FIKE IN KINGSTON, Ga.
Kingston, April 25.--J. C. Ro
per’s sUiblts, near Kingston, were
completely doMroyed by fire this
morning at 1 o’clk. A large quanti
ty of corn, fodder, etc., a thresh
ing machine, farm utensils, and ten
horn'sumi mules, were burnt*! up.
Nothing was saved, and the loss
amoUuLs tu about £7,OUU. Avery
tin*- Million was burnt to death.
The lire was certainly the work of an
incendiary.
We barn that three of the elan of
ncgrot*-> implicated in burning the
above alabie, were bubacqueutiy ar
rested add b.ought to this city for
imprisonment in the county jail, but
the ring-leader knocked, down the
officer having him in charge and got
away, and is stiii at large. It is said
that they confessed to the burning,
and said that there was a clan of them,
in that neighborhood, banded togeth
er to burn and plunder for spoils.—
The whole country should be on the
lookout for the escaped ring-leader
and arch liend, as all are interested
in having the villain brought to jus
tice. This blow falls with withering
effects on Col. Roper ; and, the more
soat tins busy crop season of the year,
llis loss is also the loss of Bartow co.,
inasmuch as bis efforts were directed
to the improvement of stock, his two
line brood mares and his celebrated
stallion, “Bob Lee,” having all been
burned to death in the stable. Col.
It. lias the heartfelt sympathy of the
peophvthroughout_the county in this
sad misfortune.
TIIE CA RTERSVI LLE AN D
VAN WERT OR CHEROKEE
RAILROAD.
The Rock mart Reporter gives the
following interesting information
about this road:
We learn that at the annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Chero
k< e Railroad, on last Thursday, that
almost the whole stock of the com
pany was represented, for the first
time in several years; at least, since
the road troubles began.
Since li. I. Kimball left Georgia,
the stock held originally by M. A.
Cooper A Cos. has been unrepresented.
At this meeting the entire stock was
represented by Colonel John E.
Ward, as attorney for the commer
cial Warehouse Company of New
York city.
We understand that upon reorgan
ization, John Baird, DeLaMeter
and John E. Ward, of New York,
and Abda Johnson and Seaborn
Jones, of Georgia, were elected
Directors, and John Baird was made
President.
An assessment of t wenty per cent,
was levied upon the stock of the com
pany for the purpose of completing
the road broad gauge to this point at
the earliest possible day, which will
be a day of rejoicing to our people.

vVithout giving the signal to put on
brakes, shut oif the steam and left it
out of gear, lit* stepped off while
the train was still moving slo wiv, as
is customary, supposing the engine
would stop in a very short time, and
went into the hotel for supper in com
pany with the conductor and other
employees of the train. In a short
time and before they Lad done sup
per, they were surprised by the an
nouncement that the train had pass
ed through without making any stop
whatever. Astonished, and not
knowing how far it had proceeded,
they at once began a rapid pursuit,
following tile line of the railroad
track, but were soon overtaken by
the Cartersvilie accommodation and
taken on board. Arriving at Ac
worth, the lost locamotive was not to
be found, having passed through
that place without any demonstra
tions whatever, such as ringing the
bell or blowing the whistle. Pro
ceeding but a little futher, they hove
in sight oi the “‘iron horse” that had
just come to ft halt anti was resting
quietly. This whs about a mile above
Acworth. Ihe cause of this accident
is a- follows: “No signal was given
to put on brakes and consequently
none applied, and besides, the
throttle valve of the engine leaked,
and being on down grade began idov
ingaiid continued to gather strength
of motion until the pump had nearly
filled the engine with water, and a
rise in the grade was reached. Dur
ing this freak the engine run eleven
miles with but two persons on board,
and these were train bands in the
cab waiting for the signal to apply the
brakes, which was not given, and
without which they had no authori
ty to act. The conductor. Mr. Bass,
and the engineer, Mr. Burton, were,
both immediately discharged lor the
breach of duty committed m tailing
to give the signal.

BOOKS.
We commend to the notice of the
public, the review of the school series
of Morton A Cos., which appears be
low. The review is from Jhe pen of
our excellent friend, Miss Safford, I
tho accomplished and experienced j
principal of the Cartersvilie Female !
Seminary. No one is better calculat
ed to form a correct opinion of seho
| iastie works, and the very decided
! and warm approval which she gives
I of these publications is sufficient to
entitle them to publ.c favor and gen
j oral acceptance. From the examina
■ tion which we have given them, we
j heartily concur in the opinion of Miss
jpAi'FOKO, and commend them .to the
public generally, and to all teachers
and parents especially. Particularly
are the remarks in relation to the
Latin Grammar worthy of considera
tion. It h;is for a long tim ■ appeared
to us that alt the more modern Latin
and Greek Grammars were so eucuui
liered with learned and frequent and
extended notes, as to render it almost
impossible, that the beginner could
lie otherwise than utterly confounded
with the difficult mass which claims
his study. They appear to lie gotten
up to show rather the varied and mi
nute learning of the authors, than to
instruct the tunid and hesitating
youthful scholar, and are more prop
erly subjects of study for the already
tlnished grudutate, than for t.ie unin
formed young scholar. The work
here reviewed is free from this capi
tal and mischievous objection, and is
simple, plain and ol easy comprehen
sion, while it combines in itseii, at
the same time, great research and er
udition, with the most desirable sim
plicity. With works like these uni
orm'y t ii'jhl in all oar schools, in
stead of tiie thousand and one that
are offered for sale and the trade, a
material benefit would result to the
parents who have to buy, and the
children to be taught.
Our thanks are due to the active
and accomplished agent of the Com
pany, Mr. Putnam, for laying them
on our table, and we take pleasure in
predicting for them a very wide and
favorable sale, and circulation, and
general adoption in our school.
morton’s school series.
We have had placed in our hands
for examination several volumes ot
this series, published by J. P. llorton
&Cos., of Louisville, Ky.; whose es
tablishment has been long and favor
ably known through the Southern
and Western sections of this country.
Amongst th<; * volumes, we notice
a “First Book in Spelling and Read
ing,” which is beautifully gotten up
and illustrated. The ingenious com
bination of simple, easy words into
little stories to be used as reading les
sons in the very outset, is an agreea
ble feature, varying the monotony of
the old,— “It is on,” “Is it on,” “Go
up,” Ac.,—of the First Reader of our
childhood.
The lessons on the sounds of the
various letters, especially those for
drilling on the consonant-sounds, are
v<>ry uood. and will appreciatoil
bv every teacher WHO uTTuersiaiicio
the importance of cultivating a clear,
distinct enunciation by the youngest
.nm* i Auiiiiiaoty auapteii to the class
for which they are designed. The
sprightly stories are about child-life
and plays, with simple lessons of
right and wrong that can be under
stood by children, and so read with
proper life and .spirit. Exercises on
the vowel sounds are continued in
this volume, scattered at suitable in
tervals over its pages.
Next, we take up “First Lessons
in English ('ompqgition,” prepared
by the late Rev. John Bonnell; the
lamented President of Wesleyan Fe
male College, Macon. .This little work
is designed to give children an idea
of the primary rules of composition,
and conveys in the form of a plain,
terse, lively dialogue, the chief prin
ciples of this art. The subjects sug
gested for practice are very easy,
with simple questions to guide in the
analysis and treatment. Almost un
consciously, young students will learn
to express themselves clearly and cor
rectly, the temptation to become pla
giarists will be taken away, and the
word “Composition,” cease to tie the
bugbear whose very mention causes a
shudder of reluctance to run through
the childish mind.
Brun’s Latin Grammar, is evident
ly the work of a skilled teacher. The
arrangement is comprehensive and
logical, the pages free from the piles
of notes and linguistic quibbles which
' only serve to perplex a beginner,
practical, common-sense instruction
on all important points is given. The
Syntax is particularly clear and con
cise, yet it treats of every rule neces
sary to an undarstauding of the pld-
and structure of the Latin
uthguage, in the most simple and ex
act manner, omitting no point of im
portance.
The Prosody is also complete, in
its rules and applications.
i bis whole series, so far as exam
ined, seems to have been prepared
by persons thoroughly acquainted
v\ith the best systems of instruction,
and able to adapt them to the tastes
and capacities ot youths.
in typographical execution, in
beauty of illustration, and cheapness,
me volumes will compare favorably
with the books issued by any estab
lishment in the country.*

Professor Baird, United States Com
missioner of fish and fisheries, we see
it stated, has just dispatched Beth
Green and four attendants to Augus
ta, Georgia, for the purpose of com
mencing there the w 7 ork of shad
hatching, with a view of restocking
the Southern and Western waters. —
After the season closes at Augusta,
Mr. Green vviil proceed Northward
and continue his labors successively
at Newborn, Weldon, Fredericks
burg, Washington, and other locali
ties. A portion of the fish hatched
out, will be placed in the river at
each particular station, imd others
will be transmitted by rail to adja
cent waters, Loth on the Atlantic
coast and in the Mississippi valley,
ft is especially desirable that this
immediate region of the State shouid
share in this great benefit about to be
conferred upon large sections of the
‘•ourwry. It has already been practi
cally and satisfactorily demonstrated
that fish can be successfully grown in
this Waj, and we should not Rt any
effort go unused to become participa
tors In this wise and beneficial plan
of supplying our waters with this best
oi all fish. The idea has generally
prevailed that the white shad was
nm found iu any waters in Georgia,
West ot the Oemulgee, that river j
tftfcuuuy WJ to tto dividing Jdub to- j
tween the white and the hickory
shad which last prevail! West of
that stream, and therefore some have
thought that the white shad would
not multiply in any of the Western
waters. But within a few years past,
some fine white shad have been
caught in the Etowah river, at Col.
Tumlin’s mill, and at points below, j
and there can lie no reasonable doubt}
that the experiment would prove j
entirely successful if made in the wa
ters of the Cherokee region. If thik
could be done, the benefit which
would be conferred upon this portion
i of the State, would lie beyoud calcu
lation, and we earnestly invite im
mediate attention to this important
| subject. Especially we call upon Col.
! Lewis Tumlin and Mr. William
Rowland, who own river plantations
and fisheries, to oj»en immediate in
tercourse with Mr. Green, at Augus-
ta, and use every effort to accomplish
this most desirable object. These
, mtiemen own fisheries, and if the
scheme of propagating the white shad
should be applied to the Etowah riv
er, they would have a source of reve
nue for years to come, which would
render more valuable their beautiful
plantations, while, at the same time,
the whole region round about would
be vastly benefited. We have stur
geon, ait, trout, perch, drum, succors,
red horse, and other valuable fish, in
the Etowah, but no white shad of
any consequence. Again we make a
personal appeal to tnese gentlemen,
at once to interest themselves heartily
in this important enterprise, because
we are disposed to believe that if
they will do so, the purpose can be
accomplished, but it must be done at
once. We refer them to Mr. Green,
and his attendants, at Augusta, Geor
gia, and insist that they see to it be
fore he shall leave that city.

WHAT IS THE FASHION ?
Atanta, Ga., April 26th, 1873.
Jaunty, jockey, tawdry, tasty, ug
ly, pretty—all are in style. Every
tiling is the fashion—and en passant
that word style has slain its thou
sands. Nothing so commends itself
as to be incongruous, inharmonious
and objectionable. The sensational
in dress is the order of the day, and
outre and bazarre are in high favor.
Color runs riot, and profusion of or
nament has frowned out of counte
nance this primitive aphorism,
“beauty unadorned, adorned the
most.” Who so credulous as to sub
scribe to a falacy so palpable. There
never was a time when such latitude
has been allowed, and each woman is
endowed with the special preroga
tive to make her own taste sole arbi
tress of her toilette. In as much she
makes no infraction of the funda
mental law of the reigning queen.
She may array herself becomingly by
consulting what is adapted to her pe
culiar style, and not in blind obe
dience to the dictates of tyrant Fash
ion, adopting what her individuality
should rebel against. Loyalty should
not be carried so far as to become
treason to one’s sell, and the whims
of capricious Fashion should not be
allowed to meta m °rphose a pretty
sfioW: of
course if a certain s haile <sr color is
pronounced by imperial ukase as the
royal insignia, all
| process, fortified by the serene com
I aciousnesss of being ala mode— than
which no religion or philosophy can
be more consoling. A woman all
lines and angles, whose neck no art
ist would crave to copy, must certain
ly be blind to consequential damages
when she dresses her hair high, sur
mounting her cranium like a mina
ture fortress, throwing sharp features
out in bold relief in a manner that
would have been trying to a Venus
de Medicis. But then it is the
“style,” and what abominatious have
been perpetrated in that name. The
graceful sweep of drapery, the soft,
flowing folds once so pleasing, have
given way to startling absurdities,
and if not puffed up and paniered
you are nothing. (No crusade against
Jbasluon in her selection of newspa
pers—as they are kept on file.) Fine
plumage makes a handsome bird—an
adage trite but true. Still there
should be a limit to the decoration:
and no one should indulge in an
elaboration of display that beggars
fancy and wearies the eye. Strong
minded women, haughtily indifferent
to the minutiae of Fashion, may sub
limely dispense with ornament—ig
noring the pitiful aid (?) derived
therefrom by her weaker sisters.
Such a course of severe simplicity,
rigidly excluding the aid of orna
ment, is suicidal to their beauty, and
while studying address, should give
due attention to dress. ’Tis the fash
ion to be artificial. The fact is patent
—hence, no one is deceived, and one
has carte blnnc to all the arts and ap
pliances that reconstruct people, all
the amendments whereby they are
renovated and renewed. A “con
summation devoutly to be wished,”
when we are falling into the sere and
yellow 7 leaf, and Vanity has entered
protest and would stop proceedings,
or be indemnified for the ravages of
Time. Complexions are manufac
tured according to “style,” and cha
meleon-like hues are assumed, as fair
or dark the fancy be. What if Dame
Nature, in an ungracious mood, has
been chary of her charms, and done
one up in a manner suggestive of
parchment. That can be obviated
by buying your complexion from the
druggist—and radiant in pink and
White, graciously accept the advan
tage thus derived, aud make our best
salaam to the genius whose touch
transmutes to beauty, whose fascinat
ing spell is more potent than Lotos
or Lethe. What if like Caius Cassius
you are afflicted with a lean and hun
gry look, angles not at all in keeping
with Hogarth’s line of beamy ? you
may read by remedy those deficien
cies, by a judiciou> expenditure of a
little time and much money, with
some other ingredients known in the
modern aichymy, not as the elixir of
youth, but a pretty good counterfeit.
All oi which combine iu iorining a
tout ensemble complete, that would
defy the prying eyes of spiteful Mrs.
Grundy. “Life Is earnest.” Arcadia
and Utopia banished from this steru,
realistic age—and there are studios
more important than the puffs, frills
and frippery, whose only use is to
impart an awkward, overloaded air,
and laces and jewels—gewgaws for
j which so much money is expended,
so many lives wrecked, all of happi
ness and home comfort recklessly
squandered. To be considered fash
ionable is not the ultimatum of wo
man’s destiny. There are higher
aims and nobler purposes; and yet
how much of precious time is ex
pended in vain display, unsatisfying
as'Dead Bea fruit, and trifles too
small for one moment to command a
thought. Cultivation of mind in
sures simplicity and grace, and should
| studiously avoid, as a gross violation
! of taste and refinement, any thing so
; pronounced or startling as to chal
lenge attention. But the institution
j is anyient and respectable, and the
