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, FRESH MEATS. J. J. Head A W. P. Hood, Corner Fcuxdby and Oconee Stbeetb.

HEAD & CO. 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. IMZ-AJRZBXjIEI A. R.

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.
