[ Special Correspondence Gkokgun.]
Macon, Oet 6, 1876.
Elitor Georgian, Sir:—'The pen
sive little mosquito has at last, with
his aecostonied complacence and
sweet lullahy. betaken himself from
our wistful ears and retired to his
long winter’s nap. Wo can
take our pen after the protracted war
l 'd the first thought, that occurs to
s is, “ let us have peace,” bo* “ let
o mosquito escape.” TV country
i notv alive with politics and politi-
lians, and as this is the all absord-
g theme, we suppose we had as
ell go along with the popular cur-
nit.
Georgia has certainly acted wisely
1 returning the “.veterans of’76”
Congress; and old Bibbs on last
aturday acquitted herself in her
sually becoming style. Ex-Speaker
laeon, Col, L. N. Whittle and Mr.
V. A. Davis were elected to.the
legislature from this county. The
:irst and second are too well known
o need any comments at our hands.
L'iie third is a young man, a farmer
tnd it is said will “make his mark.’’
It is sufficient for him that he is a
Democratic nominee.
The reports of yellow fever front
Brunswick are truly distressing. It
was reported the other day that out
of a remaining population of one
thousand, six hundred were down
with the fever. The condition of
this city seems to bo much more dis
tressing than that of Savannah, and
she is sadly in need of all the alms
that can be spared by her sister
cities. Macon is filled with refugees
from Savannah and Brunswick.
Sonic will remain permanently.
There have been some deaths here
from yellow fever But were all im
ported cases. The health of Macon,
though uniformly fine, was never
known to be better than now. The
mortality in this city has not aver
aged more than five deaths per
,veek this summer. When a Maconite
lays anything to an Athenian about
.he health of Macon, the infatuated
;itizen of thu classic borough, holds
up his hands in holy horror at the
mere idea of Macon’s making any
pretence toward health. There im
mediately appear before their strong
but deluded imaginations, terribl e
visions of chills and fever, of car-loads
of quinine pills and of shaking a
body’s house down on him, and then
shaking it off, of shaking the blanket,
or blankets more probably, into every
individual atom of which they are
composed. All these he paints to
himself in vivid colors. 1 tell you
now that chills and fever is as rare
here as any other disease. I guess
you will be surprised ifl tell you that
Mncon is, with one exception, the
healthiest city in the United States,
and that city, the name of which all
have forgotten, is one situated in
Illinois, and the said fact wo can
prove by statistics.
We suppose Athens is beginning
to look lively again, as the time for
the opening of the University approa
ches. We bespeak for our grand
old Alma Mater a full attendance
and a prosperous future, for spine of
the pleasantest recollections of ohr
childhood are inseparably connect
ed with our short stay iu her matri
monial lap. We will watch with
earnestness and anxiety the young
they toil with answering fidelity in
the cause of Minerva, or cling with
deathlike tenacity to the cause of
cupid. But, Messrs. Editors, advise
the “ voting idea coolly and calmly
and mildly, like a father.” Tell him
to beware of those “ irresistable
eyes, that winning smile and lovely
face.” Remind him' of that little
bubble so popular with the poets,
which when lie think he hath, he hath
i&L And above all tell him to be
ware of that immortal two, Lieut.
Culp, Capt. Davis and Dr. Browning.
Whisper gently tb them now as of old,
Dr., “the winged messenger” of
Judge Thomas, did ono day meet
two small boys and gave them each
a bit of paper and they did
greatly. But, however, oi
entitled 1“ Advice to the Yoj^» n with

nify failed. That it is neither short

well put an end to your troubles, by
announcing that we have just this
minute shuffied off the last coil.

GEORGIAN: OCTOBER 17, 1876.
Good Resolutions.
Persons of gentle and yielding dis
positions are startled when they
come in contact with a rugged nature
and iron will. For there are those
giants of humanity who shape their
resolves as the furnace and trip ham
mer shape masses of metal. They
bear down all opposition, compelling
weaker spirits into compliance. Yet
the power and tenacity of purpose
that surprise temperaments of a finer
and frailer mould do not belong ex
clusively to the hold and the great,
for even the most unobstrusive per-
sons are capable of it at times. It is
a trait of character in men to form
their resolutions with fervor and im
petuosity; but the milder and quieter
spirit of woman comes silently and
almost unconsciously to determina
tions that are not shaken or altered
by the wear and tear of even a whole
lifetime. Man is gifted with strength,
woman with endurance. The difficul
ty for dispositions of average power
and perseverance is found, not so
much in coming to a resolution of
sufficient intensity, but in keeping it
for any length of time. The smooth
water of aii Alpine fountain may be
frozen into a mass as hard, apparently,
as glass; but the hot rays of summer
soften it until it yields gradually and
at length finally melts away alto
gether. Bad habits take a longtime
to form, and they cannot be thrown
off without exertion. jiTli£ good habit
which replaces them can only be
formed by a repetition of good acts.
Drops of water filling from the roof
of a cave, form, in the course of time,
a stalactite, bright and strong to 1 e-
hold. The process, though of this
wonderful formation, is slow aud
barely perceptible. So do single
small acts of our will form themselves
by repetition iuto lasting and un
shaken habits.

is curious animals. They don’t have
no nose, nor no teeth, nor no ears.
They swaller their wittles whole and
chaw it up in their crops inside of
’em. Tho outside of hens is gener
ally put inter pillers and made inter

is sometimes filled up with marbles
and shirt-bnttons and sich. A hen is
very much smaller than a good
many other animals, hut they’ll dig
up more tomato plants than anything
that ain’t a lien. Hens is very use
ful to lay eggs for plum-pudding.
But yer life I like plum-pudding.
Skinny Bates eat so much plum
pudding once that it set him inter

can fly when they are senrt. I cut
my Uncle William’s hen’s neck off
with a 'hatchet and it seart her to

fine spring chickens.
Truth. — How beautiful is truth!
In this world where there is so
much falsehood and deceit, whereby
hearts arc estranged, and recrimina
tions, assaults and crimes engendered
—how beautiful are true words and
deeds. Like the sun, smiling out
a raid the angry storm—like the
wight stars shining through the
heavy cloud—like friend clasping the
baud ot friend—like right rebutting
wrong—like the lance of virtue ring
ing on the shield of vice—like heavj
en upon earth, nnd God iu man, is
truth! Precious and priceless. Dear
er than the smile of friend, love of
parent, or pomp of tame. Truth is
all. By this we know the nature
and value of things. Falsehood is a
craven, a dastard. Truth is bold,
noble and God-given—beyond every
other attribute of tho soul.—RalL
