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 lect. 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 thex* facts known is when the de sire to inquire into them manifests itself, ana the best teacher is the parent. As between husband and wife, so between parent and child there is no place for shame. Where virtue reigns shtunc cannot corns. A child thus'taken into sacred intimacy with its parent will in stinctively revolt from whatever is vulgar anti base and obscene.
