From the Atlanta Constilution.
The Georgia Western Baivoad.
The active agitation of the Georgia
Western Railroad matter wiU, we
trust, result in the immediate begin
ing of this great Atlanta enterprise.
We have arrived at a crisis in the ca
reer of our city, where the exercise of
energy and liberality is necessary to
rivet the wonderful progress of the
place, or else we must halt in our
growth. The matter rests with us.
Atlanta owes her rapid growth to
her railway facilities, to her being the
center- Of.a railway system embracing
Alabama, South Carolina, Florida and
Georgia. She has been the great dis
tributing point for these States. Her
prosperity has amazed all by the rap
idity and steadiness ofitsinevease, and
it is largely due to this fact of her be
ving so important a distributing point.
Andt his fact is due to another fact
that cannot last, viz; that the State
Road has been the great trunk line to
the Great West.
Already this latter state of things is
seriously altered. New and competing
lines are.opened, and 'being opened
up of communication with the coast
and the We3t, diverting trade
travel from Atlanta. Much of the
i trade in Alabama and South western
..Georgia is already diverted from us
>by the road from Selma to Montgom
ery. Railroads .-are buildiiig that will
put Nashville 156 miles nearer to
Montgomery by Decatur than by At
iata—from Nashville to Eufaula 150
mearer by Decatur than by Atlanta;
from Nashville rto Columbus 82 miles
by Decatur than Atlanta;
from Eastport to Columbus 208 miles
nearer by the North and South Road
than by Atlanta, etc. The same short
Ttmtes will carry the trade from’Knox
ville and Chattanooga to Alabama
and Southwestern and Southern Geor
gia instead of through Atlanta.
In the East the Blue .Ridge and
Clayton and Athens roads will, when
completed, put Augusta and Charles
ton nearer to Knoxville by those
routes than by Atlanta, diverting an
enormous trade that now goes to Car
olina and East Georgia through At
lanta.
W hat must we do to thwart this
•diversion of trade, or if .that is impos
sible, secure to ourselves a substitute
of other business to prevent injury re
sulting from so large a loss of busi
ness.
One of the most important enter
prises is the Georgia Western Rail
road. And the sooner we build it the
better. Its construction is a necessity,
an imperious, over-mastering necessity.
It is not a question of what it will
cost Atlanta to build it, but of build
ing it at any cost, and building it im
mediately. We must not be caught
napping.
Asa general rule, commerce moves
East and West. The Georgia Wes
tern Road opens up to Atlanta by di
rect line in her own control the whole
splendid territory between Chattanoo
ga and Montgomery, and between
Memphis and Vicksburg, an area un
surpassed for agricultural and mineral
resourses. In addition, this road will
tap all of the numerous Northern and
•Southern roads, making them tributa
ry to Atlanta. Asa local matter, this
road will pay. It opens up directly to
our city the commerce of a rich, fertile
section. It crosses and joins the Sa
vannah, Griffin and North Alabama
Road, the North and South Road from
Columbus to Rome, the East Alabama
and Cincinnati Road, Dalton, Rome
and Selma Road, the Alabama and
Chattanooga Road the Mobile and Ohio
Road, the Mississppi and Central
Road, the Mississippi and Tennessee
Road.
It passes through the Coosa and
Cahawba coal and iron field, the Black
Warrior coal and iron fields, the great
cotton belt ot Middle North Mississip
pi, and a fine grain and stock region.
The business possibilities are surpass
ed by none in the country. The influx
of trade to Atlanta will largely com
pensate the loss of other trade The
value ot this enterprise to this city can
hardly he estimated.
.We shall continue in other art icles'to
demonstrate the value and necessity of
the road.
How to Acquire a Good Memo-
RV - ® road too much and think
about what we read too little; the

Daniel Webster who had a rich store
of information on almost every rub

had been his habit for years to reflect
for a short time on whatever he read
and so fix the thought and ideas worth

A Negro Bank on the White
Folks’ Plan.
Sam Johnson, of New Orleans, w:s
a great authority on the levee, and
one day he called his satellites togeth
er and addressed them on the impor
tance of adopting a fiscal policy more
nearly resembling that which had rais
ed to opulence their Caucasian neigh
bors. “Niggers,” says lie, “if you
want to get rich you must save your
money. You must have a bank.
Dat’s de way de -white folks does.”
These words tell on a propitious soil.
The project went into swift execution,
and the earnings of the week were
promply forth coming. “Niggers,”
says Sam, “I will be.de cashier; won
must ’posit de money wid me, and
when you want.any you must draw on
:to it. Dat’s de way de white folks
does." All went merrily for awhile,
and the depositors were highly elated
about “de batik.”—But by and by
there began to be trouble—net with
the deposits, but the drafts. It was
found easier to get funds intojthis mod
el institution than to get them out
again, and Sam was compelled to face
the angry customers and explain. “It’s
all right,” says he, ‘hie bank,s only
suspended, and in a few will
'again resume;’.data de way de white
folks does.’ 'This expedient lasted
but a little while, however: suspicious
of foul play day by day increased, and
the storm was about to burst on the
great operator, when he found it expe
dient to-gather once more his infuria
ted depositors.and “face the music"
frankly. “Niggers,” said he, “dar
ain’t no use a mourhing about it! De
money’s spent,-and de bank broke;
and dat’s de way de white folks does!”
Scolding.
If laughing begets fat, it is no less
true that scolding is the parent of mea
gerness. Who ever saw a plump ter
magant? The virago is seraggy scrag
giness is the badge of all her tribe.
It would seem that the attrition of a
fierce, exacting temper gives sharp
ness to the human frame as inevitably
as a gritty grindstone puts a wiery
edge on a broadaxe.—Artists under
stand this fact and govern themselves
accordingly.—They invariably repre
sent ladies supposed to be given to
“the rampage” as remarkably high in
bone. Shrews are thus depicted in
comic valentines and all the illustra
tions of'“•Curtain Lectures” have pre
sented the “rib” of Mr. Caudle with
out a particle of fat. Lavater, refer
ring to female fire-brands, says, flatly
to their faces, that their noses are
sharpe. We have a dim idea that he
mentions some exceptional cases of
ladies with snub noses, who are given
to snubbing their husbands, but those
form a mild variety and only a small
proportion of the genius scold,
Don Piatt says that the hum
orist Browne, (Artemns Ward,) —who
considered the man dressed in black,
with the octoroon girl, “about as fine
looking man as he ever saw," —stole
all of his jokes from a aieal showman,
named Ward, with whom he traveled
as door keeper. Don Piatt is also a
humorist, but it will occur to many
what a pity it is that Don hadn’t an
opportunity to travel as door keeper
with some equally gifted fdaowman.

Renewing Paint. —When painthas
an old, dingy look, take a flannel
cloth, dampen it, and apply as much
first quality Spanish Whiting as will
adhere to it, and rub the paint. But
little rubbing will be required to re
move all <firt and grea c e. Rinse
thoroughly with pure water, and then
rub dry with a soft cloth.
Ivederee— Hard boiled eggs, boil
ed rice, and boiled fish of any kind
(the remnants left from dinner will do,)
in almost equal quantities, more rice,
perhaps, than fish or eggs, constitute
its component parts. Chop them all
up together, put them in a stew pan,
with a small piece of fresh butter, stir
them about well, make them hot, use
pepper and salt and you have an ex
cellent and cheap breakiiist dish.
Josh billings on Horns,
DINNER nORN.
This is the oldest and most sakred
horn there is. It iz set to inusik, ants
plays “Home Sweet Home,” about
noon. It has bin listened few with
more rapturous delile than. even'Graf
fula’s gong. It will arrest a man and
bring him quicker than a Sheriff's war
rent. It kauses the deaf to hear, and
the dumb to shout for joy. Glorious
old instrument! long may your lungs
last!
‘RAWS HORN.
A spiral root, that emerges suddenly
from the figure hed of the masknline
sheep, and ramifies until it reaches tip
end Ram’s horns are always a sure
sign ov battle. They are oised tew
butt with, but without eny respkt to :
persons. They will attact a stun wall
or a deaken of an established church.
A story is told ov old deaken Fletcher
ov Konnektikutt State, who was dig
ging post holes in a ram pasture on
hiz farm, and the moshun ov hiz bod
dy was looked upon by the old ram,
who fed in the lot as a banter for a
fight.
Without arraageiug enny terms for
the fight, the lam went incontinently
for-the deakem, and took him the first
shot on the blind side of hiz body, just
about the meridian.
The blow transposed the deakon
sum eighteen feet with heels-over head
moshun.
Exhasperated tew a point at least
ten foot beyond endurance, the deakon
jumped up andskreemed his bole voice
* * * “ yu d—d old cuss”
then all at once remembering that he
wuz a good, pious deakon, he apolo
gized by saying—“ that iz, if I may
be allowed the expresshun.”
The deakon haz my entire simpathy
on tkeiremarks made tew the rain.”
WHISKEY HORS.
This horn varys in length, from
three to six inches iz the favorite size.
It is different from other horns, be
ing ova fluid natur.
It is really more pugnashus than the
ram horn ; six inches ov it will knock
a man perfectly calm.
When it knocks a man -down it
holds him there.
It is either the principal or the se
cond in most of all the iniquity that
is traveling around.
It makes brutes ov men, demons ov
wimmen, and vagrants of children.
It has drawn more tears, broken
more hearts and blited more hopes
than all the other agency’s of the devil
put together.
Net Weight of Hogs.— The Ken
tucky rule is said to be, for the first
100 pounds, deduct 25 for gross; for
the second 100 pounds deduct 12£; for
the third 100 pounds deduct all
over the third hundred is ndt. The
net weight of a hog weighing 100
pounds gross is 75 pounds; a hog of
of 150 gross will met 118£; of 250
gross net; and a hog, the gross
weight of which is 300 pounds, will
net 256£ pounds. From the gross
weight of a hog that goes over 300,
only 441 pounds is deducted, even'
should the weight be 400. The rule,
if correctly stated, may be of use to
somebody.

Thr Aldine while issued with all tlie reg
ularity, has none of the temporary or timely
interest characteristic of ordinary periodic
als- Jt is an elegant miscellany of pure,
light, and graceful literature, and a collection
of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic
skill, in black arid white. Although each
succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to
its friends, the real value and beauty ol The
Aldine will lie most appreciated after it has
boon bound up at the close ot the year.—
While other /public publications may claim
superior cheapness as compared with nv.ilsol
a similar class,'The Aid.no is a unique and

ART DEPARTMENT.
d’he enthusiastic support so readily accord
ed 'o their enterprise, wherever it has been
introduced, has convinced the .publishers ol
Ike A Idine ol the soundness rtf their t heory
that the American public would recognize
and heartily support any sincere effort to ele
vate the tone and standard of illustrated pub
Mentions. That so many weakly wicked sheets
exist and thrive is not evidence that there is
no market lor anything better-indeed thesuc
cess of Ihe Aldine from the start, is direct
proof of the contrary. With a population to
wast, and of such varied taste, a publisher
can choose his patrons, and his paper is rath
er indicative of his own than of the taste ol
the country. Asa guarantee of Ihe excel

Where so much is paid to illustration and
