Mr*. Felton.
For the Brut and we trust the
iMt time, a woman of thia State
haa come to the front in politico.
Thia female politician ia found in
the wife of Hon. W. H. Felton a
representative in Congress from
Georgia. She wield* a ready pen
and cut* and alaahea right and
left aa though ahe delighted in the
fray.
The cause of thia novelty in
Georgia politic* leema to be a let
ter which waa written by A. W.
B. the Washington correspondent
of the Telegraph and Messenger,
in which it waa charged that a
letter had been written to Sonato t
Ferry of Michigan, during the
progress of the congressional com
paign, asking that 8enator to have
a certain Radical Committee to
aid her husband in the contest,
Mrs. Felton in her letter pub
lished in the Atlanta Constitution
assert* that A. W. B. had refer
ence to her a* the writer of the let
ter to Senator Ferry ;“Atno tile Inch-
rymae." She denies that alio ever
asked for money, but confesses
that she solicited the aid of Ferry
for her husband. It meins there
fore that A. W. R. wjis aubutao-1 S^e denied lie
tially correct. Perhaps it was the 1 111118 *' tt; ?' uu
conciousness of this that put her
iu a savage and lighting mood.
However this may he, she makes
an attack in her letter on Senator
Gordon, and uees language and
epithets that would cause a London
fiihwotuau to “turn green with
envy.”
Mrs. Felton I as engaged in a
labor of gigantic proportions if
she imagines she can skake the
confidence of the people of Geor
gia in the gallant Senator. It
would be well lor the towering
ambition of Mrs. Felton if she
could understand that outside his
own congressional district, her
husband has uot a uorpoal's guard
to do him honor.
The course'hat Mr. Felion, or
rather Mrs Felton, (for it now
appears that ahe furnishes the
bra'ns, and directs “the machine 1 ’)
has pursued is on insidious attack
on the Democratic party, and the
wonder to us is that the people
of his or her district should sustain
her in it. Believing that the
prosperity and the liberties of our
people are bound up with the suc
cess of the Democratic party, we
sincerely trust the people of Dr.
FeltOD's district, will, when they
again have an opportunity, con
sign him to the shades of private
life.

ah! what of the young ladies? You
leave them to brave ’.he temptationa of
a sin-loving world without advice, or
onv little word to guide them into the
right path; to steer them clear of the
wrecking rocks of vanity,iudolenoo and
self-love! Oh, Lilliani 1 hud thought

Buffering for tt Long Life
Persons aillicted with- rheumatism
often suffer for a life tium, their tor
tures being almost without remission.
The joints aud uiundes of sueh unfor
tunates are iu most cases shockingly
contorted and drawn out of shape. To
afford them even temporary relief, the
ordinary remedies often prove utterly
useless. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters,
»n the other hand, is avouched by per
sons who have used it, to bo a genuine
source of relief. It keeps the blood
cool by promoting u regular habit of
body, and removes from it impurities
which, in the opinion of all ratioual
pathologist, originate this agonizing
complaint and its kindled malady,
the gout. Besides this the Bitters rem_
edy disorders of the stomach, liver and
nerves, prevent aud eradicate intermit
tent and remittent fevers, promote nj>-
jKitite anil sleep, and are highly recom<
mended by physicians as a desirable
medicinal stimulant and tonic.
Girls, do you think that you prac
tice self-denial as much as is needful
If you want a uew dress, or hat, ami
your mother is• heeding a table-cloth,
and you find there is not enough mon
ey iu your puiiile to purclmse but one
of the needt-d articles, will you make I
her a present of the cloth, aud trim j
your hat over for another season, or
will you spurt new head-giur, thus
gratifying your own vanity and self-
love, while she is still subject—to the
mortification inevitably ensuing at
having to spread her “good cheer” on
a table, the covering of which is more
**hol(e)y than righteous?” Why that
flush mantling your fair cheeks? “Mam
ma ought uot to expect us to buy the
table-cloths,’! hear you murmur. Mam
ma does not ! Bui her last dollar has
gone for a “love of a toilet-set,” which
now glitters on your dressing-tahle.
•If to give you a Christ-
ould but show your
for her, your upprccia: ion of her
present, by denying yourself iu your
turn,aud presenting her with the needed
cloth, and then you would have the
satisfaction of feeling that you had
done your duty, made nmmuia liHppy,
and learned a lesson in self-denial. 11
the time that girls lose while standing
before their mirrors, putting up aud
taking dowH curl-pupesr aud frizzes,
were spent iu knitting,how many socks
do you suppose your father would have
at the close of a year? Why not put
up your hair quickly, and then take
up some work * You could Accom
plish a great deal iu these odd moments
—your frizzes aud cut la would look
just as well as if you had stood at the
glass and watched them all the while
—and then you can go out with all the
more satisfaction, knowing that you
have finished your work.
If your beau is coming after sup
per, don’t indulge indolence and
vanity by “dressing up” aud
spending two or three hours be
fore supper, attitudinising before
the parlor mirror. Bather go in
to the kitchen, make up the buis-
cuit, set the table, eat your sup
per, and then wipe th6 dishes; the
flush exercise brings to your cheek
will make you far more charming
than a whole day of attitudinising
Be neat about the house; lernem-
her the old adage, “Cleanliness
next to Godliness.” Above all
things, keep your own room in or
der, if you have occasion to take
a friend into your apartment, it
looks badly to snatch up a soiled
towel and toss it and the uoused
duster under the bed aa yon go io;
and to tumble a handkerchief and
soiled set of enffs and collar into
the top bureau-drawer. That re
minds me to tell you, girls; always
look to the “top bureau-drawer.”
One can al ways give a glance at
that, and then give a pretty cor
rect guess as to the character of
its owner—if the drawer is tumbled
full of miscellaneous things cuffs,
collars, laces, ribbons, gloves, ties,
crochet work, letters, hair-pins,
in fact everything pertaining to
girl's toilet, you may be assured
that she is not very neat. Let the
floor go unswept, neglect your friz
zes, let your flowers go unwatered
