THE COMPARATIVE STATUS OF THE TWO STATES. THE ALLIANCE OF BRAtV AND BRAWN —THE DUTIES OF THE LEGISLATURE TO THE CHILDREN OF THE STATE— 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, Vb’e o .eruirai ol FTitncV vvas aWry 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 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.

They will be ready for delivery about the Ist of Sep tember. The notes are in shape nearly like bank notes. They are printed in blank form, spaces be ing left for the. naities of the post offices from which tliqy are sent and at which they are paid. On Ou the right hand' side of each of the notes are three columns of figures— one for the dollars, con taining the figures from one to four, tjjp second for the dimes from , one to nine and the third for the cents from one to nine. The post master who sells one of these notes will punch the figures indicating the amount for which the note will be received.

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.”
