The Bible mentions several paces of
giants as the Repbaims, the Anahims,
the Emims, the Zonzonims arid others.
Profane hystorians also mention giants;
they gave seven feet of height to Her-
cules, their first hero, and in onr days
we have seen men eight feet high.
The giant who was shown in Rouen in
1885 measured eight feet some inches.
The Emperor of Maximin was of that
size; Skenkius and Platerus, physi
cians of the last century saw several of
that stature and Goropius saw a girl
who was ten feet high.
The body of Orestes according to
the Greeks, was Hi feet; the giant
Gaibara brought from Arabia to Rome
under Clauduis Caeser, who was near
ten feet,; and the bones of Secondillo
and Pufio, keepers of the garden of
Sallust, were but six inches shorter.
Funnam, a Scotchman, who lived at
the time of Eugine the Second, king
of Scotland, measured lli feet; and
Jacob le Maire, in his voyage to the
Straits of Magellan, reports that on
17th day of December, 1615 they
found at Port Desire several graves
covered with stones; and having the
curiosity to remove the stones, they
discovered human skeletons of 10 and
11 feet long.
The Chevalier Scory, in his voyage
to the Peak of Teneriffe, says that they
found in one of the sephulchval caverns
of that mountain the head of a Guan-
che, which had eighty teeth, and that,
the body was no less than fifteen feel
long.
The giant Ferragus, slain by Orlan
do, nephew of Charleinange was eigh
teen feet high.
In Rouen, in 1509, in digging in the
ditches near the Dominicans, they
found a stone tomb containing a skel
eton, whose skull held a bushel of
corn, and whose shin-bone reached up
to the girdle of the tallest man there
being about four feet long, and conse
quently the body must have been 17
or 18 feet bigb. Upon the tomb was
plate of copper, whereon was en
graved. “In this tomb lies the noble
and puissant lord, Gnevalier Eicon de
Vallemont, and his bones.” Platerus
a famous physitian, declares he saw at
Lucerne the true human bones of a
subject which must have been at
least 19 feet high.
Valence, in Daupbine, boasts of
posessing the bones of the giant Bu-
cart-, tyrant of the Viyarias, who was
slain by an arrow by the Count de
Cabillon, his vassal. The Dominicans
had a part of the shin-bone, with the
arhcnlation of the knee, and his figure
painted in fresco, with an inscription
showing that this giant was 22 j feet
high, and that his bones was found in
1705 near the banks of the Morden, a
little river at the foot of the mountain
of Crussol, upon which, tradition says
the giant dwelt.
January 11, 1613, some masons,
digging near the ruins of a castle in
Dauphine, in a field which by tradi
tion had long been called the Giant’s
field, at the depth of 18 feet discover
ed a brick tomb 30 feet long, 12 feet
wide and 8feet high, on which was a
gray stone, with the words Theotobo-
ebus Rex cut thereon. When the
tomb was opened they found a human
skeleton entire, 25J feet long, 10 feet
wide acros the shoulder and 5 feet
deep from the breast-bone to the back.
His teeth each were about the size of
an ox’s foot, and lus shin-bone meas
ured four feet.
Near Mezarino, in Sicily, 1516 was
found a giant 30 feet high; his head
was the size of hogshead, and each of
his teeth weighed five ounces
Near Palermo, in the valley of Ma-
zaro, in Sicily, a skeleton of a giant
30 feet long was found in the year
1543, and another 33 feet high in 1550;
and many curious persons have pre
served several of these gigantic bones.
The Athenians found near their ci
ty two famous skeletons, one of 34
and the other of 30 feet-high.
At Tuto, in Bohemia, 758, was found
a skeleton, the head of which could
scarce be encompassed by the arms of
two men together, and whose legs
which they still keep in the castle of
that city, were 26 feet long.
The skull of the giant found in
Macedonia, September 1691, held 210
pounds of corn.
The celebrated Sir Hans Sloane,
who treated this matter very learnedly
does not doribt these facts, but thinks
-the bones were those of elephants,
whales, or other enormous animals.
Elephants bones may be shown for
those of giants^ but they can neyer
impose on connoissuers.
Whales, which - by their immense
fonlk are more proper to be substituted
- have neither
arms nor legs, and the head of the an
imal has not the least resemblance to
tfcaTof Vpt*n. IfIt ^erefore, that
a great number of the. gigantic hopes
whidh we have irienfioned nave beep
47” have resolved not to buy any dres
ses for themselves or families during
the year 1874 finer than calico.—Tel.
& Mess., 14Ik.
This resolution may he sneered at
by some, bat it has been intelligently
entered into, and with the purpose to
abide its reasonable sequences, it is
one of the most promising evidences
that the country is not yet wholly
ruined. But if merely for show, like
many people do things these days—if
merely to be printed in a newspape*-
and talked about for a few days, to
give temporary notoriety to its covers
—then its notf worth the paper on which
it is written. It is in the former sense
that I accept and propose upon this
article to comment upon it. All ladies
of good taste will at once percieve on
reflection that as conformity in dress
is essential to make their toilet pefect-
ly presentable, and that without it
they cannot and will not feel easy or
be happy, either in the presence of
their husbands or acquaintances and
friends—a reformation in one thing
alone will only invite ridicule and fail
—and that if carried out and adhered
to, means but little and will accom
plish no substantial good. The mere
fabric that composes the body of a la
dy’s dress before it is made up, in
these days is a very insignificant mat
ter to the man who foots the bills.
And if that is the only extent the re
form is to go, away with it, for it is a
humbug,
I used to liearjhejladies speak of the
merchants selling the dress aud throw
ing in the triunnisgs. Bat in these
times, they coulJ far better sell the
trimmings and throw in the dress. I
concede there is “no disputing about
taste,” but venture to assert that a
silk dress without trimmings is far
more agreeable to behold than a cali
co one all spangled over with trim
mings as fine as silk. And a substan
tial and desirable dress of that kind,
even if there were no mantua-makers’
bills to pay is far more economical.
If the ladies of Stephens Grange
will discard the trimming business
t liat has done more to impair the taste
of American women than any one
thing, in my opinion, they will set an
example Ibat every woman in the land
whose husband or father on whom she
relies, aud whose industry she is de
pendent upon, should follow without
hesitati m.
The reform in the body of the dress
—in order to cany with it the confor
mity which good taste requires—will
necessitate the reconstruction of the
whole make up of a presentable wo
man—the fantastic hat, and hideous
head-dress—would make men and
women happy, by a returnless exit,
and we should live to see that most
lovely of woman’s ornaments,—her
native hair, with its rich folds and
love-inspiring gloss. This especially
is a reform I long to see.
If women could only be induced to
think and act for *bomselves in all
these matters instead of following the
dictation of others, to act upon the
dictates of common sense, instead of
the suggestions of those interested in
promoting their extravagance, they
would so;n realize that there are many
middle women in the world as well as
middle men.
And if our fair friends of the Ste
pliens Grange will pardon the seeming
presumption, I will offer them and all
others, a simple rule in regard' t«
dress—which, if the follow and study,
there is no need for extravagance;
and they will never fail to please all
sensible men, so far as relates to their
dress.
Of course, the finer and more dnra-
rable the material she can afford to
buy the better. But the beaty of her
dress does not consist much in the
material. It is in its modest aim, and
graceful fit, and the conformation of
its drapery to the natnral beauty of
her form. - -
It may be that all suggestions as to
details, may be considered officious,
and out of place. If only the women
themselves, shall ever become thor
oughly bent on substantial reform,
we can safely trust to their judgment
and skill in the ways, aud meuns.
Then we shall hope to see the men
stirred up on the subject of their cpst-
ly apparel, to say nothing of other
luxurious habits of spending money.
Fifteen dollar boots, forty dollar coats
and fifteen dollar pants, with hats and
vests to correspond, will give way to
plain suits, the entire cost of which
will not far exceed the cost of the
hoots they now wear. Then let other
reforms, that will readily suggest them
selves to all reflecting minds, follow,
such'as the. saddle at ten dollars m-
lieu of buggy and harness^ at two
hundred dollars, the accumulation of
attractions and improvements at home
in lieu of excursions and trips by rail
ways and streams, the promotion of
schoolsat home in lien of sending
their children abroadl-for instruction
_and very soon we shall see an an
nual saving of from one to twenty-five
bales of cotton to the family, from
which a snrphis will arise to gladden
the hearts of the people, and demon
strate the truth of the cose, that with
ns as good a system of in dustry as well
regulated by economy, we would have
the best, by which I mean among
tain from the Atlanta Constitution:
The record of the Georgia Peniten
tiary shows 549 convicts in March 1873.
The monthly installments from April,
1872, to April 1873, are given and
show a curious, steady and regular in
crease. In April 1872 the stock of fel
ons was 404. The number went np by
regular graduations each month. Of wore for a redingoto an old army
squaw.
If she was the loveliest of her sex,
Lord Cornwallis help the rest Her
knapsack differed somewhat with old
John Brown's. It was a little warrior
about two feet long. His mother
grew up to have a bean, and he’ll
have a bow before he grows np. She
the 549 only 18 are women.
During the year 58 were discharged
by expiration of their terms; 21 died;
26 escaped; five were killed, and two
sent to the lunatic asylum. The heav
iest crop of convicts turned ont by the
courts for any one month was thirty-
six in November. The smallest
month’s harvest was four in August.
The number of convicts now on hand
are 614, of which 90 are white and
524 are black. There is but one white
women in the penitentiary and ten
blacks. The most common crime is
burglary, and the next, larcency.
There are 206 burglars and 126 thieves. 1
There 60 murderers, among the felons
45 ravishers, 79 charged with assault
to murder and 16 of manslaughter.
Chatham is the best represented,
having 64 convicts, Fulton 48 Rich-
rnqnd 36, Bibb 34, Houston 26, Thom
as 14, Troop 13, Muscogee 12, Cobb,
Floyd, Clayton aud McfKalb, each 11;
Greene, Dongerty and Brooks each 9.
All the convicts came from thirty-two
counties.
The old penitentiary system has cost
Georgia §570,535 from December, 1811
to March 1869.
Under the system practiced for a
year or two of leasing out the convicts
they have paid an income into the
Treasury. From April 1, 1872, to Oc
tober 1,1873, the sum of §25,213 65
has been realized to the State. Grant,
Alexander & Co., have paid §50 a
head. Their lease expires in April of
this {year, and as railroad building
has stopped they probably cannot
profitably lease the convicts longer.—
Even now they have not work all the
time for so large a fore?. The ques
tion will then irise as to what dispo
sition will be made of the convicts by
the State.
The old penitentiary could only take
care of some 200 convicts, the average
number before the war. The large
increase since the war is an alarming
feature of crime, due to negro enfran
chisement, aitd fall of perplexity and
trouble to.tlie State in the future.
It is one of the problems for the
Legislature to solve.
Monthly Payments.
That homely maxim of poor Rich
ard’s, about earning your money be
fore yon spend it, is not quoted as
much as formerly, and the practice of
most people would imply that they
think there is very little wisdom in it.

What Time Brings.
In the Charleston Convention, over
which Caleb Cushing presided, there
were twice as many delegates as elec
toral votes, and thus it happened very
often that half votes were given. Ben
Butler, the people have never forgot
ten, cast his votes over sixty times fpr
Jeff Davis. He was chairman of the
Massachusetts delegation, and invaria
bly, in announcing the vote of his
State, closed with the defiant state
ment, in his most rasping tones, “and
the State of Massachusetts casts one
vote for?Jefferson Davis of Mississip
pi”
The other half of the vote that Ben
thus made conspicuous was that of the
President of the convention Mr. Cash
ing It is not the least cations of the
impossiblo things that are always hap
pening, that Butler is now the fore
most man of the Republicans in the
House, while Cush»ng has just been
appointed Minister to Spain, and that
the present President of the United
States was at the time the Charleston
Convention was held, an obscure and
retired army officer, laboring for a
small salary in a leather store in Gale
na, Illinois, known to bis tew friends
as an ardent Douglass man.—Ex.
Southern Soldiers* Convention.
On the 22nd of February, 1874,
convention of soldiers and officers of
the Confederate Army is to be held at
Nashville, Tenn. The object of the
convention is a most important one,
and should commend itself to every
soldier in the South. It is to organ-
'hurd times” of this or any other ize a responsible body of men, who
shall consult as to the best means of
obtaining ajtruthful and reliable his-
rj of the late war; take proper meas
urea for securing the completion of
this work as speedily as possible, and
select as their historian a man of tal
ent and varied literary ability, who
shall be able to present to the world
both a truthful narration of facts, and
an entertaining and readable book.—
The Sonthern soldier has been pres
in an ambiguous light long enongh;
and it is time he should take his prop
er position in history. We hope the
convention will be largely attended
been reputed real human bones, the
existence of giants is proved.
season is dne to debts that are matur
ing. With monthly payments to make
on a sewing machine and a pario^ or
gan, how is a farmer “to save hip ba
con” or his round hogs until they
bring a reasonable , price? He-is com
pelled to sacrifice ei ther on his crops
or lose what he has paid on the ar
ticles lie has contracted for. Any pru
dent man or woman can just as eai
lay by a sum of money, every week
or every month, equal to that demand
ed for a stated payment on a machine,
as to pay it out. At the end of a cer
tain time the money would be in hand
to make a purchase on better terms.
Id any event, we would recommend ex
perimenting with the home savings
bank for a while, and seeing how well
the deposits come in, and with what
regularity.—Prairie Farmer.
Southern Immigration.—In all parts
of the South the question of the best
means for inducing white immigra
tion is actively discussed, it being gen
erally agreed that an influx of indus
trious white men into the reconstruct 1
ed States, and especially those in
which, the negro population have ac
quired political control, would be of
infinite importance to the material in
terests of that portioitof the country.
Great efforts have been made to induce
an emigration of laboring men from
the North to work on the plantations
of the large land-holders, but these
have not generally resulted success
fully. In time, however, there will
doubtless be_a great tide of foreign
immigration .to the South, for an in
dustrious white laberer can always
'find abundant employment immedi
ately on his arrival at 'prices which
within a reasonable time will give
him a working capital sufficient to en
able, him to go into farming on his
own account.;—jV. T. News.

The University of the South Sawe-
nee, Tenn., has this year 256 students.
It opened in 1868 with only nine stu
dents. The standard of graduation
has been very higb, and daily and ter
minal examinations bring out the stu
dent’s knowledge of the subject. Thir
teen schools are now in operation, nn-
the charge of nine professors and fonr
tutors, and other schools will be open
ed as early as the financial conditon of
the University will allow.
PnrpiiEFEEiiD, Vt., is evidently not
a good fie Id for an independent out
spoken journal. The Pimpleville Post
recently published this item: “Those
who have been engaged in sheep st eal
ing had better stand from und«r. We
know whom we are talking about.’
The result was the loss of sixty subscri
bers, and the paper will go into bank
ruptcy.
Casaway seeds, finely pounded with
a small propotion of ginger and salt
spread upon bread and butter, and,
eaten every da y, early in the morning
and before going to bed, are success
fully used in Germany as a remedy
Cream case.—Two eggs;one clip of
sugar; one cup of cream; two cups of

ger to taste, and milk enough to make
it of the proper consistency; then line
yonr tins with pie crust, and bake in
the ordinary way.
PickiiEEob hams,—For one hundred
pounds of hams take six gallons of wa
ter, nine pounds of salt, one qaart of
molasses, three ounces of saltpetre,
and one ounce of saleratns. When
ready to smoke they can be soaked
and freshened to taste if they are too
salt.
How TO SAVE STAIiE BREAD.—Stale
bread may be made as nice as fresh
by dipping the loaf into clean cold
water and warming through in a bake
oven. Much bread might be saved
that is thrown away if this were more
generally practiced than it is,
Potato pudding - —One pound of po
tatoes mashed, three quarters of a
pound of sugar, four eggs, one gill of
brandy, one gill of rose water, one gill
of cream. Work the potatoes and but
ter tegether, and beat the sugar and
eggs to a froth. Mix them well and
bake in a quick oven.
Dutch sauce.—Pat into a sauce-pan
one tablespoonful of flour, two ounces
of barter, two tnblespoonfuls each of
vinegar and water, the yolks of two
eggs, and salt to taste; put over the

stir it constantly until thick; if it hap
pens to curdle, strain the sance thro’
a strainer, add the juice of half a lem
on, and serve.
The cbean.—Boil one pint of milk
reserving to wet one half enp of flour
smoothly—stir in when the milk boils.
To one eup of snSar and the grated
rind add the juice of one lemou; pour
slowly into the mixture, stirring fast.
Haae ready tha three whites beuten to
a stiff froth, and pour in-while it bods
slowly; Let it cool, and pour into a
cream pot.
Minute Sponge Cake.—Beat three
eggs two minutes; add one cup and a
half of sngar; beat two minutes; one
cup of flour and one teaspoonful of
cream of tartar; beat one minute; odd

teaspoonful of soda and a spoonful of
extract of lemon; beat one minute; add
ene enp of flour: beat one minute.
Splended.
Dbopped Eggs.—Drop them in boil
ing water, aud be careful not to crack
them. Boil them four minutes; if
wished very rare, three minutes is suf
ficient. Five minutes will boil them
hard. In "Winter let them boil half a
minute longer than in Summer. Send
them to the table immediately, or they
hardon very soon. When sent to the
table in an egg-boiler, pour boiling
water upon them, and let them stand
five minutes; then pour it off and
add more.
T.ivk White Fish, Baked.—After
thoioughly cleansing and drying the
fish, stuff it with a delicate force-meat
and sew it up; brash it over with
beaten egg, sprinkle with breadcrumbs
and chopped parsely, and baste with
batter before patting into a brick oven
when the fish is a nice brown color
cover it with a buttered paper, lest
the outside becomes too dry. Bake a
fish weighing six pounds about an
hoar. Serve it with melted batter.
