THOMASTON, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 27, 1871. yVIISCELLANEOUS. Monthly Oration of the Thomaston Lit erary Society. I he following is an oration chlirpred by Pent R. D. Shuptrine before the Tnomaston Literary Society on the 2nd iost.; GREAT RESULTS OPTEN’ FOLLOW PLIGHT CADBEB. Some of the discoveries cal science t: at long baffle*! the deepest research, have been revealed by the simplest accident; and many important moral and political changes that could n**t be effected by the power of the sword, yield gradually to the influence of very slight causes. But the wonderful results produced by trivial agencies are not confined alone to moral and political spercs. Even nature herself chooses to accomplish mostrof-her beautiful works in this in inner. From the tiniest seeds trodden by the foot of man, does the earth robe itself in all that verdure so delightful to th** eye, and all it« enchanting scenery which it is the highest ambition of art to imitate. Everywhereui the kingdom of nature do we see a combination of trifl'ng causes pro ducing wonderful effects. Each little rill that oozen in ebrysta! drops from the .moun tain s side, instinct with the laws of gravi tation, seeks the valley, where it swells the broad current that sweeps the shores of dis tant States as it rolls homeward t » the ocean. The rni«ty vapors, which th® light est z phets may sweep from ocean’s bosom, form in the heavens the terrible thunder cloud, that is rent by the lightnings, and drenches the earth with itsdeseending floods. The smallest insect, obeying the law of its being, builds the coral reef; vegetation springs up over it, and anew borne is err ated for man. Thus we see what insignifi cant means nature often employs to accom plish her great ends. So it is with those things that affect man morally, intellectually and politically. Often are gl rious victories and great achieve merits forgotten because they produce no permanent results ; while some seemingly unimportant event is remembered by its effect upon mankind, and its impression upon history becomes indelible. • The flying of a kite taught man to “tame the lightnings.” and make them subservis ent to his will. Ilis messages are, now, •ent from one end of the continent to the other on the wings of electricity ; nis th* ughta invade the home of the deep, and flash through the darkest caverns of the sea, on their mission round the world. The dropping of an apple, led a reflective min>l to comprehend the laws * f gravitation, to solve many mysteries of nature which had so long puzzled the wisest phil ososphers, and taught the law that governs the revolving universe, with its myrids upen myrids of worlds. So in the political world do momentous results often, follow gome trivial cause. Who could have foreseen that the tax of two pence per pound upon tea would lose England her American Colonies; and prove the germ from which should spring a Re public favored, in many re«pec's, like the fabulous Ilesperi les so long dreamed of, by the Ancients, as the abode of happy mortals ? When Patrick Ilenry stood upon the floor of the Virginia of Burgesses nearly one hundred years ago, hD great soul burn ing with the fire, of prophecy, and, with the light of defiance in his eye. thundered in the ears of the representatives, of Royalty the warning, that ‘ Cae s ar had his BruUis, Charles I , his Cromwell, and George 111 should pt'ofif by their example,”—then and there, was born that spirit of freedom which continued to increase until, from New Hampshire to Georgia, the cry, “to arms,” was heard among the people; and it con tinued to increase till the last ensign of tyrany was torn down in the West, and the thirteen stars took their place. The conse q'ienc*' of that oiue act has Meaped millions; and, doubtless, will affect the destinies of millions yet unborn. At Marseilles commenced a simple hymn that caused a patriotic excitement to swell in the hearts of the French people from Lyons, to Calais, sweeping like a whirl wind rs pa«sion over*the country, until it burst forth into that terrible revnlu tion that deluged France in blood. It was this “R ign of Terror”—“the bloodiest pic ture in the book of time”—that brought firth Napoleon, who led the French armies against the whole of Europe, und planted his victorious standard over nearly every capital on the Continent. —and destroyed over two millions of men in his wars. In T.atium pn outcast builds h ; s home, and fortifies it; it becomes a city over which the Goddess of liberty spreads her protecting wings. The nevghb ring prov inces are conquered, and annexed ; it is reared into a great republic, and its * eag’es glance in the rising and setting sun ;” her conquering legions return from every quar ter of the globe.—and Rome becomes mis tress of the whole world. Her laws are obeyed* frr.m Britannia to India, and her coffers fibed from every land and sea. So great was her physical and intellec tual power, that, though nearly two centuries have rolled over the ruins of her empire, her influence etill felt. Our laws still oopy her forme, and our language borrow* ► me of its greatest beauties fr *m hers; »ntl every republic that has fl lurished t-ince adepts her eagles as their standard. great re-ulfs have followed Luthcr’e exempts to correct th ■ abuses of Catholic- Though he aimed n.*t at first to change hi* religion, but simply to purify it, how fdntly g immered his bop u s of success! how w-*ak seemed his single arm to resist the migh’v power of she Po. e, at whose command Kings walked bare-foot to Borne, to do penance 1 How unequal one 8«<ul to the U-k of enlighteuing a world whose fetters <*f superstition and ign >ranee had been riv;t< and for ages by a designing priesthood 1 But regardless of the thunders of'the Vati can. bes re which Mmarchs trembled, he putin motion the wheels of the reformation, which have rolled on fr >m that time to this, and will continue to roll on, increasing in spei and and power, through ages to come— whose benefit no age or people can fully comprehend, and whose it.fluency eternity alone can measure. V ho can estimate the consequences that have resulted from the first clumsy and tedious efforts at printing ? Each little press is a streamlet that helps to swell the grpat River of Knowledge that is to wa-h ign ranee and vice from the land. It was the beginning of a power which though feeble at first, is fast becoming more lasting in its effeeftj and more wonderful in its achievements than the combined armies of the wor,d ; invincible than the iron clad Armadas that sweep the sCa ; before which monarchs bow, tyrants tremble and de-p>tisms fall—before which flee the clouds of superstition so long the protection of vice and error. The art that moulds the magnificent col umn and covers the plain with cities whose tall spires catch the first beams of the rising sun, or fashions the bark that “rid*‘« the wave like a thing of life,” does much foj' the prosperity of a c mntry But how far superior is the art that purveys foqd for the mind, and leads it to the conception of images of intellectual beauty surpassing all earthly comparisons. For its work will survive. Even wh-n these columns shall crumble to dust, and those cities, like Ninevah and Babylon, shall be swept from earth, and their sites forgotten ; when the tiha.ll cease to ebb, and whole • r, 'Di n g upon a waveless sea, — ju* w m n.n «/i me i: icss si! 11 en- its influence is upon immortal mind. Surgical Wonder—V Remarkable Case— A Man grafted Like a Tree. The case of Ge >rge Gardner, of this citv, who as our readers may remember, had his foot crushed <>n the M K. and T. Railroad, some time since, has given rise to an ex periment and a result in surgery of great interest to the profession an I destined to command the attention of scientific readers everywhere A report of the ca«e will doubtless find its way to the medical journ als, hut we may, without impropriety, give an outline of the experiment. It has been difficult to cause the healing of wounds w here any large surface of the skin was gone, as nothing hut skin will produce new skin, and this only for a short distance ( ! ess than an inch) around the margin. ll* nee in making amputations it has always been considered necessary to preserve a “flip” of the skin to fold over the exposed end of the limb in order to form a covering of skin and a good “stump.” But in Gardner’s case the patient was too weak to admit of amputation and it was a question of life or death to save the ankle j lint and to form a covering ot skin for the crushed and mangled stump. This was d-me bv a wondefnl process, viz ; hy trans planting or grafting on the w urided part from time to time a sma’l portion of skin from another part of the body. Pieces of §kin not so large as a grain of wheat were taken from the patient’s arm and grafted on the lacerated stump, where they took root, as it were, formed a nucleus for growth, and gradually spread till the whole surface was completely ervered with a sound and new integument of skin, and the young man has a good ankle joint and a beautiful stump. The surgeon in charge (whose name we are not at liberty to use) doe* not claim to be the discoverer of this treatment, the credit of which i* due to a onUhint***! surgeon of Paris —Mr. Riverdin we believe. But the present case is believed to be the most clearly defined and eminent ly successful one vet treated in the Uoi'ed States, and as such, will undoubtedly excite much interest 'n scientific circles. A Frather Found in a Tumor ny a La dy’s Face. —Some time sincealadv residing at the South End. while performing the ordinary duties of her household, was sud denly tak u n with a severe pain on the right iide of her face. Supposing it to be a spe cies of neuralgia, and that it wan’d soon pass off, she paid but little attention to it The however, continued to increa a e in violence, causing much suffering, and a few days subsequently a small swelling commenced to form on the inside of her face, gradually enlarging in size. Becoming somewhat alarmed, she deemed if. necessary to send f*r a phvsician, and Dr L R Shel don was accordingly called in. Ur» >n an ex animation of the case, befog fearful that the swelling might break and produce a lasting di-fi jur.nent of the Jadv’s.c mntenance, he decided to remove the tumor hv aid of surg ical instruments. 'The oper iti.rn required consider ib'e skill and caution, but it was successfully perf *rnried, rbe ladv undei going it with remarkable fortitude The torn r was found to c 'Pt iin a small fea'her about *>ne inch in ’ength, which was probably the cause of all the trouble. II *w i* came there is a won*d°r. Ronton ild, Miy i.

He makca a Speech and compliments m May »in«*t n. The Mobile Register gives the following account of a fMcn ; c of the St. Vincent's Schoul the other day ; At the eb se of childrens’* exercises Farther O’Cailahan addressed the May Q seen Mrs* Emma Ryan, and congratulat ed her in her elecii >n to the high honor c inferred upon her by the free ohoice of her school companions, and with the approba tion ol he" devoted teachers—the good Sis ters **f Charity. The election, he s tid. was not unlooked for hy him. as he well knew that Sf. Vincent's school could not furnish a ni ire worthy M ty Queen to«n Muss Rvan. She was one "f the children of the parish, who enrolled her name in that long li-t of pupils, who are now tfie pride of St. Vin cent’s, the glory of the Sisters, an honor to their parent#, and promise in the future to be a b’escing to Ritfisty. Proin her first en trance into St. Vincent's school to the pres ent, her conduct has been without blemish ; her obedience to the laws of the st-ho and has been.marked by her teachers, for its strict ness and thild-like simplicity, and her im provement in studies is a proof, as well of her industry, as of her capacity. He then thanked the children in general for the joy and pieature which they afforded to him, ther parents, relations and triends, by the worthy manner in which they went (hr *ugh the beautiful exercises of the even ing ; and reminded them that the crywns which then adorned their innocent brows . would soon fade and wither, and therefore they should ever strive for that unfading and immortal crown that Jesus gives to those who love Him and keep His holy law. Finally the reverend gentlemen thanked Mr. Plassman for his kind attententiun to the good Sisters and children, and for the free use of the delightful groundsel Frasca ti, which he considered equal in beauty and situation to any suburban retreat in the country. lie then requested Father Rvan to addre«sa lew words of encouragement to the children, end he. in his good nature, arose amidst an outburst of applause which the poet priest is held by every audience, no matter for what purpose collected. He. too, paid a handsome compliment to the Queen of the day, and congratulated her as having been the first of the name who wore a royal crown and wielded a royal sceptre, yet he knew there were many of the name who deserved the honor. Lie said much in reference to chaste manner 'in which the meek queen was dresspd. and referred with pleasure to the graceful grecian style ip which her beautiful hair was dressed. Would that I ooulc give his words as they fell from his eloquent lips, but I was so absorbed in the richness of his thoughts, and the beauty of his language, that my memory was lost in *L » —— -4* #*l *l**4 41,, urA.t f»om h m poetic soul. lie, too, drew the attention of the children to the Eternal May, tor which they were created ; and from the placid waters of the bay upon which he was then looking, he drew a beautiful figure of the child’s present life on earth with the glory of that life beyond the grave, to attain which, all must be as little children, pure, holy, simple, innocent and good. Eugenis at Chisrluuust—During the last six months a plaiuly dressed, gracelul lady, accompanied by three or four attend ants, might have been met any day walking in the lanes in and about Chiselhurst. Few of tho«e meeting her and failing to recog nize a familiar face would have suspected that one short twe've months since she was an Empress and wife of the ruler over a great and powerful nation. With the re-ig nation of royalty, sne hasa'»Hndoned every appearance of state. Every Sunday she walks to the little Catholic chapel, whatever the weather may be, and it is the rarest thing in the world to see her riding in a carriage. Her attire is of the simplest, and she may sometimes be seen walking in a plain cotton dress. She neither visits nor receives visitors in any number, and indeed carries h**r soc’uslbn so far that, when so licited to be present at a concert in the ne ghborhood, given for the benefit of her distressed subjects of former years, she de clined. For years the Empress has been • the leader of fashion, and toe least peculiari ty of manner or d’ess. whether intentional or not, has been faithfully copied by evpry ladv who pretends to belong in the slightest degree to the w >rld of fashion. Even now her manner of walking, with the body sligTitly bent forward, and the small stick which she frequently carries, is imitated by the ladies of Chi-elhurst. and a reflex of it may be traced far beyond that seclude I dis trict The feelings of the inhabitants to ward the Empress and the young prince have, after the fi'St curiosity, suredded into respect for her wish to keep herself quite private, and she now attracts no more at tention than any ordinary lady. The only effect has been to bring down a few people from London on Sunday mornings who visit the chapel for the purpose of gazing on royalty. llow Ladies Should Ki*»s.--Hardly any tw * females kiss alike.

In 1*66 a merchant received through the Post Office, it letter, written in a diaguised hand, as follows : “l owe the firm of . $ —, which I stole, and am anxi *us to pay. I hope to tell you of it personally, acme day. In the meantime I will mail yon ten dollars a week, commencing the flr.t of Jaly, till paid; interest aid principal will b* two thousand dollars * * * * * Do not try to discover me. I send one dol lar now. If v*>u accept, please advertise in the Her-’i *Pers mals,’ and eign yourself XY Z ' The merchant replied as requested. Every week, from that date, an envelope was received through the mail enclosing ten dollars, with no other writing hut the number of the payment received, with the following lines, written iu the same dis- hand : “Two hundreth payment. I send two dollars more. If you have got them all, please udvertiae in the Herald ‘Personal/ It not, please advertise how many are lost, and I will send them.” The merchant replied, “The two hundreth payment is received. All right. Come and se© me and your name shall be sacredly confidential.” A lew weeks after this young man met this merchant on the side walk and handed him a copy ot the New York Herald, pointing out the advertise ment under the head ot ‘ Personals,” and with a trembling voice said, “I am the persoh who wronged you while in your employ, and have been making my weekly payments to you until I paid the debt, which I hope God has forgiven.” “Never was my surprise greater,” says the merchant who communicates this fact, “than to stand before the individual* who had, for two hundred weeks, without fail, pai l me out ot his earnings the amount ho had taken from me ; and he, one of whom I uever had the least suspicion.” • Such an instance of continued steadfast ness of purp ise and ostentation, is evidence of true penitence and thorough reform. It should be recorded as an example for every one who had been guilty of this sin. It is proper to add that this young man is now in a prosperous business, enjoying the con fidence of his fellow-men. and is a worthy member of a Christian church. “Blessed is be whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.” Husbands Keup Out of the Kitchen. Husbands ought “to keep out of the kitchen.” A husband who did not, thus writes of the consequences : I found some fault sometime ago with Maria Ann’s custard pie, and tried to tell her how my mother made custard pie. Maria made the pie after my receipt. It lasted longer than any other pie we ever nan. Marta set it on me taoib every day for dinner, and you see I could not eat it because I forgot to tell her to put in any eggs or shortening. It was economical ; but in a fit of generosity I stole it from the pantry and gave it to a poor little boy in the neighborhood. The hoy’s funeral was largely attended by his former playmates. I did not go myself. Then there was the buckwheat cake. I told Maria Ann any fool could beat her making those cake*, and she said I had better try it So I d’d. I emptied the butter all out of the pitcher one evening, and set the cakes myself. I got the flour and the salt and water, and warned by the past, put in a liberal quantity of eggs and shortening. I shortened with tallow from roast beef, because I could not find any lard. I lit my pipe and pondered—yeast—yeast, to be Bure. I had forgotten the yeast. I went and woke up the baker and got rix cents’ worth of yeast. I set the pitcher behind the sitting- foom stove and went to bed. In the morniDg I got up early and pre pared to enjoy my triumph ; but I didn’t. That yeast was strong enough to raise the dead, and the batter was running all over the carpet. I scraped it up and put in an other and sh. Then I got a fire in the kitchen and put on the griddle. The first lot of cakes stuck to the griddle. The second dittoed, only more. Maria came down and asked what was burning. She advised rne to grease the griddle. I did so. One end of the griddle got too hot, and I dropped the thing on my tenderest c >rn while trying to turn it. around. Finally the cakes were ready for breakfast, and Maria got the other things. We sat down. My cake did not have exactly the right flavor. I took one m'outhful and it satis fied me. I lost my appetite at once. Maria would not let me put one on her plate. I think those cakes may be reckoned a dead loss The cat woo'd n t eat them. The dog ran off and stayed away three days alter one was ottered mm. ine Pens won't go in ten feet of th»*m. I threw them into the back yard and there has not been a pig on the premises since. I eat what is put before me now, and do not allude to my mother’s system of co king.
