We-received this week a copy of the “Daily
Graphic” an illustrated daily paper publish
ed in New York. It is very unique in ap
pearance, and is tho only illustrated .daily
in the world. It seems to be edited with sig
nal ability, but favors the late Congressional
“grab,” a feature in legislation which the
people have not yet learned to appreciate,
. and which we disapprove. But-to get up an
illustrated “daily” is certainly a wonderful
feat in journalism, and we hope we shall
see more of it.
Lieut Fred. Grant, the President's son,
was recently promoted from the position of
Second Lieutenant, to’Brevet Lieutenant
Colonel, tn Gen. Sheridan’s staff, over a
number of his superior officers in rank and
merit. This movement is not likely to meet
the approval of the army officers, as he is j
quite young, and without experience. While 1
President Grant’s nepotism was confined to
tho civil service of the government, it bau
but little effect upon Grant’s army friends,
but,if he is responsible for this act concern
ing his son, it will be likely to get up a
breeze” with the officers of the army.

The Patrons of Husbandry.
This association, which has taken strong
hold in some sections of-our country, is now
beginning to take some shape in this county.
The charter for an organization is now here,
and the “Patrons” will proceed to organize
the Sandersville Grange on Saturday the
12th inkt., and all persons who are friendly
to, and approve of the Order, will have an
opportunity of co-operating in the move
ment. The organization is designed for the
protection and benefit of planters* interests,
and we believe will do good for the eountry,
if its objects;are faithfully carried out. Some
of the best planters and most energetic men
of the eountry are very active in this matter
and jre hope they may be successful in the
enterprise. An excellent citizen of this coun
ty received a short time ago a letter from a
prominent mover in the association, from
which letter we have been permitted to make
the following abstract:
“I will leave this afternoon, On a tour to
Augusta, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Memphis and
St Louis, for the purpose of getting reduced
transportation for the benefit of “Patrons,”
and for the purpose of establishing a house
in St Louis, to buy the products of the West,
at the least percentage. Thence to Chicago,
and other eities of the North, for the pur
pose of arranging for the purchase of Agri
cultural implements, at least at wholesale
prices." :
Thus it is apparent that the Patrons are
to have the benefit of all the reduction in
prices, on a Cash basis. A small fee is re
quired to become a member. Ladies are al
so taken as members.
Sneeess to the cause.
Letter from Dublin.
• Dublin, Ga. , March 24, i872t
EdUor Herald: All that Sandersville has
told me about my problem, I could have
found, as Sancho Panza says, dry-shod at 1
home. I want, as twice before stated, a solu
tion, not an ipse dixit Even if I could com
promise sufficiently with myself to take any
man’s mere say-so in mathematics; I should
be. very far from accepting it at the hands of
one who makes use of such reasoning as the
following, which occurs in “Sandersviile’B”
reply to my first inquiry: “Since the hypoth-
enuse is the longest side of a triangle, each
hill will he, &c.” .
‘■Sandersville,” poor old Pythagoras never
iujured you; you ought not to treat him so.
If it he the problem as last stated that J. 1L-
U. has solved, I am anxious to see it. With
a few hints with reference to the places of the
letters, I think I would be able to construct
the diagram for myself and so relieve The
Herald of its embarrassment in that matter.
But about the corn-planting. I think I have
been sufficiently informed; especially since
Mr. B. H. Blackshear has come in with his
“elucidation,” so elaborately tricked out in
the gaudy fopperies of fine words, learned
definitions, and complacen t insin nations.
May he, should he see fit to give an “eluci
dation” of the other, find nothing more nec
essary than a “sciolous tincture of geometri
cal learning.” H.

Importance or Newspapers. ~
The true importance of Newspapers can
scarcely be over-estimated. We do not allude
to such as are conducted 1 by vicious and in
competent men, and whose only distinction
-is by indulging in personal abuse and vile
slang, but we mean those journals of a dig
nified and manly tone, and whose managers
seek really to be of some public benefit. j

Editors Herald: ‘ ‘Find the greatest quad
rilateral contained within a given perimeter. ”
A solution, being required by Mr. H., of the
above problem suggested by Mr. Coney’s
land, I hereby, offer what little light upon the
subject I can ; realizing, that, if'I succeed,
it will be “taken gratefully"’ by Mr. H., and
if not, what Sir. II. may afterwards say, may
cause a flood of light to burst through a
window of my cranium. I shall, however,-re
sort to logical proof, in. the absence of a dia
gram. Every trapezium (which "is a qnad-
■ iilateral, having no two sides equal) may, by
means of diagonal, be divided into two trian
gles, and each of Giese, into two right angie
"triangles, which are halves of rectangles with
eqmil bases, and altitudes.
Again: every rhomboid (which is an ob-
liqme angled quadrilateral, with its opposite
sides equal, and parallel) is proven to be
equal to a rectangle of the same base and
altitude. Hence, since the rule for the meas
urement of a rectangkj proves the basis of
the rule for the measurement uf every speoies
of quadrilateral, and since a perpendicular
is the shortest distance between two parallel
lines, it follows, that jof two quadrilaterals,
which are equivalent, that one has the iess
perimeter, which has its sides perpendicular
to one another, and which is therefore a rec
tangle ; or if the perimeter he constant it will
contain the greatest quantity of land in the
shape of a rectangle, hence the figure must
be a rectangle. This may be made clearer,
by conceiving a rectangle to bo before us on
the paper.
Now let the lower base of the rectangle, re
main stationary, and conceive the upper
base, to be moved to the right or left The
perpendiculars at the end, well become more
anh more oblique ; the upper and lower bases
will approach nearer and nearer, and conse
quently, the area will become 16sa and less ;
hence, the area of the rectangle with the
same perimiter is greatest; the same as be
fore. Vie have now only to consider the re
lation of the sides of the rectangle ; (or the
proportion of the base, to the perpendicular.)
Let us here interpose the solution of a prob
lem, which is necessary to solving the problem
under consideration. Required to find those
two parts, into which, a number may he
divided, which, when multiplied, will give
tine greatest product. Let 2a equal the Num
b'S : anti let us first divide it into the two
pqk'ts a and a; their products is equal to the
square of “a.” Let us again divide the num
ber into the two unequal parts, a plus 1, and
a hi inns 1 ; and their product is a square mi
nus 1. If we divide the number into the still
moj-e unequal parts, a plus 2, and a minus 2,
their product will be equal to a square minus
4. The first product is greater than the rest ;
nnd each successive product is less than the
one preceeding: hence, the product of any
two numbers into which another number
may be divided, is greatest "when those num
bers are equal. Hence, since the area of a
rectangle is obtained by multiplying the base
the perpendicular, that area is greatest, when
the base and perpendicular are equal ;that
'hen the figure is a square. Example: a
4 by 4, has a perimeter equal to 16,
area equal to 15. .
‘A rectangle 5 by 3 has a perimeter equal to
1(5 and an area equal to 12.
A rectangle 7 by 1, has a perimeter equal
to 1G and an area equal to 7. Hence ; the
greatest quadrilateral contained in a given
perimeter, is a sqhare.

A Visit to Sandersville and Vicinity.
• Editors Herald : A few days since I had
the pleasure of a visit to your city, and en
joyed the hospitalities of some of my kind
friends.
(I met with many old friends and acquaint
atioes and made" some new and pleasant ones.
I: have known Sandersville long, and it has
always been a pleasure to me to visit her
jjeopie. Sooir after any arrival, .was invited
Ijy a friend to visit .“your flourishing, school,
to hear the boys and girls spell against each
other, found the house with over sixty schol
ars, some thirty "boys and thirty girls on
opposite sides, teacher giving word to first
girl then boy; as they missed they took their
seats; the contest was exciting towards the
last; finally three girls was up after all the
boys had taken their Befits. -Rev-. Mr. Hay-
good, Baptist School-Agent, of Macon, was
"jiresent, and gave them a good talk that I
Hope they will profit by. Your citizens have
cply^to aid and encourage Messrs. .Duggan &
lUwjBon with ib®ir corps of teachers, to have
atne of the best schools in Georgia.
I had the pleasure of attending a regular
meeting of Magnolia Council U( F. T,; a very
respectable number of members present, one
cjrmdidate initiated, and" all seemed zealous
in the cause, but my friends in looking
around I found neither Senior or J nnior there,
cjncaf the places where Editors should be to
Report the much good accomplished. I hope
ere long to find each, of yon battling against
King Alcohol. I found many-ladies there, as
they are always found at all good places, and
where they are the men are sure to go. Take
courage niy -dear friends dp not .weaiy in well
doing. Our order is prospering; numbers
now over sixty Councils in Georgia, with only
three months progress. We have over three
hundred members in Baldwin County, many
families have been made happy, and all are
compelled to acknowledge that our temqier-
ance organizations have done much good in
this and your county.-
My visit extended some ten miles north,
where I formed some pleasant acquaintances,
and met with some happy families, all social,
intelligent and refined, haviBg a Baptist and
Methodist church near by, and long the ad
vantage of good school*- This would be one
of the best neighborhoods to ha\b a temper
ance Council, I ever visited, the very materi
al to build up an order, where there is inteli-
gent, moral tod temparate people, who only,
take A little domestic wine occasionally, for
temperance societies are intended to draw the
people together. Old and young, make their
meetings social entertaining, and instructive,
on the bases of temperance. I expect to visit
this part of your County again, and hope to
find a flourishing Temperance Council there.
The lands in this neighborhood lie beauti
fully and level; I was struck with it as being
a capital farming country; good fencing,
good buildings, every thing shows energy
and progress.

Trial of the Jlitrailleur.
ONE THOUSAND SHOTS A MINUTE.
Yesterday, at Holskie’s machine
shop, comer of Cherry and Jefferson
streets, a trial was made of a new
mitraillenr, invented by Mr. J. P.
Taylor, of Tennessee. This most
destructive implement of modem
warfare has quite a number of novel
features, which distinguish it from
the Gatlin or Imperial mitrailleurs.
One important one is that the gun-
barrels are in a water casing, so.that
the heating of the barrelsis impossi
ble. The other is that the twenty-
four barrels, starting at the breech
in a circle, at their muzzles, are group
ed in an elipse. By this meai(s, a
lateral or horizontal range is given,
instead of one in which other guns of
a similar character throw the projec
tiles up and down, at riglit angles
with the ground! The devieeior load
ing is also - exceedingly novel. It is
selfeharging, something like the Hen
ry rifle. Metallic cartridges are plac
ed in hollow tubes; Which are fed up
to the chambers’ by the motion of a
lever. A most ingenious device is
used for- firing, and on . moving the";
crank and adjusting a simple me
chanism, the mitraillenr may either ,
be used to discharge its load enfusil- 1
lade, the twentyfour shots going off.
one after the other, or the whole may«
be fired at once. It has four chain-:
bers, each one of which can be put
instantly in position , -fired, and " clear-;
ed of its cartridges. In the fusila’de fir
ing, as exhibited yesterday, it dis
charged 700 rounds a minute; when
fired in a volley, about 1,000. The
calibre of the cartridge used was 44. ;
and at a distance of 300 yards the lat- j
eral range spread the balls about 35
feet to the right and left of a given
centre. It is intended for the Vien- ■
na Eehibition. . For use against cav
alry and infantry it would be a most ]
terrible arm, and it has excited great J
interest among our own artillery of
ficers.—A r . Y. Times, 20th.

OBITUARY.
Lizzie Grafton, infant daughter of Charles'
C., and Mary S; Parsons died in Sandersville,
on Saturday the 15th inst," aged 15 months.
Without being faultlessly beautiful, she was
one of tho .loveliest children we have ever",
known. Sweet tempered and loving, it was
impfcssihle to look upon her sweet face aqd
gnz» into tho depthsofherloving eyes, with
out'feeling the heart glow with tenderest love
and the exclamation rise to the lips.
“God bless thee Lizzie
Gou be blessed for thee.” ,
During her long and painful illnesa of three
weeks, she was never fretful, never cried, nev
er" refused to take her medicine. Such pa-
• tieiiee and fortitude in one so young we have
nevfer heiora^seen,
- " \fhen we saw her on the day'before'her.
cteaih sinking with.congestion of the lungs
wc lelt that her-hours were numbered, and
that the. angels.were waiting for her. And
When at 21 a. M.; a slight convulsion; ended
her: • shdrThappy" life we felt grateful to God
that she had ceased to suffer.
■ - r We shall nevf i forget the placid.beauty of
^Herdeatures as shekty in the embraceof dcatb,

puce than" the Spirit that had animated the
beautiful lorm before us, aud-we felt that, a
fairer iowr.tnevs.-r bloomed on earth, a sweet
er Spirit never entered Heaven.
“Af the sweet flower* that scents the mom,
But withers in the rising day,
ThCa.lovfcly seemed the infants dawn,
Thus swiftly fled her life away.
Ere sin could blight, or sorrow fade,
Death timely caiiie with friendly care,

How the Girl of the Period must
Fix Up to be in the “Style.”—Mrs.
Burnham, the New York correspond
ent of the St. Louis Republican,
writes as follows on the above high
ly important point:
A lady to be extremely stylish now
must be narrow enough, taken in
front, to pass, between the handles
of a wheelbarrow without touching
either side, but she can make it up
by any amount of projection.behind.
Her head must be narrow; broad
heads are very unfashionable. Her
hair must all go to the top. Her hat
must have all ornamentation massed
at the back. The sides must in all
respects be flat and narrow, the hat
plastered on behind, the hair parted
on the left with some curls and crimps
on the right of the forehead. Then
an embroidered camels’ hair polon
aise; side fastened with immense
clasps of oxydized silver. A little •
chuukhandled English umbrella,
swinging, like a sword, by an oxydiz
ed chain. A skirt heavily trimmed,
the fullness taken entirely to the rear,
and rather short front and Sides, but
sweeping quite a train just behind.
That 5 s the pretty picture for to-day.

We feel grateful for the general prosperity
of 4 the country and its gradual return to peace
and.quiet. We find tho Freedmen, as a gen
eral thing, quiet and orderly in their conduct
and seem willing to fulfill all their contracts.
We have, by committee, examined the books
of the officers of the county, and find them
kept,with neatness and order.
We have examined fhe Dockets of the Mag-"
istrates of the county ;and find them general
ly wanting in the requirements of the Law
regarding Criminal Dockets.
The committee on Public Buildings report
them in good order, except the following
which they desire to call.the attention of the
Ordinary to; one window in the Jail occu
pied' by the City Council as a recepticle for
its prisoners; also, one door which is difficult
to kick. •
The Court-house is in a good condition and'
we would recommend the Ordinary to have"
• permanent seats placed in the Court room for
the audience in the style ofqu Amphitheatre.
The public Roads have be^n v a matter of
considerable interest to . this body, and we
earnestly and truthfully "believe that if they
were put upon some general system of taxa
tion of parties who are subject Lb road "duty,
that we should have better roads and at less
■ expense than the present arrangement.
We find the following roads in bad" con di-
lion. The ro irl leading from Sandexkville to
Thompson's bridge, particularly the Lagoon
oh the far side of the said bridge, which is
iai passable in high water. 1
'The Btils Ferry road near 124 C. It. R., re
ported too narrow. Also tfie covering of the
ditch bed. The road from Sandersville to
’’’phnilje is too nairow at or near Hannon’s
The roads within tho incorporate
of Sandersville, we axe -pleased to see,
|a being put in good permanent eontdition.
vcAild recommend the Ordinary to. we
ke tfld road running through Dr. C. Gibso Vs
plantation from the Montgomery, road, open-
during the year.
■ We have examined the Pauper list and de
ars to make the following-additions:

Charlotte Swann,
Matt Leverett, withdrawn."'
We are forced by the constant and regular
additions to charity of the county, to sug
gest the propriety and. benefit of a Poor
house and farm, for the paupers. We do not
presume to make the plans, only the sugges
tions.
We have examined tke insolvent account of
the Tax Collector and allow him as insolvent,
four hundred and eighty ($480.00) as Insol
vent Polls, and one hundred and forty-five
49 r 100 ($145.49 as Insolvent Propertytax for
the year 1872. We are not fully satisfied
with the manner of the Constable’s returns,
being satisfied that money would be saved by
the employment of one person to doit all, by
the Ordinary.
We have examined the books of the Treas
urer, and find his report eorrect, and find
further that he has a credit of expense's as
per vouchers of Bixteen thonsnnd two hun
dred fifty-seven dollars ($16257.03) and re
ceipts from du9* to the county from taxes
and" other Sources fifteen thousand nine hun
dred and seventy-three 98-100 dollars, (15,-
973.98). Due the Treasurer at this (late two
hundred and eighty-three 25-100 dollars
($283.25).
Aeoording to"the estimate of the Ordinary
and the Treasurer it will require about nine
thousand dollars (9000.00) to pay the expen
ses of the present year.
We therefore authorize the Ordinary to issue
evidences of debt to the amount of one half
of the county tax, to pay cash for the neces
sary expenses of the county. We suggest to
the Treasurer the propriety of preparing for
for the offiaara.and attendants upon the
Court for the present year:
Clerk of Superior Court nr day $5.00
Sheriff “ “ “ 5.00
Deputy Sheriff “ “ 5.00
Grand and Petit Jurors “ 2.00
Boilifs “ 1.00
We desire to thank the Attorney General
for his attention to this body and wish him
success.
..In taking leave of his Honor Judge John
son, we return thanks for hie uniforni kind
ness and courtesy to this body during the
present session, and take pleasure it expres
sing our admiration and gratification- in the
•reforms he is introducing by the strict admin
istration jof the law, and feel -confident that
they will "not only have a happy, and endu
ring influence over the county in- the fature,
but will meet with the same hearty approval
from the people that they have from this
body.
We desire to bear our- feeble testimony to
the satisfaction given this body and the Court
by the presence nnd legal ability displayed
by his Honor Judge Hill fn his administra
tion of the law at tbis term of the Court
YYe desire the publication .of these Present
ments in the Sandersville papers.
