B WALLACE Ex WAYNESBORO’, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1872. A Story for Youiitf Ltidics with Little Brother!!). The inoral of the following, told by the sufferer, is too npparntit to men tion. Young ladies willj hereafter run tlieir brothers out when gentlemen call. It’s certain that I wish somebody would spank the young rascal. Wc talked of mountains, hills, vales and cataracts—l believe I said water falls—when the boy spoke up and said .* “Why sister’s got a whole trunk fu'l of them up stairs ; papa says they are made of horse hair.” This revelation struck terror into uie and blushes into the cheek of my fair companion. It began to be very appa rent to me that I must be very guarded in what I said, lest the boy might slip it) his remarks jt uncalled for places; in fact, I turned my conversation to him, and told him he ought to go home with me and sec what nice chickens I have in the country. Unluckily I men tioned a yoke of calves, which ruined all. The little one looked up and said: “Sister’s got a dozen of them, but she don’t wear them only when she goes up town of windy days.” “Leave the room you unmannerly lit tle wretch !” exclaimed Emily. “Leave immediately.” *1 know what you want roc to leave the room for,” exclaimed he, “you can’t fool me, you want to sit on that man's lap and kiss him, just like you did Bill Simmons the other day; you can't fool me, I just tell you. Give me some can dy like he did, and I'll go. You think cause you’ve got the Grecian bend that you’re smart. Guess I know a thing or two. I'm mad at you, anyhow, be cause papa would have bought me a top yesterday, if it hadn’t been for getting them curls, dog on yer. You needn’t turn so red in the face cause I can see the paint. There ain’t no use a wink ing with that glass eye of yourn, for I ain’t agoing out of here, now that's what’s the matter with the purps. I don’t care if you are twenty eight years old. you ain’t no boss of mine.” Customs Decision. —ln answer to numerous tlio Treasury department lias decided that the law of June Gth, 1872, which provides for the reduction of ten per cent, of the existing duties on all metals and all manufactures of metal not therein other wise provided for, does not embrace such compounds or preparations as white lead or oxide of zinc, but only such articles as are manufactured direct from metal and retain the character of the original metal.— Washington Patriot. Net Weight of Hogs. —The Ken tucky rule is said to be, for tbe first 100 pounds, deduct 25 for gross; for the second 100 pounds, deduct 6 1-2; all over the third hundred is net. The net weight of a hog weighing 100 pounds gross is 75 pounds; a hog of 150 gross will net 118 3-4; of 250 gross, 206 1-3 net J and a hog, the gross weight of which is 300 pouuds, will net 256 1-4 pounds. From the gross weight of a hog that goes over 300, only 44 3-4 pounds is deducted, even should the weight be 400. Tho rule, if correctly stated, may be of use to somebody. The Georgctowu Times is responsible for the following: We learn from un questioned authority that Mr. John G. Fentcrs, of this county, nged 78, has recently taken to himself in marriage a young and blushing bride of not quite fourteen years, and that such has been the effect on his venerable head, that his hair which was silvery white is ra pidly assuming the black color of his youth. We have heard of hair grow ing white in a single night, but wo do not know that we have ever before heard of the cappilaceous ornament which adorns the head taking the back track, and turning from gray to black. Our informant assures us that the old gentle man has used no hair dye, and that the change is attributable entirely to the new state into which he has entered.” “SAILTJS POPULI SUPBE XsttA. LEX ESTO.” To Drive ICats nwny Without Pojttou. We know of three methods i First, the old French plan; this is followed chiefly in Paris by men who make it a special business. They take a deep tub with water at the bottom, and a little elevation in the middle like an island on which is only place for just one rat to sit on. The top is covered and has a large balance valve, opening downward ; on tho middle of this valve a piece of fried pork or cheese is fixed, and when a rat walks on it to get the cheese tho valve goes down, drops the rat in the water, and moves back in position. A road is made from a rat hole to the top of the tub by means of a piece of board rubbed with cheese, so as to make the walk attractive for tho rat. In the course of a single night some ten, twenty, or even more rats may go down, and if the island was not there they would be found almost oil alive in the morning quietly swimming round ; but the provision of the little island saves the trouble of killing them, because tlieir egotistic instinct of self preservation causes them to fight for Lire exclusive possession of the island, on which in the morning the strongest rat is fouud iu solitary possession; all the others being killed aud drowned around him. Stcoi.d, the New Y'ork plan invented by ono of our friends. The floor near the rut-hole is covered witli a thin layer of moist caustic potossa. When the rats walk on this it makes their feet sore ; these they lick with their tongues, wliich makes tlieir mouths sore; and the result is that they shun this locality, not alone, but appear to tell all the rats in tho neighborhood about it, and eventually the house is entirely aban doned by them notwithstanding tbe houses around may be teeming with rats. Third, the Dutch method ; this is said to be used successfully in Holland ; wc have, however, never tried it. A num ber of rats are left together to them selves iu a verf large trap or cage, with no food whatever; their craving hunger will cause them to fight, and the weak- 1 cst will be eaten by the strongest. Af ter a short time the fight is renewed, and the next weakest is the victim, and | so it goes on till one strong rat is left. When this one has eaten the last re mains of the others, it is then set loose; the animal has now acquired such a taste for rat flesh that he is the terror of ratdom, going round seeking what rat he may devour. In an incredibly short time the premises arc abandoned by all other rats, which will not come back before the cannibal rat has left or has died.— Manufacturer and Builder. ♦♦... To keep a boquet as good as new sprinkle it lightly with cold water, and put it in a vessel containing some soap suds. Take it out of the suds every morning, and lay it sideways in fresh water; keep it there a minute or two then take it out, and sprinkle lightly with pure water; replace the flowers in the soapsuds, nnd they will bloom up as freshly as when gathered. There is a rumor that the head of the Iloyal Family of Austria is to dispense hereafter with his semi-religious title of Apostolic Majesty. In view of the ex isting religious complications in Europe, growing out of the present situation of the Pqpe, this change, if carried out, will be full of a significance not favor able to tho temporal authority of tho Holy Father and successors in the Chair of St. Peter. m • The Atlanta correspondent of the Savannah News says ho did not inter view Judge Locbrano “for the simple reason that his position is too well known. lie is for Greeley as well as for Grant, although sometimes before break fast he is a stra’glit out—that is in the matter of cocktails.

The object contemplated by this measure, is the extension and inerense of the steamship facilities of the two companies, and the replacement of tlieir maturing bonds by new ones. —Savannah Nates. Served Him Rioiit.—lion. Thos, Hardeman, by invitation, addressed* a' large public meeting at Gniuesvillc Saturday last, and the following is re lated as &u incident of the occasion : Just as the speaker was ascending the rostrum, a note was handed him request ing free discussion, and stating tlint O’- Neal, of Lowndes—who now resides in Gainesville—would discuss political matters with him. Colonel 11. read the note to the audience, aud said that he was too old to be cuught in that trap; he had been invited by the citizens to address them, and had no right to iu flict upon them a speech from sueli a source; he knew that it was impossible for O’Neal to get a decent audience aoy other way, and this was an effort to push himself into white society. He must go among his own sort. This created tremendous applause, and O’- Neal quietly disappeared. A Radical Paktizan Bishop.— Wo think the Methodist Church North has made a mistake iu elevating to the Episcopate the Rev. Gilbert Haven, formerly editor of a'n unscrupulous partisan paper called Zion's Herald. It took that step, however, at its last Con ference, with full knowledge of the man it was honoring with this high office. Bishop Haven has since proved that he has little conception of the duties to which he Las beeu called. The name of Bishop but serves to make more conspicuous the bitterness of the fanatic. His last political prophecy is that, “If the Democrats and Liberal Republi cans succeed in electing their candidate, they will kill aud slay. The negro of the South will have to hide himself from his murderous foe, or crouch at his feet in revived servility and a more hideous slavery. Their white brothers will have to abandon their posts, or refrain from putting forth flieir just powers for their improvement.” Why the Metho dist Conference, knowing the views of the Itcv. Gilbert Haven, elected him Bishop, wo do not undertake to say. It certainly was not on account of either his Christiau character or his truthful ness.—Bahimo'6 Ornette. ♦ * —— Tint Chick aba wNA*ioN.--The Chiek asaw Nation has been holding its elec tion for Governor and other State offi cers. The result has not, so far, been claimed as a triumph for either Gen. Grant or Mr. Greeley. The Chicka saw?, indeed, acted with a refreshing disregard of our national politics. They ignored them. Whether or not Gen. Grant was in the habit of receiving gifts, varying in value from a sixty-five thousand dollar house to a pair of bull pups, was a matter of indifference to these benighted Chiekasaws. Mr. Gree ley might promise to pensiou all the Southern soldiers, and pay the Southern war debt twice over, without their rais ing a protesting voice. The contest was exclusively between the‘half-breeds’ and the “full-bloods.” Governor Harris represented the former and Captain Hotli-che the latter. Gov. Harris was elected by the close couut of one vote, One of the most prominent questions involved in the election was that of the alleged rob’cry by Washington claim agents of the appropriation made by Congress to the Cbicasaw Nation. The election of Gov. Harris is regarded as a triumph of Mr. Griffith, the present agent, and an indication that the Ciiiea saws arc perfectly satisfied with the manner in which their appropriation | has been obtained aud disbursed.

The German lOffiy undoubtedly cx ; pects another war with France, nnd I that all the sooner because of the won derful financial resources of their great rival. They do not seek it or wish for it, having gained all they wanted. They neither despise nor underrate the abili ties of the French soldiers, and they say that the next war will be a much hardef task tbau tho last. But they have the start in military knowledge, they have been trained to victory, offi cers and men, from highest to lowest, are in sympathy and mutual Confidence; they are losing no time in tlieir pfe* parations. Bavaria is a little behind in her organization, but will soon be ful ly ready as all the rest now arc. Who can wonder that they say, “Wc can never be sore, bnt we believe in future victories astonishing as those of the last war t fi ' — ♦ A Cowardly Crc\y.—The defat! of . s sA the terrible disaster to the steadier Metis, which hare been published, estab lish the fact that the collision was the result of gross carelessness; that after the disaster the officers and crew of the vessel behaved like cowards, and that there were not the proper life-saving apparatus on board necessary to the safety of (he passengers in case of emer gency. There were scarcely life-prscrv ers enough to go round. What few boats there were the officers and crew stole away iu before the passengers were made aware of the danger. It looks as though the crew had met and discussed the situation. All tho deck hands, the waiting maids, cooks, officers of the vessel and the pilot, quietly as sembled on deck. The boats were lowered with all the precious crew, and tbeu some bold man ran through the tiliip exclaiming: “The boat is stuking; passengers must save themselves as best they can I” Ilcuce, hardy sailors, used to all winds and weather, expert swim mers, stole silently away from the siuk ing ship, in the life-foat, and left poor weak women and helpless Children to save themselves as best they could.— New York Star. ■ — : Down The llill.—The evening of every man's life is coming on apace. The day of life will soon be spent. The sun, though it maybe up in mid-heaven, will pass swiftly down the Western sky, and disappear. What shall light up man's path when the sun of life is gone down ? He must travel on to the next world, but what shall illuminate his footsteps after the nightfall of death, amid the darkucss of his jouruey ? What question more important, more partial, more solemn, for caoh reader of our journal to ask himself? That is a long journey to travel without a friend. Yet every man must perform it. The time is not far distant when all mop •rill begiu the journey. Thero is au evening star in the natursd world. Its radiance is bright and beautiful, and cheering to the benighted traveler. But life’s evening star is a good hope of Heaven. Its beauty and brilliancy are reflected from the Sun of Righteousuoss, whoso bright rays light up the eveuing of life, and throw their radiance quite across the darkness of the grave into Immanuel’s land. It has illuminated the footsteps of many a traveler into Eternity. It is of priceless value. A thousand worlds cannot purchase it; yet it is offered without money and without price to him who will penitently and thankfully receive it. !
