«0h, I cannot go to walk, that dreadful

who were traveling in Florida. In the

FERTILIZERS.
V,V have grown older since these days
when onr country walks were so charm
in'—and wo may bo wiser—hut do the
farmers show nn increase of wisdom in
t-.is excessive use of patent fertilizers ?
it appears to me that half the crop gee;
it j’.,yment for them. A farmer r.mr
ji.-r.- undo ia>t year six tales of cotton
were taken to pay lor til; fertili-
nnd to with many others who were
disgusted and swore they would
bny no more; and yet this -year they

FINE FERTILIZERS
Tae las*, fertilizers are goal tools,

Why is it that we arc satisfied that the

THE HOMESTEAD LAW.
There has been much talk in town
d j.it Judge Warner’s decision on the
Ihiaeatead law, Rndon the letters of Mr.
IJ.-pcs and ex Governor Brown on the
.object. I believe that the general ver-
i ' u that the decision is right, and
■tit Mr. James* letter shows the clear
i j moss sense which characterizes every
■'■piaioa of hie. It is cerfainly perfectly
It',a* that the large homesteads were very
Idj-ctionabJe—not only as Mr. James
I 3 ??, think of men all over Georgia being
Iwerih from $1,000 to $5,000, "and yet
I without credit”—but think also of the
■many cases wbero the homestead
l.’.tasuuting to thousands was utterly un-
|»aiiab]e while the man was being ruin
'd for the want of a few hundreds. One
• ! the first cases ever brought up in
lAtlania was that of a man who had a
Tjotn-stead of an unimproved lot worth
liS.Ooo. a, wished to borrow $400—
p-.ding it for the absolute necessaries of

Marshallville, Ga , April 7, 187G
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Per
hap3 you would like to hear from this
part of the territory over which your
valuable paper circulates. If so I will
givo you an item or so. Oa the night of
the 6th inst., Mr. J. C. Slappy of this
county had his dwelling destroyed by
fire. Himself and family were sweetly
resting in the arms of Morpheus, when,
about 1 o’clock at night, he awojee to
witness his magnificent residence crumb
ling beneath the flimes. His youngest
child narrowly escaped by the effort of a
negro woman. His loss is $2,000 or
$2 500 besides hi9 dwelling, and no in
surance. The sympathiesof the commu
nit? are freeiy expressed in this sad loss.
Mr. Win. Martin, of Houston county,
relates the following: The birds th»
spring seem unusually troublesome and
destructive to the corn crop, and many
of onr planters have resorted to poison
ing, which we take occasion to say is
very wrong Mr. Mar - in, however, re
sorted to a different method, and collected
up the little freedmen on his place and
gave them two pieces of boards to slap
together to frighten the birds away.
Among tbo number sent out wa3 a little
negro girl. Walking over the field after
this little army of slippers had been out
for come time, he found the little negro
girl with a full grown “ mocking bird.”
II- askel her how she got it. She said
the bird was sitting in a tree near her
and she slapped the board to frighten it
away, and at onee the bird came to her
and she caught it. Mr. Martin took the
bird from ber and turned it loose, and it
flew rapidly away, some hnndred and
fifty yards. Tbo littio negro girl ran
after it, slapping the boards, and the bird
again returned to her and she caugnt it
the second time. Mr. Martin is a gentle
man of unquestioned veracity. Can you
explain this matter?
We are divided here on the Governor
ship. Many love Gen. Colquit because
he is a pure, Christian gentleman, and
was a good soldier. Many admire Col.
Hardeman; he has a peculiar gentle
manly bearing, and elegance of manner,
that none but the most v»Jgar fail to
appreciate. Many admire Judge Iteese,
b.-caushef hishigh, and dignified bearing,
and his unswerving fidtdity to principle
and noncr. Either would elegantly
adorn the executive mansion. But many
are opposed to any and all unless they,
are for economy, rigid and thorough

se. Ned B.
lie Wasn’t a Horse Jockey.
It was at the close of a fine, autumnal
afternoon, that a simple-looking traveler,
attired in a homespun suit of gray, and
wearing a broad-brimmed, Quaker-Ioob-
ing hat, drove np to the dcor of the
Spread Eagle Tavern, in the town of
B , State of M line, kept by Major E.
Spike, nnd ordered refreshments for him
self and horse. There was nothing par
ticular about the traveller, except his air
of simplicity; but his horso was a char
acter. The animal was at least thirty
years of age, and was as gaunt as Rosin-
ante, and would have been a dear bar
gain at fifteen dollars. The traveller ac
knowledged that he had been taken in
somewhat when he bought tho animal,
for he “wasn’t a horse jockey,” and
"didn’t know much about critters 1”
However, he added, “that if he had goad
inch in his trip east, [he was agent for a
Hartford Lifo Assurance Company,] ho
meant to pick up something handsome in
the way of horso flesh to take home with
him.” After communicating his name
and business and sun Iry other particu
lars, with a frankness whtcb, while it
atistied the curiosity, excited the con
tempt of Major Spike, the stranger,
whom we shall call Zebulon Smith, de
parted.
He had a business call to make on the
widow Stebbens, who lived about three
miles off, in a very old, unfinished, shin
gled house, of immense extent, in the
centre cf an unfenced lot, the c.;ief pro-
dnets of which were rocks, brambles,
and barberry bushes.
Keep much stock, Miss Stebbens ?”
said he, as, having transacted his busi
ness, he prepared to resume bis journey.
Why, no,” said she; "I’m a lone wo
man, and hain’t got no help; so I keep
only a cow and that ’ere colt. I wish I
could sell him, for I ain’t got nobody to
break him in properly."
Zsbulon looked at the colt. He was a
limpst-y, long-legged, shaggy animal,
with a*ewe-necb, drooping bead, and lit
tle. undecided tail, completely knotted
up with bnv3 ; hut then ho was only five
year? old.
"Heow’ll yeou trade, Miss Stebbens ?”
asked the agent. "I've mind to take
the critter, if you’ll trade oven, though I
don’t know the pints of a horse. I ain’t
horse jockey. "Heowever, you’re a lone
woman, and I wont to oblige you. You
hain’t got nobody to break the colt for
yon, and here’s my boss would suit you
to a T. He is a nice family hos3.”
** Heow old is he ? ” asked Mrs. Steb-
bins.
He’s ruin’ six years,” Eaid Zebulon,
and so he was.
He looks pretty well along.’’ said the
widow. "How much boot will you give
me ?”
Boot I” exclaimed Zebulon. "O, if
you talk about boot, I’m off. I ain’t no
borse jockey, but I know I'm flingin’ my
boss—good old hoss—away by tradin’
even. But genero-ity and consideration
for widders—specially good lookin’ ones
—was alters a failin’ in my family.”
I don’t know as I hod orter,” said the
widow, thoughtfully; "it Mr. Stebbins
was alive, you wouldn’t get the colt so
cheap, for he sot every thing by him.
He’s sot his pedigree down in tbo births,
deaths, and marriages, in oar family
Bible. He alters eaid, poor man, be
was goin’ to make a great hoss.”
"That 'cro was an optical delusion,”
said tho agent, “be warn’t never a goin’
to make a great hos3. I know so much,
if I ain’t a horso jock> y. Como now,
what say i Shall I ungear, and leave
my critter, or put on the string and be a
travellin’ ?”
“ You may have the colt,” said tho
widow, bursting into tears, and retiring,
unable to witness the consummation of
the sacrifice. •
“ Corps, young Burtail,” said Zebulon,
addressing the colt “ It’s time you was
sot to work. I don’t know whether you
ever had a collar over your darned ewe
neck or not. I don’t see how anything
short of a crooked-neck squash could
it; but I’ll try mine on.” And with
these words he harnessed np tho colt,
and leaving his old "boss” with tho
widow, drove oa his way rejoicing.
About fifteen miles further cast he
stopped and pnt np at a tavern, where
ho made an arrangement to leave the
colt for a week, hiring the landlord’s
horse to pursue his journey. Ho gave
directions to have tho colt fed high in
the interim, to havo his tail nicked and
put in pulleys, his head checked up, and
his coat carefully shaved according to
tho new practice. A very astute hostler
promised that e.verything should bo dono
according to hi3 directions, and to his
perfect satisfaction.
Accordingly, in a week’s time, when
Zebulon came back, he hardly knew his
bargain. Tee colt was fat as a hog.
His sides shone liko silver; hi3 mane
was neatly trimmed; hi3 tail was crimp
ed, and rose and fell in a graceful curve;
and he carried his head as proudly os an
Arabian.
With tho metamorphosed animal in tho
fills, the agent drove back to the Spread
Eaglo and put up for tho night. In the
morning he ordered his team and paid
his bill. Major Spike, who wa3 great on
horses, standing at the front door, was
struck with tho appearance of his guest’s
" cattle."
"Been buying a new horse?” said tho
major.
“Yts, I thought I’ll try one, though I
ain’t a horse jockey,” answered tho agent,
making an excuse to examine tho buck-
leB of his harness.
"Don’t wan’t to sell him, do you?”
said the major.
"Wy, no, major. I reckon not. I ex
pect he’ll smt me fust rate. I’m doin’
pooty well, now, and can afford to hev’
somethin’ nice. I calklate to keep him.”
“I don’t like his color,” said the
major.
“Well, I do.” said Zebnlon, getting in
to his wagon. "Good mornin’, major.”
"Hold on,” said tho major. "I’ve got
a boss I want to show you. Jake, bring
out the bay, r.nd let Mr. Smith have a
squint at him.”
The hostler brought out a square-built,
chunky, bay horse, in fine condition, and
looking like a capital roadster.
"What do you think of that hoss, Mr.
Smith?” asked the major, triumph
antly.
"Pretty fair hoss,” said the agent.
“But. I tell you I’m no judge of horses;
I ain't no horse jockey."
"Well, now, I tell you whit,” said the
major; "I’m a darned fool for doin’ of
it; but when I take a fancy, I don’t
mind expense to gratify it. I’m willing
to swap houses even with you.”
"Even!” screamed tho agent, “Now,
major, that’s a good one. I ain’t a
horse jockey. I don't knew tho value of
the critter; but I ain’t altogether a
reg’iar, soft-headed, now-nothing fcol,
and if I had a mind to part with this
'ere splendiferous animal, I should want
boot ”
“ You’re a hard one,” said the major;'
but as fur as twenty dollars ”
Twenty dollars! get out,” said the
agent indignantly. "G’lang Bob 1” and
he actually started his team.
“ Hold on 1” roared the major. " What
do yon want ?”
"Say forty, and I’ll do it—no, I won’t,”
said the agent.
“You said you would. It’s a bargain.
Yon said.forty, didn’t he. Jake ?”
Tho hostler could not deny it.
"Well, yon’re the hardest customer I
ever see 1” muttered the agent, as he got
out of the wagon. “This is the wu3t
morning’s work I ever did. Let me
havo your old bay end be a travelin’.
You’d hev’ a fellur’s eyo teeth afore he
icnowed it, if you wanted ’em.”
Tho maj»r chuckled as ho counted out
forty dollars and handed them to tho
agent. He eagerly assisted the hostler
to ungear tho coveted horse; and when
the bay was harnessed up, did not urge
the agent to stop, and the latter drove
off, looking as melancholy as if he bad
buried all of bis relations.
The major drove out with his new pur
chase that very day; but his perform
ance did not equal his expectations.
However, a3 an experienced horso jock
ey, he knew that great allowances aro to
bo made for a green horse, and he prom
ised to train him up to "2.50,” at the
least. _ But before one week had passed
over his head, hi3 expectations were all
dashed. There was no "go” in tho ani
mil. His nose dropped to tho ground,
his tail slunk, and his toes dug into the
gravel as if he was boring for water. The
major had to confess that he had been
completely taken in.
“That infernal rascal!” said he; “I
wish I could catch him here again.”
“ You ain’t very likely to,” remarked
Jake, tho hostler, dryly.
Why so? Do yon know anything
about him ? Did you ever see him be
fore ?”
Ever see him ! why, he came from
the same place that I did.”
“ Where’s that?”
“ Meredith B ldge.”
" Mereditn Bridge 1” exclaimed the
landlord. “And he said he wasn’t a
horse j. ckey. O, what an as3 I was.”
Very true,” said the hostler.
Anyhow, you never saw the horse
before ?” said tho landlord.
Never see the horso before 1” ex
claimed Jake. “ Wh /, Lord bless you, I
know’d him soonsever I tot eyes on him.
He's Miss Stebbins’ colt.”
And you never told me of this, you
scoundrel 1”
“I want a goin’ to spile a trade,” said
the hostler. “And then I’ve heard you
say so often th it nobody could take you
in on a boas, that I thought it warnt
no use.”
The cussed swindler 1” said tho ma
jor. “After havin’ shaved everybody ho
came across, ho went and shaved a boss,
and put him off on me—me, the greatest
hossman in the Stato of Maine. The
next chap from Meredith Bridge that
comes into these diggins, I’ll get a fight
out of an<l lick him, jest as sure as my
name's Elnatban Spike!”
Henderson’s Story ol Hi9 Dismissal.
Washmston Special to the Chicago Times.!
In reference to his dismissal by the
Attorney General, he was asked if he
knew any reason for that action. He
said: “No; I do not.” Have you ever
had any conversation with the Attorney
General on the subject?” “I have.”
Henderson said that, during a previous
visit to this city, he wa3 at the Arling
ton Hotel at breakfast one morning, two
day3 after his arrival, when a very polite
note came over from tbo Attorney Gen
eral asking him to call upon him at ten
o’clock. He called, and in that inter
view Pierrepont alluded to his dismissal
in a jocular way. Henderson said that
be waived the subject at once, as be did
not wish to have any discussion about it.
The Attorney General said to him:
“Let mo read to you what you said
before tho jury in that case; let
me read the language that caused your
dismissal.” Mr. Henderson replied:
“Great God! don’t read that to me.* I
make it a rule never to reau any of my
speeches after they are delivered.” The
Attorney General, however, insisted, and
read to him tho following quotation:
“What right had Grant to overrule the
order of the Secretary of tho Treasury ?”
“Well,” said Henderson, “what right
had ho ? Do yon think ho had any right,
Mr. Pierrepont ?” “No,” was the reply.
“Then you agreo with me?” “Yes; I
agree with vou in that, but you should
not have used tho word Grant.” “Oh,
well.” said Henderson, "wo Western peo
ple are plain people, and we use short
words. I suppose I should havo said, ‘his
excellency,’ or 'his royal highness.’”
“No,” said Mr. Pierrepont; “you should
havo said tho President, or President
Grant.” “Then,” eaid Henderson, “am I
to understand that this was all the rea
son for my di.missal?” “That was
enough,” said the Attorney General dry
ly, and the subjoct at once was changed.
Sr. Moody’s Sermon Last Sunday
on the VrncWxioa and Death of
Christ.
You will find my text this afternoon
in tho 53d chapter of Isaiah, 4th and 5th
verses : “ Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried onr sorrows ; yet we did e3-
teen him stricken, smitten of God and
afflicted. But he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was brnisod for enr
iniquities; the chastisement of our peace
was upon him, and with his stripes we
are healed."
Five times that littio word “our” is
u?ed—our torrows, our griefs, our in
iquities, our transgressions, and the chas
tisement of our oeacc—there is a substi-
a cross. I can imagine Him reeling and
staggering under it. Undoubtedly He
had lost so much blood tbr.t He was too
faint to carry it, and before they got to
tho place it well nigh crushed Him to
the earth. And then some stranger un
dertook to bear it along after Him.
can imagine the strong man carrying it
along, and the crowd hooting, “Away
with Him ; away with Him”—a pestilent
fellow, as they called Him. This was
only 9 o’clock in the morning. They
arrived at Calvary a little before nine.
They took np the Son of God and they
laid Him out upon that cross. I can
imagine them binding His wrists to the
arms of the cross. And after they
had got Him bound, up came
soldier with a hammer and nails and
tute for you I I would like, if E could, to
make that 53d chapter of Isaiah real. I j put one nail into the palm of His hand,
would like, if I could this afternoon, to an q then cama tho hammer without
nortuary.

The Admiration of the Ladles.
Both the cld • and yonng beaux desire
the admiration of ladies, and they resort
to many devices to secure it. The tailor,
the shoemaker and the hatter may, by his
arts, adorn their persons with the choicest
productions, bnt all their efforts will
prove inadequate if the hair, the greatest
ornament of all, is grizzled and grey.
The ladies exclaim, “What! love that
old grey.headed man? No! never.”
Bat there is a remedy for this difficulty.

bring before this congregation, or to
bring out this truth—what Christ has
suffered for each one of U3 Wo take up
the Bible, we read tho account of His
crucifixion and death, how Ho suffered in
agony, and wo go away, lay tho Bible
down and think nothing more about it.
I remember when the war was going on
I would read about a great battle hav
ing been fought, where probably 10,000
men had been killed and wounded, and
after reading tho article I would lay the
paper aside and forget all about it. At
last I went into the army myself; I saw
the dying men, I heard tho groans of tha
wounded, I helped comfort tho dying and
bury tho dead, I saw the scene in all its
terrible realities. After I had been on
the battlefield I could not read an ac
count of a battle without it making a
profound impression upon mo. I wish I
could bring before you in living colors'
the sufferings and death of Christ. I do
not believo tnero would be a dry eye
here. I want to speak of his physical
sufferings, for that I think we can get
hold of. No man knows all that Christ
suffered. Now, when a great man dies
we aro all anxious to get hi* last words,
and if it is a friend, how »e treasure up
that last word, how wo tell it to lus
friends, and wo never tiro talking to our
loved ones of how ho made his departure
from the world.
Now, let us visit Calvary; let us bring
the scene down to this present age; let
us bring it right down here into this
world this afternoon; or let ns go back
in our imagination to tho time of Christ’s
crucifixtion; let us imagine wo aro living
in the City of Jerusalem instead of Now
York; let us take just the last Thursday
He was there before Ho was crucified.
Let U3 just imagico we are walking up
one of tho streets of Jerusalem. You
see n small body of m-n walking down
the street; every one is running to see
what the excitement i3. As we get nearer
we seo that it is Jesu3 and His Apostles.
We just walk down the street with them
and we see them stop and enter a very
common-looking house. They go in and
wo enter also, and there we find Jesus
sitting with the Apostles. You can seo
sorrow depicted upon his brow. His dis
ciples 3<>o it, bnt do not know what has
caused His grief. Wo are told that He
was sorrowful unto death. As he was
sitting there, He said unto the twelve,
One of you shall this night betray me.”
Then each of them wondered if it was
him of whom tho master spoke, and they
said, “Is it I ?” Then Judas, the traitor,
said, “Is it I ?" Jesus said it was. Christ
said, ‘‘Judas, what thou doest do quick
ly.” Then Jesu3 got up and left tho
room. For three years he had been as
sociated with the Son of God. For three
years he had sat at tho feet of Jesus.
For threo years he had heard those words
of sympathy and love fall from His lips.
For threo years he has been one of tho
faithful twelve. He had seen him per
form His wonderful miracles. He cad
heard the parables as they fell from the
lip3 of Jesus For threo years he bad
been a member of that littio band. So
ho got up and went out into tho night,
tbo darkest night that this world ever
saw. He goes out of that guest cham
ber. You can hear him as he goes down
those steps, off into the darkness and
blackness of tbo night. Then he went
to the Sannedrim and ho said, “I will
make a bargain with you, I will sell Him
cheap ; and there he betrayed his mas
ter for thirty pieces of silver. That was
a small amount. Men condemn him, bnt
hjwmany are selling Him for less than
that ? How many will give Him up for
less than that? Tnere are men who
will sell him for a littio pleasure, and
women for two or three hours in a ball
room.
You can hear the money being counted.
He puts it into his pocket. He says,
“ Give me a band of ~en and I will take
yon where he is.” It was then that
Christ said tbo-o beautiful words. It
was on that night that he Eaid, “ Let not
your hearts be troubled. I go to pre
pare a place for you; and if I go to pre
pare a place for you, I will come again,
that where I am there may ye be also.”
Instead of the disciples trying to cheer
Him, Ho is trying to cheer them. He
takes Peter, Jamc3 and John off from the
rest, and then Ho withdraws from thorn
about a stone’s tnrow. Then He prayed
to tho Father. Ho that know no sin was
to bear all our sins. Hs who wa3 as
spotltss as the angels of heaven was to
suffer for us. From this lone spot His
e*rnest prayers ascended to heaven.
And while He is praying the apostles fall
asleep, for their eyeB are heavy. Peter,
James and John were heavy with sleep.
When He gets up from prayer He looks
into the distance. He sees tho men wno
are hunting for Him. They aro locking
around through tho olive trees for some
one. He well knows who they are look
ing for. Ho went up to this band of
men and said, “Whom seek ye?” And
they said, “ We seek Jesua of Nazareth.”
“ Well,” said Jeans, “ I am He.” There
was something about that reply that
terrified those men. They trembled and
fell to tho ground. Then at last Judas
camo up, and I don’t know bnt ho puts
nis arms around His neck and kissed
Him. When Judas had kissed Christ,
tho soldiers seized Him, for Judas had
told the soldiers that when they saw
him kiss a man that was Him. Those
hands that had wrought so many won
derful miracles, thoso hands that had
often been raised to Mess tho disciples,
were hound. Then Peter takes his sword
and cuts off the high priest's ear. But
Jesus healed the wound at onco. Ho
would cot let tn« soldier suffer.
Ob, until I came to read all about
what Christ suffered, I never before
realized what Ho had done for us. I
never knew until I camo to read all
about too Roman custom of scourging
what it meant by Chiiat b ;ing scourged
for me. When I first read abont that I
threw myself on the floor and wept, and
asked Him to forgive me for not having
loved Him more. Let us imagine the
scene where ha is taken by the Roman
soldiers to be scourged. The orders wore
to pnt 40 stripe?, one after another, upon
bis bared back. Sometimes it took 15
minute?, and the man died in the process
of being scourged. Seo Him stooping
while the sms of tho world are laid upon
Him, and tho whips came down upon
His bare back, cutting clear through tho
skin and flesh to tho bone. And, after
they bad scourged Him, instead of bring
ing oil and pouring it into tho wounds,
He who came to bind up tho broken
heart and pour oil into its wounds—in
stead of doing this they dressed Him up
again, and some cruel wretch reached oat
to him a crown of thorns, whicu was
placed upon His brow. Tho Queen of
England wears a crown of gold, filled
with diamonds and precioua stones, worth
$20,000,000; but when they came to
crown jthe Prince of Heaven, they gave
Him a’crown of thorns and placed them
upon his brow, and in His band they pnt
a stick for a scepter.
THE AGOXY OS CALVARY.
Now you might havo seen at one of
tho gates of tho city a great crowd burst
ing through. What is coming? There
are two thieves being brought for execu
tion. Between the two thieves is tho
Son of God, walking through the streets
of Jerusalem. And ho carried a cross.
Yon ladies wear small crosses made of
gold and wood and stone around your
necks; bat tho cross that the Son of God
carried was a rude, heavy tree, made into
mercy, driving it down through the bono
and flesh and into the wood; and then
into tho othor hand. And then they
brought a long nail for His feet; and
then the soldiers gathered round tho cross
and lifted it up, and the whole weight of
the Son of God came upon those nails in
his hands and fee'. O, you young ladies,
who say yon seo no beauty in Christ that
you should desire to be like Him, come
with me and t ike a look at those wounds,
and remember that that crown of thorns
was laid upon bis brow by a mocking
world. Look at Him ae he hangs there,
and at tho people who pass by deriding
Him. There aro the two thieves that
reviled Him, and the one that said, “Save
ns and eave Thyself if Thou beest the
Sen of God.” But hark 1 At last there
comes a cry from the cross. What is it ?
Is it a cry to the Lord to take Him down
from the cross ? No 1 It is “Father, for
give them, for they know not what they
do.” Was there ever such love as that?
While they were crucifying Him He was
liftidg His heart to God in prayer. His
heart seemed to be breaking for those
sinners. How He wanted to take them
in His arms 1 How He wanted to forgive
them! At last He cried, "I thirst;” and
instead of giving Him a draught of water
from tho spring, they gave Him a draught
of gall mixed with vinegar. There He
hung! You can see those soldiers casting
lots for His garments as they crowd
around tho foot of tho cross. While they
were casting lots the crowd would mock
and deride Him and make all manner of
sport of Him. He cried only, “Father
forgive them, for they know not what
they do.”
Right in the midst of the darkness
and gloom there came a voice from one
of those thieves It flashed into bis
soul os ho hung there, “This must be
more than man; this must be the true
Messiah!” H» cried out, “Lord, remem
ber mo when Thou comest into Thy
Kingdom!” We aro anxious to get the
last word or act of our dying friends.
Hero was the last act of Jesus.
He snatched the thief from the
jaws of death, saying, "This day
shalt thou be with mo in Paradise.” And
again He spoke. What was it? “It is
finished,” was His cry. Salvation was
wrought out, atonement was made. H>s
blood had been shed; His life had been
given. Undoubtedly, if wo had been
there, we would have seen legions of
devils hovering around the cross. And
so the dark elands of death and hell came
surging np against the bosom of the Son
of God, and He drove them back, as you
have seen the waves come gathering up
and surging against the rock, and then
receding and then returning. Tho bil
lows were over Him. Ho was conquering
death and Satan and the world m thoso
last moments. He wa3 treading the wine
press alone. At last He shouted from
tho cross, “It is finished.” Perhaps no
one who heard it knew what it meant.
But the angeh in Heaven knew; and I
can imagine tho bells of heaven (if they
do have bells there) ringing oat nnd the
angels singing, “Tho God-man is dead,
and full restitution has opened the way
bask into Paradise, and all man has to do
is to look and live.” After he cried, “It
is finished,” He bowed His head, com
mended his spirit to God, and gave up the
ghost. Do you tell me you see no reason
why you should love such a Savior?
Would you rather be His enemy than His
friend ? Have you no desire to receive
Him and become His ? May God soften
all our hard hearts to-day.

Indignation Meeting—The Cblnc.se
Preparing to Defend Tbemselves,
San Francisco, April G.—The anti-
Chinese meeting at Union Hall and tne
street in front, was attended by at least
10,000 people. Gov. Irwin presided in
the hall. Resolutions were adopted set
ting forth the evils flowing from Chinese
immigration, uraiog that local measures
of relief had been exhausted; that tbo
only resource remaining was an appeal
to tho treaty making powers, and that a
delegation bo sent to Washington to pre
sent the question in full and urge imme
diate action. The meeting was addressed
by a number of prominent gentlemen
counseling moderate and conservative
action, enjoining full protection of the
Cbineso now in tho country, and depre
cating earnestly any violent proceedings.
Tho meeting was quiet and orderly, and
evidently in harmony with the views ad
vanced by the speakers. Ample prepara
tion had been made to suppress any riot
ous proceeding?, by a cordon of police
drawn np around Chinatown, and its
inhabitants were counselled by their
leaders to remain in their own quarters.
Great alarm had existed among them,
and extetsivo purchases of weapons had
been made by thorn in anticipation of
trouble, but tho city was perfectly quiet
throughout tho evening.

Georgia has just reason to he proud of
her noble band of professors and in
structors of youth, and none are more
useful or deserving of praise.
We trust the meeting of tho Associa
tion will be largely attended, and result
in great good.
Shocking Ignorance and Superstition
While we are laboring with praise
worthy diligence to send the gospel to
the uttermost parts of the earth, and
isles of the sea, few are aware of the
amount of sickening ignorance which ex
ists at our own doors. Wo are led to
this remark by tho appearance in this
office, on Friday, of an elderly hard fa
vored man, but with an open, honest
countenance, who lives in the country.
He is able to read, and when presented
with a paper gratuitously, said: “Now,
mister, I know something that you can
print if you are a mind to, that will do
the world lots of good.”
Upon inquiring what it was, he re
plied, “the way to cure burns, other ail
ments in people and the grub3 in horses.”
Well, what is it ?
“I will tell you,” he said.
"If anybody gits burnt, it don't mind
how bad, jist say this over him: •
I havo two angels in the world ;
One is fire, tho other frost;
Coran out fir* fro in frost.
In the name of Father, Son and Hoi; Ghost.
“That is bound to cure him. It reliev
ed my grandchild and a woman who was
bnrnt all over, and never did fail. Lots
of people can prove it.
It will euro horses of grub3 too, cause
I have tried it. •
When the horse is troubled with them
varmints, jist chaDge one lino and say,
come out, grubs, go in health,’ and it
will be all right.”
The poor creature could not bo shaken
in his belief of this, nor made to under
stand that it wa3 nothing but blasphe
mous superstition and besotted igno
rance on his part, and ro we let him
alone. He is a native of Twiggs county,
Georgia, aad wo have his name.
Here is a chance for the home mis
sionary.
Horse Thief Caught.
A negro appeared in East Macon yes
terday, riding a good light bay horse,
which he offered for sale. The animal js
worth more than a hundred dollars easily,
and the negro offered him for the small
sum of twenty dollars. Whilo he was
endeavoring to negotiate a sale. Justice
Dan. H. Adams camo up and told the
negro that he was asking entirely too
high for the horse, and finally succeeded
in Jewing him down to fifteen dollars, at
which price he agreed to tako the horse,
and also took the negro and placed him
in the hands of a couple of constables,
who saw him safely lodged in jail.
The prisoner is a coal black fellow,
about 21 years of age. His name is
Henry Johnson alias Henry Fraley. Ac
cording to his own account he is from
Baldwin county, where ho worked last
year for Mr. Vino3 Fraley. It is proba
ble that he stole tho horse over in Bald
win. Jndge Adams has the horso in
charge and will hold the negro until
Baldwin has been heard from.

Major of Engineers, in service of Khedive of

fected with chronic nervous dyapeDsiato such
an extent that my health was much impaired.
So rapid was the advance of this insidious com
plaint that I soon felt that my constitution was
broken. After suffering lor several years, I was
advised to try Simmons’ Liver Regulator, but
declined, because I had conceived it to be “only
patent medicine.’’ At length, believing it sould
do no barm, I yielded. In a few months I be
came not only relieved, but absolutely cured,
and for two years past I have been thoroughly
restored to health and the enjoyment of life. I
look upon tho “Regulator” as a most excellent
medicine, and will always have it by me to re

A Contrary Mule.
A farmer in this county, says a North
Carolina paper, has a male so contrary
that he can do nothing with it. Put him
in harness and it 13 hard to say which
way he will travel. Put a saddle on him
and he appears to doze, but try to mount
him and he will all of a sudden begin to
kick every way—straight out, straddle-
bug, with all four legs at once. As to
eating, ho will eat anything, from his
feed trough up to a wooden saddle. The
owner took a notion to have him shod;
he kicked out the blacksmith shop and
returned borne. Tiie owner tried to kill
him, some time back, eo he tied bis cars
with a trace chain and rode him for six
consecutiva days and nigbt3 as hard as
he could under whip and spur. The
fact is, that he nearly killed himself in
tho c-ffort, and had to be carried upstairs
to bed, and his firm belief was that the
mule would die that nicht; but, to his
astonishment, the next morning he fonnd
that the mule bad kicked to death a
Chester sow weighing 300 pound?, bit a
piece out of his borce’3 shoulder, ate up
a saddle, blanket and bridle, tore down
the fence, and was splurging abont,
more devilish than ever, to find some
thing else meaner to do.
Scrlptual.
“Simmons* Liver Regulator is certainly a
specific for that class of complaints which
it claims to care. Of its beneficial effects
we do know something; and, from per
sonal experiments, it is our opinion that
its virtues have not been exaggerated by
the many flattering notices of tho press.
If any of our fellow being3 aro suffering
from hepatic disorders, and have doubts
in relation to the efficacy of this popular
preparation, we can only offer them the
simple and candid argument of Philip to
Nathaniel, ‘Come and see.’ Try the pro
posed remedy, and then you can judge
for yourselves.

A Dad Time for tiie Lobby.
Washington Capital.!
Itpain3 U3 to write it—for we have
rather a liking fc-r the body—the lobby
this session is rather in a bad way. We
may say, without exaggeration, that the
lobby is in a very bad way. Leaders in
the lobby who were wont to have their
rooms and little suppers and sideboards,
are now living in attics, boarding at cheap
boarding-houses, and living cn hash.
Said one to ns tho other day, ‘‘This
damned miserable, pusillanimous House
of Bopresontativea is not fit to live. Do
yon know that after I had taken a look
at them from the gallery, and saw what
a mean, God-forsaken lot they are, I left
"Welcker’s, took lodgings in a cheap
hash-house, purchased a bottle of Jayne’s
Expectorant, and black my own boots.”
It is proposed that tho lobby should be
incorporated and given nn interest in
Billy McGarrahan’s Fanocbe quicksilver
mine. As Billy has lived for the last
twenty years in a mysterious bnt com
fortable manner on that claim, it is
thought that tho lobby may flourish in
that way also.
