ATLANTA DAILY’ CONSTITUTION.
WE HAVE FEW PROMISES TO MAKE FOR
The Constitution for 1879. The paper
speaks lor itself, and upon that ground the man
agers offer it to the public as the best, the bright
est, the newsiest and the most complete daily
journal published iu ihe South. This is the ver
dict of our readers, and tho verdict of the most
critical of our exchanges, some of whose opinions
we take pleasure in presenting below.
The managers will be pardoned for briefly al
luding to some ol the features which have given
the Constitutsou prominence among Southern
papers.
I. It prints all the news, both by mail and tel
egraph.
11. Its telegraphic service is fuller than that of
any other Georgia paper—its special dispatches
placing it upon a footing, so far as the uews is
concerned, with the metropolitan journals.
HI. Its compilation of the news by mail is the
freshest of the befft, comprising everything o?
interest iu the current newspaper literature of
the day.
IV. its editorial department is full, bright and
vivaciovs, aud its paragraphs and opinions are
more widely quoted than those of any Southern
journal. It discusses all questions of public in
terest. and touches upon all current themes.
V. “Bill Arp," the most geuial of humorests,
will continue to contribute to its columns, “Old
Si" and “Uncle Remus’’ will work iu their special
fields, and will furnish lun both in prose and
verse.
VI. It is a complete news, family and agricul
tural journal. It is edited with the greatest care,
and its columns contain everything of interest
in the domain of politics, literature and science.
VII. Iu addition to these, full reports of the
Supreme Court, and of the proceedings of the
General Assembly, will be published, ami no pains
will be spared to keep the paper to its present
standard.

The Atlanta Constitution with its new clothes,

The Ailauta Constitution has been making
steady progress the last lew years, and may

A War Reminiscence
It was during the winter of 1804
j ’65, which will long be remembered
J by the soldiers who took part iu the
; campaign iu the Valley of Virginia,
| as one which tried men’s souls aud
tlieir heels also, that the thrilling
j scene occurred which 1 am about to
j describe. Tho old Fourth Cavalry
was on a forced march down the
! Valley to meet a column of the
! enemy which was advancing, and
; alter a day’s ride went into bivouac
just at night fall ou the road side. •
We did not Gave the “cigars and ;
cognac,” as the old song says, with :
which “to bivouac,” so after a hasty j
“bite of something to eat,” aud;
picketing and leeding horses, we
souu rolled ourselves, head and ears,
iu our blankets, and lay prone upon
the forzen ground. To a tired
soldier sleep comes quickly, aud
with it almost entire oblivion; he
rarely dreams, so hardly more than
a minute elapsed after the lying
down before the entire camp was as
siieut as the grave. While preparing
for rest we bad been notified of a
coining snow storm, not only by the
black ciouds which hung heavily in
the Northeast, but by herald? iu the
shape of cutting snowflakes pro
pelled by the wintry blast. It was
fearfully cold; so bitter was it, in
deed, it was tnought expedient to
dispense with tne usual camp guard
so us to enable all to obtain what
ever of comfort was possible under
the circumstances. The regiment
at that time numbered between six
and seven hundred men, who, sol
dier-like, carring only lor the pres
ent, and unmindful of the morrow,
slept soundly aud, I may add, rap
idly. I had slept as I supposed only
a few minutes when I suddenly
awoke to consciousness, being made
aware of an immense pressure upon
mu accompanied with intolera
ble heat. In attempting to move I
fouud myself, as it were, packed
tightly iu a mould, which I fitted
exactly, and I was unable to turn
either to right or left. I soon found
that I was covered with a very
friendly blanket of snow. With a
vigorous push, I threw my biauket
oil', ami a most curious spectacle
presented itself to my aston shed
gaze. The black clouds had passed
away, and the bright morning moon
shone down upon the ground cov
ered with a white mantle of eight
niches of snow. Looking around
me, as far as the eye could reach iu
every direction, I saw nothing but
the unbroken snow covering which
appeared to be moulds or graves iu
every conceivable position. I was
sitting upright iu my own grave in
the middle of a huge cemetery. Not
a human being could I discover any
where, while everything was as still
as death itself. While I was wrapt
in the contemplation of so wonder
ful a scene, the bugle at head
quarters, a quarter of a mile oft',
sounded the reveille and 10, w’hat
a change! In an instant the quiet
scenery was alive—ail the men arose
at once from their snow graves, aud
what was the stillness of death but
a mouu'iit before was now bustle
and activity. Instantly the text
flashed through my mind “The
trumpet shall sound anil the dead
shall be raised.” Words fail me iu
describing my feelings at the mo
ment of this occurrence. Had I had
any idea of the time I would have
called some of my’ comrades. As it
was I am fortunate enough to be
probably the only person who has
really seen a prototype of the resur
rection.—Win. M. Fegrani in Scrib

How He Cured Them. —Many a
congregation make it a part of their
religion to twist their necks out of
joint to witness the entrance of
every person who passes up the
aisle of the church.
Being worried one afternoon by
this turning practice in his congre
gation, Mr. Dean stopped in his
sermon and said:
“Now, you listen to me, and I’ll
tell you who the people are as each
one of them comes in.”
He then went on with his dis
course until a gentleman entered,
when lie bawled out like au usher.
“Deacon A., Tvho keeps a shop
over the way ”
He again went on with his ser
mon, when presently another man
passed into the aisle, and ho gave
his name, residence and occupation.
So he continued for some time-
At length someone opened the
door who was uuknown to Mr.
Dean, when he cried out:
“A little, old man, with drab coat
and au old white hat. Don't know
him; look for yourselves.”
The congregation was cured.

| A queer legal question —Can a
1 man marry himself?—has come up
! recently iu the Irish courts, and 1
hns attracted much attention from
its novelty. The facts that gave rise
to the matter are these: Some yeare
ago Rev. Samuel Beamish, of Cork,
being then in charge of a congre
gation, went to the house of a milli
ner in that city, and under its roof,,
and in a private apartment, sought
a sentimental interview with a
young and comely apprentice, Isa
bella Frazer, and then and there'
performed tho marriage ceremony
between her and himself. No one
was present except the couple iu
question, and it was thought that
nobody had witnessed the peculiar
wedding; but it was shown that a
servant, Catharine Cofiey, had seen
what had occurred through a win
dow from an adjoining back yard,
having been drawn thither by sheer
curiosity. Catharine had not heard
the words or observed the forma
used on tho occasion—the ceremony
was the one prescribed in the Book
of Common Prayer—but Bhe had
carefully watched —as a woman’
would be likely to watch such u
proceeding—all that was going on.
Isabella Frazer, some time after,
gave birth to a son, and three years
later the clergyman died intestate.
Ho left considerable property, and
his brother contended that, as th
marriage had been illegal, the child
was illegitimate, and could not in
herit from his father. It would
seem that Beamish had not intended
to make Isabella his wife, but had
performed tho nuptial ceremony
merely to satisfy her scruples.
Pretty Widow Godfrey. —George
Alfred Townsend, writting from
Washington, says: Mrs. Godfrey,
tho pretty widow who - came into
unexpected prominence just before
the recess of Congress, in connection
with the young fellow Aoklin, of
Louisiana, goes around the city
freely with Ben Willis, her brother
in-law. I saw her in a front seat
of a theatre recently. She is a re
markably good proportioned wo
man, a little fuller than the word
slender would imply, yet lithe as
the vine that is yet lush with grapes.
Her hair has the English dewiness
upon its nearly sorrel brown, falls
low down upon her rather long
cheeks, kept company by a fiue ex
pressive nose, straight aud delicately
carved. Her eyes have in them the
Venus lights, soft yet arrowy, as if
they saw not much of interest in
woman, but appreciated man at his’
rascalities. Let me not forget the
skin, which is without a flaw, and
lighted up from beneath like the
rosy tremble of the dawn. Is this
a widow aud so like a maid? A sub
ject of an idle tale, and still so gentle
and unconscious? I don’t wonder
that a young man, with one glass
more than enough of wine, looking
on her, grew hilarious as some tipsy
satyr, and another man peeping
through the cracks, burst open the
door in the manner of the Roman
laddies coming to fisticuffs with the
Sabine spouses!
Oranges as a Regimen . — A vast
number of oranges are eaten by the
Spaniards, it being, in fact, no un
common thing for the children of a
family to consume some ten or
dozen oranges each before breakfast,
gathering them fresh for this pur
pose from the trees. Such whole
sale consumption of what is ooia
moulv looked upon as a luxury ap
pears to have no unhealthy effect
upon the system. Ou the contrary,
the testimony of a late eminent phy
sician authorizes the use of fruit as
most wholesome immediately upon
waking in the morning; he, indeed,
prescribed such a regimen to a
friend as the only invigorating and
permanent cure for indigestion,
facetiously remarking at the time
that he gave her a pieoe of advice
which, if it were known to his dys
peptic patients, would cost him his
practice, as they might prefer so
simple a remedy to his professional
visits.
