Yet it is the busy printer.
Roils the car of knowledge on,
And a gloomy mental winter
Soon would reign if he were gone.

Good on Butler.
A rather amusing story is in circu
lation at tlu* expense of the eminent
gentleman fron#Massaclmsetts, com
monly called “ Old Strabismus.” At ,
ihc President’s levee the other night,
which was densely crowded, an old la
dy from the interior somewhere, in a
tainting condition, requested her hus
band to get her an ice.
“Cant be did,” responded “hub,” in
some irritation; “there ain’t no re
freshments here.”
“Don’t believe it. .Didn’t we get
plenty at Belki-ap’s the other night V’
the good woman said angrily; “now
go and get me an ice and some lem
onade.”
“ I toil you now don’t be a fool; th^re
ain’t no refreshments; everybody says
so,” grunted the lord and master.
“ You are quite mistaken, sir,” said
the lion. S. S. Cox, who happened to
be near, and who never loses an op
portunity to put in a joke. “The Pres
ident always provides substantially.
The e is his butler, whose business is
to show ladies to the supper room,”
and the 11011. little jester pointed to
Gen. Butler. “You'llliind him a lit
tle stuck up and cross, but you must
not mind that; tell him to get you ter
rapins, ice cream, lemonade, or what
ever you want, with a silver spoon to
stir t with.”
Tnis was said so gravely that the
two -ti uggled through the crowd to
where General Battler stood talking
to some ladies.
N “ 1 say, mister, I am told you are
the butler,” said the man.
“ I’m Gen. Butler,” replied Old
Stra isiuus, pleasantly, thinking the
two some country people filled with
adm ration of his greatness.
“1 don’t care whether you are a
general butler or not, but my wile
wants some terrapins and lemonade,
with a silver spoon.”
“Sir?” snorted old B. in amaze
ment and disgust.
“Oh ! don’t take on airs, old cock.
Come now, hurry up those terrapins.
“ Von must he drunk, sir ! you must
bed unk ?”
Vo he a ; n’t,,’ screamed the wife.
“ H >’s a Good Templar; he ain’t drunk,
but I g ss you are.”
Roar of laughter greeted this, in
which S. S. Cox was forced to join.
Gen. Butler reddened in the face, and
tegan puffing his checks out in the
nost violent manner.
. “I don't understand this extraordi
nary conduct. "What do you want,
~, —what do you want ?”
“Terrapins, 1 tell you.”
“What do you take me for, you
•ussed fool ?” roared Benjamin.
“ You call me a cussed fool, and I’ll
it you on the snout," screamed the
.man
At this juncture an officer of police
seized the belligerent husband and led
him away amid much laughter. But.
ler, turning suddenly, saw the mischief
maker.
“ I say, Cox, did you do that? ”
“ Well, I owe terrapins, and I’ll pay
you, mind that—l’ll pay you.”
And the two v all ed lovingly away.

CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 29, 1872.
Pityish Kfysery- iSpccikiag and Recitar
tion bay.
A western writer thus vividly por
trays the miseries of a country school
boy :
What ,a stillness prevailed iu the
(•hi school-room when the “master”
announced, before dismissing school
that “on next Friday afternoon there
will be no recitations, but after bear
ing, the reading lewbfts evety voting
lady will read an original composition,
and every young man wjll commit a
| piece to memory, of poetry or prose,
which he will speak from this stand,
and those who fail to do either will
be punished.”
How the perspiration*started on the
brows of the timid ones as the solemn
speech was made. Even the bov who
had put his mittens on under the desk,
and placed one foot out in the aisle,
ready to “ go” at the word, “ School is
dismissed,” pulled off his mittens ami
began searching for a book to take
home “to learn something out of,”
Jthd whispered profanity—such as
“darn it,” “confound the luck,’’ came
up from behind tlie desks, and all felt
as if there was to be an eclipse, and
no glass had been smoked, except the
one smart chap who had “rather
speak than not,” and the girls who
had big sisters at boarding-schools,
whose previously literary efforts at
home; affoided rare chances for plagiar
ism, which by a little help would de
ceive the teacher.
At last the anxiously awaited day
arrives ; the forenoon is passed in the
usual manner, but at noon there is a
decided change made in the appear
ance of the scholars and school-room.
The ‘big girls’ are “dressed up” for
the occasion Their gowns are of
finer texure than those worn during
the week; some are adorned with
their mother’s “breastpin”atid “prize”
ear-rings ; white stockings take the
place of the “literary blue ” or black
ones, which would not look so well on
the platform (for there were no dresses
en t rain in those days); nearly all
wore “ beau-catchers” plastered on the
side of their foreheads, and ciiarcoa 1
had been used as a dentifrice daring
the intermission between fore and af
ternoon.
The little barefooted girls appeared
in bright, copper toed shoes and tape
embroidered pantalettes of the Nan
keen style. With the boys there was
also an attempt at improved toilet—
boots had been greased, paper collars
turned, and a portion of their ? Sun
day-go-to-nieetiu' clothes ” donned for
; the occasion ; shocky heads of hair
hud been combed into partial subjec
tion, and the boy with chapped hands
had soaked his knuckles in bran and
water until portions of the original
cuticle were visible. The “doctors
son ” exhaled a powerful aroma, all
his father’s flavoring Essences; and
the “ tavern keeper’s ’’ had annointed
himself with “ Jamaica” as a substitute
for bay rum. The “ master,” to main
tain a dignity equal to the occasion,
had also exchanged his everyday coat
for a swinging tail” of fabulous length
and shiny in spots as a duck’s wing.—
bell rings—reading lessons are heard,
the books put away, the speaking
platform cleared for work, and the
show opens.
“Samuel Snubnose ! ’ calls the teach
er ; and “ Samuel,” with a parting
glance at ids hooks, stumbles along
toward the stand, where he becomes
the target of a hundred eyes, and his
face the color of a turkey gohler’s wat
tles. A bow, such as he would have
made if a brick had struck him at
the instant in the hack of the head,
and he essays to speak:
“ The curfew lolls the knell of parting day,
Tb* lowing (pause) heads wind slowly <'’ei the lea,
The— he—(prompter) "ploughman’—ploughman
leaves the weary way
And plod*- the dark to worldnees and to me
Save, from ihe yonder ivv-mantled tower
The mov ng muon doth to the owl complain (snick
ering)
Save (te he he) where the beetle wheels hie best
right boweT
And drowsy (inklings lull her distant reign. ’
The teacher raps on the desk and
says: “Samuel no levity ; ” and Sam
uel, who has forgotten pretty much
all his “elegy,” concludes as follows :
"• lkre rests his (ha ha) head (mort, vpon the lap
of yearta,
A youth to (prolonged snickerlunknown,
Melancholy marked him at his birth,J
And science frowned on him for her own.”
Sam goes to his seat and holds his
nose to keep from laughing out loud,
while at a nod from the master, ‘Lu
cinda Wirth’ trips,all smiles and blush
es, to the platform, and, after “kurtesy
ing,” proceeds to read in an inaudible
voice something about “be kind to thy
fa f ko".” The teacher says ’’louder.”
| and we, catch a few words: You: 1 fath
er loves you, and has been at a g:e: «
j expense a bringing you up, so you
! should obey him and not ,” here
ensues a jumble of sounds which no
i one can interpret, which cease, and af
ter folding the composition “Lucinda 1 ’
! lays it on the teacher’s table forinspec
tiou, “kurtseys” and goes to herseat
“Geovge Francis Sprain,” says the—
teacher, and z rprsice- looking char.
whosojiair is gooso-oiled into curliness
steps boldly to the front. Ofebrge likes
1 this business—he is going to make a
lawyer—and in shrill voica he com
menees :—“Not many generations ago
where you sit encircled by all that em
bellishes civilized life, the wild fox
nodded in the wind, and the thistle
dug his hole unskeared”—and so he
goes on, transposing a sentence occa
sionally, but, maiidy right, and with a
firm voiee to the end. Wji have seen
George since hear ivelat man’s e tate;
he now stands in the Police Court and
defends “drunks’ for fitly cents, a case
win or lose, and ias acquired such a
reputation that a judge always comes
down harder on nis clients than any
others.
Miss Elizabeth Brandreth steps for
ward, and in a Susan B. Anthony style
reads a hifalutin, and ‘.scription of coun
try lite—how “in the spring, when
meadow larks are warbling, and gee e
quaking, she loves to go out into the
fields and cull butter-cups, and sec the
little lambkins ga üboling on the green
grassy banks (g en faro-banks her
brother said she meant), and then re
turn back to bom > again once more
and help her mother stuff sau.ages, for
if we are not kind to our parents the
sassenger meat will spile,’’ and really
we have forgotton the rest of Elizabeth’s
composition.
Then “Charles Bashful” starts for
the stand, accelerated in his motion
by a pin-thrust as he left the seat. —
He bows, ands eing a boy making
faces, commences to snicker until the
teacher comes up by his side and raps
his head with the ferule. This causes
more mirth, then m ire raps, until he
forgets his piece, and is locked up in
the wood-box in disgrace.
The minister’s s m, “Melville Winter
blossom,” is the i called to show the
scholars how a go< dboy should speak.
Melville looks as solemn as a vinegar
jug; his “piece” has been selected by
his parents principally for its moral
tone. He says:
“I do most earnestly wish I could
induce all youthful individuals to di
vest religion of its gloomy and repul
sive associations ; but, mv lords, I ask
no respit4* from death ; lam ready to
die for mv count!y. and sink or swim,
revive and perish, I am for the- Union
one and inseparable. My lords, were
I an American, as I am an English
man”—here the teacher, who has been
trying to find th * original rs the ora
tor’s remarks, stops the medley, and
Melville takes .in scab He fad been
crammed with so many pieces that he
had not been able to distinguish be
tween them, and thus defeated his pa
rents aims. But why continue this sub
jeot ? The good little girls recited “Ma
ry's Lamb” verr nicely, and the good
little boy” spoke hi - anil-tobacco piece
as follows:
“ I’ll never clie’.v tobacco—no,
Said liUtle Rober! R and:
I’ll never put it in my month,
It is a filthy *ed.”
By the way, saw this good boy
a few day’s ag >: he now chews plug
tobacco like a h orse, and smokes a clay
pipe night and day. But it would be
such a consola iou to us now to know
what has become of the lest of that
tribe of district school orators who
“Spoke their pieces” near a score of
years ago.
Ikon for the North and South.—
Col. John Iverson, of Columbus, who
carried a risk upon the iron and fa-ten
ings for the North and South Railroad,
was notified a few days ago of the
safe arrival of the same at Charleston.
\Ye suppose that, in a wdek or so, the
iron will lie in the process of being
laid, and will be pushed forward with
all posible energy. Seven months ago
this company was organized, and al
ready twenty miles of the Bond has
been graded, and tract laying will soon
begin. We arc glad to learn further
that negotiations are being effected
for the means to push forward the
work as rapidly as possible. Fresi
pont MoDoug dd and Secretary Chip
ley deserve the thanks of the friends
of the enterprise for their caution,
good management and indomitable
energy. They are the right men in
the right place.— La Grange llcpor

Ho-vy to avoid a Fatal Mistake.-
Dr. A. T. W. Lytle having seen a no
tice in the Gainsville Eagle, of the
death of a lady in Tennessee, from
morphine taken by mistake for quinine,
writes to that paper as follows :
These two drugs are very much
ahke in appearance, but morphine
will dissolve in water and form n clear
solution ; quinine will not all dissolve
but forms a clouded appearance iu
water. If people knew this, and were
to take these drugs in this way, there
need be no more deaths from the effects
of morphine, a3 every one could test
themselves, and not depend too much
on druggists.
Wanted—A Generation ct Work
ingman,
The annihilation of our system cf
labor, says the Norfolk Virginian, ren
ders it imperatively necessary for ns
to resdrt to severe economies. We
, must alter the style of onr dwelling
to accord with our changed c -ndilion
and tbo circumstances which surround
us. Especially will our kitchens have
;to be provid and with “all the modern
improvements,” and sd located nstobe
under the immediate supervision of
the mistress of the house. The fann
er will find ij. to his advantage to avail
himself more than ever before of labor
saving machines. And so on through !
!
j every department of life; whatever
will economize time and labor must be ;
studied and adopted by our people
as far as practic ible.
The youth of the State must be
reared with a full knowledge of the
value of a manly self-reliance and
| shou and lie taught to work for thefn
! selves. When we cease to entertain
extravagant and erroneous ideas of the
social dignity of idleness, then, and]
not till then, will we begin to build up ]
our waste places, as the trite phrase
runs. This age looks more and more |
every day at results, and although the '
war has left us impoverished, although
we are oppress* and with debt and taxa
tion, and struggle under a most iniqui
tous Constitution, still we have re
sources within ourselves which a race 1
of busy workmen can develop, and ]
that, too, with the certainty ot accu
mulating wealth and power. Tims
theory is not at all incompatible with
sound education for our boys in the
ordinary meaning of the term. They
can be students of books, and work
also at the plow, or forge; with axe
ami hammer; and a recognition ot the
circumstances by which we are sur
rounded teaches every thoughtful par
ent in the Statethaf the next generation
to be successful, must be able to work
with their hands as well as their heads.
•‘Silf-'lab Ujn ” —The Secret of
Success.
Horace Greely, in a recant disquisi
tion on ‘‘•Learning Without Teachers,
or S -‘lf-Made Men,” advises the “ youth
lacking money, and ambitions for
knowledge not to go to college and
run in debt to yi&y his way, but to lol
low a trade and study in his spare
hours. This does not suit the medio
cre literati who, having spent their
; line in acquiring all the living and
dead languages, find at lust the appli
cation of this education will not, in
the “ struggle for life,” net them much
m -re than what is l eaped by the aver
age laooror, without the so-called po
lite education.
It is a fallacy that to become scion
title the youth must first master ail
the languages, dead and living. In
fact, so far asagriculture is concerned,
the student may acquire a practical
know! . dge of so much as relates to
this art without a thorough knowldge
to the dead languages at all. lie may
acquire the technical terms as he goes
along, and the student in science, we
think, in such institutions for instance
as the Sheffield Scientific School at
New Haven, and perhaps the Poly
technic School at Troy, may support
himself or nearly so by honorable in
dustry during his course.
There is a great deal of buncombe
in the laudation of “ self-made ” men.
Asa rule they have become celebrated
from their innate talents, and in spite
of the difficulties experienced in self
education the better—if only that ed
ucation is tempered by practical art
and practical science. This is the tal
isman to success in “these times,’ and
has always made such men as Galileo,
Newton and Agassiz, in science, and
the host of thinkers and workers in
every department of technical art.
That greater progress has not been
made in agricultural science is due to
the Pact that it has been treated from
the old educational stand-pont. But
progress is being made in this direc
tion, and we must be content to wait.
The next ten years will show such ad
! vance in this direction as will astonish
| the world. We are yet only on the thres
! hold of agricultural science. We are
yet to find that the laws underlying
the most successful prosecution of this
industry are as simple as they are beau
tiful. We must work and wait.—
: Western
Young America will read with
disgust information that the Crown
Prince of Germany is a printer, and
nis s* n ilenry has j ..ot l ecu appren

thing is due to an old custom follow
ed by the Prussian royal family, and
might well be followed by all of our
sovereign families. But they’ll not

After the State*. Money.
Yesterday, or information filed by
Col. Candler and his Investigating
Committee, a number of attachments
were issued against the men who, up
on investigation, have been found to
have shaied in the State Rond moneys
The aggregate runs to over
OJY and the attachments touch the,
pillowing parties:
Sch ti Id Holing Mill £57.030
This is for iron.
Foster Blodgett nearly $63.00). —
This is exclusive of the $20,033 cov
ered by his bond. Included in this
item is sl6, J 33 collected from the
Post Ofiiee Department and never ac
eounttd for. The items are various.
Blodgett has been writing back to be
permitted to return without arrest.
N. P. Ilutckiss $14.03 ). This is
exclusive of $20,03J covered by his
bond. It includes all sorts of comical
items, from horses to coal. One item
of SS7S is tor use cf si eping car; an
other of SSJ is for whisky; $18) for
a horse.
Varney A. Gaskiil $15,033. Os this
$8,533 is the Dobbins money, retain
big fees ; sl3) for trip to Savannah,
making speeches so»- Green Line, etc.
James Mullens $8,03). Tins includes
domestic items of house-fencing, double
pay, etc.
A L. Harris $3,033. Switches, not
for thrashing children, are included
here.
John Rice, proprietor of New Era,
$25,0 )3. This is the amount of State’s
money used to .buy the Era from Dr.
Bard.
I. P. Harris $19,-333. There is no
attachment here as the bond of $13),-
covers the amount
The use to which the State Road
money was put were odd and various
Buying newspapers, importing race
lioises, running turf exchanges, buil
ding houses, junketing, etc, etc. Veri
ly we shall never see the like of these
Radical jokers again. From Blodgett,
and Bullock down, they constitute the
most inimitable band of festive yet
practical plunderers that the world ev

Sketches of D .via and Parker.
Judge Davis was born in Cecil
county, Md., on March 9th, 1313.
He graduated at Kenyon College,—
Ohio, in 1332, and subsequently studied
law in Massachusetts, and also at the
School iu New Haven, Connecticut.-
Removing to Illinois in 1833, he was
ad i.itted to the bar, and soon after
settled at Bloomington, in the practice
of his profession. He was at one time
a conservative Henry Clay whig. In
1344 he was elected judge of the eighth
judicial district ol the rotate. In 1353
and again in 1861, he was reelected
tr this position. He had long been
an intimate personal friend of Mr Lin
coln, and as a delegate to the Chicago
Convention of 186 J, had a large share
in securing his nomination for the
Presidency. The two had been thrown
much together by the practice of their
profession in a thinly populated coun
try, and the intimacy between them
was of the closest and most confiden
tial character.
Ju>t as Judge Davis was entering
upon his third term as circuit judge
in Illinois, he was, in 1862, appointed
by Mr. Lincoln to the position of As
sociate Judge of the Supreme Court
of the United States, which position
he still holds. Mr. Lincoln also ap
pointed him his executor, and the
estate of the president was wound up
by Judge Davis. At the time of the
latter’s appointment to the Supreme
Bench he was an avowed Republican
but of late years his tendencies have
been decidedly conservative, and there
was considerable talk of his being an
available candidate for the Presidency
on the D -mocratic ticket. Ilis course
on the legal-tender cases, however—
he voted with the majority in May of
last year, holding the legal-tender act
to be constitutional—lias served to
estrange him from the Democracy,
although he has frequently been men
tioned during the past few months as
a possible Republican candidate who
would receive the support of the “pas-
I sive policy” Democrats againstGener
!al Grant. Judge Davis is a man of
i large fortune, and personally is above
! reproach. But lie has never been re
| garded as a jurist of commanding
ability.
