"The Old and the New.”
I sat in the Opera House the other night
and watched a scene of unusual interest.
A crowded house —the beanty and the chiv
alry of Georgia’s capilol fairly glittering in
the blaze of gaslight; an eager brilliant
throug, throbbing in sympathy with the oc
casion or thrilling with the pain of unavail
ing regret. * * The starring strains of
music from a band of Union soldiers, a brief
demonstration as the prominent figures of
the General Assembly filed in and took seats
upon the stage, and then a pause, a hush,
and a burst of passionate applause as a grey
bearded and attenuated tWro walked awkardly
in.
The members of the assembly rose and
bowed profoundly.
The grey’ beard bowed ungracefully in re
turn.
Its wearer sunk into a sofa, and, while the
band played a stirring lyric we had time to
scan him well.
Nothing in the man’s appearance or man
ner suggested the idea of a more than ordi
nary occasion.
Not a line of calm, meek face betrayed
emotion ; not a quiver of the thin lips, not a
flash of the grey eye, or a nervous movement
of the frame ; and yet that grey bearded fig
ure, sitting there so quietly under the glare
of the footlights, faced the eve of a consum
mated and realized ambition for which he
had watched and waited, toiled, planned, and
hoped for a weary lifetime.
It was a singular face —not a line or a
curve that suggested birth or blood ; not a
touch of the aristocrat had been born of the
twenty years of affluence that had rolled over
him ; a calm face, with a wonderful depth of
quiet patience and tranquil determination in
its placid outlines—the face of a man who
would have smiled calmly at the stake, not
from warrior pride or fortitude, but because
the equable pulses of his discipline and phil
osophical temperament, accepted the inevit
able.
And new he sat, facing a to-morrow that
would bring, with a certainty which he had
calculated to a mathematical nicety 7 ’, the real
ization of his life-dream.
It had come at last.
From the plough handles to the helm of
State. From Ga ldestown to the national
capitol, and from handling the rope that
“ gee’d” or “ haw’d” the famous “ bull,” to
"handling the reins that veered the govern
ment.
He rose to speak. Ilis first sentence, awk
ward like himself, spoken in the vermacular
of the masses, proclaimed him one of the peo
ple—a commoner indeed. But there was a
homely strength in what he said, a practical
vein of thought, a well-defined and evident
purpose in his life, a sort of utilitarianism
breathing in his policiee that commended
him to an impoverished people, and, withal,
a telling force in his ideas, that justified, per
haps, his elevation to the high position which
he fronted. * * * * . *
Up about him, in the gallery, with arras
folded proudly and gracefully, showing just
one aristocratic hand in whose blue veins the
rich blood coursed calmly in the flow of his
high-bred composure, sat another figure.
There was the air of the soldier about this
man. Ilis erect carriage, his easy and yet
faultless dignit}' of dress and manner, the
perfect grace of movement, the firm mouth,
and the strong lines of the handsome face,
with the flashing eye, ail proclaimed the old
blooded Southerner, fibered and high met
tled as an Arab steed.
He had the magnetism and dash of a born
leader. ******
The man in the gallery was the rival of the
man on the stage. The prize to be awarded
on tiie morrow was sought by both, but the
winner was already known.
The practician in the gallery, throned in
the hearts of Georgia’s chivalry, had reached
out his white hand, and pointing to his bright
record and his stainless character, had asked
this splendid gift of the State.
And she said to him, “ Nay 1” with a pang
at her heart.
The plebeian on the stage, deified in the
reason of the people, had pointed his thin,
patient fingers to the pregnant future, which
his “judg-meni” alone could utilize to their
advantage, and said, “ I am one of you.
Give me this !’’
And with utter faith they gave it to him.
The people loved Lawton’s purity and his
shining character.
They trusted Brown’s sagacity and his
wonderful management.
There the two men sat, in the last strug
gle for the best honor in Lhe gift of the State.
And I could not help thinking of the forces
and the ideas that were at stake in the con
test between them. It was the last close
struggle for supremacy between the spirit
that ruled the old South and the spirit of the
new South. The old South was a south of
traditions-, of sentiments, of chivalric memo
ries, of heroic impulses. The new south is a
south of conservative tendencies, of practical
ambitions, of democratic ideas, of sordid pol
icies.
JEFFERSON, JACKSON COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10.1880.
The South of “’6O” would have given it
to Lawton.
The reconstructed South of “’80” gives it
to Brown.
Time and toilsome years, poverty and de
feat. have broken the old South at last. She
kept her traditions for many a year, fought
gallantly against degeneracy as pride and
blood ever fight, but in this- her last heroic
struggle, her cavalier of dashing memories
goes down before the shaven Round-head and
the almighty dollar,
Ihe new South has won. She wields the
scepter, and no doubt will for a decade or
more. Let U 9 see how she will rule.
But we love the old South best.
Her day will come again.
John Temple.
Happy Children.
As house-plants cannot flourish without
sunshine, so children cannot thrive and be
happy without love. How radiant are their
bright faces as they respond to tones and
words of affection from the lips of their pa
rents ! Little they know of the deep solici
tude, of the'constant care exercised toward
them ; but they do fully understand and ap
preciate protestations of love and tenderness.
Why should we be chary of these, when they
cost only speaking ? “I know now,” said a
lady not long ago, “that my mother loved
me tenderly, but during all my childhood I
doubted it. If I were really dear to her, 1
queried, why did she never tell me so ? Why
did she never caress me, and assure me of
her love? She. thought her actions spoke
loudly enough, without words. I could not
read her actions then as I can now, and how
I longed to hear her call me loving names,
and to have her wrap me in the sweet em
brace of her strong mother love.” Many a
little heart aches just as this lady’s did, and
can be made happier by the spontaneous ut
terances of maternal affection than by beads,
or dolls, fine clothes, or costly toys.
Children who grow up in this constant at
mosphere of love, are rarely mischievous,
never vicious. The mightiest of all agencies
to lead the young in paths of virtue is in the
hands of parents, and to command this
agency they need but give expression to the
natural overflow of their hearts.
Children, to be happy, need encouragement
and praise. It is not enough that they es
cape censure. Negatives are always cold and
blank. Our little ones want warm positive
approval when they have done right; thus
they will be made to lcel that the paths of
wisdom are paths of pleasantness and peace.
“Old B-” on Joe B.
We heard “ Old B.” spin the following yarn
about Hon. Joseph E. Brown:
“ In the year 1852 I was selling goods at
a place called Fair Flay in South Carolina.
There was an old bachelor there named Den
nis T , who was a horse racer and gam
bler, and an incessant pipe smoker. The old
fellow had a fight at Larkin Brown’s grocery,
and had a three-cornered piece bitten out of
his under lip. Larkin picked it up after the
fight aud stuck it in a crack, and a few days
afterward upon examination the beard on it
had grown out about an inch long. The
notch left in T ’s under lip proved a
positive convenience, as it was just the right
shape for his pipe stem. I had gone to
Charleston to buy goods, and left iny wife
and Jesse Stribling—a boy of twelve years
—to attend to the store. Jesse —by way of
parenthesis—made a splendid soldier in the
Lost Cause, and has been Clerk of the Supe
rior Court for years in Oconee county, S. C.,
and a leading man in that county ever since
the war—in fact all my boys that I taught a
few lessons in selling goods and telling the
truth have succeeded in life, and—”
“But what about Joe Brown?” we inter
rupted, to shorten the parenthesis.
“ Oh! yes; well, old Dennis ran away
while I was gone to Charleston. I found out
he had gone to the neighborhood of Canton,
Ga., where a young lawyer by the name of
Joe Brown was practising law. I sent Joe
the fifty dollar note I had on Dennis. The
old fellow was a slick old coon, and settled
where three counties cornered. But Joe
Brown surrounded him. He fixed up papers
to catch him in all three counties ; and in less
than three weeks Joe Brown sent me by mail
the prettiest fifty dollar hill I ever saw before
or since. I related this occurrence in Au
gusta, G., once, when a merchant said to me :
‘ I’ll give you my experience with that young
fellow Brown. A country merchant owed me
a good large debt, and it was reported that
he was broke. I went to liunt him up as a
lame duck—not expecting to get anything
out of him. When I got to the town where
Brown was practicing law, 1 enquired of the
hotel-keeper for an attorney. He referred me
to Brown, and said he was honest, industri
ous and prompt, and if any one could get ray
monej r he could. I went to Brown’s ofliee
late in the evening, and gave him my case.
Brown told me the man lived 12 miles from
town, but that lie would go to see him that
night, and told me to call at his office next
morning at ten o’clock for the money. I call
jed promptly and got every cent of the mo-
I ncy.’ ”
FOR THE PEOPLE.
“Now,” continued Old 8., “ here’s the
MORAL.
“ A man who is prompt, attends strictly to
his business and is honest is bound to suc
ceed. Of course God Almighty didn’t give
the sense to one in a million that he gave Joe ;
but the reason 99 out of a possible hundred
jackleg lawyers don’t succeed is because they
are not prompt and do not look to their
clients’ interest—so they get cost and fee3
they are happy. There is no State in the
Union where honest, prompt lawyers have a
better chance to rise than in this same old
State of Georgia. Promptitude, honesty and
judgment has made Joe Brown the great man
he is ; and so long ns there is a red hill or a
fertile valley in thi3 grand old Slate, the
name of Joe Brown will be a household
word.”
We left the old man glaring at a home
stead notice some debtor had handed him.—

Ericsson’satngine of Death.
Captain John Ericsson is experimenting in
New York harbor with the most formidable
engine of death known in naval warfare.
The boat is submerged like a monitor, with
all the machinery below an intermediate deck
of plate iron which is 3trongly ribbed and
supports inclined armor plates. The deck
house above the water has no ports at the
sides, and can be shot away without the ves
sel being disabled. Heavy wood backing
gives additional protection to the wheel, and
the electric battery and the steering gear is
ten feet below the water line. Attacking
Lows on, and defying with her armor the
heaviest ordnance, the destroyer is practically
invulnerable and at the same time a most
terrible antagonist. Her armament consists
of a single breech-loader of wrought iron,

N. W. Carttiiers.
Superior Court.
Pursuant to adjournment, Judge Erwin
osll_A Cnnofinp fVvnrf. tn nnd
man, and James \V. Sampson, a mulatto.
Miss Plant was the adopted daughter of John
H. Dcyo, a wealthy farmer, whose fortune,
estimated at S 75,000, she would have heired
but for the unnatural union which she has
contracted. Sampson was a farm hand in the
employ of Deyo, and thus made the acquaint
ance of the girl, which ripened into intimacy.
After eloping they found great difficulty in
being married, every minister to whom they
applied refusing to join thorn in wedlock.
They had about given up in despair, and left
for the house of one James Cantine, who
keeps a low resort. There the wife of Castine
(a white woman) resolved that the pair should
be united even if she had to resort to strategy’.
It was decided that Miss Carrie’s face should
be blackened with burnt cork. This was
done, and the pair started off to the parson
age of the Reformed Dutch Church of Stone
Ridge, where Rev. V. S. Hurlburt, the pastor,
without for a moment suspecting the decep
tion, united them in wedlock.
Whal Railroads do for Farmers.
To haul forty bushels of corn fifty miles on
a wagon, would cost at least sl2 for team,
driver and expenses. A railroad would
transport it for $4 at most. Allowing on an
average of forty bushels per acre, or 8 per
cent, or SIOO. As the relative advantage is
about the same for other crops, it is clear that
a railroad passing through a town would add
SIOO per acre to the value of the farms. A
town ten miles square contains 64,000 acres.
An increase of SIOO per acre is equal to
SIOO,OOO, or enough to build 200 miles of
railroad even at a cost of $32,000 per mile.
But 200 miles of road would extend through
20 towns, ten miles square, and cos* but $lO
per acre if taxed upon the land. These figures
are given merely as an illustration. If the
farmers had taxed themselves to build all the
railroads in this country and given them awav
to any company that would stock and run
them, the present increased value of then;
lands would have well repaid all the outlay.

German Millet.
A correspondent of the Ohio Funner wr ites :
“ I see that inquiries still come in regard to
millet, or German millet, and having had
some experience in cultivation, I will tell you
what I know about it. My father raised it
for a good many years, and it was his prac
tice to sow it about July sth; in summer fal
lowed, ploughed early in June and harrowed,
at intervals of a week, until sowing. This
effectually killed all the pigeon grass near the
surface and gave the millet a fa r start.
We sowed about five-eighths o{ a bu did of
: seed per acre, broadcast, and harrowed with
) TERMB, $1.50 PER ANNUM.

light burrow. It matured about tho 10th of
September, when we cradled it by hand, let-
it lie until cured and then bound and
shocked it in twelve-bundle shocks. Tho
last piece we raised was upou a barn* lot of
six acres* in a wet season, and it midea very
large growth, much of it being four and a
half to five feet high. A bad storm about the
first of September twisted it about a good
deal an 1 as this was before the day of reapers
we had a fearful job in harvesting it. We‘
made nearly twenty-three loads of it, of—l
should think—nearly a tontoaload. It was
heavily seeded and it was our practice to
throw the bundles upon the barn floor and
partially thrash them with a flail or fork, then
shake out the seed and feed the straw. In
this partially threshed condition the horses
got the grain they needed, doing splendidly
upon with no other grain. The seed is ex
cellent food for fowls in winter, and if much
of it is used an ordinary flock of fowl will
get their living upon the manure heap and
around the managers. Millet makes a very
nutritious feed without the seed, nil kind of
stock eat it greedily. The straw is coarse
and rank, however, and feeds much nicer af
ter being run through a threshing machine.
In regard to the amount that can he grown
on an acre, I think that land that wi.l pro
duce thirty bushels of wheat per acre will
grow four tons of fodder and ten or twelve
bushels of seed. I have always supposed
that it was an exhaustive crop, but I see that
some of your readers think differently.—
Millet will do equally as well if sowed as
early as June 25, making it ready to harvest
by September 1, and 1 think these dates will
suit the general run of farm work better than
the other ones. I have been in the habit of
ploughing up my strawberry so 1 on the sth
of July, and planting it to fodder corn, but it
comes so late that it is difficult to cure, and
this year I am going to sow millet, and then
T can put it in wheat in tlie fall and stock
the next spring. —Kentucky Live Stock Re

A Baltimore Lady’s Dream.
Mrs. Elizabeth Joiner, a handsoinely-at
red lady, entered the offiee of the Balti
ore Cemetery Cos,, on Thursday afternoon
a state of great excitement. She had
•earned that the body of her niece, Miss
snnie Smith, who had died not long ago,
Ud been stolen from the grave. The lady,
3io belonged to a wealthy and respectable
pniiy, upon being questioned, said she had
jailed the grave the day before and found
athin the inclosure a scapular worn by Cath
cics, which she was confident had been around
''iss Smith’s neck when she was buried.
Tterward, on returning home, she had dream*
a that she saw the empty coffin of her niece,
ad. in order to set her doubts at rest, she
Imted permission to have the grave opened.
Tier some demurrer, the request was grant
and the grave was opened in the presence
( ] the lady and a number of friends. It was
dund to contain only an empty co/fln. Mrs.
>iner, who was greatly horrified at the dis
dverery, then insisted on having the grave
the girl's mother, Mrs. Anna Carter, open
1. When this was done the discovery was
made that her body was also missing. The
disclosure caused great excitement among
the friends of the family, who are well known
and they are determined to ferret the matter
to tire bottom. Mrs. Smith and her daugh
ter both died vcr3 T suddenly, the former Sep
tember 18, and the latter two weeks after.
The cemetery oilicials, while admitting that
the bodies had been stolen from the graves,
refused to believe that it was the work of
professional b.jdy-snatchers. They appear
to think that the sudden deaths of the ladies
are in some way connected with the disap
pearance of the bodies, and intimate that the
present discovery may be followed by start
ling disclosures. The police show a dispo
sition to investigate the causes of the deaths,
and detectives are at work on the case.

graving and polishing, a large proportion of
the precious metal used, is needed only to
stiffen and hold the engraved portions in
place, and supply the necessary solidity and
strength. The surplus gold is actually need
less so far as utility and beauty ate con
cerned. IN JAMES BOSS’ PATENT
GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of pre
cious metal is overcome, and the same so
lidity and strength produced at from one
third to* onc-half of the usual cost of solid
cases. This process is of the most simple
nature, as follows : a plate of nickle compo
sition metal, especially adapted to the pur
pose, has two plato3 of solid gold soldered
one on each side. The three are then passed
between polished steel rollers, and the re
sult is a strip of heavy plated composition,
from which the cases, backs, centres, bevels,
&e., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and
formers. The gold in these cases is sulli
ciently thick to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and enamelling; the engraved
cases have been carried until worn perfectly
smooth by time and use without removing
the gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MAD*
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CER
TIFICATE.

Dr. C.-J. Moffett— Dear Sir — l cannot too
strongly recommend your Teethina (Teething
Powders) to mothers as one of the best medi
cines they can obtain for their debilitated and
sickly infants. 1 have used it with very satis
factory results the past summer with my own
child, and while we have heretofore lost a
child or two from teething „ under other
remedies, our present child that has taken
Teethina is a finejiealthy boy. Its merit is
certain to make it a stan lard family medicine
for this country for the irritations of teething
and bowel disorders of children of all ages.
I am. very respectfully.
A. P. Brown, M. D.
(Brother cx-Gov. Jos. E. Brown.)
