The Daily end Country Press.
The following Georgia daily news
papers exchange with The Demo
crat: Savannah Morning News,
.Macon Telegraph and Messenger,
Columbus Sun, Atlanta Sun, and
August Chronicle and Sentinel.—
Thc.^p (ire the 'most flourishing news
papers in the State, and one reason
of it hU*eeausc they recognize and
appreciate the value of the country
press, for instance, look at the
Aveli-fflled columns of the Morning
News, or of any of the above papers,
and then cdmparfc them with those
of their old fogy contemporaries.
The hews-columns the former are
fresh', vigorous and sparkling; those
of the latter arc generally dull, stu
pid and enervating. The editors of
the former write and select matter in
such a sprightly way as to show con
clu.-ively to the most casual reader
that t hey are paid to do it; those of
t he latter write and select in such a
“deA-il may care" style, as to leave
t he impression upon their readers of
slim salaries and hard to get at that.
What is it that gives the above
named papers such predominance
over the others in the variety of news?
Simply because they exchange with
t tic country press, and thereby se
cure the source of State information
For instance, the Morning News has
four times more subscribers in De
catur county than all the other Sa
vannah papers combined; and it is
a noticeable fact that the first part
of that journal read—and read
eagerly—is its Georgia and Florida
news columns. The reason of this
is because the subscribers get every
tiling-transpiring in the State at a
glance- and also because frequent
ment ion is made of their own county
and section. . You would actually
insult a man hereabouts even to
intimate that the MorningNews was
not the best paper in Savannah.
Ami just here we Would give a
few self-important dailies that we
know of a nut to crack. The most
of them have traveling agents whose
business it is to go through the coun
try drumming up subscribers for
their respective publications. Of
course they arc unknown in most
country towns lie-cause the papers
they represent are not able to keep
the same one long at a time. Well,
these agents, perfect strangers, get
to a town, and after “sprucing up"
a little, make-straight tor the office
of the newspaper published there.—
They walk in, call for the editor,
present t heir card on which said ed
itor reads, “Col. so and so, Major
so and so. or Doctor so and so,” as
tho case may be, .“traveling agent
lor-the daily so and so.” A warm
hand-shaking, and a hearty welcome
is the consequence, The poor devil

THE QUAKERESS PREACHER.
New York, Feb*, 22, 1872.
For * wonder, there is a lull in the
throbbing of the metropolitan pulse
No feverish symptoms disturb the
body politic; no paroxysms of trade
threaten the ‘“bulls” or “bears,” and
the last “sensation” has wellnigh been
forgotten. When the seltzer aperient
of life thus becomes flat, tbe people
are supposed to rest—no 1 I recall
that word—they simply draw a long
breath, for there is no such thing as
rest in New York. ^ The city never
sleeps. It knows nothing of the hush
of the midnight boar. Tbe tinkle of
tiie car bells; the tramp of homeward
bound men and prowlers; tbe patter
ing of horses’ feet; steam puffing from
tbe newspaper-offices; carriages hur
rying by with the fractions of some
fashipDable party; and just beforr
dawn the unmistakable treble of the
market-wagons—all these tell of a
chorus of busy life, the orchestral ac
companiment of which sounds doubly
distinct because you hear it in the
dark.
Rest, forsooth l Men are too mneh
occupied in wbat Gerald Massey ealis
“hammering oat the metal of their
live*,’’ to let the iron grow cold upon
the anvil. And they pound at their
respective objects nntil they ba7e
made an individuality or a ruin. 'Jo
be pointed out—known—respected for
wealth or influence; to win a favora
ble comment in the daily press; to be
wiiiten down on various occasions as a
patron; to become tbe leader of a
political, charitable, or religions clique,
to wear the largest diamonds, gi*«
the most exclusive soirees, or in some
other way outdo a neighbor in the
one would think wer* the ob
jects of half the people in New York.
Bonner, for instance, is known by
biahorses; young Bennett by bis yacht;
Jerome by his park; and Beecher by
bis pnlpit novelties. Preachers by the
score follow in his wake. Hepwortb,
Bellows, Cuyler, Talmadge, all have
been made notorious in print, and that
sort of notoriety means a paying con
gregation. Readthe announcement*
in the Sunday morning papers, and
yon will be astonished to find that tbe
Reverend Mr. Stiggins will preach on
the iobject of “slices cut from a Gos
pel eteak;” that Bishop Snow will fire
“rifle shots at the devil,” and so, on,
ad nauseam. Sensationalism is the
order of the hour, and it makes bat
little difference with what kind of
chaff the fools are caught. There are
a few staid old Knickerbockers, how
ever, who are content to grow quietly;
make their money in tbe old-fashioned
way; invest it where it will pay, per-
haj» little bat sorely; who regard a
speculation as a red-hot poker; and
consequently live long, absorb wealth,
and maintain the family repectabilily.
They are not mash rooms, like a thous
and others around them.
Social life with and among these
people is really enjoyable. Their
homes are the embodiment of taste and
good excellence, and you find them
patrons of art, music, and every thing
which refines and elevates. They par
chase what is solid and meritorious
their salons are the resort of the truly
intellectual and great; and brains, not
brass, are the letters of credentials
which introduce the stranger.
You would be astonished however,
to observe bow much of the talent
that has made its mark in ihu,metrop
olis is not native. A. T. Stewart,
Hearn, and Gregg, among the leading
merchants, and O’Conor, O’Gorman
John Mitchell, Sydney Sullivan, among
tbe lawyers, ere Irishmen. There art,
probably fewer actual New Yorkers
who have risen to eminence in this
climbing to the apex of the pyramid
than of the people of other States and
nationalities. Every man has the
same chance as his neighbor, and it is
the best who wins.
But enough of moralizing. Tho lo
cal news of the day is comparatively
meagre, yet we have enough of tele
graphic enormities from other quar
ters of mankind, every morning boiled
down in the columns of the daily
journals to supply the usual pabulum
for breakfast-table gossip.
The trial of Stokes, for the murder
of Fisk, is now pending, but interest in
the matter has strangely subsided
The popular belief is, tbat the crimi
nal will not be convicted in the first
degree, for when h person is so rich
tbat he can transform a cell in the
Tombs into the luxurious semblance
of a chamber on the Fifth Avenue,
and feast on champagne and v nison
with his jailor. Justice is very apt to
drop her blind, and smile accommo
datingly. Ilia counsel, led by the fa
mous John Graham, are moving
heaven and earth to gain time, and
will stubbornly contest every inch of
the trial, from the organization of the
Grand-Jury which found the indict
ment, to the latest decision of the
Court The curiosity to see the pris
oner is great, and the officers arc
obliged to resort to a'l kinds of devi
ces to get to him and from the Tombs
without the obstruction of the crowd.
Tbe Sun calls Stokes the “dandy as
sassin.”
Apropos of crime, a very curious
robbery has lately been traced out by
commercial traveller. It appears
tbat, in December, $20,000 worth of
laces and millinery goods were stoleii
from a wholesale establishment. Some
of them were peculiar in style and col
or, and the drummer, while travelling,
aaw a sample on the neck of a lady.
He addressed her; ascertained where
tbe same had been purchased, went to
Cleveland, Ohio, found a Sunday con
gregation who had largely invested-in
similar articles, discovered the place
where the same had been sold, and
thus is on the track of tbe actual
thieves in New York.
The sma'Upox is somewhat on the

A Furious Woman.—Mrs. Wood-
hull attacked Senator Matt. Carpen
ter, of Wisconsin, in the lobby of
Senate, one day last week, for his
treacbfiry to the cause of woman’s
rights, and told him that she would
put five hundred female orators in
the field against the Radical party
next summer, 'and oust him out of
his seat. Matt, replied that all the
women in Wisconsin were his friends.
“Yes,” says Vic., “and rumor says
you have a good many lady friends
belonging to other States. ’ Matt,
told her she might get into Fortress
Monroe, if she was too free with her
revolutionary schemes; but Vic. dar
ed him to do his worst. His courage
might rise to the extent of Ku-Klux-
ing defenceless rebels, but when it
came to an assault'npon the free
women of America, they would give
him the ten commandments in red
ink. Matt, abandoned the contro
versy, very much after the fashion
of a “yaller dog with a tin kettle
tied to his tail,” and hasn’t been half
the man he was since that fight,
A curious memorial has been pre
sented m the Ohio Legislature. A
bill having been introduced in the
Assembly annulling many of the pro
visions of the Temperance act of
1870, a petition has been presented
in remonstrance against the repeal
or modification of the existing law,
signed by all but two hundred of the
convicts in the Ohio penitentiary.—
This remonstrance has two columns
of signatures. In one column are
the names of four hundred and ninety-
two convicts who, by their own con
fession, were brought to the pem-
tentiaiy as the result ol intoxicating
liquors. The other column contains
the names of two hundred and sev
enty-four convicts who were brought
to the penitentiary by other causes;
besides which the memorial is signed
by sixty officers and guards of the
institution.

tone the surface of the head with an invigor
ating application which penetrates to the
roots of the hair and stimulates them in the

and cause the blades to spring up in myriads,
coating the earth with verdure. The invigor-
ant best adapted to this purpose is Byen's

True Economy.—The country is at pres
ent flooded with cheap and inferior goods of
every description, which are heralded to the
public in flaming advertisments and which
find a market among those who have yet to
learn that “true economy” consists in buy
ing a fii*t class article from an established
and first class house. For example, pianos
of various makers are offered at about one-half
the price of those of really first class manu
facture. Among the latter none are more
deserving oftheencomium “really first class”
than those manufactured by Messrs. Wm.
Knabe <tCo., of Baltimore, a firm which
dates over a third of a century, and whose
Pianos for excellency of workmanship, dura
bility and sweetness of tone, stand absolute
ly unrivalled and containing many valuable
patented improvments, to be found in no
other instrument, made by the very best
workmen and of strictly first class and season
ed material.
The so-called “cheap” piano may present
a fair external appearance, but is made of
inferior and often entirely unseasoned mate
rial, and soon becomes a wreck which defies
the art of the tuner. We make special men
tion of the piano, as the most forcible illus
trations of our remarks, which can be appli
ed to almost every article we use in our fami
lies.
A Sheridan in India.—When the
Shenandoah Valley was wantonly laid
waste during the Anaericau war, Eu»
ropejwas very properly shocked, but
England was very properly horrified.
It now appears, however, that that na
tion has a Sheridan of its own opera
ting in India. Several of the India
papers received by the latest mail con
demn the destruction of grain which ia
accomplished by the expedition against
the Looshais. The Bombay Gazette says:
‘“We read of one village after anoth
er burnt to the ground, with immense
stores of food collected by tbe misera
ble- population to feed them for many
month* to come. This work of destruc
tion seems to be carried out with piti
less severely, though the resistance to
the advance of the British is so trifling
that there is in trnth no ‘enemy’ for
the troops to contend against.”
Winged Snakes and Three-Toed
Horses,—Prof. Marsh, lecturing a few
evenings since in New Haven, and
while describing his tour to the West
last summer, said tbat he found in Kan
sas fossils of a gigantic sanrians and
winged reptiles twenty feet spread.
In the Basaltic region he found vast
quantities of tbree-toed fossil horses.
A Place of Safety.—In these
dajs of conflagrations and robberies,
the most trustworthy place of deposit
for books, bonds, and valuables, isj
unquestionably a first-class safe. In
this connection the name of “Her
ring” has become a household word
for there is scarcely a test by fire or
burglar’s tool from which his safes
have not come forth unscatlred. They
have reached what seems to be
condition of absolute impenetrability
and for office and household purposes
are combinations of -strength and
beauty well calculated to insure con
fidence and pleas the taste. Thous
ands of letters attest their value,
