ANTHONY AND THE WAG ES OF WORK ING-WOMEN. H. Anthony recoinnicn<l- the down trodden sisters to strike for higher wages tor home duties. The schedule suggested is so much for every baby V>ri». No greenbacks, no more population, no more boyn to carry on the streat enterprises of the age. The scales of prices for maternal duties will perhaps be as follows: Girl babies, |100; boy babies, $200; twin babies, $300; twins, both bovs, $400; trip let!., $000; triplets, all boys, sl,ooo'.— Exchange. The above has been going the rounds of the newspaper press. We should not be true to ourself if we failed to spit upon it and proclaim it an insult to every woman on the earth. We do not say, to every “wife and mother;” because that would imply that it was an insult to them because they are “wives and mothers;” but we say it is an insult to them because they are human be ings-and entitled to justice. We are not advocating “chivalry,” “tender devotion to woman” (Heaven’s last best gift to man,) and such despicable nonsense ; what we object to in the above is its injustice and its indecen cy. As to Susan B. Anthony, what ever may be said by the stupid, igno rant, “narrowminded blockhead,” who wrote the above paragraph, to gether with all of his associates and successors in the big corporation of noodledom, she is one of the foremost women of the age, a woman of intel lectual power, of pure and exalted character, a woman that will not die without having done somewhat for humanity. This woman, whom ev ery bigoted blockhead in the country feels at liberty to insult, has spent her life, not in pursuit of pleasure or selfish gain, but in earnest work to better the condition of her poor and unfortunate sisters. She says that working women are unjustly discrim inated against in the matter of wages; and that many of them are trodden down, and then starved or forced into houses of prostitution, because they are not paid enough for their labor to buy bread. Whether she speaks truth or falsehood let the following figures attest: In Philadelphia there are 1,515 teachers employed in the Public ►Schools; average salaries of male teachers per month, sllO 86; aver age salaries of female teachers per month, |34 36! In the State of Mas sachusetts there are in the Public Schools 12,077 teachers employed; av erage salaries of male teachers, $72 04; of female teachers, S2B 81; in the State of Michigan it is $47 71 to $24 55. “And yet,” says the Commissioner of Education, “the superiority of wo men as teachers has long been ac knowledged !” We also submit the following ex tract from the “REPORT OF THE MASSACHUSETTS BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS:” There are 30,000 women in and a round Boston who live by sewing.— The average wages do not exceed $2 75 per week; room rent costs not less than $2 00. They go to work at seven, alniost always without any warm breakfast. Work ends at sp. m., and many of the girls take work home with them; work not ceasing till midnight. One of our largest as well as kindest custom-work mer chant-tailors testified to a committee of inquiry, that few “machine girls” could work over two years without -• • uuu incy were ever after unfit for labor. In slopwork shops girls can seldom earn more than their room rent except*by overwork. In slack times their suf fering is extreme, girls having been known to work for weeks with only water and bread or crackers for food, and fortunate if able to procure an ounce of tea. Many have lived for weeks on five cents worth of stale bread per week while seeking work. The lodging-house keepers charge working-women higher rates than men, and many refuse to have them in their houses at any price. Hence they are often obliged to live and sleep in localities where they would be ashamed to let anyone know they ever went. T. TO THE FRIENDS OF THE OR PHAN. Mb. Editor: —lt was my pleas ure, during last Summer and Fall, to present the claims of the Orphan’s Home of the North Georgia Confer ence to many of the citizens living within the section through which your paper circulates. There were liberal responses—some in cash and some in subscriptions. A consider able amount on subscription was due Dec. 25tli, 1872, and with your per mission, 1 take this method of urg ing those who so kindly promised to aid in this noble benevolence, to make as prompt payment as possible. We have recently had a disastrous fire at the Home which resulted in the loss of all the kitchen utencils and table furniture, the building used for stove and dining room having been consumed. These will have to be replaced. Besides the Board of Trustees having decided to move from Norcross, have just concluded the purchase of a most eligible Home at Decatur, Ga. This will involve considerable outlay. We earnestly hope that the friends of the Orphans will rally promptly and liberally to our help. We, as a people are under solemn pledges that can never be redeemed, till the last Orphan of a deceased Confederate soldier has been provided for. Persons who have subscribed, living in or near Cartersville can re mit to me at this place, (Marietta, Ga.) or leave money or articles con tributed with Rev. John T. Norris. Those near Stilesboro with Mr. P. S. Shelman, and those near Canton at the store of McAfee & Morse. Allow me to say to your readers generally, and to the ladies particu larly, that we will gladly and grat fully accept contributions from any of them, whether they have hereto fore subscribed or not. Contributions in money, clothing, provisions or anything that can be used in house keeping or home living. All such contributioussentasabove directed will be duly acknowledged. W. F. Cook, Agent, Orphans Home. CONGRESS. This body re-assembled on Monday, the 6th, after the Christmas recess, j THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. Some few months ago a fire com pany was organized in Cartersville, and, from the demonstrations then made, everybody wasted to believe that, in a short time, such arrange ments would be perfected as would, in great measure, protect us against the dangers to which, in this relation, we are so very greatly exposed. No. thing, however, has been done, so far as we are informed, save the purchase of a few water buckets. Not a ladder or a hook, or an engine, or a cistern. Nothing whatever. Let any man but look around him and see the character of our buildings, and the very manifest danger that exists at almost every point of the business portion of the city, for the origin and spread of fire, and the almost inevita ble probability that, should it occur ? it might destroy that whole portion of the town, and he will agree with us that a very unpardonable neglect of city interests exists. Some time ago the Secretary of the Southern Mu tual Insurance Company was in this place on a tour of inspection, and told us then that Cartersville was the most unprotected and absolutely de fenceless town, in this respect, within his knowledge, in the State. Several fires have occurred within the last year, and but for Providence, we would have been completely destroy ed. What are we to do? Is this state of things to continue still? and shall another year begin, and day af ter day glide along, and nothing be done to give us some little assurance, at least, that we have some means of self-protection 'against such fearful emergencies. The absence of all pre parations against fire, not only en dangers property, and which may end in great loss to the owners, and the business of the city, but creates such a high rate of insurance as to increase rents to a very high figure, and at the same time prevents, very materially, the investment of capital. Capital is always timid, and a cau tious man would hesitate long, before he would place it where it might be lost in a night or a day, without any means of preserving it. The trade of the town, the growth of of the city, the security of proper ty, the lessening of rents, the lower ing of rates of insurance, and the sense of safety, all demand that this matter should at once receive the at tention of the proper authorities.— The cry of too much taxation in such matters is senseless and absurd, for in no particular could a more econom ical course be pursued, than at once to see to it, that, as far as possible, we may bid defiance to the devouring flames. We have frequently before called attention to this subject, and do hope that now, at the beginning of anew year, immediate steps will be taken in this all important mat ter. Green, White and Blue.— The English Republicans, not a very large party as yet, have taken a step in advance. They have invented anew tri-color. Not the red, white and blue of France—the “three bright colors, each divine,“ of which Byron sang: One tint was the sunbeam’s ilyes; One the blue depths of seraphs’ eyes; ‘rraniftmrdlh rldlianceof its light. but anew combination of green, white and blue, the idea being that the green will represent fertility, the white is to stand for purity, and the blue for the sky under which all men are equal. At any rate the British Republicans have got a flag. All they require more is a number of fellow-citizens to rally around it. A Sad Affair.— Mr Ivey, a resi dent of Hall county, liis wife and two children, started on Monday to see his nephew, Mr. Tapt, who lives in Banks county, and to spend the Christmas with him. When they ar rived near Homer they had to cross a creek that was very much swollen by reason ot the late rains. They were driving an ox team hitched to a, wagon, and in attempting to cross the creek the team lost their footing and were carried down stream. The parties were caught in the sluice and the entire family were washed over board and drowned. An old negro man who happened to be on the oppo site shore, but could afford them no relief, saw them go down. Mr. Ivey, Mrs. Ivey and both children were drowned —Atlanta Herald. An English writer says: “A good editor, or competent newspaper con ductor is like a general or a poet, born, not made. Exercise and expe rience give facility, but the qualifica tion is innate, or it is never manifest ed. On the London daily papers all the great historians, novelists, poets, essayists, and writers of travels, have been tried and nearly every one has failed. ‘I can,’ said the editor of the London Times, ‘find any number of men of genius to write for me, but very seldom find one man of com mon sense.’ Nearly all editors are of this description. A good editor seldom writes much for his paper; he reads, judges, selects, dictates, al ters, and combines; and to do all this well he has but little time for composition. To write Toi a paper is one thing, to edit a paper is another.” Homicide in Polk County—An unfortunate drunken broil, in which two young men, George Mobley and Frank McMeekin, were engaged last Friday evening, resulted in the shoot ing of McMeekin by Mobley, from the effects of which lie died the next day. The shooting was witnessed by Mr. and Mrs. T. G. W. McMeekin, the father and mother of the unfor tunate young man. The parties were perfectly friendly when the difficulty began, and the parents of McMeekin had been dining with those of Mob ley that day, and were on their return home when they encountered them on the road side, and upon stopping to prevail upon their son to go home with them Mobley, sprang into the woods and deliberately shot his vic tim down, and then made several efforts to shoot the father. Mobley es caped that night by fleeing to Ala bama. Parties are now in pursuit, and it is hoped that lie will be brought to justice. —Borne Courier. ♦ A dispatch from Liverpool says that four hundred and forty-nine per sons, including passengers, are said to have perished by marine disasters in the past ten days. Governor Caldwell, of North Caro lina, lias pardoned Kinchy Ann Ed wards, the only white woman ever in the Raleigh Penitentiary. Grace church caught fire from Bar num’s menagerie, and was totally destroyed. EDITORIAL VISIT. We had the pleasure last Thursday evening of a visit at our office from Rev. Samuel H. Smith, one of the editors of the Cartersville Standard and Express. Mr. Smith spent the Christmas with his brotherin-law, Col. John H. Rutherford, of Houston county. This was his first visit to our section, and he has gone home perfectly delighted with it. He pays a glowing tribute to the intelligence and refinement of the people around HayneviUe, and, doubtless, if he were a farmer instead of an editor he would purchase some of the rich lands in that part of Houston and go to making cotton. He is the second editor we have seen in this wire-grass region since our removal from Cartersville. We hope to see him again next Christ mas.—lla wkinsxille Dispatch. The first thing that attracted our attention upon entering Bro. Woods’ office was two huge gourds, the pro ducts of that mammoth viue of which he told us, some time since. One was a ten gallon-er in which he proposed to deposit his speerels , and the other one had a long, bugle neck which he purposes to convert into a horn, and ever, in the future, he wishes it un derstood, he will write under hisown inspiration and blow hisown horn. THE NATION’S SHAME. Forney’s Press is down on the Car pet-Baggers. After reviewing a por tion of their offences, it says: “These events, shameful to free in stitutions, and disgraceful to all con cerned, have sprung from causes which are now happily fading away. The political ad venturers who swarm ed like locusts upon the Southern communities at the close of the war, have fulfilled their mission and the day for their toleration is past. For years they were sustained by the Na tional Government and the voices of the North, because they were the conservators of the peace and the protectors of the negro. These duties are no longer necessary. Sectional animosities, prejudices against race, and disloyalty to the Union are be ing discarded by the Southern people if only to rid themselves of a rule that eats up their substance and de stroys their political liberty. The Warmouths and the Moseses may have foreseen this political revolu tion but it is no paliation of their ex cesses to say that they fought the bat tle for negro suffrage and civil rights. The day has come for their extinc tion. With it will disappear the an archy they have evoked. The Administration lias an ex tremely delicate task, but an impera tive duty to perform in this crisis. Now is the time for a comjflete and lasting reconciliation. It will not hazard Republican supremacy, but strengthen it, to crush out the rob bers who claim to lead its columns at the South.” BARNUM’S MENAGERIE BURNED AGAIN. New York, December 24.—Bar num’s museum and menagerie on Fourteenth street, near the Academy of Music, was burned this morning. The fire commenced about lour o’- clock a. m. In a half hour the entire building, though constructed of iron, was in ruins. The flames quickly spread to the buildings on either side. Grace Chapel, on the easterly side, was burned to the ground, and the Lawrence mansion, on the westerly side, was seriously damaged. The fire ran through the block to 13th street, destroying the carriage factory of Niver & Stevens and of F. Grote. The loss will amount to half a million dollars. Another account says the loss will reach a million dollars. na g h erieareaca^e«to l Tiie causf H»*» n**o unKiiown. The first locomotive steamed up in the United States in 1832. Since then the railroad development has gone on with wonderful rapidity, averag ing not less than 1,500 miles per an num. AVith each successive year the ratio increases. In 1870, 6,145 miles were completed, and in 1871,7,453, and during the present year still higher figures have probably been reached. The earnings of the railroads in 1851 were about $40,000,000; in 1861 about $475,000,000. With its disposition to grasp power, it is not to be wondered at that the Administration proposes to secure to itself the control of the rail roads. Did you ever! In a New Haven church, last Sunday, an old lady was standing upon the hot-air register in the middle aisle, when the thing gave way, and shuwas suddenly shot down into the Hue. She had sufficient pres ence of mind to hoist her umbrella and begin to sing the doxology; and when they pulled her out, her nervous system was so unstrung that she marched up to the front pew with her umbrella open and sat beneath its shelter during the entire service, while every now and then she would interrupt the sermon by shouting out fragments of the doxology until her mind became calmer. The Missouri Democrat assumes the responsibility of the following: A Bloomington, Illinois, gentle man, who arose about midnight, a few nights since, to prepare for a night trip to Chicago, was quite sur prised when daylight struck him, near the Garden City, to find that his shirt was one of that kind that are cut low and square across the chest, with embroidery, frills, &c. lie buttoned his coat up ttght, and was seen in a barber shop, an hour la ter, trying to trade a chemise for a shave. “ Tiie Situation in Cuba.— Recent dispatches show that, notwithstand ing: Spanish representationS to the contrary, fighting in Cuba is still go ing on—and that the rebels, so far from being a disorderly rabble, are under strict military discipline and organization. To subdue them, it is reasonable to suppose will require double the number of troops Spain has on the island. An editor in Victoria, Australia, says: “The people in this region have become so virtuous and well-behaved, that it is impossible for us to make an interesting daily paper. We hear that a ship load of convicts is on the way to our virtuous port, and we look for greater activity in our local news department as soon as its pas sengers shall get ashore.”. A Rochester Dutchman complained to the Mayor that if the boys didn’t stop going in swimming in the river where his daughters could see them, he would make trouble. “Ah! Mr. Scliermerhorn,” replied the Mayor, “if I remember rightly, your house is half a mile or more from the river.” “Yaw, datishso; but den, you see, my gals dey got spy glasses!” “Putty-eyed monster,” is what ap peared in the paper of a Tennessee editor, who wrote with respect, “pret ty aged minister.” The sons of the minister “interviewed” the editor, next morning, with a shot gun. Colonel James Gardner, of Augus ta, is mentioned as a successor to Gen eral Wright in Congress. The earnings of railroads in the United States in 1871 was $475,000,000, an increase of $435,000,000 since 1851.

C., January 7, 1873.—A dispatch has oeen received from London, which states that it is asserted there in American circles that it is the intention of President Grant to notify the Spanish govern ment of the Ultimatum of the Unit ed States, which is that Spain must conclude peace with the Cubans on the basis of the abolition of slavery or sell the Island of Cuba to the Uni ted States. The announcement, as might be expected, creates great ex citement here. INVESTIGATION OF THE STATE TROUBLES.

Could the entire crop of cotton be converted into yarns at the South, and shipped abroad in that form, it would add one hundred and fifty mil lions dollars annually te the wealth of this portion of the United States.— Foreign mills would adapt their ma chinery to working up yarns instead of the raw r cotton. If but one-quar ter of the crop could be thus conver ted it would be a great blessing to this country, and enable numbers of women and children who are now dependent on others to support them selves.—Savannah News. The Artist’s Love, by Mrs. Em ma D. E. N. South worth, printed from Mrs. South worth’s Manuscript, just written, and never before pub lished in any form whatever, and sto- j ust been*pubifohed by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Phila delphia, Pa. It were small praise to assert that “The Artist's Love” is the best story by far that has ever fal len from the pen of the industrious and gifted Mrs. South worth. Not lacking one whit in the thrilling in terest all ot her romances, it is a far more elaborate production than she has hitherto given the world. It breathes through out a fervid spirits of hope, fortitude, and thanks—just the story and senti ment suited for the blessed Christmas season. And we know of no way to make fresh, young hearts happier, and restore the bloom to aged cheeks, in the cheerful blaze of the yule log fire, than by the perusal of this ex quisite Christmas story, which is ad mirably supplemented by a generous collection of brief and interesting sketches by Mrs. Frances li. Baden, a sister of Mrs. Southworth. These brief narratives are each charming— all perfect little gems of prose fic tions —orient pearls at random strung. The Artist’s Love” is published in a large duodecimo volumn, uniform with Mrs. South worth’s other works, and sold by all Booksellers at $1.75 in cloth, or $1.50 in paper cover; or copies will be sent by mail, post-paid, by the publishers, T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia, Pa, on receipt of price. All of Mrs. Southworth’s thirty-five books are put up in a neat box, cloth, full gilt backs, &c. Price $61.25 for the complete sett. The Columbus Sun tells the follow ing on an Atlanta Adonis: “At an Atlanta Christmas party, a gorgeous young swell was observed by a yonng lady who was doing her prettiest to entertain him, to be rather melan choly, frequently sighing as if in great mental trouble. Sympathizing with him, she asked if he felt badly, to which he replied: ‘Yes, aw; I al ways feel badly when I take oil, aw.” Mrs. Maria Jourdan Westmoreland, of Atlanta, lme gono to New York to superintend the publication of her se cond novel, “Clifford Troup,“ a Geor gia story, in which the Honorable A.

Here the plan will work no further, for every man has to digest on his own personal responsibility.
