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. .#*- The Supreme Court of the United States at Washington, on the 15. h, rendered a decision which ends a long disputed question.
