' Atlanta, Jan 27.—Judge ^pea
8. Boynton of th.e Flint circuit is not
ing oourfc at Thomaston. The judge
made a great race for governor after
the death of Afoo Stephens, and is still
supposed to keep posted about guber
natorial polities A Journal corres
pondent got the following iptei view out
of him yesterday morning, which will
be read with interest:
“Who will be the noxt governor of
Georgia?”;
“I don’t know,” replied his honor,
very dryly.
“Of course not, but exercise your
prophetic wisdom just a little, and tell
me what you think of the situation.”
“Well, if Tom Hardeman doesn’t
enter the race, Blount will stand a fair
showing.”
“Do you consider Col. Hardeman a
more formidable candidate than Mr.
Blount?”
“I didn’t say that, but being from
the same district, they would very
much cripple each other.’
VYon thick Blount will be certain
to run then?”
“If he regards his election as very
probable. Blon'nt wants to bo gover
nor bat he is not the man to enter
race where defeat is likely.”
“Will Berner be a candidate?”
"“Oh, no! Berner has his eye c
oongress. Ho’Jl bo out, of course, aud
will make a good race. His connect
ion with the legislature will be a great
advantage to him; besides he has
strong following in Middle Georgi
Ho wu raised io Jasper county aiid
will likely carry Jasper, Jones, Pike,
Putnam and Monroe counties. But
Blount would run well in that part of
the state, and it is hard to say which
would bo the stronger mao.”
“Is there a probability of Dr. Fel
ton’s entering the lists?”
“No; but Northen may, and if the
Farmers’ Alliance keeps at its present
stato of enthusiasm he will be a very
formidable candidate. But Livingston
may also come out, and if he and Nor
then are both in the field, both will be
defeated.”
“I knew that Livingston was
whale in Newton county, but I didn’t
think that his reputation was broad
enough to give him a chance at the
gubernatorial cake?”
“He has been president of several
farmers’ conventions and his connect
ion with agricultural interests makes
him a figure not at all to be laughed at.
v But 1 believe North Georgia will put
forth a representative.”
“Who will ho be?”
“Jim Brown, very likely?”
“Who is Jim Brown? Is he the
old gentleman, with an Ichabod Crane
appearance, who recently resigned the
jndgeship of tho Bluo Ridge circuit—
the brother of Joseph E?”
“Yes; his term had expired. Ilia
name is James It., but wc always call
him Jim Brown—and he is very popu
lar man in North Georgia.”
And as the judge pushed back his
chair, cxchlnged his coffee cup for a
toothpick, and started for tho office, he
continued:

■■fto a public library.
New Orleans is not the only South
ern city which haa veen made happy by
the gift of a library. The Memphis
Avalanche says under the terms of the
will of the late Mr. Cossitt that city is
soon to have a $75,000 library.
“The Mary Willis library, in Wash
ing, Ga., has just been completed ;.nd
opened to tho public. It is tho gift of
a former resident of Georgia, now a
citizen of Richmond, Va., and besides
an elegant structure, has a 6nug little
endowment.
Publio libraries are public blessings.
Augusta has one of the oldest and best
stored institutions of this sort in the
South. It is rich in rare volames, well
domiciled, and 6honld have the support
of every resident of Augusta. Tho
public appreciation of a library is a
godd evidence of the culture and intel
ligence of a city, and yet we do not
doubt that our own excellent library is
better patronized by visitors than by
residents.
“This, should not be so.”
The above, taken from the Augusta
Chronicle, is pertinent to the questions
involving the usefulness of the pub
lic library in Thomasville. It is not
patronized and sustained as it should
The library owns a valuable lot, a
handsome building, is out of
debt, has piles of interesting litera
ture, light and standard, and yet there
is a painful absence of that interest
which a refined, cultivated reading
people should take in such an institu
tion. Cannot something be done to
revive interest in the public library?

Food For Reflection.
There is food for reflection in a
couple of advertisements which ap
peared side by side in a conlempo-
raiy, which read, with the omission
of address, as follows:
WANTED—Young lady in pub
lishing house; quick writer; $4
week.
WANTED—An experienced girl
Tor general housework in a family of
seven; assisted about washing; wages
$4- '
.It will bo observed that the rate of
compensation is (he same in both
these cases, but that while the “lady
receives simply $4 per week the
“experienced girl;” gets, in addition
her board and lodging. Whether
gfcntility—the word most beautifully
expresses the thing!—is worth what
it costs must seem at least an open
question when theta^c is so high.
Too much talk—There isaltogeth
er too much talk about that mistake
of out popular young druggist of the
Blue Front which sent Col. Jim Jack-
son to his grave. Col. Jim asked for
quinine and got strychnine by mis
take, but there are a good many re
deeming features. The colonel was
old, lazy, and drunk half the lime,
and left one to mourn his loss.
The druggist it a young and energet
ic man, who sold out a coalyard in
Chicago to come here and go into the
drug business, and it must bs ex
pected that he will make m few mis-
lanes in the go oft. We call alien-

tising in the Kicker- He has assured
us that such a mistake cannot occur

We publish elsewhere, from that
conservative, able southern journal,
the Augusta Chronicle, a striking
article on the question of the status
being attained in the schools of the
state, by white and colored chil
dren, respectively. There is food
for thought in the article. Dr.
Clarke may be mistaken, but his
sources for obtaining information
on the subject is undoubtedly good
The Chronicle in speaking of the
article, says:
“The Chronicle prints this mom
ing the remarkable p!ca of Dr. J. O.
A. Clark for edneation in Georgia,
He has put the case very strongly.
Dr. Clark has very fine chances for
observation, and claims that his

people to educate their children, and

As far back as
1875 he published * paper on the
topic which attracted much at
tention at the-time| and he has since
devoted much labor to an investigation
of early historical documents in which
the. new world is named.
The popular notion that America
was so called from the Christian name
of Amerigo Vespucci is, he says, whol
ly unfounded, and he sums np his con
clusions in this way:
1. Ameriqne is the Indian came of
the mountains between Jnigalpa and
Libertad, in the province of Chontales,
which separate Lake Nicaragua from
the Mosquito coast. The word, in the
Maya language^ signifies “the windy
country,” or “the country where the
wind blows always.'
2. Tho ‘Christian name of Vespucci
was Alberioo in Italian and Spanish,
Albericns in Latin.
3. This particular{nime|is subject to
an enormous number of variations, as
the nomenclature and calendars of
Italian and Spanish saints of the peri
od show; but nowhere is there any such
variation as Americas, Amerrigo, Am
ergio, Almerigo, etc., and none of these
is either a diminutive or variation
use ia Italy, Spain or France for Al-
bercio or Albert.
4. Before 1507 when Jean Basin
of Sait Die published the name it is not
to be found in any printed document,
nor even in any manuscript of recog
nized and incontestible authority.
Mr. Marcon claims that bis theory of
a native origin for the name of America
has been accepted in Spain, Spanish
America, and, with some exceptions,
the United States, In France,
Germany and Italy, it bas excited
doubt aud surprised, but in the last
named place, he has the support of the
emin’ent Turin geographer, M. Guido
Coro.
There is no doubt that Columbus and
Vespucci went along the Mosquito
coast at the feet of the Sierra Amerri-
que, and that the name was reported by
tho officers and men of these expedi
tions; and Schoner, the geographer, de
clared in 1515 that the name was al
ready popular in Europe!
beyond question that one edi
tion of Vespucci’s letter on bis third
voyage bas the name Amerigo in the
place of the Christian name; 19 editions
had Albericns, and subsequent Italian
editions had Albenco. Tho one with
Amerigo on the titlo page was publish
ed in 1506, bat M. Marcon suggested
that this was nev>r intended to be a
variation of Amerique, a name already
known and applied to the New World,to
Vespucci's name to distinguish him, as
we say now “Chinese (Jordon,” to dis
tinguish the particular Gordon by sug
gesting one of his greatest feats. The
paper, which is very learned concerning
the geography and geographical publi
cations of the sixteenth century, is not
yet concluded.

An echo js simply a sound reflected
by an opposing surface, and repeated
thereby to the ear. Any substance
that intereferes with the passage of
the air-wave of sound, reflects or
throws it back in a'greater or less de
gree, and if this reflected sound
reaches the observer so long after the
original sound as to produce in itself
a seperate and distinct noise, it is
called an echo. It is produced by a
wall, a steep cliff, a hill side, or any
interfering object It the distance of
the wall be known, the time elapsing
between the sound and its echo
can be readily ascertained. If the
reflecting surface consists of two or
more wails placed at an angle, or
series of mountain ridges, the effect
produced is very curious. Instances
where the sound is repeated over and
over again, sometimes twenty times
or more, are not unknown. Much
more remarkable than these are har
monic echoes, or those that repeat
the sound in a different key. There
is said to be an echo in Fairfax coun
ty, Virginia, which returns the notes
of a flute with perfect distinctness,
some of them raised in pitch by a
third, a fifth, or an octave, the effects
varying with the state of the atmos
phere. The echoes of the shepard’s
horn in the Alps are described as
dying away in successive reflections,
each softer and more flute-like than
the one preceeding it. Dr. Brewer,
in his work on “Sound and its Phe
nomena,” gives the following instan
s: Near Coblentz an echo is found
that makes seventeen repetitions at
unequal intervals, some low, some
sott, some to the right, others to the
left of the observer; some in unison
with the direct sound, others a third,
fifth or tenth of the fundimental.
At the lake of Killarney is an echo
that renders an excellent second to
any simple air played on the bugle.
Some distance from Gliscow there
formerly a remarkable case in
which eight or ten notes of a bugle
were repeated a third lower, and
a second and third time, each lower
still. Th® study of the laws of ech
oes forms ail interesting branch of
accoustics.but it is too difficult for ex
planation in limited space. The an
cients personified it as a young
mountain nymph. She is said
have been desperately in
love with Narcissus, son of the river
god, and to have followed him
through the forests, and in the chase,
ever repeating his name. But he
scorned her devotion, and in her
despair she pined away until her
bones were changed into rocks and
nothing but her voice remained.
The first man to suffer under the
new law in New York, which substi
tutes electricity for hanging, will be
executed on the 12th of March.
The doomed man does not appre
ciate the distinction thus conferred
upon him and declares his preference
for the old fashioned hemp process.
The event, however, will be the sub
ject of much idle and scientific curi
osity. The doctors are not agreed
as to the advisability of electric
culions from a humane stand-point,
and the result of this first experiment
will be keenly watched by them.
The newspapers are exercised be
cause the law makes it a misdemea
nor for them to publish anything
about the exeention except the bare
fact that the.condemned man was ex
ecuted according to Jaw. Reporters
are to be strictly excluded and the
publication of any facts which they
may glean concerning the execution
will render them liable to punishment.
Nearly ’all the New York papers
have announced that they will pay no
attention to the law and intend to
publish all they can find out about
the executions. The event of the
12th of March will therefore involve
several important questions.—Tele

that this appearance will be renewed
later and in still more formidable
shape. It has been presented to
Mr. Harrison in his own house by a
delegation of clergymen Of high rank
in the African Methodist Episcopal
Church South. The question is, in
tact, very simple, though it may
involve consideration and conse
quences of an extremely, complicated
nature. It is: “How many offices is
Mr. Harrison going to give to
negroes?” It will be seen that this
is not at all the familiar old Southern
problem to which, alone, of all the
topics connected with the Govern
ment, Mr. Harrison has found lime,
since the election, to give any time.
It is not a question that can be
answered by a “bugle call” The
most taking of the stump orator’s
chip tricks of rhetoric will not aid in
the treatment of it in the least. It is
a plain business question, put by men
who, despite their clerical calling and
their professional devotion to other-
woridliness, have a very distinct
notion of their wants and their rights,
and an increasing estimate of their
value and influence in practical pol
itics.
Heretofore the negro has certainly
played an important part in Repub
lican politics, but it has been a very
passive one. He has been the
stalking horse of the party. His
rights, his wrongs, have given the
leaders a great deal of capital. He
himself has given them very little
trouble. He has furnishsd a certain
number ot votes in States where they
have been of little use. He has kept
up the organization of the party in
the South in a manner highly conven
ient to Mr. John Sherman when he
wanted delegates to the National
Conventions. He has attended these
conventions himselt—the negro, not
Mr. Sherman—from time to time,
and has done a fair business in the
line usually profitable at such places.
He has proved a pretty efficient colo
nist, and has borne the tiansfer from
Pennsylvania or Kentucky to Indiana
or Ohio without losing bis capacity to
vote the Republican ticket as often
as he was paid for it and the law
passed to protect his precious rights
in the South would permit. In his
Southern habitat he has been the
victim of many real and of some
fictitious outrages that have served
to fire the heart of the Northern
farmer, and stimulate him to bear
patiently the burden of Republican
taxation.
But now the negro appears to Mr.
Harrison in precisely the same atti
tude and with the same confidence
as John Wanamaker and Osgoodby.
He comes to claim office as the
reward for political services. He
wants indemnity for the past and
security for the future. He points
with pride to what he has done and
with an intimation of menace as to
what he may do. He calls attention

Shadraeh, arid Mr. Ellington, in the
most natural matter of fact voice he
could assume, go to the spring and
fetch me a pitcher of water from the
bottom.
Shadraeh expostulated, pleading the
order of the doctor and his mistreat.
Yon, Shadraeh, yon had better do
what I tell you, sir.
Shadraeh still held by his orders
Shadraeh, if yon don’t brine me the
water, when I get well I’ll give you
the worst whipping yon ever had in
your lift!
Shadraeh either thought that if his
master got well he would cherish n
rancor against a faithful servant, whose
constancy had saved him, or, more
likely, that the prospect of recovery
was too slight to justify aty serious
apprehension for his present disobedi
ence, at all events, he held firm.
Tho rick man was silent awhile, and
then said, in his most pereurive accer.ts.
Shadraeh, my boy, you're a good
nigger, Shadraeh. If you’ll go now and

ter, I’ll set yon free and give you

slowly aud heavily from his dry jaws,
as if to make the sum appear immeasu
rably vast.
But Sbadrach was proof against
even this temptation. How could he
stand it, and what good would his free
dom and $500 do him. if he should do
a thing that would kill his old master?
The sick man groaned and moaned.
At iast he besought him of one final
stratagem. He raised his haggard
faoe full upon Shadraeh, and, glaring
at him with his hollow, bloodihat eyes,
he said:
Shadraeh, lam going to die, and it's
because I can’t get any water. If you
don’t go and bring me 0 pitcher of
ter, after I’m dead I’ll como back and
haunt you! I’ll haunt yon as long
you live!
Oh Lorcfj! master! You shall hab

A .Kovel idea.
Mr. J. L. Babcock, of Ann Har
bor, Michigan, proposes to put into
practice a very novel idea. It is nothing
more nor less than the selection of
wife by competitive examination.
Mr. Babcock is evidently a young
mau who long has thought marriage j to tlje fact that negro votes elected
failur.-.
At
any
rate,
very great inducements were required
before ho would sonsent to become a
benedict. Four years ago his uncle
died and left him $500,000 on condi
tion that he married within five yearr.
It would seem that Mr. Babcock
would have married after a reasonable
time of mourning for his uncle, but he
did not. It was only alter four years
of deliberation thai he concluded to
renounce single life and a salary for
married life and a fortune.
The Dext step was to secure a sharer
of his fortune, and instead of proceed
ing in the u3ual manner, he adver
tised for a wife, stating the circumstan
ces under which he did to. He did not
have to wait loDg for answers. His
mail soon became so heavy as to re
quire about all his time in reading it,
and the conclasioa would have been
justified that ho had been elected to a
high office, and that he had the dis
posal of a large number of good ap
pointments.
At this point a grave difficulty con
fronted him. How could he select
from the long list of applicants a wife
to whom he might safely intrust hi*
happiness? No doubt, among the ap
plicants there were many young ladier.
who would fid the bill, but there was
the broad possibility of making an un
fortunate selection. He decided, there
fore, to leave the selection to a com
mittee, and to notify the applicants to
appear in Ann Arbor on a certain day,
to be examined as to general health,
intelligence, beauty, age and disposi
tion.
Col. Bill Nye has given Governor
Hill, of New York, the benefit of his
indorsement. In telling about a visit
he paid him the other day, he raj*:
“Governor Hifl u one of our most es
teemed coterie of bald-headed men. He
represents the better dement of democ
racy which, though bald, scorns to
comb its back hair np over the place.
He stands for candor and honesty at
the polk.” .

I George—That is a beautiful piece,
[Laura, and you plaeyd it most sool-
| fully. But what is that rumbling

■Laura—It mutst be . the wind,
■reuse me a moment (Goes into

take that wasbtub into the basement.
It doesn’t chord with the piano.
It would be a big day for Ann
Harbor it all the applicants should ap-
pt*r, and the railroad* donbtlas would
reap*a rich harvest. People from
miles around would flock to the city
to witness the exhibition of female
beauty. The line of applicants would
reach through several streets, and the
examining committee would require
several daya in which to complete their
task. Considerable difficulty would,
be experienced probably, in obtaining
the correct age of a few of the appli
cants, and after a choice had been
made, there would be some yftn
lion among the rejected applicants, for,
as a general thiag, women like
to be tridfhst theyareaotas beanti-
ful as otfcexicf their rax. The dissat
isfaction might manifest itself io such
form that the committee would hare
to leave town fer s-rv- ral days. Alto
gether, the occasion would be a very
interesting one.—
Mr. Harrison in New York and
Indiana, when they might just as well
have gone the other way. He has
heard about the delegation ot whites
from Birmingham, Ala., who wanted
to instruct Mr. Harrison how to build
up a Republican Party in the South,
and he does not think much of them,
since they aie “Confgflerates” and
want all the offices themselves,
has beard of Mr. Wise, of Virginia,
and Mr. Mahone, and he distrusts
both, though they are opposed to
each other.
In these circumstances Mr. Harri
son may well be puzzled and even
slightly resentful. The negro as a
“man and a brother” in safe obscur
ity is a convenient and useful piece
of political furniture. He can be
exploited to an unlimited extent, and
his sufferings can be paraded with
good effect by those who seek the
power to correct them in order to
that power for their own ends. But
the negro is his own person, seeking
office, asking pay for his services
with the aplomb of a Wanamaker
and the shrewdness of a Dudley, that
is quite another thine. He is, in the
chaste phrase ot Mr. Mahone, of
Virginia, “embarrassing.” IJut he is
very real. He Is the Southern ques
tion in propia persona. Mr. Harrison
has met him, and must make up his
mind about him. One can have a
certain pity for the President-elect in
his actual situation, bul political
observers cannot repress a grim satis
faction in the conviction that he has
brought it upon himself, and that
after all the negro has quite as well-
founded claims as the smug shop
keeper from Philadelphia.—New York
