1 nr. GEORGIA STATE FAIR.
Knyor Hull's Address.
Matos's Omcx. )
Msoow, Jane 1, 1873 >
To the People of Upper and Hotter Georgia:
A* von are aware, the Georgia State Agricnl-
tnr*I Society will hold ita next anneal Fair at
this place, commencing oa tho 27th day of Oc
tober.
Every true Georgian ia jnstly proed or hie
native State—rich in minerals aa it ia varied in
eoil—wealthy, indeed, in all that should consti
tute a people prosperous and happy. We have
here that diversity of prodoction and peculiar
adaptation of the various sections to the dif
ferent industrial pnranits which combine to
make np the natural elements .efficient for an
Expire. In agriculture, as in everything else,
barmonions concert of action strengthens and
supports each section cf the State. Lower
Georgia has her peculiar interest to foster and
protect and her grest strength lo l.oast of.
Tho asme may be said of npper and middle
Georgia. The city cf Macon occupies e grand
central position geographically, and her citi
zens have provided within her limits fair
gronndi and eqnipmenU eqnal, if not superior,
to any in the United States, for the accommo
dation of visitors and for the exhibition of any
and every article which may be brought
here for abow. The Executive Committee
and members of the State A gn colt oral Society
have evinced a determination to make this next
the great Fair of the State. The handsome and
liberal premium list now being circulated
throughout the State speaks for itself. An ex
amination of ils pages will convince every one
that the Society means bnainerg. Bnt the
“ county displays" ere looked forward to as tne
premier nt and great leading features of the Fair,
and will donbtleaa present a grand pznoramie
view of enoh county and section aneh ss has
never before been witnessed by the people of
Georgia. Tho purposes of this appeal are,
therefore, to invite and nrge every oonnty in
the State, if possible, to be represented in some
way, so that we may have no blanks in the pic
ture. To do this is a plain, palriotio doty; a
duty which, if zealously performed, will con-
dace to the prosperity and auooess of every
oonnty in the State, witbont any regard what
ever es to which gets the $1000 premium fil
tered. This premium will, of conr.o, go to the
oonnty which shall famieh the “largest and
and finest display.” But, as will be seen by
referenee to the premium list, there are three
other handsome premiums to be distributed
among other counties, as follows:
A premium of SHOO to the county making the
second best display.
A premium of (300 to the oonnty making the
third best display; and
A premium of $200 to the county making the
fanrtn best display.
There are now three prominent counties in
the State which arc known to be bending and
concentrating all their vast powers and resour
ces upon tbiB greet context—one in Upper Geor
gia, one in Middle Georgia, and one in Sonlb-
western Georgia. Other counties will report
progress, and enter tho list for competition at
the next meeting of the Society, to bo held in
Athene next month.
Bnt while the foregoing county prizes are in
tended to represent the leading features of the
premium lisa, they are by no means tho most
attractive. The city of Maoon has united with
the society in the effort to present a list of re
wards that will not only please bnt actually
recompense the exhibitor far some labor and
expense. And among others which may be re
ferred to with pride and satisfaction, are tho
following:

These are among the many premiums effered
by the oity of Maoon, and the State Agricultu
ral Society, aggregating in all moro than §15,-
000. Bnt It la not to the value of the premi
ums that wo look for rewards. The exhibition
promises nobler rosnlts than this. There will
be a great moral inflaenoo growing out ot it.
The political eoonomiat will hero find food for
hie thoughts. Tho artisan will scan, with eaglo
eye, the work of his peers. Tho thrifty farmer i
tne enterprising merchant; tho fowl fancier,
and the stock importer; the hortionUnrist—all
will be entertained, pleased and instructed.
Hero we will learn the sources of supply and
demand in our own State. Horo we will learn
where, in our own Stale, each and every articlo
is produced, raised or manufactured. Our peo
ple wiU here be taught where, in their own
country, they may follow that pursuit best
suited to their interest and taste, without being
forced to hunt homes among.strangers, as is
now too often the case. Exhibitors from Upper
Georgia will here find a market for the ready
sale of much, if Dot all, of their periehiblo ar
ticles at fall, remunerative priocs. In addition
to all this, much general good must necessarily
grow out of these annual reunions of so many
of the thinking and working men and women
of tho country. The spirit of State pride is
fanned Into new Ufa by these meetings, and
we forget, as it were, our indvidnal misfor
tune* in rejoicing over oar mutual successes.
Let ns then devote one week in next
October to the very profitable work of
meeting and discussing the important ag
ricultural and commercial interests of the
dav Let it be a week devoted purely
to the explosion of false theories and
putting into practical operation the safe,
sound, business ideas cf the times. Among
other things, let ns prove, by the variety and
merits of our exposition, the great and absolute
danger and folly of looking to railroads, rivers
or canals for relief from “hard times. Let our
Fair in October be the only argument adduced
by os to prove the otter fallacy of that grand
idea, that ignis fai-avs, called cheap transport
ation, which has so suddenly become the ^11-
absorbing theme among men in search of relief.
For it may in time—indeed, it has already—be
come a eerions question with thoughtful, ob
serving men, whether we hive not now too
innoh transport*'-ion. Oar seeming advantages
may sometimes become our grea'est misfortune.
Xnat which is oft-time* a convenience is not al
ways a blessing. It may become a vital neces
sity for us to inquire whether or not these im
mense railroad tines—traversing and corduroy
ing, as they do, our country from maun tain to
•eabo&rd—are really feeding or absorbing us ?
That transportation which foe tars sod e nooar
ages onr improvidence while it depletes our
nookets, may be the transportation least of all
ottiera wanted in this country. And the objeo-
— I ua atM\pol«nro*^ aoiinit nnr railrnad
Ihe practicability of these grand schemes for
reducing freights that we moat atop now
to oonmder—for no matter how feasible
they may be, Georgia ia ia
condition to wait their completion. The emer
gency—bread—ia npon aa, and we most go to
work, and go to work to day. We most teach
onr boy*, by precept*and exsmple, that the
great virtue of life and the necessity of the
age is to be fonnd in the trnlh of the old Latin
maxim, “ Labor omnia tineiL” The people of
Georgia sbonid never be dependent npon any
line or any system of transportation for the
meat and the bread, tho hay and the fertilizers
need npon their farms. Bach a policy will
bankrupt^ and starve ont any people in the
world. Show me the man with a fat smoke-
home and a well filled barn, and I will show
you one who ia not affected by low-prioed oot-
ton or high transportation. On the otherhand,
point me to that farmer with a lean smoke
house and in empty corn-crib, and I will show
you a miserably poor and mistaken wretch,
whose dependent and destitute condition can
never be reached by high-priced ootton, or re
lieved in any way by cheap transportation.
The truth ia, we have been betting onr bottom
dollars so long on three fatal cards, called
“credit,” “eottor," and “caterpillar,” that
we now have nothing left us but our moles and
lands; and in seven cases ont of ten these are
pledged to some warehonae firm for snppiiea to
make this year’s crop with. And yet, in the
face of all this crouching poverty and embar
rassment, we learn from the newspapers of the
conntry that more land ia planted in cotton this
year than list, or even any year since the war.
No wonder, then, that we should be crying out
for more transportation.
Fifteen years ago, when I first commenced
the produce business in Mscon, my little orders
for grain and meat seldom went farther west
than the fertile hills of Cherokee Georgia, and
the narrow valleys in East Tennessee, f bad
time then to write and send letters for these
supplies and wait the return of quotations be
fore baying. I, with other merchants, pur
chased there, at onr leisure, all that was neces
sary to supply the wants of Middle and South
western Georgia. Now we send onr immense
orders by telegrsphio wires to the rich fields and
broad plains of Illinois and Missouri; and if,
by any chance or ill Icck, a railroad bridge is
barned or a transfer boat is sank and a little
blockade ocean en route, a panic ensnes and a
meat, bread and hey famine at once threatens
every man and beast sonth of Chattanooga.
This ia onr miserably poor and helpless condi
tion to-day—fearful and unreasonable as It may
appear to outsiders. Bat that annn&l deficiency
of fifty millions of bushels of grain in the fonr
States of Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Sonth
Carolina, commented npon so gravely by the
late Canal Convention in Atlanta, tells the whole
story. We have suddenly awakened, as it were,
from a deep sleep and discovered the unwel
come fact that we are a poor, thriftless non-
prodccing, all consuming, dependent people.
And joat so long as the farmers and planters of
Georgia panne their preBent mad polioy of bny-
ing fertilizers to make cotton to bny corn, beoon
tr,,i bay a::L, i>: d pay two per cent, a
month for money from April to November of
each year to ran thia wild schedule, joat so long
will they be pitiable beggars and borrowers at
the doors of transportation offices and Georgia
shaving shops, provided a worse fate does sot
speedily overtake them.
The troth is, the whole conntry has become
one common counting room and hnge gambling
shop. What we once did with the axe and the
boe, the plowshare and the reaping hook, we
now seek to accomplish by strategy and chance,
oredit and speculation. And we moat, sooner
or later, ocme back to first principles or we
mnat perish. We have too many able-bodied
yonng men in shady plaoes; too mnoh tape cat
ting and pin selling and too little cotton chop
ping and bay curing; too many yard sticks
thrown aronnd loose on smooth-top connterB
and not enongb boe-handles and plow-Btocka;
too many law-books and lager beer barrels in
propoition to the rail-splitting and ditch dig
ging; too mnch foolish fashion and foppery,
and not ODoegh sledge- hammers and saw-horses
—in n word, too mnch wholesale idleness.
Georgia has to-day, bnried in the rich bosom
of her varied soil and precious mineral beds,
greater wealth and grander results than can
over bo worked out by canal projects or
Congressional enterprises. And bow is it to
bs done 2 Not by dreamy theories and myth
ical plana, bnt in talking corn instead of canal
—in diversifying and developing car own vast
resources—in writing more abont homo effort
and less about foreign immigration—in plant
ing Ieaa cotton and uiannfaciuring more yarns.
In this, and this only, lies tho great secret of
Georgia snocess—agncnltnral as well as finan
cial andoommerciah We are immensely rich in
resources bnt miserably poor in the handling of
them. What we want ia work—honest, hard-
fisted, intelligent, well-directed toil, labor and
application in developing and utilizing what we
have here at home rather than so many spas
modic efforts to bring from abroad that which
we should not buy. Oor poveny, like onr
pride, ia the result of misapprehensions and
m'Btaken ideas of onraelvea, ot onr conntry
and of each other. The abolition of slavery in
the Sonth has developed a Tail world of sickly,
sentimental, lazy, indolent, stopified, Inert
and unapt population—a population of young
and middlo-nged men, some of whom have
known better days. These men pat on old
store clothes, bang around dirty grogshops and
dingy hotels, rmako eheap segars and drink
mean whisky, affect old habits and anti-war
style, talk politios a little and enrse destiny and
free uegroea more, fret and fame over the re
sult of the late war, write and sign np mort
gage liens on their cotton orops before tOey are
planted, pay two per cant interest on money
for nino months in the year and then promise
to pay annually in the fall more money por acre
for commercial manures to rostter over their
lands than some of them originally cost.
■And, finally, when inattention to business and
general bad policy aod mismanagement have
brought them and their State to the extremity
of desperation—when ruin and bankruptcy Btare
ns all in the fsee—we issne proclamations, cal!
pnblio meetings. Invite distinguished gentlemen
from abroad to oome here aod sympathize with
us. We meet in banquet hall i, drink mnch cham
pagne and discharge moro gas over the grest
and absorbing qnetfions of canal schemes, Con
gressional aid and ohcap transportation, than
was ever expended by onr forefathers in dis
cussing tho Declaration of American Indepen
dence. And what does it avail? Will these
idle and extravagant demonstrations ever work
ont the great problem of Georgia independence?
No! Never until labor becomes popular will
money get easy. Never, until-we feed fancy
leas, and learn to fatten chickens and hcgi
more, will want disappear and plenty step in.
When those plain secrets of life shall have been
learned, when the wild mania for speculation
shall have departed from onr farm houses and
plantations, when onr planters shall lerrn from
experience to abandon Wall street brokets and
ii. i/ninvno ” nrptmn tn rlpal inQffi di-
“cotton futures," and erme to deal more di
rectly in tho productions of square little “spote”
of potatoes and corn, when agriculture shall
become the rulirg feature and controlling inter
est in our State—then, and not until then, will
we become aa independent, prospsrons and
happy people. And wo have here in Georgia
all tho elements necessary to thia great end.
Here God has blessed us with everything essen
tial to the prosperity and growth of man or
beast, if only worked ont Everything, from
• chicken and a churn to a ootton field and a
coal bed, from a ground pea patch on the sand
hills to a gold mine in the monntains. These
are among the rich, rare and multiplied resources
of Georgia; these constitute onr strength, oor
ref age and onr power.
Think of it. farmers and planters of Middle
Georgia! Here we are, in the heart of the
Empire State, tho boasted owners of lands with
out stint, blessed with a climate and soil where
two crops of grain or two of potatoes, or one
each of pea vines and hay can be successfully
grown on tho same land the same year, and yet
we go to Baltimore to bar guano to make a lit
tle cotton to seU in New York to get money to
buy hay, oats and oorn away ont in the rich
States of Kentnoky, Indiana, Illinois and Mia
eonri. And jast so long aa we are the volunta
ry patrons ol produce deilera, heartless rings
and pampered monopolies, such as now own
and control, operate and direct onr only lines of
trade and transports!! on north, south and west,
just so long will we be fit subjects for lien-
diafts and homestead laws, mortgages end re
pudiation. The Sonth must work ont her own
independence. The remedy ia onrs, if we will
only apply it. Too often have we been beguil
ed by plausible schemes for great improve
ments and financial relief. Let us no longer be
lulled into a false security by any promises
which can be made, outside of our harvest
fields and hog pecs, our hay patches and cane
mills. It ia here we shall find it. To thia end
the State Agricultural Society throws open the
doors of .her Exposition halla, offers her pre
mium lists to the public, and invites competi
tion from every section of the oountry.
It may sometimes suit the interest of small
politicians to excite sectional antagonism! in the
State; but no snch petty jealousy ia to be fonnd
in the heads and hearts ot those engaged in the
industrial pursuits. All are expected at the
Fair in October. Macon unites with the State
Agricultural Society in a oordial invitation to
every county in the State to be represented. It
will impart new life, viger and energy to eTsry
industry; it will disseminate knowledge and
culture among the great masses of the people;
it will kindle a lofty emulation among the work
ing classes; it will present one vast field for
testing theories and trying oonctnsioas; itwiU
cement us, as a people, in the bonds of frater
nal nnion, and none shonld be deterred from
fear of defeat—for the triumph of one wUl be
the triumph of all, and there will be no rejoicing
over any defeat.
From the ladies we expect mnch—yes, almost
everything. Without their kindly aid and han
diwork we shall have no Floral Hall, and with
out that pleasing feature in perfection the Fair
can never be a grand snooees. The good women
of oar oountry saved us here two years ago—
without their timely efforts tho Fair of 1871
wou'd have been an immense failure. Their
hearty cooperation now is all we want to insure
snooest. . _ , .
Let ns then unite in one mighty effort to
throw together, in ono common display, the
grand and aggregate specimen reaouroea of our
proad old commonwealth. lot it be snch an

From the London Saturday Be view ]
Whatever tbe B*rong minded sisterhood m*y
say, marriage is the great object of moat wo
men’s lives, their chief thought when they are
young, their grea’eat regret, if missed, when
they are old. Almost all women of normal
he&lihy development desire to be wives and
mothers, and feel th&t the best of life has been
foregone if fate and circumstance have forbid
den it. It is a truism to say that the world
Ou!d not go cn eUe; and there is no re&fl->n to
be ashamed of the fact or its avowal. There
ia more need to be ashamed of ita denial,
representing aa thi.s does the absence of some
of the nobleet and tendereet qualities of
womanhood, which yet have to be kept in
hand until the fitting mgment has arrived. Ne
gation and con’rol, howevej, are different thing*.
The questions, then, with those who have what
the world calls “chance*,” ie not, save in rare
exceptional cases, Shall I refuse them all ? bnt,
Which shall I take ? It ia a grave question, as
every woman knows who has at the Bame time
a bona f*U lover of a goed^ind and a potential
hanger-on of a better; and it is a question in
which soul and een-e, prudence and passion,
the lovely dreams of romance and the greatest
chance of practical proeaio happiness seldom
nnite. Many girls, chii ily family favorites and
considered pretty in their circle, in which opin
ion tbiy themselves concur, but also some who
are neither, rtfase all sorts of fair-seeming of
fers out of tbe pure unreason of youth and for
the e&ke of the dazz'icg possibilities of the fu
ture. They do not know how many golden
balls, ever so murh bigger and richer than this,
may not be thrown at their feet; and they re
ject the actual and living man who would really
make them very happy if they would only think
so,waiticg for that apocryphal Prince Pretty man
who never comes. They are dimly conscious
too that when a woman gives herself in mar
riage she has lost her present form of intoxica
ting supremacy, though by taot and temper she
may gain another of a moro sober and durable
kind. The courting time is her time of queen
hood; and so long as she k*eps from uttering
that fatal Yes, f he is mistress of the situation,
as tbe one who has to decide for the misery or
happiness of both, and who can confer a favor
and grant a prayer. Naturally she is anxious to
prolong her sovereignty, knowing that when she
marries she sink* from a queen into a slave,
and that the lover who fawned upon her as
humbly as a dog becomes her master, more or
le-s severe, aa soon as the law makes him her
husband. All girls feel this; and those among
them who havo most of what is called maidenly
pride in their intuitive knowledge of what their
self-surrender means, half nuoonscionsly, half
cocsoion.-ly, prolong that moment of surrender
as any one else would delay any action by which
power was lost though, in a sense, security was
gained. This is one reason why girls with
chances hesitate, and why they are sometimes
so long in making np their minds that the
chances pass them by, and leave them stranded
for the remainder of thsir days.
Another reason of their delay is Prince Pret*
lyman. There are women who are always wait
ing for the coming of tne Prince, like the high
born maidens in tie palace towers of romance
ard fairyland, and who will be content with
nothing le. s than thorr idea! realizsd. Nobody
is good enongh for iqem; and their friends
state at the infatuation which led them to re*
fase such suitable, each excellent offers, for no
one knows what reason. fcSoiith is one of the
aspirants. He is really a very good fellow,
with a nice present income, fair prospects, and
no hereditary disease that the world knows of.
To be fame he is no Rothschild; and his Bharp-
featured mother, wita hia tribe of busy maiden
sisters and inda&trioos brother*, do cot take
rank among lha idealities of the hnman race.
But, 60 far as he himself goes, you might find
many a worse man, it some better; and Olor-
mda would not do am is-a if she chose him.
Clorinda x< j -tets him. She is wailing for Prince
Prettyman—Prince Prettyman, wno has no
bharp-featnred old mother with strict notions
abont Sundays and chignons, no bnsy xniiden
sisters who talk three at a time, and who would
consider her house, her maids, and her babies
as much theirs as her own, no industrious broth
ers of all Horts of queer professions, and no
amonnt of ‘atyle.’ {Smith’s mocm s and prospects
and good condition generally are not suiBrient
for her, penniltsj as she is. sShe must have per
fection all ronnd — Prince Prettymsn, and
never a fliw m his circumstances, personal or
relativo. The consequence of which is that at
forty she subsists on charitable coutribntions
from her friends, and music lessons when she
can get pupils. Brown comes to the front, and
lays siege to tho fair Amanda’s heart as
Smith bad done to Clormd&’s. He gratifies
her remantio aspirations as little as in the
other case. He is &3 worthy a fellow as ever
(topped; and ho, too, has enoagn a»a to epare
for comfort. He would bo a quiet placdble
kind of husband, who would use his latchkey
with discretion, anil not make her temper bad
by tbe scurnefaS of his own. He wonld not
philander after pretty woman abroad, and he
wonld not rage in the sanctuary at home. He
would give her a liberal allowance for pins and
housekeeping; and he would take the boys off
her hands at holiday lime, and be generally
willing to save her both trouble and annoyance.
Bnt with all these slices of solid pudding he is
not Prince Prettyman; consequently he is no
where in the running. H s eyes are small, his
nose composes badly in a phoiogrsph, his voice
is unraelodions, and hi3 bands are uncomforta
ble abont the joints. Nevertheless, small eyes,
a mean nose, and uncomfortably articulated
hands, united with a good heme life and a kind
husband, are better than beauty and a bad heart,
rsDtnre in tho honeymoon and repentance ever
after Yet Amanda, like ber sister, refnsas
honest, homely Brown in favor of the beautiful
Prince over tho boos ; and the chances are so
many as to make a certainty that the Prince will
never cross tho3e seas at al‘, and that Amanda
too will go husbandless through life becanso of
the tinsel picture which romance had drawn on
her young soul, and which there was not enough
common senso about her to rnb out; or per
chance. worse still, she will end with marrying
Brown’d clerk, who has every disadvantage his
master bad, and nothing of nis compensations.
Prince Prettjman has many impersonations—
as many as there are silly girls who waitfor him.
With some it is absolutely neesasary that he
should bo in the army. The glitter of epau
lets and the jingle of spurs are worth any
amonnt of stupid, civilian, workaday virtues,
and nothing bat a well-set np cavalry officer
can get a hearing from the garrison belles who
have learnt bnt one litany of love. With
others a man whoso soul is devoted to dogs
and horses is the only kiad of person who car
ries Prince Pretiyman’a credentials. Talk of
a well-conditioned city merchant, with a
sprinkling of gray hairs and suspicious tracts
of shining scalp, or of a rising young profes
sional who could as soon mount a camel as a
horse, to thoio sweet creatures whose fancy
paints the gallant hussar or the fast young
sqnire—talk of fidelity, tenderness, truth, and
ttie like, without dash, without personal beau
ty, without the glittering insignia cf Prinoe
Prettyman—and you talk to the deaf. They
have their ideal man and their ideal oondi
tions, and nothing short of either will be ac
cepted. A beautiful young painter or poet,
with soft eyes and a silvery voice, well np in
the religion cf art and cultivated to the higne6t
point in icjthetics, is Prince Prettyman to one.
This is in all probability the kind which talks
of the union of souls and forgets the butcher’i
bill. It Is a way both he and hia admirers have;
the debasing considerations of filthy lucre chill
ing the ardor of the soul in & remaxkable man-
ner. It ia a pity that tne tax gatherer should be
so obdurate; and that Prince Prettyman, sail
ing over the silver sea of creative fancy, should
be brought np every now and then witti a ronnd
turn to the barren stake of poverty, or grounded
on the grating shallows of domestio bills with no

well aa its poetic beauties, and false hopes, false

cornea with anch crnel certainty on tbe heels ot
the love-sick and unsuitable marriage a bless
ing to be desired. Beauty fades, piasion cco's,

In domestio bad language when the pot is empty
of pndding and half a dexen children swarm
about the musty lodgings or dingy quarters to
which love and folly have reduced the gay lieu

Pretlyman is a dangerous fellow either to get
or to wait for, having the trick of nnsnbstan-
tiality throughout. Romantic girls wonld do
well to redec! that, if they are to have only one
gown in a lifetime, they had better bay one that

Mew Engle.d end the South.
From the Christian Observer. J
It ia the strictly received opinion in certain
quarters that when the Senth haa improved in
religion and morality tip to the New England
standard, a wonderful revolution will have
passed over the character and lives of the South*-
era people. It is assumed that gambling,
drinking, and duelling make up a large share
of Southern life. Ita people are supposed to
be given over to horse-racing, card-playing,
chicken-fighting and other abominations; the
pistol and bowie-knife are considered emblems
i f the character of the people; while the
church and. the school-house are accepted as
representatives of the moral and religious States
of New England. The New York “ World”
calls attention to certain facts brought to light
by the census of 1870, which do not harmonize
with this theory, so pleasing to onr Northern
friends. The following, for instance, discovers
the fact that the New England States, in point
of churches, are far behind the older South
ern States. The six New England States
have a white popnlr.tion of 3,445,043. These
are furnished with 5,421 churches, containing
2,202,677 sittings. The States of Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Car
olina, South Carolina, and Georgia, with
white population of_ 3,440,903, have 11,567
churches, containing sittings for 3,660.984 per
sons. When the churches of New England
look over the map of the world to select a field
for their missionary labors, they turn instinct
ively toward the "benighted South, which al
ready has more than double the number of
churches that New England has built for her
own people. Tne-churches in- these Southern
States provide sittings equal to the entire popu
lation, while New England has over a million of
inhabitants for whom no provision whatever has
been made. These same New England States
return 12,673 paupers, or one in CTety 217;
and 2,097 criminals, or one in 1,330; while
the white-population of these same Southern
States return 7,062 paupers, or only one in ev
ery 46S, and 1,174 criminals, or one in every
2,816. Here, again, the balance is decidedly iu
favor of the South. From the same source we
learn that among negroes in the South there is
one pauper in each 656, and one criminal
in each 716 of their number; while among
the negroes of the North there is one pauper
in 143, and one criminal in each 204
of their number. From these figures we
may conclude that the moral influences
surrounding the colored people in tho South,
and the religious privileges provided for them,
are far better than those which surround their
race in theNorth. If figures will not lie, then
our friends in the North will have to recon
struct their estimate of Southern character,
and the church-going people of New England
must provide missionaries and church accomo
dations for over a million of her own people,
before they can resume their former tone when
speaking of the moral degradation of their
Southern neighbors.
effects to meet them. A high-class diplomatic
looking person is the hero of one yonng maiden
who has ideas; and she will accept no offer,
however eligible, if the maker thereof stands
below six feet, is rotund in body, and of on in-
diocriminate kind of social position. So it goes
on: Frinoe Prettyman, whatever his speeiel
form, always looming in the horizon, always
being waited for, and in the majority of cases
neverooming.
It is a complaint aa old aa man, that we only
knew how to live when we have done with life.
The saying is essentially true of marriage end
of the right kind of person to choose. Girls of
romantic tendeneies think they ought not to
merry unless with the most passionate furore of
lore. They do not know that respeef and oom-
patibtlity of temper are better a ore ties for a
happy life than a passion which moat in time
wear itself oat, however strong it may be now,
and of which the best hope is that it may be-
oome friendship. Good plain common sense
men, who wonld make excellent husbands bnt
are nothing to look at, ate refused by certain
of the feather-headed, in favor of a dream that
will never be realized, a fancy that has no more
subs tan oe than a soap-bubble. Or personal
worth ia refused for mere wealth, quite as often
u for penniiess'romanoe. The man of a girl’s
fancy u too handsome to be a traitor, a rone,
weak, or of so wayward a temper that her life, if
she monies him, will be simply a tortus. She is
sore of hi«n, she aaya indignantly when stony
hearted wisdom points out his petett flaws, and
experienoe preaches caution and renunciation.
She knows that love will not fly oat of her win
dow when poverty stalks in at the door; or she
does not believe he ia a rone now, whatever the
evidence. And even if he is, she oomforts her
self with the sensible re dsction that a reformed
rake makes notoriously the best husband; and
no woman is proof against the seduction of re
forming tne man she ioves, and bringing him to
virtue by means of her Wiles. She is in love,
und she believes that her lore ia eternal. Pretty
girls of poor oirenmsUneao, and belonging to
Urge families whom it would be an lncalc.ilahle
relief to get well settled, have been known to re
fuse eligible offer* from good men because of
this fancy of theirs about Prinoe Prettyman,
Tbe Cbuniplonshlp of the United
States.
Mr. Gilman, in one of his recent letters to
the Richmond Whig, says:
“I notice in the papers all sorts of contests
for the championship of the United States,”
many of which inflict hardships on the contes
tant and do great harm to the morals of specta
tors. I hear of a novel and interesting one,
however, to come off near Glymont, on the Po
tomac, at 12 o’clock July 4th. Two men I am
informed, who on that day, for a wager of $250,
wiU decide who is the champion cat-fish chow
der eater of this land of liberty. They rejoice
in the names of Fatty George Sprigg and “Pig”
WoOdford. At a trial on Friday last of their
capacity of putting away fish-stew, the former
ate two washing tub3 full, and the latter went
ahead of him by the contents of a miik-piggin.
They expect to he able, I hear, to dispose of
u '.“ a Sf rel ? r u 7* “avory truck by the day of
trial. The chowder is to he tuaot^ .««l.,.ively
of channel cats, because what are known as mud
cats, lay heavily on the stomach. The bets are
five to four on “ Fatty,” who, last winter one
day, for lunch, actually ate four bushels of
Cherrystone oysters raw. As fish eating, we are
told, improves the brain, the laudable species of
rivalry ought to be encouraged by the friends
of intellectual development. Why not close
Harvard and Yale, for instance, “with chowder
eating on the campus by picked gormandizers
from the Dolphin and Lobster clubs.
Detboit has what it calls a funny man. An
old man named Gregg, who mend3 furniture
for a living, was sitting in his shop recently,
when a stranger entered and asked the loan of
a dollar. Gre"g bounded at the impudence ol
the request and the stranger began laughing up
roariously and shut and bolted the door. The
stranger then took off his coat, rolled up his
ulcevei, and stepped up and seized Gregg by the
hair and lifted him up a foot or so. Gregg at
tempted to call in the police, but the funny man
seized him by the throat and nearly choked him
to death. “Why don’t you laugh ?” said the
stranger, Baying which he began to twig his
nose. A stair rod then came into requisition,
Gregg being constantly requested to laugh.
Seeing that his life was in danger he did laugh,
but it was not a hearty laugh, and accordingly
the stranger began hitting at his feet with a
hatchet. A pair of shears was then procured
and the man began cutting off his hair until his
victim was left bald. He then cut off the man’s
whiskera and tickled his feet with an old curry
comb, threatening to stab Gregg if he mado any
alarm. Growing tired at last, the stranger said he
guessed he would go. He was not in need of any
money, he said, hut he liked to meet a man who
could appreciate fun, and he went out. Tne car
penter was alive at last accounts, but the funny
man is still at large. It is thought that the case
is one of emotional insanity.
Is the city of Chicago there are 2,300 li
censed places for the retail of liquor. Adding
to these the various other places where liquor
is sold and drank on the premises, and which
pay no license, the aggregate number may be
fairly stated at 2,500. Assuming the total pop
ulation at 350,000, this furnishes one saloon for
each 140 persons of all age3 in that city. These
2,500 saloons support many families, pay large
rents and employ expensive help. Estimating
their annual average profits from the sale of
liquors of all kinds at the moderate sum of
$3,000 each, the aggregate profit annually is
$7,500,000. There has been at all times a war
made upon the use of intoxicating drinks, but
no legislation has ever been effectual in break
ing up its use. Under these circumstances,
would it not be a wise policy on the part of
those whoso zealously devote themselves to the
extirpation of intemperance, to apply some of
their energy to the correction of the great
frauds and injnries done by the sale of poisoned
decoctions under the name of liquor which are
really nine-tenths of all that is consumed ?

The proprietors avail themselves of the
lull in advertising to present their claims
again to the public. Nothing within the
range of our ability is omitted to make
the Tzlegraph AttD Messenger In all
its editions acceptable to the reader. As
a vehicle of tho earliest news on all cur
rent topics— and of careful and candid
exposition, we concede no superior in this
State.
In point «f circulation in the range of
the country trading with Macon, tho dif
ferent editions of tho paper are far be
yond competition. They literally per
vade the Central and Southwestern coun
ties of Georgia—addressing and inform

No business man of Macon can afford
to be without the use of these columns
as an advertising medium. No one abroad
seeking a market for any commodity in
this region can intelligently dispense with
their aid in facilitating that object.
For successive generations these two
papers, united for the past three years in
one, have commanded this great field of
circulation, and their hold on the public
confidence has never been disturbed or
interrupted. We are to-day with a largbr
cash paid circulation than ever before,
and we hope to go on increasing with the
progress of the country. We do not say
it is the “largest circulation,” but within
our proper field—where we can carry the
