Distress in Germany.— I There is
a great deal of distress in the German
capital. The casual poor who sought

•noniVi amownted io 13,'834 men and
Ti 39 women.
A man in Wilmington, N.C., is thus
described by a young lady of the
same city : ‘Tie is so stingy that
whenever he smiles it is always at his
neighbor’s expense.”
It is the opinion of no less a person
than Gurritt Smith that the Civil
Rights bill will fail to become a law,
-and its failure will be the death of the
Republican party.
A pretty French woman won 500,,
000 francs at Baden-Baden from a
German nobleman, ard then contri
buted the entire amount to the French
debt.
An ovcr-reaching horse—one whose
hind feet are frequently hitting the for
ward shoes—should wear heavy shoes
forward and light ones behind. The
theory is, that the heavier hoof will be
thrown a little farther ahead at each
•step than the light one.
Bev. David Howard, a colored Meth
odist preacher, has been sentenced at
Wilmington, N. C., to five years im
prisonment in the State Prison for
stealing a flat boat load of tar from
Rock Springs wharf. It is said
that he is a victim of ‘tar heel’ ani
mosity to the colored race.
Last year Loudoun county, Virginia
gained about SI,OOO for the public
schools by the taxed imposed on dogs.
The total amount collected was $2,000
out of which SI,OOO was paid to the
owners of sheep which had been
slaughtered by dogs. This year the
c unity will hardly be so fortunate, as
already $1,400 for sheep killed have
been presented. Dogs are an expen
sive luxury both in city and country.

the police authorities, saying that he
had accidentally shot his mother, but
had not hurt her much. It was after

was intentional, being the result of a
quarrel, lie shot her four times, per

The King of Bravaria, who, as is
well known, very fond of music and
the ballet, and a constant attendant
at tiie theatres, met a one-armed sold
ier in Munich and entered into con
versation with him. The soldier an
swered abruptly, but apologized when
he lound whom he was addressing.
Tlow was it,’ asked the monarch,
that you did not know me?, Tlow
could I?’ asked the one-armed hero;
‘you never come to the army, and 1
never go to the theatre.’
A Cute Trick. —The saloon keepers
of Chicago, with an enterpise purely
Chicagoian, are organizing crusades
against themselves, solely with a
view to advertising their business.
In a large number of bar rooms Fri
day notices were posted that prayer
meetings would be held there by
women, at a given hour—The dotired
result of a large and thirsty crowd
was easily secured in this way. In one
saloon live hundred men gathered to
await the arrival of the praying bauds.
The customers of many other places
were thus increased. The women en
gaged in the movement must be dis
gusted to find that their zeal is used
to feed the flame they wished to
quench.
Louisiana Affairs. —General G. T-
Beauregard lias written a letter to
United States Senator Gordon, urg
ing the Democrats in Congress not to
stand upon the order of giving relief
to Louisiana in its distacss, but to ac
cept that plan which may be the most
effectual. While he believes in the
old Democratic doctrine of State rights
and non-interference in local affairs,
he thinks that the case of Louisiana is
exceptional; tiiat if it is not absolutely
without a Republican form ol gov
ernment, the form is so perverted that
Congressional interference cannot be
a precepent for future encioach
ments. lie sees no way out of the
difficulty but in anew election, and
in this he believes the people should
be protected by the United States
authority, as in the former election
they were overthrown with lhe ap
parent co-operation of the United
'tates officers.

sue of the 12th ult a communication J
over the non-de-plumo of Appling, tak- j
ing to task the different officials of ow j

foriunatc a; io number* among the

else but to express my r< grets that
this able correspondent—for jf I doubt
not I know him personally, and know 1
him to wield a vast influence wherever
he circulates—should thus endeavor
to mutilate we poor little insigniS

in other counties this l‘d-grbbing
business is matured, but in this c&unty
comparatively new, and that he had
hoped that Bullock’s dcDarture would
have put a stop to it, ere it reached
us. What a pity tiiat Bull-ox didn’t
carry \v*th him the rest of his herd,
for if he had, ihen the honest portion
of our citizens would have reason to‘
hope for better things, and your cor-’
respondet ‘Appling” have known noth

the so-called ex Governors company

it no:, perhaps expected of me or some
other among that class of our citizens
who may not/be so'unfortunate as to
know the general character and stand
ing of your correspondent “Appling,”
and will saj T nothing further than
merely sufficient to let him know that
I know who he is, and by way of
close congratulation in behalf of the
general citizen that he had not suffi
cient warning before saleday to swin
dle some good, honest neighbor out
of stamps enough to invest in landed
estate.
Sufficient to say for the information
of our citizens who may have pur
chased property on that day, that there
is no danger of any purchaser losing
one cent on their investment, as the
property was sold in accordance With
law, and if any mistake was made
the purchaser will receive his i money
back and a per cent, for the time he
was out of the use of the same.

Baxley, Ga., March 23, 1874.
ftfß. Editor : — Everything is quiet
in this town. Owing to the abscence
of several of our most prominent
young men, our amusements are ‘few
and far between.’ Yesterday being
the holy Sabbath we organized a
promising Sabbath school, consisting
of about thirty pupils and nineteen
teachers, all of whom seemed to be de
sirous of promoting the religous wcll
farc of Baxley. Last Saturday night
quite an amusing circumstance, Mr.
Editor, occurred i;i and around this
village. A party was arrested and
brought to Superior Court for trial,
who was charged with simple lar
ceny. Being unable to give bond, it
was decided to carry him to jail this
morning and he was kept confined here
for that purpose.
On Saturday evening our friend and
and fellow-citizen, Mr. G., drank a
good deal ot ‘Branch water’—lienee
did not start home until late at night.
Soon after his departure lie returned
to Baxley, and informed her citizens
that he had been most unmercifully
robbed, by fifteen or twenty negroes
with whom lie met about a mile from
here, and that they had taken his
tobacco, pocket-book, knife, hat and a
whole host of other similar articles, too
tedious to enumerate. This enthused
the citizens of Baxley no little, espe
cially our esteemed friend S. P., who
did not sleep a wink all night, but
kept within his grasp two pistols, a
bowieknife and a walking stick—all
of which he says he intended co use if
the above negroes name to Baxley,
and made the ’east effort to release
the prisoner, which we presumed
was their intention. The negroes
never approached Baxley nor her
brave and heroic warriors. -
The good farmers of!his part of
the ‘moral vineyard’ arc busily en

One of the liappicsjf murderers who
ever ornamented a sfcaffold was work
ed off at Arkansas, on
Friday. His name was Sid Wallace,
and his chaarcter us a desperado was
such as to render him unsafe without
a rope around his neck. He harbored
the delusion that angels would take
him to Heaven after the Sheriff had
done with him, and only desired free
l dom for the sake of roaming among
jhi enemies w ith six shooters.
* rcmaSiOis.
in Great Britain, France and other
thickly populated countries there is a
serious discussion as to whether the
ohl. traditional Christian form of bu
ll.il of the dead will not have to be
changed to the burning ol the remains.
This was the practice of some of the
great nations of antiquity, and it is
argued with much force that it agrees
far better with the principles of physi
cal science, and conduces to the pre
servation of health, whicn is jeopar
dized and lost by the burial system.
Animal life derives its support from
vegetable life, and tire latter in turn
cannot exist without the decomposi
tion of animal remains and ainmai
gases thrown upon tlie soil or inhaled
by its plants. The human species is
buried too’far beneath the surface of
the earth for the soil to derive any
benefit from the decomposition. Then
in the over-populated cities and dis
tricts of the Old World the grouud as
signed for the repose of the dead can
not be afforded by the living. In the
Catacombs of Paris the remains are
taken a way-after they Lad been there
seven years. That is the limit of their
repose, after which they are carted
Ax way and made useful.
However great the outrage may be
to the finer affections of man—howev
.er laudable the feeling which teaches
that the" ashes of the dead rc sacred—
yet after all we are confronted with
the stern truth that the earth belongs
.to*the living and not to the dead. The
manner in which the dead are dispos
ed of is mainly a question ot sentiment
with the living. To the deceased it
matters not, after the vital spark has
fled, whether the remnants of bad
mortality are consumed in a furnace or
thrown into an eartli pit be food for
worms. So far as the though', that is
to be his end is dwell upon by the liv
ing, either is sufficiently awful. Al
though we know that it makes no dif
ference io the poor victim in the coffin
J there are lew or none who can see it
; lowered into the grave and covered up
with earth without a shiver or horror.
Ao familiarity with the practice, no
amount ol stoicism and philosophy,
can really change this feeling, howev
ier much it may be disguised. It is an
I instinct of humanity to dread such a
| disposition of its remains,
j It is at the burial ground that we
i ready appreciate the vast change
which has been wrought by death.—
Men may make up their minds :o death
as a relief from pain—may believe that
the death spasm is not so hard to un
dergo, but that which whelms the im
agination ot ibe thinking, portion of
humanity. The writer was once
whispered tc by a friend, as they stood
together to witness the grave-diggers
perform their work ; ‘All 1 this is nell !’
We dwell upon this to show that man
kind may, in time, come to regard the
burning process with as much compla
cency, under an inevitable necessity,
as it does now that of tin* grave. Prob
ably the danger of destroying the liv
irfg by premature burials is greater
than would occur with the furnace.
The advocates of the fiery process teli
us that the Divine sentence upon man,
after his expulsion from Eden—"‘Dust
il ou art and to dust thou shall return.’
would strike all beholders, when.ut
tered at funerals, even more forcibly
than it docs now.
In all our large cities the places of
sepulchre are constantly becoming
more expensive, for, in order to find
room, it is necessary to go a consider
able distance into the country, and ev
ery funeral consumes the best of a
day for the relations and friends of
the deceased. Periodically new bury
ing grounds have to be purchase when
the old ones are abandoned, and the
graves of our ancestors are profaned
and violated. This has been done
more than once in this city, and wi'l
be done again. The repose of the
grave with us is much longer than it
is in Paris, but it is far from being
permanent. The discussion of this
question suggests the interesting
thought that, after an experience of
thousands of years, the philosophers of
modern civilization are seriously im
pressed with the idea of the ‘ancieius’
knew better what to do with the dead
than we. Aside from the disposition
of the remains even, they certainly
did so. How much would xvc give if
we had the art of embalming human
bodies to the perfection reached by the
Egyptians ?
At the World’s Fair in Paris in 1867,
a mummy was presented which, from
pretty authentic testimony, represent
ed a person wIII was contemporary
with Father Abraham, and that is go
ing back a considerable period in the
world’s history. We live n a highly
inquisitive age. There is hardly any
thing existing—no institution, custom
or habit, however strongly fortified by
tradition and public feeling—that mod
ern radicalism does not direct its at
tention, to see if it cannot b> improved
and better adapted to our system of
society. Thus it is that bold and orig
inal thinkers lay hold of as sacred a
matter as the disposition of our dead,
and upon material reasons alone ven
ture to propose a change in the sys
tem, and against the dictate of affec-,
tion they press overwhelming argu
ment of public economy.— Cincinnati!

A Very Bashful Young Man.
The following little anecdote is told
about a very bashful man in Indiana.
The unfortunate’s friends knew that
he wanted to be married ; they knew
that he deserved to be; but they knew
that he never would be if he waited
until he found courage to pop the
question ; so they took all the trouble
off his hands, and by a series of rapid
strategic moves had him “popped,”
accepted, and wived before he could
find a pretext fur “willing.” So much
accomplished, and the nuptial evening
having passed off merrily, the young
man’s ba ik-boners withdrew at an
early hour, feeling tiiat they could
spare themselves further effort in their
friend’s behalf. About five minutes
after, young Benedict, who had evi
dently been having a serious debate
with himself, rose, and tiiok his hat,
and with a nervous ‘good-night,’ made
liis e at.
He was not seen again on his bride
or his f&mily until the following eve
ning, when lie timidly knocked at the
door and was admitted. No special
comment being made upon his singular
conduct, ho passc?d. an hour rather
comfortably in the parlor, and every
thing seemed to promise favorably for
a cure of his besetting weakness, when
hearing the household monitor pro
claim the hour of nine, he suddenly
seemed to remembe he had forgo’ten
something,_and started for his hat.
This was the moment, and the event
that had been somewhat expectantly
awaited with indignation most pro
found but under control by the bride’s
mother. Planting herself resolutely
in the doorway, the old lady demand
ed to know why and wherefore, what
he proposed to do and whether he
was a man or only a feeble imitation,
&c. In short, why li ~ did not remain
with his wife, instead of slinking back
to his old quarters ? The bashful son
in-law stammered out, as the” elderly
female seized his hat with determina
tion, and backed him into a chair
again,—
“YVeli, I should like to, bat I thought
maybe I’d better wait awhile, for fear
it might make taik among the neigh
bors !’
The and tlie^Crow.
In a recent speech in the Ilom-e of
Representatives, against he Civil
Rights bill, Mr. Robbins, of North
Carolina, speaking of Uje levelling”
spirit of the day, made a pertinent
suggestion of a reform that ought to
be put into immediate execution. lie
said :
“Above your head, Mr. Speaker, I
see the image and presentment of the
Eagle—our national ainblem. In the
name of equality, sir, I demand what
business has he there ? lie is a mon
arch—the king ot birds. He is not a
fit emblem for us in these times—no
proper representative of the prevalent
idea. I suggest that he be torn down
as the French tore down the mono,
gram ot the Emperor. Do you ask me
what bird could, with propriety, be
put in his place ? The crow, sir. He
is a bird of medium size, and therefore
embodies well, the idea of the levell
ers. liis plumage is of the'favorite
color, so dominant with the popular
party. [Laughter] I will not—be
cause it would seem ungracious—car
ry out the parallel in its details, and
show how fit an emblem for the times
he is in other respects, such as his
thieving propensities, and the like.—
[Laughter.] I think what has been
suggested is sufficient to satisfy you
that if this bill is to pass, the so-called
reformers should at least amend it, by
providing that the eagle shall hence
forth come down from his proud perch,
and the crow be exaltered in his stead
[Li. lighter.]

Should an acquaintace tread on
your dress, your best, your very best,
and by accident tear it, how profuse
you are with your “never minds, don’t
think of it, I don’t care at all.” If a
husband does it, he gets a frown; il a
child he is chastised.
Ah ! these are little things, say you.
They tell on the heart, let us assure
you, little as they are.

Goes home; his wife lias been taking
caie of the sick and worked herself al

be kept in better order ; there never
were such cross children before.” No
apologies except away from home.
Why not be polite at home ? Why
not use freely the coin of courtesy ?
llow sweet they sound, those little
words, “1 thank you,” or, “You are
very kind.” Doubly; yes, thrice sweet
! from the lips we love, when heart
! smiles make the eye sparkle with the
clear light of affection.
Be polite to your children. Do you
j expect them to be mindful of your wel
| fare; to grow glad at your approach ;
to bound away to do your pleasure be
fore your request is half spoken? Then
with all your dignity and authority,
have politeness. Give it a niche in
your household temple. Only then will
you have the true secret of sending
out into the world really finished gen
llemen and ladies.
Again we say unto all—be polite.
