Augusta, Ga., January 4th, 1873. )
WE are aware that a second postpone
ment of'the distribution of the shares
of the Confederate Monumental Association
of Georgia, will dissatisfy some of the ticket
holders. Providence lias inflicted upon al
most every section of our country, for the
last month, the severest weather that has
been known for many years. The highways
of travel in many sections have been stop
l>ed. Communications between neighbor
hoods have been interrup'ed. People have
been compelled to keep close at their homes.
One Agent writes: “The postponemen
is so short that owing to the bad weather it
will be impossible foi me to a : d you as 1
expected." A State Agent info runs us that
“the contribution fioru his State will be
cut down to a small amount by the inclem
ent weather, and the shortness of time.”
One Agent stated to us in person that there
was many who wished to subscribe—that
he had not been able to see in consequence
of the extreme liitternss of the weather.
Another Agent declined to act longer, as
the time was too short to obtain tt e desired
results iu his State. We might quote ftom
other letters to show that complaint lias
been made; that we sought expedite the
drawing by inadequate time. We frankly
confess that we desired to close the effort
we have benn making. The object, sought
is a grateful one. We have beep influenced
to hold or, by our desire to honor the mem
ory of personal relatives and friends, as well
aa their lost and devoted eotnrades. We
use the occasion to add that we have in no
small degree been influenced to continue
our efforts to protect the credit of our Slate
ami section. We look to a quenchless vestal
Are, without which, their can be no sou!, no
true greatness, no noble sentiment in com
munities or nations.
We tre Agents to guard this great and
most sacred enterprise. We ask the ticket
holders to give us their confidence. w 'e
ask them to rely upon our judgments for
another brief period. We know better than
they do tlie necessity for a little more time.
If any one shall say this additional postpone
ment violates our pledge, all that we have
to say is, the South is not yet so represented
as to appear creditably before the country
and the world. When we honestly tell you
tliat, will you not rather thank than con
demn us for the delay. In addition to the
difficulties already referred to, we may
properly add that for weeks past the ex
citement of canvassing for county offices,
some of which are lucrative, have directed
attention from this effort to do garateful
and patriotic work. These elections are
over. These excitements are rapidly pass
ing away. Our people can now have time
for reflection. They will now move freely ;
come to tlie tombs < f their martyrs, stretch
ed on their shields in wakeless sleep, and
make their offerings for perpetual remem
brance.
We trust no one will bo dissatisfied, but
| that all will unite with us in saying that tlie
sepulchral honors of tlie dead should not be
marred by impatience or selfish considera
! timis. Whether we look to the battle-field
or the new made grave, our heroes are
wreathed with the honors of dying patriots.
We now publicly pledge and solemnly aver
that the distribution shall take place on the
THIRD DAY OF APRIL, 1873, D V.
On that day tiie curtain will fall unon
this most holy enterprise, and we trust the
people will enable us to present an exhibit
that will be more satisfactory than we unuld
make on the 18th insl.

Granite Work's of the Ancient*.
The art of carving in granite has
j never been carried to higher perfection
! than on the continent, of India. At
Ohilantbarapi, also in the Carnatic, and
on the Coromandel coast, is a congeries
;of temples representing the sacred
; Mount of Meru. Here are seven lofty
walls, one within the other, round the
| central quadrangle, and a many pyra
midal gateways in the midst of each
side, which forms the limbs of a vast
cross, consisting altogether of twenty
eight pyramids. They are consequent
ly fourteen in a line, which extend*
more than a mile in oue continuous di
rection. Nor are these the only wonders
associated with this metropolis of pyra
mids. The interior ornaments arc in
harmony with the whole. From the
ways of one of the principal structures
they bang, on the tops of four buttress
es, festoons of chains, in length about
five hundred and forty-eight feet. Each
garland consisting of twenty links, is
made of one piece of granite, sixty feet
long. The links themselves are mon
strous rings, thirty-two inches in circum
ference, and polished as smooth as glass.
Compared with the monolith temples
of granite at Mahabalipuram, which is
likewise situated on the Coromandel
coast, those in Egypt sink into insigni
ficance. The rocks thereabout are com
posed of a hard gray granite, containing
quartz, rn'ca and feldspar, with a few
crysta'. ol hornblende interspersed.—
Many have been hollowed out by art,
and sculptured into temples with spirit
ed bas-reliefs, representing episodes in,
Hindoo history and mythology, and
supported by graceful columns, all carv
ed from the solid rock. Detached
masses have been cut into shapes of
elephants, tigers, lion?, bulls, eats,
monkeys, and various nondescript mon
sters and colossal statues of gods, one
of which—namely, that of Ganesa—
is thirty feet high. The southernmost
of the tempi s is „ ut forty feet in
height twenty-seven feet in breadth, and
nearly the same in length, the exterior
being covered with el it borate sculptures.
The adjoining edifice is about forty -nine
feet iu length, and in breadth twenty
five feet; it is rent, by natural causes,
from summit to base. According to
the local Bruhmitiical tradition these
wonderful sculptures were executed by
four thousand workmen, who had come
from the North, and returned before
their completion. From a careful ex
amination it is evident that almost all
the enormous mass of sculpture and
carving that adorns this city of monolith
temples and colossi must have been per
formed without the aid of fire—with
the hammer, chisel, lever, and wedge
alone; and this is one of the hardest
rocks in the world.— Peoph'n Mayaxine.
A pious invalid went to church last
Sabbath for the first time for several
months, “Did you not enjoy the sermon?”
said her husband, thankful to see her
in his pew again. “Enjoy it, I guess I
did, immensely, till I looked at the lady
in the front seat, and all at once I was
unhappy, for, would you believe it, my
back hair wasn’t up high enough.”

An enterprising gambling house in
Denver recently hired a rather fresh
young man from the States to do a
little “capping.” He soon spotted a
hurley man of rustic dress and manners,
who looked for all the world like an
homst ranchman from down the Platte,
and just dismounted from a wagon
load of potatoes round the corner. The
capper drew him into conversation, and
the rustic “dropped” on the game at
once, was plied with numerous social
glasses, and rather gradually and ex
pensively inveigled into the lair ot the
tiger. When the ingcuious youth called
the attmtion of old king Pnaraoh him
self to the prize he had in tow, that,
potentate rudely asked him, “What the
h did you pilot the chief of police
iu here for?”

•Vantb a Popular Verdict. —The
Atlanta Herald of a late date lias this to
soy by way of copclusiou to the boud
compromise: We ore quite willing logo
before the .people on this question, and
are ready to second the proposition made
hy one of our weekly cotemporarics,
that the members of the Legislature
resign and anew election be held to
settle the question of the bond proposi
tion. We hazard the prediction that
uot twenty members would be return
ed favorable to the so-called compro
mise. And while we cheerfully admit
that vox populi is not always vox det, the
verdict in this instance would be a just
and proper one, alike honorable to the
people aud to the State.

Mystjcrjocs Influences.— Persons
sometimes feel remarkably well—the
apperito is vigorous, eating is a joy.
digestion vigorous, sleep soujd, with
an alucrity of bo !y aud an exhileration
of spirits which altogether throw a
charm over life that makes us pleased
with every body and every thing. Next
week, to morrow, in an hour, a marvel
ous change comes over the spirit of the
dream : the sunshine has gone, clouds
portend, darkness covers the face of the
great deep, aud the whole man, body
and soul, wilts away like a flower with
out water in mid-summer.
When tho*weatber is cool and clear
aud bracing, the atmosphere is full of
electricity; when ii is Bultry and moist
and without suushiue, it holds but a
small amount of electricity comparative
ly * speaking, and we have to give up
what little we have, moisture being a
good conductor; thus, in giving up,
iustead of receiving more, as we would"
from the cool, pure air, the change is
too great, and the fholfl mau languishes.
Many become uneasy under these cir
cumstafitces; ‘they can’t account for it’>
they imagine that evil is impending, aud
resort at once to tonics and stimulants.
The tonics only increase the appetite,
without imparting any additional food,
thus giving the system more work to do
instead of less. Stimulants seem to
give more strength ; they wake up the
circulation, but it is only temporary,
and unless anew supply is soon taken,
the system runs further d‘>wu than it
would have done without the stimulant;
hence it is in a worse condition than if
none had been taken. The better
course would be to rest, take nothing
but cooling fruits*and beiriea and mel
lons, and some acid drink when thirsty,
adding, if desired, some oold bread and
butter; the very next morning will
briug a welcome chango.
An extraordinary grave digging
story comes from Hartford, Connecticut
A grave digger there named Jacob, who
was preparing a grave for a small pox
patient fearing the disease, ran away as
so< n as the hearse came into the ceme
tery with the body. The bearers
thought they should hear no more of
Jacob, and hired another man to fill
up the grave. The man hired having
a wholesome fear of the disease, fortified
himself with a plentiful imbibition of
whiskey, and when the grave was half
filled lay down in it to rest. Jacob
had, 'meantime, got the better of his
fears, and returned to finish the job.
lie did not look in the grave, but b
gan throwing in the dirt, when a vigor
ous kicking in the grave, startled him.
This was too much for Jacob, aud,
thinking that the small pox corpse was
coming out of the grave again, he ran
for life. A policeman, who heard the
story, went and released grave digger
No. 2, who was kicking away in the
grave, trying to overoome the double
load of sand and whiskey, and this grave

A New England paper relates the
following: “A couple of girls put a
bull frog in a hired man’s bed to see if
they could not get him to talk. Daniel
threw the frog out of the window and
never said a word. Soon after he put
a half bushel of chestnut burrs iD the
.
girls’ bed, and about the time he thought
they would make the shadow,
Daniel weut to the door and rattled it
furiously. Out went the candle and in
went the girls ; but they didn’t stick,
though the burrs did. Calling to them
he begged them to be quiet, for he only
wanted to know if they had seen any
thing of that pesky bull frog. He’d
gin tew dollars tew find it.”
A festive bridgroom io au adjoining
county was overtaken a few days since
by his late dulcina, whom he had de
ceived, and was made a “bridal” pre
sent of a sound flogging for his incon

those contented minds, however, which
has drank at the fount of wisdom suf
ficiently often to learn that every ill has
its good, every wrong its benefit, and he
eliminates a startling amount of satis
faction from the misfortune in the re
flection that if this much has been re

They tell a good story in Lawrence
of a professional gentleman and wife,
who bear the very highest reputation
for severe propriety.* Last Saturday
night the geutlemau told his wife he
was going cut on business and might
not be back till late. “You are not
going to the ‘Black Orook,’ are you?”
she asked. “‘Black Crook J’ what do
you take me for ?” he iudignantly ex
claimed. “Oh, well,” said she, “I was
only jokeiug. I'm going out to do
some shopping. Don’t be alarmed if
I am not home when you return.” The
next that worthy couple saw of each
other was at the aferesid “Black Crook,”
where some destiny seated them side
by side, to their astonishment.

There are now six Republics in Eu-
Switzerland, France,
Spain, and the little Alpine Republ o
of San Marino, the oldest and smallest

years, al . o, Andorra, a small Republic
in the fastnesses of the Pyrenees, be

A California widow lately went for
a youth who had wooed and won her,
but was disposed to coquette, with a
pistol and a marriage license. She took
a clergyman with her who was ready to
preach a fuueral sermon or perform a
marriage ceremony at the same price.
The young man chose the latter.
