Though I’ll see mama and Nellie, for I know he'll lot them in. But I’ll have to toll the angel, when I meet him at the door, That bo must excuse my papa, ’cause lie conldn’t leave the store.

If papa were only ready, I should like to go to-day ; But if 1 should go before him, to that world of light and joy, Then I guess he’d want to come to heaven to see his little boy. Judge James Jackson’s Address. No literary address, of late years, lias attracted more attention, or received more unqualified praise, than tlie address •of Judge James Jackson, before the Al ninui Society, ot the University ol Geor gia, at the recent Commencement exer cices ot this noble old mstitmion. The theme ot the eminent orator | was “The Purmsnent Homestead,” and he handled the subject with the artistic touch of a master. The address is ot high tone, classical, pure and vigorous. The speak tr was evidently enthused by the subject, and (exhausted upon it every grace ot dic tion, and gave us the results ot lobori ous thought. ’A e trnst this splendid effort will soon be placed in phamphlet form, tor the sake of permanent and wi der influence. We quote with with sin ceie pleasure the following and poetic apostrophe to Georgia; it is a vivid and splendid picture of our dear old State : Though marred and furrowed by the r ule plowshare ot a rough agriculture, and by the ruder and rougher chariot wheels oi war, how beautiful still is the face of Georgia litted to 'be sky, and how sercfily and benignly do the deep 1 bine sky and golden sunset and soft clime smile back upon this favored child of sky and clime and soul. See, yonder on her Not them border are her itountains with leaping rivulet and rich valley and irn beded ore ; yonder on the sea along her Southern border are her broad savan nahs, hei alluvial bottoms, her rich is lands, her pine f:rests—all abounding in the germinal wealth of rice, cotton, corn, sugar, sprup, limber, turpentine, fruit and floweis -1 every flavor and hue; while between these two extremities the great heart ot the State, beneath her broad girdle, the red belt, beats and throbs with blood, pouring out ot arteries and veins, rivers and springs, and wa - tering and enriching a soil and dime capable of producing everything that can tempt ap|etite uud invite enterprise. Tine, no rarjnssus, Helicon, or Olympus, rises from her surface, hoary w ith vein r ab'.c associations ami classic lore ; but there stands her solitary mount of solid ■tone, firm as when the waters ot the deluge swept ha-m'cssly over its mass of granite; aud wonder orojeefs the foot of the IJlnc Kidge with many a rugged spur ; and yonder (.'urrahee frowns near Tocoa’s rainbow spray of beauty; and tLcie Ta'.lu'ali rushes like an avalanche through chasm giaud as Alpine heights ; aud yonder Youali keeps silent watch Nacoohehee at his base asleep with face .•as tranquil and smile as sweet as lempe •classic vale. There God has placed ;them, gentlemen, a coronet to glorify brow forever. True, no Sind, norTiegali, uor Canned, nor Zion, nor Cavalry, stamp Almighty steppings on Ih* -e*) to make her a holy laud : l ,ul tvoon wanv a lull top tli sp:re ot the chMjh points heavenward, aii‘J from bt’l topaaid valley Sabdatli-schools without nuufber lunch tLe children to lisp the Savior'*: name, and everywhere over the Slate the lesson li e Lord .aught the wo* | mau at the well has heed learned, and !

[.Fiooi the Chicago Tribune Indervicw with General Briebin. “Are there any nobles Indians, Gener al, such as we read about in the b?rks ?" ll—“ Yes, plenty ol them, and greater eh'udwnohvi"i* on tW plains then ever •t ’ V < "T TANARUS I- , i ' a a r. ' . ' Tccumseh. 1 think Silting Bull, a.; a worrier, is a greater Indian than ha, cvei appeared in America. The late cam paigns on the Yellowstone show that he is equal in managing battles. A few years ngo ho was a blanket Indian, with out influence or wealth, and by bis own energy he has raised himself to the head of the moat powerful Indian tribe on the plains, and is acknowledged leaner of all the host ill*. Bed Ciond will compare favorably witn any chief that has ever lived, and Spotted Tail is not far behind him in nbility. I remember Washakie, chief of the Shoshones, who, if lie had been born white instead of red, would have been a leader of llie people in anv State—a Governor or Senator, In per* sonal appearance Ibis chief strongly re sembles the Father of his Country as painted by Pcale; taP, straight, while haired and dignified, be is the personifi cation of a real man. I have had him to dine at my house an never entertained a more agreeable old man. lie will not cat till he has washed, dressed his lijiii ana paired his nails, lie is polite to la dici‘ and children are his delight, going to him instinctively as to a friend. Ic is almost impossible to disturb bis repose, while hisjdac'id replies in council would do credit to the most dignified SenalO'. He lias great abilities,and treats every I question presented to him with such comprehensive knowledge as to astonish white men. He is as brave as Julius Cscsar, and in eaery sense a savage statesman, orator, warrior.’’ Life iu the Black Hills. An idea of life in the Mack IHUh may be obtained from the circumstances at tending the recent murder there oi the famous scout “Wild Bill." The mudertr tvas Jack McCall, whose brorther had been murdered by wild Bill. Jack’s statement is that bis brother and Wild Bill had a little misunderstanding in a saloon in Kansas and Will Bill having two pistols, threw McCall one of them, and said: “I)—n yon, defend yourself." McCall took the pistol, but before be could raise it. Wi.d Hill shot him dead, young Jack McCall, hearing the partic ular of bis brother’s death, registed an oath that he would kill Wild Bill on sight, and he kept his word, -The cir cumstances attending the tragic event as proven on trial were that Wild Bill was seated in a gambling saloon when McCall entered and walked up to Wild Hill and put a pistol to Ins head and blew his brains out. The gamblers, of whom there are hundreds in the Black Hills, buried Wild Bill with a great deal of ceremony, and hired a lawyer and prosecuted the case with all the power and viger that money and a desire for vengeance could bring to bear. The miners, on ti e other hand, employed a lawyer and made a vigorous defence, which resulted in the acquittal of McCall. Before flic jury, Jack stated that he did kill Wild Bill, and if it was to do over again would do the same, and that non lie was ready to <he and the jury could hang him it they wished to do so. The j courts in the Black Hills arc conducted! with the same punctilious observance of the law that they are in any State in the laud. Some gentleman of legal ability is elected by the miners ns Judge, a Sheriff is appointed, and the most per fect order is preserv and. The jury is drawn with the greatest impartiality, able counsel is employed on botli sides, and everything cor.dncted with ptrfect order and decorum. The Press. “Mightiest of tko mighty means. On which the mai of progrcssjjleans— Man’s noblest mission to advance, l'is woes assail, hiR weal enhance, His rights enforce, his wrongs redress— The mightiest of the mighty is the Press.” All powerful, wonderful, reflecting, extending, stimulating . cheering and enlightening, says St. Mary's editor of tho Seaport Appeal, is the press. It spreads before the antire civilized world the intelligence of the whole. Men learned and unlearned commune by it in tlie distance. It ai Is and spreads Christianity —extends and adorns civili ! zaiion—strengthens and upholds science, art and maohanism—drvolopos man and mind in its reality forms, educates, builds up and refines society ; : ids gov ernments in all of its schemes and rsour ces—reflects the genuineness and true chaiacter of a people—defends aud pro tects the innocent—reproves aud pun sit es the guilty. The politician, religion ist, agriculturist, mechanic genius, and, in fact, all men of every grade aud call ing iu society, are directly or Indirectly under obligations to the press; for, with out it, what would be the state of man! Echo answers—what f The glorious Southeren press, in its candor, fidelity, ingenuity, firmness, con stancy, energy and uuparalleled zeal has been one oi the mosu powciful engines used against the brutes warring against our rights and ipstdulions, It has wonderfully united, stimuUted, encour aged and nerved the people. It lias stung heued and thrown light upon and around truth, and .hukness and disap pointment around error. Kxposiug and resisting wrong ; upholding and encour j aging right; its conductors have proven \ ■•ith\ the tim s an! country in which they live. Acting teurlessly, constantly, sacrificinly and candidly they have succeeded as an nnxiliarily and powerful weapon, u|>on the foe—a foe of every brutal instinct A timid press is without force and independence, and is often ruled by either the vicious will of desperadoes or capitalists. A timid person is unfit for its conduct; yet to lie bold—-to have moral-courage, is to be subject to dan ger, insult, and innumerable sacrifices. But let all ilia be suffered and let blood issue, give us a lree, hlghtone energetic press, sustained by the moral prineipl J of the people, and we will have the fre est, wisest, soundest and most powerful government in all the world; for we have all of the elements to constitute it. If we do not have the moral courage to sustain and maintain a free “press, we shall make an inglorious failue in onr attempts to establish a government a all. The Gentle Savge. The Cheyenne Leader tells the fol lowing fearful story of how some Crow Indians mutilated and torturef! a woun den Sioux whom they captured : On the morning following the battle of the Rosebud,as the column vras moving from the place of bivouc, there suddenly arose among the red allies a singular excite ment. Oue of them had ridden up to a dark object lying beside the stream, and saw and gazed at it, and after others had joined him, they all chattered as wildly together as the South American mon © keys when they discover the prepinqui. ty of a snake. After gestures and yells, they dismounted and brandished their knives. Approaching them, there was seen on the fresh, dewy grass, under the gentle shadow of a stooping willow’, the most horrible object that could meet the human eye. A dusky human form, nude and bloody, was writhing under the knives of the merciless victors. The object was a Sioux, who, in the latter part of the fight, had been wounded by a snake, scalped and left for dead. In tearing the turi of raven hair from his head, a portion of the bone, fractured with a blow of the tainahawk, had clung to the flesh, and the bone was laid fcwrc. And yet, in (he morning the savage was still alive, and hearing the tramp of hor ses, and believing bis tribe had beaten the whites, be crawled out of the gully in whi'.li lie lay and called, “ininne!” (water) to a Crow who had pasaeft, and who he undoubtedly thought was a Sioux. Ihe Crow turned, and his face kindled with joy. Six shots were fired into the prostrate figure. The head and the flesh hacked, and the hones hewened until there was nothing recognizable as human. Infamies too shameful and dis gusting for record completed the ghastly climax of horror. It was an illustration of the fiendish ferocity of all the plain Indians against their foes. The Sioux practice even more refined barbarities, torturing their victims in the most ex* (piisite manner, end making them more dreadful by deferring by every art in i heir power, the welcome relief of death. A Woman’s Ingenuity. A Dublin chambermaid is said to have got twelve commercial travelers into eleven bedrooms, and yet to have given each a separate room. Here we have eleven separate bedrooms: fTTpriYTT jc i 1 i ii io iii “Now," says she, “if two ot you gen tlemen will go into No. 1 bedroom and wait a few minutes I’ll find a spare room lor )on as soon as I have shown the others to their rooms." Well, now, having thus bestowed two gentlemen in No. 1, she puts tlie third iu No. 2, the fourth in No. 3, tlie filth in No. 4, tho sixth in No. the seventh in No. 6, the eighth in No. 7, tbo ninth in No. 8, the lentil in No. 9, the eleventh in No. 10. She then came back to No. 1, where you will remember she left the twelfth gen tleman alcue with the first, and said : “I've accommodated all the rest and have still a room spate, so if one ot you will step into No. 11 you will find it empty. Thus the twelfth man got bis bedroom. Of course there is a bole in the saucepan somewhere, but we leave tlie reader to determine axactly where the fallacy is, with just a warning to think twice before declaring as to which, if any of the tiavelers was the “odd man out.” Ho t on tub Ocean.— The blazing heat ot the last two mouths has not only toasted the dry land.
