Eli Perkins—Flirting Girls and
Flirting Fellows.
Fifth Avenue llotei., February
10. —Those flirting fifth-avenue fellows!
Everywhere I go the young ladies
are furious at the way Browns boys
are conducting themselves this winter.
Their chief aim seems to be to get a
young lady “on the string” and then
trifle with her affections. They al
ways talk, but they never propose
They fuss around three or four months
with a young lady and then plead
poverty and the I don't- want-to-take
you-from-your-nice-home dodge. Now,
the girls are willing to go. Tiiey are
willing to live in a garret with a
brave, handsome, working fellow, with
a heart big enough to kill them with
manly love. They don’t like these
timid, calculating fellows. They like
a man who will rush headlong where
ev-er love beckons him, knowing that
happiness and wealth will surely follow
after. The young ladies begin to get
mad. They are tired of waiting.
Tins letter, from a young Fifth-ave
nue bell, came yesterday, and it tells
well the syren tale of love and flirta
tion.
“ Fifth Avenue, Febmary 9. — My
Dear Kli: We Filth avenue young
ladies have got an idea. You know
the New‘York Flirting fellows have
been going on dreadfully lately We
never know when they are in earnest.
They keep us waiting watching and
fussiug, but they never come right
square Out and propose They talk
sVect 'enough —but when we get them
right down to the proposing point
they dodge off or remain silent.
“ Why, only Sunday night, Charley
Brown whom I love—really love, too
much for anything—called, and even
he fooled me like the rest. I’ll tell
you how it was :
“Fa and ran were at church, and
sister had gone up to Vassarto school,
"when Charley—the dear boy—came.
Well, we sat on the sofa, where we
always do. By and by he took my
hand ; then he told me he loved me.
This made me blush—not because it
was anything new, for the fellows all
say that.
“‘Do you love me? 1 he asked,
leaning forward so that I felt his head
against mine.
“Yes, Charley, you know* I do,’’ I
replied, and theft I—why I waited
for Charley to say the rest, bit he
held my hand thoughtfully a little
while and then dodged off by saying,
“ Well, Lizzie, I'm glad you love ine,
for I do like to be loved ! ”
“ Oh, the mean fellow*! I could
cry with rage, but I like him, and I
like to have him come here, but I do
think it was mean to make .me com
mit myself so, and then he—why?
maybe he’ll go right off and and > the
same thing to some other girl to
night ”
•lizzie's idea.
“ This is our new idea. All the
girls have agreed to it. We call it
the honorable dodge, and we are
bound to put through every flirting
fellow a® New* York on it. The idea
is but lH tell >ou how 7 I practiced it
last night and you will understand it
better. But you know it is a secret,
and ot course, you are to be trusted.
“Well, last night Fred Palmer call
ed. You kuow* he is an awful flirt.—
W e sat on the same sofa where Char
ley and I sat before. The gas was
low, and pretty quick Fred began to
talk ‘spooney,’ I preteuded to be af
fected. Then he said, ‘w*hat a pretty
ring you have, Lizzie.’ The old
dodge, you know.”
“Yea, so-so,” I replied.
“Is that yonr crest engraved ott it?”
he asked taking my hand. (Another
old dodge, you know.) “It isn’t half
pretty enough for your hand,” he con
tinued ; “ you should have a diatn >nd
solitaire. Would you like one?” he
asked ? ” looking lovingly into my
eyes,
“ Yes,” I said, “if it comes from the
right one.”
“How would you like one from me,
Lizzie? he asked, with a sigh.
“Oh ! I should be delighted, if I
thought you loved me,” and then I
looked down on his coat sleeve.
“ But, Lizzie, you know I do love
you —I love you dearly. I ”
“Do you love me enough to speak
to lather about it? ” 1 asked inter
rupting him.
“Yes, dear Lizzie, I will speak to
him to-moiTow,,’ he said, kissing my
hand.
“No, Frederick,” I remarked, re
moving my hand from his convulsive
clasp, “I’m glad you are willing, but
I’m engaged to Alfried -Sinith, you
know, and I was only seeing how far
yoa would go!”
So keep the idea a secret a liftle
while, my dear Eli, and we gills will
fool every fellow in New York.—
Mum is the word 1 Yours,
hlZZlf.
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 1, 1872.
Pay for Brain Work.
“Gail Hamilton has recently been
engaged as one of the editors ot Woods
Household Magazine at a salary of
three thousand dollars which is about
ten dollars a day. How r a dollar month
ly magazine, including contributions
from the writers, at from twenty-five
to two hundred dollars per article, can
afford to pay its editors from one
thousand to thee thousand dollars
salary is a fianancial problem.”
The above extract from “Rowell’s
Recorder,” indicates a bonditioa of
things to w*hich we are strangers at the
South. Here is a dollar magazine
which can afford to pay one of its fe
■male editors a salary of three thou
sand dollars per annum. What other
are paid w*e do not know. Our readers
will recollect our calling their attention
in our last issue, to the list of distin
guished contributors to this monthly,
all of whom are,of course, liberally
paid. The circulation must be im
mense to warrant this expense.
Our object in calling attention to
this subject is, to impress the fact that
the readers of the valuable journals of
the day are interested, as well as the
proprietors, in extending their circu
lation, and not only cheapened, but
elevated and improved, both as to the
manner and the matter.
Suppose, for instance, that The
Plantation had a circulation of tvventv
thousand—which it might readily have
by the efforts of it3 friends. The pro
prietors might then well ass >rd to era
ploy varied and eminent talent and pay
it well, while the cost to its present
readers would be greatly diminished.
With us at the South, brains are
about the poorest kind of property, un
less they be employed in business or
in law* or in medicine. An ordinary
book-keeper receive as large a salary
as the editor who may bring to his
chair a graceful and facile pen, and
results of years of an observant and
varied experience. This does hot arise
from the penuriousness of proprietors,
but from the fact that the c irculation
of their papers will not allow* larger
salaries.
Yet, we frequently enter Farmer’s
houses and find Northern, butno South,
ern, Agricultural papers. It is said,
in justification, that the Southern pa
pers cost too much. Why are they
comparatively costly? Because of their
limited circulation. Let those interes
ted in southern Agriculture extend
their circulation, and the cost will be
speedily reduced to the Northern stand
aid.
There is an an analogous deficiency
in the matter of summer travel. Per
sons in our cities work hard during the
winter, abuse Yankees as hard as they
work, and although their up-country
scenery and climate are as fine as in
any part of the North, as soon as warm
weather comes tnev are oft'to the Noth
'•to spend their own winter’s earnings.
When asking why they do not patron
ize their ow*n watering places, the answ*er
is that the hotels are Dad. We should
like to know how they ever can become
good, furnishing comforts and luxuries
without patronage ?
It is so with agricultural papers.—
How can they ever become cheap with
out patronage ?—The want of pataon
age of talent, except in its application
to more money making, is the oppro
brium of the South. If in a good sense,
w*e would be really independent, we
must patronize, not only home mate
rial industry, but home talent usefully
employed, wether in the pulpit, the
school room, or iu the editor’s sanc
tum.
There are good men and true men
among us who have overlooked the
special view of this subject of pay lor 1
brains Asa general rule, in its par
ticular application, it is good sense to
buy where we can get the best bar
gains. But in its larger and economic
sense, this depends upon interest con
nected with the mere bargain, but
superior to it. If, by a loss in a par
ticular instance, we can advance an
interest which indirectly, but certainly
advances more permanent gain. This
is a large subject and we merely enter
upon it. We close this article with a
particular application.— if, by a loss
of one or two dollars per annum, by
the patronage of a home, instead of a
Northern, journal, we cau directly and
indirectly so improve our system of
culture that, in ten years, we shall have
advanced the saleable value of ourfarm
of 1,000 acres, the merest trifle per au
num. per acre, during that time, we
shall have paid for our agricultural
newspaper a great many times over,
and have something left in money, be
sides the healthful iuflunee upon oar
children and neighbors to whom we
lend the paper. The Agricultural
press has been one of the leading in
struments iu producing prosperity at the
North. Hence, some of these papers
count their subscribers, not by tens,
but, literally, by hundreds and thous
ands: Their proprietors have the meant
in consequence of this immense circu
lation, to scatter their papers broadcast
in Europe. The attention of the for
eign capitalist, farmer and laborer is
arrested. Hence, they flock to the
North in countless numbers, therein*
keeping landed estate continually ad
vancing in value.
The war has left little else to us in
the way of property, but two things,
our lauds and our brains. With the
right use of these two grand resour
ces, we may yet achieve more than our
former prosperity.— The Plantation.
Mule Artillery.
Out in a certain Western fort, some
time ago, the Major conceived the idea
that artillery might be used effectively
in fighting the Indians by dispensing
with gun carriages and fastening the
eonnon upon the backs of mules. So
he explained' his views to the com
mandant, and it was determined to
try the experiment.
A howitzer was selected and strapped
up3n an ambulance, with the muzzle
pointed toward the tail.—When they
had secured the gun and loaded it
with ball catridge, they led that calm
and steadfast mule out on the bluff, and
set up a target in the middle of the
river to practice at. The rear of the
mule was turned toward the target,
and he was backed gentlely up to the
edge of the bluff. The officers stood
around in a semi-eirle, while the Ma
jor went up and inserted a time luse
in the tuch-lrole of the howitzer.
When the fuse was ready, the Major
lit it and retired. In a minute or two
the hitherto unruffled mule heard the
fizzing back there on his neck, and it
made him uneasy He reached his
head around to ascertain what was
going on, and as he did so his body
turned and the howitzer began to
sweep around the horizon.
The mule at last became excited,
and his curiosity grew more intense
and in a second or two he was stand
ing with his four legs in a bunch,
making six revolutions a minute, and
the howitzer, understand, threatening
death to every man within half a mile.
The commandant was observed to
climb suddenly up a tree; the lieuten
ants were seen sliding over the bluff
into the river, as if they didn’t care at
all about the high price of uniforms;
the sergant began to throw up breast
works with his bayonet, and the Major
rolled over the ground and groaned.
In two or three minutes, there was a
puff of smoke, a dull thud, and the
mule—oh! where was he? A solitary
jackass might have been seen turning
successive back-summersaults over the
bluff, only to rest at anchor, finally,
wit'll his howitzer at the bottom of the
rvier, while the ball went off toward
the tort, hit the chimney in the Major’s
quarters, rattled the -adobe bricks
down into the parlor and frightened
the Major’s wife into convulsions.
They do not allude to it now, and no
report of the experiment was ever sent
to the War Department.
The Loss by the Rebellion. —The
Superintendent of the Census estimates
the loss of population by the late re
bellion as follows: Direct loss from
wounds and disease, 500,009; addi
tional Confederate lo£s, 350,000; in
diret loss by the withdrawal of 1,500,-

consequent diminution of births, 1,-

How a Man Feels When Freez
in*.
Last night, Dr. J. T. McMillian, a
young dentist of this place, who was
returning from a visit to North Mid
dletown. a small country village of
this county ( situated about ten miles
northeast of here), was found bva ne
gro man employed by Mr. Frank
ord, who was returning home from
Paris, about halfpast nine o’clock, in an
insensible condition, and almost fro
zen to death. W e give the doctor’s
own account of his journey, and his
miraculous escape from the icy clutches
ot the grim monster:
“ I started from North Middletown
at halfpast six o’clock, with sufficient
wrapping, as I thought, to protect me
from cold. After having proceeded
about three miles on my journey ray
I feet became very cold. By stamping
my feet upon the floor of the buggy I
imagined 1 was perfectly warm, as my
feet troubled me no longer and the
| cold sensation through my body ceas~
ed. I, however, felt dull and sleepy,
like a man who is drunk. I didn’t
care for anything. At this point I
believe I began to freeze, and ought
t > have known it, but felt so comfort
able that I did not examine my situa
tion. After I had driven about three
miles further iny hat was blown oft’,
but being, in a hurry to reach Paris, I
did not stop to hunt for it. When I
had proceeded, perhaps a mile further,
letting the reins lie iu the button of
the buggy, and paying no attention to
my driving, my horse shied off the
side of the road and ran upon a rock
pile. I then attempted to get the
lines and pull him oft’, when I discov
ered I had lost the entire use of my
right, and could barely use the left
hand; with this one I atDunpted to pull
him off the rocks, but the buggy
wheels being locked, I could not do it.
I then got out of my buggy, and in
doing so struck the bridge of my nose
across the wheel and cut it severely.
I then went to the head of the horse,
took hold of the bit and attempted to
pull him around, but he would not
move. I then commenced to unhar
ness him, with the expectation of pull
ing the buggy off the rocks myself,
feeling all the time very sleepy.
When I had almost completed the
task of unhitching the horse from the
buggy the desire for sleep became so
great that I could bear it no longer,
and I laid down upon the rocks by the
side of the horse and went to sleep. I
must have lain there some fifteen or
thirty minutes, when I was aroused by
the boy who found me. Upon his
asking me where lie should take me,
I told him to Paris, still not being
aware of my critical condion. Upon
arriving in Paris my feet were put in
to cold water, which entirely, I think,
cured them, as they do not hurt me
this morning. My left hand does not
give me much pain, and I think will
be all right in a few days; but my light
hand was badly frozen, nothing seemed
to do it any good, and lam afraid I
shall lose three, if not four, of my fin
gers. Last night when I arrived, in
Paris 1 could give no account of my
self, but this morning 1 remember ev
ery incident.” —Cincinnati Enquirer.
Immortality.—a How ‘beautiful the
•following gem from the pen of the
late Geofg'j D. Prentice, and how hap
py the heart that can see these beau
ties as he port ray’s them:—
“Why is it that the rainbow and
the cloud come over us with a beauty
that is not of earthy and-then pass
away, and leave us to muse on their
faded loveliness? Why is it that the
stars which hold their nightly festi
vals around the midnight throne, are
placed above the reach of our limited
faculties, forever mocking us with
their unapproachable glory? And
why is it that bright forms of human
beauty are presented to our view and
then taken from us, leaving the thou
sand streams of affection to flow back
in alpine torrents upon our hearts.
We are born to a higher destiny than
earth. There is a realm where the
rainboow never fades—where the
stars will be set, but before us like
islands that slumber on the ocean, and
where the beautiful being that passes
before us like a meteor will stay in
our presence forever,”
At a recent trial the counsel for the
prosecution after severely cross exam
ining a witness, suddenly put on a look
of severity and exclaimed: “Now,
sir, was not an effort made to induce
you to tell a different story?” “ A dif
ferent story from what I have told, do
you mean?” “Yes, sir; several peisons
have tried to get me to tell a different
story from what I have told, but
they couldn’t.” “Now, sir; upon
your oath, I wish to know who
those persons are." “ Well, you’ve
tried abmt as hard as any of
them.”
