When the small boys top rotates at a speed that utterly dupes the vision, he savs “it is asleep.” Are our times asleep, or (It) they situply speed at fin indistinguishable rate ? Cycloues, bifurcated and trifurca ted, yet raging loosely in all quar ters, mingling with epidemic hy drophobia, spring floods, stray carp and catfish, “quiet elections,” nig ger problems, etc. etc., rise and fall, like olden empires, yet scarce disturb the well-poised cheerfulness of the many. Has a sounder phil osophy possessed the public mind, or stoic iudifference succeeded ? Is it possible that the fourth estate has fatigued the public discontent? Are mankind jollv, through sheer weariness of anxiety? Pdf Imps the farcical after-pieces have sandpa pered off the edges of tragic fervor. Certainly we have had three Gov ernors within a half year and the fruit crop has survived politics and false prophets. Storm pits are prescribed and described. Very well, but suppose the tornado “gits thar fust” as Gen. Forrest would say. Whose will be the pit then ? Public calamity throws a goodly accident into the Executive office and the old thing moves along its wonted grooves. Thereupon Gra dy proclai as the administration “courageous.” Wonder if anybody scared little Aleck ? Doubtless the Chief Magistracy is a penilous po sition. But the wild beasts will take themselves to their wilds, when our Mack opens house on Peachtree. “A gallant fight” is the name given to the abortive efforts of the office-hunter to secure spoil. Mean time the smirking appointed sim-j pers behind his desk and imagines | himself the State. The great com-1 moner, who “never made a mistake in his life,” shrinks before the “nig- 1 ger problem” whilst village states-! men solve it like a lump of sugar. 1 How does it seem, that a seces sion, fire-eating, strict-construction states-rights man should counsel in comparative soberness, the forcible colonization, by Congress, of six millions of American citizens! Where is the Constitutional per mit? Why not white men as well as black men ? What limitation on Congressional power, in any direc tion, if this thing may be done ? Do these rustic Solons have any conception of the office of a written American Constitution? Let these problems alone, my little friends and in His own good time, the Master will send Moses, with full instructions. “The sky is falling, Ducky Daddies,” so says Mother Goose, from the baby hood of Mathuselah. Neverthless the Builder stands by His work and “doeth all things well.” Let not your heart be troubled about au others responsibility. Blue mass and bromide! Affliction in other form has come upon onr State. Gen. William M. Browne, of the University, the Ad mirable Crichton of Georgia schol arship, was a modest, massive man. His capacity for work was wonder ful and its exerciseliisdelight. His labors were all beneficent. He achieved just the success under taken, with such faeije deftness as to escape observation? A labored failure would have advertised hint well. The Rev. Win. H.^ ; f. lVV tovd, who lately died at Pine 111* ,;V\ t kiinsas, was not a corupetitoi Sfen; A. H.

The “Waverly Yyigaafno” thus wisely discourses ctk.h Fn'ug poor men’s wives. Many young men at. the present time, are hindered from serious attempts to find a wife be cause they believe that the young ladies of the present time who move in the middle and higher circles of society, will not be contented with a plain and humble borne : The trouble is, none of our young women are willing to be come poor men’s wives profes sedly, even though they may be so in reality. The giii who marries upon a thousand dollars a year looks forward to a life spent in sec ond rate boarding houses, from which she will squeeze out a certain cheap domesticity and some inex pensive pleasures. The children which heaven may send are not thought of nor provided for. It is a question whether the young wife can make herself a dress or pre pare a wholesome meal of victuals. She tparries for freedom, to have a good time, spends money which she neither earns nor helps to earn— for heaven knows what—but cer tainly uot to make ft comfortable if humble home for bar husband. In this respect we consider the Brit ish girl has an immense advantage over the American. From the highest to the lowest circles of so ciety in Britain, girls are trained to make good and useful wives. Inasmuch as ladies preside over the department of their households, and see that everything is kept clean and the food is well cooked, so also iu the lower classes, moth ers teach their daughters to do the same for themselves, without suf fering any losq of dignity in the doing of it. Many of our American girls will be surprised to learn that Princess Louise frequently makes her own pastry—and makes it well, too. On one occasion, some apri cot tarts of her making being prais ed by a guest, the royal lady wrote out a receipt, with the words un derlined : “If you desire to have an apricot tart properly cooked, al ways make it with an upper crust!” The s ory has point, and the point is that one can never know how to do a thing too well. —The ages of the Supreme Court Judges are as follows: Judge Hat lan is 50, and the youngest man on the bench; the Chief Justice is G 7; Judge Field, 67; Judge Bradley, 70; Judge Woods, 59; Judge Stanley Matthews, 59; Judge Gray, 55, and Judge Blatchford, 63.

THAT HORRID BOY, AND THETERRIBLE PRANK HE PLAYED. ILE AND HIS CHUM PLAY BURGLARS, AND THE FATHER ALMOST DIES—A ; PATENT LINIMENT POURED ON, DAD RECOVERS. “I hear you had burglars over !to your house last night,” said the ! grocery man to the bad boy, as he j came in and sat on the counter ' right over a little gimlet hole, where the grocery man had fixed a darn jing needle so that by pulling a , stringy the needle would fly up through me Mole rhq rub into the jboyabcut an inch. The grocery | man had been laying for the boy (for two days, and now that he had ! got him right over the hole the first i time, it made him laugh to think j how he would make him jump and yell, and as he edged off and got ;hold of the stung the boy looked !unconscious of impending danger.; (The grocery imiu pulled and the: j boy sat still. He pulled again | j and again, and finally tho boy said: “Yes, it is reported that we had burglars over there. O, needn’t pul! that string any more; I heard you was setting a trap for me, and : I put a piece of a board iuside my | pants, aud thought I would let you ! exercise yourself. Go ahead, if it .amuses you. It don’t hurt me.” The grocery man looked sad, aud then smiled a sickly sort of a smile at the. failure of his plan to puncture the boy, aud then said : “Well, how was it ? The poliece tmtu did uot seem to know much about the particulars. He said there was so much deviltry going on at your house that nobody could tell when anything was serious, aud he was inclined to think that it was a put up job.” “Now let’s have an understand ing,” says the boy. “Whatever I say you are not to give me away. It’s a go, is it ? I have always been afraid of you, because you have a sort of decayed egg look about you. Yon are like a peck of potatoes with the big ones on top, a sort of a strawberry box with the bottom raided mi, so I have often thought you would go buck on a fellow. lint if you won’t give this away, here goes You see I heard urn tell pa to bring up another bottle of lini ment lust night. ‘When ma lias a pain anywhere she just use3 lini ment for all that is out, and a pint bottle don’t last more than a week. “Well, I lokl my chum, and we laid for pa. This liniment ma uses is offul hot; and almost blisters. Pa went to the Langtry show, and did uot get home till eleven o’clock, and me and my chuin decided to teach pa a lesson. I don’t think it is right for a man to go to the thea tre and not take bis wife or his little boy. So we concluded to burgle pa. We agreed to lay on the stairs, and when became up my chum was to hit on the head with a dried blad der and I was to stab him on his breast pocket with a stick, break the liniment bottle, and make him think lie was killed. It coudn’t have worked better if we had re hearsed it. We had talked about burglars at supper time, and got pa. nervous, so when he came up stabs and was hit on the head with the bladder, the first thing he said was burglars by mighty and he star ted to go back and then I hit him on the breast pocket, where the bot tle was, and then we rushed by him down stairs, and I said in a stage whisper, “I guess he’s a dead man,” and we went down to the cellar and up the back stairs to toy room and undressed. Pa hollered to ma that he was murdered, and ma called me, and I came down in my night shirt, and the hired girl she came down, and pa was on the lounge, and he said his lifeblood was fast ebbing awfiy, He held his hand on the wound, and said he could feel tire warm blood trickling clear down to Ins boots. I told pa to stuff some tar into the wound, such as he told me to put on mv lip to make my mustache grow, and pa said: “My boy, this is no time for trifling; your pa is on his last legs. When I came up stairs I-met six burglars, and I attacked them, and forced four of them down, and was going to hold them and send for the poliece, when two more, that I did u<>t know about, jumped on me, and I was getting the best of them, when one of them struck me over the head with a crow bar. and the other stabbed me to the heart with a butcher kuife. I have re ceived rny death wound, my boy, and my hot Southern blood, that I offered up so freely for my coun try in her time of need, is passing from my body, and soon your pa Will be only a piece of poor clay. Get some ico and put on my stom ach, and all the way dowD, for I am burning up.” “I went to the water pitcher and got a chunk of ice and put inside pa’s shirt, and while ma was tear ing np an old skirt to stop the flow !of blood, I asked pa if he felt bet ; ter, and if he could describe those villains who had murerdedhim. Pa ' gasped and moved his legs to got | them cool from the clotted blood, he said, nud he went on : One of them was about six foot high and had a sandy mustache. I got him | down and hit him in the nose, stud if the poliece find him his nose will : be broke, '.rite second one was thick set and weighed about two hundred. I had him dowD, and jmy boot was on his ueck, and wus | knocking two more down when I jwas hit. The thick set one will have the mark of boot heels on his i throat. r, ’ell the police, when I'm 'gone, about tke boot heel marks. ‘By- this time run had got the j skirt tore up, and she stuffed it un : der pa’s shirt, right where he said jhe was hit, and pa was telling us j what to do to settle his estate, when ma began to smell the liniment, and she found the broken bottle in ; his pocket, and searched pa for the place where he was stabbed, aud 1 ! then she begun to laugh, and pa got mad aud said he didn’t see as a deathbed scene was such an al mighty funny affair, aud then she told him he was not hurt, but that he had fallen on the stairs and broke his bottle, and that there was no blood c n him, and he said, do yon mean to tell me ruy body aud legs are not bathed iu human gore,” and then pa got tip and found it was ouly tho liniment. He got mad and asked ma why she didn’t fly around and get some thing to take that liniment off his legs, as it was eating them right through to the bone, and then he saw my chum put his head in the door, with one gallus hanging down, and pa looked at uie and then he said, “Look a-here, if I find out .it was you boys that put up this job on me, I’ll make it so hot for you that you will think liniment is ice-cream in compari- ; son.” I told pa it didn’t look rea sonable that mo and my chum ; -. v. v.. could bo six burglers, six feet high, with our noses broke, and bootheel marks our neck, and pa he said for us to go to bed alllired quick, and give him a chance to rinse of that liniment, and we retired. Say, how does my pa strike you as a good single-handed liar? and the boy went up to the counter while the grocery.man went alter a scut tle of coal. j In the meantime, one of the gro cery man’s best customers, a dea cou iu the church, had come and sat down on the counter, over the darning needle, and as the grocery man came in with the coal the boy pulled the string, went out doors and tipped over a basket of ruta bagas, while the deacon got down off the counter with his hand clasp ed, and anger in every feature, and told the grocery man that he could whip him iu two minutes. Tiie grocery man asked what was the matter, and the deacon hunted up the sewreo from whence the darning needle came through the counter, and as the boy went across the street the deacon and the grocery man wore rolling on the floor, the grocery man trying to hold the deacon’s fists while he explained about the darning nee dle, and that it it was intended for the, boy. How it came out the boy did not wait to see. SENSIBLE RULES. 1. From your children’s earliest infancy, inculcate the necessity of instant obedience. 3. Unite firmness with gentleness.

If they give way to petulance or ill-temper, wait till they are calm and then genti} - reason with them on the impropriety of their con duct. 8.

A SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION SHOWS THE ORIGIN OF'FEVERS. From the Atlanta Constitution. Dr. James H. Salisbury publish es iu a recent number of the Scien | tific American the results of a mi j nute, patient and thorough investi gation of the cause of mtdaria. He had the aid of all that scientific knowledge and mechanical skill could supply, and he gave years to ; tho important subject. As the grand result of all his work he tells us that the cause of the disease that afflicts no small portion of the country is found in a very small plant that prefers a newly exposed, low-lyig rich soil— a-pluie, in oth ,cr words, in the soil of a swainpv Sec'iou. He calls this enemy of !.mankind the ague-plant. It is nev jer, lie says, wanting where malari |al fevers are found. It is ofteu ;carried by the wind to consideraV ble dis 1 antes, producing, in such i cases, the Saule results as charac terize its place of germination. It sometimes remains suspended iu the evening or early morning air, and whenever it thus exists disease I quickly follows. i When first inhaled, says Dr. Sal lisbury, it causes in a few uiiuutes, I a dry, feverish, constricted feeling in tiie mouth, fauces and throat, | and the feeling soon extends dowu i ward to the bronchial and pnlrno | nary surfaces, producing iu them a j constricted, feverish, heavy, con jgestive feeling and dull pain. The ! matter from the ague plant poisons | the surface with which it comes iu j contact, nud there seems to be an I effort on the part of the exposed mucous surfaces to close up their absorbent orgaus until this poison ous matter can be dislodged by the swallowing, hawking aud spitting they excite. The only constant for eign bodies found in the expecto rations of those afflicted with the local symptoms here uatued, exci ted by walking over ague bogs, of ,by exposing one’s self to heavy j night air of ague districts, are the ! minute excellnlar particles of the I ague plant. These particles excite I local fever in the mucous’surfaces, j and at length there is general fever iof an intermittent or remittent i type. j Whether the reader accepts the doctor’s theory or not, his experi ments can scarcely fail to bo inter esting. Ho produced disease in persons living many miles from dis tricts afflicted with chills and fever, simply by exposing them to the emanations from cakes of boggy soil on which the villainous little ague plaut was growing—this, too, jun a high, hilly country, having a dry, sandy and rocky soil, on which there had never been a case of ague. “I here placed,” says the doctor, “six boxes of ague plants on the sill of an open second-story window opening into the sleeping apartments of two young men. On the twelfth day one of the young meu had a well-marked parox ysm of ague, and on the fourteenth the other was taken down with the disease. Both had began to feel dull and unnatural on the sixth j day. All three stages of the parox lysit were well marked, the type be ing tertian.” The doctor found the result highly satisfactory,” and re peated the experiment at another point in the same neighborhood os. a young man and two boys. In this instance “the boys were taken, down with this disease, one ou the tenth and one on the thirteenth day of exposure, while the young man escaped.” Another instance.is ci ted iu which a physician, his wife and daughter, were all afflicted with well marked paroxysms of ague from having spent several evenings in a room in which a “pan of ague soil” had been pat away, covered loosely and forgotten," What adds interest to this ease is the fact that it occurred in winter, after the ground had been frozen and all danger of taking the disease out side the house had ceased. It is inferred that the artificial warmth of the room had protracted the ague plaut’s period of summer growth. If Dr. Salisbury is sure of bis facts, if he can, in other words es tablish all that lie states bv actual demonstration, it is difficult to av oid an acceptance of his theory. If we have an ague plaut in our swamps and lieli low lands, it is very important that we should know it The stirring of such soil iu the making of ditches or other work in the hot season of the year is a matter of life and death and if people can be brought face to face with the direct cause of the disease in such cases, gi eater care will be taken to avoid the penalty. ‘ The ague-plant theory has just been presented to the public, and it bus not of course been generally accep ted by the scientific world ; but let us hope that the investigation wilt not slacken uutil its truth or falsi* tv is demonstrated beyond reason* able doubt.
