when M. Emile de Girardin, who was be

been with the Vicomte de la Guerronniere

lost.
To change the line between Marion and
Taylor counties. Adversely and bill lost.
On notion of Mr. Howell the bill incor
porating the Merchants’ Bank of Atlanta,
was taken up.
Mr. Cooper opposed the bill, as he was
opposed to paper money. It has brought
all the present evils on the country. Mr.
Cooper filled out his full time, but by
unanimous consent, was granted an exten
sion.
In addition to the amendments offered
by the committee on banks, Mr. Cooper
offered several amendments, in one of
which he inserted the words “gold and
silver” instead of lawful money of the
United States.
Mr. Howell, the author of the bill, came
to its rescue.
Mr. Blance entertained similar views as
Col. Cooper.
Mr. Winn advocated the bill
in a telling speech. The opposition
characterized the bill as a mon
strosity, when in fact it was the only way
we had now-a-days of getting money. He
hoped the bill would pass. The yeas and
nays were called on some of the various
amendments, which were invariably lost.
Mr. Cooper then withdrew another
amendment, because he saw a decided dis
position to "hug the rag-baby.”
Mr. Crawlord moved that the whole
thing be re-committed to the committee,
as it had been amended and patched op
until it was not recognizable. Lost.
Senator Peavy offered an amendment,
making each stockholder individually lia
ble for debts to the full extent ot theii
stock. Agreed to.
Senator Howell had no objections. It
only made the concern strongeV*-
Among the various amendments, one by
Mr. Dubose requiring none but legal in

The amendments were each in turn dis
posed of, when the bill came up for its fina
passage, which was carried by a two-thirds
vote.

HOUSE.
Thursday Morning, Feb. 3, 1876.
Met pursuant to adjournment at 10
o’clock a. M.
Speaker Hardeman in the chair.
Prayer offered by the Rev. John Jones
Chaplain.
On motion of Mr. Peeples of Gwinnett
the call of the roll was suspended.
The journal of Wednesday was read and
approved.
Mr. Baker, of Bartow, moved to recon
sider so much of the action of the House
as relates to its action on the following bill,
to-wit:
A bill to repeal an act entit'ed an act to
create a State Board of Health.
An animated discussion arose on the re
peal of this bill, Messrs. Turnbull, of
Banks, Peeples, of Gwinnett,and Baker, of
Bartow, favoring -its repeal. It was ably
defended on the other side bv Messrs. Gra
ham, of Dade, Hammond, of Thomas,
Thomas, of Chatham, Nelms, of Campbell,
and Livingston, of Newton.
After some time spent in the discussion
of the matter before the House, Mr. All-
red, of Pickens called for the previous
question, which call was sustained.
Mr. Turnbull, of Banks, on the motion
reconsider, moved for the call of the yeas
and nays, which call was sustained, and
the Clerk proceeded with the call, which
resulted as follows: Yeas 72, nays 60. So
tbe bill to reconsider prevailed.
Mr. Lawton, chairman of the Committee
on Judiciary, submitted the committee
report.
Mr. Bacon, of Bibb, chairman of the
Committee on Corporations, submitted the
committee report.
Mr. Graham, of Dade, chairman on en
rollment, submitted the committee report,
The hoar of 11 o’clock having arrived,
the following bill was taken np as the
special order of the day, and the Home
proceeded with the consideration of the
same, to-wit:
To repeal an act to create the office of
State Geologist, and for other purposes.
A discussion was again entered into, par
ticipated in by Messrs. Turnbull, of Banks,
in favor of the repeal of the bill, and Adami
of Monroe, and Smith, of Dawsou, oppose*
to its repeal. After considerable discus
sion, Mr. Rankin, of Gordon, called the
previous question on the indefinite post
ponement of the bill, which call was sus
tained. Turnbull, of Banks, on the mo
tion to indefinitely postpone the bill, called
for tbe yeas and nays, which call was sus
tained and the Clerk proceeded with the
tories, was Major Fridolin. HU daughters,
equally famous for their beauty and
fashion, were the MarquUe de Galiffet
and Madame Cordier, two incomparable
belles. He was a true type of French
character, always gay, always young, hav
ing the ready money of wit as well as the
ready money of the bank. We dined
together all last winter, and he was the
most listened to of all the company. He
said things to be remembered and quoted,
like these : “Every woman bears the mark
either of God or the devil;” “How many
men of genius there are without talent,
and how many men of talent without
genius.” When he was asked his political
opinions he said: “It is hard for me to be
a Republican between the Whites and the
Reds; still I am devoted to the Green
Republic, that of the woods and fields.”
M. de la Guerronniere made his po
litical fortune by a portrait of Napoleon
III. in the solemn style of Lamartine. He
wrote very little, which is a virtue in these
times. He said, like Pythagoras, “Be si
lent, unless you can say something better
than silence.” I think I told you once
that he had on his table a sand-glass which
marked five minutes for visitors. When
La Guerronniere turned his glass the most
loquacious would take his hat. Two weeks
ago we dined together at the house of the
Countess de la Chatre, his cousin, with
Henry de Pene and someother journalists.
The dinner was very gay, consideringthat
we were thirteen at the table, I am very
sorry La Guerronniere is dead, but since
somebody had to die I am glad that it was
he rather than L a
The harmony of numbers cannot be dis
turbed with impunity, any more than that
of the waves of the sea or the vibrations of
universal light. A grain of sand under
the wheels of time would throw the world
off the track. When the Svbarite com
plained of the crumpled rose-leaf he spoke
a word of deep philosophy.
Shall I speak of the Marquis of St.
George ? He was a man of talent, who
imagined he would make himself illus
trious by writing the libretto of a comic
opera. Voltaire had said of Fontenelle.
‘Born to all gifts, he made an opera!” St.
George’s was considered old as the hills
because his couplets had been sung under
the Restoration, and even under the First
Empire. He had been dyeing his hair for
half a century, and his wonderful state of
preservation had been admired for at least
twenty-five years. He was at all the balls
and dinner-parties—at some because he
was the author of words set to music by
Auber and Halevy, at others merely be
cause he was the Marquis de 8t. George.
One dav a fashionable woman said to him
seriously, “How can a gentleman like you
write comic operas?” very much as that
imbecile Boileau said to Moliere, “How
can you amuse yourself with such
farces?”
This Marquis of 8t Georges was the
most gallant of men who believed all life
to be composed of comic operas. While I
was director of the Theatre Lyrique he
brought me his whole repertory. Return
ing his visit I was astonished to find him
lodged so high. He said, “I mount
as many stairs as I have descended
years.” He ran up his five flights like
a man with a light heart. May the
turf lie as lightly on him.
line word of Acbille Jubinal, the fourth
in the list of the days necrology. He was
a poet and antiquarian, one of those who,
though highly gifted, only get half way to
fame, for lack of persistence in one fur
row. Jubinal scattered himself in crumbs
right and left, now journalist, now histo
rian, now politician. Under the empire
he almost succeeded. The clock gave its
warning, but never struck. They were
about to make him a Senator from the
P renees, where he founded a museum,
when he died. He was a brave soul, who
never did a wrong to the Franch language,
to liberty, or to morals—an epitaph which
cannot be wasted on all journalists.
And now, my dear readers, let me tell
yon a story of another friend of mine,
who was an ass, but not a savant. His
name was Pierrot
The frost was silvering the trees of the
Park Monceau with dull white powder,
like the head of a marquis of the old re
gime. It was in front of tbe Rotunda,
and 9 o’clock in tbe morning. The sun
hung in the fog like a globe of fire, but
cast forth no beams. The wind was cruel
to the poor world. People walked rapidly
along the Boulevard de Cqurcelles; women
vailed their faces and men drew their
heads inside their collars. It was a day
when a lover’s sigh would have frozen in
the air.
I was harrying by like everybody else.
A female rag-picker, pale and famished,
led by the bridle a poor little "donkey,”
which seemed a hundred years old, and
which dragged a poor little cart, full of the
rubbish of the street—rags, broken bottles,
torn papers, worn out skillets, crusts of
bread, the thousand nothings which are
the fortune of rag-pickers. The woman
had done good work since midnight, but
the ass was ready to drop. He stopped
short, as if be had made up his mind to go
no further. His legs trembled and threat
ened a fall. He hung his head with resig
nation, as if awaiting the stroke of death.
Tbe sight touched and arrested me. A
man would have cursed and beaten the
poor beast to rouse him; the woman loolc-
ed at him with an eye of motherly pity.
The donkey returned her leek, as if say
ing, “You see it is all over. I have done
mv best for you. night after night, because
I saw your misery was greater than mine.
You have treated me well, sharing yonr
bread with me, and your neighbors oats,
when you could steal any ; but I am dy
ing at last.”
The woman looked at him and said
gently, ‘-Gome, come, dear Pierrot, do not
leave me here.” She lightened the load
by taking out a basket of broken bottles.
“Oome, now,” rhe said, as if talking to a
child. “You can get along nicely now.”
She pnt her thonlder to the wheel but the
, donkey did not move. He knew he had
not the strength to walk to St. Oueq, his
wretched home. She still coaxed him.
“How do you think we can get on this
way, Pierrot ? To be sure, I could drag
the cart But I can’t put you in itu and
you would he ashamed to be draggeiiafter
it.” The donkey raised his ears, bat no
move.
I was going to speak to her, when she
ran to the nearest wine-shop. The ass
followed her with anxious eyes; he seemed
fearful that he would die without his mis
tress. He was so little you would have
taken him at a distance for a Pyrenean
dog. He had grown gray in the haraess.
A few tufts of gray hair remained here
and there on his emaciated body. He
looked like a mountain burned bare in
many places. His resigned air showed a
mind free from wordly vanities. He was
far past the age where one strikes Atti
tudes. He was almost transparent in j his
leanness. But his face was all the more
expressive. It had something almost
human in its intelligence and goodness.
Why had he been condemned to such
suffering? was it in expiation of a former
life passed in luxurious orgies?
The ragpicker soon returned, bringing a
piece of Dread and a piece of sugar. The
ass turned and showed his teeth, like old
piano keys. But although it was his break-
fast time, he had no more strength in his
moutlijthan in his legs. She gave him the
sugar. He took it as if to oblige her, but
dropped it again, and the same with the
bread,
“Ah! mon Dieu! What shall I do?”
said the rag-picker. She thought no more
of her cart. She was full of anxiety lor
her friend Pierrot. “ Pierrot 1” she cried
again. Two great tears came to her eyes.
She took his head in her arms and kissed
him like a child. The caress did what
nothing else could do. The ass roused
himself and brayed as in his best days. I
feared it was only his swan-song. I ap
proached and said to the woman, “ You
seem to be in trouble.”
“Oh,” she said crying, “if you kneiw
how I love this beast' I saved him from
the butchers four years ago. In those days
I had only a hrd. I have raised seven
children with my hook. The father is
gone and one other, and my eldest daughter
was taken away a fortnight ago. My
worst grief was that I had to take one to
the Foundlings—I had eleven in all—four
of them died at the breast. It’s' no use;
you can’t have good milk when vou work
in the streets all night. This little donkey
has been my consolation. He was better
company than my husband. He never
got drunk, and never beat me, and I never
beat him. Did I, Pierrot?”
The poor little beast appeared to share
in the conversation. He half raised hit
ears and assented. One of ray friends
passed by and asked me what I was doing,
“lam making a new friend.” “He may
be witty, but he is not handsome.” “ 1
find him admirable, and I would like to
see you in his place. He has been out
since midnight. Here, you want to help
me in a work of charity ?” “ With all
my heart.”
“Very well. Let ns buy this ass and
put him on the retired list. This woman
will take good care of him.” The ragpicker
looked at us severely, fearing we wore
laughing at her. But when she fcaw the
shine of the Louis-d’or, she smiled. “How
much did Pierrot cost?” “Ten francs.”
“Well, you go back to the abattoir and
buy another ass, and take good care of
this one.” I gave my card to the woman
and said good-by to her ami the donkey.
The miracle was complete. The ass start
ed off in high spirits, the woman pushing
the cart from behind.
That evening the poor woman came to
me in tears. I understood at once. “Ah,
sir, he is gone 1” “Poor Pierrot.” “Yes,
sir, we got to St. Ouen one way or another.
But when he came in sight of our hut he
fell on his knees. I tried to raise I urn,
but this time it was all over. My children
ccme running and crying. They talked to
him and kissed him. He looked at them
so sadly as to break our hearts. I tell you,
there are lots of people in the world not
worth half so much as poor Pierrot. Think
of it, he wanted to die at home after finish-
but he was put off with the excuse that
the moon was not in the right conjunction;
to just wait until the next change, when
the moon was once dark, it would be cold
enough to exceed their most sanguine ex
pectations.
Once more they waited, but this time
with impatience. The moon changed
about two weekB ago, and the night, be
came dark as Egypt. The anxious people
waited a week tor the fulfillment of the
old rascal's prophecies, and then they rose
as one man and went to his abode. The
scene that followed was tumultuous. The
ice man Bwore he was in league with the,
men on the northern lakea to plunder his
neighbors; the saw-mill man said there
was no doubt that he had a spite against
men trying to earn an honest living; the
men who had pork and grain to take to
market asked why he wanted to beat them
out of their hard earnings, while all agreed
he had made an agreement with the To
ledo clothing and whisky men to get a
percentage on all the goods he sold in his
neighborhood ; and they finally took the
false prophet out, rode him on a rail, and
then dragged him through a mud puddle.
That prophet has now neither honor in his
own country or any other.
A Washington letter says: “The atten
tion of the President was called to-day to
the statements that he had declared to
Senator Conkling that he would not be a
candidate for renomination, and that he
wouid favor Senator Conkling for the nom
ination. The President remarked that he
had had no conference with Senator Conk
ling nor with any one else on the subject,
neither had he written any letters in re
gard to the matter. He further said that
he had no doubt of the election of the Re
publican nominee. He considered it de
sirable that there should be harmony in
the deliberations of the convention and in
its choice of a candidate. It is the impres
sion among the friends of the President
that he will maintain the same policy as
he did prior to his first and second nomi
nation.”

HOW HE LIED.
The Way a Weather-Prophet Deeel ved
Ills Trusting Neighbors.
From Ihe Toledo (O.) Blade.
There are several people in this section
of the country who make rails and kill
hogs when the moon is “a-fullin’ ”, cut
weeds when it is “a-wanin’ ”, plant pota
toes in the light of the moon, because they
want them to come up, build a fence at ihe
same time, because they want it to stay
up; put on shingles in the light of the
moon, to make them stay down; who
plant their “cowcumbers” before sunrise
on the first of June, and sell their produce
according to the ember days. The apostle
of this class of agriculturists in this section
is an old grizzly-bearded sage living but a
few miles from the city, who has the intel
lectual capacity of a Digger Indian, united
to a loud-mouthed confiaentness that car
ries conviction to his disciples.
Jast fail the old man studied up the
signs, felt the moss on the trees, took no
tice of the way pigeons were lighting out
for the South, peered in the muskrat’s
holes, and then announced with tbe calm
assurance of an oracle, that we were going
to have a winter so co'd that we would
think the Greenlanders had gotten hold of
the isothermal line and twisted it arouud,
giving us their end of it.
“Yes, sir,” said old Weatherwise; “it’s
a-goin’ to be a regular old stinger, an’ no
mistake. It’ll set in cold airly, about the
tost quarter of the moon in October, and
keep on a-gelting colder until just afore
the moon fulls in January it’ll be so tarna
tion cold that coal oil will have to be sold
by the chunk, and you kin buy whiskey
by the plug.”
And his hearers straightway departed
from him, filled with the idea that a new
glacial period was at hand. They heaped
up their wood-piles until they could not
see over the tops thereof, they raised small
mountains over their potato holes, they
wasted their substance in buying Ulster
overcoats, and the stock of whisky they
laid in enabled a liquor dealer in this city
to make his wife a present of a seal-skin
suit and a diamond bracelet
Thus fortified, they sat down and waited,
sneering at their less provident neighbors,
a good deal alter the fashion that old Fath
er Noaii chuckled over the way those fel
lows slipped who did not prepare an ark
of shittim wood at the time of the extraor
dinary precipitation, which lasted forty
days and forty nights.
At first the weather started in very
brash, and thev were delighted. Then it
softened up a little anil resolved itself into
a sort of mild, subtropical winter, which,
as it spread itself out over weeks, began to
disgust them. When Christmas dawned,
fair as a May morning, they felt as if they
should be heard, and the mail who had
built a hig ice-house by the river, and in
vested all liis money in that and ice-plows,
stepped around to old Weatherwise to ask
what he meant by thus trifling with their
feelings and interests; if he was thus going
to run this weather business, he must do
it, and not fool around iu tins absurd
manner. Old WestherwiseannihUatedhim
with—
“Now, any fool’d know better' than to
expect cold weather afore Christmas.
Just you wait till the days begin to length
en, ss the old sayin’ is.”
They were forced to be satisfied with
this, but went off ^rambling. New Year’s
dawned even’ brighter than Christinas,
and then the chap who nad bought a bar
rel of aloohol to serve aa a beverage in the
cold days, went to the old man in rage,
