The President has issued the order in accordance with Congressional en actment providing for the consolidation of internal revenue districts. This re duces the number from 126 to 82, and throws quite a number of Republican orphans on the cold charities of the world. Methodist Presiding Elders of the Northwest, in Convention at Minne apolis, the other day, by a vote of 25 to 12, adopted a resolution declaring against itinerancy. There wasanex tremely warm debate before the vote, and it is not unlikely the action will start a formidable controversy. Newnan Herald: One evening last week, while a party of young gentle men were serenading at Mrs. Dennis’, and playing “The Mocking Biid,” a mocking bird perched itselt on a tree near by and sang the piece through with them. The boys say it was per fectly beautiful, and far surpassed the mnsic of their violins. ■■ ■♦- —■ ■ ■-■ Mr. John F. Slater, founder of the Slater fund tor the education of the negro of the South, entertains very fanciful and extravagant views con cerning the immediate future of the tace. He told a reporter of the New York Evening Post, a few days ago, that he believed at the end of 10 years the colored people of the Southern States will own more land than the whites. The vexed question is settled at last about the Internal Revenue Collector ship at Savannah. The districts are to be consolidated on the first of July, and Walter H. Johnson is designated as Collector. The fight against Pleas ants was severe, and there is no doubt that it was due to the fact that Pleas ants is a colored man, and that the few white Republicans in Georgia were not willing to see a four thousand dol lar office go that way. The Southern Exposition at Louis ville offers a premium of SI,OOO for the best bale of long staple cotton; SSOO for the second best, and $250 for the third best. The same premiums are duplicated for the best three bales of short staple; SSOO for the best exhibit of sea island cotton, and $250 for the second best. These cotton premiums offer make the list foot up $5,150. A local cotton house will increase the amount to 10,000 on the cotton alone. "Instead of dying out,” says the Central Presbyterian, "the Jewish body shows increasing vitality. They cannot be stamped out or swallowed up. They pass from country to coun try to become practically masters wherever they go. They get the land in Germany and Hungary, and grow rich in Russia; they are the great bank ers in London and Paris, and the cen tres of European commerce. In ten (recent) years the Rothschilds furnish ed £100,000,000 in loans to England, Austria, Prussia, France, Russia and Brazil. They increase faster than Christians, and of every 100,000 per sons only 89 Jews die to 143 Chris tians.” A negro lad named John H. Alex ander was admitted to West Point Military academy the other day. He hails from Poughkeepse, N. Y. It is queer that such brands of unquench able burning should be thrown con stantly into this institution by politi cal rote catchers. Negroes have no business in West Point, for no army that the United States will ever have will move at the command of negro officers. If there must be an academy for the education of negro offices, how ever, let the government establish an other school. It will be better for both races. An Atlanta Constitution reporter was shown on .Jonday a mortgage given by the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad to the Central Trust Company, for two million dol lars. It says that the mortgage is given because the Central Trust Com pany endorsed for the road to that amount, the indebtedness being two thousand bonds of one thousand dollars each. The mortgage is signed by Sam uel Thomas on the part of the railroad, while the Central Trust Company is represented in the document by H. F. Spalding. The mortgage is quite vo luminous, and was given in New Yoik on the Ist day of April. Bishop Pierce on the Negro. This week’s Christian Advocate has an article from Bishop Pierce on the proposed Pnino Institute for the educa tion of negro preachers and teachers, in which he says: I regret to say that the people are not responding according to the de mands of the case, or the hopes of the general conference. Public opinion in many places is unsettled as to the wis dom of the project, and in others there is direct hostility, because of a miscon ception of the object intended. To the doubtful and reluctant let me say the education of the negro is not an open question. It is settled by State legis lation—by action of the churches—by individual philanthropy and munifi cence—by the aspirations and new re lations of the colored race, and by the responsibility of their citizenship. The power of education to elevate humanity and to eliminate the elements of evil in natural constitution and social life may be over estimated. The extrava gant calculations of ardent theorists about the capabilities.of the negro may never be realized. Even the rosy views of the hopeful, sanguine human itarian may be shaded in their tints by the developments of the future. But these facts, as probable possibilities, do not justify either opposition or indif ference to a well-directed effort to make the best of an experiment which is be ing made—an experiment which we cannot hinder if we would, and ought not if we could. The negro belongs to a distinct, a peculiar race. His color, his instincts —his prejudices—hfs tastes—his very religion and his modes of enjoying it— separate from the white man and make him exclusive. The negroes wish to be by themselves. They believe in the color line. Unprompted by others, left to their own sentiments and pref erences, they will never stir the social equality question. Every case of trou ble at this point has its purpose—its design. It is the offspring of impu dence, or politics, or the hope of gain, or the love of strife. When a colored man claims equality improperly, he does violence to himself, to his posi tion, his history, his race, and his des tiny. In many important respects the negro dwells alone. It is the ordina tion of nature—it is the plan ofheaven. The churches had as well recognize and provide for it. The Southern Methodist Church, soon after emanci pation, with wise forecast, set them up in a distinct organization. It was their wish. We were not seeking to get rid of them—to throw off responsi bility—but to help them in a way of their own choosing. The result, so far, vindicates the policy. It would have been a grand triumph if other Methodists had not intermeddled. The unity of the colored Methodist church es is a consummation greatly to be de sired on the score of economy, efficient work, and of peace and good order. The only hope of the race, intellect ually, is the rising generation. The aged, the entire adult population, must be reached by other means. Their school days are past. The children may be enlightened and molded to a p***'-* me. X/14V cuv rcatucia muoi i/C equipped mentally and morally for the task. It is a task, arduous and full of difficulty. When the best work is done, it will encounter neutralizing in fluence, ever present bad examples, and the antagonisms of home life. The teachers ought to be first-class, well instructed and soundly converted. To furnish these is one department of the special work of Paine Institute. It is not disrespectful to our colored brethren to say that their ministers, with few exceptions, are grossly ignor ant, blind guides. It could not be otherwise. They cannot expound doc trines nor enforce morals. Much of their teaching is loose and demoraliz ing. They must be taught themselves. Without schooling, without booths of refining associations, if their pulpits give an uncertain sound, what is to be come of the people? Degenerate in morals, corrupt in social life, there is no depth in vice or crime into tvhicli they will not plunge. Patriotism, phil anthropy, religion, self-protection, all urges us to do something. The New Baptist Church. Telegraph and Messenger. The first brick of the new First Bap tist church in Macon, Ga., was laid Tuesday last in the presence of a large number of ladies and gentlemen. The ceremonies opened with an address bv Rev. E. W. Warren, which was beau tiful and appropriate. He ran over some of the history of the church, and looked forward to the first Sunday in November when services would be held tor the first time in the new edifice. After the address a number of little girls and boys filed into the excavation and the first brick, bearing the words, “E. W. Warren, pastor, 1883,” was laid upon the ground by two little girls with a sweet little speech. The children followed with bricks and the erection of the new church was form ally commenced. A Model Southern Girl. Athens Banner-Watchman. Our sanctum was brightened on Fri day by the sweet face of Miss Lucy McClesky, a charming little Miss of “leven, and only child of our esteemed friend Judge McClesky, of McNutt. Miss Lucy is certainly a model South ern girl. She does the cooking, cleans up the house, milks the cows and works a square every morning in the garden before sun-up. She will one day be a rich prize for some young man. The meed of merit for promo ting personal .-0811161108 is due to J. C. Ayer & Cos., whose incomparable Hair Vigor is a universal beautifier of the hair. Harmless, effective, agreeable, it has taken rank among the indispensa ble articles of the toilet. To scanty locks it gives luxuriance; and withered hair it clothes with the hue of youth, Teachers’ Institutes. Department of Education, ) Atlanta, Ga., Juno 2Gth, 1883.f To the Teachers and County School Commissioners of the State : Gentlf.men, —Six Teachers’ Insti tutes will be held this year, beginning about the first of August and continu ing for four weeks. The white and colored teachers will bo taught in differ ent houses, but by the same instruc tors. The Institutes will be located at Albany, Wavcross, Sandersville, Barnesville, Dalton, and at some place near Atlanta on the Georgia Railroad, the point not having been as yet select ed. They will be conducted by Geor gia teachers. I shall be present at each Institute, two or three days, and will expect the County School Com missioners to meet me; and I hope the Boards will allow the Commissioners their per diem for these few days, as the purpose is to furnish them such in struction as will better prepare, them for the efficient discharge of their duties. As soon as the arrangements have been perfected, a circular will be prepared and distributed, which will give the names of the instructors, the rates of board and of transportation, the course of instruction, etc. Gcstavus J. Orr, State School Commissioner. The Georgia Legislature. This body will rc-assemblo at At lanta on Wednesday, the 4th day of July, and will begin the summer ses sion with a large amount of work in troduced last winter and left in various Btages of progress. If not a single new measure should be introduced, it would have work enough for the sultry weather that may be reasonably antic ipated. But published notices have been given of perhaps as many new bills as were introduced in November and December last, and in view of the tedious process through which these must pass before a final vote upon them can be reached, it is evident that the session will be a hard-working one. Prominent among the measures of a general scope to be considered are the following: The re-districting of the State for the election of congressmen; the regulation or prohibition of the liquor traffic; an improved system of working the public roads; the estab lishment of a school of technology; several amendments to the constitution already offered, and probably an ap propriation to build anew capitol, the iuture disposition of the State road, and the convict system of labor. Unless a considerable change has come over the minds of members in their devotion to economy, the capitol appro priation and any large appropriation for the school of technology will be strongly opposed. At its winter ses sion this legislature was fast grounded on the rock of economy and guarded the State treasury with argus-eyed watchfulness. We have seen no indi cations of an abandonment of that stand-point.— Pome Courier. A Remarkable Case. One of the courts of the city of New t* „. i.wu juev umciicu and v r ery rcinsrlifl* ble case. The testimony shows that about twelve years ago the oldest daughter of a Mr. Gill, now a middle aged lady, employed an English ser vant to look after her father, who was then in his dotage and needed constant watching. Subsequently the servant had her sister come to live with her, and the two gained such power over the old man that he obeyed them im plicitly. The two women obtained large sums of money of him, and then, in spite of his relatives, they obtained control of his house, and even of the jewelry of his deceased wife. At length it was discovered that the two women had extorted real estate from him to the value of $90,000. Thereupon the relatives took measures to rescue the old man from the clutch of these harpies, but the old man had taken refuge in a house owned by the women, so the relatives wore unable to see him. His sons took steps to have the father declared insane and to have him and his property put under the control of responsible parties. An inquiry was ordered by the courts and Mr. Gill was summoned to appear. With the pur pose of getting beyond the jurisdiction of the court, the women undertook to remove the old man, and had a carriage on the spot, when the son of Mr. Gill appeared. A free fight ensued, and all the parties were arrested, but while the women wore under arrest other relatives took him to the house of one of them, where he remained during the investi gation. The old man was found to be an imbecile. Ho could not recognize his own children, did not know where he was or from what place he came. Asa matter of course he was put into the hands of his sons. Is it True ? The Savannah Recorder says : “Some parties from Savannah intended going to Albany to take advantage of the artesian well recently dug there, but were prevented from going by the report that tho negroes have taken pos session of that fount of health. If the report be true that ladies cannot attend the ivell without policemen being pres ent, then the authorities should take precautions so as to prevent such in trusion of these negroes. It is about the same with the’park here. The negroes take possession of tho choice seats and benches, so that ladies are obliged to walk about the walks in stead of enjoying the cool shades of that resort.” A Human Monstrosity. There is in Hampshire county, West Virginia, a human monstrosity which excels anythingßarnum ever exhibited. It is a young woman, or child, born in Pennsylvania in 1865, and therefore eighteen years old, who is in every thing but age an infant. She is the daughter of Mr. John E. Miller, of Shanesville. A gentleman who re cently saw her and learned her age from reliable authority, found her lying in a cradle. She is twenty-eight inches in height and weighs but twenty five pounds. She cannot walk or talk, and eats nothing but milk, which is fed from a bottle. She has, however, a quick perception and remarkable memory, and a brief poem or sentence repeated to her once and weeks after again repeated with but one word vary ing, arouses her anger and she frowns at the changed word. An article laid down in the room and in her sight may be allowed to remain for days, yet an inquiry for it will be answered by the child by pointing in its direction. She is quite an attractive baby, and no reason for her stunted growth has ever been assigned. The facts narrated above seem to bo well attest and, and many physicians have visited the child without being ablo to even conjecture the cause of her condition. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says: “What will be the outcome of the present flat house craze it is difficult to foretell. Houses covering an acre of ground, with all sorts and kinds of in volved ground plans, running twelve and fourteen stories high, costing all the way from half a million to a mil lion and a half of dollars, no longer at tract attention or excite curiosity. They are literally without ground of any sort or kind, have no gardens, and are divided into flats, which are for sale rather than for rent. The prices are absurdly high for either. In some flat houses single suites are rented as high as SIO,OOO a year, and from that down to $2,000. In time of fire the iron fire-escapes with which these buildings are disfigured or ornamented according to your idea, in my judg ment, would be of no use whatever. It would puzzle an acrobat to utilize them on a clear, bright day, when there was no excitement or trouble of any kind. What ordinary- men, wo men and children could do with them in the day or night, surrounded by flame and smoke, and particularly after the iron has been heated red hot, the inventors doubtless cap tell, though fortunately, thus far, we have had no experience to guide the ordinary under standing. The Law of Finding. One hundred years ago the law of finding was declared by the King’s Bench in a case in which the facts were these: A person found a wallet containing a sum of money on a shop floor. Ho handed the wallet and con tents to the shop keeper to be returned to the owner. After three years, dur ing which time the owner did not call for the property, the finder demanded the wallet and money from the shop keeper. The latter refused to deliver them up on the ground that they were found on his premises. The finder then sued the shop keeper, and it was held as above stated, that against all the world but the owner the title of the finder is perfect. And the finder has been held to stand in the place of the owner, so that he was permitted to pre vail in action against a person who found an article which the plaintiff had originally found but subsequently lost. The police have no special rights in regard to articles lost unless these rights are conferred by statute. Re ceivers of articles found arc trustees for the finder. They have no power in the absence of a special statute to keep the articles against the finder any more than the finder has to retain the article against the owner. Hotels for the South. Speaking of projected hotels the Way cross Reporter says: "Mobile is ta king steps to have lierself extensively advertised as a winter resort. Way cross will do the same when her big hotel is completed, which will cost about $75,000. Savannah has been talking over the subject of a large ho tel, which lias not as yet assumed defi nite shape. Charleston, S. C., is se riously talking of a $500,000 hotel; the stock for a SIOO,OOO hotel at Augusta, Ga., has nearly all been taken, and Wilmington, N. 0., is now moving to secure the erection of another hotel to cost $150,000. Colorless and Cold. — A young girl deeply regretted that she was so colorless and cold. Her face was too white, and her hands and feet lelt as though the blood did not circulat. After one bottle of Hop Bitters had been taken she was the rosiest and healthiest girl in the town, with a vivascity and cheerfulness of mind gratifying to her friends.

In a certain part of our county there lived a family, in which there are two brothers just entering upon the prime of youthful manhood; a short distance from them—in fact in the same neigh borhood—there lives another family in which are two sisters, also in the prime of maidenhood, beautiful, fascinating and attractive. These young people being near neigh bors, and coming in contact with each other often, almost naturally it would seem, fell in love with each other, the eldest brother with one of the sisters and the younger with the other. All went smoothly for a time, and these young people enjoyed themselves, and dreamed bright dreams of the future, and no doubt in imagination constructed fairy palaces of love, and gardens, like Paradise, which should be only filled with b autiful flowers and fruits of happiness and unalloyed enjoyment. Then, as a matter of course, tha ques tion of marrying arose, which must be referred to the parents of the young ladies for approval. The eldest brother had no difficulty in obtaining their con sent to his marrying the young lady, and the wedding day was fixed upon. Then the young brother went to the parents and made known his attach ment for the other sister and their mutual desire to ‘‘splice and travel the road of life together.” But the old folks were decidedly opposed to having more than one of their girls marry into “that family,” and plainly informed him that if he wanted a wife he must go elsewhere to get her, intimating that he should desist paying further atten tion to the young lady in question. But the young man was determined that if his brother married one of the girls lie would marry the other. So he went to the young “lady of his love,” and told her the circumstances of the situation, and desired her, if she loved him, to prove her love by running off with him. To this she agreed, and the night was fixed upon when they should carry out the mutual agree ment. But now comes the strangest part of the story. The two young ladies resembled each other very much in looks, voice, ifcc., and by some strange freak, when the night of the elopement came and the young man went to the appointed place of meeting, he found a woman there whom he thought was the right one, but she was not. Uncon scious of this however, he took her to the place where the marriage ceremony was to be performed, before he found out that he was with the wrong girl. Most wonderful to relate, he thought that after he had gone to all this trou ble he would get married anyway, so he asked her if she would have him, and she, in order to carry out the joke. 6aid she would, and they were married then and there. It appears that she had overheard him making arrange ments to elope with her sister, and knowing the place of meeting, deter mined to go there ahead of her and thus fool the young man, for whom she en *--ninnrl o cnnvnt lilriri . nltliougli olio was engaged to be married to his brother. Our informant also states that alter they had lived together for some time the elder brother, determin ing to make the mos of the situation, took unto himself the other sister. Mr. Charles D. Hill, son of the late Senator Hill, has of late been distin guishing himself at the Atlanta Bar. The papers of that city and people, who have recently listened to speeches made in several important law cases, are of the opinion that the mantle of eloquence of his distinguised father has fallen upon the son. Ho made the best speech Monday in the Brightwell case, and there was engaged in that trial such legal lights as Gartrell, Pike Hill, Hoke Smith, John Milledgo and others. Something for Soldiers. Adjutant General John A. Stephens has been notified by the Secretary of the Virginia State Agricultural Society that competitive drills between white military companies from Georgia, Ala bama, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia and Virginia will be held at the State Fair November Ist, 1883, and a cordial in vitation is extended to all companies in Georgia to be present and engage in the contest. A prize of $2,000 will be offered for the best drilled company. The Columbia, S. C., Peilister de nies that the war settled the question of secession and asks: “Are there not States of the Union that could to morrow withdraw and establish a sep arate government for themselves with out the possibility of being coerced back into it? The nine States of New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, lowa, Michigan and Wisconsin contain one-half of the population of the United States and by far the greater resources. How could the rest of the Union restrain them if they saw fit to withdraw ? And yet these are not quite one-fourth of the States of the Union.” The Register suggests a very improbable state of affairs, but “it is the unexpected that always happens;” and ours is a very astonishing country. Cuthbert Enterprise. A real mis fortune happened to Capt, Win, M. Tutulin last Friday. While he was having his oats threshed, a spark from the engine fell upon a large pile of oats and contumed some six or eight hun dred bushels. The thresher itself was rescued with great difficulty. . We sympathize with the Captain in his loss. Pete grtPMtfeattflite. AYER’S Hair Vigor restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich brown color, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use light or red hair may be darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cured. It checks falling of the hair, and stimu lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It prevents and cures scurf and daudruff, and heals nearly every disease peculiar to the scalp. Asa. Ladies’ Hair Dressing, the Vigor is unequalled; it contains neither oil nor dye, renders the liair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparls a delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume. Mr. C. P. Briciier writes from Kirby , 0.. July 3, 1882 : “ Last fall my hair commenced falling out, and in a short time 1 became nearly bald. 1 used part of a bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vioou, which stopped the fall ing of the hair, and started anew growth. I have now a full head of hair growing vigor ously, and am convinced that but for the use of your preparation I should have been entirely bald.” J. W. Bowen, proprietor of tlie McArthur (Ohio) Enquirer . says : “Ayer’s Hair Vigor i3 a most excellent preparation for the hair. I speak of it from my own experience. Its use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction.” Mu. Angus Faiurairn, leader of the celebrated “ Fairbairn Family ” of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Boston , Mass., Feb. 6, ISBO : “ Ever since my hair began to give sil very evidence of the change which fleeting time procureth, I liavo used Ayer’s Hair Vigor, and so have been able to maintain an appearane© of youthfulness—a matter of considerable consequence to ministorg, ora tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives iu the eyes of the public.” Mrs. O. A. Prescott, writing from 18 Elm St., Charlestoicn, Mass., April 14, 1882, says : “ Two years ago about two-tliirds of my hair came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was fast growing bald. On using Ayer’s Hair Vigor the falling stopped and anew growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. It has continued to grow, and is now as good as before it fell. 1 regularly used but one bottle of the Vigor, but now use it occasionally as a dressing.” We have hundreds of similar testimonials to the efficacy of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It needs but a trial to convince the most skepti cal of its value. PREPARED BY Dr. J.C.Ayer&Co., Lowell, Mass.
