During the coming year-a year that will witness the progress and culmination of the most interesting political contest that has ever taken ptaco in this country—every citizen and every thoughtlul person will be compelled to rely upon the newspapers for information. Why not get the best ? Abroad The Constitution is recognized, referred to and quoted from as the leading Sou them Journal—as the orgau and vehi cle of the best Southern thought and opinion— and at home its columns are consulted for the latest news, tho freshest comment, and for all matters of special and current interest. The Con stitution contains more and later telegraphic news than any other Georgia paper, and this par ticular feature will be largely added to during the coming year. All its facilities for gathering the latest news from all parts of tho country will be enlarged and supplemented. The Constitution is both a chronicler and commentater. Its edito rial opinions, its contributions to the drift of cur rent discussion, its humorous aud satirical par agraphs, are copied from one end of the country tb the other. It aims always to be tho brightest and the best—newsy, original and piquant. It aims particularly to give the nows impartially and fully, and to keep its readers informed on the drift of current discussion by liberal but concise quo tations from all of its contemporaries. It aims, in short, to more than ever deserve to be known as •\he leading Southern newspaper." Bill Arp will continue to contribute his unique lcttere, which grow in savory humor week by week. “Old Si” will add his quaint fun to the collection of good things, and "Uncle Remus” has in preparation a series of negro myth legends, illustrating tho folk lore of the old plantation. In every respect The Constitution for 1880 will be better then ever. The Weekly Constitution is a carefully edited compendium of the news of the week and con tains the best and freshest matter to be found in any other weekly fironi a daily office. Its news anil miscellaneous contents aro the freshost and its market reports the latest. THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR.

Lngersoll ou Alcohol. Colonel Hobart Ingersoll was lately em ployed in ease which involved the nitin utacture of ardent spirits, and in hia speech to the jury he used the following language! "I am aware there is a predjudioe against any man engaged in the manufacture of alcohol. I believe from the time it issues from the coil and poisonous worm in the distillery until it empties into the hell of death, dishonor and crime, that it is de moralizing to every body that touches it, from the sour A; to where it ends. I do not believe that anybody can contemplate the subject without being prodjudiced against the crime. All we have to do is to think of the wrecks on either side the stream of death, of suicides, of the insani ty, of the poverty, of the destruction, of the little children tugging at the breasts of weeping and despairing wives asking for bread of the man of genius it has wrecked; the man struggling with imagi nary serpents, produced by this devilish thing; and when you thiuk of the jails, of the almshouses, of tho asylums, of the prisons and tho scalloldson either bunk, I do not wonder that every thoughtful man is predjudieed aguiust this vile stuff called alcohol. Intemperance cuts down youth in its vigor, manhood iiaits strength, and age in its weakness. It breaks the father's heart, bereaves,the doting mother, extin guishes natural affection, erasos conjugal love, blots out filial attachment and blights parental hope, and brings perma ture age in sorrow to the grave. It pro duces weakness, not strength; siekuess, not health, death, not life. It makes wives widows, children orphans, father's fiends, and all paupers. It feeds rheumatism, nurses gout, welcomes epidemics, invites cholera, imports pestilence, and embrace consumption. It covers the land with misery, idleness and crime. It engenders controversies, fosters quarrels und cher ishes riots. It crowds your penitentiaries and furnishes victims to the scallold. It Is the blood of the gambler, the element of the burglar, the prop of the highway man, and the support of the midnight in cendiary. It countenances the liar, re spects the thief, esteems the blasphemer, it violates obligations, reverences fraud, honors infamy. It defames benevolence, hates love, scorns virtue and innocence. It incites the father to butcher his help less offspring, and the child to grind the parental. axe. It burns up men, con sumes women, deserts life, curses God aud despises Heaven. It suborns witnesses, nurses perfidy, denies the jury box and stains the judicial ermine. It bribes vo ters, disqualifies voters; corrupts elections, polutes our institutions and endangers the Government. It degrades the citizens, debases the legislator, dishonors the states man and disarms the patriot. It brings shame, not honor; terror, not safety; desires not hope; misery, notliap])inss;and with the manevolance of a fiend, calmly sur veys its frightful desolation, and unsatia ted with havoc, it poisons felicity, kills peace, ruins morals, wipes out national honor, then curses the w orld aud laughs at its ruin. It does that aud more—it murders the soul. It is the sum of all vil lainies, the fathorof crimes, tho mother of all abominations, the devil’s best Iriend, and God’s worst enemy.” A Young Editor’s Experience With a Humorist. I mot Artemus Ward but once. I was quite young at that time, and was acting as city editor of the Star, published at Schenectady, N. Y. I was standing on a bridge at the time, and in talking about newspaper work was about to say some thing in regad to my heavy editorial re sponsibility, but Ward checked me by saying: “What creek is this?" “Creek !” I exclaimed, “why, this is the Erie Canal.” “How far is it navigable?” "Why, of course it it navigable from one end to the other.” “Well,” solemnly replied Ward, “that beats all the streams I ever heard of. By the way, I think I can make out some large boats anchored up the stream there— what are they, propellers or side-wheel ers ?" I replied that they were merly canal boats, and were moved by horse power. “Ah! I didn’t think the stream was so shallow ns that,” said Artemus. “As shallow as what?" “Why,you say that those boats are pull ed along by horses. Now, of course, they must walk along in front of the boat muent they ? I used to run a stone on my la mented Uncle John’s farm, and 1 distinct ly remember the horses walked along in front.” I mentally declared that I bad never met with such ignorance. I spentj some time in explaining the peculiarities of the big ditch, and just as I had begun to think that at last I had set the stranger right on the subject, he In eked my hopes into kindling W’ood by remarking. “I supbose that wheii the streams dries up in summer they put the boats on wheels don’t they?” Then I began again and explained ev ery feature of the canal from New York to Erie. How attentively he listened to my words. I can still see the meloncholy face, lit by the sad light of the stars, and those mournful eyes looking into mine so earnestly; and again I hear, as I did then after I had talked for nearly half as hour, going full into the details of boating, the low pathetic drawl: “Any saw mills on this stream that you know of?” Shortly after some gentlemen came along who seemed to be acquaited with my obtuse friend. Presently one called him Artemus, and then I commenced to reflect, I always reflect beet when I am hid away somewhere, so I went and hid myself. We have one satisfaction —not a single woman with “banged hair” has as far as heard from, captured a husband. We are thus hopeful that this class will die out with the present generation. Those now living in civilized society with “square cut bangs,” should be placed in solitary confinement until “the glory of woman shall be gathered upon tho head as befits her. The banged sister should “tarry at Jericho” till their bangs grow out. A farmer is respectfully informed that weeds on the arm.are got rid of by a little husbandry. So are those on a widow's bcfci&f. $2.50 A YEAR- A Boy Almost Torn to Pleows by a l>e perate Pair of Felines. Several days ago, says the Littla Rock, Arkansas, Gazette, we published an article from the Dardanello Arkansian, giving an aoceunt of a bull dog attacking and almost tearing a ooupje of children to pieces. Such a course from a bull dog is not surprising, but the following given us by Mr. George Harrison, of Poinsett coun ty, is something aside from the usual line of animal ferocity: Several mornings ago, a boy about 15 years old, a nephew of Mr. Harrison, an inmate of his family, went out to the bam to feed the horses. When he entered the loft he discovered two large cats lying on the straw asleep. Boy like, he took up a bundle of fodder, and creeping up, struck both of them at one blow. There was something of a disappointment in the re sult. The cats instead of running away, sprang at the boy w ith a fury that startled him. Having nothing with which to de fend himself, the boy tumbled around, while the cats squalled, claw ed and bit him unmercifully. Tho boy’s cries did not bring assistance, aud, of course, real izing the fact that it might prove fatal to delay desperate efforts, the boy sprung to ward the ladder leaning against the ratters, und ascended to the roof of the houses The cats followed him, and despite his ef forts to keep them away, bit and clawed - him frightfully. Realizing his ladder fol ly he jumped down on tho hay. The cqts followed him. By this time he was bleed ing very freely, and his coat was almost torn into threads. Seizing one of the cats by the hind legs, he attempted to beat it to death against the wall, but the animal turned and began tearing his arm. Shak ing the feline off, he ran to the ladder leading down. The animals followed him. Just as he reached the ladder, he discover ed a monkey-rench lying ou the floor. Soizing it, he tinned, dealt the foremost cat ab ow between the eyes, and, before it could recover mashed its head. The other animal war not rendered less fero cious by the death of its companion, but f ugbt wi h fi.ry. With a heavy blow t 9 boy stretched out the remaining feline und beat out its brains. Catching them bj the tails, he marched to the house to give an account of his battle. When ho entered the house ragged and bleeding from al most every inch of his body, holding two large cats by the tails, the astonishment of the uncle and the terror of tho aunt were what you might call boundltss. The boy has been confined to his bed since the encounter, and his physiciuns say that his recovery is doubtful. Heroic Act of au Engineer. Nick Hartman, the Lake Shore engine-.r in the accident near Glcnville, 0., is in a .critical condition, and his injuries may prove fatal. As soon as Hartman’s engine struck the Torpedo he shut off steam, put on the air brakes and turned on the sand. It took but a minute to do this, but at the end of that minute the brave engineer found himself wedged in between the debris of the wrecked caboos and the cab of his engine. The pressure on his chest was aw ful to endure. It was necessary to chop away the timbers around him before he could be liberated. When they had set him free, someone said. “Nick, why did you not jump like your firemen did ? The engineer looked contemptuously at his interlocutor and with an oath said: There was only one of me. There were five hun dred passengers behind me. I knew that by staying at my post I could probably save tkeir lives, and I stayed.” It is such men as Hartman who make, the practical heroes of life. He is a married man, the father of two children, and has been in tho employ of the Lake Shore road aboat twenty years. It’b What You Spend.—“lt’s whnt the’ll spend, my son,” said a sage old “not what the’ll make, which will decide whether thee’s to be rich or not.” The advice was trite, for it was Franglin’s in another shape: “Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of them selves.” But it cannot be too often repeat ed. Men are continually indulging in small expenses, saving to themselves it’s only a trifle, yet forgetting that the aggre gate is serious, that even the seashore is made up of pretty grains of sand. Ten cents a day is even thirty-six dollars- and a half a year, and that is the interest of a capital of six hundred dollars. The man that saves ten cents a day only, insomuch river than he who does not, as if he own ed a life estate in a house worth six hun dred dollars; and if invested quaterly; does not take half the time. Why She Wept—A young lady of Doug las, Mo., recently showed more good sense than is common with lovesick damsel. She had been courted Iw . y .•/ man who took the name of W **:•,• - !>,:■ t.d who through aft acqu -.n’ar > ve* Kt had secured her cons,u. that of her parents to their marriage. The twain were on their way to be married when West moreland was arrested by Sbrrilf Donald, of Springfield, Mo. It appears that the real name of Westmoreland, was Wood, that he had been indicted for fraudulent voting, and skipped from Springfield, and that the Sheriff had been sent in search of him. When the young lady was inform ed of the fact she cried as though her heart would break.
