THE MONROE fife ADVERTISER. GEORGE A. KING & CO.,] VOL. XVUI. She JRonm FORSYTH. TUESDAY APRIL 29, 1873~ Col. W. A. (.'ark, of Athens, died on Sunday the 20th Inst. Mu Jambs Balkcom died in Twigg* county on the 21st. ■ ♦ - Bishop Beckwith confirmed twenty person* in Athens last Sunday. A orb at number of sheep around Griffin were killed by dogs one day last week. A 865 pound sturgeon was captured in the Oge chee river by Messrs. Knight, of Bullccb county. Mrs. 11. C. Prick, of Barnesviile, an admirable lady, died on Satusday night the 19th. A Convention of the temperance people of Georgia will assemble in Macon on the 7th of May. Atlanta has been crying for water works for some time, but getting none, she has set to yell !ng. Tub Bank of the University of Athens was or ganized on the 17th, and will go into operations ut once. So says the Watchman. Mm sai.i.ik Davis, daughter ol a citizen living near Lumpkin, died very suddenly—supposed to have been poisoned. >♦ Tub Tbomaston Herald and the Hon. F. Math ews have had some sharp words, which resulted in a very severe excoriation of the latter. Jacob P. Feilbk, a well known citizen of Madi son, has been arrested and tarried to Atlanta on a charge of misdemeanor under the bankrupt act. Colcmuus has a plow manufactory which gives employment to twenty blacksmiths, and tarns oat the be-1 made plows in the South. Tub Constitutionalist says that the court ex penses of Richmond county for one year, from February Ist, 1872, to February Ist, 1678, amount ed to the neat sum of $15,094 82. Tub dwelling house of Mr. A. Leigh, member of the last legislature from Coweta county, was burned on Tuesday night laat. Only a part of the contents saved. Loss about $2,500. No insur ance. Tub Atlanta Constitution announces that Gov. Smith has received responses from twelve or fourteen Governors, ail of whom accept his invi tation except one. Tna Griflln News has heard that the Grand Jury of Henry Superior Court had found true bills for Involuntary manslaughter against Charlie White, the conductor, and Elick Johnson, the engineer. Their trials ware put off until the reg ular term of the court in October. TusAthens Watchman says: “ Mr. F. 8. lUw eon sent a few days ago a sample of artificial honey which he manufactured according to a of fering lor sale. We tested it and all hands are of opinion that the queen bee herself could not de tect the difference between it and the natural artice.” The Columbus Sun says: “The religious in terest at Ashbury Chapel, of the A. M. E. Church In this city, is increasing, and the pastor, Rev. W. H. Noble, colored, admitted eight to member ship, on Friday night last, and on Suadav night thirty one more were added to the number. Over one hundred are now manifesting a desire to be come Christians, and meetings are being held every alterenoon and night. A Rkd Man’s Uehoism.—The Virginia City Montanian says the nearest approach to the heroic coloring, given lo Indian character by the pale faced poets of other days, has just been told us by one of the participators in a little 6quabble with one oi the bone-picking Bannacks who haunt that vicinity. One day last week, while George Gohn and George Smith were killing beef at their slaughter-house up the gulch, a Banoack Indian accompanied by three or four squaws, came upon the scene iu search of wood and the legitimate plunder of the slaughter-house—the re fuse. The lordly child of the forest undignificdly stretched himself upon the ground aud calmly smiled upon his industrious wives as they gath ered the trophies. Happening to pass his way, Smith accidentally or otherwise, touched the big Ingen’s foot with his boot, when big Ingen re •ented the fancied insult by laying hold of a clap board and swatting George over the back. More pleased than angry, Smith retaliated by squccaing the red man’s wind-pipe and shoving him eue side, supposing this would settle it. “Not so, however, for “Lo” had been Insulted, and his dignity must be appeased. He according ly went for Smith, and iu a ten minute rough and tumble fight came out second best. Now light here is where a sensible white man would have quit and where the traditional heroism of the red asserted itself. He had been insulted in the pres ence of his sunburnt loves, and then ignomini onaly thrashed. It was too much, and with a voice humbled with shame and a bosom bared to the skies, he approached Mr. Gohn with : “Me licked; me big Ingen, and me no want to live. You shootce mo, George—you killum me quick— me no want to live.” George remonstrated, but iu vain—that buck was disgraced and v anted to be gathered to his fathers, and insisted on being killed as he stood smiting his brave, brown bosom before the humane slayer of kine. Failing to couvince him that many a white man got whipped and then had the audacity to want to live, Gohn had to lead him away. On Smith’s returning to town and cabin in the evening, the noble Bannack again eame and insisted on being killed, and finally persuaded Smith to perform that bloody deed with a “little axe.” Stoically stood the chief under the shadow of the blade, ready for the sacrifice, aud as it descended with a crash, Mr. Indian sprang to one side, and you couldn’t have seen his heels for the dust as, he struck out for his “ waikup.” If Cooper bad been writing this, that Indian would now have been an honored corpse, but as it is, he remains for us to endure and the Peace Commissioners to take care of. University or Vumlhia. —Referring to the career ot Mr. J. D. Isaacs, of Richmond, who graduated at the above named University, and who afterwards became a mechanic, the Char lottsvlile Chronicle says : This is not the only Instance knowu of young men who, after spend ing several years as students ot the University, have gone into machine shop3 to learn practically all the arts of engineers and machinists. A young gentleman ol the county, who was a University student for several years, went through a pupil age at Harris’ foundry, was alterwards employed at laborer’s wages in New York, then in Liver* pool, and is now pursuing his profession or trade (whichever it may be celled) on an ocean steamer. These, and other instances which could be men tioned, are the best answer and rebuke to the senseless cry that is made against the University as a school for highflyers, for rich men and sons of men who are, or consider themselves to be, elevated above the mechanic and laboring class. It this criticism of the University had the least shadow ot a shade of ground in tact, there would be such a public sentiment pervading the whole college and the community about it that no young man who had breathed the atmosphere of the place for more than one session would leave the classic shades, and seek for regular employment In life amid the clatter and clangor of machinery •ad kb* original racket of an anvil chorus Cotton—lts Cultivation. A correspondent of the Nashville Rural Sun makes the following suggestion in regard to the culture of cotton, which may prove interesting and beneficial to our farmers: “ So many plans for the culture of cotton have been successfully adopted that, to prescribe a cer tain mode, would be simply giving the opinion of the writer, in conflict, perhaps, with the judgment of better cotton farmers. But Ido not think one could fail to raise cotton on the plan that I shall auggeat, aa the mode generally adopted by our Southern planters. “ Most good tarmers In oar Slate are ready to plant cotton, so as to be done about the 10th of April. Land should be thrown up into as high beds as possible, so as to give the plant all the advantages of that surface drainage which the heavy Southern rainfall makes especially necessa ry. This it emphatically a sun plant. It thrives under the ray of the same sun which withers the corn blade. It is a plant which seems peculiarly adapted to our droutby climate. By an examina tion of its foliage one sees that it is so construct ed as to readily shed rain; the comparison with corn is characteristically the reverse. In planting, the rows should be opened so as to tear down the bed as little as possible, and the drill made per fectly straight. The seed should be rolled in dampened ashes, so they roll separate in the drill, and not epront up in bunches, to be destroyed by the careless hoe hand. If planted immediately before a rain, or when the ground is damp, the seeds sprout above the ground a few days after planting. The trouble of cotton begins from the time it shows its “shining countenance.” It is preyed upon by the craw-fish, lice, damp and cold, in its incipieney. The farmer, by reason of this necessity for attention to his corn about the time his cotton is well up, seldom has a chance to hoe it out in time. The best judges say cot ton should be ‘ put to a stand’ the first hoeing over, and not ‘ blotched’ once or twice previous, as those afraid of lice and craw-fish recommend. As soon as the young plant is thinned out and worked around with the hoe, this early impetus to grow eoon gives it sufficient strength to shed lice, and get beyond the appetite of the craw-fish. The planter who gets his cotton to a stand, is half the battle ahead of his la*y neighbor. Pre vious to hoeing, cotton is ‘barred off’ with the plow, running as close as possible, so as not to disturb the plant, and in this part of the work the importance of a straight drill is discovered. By the narrow remnant of undisturbed soil left next to the plant, hoeing is facilitated. The dextrous use of the plow renders hoeing a secondary ne cessity in the cultivation of cotton. The skillful plowman, alter the ‘ barring ofl,’ turns back and, with a solid sweep, throws the loose dirt again well up around the plant—that process being im portant, not only to keep the earth stirred, but to cover the impres6ibie crab grass and morning glories, which love so well the company of cotton on its growth to maturity. The farmer who al lows his cotton to keep such company can’t make it pay iu raising the great staple. The middles between the rows should never be left too long— keep them thrown out, and you have a place for the loose dirt turned from the re-barring off, and your persistent friend, crab grass, is kept well smothered under. The general idea of cotton culture should be deep ‘ bedding up’ and shallow cultivation. The object cf culture is not to dis turb the growing plant by uprooting it with the plow, but to keep the autaee of the ground stirred, and loose dirt around the cotton and upon the grass. Cotton left to itself among the weeds shoots up into a boleless stalk ; well culti vated and slightly disturbed by the passage of tho plow, it grows to maturity with a plentiful har vest of bolls. Rains in excess cause quick, rank growth, a disposition to grow too much to limbs, and to shed from the bolls. Dry seasons are the best lor cotton. The growth of the plant then Is moderate; the tendency is to grow fruit instead of wood. “ After the battle for a good ‘ stand’ has been decided, the planter feels that he is 9ure of a half crop—ccme boll worm, come rain. One-fourth of the cotton crop every season is destroyed by the heedless negro ia hoeing out to a stand.” Us Boxs.—Billy Rose, a temperance lecturer at Rushville, Illinois, was preaching to the young on his favorite theme. He said: “ Now, boys, when I ask you a question you must not be atraid to speak light out and answer me. When you look around aud see all these fine houses, farms and cattle, do you ever think who owns them now? Yout father* own* them, do they not ? “ Yes, air,” shouted a hundred voices. “ Well, whare will your fathers be twenty years from now ?’’ “Dead,” shouted the boys. “ That’s right. And who will own all this prop erty then ?” “Us boys,” shouted the urchins. “Right. Now tell me, did you ever In going along the streets, notice the drunkards lounging around the saloon door, waiting for somebody to treat them ?” “Yes, sir, lots of them!” “ Well, where will they be twenty years from now ?’* “ Dead!” exclaimed the boys. “And who will be the drunkards then?” “ Us boys!” Billy was thunderstruck for a moment, bnt re covering himself, he tried to tell the hoys how to escape such a fate. Gov. Hendricks.— This politician, in a letter to the Indianapolis Sentinel, explains his recent visit to Washington, in which he intimates very decidedly what ought to b 2 done, according to his notion, in the politics ot the country. He says: “My visit to Washington City had nothing whatever to do with political matteis, and whilst there I had less conversation in relation to parties and party organizations than at any former visit to that city, and I was quite surprised when I learned that newspaper correspondents attributed to me auy political purpose. A cause in the Su preme Court and some business in the Depart ments occupied nearly ail my time, my conversa tions with friends and acquaintances upon public and political matters were casual and without arrangement, and I might say without design. "I have expressed the hope, which I earnestly entertain, that all who sincerely des ire a thorough reform in the public service shall so act together as to restore integrity and economy in that ser vice, and place the public authority once more upon a constitutional basis. How this may be best accomplished, whether through oar existing organization or by a movement introducing new elements, should be carefully considered, and the action of the Democratic, Liberal and Reform ele ments in the States, will probably suggest the best general action. I believe a large majority of the people desire a change in the administration, and the practical question is, how shall they ccme together wi g a view to that end.” A Parisian philosopher, who was wealthy as well as philosophical, left lbs following testa ment—“lt is my will that any one of my relatives who shall presume to shed tears at my funeral, shall be disinherited ; he who laughs most heartily 6hall be sole heir ’’ —all bereaved kindred are now under treatment for exploded sides. The success ful competitor was the philosopher’s grandfather, who produced an artificial hilarity by ,basly In baling nitrous-oxide gas. FORSYTH, GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING APRIL 29. 1873. Lundor’i “Imaginary Conversa tion*.” From advance sheets of s.nouer’i for May, we copy the following: From youth bis letters, oL-.a essays aud reviews in themselves, to his seiectest intellectual com panions, exhibit him as a splendid artist in prose and a learned and accurate thinker. He had been drinking the wine ol iife, reading, reflecting, studying “cities of men * * and climates, councils, governments,” at Tours, Como, Pisa, Florence, Bath; and, at the age of forty-five or forty-six, with every faculty matured, became suddenly aware of the fitness of written dia logue as the vehicle of his conceptions, and for the exercise of that dramatic tendency which had thus far formed no practical outlet. Foster has pointed out that this form of literature was suited alike to his strength, dogmatism, and variety of mood. The idea, once conceived, was realized with his usual impetuosity. It swelled and swelled, drawing np the thought and observation of a lifetime; in two years the first and second books of Imaginary Conversations were given to the world, and in four more, six volumes in all had been completed. For the first time the En glish people were dazzled and affected by this au thor’s genius; the books were a success; and all citizens of the republic of letters discovered, what a few choice spirits had known before, that Land or was their peer and master. It is needless to eulogize the series of imaginary Conversations—to which the poet kept adding, as the fancy seized him, until the year of his decease within the memory of us all. They have passed into literature, and their influence and charm are undying. They are an encyclopedia, a panoramic museum, a perpetual drama, a changeful world cl fancy, character, and action. Their learning cov ers languages, histories, inventions; their thought discerns and analyzes literature, art, poetry, phi losophy, manners, life, government, religion— everything to which human faculties have applied themselves, which eye Las seen, ear has beard, or the heart of man conceived. Their personages are as noble as those of Sophocles, as sage and famous a3 Plutarch’s, as varied as those of Shak speare himself: comprising poets, orators, sol diers, statesmen, monarchs, fair women and brave men. Through them all, among them all, breathes the spirit of Landor, and above them waves his compelling wand. Where his subjectively becomes apparent, it is in a serene and elevated mood; for he is traversing the realm of the ideal, his better angel rules the hour, and the man is transfigured in the magician and the poet. Vat - Ish Dat. —The following reminissence shows how important it was to know the counter sign during the war: As the chilly night drew on, not a thousaud miles from Natchez, onee upon a time might have been seen a solitary Teuton, steering his steed along the by-path of the valley of pass. Thus It 1 was, and the squawk ot the snaptooole was only heard, when, suddenly—“ Halt,” rung out in startling tones, upon the night air. i “ Halt it vas!” was the response. “ Who dun cum darSA’ Interrogated the dusky sentinel. “ Frensh, mit der countershinwas the an- ‘ swer. “ Fren wid de countersine, ’vance an’ gub it!” Leaning accommodatingly over from fils weary charger, the rider was about to whisper the ts’is nianic word, when old Gunlock, anticipatingly, ' ciaps his month to the horseman's ear and ex claims, “ teetum!” “ Te Tuyvel,” cried Hans, “ vat ia dat ?” “ Dem’s un!” says Ebo “ teetum ! don’t ye dun know, dem is dun been de eountersine ?” “You plack dunderheads,” retoited Hans, “de vorts vas Antydam! I knows so better as myself 1” “ Den pass l” replies smutface, and in a moment, only the echos of retiring huffs could be recog nized, excepting when the sparks from his iron heels upon the flint stones flashed spitefully back upon the wandering optics of the lightnißg bug. The word for the night was Antietam. Mexico to bb Invaded. —The Savannah Ad vertiser of Sunday morning says that on Saturday afternoon its editors received a visit from a gen tleman who gave the following items: On Friday morning last he had an interview with a gentleman—late an officer of one of the United States volunteer corps—who had just ar rived from New Orleans. Before leaving that city he stated that he had been approached and offered a command in an expedition then being organized to move on Mexico. He was told that the advance guards was to be composed of five thousand men, composed of Texans and others, and was to be commanded by James Longstreet, late of the Confederate army, now of the Kellogg militia. He was further In formed that the United States government knew of and would aid it in every way possible. He was also told that enlistments for the purpose were be ; ng made in Mobile and other points in the Southwest, and expressed some surprise that nothing bad been done in Savannah. Our informant is a gentleman of intelligence and reliability, and his statement is doubtless correct in every particular. Thh Strikers at Work.— Dispatches states that the Boston Sunday Herald is informed by a prominent member ef the United Order of Ameri can Carpenters and Joiners, and amalgamated unions, that the commotion in the organiiation in New York is but the premonitory symptoms of a general upheaval at an early date in all the large cities of the North, Southeast aud West. The local branches of the order, iu all sections, have been holding large and enthusiastic secret meetings, and a general plan of action for the government of this national organization is about completed. The funds now in the treasury are large, and sufficient to enable the members to hold out, on a strike, for at least six month*. The Association is more anxious to secure the eight-hour system than an increase of wages. But if the strike is caused by non-compliance of employers to recognize the eight-hour plan, then the increase of pay will be demanded. It is stated that in Boston and the neighboring cities, the order has a large and influential mem bership. The fraternity, in all sections, when everything is ready, will rise simultaneously. The machinists, blacksmiths, boiler makers and metal workers, it is understood, will also commence to move soon in conjunction with the iron moulders and Eight Hour League, of New York, to carry into effect the great objects in view. The Pcpb. —The Cincinnati Enquirer has this to say about the death of the Pope : “ Pope Pius the Ninth lacks a month of being eighty one years of age. It ia said that he is at the point ol death. Had Napoleon 111. died three years before he did, his demise would have agita ted all the States ot Europe. Had Pius the Ninth died as long ago his death would have sent a tre mor through two hundred millions of people and have unsettled the politics ot more than’one European State. If his death shall o-enr now it will be a commanding event, but not an absorb ing one in any nation. The election of his suc cessor, however, by the College of Cardinals will be an absorbing event in case of his death ’ He was elected to the Papacy on the 16th of June 1b46, under the name ot Pius the Ninth. He has had a long ecclesiastical reign. He has had top a chequered career. It his light shall presentiv go into darkness, the head of that Church which has more communicants than, perhaps all other Churches, will be no more. But the achievements of nis long life are a part of the history of the world. The name of Giovanni Marie Mastai Fer* relti is lost in his sacerdotal name, but tb- figu ' ia one of the foremost in the recent hietorjw r ® “In G-od w© Trust.” Ji*T. Welcome, beautiful May, With your wealth ot Duds and Making the woodlands so gay, Offspring of April showers! Welcome, beautifal May! Fair as the morning of life. Before our souls are saddened By all earth’s fb:l and strife. We sea onco more thy garlands, That make the spring complete, And we hear again the music, Of thy daintily-sandaled feet. And the sweetly scented arbntus, Down in the field below, Tries with its fairy blossoms To mimic the wreathes ot snow. The apple trees are tilling The air with sweet permute. For to all their boughs are clinging, The clusters of scented bloom, ia. And the birds, w -n at plumage, That to wood aud field belong, Add to the gifts of springtime The glorious one ol song. And we think we hear them saying Throughout the livelong day, “Fraiee to the great Creator, For the beautiiul gifts ol May." ATLANTA ADVERTISEMENTS.
