A Rebel's Bible Retcrned— The Srvannah
Republican gives the following history of a bible
and its return:
“ In the charge on Fort Saunders at Knoxville,
Tennessee, on the 29th day of November, 1863,
Mr. Henry L. Davis, of Company 8., Sth Georgia
Regiment of Infan'ry, was wounded in the arm
and taken prisoner by the Yankees.
••On his person he had carried with him
through the war—like many another rebel boy we
have known—a little bible, in which he had writ
ten hia name, company, regiment and residence.
This sacred talesman, for such amidst the vicissi
tudes of war and the danger of oft-recurring bat
tles the soldier's mind came to regard such a pos
session, was subsequently taken from the captured
rebel at Fort Delaware.
“ Yesterday Mr. Davis, who lives in Savanuah,
received the missing book through the postoffice,
the captor of so strange a trophy having at last
been induced by gentle thoughts—perhaps in
spired while perusing its pages—to return the
rebel the former shearer of his dangers of the
tented field and quiet friend of his hour* amidst
the sad scenes of courage and strife.'’
Vital Statistics —The Boston Globe gives the
following statement of statistics which is taken
from the ninth census: The fatality attending
various diseases is as follows: The number of
deaths from consumption is greatest in Maine;
next in order come New Hampshire, Rhode Is
land and Vermont; the lowest proportion is
shown by Arizona, which, on account of the diffi
culty of ccllectiug facts, and the consideration
that the settlers are a men.is scarcely
entitled to claim the distinction ss honestly won.
The largest proportional number of deaths from
croup occurred in Tennessee; tha least in any of
the older States occurred in New Hampshire. In
Delaware and in Dakota, Washington and Wy
oming Territories there were no deaths from
small-pox; bat in Arizona Territory the disease
was peculiarly fatal—one death to every three in
habitants. Florida leads in the deaths from re
mittent fevers, Georgia in cancer and Oregon m
crebro**fliud ainlaglU*.
The Great (amtl.
The Western Press seem to be alive to the great
importance of the early construction ol the Great
Western Canal. The Misaouri Republican has the
following on the above question :
“‘Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all a
farm.’ So he is. He has given us farms so many
and 60 rich, and bis nephews, the larmers, have
proved so thrifty as to make the momentous
question now before that division ot this country
knowu as the Great West: What can we do unth
our product I Distress and ruin look fiercely into
the faces of the farmers of the West, while their
cribs ere gorged with the fat of the land which,
while it sustains life, will not pay taxes and pur
chase many of those things as essential to living
as the staff of life oi which they have an abundant
supply. Without relief disaster and barkruptey
will surely end speedily overtake vast numbers ol
the smaller farmers, many of whom are deeply in
debt. Creditors press them for payment, their
crops are worthless, and unless relief soon comes
they must lose their farms and be cast forth al
most penniless upon the world. Seeing this they
inaugurate a ‘movement’ and with sturdy per
sistence they organise, meet, confer and unite in
conventions until Uncle Sam’s granary is ablaze
with the exciting discussions upon the great ques
tion—cheap transportation. To discuss this ques
tion, as has been several times mentioned in pre
vious issues of this paper, Governor Smith, of
Georgia, has invited the Governors of the States
interested and the Mayors of cities most con
cerned in the matter to meet at the capital ol his
Btate on the 20th ol May. The highest authority
iu the land—the engineer department of the Unit
ed States—assert* that the enterprise to which
Governor Smith desires to call the attention of
this convention of Governors, will transport a ton
of freight from St. Louis to the Atlantic oceau,
to Savannah, Georgia, for 14 88 per ton.
Think of it S Think what a competition would
ensue between it and the railroad monopoly
which now charges sl4 400 to carry a ton ot
freight to the seaboard. It is true that we have
our great river and the Gulf of Mexico through
which to reach the Atlantic, but the line of the
At'antic and Great Western canal cats off 1,500
milts of navigation and insurance at high rates
arcund Florida ch route to New York or Liver
pool from St. Louis. It has an abundant supply
of water in summer and never freegrs in winter.
It is the purpose of the Georgians in the conven
tion to demonstrate this, and if such results can
be shown by satisfactory evidence as are prom
ised, how urgent is the necessity that this conven
tion should bo attended by the persons invited
and lend their moral support to the solution of a
problem of griater importance than any before
the country!
“Gen. Dußose said of It in a speech before the
recent Congress:
“ 4 It is conceded that the tendency ol civiliza
tion is the centralization of capital from which
inevitably Sows the erection of classes in society
•end the despotism of money. 'lbis great national
free water-course, op. <i to the humblest carrying
enterprise, presents an eternal and insurmoutable
barrier to the greed of the capitalist and the
heartlessness of corporations. It will carry lreß
the wealth of the world to the doors of the peo
ple. It Is the antagonist ot monopolies; will not
tolerate middlemen or carrying coufjinations;
will diffuse to the people the wealth of the coun
try. la the enemy of-despotism and ike handmaiden
of lilerty.’
“The press is the most powerful engine for
good in this land, and if the Western papers will
speak out in favor of this convention, and urge
those invited to attend, wo do not doubt that
good will be the result, and the friends of trans
portation make much progress toward their de
sired object.”
What a Boy Knows About Gikls.— Girls ara
the most uuaeconntablest tilings in tbe world —
except a woman. Lise the wicked flea, when you
buve them they ain’t there. I can cipher clean
over the improper fractions, and the teacher says
I doit first rate; tut I can’t cipher out a girl,
proper or improper, and you can’t either. The
only rule in arithmetic that hits their case is
the double rale of three. They are as full of Old
Nick as their skin can held, and they would die
if they couldn’t torment somebody. When th-y
try to be mean they are as mean as pusley,though
they ain’t as mean as they let ou, except some
times, and then they are a good deal meaner. The
only way to get along with a girl when she comes
to you with her nousense is to give her tit tor
tat, and that will flummux her, and when you eet
a girl flummnxcd she is as nice as anew piu. A
girl can sow more wild oats in a day than a boy
can sow iu a year, but girls get their wild oats
sowed after a while, which boys never do, and
then they settle down as placid as a mud-puddle.
But 1 like girls first rate, and I guess the boys all
do. I don’t care how many tricks they play on
me—and they don’t care either. The heitytoity
est girl iu the world can always boil overlike a
glass ot soda. By-and-by they will get into the
traces with somebody they like aud puli as 6teady
as an old stage horse. That is the beauty ot them.
So let them waive, I say; they will pay for it some
day, sewiug on buttons, and trying to make a
man out of the tellow ttey have spliced on to, and
ten chaneea to one if they don’t get the worst ol it.
How the Girl of the Period Must Fix Up
to Be is the Sttlb.— Mrs. Burnham, the cor
respondent of the St. Louis Republican, w riles
on the above highly important point.
A lady to be extremely stylish now mast be
narrow enough taken in froDt, to pass between
the haudlea of a w heelbarrow without touching ei
ther side, but the can make it np by any amount
of pr'jection behind. Her head must be narrow;
broad bead# are very unfashionable. Her hair
must all go to the top. Her hat must have all th *
ornamentation massed at the back. The sides
must in all respects be Qat and narrow, tte hat
plastered on behind, the hair parted on th left
with some curls and crimps on the right of tha
forehead. Then an eaibroided camel’s hair pol
onaise: side fastened with immense clasps of ox
ydised silver. A little chunkhandled Englisa um
brella, swinging, like a sword, by an oxydiz;d
chain. A skirt heavily trimmed, the fullness
taken entirely to the rear, and rather short frent
and sides, but sweeeping quite a train just be
hind. That’s the pretty picturs of to day.
An Anecdote c Garret Davis.— They tell
this good story of the late Garret Davis and Pome
roy, the Yorked. The Kentucky Senator was one
day snoozing quietly in his Senatorial chair,when
a bill that had been taken up during his nap came
to vote. “ Wake up, Mr. Davis, your name is
called."
Half unconsciously the Kentuckian rose, and
asked the Vice President what they were voting
on. The Vice President explained that it was a
railroad bill in Kansas.
•• Well,” said Mr. Davis, in that shrill voice and
pointed manner of bis, •* what I want to know
before I vote, is the amount of stealieg in this
bill.”
Whereupon the great and good Pomery arose,
his face beaming all over with the smiles which
cnly a clear conscience can produce. ** If the
Senator from Kentucky will permit me, I will ex
plain. I have thoroughly investigated this bill,
sir, acd 1 assure joa, ft there is any stealing in it,
I cannot find it.”
” All right, Mr. Fresiden’, if the Senator lrcm
Kansas cannot find any stealage, I’m satisfied
there is none there.” And ail over the Senate
chamber there waa an audible smile.
FORSYTH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING APRIL 22. 1873.
Defeusc of Fhclps, Dodge At Cos.
From dispatches in the Telegraph and Messen
ger we clip the following statement >f the above
named firm, which they submit ae an explanation
of their rtcent troubles with tae Government:
“ The law requires that all imported good* shall
be assessed for duties at their true market value ;
but that tbe Invoice accompanying shall declare
their actual coat. In practice, however, it is the
custom to assess duties on actual cost, when this
is in excess of market value, and at market value
when this is in excess of cost.
“It was not charged that the firm had ever in
voiced any goods at less than true market value;
but the difficulty rose first in respect to certain
comparatively small items. Unusual eixes of tiu
plate, specially constructed for months in advance
of delivery, the firm furnishing the raw materials
to the manufacturers and receiving iu return the
furnished product. The market value of of these
goods, in consequence of fluctuation in the value
of metals, was different at the time of shipment
from the control prices, more or less, and as
there was always a possibility of some reduction
in consequence of variation iu the p rice of the
raw material, in the tiual settlement the cost it
self was not fixed, but contingent under such cir
cumstances.
“The shippers in Liverpool, without due con
sideration, met the practical difficulty created by
the law, by making up the goods on the invoice
when the cost was less than market value and
making a small reduction when the market value
was less than cost, the charges, as investigation
subsequently showed, being far more frequently
in favor of the Government than against it In
6uch cases 6mall memoranda, calling attention to
the terms of the contract were sent to New York.
“ The firm, considering them of no importance,
handed them all to the assistant clerks to be af
fixed without concealment to the pages ot their
invoice books. Tte same clerk, who had previ
ously been taken into the house and educated
frem charitable motives, and who was subse
quently shown to have beeu concerned in allow
ing certain dishonest persons to enter the store
ot the firm at night, for the purpose of inspecting
their books and papers, did, however, discover
the irregularities in question. In place of inform
ing his employers, as was his duty, and giving
them an opportunity to correct any error, re
moved the memoranda from the invoice book,
and after destroying those which showed instan
ces where the Government bad been benefited
and preserving those where a small benefit had
accrued to the firm, placed the latter in the hands
©f the Treasury agent.
“A charge of fraud having been preferred, tbe
firm at once voluntarily surrendered their books
ard papers to the authorities, and offered without
legal delay, or expense to pay any just claims or
penalties that might be proved against them, and,
as an earnest of good faith, and before any com
plete examination, deposited the value of the im
ported articles claimed to have been vitiated.
“On examination the government held the
memoranda to be in the nature of duplicate in
voices, and, going back five years, selected out of
an aggregate importation of over $4,0000,000 some
50 invoices, which represented an import of about
$1,000,000, of which last it was claimed that iteins
to the value of $271,000 had been irregularly in
voiced; but of the total amount of .hese items
the maximum undervaluation chargid was less
than $15,000, on whleh the highest “stiiuated loss
to the government was not probably In excess of
$2,000.
“ By strict construction of the law the govern
ment had a right to confiscate the aggregate value
of the invoices ; but the government compromised
by assessing the firm s27l,ooo—the value of the
item claimed to have been illegally invoiced. The
statement of the analysis of one of the principal
invoices and memoranda, regarded by the govern
ment as establishing complete illegality, which
showed that out of an invoiee of 2,100 boxes of
tin plate, all invoiced at their true market value,
certified as 6ueh by the consul at Liverpool, and
passed by the appraisers in New York.
“The contiact price of one hundred and seven
ty four boxes was six pence a box more than the
Invoiced market value, making a difference be
tweeu cost aud market value of about twenty
three dollars, in which the whole loss that could
under any circumstances have accrued to the rev
enue was about five dollars, and yet, for this the
Government exacted a penalty of the lull value of
the one hundred and seventy-tour boxes or
$1,460
“The statement denies that any indictment wag
ever tonnd against the firm, or that any attempt
had ever been made by them to Improperly influ
ence custom-house officials, and, in conclusion,
an appeal is made to the public whether it is pos
sible, or even likely, that a firm, which, for 60
many years, has preserved an unsullied reputa
tion, which pays annually hundreds of thousands
ta the Government for duties, and transacts busi
ness annually to the extent of millions, could
enter into a scheme to defraud the revenue of a
tew thousand dollars during a period extending
over five years aud covering millions of transac
tions.”
Currency in San Domingo.— Harpei’s Maga
zine for April has the following:
“ From Monte Cristo Mr. Hazard took passage
in a schooner for Cape Haytien, a distance of
about sixty miles. His first experience in the ne
gro republic was anything but pleasant. Starting
in the evening, aua expecting to reach port by
daybreak, there was not a mouthful of food on
board. Delayed by a calm, the schooner did not
come to anchor until noon. The custom-house
officers were then at breakfast, and kept our hun
gry voyager waiting two hours for permission to
land, and when the aggravating police authorities
took up all the rest of the day in examining his
papers, before he was allowed to gratify his ra
ging appetite. *• What will you have ?” asked the
poiite waiter, when, torn with hunger and vexa
tion, he seated himself at a cafe table. “ Every
thing, anything—beer, bread, fruit, cheese—bring
it all once,” waa his response, and the prompt
compliance tended greatly to soothe the traveler’s
exasperated sensibilities.
‘‘The next morning Mr. Hazard experienced a
new sensation. He suddenly found himself a
millionaire. His first act on rising was to adapt
himself to the custom of the country and ask for
a “cocktail.” It was well fabricated and enjoyed
with zest. Then ensued the lollowing dialogue:
“ * How mueh ?’ I asked.
“ * Thirty dollars, monsieur.’
“‘I start back horror struck. Thirty dollars
for a drink! I see it. lam a poor, miserable
American, disowned by his government, in a for
eign land, and theee barbarians know it, and now
they want to swindle me. But the old spirit of
’76 comes strong upon me, and I get reckless. I
vow I will not pay it, and drawing from my pock
et a silver coin of the realm of America, value ten
ceuta, I declare it is all the money I have.
“ ‘To my amazement the mild bar keeper says
“ I haven’t the change sir.”
“*Ah !” I begin to see it; and with a princely
air I say, ‘Oh, keep the change!’
‘‘Later in the day Mr. Hazard was informed by
the banker to whom he applied to hare a draft for
a few hundred dollars cashed, that one dollar in
gold was worth lour hundred dollars in t ,e paper
currency of the country, and that if he had his
draft cashed he w*u!d need baif a dozen mud
carts to take sway the bills! He left the draft at
the bank, and drew only a few thousands for
spending money.
Tan telegram bearing the single woid “Saved,”
which Mr. B B. Richmond sent lrom Halilax to
his brother in Detroit, has been framed by his
partners and hung up in the counting-room ef the
firm.
“In G-od we Trust.”
Growing Old Together.
Do yon know I am thinking to morrow
We shall piss ou our journey through life
One more of the mile stones that oriug us
Still nearer the goal, my dear wile *
Tha glad atiuiversary morning
Ui our weddiug day eomctu once more •
Aud its evening will find us slid waiting *
Who had .hought to have gone long before.
We are old. wite, I know by the farrows
Time has plow’d on your brow, ouce so lair •
I know by the crown ot bright silver
He has left for your once raven hair ;
I know by ibe frost on the flowers
That brightened our life at its dawn;
I know by the graves ia the church-yard,
Where we counted our dead yestermorn.
Ycur way has been bumble and toil-worn,
Your guest has been trouble, good wife—
Part sunshine, more trials aud sorrows—
Have made up your record through life;
But may the thought cheer you, my dear one,
Your patience ana sweet clinging love
Have mace me here such a Heaven,
I have asked, “ is there brighter above ?”
In life’s winter, sweet wife, we are living,
But its storms all unheeded will tall;
Wuat care we, who have love and each other,
Who have proved each to each, ail iu all?
Hand in hand we await the night’s coming,
_ Giving thanks, down the valley we go ;
For to love, aud to grow old together
Ii the highest bliss mortals can k.-osv.
Some children arc still left to bless u,
And lighten our hearts day by dsy ;
If hope is not always lruition,
We will strive to keep in ’.he right way.
We have sowed, and reaped, but the harvest
That garners the world we await,
And happily at last we may enter
Together the beautiful gate.
A Beautiful Retrospect.—Wheu the sum
mer day of youth is slowly wasting away into the
nightfall of age, and the shadows o! the year
grow deeper and deeper as life wears to a elose,
it is pieasent to look back through the vistas of
time upon the joys and sorrows ot early years.
Ii we have a home to shelter, or hearts to rejoice
with us, and friends who nave been gathering
around our fireside, then tha rough places of our
wayfaring will be worn and smoothed away in the
twilight ot 11 e, while the bright sunny spots we
have passed through will grow hrighier and more
beautiful. Hap ay Indeed, are those whose inter
course with the world has not changed the course
of their holier feeling, or broken those musical
choids ot the heart whose vibrations are so me
lodius, so tender and so touching iu the even
log ot age.
