fi —The finest set of sable furs in Europe
is in possession of a lady in England.
This set used to belong to the late Em
press of Russia, mother of the present
Czar, and there is some little talk about
them.
Professor Proctor says that he finds
the interest In scientific matters much
more widely spread in-America than in
England, more people attending lectures
here and reading and thinking intelli
gently upon these subjects.
—The Washington Post says that “at
a meeting of the prominent friends of
Mr. Tilden, which was held in New
York last Saturday, the declaration was
made by that gentleman ftat he would
without- doubt be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination.”
—The St. Gothard Tunnel, the boring
of which has just been completed, will not
be equipped with rails before August,
when it will be opened for traffic. It is to
be lighted with gas, like the Mont Cepis
Tunnel. As straight as an arrow, it will
ventilate itself by a strong current of air
passing from one extremity to the other.
Progress ok the Southern Pacific
Railroad.-—Dispatches from the end of
the track in Arizona state that the aver
age progress of the Southern Pacific Rail
road for twenty-five working days past has
been 10,000 feet, or nearly two miles per
day. The road is now 059 miles east of
San Francisco, and will reach Tucson in
a few deys.

Prince Bismarck further relief from his
arduous duties, Court Yon Stolberg
Wemigerode, at present vice-president of
the Council of Ministers, is about to be

—Tbe collector of customs at Mobile has
been injudicious enough to let it be known
that he favors the nomination of Grant.
As was to be expected, he has received a
polite request from Secretary Sherman to
resign the collectorship. He refuses to do
this, but says the administration may re
move him if it pleases.
—The three propositions which Mr.
Tilden submitted to the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee and which were voted
down by a large majority, were, that St.
Louis should be the place of meeting,
that the fraud issue should be the issue of
1880, that a sub-committee should be ap

in New York.
—Eight men were passing on foot
through a narrow, deep canon in Nevada,
when they saw an immense bank of snow
detach itself from the precipitous *«de

Three of them escaped injury by running,
two took refuge behind stumps, and were
subsequently rescued alive, and three were
killed by burial under tons of snow. The
depth of the snow on the Pacific coast is
uncommonly great this season, and many
lives have been lost in avalanches.

—A malarial fever of a very malignant
type has broken out among the denizens
of Little Six-mile, in Henry county, Ky.,
which has so far baffled the skill of all the
attending physicians, and has been fatal
in every instance.
The Buffalo Express is inclined to be
facetious at the expense of the Gate City
of Georgia. It says: ‘'The advent of a
Chinaman at Atlanta, Ga., is remarked
upon as an encouraging sign of civiliza
tion. It shows that the leading citizens
of Atlanta have taken to wearing linen.”
A small boy, boasting of his fathei s
accomplishments, said: “My father can
do almost anything; he’s a notary public,
and he’s an apothecary, and can mend
teeth, and he is a doctor, and can mend
wagons and things, and play the fiddle,
he’s a jackass at all trades.”
—The Christian Advocate, of Rich
mond, Va., says Dr. Bennett, of Randolph
Macon College, on his trip North called to
see Colonel Thomas A. Scott, the great
railroad magnate, of Philadelphia. The
Colonel saw at a glance that the Doctor
represented a worthy institution and gave
him a check for $2,000.
—At dinner she had u doctor at either
hand, one of whom remarked that they
were well served, since they had a duck
between them. “Yes,” she broke in—her
wit is of the sort that comes in flashes—
“and I am between two quacks.” Then si
lence fell.
—The Cincinnati Commercial’s por
trait artist had a dream the other night,
and saw a long procession of victims,

—Edith and Mabel had just put their
dollies in their little crib when Edith,
with the expression of one who has had
a great weight lifted from her shoulders,
said, “There! I’m thankful we’ve got the
children to bed! We shall have a little
peace now!” Where in the world did she
get such a ridiculous notion?
—An unexpected pleasure. Beloved but
unresponsive fair one—“so glad to see
you, cousin Charley, and so kind of you
to drop in! Now, you’ll sit a couple of
hours with grandmamma, wont you? just
to amuse her while Arthur and I take a
stroll in the garden. And be careful to
speak as loud as you can, for she’s very,
very’ deaf, poor dear!”
—The Rev. Mr. Beecher says he be
lieves that there should be taxes on
churches and on ministers; on everything
but State institutions. He could proba
bly afford to pay a little taxes out of his
$20,000 salary, and his very rich Brooklyn
congregation might spare a few dollars
for the support, of the State as well as for
the pomps of a fashionable church.
Virginia’s State Debt.—The Gov
ernor has vetoed the Rfddleberger bill.
He says the title of the act—“To Re-es

—Virginia has become thoroughly sat
isfied with her trial of the Hoflel bell
punch, and decides that as a means of
raising a revenue it is not a success. It
has been in operation in the State for
nearly four years, and has during that en
tire period been a source of constant an
noyance to the authorities as wcil as the
liquor dealers. The treasniy receipts
from this source have steadily decreased,
and at last it has been determined
to go back to the old license law.
Texas, we believe, is the only State that
adheres to the bell punch, and even there
it is vigorously fought. Its opponents
claim that it is unconstitutional, and this
claim is now before the Supreme Court of
the State for decision.
—The bells of St. Mark’s Church, Phil
adelphia, were silenced by an injunction
obtained by annoyed neighbors, and the
Court of Appeals sustained the order. The

his hat band and stood up straight when
the little conductor came along. Bliss
could not reach the ticket, even by stand

judge in Paris who, at the moment of
passing sentence ou a prisoner, consults
his assessors on each side of him as to the

right. “I should say three years.
“What is your opinion brother?” to the
assessor on the left. “I should give him
about four years.” The judge, with be

—The Empress of Austria, now on a
visit to Ireland, is said to be the hardest
rider of this generation. She can keep
longer in the saddle than a war corres
pondent like McGahan, and in riding to
hound outstrips and wears out even the
famous “Blazer” pack of Galway. It is
said that her Majesty spends about three-
fourths of her time in the saddle, and
leads the hunt at such a break-neck pace
that surgeons and coroners are always on
the qui the in the countries through
which she gallops. She has a surgeon to
go out with her to look alter the members
of her retinue who attempt to follow her
over gates, post-and-rail fences, hedges,
stone walls and ditches, and some of
whom are sure to be laid up for repairs
two or three times a week, so that opodel
doc and arnica are in steady demand. Her
Majesty has had some heavy tumbles her
self, but broke no bones as yet, though
she has crippled up several horses. The
ambitious Irish ladies who have tried to
keep up with the Empress have not been
so fortunate.

State Bights and Patience. | Troubles in California.
There is no plain truth in politics peo- I The disarming of the San Francisco mi-
ple are so slow to learn and to appreciate . litia and concentration of a’ large body of
as this: that just in proportion as a coun-; United States troops at that point, indicate
try is free, must it be patient and toler
ant. The forces at work being chiefly
moral, are slow, however powerful at last,
must have time and forbearance. Every
attempt to supplement them by the shille-
lah or the bayonet is inconsistent and
suicidal. The Northern brethren, if we
believe them, are so impatient to have
things right, that a third term and a
strong and virtually non-electoral execu
tive have become indispensable to their
programme. Every man , who will not
“holler on their side” must be knocked
over. This notion they are apparently
interweaving into the law. Last week
we had one Supreme Court decision af
firming the right and duty of the Federal
Government to regulate the formation of
juries in the State courts. This week we
have another affirming the right and duty
to supervise and regulate elections. The-
yearly and constant drift is to push the
States, which are the constituent elements
of the Union—off the political board en
tirely.
The general conclusion is, and it seems
to be rational enough—that the States,
like the Chinese, must “go”—that before
long they will cease to be considered as ef
ficient agents in our system of government,
and we sink very soon into centralized
imperialism and autocracy, which al
though it may still wear the name of a
republic, will be substantially as absolute
as that of Russia herself. For it is a fact
that in the United States, nothing is now
so odious as personal opinion unless it
happens to chime in with that of the ma
jority. It is a great misfortune to any
man to form his ideas independently, If
he can’t keep in the current, or very near
It. *
But we shall make a grand mistake if
we conclude that becatye opinion now
drifts strongly against the State govern
ments, it is always goiDg to do so, and
finally sink them out of sight in a great
maelstrom of centralism. That it is not
going to do. The immediate cause of
this strong drift to centralism is readily
understood. The civil war, as now un
derstood, was an array of'States against
the Union, ending in the total defeat of
the former; and inflicting the most serious
misfortunes upon all the people. From un
der the calamities of that struggle,we still
groan, and even now, it is the shadow of
State authority still left which, in the con
ception of the majority of States, now
erects itself against a thousand and one
changes they want to introduce to perfect
their system of free government, under
which every man in the country shall be
compelled to think and vote just like every
other man in the countiy, or have his head
knocked off as a useless piece of furniture.
They cannot tolerate any thing in the
system which savors of the right of private
judgment and the equality and independ
ence of the States, especially this thing of
Senatorial equality, when, in fact, no
more Senators are required than what
New York, Pennsylvania and Massachu
setts could easily send, the remainder be
ing for the most part poor and ignorant
obstructionists, who do nothing but mis
chief.
But, in the nature of things, this idea
of a centralized government is impractica
ble. The necessary legislation and police
of the system must be done by the States,
for the General Government can’t do it.
Every day the demands upon that govern
ment increase, and every day its relative
capacity diminishes. The great elemen
tary duties of government must of neces
sity be performed by the States, or left
undone. Public opinion, which sets so
strongly against the States now, under the
passions and prejudices of the war, will,
in ten years, set as strongly the other way
under the necessities of government, and
the horror of neglect or arbitraiy Federal
interference. In a word, we must have
patience, and give reason and experience
time to fight sectional* hates and jealous
ies. "We must give toleration' to heresy,
assured that the more wrong-headed it
may be, the quicker will it display its
character.
In the times of Cromwell and the Eng
lish Commonwealth, if anything appeared
to be certain, it was that what the Eng
lish call their constitution—that great un
written law of usage and precedent—was
gone forever—substituted by the arbitrary
will of one man. Parliament was kicked
out of the legislative halls and ceased to
exist. An* executive order was the su
preme authority. The nation had revolt
ed from the ‘tyranny of the Stuarts to find
itseli the unresisting subjects bf an abso
lute dictator.
But all this time, in the providence of
God, England wa3 working ’out a great
system of representative government more
perfectly responsive to the public will
than our own. And we may be sure that
the people of America—however waiped
and misled for the past fifteen years by
passion and prejudice—will not lose sight
of the muniments of civil liberty. ."We
cannot long ignore any. of those great
checks which balance our system without
the occurrence of some mischief which
will punish the men guilty of it. In the
rapid mutation of parties, the men who
shout to-day over a strong Grant to break
Southern heads will soon get a crack over
the crown themselves.
a growing solicitude on the question of
maintaining peace there. The trouble
finds its occasion in an attempt to enforce
the ’anti-Chinese provisions of the new.
Constitution. One Parott, President of a
Quicksilver Mining Company, has been
arrested for non-compliance with the law
passed in conformity with that Constitu
tion, forbidding the employment of Chi
nese labor, and has made his appeal to
the United States Courts, on the ground
that the law, being in conflict with tfie
Burlingame treaty with China, is neces
sarily void. There is no question that the
United States Courts must so decide. That
point has already been affiimed by the
United States District Court of Oregon.

Let Congress Adjourn.
When the present Congress met, it was
believed by all that the condition of the
appropriation bills which had been argued
at such great length during the protracted
Impending judicial conflict has aroused extra session; and were in such an ad-
intense excitement among the Sand Lot
population, who have been full of tlireais
and preparations for a fight. These men
aces, on the other, have stirred up the re
spectable portion of the people, and they
have responded to the threats of the Kear-
neyites, by warning them, distinctly, that
if they do attempt to idol ate the peace
they shall rue ft,
But, meantime, there are two classes
who see no great promise of quiet and
prosperity in the situation. Large num
bers* of capitalists, entirely distrustful of
the safety of their property under that
constitution and a Hoodlum rule, are
transferring themselves and their money
to the*Atlantic shore. A good many of
the Chinamen are taking the same course
They see that even if the laws are annull
ed, a violent popular animosity remains
which will be fatal to peace and personal
security. Consequently nothing but pov
erty impedes a rapid movement towards
the interior of the continent. Several
hundreds of Chinese from San Francisco
have reached New.York or vicinity, with
in the past few weeks.
Unless the Hoodlums, therefore, push
matters with great violence and bring
upon themselves the power of the United
States government while they stir up a.
profound and sweeping reaction" in the
State, they will force an exodus of the
Chinese at last, by a system of untiring
persecution which makes life there intol
erable, so that the Chmamen wiil ‘ leave
as fast as they can get the means of •travel.
The laws may be annulled—the courts,
extend all the protection they can—even
the reputable citizens may take the part of
the Chinese in the controversy; but it will
be all in vain if the Keameyites and
Hoodlums persist in an inexorable war.
They will wear out the Chinese in spite pf
all, for they alone will be tireless in their
inflictions on .these defenseless people.
Rev. Mr. Ayers Contradicts Himself.
The reverend gentleman above named,
who hails from Bridgeport, recently pub
lished a statement to the effect that two
nights before the second battle of Bull
Rnn, he saw General Fitz John Porter in
conversation with two Confederate Gen
erals, one of whom was General Robert
E. Lee.. Ayers says Porter told him to
say nothing about it, at the peril of his
life. But, unfortunately, for the veracity
of the parson, Mr. C. M. Russell; of New
Haven, on the first of March, published a
statement that seven years ago he heard
Ayers repeat the same story, with this dif
ference, that it was General McDowell
whom he caught in conference with the
Confederate leaders, and net Porter, The
old story goes that he saw McDowell sig
nal the rebels with his handkerchief dur
ing the battle. The parson’s present sto
ry is certainly open to doubt. .
.Georgia Yellow Pine and Enterprise
to the Pore.
A business firm in Bainbridge has been
awarded a heavy contract for furnishing
all tbe yellow pine and white oak lumber
required to complete that Immense struc
ture, the New York and Brooklyn bridge,
which spans the East River. This will
doubtless prove a fat job, besides afford
ing a first-class advertisement for Georgia
lumber.
The Sale of the Western and Atlan-
. tic Railroad.
The Thomasville Times, in an article
upon the late sale of the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad, makes this re
mark:
It occurs to us, that in consideration of
the great railroad boons, it would be a
good time far the State to dispose of the
Western and Atlantic, subject of course to
the lease. The sale of that road would
very nearly, if indeed it did not entirely,
pay the entire State debt. Let the State
quit running railroads. They are, too of
ten, mere political machines.
We entirely agree with our worthy con
temporary. If the road could be sold and
thus removed from the arena of politics, it
will be a blessing to the State.
Its entire history up to the period of the
lease, has l ten a series of blunders and
mismanagement, with the single exception
of a portion of Governor Brown’s admin
istration. It has become axiomatic that
no work of internal improvement should be
constructed and owned by either State or
General government. What is “every
body’s business is -nobody’s,” seems to be
verified in almost every instance, and it has
come to be regarded,to a lamentable extent;
that it is perfectly fair to get all that is possi
ble out of the government. This was never
more forcibly demonstrated* than in
the building of this identical road.
The writer remembers listening to
lecture on political economy from Prof.
\ Chas. F. McCay, in the State tlniversi-
ty, in which he took the ground laid down
above, that no State should embark in
internal improvements, and illustatedhis
argument by the instance of the Western
and Atlantic railroad, then in process of
construction. Said the Professor, the
surveyors and contractors, for the benefit
of their own pockets, crossed the Chica-
mauga creek seventeen times, necessitat
ing as many bridges, bored through Tun-
nell Hill at heavy expense, when a short
detour might have flanked that eminence,
and, to crown their folly and almost
double the cost to the State, graded the
road through an unbroken wilderness for
a double track, which, even to this day,
has never been needed. Let tho road be sold
then,by all meads,and the proceeds devoted
to the relief of the liquidation of the State
debt. If practicable, we should much prefer,
however, to seo it disposed of to a Georgia
company. But it is impossible, in the
long run, to control the ownership of any
property. Capital is the open .sesame to
everything that has value, and can always
assert its domination in one way or an
other. The present lessee? have managed
the State road with great success, and that
property is now in magnificent condition.
Better lease again if its full value cannot
be obtained, though, ceteris paribus, a sale
ia much the more preferable of the two.

Thd Attempted Repudiation in Vir
ginia- .*
The Riddleberger bill, which, with the
aid of the negroes and Readjusters, passed
both branches of the Virginia Legislature,
was perhaps the most bare-faced attempt
at wholesale robbery ever known in the
histoiy of the United States. It abso
lutely repudiated forty-seven per cent, of
the consol debt, and a lesser amount of the
other just obligations of the State. The
total liabilities of that grand old common
wealth,.: “the mother of States,” were
scaled fully thirty-three per cent, ahd that
in the face of solemn previous deliver
ances by the representatives of the people.
For the honor of Virginia, it should be
known that the great bulk of the Democ
racy and conservative element of the coun
tiy, including nine-tenths of the property
owners, bitterly opposed the disgraceful
measure. It was the non-tax paying ne
groes, Radicals, demagogues, disappointed
politicians, and the lowest and basest ele
ments of the community, that marshalled
tbtir forces and achieved this disgraceful
victory, which the Dispatch justly char
acterizes “a great defeat.” As the bill
contained no provision referring the mat
ter back to the people for their approval
or rejection, the same paper remarks that
while they were at the grabbing business,
it might have been just as well to make a
The Northeastern Railroad and Ma
con and Brunswick.
The Athens Banner does not believe
that the company who have bought the
Macou and Brunswick Railroad can be
compelled to extend it to Atlanta,
says:
This is all gammon, and must so strike
eveiy intelligent and reasoning mind,
What right had the Legislature to pass t
bill authorizing the sale of this road, con
ditioned upon its being built or extended
to Atlanta? This‘would have been
species of class legislation unbecoming tl
General Assembly, and which the courts
of justice would not likely sustain. Fur
thermore, it is hardly reasonable to sup
pose that any company would have pur
chased the road, thus trammelled in its
future extensions and operations. If the
new company extend - their road to any
point on the Georgia Railroad between
Atlanta and Union Point,, it would be
virtually connecting the road with Atlanta ;
unless inhibited by the Georgia Road, a
result not rationally to be expected or
likely to obtain.
Our contemporary then puts in the fol
lowing reminder for his own road and sec
tion:. ^ .
Should such point of intersection be se
lected with a view of connecting with the
Northeastern Railroad, then the Macon
and Brunswick road would secure a
double advantage in its connections via
Athens and Atlanta. Let these facts and
these advantages be promptly and proper
ly presented to the purchasers of the Ma
con and Brunswick road, and we confi
dently believe they will see it to their
great benefit to connect with the North
eastern Railroad, and extend their road
accordingly.
1 That the Macon and Brunswick Rail
toad must, under the terms of the s tie, be
made to connect with Atlanta, does not,
we think, admit of any doubt. It can be
done, however, under the act, either di
rect or via some point on the Georgia
Railroad. The Banner has a perfect right
to name its favorite point and advocate the
Northeastern connection. It is a free fight,

Vegetable Gardens.
As compared with a few years ago, the
cultivation of garden vegetables has made
great progress; but as compared with
what we might and ought to do; there is
immense room. for improvement. How
few farmers have any vegetable garden
that Reserves the name." A few rows oi
spindling blue collards, a patch as large
as a good-sized counterpane of soft, waxy
Irish potatoes, .a dozen or two sickly
onions, and, perhaps, in rare instances, a
row or two oi English peas and bunch
beans constitute the entire stock of vege
tables on most farms. We venture to
say, "without fear of successful contradic
tion, that not one in a hundred farmers in
Georgia raises asparagus, celery, cauli
flower, carrots, parsnips, spinach, salsify,
egg-plants, okra, and other vegetables of
easy and inexpensive culture, lor
himself and family. Not one
in a thousand makes vegetable raising an
industry. While with our advantages of
climate and present facilities of transpor
tation, we might supply the Northern
market with vegetables for weeks before
the frosts and snows enable them to sup
ply themselves, we buy most of the Irish
potatoes and almost all the onions we
consume, from'New England, and that to
face of the established fact that we can
raise two crops of the finest potatoes every
year, and that we can make good onions
from the seed in one -season. Whoever
sees a head of Southern raised cauliflow
er or bleached celery at a fanner's table ?
It is not so very long ago that a hardhead
cabbage was equally rare.
Health, economy, profit—all urge us to
raise vegetables - to supply the home de
mand and for export. “But,” say the
farmers, “we have not time. We are too
busy in the spring preparing to plant cot
ton to attend to vegetables. It is too
small a business.” And yet we venture
to state that in the veiy rare instances
where a vegetable garden is cultivated,
the laud employed for the purpose pays
four-fold more in actual profit, sayto]
nothing of. improved health, increase
comfort and enjoyment, than the same
amount of land iu cotton.
Com Planting. .
While one might reasonably suppose
that practice ought long since to have
taught the best mode of preparation, plant
ing and cultivation of the corn crop, the
fact is, that no crop is subjected to more
neglect, none left more to chance and
the accidents of seasons. Inquiry, if
made at all, is directed to dlscovor the
shortest and easiest rather than the best
mode of preparation and culture.
Success to the production of corn is not
attainable without deep, close breaking of
tbe soil before planting, leaving a deep,
mellow, well pulverized bed, into which
the warming rays of the sun, the atmos
pheric gases and the rains and dews may
penetrate, and in which the young roots
may spread easily and early in quest of
nourishment. The character of .the soil
and other circumstances must determine
the time to break it, the sort of plow to
use and the depth to which it should be
broken, but under all circumstances, deep
thorough preparation is essentially neees-
sary. .
TIME OF PLANTING.
In our climate, with its long, hot sum
mers and frequent occurrence of protrac
ted drought, during the hottest months, it
is all important to plant as early as possi
ble to avoid danger of frost. Many who
apprehend late frosts, because the winter
lias been so unusually, mild, contemplate
late planting. They should remember
that com though tender is not easily killed
to the root, and though the leaves may
be bitten by frost the plant will duC forth
new shoots without material dimunition
of the yield.
DEPTH OF PLANTING."
From one and a half to two inches of
mellow earth is the proper depth to which
com should be planted. The roots of
corn are chiefly lateral, and put out near
the surface, therefore, it is important to
cover the seed well, and so that the after
culture may increase the depth of earth
upon the roots. Three or four grains
should be dropped where only one plant
is to be left. It is easier and cheaper to
thin than to replant the crop.
DISTANCE.
Six -feeb between the rows and three
feet between the plants in the row, is the
best distance on our ordinary uplands,
On bottom land or where the soil is natu
rally or artificially very rich, tbe rows
may be nearer together. So-also, on up
land, one stalk in a hill is preferable to
two. Tne crop is more easily kept clean.
The stogie stalk receives all the food from
soil which would be divided were there
two stalks, and though, perhaps, the two'
stalks might produce"" a greater number of
ears, those on the stogie stalk will be
larger and iu measurement equal in quan
tity and superior in quality to tho yield of
the two stalks.
SELECTION OF SEED.
The seed should be taken from the lar
gest and best filled ears, and from the butt
of the ear rejecting about a third from the
smaller end. The advertised seed com
which is said to produce five, six and sev
en ears to the stalk, more commonly pro
duces that number of nubbins, than ears.
Experience teaches that to proportion as
the number of ears to the stalk is increas
ed, their size is reduced.
STEEPING SEED IN TAR WATER.
A good preventive against loss by crows,
etc., is to steep the seed for twenty-four
hours before planting, in very weak tar-
water, stirring the seed so that each grain
shall have a tbto coating of the mixture.
Irish Potatoes.
Professor Johnson, in his Encyclopedia
of Farming, says that “the Irish potato is
worthless" when cultivated in the South.”
"Whether our people believethis or not,they
seem to believe it, for the culture of the
Irish potato in the South is extremely
limited in extent, aud the few that are cul
tivated fully sustain Professor Johnson’s
sweeping condemnation.
We believe, however, that our soil and
climate arc better suited to the culture of
the Irish potato than those of the North.
It is true that our personal experience is
confined to garden or patch culture, but
.we see no reason why it should not do as
well on a large scale as in a patch. We
have made two abundant crops of potatoes
year, and their quality was as
good as that of any Northern raised pota
toes we have ever seen. The first crop
.we planted in February, the second In Ju
ly or August. As food for man and
beast they pay and pay well, and with
proper care are as easily kept during the
winter as sweet potatoes.
Dr. /Voqlker says that the best manure
for the Irish potato is a mixture of super
phosphate of lime, potash, and sulphate
of ammonia, and he recommends a very
liberal application of the mixture, 400
pounds phosphate, 200 potash, 200 sul
phate of ammonia per acre. He adds
that twelve tons, equal to 400 bushels, was
the yield of an acre to which that mixture
was applied.
Children often wake in the night with
a burning fever, and the parent is at a
loss to divine the cause. Worms! Worms,
are at work. A dose of Shriner’s Indian
Vermifuge is the only remedy. mr9-lw

out, clawed at the wire of the door bell
which ran through the celler, and made
fhe bell ring incessantly. The owner of
the house, a timid man, after repeatedly
going to the froqf door and finding no one
there, called upon a passing policeman,
and the two well armed went into the
cellar. The cat then quietly went out.
A well-known insurance agent went
into an office in Bridgeport the other day,
and was handed a note with tbe remark
that they were all too busy to talk with
him then and that the note would explain
all. He took the note and went away
and opened it. It contained two dollars
with the explanation that they considered
it cheaper to pay him that amount than
have him talk to them. As this agent
once chased a man to the top of a vessel’s
mast in the harbor to insure him they got
off cheap enough.—Hartford Times. ‘

Washington City,
March 4, 18SO.
senator hill’s troubles. •
The scandalmongers of this pious city
have been busy with Mr. Hill’s name for
some days past. The cause thereof was a
suit commenced in one of the courts here
a day or two since by one Jessie Ray
mond, who came here not long since, and
putting herself in the hands of Squire
Belva Lockwood, the lemale lawyer, did,
through that notorious person, aver that
she, the said Jessie Raymond, had been
sedured in November, 1877, ’at the Kim
ball House, Atlanta, by the said B. H.
Hill, the result of Which seduction was a
child named Thomas Benjamin Hill,
which said B. H. Hill refused to support,
except to the extent of giving to the said
JesSie the sum of thirty dollars, winding
np her declaration by claiming the small
sum of ten thousand dollars as damages.
The Squire Lockwood aforesaid was as
happy as a clam at high tide, and went
cackling all over town about her big case,
which, of course, made an immense sensa
tion. Mr. Hill promptly met the matter
by an unqualified and indignant denunci
ation of the woman and her Story, declar
ing that he had never seen her but once,
and then to a law office to Atlanta, and
her object was simply blackmail. This
was the view generally taken of it, and
his friends so expressed themselves in no
uncertain terms. v
OUT OF THE WAY AT LAST. -
The new rules were^finally disposed of
yesterday by the House and will go into
effect' next Monday. The final vote on
their adoption was 122 to 8&—the latter
all Radicals and Greenbackers, except
Sparks, of Illinois, and Culberson, of
Texas, Democrats. Outhis final vote
Messrs. Stephens and Felton voted with
the majority, and Mr. Speer was absent.
Fiye. of Maine, Radical, who assisted in
making the rules, stood by his handiwork
and voted aye, hut Garfield, who was the
other Radical member of the committee
on rules, voted against them. It is gen
erally conceded that the new rules will
greatly simplify business and put the
brakes upon the interminable flow of gab
allowed under the old ones. Among
other, changes made are these:
The “morning hour,” so called, is abol
ished. -Committees have simply leave to
report bills when called, without discuss
ing them. There are three calendars for
three general classes of bills, that of the
committee of the whole, that of general
legislation, and the private calendar, pre
cedence being given to them to the order
named. Motions to suspend the rules
may be made only on the first and the
third Monday in each month, the previous
question is regulated and restricted, and
“riders” to appropriation bills are pro
hibited unless germane to the subject and
reported by a committee.
THAT CBUEL ASSASSIN
of the English grammar and language,
John Logan, still continues his assault
upon both in the Senate. He lias been
speaking three days on the Fitz John
Porter case, and has the floor to-day for a
continuance of his blast. As he knows
neither law nor logic, he has, of course,
made himself more ridiculous than ever,
andmust be boiling over with rage at Mr.
Hill, who amused himself the day John
began his yawp by impaling him on the
sharp points of one or two questions that
John could not answer. Of course, no
body listens to him, and Senators who
love the weed have had a most refreshing
season of smoking and chatting to the
cloakroom. Perhaps the American Sen
ate has numbered amongst its members
in times past, some one who knew less,
and more delighted to demonstrate his
ignorance at all times and on all occa
sions than Logon, but history has failed
to name him. Of course, Logan is a furi
ous Grant man. All the stupidity - and
malignity of the Radical party is on the
same line. They all have the same con
tempt for the “d—d literary fellers,” that
old corruption Cameron used to express
so forcibly.
‘ NOT FOB SAMMY.
The talk here among those who are in
the confidence of the so-called Georgia
“independents” as to their programme in
the coming election for President, runs
somewhat as follows: They say the “In
dependents” will not vote for Grant or
any other Radical, but that in the event
ofTilden’s nomination they will put up
an “Independent” electoral ticket, which,
if elected, will not under any circum
stances cast the electoral vote of Georgia
for Tilden. If, therefore, the result should
depend on the vote of Geoigia with Til
den as the Democratic candidate he
should not have it, and thus, by indirec
tion, would be accomplished what they
dare not do directly. With the result a
between Grant, or any Radical, and Til
den, depending upon Georgia’s vote it is
easy to be seen how the left wing of the
Radical army could, by indirection, as
easily give the victory to thjur allies os if
they joined forces and openly voted with
them.
If the Democrats nominate Tilden, look
out for just such a consummation. I .put it
on record here and now, that this scheme
will certainly follow Tllden’s nomina
tion, and also that I haven’t a. cent to bet-
on the result, if the sore heAds pursue the
policy indicated above. That Tilden will
be a candidate for the nomination,' and
very likely a successful one, I haven’t the
slightest doubt. But if he is ready to die,
it seems to me his early decease would be
a sweet boon to the Democratic party.
As to the talk about his not being a can
didate again, tell that to the marines.
Nobody here takes stock in any such flap
doodle. Like the old man of the sea, he
contemplates getting on the hack of the
party for another riae towards the White
House, and will be awfully hard to shake
off. Contemplate that contingency, and
then think what might have been if Judge
Thurman had stood firm in the old ways!
The bare thought of what would have
followed then, and what may follow now,
gives me such a turn that I must stop
right here. A. W. R.
