A Maxim of Washington.
“Labor to keep alive in your breast a
little spark of celestial fire, conscience,”
was one of the string of maxims which
Washington framed or copied for his
own use when a boy. His rigid adher
ence to the principle, his steadfast dis
charge of duty, his utter abandonment of
self, his unreserved devotion to whatever
int rests were committed to his car<
test the vigilance with which he obeyed
that maxim. He kept alive that spark.
He made it shine before men. lie kin

whole life. No occasion was so momen

the exigencies of his country had cost
him, furuish a charming illustration of
his habitual exactness. The fact that
every barrel of flour whieh bore the
brand of “George Washington, Mount
Vernon,” was exempted from the other
wise uniform 1 inspection in the West In
dia ports—that name beiug regarded as
an ample guarantee of the quality and
quantity of any article to which it was
affixed—supplies a not less striking proof
that his exactness was everywhere under

Chderftilness.
The family circle can be made happj,
gloomy, by the cultivation of cheer
fulness, on the one hand, or by indulging
;loomy forebodings and the spirit of
fault-finding on the other. It should be
the object of every member of the family
to add as much pleasure to others as pos
sible, aud this can only he done by culti
vating a cheerful disposition within onr-
i. The pleasures of life are made up
by little things, than by what some
would regard as great ones—more by
cheap things .than by costly ones. A
pleasant remark; a smiling face; acour-
mnnner; a generous spirit; a dis
position to grant little favors, and enjoy
those that arc received, are all very little
things within themselves—cost nothing
—and yet they are of priceless value,
imparting pleasure to all upon whom they
c bestowed.
A cheerful, happy spirit, not only i:
parts pleasure to others, inspiring all with
alike disposition, but it has a most salu
tary iuflueuce ou the head, heart and
physical powers of those who cultivate it
within themselves. It has a tendency to
a free and hearty action to the mind.

fluence of bigotry and prejudice, which

Preach to Preachers.—All apolo
gies are fonhded in t-elf-deccption or
pride.
Move directly to your subjec‘;
sooner you got.at the main idea, the bet
ter.
One telling illustration is better than
dozen, even if each of the dozen are quite
strong.
Let the subject be of such importance
to invest you with an Aspiration unti.
the closing sentence.
Encourage rather than scold.
Do not. make many points; two or
three well insisted on will be longer re
membered than half a dozen.
Never think of yourself, but of a soul
saved or lost, and Calvery.
Have only two or three headings and
o application—clear, short and to the
point, so that it may still be ringing
the ears of the people as they.are dis
persing. .
If you cannot preach from a text with-
out au intimation that a different trans
lation would improve it, select some oth
er passage, on a different subject.

Good-huuiorcd cheerfulness lets the
i-light of reason shine into the soul,
which gives life and vigor to the lender
of thought, just putting forth a
feeble effort for development. The vir-
ues of the mind can only find a genial
dement in the generous impulses of the
oul, in which to establish their existence
and exert a healthy iufluencc over the
character. The mind itself cannot ex
pand, and gather, up the treasures of
e and learniug, unless it dis
burdens itself from the iiicubus of angry
and corroding feelings.
The heart, however, has more to do
with love aud kiudness, than the tuiud.
i tho condition and temper of
the heart, that tho uiind borrows its
cheerfulness. Cultivate the heart to geu-
tlencss and love to those around us, aud
nitrol everything else. If the
heart is rightly disposed, it has a thous
and avenues through which to find ex
pression, aud its impulses will be felt by
every oue. Let the heart be filled by
selfishness and indifference, aud the effort
to make others happy, by deceptive arts,
will always prove false, and the deccptio
will soon be detected. The heart has
language of its own,and will tell its story,
without the use of words. A heart full
of geuerous love trill he huppy, in spite
of poverty, plaee, or honors, and it will
impress its happiness on others. The
great secret of happiness, then, is found
in a pure and innoccut heart, filled with
love, which produces the milk of human
kindneas, and delights itself in
others happy.
A cheerful, happy spirit, is promotive
of good health. It superinduces free
tion; it is pleased with nature, and de
lights in exercise. This aids in the dij
tion of food, and animates the spirit, and
causes the currcut of life to flow freely
and pleasantly through soul aud body.
On the other hand, the heart and mind
that is always looking at the faults
others, magnifying little indiscretions into
mountains of evil; always looking for
sad tidiugs; never satisfied with thorn-
selves or anybody else, they harruss their
n souls to death, and know nothing of
the bliss enjoyed by those who cultivate
true charity.
Such moping, growling, lault-fiuding
spirits always remiud us of the turkey-
buzzard! Unlike the eagle, whose stroug
wing aud keen eye, enables him to
and tower aloft, and delight itself with
the sublime scenery spread out to his
e buzzard takes its flight, it
true, into the heavens; aud might reg
itself with the beauties of nature, too, 1
it has no heart or taste for them! Nature
spreads her laudsoape of rivers and
plains, mountains aud valleys, flowers and
foliage,, but he turns his eye away and
nothing is so sweet or attractive as th<
carcass of some old, stiuking, dead horse
When he' finds oue of these, his sullen
soul takes comlbrt. lie alights upon the
limb of some Head tree, near by, and raises
both wings above his head, and stands in
sullen delight—no rose so sweet ns this
dead horse. So with those who look for
nothing good in society—all evil—all
dead horses.
The bonedictiou of a sage to • his dis
ciples was; “I prayjbr you, that the fear
of heaven may be as strong upon you, as
the fear of man.”
SpongSe Cake.—Two cups of flour ;
ix it in one teaspoon baking powder;
o cups fine sugar ; and the yolks of
four eggs; beat well, stir in oue and
half cups of w..L flavor to taste, and
lastly the whites. Bake quickly.
Bread Pudding.—Take bits of stale
bread and grate or crumb up fine, add
qt. of new milk, 4 eggs well beaten,
quarter of a pound of sugar and the same
of butter. Flavor with grated orange
peal. *Bake in a deep dish.
Waffles.—Set aside tlie cold rice
from diuncr. Next morning soften it
with hot water and beat in two eggs, add
a quart of flour and stir in buttermilk
sufficient to form a stiff batter; a desert
spoonful of fresh lard and a tablespoon
ful of soda. Bake brown.
Rice Milk.—Boil a teacup of
until perfectly soft, drain the water from
it and mix in a quart of new milk. Boil
over hot coals, stirring frequently. Beat
two eggs into a cup of sugar and stir
the boiling milk for about ten minutes.
Serve up hot. A little spice or flavor
ing can be added if desired.
Rat Riddance.—It is claimed that
rats may effectually be driven away by
powderiqg with common red .pepper the
holes throngh which they get into the
houses. So >-iuiple a way of ridding a
place of the vermin, ought at least to be
tried.
Onions a Lice Exterminator.—
Asa Baldwin, of Chautauqua county, N.
C., says that fifty years ago a .very lousy
cow of his ate ten or twelve onions, and
in Gfteen hours after, the lice had disap
peared. He has tried the same remedy
many times since, with tho same result
in each case.
To Check the Desire for Tobacco.
—Coarse ground gentian root chewed in
stead of tobacco, tbo chewer swallowing
tho saliva, will, it*is said, destroy all de
sire, “for plug” or “fine cut.” It is
worthy of a trial by those who use
“weed” excessively, and feci that it is do-
; them an injury. Tho gentian root
u be obtained at any of the drugstores.
To Cure a Felon on the Hand.—
Take sassafras bark—the insido bark—
dry and grate it fine, and wet it in a tea
cup with cold water for a paultice. Ap
ply to tho felon, and wet once in five min
utes with cold water. This followed up
will draw it to a bead in twenty-four
hours without any pain and without any
injury to the hand. Use the bark of the
root.—Rural New Yorker.

General Hampton’s Letter—The Policy
of Abstention.
We have been favored with an extract
from a letter addressed irom Minneapo
lis, Minnesota, to a prominent physician
of this city. The writer is a person ol
intelligence and iuflueuce. As he gives
General Hampton's letter from a
Northern stand-point, we be'ievo it will
be read with interest by the public, and
receive due conside alion trom our friend.
General Hampton, whose views it so con
siderately criticises. We now present
tbo extract referred to, and take occasion
to invite from General Hampton such a
reply as his disinterested patriotism and
his good judgment may suggest 1 :
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct, lit, 1871.
I think you know Gen. Wade Hampton
well. I am sorry tliat I do not, except
bis public and most enviable faue. II
yon do know him. well, I want you to
present me to him, as you know me to
a Southerner as even General
H. himself. Present me, in all respect
and honor, and tell him that his letter ot
the 9th September, last, addressed to
Gen. D. H. Hill, is published iu North-
papers, and is the subject of much
comment with Democrats aud Republi
cans—with tho former regretfully, and
with the latter exhuultiugly, as beiug of
the “unrepentant rebel”—mum “South
ern Confederacy,” etc. ; all sorts of dev
iltry, as usual, iu these puritanical at
mospheres. I understand the General,
aud so do many honest and faithful, na
tional Democrats—all of them respecting,
and not for an instant doubting his per
fect sincerity. But it is certainly an
fortnnate publication, because it is i
construed. Comment is made upon
expressions, viz: He speaks of * ‘the poli
cy to be pursued by tho Southern States
in the next National Democratic Conven
tion.” “I concur fully in the views you
have expressed as to the impropriety of
the South taking any part iu the ap
proaching convention”—his frequent
of the word “ire” as meaning tlie South,
etc. You read the letter critically with
the view and desire to find fault with it,
os all the Republicans do, aud you* will
see how open it is to objections
feelings of enemies, and yon know how
eagerly they hasteu to make use of them.
The General’s three “reasons” are also,
in part, wrong—being at least, unjust to
tho Democrats of the North
kuow of what I write.
It is the heart-felt wish of the national
party iu tlie nor; U that their friends [th<
Democrats of the South)should unite with
them in the convention ; that they shonld
be there to sustain them. All kuow that
—il Grant's musket do not prevent- the
South will vote a uuit for the national
Democratic nominee, und there is ubun
dant re; r on to fe v that if the South should
not attend and act in the convention,
that no proper conservative national mat
would accept the nomination. What
high-toned, just liberal, candidate would
accept a nomination of a disjointed
stituency of half a convention ? Oh
no. I pray yon do not countenance such
a plan ; it is all wrong. God knows “the
South has suffered enough ; that disun
ion has been enforced long enough. Lei
them come up, accepting the situation,
however right or wrong, in the most
friendly co-operative spirit possible, and
meet the Democrats of the Northern
States, who, I kuow you know, all must
know, are tired, weary, worn out, in this
long-imposed, informal disseverance. I
am sure of the sentiments of the Demo
crats in the North. I wish you could
have heard an old gentleman from
Maine, who sat by me just now it would
have gladdened the heart of Geueral
Hampton, or any patriot ; yon would
have thought you were carried back to
the days of Jefferson and Webster, and
of Clay and Calhoun !
My dear friend, let ns heal tho breach;
let all National Democrats unite ; let us
nominate a right and fit candidate, and
we shall win ; aud, us General Hampton
.says, reserve “the existence of the South
ern States.” If General Hampton could
know me, my hearty sympathy with him
and his cherished “South,” so nobly de
fended l>y himself, as I liope yi
Col. Ilerbert Fielder, of Kan- I
dolpli, for Governor.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger'; Th *
frequent mention of thj name"of tins
gentleman for Governor of Georgia, in
private circles where he is known, and
recently through ft .number of the news
papers in the State, will doubtless ren
der a short persona sketch of him accep
table to your readers. His paternal an
cestors were English, and first bottled in
Virginia. His grand father catre thence
to Greene county, Gn., where his father
was horn. His mother wa3 a native'of
Morgan county, Ga., was of Irbh dcceut
and a danghh r of Joseph Heard.
The father and mother ox Herbert are
buried in the connty of Newton, where
he was born and raised to mauhood.—
Financial embarrassment deprived him
of the advantages of college training —
He devoted himself two years to the
business of teaching with bojish success,
and then with the means acquired by. his
own exertions, set out upon his original
design, the study of law. He passed the
year of 1849 in the office of Burney &
Dyer, at Monticello, and after a critical
‘xamination under Judge Meriwether
voa admitted to practice. At that time
Conn, Dawson, Hardeman, Starke, Fos
ter, Cobb, and others now gone, were
full practice in that part of tho State,
im whom, and their cotempornries, ho
caught his early inspirations.
Our young friend, without money or
prestige but fnll of hopo and irrepressi
ble energy, determined to stand on per
sonal merit alone, and to risk his fortune
among strangers, he removed to Chero
kee Georgia, where his career as a law
yer up to the opening of the late war was
unusually successful, and where, we are
iuformed, he is held in high esteem by
all classes of people.
Having lost his property by the war,
he found himself a penniless refugee in
Decatur county, whence he removed iu
the winter of 1865 to Cuthbert, and en
tered with all the zeal of his youth, upon
the practice again. Here, his native ele
ments of character have told wonder
fully in his progress from stranger to
friend of the people, from poverty to
comparative ease and independence, and
to the universal respect of, not only the
courts and the bar, but of all classes of
society.
His clear head, and well balanced judg
ment, inflexible- will, incorruptible in
tegrity and devotion to truth, and extraor
dinary energy, afford a guarantee of i
uent success, and » niversal esteem in
position in which he may be placed. As
a writer, he is terse, strong aud trench
ant, having but few superiors iu
State. As a speaker he is earnest, logical
impressive and eloquent. Ho is tho firm
friend, patron ami advocate of educa
tion and religion. As a Christian, he
sustains an untarnished reputation, and
I have no donbt, if elevated to the posi
tion of Governor, it would be conceded
by all, that he is the right man in the
rigid place.

Rules for the Care of Sheep.-
Keep sheep dry under foot with litter.—
This is even more necessary than roofing
them. Never let them stand or lie
mud or snow.
Drop or take out the lowest bsrs as
the sheep enter or leave a yard, thus sav
ing broken limbs.
Begin graining with the greatest care,

. “ Houest men for office, ” is now
the true political watchword and reply.
Cities whose affairs have been managed
by Rings, and States which have liecn
ruled and ruined by oorrnplioD, are alike
interested iu correcting tbo great evils
under which our whole political fabric
groaus. When the life of a nation is im
periled by war, the people may be ex
cused if they do not look with too exact
ing a scrniiuy into the acts of their pub
lic servants; but when peace is supposed
to exist, and every voter to some extent
responsible for the character of those
whom he assists to pnt ia office, me&osof
opposition to fraud, and the inauguration
of a system of economy and fair dealing
in our State and municipal affairs. None
but rogues are interested in keeping

might deprive both o/power.—Picayune.

of the At<autic and Great Western Canal,
which is to run from Muscle Shoals, on
the Tennessee River, across to Coosa;
thence np the Coosa and Etowah;

Almost a Fire,—On Monday morn
ing Messrs. T. G. & J. J. Giliigan, oa
eutering their store, were alarmed by the
smell of smoke and burnt cloth. On ex

tiro under the counter, directly under
tho show case and money till. A small
shelf there was burnt to n charcoal and a
box of ladles’ cloth shoes. destroyed.—
The fire hud gone out of its own accord,
bn how or why, we cannot see, as it
broke out in the most favorable location
to have continued. It is supposed that
it was occasioned by rats getting hold of
a match which liad accidently fallen
there.
If the fire had once gotten fairly under
headway, a large portion of the business
portion of our town would have been des
troyed. The whole western side of the
public square would have gone, and? the
Washington Gazette would have taken

Cfey*The recent gale off the Florida
coast has supplied that adventurous and
lawless class, known as wreckers, with au
unusual ran of business. From all parts
of the coast they are swarming to the
eastern shore and loading themselves
down with the goods, wares and mer
chandise cast upon the beach from the
numerous wrecks. This plundering bos
been carried to such an extent that the
Agent of the Underwriters in that State
has been compelled to call the United
States cavalary into requisition, and pro
pose to search every house on the coast,
with a view o# recovering the stolen
property.

Resolved, That after hearing-the state

sections, of the county, we beg leave to
report the follbwing: That so far as the
use of commercial manures • have been
tested by thoae who have purchased them
in this county, the present year, they have
been, as a general thing, of no advantage
or'benefit? aud in as much as they have
failed to increase the yield of the crops,
it woald ho contrary to good conscience,
ton the part of the vendor* of useless fer
tilizers, to demand pay for the same, and
injurious and unjust to the planters to
be reqaired to pay for that which has
profited them anything.

Letter from Texas.

Editor Republican :—Although the
drouth was pretty severe here, yet there
are much better crops of corn and cot
ton made than was anticipated. Corn is
plentiful, and can be bought in this and
adjoining counties at this time, at from
49 to 05 ct-nteper bushel. Tliere is a gen
tleman Irving near DougtasviUo in this
comity, who has five hundred bushels of
coin for sale, at fifty cents per bushel,
and plenty of corn can be bought in Red
River county, at forty cents per bushel.

Work will commence on the “Trans-
Continental Rail Road” as soon as navi
gation opens between Shreveport aud .
Jefferson, aud then there will be fifteen
hundred hands pot to work on this Road
bstween Jeflersou and Clarksville. A
good deal of the grading has already been
done, and a good many of the bridges
have been built. We will soon be bless
ed here with Rail Roods from different
points. Tho “Missouri, Kansas and Tex
as Rail Road” is progressing rapidly to
wards Texas. The East Texas Bulletin,
published at Marshall, Texas, of Oct,
Cthsaya:
“Mr. Joe. G. Booth, Agent for the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rail Road,
informs the Dallas Herald that trains are
now runuing regularly to the Arkansas
River, about six miles West of Fort Gib
son, where large cattle pens are being
built for the accommodation of the cat
tle trade. Grading is being done somo
distance this sido of the Arkansas river,
and the road located as far South as Car
riage Point. It is the intention of Col.
Stephens, the Superintendent, to get the
road built entirely through the Indian
Territory to Red River by next Spring.”
The Congressional election has just
come off in this State, and has gone
largely Democratic. Hon. John Conner
was re-elected by the Democrats from
this District. Tho Radicals arc getting
considerably “down in the mouth” about
the resrdt of the election.
The Jefferson Daily Times of the 11th
iusk.says; “The days of Radical rule
in Texas arc numbered, Another elec
tion will sweep them forever from pow
er.” The pamo paper says :
“Yesterday 200 troops, oil negroes, on-
dcr the command of Col. Malloy, left this
city to go to Marlin, or some point in the
West, upon the order of -the Governor.
For what purpose ? No one knows.—
The cost of the outfit alone, we presume
was not less than $10,000. Such an ex
penditure at this time is an outrage. We
believe that sending of these men was
intended to provoke trouble ; it will be
fortunate, indeed, if no evil result from
it; but wo trust the people who have
borne so mncli, will bear this enormity
also with patience. It is rumored that
the 200 troops ordered ou; from tnis
county, are only a portion of a large ar
my ordered out by Governor Davis,
numbering is said, 26,000 men. Wo
cannot credit it. The election iust
closed, has proved as peaceable as any
ever held iu Texas. But if the Govern
or has ordered out snch a force, let us,
instead of fighting, give them a big bar-
becue, and convert the affair intoagrand
Democratic jubilee. These troops will
not want war neither will the people.”
The Masonic Fraternity have sustained
a great loss recently by the death of the

The Chicago Confederation is an awful
affair. What a great pity that houses in
cities are not fire-proof. Most of the
so-called fire-proof buildings in cities are
not fire-proof at all the tops of the build
ings being made with wooden rafters,
covered with some thin material, such aa
tin or sheet iron. If the entire tops of
buildings were made of iron, then they
would bo fire-proof.

in spite of the Ku-Klox act of Congress,
