, Speeiat Ourrtvpondence How Journal,
Having a little leisure this morn
ing, and thinking you would be
! ghtd to hear from Northwest Geor
gia, L have concluded to write an
ttcoount of my travels, provided it
1 will uot b© tn&spassing too much
upon your kindness in allowing me
■ space in t our valuable paper.
Well; to begin. I left home in a
hurried manner on the 25th ultimo,
for Atlanta. Spent Saturday at an
oldi fashioned, ante bellurn barbe
cue on the Georgia Pacific railroad
at; a prospective town in the woods
called Peyton; a town without
bouses; a town simply in the forest
one mile from the Chattahoochee
river, and which is destined at no
1 distant day to become a portion of
, Atlanta, being already within four
(Biles- of the city limits. We re
turned in tho afternoon to the city,
, lint; too late to take the train on the
I State road, consequently had to re
< main in Atlanta until the next day,
I which was Sunday. I found the
• city quite doll on that day of rest.
E tnet several of my Greene county
friends-on the street, amonc them
the genial and clever Edward
Ymnitg. of Greenesboro.
Must of the forenoon was spent
ait Oakland oemetery reading in
' script ion? upon tombstones aud
viewing the artistic beauty of the
great city of the dead. I admired
, the inasolemn of Mr E. E. Ruwson
and which is indeed a grand struc
’ turn of granite. Another, still more
I imposing, is tliat of the late Gen*
end . Alfred Austell, a magnificent
ißKrhb* ami granite structure,which
. on**; bis-estate tint stun of sixteen
ttuuueami do lain.
W* • (i.asseti the vault where repose
the remains of Georgia's beloved
’ Htatiwman anti the world’s great
, 1 ssfiefaetor, the Hon. A. H. Ste
phen* and witli a sad heart recalled
’ the ttomv pleasant hours spent with

along The
scenes aloug ite remimlcil
ns of the Kennesaw
and Lost Monrhdpßn the distance
and had pointed
out to ns ; all onps£t>a placed are
noted as battle grounds during the
last war. Spent Ipe pight in Cttr
tersville ; found tbgs to be a thri
ving little city ol % 'out 3,000 in
habitants. It is si -f ated in a lieau
tifnl valley antluLtrrouoded by
mountains. Bill’NS'ji, t!ie unique
humorist, residcS|iSot far "distant
bat as he was nfit in town, we
missed the covett@lJ<pleasnre of an
interview. Saw the Turks, id)ora
he described in Ijrfs Constitution
letter of tho 27th and who attrac
ted a considerable crowd.
Since my arrivaljn this secton,
I have visited of Bar
tow, Paulding, Floyd aud
Cobb; all are og/icultural aud
mineral conntiesJMbrtow surpass
es the others but
the abundance mPßmeral wealth,
which we find iithTother counties
named, can hardly be found else
where. At Rockruart, in Polk
county, at the junction of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Geor
gia railroad, with the East & West
railroad of Alabama. We visited
the Slate Quarry, <tnd saw a per
fect mountain of slate, sufficient to
supply the demand for all time to
come. We were formed that it
had been work and for eighteen
years, and yet t’-eie seems to be
but a small indentation pecked in
the side of the mountain. Justice
court was in at Roekmart
with a vast amou'-t of business,
and we were s uLrised to find
Judge , Joint-W )£s*#. daderwoq;!,
member of the TTi Sfrartfi' com
mission, engaged in this court.
He was actually engaged in a rail
road case ; an action for damages
for the killing of a cow. We also
attended a justice court at Euhar
lee in Bartow cousty, at which
there were eleven lawyers from
Cartersville. Here I formed the
acqnantanee of the Hou. A. IV.
Eite, of Bartow, a member oj the
preseut legislature and author of
the Apportionment Bill. At this
court the docket had over one
hundred cases upon it.
Besides minerals, Floyd and
Polk counties can boast of a tine
body of pine timber, and saw mills
are no strange or new sights to the
people here. One of the important
of these is ovyncd D. W. Rogers
(fc Cos. Two of the firm are broth
ers of Mr. Henry P. Rogers of our
county, and are energetic, enter
prising business men. With a cap
ital of about $30,000, they cut ab
out 22,000 feet per day ; have usu
ally about eight hundred thousand
feet of lumber on hand. They have
besides their saw mill a plaining,
lathiug and shingle mill. Their
business has become so extensive
that they have built a railroad nine
miles in length for the purpose of
shipping lumber to the E. T. V. <fc
G. R. R. aud the E. & W. Ala.
road. They conduct also a gener
al mercantile business and give
employment to about one hundred
persons. This place is named Et
owah and church, school
Ac. Another mill owned by Beaz
ley and Sheffield, is of the most
improved machinery and doing a
splendid business. They cut from
15,000 to 20,000 feet per day aud
have at this time 400,000 feet of
superior lumber in their yard.
Their market is Dayton Ohio, and
they own about 1(5,000 acres of this
fine pine land.
On Sunday tho 10th, had the
pleasure to listen to a most excel
lent sermon by Rev. J. G. Ryals,
from the text, “Looking unto Je
sus.” and on yesterday heard the
Independent Ex-member of Cou
gres, Dr. IV. H. Felton, whose text
was "Tile shields of the earth be
long unto Gwd.’V*He impressed
me as being an able, fluent and for
cible reasoner, hut not an eloquent
speaker.
Crops are fine in North Georgia;
small grain prettv'jgood, plenty of
rain thus far. This mountain cli
mate ia delightful, its pure, invigo

scenery renders it one of the most

a word, it is the ftwitzerlund of

TECHNICAL. EDUCATION.
SOME NOTES FROM A MEMBER OF THE
Legislature appointed to inveS
TIQATE THE SUBJECT.
The General Assembly of Geor
gia, at its last session, appointed a
committee from its body to visit
the north and examine different
schools of technology, and report
at its next meeting, upon the advi
sability of establishing such an in
stitution in tbis state. That com
mittee has performed its pleasant
task, and in due time will report
unanimously in favor of such a
school. The Constitution ol last
Tuesday, publishes an interview
with Hon. F. P. Rice, Representa
tive from Fulton And a member of
tlie committee, who returns from
the north quite enthused by what
ha saw and heard. We have only
space for the following extract from
this inteVview :
“What schools did you visit ?”
“We visited the schools at Bos
ton, Worcester and Hoboken, and
Cooper institution, in New York.”
“What is the general plan of ed
ucation in these schools ?”
“A young man is taken to the
carpeuter’s bench and blacksmith's
forge, and is taught carefully, one
step at a time; his brain educa
tion keeping pace with the educa
tion of bis hands until he becomes
a skilled and a scientific scholar in
the fullest sense. Beyond the
ground work of a general indus
trial education there are specialties
which each boy chooses for him
self. For example he becomes a
mineralogist, mechanical engineer,
mining, engineer a chemist, super
intendent of factories, iron works,
bridge worker, ship building or any j
industrial sphere that he desires j
to fill.”
“Is there a demand for the ser- i
vices of such students ?”
* A demand that is double the
supply. Faster than these young
men can graduate are there de--
mands for their services.”
“Wlmt salaries do they receive ?”
“•‘•'i.v tm ’s toa fiJi(iJun
self by this practical education for
practical work can count on re
ceiving when he graduates from
three to five thousand dollars a
year, aud will fiud himself wanted
in half a dozen different sections
of the country. above
this sahitv depends on his own
tact and efficiency. Many of them
are able to command their own
terras iu the business tliat they
organize aud superintend.”
From the Macon Telegraph and Messenger.
After transacting the prelimina
ry business necessary in New York,
the committee resolved to proceed
at once to Boston, for the purpose
of visiting the Masachusetts Insti
tute of Teclioology, legated at that
poiut. It had been reported to the
members of the committee that
this institution probably afforded a
better field for the prosecution of
the inquiries with which the com
mittee was charged than any other
in the North.
The president is General Francis
A. Walker, late head of the Census
Bureau, a gentleman of great learn
ing and culture, and strongly im
pregnated with the idea that tech
nical education is the destined sal
vation of the country. He met us
with the greatest imaginable affa
bility, and carried us through ev
ery department of the institution
under his charge, explaining iu de
tail and in a practical and business
way all the requirements necessa
ry to the establishment of such an
institution. •
The annual income of this college
is about $60,000. There are fort} 7
professors. The students in atten
dance at the last session amounted
to 016. The investments in build
ing and machinery aggregate about
$370,000. The permanent endow- i
ment found is $267,000. There is
a foundry, machine shop, carpeu
ter shop, assaying and mining de
partment, forges, a school of de
sign, and a spinning and weaving
department, together with all the
other aparatus found in first-class
literary colleges. There are five
purely professional courses, to-wit:
1. Civil and topographical engin
eering. 2. Mechanical engineer
ing. 3. Mining engineering, or
mining and geology. 4 Building
and architecture. 5. Chemistry.
The training is both practical
and theoretical. The students
work in the shops until they learn
bv actual trial and experiment the
mode of shaping, lmndliug and
constructing tools, machines and
all other matters of like character.
This institution does not seek to
utilize the practical results of the
student's labors. Everything is
subordinate to the idea of instruc
tion.
The course requires four years
to complete. Tho graduating stu-
-
! dent is prepared to fill any posi
tion in the great industrial depart
ments of the country. He may
.choose anyone of several profes
sions. Owing to this fact these
students are in great demand, and
it lias been found difficult to retain
any of them even to fill valuable
j positions as teachers in the insti
tution which gradutes them.

THE TALLEST MAN.
John Wesley said once, “Beware
how you invite rich men into your
churches until you are sure they
are Christian. Beware how you
manage your churches in such a
way that rich men will become a
necessity to yon. If your church
buildings are so luxurious that yon
need an enormous income,' wealthy
1 tneu will be necessary to you, and
they will rule you, and then you
(must soon bid farewell to Metho
dist doctrine.” A wiser thing was
!never said. A more unpopular
| thing, perhaps, could hardly be re
peated at this hour; but the truth
is,—but I am not a pastdr or!
preacher, and ns nobody can sup
pose that I am making oblique
personal references here, —I ven
ture to say that even in republican i
America there are a great many
luxurious churches, especially in 1
the wealriiiest society of cities, who
do not want poor men as members.
When a revival occurs, the ques
tion concerning many converts is
not “Ate they soundly Christian?"
but, “How much are they worth?.” j
[Laughter] “What is their social
standing?” “Am I willing to have
one of these converts next me in a
pew?” “Are they likely to add
anything important to the financial
or social strength of our society?” \
Under the voluntary system we
must have money, we must draw
rich men into the churches ; but, if
they stand there on their money
bags, aud ask to be measured, not
according to the height of their
Christian character, but according
to the height of these pedestals of)
worldliness—money, social posi- j
tion, hereditary rank, connections |
with pnblic affaire,—then, I say, the:
time has come for ns to east abroad ;
God’s truth ns scythes to mow down \
all these unnatural growths. On

ON CALL.
He was a Buffalo man. The
school, teacher had been talking
about finance 10 her scholars, and
young John came home to ask :
“Father, is there suen a thing as
a call loan ?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Well, what is it?”
“Why, old Swipes the doctor
cotnes bustling in some afternoon
—note to meet —needs just fifty
more—hand it back next da}’ —and
I’m fool-enough to lend it. That’s
the loan part of it.”
“Yes.”
“I wait two weeks, need the
monqy, and call at his office. He
isn’t in. I call again, he is out. I
call forty or fifty times, always miss
him, call to him on the street and
he doesn’t hear, call him an infer
nal dead-beat and that ends it.
There’s the call and there’s the
loan, and here’s the idiot. That’s
all!”
—ln the following extraet the
Augusta Chronicle takes a sensi
ble view of the cottoo and vegeta
ble questions; “We have no doubt
that truck farming will, under fa
vorable railway schedules, prove
remunerative to men who know
how to manage their affairs iu the
best manner, just as cotton is a
profitable crop to first-class plant
ers who buy for cash, avoid mort
gages and practice thrift. We
would like to see the South feed
herself and all but her
hold on cotton culture is not to be
released. This region is not to
be turned into a universal cucum
ber patch by flamboyant and ro
mantic letters in the daily papers.”
■ - •
—The South is, as the New York
Times states, “known to-day to be
almost incalculably fertile in the
essential elements of material prog
ress. Its agriculture may fairly be
said to have but scratched the sur
face of its soil; its manufactures !
are hardly more forward than those |
of the sea-board Northern States
at the opening of the century ; its
wealth of opal end metals is prac
tically immeasurable; its commerce
has hardly burst its swaddliug
clothes ; the newly awakened ener
gy and ambition of its people are
constantly directed, and for many
years will be directed, to almost
uninmgined fields."

—Senator Thurman is reported
as saviug that the only regret of
his life was that he had gone into
polities. He would have been a
happier and a better man if he
had obeyed his original impulse
and stuck to farming.

DILL ARP SPEAKS.
The misfortune 'of onr people is
waste. Everything i§ used at the
Dorth, and everything brings moa
ey. It is not so bad in Tennessee
as it is in Georgia, I saw a man
sell one walnnt tree in Shelby coun
ty for forty dollars, and he sold it
as it stood in the woods, and it
went up north and came back to us
in furniture. I met Mr. Thomas
Stovall last week, and be has been
lin England and France and Ger
many for six years, and he made
me t feel good, talking about this
region and this good old state.
He said with enthusiasm: “I telf
; you, my dear sir, I have traveled a
great deal s and seen many lands
and many people, but this is .the
best land I ever was in and we
have the best people. In London"
you live between palaces and beg
gars, and there is poverty, rags
aud filth and suffering everywhere
but here. Our people are not riclf
but they are comfortable, and ought
to be contented and happy, and
they would be if they didn’t look
over the fence. That is all that is
the matter. We look over the fence
tco much aud if our nabors bavt
got better thhigs than We have wo
want ’em.”
1 Yes, that so—not obly so but
tdso, as Cobe sav9, for we not only
hanker after what other people have
got but we would make theni ccme
to a divide if we could. When it!
man gets a little ahead his nabors
I want to catch him by the coat tail
and pull him back a peg or two.
We have plenty of humanity for
those who are worse oft' than we
j are, that is, we are sorry for em
and talk a good deal of sympathy,
i but if a man gets rich and swells
around, or has a fortune left him,
nobody cares how soon he loses it.
But human nature is mighty kind
after all.. Human nature respects
honesty and fair dealing and gen
erosity, and loves virtue f6r its own'
sake. Hainan nature honors wom
an and loves children, and respects
1 old age, and sympathises with grief
| and misfortune and most every otb
|er calamity except when a rich
man loses his money. So I know
, I am iu no danger. My nabors
will when I die,
.and- tears and
say “well his faults as we
all have, but Bill was a good-hear
ted man.” Thanks!

ABOUT BATHING.
Tho Royal Humane Society of
Loudou has just published a list of
cautions to bathers, which may
well be referred to the attention of
our readers, at this season when 1
bathing, either iu salt or fresh wa
ter, will bo freely practiced. The
rules are not new, but practical and
I Valuable, as follows :
Avoid bathing within two Lours
after a meal.
Avoid bathing when exhausted
I by fatigue or from any other cause.
Avoid bathing when the body is
cooling after perspiration.
Avoid bathing altogether in the
open air if, having been a short
time in the water, it causes a sense
of chilliness with numbness qf the
hands and feet. ,
Bathe when the body' is warm,
provided no time is lost in getting
in the water.
Avoid chilling the body by sitting
or standing undressed on the banks
or in boats after having been in
the water.
Avoid remaining too long ip the
! water—leave the water immedi
ately there is the slightest feeling
of chilliness.
The vigorous and strong may
bathe early in the morning on an
empty stomach.
The young, and those who are
weak, had better bathe two or three
hours after a meal—the best time
for such is from two to three hours
after breakfast.
Those who are subject to giddi
uess or faintuess, aud those who*
suffer from palpitation and other
sense of discomfort at the heart
should not bathe without first con
sulting their medical adviser.
ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.
Young men, if you are going to'
be a farmer, be a good- one. Be
the chief worker yourself. It is
the first that wins esteem and re
spect. Study, observe and listen,
aud gather information pertaining
to your business from every source,
and yon can soon know as much as
any one. Let no day pass without
some increase of knowedge. What
ever you cultivate, do it well. What
ever stock you have, let it be good,;
and take good care of it, and im
prove it as fast as vour means will
admit. Whatever fruit you have/
let it be choice, and stmly how to'
improve it, how to market it so as
to got the highest price. If you
have a garden, let it be the first in
the neighborhood. Beat tho head
of tho class, not third or fourth, or
at tho foot.—Gazette Greensbtirg,
