The Cherokee Georgian P. H. BREWSTER?) - J. J. A. SHARP, y Editors. ; J. O. DOWDA, ) OcLXLtOXI, Grot-,. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1876. 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.) , ./ i . r- ♦ < 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 - rrmcdh* sought and proposed forreficf, but wc think there is but One that is sure and , s»fc, and that is hard work and economy in ! equal pnqmrtions. There fa no out-side In Ip. Neither Congress nor State legisla ture can vote money Into any man’s pocket honestly. If we have nny'hing we must mahr H, and “no one lives so far from mar k t ashe aim has nothing to sell." There w Hwaya a demand, at some price, for the common necessaries ol life, anti he who produces them can live I y his labor, and wake sme and steady gains by persevering i Hurt LxxA at the man who makes Ids own provisions, who practices economy in his expenditures, who keeps out of debt, mid you Will are a man who has no cause to complain of bard times. Like the man who ■* Plows deep while slugg-irds sleeps. He has corn both to sell and keep,” mid money too to hud 'u th-’se who croak about the hard limes and do nothing Go to work then tn produce something, <>, ye J ♦aoakvra, ye lauh-finders, ye Io ifcns. ye ch-ad Im ads and dend-bt ata, yc musk-sceuted aad ki l glovcd itandi'-s, ye |wtty office-s»t kers. yc dreamers of windfalls, yv tool feh bin hi -118 of air-ca>tha, yc hmgrrs about the airceta, and cross-road doggeries, nnd times mill soou bi hotter, you will kx-l tatt«r, y»Hir no-erablc digestion will tata-t’er. your tfaep will be refreshing, and y«m won’t have time to coaip’nhi about hard times an I the XuHuifa il I . aijk Let', h for every body to do. The world must be 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 yon get out of your troubles, the better it will be for you and all concerned. “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. Acknowledgement.—The Hon. W. R. Felton will please accept our thanks for va rious favors, in the way of public docu ments. The last received, is the speech of the Hon. S. S. Cox, of New York, on Am nesty.

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.
