The Savannah News is publishing a serial entitled “What a wife can do.” The authoress fails to tell what a wife can do, and does not do —keep open door till the club breaks up; keep in a good humor when the husband is “compelled to go to the office;” keep buttons on shirts; keep —but the list is too long. A crowd of people who will throw in eight dollars to see a man in llesh colored tights walk a rope, will pan out about three shillings at a church collection. The reason of it is they think he is a heathen,and that he will fa’l and break his nrck, thus serving as a frightful testimonial (hat the way of the transgressor, aud the fall of the rope is hard.

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.

C. lie markable Hosts. 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 Chronicle. GAIXESVILLE, GA., Fit IDA Y MOB SUNG. MAY 2, 1879. 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 congresses, who committed suicide in a fit of delirium in the St. Charles Hotel, Washington, by stabbing hiftißeif in the abdomen aud then cuttiug his throat, September 10, 1840. Another representative from South Carolina, besides Blair, who commit ted suicide, was James D. Ashemore, who aflir serving several terms in the State senate, and subsequently as Comptroller General, was elected to the twenty-sixth congress irom the Green district, serving until De cember 21, 1800. The State having seceded at the breaking out of the war, be entered the confederate army, and committed suicide by blowing out his brains at Sardis, Miss., December 6, 1801. Elijah Hise, a representative in tbs thirty-ninth and fort.eth con gresses, committed suicide at Rus seHville, May 8, 1870. Hise wa3 the democratic candidate for Lieutenaut Governor of Kentucky in 1830, but was defeated; was Charge d’ Affaires at Gautemala from March 31, 1848, lo June 30, 1849; was Presidential Elector on the Buchauan and Breck enridgo ticket in 1857, and seived in congress from December 8, 1800, to March 3, 1809. John White is to be added to the list. He was born 1805; received an 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 ber 7, 1835, to March 3, 1845 was Speaker of the House during the twenty-seventh congress; was Judge of the nineteenth Judicial Circuit of Kentucky; committed suicide at Richmond, Kentucky, September 22, 1845. James G. Wilson, United States Senator from New Jersey, from De c-ember 4, 1815, to 1821, was severely injured in December, 1832, by im agining in a fit of deliiium that his house was on fire and throwiug him self from a second story window. Ha had been editor of the True American; Clerk for many years of the State House of Representatives; was appointed by President Monroe Postmaster at Trenton, and at the time of his fit of delirium wasa mem ber ot' the State House. William Ramsey, of Pennsylvania, is another congressman who died by 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 he was appointed by Secretary Chase, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Columbus district, was sub sequently detected in contraband cotton speculations, was found to be a defaulter, and committed suicide by taking poison on the grave of bis two children, at Columbus, Ohio, August 1, 1575. James Henry Lane, twic9 United States Senator from Kansas, serv ing up to 1860, committed suicide by shooting himself near Fort Leav enworth at the end of h ; s term of office. James S. Johnson, representative 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 North must either be veiy great ninnies or they are not doing the fair thing by the girls. We come to this conclusion because so many high toned girls are marrying men in low er stations of lift. The cases of Gov. Hubbard, of Connecticut, and of the young lady in New York who mar ried the car driver, are in point. And now another is added to the list. Miss Mary, daughter of the wealthy publisher, Wm. li. Townsend, has recently married her father’s coach man, Jim Weeks, She is said to be a stylish beauty of 27, while her Adonis is only 21, handsome and very poor, SMALL CITS.

Appear to better than you are, and aim to be what you appear. At all times confidence and truth are better preventives of jealousy than conct Jment. Words should be subordinate to ideas. We never place the pedestal on top of the statute. The motives which a mean man attributes to the actions of another, are the measures of his own. They who least shrink at the storms of fortune are always most virtuous and victorious in the end. Wo would gain more if we left ourselves to appear such as we are, than attempting to appear what we are not. He is happy whose circumstances suit Lis temper; but he is more eX$ cellent who cau sirt his temper to any circumstances. Many a man spends enough mouey on a single vice to biing up two children and give each of them a handsome dowry. The man who walks a “thousand miles iu a thousand hours” is more generally admired than he who walks uprightly through three score years and ten. “Don’t you think that a good like ness of me?” says the pretty wife to her husband. “Veiy good,” he an swers, “except that there is a little 100 much repose about the ,mouth.” No matter how good-natured a man may be, he will invariably get mad when he discovers that there is no towel in the room, and is com pelled to dry his face on the bed quilt. Every one ought to be busy, but no one ought to be too buAv to do Lis work well. An overworks man is like a plow of which we have heard, which turned up more than it could turn over. A’ Scotch parson said recently, somewhat sarcastically, of a toper, that he put an enemy in Ip's mouth to steal away his brains, but that the enemy, after a thorough and pro tracted search, returned without anything. “Keep way from dat nigger, I tell you,” said Uncle Rube to his sabie daughter; “keep ’way from him. He’s like what de Tostle John lived on iu de wild’ness.” “How’s dat ?” she asked. “Low cuss and wild hon ey,” replied Undo Rube. A Minnesota man found a beautiful young squaw almost frozen to death. He took her to his camp fire and tried to thaw her out. When she was a little molted he proposed mar riage and was accepted,> They are now 1. A pretty g.rl out West told her beau that she was a mind-reader. “You don 't say so !” he exclaimed. “'Can you read what is in my mind ?” She replied: “Yes; you have it in your mind to ask me to be your wife, but you are ju3t a little scared at the idea.” Their wedding curds are out. When you wake up at night and hear the baby crying, look out for danger—for there is a rock ahead.— Minneapolis Tribune. And a squall upon you. —Boston Tost. And a spanking breeze. — N. Y. Graphic.

Waggs went to a station of one of our railroads the other evening, and finding the carriage fall, said iu a loud voice, “This carriage don’t go.” Of course these words caused a gen eral stampede, and Waggs took the best seat. The carriage soon moved off. In the midst of the indignation the wag was questioned: “You said this cirriage didn’t go.” Well, it didn’t then, but it does now.” Of course the “Sold” laughed, and said Waggs was smart. Mr. B, comes to be the victim of an accident, and as they are placing him on a shutter to carry him up stairs from the hack, he summons the seivant girl and tells her: “Hurry up stairs and let my wife know about this accident to me, but don’t give her a shock—put on a cheerful face while you pre telling her.” The faithful domestic discharges her mission with enthusiasm, and re marks huskily: “My master sent me—he ! he ! he ! —to tell you that—ha !ha! ha ! —he had—ho! ho! ho!—he had—(there, I’ve burst my stay lace) —he had—it was too funny, I’ve laughed till my sides are sore—he had broken his leg—ho !ho !” (Rolls over upon the carpet in exstasies of laughter. Ah, yes, the New Orleans Picayune is quite right on the question of total depravity. It says that cd one side human nature is excessively selfish, while on the other side it is wonder fe’ly generous. A small boy, o:" course, exhibits both sides to per fection. If he finds—this small boy has a peculiar and happy knack at finding what he wants—a luscious ripe watermelon for instance, he at once becomes intensely selfish and steals away with his piize to a distant corner of the field, and there, under the friendly shelter of the fence, con sumes tne fruit. But the next day, onthsit fatal morrow which laughs in its sleeve to think that it always comes but is never wanted, when that boy’s physical economy resem bles the terrestrial region of earth quakes, and when, though he doesn’t want to be an angel, he is neverthe less afraid that he will die, and when the nauseous drug is presented, the generous side of his nature opens up all at once, and he is quite willing, nay, even anxious, not only to give a part of it, but all, even to the last drop, to his only sister. 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! Shall it be done ?— N. Y. Sun 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. — Lqopincott’s Magazine. 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 This over the Liuisyille man, as they fell back from the bar, said solemnly to the barkeeper, “Charge it!” — Stockholder.
