An expressman,, upoti. reaching his. office one coM nromipg- gryi observed, oh. the side-walk a longi heavy box, which his practiced r^r^Sfar^ shivering wiili cplcl, ssit a hall clad boy about seven or eight years ot age.

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 uot Ask you who you were, and befofe I ana war. you, perhaps you will tell me After some further par- Joying, one paid, “I am Alexander, and they call me Czar, or Emperor of Ml the Russias.’ ’ —-“lndeed,’’ said Pat, with a Roguish,)wisije in the corner of his eye, tmd aip incredulous nod of the head, as mipjh uB to say. “Ibis boy is up to cod ding mm a bit.’’—-“Aud might I make boWld to ax who you be, me flower}”— ‘ Tfiev call,mo, Praucis Joseph, and the Empe#oro^ ; Aftisffia.”—“Most happy to make your acquaintance Frank, my boy,” say# the irishman, who thinking ho was hoaxed, and ia his despairing ef forts to get-.tho Xnth as he; conceived, out of .any or them, turned to the third lone, and said : “Who are yoo !” me Frgdrick William, and I am RirtgfoffPrussia.” They (hen re minded him that he promised to tell .them" who he was, and after gome .hear* -•Mlifßa *iiß..myatja(ioua air of confidence, Pats putting iiia hand to hia month, am the Emperor of China, Jw-t fell any body.”- m-M % i >*- *■- '****. l ? ‘ Bpiality ,Au old Scotch minister on being-wrist. i a sermon iu favor of equal ife. »t 1, time of .great excitement .<* that'subject, said at the closo of a ser mon, in substance as follows : lou asked mo te preach a. sermon on equality.

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, weary, faithful mother, you little know your power when yon say : “I have done uothiug.” There is a book in which fairer records than this are writ ten over against your name. 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 with new pulpit. He might have spar ed enough plate to have also made it a present of a communion service. This bowover, the Church might have deciin ed under the belief that “the receiver is as bad as the thief.” The genius of a Boston composer is at last to supply the nation with a national hymn founded on compromise prioci* pies. It is to be made up of a combi nation of Yankee Doodle and Dixie, and to be called Dixie Doodle. Tbe New York Herald says : “The Piegan Indians are ravaging the valley of the Upper Missouri about the neigh* borhood of Fort Benton with terrible fierceness.” Why don’t the Govern ment send Phil. Sheridan LL. D., oat there to roast a few more of their did men and women anfi young children. That ia the only thing which, will teach those barbarous Piegans civilization. A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Calcutta on Jane 3d, gives the following description of a prelimi nary ceremony which precedes the day of the progress of the famous car of Jdggemath or Juggernaut, an event 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 look upon without pity.” : te 'W A Nova Scotia correspondent gives a little fragment of an, overheard conver sation : ‘‘What kind, of a stone do you suppose they will give mo wheij l 'Cod” ■•Brimstone, cfcounsel” Mail, who reside meTegant stone fronts aad appear wcalthv after a smaller dwelling-iq aTem ffsoiqaabl.: locality* j <> M-* ha * receipt,.' dl.it. or oilier do.u'raent. of 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 renders it too I*NR "** . •* Rufus B.

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.” The Washington Patriot saye* that "all important papers requiring the-sig nature of tho President, must be sent to Long Braoch by a special messeuger, who ig allowed two cents mileage each way, for going aud returning, hotel bills and other expenses It, i a est.mated that every time tho President signs his name at Long Branch, to a commission, order, bigamy pardon, or other paper, it costs the tax payers about one hundred dollars.
