THE MONROE Jigfc ADVERTISER GEORGK A. KING vol. xvm. Zt'Ju it-Umm FOB3YTH, TUESDAY. DEC., 9, 1873. Tue Indian Spticg Echo want* some lower cate k’s. The jtllow fever still continues to spread in Bainbridge. The death of Col. Dan. G. Hughes, of Twiggs county, is announced. Allen G. Jones, the bank defaulter of Savan nah, died in France last week. Atlanta is discussing a rousing Mardi Gras Festival, about the first of January. Folk prisoners escaped lrom jail in Lumpkin, lasi week, and are now at large. The failure of the Cuban war has disgusted many belligerent citizens of Macon. - ■ - Six car load* of wheat were sold in Atlanta to one firm firm, last week, at |l 80 per buahel. It is thought there is at this time more eotton stored in Atlanta than tver berore Its history. Several new cases of small-pox are reported in Macon, and the disease seems to be spreading. Dick General, colored, will be hung on the lttth of January in Low&des county. "*VValtek G. Charlton has been appointed So licitor-general, jrrolcm., of tbe Savannah Circuit. *The 27th ult. seems to have been more a day of accidents iu Savannah, than a day of I hanks giving. -—-■ The Agricultural and Mechanical Association, of Savannah, is reported to be in a healthy condi tion. The Savannah News says that fifty gin houses have been burned in the State, within the last sixty days. J. I. Parker, of Thomss county, had Dine hun dred bushels of corn burned last week by an in cendiary. Harris, of the Savaunah News, positively as serts that corn is selling at thirty cents a bushel iu Thomasville. —■ Col. Marion Bethlne, the Radical caudidati for Cougrtos from Talbot county, persists in con testing the election for his seat in that august body. D Jones performed a wonderful surgical op eration in Savannah, last week, on the eyes of a young man affected with strabismus. Four \oung men amend in Macon, lest week, who slated that they had waked from Savaunah— a distance of 196 miles— ui search ot employment —-- 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= . -J 1:i bok'Oßuly promise f.ev i o pester you te*. iV\ '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 “In G-od we Trust.” M ACO X A DYE HTISEME N TS. tTuiL FORD, WOOD & CCC ATLANTA AND MACON, GA.
