INTERNAL REVENUE.
The Revenue Service of the Second
Georgia District.
Atlanta Constitution.]
The report of Mr. Clarke, internal
revenue collector for the 2nd district
of Georgia, covering a period of about
four years and a half, commencing
’October Ist, 1876, the time at which
he assumed the duties of the office,
anil ending the first of February of
this year, contains some statistics
which are of sufficient interest to
warrant their publication. The re
port has j use been made, and shows
that during the period named 781 il
licitdistilleries have been seized, and
about a million and a half gallons of
beer, etc., destroyed In addition to
this there have been seizures of 5,000
gallons of illicit spirits, 90 wagons,
132 mules and horses, and 50 oxen.
At the time at which Mr.Ciarke went
into office there were fifteen grain
distilleries running according to law.
Now there arre fifty one. There are
now employed in the service fifty
four storekeepers, sixteen deputies,
two guagers and two clerks. The
number of men engaged in the ser
vice will probably average about
eighty five. The district embraces
the mountainous portions of North
Georgia and pays the government
double what the other Georgia dis
tricts pay. It is divided into fifteen
sub-division which are presided over

Alexander H. Stephens said to Mr.
Hardacre: “I am very sorry about
the present stall in the Senate. The
democrats have bungled all through
this campaign, and have ac’ed indis
creelly since. My friend Hill has
given the finishing stroke. X regret
bis conduct; it was very injudicious.
What right had Mr. Hill to. question
or attack his peer? It was an ouK
rage: a species of Jacobinism. A
man is responsible only to his own
conscience, 1 oeiieve. Why, these
caucus measures, are ruinous. I will
not submit to them. I will do as I
think right at the time, no matter
\Vhat caucus, constituents or party
may say. Every man, I believe, has
that right. Mr. Hill’s speech was
very unwise. Who gave him the
right to catechise a fellow senator?
He has probably lost us everything.
Of course the committee would have
controlled the important committees,
but if the democrats had acted differ
ently we would have been given
given some good places in organiza
tion. Now, I suppose everything is
strangled.”
President Garfield has given notice
that the tost art of keeping cabinet
proceedings secret will be revived.'
The newspaper boys will have some
thing to say about it, however.
THE SORROWFUL MAN FROM
COLUMBUS..
At the Union depot the other
morning, Officer Button observed a
tall long-legged stranger, who seem
ed to be clothed mostly in a linen
duster, wipe his eyes and blow his
nose like one suffering mental dis
tress, and he approached and asked
the cause.
“Oh, lots of things,” replied the
man as he shook out his handker
chief. “Is there a camp meeting
anywhere around here?”
“Not that I know of.”
“And they don’t have any prayer
meetings here in the day time?”
“No.”
“There isn’t anybody around the
depot who makes a specialty of
iaging Gospel hyms, is there?”
“Don’t know of anybody. Has
your wife run away ?”
“No; I never had one.”
“Lost your wallet?”
“No; I never carry a wallet.”
“Anybody abused yeu ?”
“No; everybody is very kind to
me.”
“Then why this sorrow and these
tears? Strong men do not v*eep with
out strong cause.”
“I weep—l weep because the world
is cold—because it is wicked—because
human nature has become suspicious.
I weep, because another sun has risen
on the evil passions of men.”
“Are you naturally sorrowful?”
“I am. I sometimes wish I wasn’t
that way. How long before the Lake
Shore train goes?”
“About twelve minutes.”
“Then I will spend eleven minutes
in further weep. Have you a pri
vate room in which I can sit and
cry?”
“Say, old man, what’s your lay!
asked the officer after looking him
over.
“My lay is weeping. lam the sor
rowful man from Columbus.”
“That’s two thin. What’s the par
ticular racket this morning?”
“Won’t you give me away?” asked
the man after a fresh dig at his
eyes.
“No.”
“I’m dead broke and I want to get
to Toledo. The conductor who goes
out on the train stands over there,
and I’m weeping f>r h s benefit. He
has always remarked my grief, and
he wonders what ails me. When he
asks for my ticket I’ll either be a
missionary who weeps at. the avarice
(J railroad corporations and anneal
to his charity, or a country parson,
who lost his money oo theconfidenc
game. Now le: me weep some
more.”
He wept some more, and “aid :
“It’s the best lay in the world. L’s
a hundred times ahead of cheek or
riding on the springs, and it costs
me nothing and is always ready. I
cried my way from Columbus to In-*
dianapolis, wept from there to Chi
cago, and then sobbed myself a ; ODg
to Detroit. I now weep that I may
*ee Toledo, and I shall depend upon
tin lion to scoot me through to Co
lumbus in good style. I wdl now
edge along towards the conductor
and give way to an extra burst of
mingled grief and contrition. Ta-ta,
old blue c mt—don’t give away a
man who couldn’t raise a nickel if
his eyes should give out to morrow!”
It is related that on the occasion of
a large party, Mrs. Chase Sprague
sent for her coachman and told him,
that she expected him either to open
the door or assist in the cloak room.
The coachman impudently answered
that he was hired to drive the horses
atfid not help in the house. “Very
well,” said Mrs. Sprague, “have my
carriage at the door at 8 o’clock.”
At 8 o’clock.” At 8 the carriage
drove up. “Blanket the horses and
wait until I send further word.”
From 8 o’dock of a chill win ter even
ing until 2 o’clock of a colder morn
ing the coachman sat with stiffening
arms on his box, and when the last
guest had gone?, his orders came to
drive to the stable.
Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, the great Bap
tist preacher of London, is very ill
with a complication of diseases. He
has been a marvel of pulpit ability
and physical strength, and his labor
fur twenty years past would have
killed twenty ordinary preachers dur
; ing that time.
There seems to baa general decline
in European monarchs. The King
of Sweden is now' supposed to *be
stricken with pulmonary consump
tions. Grim death doesn’t seem to
have any greater regard for royalty
1 than for plebeians.
TOILET RECIPES.
Hair Invigorator.—A wash to
stimulate the growth of hair in case
of baldness is made from equal parts
of the tincture of sulphur of quinine
—five grains in an ounedof alcohol.
For those who will use hair oil, pure
sperm oil of the very finest quality,
is the best. This must be procured
in proper freshness and cannot fail
being a powerful hair invigorator.
To Remove Wrinkles —Put pie
ces of court-plaster on the face where
the wrinkles are inclined to come,
just before going to bed, and remove
in the morning. Ttie plaster con
tracts the skin and >revents its sink
ing into creases and lines. It also
protects and softens the skin. Warm
water should always be used to
wash the face in, as it keeps off
wrinkles.
Harmless Face Powders.—
Rice powder, though expensive, is
warranted perfectly harmless. Re
fined chalk is the safest thing to use,
and costs far less than if put up under
some other name and sold in boxes.
Cascarilla powder is much used by
Cuban ladies, and is considered
harmless. Wash the face with'thick
suds from glycerint soap, and, when
dry, dust on the powder with a puff
or piece of chamois skin.
To Strengthen the Hair — A
solution of burdock tea will strength
en the hair as will also sage tea.
The following is also highly recom
mended : One pound of yellow dock
root, boiled in five pints of water
till reduced to one pint ; strain and
add an ounce of pulverized borax,
half an ounce of coarse salt,' three
ounces of sweet oil and a pint of New
Ei.gland rum ; a quarter of an ounce
of oil of lavender and ten grains of
ambergris will perfume this nicely.
Use the burdock tea two or three
times a day at first; after a while
once a day will be sufficient. Sham
pooing the head once a day with
cold w T ater will also have a benefit
cial effect.
Hair Restorative A powerful
tesloratlve for the hair is half an
ounce of oil of mace in a pint of de
odorized alcohol. Pour a spoonful
or two into a saucer; dip a small
stiff brush into it, and brush the hair
smartly, rubbing the tincture well
into he roots. On bald spots, if hair
will start at all, if may be snmul
ed by friction with a piece of flannel
till (he skin look-, red and rubbing
the tincture info the scalp. This pro
cess must be repealed three times a
diy for weeks. When the him be
gins to grow, apply the tincture once
a day till the gro-vtJh is well es'ab
iisheci, bathing she head in e Id
ter ev< ry morning .and briskly' brush
ing it to bring the blond to the sur*
face.
AN UNPOPULAR MAN.
Bill collectors, who are ordy doing
their dut.v and trying to make other
men become honest and pay their
just debts, have a hard time of if.
Everybody thinks it his right to
snub the bill collector. Poor fellow !
he is perpetually trying to catch sight
of the man who has just gone around
the cornel, who will be back in five
minutes, so the clerk says, but who
niver comes back until the old bill
collector has gone. It is on record
that by some strange fatuity of for
tune a collector once found bis debt
or at home. Such a circumstance
nearly took his breath away, for, like
the wandering Jew, he had been fly
iug from pillar to post for nearly a
year, and had never at once found
the right man in the right place; but
he took out his battered wallet and
presented the account, yellow with
age, and humbly asked for a settle
ment. “You must call again,” was
the stern, imperative demand of the
man, who never intended to have
money enough to pay that bill. The
victim with the tread bare clothes
and the worn-out shoes suggested
that it was not easy to go % up three
flights of stairs three times a day in
order to find the ominous word
“out” on the office door: “Well,”
said the haughty debtor, “perhaps
you would like to have me rent a
room on the first floor for the sake of
my creditors. The old bill collector
uttered a deep sigh, put his wallet
back into his pocket, and
into a back alley where his home
was, while the jaunty debtor aprtn g
into his landau and went up to the
park for a drive. Such is life.
William H. English has been sued
by a lady living in one of his blocks
at Indianapolis, who claims $lO 000
damages for i jil ies on a defective
Stairway.
A MERCHANT’S CAREER.
A few years ago a large drug firm
advertised for a boy. The Dext day
the store was thronged with appli
cants, among them a queer looking
little fellow, accompanied by a wo**
man, who proved to be his aunt, in
lieu of fatherless parents, by whom
he had been abandoned. Looking
at this little waif, the merchant in
the store said: “Can’t take him;
places all full; besides he. is too
small.” “I know he is small,” said
the woman, “but he is willing and
faithful.” There was a twinkle in
the boy’s eye which made the mer
chant think again. A partner in the
firm volunteered to remark that he
did not see that they wanted such a
boy—-he wasn’t bigger thau a pint of
cider. But after consultation the boy
was sent to work. A few days later
a call was made on the uoys in the
store for some one to stay all night.
The prompt response of the little fel
low contrasted with the reluc
tance of others. In the middle of
the night the merchant looked in to
see if all was right in the store, and
presently discovered his youthful
protege busy scissoring labels.” What
are you doing?” said he. “I did
not tell you to work nights.” “I
know you did not tell me so, but I
thought I might as well be doing
something.” In the morning the
cashier got orders to “double that
boy’s wages, for he Is willing.” Only
a few weeks elapsed before a show of
wild beasts passed through the streets,
and very naturally, all hands in the
store rushed to witness the spectacle.
A thief saw his opportunity, and en
tered the rear door to seize something
but in a twinkling found himself
firmly clutched by the diminutive
clerk aforesaid, and, after a struggle,
was captured. Not only a robbery
was prevented, but valuable articles
taken from other stores were recov
ered. When asked by the merchant
why he stayed behind to watch when
all others quit their work,he replied:
“You told me never to leave the
store when others were absent, and I
thought I’d stay.” Orders were im
mediately given once more—“double
that boy’s wages, for he is willing
and faithiul ” To-day that boy is
getting $2,500, and next January he
will become a member of thr firm.
SARDINES.
These funny lirtle creatures are
caught, in nets and after being well
wan bed, the heads are cut off and the
fish are .1 prin It led lightly with salt.
\fler lying for a few hours, they are
placed on girds, in rows almost per
pendicular. The frames are then
placed if.- pans containing burning
live oil The oil is changed as soon
as it bee >mes too black and dirty for
continuing the cooking process. As
soon as the fish are considered suffi
ciently cooked they are withdrawn
from the pans of oil, arid girds are
placed on 'he tables inclining toward
a groove in the centre. The oil is
thus carried to a vessel prepared to
receive it. Around the stand
the women whose business it is to
place (he fish closely and uniformly
in boxes. The boxes being full, the
fish are covered with fresh oil, and
the lids are then soldered down.
Thus hermetically sealed they are
placed in iron baskets and immersed
in boiling water. The smaller boxes
are thus boiled for half an hour and
the larger ones somewhat longer, in
proportion to siz f * of box. The fLh
are then ready for the market, and
being packed in cases, are sent to the
ends of the earth.
Mrs. He well Cobb, of Alabama, is
one of the brightest ladies in the
country; and many an old Washing
toniad, of ante bellum times recalls
her sparkling wit. Some time ago,
Hon. H. M. Lowe, the member from
the Huntsville district, was making
a political speech in that city, and,
being a thorough greenbacker, se
verely criticised the financial policies
