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. STEARXS GIVES Y- THE : Vi. 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 attachment has been issued to compel manager Barnes; Cf the New Orleans telegraph office, to appiar be fore Mr. Morrison’s committee with the required tele gram. A man calling himsell Rev, L. S. Smith, and who stated that he was n preacher of the Northern Methodist Church,on his way to Milledgevillc.to which city lie had been transferred 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 to Macon. Smith explained that be found the overcoat in the ear and was trying to bunt up the owner. Ho wo* required to give a bond of $1 00- * ._ 1 . 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 many virt.iea to be genera!; a 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 1 in one individual f “John lam going to church, and if it should rain ] wish ,y<m would come with the ombre da- how ever, you need not coma unless it ! should rain down-right.” The gentleman wont. if. did rain,but | John had gone to the other end oi the town to see Mary.

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.
