Editors Constitution: As the
very naino of Alexander 11. Ste
phens “tarts a patriotic thrill in the
heart of every true Georgian, I am
sure you will publish, and your
numerous readers will peruse
anxiously, any reliable account of
his present condition. Although
he doesn't now seem to be suffer
ing from any excruciating pain, he
is greatly annoyed with a severe
cough which, for the past two or
three weeks, has weakened and con
fined him to his bed. In the after
noon during this time, he h is suf
fered also with fevers which have
raised his pulse thirty or forty
beats per mir.ute above its normal
number, liis great sociability of
disposition betrays him into con
versation oftentimes, which excit
ing his bronchial tubes, causes him
to cough and expcctorato, when il
lie would remain silent, t lie re would
be no such injurious effects, Bn
the lively interest lie feels and will
ever feel as long us he retains a
spark of life, in the welfare of his
friends and country, prevents him
from keeping silent, and disregard
ing the numerous letters and news
papers which ho receives by every
mail. When a letter or piijaer is
read to limii, ho at once comments
upon it, and this sets him to cough
ing and expectorating. His mail
which is varied and. extensive, seems
to he almost necessary to his exis
tence, Hut for this idiosyncrasy of
his constitution which requires
more of mental than material fond.
I would be of the opinion that he
would be benefit ted if Ins friends
were debarred Ins presence and his
mails withheld.
Mr. Stephens himself says, he
thinks that his afternoon fevers
arc hectic, and lie seems apprehen
sive that his sickness will eultni.i
ate in consumption. His physician,
l)r. Steiner of Augusta, says that
his lungs are not at till affected, but
that the cough proceeds from the
bronchial tubes 1 am inclined to
the opinion ol the doctor, not sim
ply' because of my confidence in his
superior skill, but mainly because
of the unimpaiicil strength of Mr.
Steven's voice. For this reason 1
think the cough is bronchial rather
than pulmonary'. Re this as it
innv, it is very enfeebling, and un
less checked, will prove to be, 1
fear, a most deplorable calamity to
our country —now so sadly in need
of hi* super-eminent counsels
But I am happy to state that the
cough to day is decidedly less vio
lent, and if it continue to improve
in the same ratio, I have strong
hopes uf his speedy recovery. Tne
wonderful elasticity and vitality of
iiis remarkable constitution, have
cndiwed several attacks of sickness
that have been more alarming, if
possible, than this
One more remark on this subject.
I would that the world could know
tlie resignation and fortitude with
which one of its greatest men on
■ lures this privation and suffering
Listen to the sublime and Job-like
words of the Christian hero: “I am
neither hopeful nor despondent. J
havo no desire to live another day,
but (Lid's will te done.” Rev.
John P. Duncan came on a visit to
Mr. Stephens by the so'clock train
this eveneng from Atlanta. This
distinguished divine is known nil
over Georgia, not less as an elo
qient pulpit expounder than as a
sweet singer. lie is now. I regret
to say, almost wholly blind.. Dun
can has been residing and preach
ing and singing in Georgia for al
most forty years. He is a native of
Pennsylvania, having been born at
Carlyle in that state in 1899 lie
was educated in A irginia, whither
Ins parents removed soon after bis
birth. About 1831 he came to
Greensboro, N. C., where for nine
months he studied law. under the
direction and in the office of Gav.
Marehcad, of that state. Rut be
fire he was admitted to the bar, he
bicatnc converted, joined the Meth
odist church, and began his ecclesi
astical career as an exhorter.
About 1835. he came to Georgia,
and was most cordially received by
Ilev. Jesse Boring. In 1837, as
an ordained Methodist preacher,
he was assigned a circuit of which
this county was then a part, and
of which-Bishop Pierce was the
presiding elder. Mr. Stephens,
then a rising young lawyer and
member of the legislature from this
county, was boarding with ilev.
Williamson Bird, a good old Methodis
man, whose houoj became a sort of
occasionna! headquarter for young
Dunoon in his travels. Thus early in
life be became acquainted with Mr.
Stephen*, to whom lie has felt a strong
and growing attachment up to the pre
sent time. He says lie well recollects
that when lie first saw his distinguished
friend, he found him ill the parlor in
tcotly reading the Bible,
Soon after tlie above occouranco Mr.
Stephens was prostrated with a severe
attack ol sickness. He came near dy
ing. During bis confinnient lie was vis
ited and consoled by the young preacher
to whom,after his recovery, he presented,
as a slight but appropriate token of
liis appreciation, a pair of Methodist
saddle .bags. These were Live days when
Methodism was‘‘Christianity on horse
hack.’ mid with his clothes in one end
of his wallet and books in the other, the
preacher of that day rode many a
weary mile to do battle in tile cause of
liis Master.
Mr. Stephens who has often heard
(lie melodious songs of Mr. Duncan,
could not resi-t the temptation to here
ii lm again “Mr. Duncan,” said lie,
“sing Howard’s song. ” This ha"ing
been rendered iu rich and distinct tones,
lie expressed himself as well pleased
The song in question is a parody on
Turn .Moore’s beautiful lines:
“This world is all a fleeting show, ”
anl was altered and sung by Rev Jno.
Howard, father of Col. Howard, of
Kll k wood.
“Now sing, ” said ,Mr. S. “Richard
Henry Wilde’s My life is like the sum
in r rose.”
'I his. to i, wa< rendered clearly and
melodiously to the great admiration of
•is all. The third and last snug was a
paraphrase of the last verse of the 17
psalms. then followed a fervent prayer,
a'ter which the company retired from
the room leaving Mr. S. to the care of
experienced and uttoutive watchers. —

Decrease of Water.
The Vienna Academy of Science has
addressed to the scientific societies of
Europe a circular, accompanied with
an instructive report, inviting them
to unite in observations of the cause of
the decrease of water in springs, rivers,
au-t water courses. Attention is called
to the fact that, for a certain number
of years, the water of the Danube and
other large rivers have been diminish
ing. The Austrian Engineers and
Architects Union have taken up the
same question ami have appointed a
Hydrostatic Commission to collect facts
and prepare a report. Two members
will observe the Danube, the Elbe and
the Ithiuc and tbe two others will study
the meteorology of the subject and the
influence that the Alpine glaciers and
torrents may bear upon it. The Com
mission regatd the devastation of the for
est-as the prime cause of the disastrous
decrease of Europe waters, and urge an
immediate adoption of measure to reuie
dy the ccril.
Albany Neus: We are glad to
announce that the question of a
supply of lal-.r is causing no un
easiness whatever in this section.
So lar as we have been able to learn
from planters, there is no difficulty
the freedmen are as anxious to
get places as the proprietor of
plantations are to secure their la
bor, and thev are generally willing
to enter into reasonable and equit
able contracts. The tenant system
is gaining popularity, and the onus
of paying a part of the crop is fast
being shifted upon the laborer.
There is no doubt but the system
of renting to laborers, with the re
served right of supervision, is the
best yet resorted to, and will
gradually approximate reliability
and profitable results.
Columbus Enquirer-&u,n: Btrial! farms
make near neighbor*; they make good
roads; they make plenty of good schools
and churches; there is more money
made in proportion to tho labor; less
labor is wanted; is kept
neat; less wages have to be paid for
help; less time is wasted; more is raised
to the acre, besides, it is tilled bettor;
there is no watching of hired help; the
mind is not kept in a worry, a stew, a
fret, ail the time. There’s not so much
fear of a drought, of weather, of a frost )
of small prices. There’s not so much
money to be paid for agricultural iu:p 1 .
merits. Wives and children have time
to read ju i to improve their minds. A
small horse is soon curried—and the
work on a small farm is always pushed
forward in season. Give us small farm*
for profit.
Never too Old to Learn.— Socrates,
at au extremely old age, learned to
play on musical instruments. Cato, at
eighty years of age, thought proper to
iuarn the Greek language. Plutarch,
when between seventy and eighty, com
menced the study of Latin. Sir Hen
ry Spelman neglected the sciences in
his youth, but commenced the study of
them after he had turned fifiy. After
ihii time lie became the most learned
antiquarian and lawyer. Dr. Johnson
applied himself to the Dutch language
hut a few years before his death.
’Franklin did not fully commence h:s
philosophical pursuits till ho had reach
ed his GLieth year. Dryden, in his
sixty-eighthyunr. commenced the trans
lation of the “ Iliad,” and his most pieas
.ng productions were written in his old
ago, *
Somebody lias brought out the fol
lowing interesting reminiscence: “When
Benjamin F.anklitt was a lad. be began
to study philosophy, and soon became
fond of applying technical names to coii -
mon object*. O:c evening, when he
mentioned to his fat her that lie swal
lowed some acephalous molltisks, the
old man was much alarmed, and. sud
denly seizing him, called I oidly lor
help. Mrs Franklin came with war i
water, and the hired man rushed in
with th*'T'ajden pump. They forced
half a gallon down Benjamin’s throat,
tlion held him by the heels over thu
eiLe of the prtren and shook him. while
tlie old man said; - If we don’t get them
things out of Benny he will be pizened,
sure.’ When they were out, and Ben
jamin explained that the articles allu
ded to were oj.sters, his father fondled
him for an hour with a trunk strap for
seating the family. Ever afterward
Franklin’s language was marvelously
simple an.d explicit.”

A horrible massacre is reported near
Atokis, Indian Nation. The bodies of
four persons were found burned on the
prairie, two of which wore females, and
were burned beyond recognition. Tlie
others were whites. A puny, with a la
dy’s side saddle, a dog and a gun, were
found near by. Three men who were
seen riding nine miles from the spot are
supposed to have done the shooting.
The prairie was .fired to destroy the
trail.
An accidental discovery ol great ini
portanee, ifverified, is announced by a
French veterinarian, who, noting that
the “foot and mouth disease’’seamed in
variably to spare cattle effected with
cow-pox, has vaccinated a number of
oxen as a preventative measure.with the
result that “not one of the twenty-five
beasts successfully inoculated has unto
this date, shown any sign of foot and
mouth disease.” although living among
animals largely effected with it.”
