For Everybody to Read. “A Philadelphia Judge rejected nju- ror the other day merely becmn» he had been in the penitentiary for as- sanlt and battery, mandaughter, grand larceny and highway robbery.’’ If be bad excluded ail who onght to have been sent to the penitentiary, he would have had a good democratic jury. At Key West, a few days ago, an other gun went off that was not load ed. One less victim for Yellow Jack this summer, whilst the perpetrator is loaded with remorse. It is now thought that ho may <yo off unless the load is drawn. [Any person not see ing the point in this, will have it sat isfactorily explained by calling at oar office jast alter dinner.] “A^tone-cutter in Detroit keeps read^Bade gravestones with the name —Smith cut thereon.” He might safely have pat on, John Smith. “Advice to Youno Ladies*—Nev er marry a man until you have seen him eat. Let the candidate for yonr hand, ladies, pass through the ordeal of eating soft-boiled eggs. If he can doit and leave the table-cloth, the napkin, and his shirt unspotted, take him. Try him next with a spare-rib. If he accomplishes this feat without putting out one of his own eyes, or pitching the bones into yonr lap, name ibe wedding-day at once—he will do to tie to.—Exchange.” Bring on your soft-boiled eggs and spare-ribs. “Give me a Chaw.”—The Utica Herald has discovered that “it is un lawful for tobacco chewers to beg a chew. Tho United States internal revenue law allows no person or per sons to sell or dispose of tobacco in any form no matter how small or great tho bulk, without paying lirst a li cense of 85.” We flatter ourselves that this para graph will cause a flutter, in certain localities on Broad Street 2 he following is the motto of the Temperance girls: “Tim lipa that touch wine, Shall never touch mine.**—Exchange. N. B. We never drink Wiue under any circumstances. Someone is advertising a compound to keep a lady’s hand free from chaps. Difficult thing, especially, if she wears diamonds. “For taking a corpse out of the cof fin and rolling it in the mud a resur rectionist of Glasgow. Scotland, has been fined $4,20, the lightness of the penalty being accounted for by the fact that the corpse was that of his mother-in-law.—Macon Telegraph.” We know of some who would see that $4,20, and go something better, to see tho old lady properly boxed up. He Couldn’t Drink Wink.- -That was a noble yonth, who, on being urg ed to take a glass of wine at the table of a famous statesman, in Washington had the moral courage to refuse. He was a poor young man, just beginning the struggle of life. He brought let ters to the great statesman, who kiud- ly invited him home to dinner. ‘•Not take a glass of wine?” said the great statesman, in wonderment and irnrise. “Not one simple glass of wine!” echoed the statesman’s beautiful and fascinating wife, as she arose, glass in hand, and, with a grace that would have charmed an anchorite, endeav oring to press it upon him. “No,” said the heroic youth, reso lutely, gently repelling the proffered glass. What a picture of moral gxanducr was that. A poor, friendless youth refusing wine at the table of a wealthy and famous statesman, even though proffered by the fair hands of a beau tiful lad}*. No,” said the noble young man, and his voice trembled a little aud his cheek flushed. “I never drink wine, but—(here he straightened himself up and his words grew firmer,) if you’ve got a little good old iye whisky, I don’t mind trying a snifter.” ’ That young man will get into Con gress yet, and probably vote himself some back pay. U A little eight year old Tennessee jirl sent her beau a love-letter a few lays since, remarkable quite as much for its brevity os for its being right to the point; “They that seek me early shall find me.” The girls commence this kind of thing very early, aud some of them keep it up very late. lire St. Louis Republican recom mends an ambitious debating society in Kansas to take as its next subject, “Which is Ihc butt end of a goat ?” We know a fellow that fouud out not long since which was the butt end without debating it He has had dam ages repaired, however. The slight est movement in the rear now, causes him to get around with an alacrity heretofore unknown. It is pleasant to contemplate these evidences ofac tivity. The Eufaula Times savagely pro poses to blow up the Alabama Legis lature with nitro-glycerinc. From accounts they would not go very far in an upward direction. Ma con complacently proposes to writtf all necessary obituaries. It could soon be done. D. D. D. “The Mississippi river is on a tre mendous bender, on account of the recent rains, and a big freshet is ap- prenended.’' We have a very vivid recollection of Millikin’s bend, just above Vicksburg, in the Spring of 1863. Grant was at that time on big bender in that imme diate locality. He bent all around us. The British pnblic will be pleased to learn that a debating society in Car rollton have decided that Andre should not have been executed. Aaron Burr is the next bore of contention.

The following will give our readers some idea of judicial amenities on the Pacific slope. WearelefMn doubt as to whether the $100 was found or not. We are inclined to the opinion, how ever, that the amount was compromis ed on “drinks all around.”: “A Sacramento lawyer remarked to the Court : “It is my candid opinion, Judge, you are an old fooL” The Judge allowed his mildly beaming eye to foil upon the lawyer a brief moment, then in a voice husky with suppressed to bacco juice—and emotion, said, “It is mycandid opinion that you are fined A man bythe name of Smith died recently in Virginia.

General Fremont has been convicted and sentenced to five years imprison ment in Pans. He is still in the Uni ted States. It is not announced at what time he will sail for France. “A young girl left Lowell, Mass, two years ago with $500 dollars in her pocket, and went to Kansas and turn ed farmer. She could sell out her property this day for $60,000.” This for the benefit of any of onr young friends who may be going west ward. Melancholy Intelligence—Re ported Death of J. N.—A young man named Stubbs, connected with the mechanical department of our pa- K ir, has made an improvement on ogardus’ Kicker which relieves it somewhat of its lethal character. In the place of the boot, or kicker, he has instituted a stuffed club for mild cases and first offenders. Last night the immortal J. N., who has just returned from his Southern tour, came into our oflice, and seating himself in the Bo- gardus chair, commenced clawing the exchanges. He wanted a Boonevillc (Miss.) Pantagraph. The news editor turned on .Steam, the hook descended and caught the philosopher, and the stuffed club commenced oscillating in the neighborhood of his coat-tails.— Upon being released, the veteran wanted to know if we had established a harbor-shop in connection with regular business. He said that he hadn’t had his trowsers dusted so nicely since the nigger was hung. Wc shifted the machine and attached the boot. The unfortunate man’s remains will be forwarded to McCutchenville to-inoi row.—Cincinnati Enquirer. The heading to this short paragraph will cause a thrill of plcasuro to inauy a boarding house keeper South. We fear that the effects will not prove so serious as we wish, from tho invulner ability of the pare assaulted. Re peated contact with bool leather is apt to toughen the parts. The Hub proposes to revolve around about $31,000 worth the 4th of July. James’ Island.—Several of our citizens have in contemplation the erection of cottages on James’ Island for Summer residences. In fact some of them have already arranged for tho buildiug and work will commence at once. This will afford a pleasant, healthy resort in hot weather near home at a trifling expense. We hope a number will go into it—Floridian. This is a move in the right direction. A Rail Road from here to Alligator Harbor would open up a very pleas ant resort for our people. A member of a Georgia Board of Education spells knowledge “nollige.” He is willing to be adopted by some- who can afford to send him to a night school.—JV. Y. Com. Advertiser. Wc do not hesitate to say that this was some dirty carpet-bagger, that conic South to teach the colored idea to shoot, to get elected to some oflice, or to steal something. Wc have no doubt of bis having accomplished the latter. Bill of Fake.—Entrees—One pint of Old Rye, one half dozen cigars, tweuty fried cat-fish, four pounds corn bread, one pound tabic salt, one half dozen onions, one half gallon coffee. Dinner.—One pint OM Rye, one- half dozen cigars, two lemons, one boiled tongue, naif dozen onions, one pound light bread, one quarter pound Side Dishes—One pint Old Rye, lemon, one half dozen onions, one pound sat.—Eufanla Times. The above.is the bill ot fare ot a fish ing party from Eufaula. Shropshire’ eyes must have filled with tears, when he read and saw what ho missed. Two respectable young men have just beeu fouud guilty by the Criminal Court at Murfreesboro, under an in dictment for disturbing public wor ship, and fined $20 and costs each, amounting to about $75. Their of- tence was whispering to young ladies in church. Wonder if the girls did not whisper also. Be careful boy’s you bad better trust to signs. An exchange says: “The indictment ag.'iinst Susan B. Anthony, for votiug charges that she was a person of the female sex contrary to the laws ofithe United States, in such cases made and provided”. Now we have always been under the impression that the tattered, amen dedand patched, document allowed one to be born just as they pleased either male or female. If amendments aie in order, wc move that a clause be inserted prohibiting any more Susan Anthony’s. A volume has been printed in Ten nessee for distribution at the Vien na Exposition, setting forth the vast resources of the State and the advan tages afforded to immigrants. Ex tracts from this volnme will be pub lished in pamphlet form and in differ ent languages. The commissioners provided for by the Legislature and appointed by the Governor will be en trusted with the distribution of the work. That means business. Why could not Georgia have done the same thing. A convict in the Mississippi peniten tiary dog a tunnel one hundred and eighty feet long and got out. He used the handle of a spoon. and was nine teen months about it That fellQir deserved to get out. Onr Wonderland. Had the district now designated as the Yellowstone National Park been known in the earlier days of dvOiza- tion, there would have been many a legend of classic romance as closely associated, with its wonders as orades are with Delphian groves, or the gloom of Avernns with the lake that rests on the sulphurous soil of the Campana. Even the formal report for 1872. ot the Superintendent of the Park transmitted to the Secretary of the Interior, breaks ont at intervals in the superlatives by which language naturally attempts to describe that which surpasses it. The reports of the Exploring Expedition under Profl Hayden and the engraved drawing accompanying them have widely fa miliarized the public with the leading features of this land of geysers and mud volcanoes, of plunging cataracts and precipitous canons. The report of tho Superintendent gives many new particulars of the scenery and the cu riosities, and specifies the simpler de tails of route, outfit and mode ot travel, which are so necessary to the traveler in a region little known. July, Au- guet and September arc the best months for visiting it, and these, for tunately, are the months when our busy people are most at liberty. Which of ns, reading ot the sunny slopes of Vesuvius, or the fleecy sum mits of the Alps, has not sighed in thinking that a wide and stormy ocean intervenes between us and thoso at tractive scenes? But grander, wilder, and yet lovlier scenery is now within a week’s journey, all by land, and all by rail. No tale of travel, or even of Eastern fairy-land, offers anything stranger than the Upper Basin, where hundreds of geysers project vast quan- ties of steam and water in every con ceivable form, gleaming in the sun shine with rainbow colors, glittering by moonlight with a dazzling white ness. Around Yellowstone Lake there are snowclad mountains, whose peaks have as yet proved inaccessible, being among the loiliest on the conti nent From the bosom of the lake, be tween its green and beaulifiil islands, from time to time the water springs in air, and jets of steam arise. The Grand Canon of the Yellowstone is a chasm forty miles in length, from cne to three thousand feet in depth. Jets of hot vapor issue from its sides.— Cataracts plunge iuto it. From its depths the stats aro visible in the day time. To the naturalist aud the student of the physical sciences, there arc oppor- tumtes here of the grandest character. There ate net only novelty and the chance—nay, the certainty—of liberal additions to note-books and cabinets: there is a field wliero the most stupen dous operations of nature and the problems of the earth’s history are developed before the very eyes of the observer. There are basins lined with the most varied colored porphyries, and waters in which if any object be plunged it is covered with a caicite as pure as alabaster. There are depths of sulphurous vapors aud of steaming springs that the plumet has not yet sounded. And there is not only an infinite variety in these objects of cu riosity; they are changing in form and character, some hour by hour, some age by age. In some places the cen tral heat has piled up its monuments and departed; in others it is evidently diminishing in power. Within the two years since their discovery the geysers have closed and new ones have opened. Pine trees more than a hundred feet in height, that were growing on the margin of a mud vol cano, have within the same period sunk into and been ingulfed by it, and the volcano itself has ceased operation, leaving only dried hillocks and a shapeless crater. Surely these’days when tho frailty of the means employed to preserve voyage is from the daugcis of the sea has been made so terribly apparant, the artist, the tourist, the seeker tor health, for pleasure, or for scientific knowledge may, with advantage, take counsel of his fears, his purse, and his convenience, and find all that eye or imagination craves within the limits of our own domain.—New York Trib- IIow MorriecT^Slen Sew Buttons. It is bad enough to see a bachelor sew on a button, but he is the embodi ment of grace alongside of a married Necessity has compelled expe rience in the case o: the former, but that the latter has always depended on some one else for this service, and fortunately for the sake of society, it is rarely he is obliged to resort to the needle himself! Sometimes the pa tient wife scalds her right hand or runs sliver under the nail of the index linger of that hand, and it is then the man clutches the needle around the neck, and forgetting to tic a knot in the end of the thread, commences to put on the button. It Is always in the morning, and from five to ten minutes after he is expected down the street, //e lays the button exactly on the site of its predecessor, and pushes the nee dle through one eye, and carefully draws the thread after, leaving about three inches of it sticking up for lee way. He says to himself, “Well, if women don’t have the easiest time I ever see.” Then he comes back the other w ay, and gets the needle through the cloth well enough, and lays himself out to find the eye; but in spite of a great deal of patient jabbing, the nee dle point persists in bucking against the solid part of that button, aud final ly, when he looses patience, his fingers catch the thread, and that three inches he had left to hold the button slips through the eye in a twinkle, and the button rolls leisurely across the floor. He picks it up without a single remark, out of respect for his children, and makes another attempt to fasten lL— This time when coming back with the needle he keeps both the thread and button from slipping by covering them with his thumb, and it is out ol regard for that part of him that be feels around for the eye in a very careful and judicious manner, but eventually, lasing his philosophy as the search be comes more and more hopeless, he fails to jabbing about in a loose and savage manner, and it is just then the needle finds the opening, and comes up through the button and iiart way through his thumb with a celerity that no human ingenuity can guard again*L Then he lays down the things, with a few tamiliar quotations, and presses the iinared hand between his knees, and then holds it under the other arm, and finally jams ft into his month, and nil the while he prances about the floor and calls upon heaven and earth, to witness that there has never been anything like it since the world was created, and bowls and whistles, and moans and sobs. After a while be calms down, and pats on his pants, fettoos them together with a stick and goes to his taainess a changed Jktnbv] Noes, Don’t Cadi a Man a Liar. Never tell a man that he is a liar, un less yon are ceit&in yon can lick him; for as a general role, when yon say that, it means fight I have arrived at this conclusion through sad experience. I know that it is not safe to give the lie to a mus cular Christian. I did once. I am sorry for it now as I never grieved for anything else in the whole course of my life. Wc were standing on the sidewalk in front of the dob, when I made the statement We had been talking poli tics, and men who talk politics and who get over it are—to pat it mildly —lunatics or else want an office. This man made an assertion touching the feme of my favorite candidate, which I believed to be untrue. It is proba ble that if it had been true as it was false, I should have taken the same course, because you understand how 1 got my ornamental eye. 1 mildly suggested that a man who would make such a statement as that was lost to all sense of shame and would bo guilty of any base crime. He disagreed with me on that point As for nimsclf he never made a statement except upon the most ample proof My candidate was tho meanest man that ever went unhung. I told him he lied. I have been kicked by a mule; have fallen out of a second story window on hard pavements; eaten persimmons; beard Miss Blow read poetry for two hours and a half; skated, hunted, rode a sharped backed horse of mustang parenage, an adept in the art of “buck ing,” suffered griefs of varous kinds and still clung to life—but all these arc feathers in the balance compared with that little word, liar. Immediately after saying it I sat down not in the way people usually sot down. I sat on the rim of my right ear, about ten teet from the spot where I bad beeu standing when i made uso of the expression quoted above. I am not used to sitting in that position and I do not think it agreed with me. I have heard of people who got up on their ear and walked off. I wished I knew how to do it, I would have pro pelled myself away from that spot im mediately, if 1 hod possessed this happy faculty. I proceeded to briug myself to a perpendicular, fully unend ing to use the means of locomotion nature had given me; but when 1 came right side up, something heavy run against my nose, aud os I felt rather tired I sat down on my othei ear. I like a change—it is too monoto nous doing tho same thing* over again. Somebody took my large friend away and I was quite pleased when lie was gone. I have concluded to look twice at a man before I givo tho lie again. My eye is in mourning, my nose swelled to the size of a citron with the cojor of a blush rose, aud my store clothes look like they had been run through a patent sausage machine. I ould not have that mau’s temper for auything in the world. To the Friends of Negro Labor in the State of Georgia. Auqusta, Ga., April 10,1873. At the meeting of the Agricultural Society ot this State last February, held iu this city, the following Resolu tion was adopted: Resolved, That a committee of ti _ bo appointed, with Col. D. E. Butler, Chairman, to consider and report at the next convention of tho society the best plan of preventing colored emi gration from the State. Accordingly, Mr. Johnson, Assis tant Secretary, informs me that the following are tho genllomcn named by the President: D. E. Butler, Chairman, Capt. T. G. nolt, Jr., Macon; Col. W. J. Ander son, Fort Valley; Hon. John C. Rags dale, Lithonia, aud Co?. John II. Fit- ten, Adairs ville. The object of this communication is to invite co-operation, gather statis tics, facts, and as much other informa tion as we may, that a good report be made in August next, at Athens, to the society. The committee will gladly receive letters, and promptly reply. Write to any of us. Will not planters as a class, give us the result of their experience and rea soning on the subject? Will not some of the railroads lake a leisure moment and arrange for us such information as the rccorJs in their office may af ford, viz: how many negro laborers have gone out of Georgia over their lines, and how many came in, if any? The question is, “is it true that they arc going away?- Then how shall we keep them here? My address is, D. E. Butler, Chairman, Care of J. J. Pearce, Butler <fc Co., Augusta, Ga. P.

The Tennessee Mitrailleuse.— The New York South says: Without doubt the most wonderful invention of modern times in the w^y of guns is the recent invention of Mr. J.P. Taylor, oi Elizabethton, Tcnti., of a new American Revolving Mitrail leuse. We attended a trial of this gun at the manufactory of Wm. F. Ilolske, on Tuesday last. Several newspaper men were present, and Gen. J. T. Wil der, of Chattanooga. The gun per formed much better than the most sanguine expected, firing with won derful rapidity at the rate of 1,400 balls per minute. This is the first and only &un of the kind ever made, and so far as the ex periments have gone, it now far sur passes the celebrated Galling gun or the French mitrailleuse. Gen. Wilder will take this gun to Vienna, where it will be on exhibi tion during the Exposition. Be Frank and Determined.— Never affect to be other than what vou are—either richer, or wiser, or braver.

During the discourse tbc clergyman looked right out at our iu- nocent friend, and said, in a touc of thrilling cloqucucc, “Young tnau,you have au important responsibility thrust upon you.” The newly fledged dad, supposing the preacher alluded to his peculiar homo event, considerably startled the audience by exclaiming, “Yes, I have two of’em.” In the course of a spicy article iu answer to the question “arc advertise ments ever read,” tho Mobile Register says; “If any man a fleet* to believe that .advertisements are not read, let him advertise that he wants to buv t dog, for instance.

And it is lair to iufer I any mau who wauts to sell a dog, also wishes to buy something with the p cceds of his canine venture. Arm up to the man who wishes to sell his cargo of coffee thul he may buy a go of Western produce. Of all the evils prevalent an men, we know of none more blighting in its moral tdl'ccis than to s]»cuk slightingly of the virtue ol woraau. Nor is there anything in which young meb are so thoroughly mistaken as the low estimate they form oi the in tegrity of woman—not of their own mothers and sisters, but of others, who they forget arc somebody rise's ers and sisters. As a rule, no who surrenders to this debasing habit is to be trused with any enterprise re quiring integrity of character. 1’laiu words should bo spoken on this point, for the evil is a general one, and deep rooted. Let Dur young men remember that their chief happiness of life de pends unon tiicir utter faith in woman. No worldly whdom, no misanthre philosophy, no generalization, > cover or weaken this fundamental truth.
