A bill has been introduced in the
legislature of North Carolina to make
null and void and to prohibit all con
tracts for the purchase and sale of “cot
ton futures” in the State.
The Post says: “Thirteen soldiers
guard the grave of President Garfield,
at an expense of $2Bl per month. Thus
far the guard Isas bseu paid $4,496.
It would seem as if some 10 or 12 men
could be spared from that guard.
The new court house at Atlanta will
be ornamented with an illuminated
clock to cost about $3,000. The court
house is very nearly completed and the
April term of the court will be held in
the new building.
A lawyer in Auburn, N. Y., has a
mania for collecting ten-cent pieces,
and for the past three years has not
spent one. The consequence of re
taining all specie of this denomination
has been the accumulation of between
six and seven thoasand pieces, and he
will soon begin to measure his wealth
by tlio bushel.
It is reported that Messrs. Carlisle
and Blackburn have agreed to leave it
to a vote of the Kentucky delegation
to the next Congress to decide which
of them shall be a candidate for the
Speakership of the next House of Rep
resentatives. They are both Kentucky
members, and this would be a happy
way of putting an end to their railry.
Mr Christopher, of the Sunday Pho
nograph, wishes the new journalistic
enterprises of Atlanta gieat success,
but he reminds them that it cost him
five hundred dollars a.month over and
above current receipts to run a small
morning paper in Atlanta last year.
He tried this plan for three months and
then gave it up.
The following striking piece of good
advice is given to all who are seeking
that treasure. “Let whiskey and to
bacco alone—everybody, we mean, but
more especially members of Congress.
Take the tax off matches; they are not
a luxury but a necessity, and are used
by everybody. Give us free sugar and
salt, and a chance to buy our clothing
at about half what it now costs, and
we can worry along without any reduc
tion in the price of drinks.”
A Mr. Boze Adair, of Atlanta, has
notified the Ordinaries ot the State not
to issue a marriage license for his ward,
T. A. Alexander, a youth of fifteen
years of age, who, it seems, contem
plates a marital connection against the
wishes of his guardian. The law, how
ever, which forbids the issuance of
marriage licenses for minors under
eighteen years of age without the con
sent of their parents or guardians, only
refers to females.
Death or destruction has overtaken
most of the men who bore prominent
parts in the great crime of 1876. The
latest victim is the man who officially
promulgated the greatest lie in mod
ern history—the “election” of Hayes
and Wheeler. We can think of no
more profitable moral lesson for young
men than a contemplation of that
crime and the fate of its authors. “Be
sure thy sin will find thee out” is a
warning written in the good book, and
it is not safe for any man to condemn
that injunction.

An observing exchange reporter
truthfully remarks that the shame of
the period is the brutality with which
wives are beaten by husbands. Our
exchanges team with accounts of wife
beating, and wife murder, wife starving
and wife desertion, wife neglecting and
wife betraying. Never perhaps in the
history the country has there been
such a fiendish treatment of wives by
those who plighted their vows to pro
tect and cheiish them as is now perpe
trated.
Grant, when he was President, had
a cool way of “bouncing” the mem
bers of his Cabinet when he wanted to
get rid of them, as the following inci
dent shows as was related by Mr. Jew
ell himself: “By the way, Jewell, I
want your resignation," said Presi
dent Gract to the Postmaster General
at the close of an official conference.
“Do you mean that, Mr. President?”
said the somewhat astonished P. M.
G. “X do,” was the laconic response of
the "Great Silent Man,” ae he blew a
clould of smoke heavenward.
tight,” replied Mr. Jewell, and in lesa
than half an hour his resignation was
in the hands of the President.
A Sad Case.
From the Rome Bulletin we have
the following sad and pitiful account
of a recent attempt at suicide in that
place: “ VVednesday night one of the
women known as the ‘Red Light Girls’
was arrested for being drunk and dis
orderly and lodged in one of the new
cells at the City Hall building. It
fortunately, for the girl’s life happened
that Police Brown at half past ten that
night passed around the cells, and in
looking into them discovered a woman
hanging and apparently dead. The
key was promptly procured and the
woman cut down, and her body fell to
the floor to all appearance lifeless. It
seems she, after sobering up a little,
discovered her condition and where she
was and concluded to end her miserable
life by suicide. She took one of her
stockings, a very fine one, and a pink
silk garter, and with these made a
strong cord, and after fastening one end
to the ceiling of the cell and the other
formed into a noose around her neck,
all was ready to start on the long jour-
ney. She then threw her weight on
the cord, and was in a fair way to take
her own life. She certainly would
have been dead before Policeman Blown
discovered her if she had not had the
weight all on the back of her neck, and
as it was she escaped a suicide’s fate
by the narrowest chance. A few years
ago some foul wretch, called man, pos
-sibly under the pretension of marriage,
seduced this, then pure and innocent
girl from virtue’s sacred walks, and,
demon that he was, and hell-deserving
as he is, abandoned her, and she, home
less, friendless, shameless and alone,
sells her soul to keep her body alive,
and at last, remorse and a quickened
conscience prompts her to hasten the
end. In pity let us draw the curtain
over her sin—‘more sinned against
than sinning.’ ”
it seems that General Fitzhngli Lee
on occasion of his recent review of the
Thirteenth New York regiment at
Brooklyn, did not use the language at
tributed to him by an Associated
Press dispatch to the effect that at Ap
pomattox “he became convinced seces
sion was not right.” It is, therefore,
but just to General Lee that this wide
disseminated misrepresentation should
be set light. What lie did say in his
speech to the men of the Thirteenth
was this; as correctly reported in the
New York Herald of February 8.
“Referring to old times he said that
when the war broke out he was at the
Military Academy. He had been
reared in & different faith from his
Northern associates in the army, and
he had thought that the State of Vir
ginia had the first right of his services
and his sword. But when the sun
of the Confederacy had gone down be
hind the hills of the Appomattox ha
had realized that the war was over.
He was now a citizen of the United
States, equally interested with every
other citizen in its glory and greatness
and as loyal a citizen as any.
“Prolonged cheering greeted the Gen
eral’s remarks.”

Peter Cooper celebrated his ninety
third birthday on Monday, entertaining
his friends in the latter part of the day
after attending the funeral of his per
sonal friend, William E. Dodge, in the
morning. He appeared in the best of
spirits, having a kind word for all, and
referring to matters with an intelligence
and interest of a person in the prime of
life. He never used liquor or tobacco
in any form, and is of even temper.
Abraham Lincoln and Peter Cooper
were born on the same day of the year,
and, were Lincoln living, he could have
celebrated his seventy-fourth birthday.
The venerable philanthropist, however,
is hale and hearty, after turning the
ninety-third mile stono.
. An astronomer of local repute in
forms the public that the sun is in a
state of perturbation, to which cause
ate attributed some of the recent extra
ordinary developments. An exchange
in referring to the subject states that
those mysterious spots upon its surface
wbicli are in a constant state of flux
and reflux are exceptionally large and
lively, and indicate disturbances of an
extensive character. Perhaps there is
some connection between this circum
stance and the state of the weather of
late, and especially with the destruc
tive floods which have takn place on
both sides of the Atlantic.
The text of Mr. Logan’s remarks in
the Senate on a recent occasion would
seem to imply that the President had
undertaken to dictate to the Senator
how he must vote. Mr. Logan said:
“I recognize no chief, no man to dic
tate to me how I shall vote, what prin
ciples I shall advocate or how I shall
advocate them. I respect the Chief
Magistrate; he may entertain his opin
ion, but he must allow me to entertain
mine.” We suppose this is a case of
careless use of words, and that the Sen
ator really did not mean to warn the
President against any invasion of his
Senatorial rights.
Letter from Montgomery.
MoxtGoMfcny, Ala.; Feb. 25, ’B3.
Dear Republican: lam very much
surprised to see in my last paper that
the old timber county of Sumter, oi at
least some of her good citizens, are ad
vocating the question of "no fence,”
and it seems that you are about to
hold an election to that end. Now I
feel a great interest in Sumter county,
and in fact the whole State of Geor
gia, for while I claim Alabama as my
adopted home, I can never forget the
love I have for my native State, and I
want to tell your people what I know
about the “Stock Law” business.
Montgomery county and several other
counties in our State, are under what
we call ‘Stock Law,” which means
no fence, in one sense of the word, but
more fully no stock. Of course it is a
a great saving to have no rails to
split, or old fences to repair, but I am
satisfied if these people of Sumter
county could travel over the railroads
of Montgomery and see the cows tied
along to the telegraph poles or staked
out nibbling what grass she can get
around in the small space which the
rope will let them get to, see the
workmen stop his plow and go and
move his cow to the next pole in order
to keep her alive, they would return to
Georgia and say give me a good old
time ten rail fence, and turn my cow
loose, he could not say cows, for one
is as many as he could afford to own
in a stock law country. Now in this
county we have no timber to split rails
and if we had no stock law would be
forced to put up barb wire fences, but
even this instead of stock law would
be preferable. None but the rich can
have stock, one’who lias plenty of land
and can spare enough to fence in pas
tures, can have stock. A tenant must
drink water or black coffee, must eat
Western bulk meat gravy on his pota
toes olemargine, and on Sunday morn
ing bisenit, provided he has the cash
or credit to buy it with, for he cannot
raise any meat, keep no cow, or eat
any mutton chops, for he has no place
to keep them. Bulloch county has a
stock law which takes in one half of
the county, running down one of her
range land lines, and your people
could be more forcibly impressed with
the advantages of a fence, against no
fence. If they could see how much
more contented and better off the peo
ple are on the fence side of the range
line than on the no fence side. I trav
el through those very often in a buggy
and sometimes I have to stop over
night at a farm house. I always try
to get to get in on the fence side, for I
like cream in my coffee, butter on my
bread, sweet milk to drink and am par
tially fond of home made meat. I
know the other side means bulk meat,
black coffee and olemargine. Now
the citizens of the city of Montgomery,
all who can afford it, own a cow. We
pay a dollar per month to have her
minded out to eat, for if we don’t some
worthless negro, who has just out of
the city line a pen, known as as pound
pen, he will crop tbs line, steal your
cow, drive her out, put her in the pen,
keep her a few days, sometimes longer,
make you pay one dollar for pound
ing and fifty cents a day for keeping
until you you are glad to give him the
cow and call it square.
Well I write you these things for
what they may be worth to my friends
in old Sumter, hoping every voter will
take his stand by his pile of pine rails
and exclaim this is my ticket.
I am Yours Truly,
John M. Cobr.

RAILROAD REMINISCENCE.
HOW THE BELL HOPE WAS INTRODUCED IN
RAILWAY SERVICE, AND THE CONDUC
TOR BECAME BOSS OE THE TRAIN.
Savannah News.
While talking with a number of
train men at one of the railroad depots
yesterday a city reporter found an in
terested audience in relating the follow
ing remiuiscence of primitive railroad
ing, which he had acquired in an inter
ested audience in relating the following
reminiscence of primitive railroading,
which he had acquired in an interview
some time ago with the inventor of the
present system of signaling between the
engineer and train officials:
In the early days of the railroad in
this country the locomotive engineer
was the master of the train. He ran it
according to his judgment, and the con
ductor had very little voice in the mat
ter. Collecting fares, superintending
the loading and unloading of freight,
and shouting “all aboard!” were all
that the conductor was expected to do.
The Erie Railw’ay in the North was
then the New York and Erie Railroad.
One of the pioneer conductors of this
line was Captain Ayres. He ran the
only train then called for between the
terminal points. It was made up of
freight and passengerjears. The idea
of the engineer, without any knowledge
of what was going on back of the loco
motive, having bis way as to how the
train was to be run, did not strike the
Captain as being according to the pro
priety of things. He frequently en
countered a fractious passenger who in
sisted on riding without paying his
fare. As there was no rvay of signal
ing to the engineer, and the passenger
could not be thrown from the train
while it was in motion, the conductor;
in such cases, had no choice but to let
him ride until a regular stop was made.
Captain Ayres finally determined to
institute a now system in the ruuning
of trains. He procured a stout twine,
sufficiently long to reach from the loco
motive to the rear car. To the end ot
this string next to the ongineer he fast
ened a strick of wood, lie ran this
cord back over the cars to the last one.
He informed the engineer, who was a
German named Abe Hamtuil, that if he
desired to have the train stopped he
would pull the string and raise the
stick, and would expect the signal to
be obeyed. Hamtuil looked upon the
innovation as a direct blow at his au
thority, and when the train left the
station he cut the stick loose, and told
Captain Ayres that he proposed to run
the train himself, without interference
from any conductor. The next day the
Captain rigged up his string and stick
of wood again. “Abe,” said he, “this
thing’s got to be settled one way or the
other to-day. If that stick of wood is
not on the end of this cord when we
get to Turner’s, you’ve got to lick me
or I’ll lick you.” The stick was not
on the string when the train reached
Turner’s. The Captain pulled off his
coat and told Hammil to get off’his en
gine. Hatumil declined to got off.
Captain Ayres climbed to the engineers
place. Hammil started to jump oft' on
the opposite side. The conductor hit
Dim under the ear and saved him the
trouble of jumping. That settled for
ever the question of authority on rail
road trains. Hammil abdicated as au
tocrat of the pioneer Erie train, and the
twine and stick of wood, manipulated
by the conductor, controlled its man
agement. That was the origin of the
bell rope, now one of the most import
ant attachments of railroad trains. The
idea was quickly adopted by the few
roads then in operation, and the bell
or gong in time took the place of the
stick of wood to signal the engineer.
Captain Ayres continued a conductor
on this road under its different man
agers until he was superanuated and
retired on a pension.
It Sounded Funny.
Scotch Highlands have the habit
when talking their English of inter
speaking the personal pronodn “he,
when not required such as ‘the king he
has come. Often in consequence the
sentence is rendered extremely ludi
crous. A gentleman says he recently
listened to the Rev. Mr. who
began his discourse thus: “My friends,
you will find my text in the first epistle
general of Peter, fifth chapter and
eight verse. ‘The devil he goeth about
like a roaring lion seeking whom he
may devour.’ ”
“Now, my brethren, for our instruc
tion j haye divided my text into four
hands. Firstly we shall endeavor to
ascertain who the devil he was. Sec
ondly, we shall enquire into his geo
graphical positions, namely, where the
devil he was and where the devil he
was going? Thirdly, who the devil he
was seeking. And fourthly, and lastly,
we shall endeavor to solve a question
which has never yet been solved—what
the devil he was roaring about.”
Judah P. Benjamin, who occupied
several important Cabinet positions
during tbs brief existence of the Con
federate States, and who has since ac
quired wealth and reputation as a ser
geant at the English bar, has been forc
ed to retire from practice because of
threatened heart disease. Before the
war, as a lawyer, Mr. Benjamin was
the peer of the leading American jurist,
and his career in England has been ex
ceptional, he having taken rank among
the greatest English lawyers from the
very moment he began the practice of
his profession in London. His remark
able experience is gratifying evidence,
says an exchange, of the careful train
ing and accurate knowledge required of
members of the bar in this country if
they would grace the highest ranks in
the profession.
The young man who practices on the
trombone in the back yard is not a
“private tooter.” At least, not as pri
vate as his neighbors desire.
No Extra Session.
Washington, Feb. 22. —There is no
talk anywhere now about an extra ses
sion, although it is pretty evident that
there will be no tariff revision. It is
reported that tile President has, within
the past twenty-four hours, said that
he would call no extra session. He
holds that such a session would neces
sarily be long, and that debate on the
tariff would keep the country agitated,'
amf that nothing could be accomplish
ed within the time for the meeting of
the next Congress to make an extra
session expedient..
Humbugged Again.
I saw so much said about the merits
of Hop Bitters, and my wife who was
always doctoring, and never well,
teased me so urgently to get her some,
I concluded to be humbugged again:
and I am glad I did, for in less than
two months’ use of the Bitters, my
wife was cured, and she has remained
so for eighteen months since. I like
such humbugging.—H. TANARUS., St. Paul.
