THE REGISTER. CONYERS,OA., THURSDAY BEl’ 27, I*7<*. " 1 ■ ' - 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 ol the new materia'. 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 Pioneer. 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.
