There is no political news of spe
cial importance this week. The
Democrats, it is said, arc not relying
on the vote given by the delegate
from Oregon to elect Gov. Ti'dcn,
but insist that only two votes can be
c muted irom that State for Gover-
Hayes. The Democratic parly say
they will be able to show that Flori
da and Louisiana both voted for Til
den and that lie is honestly and fairly
entitled to the electoral votes from
those States.
There have been several cal's for
Stale meeting in the Western Sta es
to express the voice of the people iu
1 elation to the late election—one
held at Sp'ingficld, 111., on the 2itli
inst. There is a call for one on the
Bth of January in Indiana.
lion. B. 11. Hill has written a letter
to Col. Culberson, of Atlanta, and
asks him to have it published ex
plaining his views on the “situation.”
He says ho has been charged with
having distrust in the Northern
Democrats. “Met n single wm-J
publish 6 : . tl bjeet
says that the charge that !•<.. at
other Southern men have lost faith in
the election of Mr. Tilden “and have
made, or are making, or are willing
to make some bargain or trade with
Air. Ilaycs. AH intimations of the
kind are simply manufactured—manu
factured by sensational hirelings for
Republican use and benefit.” He
says, “the political situation was
never more critical than at present.”
We saw no explanation of the inter
view with the reporter of the New
York nerald. He over’ooked that it
seems, doubtless in the hurry of busD
ncss.
Since the above was written, we
have received the following dispatch
irom the Daily Telegraph, of the 27th
nst:
FLORIDA.

Tallahassee, Fla. ; Dec. 20.
Gov. Stearns says that the decision
of the Supreme Court settles the
election question in this State, aud
he has advised the Canvassing board
to obey the orders of the Court. Sec
ctary of Slate, Mclinn, has notified
the other members r of the Board to
meet in his office as eleven o'clock
to-morrow, to canvass according to
the Court’s mandate.
An apparent well-founded ru
mor is afloat this morning, that in
structions have been telegraphed,
here from Washington, to disregard
the orders of the Court: Whether
there is truth in this or not, it is
not problc the board will regard
them.
The Senate Committee concluded
their labor here and left for Jackson

Church,on his way to Milledgevillc.to

from Cartorsvillo, was arrested in At
lanta on Tuesday, charged with
stealing an overcoat, A young man
named Worley stated that his oat
coat wo taken from his scat in the
car, that ho asked Smith, among
others, concerning it. but could get
no inforaarion, and that when the
train arrived at Atlanta he found it
among the baggage of Smith checked

was trying to bunt up the owner.

COLOR OF THE EVES.
Blue eyes lmvc over received more
admiration than they deserve. Phi
losophers have fallen in love with
them, and poets have sung their
praises from time immcmoi ini. But
the wisest men do foolish things, and
“eye’’ and “sky" make £a pretty
rhyme. Still, blue eyes arc beautiful
The Beatrice whom Dante has im
mortalized must have possessed
them ; and also that other Beatrice
whose sad story has never grown old,
and whose beauty lias enslaved the
fancy of the painter since the days of
Guido. It is fabled that the soul of
Psyche looked through blue eyes, and
that they played their part iu her
victory over Cupid.
Gray eyes are often called the in
dex of a cold and selfish heart. The
business men have them ; and the
husband of a grey-eyed woman is not
afraid to invite his friends home to
diuner. Some grey eyes have com
manded the homage of a nation ; and
their memory lias big-red long after
they were closed in that sleep that
knows no waking. Such were the
eyes of Mary, Queen of Scots; and
eyes like these were instrumental
in bringing Pericles to the feet of As
pasia. Other grey eyes there are,
not wanting in beauty, but cruel as
death. It is easy to imagine that
scc v eyes stabbed the victims of Nero
. j v;aP vaie dc Med eis as surely
■ • ,u •he filial stiiletto.rj
Many brown eyes have a peculiar
softness, suggestive of lovable and
affectionate dispositions. Mrs. Brown
ing praises them, saying: “Ihv
brown eyes have a look like birds
flying straightway to to the light.”
Now and then we see green eyes,
and they are supposed to indicate a
high order of intelh ct. Some few
people have eyes that are really gol
den, and, very naturally, they arc
dazzling.
The world is full of black eyas, some
of them bright as jels, and as ex
pressionless ; whose glances cut like
knives, anA fake in every thing, while
they tell nothing. They are the mir
rors of treacherous souls; and, lack
ing the firmness of the gray, have all
the'- •riiclfy and none of their beauty.
. are lack eyes that re
mind y-.u of n volcano, and s.cm con
stantly awaiting an opportunity to
destroy you with a lava flow of' t as
sion.
And last come those eyes, large and
dark as midnight, whose clear, cahn
glances are unuttered prayers—un
less aimed by Cupid, who knows full
well there is no need to watch the
arrow’s flight. It never misses the
mark, and for the intended victims
there is no escape. But, black eyes
or blue, grey eyes or brown, they all
have their worshipers ; and one and
all take color and expression from the
soul thoy seek to hide or reveal.
—Genuine affection, says a cyn
ic, is rarely . It requires too

mands too much constancy for the
volatile; too much restraint for
the impetuous; too much and licacy
for the sensual; too much enthu
siasm for the calculating; too
much activity for the indolent;
too much attention for the philo
sophic ; too much self-denial for
the selfish. Is it then to be won
dered at that women get disgusted
with their husbands, and men get
tired of their wives, when the
qualities necessary to excite and
retain affection are seldom unite 1

TIIAi SEVEN WISE .UE.%
Most people have heard of the
“Seven Wise Men of Greece," but
very low who know who they were o l '
how they came to be called so. Here
is the story el them, ivml the moral
of it is worth remembering, if their
mimes are not :
The seven wise men of Greece are
supposed to have lived in tin- lilt:
century before Christ. Tin ir nanus
were Tittacus, Bias, Solon, Thule.-, j
Chilon, ’ C eobnlus mid Peri.uider.
'i lie reason of their be.ug called
‘•Wise” is given differently Ly and fibr
oin authors, b ,t the most approved
accounts state that as some Coans
were fishing, certain strangers from
Miletus bought whatever should be
in the nets without seeing it. When
the nets were drawn in they wore
found to contain a golden tripod
which Helen, as she sailed from Troy,
is supposed to have thrown there.
A dispute arose between the fisher
men and the strangers, to whom it
belonged ; and as they could not
agree, they took it to the Temple of
Apollo, and consulted the priestess
as to what should be done with it.
She said it must be .given to the
wisest man in Greece, and it was ac
cording h- sent to Thales, who de
clared that Bias was wiser, and sent
it to him. Bias sent ii to another
one, and so on, urnil it had pa°sed
through the hands of all the men.
afterwards Cist lignisi e ! by the title
of the “Seven Wish Men ; and as
each one claimed that someone was
wiser than he,it. finally was sent to
the temple of Apollo, where, accord
ing to some writers, it still remains,
to teach the lesson that the wisest
are the most distrustful of their wis
| dom.
