Kindness to Horses.—The horse can be reclaimed from many vicious habits by the law of kindnbss. When George M. Patchen was in the zeiftth of his glory, and matched' with ,4be qneeh of trotters, Flora Temple, they chanced to change grooms. This was disgusting to the old hero of stallions. lie fought the new-com er till they were forced restore his old groom, who had slept in the stable for years, returned, he resum ed his former quietude, and trotted that season some of his most celebra ted races.—Cor. Western Rural. IS NOT THIS AN HONEST RUM- SELLER? Friends and Neighbors—Hav ing recently opened a commodious establishment for the sale of all the choicest liquors, including Lager Beer, I embrace this opportunity of informing you that I have begun the business oi making drunkards^ pau pers, and beggars, tor the sober, in dustrious and respectable to sup port. I shall deal in such spirits as w.ll excite men to riot, robbery an<l bloodshed, and by so doing diminish the comforts, increase the expenses and endanger the weilare of the com munity. I will undertake, at sliqrt notice, for a small sum, and with considerable expense on my part, to prepare inmates for the alms house, the prison and the gallows. I will furnish an article warranted to increase the amount ot fatal acci dents and multiply the number ol distressing diseases among men. I will supply a drink calculated to de prive some of life, many of reason,, most of property, and all of peace; wlii. li will make fathers act like mad men—wives to lie made worse than widows—children to become double orphans; to grow up in ignorance and prove a burden and a curse to the nation. I will obstruct the pro gress of religiou, defile the purity ot the church, and cause temporal, spiritual and cntcrnal death, and if any are so impertinent as to ask why I bring such accumulated mis ery upon a comparatively happy people, my honest reply is that I have a license given under th*c law of the counnouwcalth. and thus I have purchased the right to ruin the character, impair the health, shor ten the lives and destroy both the souls and bodies of men. It is writ ten, “thou shalt not kill;’' that woe is pronounced upon ‘-‘him that giveth strong drink to his neighbor,” and that “no drunkard shall enter the kingdom of heaven.” And I do not expect I a drunkard-maker will share a better fate.' But what can I do ? I must have money, even at the-expense of my soul. Do you not think I offer enough in return for the money ? Many times it will be more than my customers can con veniently carry. Particular Notice.—I most af fectionately warn all my patrons to keep clear of the temperance men, such as Sons of Temperance, Good Templars, Members of the Temple of Honor, Band of Hope, and all other teetotalers, by whatever name they arc known, as they will per suade yon to sign the pledge. Save your money and., with it support your family in comfort and rcspecta-. iblity, thus cheating me out of whai you would spend at my establish ment, I know what they have done and what they will do. Look out for them. My sign is the blue and Jtd light. POLITICAL NOTES. *lt is reported Qiat Stewart L. Woodtord, ol New York, will vote for Greeley. He was the Republi- «-n candidate for Governor against Governor Hoffman two years age. Edmund Durke, of Newport, New Hampshire, former member of Con gress, editor of the Globe, and Com missioner of Patents under Polk, offers to bet $1000 that not fifty Democrats in the State will vote for Grant, The Rev. Charles W. Denison, to whom Henry Wilson communicated tfaat Grant drank “too much,” or at all,” is a Baptist clergyman, formerly resident ih Boston, and a gentleman of high character. According to the- Grant press, A. T. Siewart lies, Schnrz lies, Sum ner lies, Pleasanton lies, Greeley lies, Banks lies, Dana lies, Tipton lies,, Trumbull lies! Everybody lies but Grant, and he can't lie. How is that for Ratchets and cherry trees ? The Rock Hill Lantern says: “Hon. J. L. Orr has published an address to the people of South Caro lina in the name of true Republicans-. The address is well written, and is the mosk thorough expose of the rot- tetonesam the party with which the ex-Governor associates that has yet appeared.” Says the New York Sun: “Can anybody tell us what sort of a man John Francis Gardner, of Brooklyn, is ? He claims to be the proprietor of a Grant and Wilson newspaper, and yet it is reported that he has been elected a delegate to- the Straight Democratic Convention at Louisville. Is he an honest man ?” The gratelul colored man is still distinguishing himself. At Spring- field, Ohio, night belore last, a negro who expressed a preference for Greeley was set upon by a gang of colored men, and but for the inter ference of a police, would hav^ been deprived ot his life. The colored Ku Klux are on the increase, and still there is no martial law. The Radicals are making a tre mendous effort to carry Maine. But* ler, Burnside, Wilson and other noted stump orators have thorough ly canvassed the State in the inter est ol the party,-and with the assis tance of the United States Treasury it is probable they may retain their last majority, which .will certainly be overcome in November. THINGS WORTH KNOWING. Salt stimulates digestion. Onions are the best vegetable known to correct the blood. Ice cream produces acute dyspep sia in consumptive persons. Cracked wheat, boiled or cooked as rice, is a good diet for dyspeptics. Ice held in the mouth will quench thirst in cholera, choleramorbus and lever. Asparagus, if freely eaten, is said to be a valuable medicinal agent in cases of rheumatism and gout. The aching ot a hollow tooth, the nerve of which has come in contact with the air, may be immediately relieved by apph ing to the cavity a little cotton saturated with spirits of nitre mixed with alum. CHARITY. In the life of very individual there are certain controlling influences which call out what there is in him and shape his character. It depends upon the quality of a man’s metal whether he gets melted into eagles or dimes. One’s ‘i second birth” de pends much upon his first. The controlling tendencies of his reli gious nature may have come down to him through generations of ances tors. A man may inherit his grand father’s opinion as well as his pro perty. The mass of Christians are conformed to the creeds under which they were born. AiP are more or less moulded by the pressure of sur rounding opinion, and every one is, in a degree, bound by the prevail ing sentiments he has to make. If wc could trace back and understand the determining forces which have been chiseling away at a man’s na ture since his birth, we should not so much womler at his strange no tions and peculiar views. In this, as in every thing else, the scope where in a man may exercise a choice, is limited. There are many formative influences beyond our eontrol, and the chief and crowning deduction to be drawn from a recognition of these truths is that grandest and chiefest of Ghrisiian virtues, charity—chari ty for the opinions of others, how- £#r they may differ frem our own.

LINA. The following are the game laws of South Carolina, enacted at the la® session of the Legislature of that State, and will, doubtedless, be of interest to such Georgia sportsmen and others as may not be advised ot the penalties attached to their viola tion: The killing of deer between the 1st of January and the 1st of Sep tember, in any year hereafter, is pro hibited under a penalty, on convic tion, of beiqgAned not less than-twen- ty dollars or imprisoned not less than twenty ways. The possession of green venison or deer skins, between the same dates subjects the party to like penalty. The killing of’ any wild tarkey, partridge, dove, woodcock, snipe, or pheasant, between the I5th of February and the 15th of October in any year, subjects the party to a fine not less than ten dollars or im prisonment. tor not less than ten days. The killing of other birds which feed upon insects, ofdestroying their eggs or young, except the jackdaw, crow, black bird, eagle, hawk, and owl, are punishable^ with like fine or imprisonment. In every, case ot conviction, one-half the fine goes to the informer and the other half to the school fund of the county. She*Trusted Him.—The Hartford Post tells the following story: As the 4-J0 train from New York reached Stanford, Saturday, an anti que locking dame thrust her head out of the window opposite the re freshment room door and briefly shouted ‘Sonny.’ A bright-looking boy came up to the wii dow. ‘Little boy,’ said she, ‘have you a mother?’ ‘Yes, ma’am.’ . ‘Do you love her?’ ‘Yes ma’am.’ ‘Do you go to school?’ ‘Yes ma’am,’ ‘And are ycu faithful to your studies?’ • ‘Yes ma’am.’ ‘Do you say your prayers every night?’ ‘Yes ma’am.’ ‘Can I trust you to do an errand for m'?’ ‘Yes, ma’am.’ ‘I think I can too,’ said the lady, looking steadily down on his manly face. ‘Here is five cents to get me an apple. Remember, God sees you.’ Colored Greeley and Brown- Club in Columbus.—Over a hun dred colored and -an equal number of whites assembled in the Court House in Columbus, on Friday night. Col. A. R. Lamar being present, was called on, says the San, and made a telling speech, after which the following, among other resolu tions, were adopted: Whereas the Republican party did in convention at Cincinnati, nomi nate Horace Greeley for President and B. Gratz Brown for Vice Presi dent of the United States, be it Resolved, That we, the colored voters of Muscogee county, do most heartily endorse this nomination, and furthermore, do appeal to our fellow-citizens throughout He State to use every effort to secure their election. Resolved, That we organize a club to be knowfi as the Greeley and Brown Club of Muscogee county. Number of Shingles in a Roof.— J. D. Tat gives to the New York far mers' Club a role lor estimating the number of shingles required for a roof of any size, which every mechan ic and farmer should remember. First find the number of square in ches in one side ot the root cut off the unit figure, and the result will be the number of shingles required for both sates of the roof, laying five inches to the weather. The ridge board provides for the doable courses at the botttom. Example— Length of nof, 100 feet, width of one side, 30 ieet; 100x30x144 eqna Is 432,000. Cutting off the right hand figure we have 43,200 as the number of shingles required* for both sides, or 21,600 for one. HpRACE GREELEY AND A PAT ENT RAT TRAP MAN. A good thing, sajs the New York Tribune, in the way of exposing pri vate letters is the following epistle to a candidate for the Presidency, which we are permitted to print ver batim. Though it reads like a pro duction of the late Artemus Ward, of “wax figgir” celebrity, we are assured it is genuine and earnest; WEBSlEB, August, 1872. Hon. Horace Qpeeley: Dear Sir Yog will remember that I met you somd two years since at the Osborne House Rochester N Y.

STOP THE INTEREST. ** Daniel.Webster once .dined with an old Boston Merchant, and when they came-to the wine, a dusty old bottle wqs carefully decanted by Peter and passed to the host. Taking the bottle he. poured out Mr. Web ster's glass and handed it to him. Then pouring out another’ for him self, he held it to the light and said: “How do you like it, Mr. Webster ?” “I think it a fine specimen of old Port.” “Now, yon can’t guess what that cost me ?” said the host. “Surely not,” said Mr. Webster. “I only know that it is excellent.” “Well now I can tell you, for I made a careful estimate the otlfjr day. When I add the iuteresWto the first price, I find that it cost me the sum of just one dollar and twenty cAi}.s per glass 1” • ™ “Good gracious! you don’t say so,” said Mr. Weoster; and then draiuing his glass, he hastily pre sented it again with the remark: “Fill it up again as quick as you can, for I want to stop that con- fouuded interest.” HORACE GREELEY’S RIDE. When Mr. Greeley was in Califor nia, ovations awaited him at every town. He had written powerful leaders in. the Tribune in favor of the Pacific Railroad, which had greatly’ endeared him to the citizens ol the Golden State. And, therefore, they made much ol him when he went to see them. At one town the enthusiastic pop ulace tore his celebrated white coat to pieces, and carried the pieces home to remember him by. The citizens of Placerville prepar ed to fete the great journalist, and an ejetra coach, with extra relays of horees, was chartered ot the Cali fornia Stage Company to carry him from Folsom to Placerville, distance forty miles. The extra was on some account delayed and did not leave Folsom until late in the afternoon. Mr. Greeley was to be feted at seven o’clock that evening by the citizens ot Placerville, and it was altogether necessary that he be there at that hour. So the Stage Company said to Henry Monk, the driver of the extra. “Henry, this great man must be there by seven o’clock to-night.’ And Henry answered: ‘The great man shall be there.” • The road were in an awful state, and during the first four miles out of Folsom the progress was slow. ‘•'Sir,” said Mr. Greeley, “you are aware that I must be at Plaoerville at seven o’clock to-night ?” ‘I’ve j:ot. my orders I’ laconically returned Henry Mouk. Still the coach dragged slowly on. ‘Sir,’ said Mr. Greeley, ‘this is not a trifling matter. I must be there^ at seven.’ Again came the answer: ‘I ve got my orders.’ But the speed was not increased, and Mr. Greeley chafed away an other half hoar, when, as he was again about to remonstrate with the driver, the horses suddenly started into a furious run, and all sorts ol encouraging yells filled the air from the throat of Henry Monk. ‘That is right, my good fellow,’ said Mr. Greeiey. ‘I’d £' ve y°u ten dollars when we got to Hacerville. Now we are going!’ They were, indeed, and at terrible 6pe«d. Crack I crack I went the whip, and again that voice 0|>lit the air: .‘Git up! hi yi! g’long! yip—yipI” And on they tore, over ruts and stones, np and down, ■ at a rate of speed never before achieved by stage horses. Mr. Greeley, who had been bounc ing from one end of the coach to the other, like an India rabbet ball, managed to get his head out of the window, and said: ‘D— n’t—n’t— you—u— u— think —we shall get there by seven if we do—n’t go so fast ?’ ‘I’ve got my orders.’ That was all Henry Monk said. And on tore the coach. • It was becoming serious. Already the journalist was becoming, ex tremely sore from the jolting, and again his head might have been seen at the window. - ‘Sir, I don’t care—are—are if we don’t get there at seven.’ ‘I’ve got my orders.’ Fresh horses—forward again, fas ter than before; over rocks and over stumps, on one of which the coach narrowly escaped turning a summer sault. • ' ‘See here !’ shrieked Mr. Greeley, ‘I doq’t care if we don’t get there at all 1’ ‘I’ve got my orders. I work for the California State Company, I do; that’s wot I work for. They said git this man through by seven, and this man’s goin’ through; you bet 1 Gerlong! whoop!’ ■ Another frightful jolt, and Mr. Greeley’s bald head suddenly found its way through the roof of the coach, amid the crash of timbers and the ripping of strong canvas. ‘Stop, you maniac!’ he roared. Again answered Henry Monk, ‘I’ve got my orders! Keep your seat, Horace.’ At Mud Springs, a village a few miles from Placerville, they met a large delegation of citizens irom Placerville, who had come out to meet the celebrated editor and escort him into town. There was a military company, a brass band, and a six- horse wagon-load of beautiful dam sels in milk-white dresses, represent ing all the States in the Union. It was nearly dark now, but the dele gation was amply provided with torches and bonfires all along* the road to Placerville. The citizens met the coach on the outskirts of Mud Springs, and Mr. Monk reined in his foaming steeds. “Is Mr. Greeley on board ? asked the Chairman of the committee. “He was a few miles back,” said Mr. Monk. ‘My orders is as follows: Git him there by seven. It wants a quarter to seven. Stand out of the way.’ ‘But, sir,’ exclaimed the commit teemen, seizing the off leader by the reins, ‘Mr. Monk, we are to escort him into town. Look at the proces sion, sir, and the brass band, and the people, and the young women, sir 1’ ‘I’ve got my orders!’ screamed Mr. Monk. ‘My orders don’ts say nothing about no brass bands and young women. . My orders says git him there by seven. Let go them lines. Clear the way, there!— Whoo*ep! Keep your seat, Horace 1’ and the coach dashed wildly through the procession, upsetting a portion of the brass band ana violently grazing the wagon which contained the beautiful young women in white. Years hence gray-haired men, Who were in this procession, will tell their grand-children how this stage tore through Mud Springs, ancUhow Horace Greeley’s bald head ever and non showed itself, like* wild appiration, above the coach roof. Mr. Monk was on time. There is a tradition that Mr. Greeley was very indignant for a while: then he laughed, and finally presented Mr. Monk with a bran-new suit of clothes. Mr. Monk himself is still in the employ of the California State Co., and is rather fond of telling a story that has made him famous all over the Pacific coast. But he says that he yields to no man man in his ad miration for Horace Greeley. AN UNWILLING BRIDE. The Detroit Free Press is respon sible as follows: “Sunday evening young man named Dresseeth and young woman naiped Elder, both Bohemians, were married at the house of the bride’s father, on Pros- , street, bat it was a marriage which the bride was forced.— loved some one else better, but parents w.ere determined on her marrrying Dresseeth, who lives in Talo.. There were quite a num- ot neighbors present at the cere- ly, which.was much delayed by obstinacy of the bride, who re- ' to stand up or answer a qnes- „. The two were, however, de- ired legally married. An hour ir, fhe bride attacked her hus- 1 ‘‘tooth and nail,” scratching face and trying out bis shirt sha daelared that she re pudiated the wbokftransaction, and got ont ot the house in her wedding clothes and had not been found up to last evening. The husband claim ed that be had also been deceived; that the girl’s paeents told him that she loved him, but would be “shy” and “reserved” until after the cere mony. * AN ARKANSAS* SOLILOQUY.

Fenters, of this county, aged 78 years, has recently taken to himself in marri age a young and blnshing bride not qilite fourteen years, and that such has been the effect on his venerable head, that his hair which was silvery white is rapidly assuming the black color of his youth.

Governor Brown owns Borne very valuable property in Cherokee coun ty, which he has cultivated to ad vantage and made quite profitable to himself before and since the war. He turned his attention to the culti vation of hay very soon after the war, and last year his income from his hay crop alone was about $10,- 000. This year*hls wheat crop will yield him about $6,000. Last winter and winter before last we saw very large quantities of corn forage (baled fodder and shucks) in the market for sale, which was grown on his farm in Cherokee. Last year he planted some cotton, and succeeded very well with it—so well, indeed, that it paid handsome ly. - This year quite a number ot neighbors have followed his example and for the fii st time, in that sec tion, a large amount of cotton is planted. We fear he has set, and they have followed, a bad example. RLPUBUCAN FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

AN EFFECTUAL METftOD OF DISPOSING OF A MULTIPLI CITY OF CANDIDATES. It is singular how strong the des ire to serve one’s country disinter* estedly, and how many men are wil ling to resign the comforts of home for the benefit of a grateful constitu ency. This accommodating spirit having manifested itself in innumera ble aspirants in the up-country to an extent determinal to the itfterests of the Democratic party, the candi dates have been prevailed npon to submit their claims to the voters of their county, and those receiving the largest number of votes are de clared the regular candidates of the party. This settles the question ef fectually, “Ignores old county conven tion system, puts the candidates on their popularity with the masses, and retires the hindmost in the race. Tbe experiment has been tried and worked so well in "Floyd, that other counties have resolved to test it.
