We called at the marble yard of
Mr. Robertson last, week, and in
looking through his stock of marble
and granite, our attention was called
to -a fine mdmum-nt which needs
special mention. The monument in
question will be placed over the grave
of Zacl ariah .H Clark, deceased, of
Oglethorpe county, and is as fine a
piece of workmanship as we ever saw,
and reflects great credit on Mr. Robert
son as a mager of hi*, profession. The
finishing of the marble and the let
tering thereon, wo doubt, \f it could
be excelled anywhere in the South,
or even in the North. When com

Italian marble, and well fin shed. On

Col. Whidby, President of the
State Sunday School, who sjient three
or four delightful days in our midst,
pays the following compliment to the
city and our citizens in the last num
ber of the Sunny South :
The State Sunday School Conven
tion met in the city of Athens on the
24th, 25tli and 26th of August. The
meeting was the best ever held in
the State. The citizens of Athens
were a unit in extending to the mem
bers of the Convention the most gen
erous hospitality. Large audiences
governed by superb order greeted all
the exercises of the Convention, It
is gratifying to know that the Con
vention proved to be to the delegates
.md the citizens of the place, a source
of spiritual strength, and a spiritual
fe&9t.
Athens is noted as the seat of cul
ture, refinement and science, through
out the South. To this, the writer
can add, from personal experience,
the citizens arc characterized by a
broad catholic Christianity, and
warm-heai ted hospitality.
We learned from a well-informed
citizen that real estate lias suffered
NeatnemAt Home.
Most young girls now-a-days, desire
*o marry riett hush .mis, and in view
of that pleasant destiny, neglect to fit
themselves tor the humbler walks of
life.
In this country, we admit that girls
are sometimes brought up with an idea
of work, and with steady, good-looking
industrious young men, who will be
compelled to earn by severe labor the
subsistence ot hiniselt and family.
But village aud city gills rarely
cheerisli such slow ideas.
From the highest to the lowest class
in life, the prevailing idea with all is
that marriage is to lift them, at once,
above all necessity for exertion, and
even the servant girl dresses and rea
sons as if she entertained a romantic
confidence in her Cindiralla-iike desti'
ny of roarryiug, if not a prince,
wealthy man at least
It is because girls cherub these ideas
that young men are afraid to marry.
The young women they meet with
are also imbued- with notions of mar
riage so utterly incompartiblc with the
ordinary relations of life in their sta
tions, they are wholly inexperienced in
the economy of household; they have
been themselves a “ noble disdain” for
all kinds of family industry; they
have required such expectations of
lady-like ease and elegance in the
matrimonial connection, that to wed
any one of them is to secure a life long
lease of domistic unpleasantness and
purchase wretchedness, poverty and
dispair. .

During our late visit to Jefferson,

In onr observation, two such strange

Martin Institute is left in a neglected
condition in one sense. There should
be an enclosure about it. During

We ^wbiild not be presumptiou* in
our suggestions, but would it not be
well for those in charge, the Board of
Trustees to protect it from such in

have never ceased to pay IU per cent

terest have never exceeded 13 per

who sell over a million dollars worth
of goods annually.
The city abounds in magnificent
residences, and beautiful points. A

Uow Do Facto Hayes Hopes to Sare Jnderson
and Well-..
W ashington, September 2.—E. A.
Burke, of New Orleans, who man
aged the Democratic campaign in
that city, aud had charge of some of
the details of the Democrase case
before the Senate and House Inves
tigating Committee, has recently
been in this city several days Bnrke
was one of the parties to the famous
conference at Worndey’s Hotel in
this city just before the completion of
the electoral count, at which Sena
tor Gcrdon, and Ellis and Levy,
two Democratic Representatives from
Louisiana, met; Stanley Matthew*
James A. Garfield, and other Hayes
Republicans, to obtain front them an
understanding as to what coarse
Hayes would pursue towards Louis
iana and South Carolina if lie was
counted in. An agreement,was made
ini writing; and entrusted to Bi rke
i The abandonment of Packard and. thi
recognition of the J^ichohs govern
ment. was in accordance U(ith thi:
agreement, and Burke acted in con
cert with the Wayne-McVeagh
Commission, which was sent to NeV
Orleans to assist the Deni- icrats in
capturiug enough Packard members
of the Legislature to make a quorum
of returning board legislators, and
thus enable the commissioner* to re
port to the President that there was
bnt one legal Legislature in LonisL.ua;
and that that body recognized Nicholls
as the legally elected Governor.
Burke is not a native of Louisiana^
but went to New Orleans d.ii-iitg the
corrupt Wariuotb reg.nu, uiU held
pleased to term the Bourbon faotion
of the Democratic party.
The MauVeagh Commission was
constantly assured by such fellows as
Burke and Jack Wharton that if the
Administration would abandon the
Packard Republicans, a split in the
Democratic party would naturally
occur before another general election
was held, and that a Liberal party
would be organized whioh would
take off enough of the lower class of
Democrats to give them, in connect
tion with the negro voters, control of
the city; and witlt a preponderating
negro vote in the districts, this new
or administration party would be able
to carry the State. The appointment •
of Jack Wharton to be United 8tates
Marshal was in accordance with this
programme. Bnrke still claims to be
in full accord with tho Democrats,
and announced, when here a few days
ago, that he would manage Judge
Spofford’s case this fall before the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections; but, at the same time, he
had interviews with the President
and his friends, and assured them that
all was working well in Louisiana.
Among other things, he told the de
facto President a most welcome piece
of news, if it only proves true. He
said that tho prosecution of Wells
and Anderson would not be pushed,
because an arrangement had been
made by which the witnesses, who
were to prove that the forgeries in
the returns from Vernon parish were
made by tho order of Wells, would
not testify. Wells and Anderson
could not be made ont, and the At
torney General would bo compelled
to enter nolle prosequies in their
cases. Ho was asked whether or not
there were not other witnesses in
New Orleans who could prove still
more than the forgeries in the Ver
non parish return*, and he admitted
that there were a score of men who
had manufactured the testimony for
the visiting statesmen and t^e return
ing board, and he advised that these
fellows be taken care of, as Wells
and Anderson demanded, by dismiss
ing the Herwig crowd from the Cus
tom H use and giving the dangerous
gang their places Ihus strongly re
enforced, the demands ot Wells and
Anderson will, of coarse, be respected.
Indeed, Sherman never thought of
not responding to the demands of
the ex-President makers, but he
wanted the pressure to be great so
that he would not havo to insist that
the discharges should be made in the
face of tho civil service role*. Just
bow i *he programme which was
reed npon will be carried out, is
‘ Vnowu yrt$ course, there
be a cunimisdon. Hayes does
nothing without a commission.
