Uzsxau. Jakes It. McOomncr, ox Con
gressman from the IVih HJeaonri District, bea
presented bis hack pay to Aroadia Oollego in
that Slate. The secret of this generosity ia
thus given by The St. Loots Democrat: “The
joke of the whole thing is that by 'donating*
$5,000 to the oollego, the worthy ex-Oosgreaa
man ooilecled a debt wbteh the institution
owed him, and which it la probable he eonld
not have obtained in any other way.”
Ex Gov. Caoxet, of Kansas, pnbllshss a long
sUtemsnt showing that Senator Oaldweli was
the man who broke the pledge of aeoreoy upon
the transaction by which the former was in-
doeed to withdraw from the Senatorial contest
on consideration of receiving $15,000. Ha aaya
be kept the contract, and the money also,
and that if Caldwell had only keen faithful to
hie promises "ha wonld to day have bean a
member of the United States Senate, and neither
himself, hia friends, nor the people of Leaven-
worth would have been subjected to the degra
dation they have bad to endnre.” In the mind
of Ur. Carney, CaUwell’a chief offense consist
ed, not in bribing at wholesale, but in telling of
it afterward. „ >’J. .
A urmta from Congressman Frye, of Maine,
is published concerning the effects of the Maine
liquor law, and bis atutemeuia are endorsed by
the entire Congressional delegation of that
KUte. The following are its important portions:
"I can and do, from my own personal observa
tion, unhesitatingly affirm that the consumption
of inloxleatlng liquors in Maine ia not to-day
ooe-fonrth aa great aa it was SO years ago; that,
in Iba eonotry portions of the State, the sale
and use have almost entirely oeaaed; that the
law of Itself, nnder a vigorous enforcement of
Us provisions, has oroated a temperanoe senti
ment which it msrvelons, and to whioh opposi
tion is powerless. In my opinion onr remark-
able lemperanoe reform of to-day is the legiti
mate child of the law."
A* Important railroad bill haa been passed
by the Illinois Ilouae, and la now bofore the
Senate with a prospect of Anal passage with
amendments. It Is known as tho ‘‘compro
mise''bill. It gives tho Railroad Commission
power to establish freight and passenger tariffs
all over the State, which shall be the maximum,
and any Increaae upon whieb shall be deemed
untamable, printa fade. Roads are forbid
den to eetabliah nnreasonablo rates, or to dis
criminate between freight of like quality and
quality for different diatanoes in tho same di-
nctioa. The bill doos not Interfere with oom-
matition, excursion, or thousand-mile tickets,
■od punishes violations of the fixed rates with
laaa varying from $1,000 for the first to $23,-
000 for the fourth offense. Trial may be before

“ Dea'l e« to Arkansas.”
An Intelligent friend aaya the way to ettoour*
age negro emigration lo Arkansas ia to beg
them not to go. There ia no doubt about that,
and the committee of the State Agricultural So
ciety appointed to diaoourage such emigration
will perhaps do as much the other way aa the
moat lively Rackenaaok drummer. Tell the ne
groes to go and look at the oountry—tell them
yon know nothirg about Arkansas, and are not
qualified lo give advioe—tell them yon think it
will be an excellent thing to diminish the num
ber of negroes la Georgia by at least one-half—
that there will be leu African politioa—leas hog
stealing—leu cbieken and oom plunder—better
wages for'thcsee who remain—that It will oom-
pel the white folks to take np the shovel and
the hoe, whioh they ought to do—and the ne
groes had better go to themselves any how,
and make a State to anlt them. Tell them this,
and the rascals will nelTer stir an ipch. There's
nothing like sober trd'.h: it is alt-prevailing.
On the other hand, set np bngabooa about the
Arkansas swamps, where it a man don't sink
above hia knees he begins to fear a drouth—toII
them abont the mosquitoes like leather winged
bats—the horrid agues—the stinking water and
ao on, and Sambo snspeets at tmoe yon are atnff.
ing him for yonr own bent fit.
For onr part, although we wonld by no means
persuade a negro to leave Georgia, yet ws wonld
bt glad to belisTS that this population will di
minish by emigration from year to year until
finally the people of the State shall be homoge
neous and the wretched scramble for negro sn
preraacy shall cease forever.
As fer the scarcity of labor, do we not now
see in all onr towns a redundancy of labor? ev
ery “situation,” so-oalled, beset by numerous
applicants? whereas we devoutly believe the
best, happiest and most profitable "situation”
for any yonng and healthy man in Georgia ia
cultivating hia own soil. There is no soareitj
of muscle in Georgia, though there may be of
labor, and any ehange wblob shall bring it into
aotlve'employment vill be a God send to all
eonoerned.
Last Week’s Colton Figures.
The New York Chronicle reports the receipts
of the seven days ending Friday night, the 25tb
instant, at 40,373 balsa, against 55,ST.O bales last
weak, 48,945 bales the previous week, and 48,-
C37 boles three weeks sinoe, making the total
reoeipts sinoe the 1st of September, 1872, 3,-
209,398 bales, against. 2,564,652 bales for the
aamo period of 1871-72, showing an increaae
since September 1, 1872, of 645,246 bales.
The reoeipts for the same time at the seven
interior ports were 9,225 bales, against 4,444
for the same days laat year. The shipments
were 15,982, against 11,915, and the stooks on
hand aggregated 39 398, against 28,130 at the
same date last yetr.
The Chronicle’s table of visibly supply foots
np 2,530,434 bales against 2.455,185 at same
date laat year—showing an increase of 75,249
bales.
The weather reports speak of continued cold
and drontb. - The Chronicle says the frost in
Texas did mneh leu damage than reported,
though some replanting will have to be done
Some of the. conntry tributary to New Orleans
will also have to be replanted. Thermometer—

Another Battle With the Modocs.
Thu noon telegrams yesterday announoed an
other battle with the Modoos, In whioh nine
teen American oifioers and soldiers had been
killed and twenty-three wounded. No result of
the action was given, bnt a private telegram to
the editors said that the dispatches would be
held open to two o’clock for the details. They
did not oome, however,—but no donbt this edi
tion.will get something more on the eubjeot
kefora g.1.0 Aw pru. im Ik. w*ly Levin of
Wednesday morning.
We are apprehensive, from the nature of
this dispatoh—the retnrn of killed and wound
ed—the failure to olaim a victory, which oonld
havo boon done in a very few words, and the
promlso of details in tho future, which com
monly in such a oonneotion mean explanation!,
that tho American forces have met with a se
vere and decisive repnlse.
But tho samo paper which expresses this fear
will also contain facts showing either its verifi
cation or its otter groundlessness. Let ns hope
all has gone right, and the Modocs have been
severely punished. If the Modoos have indeed
whipped Gen. Gillem all Indiandom will be in
open revolt in a few days and fire, mnrdor and
desolation sweep the oountry west of the Rocky
Mountains.
French Politics.
Tho late special elections to fill vacancies in
the French National Assembly have resulted in
tho choice of four Conservatives, three Beds,
or Radicals, and ono Legitimist. A Paris tel
egram of yesterday represents M. Thiers as
mnch disheartened over the result, and speoial
dispatches to the papers within the put few
days express mneh apprehension over the sitn-
ation in France. The Iteds either tie or out-
nnmber the Conservatives among tho people,
particularly of the cities, and the Legitimists,
at beat, are cireless abont sustaining the latter;
as they reason, though another baptism of fire,
blood and anarohy may be a heavy temporary
disaster to France, it will work good in the end,
by setting her government on the only founda
tion which holds ont the promise of stability—
a monarchy under her legitimate line of sove
reigns. . ,
As to the continental powers, in general, it
will be no flight of fancy to snppoee they are
qnlte willing to see Republicanism repre
sented again in Franoe, and also in Spain by the
fantutio and destructive pranks of the com
mune. In all probability affairs will soon be
come deoidedly Interesting in both countries.
A Flue Rain.
There were abont twelve to fourteen hoars of
pretty continuous and moderate rain from Mon
day evening to ten or eleven o'clock yesterday
noon, daring which the long dronth was pretty
thoronghty broken np, and the soil well satura
ted. This came at a golden time'for the orops,
both field and garden. It will bring np the
seeded ootton end oorn, relieve growing vegeta
bles, and give a fine time for transplanting cab
bage', beets, lettuce, tomatoes, egg plants and
the like, as well as potato slips. It will go far
towards seeming the Irish potato crop, whioh is
just beginning to blossom, had it will push for
ward the eatly routing ears. Lively times now
for planters and gardeners for a few days, and
we trust showery weather will continue for some
dayt, without prejudioe, however, to the littl4
folks. Ah! they are now u anxious abont May-
day u If their lives depended on fair weather,
Papa do yon think it is going to rain next
Thursday ?” What paterfamiliu did not hear
that question yesterday and will not hear it often
to4ay, particularly if there should happen to be
a shower or two ?
"BsTefuards Against Panic.”
Under tMs head the New York Commercial
and Finanoi-l Chronicle disensses with mneh
elaboration the-probabilities and possibilities of
a panic, and metrsons as the great existing
safeguards against u the reserves hold by the
banks. The real recuri- lies in the faet that
the enrreney la irredeemabi.—there is no pay
day in rcepeot to onr circolatng medium, and
where this ia the ease the banks are oompara-
tivety assy, and are not compelled to cramp
the circulation in eelf-defenoe.
Our “ stringencies ” in these conditions do
not rise to the measure of t panic or oollapre,
end they are, in greater fart, no doubt, tha
work of Wall street cliques, who combine to
gat np a oorner in the interests of speculation.
The result of their operations tods its develop
ment ia measure and effect up>n the prioe of
gold and stocks, and hampers and barruees tbs
general burinssa at the oountry, but does not
produce general prostration like that which
oonms when a maa finds all htsaaseU, inoloding
hank bins, failing or worth lass vq gia hands.
TerrtMe Ballet ene at Marshal rill fr.
Mil mi t.TILLS. Ga., April 29, 1873.
Bditort Telegraph and Mteeenger: We were
visited this morning with a hailstorm of im
mense magnitude. Durirg the night, at inter
vals, we had considerable skirmishing; at three
diatinot times we had quite a lively time, bnt
in these only small aims were need, aa the mis
siles were small, bnt it waa very evident to the
sleepless sentinel that a general wonld
be made sometime daring the night. Far to the
weet the lurid glare of heaven's artillery eonld
be aeon, aocompanied now and than with deep
muttering sounds—a sure indication of a spirit
ed and obstinate attack. It- required bat alight
obserraticn to observe the faet that an advanoe
had bean ordered. No oommaada were beard,
but steadily tha sound increased, until at
about fire o'clock in'tha morning tbs' battle
storm opened in real earnest. Peal after
peal, accompanied with a terrific shower of icy
shot. Tho lurid g’are became alarming, dis
playing in its wild, frantic leaps the solid trans
parent missiles, which seemed to be pointed with
diamonds. The scene was terribly magnificent
Old earth seemed frozen to her centre, for upon
her bosom lay the ahot of death to her spring
life. Tho tender foliage of the'sombre woods
lay bleeding at the feet of its weeping parents.
The tender plants nurtured so tenderly by the
horticulturist's hand has been shattered, and the
prospects so fliUeringly entertained bnt yester
day swept away.
We have suffered somewhat for the want of
rain in ihu si-ction, and also from oold winds.
Yoateiday we had alight showers whioh were
quite pleasing to the planters. Tha results of
last night's rain and hall has, in tha opinion of
some, been quite disastrous. As before stated,
we bad, I thick, three distinct showers of small
bml, but about fire o'clook this morning the
bail waa c-f enormous size. Our excellent May
or aaaured me his morning that he measured one
stone brought io tbe bourn some little time af
ter iho stone had fallen, that measured four and
three quarter inches in length, and that he was
satisfi. d would have weighed over half a pound
wnen It first fell. Dr. Wm. Hafer, of our town
(a very exoellent and worthy citisen), assured
me that he pioked up from his portioo a num
ber of atones the size of hia flat; and from rev-
eral gent lumen of unquestioned veraolty simi
lar statements ware xnadc. Tons correspond,
eot bad six panes of glam broken from one
window near tbe bead of his bed ; aod after the
shower waa over went into hia garden, and
there saw, in oompany with a friend, indenta
tions made in soit earth, with the stones in
them, tha else of a man’s fiat. These atones
were oblong and flit, and ridged or ragged, re
sembling rook candy, and very solid Tnia bail
storm seemed to travel from north of w,-»i, io
nearly an easterly direotion, and is unprece
dented in this latitude. It is still raining, and
at th-s time all the stones have melted.

The Rente for the Meson end Knoxville
Bond—A l*r«position from Athens.
We have been handed tbe following private
letter written to a gentleman in this city by
a friend In Athens, and publish for the'infor
mation of all oonoerned:
Annas, Ga., April 25,1873.
Dxaa ——: What do yon Maoon people mean
by your foolish, suicidal ooniM in reference to
the Maoon and Knoxville Railroad ? Everybody
knows that the road eannot and will not be bnllt,
and that portion of it that will be bnilt by Ma
con's money will never pay, because, running
parallel with and contiguous to the Maoon and
Western, Georgia, and Airline roads, it oannot
attract local freight and travel to Any great
extent, and as it will not go through there will
be no through travel. You propose to subscribe
$250,000 to oommenoe a road 250 miles long,
engineered by a lot of New York eapitaliaU, who
are in the interest of the Western and Attantio
railroad, and who do not want a road to be bnilt
throngh to the Tennessee line, because it will
injure the State road. Don't you sea that they
are only nalng yonr folks aa a cat’s paw, to pre
vent the building of A road f Now, let me en
treat you to lock at tbe map for yourself, and
see if this ia not your beet and shortest route,
independent of every other consideration.—
There are but two available points at whioh you
can get through the mountains between Georgia
aud Tennessee. One of these ia at Chattanooga,
tbe other at or near Olayton. You propose to
get throngh the monntaina at Uoaooy Gap, in
Towns oonn*y. A eompeUnt engineer, who
knows that oountry well and has surveyed all
around Uoaooy Gap, aaya you cannot get througU
there at a ooat of leas than one million dollars.
It is the wildest, roughest oountry in tbe Booth,
and to think of getting throngh there is too
ridionlons to talk about.
Now, we have a short, choap and feasible
route—sixty miles under contract—and every
foot of it hat been turceyed and tbe cost esti
mated. We oan give yon the figures tor every
foot of the way. There is no oonfliot of inter
est between it and any other route—no other
route is contemplated tnat is shorter, nor after
it is bnilt will there be any rival road bnilt that
can offer tbe same advantages as to oheapnesa
of construction and distanoe. Now, I am au
thorized to say that we will guarantee the bnild-
iog of tho road from Maoon to Olayton within
two years, if yonr City Council will give us two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars nnder the
name restrictions you put upon the Macon and
Knoxville; or. if yon will build the road from
Maoon to Madison, we will build the balanoe of
the road, and make it a joint stoek oonoern. We
mean business, and if your people are disposed
to listen to ns we can oonvinoo you that your
interest lies in this direction. It we fail to show
you this we shall seek aid in another direotion,
and the road will run via Eatontonto Savannah,
instead of via Hontioello. This is no empty
boast I know whereof I speak. Now, talk to
yonr Mayor and some of your other oitixans,
and if you are willing to talk with ns we will
send a delegation to see yon.
Cariosities and Complexities of Call*
fornla Crists.
Tbe New York Tribune remarks that there is
a subtle and delleate flavor about California
crime not known in any other looality, and Il
lustrates Its proposition by the following story;
One Whitney, having a sum of money in
bank, and owing an equal sum, consulted one
Dixon as to the beet means of avoiding pay-
meat. Dixon promptly counseled that Whit
ney should withdrew the money and lodge It
secretly in his hands, so that It oonld not be at-
taobed by legal prooeas. This was done; but
when Whitney deeired to withdrew the sum
from his ingenious friend, the latter denied all
knowledge of the transaction. Thereupon the
despoiled Whitney craves the interposiUonof
the law, and makes s dean breast of it. The
legal myrmidons oTerhanl Dixon, and it Is at
last discovered that he has made over the cash
to an evil woman named Richardson, with the
understanding that both are to fly, rejoicing
each other in a distant city, where they oan
diffase the booty in peace. Searching
and argent investigation of this person dis
closed the foot that she hid Just perfected
her arrangements to throw overboard her fel
low-felon and ran away with another man; a
man of the Hoodlum order, with a taking eye
and a oorreot taste in hair oil. Search for this
yonng man brought to light the amusing foot
that he had spent quits s good portioo of tbe
money In purchasing a fugitive outfit for an
other young womon, who, as soon as she had
got the articles, did litarelly and actually fly
with still another yonng man about whom noth
ing ia known, except that ba aeeass to be the
only one in this strange sneeereioo of criminal•
who has reaped any of the fruits of tbe origi
nal crime. Considering the extreme oomplioa-
tion and embarrassment of everybody eonoern-
ed, and the small likelihood that ha will ever
get any of his money book, U is possible that
Whitney may now almost wish that instead of
mobilising his oapltal in that secret fashion, he
had quietly paid his debts with U.
Married Agmtmet Mar Will—A Arsens of
Seventy-five and n Bride at Sixteen.
From the Lousviile Courier-Journal ]
Hrxekiah Furyear of OampbeDsvflle, Ky., a
youth of seventy-five summers, was married to
Mies Aliee Cohort, aged sixteen, tha other day.
Aeoording to a correspondent of the Columbia
Spectator, the blushing groom was tbs last sur
vivor of s Urge fimily circle. His children,
after reaching maturity, all died of consump
tion, and rix months ago hia wife died, leaving
the dianonenlste husband without an hair to hia
estate, which was aeneuinlstsd by years of toil.
To supply this deficiency he sought s yonng
bride. Tbe girl seemi to have been in love with
a yonng fellow nearly of her own sge, and Ju4
before the day set for the wedding had planned
sn elopement with him. Tbs plan miscarried,
owing to elnmsy management Miss Alloa made
her eaoape onoa, but wishing to procure s eoat-
ly wedding drees, a present of the betrothed,
rile was discovered and looked np by her mater-
families, who then procured a pistol and drove
the lover and his poms firom the sosnsk The
happy wedding was afterwards aeiabreted with
out father interruption.

From the Scu’horn Christian Advocate.]
In 1859 Iwas the assistant to Brother H. H.
Parks at tha Mulberry Street Church in Maoon.
Where there are now three oharges, there waa
then but one. Mulberry Street Church had
over 700 on its roll, and the size cf the Church
was equalled by tbe piety of ih I have never
■ince that lima served a church in which there
were so many Christians of deep piety. Among
them was a coble body of young men, the most
of whom alas, are now out of this world. Last
week jou announced the death of oue of the
active, t Silent weskers of that time, Barit A.
Wise. There were three, in a group of young
imen, who each presented his own striking fea
tures, of whom this tribute is in memory. The
first of these to leave ns. wts Col. Robert A.
Smith. I call him a yonng man for he was,
'while perhaps forty years of age, when I first
knew him, the associate' of tbst class of the
oommnnity. He was one of the best and most
gifted men I ever knew. He was converted
while a boy of fourteen, and lived all his yonng
manhood a Christian. Highly gifted, cxrefnlly
educated, with all the advantages of wealth
and position, the promise before him at
the beginning was of the brightest kind.
He married A most charming wctnin. She
was taken from him. This was before I
knew him. Whether this tlfl ction was the
means of leading him to the higher heights
of the D.vine life, I know not, but when I
knew Mm he was one of the most spiritual and
holy men I every knew. His Christian life was
so active, so manly, so free from cant, so full
of oonrage. Who can ever forget his sweet,
earneet, pleading tones in prayer at the weekly
prayer meeting—his earnest teaching in Sun
day-school—his failhfnl attendance upon the
class of pious women which he led. Nor wore
these all his setviees. He was a steward, a
trustee, a leading member of tbe Christian As
sociation. He found time to visit the most de
graded ia dens of infamy, where ricknea
brought penitence—tAviait the city prison every
Sunday—to euparihteiid another reboot than
the one in which be taught the Bible class. He
gave without stint of worldly goods, and was
one of the grandest representatives of perfect
consecration I ever knew. He entered the ar
my. He was too feeble for servioe, yet he wonld
not leave his regiment. He was on a sick bed
when the opening gnus told that the battle had
begun. He placed himself at the head of his
men, was mortally woondeJ, and died in a few
daya.
" Grandly be liTed for other men’s weal;
Grandly ha died for other men’s wrong;
Grandly ha recta with the patriot throng,
Who fell ’ueath the foeman's steel.”
Robert P. McEvoy wai his bosom friend.
He was a yonng merobaot at the time I knew
him. Wm unmarried, giving all his care to a
motier worthy of such a son.
A thorough business man, knowing bow to
conduct it to profit, and knowing well how to
nse his means for good. In all contributions to
good causes he was always abreaBt the foremost.
He was one of the most unassuming, quiet
men I ever knew, but his was the repose of
real strength. He married most happily. God
bleastd him with children. Life was bright be
fore him when his health began to fail. Slowly
bnt steadily he wasted away from consumption,
and during his long illness his beantifnl char
acter grew still more lovely, and a; last trium
phantly he passed beyond
He met all the demands of life. Was ono of
the moat affectionate sons, most thoughtful
husbands, most publio-spirited citizens, and
most liberal and devoted Christians.
Differing from each of them, bnt admirable
in all his features, was that last one of the three
whohas jnat gone to join them. He differed
mnoh from each of them, in his temperament.
He was free, joyous, buoyant. Beginning life
a poor boy—comiDg to Maoon without means he
made his way, by virtue of‘his merit alone, to
be among the first of Macon’s merchants. For
15 years, he was my boBom friend. Knowing
him writ I often trembled for him in the midst
of the temptations which surrounded him, and
my heart rejoioed with the deepest joy when I
returned from Virginia and found him so happy,
in snob a borne, with a wife so excellent, and
with a character so fixed and firm in its relig'ons
features. He was not a man of an emotional na
ture. He was an afitive, stirring, business man,
who felt that religion required work and he tried
to give it. I never knew him to be oonfiaed to
his room from sickness. He was ax strong, he
bade fair to live so long, and do so mnoh. A
few months ago I was at hia hoose, I saw the
happy husband with his children, I said to him,
‘‘Sorely, my old friend, yon have everything a
man oonld ask, wealth, home, wife, ohildren,
piety, yon ought to be the most grateful of
men,” and he was grateful. Then I beard he
was sick—then dead—alas 1 alas! I have more
friends now in Rose Hill than in Maoon, and it
is a little jnore than half a scare of years sinoe
I was wltn mem. Tnank Gud, they do not di*,
nor ohange to ns, although they ohange—Boss,
Smith, McEvoy, Sherwood, Walerman, Donnell,
Wise. When I was a pastor I knew every faoe,
bnt now I atn a stranger. Thank God for a
land in whioh there are no partings.

Tbe Strikers Overawed.
On the 10th of February last, we called atten
tion to the movement then bogining among the
trade anions of the oity for a renewal of the la
bor strikers, andbintedto the members of those
bodies that it wonla be expedient to recall the
history of their fsilnre In the previous year be
fore they again committed themselves to a silly
undertaking. More than two months have
sinoe passed away, and this period has been oc
cupied by tbe workiugmen in pnblio and pri
vate oonferenoes, with threats of what they
would do, and declarations of their inflexible
purpose to oompel the whole employing class
to pay the ten hoars' price for eight hears' work,
and to plaoe the best and the worst workmen on
the same footing in every manafactnring es
tablishment. Last night, at a general meeting of
the representatives of tbe trades,defeat was con
fessed, and it was voted to postpone the strike un
til 1874, with the understanding that a conven
tion shall be held in New York next Bummer for
the purpose of organizing a national movement.
Very good. Nothing oonld be bettor than a
general conference among the representative
workmen of the whole i country—especially if
opportunity be given for an untrammelled ex-
presaion of opinion. There are many seneible
men among the members of the unions, bnt
they are usually dumb and powerleas in tbe
presenoe of tbe blatant orators who assume the
leadership of the looal organizations, and whose
inoompetency is only equalled by their loqua
city. In a national convention, the better class
of artisans might have a chance to present oom-
mon-seme arguments. Meanwhile, as tho case
now stand*, the conspiracy of labor against
oapital is a failure. Tho strikers are over
awed by the firm aspect of the employing class,
by the snxnmary suspension of work, by the
prospect of destitution and misery which stares
the unemployed in tbe fqoe. The men now
that they have gone too far, and that the
inevitable result of their wild theories wonld
be disastrous. It must be said, in jnstioe to
them, that they yield graeefolly, confessing
defeat like men, and acoeptlng the conditions
which they oannot alter. Now 1b the time for
the whole employing olaas to renew the offer of
a fair compromise which has been so often
made; having won a great moral viotory, every
employer can afford to he generous. The me -
ehanios most earn their bread, and the only
oonree now open to them is to make terms with
those who can give them employment. But the
employer has a right to stipulate that tbe bad
workmen shall be paid the exact valne of his
work—no more. It is the he'ght of absurdity
to claim that a carpenter who hardly knows how
to handle a jack-plane shall receive the samo
pay for his labor is his fellow workman who is
well-trained, eapable and experienced. As well
might the youngest lad in a dry goods store de
mand tbe came pay as the skilled salesman who
readily commands thousands of dollars yearly.
The whole trade-union system is bottomed on
error, and until the men who oompose the mem
bership bring good sense to bear upon their
enterprises, they most expect to encounter just
■ueh defeats as those which have befallen them
in 1873 and I $73.— CfmtnereialAdurtiier, 26A.

How a Han and Hia Wife Pat up m
Steve.
From the Danbury News. |
Patting np a stove is not so difficult in itself.
It is the pipe that raises fonr fifths of tbe mis.
ohief and ail tbe dast. You may take down a
stove with aU the care in the world, and have
yonr wife pnt away the pipe in a secure place,
and yet that pipe won't oome together again as
lt was before. Yon find this ont when yon are
standing on a chair with your arms full of pipe
and your mouth fall of soot Your wife is
standing on the floor in a position that enables
her to see yon, tbe pipe and tbe chair; and
here tha gives ntteranoe to those remarks that
are calculated to hasten a man into the ex
tremes of insanity. Her dress is pinned over
her waist, and her hands rest on her hips. She
has got one of yonr hats on hsr head, and yonr
linen coat on her baek, and a pair of your rub
bers on her feet. There is abont five rents' worth
of pot-blackon hernose, sodalotof floor on her
chin, and aLogether ^h* is a speotacle that wonld
inspire a dead man with distrust. And while
yon are ap there trying to eiroamvont the awfal
contrariness cf the pipe, and telling that yon
know some fool has been mixing it, she stands
safely on the floor and bombards you with snoh
domestic mottoes as: “ What’s the nse of
swearing so?” “You know no one has touched
that pipe.” “Ton ain’t got any more patience
than a child.” “ Do be earefol of that ohair.”
And then she goes off, and re-sppeara with an
srmfnl more of pipe, and before yon are aware
of it she has got that pipe so horribly mixed np
that it does seem no two pieces are alike. You
join the ends, and work them to and fro, and
take them apart again and look at them. Then
you spread one out and jam the other together,
and mount them ones more. Bat it is no
go. You begin to think tbe pieoes are in
spired with life and aohe to kick them
through the window. But Khe doesn't lose her
patieooe. She goes around with that awfully
exasperating rigging on, with a length of pipe
nnder each arm, and a long-handled broom in
her hand, and nya the don’t see how it is some
pefiple never have any trouble in patting np a
stove. Then you mire the hammer. You don't
•ee it anywhere. You stare into the pipe and
along tbe mantle, and down on the stove, and
off to tbe floor. Your wife watches yon intent
ly, and is finally thoughtful enough to inquire
what you are looking after, and on learning,
pulls tbe article from her pocket. Than you
feel as if yon eonld go out doom and awear a
hole twelve feet square through a block at
brick buildings, but she merely ohaervea, “Why
on earth don’t joa speak whan you want any
thing, and not stare around like a dummy ?
When that part of the pipe which goes through
the wall is up, the keeps it np with her broom
while yon are making the oonneotion, and
Btarea at it with an intensity that ia entirely
far. All tbe while your portion is
beoeming more and more interesting. The
pipe don't go together, of eonnte. The soot
shakes down into your eyre and month, tha
swtM mitt down your faoe and tickle* your coretwm 836; Hire 600; Mock SQ.DM.
chin as it drops off, and it seems as it your
arms are alowly bnt surely drawing ont of their
sockets. Here yonr wife comes to the rescue
by inquiring if yon are going to be all day doing
nothing, and if you think her arms are made of
out iron; and then the broom slips off
tha pipe, and in her endeavor to reoover her
hold she jabs you nnder the chin with the
handle, and the pipe comes down on yonr head
with its load of fried soot, and then the ohair
tilts forward enough to discharge yonr feet, and
you oome down on the wrong end of that ohair
with a foroe that would bankrupt a pile-driver.
Yon don't lonoh that afore again. You leave
your wife examining the chair and bemoaning
its injuries, and go into the kitchen and wash
your and bleeding hands with yellow
■oan. Hun you go down the street after a man
to do tha hnainare, and your wife goes over to
the neighbors with her ohair and tells them
abont its injuries, and drains the neighborhood
dry of its sympathy long before you get home.
Tbe Frost nt Charleston and on tbe Sea
Islands—Damage to the Crops.
The News and Courier, of Monday, says:
On Friday night last, the weather whioh had
been gradually growing warmer every day dar
ing the we«k, suddenly and violently ohanged.
The thermometer fell rapidly on Friday night,
and on Saturday morning before sunrise, the
farms and gardens in the vioinity ot the city
were visited by a killing frost, whioh did great
damage to the growing orops. This may be
rammed np as follows:
Tbe frost extended down to the oity and was
observed on all the farms and gardens in . the
suburbs. The pBtato crop has been damaged
about one-fifth, and the bean and other vege
table orops abont one-fourth. The orops of
cucumbers, tomatoes and melons are seriously
injured. In some looatities the damage is
worse than in others, and tha farms at a dis
tanoe from the oity suffered most. Tbe
strawberry orop has not been injured by the
frost, but ia suffering badly for want of rain.
The shipment of berries to Naw York which, at
this season, is generally very heavy, has been
in oonaeqnenoe of the protraoted drought, very
light during the past we* k. The freeze is re
presented to have been very severe on James
Island and tbe surrounding oountry, and it is
reported that the growing sea island ootton orop
haa been badly hart. An informant states that
in one row of ootton, one hundred and forty-
five feet in length, he oonnted twenty-six dead
and thirty-two live plants. A oareful estimate
places the damage in the immediate locality re
ferred to at not less than from thirty to thirty-
five per cent. The figures will, of course, be
different in different seotions, where the frost
may or may not have been so severe.
Tbe ooourreooe of a freeze at as late a period
aa the 2Uth of April is something almost unpre
cedented in tbe history of the low oountry of
Sonth Carolina. Tbe latest frost of whioh we
have knowledge. in a period of a half eentnry
ooonrred on the 19;h of April, 1849, on whioh
day there was a killing frost, and in oonseqnenee
of whioh the prioe of ootton rapidly advanced.
Tha orop of ootton that year was very short.
Dlscovrrles at Pompeii.
The Units Nszionale, of Naples, gives an ao-
count ot some interesting researches reoentiy
made in the rains of the bnried oity: "In the
poroh of a small boose two skeletons were
found, one of them being ineonteatibly that of
a woman, as it'had on a braoelet of massive
gold, of an nnnsnal form, oomposed ot thiok
rings soldered to each other, the whole being
fastened by two pieoes of wire of the same
metal. Tbe day after, in tbe garden of the
same dwelling, was discovered a small statue,
seated, Bbont two feet high, of a rather nnoom-
mon model. It is in terra-cotta, bnt of no defi
nite type. The head, in fact, is absolutely that
of Jupiter; tbe figure is oovered with a tunio,
having short sleeves, which only oover the up
per part of the arms; the legs and hands are
orosaed; a oloak falls from the ehouldeis and
envelopes the lower limbs; the right hand holds
a papyrus, so that the belief is it mast represent
philosopher.
‘Two days after, however,fa mere important
work of art was found at tbe bottom of another
garden oontignons.to the one above mentioned,
namely, a marble Venns, measuring, with the
base, more than a yard in height. It is in per
fect preservation, as it only wants two fingers of
the right hand, bnt the most remarkable char-
aoteristio is that it is oolored. The exoavations
of Pompeii and Heroulaoeum have produoed
many other Bpeoimens of painted marble, but
the tints have all, more or loss, faded away. In
the present work the hair is yellow, the eyelash
es and eyebrows black; the obalamys whioh,
from the left arm passing behind the shoulders,
descends on the legs and oovera the lower parts,
is also tinted yellow outside, while the interior
folds show at the edges some traoes of bine and
red. The undo parts are white, the left arm,
the hand of whioh holds the apple of Paris,
rests npon a smaller statue, the drapery of
whioh is also tinted yellow, green and blaok.”
A Covington newspaper man was fined for
taking notes cf a sermon. They oalled it dis
turbing a religions meetiog. It seems that the
Western women have just as mnoh cariosity as
their Eastern sisters when a note book appears
in their vioinity, and are just exsctly as restless
nntil their inqnaitiveness is satisfied.

Bemaek able and Great Cure of Diabetis—(Su-
g :b in the Urine)—by Dr. J. A. Jones.—For near
ly three years I waa sick unto death with that
dreadful disease diabotia—sugar in tbe urine— dur
ing which time my aufforing’i language eonld not
dt-Bcnbo. My disease was contracted in September,
lh70—nearly throe years age-while in the employ
of Col. Edmund Harrison, in Montgomery, Ala.,
who knows of my ca^e well. 1 was treated by all
tho best physicians of the principal Southern ouiei,
and nearly all of them gave up my case as monra-
blo, after treating mo for weeks or months. I also
tried tbe mountain air of Birmingham, AU., end
tried bittrrs and all kinds of patent medioines.
Nothing reached my disease, or touched the rook
of it, or changed my urine, which was white, and
soon after being voided in tho son crystalized into
sugar. I had to get np every hour during the
night to drrnk and void water. Everything I ate
and drank turned into sugary urine; and thus, by
ounces, I was waited and reduced from a strong,
healthy, stout man of 170 ponne* to a skeleton of
till pouuds. Forty-eight Lours after I commenced
Dr. Jones’ treatment my urine changed to a natu
ral color, with the natnral odor, and in a few daya
my pains and ills left mo- I feel aa well aa I ever
did in my life; have good, natural appetite, natu
ral and regular bowels, and am gaining my former
activity and strength daily, bnt my teeth are loose
and discolored from the bad effects of the mercury,
iron, arsenic, etc., given mo before I saw Dr JoneB.
I have not taken over an ounce of medicine from
Dr. Jones, and it was pleaeant to take, and Le
never changed his remody, and he novor gave me
hut onosmaJl bottle of that, but it wont to ihe very
spot, and I and my wife both saw that I was cared,
and I felt and saw it after the ffr*t twenty fonr
hours’ use of Dr. Jones’ medicine. I fed that I
owe my lifo to tho skiil of this great plijsician, for
my shroud was* prepared and at my bedside, and
my disease was pronounced incurable by ao many
physicians, somo of them staling that no person
had over been cured of diabetis.
R. VV. WmrE, Macon, Ga.
I know Mr. White; havo known him for many

“It ia well known by the people of Crawford
county, that I have been blind with a most distress*
ing disease of the eyes, purulent opthalmia, with
all the scalding tear*, swelling, burning, scratching
of the lids, opacity of the cornea, neuralgia, aching
of the forehead, and most distressing blindneta for
seven years past, during which time 1 employed the
skill of doctors here and elsewhere—all to no pur
pose. Finally, all my hopes of the future bad de
parted, nntil £ waa made acquainted with Dr. Jonea*
unparalleled skill. With but a ray of hope 1 placed
my c elf under his treatment a month ago, and from
that day my euro was no longer doubtfnl; for by
his peculiar treatment, and a few dcBes of medi
cine, be has restored my eyes to their natnral ap
pearance and sight, and day by day my tyes have
regaiued their natural strength, until now I
am for the flrst tuno in seven long yo&rH, attending
to ruy plantation, and am at work. From blindness
he has brought me to eee. Out of seven long

When I first employed your skill, I was indeed a
sufferer with all the ills that follow the violation of
those laws of onr existence, the abuse of whioh
leave their terrible tale too plainly told. My mem
ory was impaired, my body nearly ruioed; X had a
gone, langor feeling, nervous debility, irregular
sleep, startling and wasting dreama, weakness of
the back, floating spots before the eyes, sometime*
like webs, forgetfulness, inability to concentrate
ray mind, awfai foreboding?', desire to avoid com
pany, dnll, heavy feeling. 1 was wasting away and
despondent. I havo been utieg your wonderful
remedies now two months, and have regained my
former vitality and vigor; my mind and body are
improved—I am, indeed, a new being, with neiirly
all mj former vigorous mind and body. I am now
able to pureue mv occupation, and feel that lama
man again, and know how to shun, in the future,
that awful secret habit which wonld have rniutd mo
