[From the Sunday Banner. "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.— Hartwell Sun.

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, ho 1 _:i ’ ' JAMt-s’r. iiYdson.Nmaster. in T. D. Erwin, Sec’y. To the Voters of Jackson County.

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. —American Agriculturist. 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. } SI.OO For Six Months. 0 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 cord. 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. How Watches are Made- It will he apparent to any one, who will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCII, that aside from the necessary thickness for en 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. For sale by all Jewelers. Ask for Illus trated Catalogues, and to see warrant.
