Georgia’s Congressmen.
The telegraph informs us that nil the
old members of congress of Georgia
have been renominated, and as a deni'
neratic nomination in Georgia signifies
:m election, their return to the congrie
monal halls is assured. The selections
w.we decidl tlly wise, and evince an ab
sence ot much party contention in the
democratic tanks. No State con claim
an eminence over Georgia in the intel
lectual character of its congressmen, and
it is a matter of gen-hit congratulation
that the old delegation has been rcnoni'
iunted.
The mistake is net unireijently made
oi changing congressmen aibitrarily at
the end ofeaeh term. Of course a pub
lic position cannot be an inheritance in
this country, but the idea ot rotation in
otlice, though it may be commendable as
applied to executive departments, must
not be iulerpHed 100 severely as applied
to the legislative mid judical. Fifluent
ly congressmen are changed just ut the
moment when they mo capable of per
forming-some service. An apprentice
iliip of a year cr uvo necessary to an
intelligent understanding of legislative
business, and often reputation are wreck
ed by a stupid belief that a local public
orator should ijmnedht ly distinguish
himself on his elevation to a legislative
position.
It is a matter of
that tho democratic party has very
generally recognized this fact in their
nominations throughout tho country.
l'i{ey propose to send back the best men,
regardless of previous terras of service,
and relegate those to obscurity who have
fallen short of expectation. Louisiana j
has beeu one of the foremost in this ex
ample, aud Georgia has not been tarday
in following it.
Russian Wolves.
The wolves of .Russia constitute a very
important item of the polilicial economy
of the empire. They are almost as dis
astrous to prosperity as the continual in
vasion of a foreign wotild be, and
it is somewhat singular that effective
measures are not taken to exterminate
them. It is computed that there are
170,000 ol them in Russia, but it is sta-
ted that they eat lully their own weight
whenever they get very hungry. A pair
of wolves will devour half a horse at a
meal. They have a liking for all kinds
of cattle, as well as birds'; and ol the
latter it is stated that Russia’s wolves
destroy two millions a year. In 1870,
too, statistics show that two hundred
human beings were destroyed by wolves.
A comparison was instituted between
losses by lire and the cattle-plague, as
against the wolves, aud they were found
to be ueaily equal—plague and firo hav
jng’a slight advantage in destructiveness.
In the year mentioned it cost the people
over $">,000,000 to feed the wolves,
leaving the 200 human beings destroyed
by them out of L the computation. The
Wolves have an ugly trick of playiug
dead, to carry out their purposes. A
peasant found ono npparently*dead, and
took him home on his sledgejfor the sake
of his skirt* The wolf, having disarmed
all suspicion that be was hungry, seszed
the man by the throat, lie soon finished
tho man and his meal, and Sot off with*
out harm. It seems to be dobtful which
will finally occupy Russia, the Russians
or their wolves,— St. I/Oiiis Republican.
WHat Toombs Said to H. I Kim-
Ball.
Gen. Hob Toombs, according to thu
Atlanta Commonwealth , spoke thus:
‘timbal 1 , if you can convince the peo
ple that you can profitably manufacture
ttoltou with steam power, you will luvo
done more to reclaim the State than any
other living man ; and it I were twenty
years younger, nothing would suit me
better than to lake hold of the enter
prise with you, tor, with my knowledge
of the people,' aud your practical experi
ence mid good sense, we would arouse
aud interest everybody from the moun
tains to the seaboard, and in ten years
Georgia should bo manufacturing every
pound of cotton she could grow.’
A substitute lor gunpowder Ims been
•invented in England, in the shape of pa
per impregnated with a chemical com
bination of chlorate of potash, nitrate of
ipotash and chromate of potash, coupled
\vith a little powilcred charcoal and t in
dcr; The paper is rolled around these
Utter in the desired sizes (or cartridges.
The advantages offered are that no dan
ger ot explosion exists except from actual
contact with fire ; the interior of thw aim
i# not soiled, less smoko and less lebouud
arc made than with gunpowder, and less
damage Stakes place from humidity.
Vfiy satisfactory trials have been made

Meddlesome people exist in every
Community, and are about as popular as
any one can be. They stir around and
abuse everybody, and tiy to decry down
and injure other people in the patronage
ci their business. They are as full of j
egotism and bile as a mule is ot mean' I
r.pss. What use meddlesome people are '
in a community wo cannot contrive.
Rev. Robert Irvine, D. D.
The Rev. It. Ervine, D. D., of Augus
t.i, Ga , conducted divine service hero on
each ot the last five Sabbaths. His fi'* l
sermon on“ Faith, Hope an I Charity’
was very highly complimented in the
columns of the Petersburg Daily Pott
by the gifted editor; who whs one of bis
audience ; and all of his services, both
morning and evening, have been gieailj
eulogized by the guests of this hotel ;
but his sermon on last Sabbath morning,
wrich occupied about an hour in deliv
ery, on “The Atoning Blood ot Christ,’
was pronounced by bis audience to be
one of the sublimest specimens of pulpit
oratory they had ever listened to.—
Toward.the close, in illustiating tho vi
tal union between Christ and all belicv
eis, both in grace and glory, he sai 1 that
they were all depending t on Christ for
their present existence, “Because I live,
ye shall live also." The hidden life of
grace in the soul and tho eternal life of
glory in Heaven, are both seemed
through Christ, and flow from him as
the living head. He had spent hours in
admiring' that magnificent .old weeping
willow which stands a few yards from
his cottage door. Its massive trunk
vies with the cedar of Lebanon. Its
brawny bows and bonding branches,
lipped and draped with millions of wee
pers, invest it with a beauty and a gian
d ur which neither pen nor pencil could
portray. But what is the secret of its
prodigious size and beauty ? It is moor
ed among rocks and boulders, and yet
soars above all its fellows, though rooted
in the rich loamy soil of the lawn below.
Go and vLit this monarch of its tribe,
and you will see that close by one of its
gnarled and massive roots there rolls a
cease less’crystal rtreamy which bubles
from yon hillside, the largest spring you
have ever seen, and nature, not only
lavish but economic, has compelled that
great ducture which clasps these rocks
to tl row out millions of tiny r?d rootlets
which are lapping from the crystal
stream as it glides by, and <piilely feed
ing and nourishing that enormous wil
low—every bougl, fefanoh, twig, and
leaflet, is thus lefreslied and sustained.
Were that limped stream to dry up, this
immense willow, with all its family of
dependants, would perish. There is a
river which the Ilebiew prophet saw,
and of which the Seer of Patmos sang.
It is the “River of the Water of life,
flowing from under the throne of God
aud of the Laiuh.” Christ himself is the
Smitten Rock, the source and fountain
of all spiritual life ; and it is only by
virtue ol your union with Ilim that you
now live in grace or shall ever live in
| glory. “The whole family in Heaven
and earth” live and only live by virtue
of their union with Christ. Were it
possible fi/t Christ as Mediator to die,
what a catastrophe would that death
produce 1 When as a man, though tHe
God man he expired on Cavalry, the sun
muffled his face in mourning, aud the
earth rocked and reeled beneath his feet;
and the graves in the valley ol Juhosha
phat threw back their prisoners. Hut
were lie to die now, Heaven itself, aud
enrth # too, would become but the sepul
chres of angels aud of men ; and were it
possible tor tho tidings to be telegraphed
from system to system, and star to star,
the death ot the Mediator would throw
a lufferal pall over the whole Universe of
of God. “Hecause 1 live ye shall live al
so.’’—Blue Rid ye y Fa) Summer limes.
AN INDIAN’S LAST SHOT.
Still Fighting after Both Legs and
a Shoulder Had Been Broken.
On Monday morning August 21, four
white men while out hunting about two
miles from Deadwood, killed a deer, and
While they were skinning it one o! them
saw an Indian approaching them leading
his pony. lie was probably tiying to
surprise them, but beiug uncertain of
their exact position, ho had approached
too near and they discovered hifn first.
One of the party snatched up his shotgun*
loaded with buckshot, and fired both
barrels bringing down the Indian and
his pony. The confident manner in
which the Indian had walked toward
them led them to suppose that ho was
supported by a number of others, and so
they quickly retreated towaid Deadwood
for reinforcements. A party started out
to scout the country and on reaching
die spot where the deer lay, tt e men
saw the Indian by the side ot his pony,
and thinking him dead they rushed for
ward. This action was fatal to one ot
the party, tor a shot from the Indian’s
rifle struck him in the heart. A volley
from the others killed tho Indian in
stantly, however, and his body was quick
ly surrounded by the while men. The
ludiau had been almost riddled with
buckshot, one shoulder and both legs
having been broken, yet >ie bad man
aged to bandage his legs and to take
nnorring aim with his wounded arm.
Knowing that his life would be takeu
without doubt, he %ad prepared to sell
it as dearly as posible, and, lying on his
hack, he rested his rifle on his wounded
leas and shot dead the foremost of his j
assailants. In his mouth was another!
cartridge ready to reload. His rifle was
the latest and best breech loading arm !
issued to the army in 1875, and it was
probable that ho had , obtain it •in the
faster or lieuo fight, since an old bnllci
mark ir the grip of the stock showed
licit it had been in action. — lilack Hills

The bird that Sang in ihd Rain.
Charley stood under the wood.shed,
it was raining, and his mamma had call
ed him from the kitchen window, and
told him to stay Gore or else coine in
to the house.' So Charley stayed thtfe,
and with him, I'm sorry to say, stayed a
frown and a pout.
“Too bad tor the horrid rain to coine,
he said to Teaze, his little brown dog,
“just as ydtt and me, lie siiouh! have
said “you and I,” “were having such a
good time rolling over and over in the
grass.”
Teaze shook his hf-atl gravely, and
mad.) believe wipe a tear from his bright
black eye—but really he only knocked a
fly off h'.s fumy black nose.
“I hate the rain," Charley went on,
“Its alwavs aroui.d when a fellow wants
to play. A reg’lar old spoiltun, that 's
what it is, and I wish it would go way
and never come hack again.’’
Just then a dear little.bird, sitting on
one of the branches of an old apple tree
iliat hung over the wcodshed, began to
sing merrily.
“Goodness sake !” psaid Cfrarlej',
peeping out at him, “you’d better get
into your nest and pull the bedclothes
over you. How can you sing when it
rains so hard!”
“Sing?” sang the bird ; “I Sing to see
the rain—the kindly summer rain that
has come to coax the seeds yet in the
eaith to put out their wee green leaves,
and to help the buds turn into flowers,
and to give the thirstX grass a drink, and
set the waves of the brook dancing with
joy. The beautiful, iund.raiu 1”
that’s so ;” said Charley
thoughtfully, and away went the frown
and the pout, and a bright smile came in
their stead; “but we never thought of
that before, did we, Teaze ?’’
Teaze looked at his master—looked at
the bird—ran round after his tail three
times, and then, the sunshine coming
out once more, darted off through the
wet grass, barking loudly an invitation
for Chari ey to follow.
Poor Girls.
The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never besn 1 taught to
work. There are thousands ot them.
Rich parreuts have petted them ; they
have been taught to despise labor, and
depend on others tor a living, and arc
perfectly helpless. It misfortune cornea
upon their friends, as it often does, their
case is hopeless. The most forlorn and
miserable women on earth belong to this
class. It belongs to parents to protect
their daughters from this deplorable
condition. They do them a great wrong
if they neglect it. Every daughter
should be taught to earn her own living.
The rich as welt as the poor require this
training. The wheel ot fortune rolls
swiftly around—the rich are very likely
to become poor and the poor rich.-
Skilled to labor is no disadvantage to
the rich and is indispensable to the
poor. —Well to do parents must educate
their daughters to work, no reform is
more imperative than this.
A prominent Requblican official recent
ly took tea with a lady in Worcester,
and after awhile, observing that he had
no teaspoon, exclaimed, “vVhy, Mr. ,
it isn’t possible that I forgot to give you
a spoon. I could not have made such a
mistake.” The functionary at once
arose, and, with the air ot a veteran, of
fered his pocket for investigation. The
lady said she didn’t mean that, and the
affair was dropped.
