Thk Telegraph and Messenger says the Findlay brothers are now engaged In manufacturing a number of new settees for Central City Park, and they are by far the handsomest seats we have ev er seen. Chahlks Boswildbbald, who disappeared so mysteriously from Macon, a abort time ago, has been found. The Coroner’s inquest found that he came to his death by hanging himself. Thk Thomaston Herald says : A few weeks ago we published the death of an old man, who re sided not very far from Thomaston, 94 years of age. In the year 1870, an old couple died in this county, the man we understand was 103 and his wife 100 years old. We noticed on our streets a few weeks since, Mr. Henry Butts, who is 93 years of age. A few miles above this town lives Mr. Thomas Green, aged 83 or 84. This gentleman often gets to Thomaston before onr mercharta get from their breakfast. Nothing is more common than to meet active men from 75 to 80 yea> ot age In this part ot the Bute. Thk Macon Telegraph and Messenger of the sth gets up the following Ingenious apology for scar city of loeal Items: “ Amid such an epidemic oi dullness, there are very few occurrences which are calculated to eu llven the city columns of a newspaper; hence, it then by some considerable signs of dullness in this department of the Telegraph aud Messenger, the reader muat attribute them to accidents that will not happen, rather than to any disinclination to hunt np and write up accidents. One cannot makes full salt oat of cloth enough to make only a pair of pantaloons, nor can a barrel of flour be ground out of four bushels of grain." Thk Atlanta Herald of the Ist Instant says: “ This morning and hereafter it la demanded by the great and good government under which we live that newspapeia shall pay postage upou each one of its exchanges. We merely allude to it to day to aay that the editor* of the Hbbald feel that they cannot welt spare any oi their State Ex changes, and that they will cheerfnliy pay postage go all of their present list ot exchanges rather than give np any one of them. Apd we trust that with each aud every one ot them we shall have (91 maqy a year that same pleasant and cheerful intercourse that has existed in the put, We caa all prosper yet, brother editors, despite this mean little law. It was passed by a revenge ful Congress because the Press forced the abolition of the franking privilege- and we are perfectly willing to ataad u. Rumors. Madame Rumor Is a very unreliable creature, yet she has more believers than the Christian re ligion. Her faintest whispers are to teas of thou sands the trumpet blasts of truth. It is strange, bnt as true as it is strange, that the more ex travagant and unreasonable her reports Is, the greater is the confidence placed in her word. There are tens of thousands who believe every bad report, and shake their heads with grave sus picions over every good ofte. They are quick to place rascality and hypocrisy to the credit of their neighbors, but are alow to cancel them when fact* disapprove them. We see this illustrated daily. The tongue of idle gossip star s a base slander about some public character. It is caught up and retailed as truth. Not a particle of evidence goes with It, yet it is believed, and when evidence to disapprove it follows, people handle it cautiously and look over it for some flaw or coulrudictioo, hoping to And some plausible ground ou which to reject it, and thus confirm their worst suspicious True, this public character may have stood before the public gaze a score ol years without a blemish or a tault, hut a single breath of slander destroys in an hour the confidence which years of honora ble toil have inspired. This is wrong! A good reputation should be a shield to the man or woman who wears it. It should entitle them to the fullest measure of pub lic confidence, until rumor takes the form of facts. We should not call upon them to prove a nega tive, but demand from the accuser positive proof that what is charged is true. Nor should respec table journals cireulate thiß miserable gossip that is born of envy or malace. A single line in type may efleet an injury that can never be repaired. Better ignore all rumors that affect personal char acter than to be a party to a wrong. If a rumor is true ycu can afford to wall for its confirmation. If it la false, It should never be strengthened by your influence. Trifles.—Our livee, or rather our happiness and misery, are in a great measure made up of trifles; just as time is made up of moments. The discomfort of having to wait for a meal beyond its regular hour, of finding things ill-prepared or carelessly done, of meeting slovenliness and dis comfort where a little thoght or pains might have introduced ease and even elegance, or of be ing brought up sharp at every turn by want of punctuality or of method—these are ilia more dif ficult to bear than the unitiated imagine. Most houses might be comfortable and elegaut. Yea elegant! For comfort consists in finding pvery tbing where and as it should be ; elegaucex in ad ding to what should be there, that which izced not be there, but whose presence, surprises, attracts and gratifies. There is ofteu neither comfort nor elegance in the richest mansions, while both are found iu the laborer’s cottage. A jug filled with flowers, a neat white curtain, a couple of flower pots, may effect what the expenditure of hun dreds of dollars has not achieved. Let it not be said that these are mere trifles, unworthy the at tention of a Christian. Distrust the pretence of spirituality whose eyes are too lofty for the com mon things of life. Iu the long catalogue of things of life ; in the long catalogue of the things to “think on” (Phil, vi, 8) they rank at any rate among the “whatsoever things are lovely.” You say they are trifles; tbeu all the more they ought not to be neglected But trifles though they be, to neglect them is not a trifle it is a breach of plain duty. —Heat th Jb Home. — Lee and Jackson at Chickahomint.— The Edinburg Review for April contains the follow ing Interesting piece ot history in relatiou to Gen. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, at the battle of Chio ahomiuy: “ A few minutes more, and the gallant soldier lilmself appeared ou the scene aud rode up to greet Lee, cheered by Longstreet’s men, already veterans enough iu war to understand wbal bis coming meant. Nothing, it has beeu said, of this first meeting of these great soldiers ou the battle field could be iu more striking contrast than the appearance of the two. Haudsome in face and figure, finely mounted, a graceful rider, calm-vis aged and carefully dressed, Lee pieseuted the beau ideal ol the commander whose outward bear ing always captivated the soldier's eye. His fa mous lieuteuant rode, apparently by choice, an ill-groomed, rawbonod horse, and sat so short stliruped as to give his figure the moat awkward appealauce. An old cadet’s cap, evidently a relic of the college professorship he had uot long since left, wsß drawn over his eyes. His coat was not only threadbare, but* ill-brushed, and bis words were jerked out iu short, abrupt seutenccs, be tween which he sucked the lemon which was, as usual, his sole relreshmeut during his day’s worn. Yet each already understood the other, and valued him at his true worth. “ That’B a heavy fire down yonder,” said Lee, as the Federal guns opened in reply to Jackson’s. “Can your men stand it?” “ They can s f and anything. They can stand that.” was the emphatic reply; and after a few words of order aud explanation be left his chief to lead on the attack. This was decisive, aided as it was by a fresh advance troops not before engaged. The Federals were turned, overmatched, and driven from their positiou, and before dark the shattered remains ol Porter’s force were crossing the Chick abomiuy in hasty retreat. Lee’s field of battle, in fact, was a striking success, and as well earned as any of the more famous victories in after days, which have been so wiuAly studied and so often extolled. No word henceforth from his Govern ment of any want of confidence in his powers, or fear of his over-caution. From that hour he be came the most trusted as well as the most noted General of the Confederacy. As to his soldiery, his hardy bearing, tree self-exposure, and constant presence near their ranks, completed tbe influence gained by that power of combining their force to advantage, which they instinctively felt without fully understanding. From mau to man flew the •tory of the hour. The subtle Influence of sym pathy which wius many hearts for one, was never more rapidly exercised. Like Napoleor, his troops soon learned to believe him equal to every emergency that war could bring. Like Hannibal, be could speak lightly and calmly at the gravest moments, being himself least grave. Like Rag lan, he preserved a sweetness of temper that no person or circumstances could ruffle. Like C sar, he mixed with the crowd of soldiery freely, and never tested that his positiou would be for gotten. Like Blucher, his one-recognized fault was that which the soldier readily forgives—a readiness to expose his lite beyond the proper limitations permitted by modern war to the com madder-in-chief. What wonder, then, if he thence forward commanded an army In whleh each man would Lave died (or him; an army from which his parting wrung tears mors bitter than any tbe (all of their cause could extort; an army which followed him, after three years of glorioua vicissitudes, luto private life, without one thought of further resistance against tbe fate to which their ad red chief yielded without a murmur.” A raw years since there was a Presbyterian minister at Columbus, Miss., who had a horror ol shoutiug in church, which fact was well known to his congregation. Cjne dqf, step he had preached a very spiritual sermon, au old lady was observed to leave thechqrcfi in a very hasty manner. Meei iug her a few days after, the minister asked why she had rushed from the church so suddenly urn Sunday before. "Wall." she responded, "the fact is, I was ao filled with grace ip listening to your arrtpoa, that I toned 1 couldn’t contain my aelt, so I ran over to ths Methodiat church the way and shouted.” FORSYTH, GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING JUNE 10. 1873. My Choice. Yes, I know there are stains on my carpet— The traces of small, muddy boots; Aud I see yonr fair tapestry glowing All spotless with blossoms and fruits. And I know that my walls are disfigured With prints ot small fingers and hands ; And I see that your own household whiteness All fresh in its purity stands. Yes, I know my “ black walnut” is battered, And denied by mauy small heels ; While your own polished stairway all perfect Its smooth, shining surface reveals. Aud I know that my partor is littered With many old treasures and toys ; While yonr own is in daintiest order. Unharmed by tbe presence of boys. And I know that my room is invaded (Juite boldly all hours'of the day ; While you sit iu your own unmolested, And dream the soft quiet away. Yes, I know I have jackets that wear out, And buttons that never will slay ; While you can embroider at leisure, And learu pretty arts of “ croquat.” And I kuow there are lessons of spelling, Which I must be patient to hear; While you may sit down to your novel, Or turn the last magazine near. Yes, I know there are four little bedsides Where I must stand watchlul each night, While you may go out iu your carriage, And flash in your dresses so bright. No! keep your fair home, with its order, Its freedom trom trouble and noise; And keep your own faucitul leisure— But give me my four splendid boys. Tee Grand Arm? of tub Republic.— The Co lumbus Enquirer has struck tbe key-note ou tbe above named organization, for which all patriots entertain feelings of disgust and contempt. Every word should be endorsed; “A more unmanly, mean and cowardly resolu tion waa never passed by even a pack of political bummers than this; and, if we were not fully ac quainted with this mystical organization, we might raise our bands in holy horror and bluab for the manhood ol our race and the ex-aoldtera of the army. “The Grand Army of the Republic was organ ized seven years ago in Illinois, and the iutentiou of its founders was to make it a charitable associ ation, to which soldiers of both parties could be long and mutually aid in care of those left destitute by the war. It worked well enough for a few years and then old soldiers began to fight shy ot It, for they found that it was made the machine to elevate political soldiers into office; and duriug the last four years its ranks have been depleted by good men, and now it is controlled completely by these soldier politicians who are principally distinguished by their ignorance ot war and their familiarty with the strategy of politic* and the counting of election returns. The whole “ Grand Army” does not number throughout tbe entire Un ion twenty thousand men, though fifteen hundred thousand soldiers were mustered out of the U nion service at the close of the war. We knew whereof we speak, know the men, their ritual oft changed, their individual names and records, and in the name of the true men and brave, who fought for what they deemed right, we hereby denounce the organisation known as “ Tbe Grand Army” as a political fraud, an aggregation of bummera who, fearing the rebel living, now like hyenas, gather to snarl above the dead. If we had been Confed erates this would seem barsb to Northern ears, but we truly fought for the Union, starved for it, and did our duty as God gave us light. Nay, more, we commanded, in its purity, the largest department of this grand army, aud feel author ized iu saying that the dregs that now constitute li are the cowards and poltroons of war, and the repeaters, snobs and little politicians of peace. They fear trouble, if the friends of the Confeder ate dead gather ou tbe 30th of May to decorate the graves of the fallen ? The poor fools, they may have women and children to oppose them ; there would be no trouble if men stood in their front.” A Brave Orator.—From the Atlanta Consti tution we clip tbe following: “ We have told our readers how the decoration of the Federal dead at Arlington was decreed by the Federal authorities to be conducted ou tbe basis of exclusion of all honor to tbe Confederate dead lying there. The matter has evoked sema stinging comment and dissent from many and high source* North and West. But the most eloquent condemnation came from tbe brave orator who delivered the address at Arlington on the day of the decoration. The address was a magnificent one, and the speaker, an eminent and well known divine, Mr. De Witt Talmage. “ Speaking of the Grand Army of the Republic, that bad declared the memorial ostracism of the Southern dead, and speaking of the President and officials that had indorsed the said ostracism to the extent of restriction, the day for Federal com memoration, the eloquent and courageous ora tor thus rebuked tbe ostracism and its perpetra tors : “Let nothing be done to s'ir up the old feud between tne North and South. Surely there has been blood enough shed and groans enough have been uttered and families enough destroyed to satisfy the worst man on earth and the worst demon in the pit; and if, among the holocaust of the dead, any hand, North or Boutb, shall ever be lifted to tear down z peace established at so much sacrifice, may that hand turn white with the snow of an in curable leprosy. Instead of flowers upon such a villain’s grave let the who e nation come and fling z mountain of nettles snd nightshade. lam told that after a Southern woman had decorated the grave of a Southern soldier a Northern man, wear ing a uniform, took up the wreath and threw it to the winds. He may have had on the epaulettes, but he was unworthy of the name of soldier. I would that all the wreaths that have ever been laid upon the graves of the Northern and South ern dead might be lifted and linked together, each garland a link, and that, with that one long bright, pleasant chain, * A CHAIN OF ROSES AND LILIES, this whole nation might be encircled in everlast ing uuity and good feeing. This is the only kind ol chaiu Americans will ever conser t to wear and woe to the government that ever tries to forge another.” ’ * Thk White Modoc Chief.— The Cincinnati En quirer gives the following about Joaquin Mil ler and his connection with the Modocs: It may not he generally known that a few yeara ago— somewhere about ISSS, probably—the head chief of the Modoc Indians was a white man, who bad joined the tribe, and tak6n to himself, "for better or worse, ’* a dusky maiden of the Modoc persua sion, with whom be lived and loved for some ye are. This head cheit was no h-ea a person than the now celebrated Oregon poet, Joaqnin Miller. Wnile reigniug as clieif of this warlike band, probably to more securely establish hia title to the chelftainship and gain the fullest confidence of his adopted brothers, the red-skins, he concoct ed ths diabolical plan of attacking and sacking the city of Yreka, California. Joaquin himself visited Yreka and examined the approaches and cbaoces of an easy capture. Consumption of Rick.—Statistics show that the amount ol foreign rice consumed iu thia coun try has fallen from ninety two million pound* In IStH to twenty eight million pounds in 18T0. Add tug the domestic product to the latter figures wa find tbetoUi consumption to baa trifie less than one hundred million pounds. The domestic crod it estimated at about seveu’y five million pound*, and the domestic export at less than two million pounds. Down to 1861, or at the time the war broke out, the Uoited States was a large ex porter of rice, the amount varying from 43,000,- 000 to 81,000,000 pounds per annum daring the , tea yean immediately preceding. “In Grod we Trust.** ATLANTA ADVERTISEMENTS.
