the slander employed to crush him, but
ever and mimhi lets fall a dart from his

to a letter from Judge I.yons, of Ilich

him :
Tiie Southern people have forgotten
much, have forgiven much, of wrongs
they lsire. If it he less so among their
invaders, it is but another example of the
rule that a wrong doer is less able to for

wrong. It is not, however, generally
among those who braved the hazards of

Gen. Babcock, President Grant’s Mili
tary Keeretnry, is now on trial before a
a jury iu fit. Louis, charged with compli
city in the "Whiskey ring” fraud, by
which the Government has been robbed
of many thousands of dollars. This l ing l
was started, says a corrosjwudent of the
New York World, in 1872, ostensibly for
campaign purposes in the interest of
Grant. Its leading spirits were McDon
ald, riupervisior ; Joyce, Koveutte Agent ;
Levis and Fraser. Distillers; und C. G.
Megrim, Cashier and Paymaster, Instead
of using titlin' funds to promote the cause
of the llepuhliotiu party, the money was
divided among them. This arrangement
continued till after the Presidential elec
tion, the Government being defrauded of
from £5,000 to £15,000 per week by the
officials, After the election was over
McDonald amt Joyce wanted to “freeze
out” certain members of the conspiracy,
noootn{dialled their object by having all
crooked operations stopped for a while.
Am soon as the persons were
got rid of, including Megrue, operations
were resumed more boldly and upon a
larger acuta than at. lirst. All the distil
era, wish unimportant exceptions, the
, ipei visior, tin n vr me agents, gaugers
md atorekeepers, were in the ring.
Tlm “ring” speculation with Govern
ment funds proved such a tempting bait

The following extracts are from a let
ter of a Texas correspondent of the At
lanta Count nation:
“1 am now at the village of Cleburne,
and iu a few days w ill start, for Georgia.
1 lind the people greatly dissatisfied,
many desire to return to their old homes,
few me contented, while others cry west
ward. I can say lor middle. Texas she
has rich hinds, producing when it is
seas, liable great ipmutities of gruiu and .
cotton. For half a decade of years far- i
mers have made two lull crops, the other i
three uardly the seed planted. Northern :
and north western Texas is not a farming
country, yet it has some very ri di fertile ,
valley lauds. It is entirely too dry to
produce corn aud cotton, rather cold for ;
small grain.
Many live by raising hogs and cuttle,
a profitable oeoupu.km when it» rains,
though they otten perish for want ol
water, FcLlers have tried in vain to
procure water by digging wells. I found
a few in the bottoms of lakes and creeks;
they obtain water from these pits or
wells by means of ladders. In summer,
as well-os w hiter, iu middle Texas, they
beg, brty aud sell water.
The whole country for stock-water is
dependant upon the large lakes and riv
ers. A section of twenty live miles is
supplied by the bayous. In middle
Texas wood ia very scarce—a little on
the creeks aud rivers, though insufficient
to supply the demaud.
Society is rough, the country is filled
with young men from home, desperate,
reckless, they respect no on*, while too,
fexas is the resort of the depredators of
the Wr'oi'.d. I advise all honest, euorgetio
farmers, merchants, lawyers, and every
i body i Im', to stay in Georgia. Married
; men protect your families, never expose
| them to the bleak winters, raiu, wind and
: mud, Rchorcbing auuimers, and to the
. evils of society os are in Texas. Young
j men vtm loose time and mouey, and if
: you are not careful your life will lte lost

la’t ymir boys learn a trade. No mat
ter what your citeauistancfiM are ;no ;
matter what the prosfw eta iu store for
them, give th m a trade. It will make
them independent of the world, and
prove a fortune itself. A good writer,
who himself had a trade and ought to
know, says, “there is health and vigor
for both body and mind iu an honest
trade, and it will be as a rock upon which
the possessor can firmly stand.” Give
your boy a good education if you are i
able; but don't think it can, or should
take the place of a trade. It is not every
oue that knows how to apply au educa
tion, and frequently we see the yotmg
man who lots studied bard nod spent
what little he had in gaining au educa
tion, become a drone iu society, or wind
is worse sink into dissipation, because he
knows not what te do with biue etf nor
his education. A man without an educa
tion, that is a college one can, with a
trade, make a respectable living, but an
education aud nothing else, no inclina
tion for any kind of work is a poor de
{Ktnlence. Lay the foundation iu a
1 good trade und then with an education
; one can successfully take hold of what
ever profi a; msu lie may desire. For a
j mechanic, a good artizan, a printer, a
farmer, for fanning is a trade, there is
always au opening, and with one of these
at his command a yotmg man need never
; despair of making a living and a good
! one at that. If you have to make choice
which one you shall take a trade or au
! education by all means accept the trade,
and then when, you have that in your
1 possession you cau get the other by extra
study ; yon can make up at night atul
' during odd hours ; some of our smartest
men have been self-made, have studied
while other* slept. 'You can have Isitli,
! but be sure to get the trade fint, for
there are some things to be well master
led must be undertaken in youth, while
! the muscles arc strong, the memory fresh
and the mind with all its faculties in e

! in youth, but the education is something
| never finished -it can progress until the
I end of one’a life. Home, if not all have
; heard of Hteplu n Girard's clerk, the
young mult who served him faithfully up
to the age of twenty-one, and then ex
neeting promotion, on his birthday pre
sented himself to the merchant. “You
have done well,” said Girard “Now
go learn it trade." “A trade, sir,” said
the young man, astonished. “Yea ; a
trade: go learn the cooper's trail.) and
when yon have made a good barrel, bring
it lo me.” Nothing daunted the young
man went away, aud in the course oi
time soon mastered the trade. One day
lie brought to the merchant's door on a
wheel harrow a perfect barrel of his own
make. Girard evunined the work and
that pro.ented the young lmut with a
check of two thousand didhir-, wffing iff i

I (limithtg-room ; but if in the future 1
! should fail yon will not be dependent
i upon hie: you have a trade, and yon euii
j hold it in reserve.” Give your boys a
trade; there's wisdom in it, there's i
health, there’ll independence arid there |
is happiness also, for life lias no sound,
hearty pleasure outside of it wholesome,
useful occupation. Home boys show at
a very early age their taste or inclination

hoe, and perhaps care less about a book.
! Here pnreul* mnst be their own guides, j
and where nature lma done but little !
they must must do more. Decide upon
something for the child, pat him at it,
and keep him there. His future good
demands that lie be put in the way of
doing- something for himself, and it is
woful neglect to a boy to allow him to ;
run loose, jumping from one thing to
another not knowing what to put his
mind npon, until manhood eventually
comes mid finds him unprepared fur life,
with no islueatiou, no trade, and a victim
perhaps to every bad habit. Fathers it te
deeply resjmnsible for such results and
the best way to avoid them is to take the
boys out of the streets and put them to -
a trade.

buying for cash :
At no time simv t^ 1 c’osc of ibe wm

selling under the cost of |Uoduefion,
hibor imeertniu and non productive, im

long stood the shocks of crises and nd

The pants of '73 has not yet filled its
mission and not all the centennial shows
of a thousand Philadelphia-, can relieve

what we want bat it is the contraction of
the cost ot living : the lessening of the
demnition total, us Mr. Mantulina hat. it,
of our aim ini expeuses.
• The people are prone to buy anything
they see, from a hand-saw to n duck
legged horse, tmd to pay any price for it,
provided they can get time. Now there
must come a day of settlement and 'tis
an old niuxiui of trade, “the greater the
risk the greater the profit.” Therefore
put a stop to this universal time buying,
which in the end “biteth like a serpent
anil stingo'll like an adder” what you
can't pay for do without, mid what you
can do without don't boy.

This will certify that two members of my
immediate family, after having suffered for
many years from menstrual irregnbtrity.
and having been treated without benefit bv
various medical doctors, sere at length
completely cured by one bottle of Dr J

therefore deem it my duty to furnish this
certificate, with the hope of drawing atten

of a medicine whose power in curing irreg

proven under my own personal observa
