But it is true, as many a knave knows who has gnawed for years at the good character of others with detrac tion’s tooth. The rat, that roots through rotten rafters, works to sotne purpose when it cuts its passage through to the flour-hags; but the rat that would per sistently try to burrow a hole through an *on door such a rat, in the phrase of the burnt eork Dutchman, we should say “wass creasy shure.” As yet we have to hear of such foolish members among the inferior rodents; hut the superior rodents, or two-legged rats, la-longing to the tribe yclept Bumists these are the craziest rats outside of Bedlam. They will gnaw, and gnaw, knowing well that their gnaw ing is useless; and what rouses their wrath most of all is to see the object of the “gnaw" perfectly silent. This thing of gnawing at the character of others for the sake of injuring them is the very acme of meanness; but the sure safeguard is silenee. Let the detraction or slander take its course : live it down, and you will “heap coals of fire on your enemy's head;” he will wince more under your silent, contempt than if you put a poni ard through his wretched carcass. Pub lic men, whose good name is common property, must sometimes refute a slan der publicly, but as far as the generality of persons are concerned, an upright life is the best refutation the lying slanderer can get. Men will pause to admire the virtue of the silent, man; whereas, getting in a flurry over the matter will avail nothing, and people will have misgivings they otherwise might never think of en tertaining. When slander stings, the world will admire you all the. more when you “live it down.” But the puling slanderer will wish you a thousand things unsaid: the table will be turned on him, the finger of scorn will I* pointed at him, or, worse still, his former friends will freeze him with their cold reserve, and he will hide his head with shame that is, if a spark of spirit is left in his un manly breast. This is not drawing on the imagination, nor coloring the matter too highly. Everybody knows and feels instinctively ‘the malice that underlies detraction. The detractor himself will despise a man who blackmails or belies another; and yet ho will manifest this devilish propensity in himself, ami de stroy a neighbor’s good name in the most polished language imaginable.- Irish American. A Model Farm. Col. S. W. Baker, the editor of the Blackshear Georgian, recently paid a vis it to this county, and took a stroll 'over the plantation of that model farmer and clever gentleman, Judge J. O. Mouton, and gives the result of his observation in the last issue of the Georgian. He says that "one field of seventy-five acres was beautifully covered with oats five feet high, and good for thirty bushels to the acre." He continues: “It was ready for mowing, and the Judge had a reaper costing about one hundred and fifty dol lars, that, while affording a pleasing ex cursion to the driver, could cut ten acres per day. This is not fancy fanning, but profitable, pleasant, practicable farming. That field will yield a larger profit and at less outlay of money and labor, than any seventy-five acre cotton field. Look at the facts of this ease. The cost of cultivation and harvesting $380.00; value of the oats $2250.00. Clear profit sl,- 020.00. Add to this the value of that field for pasturage, or for peas, -The peas at a low estimate would be worth 8700.00 making a total of $2,620.00 profit from that field, and realized too without the hazard of those destructive ordeals that so often attend the cotton crop.” “Patrons of Husbandry.” The President of the “Patrons of Hus bannry,” in answer to an editorial‘of the Utica Herald , opposing the Order of Pat rons of Husbandry as wicked or tyranni cal, says: “In our organization the dis cussion of partisan politics is forbidden; yet we believe that we, as men (not as Patrons of Husbandry) should, as a duty, scan very closely the acts of our public servants; that we, as producers, while we furnish food for the millions, fight our nation’s battles, defend its liberties in time of danger, should, of a right, have an equal share its such in the making of those laws by which we are governed; that we have a right to demand that in all things, whether politic or otherwise, the principles of common honesty shall not Ik' wholly ignored, and to place our selves in a position to enforce that de mand. We know no party; but we con sider it the duty of all connected with us to, outside of the Grange, see to it that the candidates of all parties be men of integrity, whose interest is the welfare of the people, and not political ring-mas ters. In the Grange, also, we are taught to advance the interest of education. In short, the Grange of the Patrons of Hus bandry is for the elevation of the masses socially, mentally, morally and financial ly, and we hope that the press of no po litical party will so oppose us that we shall Is' compelled to regard them .is en emies.” —Hiram Lawrence, a young man, went down into a gasometer at Eastport., Me., to let off the water, was overcome by gas and fell from the ladder into the water. His brother Edward went down to get him out and was similarly over come and dpopjs'd. A third brother, James, then ventured ill with a rope til'd to his waist. He was taken out. in a pro -1 carious condition; h s brothers were dead. - School Commissioner’* Convention. The call of Superintendent G. J. Orr, for a Convention of County School Com missioners of the State, to assemble in Atlanta on the 25th and 26th of June, which we publish in to-day's Banner, will, we trust, bring out all who are con nected with the free school system. As remarks the Macon Telegraph, this whole system (free schools) is still in its infancy in Georgia, and up to the ap pointment of Mr. Orr, had resulted in but little practical benefit. The people had imbibed the idea that free schools, like the poor house, were disreputable, and those who patronized them were re garded in the light of mendicants. True, within a few years past, corporation free schools have been put in successful oper ation in ’Savannah, and perhaps others of our principal cities, which have been found to work well, and, indeed, have Ixren extensively patronized by the chil dren of the first families. But in the rural districts, the prejudice against these institutions has been bitter and unrelent ing, and though fast disappearing under the intelligent and judicious administra tion of Mr. Orr, there is still much op position. Hence the importance of this convention, made up, as it will be, of representatives from all portions of the State. We are satisfied that the reports of the various county commissioners will show, that an enlightened and wisely conducted system of public schools, un der the direction of competent instruct orif who arc themselves subjected to rig id examinations as to fitness and qualifi cation is the great want of the country. The physical labor and brute strength of thousands of illiterate white citizens, (to say nothing of the negroes,) to be found within the limits of the State, if supple mented by education, and their latent talent developed, would add immensely to the wealth arid productive resources of the commonwealth. The writer has visited several of the public schools of our own county, and can testify that the present plan of instruction, grading, etc., is working the most salutary results. The same will doubtless be the report- of the commissioners generally. Prejudices are giving way, and in view of the tem porary nature of all private undertak ings, and the necessity for permanence, thorough organization, and independence in pecuniary matters, without, which, ad equate discipline and order are well nigh impossible, the public schools of the country here, as at the North, must, soon become popular institutions, and dis pense great good to the people. “ The South will lllse Again.” Upon a recent occasion in Washing ton, Judge Embry, in introducing a Southern lady to an audiance of ladies and gentlemen, paid the following hand some tribute to the women of the South: “Ladies and Gentlemen : Twenty years ago all the Southern States were repre sented at this capital by many of the lovliestand most accomplished ladies of America. They were indeed the queens of American society in the highest intcl lectural culture, and in more than prince ly bearing or Oriental beauty. But war, with the devastations that follow in its train, lias, for more than a decade, swept with relentless fury over all the fair and fruitful fields of the South. It has deso lated countless happy homes, curbed many noble ambitions, crushed many bright hopes and anticipations, reduced to poverty and want, thousands reared in affluence and wealth, and Inis hung the symbols of mourning throughout all the borders of that sunny land. This will not last always. Such a land, with such a soil and climate, and, above all, such a race of people, were not destined by God and nature to utter ruin. “Her stricken and wasted fields will ripen again with their golden harvests and her gardens will send the fragrance of their flowers over all the land. She will rise from her sorrow and humiliation, from her poverty and her ashes, because her very tushes will enrich her.” . No Kscape for the Debtor. The Meriwether Vindicator publishes the following letter from Gov. Smith, in regard to the effect of the late decision of the Supreme Court on the Homestead laws of Georgia : Executive Department, ) State of Georgia, June 2d, 1873. ) Messrs. D. A. Woodall, W. A. Florence and other Citizens of Meriwether Cos., Ga., Gentlemen : I have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt of your petition of the 16th ult,., asking me to “use mv in fluence and authority in behalf of the people of this State in staying the law recently opened by the decision of the United States Supreme Court.” Other eommuftioations have reached me from different-parts of the State on this sub ject; and it is manifest that the decision referred to is producing great confusion and distress among our people. The judgment pronounced by the Supreme Court of the Federal Government may have the effect to enable a few persons to collect debts which they otherwise could not have done; but the general ef fect- of this judgment will probably be— without aiding the creditor class mate rially—to injure, and in many cases, to utterly ruin persons belonging to the debtor class. But neither the Governor of Georgia nor the Legislature, nor both combined, have any power in the prem ises. Regretting sincerely the distress which a large portion of our people are how enduring, and trusting that they will go forward with patience, and will not allow themselves to la' disheartened by what has occurred, I remain, with great respect, your fel low-citizen and obedient servant, James E. Smith. —Tlie inmates of the insane asylum at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, issue regularly a small newspaper railed the M-leor. The editors, compositors, etc., are all lunatics.

T)epaet*ent of Educatjoh, 7 Atlanta, Ga., June 10, 1872. ) After consultation with his Excellency the Governor, I hereby call a convention of the County School Commissioners of this State, to be held in this city on the 25tli and 2Gth days of this month. The objects of the convention are to awaken interest in the public schools, to promote uniformity in the practical work ings of the system, to secure a better understanding of its details and to gain fuller information as to the status of school affairs throughout the entile State. Through the kindness of the citizens of Atlanta, arrangements have already been made for entertaining one hundred of the mem tiers, free of charge, and Ifeel safe in saying, from efforts which I am now making, that I shall succeed in pro viding fcjr the remaining forty in the same way. The following railroad companies have shovel their public spirit by granting a free return to all members who pay full fare in coming, viz: The Western and Atlantic, the Atlanta and Richmond Air- Line, the Central and its connections, including the Mac on and Western and the South Western and its branches, the Georgia, the Rome, the Cherokee, the Atlantic and Gulf, the Macon and Bruns wick and the Atlanta and West Point. In order to relieve the members as nearly as possible from all eipense, T hereby instruct the several County Boards of Education to consider the three or four days s|>ciit in the convention and in coming and returning, as days devoted to official duty, allowing the commission ers the usual per diem, inasmuch as I feel assured that this time wisely spent will result in more solid good than the same number of days occupied with any of the regular labors. The chief executive officers of systems in cities and counties, established under special laws, are also invited to attend. Members, on coming into the city, will be met at the trains and shown to their homes by myself and assistants. That they may be identified, I request the m to wear, each, a red ribbon tied in the lapel of his coat. Myself and assistants will wear blue ribbons tied in the same man ner. Lot all come that we may consult the great, interests which we represent. All the papers of the Stats* are re quested to copy this, as they will thereby render important public service. Gustavub J. Orr, State School Commissioner. How “ Greenback” Caper ia Made. All the paper for the mercy issued by the government is manufactured on a sixty-two-inch Fourdrinier machine, at the Glen Mills, near West Chester, Penn sylvania. Short pieces of red silk an 1 mixed with the pulp in the engine, and the finished stuff is conducted to the wire without passing through any screens, which might retain the silk threads. By an arrangement above the wire cloth a shower of fine blue silk thread is dropped in streaks upon the paper while it is forming. The upper side, on which the blue silk is dropped, is the one used for the face of the notes, andfrom the manner in which the threads arc applied must show them more dis tinctly than the lower or reversed side, although they are embedded deeply enough to remain fixed. The mill is guarded by officers niglit and day, to prevent the abstraction of any paper.” ■ • A scheme is now on foot to run a tun nel through the Kooky Mountains. This may seem a prodigious enterprise at first to the casual reader, but the parties who have the matter in hand are sanguine of the most complete success. The idea is to tunnel the mountains from a point about one mile lielow Black Hawk to the Middle Park, running in a northwesterly direction. The tunnel to be run will, it is presumed, cut many rich veins of gold and silver, and thus a great mining in terest bedeveloped. Money for the pros ecution of the work is furnished by Eng lish capitalists, who are confident of the ultimate success of the enterprise. Some idea of the magnitude of the task may be gathered from the fact that the tun nel, if completed, will be twelve miles in length. It is intended to make it large enough to lx? used for railroad purposes, and so, if a road is ever to be construct ed to the Middle Park, it will find its most convenient route through the tun nel . It will lie called the Sierra Madre Tunnel Company, and the incorporation papers for its organization have already been filed. - Savannah Advertiser.
