The Augusta Presbytery
This bodv met in Milledgevillo,
Ga on Wednesday, the lGch nit., at
7:30 p. m , in the Presbyterian
church,and was opened with a sermon
by the last Moderator, Rev. T. P.
Cleveland.
Rev. R. It vine, D. D., of Augusta,
was cliostn Moderator, and Elder
J. H. Latimei, of Lexington, tempo
rary clerk. The attendance was not
as good as ordinary, several minis
ters being absent and a number of
Churches unrepresented.
ArnoDg the items of business trans
acted, the new book of Church gov
ernment and discipline was adopted
by the body almost unanimously, and
from present indications the vote of
a large number of the Presbyteries
will be in favor of the book, and it
will no doubt be adopted by the next
General Assembly, which meets next
month in Louisville, Ivy.
Rev. Dr. Jas, Woodrow Ruling
Elder Col. t T. A. Biliups, of MudTson,
were elected commissioners to the
General Assembly.
Gainesville was chosen as the place
of next meeting; the time will bo
Tuesdey before the fourth Sabbath
ni next October—a day and a half be
fore the meeting of Synod.
A committee was appointed to or
ganize anew Church in Augusta, the
building being already prepared for
holding sei vices.
Tbo executive committee on the
Benevolent Schemes of the Church
reported; the Church records were
examined; a narrative of the state of
religion within the bouuds of Pres
bytery adopted; and much other rou
tine business transacted, in great
harmony,
Auother season of social exchange
of views and pleasant intercouse has
passed, with ouly one thing to mar
the pleasure, and that a judicial cose,
which was conducted with great so
lemnity and equity. The people of
Milledgeyille are conspicuous for
their hospitality. Tne city, even in
her disappointment, has much public
spirit, and I for one, Mr. Editor, do
think and feel that the State of Geor
gia owes to that people and to her
own interests a speedy utilization of
the capitol building. It does seem
that Georgia could and should estab
lish there either a normal school for
the training of teachers, or a poly
technic school, which would, of
course, embrace the military and
agricultural department It also
seems to me that the Atlanta papers
might (and ought to) greatly aid in
the consummation of thn, by bring
ing the matter, in the"- columns
promptly before the jr ople.
Let me Gate in mr.elusion that I
left on Saturday evening, *but the
Sabbath set .ices,among which would
be a communion sermon by the Mod
erator, Dr. l.’ne, and common ser
vices led by 1’ ;v. F. T. Simpson, a
mass meeting of Sabbath Schools,
and a mass meeting to consider the
subject of the Christian Sabbath and
its observance, promised to be most
instructive and interesting. T. P. C.

A gentleman who visited much on
horseback was always followed by his
dog which he sometimes lost. The
dog at these times would visit all the
houses his master frequented, enter
the stables, aud not finding the horse
would go to some of tho servants look
up in their faces and wag his tail as
it to ask if his master had arrived.
The servants on answering in the
negative, he would scamper off to an
other house and go through the same
form. After visiting all the houses
he has sometimes found his master
ten miles from home.
A ship captain had docked his ves
sel, and was ia his cabin making up
his wages account when bis dog came
bounding down the companion-way
aud commenced barking and pulling
him by the coat. Suspecting some
thing was wrong, he followed the dog
on deck. The dog rushed forward
to where the men were packing their
bags, and immediately commenced
tugging and hauling a seaman’s bag.
The captain called the men, had eve
rything turned out of the bag and
found a neat coil of rope at the bot
tom. The same dog was stolen
shortly' after, and the vessel had to
proceed to sea without him. When
going down the channel the captains
attention wes drawn to the loud
barking of a dog on board another
vessel, also outward bound, near his
own. This turned out to be his lost
dog, who had recognized his old
home.
A. dog frequenting a lady’s house
picking up and ends, was taken
in and fed by her. Next day, on
opening the door, the lady discover
ed a dog with an egg in his mouth,
which he placed on the door and w’as
given food. The next day he agaia
brought to pay for his dinner, but ou
the fourth day ho brought the hen
herself, who, it appears, had failed to
furnish the required egg. This dog
at least was honest and showed a
desire to pay for his board.
A gentleman had occasion to take
a sea voyage. About six months
afterwards he wrote to his friends to
expect him at a certain date. The
day previous to his expected arrival
his friends missed his favorite dog,
but what was their surprise to find
that his dog had met him on the
pier on his arrival off' the vessel.
The distance from his home to the
arbor is seventeen miles, and the dog
had never been at the place
before. When the letter from the
gentleman was read the dog was ly
ing ou the hearth rug and pricked
up his ears at the mention of his
master's name; but that he should
have known the date and place of ar
rival is indeed strange. —Newcastle

American Consresmeu wlto
Have Committed Suicide.
Riddle’s surcide is simply the iast of
a list which begins with the founda
tion of the government. His is
similar, in tome respects, to that ot
James Blair, a representative from
South Carolina, in the twenty-first,
twenty-second and twenty-third con
gresses. During the first session of
the twenty-third > ingress Blair at
tended the Washington Theatre one
night, aud, being displeased with the
actars, fired a loaded pistol at them,
for which he was arrested and fined
$5. Physicians testified that he was
under the influence of brandy and
opium, taken to alleviate pain from
chronic rheumatism. Three weeks
afterwards, April 1, 1834, he blew
out his brains with a pistol at his
boarding house, on Capitol Hill.
Similar, in many points of the
case, was that of Felix G. McConnell,
a representative from Alabama, in
the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth

academic education; studied law;
was admitted to the bar, aud prac
ticed at Richmond, Ky., was elected
a representative from Kentucky iu
the twenty-fourth congress -as a
whig, without opposition, and wi’s
successively rc-elected to the Lwonty
fiflh, twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh
and twenty-eighth congresses with
out opposition, serving from Decem

the State House of Representatives;
was appointed by President Monroe
Postmaster at Trenton, and at the
time of his fit of delirium wasa mem

his own hand. Born in 1810, he was
attached to the American Legation
at London under Minister Steven
son; was elected a representative
from Pennsylvania in the twenty
sixth congress as a Van Buren
democrat, serving from December 2,
1839, to October 18, 1840, and re
elected to the twenty-seventh con
gress. A few weeks afterwards he
committed suicide at Barnum’s Ho
tel, Baltimore, by shooting himself
in the right eye.
John Ewing, of Indiana, was found
dead iu his room at Vincennes, Ind ,
iu December, 1857. He had been a
representative iu the twenty-third
and twenty-fifth congresses, serv
ing until 1839, and had previous
ly served in the Stat 9 Senate. On
his table was found the following
epitaph, apparently just written by
himself:
Here lies a man wlio loved his friends,
His God, his country, and Vincennes,
A mournful and tragic suicide was
that of Alfred P. White, of Ohio.
White had been a repreeentativ-- in
the twenty-eighth congress, and
State Treasurer, appointed to fill a
vacancy caused by the removal of
Treasurer Gibbs for fraud. In 18G2

from Kentucky in the twenty-first
congress, committed suicide, while
suffering under mental depression
caused by ill health, at Owensboro,
Ky , Feb. 12, 1873.
The wealthy young men of the

has a peculiar and happy knack at

Is Grant to Stand Above Wash
ington?
No man has ever yet lived whom
the American people were willing to
mnke their President a third time.
While it is to the peculiar credit of
Washington that at the close of his
second term, Ee voluntarily retired
from public Mfe, we believe, at the
same time, it r generally conceded,
as an historical fact, to have been
very questionable whether he could
be elected a third time. A frequent
return of power to the people L orn
whom it is derived was a doctrine in
which the founders of the republic
devoutly beijeved; because they con
sidered it the only sure way to guard
the liberties of the people against en
croachments.
Rotation in office is rather au ele
mentary principle iu our system of
government than a watchword oi' auv
political party.
The second President of the Uni 1 ed
States, John Adams, one of the most
eloquent and fiery of ail the original
apostles of Jiberty, was allowed to re
tain thp.i-xdce only for a single„ tecmu
„ Jefferar author £* ‘ h "> jJ,
ration orOiiepencleiice, did not at
tempt A' m a third time, retiring in
an honesvpoverty, which added to
the glory of a great name.
Madison, than whom perhaps no
man did more iu establishing our
system of selfgovernment, followed
the example of his illustrious prede
cessors in declining to be a candidate
for n third term.
So did Monroe, although there
was so little of party’ spirit in his
time that it was called the era of good
feeling.
John Quincy Adams w s warned
on entering into office, that though
his administration were as pure as
the angels around the throne God, it
must terminate at the end of four
years; and it did.
Andrew Jackson was backed by a
party,of devoted admirers, who insis
ted on running him fir a third term;
but wXh some show of indignation
at the bare idea Old Hickorv put his
foot down firmly and said No.
Grant has already served two
term-'. Now it is proposed to elec
him tea third, to place him above
the mighty men who laid the fouada
tions of the Government, above
Wascngtou himself!

The Dangerous Girl.
Bui now, at last, let us come to thn
real “dangerous girl”—the girl who
seems by some flue fitness to walk
into the empty room in a man’s heart
which has never been opened to an
other woman and take up her abode
there: . “She is just as high as my
heart,” Orlando says of Rosalind, and
there can be no more accurate meas
nut mr a iuver s uaLght iu l -
sweetheart She fits him, she suite
him. She may not be pretty, she
need not bo clever; she may bo both
ofdhesa things in a remarkable dt
and a ball-room belle b side,
n’u> miliiu v’-: ar.
intV tiae bargain. But she has a
gift, over .md beyond ail these which
rentiers all others subordinate. She
way of listening which makes
the most reserved muu eloquent, and
her little speeches never audacious
and rarely brfiiant, have yet some
thing tenacious about them, and
cling to his memory when he sits
over his fire by night or goes about
his daily work Then her face, her
distinct and vivid personality, pur
sues him; it. is the girl herself, not
her bangles nor her flounces, that he
remembers. It seems natural to him
that La is thus taken posession of
and held captive. No matter how
cold he may have been heretofore, he
now becomes ardent, warm-hearted
and rash. He may have admired a
pretty girl with her furbelows and
flounces and her nice perception of
the most becoming; be may have boen
a little heavy hearted over the sump
tuous beauty of the belle, and have
enjoyed the’society of the clever girl
who saved him the trouble of doing
all the talking, being able to do it
herself so much more brilliantly.
But this hankering after private fe
licity, this fervid be’ief in attainable
happiness, this large faith in the fu
ture which marriage may assure to
him, only followed his acquaintance
with the “dangerous girl,” who upset
his boasted ideas of independent en
joyment, overturned all his precon
ceived notions of bachelorhood and
set him longing to be engaged. Un
til he saw her he said with Benedick.
“One woman is fair, yet L am well;
another is wise, vet I am well; an
other virtuous, yet I am well; but till
all graces come into one woman, one
woman shall not come into my grace.

Alt Effect of Rivalry.
Cincinnati and Louisville used to
be,and perhaps still are, livals for
the trade of the region which their
location makes common ground.
The “drumm.ers of either city fre
buently came in contact on their
travels. One night a party of each
were casually assembled in the bar
room of a hotel, indulging ia dnuks,
joking between whiles at the preten
sions of their city rivals.
“Now,’’ said a Cincinnati man,
when the evening had worn on and
hilarity was at its height, “I invite
you to take a drink in the Lauisvrm
fashion.”
The party stood up to tiie bar and
drank off their drinks, wheu tho Cin
cinnati man laid down a dime in
payment, the piiee of a drink for
one.
“How’s this?” said the barkeeper.
“This,” said the Cincinnati man,
‘ is the Louisville style in which I in
vited the paity to drink. I pay for
mine; each one of the pays for his.
Presently a Louisville man asked
the company to take a drink in the
Cincinnati fashion. They came up
smiling, and each poured oft his drink
to the health of Cincinnati with
thanks to their Louisville entertainer

The constitutional convention, of
Louisiana, met on the 24th, and was

carpetbaggers.
Fayette county, Ky., has a beauti
ful young lady of sixteen who is
equal to Dr. Catver in rifle-shooting.
With an old-fashioned squirrel rifle
she recently shot two black birds out
of the top-of a tree and two owls
through, the head.
It is said of . Sir Isaac Ne wton’s
nephew, who was a clergyman, that
he always refused a marriage fee,
saying in a tone of pleasantry, “Go
your way, poor children, I have done
you mischiet'fenougn already without'
taking your money.”
A Nevada surgeon is in trouble
through trying to improve a woman’s
nose. Sue had broken it when a
child, and the mishap had left it in a
slightly crooked condition. The sur
geon bargained to straighten it, and
attempted to do so by breaking it
anew. The operation left the nose
in a worse shape than it was before.
The woman now sues for SIO,OOO
damages,
The Albany Argus says: ’The
country has done fur the negroes, as
a class, a l l it means to do. There is
no political avail in the negro ques
tion for either party. Equal laws
aud equal rights are his, and any
concern or consideration, for or
against him as a separate class, has
ceased. Tim ‘exodus’ experiment on
Northern feeling would have failed,
if there had been full cause for at
tempting it. Thero being no cause
for it, it has worse than failed.’
Gray, who attempted to assassin
ate Booth, says he fired directly at
the tragedian and wonders greatly
that he missed him; regrets the fail
ure eveu more than he wonders at it;
says he has accomplices back of him,
and that Booth will yet suffer; came
hero for the express purpose of killing
Booth. The opiuiou expressed by
the attaches of the theatre aud others
who saw him, is that Gray is crazy.
He fired two shots, snapped the pis
tol again, and was cocking it again
when seized. He was bound over
under a $20,000 bond, but failing to
give it went to jail.
New York has had a sensation of
this character: Miss Minnie Phil
iii; :, daughter of a millionaire lumber
rnorchannt of Philadelphia had visit
ed a huly friend, in New York, where
a mutual attachment sprang up be
tween her and her friend’s brother, a
young man named WiZiimn Hdlatsou,
When she returned home Hillatson
followed and asked her father’s con
sent to their marriage, but was re
fusr and. Thereupon, the young people
eloped and were married, and after
ward made their way to Now York
arraiu, but in a short while the young
wife was abducted from her hus
band's home, it is supposed, by her
father and mother. The detective’s
were set to work to find her.
A dispatch from Washington sayt-
The secret service has come into pos
session of one of the most remarkable
counterfeits that has ever been dis
covered. It is a bogus tweuty-dollar
United States legal-tender note, and
is calculated to deceive a person ac
customed to handling notes of that
denomination. What makes it so re
markable is that the work on the
uota is executed with pen and ink.
All the intricate figures and curves,
all the heads, the seal, the fine en
graving work, and even the fiber in
the p iper, are almost perfectly coun
terfeited by pen and ink. The sig
natures of John AllisoD, formerly reg
ister of the treasury, is almost exact,
while that of John C. New, formerly
treasurer, is perfect. The whole bill,
back and face, is a wonderful piece of
pen work. •
