THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. By S. H. SMITH & CO.] From the Rome Ga. Courier.] IRON. We are rich. We are all rich. Every uian is rich who gets pleuty to do and good pay for it. The over flowing abundance that is now daily pouring into om city has heretofore l ever been equalled. Providence bus blessed us with good seasons and our people have been diligent,. The busy and constant exchanging of products make our city lock lively. Both run chunts and tanners are doing well, and ev< rybody is iQ a cheerful mor-d The farms were never so faithfully cultivated as they have been this year. Fences hi ve been reret, briars cut down, ditches dug, new cribs built, cotton screws repaired or uew ones purchased. By deep plowing, futui ers were foitifying against a bad sea son. Altogether it looks like lecon struction, and if we have political peace we will ask for no mo>e. Just at this time of our greatest prosperity since the war, there looms up before us au undeveloped, but « certain and wonderful estate, which is destined to enrich and make power ful the people of this section. A fair estimate of the prospective v due of this magnificent estate would reach such fabulous amount that it would seem incredible. It is sufficient to say that the iron ours of Cherokee Geor gia and Alabama that are within easy reach, are woith a thousand times rnoio than the aggregate of all her other interests combined. There is no country in the world that equals tins in the quality, quantity and ac cessibility of its ores. It is a reason able estimate that there is enough within a radius of thirty miles from this city to supply a thousand furna ces for a century to come. The de caying furnaces of the old world, and the rapididly increasing demand for the product has so stimulated the irou interests of this section that searcely a train that does not bring prospect ing capitalists among us. Think of projecting railroads in Persia, Afghan istan, Egypt, Asia Minor and other countries, some of which lines are 2,000 miles long, and most all of which are officered and contracted for by English capitalists. The uses of iron in other branches of industry are so rapidly increasing that the demand is already greater than the supply.— Shrewd und powerful business houses are now engaging at high prices for future del very. Our own humble capitalists have not been asleep to this magnificent prospect that lies before us. But few people, oven iu our community, are aware of the extent to which home investments in iron property have al ready b£en made. For their benefit we herewith submit a partial state ment of the works in operation, and projected iu this vicinity. Wo begin with THE ETNA IRON WORKS. This company began operations on the 6th day of last April on a capital .stock, all paid in, of $75,600. They own nearly 9,000 acres of land. Their works ure situated 21 miles from Rome, on the S. R. & D. Railroad, and their ore beds within a few rods of tho furnace. For 200 consecutive days the products of the furnace have averaged ten tons per day—making a total product of 2,000 tons. This iron has netted them at the works SSO per ton, while the entire cost of production has been but $lB per ton. This net profit of $32 per ton has re alized in less than seven mouths the sum of $64,000. No doubt is enter tained about running this amount up to SIOO,OOO by the 6th of April next, which will be a gain of 133 per cent, upon the original investment within the space of twelve months. A 10 per cent, stock is rated a good par stock. If this be so, the Etna proper ty is worth one million of dollars, for it is now paying over 10 per cent, upon that sum. Room enough and ore enough is there for a dozen furnaces, and the company contemplate rein vesting their earnings in this way. Col Alfred Shorter is President of this company, and H. D. Cothran Secretary and Treasurer. STONEWALL IRON WORKS. The Stonewall Iron Works are lo cated four miles below Etna, on tho same lino of railway. This company own 8,000 acres of land and have the finest ore property, as to location and extent, that has been fouud. There is a bold stream of water running through it, and the endless quantity of charcoal timber. Their ore beds stretch along Hurricane creek for two miles, affording uumerous eligible sites for furnaces and operative tenements. The construction of these works is going rapidly forward, and it is be lieved that by adopting all tho mod ern and well tested improvements in furnaces, and avoiding the errors of the past, they will, ill a few months, be able to manuf&ctrue iron at a cheaper rate than any company in world. Their present capital stock is $75,000, with the privilege of increas ing it to $1,000,000. Capt. H. D. Cothran is President, aud Wm. Wurts the Superintendent. This gentleman is also the Superin tendent. This gentleman is also the Superintendent of the Etna. He is a Kentuckian, of large cxpereuce and excellent capacity for managing such enterprises. The stockholders arc:— W. E. Jackson, Augusta, 125 shares; Geo. M. Thew, Augusta, 75 shares; Amandsa W. Jones, Augusta, 30 shares; Cothran & Maguire, Rome, 150 shares; Alfred Shorter, Rome, 50 shares; G. W. Nagle, Rome, 15 shares, F. I Stone & Cos., Rome, 50 shares; J. M. Selkirk, Rome, 20 shares; H. M. Smith, (Trustee) Romo, 10 shares; Wm. Wurts, Rome, 50 shares; J. & S. Bones & Cos., Rome 50 shares; W. S. Cothran, Rome, 25 sbaree; D. Adams, Rome, 30 shares; J. T. Burns, Romo, 20 shares. Between Etna and Stonewall, Messrs. William F. Mason and Noble Bros. & Cos. have recently purchased a very valuable iron property, with 3,000 acres of timber land attached. Mr. Mason as a capitalist of New Orleans, aud designs making Rome his perma nent residence at au early day. This company expect to prepare then works for a stone coal furnace, and will begiu the work of construction at once. The largest enterprise of all that have been projected is located at Ce dar Town, twenty-two miles distant from Rome. This property includes several beds of ore and 12,000 acres of land. The company consists of our esteemed townsman, Capt. Archie Griffith, and A. G. West and W. G. Browning, of New York. The last named is a millionaire, and of nation al reputation as a successful financier. The company is stocked at $169,000, and their works are upon the line of the North and South Railroad, which will soon be completed from Rome to Cedar Town. The iron property of Mr. A. J. King, near Cave Spring, is very valuable ) but has not yet gone into the hands of a company. Liberal offers have been mode Mr. King by Pennsylvania capi talists, but as yet no transfer has !>eeu made. It will not long remain unde veloped. The Cornwall Iron Works are situ ated iu Cherokee county, Ala., twenty eight miles w«» 4of Rome. This is au old established company, owning an extensive deposit of red fossiliiferous ore, which eels 65 pel cent, outside of all waste. This company is now do ing better than ever before, yielding sixty tons per week of very superior iron. Tli Tredegar Company of Richmond is their principal customer. The Memphis Branch Railroad will soon be completed t<« these works, which will render them much more valuable ou account of saving in ir ais iiortation. Col. W. S. Cothran is President, and Ttios. McCullough is Secretary' and Treasurer. The «.api t and stock is SIOO,OOO. The IT >und Mountain Iron Works lie upou the banks of the Coosa, a few miles U low Cornwall, and embraces the same valuable fossiliiferous ore.— It 1-. a mountain of ore, and can sup ply one bundled furnaces witi.o it niakiiig any seisms impression upon it. Tiie old works at this point were burned during the war, >ud have nev er t*een rebuilt. Capt. James M. Elliott, of this chy, is the principal owner of this splendid property, and is negotiating for a pai\- nership that will begiu the work of re construction. Outside of the limit named we will Lit re mention the Woodstock Iron Company ut Oxford, Ala. We include it in our list because it is a Rome en terprise. Messrs. Noble Brotheis A Cos., of this city, and Oeu. Ty ler A 8oo«, of Charleston, being the owners. It is stocked at $75,000 The Bartow Iron Works are owned by Messrs. McNitl, F. I. Stone and Charles R. Stone. This company is stocked at $60,000, and is in success ful operation, making a return of eight tons per day. Messrs. Pool, Dodd & Cos., have re cently purchased a valuable property, thirteen mile3 distaut from Rome, on the Etowah river, and will erect a fur nace as soon as practicable. Messrs. Rogers A Leyden are erect ing a furnace at Limekiln, near Car tersville, iu Bartow county. Their stack is up and tho machinery iu place. Iu tho same county we have Pool’s old furnace, J. D. Thomas’ furnace and Stiles A Meister’s furnace, all sit uated ou Stamp creek. We have now enumerated twelve iron enterprises in operation or pro jected. Five of these are iu operation, yielding forty tons per day. All of them will be iu operation within six mouths, and tho probable yield will be 120 tons per day, or over $2,000,000 per auuum iu the value of products, and giving employment to more than 1,000 men. At present rates tho net profits from these twelve furnaces will not be less than $1,000,000 per an num. This is but the beginning of this great work of developing the iron in terest of Cherokee Georgia and Ala bama. When such returns as Etna makes are certified to Northern capi talists, and the fear of rebels and Ku Klux shall have subsided, the rush for this property will be continuous. Scarcely u train arrives now that does not bring to our city some of the least timid of those iron workers. They are generally a solid, substantial class of men, and it is not difficult to spot them as they walk around our streets. We give them a cordial welcome, and will go security that our people are glad to see them, aud will shake hands across the bloody chasm. Some Husbands. —Some husbauds never leave home iu tli6 morning without kissing their wives aud bid ding them “good-bye,” iu the toues of unwearied love, and whether it be policy or fact, it has the effect of fact, aud those homes are generally pleas ant ones, provided always, that the wives are appreciative, and welcome the discipline in a kindly spirit. We know an old gentleman who lived with his wife over fifty years, and uever left home without the kiss aud the “good bye.” Some husbands will leave home without saying anything ut all, but turu round at the last point of observation and wave an adieu.— Some never say a ward, rising from the breakfast table aud going out with a heartless disregard of those left behiud. Their wives seek sympa thy elsewhere. Some husbands never leave home without some unkind look or word, thinking that such a course will keep thiugs straight in their ab sence. Then, on returning, some husbands come home pleasaut and happy, unsoured by the world; some sulky and surly with its disappoint ments. Some are called away every evening; some doze away in speechless stupidity until bed time. “Depend upon it,” says Dr. Spooner, “that home is the happiest where kindness, and interest, aud politeness, and at tention are the rule on the part of husbands.” Choosing a Profession. —A lady of birth, and leader of fashion—aye, and of intellect, too—had three sons. The fond mother, anxious to “teach the young idea,” gathered these precious nestlings round her on the sofa oue holiday, and explained that her for tune was small, and died with her, and that these three noble boys of hers would have to undertake noble work— in fact, they would have to go out iu to the world, as their father had done, and win their way. “Yes, mamma, yes,” cried the earnest little fellows, fully comprehending the mother’s plan. Her eyes glistened as she listened to their willing goodness. Visions of one as a general, auother as a judge, a third as a bishop, swam before her. “Well, my darlings,” she said, “you are good boys to be so willing to work. What would yon like to be ?” The young voices, without a pause, without a moment’s hesitation, full of Claude Duval and Sylvanus Cobb, cried out, with one accord: “Highwaymen, mammal” Fun at Home. —Dont be afraid of a little fun at home, good people.- Don’t shut up your house lest the sun should fade your carpets; and your hearts lest a good hearty laugh should shake dowu the plastering. If you want to ruin your sons, let them think that all mirth aud social enjoy ment must be left on the threshold without, when they come home at night. When once a home is regard ed as a place only to eat, drink and sleep in, the work is begun that ends in gambling houses and reckless deg radations. Young people must have fun and relaxation somewhere; if they do not find it at their own hearth stones, it will be sought in other and less profitable places. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 14, 187*. From the Rome Commercial. BILL ARP ON THE COLLAPSE. As the poet sed ‘the agony is over.’ Them cards in the sleeve would hav beat any honest hand. Bes-i-des, as Thoinp. Allen would say, we play ed badly. Baltimore Convention, and O’Connor and a limited supply of votes has beat us. Well, we still live. I’m not going to bed about it. Old Gretly ain’t no kin to me. Grant ain’t neither, and thats wlints the matter. I talked for Greely and writ for him and voted for him, but I nev er diJ have a hankering after him.— it made such an everlastin fuss iu my family I had like to run away. You see Mrs. Arp wasent rekonsiled. She were a strait, and when she aiut rek onsiled things aiut as plassid as a Giver lake around my house. I dont mean that times is hot or desperate, but to say the least of it they are pe kttliar. A mar likes to hav his bed aud his board sereen. Dont lie ? So you see my wife was a strait it dident become me to be very crooked. And I went—at home. Shes a good omau ■md she’l endure every thing and never grunt nor groan, but she wont com [> worth a cent. I told her I had no pertikh r use for Greely and th.A lie was a darned old infatyated humbug, but that our paper belonged to tlie great un terry fide, unsatisfide, traiismorgrifide Democratic party and must keep iuto hue. She sed sum re marks about papers lyin by the day and by the week aud übout seif res pect and independence and the like, aud I grew meek like Moses in a few minutes. The fact is I’m a meek man. I’ve laid awake of nights a ruminatiu how meek I was. Mrs. Arp thinks tho paper ought ; to take “truth” for a motto and work j up to it. I told her it would be a dangerous experiment, but she says it has never been tried yet. If I was uot afreed ttie little Arps would per ish to doth durin the experiment I would try it. Old Shank says we cant be worsted for he has tried lyin for 20 years and it wont pay. He s iys it would beau episode in the press, a kurosity, something like a elephant or an eklipse or John Roby sou’s circus. He says sometimes a paper sukseeds by lyin, like the New York Herald and the Tribune and Forney’s paper, but it has to be well backed. The Herald has got so now it can quit party and set back in a cheer and tell the truth in its old age; like an old spekulator who has made a fortune by cheatin and lyin and then puts his money in stocks and re tires. He says that political papers lie from 90 per cent, down to 10 and that Forney is the only editor who ever went full up to a 100 and kept it there. Well, now that Grant has got iu, I dont see any necessity for running the Commercial at a high pressure.— If all the lyin issues aint dead, they are past doctorin. Now is a good time to go to developin the country. We can raise children aud chick us by the 1,000 in 4 years. Some of our folks is a tellin around Imw the country could have been saved, and all that. Old Shank thinks he knows, but be don’t. He’s a good fellow, old Shank is. He don’t go around, but jest tells me privately, and asks me to say nothing about it, which I don’t. But I heard one feller a goin, it, and he said, “Gentlemen, if the people of the South had hav taken iny advice, this kalamity wouldent have happened. I talked to cm, and preached to em, but you might as w’ell hav tried to stop a Gawtamaller hurricane with a thimble full of sul phuretted hydrogen gas.’’ Well, I don’t like his sort nor his gas. It don’t do any good. The thing has happened—the dog is ded. Grant aint agoin to take away our bred corn nor tobaker. As for a few little post offices and tax collektors, I dident care anything about em. Them whats got em needs em, I reken, and its took a power of low down hard work to get em. We’ve got all the State offices from Gov. Smith down to the bottom, and I’m satisfied. Hurrah for old Geor gy! Bill Arp. P. S.—l remarked to-day in a crowd: “We are a nation of thieves,” and an offis holder slipped up to me and whispered, “Call no names, Bill, call no names.” Thar3 something wrong about that man. B. A. THE PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF JESUS. To the Emroß of the Chronicle : Ou Sunday last Rev. Dr. Newman de livered a discourse upon the humani ty of Jesus Christ, iu which he stated that nothing had been handed down to us iu regard to his personal ap pearance, many different views being entertained on that subject. Eaclos ed you w’ill find a letter written by Publius Lentulus, President of Judea, and sent by him to the Senate of Rome, when the name Jesus began to be spread abroad in the world. These are his words: “There lives at this time iu Judea a mau of singular virtue, whose name is Jesus Christ, whom the barbarians esteem a prophet, but his own follow ers adore him as the offspring of the immortal God. He calls back the dead from their graves and heals all sorts of diseases with a word or a touch. He is tall and well shaped, of an amicable, reverend aspect. — His hair of a color that can hardly be matched, falling into graceful curls below his ears, and very agreeably touching on his shoulders, parted on the crown of the head like the Naza rite. “His forehead is smooth and large; his cheeks without other spot save that of a lovely red; his nose and mouth formed with exquisite symme try; his beard thick and of a color suitable to the hair of his head, reach ing an iuch below his chin and part ing in the middle like a fork; his eyes bright, clear and serene. He rebukes witu majesty, counsels with mildness; his whole address, whether in word or deed being elegant and grave. No man has seen him laugh, but he has wept frequently. He is very temper ate, modest aud wise; a mao, for his excellent beauty aud divine perfection surpassing the children of men.” France’s Offer of a Loan to Eng lanc. —Wonderful people, the French! Last Friday President Thiers offered to deposit in the Bank of England, as a loaa, his surplus of four millions of pounds sterling, which the Bauk of England declined. Os course it was for political effect, but the wonder is that France should have such a sur plus. It speaks volumes for the pat riotism of the French people. During the baptismal ceremonies of a lot of colored people in Memphis the other day, one old lady, after she got out. exclaimed, in ecstacy, “Bress de Lord, that is five times I’se been baptized, bresa de Lord.” WOMEN AND DOGS. One day last winter, just as it was drawing toward dark, I found myself near the entrance of a famous dry goods store. Out of it in all the pomp of silk and velvet and marvelous lace, a lady came, carrying in her arms a bundle swathed in softest cashmere. I thought at first it was a baby. I beg the babies’ pardon. It was a dog. There were only a few steps to her carriage do >r, but ere she reached it a woman came hastily forward and said something to her which I did not hear. My lady withdrew herself haughtily, aud augrily shut the door of the carriage after her. The wo man scarcely looked like a beggar, and my curiosity was aroused. I had seeu the imploring look answered by the indignant one; I had heard the rapid, passionate tones answered by the slammed door, aud I was weaving my own hypothesis, when the woman turned rapidly round aud faced me. A strange, wild, pitiful look—such a look as women haunted by sorrow and perplexing griefs wear. Our eyes i met, and a meutal telegraphy assured her I had been watching. “You saw, then,’’ she said. “Yes, I saw.” “Look here!” And she uncovered a three-weeks old baby—a baby with the most uubaby-like face I ever saw. It was thin and wrinkled, aud looked as if it had passed through years of anguish. “It has a soul they say, aud the ! Lord Jesus died for it, and the wo man with the dog in her arms—my God!’’ and she turned from me with a gesture of such sublime scorn aud despair as would have brought the house down if it had been in a thea ter, and acting instead of reality. And evei since I have thought of the two women aud the sorrow-laced baby aud the pamoered dog. And so I have come to remember how com mon a thiug it is to see women, whose bosoms should be for children to ues tie iu, and whose arms are nature’s arks for helpless infancy, carrying dogs. Women whom God intended to nurse angels aud train heroes, car rying dogs! Women whom God meant for daughters of consolation and sis ters of charity, carrying dogs! We are not called upou to judge these women higher than they judge themselves, but we do say that the love and cherishing care of a God made woman are too holy by far to be “given unto dogs;” especially when there are bodies and souls for which Christ died, perishing for lack of them. Mothers whose children look down on you over “the golden bar of heav en,” is there nothing holier to fill their vacant places? Can the snarling, slavering beast who answers your ca resses by licking your hand, in any way compensate for the encircling arms, tho sweet, warm kisses, the ba by words, the looks of love from eyes w’.iieu iiuw always behold the face of "the Father whicLi is in heaven?” Go rather into the houses of want and sin. You will find babies dying as yours died. Hold them in your arms till the angels come for them, or lift some bright, loving child out of the misery and want in which it dies daily. It may be God will spare it to grow up and call you “blessed.” And as to those wives to whom God has given no children of their own, their duty is manifest. Somewhere in pain and starvation and ignorance their children are waiting for them.— All day long they stretch out their lean hands and watch with hungry oyes for your comiug. Dou’t go shop ping again until you have found them. Some will go to heaven, and when you fail, “receive you into everlasting habitations.” And some will be left to weep over your grave and write be neath your name, “A wife who had no children, but whom many children regretted.” And for those women who have nei ther husband nor child, here is the duty which is better than all the “rights” in the world. Let them see how many children they can save, so may be brought to pass the triumyh of the prophets, and “the children of the desolate be more than the children of the married.— [Mrs. A. E. Barr in Golden Age. HANGING GARDENS OF BABY LON. One of the greatest wonders con nected with the ancient city of Baby lon was the construhtion of the fa mous hanging gardens. Nebuchad nezzar, the king, presented these gar dens to his wife, Amytis, who being a native of Media, which was a hilly country, was anxious to see something in Babylon resembling the mountains in her native land. These gardens contained a square of more than four hundred feet on each side, and were carried up, in the manner of several large terraces, one above another, till the height equalled that of the walls of the city. The ascent from terrace to terrace was by stairs ten feet wide. The whole pile was sustained by vast arches raised on other arches, one above another, and strengthened by a wall surrounding it On every side, twenty feet in thickness. On the top of the arches were laid largo flat stones. Over these a quantity of weeds, mixed with bitumen, on which were rows of bricks closely cemented together. The whole was covered with thick sheets of lead, on which lay the soil of the garden. The earth was so deep that large trees could take root and grow iu it. The trees which the kiDg planted were of vari ous kinds, generally such as were not native in Babylon, but which grew in Media. At a distance, this whole at tificial mound appeared like an im mense hill covered with forest trees. The whole structure must have been some three hundred feet in height. — From its summit a fine view was af forded of the city and the country around for many miles. The differ ent terraces contained fountains, seats, and bauquet rooms; and the whole extent was adorned with flow ers and foliage. Be Courteous. —Dr. Humphrey was once seated iu a stage-coach, when a gentleman and lady, ou their bridal tour, wished to be accommodated with seats inside. There being but one vacant seat, the newly married pair were subjected to a separation, unless some passenger relinquished his place. This, no one seemed dis posed to do, when the Doctor mount ed the outside, insisting upon the gentleman occupying his seat with his bride. Subsequently the Doctor was collecting funds for the College over which he presided, and was pre sented with a handsome donation from the stranger he had met in the stage-coach, with the remark that he knew nothing of Dr. Humphrey, or Amherst College, save that its presi dent was a gerUleman. POETRY. THE YOUHB WIDOW. The following poetry suits that charming class, called “young widows’ exactly. Our limited experienc in the affairs of the heart demonstrates to us that to successfully court a maiden you must woo aud fret her, but when you court a widow you must off with your coat, np with your sleeves and at | her: She is modest, she is beautiful; Free and easy, but not bold— Like aa apple, ripe and mellow, Not too young, and not too old, Half inviting, half repulsive, Now advancing and now shy; There is mischief in her dimple, There is danger iu her eye. She has studied human nature, She is schooled in all her arts, She has taken her diploma As the mistress of all h. arts, She can tell the very moment When to sigh and when to smile; Oh! a maid is sometimes charming, But a widow, all the while. You are sad. How very serious Will her handsome face become; Are you angry? she is wretched, Lonely, friendless, tearful, dumb, Are you mirthful ? how her laughter, Silver-sounding, will ring out: She can lure, and catch, and play you, I As the angler does the trout. All old bachelors of forty, Who have grown so bold aud wise, Ye Adonises of twenty, With your love looks in your eyes, You may practice all the lessons Taught by Cupid since the fall, But I know a little widow Who can fool und win you all. OUT AFTER DARK. Thu waning moon was up; the stars Were faint, and very few; Tho vines about the window-sill Were wet with falling dew; A little cloud before the wind Was drifting down the west; I heard the moaning of the sea In its unquiet rest; Until, I know uot from whit grief Or thought of other years, The hand I leaned upon was cold, And wet with falling tears. From the Mount Sterling (Ky.) Sentinel.] A CAMPAIGN STORY. How the Radical Candidate for Congress in the ninth district chang ed his color. How the story got out we can’t tell, who originated it we don’t know, but we do know it is too devilish good to keep. Here is what “they say:”— “Dick” Wood, the Radical candidate fer Congress in this district, while cauvassing iu the mountains the oth er day, was compelled at one point to imbibe a good deal of the “apple-jack” in order to convince the natives that fie was not one of those “high-flyers” who think themselves made of super ior stuff to the “honest aud hardy yeomanry.” The consequence was that Dick, after giving orders to be woke up at three o’clock in the morn ing iu order that he might be able to reach a distant appointment the next day—when he retired to rest, was, in five minutes after he lay down, “as good as a dead man.” Some scamps procured some lamp black, which they mixed with water, and, entering his sleeping apartment, thoroughly blackened his face, to “make him look something like his politics,’’ as they assured the landlord. Next morning, promptly, he w r as aroused at three o’clock, and was in such a hurry to be off that he did not take time to wash, but bolted his breakfast aud rode away at a brisk gait. Arrived at his destination, he hunted up a prominent Radical, to whom he bad a letter of introduction, and presen ted his credentials. The gentleman read the letter, alternating the read ing with glances at Dick’s face, and then asked: “Are you Major Wood, of Mt. Sterling ?” “That’s my name, sir,” replied Dick. “Why, I thought you was a white mau,” said the other. Greatly astonished, Dick blurted out, “Aud so I am!” “Well, you have a very black skin for a white man!” “What the deucedoyou mean?” said Dick, angrily. “Do you want to in sult me?” “No, sir. But you had better not attempt to speak here to-day. Our boys wont stand a speech from a nig ger!” “A nigger!” cried Dick. “Why, there ain’t a drop of nigger blood in my veins. I’m as white as you or any other man.” Seeing a looking-glass on the wall Dick stepped up and looked in it. — Starting back with an oath that fair ly made the windows rattle he ex claimed : “Well, if them fools over at ville haven’t waked up the wrong man, and Wood ri over there yet!” Jerking off his hat, he dropped in to a chair and began vigorously to fan himself. The other, seeing his strait hair, and noticing that the back of the neck appeared to be white, smelled a large sized mice, and sug gested soap and water. The process of washing his face revealed to Dick the trick that had been played on him. Mortified beyond measure, he made the gentleman pledge himself to secrecy, saying that he would not have it get out for the world, for if Adams (bis opponent) got hold of it, he (Dick) would uever bear the last of it. How it finally got out we have no idea, but suppose Dick’s friend must have told the joke to his wife. Have yon a temper? There are some very simple rules by which you may control it. One of these is, whenever you are greatly disturbed and excited, to speak slowly aud iu a low voice. As soou as you shall have controlled yourself, under circumstan ces of provocation, sufficiently to speak several words without raising your voice above its ordinary pitch, you will find that you have obtained a surprising mastery over your feelings. A few days since, one of our popu lar attorneys called upon another member of the profession and asked his opinion upon a certain point of law. The lawyer to whom tue ques tion was addressed drew himself up and said, “I generally get paid for telling what I know.” The question er thereupon drew a half-dollar “frac tional” from his pocket, handed it to the other, and coolly remarked: “Tell me all you know and give me the change.” There is coolness *between the parties now.

Beware of all Counterfeits and Imitations REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA, ETC. CASE OF COL. J. C. BRANSON. Kingston, Georgia. September 15,1872. Doctor J. S. Pembertor,: Dear Sir—lt gives me pleasure to furnish you with at account of tho reinai'kable cure whi jh I have experienced from tho use of your Compound Extract of Stillingia. For sixteen "ears 1 have been a great sufferer from Scrofula in its most distressing forms, i have been confined to my room and bed for fifteen years with scrofulous ulcerations. Such was my condition—far more painful and distressing than language can describe. Most of the time I was unable to rise from bed. The most approved remedies for such cases had been used, amt the most eminent physicians consulted, without any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, distressed desponding, I was advised by Doctor Aver, of Floyd county, Georgia, to commence the use of your Compound Extract of Stillingia. Language is insufficient to describe the relief I obtained from the use of the Stillingia as it is to convey an adequate idea of the intensity of my suffering belore using your medicine; sufficient to say, “I am cured of all pain,” of all disease, with nothing to obstruct the activo pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any return of tho disease. For the above statement I refer to any gentleman in Bartow eountv, Georgia, ami to the members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, sir, with the deepest gratitude, Your obedient servant, J.C. BRANSON. August 15,1872—1 m. Wonderful Inprovement.
