Perhaps you don’t know why you
didn’t get that postal card you were
expecting. “Tons of postal cards
without any address are destroyed
in the dead letter office, because peo
ple write their message first, and
then forget to address the card.”
One of the London papers boldly
denounces the conduct of Queen
Victoria in ignoring the presence in

itor and relative by marriage to shift
for herself.
“What the deuce is a garter any
way ?” inquires the editor of the In
dianapolis Sentinel. A garter, young
man ? This ignorance is deplorable.
Why, a garter is a ribbon or shoe

with.— Ckms.
In 1878 the California fish commis
sioners placed seven lobsters, all that
remained of a hundred shipped from
New York thither, in the bay ofSan
Francisco, and now the bay is repor

which promise to furnish a bountiful
supply for future consumption.
A Chattanooga capitalist recently
purchased for $25,000 a bit of land on
the side of the Lookout Mountain,
thirty miles long by one mile wide,
containing inexhaustible beds of the
finest iron ore in the world. For
this tract an English company has
since offered him one million of dol
lars which was refused.
There is reason to believe that the
recent interview between Bismarck
and Gortschakoff resulted in the re
moval of their personal difficulties;
also in the adoption of a common po
licy by Russia and Germany in con
sequence of which the foimer will
speedily recognize the present gov
ernment of Spain, Russia’s previous
refusal to do so having been owing
to Gortschakoff’s personal influence.
Robinson Crusoe’s Island, in the
south Pacific ocean, is now peopled
by a Germon colony of about 70 souls,
who landed upon its shores in 1862.
On their arrival they found large
floefcp of goats, 30 half-wild horses,
about 60 asses and a number of other
domestic animals. They brought
with them cows, hogs, fowl, farming
utensils, small boats and fishing
tackle.
The Stokm King.—The storm of
last Sunday night, seems to have per
vaded many sections of the country.
But its greatest force seems to have
been spent in and near Tuseuinbia,
Alabama. Advices from there say
that about oue-haif of the towns was
destroyed, and twelve persons killed
and a number wounded. The May
or of Tuscumbia has appealed to
neighboring towns for help.—New
ttan Herald
The Bethlehem (Pa.) Progress
says: Mrs’ Carroll and Mrs. Ford,
twin sisters, living in South Bethle
hem, each gave birth to twins on
Saturday night. The attending phy
sician says these cousins are almost
of an age—within an hour. These
sisters were married on the same
day; their first children were born in
the same month, the second in the
same week, and their third in the
same hour.
A gentleman, a long resident in
Mexico, says that a good way to
manage a horse that will not be shod,
ia to take a cord the size of a common
bedcord, put it into the mouth of the
horse like a bit and tie it tightly on
the animal’s head, passing his left
ar under the string, not painfully
tight, but tight enough to keep the
ear down and the cord in its place.
This done pat the horse gently on
the side of the head and command
him to follow. It subdues any horse,
and he becomes a gently and obedi
ent as a dog.
A robbery was perpetrated on the
23d ult. at the farm-house of Jos.
Breed, five miles from Titusville
Pa. Four masked men demanded
entrance to the house, which was
peremptorily refused by Mr. Breed,
whereupon they burst the door open,
and seizing Mr. Breed, tied him with
a rope to the lounge. They asked
him where his money was concealed,
and he said he had none. They then
put his feet in the fire to compel him
to disgorge, which was of no avail, as
he had little or no money in the
house. Upon searching his pockets
they took between S3O and S4O, and
then ransacked the house, after which
they made their escape.
The Griffin Messenger , of Nov.
24th., says: It grieves us deeply to
state that Col. Nunnally died, at his
residence, in this place, af
ternoon. This announcement will
earry the same deep grief to the
hearts of bund reds of our readers, and
thousands of the people of this State.
He was a long sufferer from a com
plication of diseases, and his death
was not unexpected- Histalentsand
manliness commanded respect; his
frankness and generosity made him
friends, and his kindness and virtue
endeared him to all who knew him
as veil, as we did*
POLITICS AND RELIGION.
Mr. Gladstone, ex-Premier of Eng
land, and Archbishop Manning,
whose controversy in regard to Pa
pal infallibility is now being discussed
in the English papers, are both the
sons of London merchants, the for
mer of Sir John Gladstone, and .the
latter of William Manning, head of
the firm of Manning Anderson,
which still exists in London. Both,
when youths, were educated at Ox
ford University, and were intimate
friends. Both were distinguished
scholars, and were noted in college
for their gravity and strength of
character. Manning became an An
geliean clergyman, and Gladstone
entered the field of politics, but their
friendship continued, and when
Gladstone’s eldest son was born Man
ning was its “god-father” in baptism.
Manning afterwards changed his
ecclesiastical connections, and is now
Archbishop of Westminster, and
head of the Roman Catholic Church
in England. It is said that he has
converted several of the nobility to
his own sentiments, and that a sister
of Mr. Gladstone is among his earliest
converts, and has endowed his Arch
bishopric with a thousand pounds a
year.
Parisians have of late been express
ing considerable dissatisfaction be
cause the statue of Nopoleon 1., their
beloved Petit Caporal, has not as yet
been set up in its place on the top of
the restored column in the Place
Vendome. M. de Chennevieres re
cently wrote to the Figaro on the
subject stating that he was not in any
way responsible, as some correspon
dent had implied, for the delay. It
appears that the National Assembly
voted a sum for the restoration of the
column, which was evidently meant
to be applied to the whole work,
statue as well as has reliefs; but
when the statue came to be examin
ed it was found to have suffered so
much injury that it was deemed ne
cessary to recast it. Fortunately the
model of half life-size was still in the
atelier of the sculptor, M. Dumont,
and its recasting would not, one
would have imagined, have been a
matter of great difficulty. It has
been made so, however, and a sup
plementary grant has had to be vo
ted by the National Assemply for the
work.
We are pleased to see that a “Sleep
ing Car Company” has been organ
ized in Atlanta, and that they will
commence work upon their cars on
the Ist of January next. Mr. Charles
G. Lucas appears to be the principal
mover in this matter, and we see that
he is to associate with him such men
as Campbell Wallace, B. W. Wrenn,
L. P. Grant, and other prominent
railroad men. We feel assured that
this company will prosper, and we
are much pleased to see that our own
people have taken the matter in
hand. We see no reason why our
home roads should be dependent up
on outside companies for their sleep
ing cars. The Lucas car has several
important improvements upon the
old Pullman car.
The first meet of the Rufford
hounds in England, on Nov. 3, at
Rufford Abbey, the seat of Mr. Hen
ry Savile, was marked by a melan
choly incident, which threw a gloom
over the field. Col. Lushington, as
he was in the act of taking off his
hat to a lady, suddenly fell dead from
his saddle. He was riding at a foot
pace at the time, and his daughter
was by his side. Medical assistance
was procured at once, but in vain.
Death had resulted immediately from
heart disease. The hounds were at
once sent home after this sad event,
and hunting was suspended for the
week.
Old Bald Mountain, in North Caro
lina, is at his tricks again. A day or
two subsequent to the election, he
had five of his heaviest shakes lelt
since last winter. They were in
quick succession and felt for five or
six miles in extent. An exchange
suggests that the old hill was rejoic
ing over the late Democratic vieto
ries. ___
Rex, the King of Fun, has issued
his Proclamation to his subjects in
and around Atlanta. He announces
his intention of visiting Atlanta on
the next Twelfth Night, the sth of
January, 1875.
The Crimean cemeteries in which
are laid the remains of the British
warriors who fell in the Crimean war
have gone to wreck and ruin very
speedily. A commission wasappoin
ted some time ago to investigate their
condition and report. This they did,
and it was found that $25,000 would
repair all the damage that time had
wrought. The report was laid away
and has not been acted upon. The
ruins had been so far looked to that
an obelisk to the memory of the
Royal Artillery, which was broken
in the middle, was repaired. But,
as the broken portion was so replaced
that the north face had been turned
to the south, and a glowing eulogy,
commenced in English terminated
in Russian verse, the restoration is
of doubtful value. Considering the
insignificance of the amount needed
to repair the cemeteries, it would
seem that ingratitude is not the ex
clusive patent of republics.
Now is the time for re-planting
trees. We hope that many will be
set out in the city this season. Aside
from the grateful shade, the roots of
tress remove decaying matter from
the ground. Plantsgive out oxygen,
and the multiplication of trees,
shrubs and plants increase the vol
ume of oxygen, which is the vital
principle of the air, vitiates the car
bonic acid, and adds to the salubrity
of every street in which they grow.
In fact, fruit and shade trees and
plants, in a town cause purer air, bet
ter water and richer soil.
The Cost of War to France.—
A clever statist in Paris has summed
up the pecuniary results to France of
the late war with Germany as fol
lows: War indemnity, 5,000,000,-
000 francs; interest on the same for
two years, 300,000,000 francs; the
keep of the German troops, 227,581,
000 francs; value of objects taken
without requisitions, 554,172,000
francs; war contributions levied on
Paris, 200,000,000 francs; and so on
till the account forms a total of
6,673,11,000 francs (£566,952,440).
But this enormous sum is exclusive
of pensions to the army, the damage
done to material, and the expenses of
reorganization, which swell the total
to 13,000,000,000 francs (£520,000,-
000,000). The average value of a
day’s work in France is one france
and a quarter; and thus it would
take one milion of men thirty years
to work it out.
In view of the Artie Expedition to
be fitted out by the British Govern
ment. Lady Franklin renews her
offer of a reward of £IO,OOO for the
recovery of the official records of Six
John Frajfclin’s Expedition,
WORTH KNOWING.
We frequently read in the papers
ofsomeonewho has stuck a rusty
nail in his foot, or knee or hand, or
some other portion of his body, and
that lockjaw has resulted therefrom,
of which the patient died. If every
person in the world was aware of a
perfect remedy for all such wounds,
and would apply it then such reports
must cease. But although we can
give the remedy, we cannot enforce
the application. Some will not em
ploy it because they think it too sim
ple ; others have no faith in it when
they read it, while others often think
such a wound of small account and
not worth fussing over, until it is too
late to do any good. Yet all such
wounds can be healed without such
fatal consequences as follow them.
The remedy is simple, almost always
at hand, and can be applied by any
one, and what is better, is infallible.
It is simply to smoke such wouud, or
any wound or bruise that is inflamed,
with burning wool or woolen cloth.
Twenty minutes in the smoke of
wool, will take the pain out of the
worst wound, and repeated once or
twice will allay the worst case of
inflamation arising from a wound
we ever saw. People may sneer at
this old woman’s remedy as much as
they please, but when they are afflic
ted, just let them try it. It has sav
ed many lives and much pain, and is
worthy to be printed in letters of gold
and put in every home.
SOUTHERN STATE DEBTS.
A dispatch from Richmond Va.,
reports the progress made by the
agent of European bondholders a
new funding of the debts of a number
of our Southern States. It is stated
that the Governors of the States of
Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama,
South Carolina, North Carolina, and
Virginia have agreed to recommend
the plan of refunding proposed by the
European agent. That plan is an
extension. It is merely to substitute
new bonds, having thirty years to
run, for the bonds now held, secur
ing them by a sinking fund, and giv
ing the bondholders the right and
means of enforcing payment. We
doubt whether several of the Govern
ors named have really agreed to this
plan. The Governor of Alabama
has not, as we feel well assured.
The dispatch states the Governor of
Georgia rejected the proposition, and
adds that Georgia will be “let severe
ly alone” by the bondholders. Con
sidering that Georgia is not in ar
rears for either principal or interest
on her acknowledged debt, this is al
together gratuitous and will not cre
ate any great alarm.— Columbus En
quirer.
Gen. Beauregard on the Elec
tions.—Gen. Beauregard, in a re
cent letter to a friend in New York,
says:
“Before answering your letter al
low me to congratulate you, and
through you the great State of New
York, for the gallant manner in
which you have come to the rescue
of Republican institutions, for the
fate of which I was calmly apprehen
hensive. As to old Massachusetts,
we are astonished and delighted, be
yond expression, at her grand rally
to the cause of freedom. Her peo
ple have shown themselves worthy
descendants of heroes of the “tea
party” and of Bunker Hill. May
they never flag in their determina
tion to rid the country of unworthy
public servants. It will be a blessing
to the North as well as to the South,
that our evils have at last been un
derstood. With good government,
the South, reviving as a great pro
ducing and consuming country,;will
revive also the benumbed industry
and trade of the North. Let us
have true peace, and with it prosper
ity.”
A Queer Duel—Fighting in
the Dark.— A rather mysterious af
fair occurred a few nights ago in the
Louisville Medical College building,
corner of Fifth aDd Green streets.—
Two of the students have been pay
ing attention to the same young lady,
who lives but a stone’s throw from
the College, and they got into a
quarrel with each other about her.—
It was at last proposed that each take
a pistol and fight a duel in a dark
room in the college building. So the
pistols were selected, seconds chos
en, and the party, when no one was
in the house at night, entered a room
and locking the door behind them,
prepared for the encounter.
The light was extinguished, and,
at a proper distance from each other'
at the word, each fired. The gas was
lit, and an investigation only proved
that the powder and balls had been
wasted. The light was again extin
guished, and again at the word the
pistols were again discharged. This
time one of the duellists was found
slightly wounded in the left arm.—
The honor of the medical gentleman
having been thus satisfied, the two
became friendly again and shook
bands with each other.
Edwin Forrest never received a
higher compliment than that once
unintentionally paid him by one of
those much abused but necessary les
ser lights of the dramatic firmament,
a “super.” It was at a rehearsel of
“Richelieu,” andthegreat tragedian,
whose uncertain temper made him
the terror of bunglers, was standing
in the wings with folded arms and
frowning brows, watching the pro
gress of the piece, when it fell to the
lot of the “super” to enter and an
nounce, “His Eminence, the Cardin
al Duke de Richelieu.” Shambling
on to the stage with the indescrib
able slouce of his kind, the “super”
drawled outbids lines, and was going
off when Forrest, striding forward in
his most majestic manner thundered,
“No, sirrah, no! That is not the
proper manner in which to announce
the Cardinal. Look you, sirrah—en
ter thus: Assume your position
thus, and then announce, ‘His Emi
nence, the Ca-a-rdinal Duke de E-r
--richlieu-u!’ thus. Cannot you do
that, sirrah? “ No, I can’t” drawl
ed the “super.” “Ef I cud I wouldn’t
be a playin here fur six dollars a
week.”
Tn£ Air-Line Railroad Case.
Judge Hopkins yesterday appoint
ed Col. L. P. Grant receiver of that
portion of the Atlanta and Rich
mond Air-Line Railroad lying in
the State of Georgia. The receiv
er is to take charge as soon as the
bond of $50,000 is made and accep
ted.
The receiver, after paying all run
ning expenses, to hold the balance of
all receipts subject to the order of the
Superior court. All wages now due,
and those falling due to be paid out
of the receipts of the road.
The feeling in regard to the ap
pointment is good, and it seems to be
satisfactory to all concerned. Col.
Grant decided late last evening to ac
cept the position and will take
charge of the road at an early date.
Atlanta News.
We give for what it is worth a
rumor that the counsel engaged
by Beecher, Tilton, et a ?., have
decided to withdraw from the va
rious libel suits on the ground that
they would involve private matters
not'fit to be made public. It is not
possible that the eminent legal gen
tlemen mentioned in our dispatches
are such fools as to think that it is in
their power to save the reputation of
both Beecher and Tilton. One of
them must be pilloried for a rascal,
or the people will never be content.—
Chicago 'Tribune.
The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes
a table, showing that the South, be
fore the war, contributed more than
one-third to the maintenance of
foreign trade. The Enquirer rightly
concludes that the prevalence of
contentment and order in the South
L essential to Northern interests.
Mr. Stevens is elected to Congress
from Arizona by over 100 majority.
Anecdote of Napoleon Bona
parte.—When this daring and am
bitious soldier was about to invade
Russia, a person who had endeavor
ed to dissuade him from his purpose,
finding he could not prevail, quoted
to him this proverb, “Man proposes
but God disposes,” to which he re
plied indignantly, “I dispose, as well
as propose.” A Christian woman,
on hearing the impious boast, re
marked, “I set that down as the
turning point of Bonaparte’s fortunes.
God will not suffer a creature with
impunity thus to usurp his preroga
tive.” It happened to Bonaparte
just as was predicted. His invasion
of Russia was the commencement of
his downfall.
Colored Convention.— We learn
from the Atlanta papers that certain
leaders of the negroes have called
a convention to meet in that city at
an early day to take into considera
tion the subject of emigration west
ward.
It is a little singular that while the
“ bone and sinew” of the colored
people—the working men—seem to
be very well satisfied with their con
dition in Georgia, and have accumu
lated six or seven millions’ worth of
property—the politicians of that race
—those who live by other men’s la
bor and have an easy time—are
greatly distressed, and believe that
emigration is the only remedy.

EDITORB STANDARD AND EXPRESS.—In 01J
communication oi the 30th Oct., I said, “and
that as soon as they ( Radicals ) found that the
negro had the same interest as the white van

changes my meaning entirely. Ido not think
the egr# will ever have the same intellect as
the white man, as a class.
Last week 1 attended the Fifth Annual Fair
of the So*th Georgia Agricultural and Me
chanical Association, held at the Fair Grounds
a little orer one mile from the Court House.
It is aid that the display was not so long as
usual, but as good, so far as to merit. I never
saw so large sweet potatoes before, or such a
display of flowers. I saw a few as large hogs
as I ever saw at a fair, though very little at
tentioa is paid to this braach of stock rais
ing, owing to the vast amount stolen by ne“
groes. The stock of cows, Ac., was quite pod
ia comparison to the up country; and yet this
is a much batteijcountry for them, as grass lasts
so nearly all the year round. I do not know the
weight of cabbage and beets this year, but last
year cabbage weighed as high as tweaty-three
pounds, aad beets sixteen pounds. These beats
will beat your eleven pound beat. The people
in attendance compared very favorably wiiti
Atlanta, as to appearance. As the Tall season
sts la people appear more active, and have a
more healthy appearance. It is indeed de
lightful to live here at this season. ..There have
been three or four frosts this season and no
more. It is as pleasant as the latter part of
April now. Corn is seventy five cents per
bushel, can* syrup sixty cents per gallon,
sweet potatoes sixty t# eighty eents per bushel.
Itev. T. M. Harris, of the Christian Church
from Atlanta, commenced on last Sabbath and
has preached every night since. He has organ
ized a church in this place, with six members
of the best citizens, and will have a monthly
appointment hereafter. He first preached to
preve the divinity ol the Old Scriptures, then
the New Scriptures. Next, he teok the old and
new to establish tiie divinity of Christ. His next
work was to show the covenant withfthe Jews,
as set forth in the Old Testament, and to estab
lish their church. Next, he spoke of Christ’s
covenant with the Christian Church, aad said
he wished all to come hack aad join him in es
tablishing; a Christian Charch in Thomasville.
The faliillmeat of the prohecies as shown by
him, was indeed interesting. He said there was
one place, wfoich foretold ol the Spiritualists,
and read it,but did not say where it was. Frem
the reading, and his explanations, he made it
appear as plain as the nose on a maa’s face. He
says it come* from the evil oae, aud that there
is no gaod ia it. He is entirely opposed to the
whole free love arrangements. While the
speaker asked sinners to turn from their evil
wars and join him, his greateit object ap
peared tp be to get other church members to
come back, as he said, and join him in building
up on# Christian Church. It is, of course, an
open question.as to whether the church formed
by Alexander Campbell within the last centurv
is any more a Christian church than those
which existed before or not. It is true that the
name is appropriate, and I think and hope
good will he done in the cause of religion, for
there appears to be a dearth now in religious
matters.
