A Sunday dispatch from Paris via London,
(gee firet page) assumes to annormoe the definite
toa*& of the treaty of peace between Germany
and France, and declares that they will certain
ly bo acoepted by the French Assembly. The
indemnity in money is five milliards of francs—
or say about a thousand millions of. dollars
American currency. A franc is equal to 191-5
cents federal coin. This is a round sum—a
solid bill of damages, but a good deal better
th«n $2,600,000,000, and the £380,000,000 at
different times reported as the amount of Ger
many’s little bill of costs.
The cotton excess of this year over last re
ported Friday night in New York, was 672,261
bales. The exports are enormous. They were
last week 125,248 bales, against 61,444 for the
same week last year. The year’s exports so far
are 1,696,183 bales, against 1,161,049 up to the
same period of the last cotton year, showing an
exoess of 635,034 bales.
This is the last week of the last session of the
41st Congress. It closes on Saturday night at
12 o'clock.
The Berlin papers print a dispatch from King
William formally announcing the conclusion of
a treaty of peace. The German troops will not
march through Paris.
The High Commission held their first meet
ing in Washington yesterday,
A stormy Sunday cleared off during the night
with a northwest wind, and there is every prom-
iso, if the wind goes down, of a heavy frost
Monday night. _
Distress at Dawson.
A letter from B. F. Collins, proprietor of the
Dawson Hotel, which was lately burned up in
the disastrous conflagration at that place, asks
aid from the citizens of Macon. Ho says for
himself and family, that they lost literally
every thing in the world, and are left with not
so muoh as a change of clothing, and many
others are in a situation of almost equal desti
tution. It is a case calling for assistance from
Macon and all the neighboring cities.
Advancing.—The Charleston Radical organ,
of Saturday, states that $200 was the price of
votes the day before “in the House on the Green
ville and Colombia Kailroad thieving." This
language is plain, applying as it does to the
white and black negroes who make up that
branch of the South Carolina Legislature, but
we hardly suppose the writer does the crowd
justice in the statement. We think he puts the
figures much too high. From $5 to $50 has
been generally considered, heretofore, the av
enge price for a trooly loil member ot the South
Carolina Legislature. Why there should be
inch an enormous advance in prices, we fail to
understand. Has Scott been “bulling” the
market? The Atlanta lobby ring will not thank
hftn if he has. They will have to spend fonr or
fivo times as much a3 they calculated upon the
trooly loil in tho Georgia Legislature, next
winter.
One op the Faeces.—They have got a spe
cial committee in the South Carolina negro
Legislature investigating charges of bribery,
corruption and black mailing against the mem
bers. But who shall investigate the investi
gating committee ? They have Governor Scott
np as a witness. Bat who shall witness against
Scott? It is like unto a commission of dc lunat-
ico inguirendo in a mad house, or aa investiga
tion into character among a gang of pickpock
ets. Scott testified to amass of corruption—
among other things that a committee man tojd
him “that report can’t get through until I get
five hundred dollars!” but Scott knows that a
search for honesty in that reeking mass of negro
Radical filth would be like hunting for a dia
mond in a dnnghilL
Feeights oh the State Road.—A com house
in Macon shows us two freight bills for carloads
of com from Dalton, as follows:
W. & A. R. R. M. & W. R R.
Feb. 18,1871 $19 64 $19 64
Feb. 25, 1871 27 31 19 28
This is com from East Tennessee. Of course
the proper policy is to exhaust contiguous coun
try for our food supplies before stretching abroad
to the remoter regions of the West. The Wes
tern com, however, comes through at Green
Line rates, while there are no such rates for
East Tennessee com. It will be seen here that
in ono week freight rates were raised on the
State Road on East Tennessee com taken up at
Dalton $7 67 per car load, or abont three cents
a bushel.
A Coal Famine.—The New York papers of
Friday are full of anticipated coal famine in
that city, and say there is danger of riots and
violence among the poorer classes, who are suf
fering in their flesh and bones, as well as their
pockets from the ungodly plots and contrivances
of railway men, coal operators, coal companies
and coal miners. The stock of coal in market
is very low and there is no disposition to sell,
•Ten at $3 50, $10, $12 or $13 more than a ton
to a buyer. Grocers are doling out coal to the
poor at 30 cents a packet or $28 a ton. Deal
ers are holding out for any price from $15 to
$30 per ton. There are said to be not 30,000
tons in the city of New York. Tho repeal of
the duty on foreign coal would make a quick tuxd
sure end of all these misdoings and sufferings.
A New Plan of Tax Assessment.—Mr. S. R.
Wells, the late Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, who is now at the head of the Revenue
Commission for the State of New York, reports a
brand new system of tax assessment. Taxation
on personal property implies a great deal of
troublesome and unwelcome inquisition into
private affairs—concealment is easy, and gen
erally half the rightful tax is evaded. The com
mission proposes to rate the taxes by the class
of dwellings or stores or warehouses occupied,
and the style of living or doing bnsiness. At
least one good result might be expected to fol
low this system—a sensible abatement of osten
tatious extravagance.
The Aobhi Santtaetum.—Dr. Quixano
writes to the Sun in response to Rer. Dr. Yin-
ton’s San Domingo letter. Dr. Qnixano was a
surgeon in the Spanish army which undertook
to quell the insurrection of 1863. Of 40,000
Spanish troops, in a little over a year 28,000
found hospitable graves on the islands of tho
febris palludica—a deadly fever which prevails
all the year round and attacks citizens and
strangers alike. Of tho French army of fifty
thousand which undertook to reduce Hayti,
forty thousand perished of tho same fever.
The Carnival at Washington.—The press is
their shoulders over the “so-called' 1
carnival at Washington—a stupid and insane
mummery worthy of Hayti and the Court of
Fans tin tho First, as well as the kindred pie
bald populace which throng the city of Wash
ington and tho American Court. It aptly illus
trated the degeneracy in taste, morals, intelli
gence and dignity from the ancient standard,
and inclined all sensible men to hide their heads.
The Herald says Cadet Smith “is hovering on
the verge ” of a dismissal from West Point
Let him spread his sooty pinions and soar away,

euumte.

A Mr. Robert Foster left this city for Chatta
nooga, on the 10J o’clock train on Friday night.
Just after passing the Roiling Mill in making
an attempt to pass from one car to another, he
fell, and both his legs, from his knees down,
were horribly smashed by the cars running over
them. He also received one or two flesh wounds
on the head. After laying in this condition for
sometime, he was broughtto the city and carried
to the Stubblefield House.
At the time of writing this article he is sup
posed to be dying. We have heard that he was
under the influence of liquor at the time of the
accident.
The wife_ of Mr. James McCsmpbell, who
ives abont one mile above Marietta, was killed
on yesterday.
Mrs. McOampbell, hearing the Dalton freight

her dress canght on the track, throwing her
down, the train passing over and killing her.
Fob two days the Baptist Ohnroh at Stone

Those Trestles.—Oar readers will be grati
fied to learn that the work of fitting up the
trestles on the M. & A. Railroad is progressing
encouragingly. That over Ivey branch, one of
the longest and tallest on the road, is over half
completed, and by the aid of the “Steam Shov

The Columbus Enquirer says a most cold
blooded murder was perpetrated in that city,
Thursday night, atMehaffey’s wagon yard. The
victim was a negro boy from Harris county
named Brooks Walker, and the murderer John
Aaron, white, from Russell county, Alabama.
Aaron was drank.
In a'Fair Way for Settlement.
We learn from the Montgomery Advertiser,
of Saturday, that the much discussed question
of how much of the State’s bonds issued to the
Alabama and Chattanooga (Stanton’s) railroad
should be assumed by the State, is in a fair way
of settlement—the House, on Friday, having
passed, by a vote of 73 to II, the following res
olutions :
Section 1. Be it enacted by the General As
sembly of Alabama, That the Governor be and
is hereby authorized and required to inquire
into and ascertain the amount of bonds loaned
to the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad Com
pany, and of the bonds of said company en
dorsed by the State, and when snch amount is
ascertained the Governor shall make provision
by temporary loan or from moneys in the State
Treasury, not otherwise appropriated to pay the
interest upon said bonds, whenever the coupons
attached thereto shall be presented to him or to
any agent he may appoint for that purpose.
Provided, That no interest shall be paid upon
any of said bonds not proved to be held on the
1st day of January, 1871, by innocent and bona
fide purchasers.
Provided farther, That no interest shall be
paid upon any of said bonds, in the hands of
said railroad company or merely hypothecated by
them, any incorporator or agent thereof, it
being the object and intent of this enactment
to pay interest only to innocent and bona fide
purchasers of valid claims against the State.
Sec. 2. Be it farther enacted, That whenever
the Governor shall have paid any of said inter
est he may proceed under any of said statutes
providing a summary remedy in such case, or
according to any forms of law which he may
deem best and sufficient for the interest of the
State to recover the amount so paid from tho
Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad Company.
Tho Advertiser seems to be of the opinion
that the Senate will concur in this resolution
and the problem thus be definitely solved.
How the Trooly Loll Talk to Each
Other in the South Carolina Legis
lature.
We find the following good reading in the
Columbia correspondence of the Charleston
Cornier. Corbin and Leslie are two of the
Radical leaders in Sonth Carolina:
Corbin had been advocating a certain bill
against which Leslie fonght hard and which be
succeeded in defeating. This angered the znnl-
titudinous Senator who, at a time when the
President called Leslie to order, exclaimed, “he
is never in order except when he is stealing
Land Commission Bonds.” To this fling Leslie
replied, “you ut a liar, and everybody here
knows it.” And here the matter seemed at rest
until abont twenty minutes after, when Leslie
arose to
A PRIVILEGE QUESTION.
He said the statement of Corbin was willfully
and cowardly false, and he conld prove it. He
had stood tho charges as long as ho conld, and
would do so no longer.
Corbin.—Did you not openly boast in the
Senate that yon had stolen from the fond?
That you had made money ont of it?
Leslie.—That was before any examination
was held, and I did not choose to deny the
charges which were made against me. Never
theless, I say that your statement is a willful lie,
and I call upon Senator Foster to state what he
knows abont my transactions in the Land Com
mission. .
Corbin.—I have said nothing, and implied
nothing, but what the ex-Land Commissioner
has openly boasted on the floor. I know that
THE XiAND COMMISSION
is a huge swindle from beginning to end. I al
ways thought it so, and am sorry for it, because
it is a blot upon the Republican party. It was
gotten up for the sole purpose of putting the
money of the State into the pockets of indi
viduals. And, as a result, $700,000 have been
spent, when the State has now not more than
$100,000 worth of land in its possession. Some-'
body has stolen the six or seven hundred thou
sand dollars, and the chief captain and general
of the concern was the Ssnator from BamwelL
Such blackguards aa these may bean improve
ment — being trooly loll — on the “slave-
drivers” of ante bcUum times, who sat in the
Senate of Sonth Carolina, bat* we have our
doubts about it
Pbesentation of a Cane to Pbe&ioent Gbakt.
—On Monday a fine leather cane, made by John
Mayer, Esq., of Pottaville, Pa., was presented
to President Grant by a party of his friends.
The presentation was made through Hon.
Henry L. Cake of Pennsylvania.— Washington
Republican, 21th.
Mayer has not yet received his commission,
but is daily expecting it,—provided of course,
no more kin turn np in the meantime.
' The tcmperanco men took a new start in
Massachusetts on the 22d. They held a meet

“moral suasion” alone, and turn their backs on
the Radical prohibitionists.

The Son’s Samana ooxrespoBdent with the
San Domingo commission, writes from Samana
as follows;
As to ooal, Professor Blake disproved the ex
istence of it at the head of Samana Gnlf; be
brought back to the Tennessee, after a very
elaborate examination only aamples of veiygood
lignite. This is noteworthy, because Mr. Fa-
bens, in a pamphlet in whioh he extols the re
sources of this island to a seventh heaven or a
little higher, quotes a letter written by General
Buceta, one of the Generals commanding the
last Spanish army of occupation, in whioh he
says that coal from these veins had been pat on
board one of the Spanish war steamers and
found equal to the best Cardiff. There is no
coal at aU, and this is a fair sample of ninety*
ulna hundredths of the “bosh” that has been
written by interested parties abont San Domin
go-
XiABOB,
the whole matter may be summed up in a fer
words. The original Indians were unfitted by
their physical oonstithtion for hard work, and
when put to it by the Spaniards were soon ex
terminated.
No white man canlaborinSanDomingo. The
mnlattoes are enervated by the climate, and
cannot work hard.
The negroes will not work unless forced.
As to the
CLIMATE 07 SAN DOMINGO,
to the white man it is simply ono of the most
deadly in the world. I do not cato what testi
mony the Commissioners may report; they can'
not alter foots. In conversation with Fred
Douglass shortly before leaving Samana, he said
to me. “I am conviced that Nature has arrayed
herself in all her beauty to tempt men to come
hero to their death. Beautiful as this country
is, I am satisfied it is tho grave of the white
mon and the negro also, I feel the olimatio in-
influences myself.” I respectfully’call the at
tention of President Grant to this remark of
Mr. Douglass.
The question of the advisability of pnrehas-
jg Samana as a ooal station is entirety apart
from that of annexing Son Domingo. I will
therefore lay before the readers of the Son the
relative cost of
COALING AX SAMANA AND ST. THOMAS.
There was delivered to United States vessels
of war at Samana in all the year 1870 abont
2000 tons of coal, wbich, reckoning the cost
and freight together at $10 per ton and adding
thereto the rent of the place ($150,000) brings
the cost of the coal to abont $85 50 per ton.
At St. Thomas the United States can have a
coal station far superior to Samana in every re
spect—that is, in geographical position, safety,
depth of anchorage, facilities of coaling, &o.—
for $5000 per annum.
In 1870 United States men-of-war took on
board at St. Thomas about 1700 tons of coal,
which cost, including rent, abont $12 50 per
ton, or some $73 per ton less than what was
supplied at Samana. When I further record
that coal can be supplied at St. Thomas at the
rate of 100 tons per hoar, and that it took the
Tennessee five days to take 250 tons on board
at Samana. I think farther comparison between
the two places unnecessary.
in conclusion, the annexation of San Domingo
by the United States is, as far as Baez is con
cerned, a swindle for personal aggrandizement;
as far as Dominicans not immediately interested
are concerned, it is an imposition to which they
are in reality earnestly opposed, and which they
will resist to the death; as far as President
Grant is concerned, it is a mistake into whioh
he has been led by misplaced confidence in un
worthy men; and as relates to the American
people, it is a political blander which will begin
to bear its bitter frait3 in the shape of decima
tion of our army and navy, and in increased ex
penditures of every kind, from the very moment
of its consummation.
The High Moral Question.
As official organs of “the party of high mor
al ideas,” the Domingo Commission finds a so
cial statns which does not reqoiro the use of
spectacles. The Herald has the following abont
it:
COMPLEXION OF THE NATIVES.
The mass of the people are black or of mixed
races. There are very few pure whites. While
some are duly married, a great many mon and
women live together and bring np their families
without going through that ceremony. Nor does
such a mode of living damage the reputation
or standing of persons.
HOW THE PRESIDENT IS NOT MAE BLED.
The President is an unmarried man, yet there
is a woman called Mrs. Baez, and the children
by her are regarded as his proper family just as
if they had been born in wedlock.
SAXE OF A DAUGHTER.
I learn that an American, called a judge, who
was here some time, and who has figured prom
inently in grants, speculations and the annexa
tion scheme, adopted the habits of the country
far]as to take a temporary wife—for which he has
paid the mother, who is regarded as a respecta
ble woman, a hundred dollars a month. I men
tion these things only to show the sense of mor
ality ih this country.
SOCIETY AND AMUSEMENTS.
There are no amusements or means of pleas
ant recreation and no society for agreeable so
cial intercourse. Almost the only amusement
the Dominicans have, except an occasional bear
bait, is a cock fight every Sunday, and at times
on other days. It is, however, the regular Sun
day amusement, and an aristocratic one at that.
Last Sunday the Governor, who is the brother
of the President, and under the President the
chief man here, was the principal manager at
the cock pit. He dressed the fowls and filed
their spurs for the fight, and was in every way
the leading person in managing the exhibition.
There were others of the.first class of people
there, though, on the whole, the little crowd
was a motley one.
Opposition to San Domingo Annexation.—
The World correspondent writes that paper that
he sees no evidence of violent opposition to
Amerioan annexation among the Dominicans.
He reports all the stories of pronnneiamentoes
and fighting false, and thinks that Cabral him
self is opposed to annexation only because
Baez is in favor of it, and is consequently held
in power and place by the influence of the Uni
ted States government. He says there is in fact,
no such thing as “a people” or a political opin
ion in Dominica—the people being divided into
mere personal parties and following the various
aspirants for supreme power. But their follow
ing generally stops short of the field of sangui
nary strife. Saysthis correspondent:
At St; Cristobal yesterday a fair was held, us
ually resorted to by the monteros, or country
people, from far and wide. My informant
counted the visitors to this fair, and found them
to number 185, of whom but eighteen were
men. This tells the story. As soon as a “revo
lution” is threatened all the male Dominicans
who can escape in time from the conscription
of the government nearest their homes llee to
the hills and call upon the mountains to cover
them. The rest are compelled, as I have seen
the wretched Mexicans compelled, to “volun
teer” for “God and Liberty.”

Synopsis of Weather Statement.
Wab Dep’t, Office Chief Signal Office
Washington, February 26, 1871.
The low barometer yesterday evening at Nash,
ville was this morning at Indianapolis, and this
moment near Toronto, Canada, where the pres
sure is very low. The progress of this central
depression has been acoompanied with rain from
the middle Atiantio to Lake Erie and snow on
Lake Michigan. It has been followed by a
heavy rain on the Gnlf and snow in Missouri.
Fresh southwest winds have prevailed on the
Sonth Atiantio coast and brisk northeast winds
on the Lakes. It is now clearing up with
brisk northwest winds on the Gnlf and south
west winds on the South Atiantio. The storm is
closing with high northwest winds in Michigan
and heavy rains and sleet on Lake Erie. The
weather has been fair on the Paoifio, and fair
with rising temperature in Kansas. The prob
abilities are that high winds will probably pre
vail on the Lakes and brisk winds on the east
Atiantio coast until Monday night, and tho
clouds will' probably bank up over the South
Atlantic and Gulf with fresh wind3.

Cotton Movements or the Week.
New Yobk, February 26.—The cotton move
ment for the week show a falling off in receipts
while there is an enormous increase in exports.
The receipts at the ports daring the week were
136,661, against 144,197, lastweek, 161,095, the
previous week, and 154,482, three weeks since.
The receipts since September 1st are 2,787,790
bales, against 2,115,539, [up to the same time
the previous year. The exports of all ports for
the week are 125,248, against 61,444 same week
last year. The exports for the expired portion
of the cotton year are 1,606,183, against 1,161,-
049 at same time last year. The stock of the
ports is 693,218, against 568,234 last year. The
stocks at interior towns are 118,382, against

764,000, against 311,000 last year. American
cotton afloat for Great Britain 294,000, against
249,000 last year. The stock of Indian cotton
afloat for Europe is 131,632, against 108,512
last year. The weather during the week was
again rainy.
The foreign news is meagre. The following
i3 the latest:
Pabis, February 25.—A dispatch from Ver
sailles, dated 12 o’clock, night of Friday, 24th,
says: Thiers, Favre and Bismarck held a long
interview on Friday. Terms of peace were
agreed upon, bnt their exact natnre is a pro
found secret. They will be submitted on Sat
urday to a consultation committee. Peace is
certain. The armistice will not have to be pro
longed. The Prussians enter Paris on Monday.
German Peace Terms.
Pabis, Saturday night, February 25.—The
preliminaries of peace were finally settled to
day. The exact terms are unknown but they
are believed to be severe. Bismarck has been
pitiless thronghont the negotiations. Rappel
says Thiers and a commission of the Assembly
will probably go to Bordeaux on Sunday to sub
mit the conditions agreed on to the Assembly.
It is said they will be immediately adopted and
a further prolongation of the armistice will be
unnecessary. Thiers was at Versailles all day
to-day.
Pabis, February 26, via London, 26.—The
conclusion cf peace is now certain. Thiers
and Favre and a consultive commission have
accepted the following conditions:
1. The cession of Alsace and Metz, but Bel
fort to be restored to the Frenoh.
2. The payment of a war indemnity of five
[thousand] millions francs.
3. A portion of French territory with some
fortified towns like Sedan, to remain in posses

Savannah, February 28, 1871.)
To my Brethren, the Members of the Church in
the Diocese of Georgia :
Mx Dear Brethren : I yesterday received i
letter requesting me to publish the “rules of the
Church in regard to the fast required to be kept
by the members during the season of Lent.” I
hoped to address you upon this subject before
the beginning of Lent, bnt was prevented by
absenoe and sickness.
The object of the Fast, as stated in the “Hom-
. Cotton.
shipped 442.
^ y '-*nn^H-' WOrklll & people loet their saviagg. ilyof Fasting,” is, first, to chastise the flesh, that
A Scheme to Improve the Streets in
Macon.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : The bad
streets in Macon make one think there might
be an improvement in the way of working them,
and do it better, at less cost than the present
mode. My plan is this: In the first place,
build a workhouse something like a cotton ware
house—say to cover half an acre or more of
ground, as may be needed, have the floor made
ont of two inch lumber, laid on good sills, two
feet apart, which will be under the roof. Ab in
the cotton wore house, the centre will not have
any roof or floor. The building to have one
door; bnt can have air windows. You will
then have a superintendent of it, who will take
charge of the convicts, charging each one with
his fines and each day’s board, and crediting
them with their labor. Then put the city carts
to hauling rock into this house. You will then
put your convicts to work at braking the rock,
by the bushel so that it will pass a two inch
ring, at — per bushel until they work out their
fines and board.
These rocks are to be broken under the roof
on the thick floor, so they can be shoveled up
easily into the carts and hauled ont and put in
such places where they are needed—say in mud
holes, which you will find very numerous at this
time of the year.
Let one man attend to tho leveling of the
rock with a rake with six teeth, so angled' as
to keep the bed of the street high in the middle
and gutters open, and in a short time you will
have good streets, and when the streets are
once in good order, half the present force will
keep them np.
Boxes for breaking rook should be made, out
of 2-inch lumber, withont bottom, 12 inches high,
to hold five to ten bushels, with handles to lift it
off the rock when it is fall, and the convict to
get credit for the same, and so on, until he
works ont his debt.
To determine what should be a fair price per
bushel, get some one to break say, several days,
and then yon can determine the price to allow
them. This is the only way to make convicts
pay and to keep the streets in order with their
labor. „
The conviots can bo brought from the jail in
the morning and returned in the evening, if the
work-house thould not be connected with it.
L.
Lodged in a Palace.—The Magnanimous Do
minican Government, when the Commission
reached the city of San Domingo, tendered a
palace for its occupation. The World corres
pondent says:
When yon read of their being courteously
offered a “palace,” and of their taking a grand
house, yon must understand these phrases as
used in a strictly Pickwiokian sense. Thepal-
ace which they deolined to occupy resembles a
Roman hospital with all the windows knooked
ont and the stairways gone to seed. The “genlte-
men of the press” who took possession of it when
the Commissioners politely gave it the go-by,
and got themselves cooks and caterers, and hop
ed to fare sumptuously every day, have ever
since been deserting by squads, until the chief
of their nnmber are now installed with myself
in the city’s hotel. The grand house which the
Commissioners took contained nothing but fleas
and cockroaches. The “Quartermaster-general
of the Republic” beatnp the town for cots, and,
his supply giving ont, Captain Temple had to be
appealed to, and the mattresses of the Tenues-
see sent ashore after its stewards and its cook.

Argnment in No. 2, Macon Circuit—Samuel

ter & Anderson for defendant in error.

by Ook S. Hall, and for defendant in error by
Judge Lyon.
Pending opening argument in No. 3, Macon
Circuit, the Court adjourned till 10 o’clook, a.
it., Monday next.—Era, 26th.
Giants.—The Kansas Bulletin reports a fam
ily of giants living in Jackson county, in that
State. Speaking of a company who went to
see them, that paper says:
The party were received by a man eight feet
and six inches in height, who introduced them
to his wife anddaugther, tho latter a mere child,
not more than twelve years old, and whose pro
portions were even more remarkable than those
of her father. Her name is Rose Plummer,
and though not yet in her teens she is larger
than the largest of men, standing nearly seven
feet high and proportionately large otherwise.
Welcome to Them.—The papers say that
$20,000,000 worth of shooting irons have been
shipped to France and Germany daring the late
Franoe and Germany are welcome to
every one of them. Guns and pistols are the
poorest tools in the universe. “Alas! saith
Hudibras, what perils do environ the man who
meddles with cold iron.”
It be not too wanton, but tamed and brought in
subjeotion to the spirit; second, that the spirit
may be more earnest and fervent in prayer;
and third, that our fast be a testimony and wit
ness with us before God of our humble submis
sion to His High Majesty when we confess and
acknowledge our sins unto Him, and are in
wardly touched with sorrowfulness of heart, be-
. wailing the same in the affliction of our bodies.”
The Church lays down no rale as to “wjhat ye
shall eat or what ye shall drink, or wherewithal
ye shall be clothed;" but she does require of
us during Lent “such a measure of abstinence
as is more especially suited to extraordinary acts
andexeroises of devotion.”
Whatever, therefore, interferes with extraordi
nary acts and exercises of devotion It is our
duty to avoid; whatever will aid us in these
aots and exercises, it is onr duty to use. I urge
you, therefore, my beloved brethren, that ye
abstain from wordly amusements, especially of
the theatre, the opera, the dance and all public
shows. I urge you that you abstain from en
tertainments and feasting, and that the money
which these indulgences would cost be laid aside
until Easter, and then , banded to your Rectors,
to be offered to God for His service. I urge
yon that the time usually devoted to pleasure
be, so far as possible, devoted to seeking the
poor, the sick and needy, and in ministering to
their wants. In the matter of eating, it is not
expected that your fasting should prevent the
performance of your duties or interfere with
your health. Of the degree of fasting in this
respect, therefore, you are the best judges;
still, I would suggest that you constantly control
and mortify your appetites, especially in the
matter of delicaoies, the money value of which
should be given to the poor.
I urge you to be constant and reverent in
yonr attendance upon the Church, confessing
' Christ before men, acknowledgingyonrsinsanci
praying for forgiveness.
Remember, dear brethren, that ye fast not
for the worlds sake, bnt ye do the work for the
spirit's sake, so that, God helping you, your
evil propensities may be ruled, your evil habits
changed, and holy desires may be strengthened
and righteous deeds multiplied. Keeping con
stantly before the mind the end for which you
strive, you must use fasting as a means to attain
that end When, therefore, ye fast, be not care
ful to appear unto men to fast, bnt unto yonr
Father, which is in- secret.
It is, of course, onr duty at all times to seek
the Lord while He may bo found; bnt it is onr
duty to seek Him with redoubled zeal and effort
during the season of Lent
“If,” says St. Bernard, “on the other days
onr zeal has perchance waxed lukewarm, fitting
is it that it be again quickened in fervor of spirit.
If the appetite alone has sinned, let it alone fast,
and it suffleeth; bnt if the other members also
have sinned, why should they not also fast?
Let the eye whioh hath robbed the soul fast,
let ear, hand, tongue and the sonl fast. Let the
eye fast from curious Bights and wantonness of
every kind, that, thoroughly humbled, that
which wandered at will in sin may now be re
strained in penitence. Let the wicked, itching
ear fast from tales and rumors and everthing
that is idle and tendeth not onto salvation. Let
the tongue fast from slander and mnrmurings,
and from useless, vain and abusive words. Let
the hands fast from idle signs and from every
work which is not commanded; and, beyond
all, let the soul itself fast from vices and from
Its own will; for withont this kind of fasting,
all other things are disapproved of by the Lord,
as it is written that in the days of yonr fast
your own will is found.”
Fraying that God may be with and bless yon
in your efforts to do His will, believe me, yours
in Christ and his Church,
John W. Beckwith,
Bishop of Georgia.
Jefferson Davis has taken up his permanent
abode in this oity, after drifting aronnd at hap
hazard for the first few years after the war. He
has rooms at the Peabody Hotel, where he trans
acts the business devolving upon him as Presi
dent, not of the Confederate States, but of the
Carolina Life Insurance Company. He receives
a salary of $5000 a year, bnt no great amount
of work falls to his lot. His name is what the
insurance company wanted more than his busi
ness capacities.
Mr. Davis is remarkably reserved concerning
the “ condition of the country.” It is useless
to mention politics inhi3 presence with the
hope of drawing him ont. Ho refuses to be
drawn ont, and it is said that even to his inti
mate friends he has little to say about politics.
The subject either has no charm for him, or
else he considers himself a failure as a politi
cian. No, that is hardly it, either, for his suc
cess as a politician np to the breaking ont of
the war, is a matter of history, and none are
versed in that history better than himself. He
never appears in public except at church, or to
say a few. words to the Btmday-sohool scholars.
Save on suoh occasions Jefferson Davis is never
or heard of, unless called upon at his
rooms in the Peabody.—Memphis Letter in the
Cincinnati Commerciae.

Why is it that none of the proclamation jour
nals favor their readers with the pen-portrait
of the greatest living Bullock by Nemesis ? We
have watched daily to see this life-like picture
in the Maoon Telegbaph. Surely these jour
nals, who are so liberally paid for publishing
“His Excellency’s” Ku-Klux fiotions, should fa
vor their readers with a portrait of the author.

We find that amonnt of filth culled from the
News by the Chronicle and Sentinel. Gentle
men must stoop low and soil their fingers and
garments when they deal in such garbage. If
candid and sincere their conceptions of ns must
be very paltry; but if this be a mere profession
al shot at a rival, their stock of missiles has be
come very low or their taste is questionable.
Whatever may be the case, let them be assured
that the Telegbaph will do its own selecting and
thinking wholly independent of their interfer
ence.
How Cobh Grows.—T. S. G. says in the New
England Homestead, there can be no perfect ker
nel formed except a particle of pollen or the dust
from the tassel meets the thread of silk which
belongs to that kernel—what is called the “silk”
are the pistills of the corn plant, as the tassels
are stamens. The development of the ear is
progressive. The lower part of the butt is
formed first, and this and the middle part grow
about the right time to be fructified by the pol
len falling from the tassel. The tip of the ear
shoots ont its silk early enough to be thus im
pregnated by the pollen from its own tassel.
This has become dry and wasted by rains and
winds. The sucker, tasseling later, is just
ready to shed its fresh pollen on these later
threads of silk pistils; thus the whole ear is
fertilized, and we have long ears on the main
stalks, and *'‘nubbins” only on the later stalks
or suokers.
A good anecdote is told- of Captain Temple,
of the United States steamer Tennessee. At
the attack on Fort Fisher his ship took'fire from
a shell in the room next to the magazine. One
of the little messenger tugboats was plying
aboat the ship, and finally coming along side,
Captain Temple hailed her. “Aye, aye, sir,”
said the tng captain. “We are on fire,” said
Temple, “next to our powder magazine, and I
thought it might possibly interest you to know
that we are likely to blow up in about three
minutes unless we get the fire under.” The
suddenness with which the tug captain rang
four bells, and the tug plunged away on a bee
line was laughable, in spite of the critical nature
of the' situation.
The Chinese have some notions that might
be advantageously adopted by Christians. The
way they celebrate their holidays is one of them.
The first thing they do is to pay off old debts
and square accounts to a fraction. Money mat
ters having been thus adjusted, they next make
up old quarrels, and shake hands all round.
Having thus got square pecuniarily and socially,
they eat, drink and are merry, finally winding
up with a sparkling discharge- of Chinese fire-'
oraekers. This paying of debts and the making
up ot quarrels is oertainly a good way to begin
celebration of holidays.
