PUBLISHED WEEKLY. Vol. XiV. \ \ I XTRACT FROM A LETTER KKOM EX-GOV. JENKINS. Augusta, Ga., July 18,1873. // Kxceftency James M. Smith: Ii au Si K— 1 have received through Hon. Jos. B. Gumming your com munication of the 21st ultimo, ac riirnpanied by a copy of the resolu iof the General Assembly of Georgia, referring to myself, approv al August 22,1872, and a beautifully designed and executed far simile seal of the Executive Department prepar ed and presented as therein provided. It is probably within the experi ence of every man who has attained the age of three score years, that there are occasions when language is found wholly inadequate to express the emotions of the heart. Thus it cer tainly is with meat this time. Doubt lcs> the highest reward of official fi delity is the answer of a good con •'•icnce. It is only in the court whence that answer proceeds that intention can be thoroughly scrutinized and motive reduced to Its last analysis and accurately weighed; which is, alter all, the crucial test of merit.— I he spirit of man is never gladdened by the plaudits of admiring multi tudes, nor yet by the encomiums of j the wise and good against which eon. science whispers her solemn though unpublished protest. Hut it is no less true, that the hu man heart craves public recognition 11 Conscious rectitude. And when to the approval of the inward monitor and judge, public opinion, with full knowledge of facts, after calm delib eration, snperadds its affirmatory de cisions a judgment is rendered from which in the awards of time there lies no appeal. The circumstances surrounding the Executive at the time referred to in the resolutions, were peculiar and embarrassing. History furnishes no precedent to be consulted. Law gives no clew to be followed, for although the Congressional rescripts which threw order into Chaos, had been pro nounced unconstitutional by the Fed eral Executive, the Federal Judiciary refused to restrain the desperate law lessness that persisted in their en- j lorceincnt. Thus environed and dai ly encountering difficulties requiring solution, my duty demanded careful abstinence from any imprudence, tending unnecessarily to complicate still further the unhappy relations I existing between the (State and Fed-' eral Governments on the one hand,! and on the other studious avoidance of any act having the semblance of lowering the dignity of Georgia, or ] of acquiescence in the usurpation of her rightful prerogatives. Far from assuming that no Georgian in iny po sition could have done more for the State than was done, 1 have a serene consciousness that more could not have been accomplished by me. Between my ejection from office and the passage of the resolutions now before me, there was an interval exceeding four years, during which Georgia was denied self-government her voice silenced —her interest and her honor confided to the hands of j strangers, who neither understood I the one, nor regarded the other. Os the former they made sad havoc, but j in, trilling with the latter, whose spir itual essence they could not debase, j they signally wrought out their own dishonor. All this while the intelli gence of Georgia, though circumscrib ed and shackled, was busy with the past, present and future. It never subscribed to error—never repudiated truth- never succumbed to power; and when next the ballot-box was opened, it rose up undaunted, assert ed its supremacy and re-entered its legislative, executive and judicial chambers. It was just in this renascent epoch of Georgia’s history that the General Assembly passed in review my exec utive services, and you, sir, have placed before me the result. The preamble and resolutions have made lor me, in the archives of the State, a record I had not hoped to merit, but trust never to dishonor. — Themedal, having engraved thereon a sac simile of the seal of the Execu tive Department, once intrusted to me with words of donation from the State of Georgia and a legend embo dying the spirit of the resolutions, I proudly accept as a memorial poses "ion for life, and a testimonial ticket j for all time, in itself a thing of j beauty, wrought by the skillful hand of the artisan, in the most precious | and imperishable metal of nature, it ha:- for me a value derived neither from nature nor art —a moral signiti canee imparted by the flat of a noble '‘onslituency —a popular sovereignty . I would not exchange it for Star or barter, or other badge of knight hood—nor yet for Lightest patent of nobility ever bestowed by King up on subject. In view of the high positions in each department of their government in which my fellow--citizens have heretofore placed me, and of this un ique testimonial, I may truly say that the measure of my ambition is full to overflowing; and that through the same channel of communication my heart, sends back to the State of Georgia, measure for measure, a swelling tide of filial gratitude and devotion. Would to God I had remaining enough of life and vigor to do more for her. But having nearly tilled my span of three score years and ten in the retirement of my quiet home, it is a cheering reflection that the noble Common wealth numbers not by scores only, but by hundreds, sons younger, more vigorous, and no less devoted, who will achieve for her a larger material prosperity, a grander Civilisation, and a higher renown than she has yet enjoyed. I am prompted, by both inclina tion aud a sense of duty, to refer in this connection to certain most wor thy gentlemen, in close official associ ation with me, and who shared the re sponsibilities, triuls and perils of the time. 1 allude to Messrs. John Jones, Treasurer; Nathau C. Barnett, Secre tary of State, and John T. Burns, Cojnpfrollpr-Genej’al* Thpse officers were not appointees of the Execu tive’s—they held offices created by the Conttitution, and were elected by the Legislature. Although to a con siderable extent subordinated to the Executive, they were yet so far in dependent in their several positions, that had they, in the then deranged s tate of affairs, refused co-operation, they might have materially thwart 'd his plans, subjecting the State to 1( «s, and secured to themselves pres ent emolument. But fully according wuh him in opinion and feeling, 'bey distinctly refused to recognize STANDARD ANDSEXPRESS. the authority of his (so-called) suc cessor, who lacked the first essential qualification for the office —citizen ship of the State. Each thoroughly appreciated and faithfully performed his duty. The position of the Treas urer was the most exposed and peril l ous of all, biK-auso the Treasury was the objective point of the raid* To carry into effect promptly and suc cessfully Executive directions for ■ placing the funds of the State l beyond the reach of the raiders, and still to j confront them in their rage was noth ing less than the exhibition of moral heroism. Two of these faithfu lpub- I lie servants, the Treasurer and Comp troller, were actually placed under arrest, though soon admitted to pa role. The latter, while restrained of his personal liberty, was by the just appreciation of his parole returned as | their Senator at the first election af ter these events, and sat there a pa- | roled Federal prisoner, fearlessly per forming the duties of a State Senator. Having served to the end of his term, he is now in voluntary and honored retirement. The other two, Messrs. Jones and Barnett, on the first occa sion presented, have been severally restored to, and now honorably fill ; the offices from which they had been ' ejected. Thus lias Georgia vindlcat ed their integrity, rewarded their fi delity, and exhibited to the world a striking proof that Republics are not always ungrateful. I refer to these officials, not because there were no others animated by the like spirit and making like sacrifices: but because of their intimate official * associations withtne, and simultane-1 ous removal from office. [Correspondence of Telegraph & Messenger.] SCOURING DAY. Deliver us from scouring days. We have long harbored the suspi cion that they were a nuisance—a moderate-size nuisance. Scouring day is the meanest day of the week —so mean that almanac makers to tally ignore it, and make no men tion of it in their illustrated cata logues of days. Somehow or other i the very day set apart for house- j wives turns out to be a rainy one, i and no genuine housewife will allow | herself to be balked in any under- i taking, even by rain. Rain, hail or thunder, the scouring goes forward, and when you come home to dinner, bringing some friend to whom you j have just talked yourself dry in j brushing and polishing up your wife’s reputation as the neatest house keeper in the country, and when the front door opened you stand aghast at the spectacle. Os course, you apologise, hut the apology is strangled in its birth, for you have slipped up anti your head feels somewhat heavy from its con tact with a couple of bureaus and a wardrobe or so that are lying arnund loose in con melon worse conrounded. However, your friend,.who happens to be married man, accepts the mis carried apology and smiles pensively at your catastrophe. But he also comes to grief. He attempts to as sist you iu rising to your feet, when lie overturns the pan oflye-soap and brushes off a toilet set or so from the bureau into the tub. Os course, the toilet set has no better sense than to break, and you note down another item with * which to reduce your “pile” on Saturday night. You lean over the tub and endeavor to fish out the fragments, hut the watered floor interferes with your search, and once more your feet commence a vigorous endeavor to reach the ceil ing’ and your head strikes the other edge of the tub and —headache again, confound it! By this time, the neatest house keeper in the country—she of your bosom —appearing on the scene, asks. “What in the name of common sense is the matter!” You rise to explain, coldly introduce your friend, and express your unfeigned regret at finding the house in such a condition. She throws an apology towards you and leaves to borrow something for a dinner. Your friend’s estimation of your wife’s housekeeping propensities is shaken, and her appearance in last year’s bombazine tucked up and making a bustle that extends all the way around her waist; the half-stocking ed feet encased in her husband’s cast away boots and unkept hair, and a scowl on her face, reminds him of— home! You and your friend thread the way through piles of furniture, rolls of carpet and bedding to the only dry room in the house. Your wife hurries in and tries to extricate a chair that has become tangled up with a lot of other chairs in a cor ner, but your friend seats himself upon the end of a roll of carpet and you find consolation by balancing yourself upon the sharp edge of a barrel. Although your friend is positively certain that the carpet roll lsjust as good, if not better than a chair, a certain tack, w hich failed to be extracted when the carpet was taken up, is at the very same time insinuating itself into the fleshiest part of his body, unmindful of his attempts at easing himself upon oue side, An hour or so of dull conversation and intense misery to both host and guest, and then another apology is inflicted upon you with au invita tion to eat dinner. This meal is al ways served in the kitchen on scour ing days, and thither you proceed not without difficulty. The repast is not overly sumptu ous. The remnants of yesterday’s feaiite fire there, anxious to be dis posed of. You seat yourself upon the end of a washboard in order to accommodate your friend with the only spare chair. It is a dinner of appologies —more apology than din ner. Your neatest housekeeper in the country regrets so much that he should happen to drop in on scour ing day, but she is nevertheless so glad to see him, and do hope he will come again when scouring is not go ing on,' Bui your friend mentally swears he w r on’t. Dinner being over, you take your friend off to town and try to make things all right by smiles and more apologies. But they are lost upon him, aud he bids you good day in a silent way, and you go home that night tocateh one of those profound lectures which made Caudle famous, and for days afterwards you are fret ted nigh unto death at the loss of ra zor, tooth brush, private papers, etc., all lost on that abominable and ever to-be-dreaded scouring day. SAMUEL H. SMITH & COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. i O’CONNELL’S SPAT WITH MRS. MORAITY. It was at an Irish Court of Justice that Mr. O’Conell could be seen to greatest advantage. Every quality of the lawyer and the advocate he displayed. He showed research and perfect mastery of his profession, and he exhibited his own great innate qualities. Who that ever beheld him on the Munster Circuit, when he was in the height of his fame, but must have admired his prodigious versatility of formidable powers. His pathos was often admirable! his humor flowed without effort of art. What jokes he utterid—what sarcasms! How well lie worked his case through, never throwing away a chance, never relaxing his untiring energies. One of the drollest scenes of vitu peration that O’Connell ever figured in took place in the early part of his life. Not long after he was called to the bar, his character and peculiar talents received rapid recognition from all who were even casually ac- quainted with him. His talent for vituperative language was perceived, and by some he was, even in those days, considered matchless as a scold. There was, however, at that time in Dublin a certain woman, Biddy Moriarty, who had a huxter’s stall on one of the quays nearly opposite the Four Courts. She was a virago of the first order, very able with her fist, and still more formidable with her tongue. From one end of Dub lin to tiie other she was notorious for her powers of abuse, and even in the provinces Mrs. Moriaty’s lan guage was passed into currency. The dictionary of Dublin slang had been considerably enlarged by her, and her voluble impudence hud al most become proverbial. Some of O’Connell’s friends however, thought he could beat her in the use of her own w eapons. Os this, however, he himself had some doubts when he 1 had listened once or twice to some minor specimens of Billingsgate. It was mooted once w hether the young Kerry barrister, could encoun ter her, and someone of the compa ny (in O’Connell’s presence) rather | too freely ridiculed the idea of his j being able to meet the famous Mad- ame Moriaty. O’Connell never liked the idea of being put down and he professed his readiness to encounter her, and even hacked himself for the match. Bets were offered, and taken, and it was ; decided that the match should come ! ! off at once. The party adjourned to the huck ster’s stall, and there was the owner herself, superintending the sales of her small wares—a few loungers and ragged idlers were hanging round her stall—for Biddy was a “charac ter,” and, in her way, was one of the sights of Dublin. ovwvnon \vas very confident of success. lie had faiu au iug™u,uu plan for overcoming her, and with all I the anxiety of an ardent experimen talist, waited to put it into practice, j He resolved to open the attack. At I this time, O’Connell’s own party and the loungers about the place, formed and audience quite sufficient to j rouse Mrs. Moriaty, on public pro vocation, to a due exhibition of her j powers. O’Connell commenced the attack: “What’s the price of this walking- [ stick, Mrs. What’s-your-name?” “Moriaty, sir, is my name, and a good one it is; and what have you got to say ageu it? and one-and six pence’s the price of the stick. Troth, it’s cheap as dirt— so it is.” “One-and-sixpence for a walking stick; whew! why, you are no bet ter than an impostor, to ask eight pence for w r hat costs you two-pence.” “Twopence your grandmother!” replied Biddy ; “do you mean to say its cheating the people I am? Im poster, indeed!” “Aye, imposter; and it’s that I call you to your teeth,” rejoined O’Connell. “Come, cut your stick, you cantan kerous jackanapes.” “Keep a civil tongue in your head, you old diagonal!” cried O’Connell, calmly. “Stop your jaw T ANARUS, you pug-nosed badger; or by this and that,” cried Mrs. Moriaty, showing her list, “I’ll make you go qieker nur you come.” “Don’t be in a passion, my old ra dius-anger will only wrinkle your beauty.” “By the hocky, if you say another word of impudence, I’ll tan your dirty hide, you bastely common serupe; and sorry I’d be to soil my fist on your carcass.” “Whew, boys, what a passion old Biddy is in ! I protest as I’m a gen tleman.” “Jintleman! the likes of you a jin tleinan ! Whisha, by gar; that ban aglier. Why, you potato-faced pip pinsneezer, when did the likes of you pick ud enough Christian decen cy to hide your Kerry brogue?” “Easy now, easy now,” cried O’Connell with impertubable good humor, “Don’t choke yourself with fine language, you old whiskey drinking parallelogram.” “What’s that you call me, you murderin’ villain?” rqarfcd Mrs, Mo- riarty, stung into fury. “I call you a parallelogram,” an swered O’Connell, “and a Dublin judge and jury will say it 4 s lible to call you so.” Oh, tare-an-ouns! Oh, holy Bid dy ! that an honest woman like me should be called a parrybellygrums, you rascally gallows bird ; you cow ardly, sneazing, plate-licking blag gar and !” Oh, not you, indeed”’ retorted; O’Connell, “why, I suppose you’ll! deny that you keep a hypothenuse j in your house!” “It’s a lie for you, you dirty rob ber; I never had such a thing in my house, you swindling thief.” “Why, sure all the neighbors know very well that yon keep, not 1 only a hypothenuse, but you go out to walk with him every Sunday, you heartless old lieptogqrp’l ; “Oh, hear that, ye saints of glory I Oh, there’s bad language from a fellow that wants to pass lor a jintleman. May thedevil fly away with you, you mineher from Muns ter, and make celery sauce of your rotten limbs, you meanly mouth tub of garbage. “Ah, you can’t deny the charge, you miserable snbmultiple of a du plicate ratio.” “Go rinse your mouth in the Lif fey, you tinele-pitehey ; after all the bad words you speak it ought to be filthier than your face, you dirty i chicken of Beelzebub.” Cartersyille, Ga., August 7, 1873. “Rinse your own mouth, you wick ed-minded old polygon. Tothedev ii I pitch you, you* blustering inter section ofastinking superficies!” “You saucy tinker’s apprentice, if yon don’t cease your jaw I’ll ” But here she gasped for breath, un able to hawk up any more words, for the last volley of O’Connell had j nearly knocked the wind out of her. I “While I have a tongue I’ll abuse you, you most inimitable periphery. Look at her, boys! there she stands, a convicted perpendicular in petti coats? Ther’s contamination iu her circumference, and she trembles with guilt down to the extremities of her corollaries. Ah! you’re ; found out, you rectilinear antece dent, equiangular old hag! ’Tis with you the old one will fly away, i you poter-swiping similitude of the bisection ofa vortex.” Overwhelmed with this torrent of language, Mrs. Moriarty was si lenced. Catching up a saucepan, she was aiming it at O’Connell’s head, when he very prudently made a timely retreat. “You have won the wager, O’Con nell—here’s your bet,” cried the gen tleman who had proposed ths con test. O’Connell knew well the use of sound in vituperation, and having to deal with an ignorant scold, de termined to overcome her involubili ty, by useing all the high sounding words which occur in Euclid. With these and a few significant epithets, and a scoffing, impudent demeanor, he had, for once, imposed silence on Biddy Moriarty. A HEROIC AMERICAN STU DENT. A YOUNG KENTUCKIAN SAVES THE LIFE OF A YOUNG COUNTESS TWO THOUSAND AMAZED S P EOT A TO KS—TIIE IIE WARD OF TRUE COURAGE. At the gala regatta es the South German Boating Accociation at Marnheim, in Baden, on the 13th of j June, there took place an event which ' shed considerable lustre on American gallantry, and which ended in a most romantic manner. On the above mentioned day the hanks of the Rhine were lined with spectators, among which the South German ar istocracy was fully represented. Just as the crews of four boating societies were speeding past the last pillar of the new bridge, a thrilling spectacle attracted all eyes. A handsome young lady, most elegantly dressed, who had been leaning over the low railing of the bridge, suddenly lost her bal ance and fell into the water, which was at least seventy-five feet under neath. Two or three heartrending shrieks burst Horn the lipo of those standing near, and then the thousands of spectators, losing all interest iu the race, iuu&cu nun uuj^cn.ie for the result of this terrible accident. The poor young lady struck the wa ter heavily, and disappeared at once. ! The Rhine is at that place deep and rapid; and when the aged father of | the unfortunate lady, in a voice of i agonizing grief, offered a princely re ward to whosoever would save his j daughter, there was no response. All at once a tail young man, in I the costume of a German student, i and wearing the gold embroidered | cap of the Vandal Society, of Heidel berg, rushed to the left bank of the river, and plunged boldly into the i water —a leap of thirty feet. There was a loud shout of applause, and then again a pause of breathless si lence. All eyes were riveted on the gallant swimmer as he struggled a gainst the rapid current at the very spot where the young lady had dis appeared. He dived down. What a minute of suspense! But all at once a heavy burden fell from all those oppressed hearts. The swim mer emerged from the depth, and on his arm held the senseless body of the young lady. Another shout of applause rang the welkin. Now tw 7 o boats rowed rapidly toward the pair; for the young swimmer w 7 as visibly growing faint, and, when he with his fair burden was drawn into one of the boats, he sank down in utter ex haustion. When the boat reached the left bank, the young hero w r as at once the object of a fervent' ovation, while the young woman’s father took the latter in his arms, and carried her, still in an unconscious condition, into a carnage. The young hero was a Kentuckian, named Clarence Goodwin, alaw 7 stu dent at the University of Heidelberg. The oldest and most experienced fish ermen on the Rhine pi’onounced his exploit a truly heroic deed, and al ready on the following morning the Grand Duke of Baden conferred on ] young Goodwin, w T ho is only nine-1 teen years old, the large golden med- j al for deeds of conspicuous courage and devotion. But a still sw 7 eeter re ward awaited him. The young lady, whose life he had saved, and who, notwithstanding the terrible shock she had suffered, had soon revived, was the only daughter of the Count of Reigern, one of the wealthiest Soutteuerman noblemen. Her fa ther went himself to the savior of his daughter, and, after thanking him in the most touching manner, brought him to the young Countess. The lat ter thanked young Goodwin with tears in her eyes, and said that her life-long gratitude belonged to him. During the next few days the two were seen frequently together on the public promenade, and everybody in Mannheim believes that they are eu* gaged tq be married. Clarksville Tobacco Leaf’s ow 7 n re ply to a toast of the press : “Gentlemen the—the—the press— | the press—as I said, the press [cheers] I the mill, as I remarked, [laughter] the mill—and by the mill 1 mean the flouring mill—is the great civilizer and distributor of the staff of iffe,— The press and the niffl— the mill and [be pVesS“gentU*i«en [greatapplause} the mill and the press stand so to speak —stand in intimate juxtaposi tion, of which the mill sustains most intimate relations to the press, while both are productive of indiscriminate grinding.” [Great applause.] A Western publisher gave notice that he intended to expend fifty dol lars for the purpose o f getting up a new head for the paper. The next day one of his subscribers sent him the following note: “Don’t do it. Better keep the mon i ey and buy a new 7 head for the edi ! tor.” THE GEORGIA BONDS. Considerable indignation exists amonjy those persons who have been published as creditors for heavy amounts of the defaulting Georgia swindler, H. I. Kimball, whose fail ure occurred two years ago. Appli cation to several of those mentioned elicited the information that they were either not interested, or their interests were for less amounts. A member of a leading banking house, who is said to have been a creditor for a large amount, stated that he supposed the figures very exaggera ted in many of the cases. With res pect to his own house, the transaction was one of some years past, and had been liquidated by the sale of securi ties left as collateral against the loan. Henry Clews & Cos., who are men tioned as having los $1,000,000 by the failure, report that they were only interested t© the amountof SIOO,OOO, which they claim was amply secured by collaterals. A. G. Johns, Presi dent of the Fulton Bank, Brooklyn, when questioned by a reporter of the Tribune, indignantly denied the statement alleging that they had loaned money to Kimball. It was subsequently learned that the Fulton Bank had loaned the State of Geor gia, through Kimball, $35,000 in bonds issued by the State, to pay the Legislature in 1871 and 1872, which are held to be valid by the State au thorities. The report relative to the Brooklyn Savings Bank and Kimball is also denied. The bank has never loaned Kimball anything, and it has never held a Georgia bond. It is un derstood that the collaterals in nearly every instance were the Georgia bonds with which the market was at one time flooded.—[New York Trib une. Editorial Principles.— The fol lowing dialogue once occurred in an editor’s sanctum in England. A dis tinguished editor was in his study.— A long, thin and ghostly-visaged gentleman was announced. With athsmatic voice, but in a tone of civ ility, for otherwise the editor would have transfixed him with a fierce ■ paragraph the next morning, the stranger said : “Sir, your journal of yesterday con tained false information.” “Impossible, sir; but tell me to what you allude.” “You said that Mr. M— had been tried.” “True.” “Condemed.” “Very True.” “Hung.” “Most true.” “Now, sir, I am the gentleman himself.” “Impossible.” “I assure you it is a fact; and now I hope you will contradict what you have alleged.” “By no means, sir.” “What do you mean ? You are deranged.” it. v,r be so. sir. hut I will not. do “I will complain to a magistrate.” “As you please; hut I never re tract. The most that I can do for you is to announce that the rope broke, and that you are now in per fect health. 1 have my principles, sir ; I never deceive.” A SCENE FROM LIFE. A young man entered the bar-room of a village tavern, and called for a drink. “No,” said the landlord. “You have had too much already. You’ve had delirium tremens once, and I cannot sell you any more” He step ped aside to make room for a couple of young men whe had just ehtered, and the landlord waited upon them very politely. The other had stood by silent and sullen, and w 7 hen they had finished he walked up to the landlord ond thus addressed him : “Six years ago at their age, I stood where those young men now are. I was a man with fair prospects. Now 7 , at the age of twenty-eight, I am a wreck, body and mind. You led me to drink. In this room I formed the hahit that has been my ruin. Now sell me a few more glasses, and your work will be done! I will soon be out of the way ; there is no hope for me. But they can be saved; they may be men again. Do not sell ft to them. Sell it to me and let me die, and the world will be rid of me; but for heaven’s sake don’t sell any more to them.” , The landlord listened, pale and trembling. Setting down his'decan ter he exclaimed : “God helping me, that is the last drop I will ever sell to any one! He kept his word. &UITE ENOUGH MARRIED. An incident of crossing the plains in the early days was told by a clever lady at the breakfast table one morn ing in Frisco. A Dutchman and his wife had traveled West and arrived at Salt Lake, where they halted for a few weeks. The Mormons got around the old Dutchman and coaxed him to join their ranks. After retiring one night in their canvas cohered w 7 agon bed, the good Dutchman broke the matter to his better half, hinting to her that the Mormons told him he had better “stay, settle among dem, and get some more vives’. ’ ‘How ma ny vives you tinks you vants?’ asked Kathrina. The Dutchman thought “fife more vould make a half dozen already;” wdiereupon the old w 7 ife got down her bodice, and slipped from it w 7 hat the Dutchman called the “prestpoard, viuh vas made from Yiscoqwn hickory und vas very tough,” and she laid the hickory fierce and fast on the old man, who shuffled out of the wagon and fell in a ditch. The old man got up, said his “stomach it vas very cold, but his pack it vas very yarm.” His wife cried out, “How 7 many vives you tinks you vants now, old fool?” But the Dutchman felt and espiess | ed that one was enough Vatijorn ia , tetter* JUSTICES OF THE PEACE. A Justice of Peace married a couple in Florida some time since. It was the first time he ever did such a thing and he got mixed. He w'ound up by saying: “Suffer little children to come unto them.” The bride remarked : “Thank you, sir. John, let's go ; that is all we want.” Another one, having no book or form, told the couple to hold up their right hands, when he said: “You do swear that you are man and wife to the best of your skill and power, so help you God!” Professional aid Business Cards JOHN W.
