It is reported that the negro troops of Savau
nah have “drawn three days’ ratlous and forty
rounds of cartridges,” fora forced march to Cuba
A kkfoutek of the Atlanta Herald has inter
viewed the baukersand prominent merchants of
that city. The report discloses the tact that very
few have beuu materially damaged by the panic.
Bill Arp of The Rome Commercial, says that
it the Columbus Enquirer has not lied in a certain
statement, then lie wished to be kicked out ot the
profession. Col. Calhouu would be unlike his
brother editors in the State, if he had not, lied.
Tub Atlanta Herald says:-
Col. Avery, thebr.ght man ot the Ccnstitution,
has gone to New Orleans, we understand, with a
view ot becoming interested in the management
ot the Picayune, of that city. We shall regret to
lose him from the ranks ot Georgia journalism.
and hope he will give up the idea of going.”
Tub fuuuy local of the Savaunah News says :
“ The champion oyster euter of Savannah is a
county constable. Hu put away five dozen iried
on TuanksgiviDg night, and kept them down with
a quart of lager.”
The Savannah News man says: “ Aspirant* for
poetical lame will undoubtedly go crazy with
envy after reading the lollowiug lines, dished up
by an amateur who scribbles on both sides of a
sheet ot paper: “ Brokers aud barbers ure some
thing alike, they both for your custom are cra
ving, both ot them know how to bleed to a charm,
srd both take a pleasure iu shaving.”
Tub News rn.m continues his pec. He nay*:
A colored damsel, who had a warrant issued
yesterday ugalust a dusky Lothario, was asked by
the constable where the mau was to be found.
Acer ponderiug awhile the tender Cushite re
plied : “ Dat dar mau gwiue to sot up wid de cor
pus ub his iuudder to-night, an you kin eotch him
right dar.” It is needless to say the constable
declined to undertake the Job of dragging a man
from the corpse of his mother, on such a charge,
and the dusky Lothario is still Irse.”
The Macon editor of the Atlanta Heraid, is re
sponsible lor the following: ** A good stoiy is told
on one of our well kuowu railroad men. lhe first
kick the late tornado got at his house, it knocked
off all his chimneys, and the second took sway
about halt his roof. ‘Billy, dailing, hadn’t
you better pray?’ ‘Me pray; no, wife, I don’t
know how.’ ’ But get down there and do the best
you can.’ Listening a minute, aud hearing the
balance of the roof land in the street, he got down
and said: ‘Oh, Lord! I never asked you fora la
vor belcre. I know a good many d—d rascals
wbo are calltug upon you every day tor articles
lb ydo not deai. Vf. J a*t let m out o: thi=

'iacou lV.’parimt uf of r A i.el
aid, we fii.d the 10, lowing stsange suggestions
about the death ot the uutortuuute Mi.L Malone:
It was generally talked on the streets yesterday
that the body of Milt. Malone was not in the box
said to eontaiu it. Men who bandied the box at the
depot said that if there was a body in it it was the
lighuet body they ever had anything to do with.
Then many discussed the “camons state” (what
aver that is), the state of suspended animation,
the case cf Shakespeare’s Juliet, the case of the
uiau being brought to life after being hanged in
Missouri a few years ago; and other cases, show
ing that it was possible for the body to have been
taacn from the jail alter the verdict of the coro
ner's jury, and by means of medical skill brought
to. Quite possible all this, but not at aU proba
ble.
The Savannah News of the 24'h says: “Me
learned last night, at a late hour, of a case of sus
pended animation, but were unable to gain the
particulars. From what we ascertained it appears
that a young lad, residing ia the vicinity ot the
Fort, named St&fiord, who had been seriously ill,
was given up by the attending pfciysician on
Thursday, and during the night died, its was sup
posed by the fatally aud those present. Prepara
tions were made for his burial, and all ariange
meuls were made ior his funeral, when yesterday,
to the great astonishment of every one, the lad
awoke and conversed with those who were
mourning at hla bedside, sad later in the day was
aeiting up in bed. We are unable to vouch entire
ly for the correctness of this, being nnabie to
trace the rumor personally, owing to the lateness
of the hour at which we heard it, but presume,
tor certain reasons, that U is reliable.”
The Acssoits of tlic Hour.
It Las been said*!!*’, two Fret chTamiHes could
• ive on tbe waste ot an American family in tbt
same rank of life. Whatever exaggeration chert
may be in this statement, it remains true that
Americans are the most wasteful people, in
tittle things, upon the earth. Wbat is obtained
easily is little valued, and as the means of snppart
are more readily and largely attainable with u;
than among the older nationalities, it Is Hot strange
that less attention is paid here to the steppage ot
small leaks. Those who have had an opportunity
of watching tbe careful supervision over trifling
outlays, the scrupulous avoidance of famishing
tables with an excess ol food, Dd the readiness
to dispute an overcharge which are so common
among even the wealthiest Europeans, can infer,
by a contrast with the practices of well to do
people Et home, tbe difference between the ways
of the respective natlonalties and its causes, the
grea er plentifulness ol articles of subsistence, and
the higher rate of wages which Americana tnjoy.
Whatever may be the origin of the existing
panic, and however long it may con inue, people
generally have experienced and apprehended
enough to become convinced that they are
called upon to be more ecomomical. Not only
those who yielded to the prevalent love of dis
play, and have ca ried their expenditures as pru
dent and saving, and convinced that still greater
trugality is neceesary. With these last, many of
whom feel that they have succeeded only by hard
work in leaving a fair margin on the credit side,
the disposition to lesson the pecuniary out-goe6
appears to have no possible field of exercise. Yet
even they, on looking over the items, will find
that not a small portion ot what they speDd is
devoted to supporting a position iu society which
ha3 been fancied to be necessary, and not to be
‘ssentials ol life.
The general lesson to all is prudence and frugal
ly. We have indicated that la a large portion
of cases there can be no great cutting ofl at one
point, and that a careful discrimination between
what is necessary and what is merely agreeable
is required for effectual retrenchment. Yet there
are many foolish habits never necessary, and at a
time like this almost, it not postively, criminal,
which should be the first to be lopped, though
they are likely to be the last. The Dayton
Journal supplies us some fact on this point
which arc painfully interesting. Iu that city of
39,000 inhabitants there are 540 bar rooms, which
consume, daily 9 barrels oi common whiskey, 400
kegs of lager beer, and as many of all. This es
timate does not include the finer qualities of
wnes and liquors which are used to a considers
• ble extent. Besides the above the local con
sumption of tobacco amounts to 15,000 cigars, 200
pounds of emoking and 150 pounds of chewing
obacco daily. After a careful study ot these fig
ures, tbe Journal ciphers out that the bsr-keeper,
at ten ct-uis the drink, gets 1300 for tbe barrel ot
whisky which cost him $43. There are 3,150 bat
tcls sold annually, which bring a total or $915,000
on an investment ot $12,000, thus yielding a
profit oi 700 per cent to the retailer. Reckon it g
the annual consumption of wheat per capita at
nine bushels which is about the average estimate
of statisticians. Dayton spends for whisky alone,
iu bar rooms, nearly one million dollars every 12
months, and for flour $452,000. For beer, $511,000
is expended in the same petiod, and 1C6.000 for
tobacco
Were the consumption of the “ luxuries” above
enumerated to cease at once no one in ;he place
would be the poorer except the persons who deal
in them, and hundreds of families would reap pe
cuniary benefit, to say nothing of improved mor.
als and diminished doctor’s bills. If a small city
makes such a fearful exhibit of waste, what could
be said of larger ones ? The fact that we are a
prosperous people In spite of such extravagance
in hurtful stimulants is a proof alike of the abun
dance of our resources and of the ease of a vast
curtailment in the expenditure of many house
holds.
We have discussed economy as if it were a ne
cessity to the financial soundness of a household.
But it has wider bearings. There may be many
on whom panics and business stagnation have lit
tle direct effect. We are surrounded, however,by
hundreds whose incomes are diminished, or who
are reduced to extremity by being thrown cut of
work. They can mske the retrenchments of the
former easier by setting them a graceful example,
and help the latter more generously by sparing
for tbeir sake, None can live entiiely to them
selves, be they never 60 selfish. Those who do
not do others good, by example or bounty, must
do them harm, for there is no neutrality in regard
to social obligations.
A Stkanoe Stout.—A lady who was some time
ago left a widow with a small family of children,
alter much tribulation succeeded iu bringing up
to manhood one sou, who proved himself able and
willing to be a support not only to tier, but to his
younger b others aud slaters. About a year after
becoming of age he was offered a lucrative posi
tion in the West, and emigrated thither, and set
tlirg there permanently, sooo married. New ties,
however, did not absorb cld nffeclious, and as he
prospered in his business he sent regularly to his
mother the means necessary for her support and
that of her family. The years passed on and
brought many changes ; but still regularly as the
quarter came, eo also did the ample remittance of
this model son and brother. When the tide of
emigration turned to the far West, this son was
carried with it to Omaha, where he invested his
earnings in town lots, which speedily rose in val
ue and made him a mau ol wealth. At least this
was the intelligence sent to his mother. Lately
while visiting Auburn, his parent was invited to
make the tour of the State Prison, and while pass
ing through the ward she accidentally encounter
ed oue whose presence caused her cheek to pale
end her beait to temporarily stop its beatisg. It
ess her 6on, her good and well beloved toy who
had for yeat3 been her pride aud sa. port; for a
moment she was spe-mule.-s, but at length burst
ug into a torrent o ; tears iu which the prisoner
joiued, said : “Oh, my son, my son ! How came
you here?” Ilis history being told developed the
act that he had, by trading with strangers, come
ia possession of large quantities of counterfeit
money, aud that in ignorance of its character, fie
being on a visit to New York, had attempted to
pass it; had been arrested as chief of a gang of
counterfeiter?, and having been identified os hav
ing eudeavored to circulate it, was, in spue of ell
evidence of previous good conduct offered, con
victed and sentenced to serve out a term iu the
State P;Uou. His wife, wiih whom he was in con
stant correspondence, had aided him in keeping
his incarceration a secret from his mother, and
had regularly remitted the quarterly allowance,
together with letters trom the prison by him But
for the unfortunate visit the mother weald have
remained forever unaware that her son was serv
ing out a penal sentence for a crime never com
mitted by him. She learned, however, that by
the rise of corner lots he had been made a wealthy
man, and when he should come out of prison, he,
through the skillful stewardship ofhis wife, would
find awaiting him the sum of not lesa than $200,000
in U. S. bonds. Such are the vicissitudes of life.
The Soldiers or Lee and Johnston.—Gener
al Hooker, ia tbe late reunion of the army of the
Cumberland, refened to the Confederate Army,
against which he had fought, ia these terms:
“ Search the world over, and you will not find
the like ot them. I have had the opportunity of
seeing tome of the armies of Europa since then—
the French, Prussian, Russian, and Austrian—and
I tell you It will be down hill work to fight them
compared with oar lata tom." 4
FORSYTH. GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING DECEMBER, 9. 18/3.
'lhe Maine oilAfe.
Go forth 1o the bHtfc <..i il'e, my hoy,
Go while it is can and io-day;
For tbe years go out aud years come in.
Regardless ol those Wuo may lose or win,
Or of those who may work or play.
And the troops march steadily on
To the srmy gone before;
Yon may hear tue sound ot their falling feet,
Gol;,g ciow n to the river where the two world's
meet;
They go to return no more.
There is room for you in the racks.
And duty, 100, assigned ;
Step into the froui wufc cheerful grace—
Be quick or another may take your place,
Aud you may be leit behind.
There ia work to do by the way
That you never can tread again;
Work for the loftiest, lowliest men—
Work lor the plow, spindle, adz and pen ;
Work for the hands and the brain.
The serpent will follow your steps,
To lay lor your feet a snare ;
And pleasure sits in fcr fairy bowers.
With garlands ot popaiesaud lotas towers
Enwreathing her golden hair.
Temptations wilt wait by the way,
Temptations withoutaDd within;
And the spirit ol evil with robes as fair
As the holiest angels in heaven wear,
Will lure you to deadly sin.
Then put on the armor of God
In tbe beautiful days of youth;
Pat on the helmet, breastplate and shield
And the sword that tbe feeblest may wield
In the cause of light and truth.
And go to the battle of life, my boy,
With the peace of the gospel shod—
And before high heaven do tne best you can
For the greet reward, for the good oi man,
For the kingdom aud crown of God.
The Stort of a Bag or Gold.—On the west
side of the street leading down from the Bluff
street bridge to the Union depot, in Kansas Ci
ty, stand a small frame house, which, before the
street was graded up, stood upon props or stilts.
It is called the Texas and Colorado saloon. Thi6
house has had a board nailed upon it for some
time, upon which was painted “House and furni
ture for sale.” A few days ago a stranger entered
the house after a brief coaversation with Louis
Mezzadie, the old Frenchman owning the saloon,
concluded the purchase, and yesterday afternoon
called upon the proprietor with witnesses to con
summate the trade. The terras of the trade were
these; The purchaser, Mr. Clew, was to pay Mez
zidre S7CO in cash for the house and all it con
tained, with the exception of Mezzadre’a trunk
and clothing. This agreement was repeated over.
It was now that the strange and singular part of
the transaction took place. The owner asked for
a hatchet, and, before any one could imagine
wbat he was about, to do, he walked to a certain
Place in the wall, known only to himself and pro
ceeded to chop away the plastering, and in a short
time dragged from behind the broken lath and
plaster a bag of gold containing $6,000. Before
the crowd present could realize wbat was the
matter or how this strange discovery was made,
the strange man had got on board of the Eastern
bound North Missouri train, then leaving the de
pot, and started East. The question naturally
suggests itself, whose money was it ? Who put it
there, and how did the stranger know of it? It
is one of the most singular tranactious in real es
tate ever brought to public notice in Kansas
City.
Sißce the above was written it has been discov
ered that the old Frenchman bad gold and Bilver
stored awsy in a keg beneath the house sufficient
to purchase the finest residence in Kinsas City.
An old servant states that the old miser had
brought this gold and silver with him from
Texas, where he had accumulated it suddenly and
in a most mysterious manner. Some say he ob
tained it on the Mexican frontier; others assert it
was the result of several years’ trading among the
Indians. But wherever he obtained it, he suc
ceeded in keeping his treasure a secret and paid
taxes on none of it. He is now on hie way to
France.
Old Memosies.—You can never forget them
The universe is full of them ; they are wafted to
you by every wind. You hear them in the falling
rains and rustling tree tops. They are sung by
the song birds of the wild wood, and are sounded
by the surgts of the sobbing sea. They look down
upon you from the star-beams cf a summer eve
ning, and they 6himmer through the locusts in the
cold moonbeams of a winter night.
Soft, sad, sweet, musical, melancholy, touching
and teuder, they come to you like echoes from
the sounding shores ot the river of time. They
subdue the restless soul, and they kindle the bet
ter feelings of one’s nature into a kinder affection
towards all of God’s creatures.
Every human heart is the grave ot by-gone days,
and forth from it into the present, old memo
ries come like phantoms iu imperfect and fanciful
resurrection, and the thoughts that they bring
with them are the most sacred and holy of our
lives. Thus do we worship our earthly idols long
after they have been Shattered and destioyed.
In life there are two great subdivisions, pro
spective and retrospective; one is the creation of
youth, the other the offspring of mature years;
one of them is the possibilities of the future, the
other the realties of the past; both are beautiful,
both are impossible with the present where we
stand in the middle of life, reaching both forward
and backward, and striving to grasp these fair and
fanciful forms in vain.
The last is dearest of all, because it is of things
that have been real. Their forms are imagined in
the soul when all our early expectations are
forgotten.
Keep It Up.—We clip rhe following from an
exchange—and on it hangs a tale:
“ Whenever a gentleman want? anything pub
lished, whether it interests the public or on'y an
individual, he is willing and will propose io pay.
Somebody must pay for it, and hcreatter it will
not be the pria tr. The Let that the pioposid
publication would interest the public has nothing
tc do with the question at issue. Newspapers are
private, no: public property. They are published
to make money for the owners, and if anybody
wonld use them they must pay the cost. Never
did we go to a merchant and get his goods tor any
pablic purpose without paying, and ir we and
hundreds of others—the public—employ a lawyer
about a atrect r or over the highway, we pay the
lawyer The dodge is very tiresome, very old,
and we hope to hear oi it no more forever. Lf
you want seme scheme ventilated, whether it in
terests yourself alone or thousands, you and your
thousands mast not expect us to pay the cost.”—
Mem phi* Appeal.
The too common practice of moaning over mis
takes, and bewalMng them constantly, and refer
ring to them all the evils that afflict us, is most
injurious to our future, and a great hindrance to
a real improvement of character. One of the chief
causes of mistakes in action is allowing impulse
rather than reason to control. Consequently it
Will be beat avoided by_ carefa.ly submitting im
pulses to tbe searching ordeal of reason before
acting upon them. Then if one is governed by
principle, aud steadfastly adheres to the rignt be
ia In possession of one of the best safeguards
against mistakes.
The Ordinary ot Chatham county refused to
grant a homestead and exemption to the wife, last
week, on the ground that the husband failed to
tarnish herself and children with a support—hold
ing that the act of 1868 only allowed this proceed
ing in cases of insolvency and where the property
m shout to be takes for debt. i
