For Senator of the 42ud District:
MARK A. COOPER,
OK BARTOW,
Election December \bth.
The State Grango meets in Atlanta
on the S of December.
DR. MILI.BR ON FINANCE.
Senator Gordon, it is stated has pur
chased the late residence of Mr. Wal
ter 8. Cox in Georgetown, D. C., and
the Hon. L. Q. Lamar, of Mississippi,
will be his guest during the win
ter.
Ex-Governor John E. English has
been appointed Senator to suc
ceed Senator Ferry of Connecticut. The
appointment is a splendid one, and
gives another straight-out democrat to
that body.
Secretary Chandler is cleaning out the
Indian Bureau. It is as nasty as the Ai-
gean stable, and old Zach is about the
only man nasty enough to wade into it.
After he gets done cleaning the Bureau
it is to bo hoped that some one will tako
him out and clean him also.
We publish this morning, from the
New York World, tne admirable letter of
Dr. H. V. M. Miller to Senator Bayard,
on the question of finance and the posi
tion of the Southern people in regard to
that important subject. We cordiallyen
dorse every word of the Doctor’s letter,
and as cordially thank hicn for essaying
to set the Southern people right before
the Nothern public. We enly regret that
such raon as Dr. Miller and Herschei V.
Johnson, Chas, J. Jenkins, Judge Hil
liard, Geu. Toombs and Mr. Stephens
have not spoken before and in unmistaka
ble terms rebuked the inflation heresy of
Gordon and the small fry politicians whe
were so outrageously misrepresenting
Southern sentiment and bringing such re
proach upon the Southern Democracy.
The mistake complained of by Dr.
Miller to Senator Bayard, was a natural
one, for when Bill Kelley came down to
Georgia preaching his inflation gospel he
was every where received as a prophet
and the most distinguished honors were
lavished upon him, whilo his utterances
were drank down by huugry ears and he
was applauded to the skens.
Gordon, too, the great leader of Georgia
Democracy, was equally blatant in bis
praise of the rag baby, while the press
with the single exception of the little At
lanta Commonwealth, re-echoed his praises
and endorsed his fallacies.
Th« Imperial Violet.
Hon. Mai A. Cooper having received
the Democratic nomination of Bartow
county for Senator of this District to
fill the unexpired term ef Hon. J. W.
Wofford, wc hoist his name to the head
of our columns, and shall accord him
our cordial support. Mr. Cooper is an
able man, conservative in his views and
upright in his acts. The people of
Bartow have made a good selection.
The Radicals of Atlanta after closely
watching the progress of registration,
have concluded to put out a ticket for
aldermen and councilmen in opposition
to the Democratic ticket now in the field.
Like al! other Radical dodges it claims
to bo an Independent ticket, Independ
ent being but another name for Radical.
We are sorry to see the name of our old
friend Maj. Jno. W. Hooper at the head
of'the ticket.
Fatalities are sometimes epidemic, and
frequently visit households with an un
sparing hand.
Arthur Curry, a bright aud promising
boy of 15, son of Lieutenant Job. Curry,
of the 5th U. S. artillery, at Fortress
Monroe, was out hunting and accident
ally shot himself through the heart and
died instantly. This is the third death
by accident in the family within the past
six months, his mother and sister beiug
drowned in a mill creek last spring.
The shaking of hands in the Southern
Pacific Railroad convention between
Gens. Sherman aud Johnston has sug
gested to an Alabama correspondent of
the New York Herald the names of those
two heros for President and vico-Presi-
dont. He thinks that the oaly way
unite the country would be to nominate for
President, and vice-President “ William
T. Sherman and Joseph E. Johnston.”
What do the Mortonian Bourbons think
of that ?
It was on leaving Eranco for Elba
that he said, “I shall return with the
violets,” and this little sentence—a
mere facon do parlar, as it would seem
—was sufficient for his friends and
sympathizers. Violet ribbons and vio
let rings were worn publicly by the
Bonapartists as a party distinction,
while Napoleon himself was spoken of
and toasted as Corporal, or Papa la
Violette. "Aiine; vouz la violette ?”
was the question but which a sympa
thizer might be kaown. A simble re
ply in the affirmative indicated that the
responder was ignorant of the schemes
tor the restoration, while the answer,
l 'Eh bicn ! elle reviendra an pretemps,was
the sign of a confederate.
A favorite picture represented asmall
group of violets so arranged that in
their outlines the profiles of Napoleon,
Marie Louise ana the King of Rome
could be traced by the initiated or the
profile of Napoleon alone was exhibi
ted, with the motto: "II reviendra au
prietemps.” Byron, in his poem, “ Na
poleon’s Farewell to France,” has the
following allusion to the violet
“Farewell to thee, France ! but when liberty
rallies,
Once more in thy rog-uus, remrmber me
then ;
Tbe violet still grows in tho depth of thy val
leys.
Though withered, thy tears will unfold it
again.”
Such being the significance attached to
this little flower, we may imagine how it
increased in favor when Napoleon, hav
ing escaped from Elba, entered the Tuil-
leries on the 20th of March, 1815, when
tho violets had indeed returned, and

In the wardrobe of a Hebrew lady the
most splendid article of clothing was
the turban, for those who could afford
it. The poor people had to be satisfied
with winding a peice of cloth round
their head and fixiDg it us wsll as they
could. The turbans were of various
colors, and wound in different ways ;
some of them were like a high Itower.
Shoes and stockings were unknown
but soles of leather were fastened with
two latches. The ladies, who carried
luxury into everyjdepartment, aud who
ure supposed, oven in the present day,
to be far from indifferent toa nice, neat
shoes, or to elegant slippers, had their
shoes, or rather sandals, and their
latchets, made of colored leather, dark
blue, violet and purple were favorite
colors. The ankles were decorated
with braceletajof gold or dainty silvti
chains and rings, witn tiny silver bells
Hair nets and head-bands were in great
request. The latter were made of gold
or silver and worn under the net, ex
tending from one ear to the other.
Earrings were much thosght of ; we nre
told of some that weighed a thousand
and seven hundred shekels of gold, and
were so large that a man could easily
put his hand through them. Some of
the women wore several rings with
little bells attached to them. They
were generally made of horn or silver.
But the most popular ring was the nose
ring. The left nostril was pierced for
the purposo and a ring made of ivory or
metal was put through it. Bracelets
were favorite ornaments, and were gen
erally worn on the right arm. Some of
them reached up to the elbow. Rings
on the fingers were worn ; chains of fine
gold, or strings of pearls with little
silver balls or small tinkling bells,
worn ronrd the neck.

The Nashville American says:
The recent transfer of the Atlanta
Commonwealth newspaper property is
supposed to have a political signifi
cance, the new team, being understood
to have decided leaning toward Jo.
Brown’s Gubernatorial aspirations, and
an independent canvass against the
regular party nominees.
We know nothing of the predelection
of the new team but the Commonwealth
will piostituto its mission and repudi
ate every principle upon which it was
founded when it advocates the cause
of such a man as Joseph E. Brown or
countenances, in any manner, the radi
cal design of so-called independents.
From the consolidated reports of
crops returned to the State Department
of Agriculture at Atlanta for the cur
rent month, we take the following ex
hibit in reference to the relative profits
of corn and cotton culture:
Eighty-oiglU per cent, of the cotton
was gathered on the 15th of November.
Some report all gathered. The frost,
succeeded by wet weather, has rendered
the pickings from late cotton of unu
sually inferior quality.
The yield, compared to that of last
year, is reported at 73}—but a slight
change from the October report.
If this estimate is correct, the crop of
the present year will be a little more
than 400,000 bales, which, at eleven
cents a pound, the average cost of pro
duction, will cost the producers 820,-
000,000, more than it will bring on tho
home market. In consequence of the
unfavorable seasons, the yield of lint
from seed cotton is seven per cent, less
than that of last year.
The average yield per acre in seed
cotton is 412 pounds; tho cost, sixteen
dollars per acre.
From the October report we learn that
the average cost of production of a
pound of Tint cotton is eleven cents; the
cost, therefore, of a pound of seed cot
ton will be three and three-fourths. The
average product per acre—412 pounds—
will therefore cost 815.45. Assuming
that the seed will pay for the ginning
and packing, and allowing Tc. per
pound of seed cotton to defray the ex
pense of marketing, -112 pounds will
cost 81.03 after it leaves the farm, This,
added to 813.45, gives the total oost of
816.48 per acre—forty-eight coats more
than rivj average reported by the corre
spondents by the addition of the cost
of marketing.
The average yield of corn per acre is
reported at nine bushels, some of the
northern counties reporting as higli as
thirty, while some, in those sections
which suffered from drouth, report as
low as five bushels per acre.
Tho averiigo yield of blade fodder
per acre is 1S5 pounds, and the average
yield of peas planted in the corn is
four bushels. All of these, corn, fodder
and peas, refer to the crop of this year.
Peas, when planted alone, give an aver
age of ten busheis per acre.
The average cash price of corn
throughout the State is 81.0S; of peas,
81.10; of fodder, per 100 pouuds, 81,x9.
Tho average cost of an acre in corn and
peas is reported at 88.00. The account,
therefore, with an average acre of corn
and peas will stand thus:
CREDITS.
The Columbus Times says of Gov.
Smith:
Gov. Smith may have made a good
Governor—and he has, we believe, given
very general satisfaction; but he has
hie blunders and mistakes, his preju
dices and whims, that are incident to
the human family.
This is very true, and the greatest
blunder and mistake that Gov. Smith
ever made was in not recognizing the
fitness of Mr. Williams, proprietor and
editor of the Timet, for the office of
judge of tbe city court, for which he so
earnestly begged, and then, as if this
mistake was not enough, he actually
had the dullness to utterly fail to see
the fitness of that young gentleman’s
capacity to the discharge of the duties
of solicitor in the county court, and
actually refused to accord even that
sep to his hungry ambition. Such
mistakes are rarely ever forgiven.

Tne revival, in greater force than ever,
in counection with the late Emporer—as
manifested at his funeral and at the
mausoleum at Chiselhurst, which

no doubt, chiefly due to tradition. Its
popularity, however, was probably en
hanced by an incident which happened at
the time of the late Emperor’s escape
fra in the Fortress of Ham. A packet of
violet plants having arrived by diligence,
the keeper was directed by Dr. Conneau
to plant them in pots, and while his at
tention was thus occupied, the escape was
effected. It is stated that the annual sale
of violets in Paris exceeds 6,000,000
bunches, realizing u sum of more thah
577,000 francs.—Argosy.

The Vice-Presidential Succes
sion.
New York World )
Among the many topics of Conversa-
tion suggested to-day by the death of Mr.
VViUon was the Presidential succession
in the event of the death of Gen. Grant.
Senator Ferry, of Michigan, having been
chosen President of the Senate pro tem
pore last March,* becomes, ex officio,
Vice President of the United States,
and would of course succeed to the
Presidency in the contingency sugges
ted. When the Senate moets next
month it cannot elect a second presi
ding officer pro tempore, so that Mr.
Ferry will receive tbe salary of Mr.
Wilson, and there is no legal way in
which he can be deprived of his posi
tion. When Mr. Lir.co'n was assassi
nated Mr. Foster was President pro tem
pore and when his term expired Sena
tor Wade was chosen, and would have
succeeded to the Presidency in the
event of the conviction of Andrew
Johnson when he was itnpeaced. The
death of Mr. Ferry, of Connecticut,
makes a vacancy in the Chairmanship
of the Committee on Patents. Mr. Win-
dom is second on the committee, and
as he is not at the head of any other
standing committee of the Senate,
will probably be promoted to that po
sition.
Management of Window Plants.—
The Horticulturist quotes the remark of
J. E. Feast, of Baltimore, on the man
agement of house plants, of which the
following ar, the leading points : Place
theplantBas near the glass as prac
ticable to get plenty of light. Windows
facing the South are best, Judicious
watering is the most important re
quisite. In winter keep the plants,
not then growing, rather dry. Increase
thejmoisture in spring, with the increase
of the sun’s power, and tho advance
ment in growth. In summer water
plentifully ; decrease as cool weather
approaches. Never water a plant
without it is dry, and then water it
thoroughly, so that the soil may get wet
through. Empty refuse water from
the saucers, giving plenty of air on
every fine day and avoid draughts.
Screen the plants from the dry air and
dust of the room by a curtain or in-
»ide window. Svringe whenever dust
is deposited.

Why Editors Don’t Suicide.—The
New York correspondent of the Cm
cinnatti Gazette in a recent letter says
While speaking of suicides as a feat
ure in human experience, I am led to
the remarkable fact that editorial life
exhibits so general an exception. Whilo
we have had instances of self inflicted
death among lawyers, bankers and me
chanics, such a case has never oocur-
red among the journalists of this city.
One may reasonably inquire, what
is the cause of this exemption T They
labor intensely and are generally ill-
paid, and they have a full share of
life’s hardships, which they endure
till their change comes in course of
nature. I can give no other reason for
this except chut the profession is con
stantly busy and works with an ap
proval of conscience, since its labors
are for the public weal. Editors in
fact are so occupied with the range of
thought embracing public interest that
they nays little time to think about
themselves, Walter Scott made the re
mark, after he had reached bankruptcy
that nothing saved him from isanity
but his habits of writing. His mind
was thus led ajway from the contempla
tion of miseries. Journalists are so en
gaged itj chronicling the woes of others
that they lose sight of their own.
Early Rising.—Tho difference of
rising every morning at eight and six
o’clock in the course of forty years
amounts to twenty-nine thousand two
hundred hours, or three years one hun
dred and twenty-one days and sixteen
hours, which nre equal to eight hours
a day for exactly ten years; so that
rising at six will be (he same ss if ten
years of life (a weighty consideration)
were added wherein we may command

of our minds and tha despatch of bus!

near the railing or banister, his feet
resting at the edge of the flooring, In
this position his feet slipped off the
floor toward the ground, his body
being allowed to follow on account of
the moving forward of the chair on the
rockers ; his ohin caught on the upper
railing, and the back of the chair came
up against the back of his head, and
remuin.d, so that he was suspended in
this singular manaer. Being quite old
and infirm, he was unable to extricate
himself, and the weight of his body
