That “Thought.”
• We think our correspondent, “B. F. S.”
is rather hypercritical (not hypocritical,) in
his comments in our paper, week before
1 «st, on what we said some time ago in
giving an account of an accident which be
frl a family near our residence, a few days
Ix-fore last Christmas. Our correspondent
thinks that it would have been better to
have given the six little barefooted children
a pair of shoes a-picce than to have invoked
Heaven’s blessings upon them. That is
certainly true, but then we did not happen
to have the shoes, and as it was some dis
tance to a store, the party would probably
not have remained in the road until we
could have procured them, even it they had
desired our charity. We will state that we
saw the family warmed by a large fire made
'of brush. They would have been fed if they
had accepted our pressing invitation to go
to a home, near by, where lived a charitable
lady. But after all, would it not have been
well if our friend had furnished the little
children shoes before they started from his
neighbohood? We think so. It is true
that “prayers are cheaper than shoes,” and
so also is advice given in poetry taken from
a bymnbook.
Cox and Blanc.
During Mr. Cox’s speech on Amnesty,
Mr. Blaine said, “I observe that the gentle
man, following the example of Mr. Dog-
• berry, puts hb colleague first” (Laughter)
5 Mr. Cox. “I will give you enough of the
dog before I get through.” (Renewed laugh
ter.) Now I want to give the gentleman a
little more of this. If he would not under
take to interrupt me quite so often, he would
feel a good deal better, lie is somewhat
like the little boy down at Memphis, who
undertook to take a twist with a mule’s tail;
his lather said to him afterwards: “You
don’t look so pretty as you did my boy, but
you have learned something.” (Great laugh-
* t<r.) , .. v *
Sir. Blaine. Docs the gentleman from
New York represent the mule in that illus
tration ? (Renewed laughter)
Mr. Cox. Now Mr. Speaker, I did not
hear the last remark of the gentleman from
Maine, but I suppose it was one of the soft
and yielding speeches he is capable of ma
king. (Laughter.)
Mr. Blaine. Docs the gentleman want
mr to repeat it ? (Laugtcr )
Mr. Cox. O no! I have the floor
(Laughter.)

Hew Soils are Formed.
In the “Farmtr’s Practical Hand Book of
Agricultural Chemistry,” by W. W. Mem- j
infer, M. D. we find the following remark
able statement:
“Soils are the result of the disintegration
of rocks, nnd are therefore, as variable in
chemi, ul composition as arc the rocks from
which they are derived. The way in which 1
the disintegration is accomplished is this : '
rook, homer er compact, is impervious to
wattr. Water as rain, therefore, holding in 1
solution carbonic acid and oxygen, coming
?: in contact with a rock penetrates it and
yielding up these gasses to the elements for
which they have an affinity, renders them
soluble in the water; thus the rock breaks
up from having some of its particles contin
ually removed, so that if we should sup
)»wc a block of granite to be exposed to '
these conditions for an indefinite time, we
would have it at flrat solid, then gradually j
«I fain tagrated, next the mica and feldspar,'
pulv« nilent and fine, while the quartz re
mains massive, and lastly, all in solution
• ft but the Hay and sand.” We do not pro
‘ p<»sc to- enter into a lengthy argument to, |
prove the fallacy of this theory, but wish .
simply to say, that it is contrary to com- I
mon sense, and that we don't believe it.
“Disintegration of rocks, by the penetration
of water,’’ fndvud! Why if this were true j
alate would not do for roofing, and the man
was a luol who built hir house upon a
rock!
The Remedy for Hard Tinies.
The complaint about hard limes has be
ernme chronia, universal, and various are the

common necessaries ol life, anti he who

supplied with something to eat and wear,
and to usd in a thousand ways) and those
who Ivuatsh the supplies are the world’s
irue benefactors, and the only persons who
are well-to-do. “In the sweat of thy face
shalt thou eatbread,’’ and money and every
thing that you ueed can be had in exchange
for sweat. But if you are too proud or too
lazy to work, you can spend your worthless
life in fruitless complaints, and the sooner

“Cousin John Thrasher” was in town
last week.
Sunset Cox is pretty good on Scripture
quotations.
“By apostolic blows and knocks.
He proves his doctrine orthodox.”
If each State in the Union is to be repre
sented by a young lady at the grand con ten
ial, would it not be appropriate to select a
black one for South Carolina ?
Blaine, of Maine, may be Preidcnt, but
it is certain that he is at the foot of the Hill
now.
The circulation of The Georgian is in
creasing at about the rate of oue hundred
per month.
The radical candidate for Governor of
Indiana is named Godlove Orth! We see
no use for such a name, only to rhyme with
North.
Some think that the late speaker of the
house of represent it ivea will be a Hardman
to beat for Governor.
When President Grant said, “let no guil
ty man escape,” we suppose that he wished
his party all to remain to make him presi
dent for the third time.
Wendell Phillips nominates'Grant for
President, and Fred Douglas for Vice Pres
ident. An exchange thinks the old crazy
cuss must be in earneast, as he has put it
in black and white.
The committee appointed by the Legis
lature to investigate the charge of fraud
in procuring the lease of the State road,
failed to obtain evidence sufficient to sus
tain the charge.
There were several hard freezes and
white frosts last week, which have cuased
peach, plum, and other blooms to present
a sickly appearance. M c presume there
will be no fruit this year.
Horse swappers were busy during sale
day. A good many horses were found
to be old last spring.” A few
mules were a little older.

Our Centetcnial feelings vanish away;
when we think ot the reconstruction of the
Southern States, especially of South Caroli-
1 na. It would be mockery for the descen
dants of the patriot.sof 1776, who fought for
( independence in that Slate, to join in a
great national jubilee under thecircumstan
ces. We can’t n-joicc while the land of our
fathers Is under the dominion of ignorant

Go ahead my friend’’: gel out your precious
metals; the country stands hi need of them
now, if ever. While we arc speaking of
metals, our ftiend, Sim. Hdlhouse, showed
us a streak of gold in the bottom of an old .
