Seeing the old, the nick, the poor,
Who a 3 k for uolhing, scarcely weep,

While you, given good things without measure,

The politicians, however, want
some man of their own stripe to
represent them, and hence their
jealousy of Mr. Hill; he is too big
a man for them, and there is no
affinity or congeniality between
them. There can be no trading
bargaining with him. In this
respect, lie is like the lamented
Howell Cobb, who had no peer in
his District, nnd who acknowl
edged no superior in Congress, but
stood alone in his genius, talent
and ability, impressing himself
upon every order of intellect.
Mr. Hill is the equal of Mr. Cobl,
as a debater, rcasoner, logician ;
but not his equal as a politicial
tactician or parliamentarian, for
those were the peculiar gifts of
Mr. Cobb in a remarkable degree.
Were Mr. Cobh alive to-day—and
ever honored he his memory—we
would rather see him in Congress
than any other man, had we all of
Georgia's sons from which to sc

MU. HILL AS A DEBATE!
A RACE WITH DEATH.
A story is told of an engineer
on the Union Pacific railroad who
ran a race with death at the rate
of forty miles -an hour, and won
by five seconds. He was driving
the passenger train West, and was
taken suddenly and seriously ill.
He seemed to know that death
was near—yet, the train must reach
Cheyenne before lie could be re
lieved.
That was the end of his route.
Hc> increased the speed of the
engine and ran for life. Forty
miles an hour saved his distance.
He reached Cheyenne ahead of
time, and when the engineer who

TOO MUCH TO BELIEVE. j
One day Farmer Robinson’s old heu j

says St. Nicholas, and just then the
pretty sehoolma’tn tripped hv with two
of her children. She was talking to
them about the fish called the sturgeon.
“ Yes, my dears,” site was saying,
•‘I read it this very morning in the
Popular Monthly Science. Nine hun

“ My! what a lot!” exclaimed out
of the children; “and if every cgj
gets to be a sturgeon, and every one
of the new sturgeons lays just as many,
just think what heaps and heaps of
grandchildren a sturgeon must have.”
The teacher laughed. They walked
on; and suddenly I heard a sort of
gulp.
It was the old hen. I never in nty
life saw any living creature in Bitch a
state. She was so mad she could
hardly keep inside of her feathers.
“Nine hundred thousand eggs!”
she exclaimed, (you would have thought
she was only trying to cluck Iter head
off, but we understood every word),
“ nine hundred thousand eg-gug-gug-
gegs! Don’t believe a wool iff it!
Never was such a thing since we world
began—sturgeon, indeed ! Nevtr even
heard of such a bird. What’ll school
teachers say next, I wonder? Nine
hundred thousand egg-gug-gug-gegs,
indeed!”
The last I saw of that hen, she was
strutting off indignantly toward the
barnyard to tell the other hens about it.
