THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: NOVEMBER 27, 18/-.
CLARA MORRIS.
Her Extraordinary Klfrct Upon a Congressional Au
dience.
Donn Piatt gives the following sketch
of a part of Clara Morris’ audience in
Washington: Blaine — impulsive,
liindhcartcd, magnetic Blaine—cried
outright, with an abandon that actually
indicated enjoyment of the relief.
Dawes - the Dodger Dawes—will you
believe it? actually put his arms, that
he generally keeps in the Treasury,
about the r.eck of old swallow tailed
Hamlin, ndown whose aged rose the
tears were falling, and said : “ Ilam,
The Northeastern Bonds.
The past season'has demonstrated
the necessity to this city and to the
people of Northeast Georgia of a
quick and easy railway communica
tion with that fruitful section and
this excellent market. The absolute
necessity for the completion of the
Northeastern Railroad becomes daily
more apparent. Only the endorse
ment of the bonds of the company
bv the Governor is needed to assure
this great enterprise. Doubtless,
tii 'ie has been wisdom in a proper
delay of this action, in order that all
the considerations, pro and con,

my friend, let us be better men.” . , , , , ,
“ Dawes,” tesponded Hamlin, “ let’s- m, S ht be heard i bnt the ' vwdom and
I feel as if I had religion, don’t you ?” I soa,ld j ,,d S ment of tbe most care,ul
“Can’t say, Ham, I never had any; statesmen in Georgia have been found
but I’ll get some.” Senator Davis,
the three hundred pounds of Senatorial
adipose, kept one in doubt as to where
the perspiration ended and the - tears
began. Incredible as it may seem,
he appeared to be weeping all over.
But by far the most impressive
spectacle was a group of Southern
men one night, who gave way to their
emotions with an abandon that is
delightful to look upon. “ Gentle
men,’’ cried Lamar, gazing out with
gloomy, abstracted look, that im-
pressss one with the belief that he is
in the dim distance of a dark future,
and secs darkly “ the chariot of Ga
briel a coming, with four white horses
and a rusher in the lead,” to tote his
soul to the further hanks of Jordan
—*• Gentlemen, that is eloquence
personified.’’ " It must be,” res
ponded Hill, wiping his eyes, and
then gazing curiously at his handker
chief, “ for I believe I shed a tear.
She reminds me of an effect I once
produced.” “If anyone daresay
she is not the greatest of all actors,’*
cried Joe Blackburn, “ I’ll shoot him
on the spot.” Joe did not say what
spot, whether the seven or the ace,
bnt no one doubted his sincerity, for,
by quoting Stanton, as rendered by
Dix, he proved the intense excite
ment under which he labored.
Oconee Cemetery.
[From N. Y. Casket.]
Athens, Ga., Oct. 10, 1877.
Dear Casket—In obedience to
your call for descriptions of noted
cemeteries, I hasten to write and ask
a p’ace in yonr valuable columns for
our beautiful burying ground. Oco
nee Cemetery is located in the sub
urbs of the city of Athens, Ga. It
encloses about fifty acres, and is prin
cipally built on a high, commanding
hill, which majestically overlooks the
waters of the beautiful and pictur
esque Oconee, which flows quietly by
its base. The model cemetery very
obviously takes its name from the
Oconee river, which half encircles its
boundary.
The superintendant, Mr. Robert
Chappie, is an Englishman, and a
gentleman of the first order, and to
his preserving and systematic efforts,
is due the high reputation which
Oconee cemetery holds to-day among
the cemeteries of Georgia. The pe
culiarity ftf the site, undulating ground
and surroundings, together with the
elegant trees and shrubbery, lends to
the view a picturesqueness which
uever fails to strike the beholder with
admiration and awe. -
We have here matiy fine monu
ments and marble vaults, which will
compare favorably with any in the
State. The large Gothic marble
vault and monument of Richard Tay
lor., Esq., is a master-piece of art, and
Is said to have cost $15,000. The
vaults of Messrs. A. P. Dearing, 8.
Baylie and Col. Nathaniel Hunter
are also costly structures. The mag
nificent monuments of Col. Stevens
Thomas, Geb. Wm. M. Browne, Col.
H. C. Billups, ex-Chief Justice Lump
kin, and the one lately erected over
the remains of George Whens . , the
merchant prims of At Center his
surviving partner, Mr. K. K. Reaves,
are all works of art second to none in
the State. Athens may well be firoud
cf tbe high reputation that her ceme
tery bears, and doubly so, as some of
the noblest sons cf Georgia lie en
tombed within its sacred precincts.
. Very truly, W, L. Wood,
. _ Undertaker.
m harmony with the arg-iments
favorable to the endorsement, and
the Governor, we feel sure, will not
much longer defer his favorable action
upon the clearly just request of the
company.
State aid in the abstract and clear,
full justice in the concrete, are two
very different matters. The people
of North Georgia are entitled to their
railroad connection; the railroad
company has operated and contracted
thus far upon what it accepted as the
bona fide guarantee of the State;
and the supporters of the project rely
with confidence upon the indubitable
and substantial equities of their case.
Governor Colquitt, we know, will do
whatever appears to him right and
just, but we feel that he cannot
longer remain in doubt upon this
matter. The patriotism, justice and
fail- dealing of the State would be
well-supported by bis endorsement of
these bonds, and the people, who are
to be charged with the burden,
would applaud the righteous action.
They already consider themselves
bound for this aid to their hitherto
neglected fellow-citizens, and are
ready to have equity done between
parties.
As this matter now stands, no just
and tenable reason can be advanced
why favorable action should not be
at once had. The interests of a large
portion of Georgia are suffering, and
we unhesitatingly dee»are that Gov.
Colquitt could do nothing more just
than to quickly perform tliis act of
right dealing and equity to the people
of North Georgia.—Atlanta Consti
tution.

Supposed Discovery of the
Tomb of David.
A letter has just been received
from Professor Osborn, of Oxford,
Ohio, written from Jerusalem, giving
details of a visit to the tomb of David
The writer, Doctor de Haas, United
States Consul at that place, says that
the visit was made during the recent
Passover.
The building is about five hundred
feet south of the Lion Gate, itself the
most southern gate of Jerusalem. It
has long beeu known as the tomb of
David, and contains an upper cham
ber where, according to tradition,
the Lord’s Supper was instituted
The building has massive foundations,
and the “ upper room’’ is constructed
with heavy grioned arches.
The so-called tomb is made of
marble and porphyry, covered with
a pall of embroidered cloth, with the
Arabic letters in gold, “ Oh, David I
verily, thou art a sovereign prince in
all the earth.” Professor Osborn
says that the tomb was visited by a
lady whom he met in Jerusalem some
years ago, and with much the same
results as to observations, except that
Doctor do Haas has discovered a door
walled up, leading from the crypt
containing the tomb. This walled-np
way is supposed to lead to the actual
tombs of the kings, and the so-called
tomb is only a cenotaph.
Some time ago a plan, made by a
Turkish architect, of the tombs at
Hebron Mosque, was obtained and
published by Professor Osborn, in
his geographic notices of the city,
the accuracy of which was testified to
by Dean Stanley in his account of
the visit of the Prince of Wales.
In this latter place of the Hebron
tombs is also a closed subterranean
passage, and the inference is, that in
both places, the true tomb, and prob
ably tho actual remains of the kings
and patriarchs, at this tomb of David
and at Hebron, are yet nnbroken
having never been visited in the
cavernous sepulchres. Here is work
to be performed, in opening these
tombs, which will create a sensation
in the archaeological world nnequaled
by anything discovered at Troy or
Mycenae.
