HwEDSESDAYAJORNING, AUGUST 27, 1873.
| Letter from Home.
I Rome, Ga., August 7, 1873.
■ Editors:
I | The Standard frieghted with news
B from Talbot is an ever welcome visitor.
K your correspondent looks for it as he
I j oes the epistle of a friend.
I 1 The seasons in and about Rome have
■ i)een very propitious, and the yield of
■ corn, peas, &c., will be abundant. The
Bj cotton is promising. The wheat crop
■as light. The weather has been pleas-
I ant for the last two or three weeks for
■ Summer, and the nights have been truly
■ refreshing to those who delight to rest
■ in the arms of Morpheus.
K \ Your readers will doubtless be pleased
BJ to leam that Messrs. Carleton k Cos.,
■ jj a ve in press a work, entitled “Peace
r Papers,” from the j>en of the gifted, ge
-11-' nial and humorous author, “Bill Arp.”
1 Tlris book will be in circulation perhaps,
§§§ i n less than one month. Your corres
■ pondent has had the pleasiu-e of read
■§ ing a few pages of the proof, which are
B rich, rare and racy. Reasoning from in-
B duetion, which is legitimate, if what be
lli longs to a few pages belongs to the
If w hole, he predicts that the public will
■ have in the forthcoming work quite a
■ treat.
I Feeling the need of another institu
|| tion of learning in our growing city, an
1B effort has been made by the friends of
|| education, and they have succeeded, to
II raise sufficient stock to purchase a valu
llS a * ) ' e piece of property for the purpose of
|if establishing a Baptist Female College.
| i The exercises of the school will begin on
II the first of October. There is already in
1S progress a flourishing female college un
-1 I <ler the Presidency of Rev. J. M. M.
I Caldwell. It is thought that the cause
| | of education demands two first-class col-
I leges instead of one. The idea is to ed
| ueate the females and then the education
I of the other sex will become a necessity.
* The young gentlemen will find it both
I profitable and pleasant to so cultivate
their minds and hearts as to make them-
I selves suitable companions for that fas
l mating and valuable constituency of
all communitiea The male schools are
I of the high grade and furnish ample fa
: eilities for the education of that other, if
f not so fascinating, yet equally impor-
I tant constituency.
As education is the parent of all sub
stantial progress, your readers will not
Ire surprised to learn that arrangements
have been made to place npon the Oos
tinaula, a river not less beautiful and
lovely than its name, a handsome boat.
The “Magnolia" now regularly plies the
| Coosa, and there will be additional in
terest, when the whistle shall be heard
on "one of her arms from the North, as
well as on herself frpm the West. Much
of the honor is due to the energy end
perseverance of our fellowtownsman, T.
f J- Perry, for the accomplishment of the
enterprise. P.
There is a “Muscogee Baptist Asso
ciation” in the Cseek Nation, of which
Rev. H. F. Buckner is Moderator. It
has 21 churches, 741 members, 20 or
dained ministers, 18 licentiates, and 15
Sunday schools with 339 scholars. This
will do very well for “Lo, the poor In
dian.”
“Refined Homes,” says the New York
Nation, are the end of civilization. All
the work of the world, the railroading,
the navigation, the digging, manufactu
ring, invention, teaching, writing, fight
ing, are done first of all, to secure each
family in the possession of its own
home; and secondly, to surround as
many hearts as possible with grace, and
culture, and beauty. The work of all
races for five thousand years is repre
sented in the difference between a wig
wam and a lady's parlor. It has no
better result to show. ”
Lie Dows and Rest.— Dr. Hall says
the best medicine in the world, more ef
ficient than all potations of the materia
medica, are warmth,rest, cleanliness and
pure air. Some persons make it a vir
tue to brave disease, “to keep up” as
long as they can move a foot or wiggle
a finger, and it sometimes succeeds; but
in others, the powers of life are thereby
so completely exhausted that the system
has lost all ability to recuperate, and
slow and typhoid fever sets in and car
ries the patient to a premature grave.
Whenever walking, or work is an effort,
a warm bed and cool ro/Jfao are the very :
first indispensables to a sure and speedy
recovery. Instinct leads all beasts and ;
birds to quietude and rest the very mo-!
ment disease or wounds assail the .sys
tem.
Ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia,with
his family, is at Cross’ Mills, near South
Kingston, R. I.
A man who went to , Danbury eight
years ago worth nothing, is now the
owner of three dogs.
There are 812 paper mills in the
United States which last year turned
out 317,387 tons of paper.
The Columbus Baptist Association
will meet in Hamilton on Saturday be
fore the 4th Sunday in September. This
body embraces thirty-one churches and
two thousaud, two hundred and forty
one members, and is composed of sixty
three delegates. .
The latest musical tragedy aboard is
an Italian child, six years of age, nam
ed Guiseppo Lonoelotte. He plays the
piano like a master,performing the most
difficult compositions of Mozart and
Beethoven, anti improves most brilliant
ly. Ho has been called to Paris, and
will soon appear in public, the highest
expectations having been formed of him.
Edmund Yates says that the /Shall
saw ‘ about six hundred buxom and
blooming Lancashire lassies in the
spinning and weaving mills in Manches
ter. He was so struck’ with the sight
that he offered to buy up the whole es
tablishment, operatives and all, to take
back with him to Teheran. His Majes
ty was much disappointed to learn that
the laws of Great Britain forbade sucli
a bargain.
There is a fine state of morals prevail
ing among the crowned heads of Eu
rope. For example, we are told that
the Grand Duke Alexis, of Russia, has
not been able to overcome his love for
Mile. Jonvoski, the daughter of the Cz
ar’s former tutor and that his constancy
is rewarded with permission to contract
a morganatic marriage with her. And
then it is coolly added, such love alli
ance will not prevent, tho Grand Duke’s
espousal of a princess for political pur
poses.
A Prussian Amazon has appeared on
the theatre of war in Spain. A Valcn
tia newspaper says : “We have had the
pleasure of seeing the, Prussian heroine
announced, who will.it is said,command
a battalion of volunteers against the
Carlists. She is well grown, hardly
twenty-five years old, has a rather pret
ty face and blonde hair. She wore a
long upper garment, long riding trows
ers and a Phrygian cap, and carried a
cavalry sword. We do not know wheth
er she will remain here or go to Barce
lonia.”
A remarkable story of gold discover
ies comes from Buenos Ayres. If we
may believe the extravagant accounts
given by the enthusiastic correspon
dents and local newspapers, the riches
of California and Australia are as noth
ing compared with fhe mines of wealth
which the Argentine Republic possesses,
but anew emigration of diligent diggers
cannot take place because a company
has been found willing to pay a hundred
million of good money to secure exclu
sive privileges. The story may be true
—and then it may not.
A Hand Ice Machine.— General Alfred
Iverson, late of the Confederate States
Army, the captor of Stoneman, has ob
tained letters patent for a machine for
the manufacture of ice, which is intend
ed for introduction into every household.
It is about the size of an ice cream freez
er, and is so constructed that it will
freeze water into solid blocks of ice in
ten or -fifteen minutes. One of these
machines will cost twenty or twenty-five
dollars, after the obtaining of which the
the round expense of making tiro ice a
family would use in a year would not
perhaps sum up two dollars gross. The
world moves most certainly.
The Egyptian Cotton.— There is a re
port current in England of an important
development of the cotton trade which
is about to be initiated by the Khedive
of Egypt. Arrangements have been
made with a firm at Alexandria for the
manufacture of machinery to prepare
cotton for transport from the region of
the <S'oudon to Lower Egypt. The main
difficulty will be the transportation of
the machinery with the tools necessary
for its erection, as this will have to be ef
fected by means of camels. Another in
convenience in connection with this
movement will be found in the fact that
no parcels will be allowed to exceed four
hundred pounds in weight. The de
termination of the Khedrve to make use
of this valuable staple is probably one
of the fruits of the recent expeditions to
Egypt of (Sir Samuel Baker and others. t
■■ wri.\T is rr but a map of busy life, its fluctuations and rrs vast concerns."
TALBOTTON, GA., WEDNESDAY AUGUST 27, 1873.
[How the Cable (Talks.,
[Extract from a New Founillaud Letter. ]
Through tho kindness of the Superin
tendent, Mr. AVeedon, I was permitted
to witness tho mode of transmitting and
receiving messages through the cable,
and iuitated into the secret. An operator
sits at a table in the room darkened by
curtains. On his left hand stands a
little instrument named the “reflecting
galvanometer,” the invention of Sir Wil
liam Thompson, without which Atlantic
telegraphy would be a slow progress,
not exceeding two or throe words per
minute, instead of eighteen or twenty,
the present rate. This delicate instru
ment consists of p, tiny magnet and a
small mirror swinging on a silk thread,
the two together weighing but a few
grains. Tho electric current passing
along the wire from Valencia, deflects
the magnet to and fro. The mirror re
flects a spot of light on to a scale in a
box placed at the operator’s right hand,
where, by its oscillation the spot of light
indicates the slight movements of the
magnet, which are too slight to bo 'di
rectly seen.
The little swinging magnet follows ev
ory change in the received current; and
every change, great or small,produces a
corresponding oscillation of the spot of
light on the scales. A code of signals is
arranged by which tho movements of
the spot of light are made to indicate
the letters of the alphabet. When re
ceiving a message from Valencia,the op
erator watches the movement of tho lit
tle slight speck, which keeps dancing
about over the scale on his right. To
his practiced eye each moment of the
spot of light represents a letter of the
alphabet, and its seemingly fantastic
motions are spelling out the intelligence
which the pulsings of tho electric cur
rent are transmitting between the two
hemispheres. It is truly marvellous to
note how rapidly the experiam ed opera
tor disentangles the irregular oscilla
tions of the speck of light into the let
ters and words which they represent.
The Lynchburg Virginian says: Hon.
Williatn Allen, who has just, been nomi
nated by tho Democratic Convention in
Ohio for the office of Governor, was a
Lynchburg boy. He was in Congress
from Ohio, forty years ago, and served
two terms in the Senate, from 1H37 to
1849. He is uncle to Senatoi-Chnrman
who is also a native of Lynchburg. Mr.
Allen is quite an old man now, having
long retired from an active participa
tion iu politics.
Standard Currency. —The question
of a standard currency throughout the
world is in a fair way of being solved.
Recent news from South America, con
firmed by dispatches form Washington,
is to tho effect that no less than eight
or ten of the different Governments of
-that part of the Continent havo applied
to the United (States to have their silver
coin manufactured at our national mint
of our standard dollar,half-dollar, dime,
half-dime and quarter dollar piocies,and
gold coin of our quarter and half eagle,
eagle and double eagle denominations,
with, of course, their own distinctive
designs, but of the same values of our
coin, so as to be interchangeable. Con
gress will be asked next winter to pass
a law authorizing the coinage, which, if
successful, will soon make the coin of
this half of the globe of one value, and
do more to produce an international
money system than all the French the
ories and financial writers could bring
about in a century.
Thoughts for Reflection. —Schiller
tells us that every man stamps his value
on himself. The price we challenge for
ourselves is given us. Man is made
great or little by his own will.
He is a wise man, says Gladstone,
who wastes no energy on pursuits for
which he is not fitted : and he is still
wiser who. from among the things that
he can do well, chooses and resolutely
follows the best. It is the declared opin
ion of the great Faraday,that that point
of education which consists in teaching
the mind to resist its desires and inclin
ations until they are proved to be right,
is the most important of all, not only in
things of natural philosophy, but in ev
ery department of life.
It has well been said that anybody
can soil the reputation of an individual,
however pure and chaste, by uttering a
suspicion that his enemies will believe
and his friends never hear of. A puff !
of the idle wind can take a million of the
seeds of the thistles, and do a work of
mischief which the husbandman must
labor long to undo. Such are the seeds
of slander, so easily sown, so difficult to
gather up, aDd yet so pernicious in their
fruits.— Col. Sun.
