LECTION OF OFFICERS FOR TIIE PRESENT YEAR.
i is well known the members of the above organi
zation is composed chiefly snd perhaps entirely of
Israelite friends in the city who, seven years ago,
affected its organization. Since its inauguration it
has been conducted in such an admirable manner as
to win for its members the respect and confidence of
the people. Giving at interval# a variety of entertain
ments of their own, they have also been exceedingly
liberal in granting the use of their hall to others for
the purpose of giving exercises. "We learn that
there are now more th«n fiity bonafide members
of the organization, and that the condition
of the association, financially and otherwise, is splen

i ndiomc Testimonial.
Jefferson Davis.
During the recent incarceration of policemen T. G.
Jones and John O’Shields, on the charge of murder,
they were very kindly and humanely treated by Mrs.
Wise, the excellent lady of onr efficient jailor, Capt.
John 8. Wise.
Actuated by a dflfelre to show their appreciation of
this kindness and sympathy for their unfortunate
comrades, the police force contributed sufficient
money to purchase an elegant silver ice pitcher and
castor, combining call-bell and fruit-stand with the
castor.
These were yesterday presented to Mrs. Wise by
John W. Butler, Eeq., on behalf of the police force.
It was a fitting testimonial of the respect of the
gallant Atlanta police for a most estimable lady.

Young Men’s Christian Association.
This organization, composed of yosug men of ths
city, held a very pleasant as well as interesting meet
ing at Trinity Church last evening, whleh was very
well attended. A letter which had been received from
Secretary of a similar association in
Augusta, containing valuable suggestions, was
on motion, referred to the secretary to answer, he
being Instructed to return the thanks of the Associa
tion for their expressions of regard for, and yaluabls
suggestions to, the Association here.
Several committees were announced by the chair,
including one composed of a member from each church
represented in the association, to disseminate in their
respective churches and communities the objects of
the organization. Quite a number of applications for
bership were referred to ths appropriate com
mit Kee.
When on motion, the association adjourned to meet
•gain on Thursday evening next, at the Christian
Church, on Hunter street.
Fi©m the New York Mercury.
The following “intercepted letter,
the Homo Journal, tells funnily how a young
miaa feels when surreptitiously engaged:
Dear Allie: I have got a real, live, grown
up beau; and isn’t it jolly. He’s perfectly
splendid; jnst like those lovely wax figures iu
the windows, only they can’t use their lips.
Ilt’s myjFrench teacher, and he always smells so
sweet of pond lilies! I don’t have anything to
do with the boys now; those little boys of sev
enteen and eighteen do very well when there
are no men around, if they can get money
enough from their pas to buy us Gunther’s
candles, but they can’t amnse us girls of four
teen, they seem just like babies, and when
they try to make love—O, my! arn’t they
mushy ? Now, Monsieur Fontaine acts as if
he bad been engaged twenty times, although
I’m his first love; but we don’t lec on before
ma, and Those. It makes Arethusa awfnl
mad to have me call her Tbuse, and that’s the
reason I do it. I heard her ask ma the other
day if that Frenchman’s manners were not too
familiar toward that child. Child ! She’s
awtully afraid of mj being a young lady!
What need she care, now she’s married ?
Wasn’t she spooney, though, about Fred \
When he used to come and see her, I
would drag Tommy into the room and
put my arm around his waist and squeeze
his hand until her face would be as
red as a beet. Such fun! I caught her
kissing him once—such a little nipping kiss,
jnst as if she were tasting pepper sauce. Now,
if 1 pretended to kiss a man, I’d do it in right
good earnest; just plant my feet square on the
ground, and give it to him sure pop right on
the lips. Oh, Allie, poor Those would go off
in a dead faint at my low bred expressions,
and inform me, for the nine hundred and
ninth time, that my name is Ellsworth. Ju-st
as if I didn’t know my own name, and what
does it matter, anyway, when I expect to
change it so soon? I do not intend
to hang on to it until I am a horrid old
maid, like poor Miss Tracy opposite. She
might be a warning to the strongest-minded.
She’s nervous, and how I do love to scare her.
I promised Tommy the other day five cents
worth of pea-nuts to let me hold him out of
onr third story'window. He’d let me skin
him for a paper of pea-nuts. So I got him
out, and knelt down under the window ledge,
where I couldn’t be seen, and held tight hold
of his wrists. Tbuse thinks my strength is
dismasting. Pretty soon there w as an elderly
shriek, and then an elderly form rnshed
across the street to mother, bat by the time
they got up stairs I was seated quietly at my
crotchet-work, and Tommy was turning sum
mersaults on the bed, over the lovely fluted
pillow-cases. And ma still thinks it is poor
Miss Tracy that is “a little wild at times.”
1 love my brother Fred ever so mocli, but
I don’t see how he ever came to fancy such a
die-away specimen as our Thus?. Because
she is so awfully pretty, I suppose; but she
just turns him around her thumb. If he re
fuses to get what she wants, she jnst looks
like a martyr in the flames, and lets down all
her back hair like the Magdalens in tho pic
ture gallery. And although they are real
pretty hanging on the walls, even an artist
does not want to sit at the table three times a
day opposite a live one, with her eyes rolled
up and her hair down her back. So poor
Fred always gives in, and she smiles a forgiv
ing smile, puts up her hair, and goes off to
buy the fine set cf jewelry that has taken
her fancy. And when she gets it she
keeps tight hold of it, too. She has never
given me even a cuff button. Tbuse always
was stingy. And she is so stuck-up, because
she has got a son, jast as if it were some
thing wonderful. Why, Mrs. Tubbs, our
laundress, has eight of them, besides one
that was drowned and one scalded, and she
isn’t a bit set-up. But Arc’bnsa says “my
boy !” and does the maternal all to pieces.
She thinks Alexis is made out ot nicer mate
rials than most babies, and I know she doesn’t
believe the catechism where it says he was
made out of the vulgar dust of the earth. I
suppose she thinks rose leaves and corn starch
were used to make up his delicate organiza
tion. It wonld relieve my feelings to 6ee a
speck of dirt on that child’s face; it makes
me ache to see him so painfully clean. And
she thinks he is going to be a little Solomon,
or some humbug or other.
Now, AV.ie, I have got a secret that you
rnusn t tell a living soul. If you do, I will
never forgive yon. I have promised Mon
sieur Fontaine to be married in three weeks,
on my fonrtcentn birth-day, and if mother
seems likely to object, we are going to elope,
just like the girls in the novels. Won’t it be
splendid ! Just think what a sensation it
will make ! The Chicago papers will be full
of it! “Elopement in high life. The lovely
daughter of the rich and elegant Mrs. E h
eloped with her teacher.” Boor Thuse would
do high tragedy, wring her hands and talk of
the disgrace to their noble bou3eof Ellsworth.
I should think her delicate shoulders would
ache from carrying our noble house so long.
Now, don’t you breathe a word about it, and
I will stand by you if you run away with a
shoe-black.
Married at fourteen ! Just think ! I shall
beat Thuse out and out. Then, too, some
thing might happen to Monsieur Fontaine.
Of course I wouldn’t have anything happen
to him for the world; but then something
might, you know—the railroads are always
smashing up; and if there should, why then
I would be a young and interesting widow;
and black ©Tape with my fair complexion
would be so sweet, and O, Allie, do you think
that I am too young to wear a widow’s'eap ?
What a blow that cap would be to Arethusa?
►She had rather receive a whole paper of
needles in her side—that is, goldheaded ones,
not your 4 common steel things. Now, Allie
Wyndham, if you tell you’ll be just as mean
as you can be.

HIS ARRIVAL AT THE NEW TORE HOTEL—HOW nE
SNUBBED AN INTERVIEWEE.
On Thursday Jefferson Davis, tho former
President of the Confederacy and the elephant
of the administration when he was a prisoner
in Fortress Munroe, entered the office of tho
New York Hotel and inscribed his name on
the register, and in a few minutes there
after a Herald reporter, who had heard of
Mr. Davis’s presence in town, called at tho
hotel and sent up his card, intending, if the
Confederate chieftain pleased to converse, to
gather hiB opinions. The interviewer says:
“Word was brought back that Mr. Davis
was at dinner and that the card had been left
in his room. After a short time Mr. Davis
came from the dining-room and approached
the office counter. He wore his hat and car
ried an nniighted cigar in his month. While
one of the proprietors of the hotel conversed
with him the reporter scanned the features of
the Mississippi fire-eater, venerable to most
loyalists only from his age. His face did not
seem long, as most portraits make it. but very
sharp and angular.
He wears a slight beard, of uncertain color,
part white and part of a sandy hue, which,
with the high fiilk hat, may have taken from
the length of his countenance. His eyes
were perplexing to the reporter. He could
not discern their color, and while they are
not what are termed “cross eyes,” they gave
tho reporter the problem of determining
during the subsequent short conversation
whether Mr. Davis, who kept his face set
toward him all the time, was looking at him,
or turning his orbs inward to attempt a phys
ical process of introspection. These were the
characteristics of Mr. Davis as noted last even
ing. Looking at him generally, he appeared
in good health, perfectly at peace with him
self and the world. The reporter, waiting lor
the hotel proprietor to finish his conversation
with Mr. Davis, stood at tho desk near this
gentleman, and, as their voices were not low,
heard the subject of talk. It was tbe cholera
in the South. Mr. Davis declared that the
disease that has has appeared is certainly the
Asiatic cholera. He thinks, however, that it
is only endemic, and proper care will prevent
it Though all classes of people have been
attacked, he said only the poor and the ne
groes have died. The poor whites oftener re
covered from the disease than the negroes,
for the reason that the negroes are selfish and
will not employ physicians until too late, lor
fear of the charges.
Mr. Davis having ended these remarks, the
reporter introduced himself to his notice. He
was received kindly, and addressed in a calm,
soft voice, and with a slow speech. The re
porter announced his desire to hear an ex
pression of the views of Mr. Davis on the af
fairs of the country.

Ben Butler and the Temperance People.
Gineral Bn tier’s nomination for tbe Govern
orship of Massachusetts was before the State
Temperance Alliance last Tuesday. The Al
liance, however, couldn’t make up ils mind
whether the General was to be trusted to en
force the liquor law or not, and took a fort
night to consider the matter. One anient
gentleman supported Gen. Butler’s nomina
tion in rather a questionable way, by say
ing that he “would rather have a devil in
hell who would enforce the liqnor law, than
an angel of light who would do no more than
Governor Washburn has.” We wonld sup
pose the General wonld get tired of being
considered no more than a convenient fiend
incarnate. But somehow this is the reputa
tion which he has acquired, and to these uses
very virtuous folks seem willing to put him.
They forget that the fiend incarnate may in
the end, props a very troublesome and unsat
isfactory monster. If he should be elected to
enforce tlie law and then shouldn’t enforce
it, the kettle of fish would be altogether too
pretty for haman nature’s daily food. Pious
folks who use fiends incarnate to further pious
ends, may find that they have engaged io a
somewhat impious business. —Nero York

The Atlanta Herald.
Announcement for 1873.
Established only in August o last year,
he Atlanta Herald has, in five short months,
risen to the front rank of Georgia journalism,
and has obtained a circulation which has not
any precedent in the history of Southern
newspapers.
When first issued, the proprietors declared
their purpose to make the Herald a bold,
outspoken paper, independent of all political
parties, cliques and rings and devoted solely
to the interests of the masses, without regard
to class or station. The condition of politi
cal parties in the South was such, that un
der no circumstances could the Herald give
its support to Radicalism; hence, it has in
variably advocated tbe election ot Democrats
to office, such advocacy being based upon the
capacity of candidates. The Herald, there
fore, has assamed the position of an inde
pendent Democratic newspaper, and will con
tinue to hold it, so long as the Democracy
remain tbe political party which serves the
people with more honesty and ability than
any other party in the Stale. Nevertheless,
tlie Herald will continue, in the future, as in
the past, to criticise men and measures,
without regard to political prejudices and
affiliations, condemning everything its pro
prietors believe injurious to the interests of
Georgia, and praising and supporting all
that they believe likely to promote the pros
perity of the State and the happiness of her
people.
As a newspaper, the Herald is already ad
mitted to be without a rival in Georgia. Events
transpire with such rapidity that every per
son who desires to keep paca with the times,
must have a live daily or weekly paper. Our
columns will be fonnd to give the very latest
news on every subject Whatever of inter
est occurs in any part of the world is made
known to our readers, and all the various top
ics of tho day are discussed intelligently and
without bias.
Never before in the history of the world
was it more necessary for every person who
can read to subscribe for a newspaper. The
struggle between centralism and Constitu
tional Democratic Government is entering
upon a new phase. Gigantic railroad and
bond rings at the North control and direct
the legislation of Congress, and as their in
terest can only be advanced by tbe existence
of a strong, centralized government, they are
passing laws, ono by one, whoso ultimate de
sign is to reduce the States to the con
dition of mere provinces. Encroachments
more radical and startling than ever have
been made on the rights of the peopl.o The
South has been converted into a second Ire
land; her governments overturned by the
mandate of a petty judge, backed by federal
bayonets ; her people plundered by foreign
adventurers and native scoundrels, and her
libei ties crushed out with a ruthlessness which
has not any parallel save in Poland, Ireland,
and Hungary. To-day the men who struggled
through six years of bloody warfare, and the
children of the martyrs to the cause of South
ern Independence are political slaves, and
what their future is to be, remains shrouded
iu impenetrable darkness. Meantime, the
terrible corruptions of the party in power, as
proven by tbe Credit Mobilier expositions,
implicating the outgoing and incoming Vice
Presidents, togetner with a large number of
the most prominent leaders of tho Radicals,
arc undermining the very foundation of Dem
ocratic institutions, and paving the way for
empire.
While in the United States there is much
of mournful interest to attract the reader of
cotemporary history, abroad the drama is
equally exciting and important. France is
still kept unquiet by the violence of political
factions; in Great Britain the masses are
moving towards Democracy; in Germany the
Church question has assumed formidable
proportions; in Italy the situation increases
in interest, while in Spain there are evidences
that the revolution which placed Amadeus on
the throne is not yet ended. Everywhere, in
short, do we daily witness new and startling
occurrences, the regular and faithful record
of which makes the Herald a perfect history
of the world.
With a large corps of competent and ex-1
perienced editors, correspondents and repor
ters, and with arrangements concluded or
makThg for letters from all parts of the world
we can promise to the reading public a paper
which will, in every respect, satisfy their de
sires. Literature, science, the arts, will all
receive attention. Our agricultural, com
mercial and manufacturing interests will bo
earnestly and steadfastly supported, and our
columns will always be kept open to poor and
rich alike. HTfld
