Anew town is being laid out, eight miles above Atlanta, on the Air- Line Railroad, to be called Sibley named after the President of the road. There has been no rain in the fam ine stricken provinces of China for three years, and the sufferring there is appalling and knows no abate ment. Dr. J. C. Ayer, who died in Massa chusetts last Wednesday evening, left an estate worth from $15,000,000 to '20,000,000, all the result of adver- It is now positively stated that the peach crop in Delaware and Mary land will prove a most total failure. This should remind Southern farmers to look to the product of the orchards. A firm In Boston is turning out 8,000 cans or 24,000 pounds daily of codfish balls and baked beans, and find a large demand for both special tie in England, France, West Indies and South America. The wheat crop in Kentucky is being harvested very rapidly. The farmers report the grain as very fine, and the yield, which is nearly fifty per cent over ordinary years, is from 80 to 40 bushels per acre. A teirific storm raged in the Al legheny Valley, above Pittsburg, Pa., on Friday last, by which a vast amount of damage to property was done and many lives lot. A picuic party was struck by the storm and fifteen persons killed. A great ball will come off at the Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs on the 15th of August, for the benefit of the Lee Monument fund, and the company is expected to be larger and more brilliant than ever seen there before. With Tecumseh Sherman in a luna tic asylum, and his brother John in a penetentiary, the Atlanta Constitu tion thinks the country could lean on its elbows and look out at the back window in the serenity of per fect peace. There is enough whisky drank in this country every year to fill a canal eighty miles long, tour feet deep, and and fourteen wide. It would buy the poor of this country 230,000,000 barrels of Hour. It would build 000, 000 homes worth $2,500 each and give a Bible to every man on earth- Tin Western democrats are sound on finance. They desire treasury notes as a legal tender ; greenbacks as national bank notes, are opposed to contraction of currency, advocate expansion, according to l%e necessi ties of trade, demand taxation of bonds, approve remonetization of silver, and paper equal. Miss Eliza Maury, fourth daughter of the late Commodore Maury, has issued an address to the women of Virginia urging them to make a de termined eflort to redeem the finan cial honor of the state by organizing into local societies, and by making and soliciting contributions for the payment of the public debt. Beast Butler is making himself pe culiarly obnoxious to the moneycracy of New England by his efforts to arouse Communistic spirit in that r gion. In his Fourth of July speech a t Newburyport, he said that the men C* wealth, who toil and spin not, are a growing class in this country, and “a elass that ought to be squelched.” It is a little curious to notice that Germany has outstripped Ireland in the work of filling up the empty places in this country. The statistics of immigration for the last thirty years, compiled by Superintend ent Jackson show that those coun tries have furnished more th.an 2,000 000 immigrants each, but that Ger many is more than 100,000 ahead of Ireland. The Western farmers hope for good ret ults from the Congressional appropriation of SIO,OOO to investi gate the diseases of swine. The so called hog-cholera causes an estimated loss of $2,000,000 a year to the far mers of Missouri! and Illinois alone, and, though the Legislature of the foi '. ne r State offered a reward of for the discovery of a specific remedy for the disease, no such terawly has ever been dis covered. ; | *> , * The Arkansas .Democrats iiave i a platfonn containing among g-*, TANARUS( fiutiona favoring the linking of United States treasury hi - full legal tender ; favoring an expansion of the currency t° nieet the necessities of trade ; opposing a further L-ue of Uunited States bdnds and favoring taxation of those now out ; approving the remonetization of silver; and the law making gold, silver and paper dollars equal.

A child was strangled to death in a perambulator a fortnight ago in Lon don. Aunie Gignell, a nurse-maid in her fifteenth year, was wheeling a little boy four-and-a-half years old in Battersea Park, unconscious that anything was wrong, when a man named Rimington, who was passing, was struck by the child’s appearance. The child, an idiot, had a long white scarf tied round his neck; oue end of it got loose, and became entangled with the axle of the perambulator, being of course, pulled tighter and tighter as the wheel continued turn ing ; and so the helpless little victim was gradually but most effectually strangled. When seen by Riming ton he was black in the face, and he died in a few minutes after being set free from the innocent-looking coil which had proved so fatal. The scarf had been drawn so tight that it bad actually cut deep into the neck, and drawn blood. Catcliem and Clicatem. There were two lawyers in part nership, with the peculiary happy names of Catheui and Cheatem. People laughing at seeing these two names in jutaposition over the door, so the lawyers thought it advisable to separate them by the insertion of their Christian names. Mr. Catchem’s name was Isaac, Mr. Cheatum’s Uriah, Anew board vvas ordered ; but when sent to the painter it was found to be too short to admit the Christian names in full. The painter, therefore, put only the initials before the surnames, which made the matter worse than before, for they now appear : “I. Catehem and U. Cheatum,” Tennessee has received 2,900 north? ern settlers within the last 10 months. CARTERSYILLE, GA., THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 18, 1878. An Error Corrected. In the campaign of 1876, Judge Lester supported Col. Dabney for Congress against Dr. Felton, and the story was set afloat that Lester had voted for and supported a Radical, Cole, for Congress in 1868. He then published a denial, which we copy from the Rome Daily News, of Oct. 29, 1876. Judge Lester’s denial of the same story twice on the stump in the last few days has silenced those who have heard him: Messrs Editors:— Every now and then I hear of it being said that I '•'■bolted' 1 ' 1 the nomination of Gen. P. M. B. Young in 1868, and voted for Mr. Henry G. Cole, who wa3 a Re publican. I would let the matter pass unnoticed, if it w’ere not being repeated for the purpose of counter acting my humble influence in favor of Col. W. H. Dabney, and the in tegrity of the Democratic party in the Seventh Congressional District. Pending the Canvass in 1868 I could neither vote nor hold office, and I here assert that the man don’t live who ever heard me utter a word in faver of Mr. Cole in that campaign. I made speeches all through the district with with Col. Akin, Dr. Miller, Gen. Gordon, Gen. Wofford and others, and as none of us thought that Gen. Young would obtain a seat in Congress, if elected, and as Mr. Cole was an avowed supporter of Gen. .Gordon against Bullock, and was also openly against the ratifica tion of the constitution of Georgia, ihen before the people for ratification or rejection, the race between him and Gen. Y r oung was entirely ig nored by the speakers in the cam paign. This being so, it is to be hoped that none of Dr. Felton’s friends will repeat the story of my having bolted a nomination. Respectfully, Geo. N. Lester. CURRENT OPINION. The unanimous nomination of lion. George N. Lester, of Cobb, at Ringgold on Thursday, to represent the Seventh Congressional District in Congress, is a proof that the Democ racy of that District are determined to maintain the usages of the party, to preserve its organization and no longer submit to the dictation of an independent aspirant for Congress ional honors at the expense of the party which he ignores. Mr. Lester is a true Democrat, an able and pop ular man, and will no doubt receive the unanimous support of the true Democracy of the Seventh District. [Savannah News. The convention was one of the lar gest ever assembled in the district, every county being well represented. It adopted the majority rule, de nounced class legislation, demanded the repeal of the tax upon the issues of State banks, re-affirmed the prin ciples of the Democratic party, and rounded off its action with the unan imous nomination of Judge Geo. N. Lester. He will take a seat in the forty-sixth Congress.— Atlanta Consti tution. And says the Atlanta Constitu tion : You are right, Bill. When George—honest, blunt, genial George —shakes his gray hair at the “inde~ pendent” phantom and the boys see his empty sleeve dangling by his side, they will forget all the redicu lous stuff about “rings” and “trick sters.” And they will raise a whoop, Bill, as sure as your name is Arp. How can a convention swindle the people with such a man as George Lester? The fires of honesty, and integrity, and earnestness blaze in his eyes. He is good, and true, and noble, and brave. He is of the peo ple and for the people. We say his sleeve is empty, Bill, but it isn’t. It is chock full of the memories of the days of daring—the days of hope— the days of despair —the days of des olation and despair. It’s no use to talk, Bill, George is going through. There isn’t enough of history in ail the small politicians from Halifax and the Hebrides to convince the whole people that he is not the man to represen t the people. We shake hands with you in advance, Bill. We give the following paragraph trom a letter written by Judge A. R. Wright to Col. B. F. Sawyer, and published in the Rome Tribune: George N. Lester is a first rate man. I knew him when he was a poor young fellow just entering the strug gle of manhood. With wind and tide against him, and the wind some times blowing a storm, if not a cyclone, he has held the rudder and directed his course well and bravely. He belongs to that class of men who enlist every sympathy of my heart. He has never forgotten the great la boring classes from which he sprung. He will neither deceive nor desert them. There are few men more es timable and worthy iu all that makes true manhood. I have been an in mate with him for years, and regard him as one of my peisonal friends. Add to all this his heroism in the late war, and his genuine Christian qualities (for he belongs to that class of men who “walk by faith iu God”), and you can form some idea how hard it is lor me not to support him. The profits of the national banks during their existence has been sl,- 600,000,000 after paying all expenses, including princely salaries. Their capital stock, on wnich this profit was made, is $400,000,000. They have quadrupled their capital stock. They invested $4 and have received sl6 profit on it already. Where does this immense profit come from and who pays it? Oh go hewers of wood and drawers of water ! Nashville has nearly 5,000 attending the public schools. Hints on the Care of Health. 1. Diet. This should be pure and wholesome, and of a mixed character. It should also be moderate as to quantity and regular, allowing nei ther too long nor too short intervals between meals. 2. Exercise. Daily exercise is necessary to the enjoy ment of good health, and, if possi ble, should be taken where the air is pure and free from smoke and other impurities. The best forms of exer cise are walking, riding, rowing, etc. When out-door exercise Is impracti cable, the dumb bells may be advan tageously substituted. 3. Pure air. The thorough ventilation of the house or rooms we live in is another essen tial to health, and must on no ac count be neglected. Nothing is so conductive to sickness as hot and stuffy rooms; and this remark is es pecially applicable to the bedroom, which should be of sufficient size, permitting a free current of pure air to pass throudh it during the hours when it is not occupied. And here it may not be out of place to observe that it is not sufficient to open doors leading into passages or staircases, which may contain all the bad air of the house ; nether does it do to open windows looking into confined and impure places. Venttlation, to be of service, must permit of the exit of the bad air in such away that it can not re-enter, and of the admission of the pure air from the best source without. 4. Clothing. This should be comfortable only, too much wrap ping up being quite as prejudicial to health as too little. It should be adapted to the season of the year, and should always, in this country, in clude thick underslothiDgin the win ter and light for the summer; the feet also should be well protected by warm stockings and strong boots. The custom of placing thick layers of flannel on the chest in the form of a chest protector is very much to be deprecated, except in the case of really delicate people; 5. The bath. This is a valuable adjunct to health, and should be taken during the sum mer months, and with the chill ta ken off the balanee of the year. A warm soap and water bath should be taken at bed time once a week or once a fortnight ; or a Turkish bath may be enjoyed by those who can in dulge in the luxury, care being ta ken not to drive, but to walk briskly home afterwards, if the distance be not too great. 6, A calm tempera ment. Those who are so constituted, or who have sufficient command over themselves as to preserve this condition, have a valuable adjunct to health, as there is, perhaps, nothing so prejudicial in this age of over work, both of brain and body, as the worries and anxieties of every day life. The easy going, even-tempered man, must digest hisfood better, and is less affected by the daily wear and tear of life than the passionate, im petuous and impatient man, and will live longer. 7. Rest and amuse ment. These are essential to health ; hence the proverbs, “You cannot burn the candle at both ends,” and “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” The want of rest may endanger life; Jack’s dullness will end in sickness. For Fighting Husbands, Don’t think when you have won a wife that you have won a slave. Don’t think shat your wife has less feeling than your sweetheart. Her relationship to you issimply changed not her nature. Don’t think that you can dispense with all the little civilities of life to wards her you marry and that you have the right to get drunk and abuse her. She appreciates these things quite as much as other women. Don’t be gruff and rough at home. Had you been that sort of a fellow before marriage the probabilities are you would be sowing on your own buttons still. Don’t make your wifo think she is an encumbrance on you by giving grudgingly. What she needs give cherfully, as if it were a pleasure to do so. She will feel better, and so will you. Don’t meddle with affairs of the house under her charge. You have no more right to be poking your nose into the kitchen than she has to walk into your place of busiuess and give directions to your employees. Don’t find fault wikh her extrava gance in ribbons, etc., until you have shut down on cigars, tobacco, beer, whisky, etc. Don’t leave your wife at home to nurse the children on the score of economy, while you bolt at night to see the show or spend a dollar on billiards. Don’t bolt your supper and hurry off to spend your evenirgs lounging around away from your wife. Before marriage you couldn’t spend even ings enough with her. Don’t prowl in the loafing resorts until midnight, wasting your time in culpable idleness, leaving your wire lonely at home to brood over your neglect and her disappointment. Don’t think the woman you prom ised to “love, cherish and protect” becomes your servant as her part of the contract and that you are allow ed to take a brush to her without re sistance. Don’t think that board and clothes is a sufficient return for all that a wife does for you. Don’t expect a wife to love and honor you if you prove a brute un worthy of love and honor. Don’t caress your wife in public and snarl and growl at her In private. This proves you both a hypocrite and a dog. Don’t wonder that your wife is not as cheerful as she used to be, when she labors from early morn till late at night to pander to the comfort and caprice of a selfish pig who has not soul enough to appreciate her. FUNNY SPLASHES. A Harrisburg paper informs us that ‘when a gentleman and lady are ! walking upon the street, the lady should walk inside of the gentleman.’ A man in Newburg has invented au India rubber rolling pin that will roll out the dough very evenly, and yet bend to the head when it strikes. A woman was offerred a thousand dollars if she would remain silent two hours. At the end of fifteen minutes she asked, “Isn’t the time nearly up.” A countryman was shown More land’s "celebrated picture of “The Pigs.” “To be sure,” said he, “they be deadly like pigs; but there is one fault—nobody ever saw three pigs feeding together but what one on ’em had a foot in the trough.” While reading a few chapters in Noah Webster’s entertaining novel, we learn that when they enbalm a man thpy fill him up with aromntic spies. Now w T e know why a man eats' cloves—he’s embalming him self. Bill Arp says he first “sipped the heavenly juice in school-girl’s lips” up about Gainesville. He says. “I felt like Isaac when he kissed Re becca, and lifted up his voice and wept, and I can almost weep a thinkin’ about it now.” A soldier wrote to a Chicago pen sion lawyer to learn whether a man who had been kicked by a mule while in the service could secure a pension. The lawyer wrote that if the mule was feeling well and had a fair chance, he did not think he could. In one of the numerous empty sugar in front of a Wood bridge street store yesterday, a pedes trian observed a rat of a boy backing and crawling ahead and kicking out his heels, and thinking the lad might need help, he halted and looked in. The “scraper” had torn his shirt in several places on the nails, and was then struggling away from several others. “Boy* aren’t you in a bad fix,” asked the man. “Yes, kinder,” replied the lad, “but I guess the sugar wants a rest as bad as I do.” The man walked on, but, struck with a sudden thought, he returned and asked: “Say, boy, is there really any sugar there ?” “Not a bit,” replied the boy; “I’m just eating slivers to get the taste of quail on toast out of my mouth.” One little push would have sent the barrel rolling across the street, but the man had great self-control.

Seventy-five hundred dollars seems a good deal to pay for a wedding dress, but that was the actual sum paid by the Countess of Roseberry to the London dressmaking estab lishment that made the marselous costume. For the edification of the lady readers of the Bazar, we give a lechnial description of it. The dress, then, was of antique pearl white sat in, with deep flounces of the very finest point d’Alencon and fringes of fleurs d’orange3, and guirlauds of the latter beautifully arranged on the head, from which descended to meet the flounces, a veil of the richest point d’Alencon. The ensemble was perfect. The traveling costume was composed of a dress ol blue sapphire velvet, trimmed with blue fox fur, with pardessus aud muff and bonnet to match. The cost of the veil alone was $2,500. — Harper's Bazar. There is no longer any doubt that the grain crop this year will be the largest ever harvested in the United States. Kansas will be the banner State, and it is stated on the authori ty of careful and competent observ ers that fully 50,000,000 bushels of wheat will come to market from that State alone. That is about fifty per cent, above the largest yield hereto fore in any one State, California hav ing had the honor so far, with a crop of 30,000,000. The Indiana, Illinois and Ohio democrats through their respective state conventions, have announced that they are in favor of “the gradu al substitution of United States legal tender paper for national bank notes, and Its permanent establishment as the sole paper money of the country, made receivable for all dues to the government, and of equal tender with coin.” What Kills. In the school, as iu the world, far more rust than wear out. Study is tedious and wearisome to those who study least. Drones always have the hardest time. Giumblers make poor scholars,an 1 their lessons are uniform ly “hard aud too long.” The time and thought expended in shirking would be ample to master their tisks. Sloth, gormandizing, aud worry kill their thousands where over study harms one. A curse rests on laziness and gluttony. By the very constitution of our being they are fitted to begetj that torpor and despondency which chill the blood deaden the nerves, enfeeble the muscles and derange the whole vital machinery. Fretting, fidget ing, ennui , and anxiety are among the most common causes of disease. On the other hand, high aspiration and enthusiasm help di gestion and respiration, and send an increased supply of vital energy to all parts of the body. Courage and work invigorate the whole system, and lift one into a purer atmosphere, above the reach of contagion. The lazy groan most over their “arduous duties,” while earnest workers talk little about the exhausting labors of their profession. Of all creatures the sloth would seem to be the most wor and worn.
