—THE DUTIES OF THE LEGISLATURE

TECNOLOGY.
Special Correspondence Home Journal.
Thanks for the kind words of
your last issue. It is immaterial
to me, “who first established a
Technological school in Georgia ”
The subject is not new. Such
schools existed one hundred years
ago in France. And French expe
rience should be as good as our
own. The fool learns by his own
experience—the wise man by his
observation of another’s experience.
In.the recent Luiitico-Geormn .v.nv,

crush. Government was annihila
ted -society in great measure dis
organized. So it was in this state
iu 1865 etseq. Iu both cases the
destruction of property was im
mense. By reason of emancipa
tion, the total dinifftutiou of prop
erty was greater in Georgia, whilst
demoralization was greater here,
also. Yet this property, that ceas
ed to be property, still remained,
and retained a greiefc measure of its
productiveness The German in
demnity, reaching into hundreds
of millions, actually removed
from France that much weakh-pro-
power. So that, On the
wnoWjfclie auah>gvqs striking! aml
the disparities nut great, between
France and Georgia, after defeat.
Mark the swquel. ‘•’Fifteen years
after tiie restoration of government;’
under the same old organic law, to
which we were used, we find Geor
gia scarce beginning to emerge from
her poverty, and really sunk lower
in ignorance than at any former pe
riod. Contra.
Five years after the surrender j
of Paris, we find order reigning!
throughout France, under a gov
ernment different, radically, from
Mil at they had ever known ; the
vast indemnity debt *paid before
maturity, without borrowing a cent
from a neighbor ; and indeinuify
f'ng France richer than indemnified
formally ! Wonderful indeed ! the
political miracle of this generation.
The analogy between France and
Georgia has taken wings. Whence
this antipodal difference ? Was
it because Georgia shared in the
nifinopoly of the greatest commer
cial staples' of the world—denied
to France? That cause indicates
a contrary conclusion. The true
difference is this. Iu France brain
and Irrawn were in the happiest
state of conuubi.il unity. Iu Geor
gia, they were divorces. In Geor
gia, cultivated intellect applied its
energies to the so-called learned
professions and polities—non-pro
ducing—consuming. In France
cultured intellect applied itself to
the industrial economies and that
beautiful land sprang to her feet
with an energy, that has filled Bis
marck’s ears with alarms ever since.
Here the illiterate negro is the chief
producer of our cherished staples,
and his stolid brain competes suc
cessfully with his paler neighbor,
in mechanic art. Polytechnic train
ing revived France—the same cau
ses will make a garden of this wil
derness.
In July 1878, the city attorney of
Milledgeville presented to the Trus
tees of the University at Athens, a
copy of a Bill to organize the col
lege here, and urged its approval
! i
upon them, as the incipient Poly
technic school of th’otSottth. In
November 1878, that s.itue attorney
in an address to the Educative
Committee of the House of Repre
sentatives, at Atlanta, impressed
the same consideratioriKupon them,
using the French c . unple, above
’suggested. Ho pictur'd to them a
full-fledged polytechnic school, as
the ultimate object ofkije scheme,
pretermitted in great sh t from the
Bill, lest its masinitudjk should de
feat it. The Bdl askifr’ $10,000 for
equipment and £s<j{p.iiijuai en
dowment. He iusisttjF that they
experiment, by pie<‘e-meal, with
this Scheme, that its VpSl'ial suc
cess might common.WHß gradual

led iu a most able on the
1 samy line. That L giAiture struck
out the appropriation!* and tabled
the Bill. One'year latdfti hev “loan

! Year after year, niutv, the Local
Board of Trustees h.-i importun

! in this wisest cxperiju*ut of Sontli
! eru rehabilitation. That august
body of politicians has'ignored its
real merits and esteemed it only as
a probable feeder of Franklin col
lege— tjief ’ aoU-progresaive, “rock
and pumpkin” policy of their dad
dies.
There are peu the
General Assembly two Bills, that

TIIE WAY TO SUCCESS.
The surest way to success in life
is that of persistent and thorough
work. (Speculators who make
tnouey rapidly, generally lose it
with equal rapidity. It is the pa
tient, steady plodders who gain
I and keep fortunes. William H.
! Webb, the great sb?p builder of:
New York, is a good example;
for the young men of the United
States. His father ffiid won a large
fortune in ship builuug, and like
many loving fathers,-'wished an eas- i
ier life for his favorite boy. But
tbe young man preferred bis fath
:or’s trade, and determined to mas-;
ter it. He went into,the ship yard
| like a common workman, beginning
at tbe foot of the ladder and ac
quired great skill in the use of all j
the tools. Soon even the experi
lenced hands did not 'equal him in
: nicety of work. He was still a
young man when his father died,
i but lie continued the business, and
won iu it a high reputation. He
was tiie first mail in the yard iu the
i morning ft-nd was the! last to leave]
it at night. With his own hand lie
drew the model of every vessel j
l built therein ; wrote in a book ev
iery specification of the building,
and marked on the frame the place
for every stick of, timber. No bet
jter vessels, war or com
merce, were built in tbe world than
came from Webb’s yard. Of the
one hundred and forty built under
his own eye not one proved a fail -
| ure.
Sir Titus Salt, the great English
manufacturer of alpaca, used to
; bpast when he was a millionaire
that he could, at a moment’s no
jtice, take the place of any work
■ man in his vast factor). He was
master not only of the financial,
[ but of the mechanical part of the
| business.
j —Tbq Chicago ’epicure thus,
j gratefully writes: Thanks to our
j Southern friends for the delicious
strawberries received in March and
April. May and June our nearer
neighbors continual the supply;
while in July*Minnesota, Missouri
and Michigan came to the rescue.
It is thus that our market for five
months revels in this luscious fruit.
A nin through the Chicago market,
filled with fruits ami vegetables of
every zone, impresses the thought
that modern improvements in trans
portation have well-nigh annihila
; ted space. The gardener of Geor
gia and Florida can and will in the
future look to the great Northwest
as his greatest market and never
i he disappointed.
THE BOTTOMLESS JI G.
I saw it hangiug up in the kitch
en of a thrifty, healthful, sturdy
farmer in Oxford countv, Maiue—
a bottomless jug! The host sawi
that the curious thing had caught
my eye and he smiled.
“You are wondering why that
jug is hangiug up there with its bot
tom knocked out ?be said. “My
wife, perhaps, could tell you the
story better ’ than I can, but she is
bashful anc] I am . not, so I’ll tell
it.”
“My father, as you are probably
i farm before me.
Hi-nwTtinrgood old ago, worked
hard all his life, never squandered
money, was a shrewd, careful tra
der and a good cultivator; and, as
men were accustomed iu his day
:and generation, he was a tempe
' rate man. I was the youngest boy;
and when the old man was ready
i to go—and he knew it—the other |
boys agreed that, since I had stay
jed at home and taken care of the
| old folks, the farm should be mine,
and to me it was willed. I had
I been married three years.
| “Well, father died—mother had
I gone three years before—and left
| the farm to me, with a mortgage of
$2,000 ; I’d never thought, so much
|of it before ; but I thought of it
! now. I said to Molly—my wife—
‘Molly,’ paid I, ‘loo'k here ! Here’s
j father had this farm iu its first
jstrenght of soil, with all its mag-
J nifieent timber ; and had six boys,
as they grew up, equal to so many
■j men, to help him ; and he has
I worked hard, worked early and
; late, and yet look at it! A mort
gage of $2,000 ! What, can Ido ?’
| And I went to that old jog—it had
| the bottom in it then—and took a
I stiff drink of Medford rum from it.
“I noticed a curious look ou the
| face of my wife just then and I
! asked her what she thought of it;
i for I supposed, of course, she was
j thinking of what I’d been talking
I about. And- so she was. Says
j she : .
“ ‘Charles,'l’ve a
good deal ; and I have
In
'f ii'iiw.-i.y aidU m i- ■’
“Suva I, ‘Molly, tell me how voivTr
j do it ? r ”
“She thought a little while And
i then she said, with a funny twinkle
, in her blue eyes, says she, ‘Charles,
! you must promise me solemuly and
| sacredly. Promise me that you
will never again bring home, for
tiie purpose of drinking for a bever
age, at any one time, more, spirits
of any kind than yotT can bring iu i
that old jug—that jug that your'
father has used ever since I knew |
him, and which you have used since
he was done with it.’
“Well. I knew that my father
used once in a while, especially in j
in haying time and in the winter j
when we were at work in the woods, j
to get an old gallon jug filled, so
I thought it over; and after a
while told her that I would agree;
to it. ‘Now mind,’said she, ‘you!
are never to bring home for a com
mon beverage more spirits than
you can bring in that identical jag.’ j
And I gave her the promise.
“Ami before I went to lied that!
night I took the last pull at that
jug. As I was turning it about for
a sort of a night cap, Molly looked
up and said she, ‘Charlie, have you
got a drop left ?” I told her there j
was just about a drop. We’d have'
to get it filled on the morrow. And
then she said if I had no objections
she would drink that last drop with '
me. I never shall forget how she ;
brought it out —that last drop!'
However, I tipped the old jug bot
tom up, and got about a great
spoonful, and Molly said that was
enough. She took the tumbler and
poured a few drops of hot water I
into it, and a hit of sugar, and then
she tinkled her glass against mine, I
just as slieM seen us boys do when '
we’d been drinking good luck, and
[says she ‘Here’s to the old brown
jug.
“Sakes alive ! I thought to mv
! self, that poor Moil) 7 had been
drinking more of the rum than was
good for her ; and I tell you it kind
o’cut me to the heart. I forgot
; about how many times she’d seen
ime when my tonuge was thicker
jthan it ought to be, and my legs
i not quite as steady as good legs
!should be; but I said nothing, I
] drank the sentiment—‘To the old
: brown jug’—and let it go.
“Well, I went out after that and
I did chores and went to bed ; and
the Inst thing I said before leaving
the kiteken, the very room where
we now sit in, ‘we’ll have the
old brown j.ug filled to-morrow.’
And then I went off to bed.. And
I have remembered ever since that
I went to lied that night, as J had
done hundreds of times before, with
a buzzing in my head that a healthy
man ought not to have. I didn t
■ think of it then, nor had I ever
thought of it before; but I’ve
thought of it a good many times
since, and have thought of it with
wonder and awe.
“Well, I got up the next morn
ing and did some work about the
barn, then came in and ate break- 1
1 fast, not with such an appetite as
a farmer ought to have aiid I could
think even then that my appetite
had begun to fail me. However,
I ate breakfast and went out and
bitched tip the. old mare; for, to
tell the plain truth, I was. feeling
the need of a glass of spirits, and
I hadn’t a drop in the house. I
tvas in a hurry to get to the village.
I got hitched up, and then caino in
for the juii. I went for it in the
; old cupboard, and took it oat an 4
“Did you ever break throng!) the
thin ioe, on a nipping cold day, and
find yourself, in an instant, over
your head iu the freezing water?
The jug was there but the bottom .
was gone!
“Molly had been and taken a
sharp chisel and a hammer, and
with a skill that might have done
: credit to a master workman, she
had clipped the bottom clean out,
j without oven breaking the edges or
j the side ! I looked at the jug, and
| then I looked at Molly. And then
'she burst out. She spoke—O!) !
I have never heard anything like it
since. Said she :
“ ‘Charles there’s where the mort
gage on this farm came from ! It
, was brought home iu that jug—two
quarts at a time! And there’s
where all the debt has bec.u ! And
there’s where your white clear skin,
; and your clear, pretty eyes are go
: ibg! And in that jug, my husband,
your appetite is going also! Let
it be as it is, dear heart.! and re
member vonr promise to mo !’
“And she threw her arms around
my neck and burst into tears. She
' couldn’t speak more,
j. “And there was no need. My
: eyes were opened as though by
| magic. In a single minute the whole
sconce passed before me. I saw all
the mortgages, on all the farms 111
our neighborhood ; and I thought
where the money had gone. The
very last mortgage father had ever
made, had been to pay ji bill beh]
! against him by the mail who hail
(tilled his jug - for years! Yes, ‘I
•saw it all, as it passed before me—
/i fitting A.icl.ue of rnukL &UU.I
ruin ; omit!—debiT—ano, tit the
j end—death! And I returned mv
Molly’s kiss, and said I:
“I’ll keep the promise ! I will—
so help me heaven !
“And I have kept it. In less
than five years, as Molly had said,
the mortgage was cleared off; my
appetite came back to me; and
now, we’ve'got a few thousand dol
lars out at interest. There hangs
th old jug, just as we hung it up
on that day ; and from that time
there hasn’t a drop of spirits been
brought into this house, for a bev
erage, which the bottomless jug
wouldn’t have held !
“Dead old jug! We mean to keep
it ; and to hand it down to our j
children, for the lesson it can give j
them—a lesson of life—of a life j
happy, peaceful and blessed !”
And as he ceased speaking, his [
wife, with an arm drawn teuderh
around the neck of her youngest]
boy, murmured a fervent “Amen !”
—Missouri is trying high license
and prohibition ou Sunday. Last
Sunday, in Kansas City, nearly all
the saloons were closed. In conse
quence there were only three ar
rests for drunkenness during the
day, instead of the usual average
of about thirty. If prohibition one
day in the week stops nine-tenths
of the drunkenness, who will say
that prohibition does not Substan
tially prohibit, or that it would not
be a good thing ali the time ? Hap
pily there is an encouraging pros
pect in Missouri of the advent of (
entire prohibition.
j
—The new law prohibiting the I
employment of children under fif- [
teen years of age in any factory in ;
the State of New Jersey has gone !
into effect. It ought to be rigidly
enforced, for it is a good law. It
prevents parents grinding all the
sunshine of youth out of the lives
of their children for the sake of the
trifle they bring home weekly. It
will allow the children time to go !
to school, and escape the degrading !
influence of factory life upon the!
minds as well as bodies of the !
young.

—lt is not surprising that the i
Minnesota Prohibitionists should
nominate a third State ticket. The
Republican party in that State is
largely dominated by a drinking,
reckless class of men, and this year
they have nominated a ticket which
the St. Paul Pioneer-Press, the
strongest Republican paper iu the
Slate and one of the ablest iD the
Northwest has been compelled to
disapprove. In t’hese circumstan
ces a Prohibition ticket was not
only the only alternative, but it has

—The personal experience bf
Rev. Dr. Buckley, detailed in the
following paragraph from the N:
Y. Christian Advocate, is affection
ately commended to allyonng min
isters whose throats or lungs are
enfeebled or in a diseased condition.'
Scores art) pennaturely cut off ev
ery year, we doubt not, for want
of a Dr. Clarke and his wise coun
sels :
In the autumn of 1860, at the
request of the Rev. H. B. Ridgaway,
then the pastor of the Chestnut
street church, of Portland, Me., a
ivoung minister supposed to be far
gone in pulmonary disease preached
in that church, and made reference
in his discourse to the fact that
soon he would be compelled to teat
j his principles in the hour of death.
;At the close of the sermon Dr.
| Eliphalet Clarke said to him, “My
young brother, if you believe that
j you must die, you will. If you de
termine that you will not die, you
: may live. Why do you speak so
low? “Because I have had hemor
rhages.” You err. Breathe deep
ly, speak strongly, dismiss fear,’
live in the open air, and you will
recover.” His words were better
than medicine; his prescription was
taken, and the writer, who was the
preacher on that occasion, after the
lapse of so many years, pays his
memory a tribute of gratitude and
communicates his philosophical
prescription to all w ho may need it.
—“The best husband I ever met,”
says a living writer, “came out of a
family where the mother, a most
heroic and self-denying woman,
laid down the absolute law, “Girls
first”—not in any authority, but
first to be thought of as to protec
tion and tenderness. Consequent
ly, the chivalrous care which the
lads were taught to show to their
own sisters, naturally extended it
self to all women. They grew up
true gentlemen, generous, unexac
ting, courteous of speech and kind
of heart. In them was the pi-otec
tiug strength of manhood, which
j scorns to use its strength except
| for protection ; the proud honesty
! of manhood, which infinitely pre
i fers being lovingly and openly re
sisted to being ‘twisted round one’s
finger,’ as mean men are twisted,
and mean women will always be'
found ready to do it, but I think all
honest men and brave women
would not merely dislike, but utter
ly despise.”
