Plant your faith in Truth. Boot your habits in industry. Root your feelings in benevolence. Root your affections in God. For directions, see the Holy Scrip tures and beware of counterfeit creeds and theologians. The old Capitol thinks that Mil— ledgeville w.U he accessible when there is a narrow gauge built from Eaton ton to Madison. This project is now talked of as an inducement oget M llledgeville as the capitol. Our Mexican Complication*. Ihe State Department positively declines for the presuit, to make known the tenor of the recent dis patches from Mexico, and with a view to keep the people in ignor ance, is disposed rather ’o belittle tlpir leal purport. It appears that Diaz is not only incensed because of the frequent incursions by Federal troops into Mexican Vrritorv, but because he considers lie was duped by Secretary Evarts in the matter of the payment of the last installment of the Mexican Indemnity Fund. It was his understanding when he raised the money that upon iis pay ment his authority as President of the Republic was to be recognized. To his surprise, when it was ready to be paid Evarta refused to receive it from Mata, Diaz’s minister, and payment was made through Lerdo’s former representative at this place Advices received from Mexico of an unofficial nature represent that a determined attitude on the part of Mexico toward the United States is forced upon Diaz by the popular will of the people. There is a grow ing feeling of hatred toward the Uni ted States, and it is quite problema tical if Diaz can restrain his coun trymen from increased and repeated border depredations, should he be ever so willing. The outlook alto>- get her is not favorable to peace ; and it may be that instead of the United States giving Mexico casus belli, the Mexican may be the one to knock the chip off of our shoulders. Evarts is sorry that the New York Republicans are so divided. Should-be-Y iee-ITesiJent Thomas A. Hendricks has returned from his European tour. He is warned to watch “little Mao” whose chances for the next Presidency* are growing. Judge Kelley estimates the inde pendent vote of Pennsylvania any where between twenty and eighty thousand. No one can tell which party will get this vote. So even that state is very uncertain for the Republican party*. It is now thought that the fighting season with the Eastern belligerents, is about over, aud a drawn battle will be the result of the campaign. Perhaps before the lighting ‘eason again sets in diplomacy may prevent another eam paign. Greece has sent afresh dispatch to her representative at London, point ing out that neither intimidation nor a coup de main against Greece can sup press Hellenism. An unjust attack against Greece by the porte would in fallibly cause au insurrection of the en tire Hellenic people. Curtis offered a resolution at the Rochester Convention to the effect that “the lawful title of r Rutherford B. Ilaj'es to the Presidency is as clear and perfect as that of George Wash ington.” He made a speech of an hour and a half in defense of Mr. Hayes. In the course of his speech he said he never expected to see a Republican President without the least shadow of surrender of any Re publican principle, received in the slave slates of Georgia, Yirginia, or Tennessee with confidence and re spect.” Senator Conkling followed him and carried the convention against Curtis,’ resolutions by* a two thirds vote. Ail Oriental Incident. The Russo-Turkish war revives an old story. A Turkish and a Rus sian officer once fell into a dispute as to the superiority in disipline of their respective soldiers. ‘‘l can prove to you on the spot,” said the Russian. “how perfectly our men are trained,” and he called Ins ordcrlv. “Ivan!’ “Sir.” ‘‘Go to Mihemet’sj buy me a pound of lobacco, and come hack at once. ” The soldier saluted, turned on his heel, and went out. “Now,” said the Russian officer taking out hiswat .h. “my orderly is walking straight to the next corner wheic he must turn—now he is turn ing—now he is opposite the white mosque—now he is crossing the may dan—now he is at Mehemct’s—now he is buying tiie tobacco—now lie is coming back—now he is oil the block below us—now he is at the door—now”—and the Russian called out: “Ivan!” “Sir. ” Where’s the tobacco!'” “Here, sir.” The Turkish officer, showing no sign of surprise at the precision of this Russo-tobacco movement promp tly broke out: “Ho! ho! my soldier can do that every day In the week,” and he called: “Much tar!” “Sir.” “Go to Ali Effendi’s any see that you bring me a pound of tobacco. My pipe is empty. “lnstautly, sir.” Following the tactics of tli.e Rus sian officer, the i'urk pulled, out liis watch and went on: “Now Much tar is in the street; now he is passing the palpooch ba zar; now it is noon and he i* saying his prayers; now he is drinking at the stone fountain; now Ali Likendi hails him and asks about my he alth; now Muchtar is paying for th<a tobacco; now lie is coming ha k another wn\ now he is on our street; now hi is a the door; now—” “Mm htai!'’ shouted the oSli -or. “Sir,” “Where i- the t b.u-eo?” “/ haveilt fun el nt y shoes y< f!" 1 ih-Ic l>U-k\ l'irl i'lict'l. From the Tarboro (X. C.) Souilieruor His Honor Judge ’annon was as much amused as the ! ar, jury* an i sjKrtatois in the court room on Thursday of lust week, when Dick Barnes, a sombre-brown African, con victed of larceny, was brought up for sentence. “Mister Judge,” says Dick, “will you low me to sj eak a word ?' i “Certainly,” responded the Court; “let’s hear you.’’ “Mister Jedge, I clar fore Go 1 I never stole nothin’ in my life, ’cep ten a pig-tail at a hog-killin’ time from my ole missus when 1 was a boy, an .

I felt so mean an’ got so tired of dat pig tail dat I nev er stole nothin’ sense. Dat’s a fue." The Great Wall of Clh’na. The great wall of China was meas ured in many places by Mr. Untlumk an American engineer, lately en gaged on a survey for a Chinese rail way. His measurements give the height at 18 feet, and a width on top of 15 feet. Every few hundred yards there is a tower 24 feet square, and from 20 to 42 feet high. The foundation of the wall issolid gran ite. Mr. Untlumk brought a brick from the wall, which is supposed to have been made two hundred years before the time of Christ. In build ing this immense stone fence to keep oat the Tartars, the builders never attempted to avoid mountain, and every foot of the foundation is m sol id granite, and the rest of the struc ture solid masonry. In some places the wall is built smooth up against the bank, or canyons, or precipices where there is a sheer descent cf a thousand feet. Small streams aie arched over, but in the larger streams the walls runs to the water’s edge and a tower is built on each side. On the top of the wall there are breastworks, or defenses, facing m and out, so the defending force can pass from cue tower to another without being exposed to the enemy from either side. To calculate the time of building or cost of this wall is beyond human skill. So far as the magnitude of the work is con cerned, it surpasses anything in an cient or modern times of which there is any trace. The pyrmids of Egypt are nothing compared to it,—Lon dun Yews. lion. 11 11. Hill, having been in vited to addres the people of La Grange on the new constitution, and j the capital question and being unable i to go, addressed the following letter 7 . 0 | which was published in the Repor ter : Atlanta, September 29, 1879 My I)i:ah Sir —I received your very kind letter some days ago. you asked me to visit LaGrange and give my views to my old neighbors in Troup county, on the new consti tution and the capital question. Ire gret I shall not be able to visit you, but 1 will briefly express my views, which you can hand to the Reporter for insertion in its columns On the question of ratifying the new constitution, 1 need only to re affirm the opinions I expressed to a pul die meeting in this city at the close of the convention. For the reasons then given, and for many : which I might now add, I think the constitution ought to be ratified. Whatever objectionable features may exist can be readily cured by amend ment. As indications point clearly to an almost unanimous ratification, I shall not discuss this question fur ther. On the other question suggested for my views—whether the future capital of our state shall be Atlanta j or Milledgeville (for we are restricted ! to the.-e two cities) —there seems to ; be quite a division of public opinion, j 1 tlunk this division is largely owing to irrelevant and improper issues made in the discussion by the mere partisans of the respective cities. The people of either city are quite as good as those of the other city, and no better. Neither city has any nat ural or acquired right to be the fu ture capital, and the interests of neither should be considered. My own opinion is it will not seriously benefit either city to have the capital, nor seriously benefit either city to have the capital, nor seriou-ly in jure either to be without it. Much of our history, as a stat: 1 , was enac ted at Milledgeville, but that city did not enact it. The work was done by the people of the state, through their representatives, and while the dear old city' is classic ground in all the future, the work which makes it clas sic was Georgia work, and not Mil ledgeville work. There are no bet ter people in this state, or in any other state, than the people of Mil ledgeville. Memories, both sad and pleasant, cause me to revere the place and cherisn its people. The removal of the c ipital to At lanta in 1868, was part of a bold us urpation. But the people of Atlan at voted against the usurpation—vo ted against the whole and every part of it. °lt is, therefore, not only un just but iu my judgment exceedingly unmanly even to attempt or desire to ereue prejudice against Ailanta be cause of this usurpation Besides I the convention lets wisely submitted this capital question ns a separate, in dependent and original proposit on to the people, and it is unfair to s ok to inllueuce vo es ex ept ui its mer its as an original proposition. 10 ii tluenee votes by untrue or un just methods of reasoning is not on ly wrong, but more than ordinarily " long since it injuriously infects pub lie interest, and public interest* are greater ill in pri\:e interest. D scalding, t on, all personal, all local and all ui just and improi>er con sider.it.ons, let us consider only those reasons whieh sh> uhl properly inllu* cnee us in deeiding the simple ques tion whether Milledgeville or Atlan ta is the b.tter place for the future capital of Georgia 1. Whieh place would be the most convenient to the greatest number of our people? This is the first and and givat consideration always aris ing in locating a capital* My own opinion is that Atlanta at this time is conveniently accessible to twice as many of our people as Milledgeville. In the near future this number will increase. The time is not distant when the number will be fivefol 1. It s, indeed, a reason which will grow constantly in strength. Ido not doubt that population will increase in lower Georgia, but middle and up per Georgia will increase in popula tion much more rapidly. No man who knows the history of popula tions in America can differ with me on this question. Now. is it right, is it just for a mi nority to insist that the greatest num ; her shall be subjected to inconveu ienee f r their own accommodation. I 1 think not. If I liyed in Millulge ville 1 should vote, as a sense of du for Atlanta to be the future cap ital, unless there are other reasons outweighing this one. 3. In the next place let u* consid er t.he que-tion ot economy, for this is an important matter. I’he public‘builuings of the state, in Atlanta, are quite as good (I think better) as those in Milledgeville. if i the future capital goes to Milledge- , ville, the present capital building in Atlanta will be practically lost to the state, lor 1 happen to know that this city is entitled justly ami honorably to subject this building to a debt that will cover it if the capital is remov ed. And the state is a party to this contract, made not by a republican but by a democratic state admimstra tion. If anew capitol has to be built, it will cost as much to build in Mil ledgeville as in Atlanta. The state will certainly be greatly aided in At lanta and it will not be aided in Mil ledgeville. Take any view of the question of j economy and it is clear to me that i the advantage is with Atlanta. 8. 1 hope this question as to where ! our capital shall be in the future will j now be settled for all time. It will not be so settled if Millodgo ) ville is now selected. For many I years before the war there was an ov er growing feeling to remove the 1 capitol from Milledgevil’e Every reason which created this feeling still exists, and will grow stronger. Es- i peeially will this be the case if the 1 vote in favor of Milledgeville is se cure:! by appeals to mere prejudices Georgia is a growing state. She is destined to be a very gnat aud p >p ulous state. The child is born who will s e four millions of people in up j per Georgia with Atlanta as the great central city, with over one hundred thousand inhabitants—perhaps sev eral hundre 1 thousand. There are , far more reasons lor population to j come to upper Georgia than ever ex isted in Massachusetts or l’eiisylva- I nia Evciy variety of industry' will thrive in upper Georgia, and will be a necessity of the future. Ihe business of the capital will greatly multiply, and that great pop ulation of the future will certainly re ! turn the capital to Atlanta if we now fix it at Milledgeville. The agitation which existed before the war on this subject will be revived in the very na ture of things and will ineiv ase. Let us settle it now for all time and end the agitation. If the capital had been removed to Atlanta in 1808 by a fair vote of our jieople, and had not been a feature of t lie usurpation of that period, everybody" would be satisfied with Atlanta as the capital and the present agitation would not exist. It is sa:d the legislature will be more exposed to corrupt influences in Atlanta. There is less than nothing in this point. The corruptions of the laT ten years had their origin in the 1 times and have existed everywhere. Corruption does not come of places but of men. The only guarantee of good and honest government is in capable and honest men in olhce, and this is all with the people. Looking, therefore, at the ques tion in the light of the present and the future, and considering only the interest of the state, I am very clear ly of the opinion that Atlanta is the most proper place for the future cap ital of Georgia. Milledgeville must give wav to Atlanta as Louisville did to'Milledgeville, and as Savannah did to Louisville. It is simply the result of the growth of tilings and is no injustice or discredit to Milledge ville or any* other place. With high est regards, ’ am your friend, Renj. 11. Hill. D. X.

A short while after th-- flowers fall, an incision is made in the uuiijic capsule from w hich a concrete juice exudes, which is scraped off with a blunt spatula, and moistened with saliva to a consistency to be roiled in balls, after which it is wrapped in leaves, and in this sha) it is found in the market under the name of crude opium ; the chemist prepare* from tills the different prepar ation*. Opium is composed of Morphia. Narcotiua. Meconie Acid, N are- in, Meconine, Caoutchouc, and numerous other constituents, with like pr.qs-rties. The varieties in commerce are known as the Smyr na, Constantinople, Egyptian, Persian and the In dian. In small doses it is a stimulant to the great neivous centers : in large doses it is sedative, ano dyne and narcotic. It operates entirely through the nervous system.
