A lIpYAL IRISHMAN.
HE NONPLUSES TRE XKO.E BLUES.
Avery ntnusiog aneodote is told of
an Irishman . who happened to be in
Paris,, while three crowned heads of Eu
rope were there on a visit to his Impe
rial Majesty, Napoleon. These distin
guished persona were the Emperors of
Uussia-and Austria, and the*King ot
Prussia. One day, having thrown
asjde ail state ceremonial to see the
sights of the beautiful city on the Seine,
for their own delectation; and for that
purpose they resolved to go inoog., so
as not to'be recognized by tlic people.—
However, in their stroll through Paris
r they went astray, and meeting a gentle
manly looking person, who happened to
be an Irishman* they politely asked
him if. he woujd.kindiy direct them to
the Palais Royal. “Fai’h, and thatfl
will, my bpys. This way, my heartiest!’
And .so. they wore conducted to the gates
of the Royal Palace, and the Irishman
was about bidding them farewell, when
the Emperor of Russia, interested and
pleased, much by tho genuine polite
ness of Pat, (£nd what son of Erin was
everyet deficient in courtesy and po
liteness!) asked him who he was.
“Well,”, rejoined their guide; “I did

After some further par-
Joying, one paid, “I am Alexander, and

A Remarkable Woman. —About twen
ty miles from tbe Healing Springs, in
the Alleghany Mountains, there lives a
moat remarkable woman. Her name
is Morrison, but she is known all through
the country as “Miss Jennie Rucker.”
She is about sixty years of age, bas her
hair bobbed like a man’s, wears a man’s
bat, and rides a horse astride. Hunting
is her means of livelihood, and she kills
dear, bear and other game w>th the akill
of forty years’ experience. Not long
since she wounded a deer, but before
coming up with it, another hunter—a
man—bad gotten to it and commenced
carving it up. Tbe old lady expostula
ted with no avail, and finally drew a
bead on him with her rifle to enforce
her “rights,” the fellow jumped behind
a tree, but loft his heel exposed, at which
vulnerable spot tbe old lady fired and
hit. She got her deer. She has nine
or ten children, and is said to treat all
travelers hospitably who stop at her
cabin. —Letter from Bath County, Va.
Our Mothers. —Many a discouraged
mother folds her tired hands at night,
and feels as if she bad, after all, done
nothing, although she has not spent an
idle moment since sho rose. Is it noth
ing that your little helpless children
have badsome one to come to with all
their childish griefs and joys ? Is it
nothing that your husband feels “safe”
when he is away to his business because
your caieful hand directs everything at
home ? Is it nothing when his business
is over, that he bas the blessed refnge of
home, which you have that day done
your be6t to brighten and refine? Ob,

your power when yon say : “I have

The Ejects of Smoking on Youth
It tnay be interesting to parents to know
that a French physician has investiga
ted (he effect of smoking on thirty
eight boys, between the ages of nine
and fifteen, who were addicted to the
habit. Twenty-seven presented distinct
symptoms of nicotine poison. In twen
ty-two there were serious disorders of
tbe circulation, indigestion, -dullness of
intellect, and a marked appetite for
strong drinks; in three there was heart
affection; iu eight decided deterioration
of blood, iu twelve there was frequent
epi-taxis; ten had disturbed sleep, and
four bad ulceration of tbe mucous mem
brane of the mouth. It is easy to see
bow tho ranks of the drunkards are re
cruited.
General Butler has presented a Church

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Calcutta on Jane 3d, gives
the following description of a prelimi

of the progress of the famous car of

which occurred on June 20th i, "We
are in the midst of the festival of the
bathing of Jugg&rnOth; his great day—
the Both Jalra, or the Journey of the
car—will be on tho 20th. Fancy aline
of road about two miles long, lined from
end to end with sellers of fruit, .sweet-,
meats, baskets, fans, and all manner of
native productions,.and fans made from
the ordinary palm leaf, and selling at a
little less than a half penny each. From
ten thousand to fifteen thousand people,
the vast majority women—ware on the
road, trying to eSt as near as, possible
to where the god was bathing. It is in
such; a scene as this that one is brought
face to face with the masses of the peo
ple. And how docile they are! They
had come from great distances. Some
were unmistakably footsore and Weary;
very many were Old and wornout, and
possibly anxious for the last time to see
tbe.god bathed, The fades of the young
girls I thought more wearied, looking
still; faces not pretty in any eSse that I
saw, add very ugly in some, hut with
an expression ttfotil was impossible to

THE GOVERNOR OF IDAHO.
We have ever regarded Gov. Bard as
a political weathercock, shifting from one
party to another, as policy demanded,
and not as a man who loved right for the
very right’s sake and believed, “Fiat
justilia ruat caelum. Ho is a Radical
(i. e. Now Departure) from policy, not
from innate meanness of heart, we are
disposed to believe. He is one of the
more high-toned sort, not one of tbe reg
ular brimstone fellows, like Bullock.
The cause of our opposition to Gov.
Bard is no personal feeling or prejudice.
Asa man, we like him well enough, and
as an editor wo admire him ; hut as a
politician, wo warn the Democracy
against him. His new-fangled Democ
racy is nothing bat a Radical pitfall to
entrap the unwary. The Democrats of
our State are almost a unit on the ques
tion of standing by the old school De
mocracy. Under the powerful strokes
of Hon. A. H. Stephens’ band we hope
this miserable New Departure sham will
800 n be annihilated, and the valiant Gov
ernor driven back to his native Idaho,
where bis duty to his subjects demands
his presonce.
In tho Untrue Georgian of July 31st,
the Governor “splurges” de se ; and as
still stronger proof of what we affirm,
and of what he denies, we give it below.
The italics and “points” are our own.
A Brief Sketch of our Past and Present Poltti
cal course—The Charge of our having been on
all Sides in Politics, llefuted by t'ucts, Sfc.
As much has been said iu regard to our po
litical course, it may not be amiss, or indeli
cate in us, to furnish a concise sketch of our
past and present public record.
We were born iu the city of New York, in
the year JH2S, of Democratic parentage, and
emigrated to the West in 1845, pud to Louisi
ana in 1850.
Our first Presidential vote was given, in
1848, for General Cass, who was the regular
Democratic nominee. Our canvass in his be
half, in the Western States, was long aud la
borious.
In 1852, we voted for Franklin Pierce, and
earnestly sustained his administration, from
first to last, editorially aud otherwise.
In 1855, we ran as the Democratic State
uominee for tho office of Superintendent ot
Public Education, in tbe State of Louisiana
The contest was a heated one between the
Democrats and Know-Notbingisin. We worked
four months in the canvass, and succeeded in
defeating our gallant opponent. Colonel O. D.
Stillman by a handsome majority.
In 1857, wo declined a second nomination.
In 1857, we CHSt our vote for James Buell
anan, and sustained the ticket with all the ab.i
ity we could command, both as editor aud
stamp-speaker.
In 1800, wo voted for Kentucky’s noblest
son, John C. Brec-keuridge. Our canvass for
him was long and sc vei e.
lulStil, we entered the Confederate army,
obeyed orders, aud “done" the best we could
for the Lost Cause. This is a matter of ptrblic
record, and needs no comment at our hands.
In 18fi0, we took up oar permanent residence
in this city, and, without a cent of our own,
(for we, like other Confederates, were penni
less) purchased the Atlanta New Era, for eight
thousand dollars cash, negotiations having
been effected in New York, through the kind
ness of a wealthy personal friend— not a poli
tical! (?) and to whom we are still under finan
cial obligations.
We cordially sustained President Johnson,
until he signslly failed to sustain himself \
and, at this critical point, we, with others, saw
the absolute necessity (7) of unconditionally
accepting the Congressional Keconstruction
Acts as the only means whereby to save the
South from political overthrow. (!)
Had our counsels been heeded, at that time,
by the influential Democratic leaders of oar no
ble old Commonwealth, oar troubles would
have ended long since, it is well known to
every intelligent person, that the do nothing
policy of certain Democratic leaders plunged
the State into political bankruptcy and possi
ble ruin. -
Bis astonishing what cold-blooded
impudence soma men have. It is an
historical fact that Gov. Bard, mimsblp,
was one of the principal agents, if not
Re agent, in causing Bullock’s eleotion
and thns plunging the State “into po
litical bankruptcy and possible ruin.’’
Daring our brief connection with the Re
publican party,if is well knownweopposed (?)
Radicalism from first to last—a fact whieh
cannot be. denied, or successfully set aside.
On the f4lh day of January, 1870, wo sold
the lfei# Era, and, shortly after, established
the Daii.y True Georgian, as a moderate Re
publican paper, and fought against the proton
cation policy of Governor Bullock to its final
defeat.
In November, 1870, seeing that the Democ
racy throughout the nation wer-honestly dis
posed to sink their Bourbon ideas in the grave
of forgetfulness, (?) with a view to accepting
the inevitable, we boldly adopted our present
Course, carrying with ua our progressive (!)
idehs, which we still fearlessly hold up to the
people as the only salvation of tha South, the
success of the Democracy, and the hope of the
Union.
-The above is a plain unvarnished statement
of facts, and the charge that we have been “all
things in polities,” is staggered, and foils par
alised to the ground.
1“ Truth crushed to earth mill rise ogwii*.”}
We bidcerelybope that Governor Bard
will see the error of his way, and turn
from it, as he has undoubtedly talents
of a superior order, which might be de
vp|(e<l.successfully to the saving of‘the
State at his adoption so Welt nigh raised
•by political tricksters handed with
"ihapea hot from. Tar Urns.”
Wjahave no qimrrol with the Gover
nor, and -we ask of hist to give the mat
ter a aorions consideration, ere a hope
less division in the Democratic ranks

Andrew Johnson’s Description op
Grant. —To a Tribune reporter ex-vflcs
idont Johnson, a few'days ago, said :'
“Grant is wanting in integrity, want
ing in intelligence, and wanting in tho
will to promote the good of the country.
The little fellow is selfish and avaricious
beyond bounds. His cupidity knows no
limit. He is no statesman and' no sol
dier. He never displayed any general
ship. He marched at the head—no, not
at the head, but in tbs rear—of an im
mensecolumn of men that wouldh ave ac
complished the same results ifhe ( had been
in the moon. Grant was a mere unim
portant incident. He never showed a
spark of genius. What inspiring' re
marks did he ever make that cheered
his soldiers and helped to win a victory %
When did he ever put himself in dau
ger, like Napoleon at the bridge of Lodi,
to give courage to bis troops ? He never
showed a single trait of generalship,
He had no sympathy with his men ; be
never visited the hospitals or showed
any feeling for the suffering wounded.
He was utterly remorseless. He was no
eader. He had no plans and no strat
gy. I repeat, that for any good be did
n putting down tbe rebellion be migh
as well have been in the moon.
Tbe New Orleans Times says that
tbe war between tbe Radicals in Lousi
ana “progresses with a ferocity, vindic
tiveness and unscrupalousness never be
fore shown by any party, or faction con
test in this State. Public business is ig
nored, and public money ruthlessly
squandered to promote the fortunes of
the one or other faction. livery species
of fraud, deceit, violence and trickery is
employed.”

that every time tho President signs his

order, bigamy pardon, or other paper, it
costs the tax payers about one hundred
dollars.
