one drunk man in that city last
Sunday, and he hailed from Louisville.
Having "departed” from the "Bour
bon,” he fell by the wayside.
aW The Boohester Union says: “Ten
years ago Grant was a bankrupt." The
Union might have added that in replen
ishing his purse, he became bankrupt in
everything else.
■S- The Boston Post is fully con
vinced that “the President's Portland
speech was the most brilliant one of the
very remarkable series he has been mak
ing.” No doubt of it in tho world.
ISu “Bochefort will write what he
knows about Napoleon HI.” If Napo
leon HI would write wbat he knows
about Napoleon in, it would be interest
ing reading.
JW The Courier-Journal accuses Chi
cago of being very proud of having been
burned. If this is true of Chicago, she
disproves the Proverb which says “pride
goeth before destruction," as in her case
it comes after.
KO. Dreadful news comes from Cl.'oa-
go. It is in offect that the woman who
owned the cow says “her cow never kicked
over a kerosene lamp; that she had
lamp, and that she was not in tho stable
—being asleep in bed at the time." Tho
report is evidently untrue. The woman
is only trying to cover her ou a careless
ness. The cow did it. That is, tho cow
kicked over tho kerosene, and that did
the burning. The world believes the
story now, and it would be a downright
pity ,to have it spoiled. Let the cow
alone. Let her low her way down to his
tory, coupled with the praises of the non
explosive.
GEORGIA MATTERS.
Savannah mortality hist week—7 whito,
13 colored.
A Talbotton bailiff met with opposition
in serving some executions, and, accord
ing to the American, he says: "If ho goes
out there to make a lawful level, and they
mouses to incept, if he don’t moke a sacra
merit of them he’ll bo darned.
The lightning Kukluxed a negro and
pair'of line mules near Macon Tuesday
evening. A house in Macon was struct
the same evening, and six colored in
mates shocked.
Vincent Beese. McDuffie county.—
Crib containing 800 bushels of corn. In
cendiary unknown.
Six young ladies have entered for the
cooking match at tho Columbus Fair.
The Augusta Constitutionalist wilt issue
an evening edition in that city during
Fair week.
Tho parade and inspection of the Au
;usta Fair Department, will take place
o-morrow.
The Athens Watchman speaks
'Jonas Cochran, a free negro." Aren'
they all free down that way.
Spoaking of the Synod of Georgia,
the Athens Watchman says: “This eccle
siastical body convened at tho Presbyte
rian church in this place on Wednesday
last. The introductory sermon was
preached by llev. Dr. Wilson, of Atlan
ta. Bev. A. W. Clisby was elected Mod
erator, and Bev. Messrs. Stacy and
Kotchum Clerks. Tho attendance was
not full. The body adjourned on Mon
day.
NASHVILLE.
Gov. Bullock as a Sleeping Companion—
II* Goes to New York-Ttnncm-c Leg*
filature—Gen# Breckcnridge, «Stc.
SSK. The Knoxville Chronicle has
long article under the head of “A Merce
nary Press.” Without haviog read the
article, it is reasonable to suppose the
Chronicle is only writing the history of
the Badical press of Tennessee.
■A. The New York Sun, a thorough
bred Badical paper, propounds this co
nundrum; “Tho Ku-Klux law leaves
certain matters entirely to tho judgment
of the President The President having
no judgment, is not the law invalid? ’
Some of the papers ara objecting
to the course of Mrs. Spencer, the Wash
ington social reformer, in fitting the re
claimed “doves” for the lecture stage.
Why? Certainly, they are as fit for it os
many of their sex who are already on it
yp- xhc Cincinnati Times anil Chroni
cle insists upon the correctness of the old
truism, that “ virtue is always its own
reward.” The C. and T., however, is
entirely destitute of any “reward” of
that kind.
!&• Mr. Darwin is said to bo engaged
in a work in which the facial expression
of animals will bo the chief topic of dis
cussion. It is n pity that Mr. Darwin
baa not a gloss in which he could study
his own “facial expression,” and sco
himself ass others see him.
■gL “President Grant declines attend
ing the reunion of the Society of the
Anny of the Cumberland, at Detroit, on
the 15th and 16th of November.” He
was so much exhausted by bis recent
Portland orqtion that be don’t think he
will recover in time to go to Michigan.
OO- The Paducah Kentuckian denomi
nates it* military role in South Carolina
“a reign of terror.” The question,how
ever, is, do not the people of South Car
olina prefer this “reign” to the rain of
carpet-baggers which has been coming
down upon them ever since the war ?
The LaFsyette (Indiana) Journal
says: “The President has returned to
Washington city. Now we hope the
Democratic pres* will rest easy.” Doubt
less the Journal means that it hopes the
Democratic press will let Grant “real
easy." But it won’t The Portland
speech is still sounding.
nq. The New York Telegram sayK—
“The Star made Mrs. Baudmann play
Desdemona to Mr. Bandmann's Sbylock.
Shades of Shakespeare, what snperlativo
ignorance.” Where ia the "igno
rance” of it, since many a husband
has played Sbylock while their wives
wept tike Deademonas, and yet oould not
get the money ?
At 10 o clock Monday night, Jimmie
Cook, of sleeping cur notoriety, took
charge of your humble servant, and
stowed him away in a capacious and
clean berth. Everything promised well
for a good night’s rest, until I saw Hi
Excellency, B. B. “skinning” liimseh
and quietly coiling up in the opposite
berth. Then my fears began to get the
better of me, because, in the first place,
I am not used to sleeping so ciosa to
royalty, and then I didn’t know how a
live Governor behaved himself during
his slumbers. Then visions of Kuklux—
tbe nasty things might overshoot
the mark and kill an honest
boy. These, and kindred fan
cies flitted before my mind’s oye
until the commingled wheezes of the en
gine and the loud and deep respiration
of B. B. produced a somnambulic stupor,
and when my eyes again opened, tbe
Governor was half-way in his unmen
tionables, sitting on tbe side of bis berth,
tugging nt his boot and looking as “child
like and bland”as it wns possible forl- ; ui
do.
Arriving at Stephenson, wo nil got out
the mud ..lid went to breakfast. No
ono knew who tbe Governor was. Ho
was «'» cog, wearing an old slouch cap,
greasy gray coat, and ridi jg in tho smok
ing car. He was accompanied by bis
uncle Brown—all, yes, Brown wns there
—his privnto clerk, and one or two
others. I learn that he is on his
way to New York. He passed
through this city—without stopping. I
was also informed that he world return
in about a week.
I wonder what he is making this
“heavy run” at this time for ? Going to
New York and bock in such hot haste
just before tbe meoting of tho Legisla
ture ? Can it be that bis message is al
ready prepared ? Is he making tho trip
for fun, or pleasure, or profit, or bos he
some big scheme on foot ? Impposcwo
shall soon know.
Nashville is dull—unusually so. Money
is very tight, and, of course, trade suffers.
The Legislature is in session, and work
ing well. Tho amount of business to he
transacted in tho allotcd timo is immense.
Gov. Brown read his messago to that
body yesterday. It comes straight to
the point, and sounds like business. The
Legislature is largely Domocrutic—only
nbout flftcon Badicals—all told.
Gen. Breckinridge is here, and to-day
somo of his friends tendered him a din
ner. Tho old hero looks splendidly,
and is hopeful of tho future. lie
made no speech, but simply
had a quiet chat with his friends. He is
a splendid specimen of the true South
ern gentleman.
The weather, to-night, is June-like,
very unseasonable.
Tho Grey Theatrical Troupe is here,
“doing” the “Black Crook.” It may
prove a success, but the chances, at pres
ent, are against such a termination.
Nashville is jolly over the success of
tho horse “Tennessee," in the recent
races in your city. Atlanta.
pi, with portions Of Alabama, already
have appreciated this, pud from this pr nt
ora principally drawn their supplies.
Why should not Georgia follow the e
ample of her sisters ? Many of this peo
plo are, nud have been, in sympathy with
yarn's—their hearts were enlisted with
tho South in her great struggle, and they
stand ready to otter all tho inducements
that can possibly be demanded, and that
too, more readily tl an those from any
other city from wlienoclyou are obtaining
such supplier as you have to purchrae
from a distant market—both from the
fact that this is the most abundant coun
try, and that oar merchants are more
able to grant snch indulgences as the
condition of tho South demands.
OUB FAIR.
Tho great event of tho year, and the
grandest exhibition of tbe kind in the
world, is just over. And to say that ii
was a success, is but to report the unaui
mous opinion of one hundred thousand
visitors. It lsated for one week, and each
day its grounds and halls, and its grand
amphitheatre, was crowded to thoir ut
most capacity.
The display of stock and machinery,
to say nothing of tho exquisite work per
formed by fingers; the delicacies of the
housewife; in fact, everything clso that
was on exhibition, would havo am] ‘
compensated the plantor of the South
tho trouble and expense of a visit. This
exhibition, presided over os it is by a
gentleman, young, accomplished and en
ergetic, ArthurB. Barrett, Esq., is dos
fined to becomo ono of international im
portance, and cannot fail to bo instru
mental in affecting great good.
MEHTINO OF LEGISLATURE.
Tho timo is nigh at hand for tho meet
ing of the Georgia Legislature. I am
now a Missourian, but can never cease to
feel a deep interest in tho affairs of my
nativo State. Yes, dear old Georgia!
An empire framed for tho virtue of her
women and tho chivalry of her men; I
would exult iu her prosperity, os I have
humbly shared, and sincerely mourned
over her desolation. I hope wise coun
sets may prevail in the coming session,
and that an era of prosperity muy again
bo inaugurated.
JOSEPH D. CLUiUNO, ESq.,
is, I learn, among tbe names suggested
for Speaker of tho House. I would like
to urge his eminent fitn s. I have known
Major Gumming from boyhood, and of
him I cun speak from u Jong acquaint
ance. Ilia intrinsic worth entitles his
claims to peculiar consideration. A man
of decided talent, cultivated to the fullest
extent, possessed of a mind clear and
well-balanced; of great common sense,
good judgment, courteous and urbane;
accomplished in tho forum and gallant
on the field—in a word, with rare capaci
ty to discern the right and firmness to
maintain it, I know of none so well fitted
to preside over a deliberative assembly.
Let me, however, urge your people to
organize for tbe coming contest of ’72.—
It is the most important that ever en
gaged the attention of the American peo
ple. Let eve y man, thcD, goto work
and do his waole duty.

advantages that nature, with prolifio

the war, the misrule to which she was

and tbe gigr-itic strides with wl ch she
