every mark of respect to the memory ot Hon.

Mr. Brown then delivered an adddress,
in which he sketched the history of Mr.
Hill, and spoke ol his own early differ
cnees with him in the politics co-operatiou of Geor- and
gia, and their later
friendship. by Senator In one Hill of the before last his letters death
written
to Mr. Brown, referring to the past, be
said: “Who would then have thought
that you were during my liietime to be
come mv most trusted and confidential
friend?”' Speaking of Mr. Hill’s career
in Congress, Mr. Brown said that bv his
ability and character he soon won' the
respect and even the friendship of his
leading opponent, and that at his death
Mr. Blaine, his great antagonist in the
House of Representatives, wrote a letter
of condolence which did honor to the
writer’s head and heart, and which was
liighiy appreciated by the friends of the
deceased.
Mr. Brown said that Mr, Hill’s love
for his mother and his veneration for her
memory after her death was a beautiful
and touching feature of his character,
When at home it was bis habit to go every
day in the parlor where her portrait hung

again.” Brown spoke length of
Mr. at some
the religious education and character of
Senator Hill, and said that the last sen
tence uttered bv him was, “Almost
'
home!”
Mr. Ingalls de^vered a brief and elo
qeutit address, in which he spoke of the
dead Senator as a born polcmist and said
that of all the dead whose obsequies the
Senate had paused to solemnize, he re
called none whose untimely fate seemed
so lamentable and vet so rich in proph
eey as that of Senator Hill. Few scenes
in modern history were more tragic
than that protracted combat with death,
Mr. Vest spoke of Mr. Hills opposi
tion to secession and of his labors in
the Confederate Congress, alter he had
gone out with his State, in defense of
the President of the Confederacy against
Toombs, Yancy, Wigfall and other as
sailant, and of his attempt to nerve the
people to continue the struggle until lie
became satisfied that all was over and
nothing remained for him hut to share
the fortunes of the people apostrophized of Georgia. In
concluding Mr. Vest the
dead Senator, saying; farewell!
“Patriot, orator, statemant,
Let Georgia guard well thy grave; for

Mr. Hammond
House Many fine speeches were
SiSS3 *o“- nmwSi
k nown l ove f ()r t h e union of the States.
In speaking of his delivery as a speaker,
he said he never told an anecdote, quoted 7.
neither ... poetry . nor 4l the classics, . • yet i, he rt
charmed and electrified iua audience. 1 he
patience of tue dead Senator in bearing
hia suffering was told in forcible expres
iS j on Mr. hill’s written replies to his
p rvith a8t0 effect r just before his death were told
and fervor. Mr. Hammond
concluded as follows:
“Of such a character as this it can be
but said: ‘Oh ! death where is thy ” sting ?
Oil! grave whore is thy victory ?’
Mr. Speer made it good effort. His
speech was rhetorical.
Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, followed him.
He refered to the great amnesty debate
in the House a few years ago, and said
it was a battle of giants, in which Mr.
Hill was second to none. Though voted the
side which he advocated was often
down, he was never overcome Ills by any.
He was exalted and eloquent. rea
soning down was the not technical, in debate. but be cut He
to very root
would snatch victory from defeat. He
was aggressive in his argument. He
attacked theeuemy in the centre, seldom
in the flank. He was as formidable as a
debate as any man of his day. lie
struck fiercely at his foe, but without
animosity. He was not a great reader,
but his reading was such as to strength*
on his mind. The summit of his ambi
tiou was to serve his county well.
Mr. House, of Tennessee, said that
Mr. Hill's deathJcaused a vacancy in the
national councils which could not be
supplied. He was a debater and a
statesman of brilliancy, lie belonged
10 the first class of American statesmen.
Distinguished as was his life, all the
honors showered on him paled before
the sublime patience and Christian for
titude with which he met death.
Mr. Wellborn, ofTexas, said that Mr.
Hill was a great lawyer, orator and
statesmen. He always saw the inevitas
hie and made the best of all situations,
His intellect was equeal to any emergen
cy, and he possessed fidelity to duty him.
front which nothing could sever
He loved his country and held that good
government was the highest boom that
could be given a people. He wound up
eloquently and touchingly, dwelling
upon the last words of the dead Senator,
“almost home.”
Mr. Ivasson compared Senator Hill
with Oliver Cromwell. He was intellect sturdy
and honest in purpose. Hia
was of unusual power. He was not
prejudiced against the North, though
his hottest hope for the welfare of the
South had led many to think so. His
integrity of heart was great. He never
failed to impress one with the certainty
of the honesty of his convictions. No
higher tribute could be paid to the hon
or of the dead than for every member
of congress to practice the virtue which
he possessed. Hooker, of Mississppi, said that
Mr.
Mr. Hill was so simple, yet so lucid and
so forcible in his alignments, that the
salient points of them were seized an by
the most unintelligent. His words were
always the words of wisdom and lofty
patriotism. Wherever lie spoke and
whatever he said was for the interest
of his country.
Mr. Cox made the last Gambetta, Speech. and He
compared parallel Mr. Hill between to their deaths,

Mr. Hill had rounded a life of the rar
est mould. His character combined
beauty with strength. He had a legal
mind. His forte was as an advocate.
His choice for the unity of Georgia
rather than the unity of his county was
honest. He was to the .South what
Gambetta was to France. Both were to
save, but both were there to rebuild and
restore. He was all for Georgia. His
robust physique, his eloquence, his stU
very voice, was all tor Georgia. His
devortion to Georgia was but the step
ping-stones to his love for his country,
He was more than a classic hero. He
was a follower of the meek and tribute lowly
one. Mr. Cox paid a high to

[Post Appeal.]
Startling news reached the city yes¬
terday regarding a strange, outlandish
being, probably the Darwinian link,
that was seen by the passengers in a
railroad coach near Gilmore station, on
the Western and Atlantic road.
Air. Willie Keener, and an employe
of the road, states that the crature was
sighted yesterday in the act of preying
upou the half decomposed carcass of an
antiquated exposed tnule devouring whose remains elements were

air, heat and the car:ion-eating procliv¬
ities of the human monster. Upon aban¬ ob¬

killed by the cow-catcher about four
days before, the rotten flesh of which he
began to discuss with apparent relish.
A gentleman on the train obseived
him closely, and describes him as a
creature protruded foul beyond all conception. abnormal
His eyes to such au
extent as to suggest the idea that they
could be easily knoekd off with a fence
rail without touching his nose. His
hair was long lousy and shoulders and malted, in the falling

approved poetical fashion. His mouth
was enormous, and when opened, brought
to mind the biblical orifice, euphonious¬
ly designated as the bottomless pit.
A row of fangs gleamed and glistened
hi the dismal v.ud like pearls on tlio
ebony breast of an African wench. His
face was covered with hair of a glitter¬
ing taffy hue that completely obscure its
lineaments, which lineaments on this
account must lie left in tlie domain of
the problematical. A forehead villain¬
ously low, covered with bristles on which
there was blood, suggested the harrow¬
ing possibility that the strange creature
had had a personal rencountre off worsted. with His a

green eyes rolled in a ravenous manner,
and grave fears were entertained for a
while that he would attack the train.
The grizzly head was attached to a neck
of Bernhardtian slenderness, upon which
was observed a pelican ecus excressence,
probably utilized by tlie monster in
storing away superfluous blood for fu¬
ture potations; indeed, blood was seen
to exude from it in a little stream that
founds its way back to tlie ali-absorbiug
apperture above. The breasts, which
were exposed, revealed a strange phe¬
nomenon, which, but for either indubita¬
ble evidences, would have justified the
conclusion that the man was a woman.

In many of the little railroad towns
of northern Georgia small manufactur¬
ing interests have lately sprung into
life. They are small, but a start has
been made. Plow factories, wagon
shops, machine shops, feather manufac*
luring establishment are becoming com¬
mon. There is a growing industry m
wood working. In almost all the towns
there is the hum of the turning shafts
and wheels, the smell of oT and leather
driving belts, and that beacon of pros¬
perity, coal smoke,rising in tiny columns
from factory chimneys. Men are seen
on the the streets in the gray of the
morning who carry dinner buckets irt
their hands. Yes, the people of north¬
ern Georgia are doing well. All the
men are not talking cotton, cotton, exceed¬ cot¬
ton,’niggers, loolish niggers, and that
ingly talk about “before the war,
sir, when we were surrounded by the ac¬
cumulated elegancies of life,” as in the
nauseous case iu South Carolina. There
i3 snap in this people. There is out¬
come in them. The mem who get on
the railroad trains at the country sta¬
tions are in a hurry. They do not pa¬ de¬
tiently stand delay. Tlio swear at
lay. They swear at delays and that
the is a hotel good sign. If the dinner o’clock, at
they stop at is set for 12 and
they want it at 12, and not at 12j;
if they don’t get it, they raise a row.
The Southern Need of Good Cooks.
A correspondent of the Nashville
American says: “I have itad occasion
to travel considerable dining the past
year, and at half the bouses I stopped
the biscuits were raw at the bottom, and
either as heavy as lead or yellow as a
pumpkin with soda, while the meat was
swimming in grease. Why, it is enough
to give a razor-back hog, a sheep-killing
dog or a Bengal tiger dyspepsia. And
then the coffee, liovv detectable? What
it is made of L have not the slightest idea;
but, whatever it is, it has not the remo¬
ciously test kinship flavored to genuine Java. Rio or the deli¬
Horace Greeley
visited tlie South soon alter the war,
the only criticism his kind heart made
was in these -memorable words: “The
South needs 20,000 cooks!” It would
not have have made been prudent for Mr. Greeley
to a visit to the South before
the war, but if he had, and been enter¬
tained by 20,000 farmers and planters
he would have said: “The South has
20,000 of tlie best cooks in tho world I”
Southerners always educated liter daugh¬
ters, and when these daughters married
they made their home attractive iu va¬
rious ways, and especially in the cook¬
ing department. in the They of educated cooking, and the
negro women art
allowed them Is du nothing elso, conse¬
quently the cooking was excellent. But
the abolition of slavery also abolished
good cooking, except as to the negro
women who were educated by their mis¬
tresses in the culinary art, and the mis¬
tresses themselves. I heard a gentle¬
man make a very sensible remark re¬
cently. “Vanderbilt. Peabody and
Slater have given millions of dollar to
tlio cause of education in the South,
and I honor them as great benefactors
of this section, but if I had several
millions to give away I would establish
all over tlie south schools in which the
art of cooking would be taught. In
doingthis I would be subserving tlie cause
of morality and religion, as well as of
civilization and humanity. Properly
cooked food causes health, and perfect
health is conductive to good temper, and
cheerfulness, kind feelings, efficient
capable work, mental produces and physical, indi¬
while badly cooked food
gestion causes had health in every part
of tlie human system, fretfulncss, hate- and
fulness, discontent, poor mental
physical labor, and renders life a curse
to himself and nil those around him. A
man cannot be a true Cbristain, in all
that means, if he is fed upon badly cook¬
ed food all his days. Tlio great
need of the coutry is good cooks and
plenty of them. Young ladies should
be instructed in the art, both at school
and at home. It is time tlie country was
awakening to this great need. A weil
to do parent spends $501) to give his
daughter a musical education, and ans
other $500 to buy her a piano, and uine
chances to one she never jilays on it
a year after her marriage. If the $1,000
were spent in giving her a practical and
theoretical knowledge of cooking, it
would be far better for her and infinites
!y better for her fututre husband and
children.” The man who made these
remarks is married and has three beaus
tiful daughters—“hence these tears.”
