<‘My Childhood Home.”
BY R. J. GAINES.
O how I love my childhood home ? %
A here the rippling streams are flowing
My weary footsteps long to roam.
A here the Dear Old Oaks are growing.
Where the moon serenely shines ;
ind the stais are brightly beaming,
Oh, there ’mid the clustering vines,
My childhood heart was dreaming.
There’s nwta tree ’round the cot,
Where love’s early pledges were made;
But some sweet dream, endears the spot.
Where my youthful footsteps strayed.
p boyy dear ! was every loved thing,
My heart all aglow with admiration ;
As I drank ikom tuc d,eep gushing spring—
Nature’s purest and sweetest libation.
’ Pis the richest treasure, I’m sure !
That man ever raised to his lips—
Sparkling and precious and pure,
As the nectar that Jupiter sips.
If home be the mansion of bliss,
And O if that blessing be thiue !
Never exchange a pleasure like this.
For the goblet that sparkles with wine.
<‘Cut um Too Short.”
* * * The distance between my
post and Santc Fe wqs over three him
dred milys, and to facilitate matters I
was ordered to survey anew and
shorter route-cutting off about seven
ty miles. A company, numbering
eighty men, was detailed for the pur
pose; and, as the course led partly
through a wooded region, a cogsidera
ble squad was required to act as ax
men. Three or four lively black and
tan terriers accompanied the com
mand affording no little amusement
by their activity in snapping up un
wary gophers, rats, mice, and other
vermin. The aborigines who frequent
ly honored us with their presence
claiming so be “good Indian, me,”
were excessively pleased at those per
formances. On a certain occasion,
one stalwart fellow, who spoke a few
words of English, said to me ;
“Nantar h, heap good dog,”
“Yes,” I replied, “they are good
dogs.”
“Cut’ cm ear, cut’ em tail, make ’um
good dog ?”
.“Certainly; it is because their ears
and tail* are trimmed that they get
around so lively.”
“Aough ! Me got a good, dog ; cut
um tail ?”
“Yes, bring your dog, I’ll have him
f<jj you/’
Next day, my Navajo friend appear
ed with a small, black, Indian fiee,
sporting a long tail and ears to corres
pond. Unroliiuig bis precious quad
ruped from his blanket, he signified a
cLesire to have the job done without
delay ; so 1 called two men, and bade
one hold the dog while the other
docked his tail with an ax. This did
not suit Redskin, who refused to trust
his favorite to the tender mercies of a
savage w hite man, and preferred to
peyform the operation himself. I
therefore ordered one of the men to
hold the dog’s tail over a convenient
log, while the other held his head and
forepaws. All being ready, the In
dian seised an ax, but, instead of us_
ing it as any other person would have
done he swung the blade high above
bis head with both hands, as if the
object to be seperated required bis
whole strength. Just then the soldier
who held his tale gave it a sudden
pull, w hile the one at the head gave
a corresponding push. Down came
the keen weapon, dividing the unfor
tunate “purp” just forward of the hind
quarters to the infinite disgust of the
Indian, who picked up the disjointed
halves, threw his blanket oypr his
shoulders with indescribable dignity,
and exclaimed in guttural accents :
“Ugh ! H—l! Damn! Cut’ um too
short.” — Overland Monthly.
Who Ahead?”
A gentleman asks the girls the fol
lowing pointed questions: ‘‘Could
you love a man who wore false hair
on hjs head, and when he had enough
of his own? Who painted his face
and improved his form as you improve
yours ? Who pinched his feet with
small shoes, his hands with small
gloves, his waist with corsets; and
then, as if he lias not already deformed
himself enough, tied a huge bustle
around his neck, and thrust tinv
-
mountains of-wire into his bosom ?”
In reply to which a lady responds:
“Could you love a girl who defiled
her mouth with tobacco and loaded
the air with fumes of segars ! Who
staggered home several times a week
the worse for liquor ? Who indulged
in fat horses, bet high at races, and
swaggered around the streets with
questionable companions ? Which
picture wears the most alluring colors?’’
We also see it reported that Mrs.
'N an Coot says if she had all the mon
ey ever paid for liquor, she could buy
every foot of land in the world.—
Very likely. And if she had the
money paid by women for back hair
she could buy every drop of liquor in
the world.
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 3, 1872.
General Lee.
AN ENGLISH OPINION OF THE GREAT
CONFEDERATE CAPTAIN.
An English writer of great ability
has published an article in Blackwood’s
Magazine in which he gives a correct
expression of the worlds opinion of
the great Confederate Captain, Robt.
E. Lee. \\ e copy the following para
graphs from the article alluded to :
“ More than a year has passed away
since the death of General Lee. In
ordinary times such an event could
hardly have happened without reviv
ing, it only for a moment, much of
the eager interest with-which, between
1861 and 1865, the old w T orld watched
die titanic civil war of the new. But
during the October of 1870, when
General Lee breathed his lg&t, the
siege of Paris absorbed the thoughts
and engrossed the attention of civil
ized mankind. Little or no notice has
therefore been taken in England of
the death of one who, when his ca
reer, character, and military genius are
better understood, will in spite of bis
defeat be pronounced the greatest sol
dier, with tw'o exceptions, that any
English-speaking nation has ever pro
duced. Upon the other side of the
Atlantic, circumstances have conspired
to obscure the great deeds and spot
less purity of the noblest son to w’hom
the North American continent has
hitherto given birth.“
“ Lord Macauley tells us that •< no
creature is so revengeful as a proud
man who has humbled himself in vain;’
but during the concluding years of
Gen. Lee’s life no symptoms of passion
or vindictiveness were discernable in
his daily bearing. lie mourned over
the abject aud oppressed condition of
South Carolina until death freed his
soul from tire suffering which crushed
Mr, John Esten Cooke makes it
abundantly evident that he died of a
broken heart. But in order that the
virtues of a singularly pure and noble
character may not be unrecorded in
England, we desire to follow" Mr.
Cooke through some of the most no
table of his hero’s life, aud to do what
in us lies to make Robert E. Lee’s
memory a precious possession where
ever the English tongue is spoken.”
“Without maintaining that Gen.
Lee who was neither an Alexander
nor a Hannibal, and bad such odds
against him as these two great Cap
tains of ancient history, it is doubtful
w T hether any General of modern times
ever sustained for four years—-a longer
time now a days than Hannibal’s fif
teen years in the remote past —a War
in which, while disposing of scanty
resources himself, he had against him
so enormous an aggregate of men,
horses, ships and supplies. It is an
under rather than an over-estimate of
the respective strength of the tw'o
sections to state that during the first
tw r o years the odds w r ere ten to one,
during the last, twenty to one, against
the Confederates. The prolongation
cf the struggle is in no slight degree
attributed to Mr. Jefferson Davis,
w r hose high character and unselfish
ness are even now, undervalued by
the Confederates, and totally denied
his conquerors. The courage of the
rank and file of the Rebel army is re
freshing to contemplate in these 4 a y s ?
which have seen a Europen war be
tween tivo nations equal in numbers
and resources triumphantly closed in
seven months, and stained by three
unprecedented capitulations of Sedan
Metz and Paris. But after all, the
one name which in the great Ameri
can civil war, posteris narratum at
que traditum superstes erit, is the
name of Robert E. Lee.
‘‘Upon the 3d of June, 1862, Lee
assumed command of the Confederate
army of Northern Virginia. From
that day forward until the 19th of
April, 1865, his life became a term
convertable or synonymous with the
history for thirty four months of the
North American continent. Upon
both sides armies of immense magni
tude fill the eye of the reader, while
generals succeed to generals, strut
their hour upon the stage, then are
seen no more. But the American
war as intercedes further and further
into the distance, is seen to have de
rived its shape and form from General
Lee more than from any other indi
vidual who fought on either side. Ie
would be difficult to speak or tbink of
the history of Europe between 1800
and 1815 without having the tongue
occupied exclusively by Napoleon.—
Similarly the name of General Lee
has blotted out in North America
all recollection of those by whom he
was supported or opposed. It is very
possible that if at the end of 1862,
Stonewall Jackson had been transfer
red to the command of that Western
Confederate army which, under Bragg,
Joe Johnson or Hood, became famil
iar with nothing but disaster, Lee’s
tame might have been shared or di
minished by that of another Virginian
luminary. But impartial history will
eventually pronounce that it is more
imposible to regard either Grant or
Sherman, as Lee’s equal, than to main
tain that Wellington and Blucher
were greater than Napoleon because
( they defeated him at Waterloo.”
“ \\ e submit to all military readers
that never yet did 5Q,000 men quit
them more gloriously than these tater
demalion and starving l&outhern regi
ments (1864.) “ Never let me hear,”
says Sir Walter Scott, ‘that brave
blood lias been shed in vain—it sends
a roaring voice down through all time.’ !
It is not necessary to comment upon j
the magnificent abundance and varietv
of food, drink, and munitions of war
supplied to the two hundred and fifty |
thousand men who followed General
Grant; but when military epicures,
while familarizing themselves with
every detail of Worth and Sedan,
profess themselves unable to study ;
the irregular emilliet of two armed i
American mobs, wo venture to' tel l
them that in all that constitutes true
manliness, the fraus-Atlantic civil war
far surpasses the Franco German con
flict. Nothing is easier, says the stew
ard of Moliere’s raiser, than to give a
great dinner with plenty of money;
the really great cook is he that can
set out a banquet with no money at
all. Gen. Grant in 1864 drew upon
an almost inexhaustible treasury
General Lee’s account was heavily
withdrawn before the campaign be
gan. Nevertheless, it is every day
more and more patent that Mr. Swin
ton was right in believing that the
ragged famished, and suffering regi
menrs of seoessia, numbering altogeth
er fifty nine thousand men, would
have disconfitted their two hundred
and fifty thousand pampered and sur
feited opponents, if Gen. Sherman and
his western army had not revived
the spirits and re-anmiated the coin
age of his drooping colleague in Vir
ginia. Victrio caus.i ZXis. placioit,
sed victa Cantoni .”
“ The fame and character of Gen.
Lee will hereafter be regarded in Eu
rope and America under a dual aspect.
In Europe we will consider him mere
ly as a soldier; and it is more thau
probable that within the present cen
tury we shall have accustomed our
selves to regard him as third upon the
list of English speaking generals, and
as having been surpassed in soldierly
capacity by Marlborough and Welling
ton alone. In Amereica, when the
passions of the great civil Avar shall
have died out, Lee will be regarded
more 33 a man than as soldier. His
infinite purity, tenderness, and gener
osity, will make his memory more and
more precious to lijs countrymen
when they have purged their minds of
prejudices and animosities which civil
war invariably breeds. They will ac
knowledge before long that Lee took
no step in life except in accordance with
what he regarded as and believei] to
be his duty, and they will hold up his
example, as one of the brightest pat
terns which they can set before their
children,” «
“ Drummers.*’
Most noticeable, both for voice and
manner, are hosts of “ drummers,”
who know every body; whose fund
of stories is never exhausted; who
travel to the best of our belief all night,
and who sell goods and customers all
day ; /we never heard of one’s being
caught asleep, indeed we believe they
never sleep.) who keep one eye ever
open for business, and the other con
stantly watchful for car flirtations.—
Men whose clothes, although of good
material, have a general air of Having
been worn several weeks without be
ing removed ; whose “ cheek ’’ is
boundless ; whose tongue is tireless.
They are the exclamation points in
the history of modern travel. They
are the most constant pf all classes in
the patronage of the hotels, flattery of
the servant girls, and the abuse of the
porters. They are comets of business
astronomy, eccentric in orbit and ap
pearance. They possess much ot the
shrewdness of the old Yankee peddlers,
together with more of their own, and
they increase in numbers, in ingenuity
.•. * 1
in persistency, and in everything with
every year. While they resemble
each other, each class has peculiarities
of its own. The New York drummer
may be known by his diamond, by his
restlessness, by his pocket full of illus
trated papers, and by his assumption
ot superiority over all other drummers.
The Boston drummer wears clothes of
a milder cut, displays the most fault
less taste as to traveling bags, is }>ar
tieular as to the gloss of his hat; but
for all that, wears the distinctive
marks of his profession in his face,
aud tells his profession in his manner.
The Philadelphia drummer follows his
New York brother, and renders him
the homage of close immitation.

to Europe to pay off coupons.
Napoleom the Third.
The ex Emperor Napoleom evident
ly does not feel very keenly the heart
sickness which is supposed to attend
the deferring of hope ; for he has
abandoned the habit of seclusion at
Chiselhurst which he at first assumed
| and is perambulating the country as
gaily and smilingly as if empires were
not and ambition were a lost vice. He
appears suddenly at rustic gatherings
in a straw bat and his pockets
well stuffed with cigarettes, sits himself
by the modest tables and feasts geni
ally with the yeomen of Britain, bow
ing gracefully at their lusty cheers
and gallantly passing the homely
dishes among the maiden. Amayrllis
is wild with delight, and forthwith
buys a wood-cut of his Majesty which
she hangs in that temple cf rustic in
nocence and virtue, her bedroom.—
The next we hear of the “bloody ty
rant,” as the Reds are pleased to call
this rather stout and very pleasant
faced old gentleman, he is taking a
promenade, with the ex Empress on
his arm, through the lovely town of
Rochester, pestered somewhat by lac
ed sheriffs, and cocked-hatted beadles
who persist in paying him ostenta
tious honors, but very ahmably ac
knowledging the welcome which the
people give him all along the irregu
lar, geble-iidorned old streets. Then
he takes a steamboat ride, sitting
cross legged on deck, and consuming
numberless cigarettes, and familiarly
chatting with any one who is ambi
tious to remember having spoken to
an Emperor. It is, perhaps, a ques
lion with him whether, after all this
is not a pleasanter life than the fever
ish one which he has led so long at
the Tuilleries—whether peace without
power be not a happier thing than
power bristling with constant danger
and difficulty. Now he can sleep
well, and not feel his crown pricking
him in his dreams ; and the chain
shirt—if that story about the chain
shirt was not a slander—may hang
and grow dusty, forgotten in the
Chiselhurst garret.
The Rothschild Partnership.
The Overland Monthly gives an in
teresting sketch of the rise ot the
world-famed banking family of Roths
child :
In 1812, Meyer Anslem Rothchild
died leaving to the mighty fortune, of
which his wisdom had laid the foun -
dation, ten children—five sons and
five daughters—placing upon them
the injunction, with his last breath, of
an inviolable union. This is one of
the grand principles to which the suc
cess of the family may be traced.—
The command was kept by sons and
daughters with religious fidelity.—
Sisters married with urmnimous con
sent of the mother and all the chil
dren. Brothers remained in copart
nership, Their places of residence by
mutual agreement, became far asun
der. Anslem domiciliating liimself in
Frankfort j Solomon in Vienna, Chas.
in Naples ; James in Paris ; £.nd Na
than in London— But their union re
mained indissoluble. Before 1820,
tliehousehad become übiquitous. Like
a net work, it had spread itself over
Europe and its operations were felt
tremblingly in till the great loans con
tracted by nations. In days anterior
to electric telegraph and railroad,
their couriers traveled from brother to
brother. They conveyed the earlist
news. Mails were outstripped ; gov
ernment expresses were left behind ;
relays were ready at every post, com
mercial dispatches subvented by pub
lic companies as well as private enter
prises, failed in successful eompetion
with the Hebrew firm. Nathan Roth
child received in London news of YV a
terloo five hours before it was an
nounced on Change and made £200,-
000 in consequence. During the
great revolt in India. Havelock’s suc
cess which changed Consols from 84
to 80, wa3 known at the counting
room in Lombard Street a full day
before it reached the bank of Eng
land. Lord Palmerston regretted, in
his famous reply to Mr. Disraeli, that
Government had to depend for its ear
liest advices of the attacks upon Se
bastopol on “the courtesy of the Israe
litish house.” It was the same during
the Franco Itallian war ; it held good
five years ago when Prussian legions
thundered their triumphal progress
against the strongholds of Austria; and
it is only yesterday that the Rothchilds
discounted in the London market the
fatal surrender of Bazaine a full two
hours before it was recorded by the
telegraphic wires that stretch to the
Royal Exchange.
A yankee editor says: If the
party who plays the aceordeon in this
vicinity at night, will only change his
tune occasionally, or sit where we can
scald him when the engine lias steam
on, he will hear of something to his
advantage.”
A Racy Examination.
The following racy examination of
candidates for admission to the bar is
taken from the Western I.aw Journal:
The examination commenced with :
“ Do you smoke ? ”
“ I do sir.”
“ Have you a spare cigar ? ”
“ Yes sir,” (extends a short six,
“ Now, sir, what is the first duty of
a lawyer ? ”
“ To collect fees ”
“ Right. What is second ? ”
‘ To increase the number of clients.’
“ When does the position towards
clients change T ”
“ When making out a bill of costs.”
“ Explain.”
“ We then occupy the antagonistic
position. I become the plaintiff and
he becomes the defendant.”
“ A suit decided, how do you stand
with the lawyer conducting the other
side ? ”
“Cheek by jowl.”
“ Enough, sir. You promise to be
come an ornament to your profession,
and I wish you success. Now, are
you aware of the duty you owe me ? ”
“ Perfectly.”
“ Describe it.”
“It is to invite you to drink.”
“But suppose I decline? ”
Candidate scratches his head.
“ There is no instance of the kind
on record in the books. I cannot an
swer the question.” -
“You are right, And the confi
dence with which you make the asser
tion shows conclusively that you read
law attentively. Let’s take a drink
and I will sign your certificate.’’
In the Wrong Bed.
An amusing incident occured in
Carver street last evening. A lady
went up stairs to put her little son to
bed, and, a3 she was about to light
the gas the child, hearing a sound of
breathing, cried out, “Oh, mama,
there’s a dog in the bed.” “Guess
not, cliild ; I ain't no dog,” in an an
gty, childish tone, came from the bed.
Turning toward the couch, the lady
saw two eyes, shining like balls of fire
in the darkness. Seizing her child
she ran affrighted and screaming to
the steet. Two policemen were sum
moned. With clubs and dark lan
terns in hand they invested the cham
ber; and when the gas was turned on,
there snugly coddled up under the
bed clothes, was a four ov five year
old darkey, as self possessed as if up
on his mother’s knee. “Who are
you ?” said the officer. “Horace
Greely Bennett, sir,” said the child.
‘Where do you live?” “In Anderson,
street.” “llow did you come here?”—
“Father went out wid the ice cream,
and I tuk a walk.” The little fellow
had seen the front door open, and en
tered. Going quietly upstairs and
finding an unoccupied bed, he laid
his drowsy form upon it for rest. The
lady’s heart had ceased to throb with
fear, and giving Horace Greenly Ben
nett a doughnut, she consigned him
to the custody of the police, who sent
him home.
A novel Temperance pledge is that
which orignated in the New York
Stock Exchange the other day. It is
addressed to sensible practical tem
perance people’ and runs as follows:
“ We, the undersigned, deprecating
thq growing evil of iutemperanoe, and
believing that it is in a great degree
induced by a mistaken idea of socia
bility and politeness ; therefore, with
a view of mitigating this evil in a prac
tical way, we hereby pledge ourselves
to pay pnly for the liquor which we
ourselves drink, and to abstain from
drinkiug any liquors which others pay
for.”
Lix£3 in Lord Byron’s Bible.—
These Lines were copied from the fly
leaf of Lord Byrons Bible—-probably
the very one his sister gave him, as
the Marquise de Boissy writes this
was the one he daily used:
Within this sacred volume lies
The mystery of mysteries,
Oh ! happy they of human race,
To whom our God hath given grace
To hear, to read, to see to pray,
To lift the latch and force the way ;
But better had they qever been born,
Who read to doubt, or read to scorn 1
