SELECT MISCELLANY.
Gambling at the State Fair.
A writer in the Georgia Grange . in “de
scanting” on the late “ moral unpleasantness'’
Treated by the operations of the “Wheel of
Fortune” on the Fair Grounds at: the city of
Atlanta recently, discusses the matter in
this wise:—
I propose to discuss this matter fairly and
dispassionately, without disposition to reflect
upon anybody, and simply in the cause of
right.
It is fair to state that gambling things
have been permitted at previous State Fairs,
llut it is also proper and just to sav that the
State Agricultural Society has never, hereto
fore. authorized them when the Fairs were
under its management. The cities of Macon
and Atlanta have both had the Fairs under
their entire control, assuming all the pconnia
rv respohsibility, and maintaining direction
of matters. The city authorities have both
thought proper to allow games of chance on
the grounds on these occasions as a source
of revenue. But the Executive Committee
or the Agricultural Society, while dissenting
from it. had no right to allow or prevent,
having turnod over the whole matter to the
cities.
But, as I stated, it is the fact that when
the Society lias run the Fairs, it has never
authorized gambling. Therefore the recent
granting of the privilege was anew thing for
the Society. In my comments on the matter
I desire it distinctly understood that I am
not discussing that action, nor passing judg
ment upon it, but I desire to argue the pro
priety of it in the future. The conductors of
the late Fair had an honest desire to do their
duty, and I not only have no adverse criti
cism for them, but I heartily accord them the
credit of having achieved a great success.
The only argument for licensing gambling
arrangements on the grounds is that it brings
revenue, and very considerable revenue at
that, to the Fair. And this is all in its favor.
Against it there is every other possible
argument, that an enlightened intelligence
and a Christian conscience can conceive and
array. It would be an impossibility in the
brief space at mv disposal to present a tithe
of the irresistible reasons against it. The
laws of God and the statutes of society ; the
preservation of public morals; the good of
the young; the cause of virtue; the dignity
of agriculture, all forbid it. I will not do so
unnecessary a thing as to discuss the moral
question, but merely mention it. There can
be no two opinions with any good citizen.—
If the law of the land wages a righteous war
against the secret practice of gambling in
the sporting hells and midnight orgies of our
city vice, there is a fourfold reason for socie
ty quenching the miserable pollution of its
open defiance of propriety at the great gath
ering devoted to the grand mission of advanc
ing agriculture.
But still farther, I say to the farmers that
it is due to them and their great calling to
preserve their exhibitions from the moral
taint of such accessories. The planter's pro
gress needs r.o such element of support.—
The farmer's cause is injured by such instru
ments of social corruption. Let us have no
more 6uoh displays to prostitute our State
Fairs.
The Agricultural Society is a chartered
organization of State dignity and importance.
Its high moral aims and earnest pursuit of
material progress and development have won
for it a distinction in the State not second to
any institution of like character. The Soci
ety cannot afTord to resort to doubtful pecu
niary expedients. It, can live and prosper
without the money of the simple and the
guileless, who are tempted by the paint, the
glitter and the brilliant array of silver, to
risk and lose their hard-earned gains.
This writer, in concluding his article, has
also some animadversions on t!p •• racing
feature” of the occasion under discussion.—
This we omit, with the simple remark that,
if there is a “call” for racing at any time,
surely the last place should be at an “Agri
cultural Fair.” What the farmer wants is a
good walking horse—a good pulling horse ;
but what use he can have for a good running
horse, is more than most people can divine,
we think.
♦ v
Gen. Gordon.
In an “interview” given in one of the New
York papers, Robert Toombs is reported as
saying that Gen. Gordon would not be re
turned to the Senate, on account of his “ ec
centric” career. What there may have been
in the conduct of the Georgia Senator t hat
should seem so eccentric to Mr. Toombs we
cannot divine. When so eccentric ? Before
or since his election to the Senate? He was
indeed in the Confederate army, which we ad
mit was all wrong—worse than eccentric—
criminal even, if Mr. Toombs wishes us to
so consider it. But he was a gallant officer,
never violating. a9 we have heard, the strict
est proprieties of civilized warfare. That
Gen. Gordon was brave, his wounds attest—
and he wears them all on his front. Since
his election to the Senate. Gen. Gordon has
been an active and thorough paced demo
crat, when he should, in our opinion, have
been as active on the republican side. Ilis
frank and generous nature would have found
republican allegiance a congenial service.—
But he has been an honorable opponent. Fair,
just and liberal, leaving the confederacy and
its issues behind, and accepting the situation
evidently in good faith, he has acted the part
of a courteous and kighminded American Sen
ator. Mr. Robt. Toombs calls this eccentri
city, and says Mr. Gordon will not be re
turned. Perhaps not. But the country will
commend the Senator's “eccentricity,” and
regret that one from whom so much was hop
ed in the work of re uniting the hearts of our
people should be remanded to private life.—
But it may be that Toombs is no prophet.—

A Missouri girl frightened off a midnight
burglar with a beer-bottle, which he mistook
for a pistol, and now all the girls in the vil

The religious sentiment in San Antonio,
Texas, is overwhelmingly orthodox. An in
fidel delivered a lecture there against Chris
tianity. On the following night he was whip

again attempted to teach infidelity in that com
munity he would be hanged.
Improved Method of Wintering Cows.
Mr. Linus VT. Miller, of Stockton, N. Y., an
experienced dairyman, advocates, in a pam
phlet entitled “ Meal Feeding and Animal
Digestion,” a system of feeding cows during
winter, which involves the use of but three
quarts of meal per day. He asserts that this
amount of good Indian meal, is more than
the equivalent for all the good hay a cow can
he coaxed to eat —that the animal does not
need to have its stomach distended with a
great bulk of woody fiber, which imposes up
on the system a large amount, of mechanical
work both in the process of digestion and re
mastication—that, in brief, bulk in food is
not advantageous but to the contrary, and
that nutriment in food governs the condition
and health of the animal, and that condensa
tion of nutriment is true economy. Mr. Mil
ler has conducted physiological investiga
tions into the funct ions of the four stomachs
of the cow, whence it appears that meal fol
lows the same herbaceous food, and stays
longer in the rumen than coarse food, while
it also digests more thoroughly than when the
energies of the stomach are divided between
meal and coarse herbage.
Whatever may be the correct theory in this
regard, results of actual practice appear to
bear out Mr. .Miller’s views. The report of
a committee, appointed to examine into the
system by the Western New York Dairyman's
Association, shows the following facts ; The
examination was conducted upon Mr. Mil
ler’s herd of Chatauqua county native cows,
the average live weight of which was 000 lbs.
The herd was fed exclusively upon corn meal
for seven weeks, each animal, according to
its digestive capacity, making an average of
three quarts of meal per day for each cow.—
The animals did not ruminate, did not mani
fest so much desire for food as cows fed on
ha}' alone in the usual way. a little less than
they will cat, showed no sijjrns of unrest or
suffering ; and at the time of going back to
hav, the cows had neither lost nor gained
flesh. After returning to hay, their stomachs
filled and ruminating went on normally,
health}' calves were dropped, and when turn
ed to grass the animals took on flesh faster
than those wintered in the usual way. Their
daily yield of milk was 20 lbs. 3 ozs., or 1 lb.
11 ozs. per cow more than that of any other
herd sent to the same cheese factory.
As regards the economy of meal feeding,
Mr. Miller points out that one bushel of corn.
ground and tolled, will last an ordinary sized
cow of 000 lbs. weight 12 days, and is equal
ito 240 lbs. of hay. Corn at GO cents a bush
el is therefore the equivalent of hay at soper
; ton of 2.000 lbs., and where it can be had at
I that rate the wintering the animal will cost
from $7 to $lO, according to coldness and
length of the foddering season. But hay, as
a rule, costs at least $lO per ton, and fre
quently much more. Hence the estimated
saving by meal feeding is placed at from $o
to S2O per animal according to the respective
prices of corn and hay.— Sci. Amcr.
What Prayers God Will Not Answer.
No prayer for anything of self-love, ambi
tion and pride.
No prayer which treasures vanity, vain-glo
ry. boasting, self-righteousness. None of
presumption. No wish that has no good in
it. No hopes that are for your own selfish
convenience. No prayer for a single thing
of earth that will lead to sin. No prayer
while you still withhold a single thing from
God. No prayer however good that will load
you to forget him. No prayer of the world,
ly-minded. No prayer that imposes condi
tions on God. No prayer offered without a
desire of honor and glory to God. No pray
er for the answer of which the petitioner can
not give God thanks. No prayer offered in
doubt or unbelief, or distrust. Not a single
prayer of anv one whose heart is far from
God. and does not long for him. No prayer
for any one who denies him. No prayer for
those who live in carelessness, scorn or un
concern of religion. No prayer of those who
refuse the Bible, or refuse to seek and be con
vinced of the existance of their God. No
prayer of him who puts a single thing, or love
of earth between him and his God. No pray
er of him who is not willing to do anything
for God. No prayer of him who loves his
money, or earthly treasures, more than his
Great Master, or the hope of eternal life.—
All these are unheard. From all such God
hides his face, and refuses a listening ear.—
Purge your prayers and desire of all the above
errors of self-love and righteousness, and
then you may with confidence go to One who
is glad to help you.— Advocate of Holiness.
The Coming Winter.
Astronomer Royal Smith, of the Royal Ob
servatory. Scotland, says that the coming
winter is going to be cold. From
the observations of earth thermometers over
a period of thirty nine years, he findsthat be
tween 1837 and 1876 three great heat waves
from without struck Great liritan ; namely,
the first in 1846-5, the second in 1858-0, and
the third in 1868-7. The next one will prob
ably come in 1879-5, within the limits of a
half a year each way. The periods of mini
mum temperature, or greatest cold, are not
in the middle time between the crests of these
heat waves, but are compartively close up to
them, on each side, at a distance of about a
year and a half. Hence the next cold wave
is due at the end of the present year, and very
frigid weather may be looked for.— Set. Amer.

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
- ESSAY,
READ BEFORE STONEWALL LODGE, I. O. Q. TANARUS.,
JEFFERSON, GA., BY MISS INEZ HUNT.
“ Sic Itur Adastra. — This in the way to the
Stars."
Man looks with wondering eyes at the spec
tacle presented by our Savior, when he gave
his life for sinful humanity. He fails to re
alize the sublimity of that devotion which act
uated the great Redeemer to take upon his
own shoulders the sins and sorrows of count
less generations. Man's giant intellect trem
bles at the thought, and refuses to act, and
wh}’? Simply because the sacrifice was too
infinitely tender, too sublimely grand for poor
weak humanity to comprehend its depth.—
And yet, the history of the Cross arouses a
deeper emotion than probably any other bib
lical scene. It has a pathos of its own, a dis
tinct feeling of sorrow for his suffering and
triumphs, that e’er thrills the soul and tempts
us to resound from the depths of our hearts—
“ Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly.”
Grand indeed was the sacrifice. He alone
could conceive the sublime thought. He alone
overcame the superhuman obstacle that crowd
ed his thorny path-way ; and lie alone could
rise and soar above them all, and bring his
efforts to a glorious maturity. Ah ! brothers
and sisters, truly can we sav of his divine ex
ample, “ Sic Itur Adastra.—This is the way to
the Stars." Redeemed humanity exults at
the thought, and ages hence, countless mil
lions of regenerated sou,ls will shout his
praise, and raise the song of triumph in uni
son with the sweet-tuned harp. And the sac
rifice was wort hy of the maker, for of all sac
rifices, the noblest, the most God-like, is to
give one's self for his fellow-man. Few in
deed have followed in the path way pointed
out by pur Saviour's life and death. Few in
deed, amid the countless millions who have
come and gone, have given themselves to their
fellow-man. But around the names of those
few, hangs a steady flame of imperishable
Splendor which sheds a halo of matchless
light around all surrounding objects. Aye!
to them belongs a nobler, a more lasting re
nown than the proudest conquerer ere boast
ed. Cmsar and Alexander are known as con
querors of the world. Cicero and Demosthe
nes left their foot-prints in the sand of time,
and yet, they shall pass away and be forgot
ten , butthedeed of the martyr shall live and
shed its genial rays in an ever increasing circle
over the human race, penetrating their hearts,
awakening souls into a broader phylosophv.
and quickening their dormant feelings into
life. Men may rise and gain renown by great,
actions on the field of battle, or in the Cabi
net. or they may gain it by untiring exertions
in the political career, but—
“ lie who to man's advancement bends his mind,
And is the benefactor of his kind,
Builds for him Self a more enduring fame.
And thousands bless who do not know his name.”
Yes, brothers and sisters, self-sacrifice, that
noblest of man's impulses, always builds for
itself a monument of glory which transcends
the grandest dream of splendor that ere float
ed around the conquerer's couch and filled his
soul with their exquisite but evanescent
splendor. Brothers and sisters, have we no
lesson to learn from their lives? these self
sacrificing heroes who gave themselves for
fallen humanity? Do we not learn any les
son from the life of our Saviour? I thank
God, that we can say “3'es,” and that the
echo rings in one universal shout from Lodge
to Lodge all over the State, bringing each
heart a hearty response; yes. we are giving
our energies to the glorious work of philanthro
py ; of raising the drunkard from his degrad
ed stat e ; of twining around the j’onth of our
land the gentle cords of “Faith, Hope and
Charity of elevating society and doing our
Master's work. If God favors the right
cause, as he most assuredly does, then we
must succeed. Then let us write “ Excel
sior” on our banner, and with determined
spirits march on, and on. until drunkenness
shall be of the things that. were. Let ns re
solve, that come what will, we give our hand
and our heart to the work. If we do this our
success will be grand, and our reward be
yond price. Ah ! young man. you who mad
ly press forward in pursuit of ambition, would
you see your proudest dreams of honor, of iin
perishable renown realized ? Would you
have the wreath of victory placed upon your
temples, throbbing with the various emotions
which course through your triumphant heart ?
If so, learn from the history of former na
tions ; and above all, learn from the example
of our Savior, that the noblest eonqnerer is he
who uses his talent for his fellow-man ; the
greatest triumph is to hear the words, “Well
done, thou good and faithful servant.” And
brothers and sisters, let me, in conclusion,
urge yon to be earnest and diligent in our
cause. It may not become me to speak thus,
but my earnestness in our mission will not
allow me to be silent; it urges me on to en
courage 3'ou to speak words of love and hope,
and it is my earnest desire that the}’ tnaj’
move you to longer and more earnest efforts
to break down the evil of our land ; let us
continue the warfare until the enemy is crush
ed and lies writhing among his victims.—
And when the warfare is over—with the lau
rels upon our brows, we shall spend count
less ages of peace and joy ineffable.
IdP’Chronic drunkards are put to an ex
cellent use in Ohio under the new liquor law.
The wife or other relative who suffers most at
the hands—and feet—of the chronic induces
him to fill himself with intoxicating fluid and
then kill himself. Suit is then brought against
the last man who had the misfortune to sell
liquor to the drunkard, and the jury compels
him to pay what is considered a fair price for
the departed. Avery inferior article of hus
band can be made in this way to net to his I
widow from five to eighteen thousand dollars. 1
