What lessons the dying embcis of a’ brightly burning tire teach us? How many sat watching with thoughtful mien the weird shades of their fading glow ? Bright scenes of joyous youth fullness, the trials of manhood, tem tations,vicissitudes, prosperity come up in review and wo live our lives over watching the dying embers. Selected; We have received the first ise of the Atlanta Daily Phonograph, by T.- OlrrtaVophcr & llrq, It IS a neat sheet, and we doubt not but that the young gentleman will keep it up in splendid style.

The people of Ireland arc fighting for subsist tnce, although their rebellion has not assumed an open form. The p< o pis of Greece are preparing to make the Moslem give up a goodly slice of Greek territory. The people of the Transvaal arc in arms to secure their independence, and two or three Kaffir tribes are in league with them. The republic of Chdi continues to pound the Peruvians,although the lat ter are too weak to strike back. It will take at least a good part of 1881 to bring any one of these tronblos to a peaceful settlement. —Constitution. A correspondent of the Patron of Husbandry, in urgingSonthei n plant ers to raise as much as possible then own food supplies: “On the 10th of June I planted 5£ p.cre3 in corn and paid $11.50 to cultivate and gather it; aud it cost me $1 per bushel in the crib. I sold to a neighbor 100 bushels of this corn for SOS: he paid m# the money that he got for his cotton at eight cents net; that is, he gaye me 8| pounds ot cotton for u bushel of corn. Now a good man aud a good team can raise and put in the crib 2,000 bushels of corn and if he could exchange it at the same price that I got he would get 40£ bales of cotton, averaging 400 pounds each,’’ Rome Courier: A news dispatch from Eaton, Ohio, toila of the com mencement of a breach of promise suit by Dora Boner against B F Tiz zard. The complaint alleges that re spondent had promised to marry her and that she had accepted him; that the day was fixed; t hat she has been for a long time and still is waiting to fulfill the contract on her part, but the respondent though often request ed, has neglected and refused, to comply with and perform the con tract on her part. Wherefore she sue3, laying hei damages at SIO,OOO. The dispatch concludes thus: “It is said the young lover has gone south and is probably in Romo, Ga, and that he was provided with a co.d sl,- 000 in hard cash by the old folks to make his journey away from his sweetness.’’ OEOttu IA NEWS, Mrs Lnuird I’aga,of Ameri<-up,wns found dead in his bed on find insl.

Cuthbert Appeal: “An old negro by the name of Ben Domingos was badly bitten by dogs last Tuesday evening. The dogs brdonged to Mr. J C Jolley. Ben wa3 considerably under the influence of whisky, and not knowing where he was going, journeyed towards Jolley’s place, and when a little distance from the dwell ing he was attacked by three feroci ous dogs. His right arm was badly torn and lacerated, and it ia thought that even if he recovers from the wounds, he will not have any more use of that arm.” Augusta News: One of the most convenient articles to be used in a sick-room is a sand bag. Get some clean, fine sand, dry it thoroughly in a kettle on the stove, make a bag about eight inchco square of flannel, fill it with the dry sand, sew the opening carefully together, and cov er the bag with cotten or linen cloth. This will prevent the sand from sifting out, and, will also enable you to heat the bag quickly by plac ing it in a oven, or even on the top of the stove. After once usiug this you will never again attempt to warm tho feet or hands of a sick person with a bottle of hot water or a brick. The sand holds the heat, a long time, and the bag can be tucked up fo the back without hurting the individual. It is a good plan to make two or tbreo of the bags and keep them ready for use, All iIDI-atiU) IftUl BHIWItY, Last night iku report reached thi city tle.t the So> them Express ofiie< at Writ, Point had been rojlud am agent knocked in tho h ad and wot fatally Injured. Wo toll graphed for ihe pat t culars and obtain© t tho lb!’ lowing account of tho most outrnge i.nu all air: On tho night of January 3rd, between 9 and ten o’clock, Mr. H. A Wdson, tlio agent of the South ern Express Company und Uhgi'uph operator, was badly bouton and rol - bod of SOBS and some valuable pa pera Ot the amount lost SSOO be longed to Mr.Wilson nnd SOS to the company. A note against Mr. Pai nt 11 lbr SSO was among the papers st>lon. The money in tho diawers was not dis’u bd. Tho ogmit was in the offioe in the evening at the close of tho day's business, when a stranger catno in and asked ponnis sion to come in and warm. After sitting about tho office lor some time tho stranger 101 l and Mr. Wilson got up and went to tho safe to donosit the money taken in during tho day. lie washed his hands and went to the door to throw out the water, and as he turned ho was struck on the back of tho’h ad with a slick of wood by some unknown person. Ho 'was found by the watchman at ton o’clock and was lying in an unconscious con dition, with a terrible gash on die sido of Ins head nnd also other wounds. On his desk was found a disp teh dated 9:20, which showed that ho had been in a smslcss coudi ti m for m-arly an hour before ho was discovered. -It is not known who committed tho diabolical and, ed, but suspicion rests on two men —one of whom was iu West Point on the 3rd and claim to be an employe of the Green Lino, out hunting up lost cars which belonged to the company, and who gave his mime as Reatiy, and that his home is in Newnan.Ga,; and the other man is who came into office during the evening to warm. These two men were seen in private conversation several times daring tho day. No clue to their wherea bouts iiad been obtained upjj to 10 o’clock let night. The people of West Point arc justly indignant at the horrible outrage, and arc making efforts to secure tho perpetrators. The young man upon whom the mur derous assault wns made is said to be worthy an 1 most axccTent gentleman. Columbus Enquirer Sun. A PATAU WEBBIAS BAY. g*“ Tho B g Lick (Va.) Now3 says it has been open secret for some time alii (Tug their intimate acquaintances that Mr. Douglass Warwick, of Rich mond, and Miss Nellie Burrell, of Franklin county, betrothed ,and were to have been married about the first of this mouth. Everything was in readiness ou the evening appoint ed for the wedding, the ciriage was simt to the depot to meet the expected bridegroom, but instead of the gen tleman a message came stilting that sudden illness prevented his presence and asking that the wedding be de ferred. Three times successively it it was postponed for the same reason. But last Wednesday, for the third time, every thing had been prepand lbr the nuptials, came the most cm 1 blow of all. ’Twas but natural that the young lady should have lolt some trepidation at the approach of the carriage that had thrice failed to ful fill itt mission, and the sad sequel proves that her apprehensions were not groundless. Instead of greeting her future husband she 'received a a telegram conveying the shocking intelligence t hat he was dead. Several Christen is casualties occur rd tn Brunswick... Among otlu rs the Advertiser reports that Eugene Nelson met with a serious accident, damaging his left-hand tartibly.

Leesburg, Decomber 27,—Last night about 4 o’clock Mr. B E Pow ell’s dwelling and smoko house, about six miles lrom here, were con sumed by fire. Nothing was saved but a few clothes and bedsteads and they were much damaged. The fam ily was aroused by a negro hunting, -who discovered it in time to saye them, perhaps, from the flames. It was thought to be the work of an in cendiary, who had stolen some moat and syrup from the syrup house, and did this to cover his tracks. There was quite a quantity of meat in tho smoke house before the fire broke out,.but afterwards there was only a small piece found, crisped by tho llames. wargsaßßzi, ih.uu win'rnßaifßßUi Christmas Too Much. -The chances seem to be about even, when a lady goes Christmas shopping in New York or Boston, that she will spend the night in the calaboose —if her friends do not live near enough to get out a writ of habeas corpus before s undo w u.—Blaco u Telegraph , J.
