CEDARTOWN RECORD. W, S. D. WIKLE & 00., Proprietors. CEDARTOWN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 187(5. VOL. II. NO. 50. TIMELY TOPICS. Y ill: St. 1/iuifl < linin'-Democrat, in re frcnco to the Hot Spring*, think* that •under nil the eirruiustnmv*, the Wat thing the government win do in to promise the matter with the preset . cupanls ol tho land, and if Katisfiictory terms on Imih aides cannot lie arrived at to K'll, iu h.ts, to tho highest bidder. A nkw cap has been adopted for the officer* of the navy, nod thorn who have fs’en the sample at the navy department M X *t will make a great commotion the service on account of its extraordi nary sha|»e. It resembles the Scotch Imnnet of (Hcngnry cap with cape and eyelet lmles behind, and differs from «'»ily In being of regulation blue cloth. Spanish iiiosn, which grows so ahttnd antly in the southern states, is regarded as the salvation of residents of swnntpy regions, ns it feeds on malarious elements in the atmosphere. Tho moss often grows twenty or thirty feet long, ar prolific is it that a single oak often car ries a moss-covering of twenty-five tons —ni Ijr^st this is the remarkable state merit made in regard to it. 1 nr physicians say that Commodore A underbill is rapidly going to pieces, and cannot live many months. It is said that his business has I wen arranged with a view to his death at any moment, and cannot snller seriously whenever it shall take place. Hut the New York stock exchange, is prepared to Is- excited by a announcement of his death, whethe true or false. Dp each million of children born i England 2(18,000 die before reaching the age of five, 31,000 an* carried off during the five years following, and 18,000 he tween ten and fifleen years. Only 034,- 045 attain the age of twenty-five, and but 421,115 that of fifty-five. Out of the whole 1,000,000 only 2,153 reach the nge of ninety-five, 223 live to Iw cente narians, and only one attains to .... 108th year. The latest llatisfc* confirm the statement that females live longer than males, and married |H*ople lunge, than single ones, and it also appears that .lews live longer than Christians. I'm: Boston philanthropists have Iwm indulging their sympathy for murderer* by getting up a i*etition to save I’iper, convicted of the murder of tho little girl, Mahle Young, last summer, in the tower of one the churches «if that city ; hut Piper has jest made a confession of that bloody deed, as well as of others in which he was supposed to have had a hand. The murder was a very atrocious one, and Piper assorted lor some time that he was innocent, hut Huhocqucntly stated that the girl had boon killed by the trap-door of the lielfry falling acci dentally u|H*n her. He now confesses that lie killed her, actuated by an in- sano desire for blood. Nor in and Month Carolina are natur ally interested in that clause of the pro- fx>*ed Hawaiian treaty which admits the rice ol the Sandwich Island* free ol duty, «a are al*o Georgia and Ixiuisiana. To these states the rice crop is of great im portance, and the planters know that if exposed hi free eoin|s>tition they must “i ek some other agricultural pursuit. It i* claimed that the remission of duty on Hawaiian rice is merely lor the liencfit of the Pacific coast, hut, o( course, New England would come along and demand that tlm East India article Is- admitted free ■ fa vn ■ protection 1 that the cry for confined entirely interests of the east. Mr. Hon AM) t». Mitchell, in re sponding to tho toast of “ Agriculture" at the annual dinner of the New Haven ( hamlwr of commerce, said, among other things, that agriculture did not lend to such offenses ns Belknap's. He was of the opinion that Belknap did not spring from the plow. There had been too iimdi worship of the golden calf in this country ; it was seen recently in the gap ing crowds at Mr. Stewart’s funeral. Commerce had an' object higher than that of money-making. Kind deeds and generosity, not spasmodic, hut overflow ing day by day, year after year, give a better odor to a man’s memory than the following after biers by ex governors «r gold handles to coffins. Daniel IMiKWhasbeen interviewed in his retirement, and yielded, under gentle pressure, the following: ' I’ve retired permanently from business this time, which I ought to have done years ago tinder different and happier circum stances. I never dreamed that the time would come when I should have to go into bankruptcy. There nover was just such a case as mine ever heard on ’afore. No man was ever so rich as I was, worth at one tirneeigbt or ten millionsof money, and then made to lose every dollar of it in so short a time." Referring to the late A. T. Stewart, he said that even that prompt business man had delayed his charitable schemes too Io;ig, and now they would have to bo carried out by some one else, if at all. In allusion to Stewart’s wealth, he said lie never esti mated him at over forty millions; but Vanderbilt was surely worth a hundred millions of money if he owned a dollar. LATEST NEWS.
