THU BSD IT MORNING. AUGUST 7. 1873.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
Ed
ttil
t Telegraph andMessenger:—Lut night
t Methodist Church van jammed to bear
ihe - raioa of JXiv. Dr. Dixon, before the
Y *a»K Men's Cbrintain Association of the Uni*
\* i*ny. Much was expected and mnch was re
ceived. His text was Job xxl—15. “What
profit should vr* bavo if we pray nnto him,”
and the leading idea of the whole disconre was
the profitableness of religion, bolding, first,
that Bo man can have a Christian view of God
withoot being enobled—that the intellectual
idea of God is a great idea. Yon tell me that
acme Teliglons men are intellectually small.
Yon say it I bear you—I believe yoa. Bat
will you tell me what they would have been
without religion ? You tell me that men of in
tellectual resources, who bave distinguished
themselves, are irreligious. You say St. I be
lieve it. But bow much greater would they
have been with religion? Neither of these
touch the question. The charge is made that
church members are inconsistent. Tia true.
Bat it is not Jhe religion that is to blame, but
onrselvcs. Tis by c.oaing our vision to facts
that we imagine that we have removed the
cause. Tla not religion that is to be blamed,
but the want of it. I know there are men who
disgrace the name they bear. We should not
blamo the name, but the man.
lathe next pLce, it Is always profitable to
base life on faith. Faith is the truest real za
tion of hope. Never was marvel done on earth,
hat in was done of faith. We cannot get rid of
religion till we do of faith. Standing amid the
grand old rocks of Britain, which stand as the
tombstones cf ages, there I sco great things
written. Bat upon those rocks there oomes a
vulgar crowd, who see nothing. They were
right, for they were out of their sphere. The
man of most faith, is tho man of most energy,
will do the most. This is a law of life.
I know what worldly minded men say of our
infirmities. Blame ns—lay not a Auger on the
Hon of God. When we are so charged, say
•‘you are right,” not “so sre yon,” for that is a
coward's answer. The holier a man is, the less
inclined is ho to abow himself as a model. When
did the Son of God ever interfere with oomforts
of A family. I bave hopes of any man who
thinks, for he has life, but ho is dead who has
no question to ask.
Toe whole sermon was finished and Bbowed
wbat boundless resources were at the oommand
of tho speaker.
To-day (Monday) there came eff the Sopho
more pnzi declamation. When FranMin Ool-
lego became a university this feature of com
mencement was Abolished, but the friends of
oollego boys will bo glad to know that it is re
commenced.
II. G. Dickinson, Albany—Antony's oration
over Cxeiar, was spoken well and in a dignified
manner.
H. H. Gordon, Atlanta—Parrhaaias and the
Captive, while speaking rather low, delivered
it iu a very happy style.
J. T. Graves, Albany—Iriah Aliens, was
given np by a majority of all I have heard ex
press themselves, to be the best decUimer on
the stage, lie very happily alluded in his doo*
laroation by gesticulation to General J. B. Gor
don as tho gallant soldier. Graves is rather a
email boy, bnt one of the brightest intellects in
college.
J. J. Hill, Washington—Destruction of
Pompeii; F. M. Kidiey, LaGrango—A. II.
Stephens on Centralization; W. W. Btnrges,
Waynesboro-— Kegnlns to the Iloman Senate;
T. 0. Walton, Augusta—Webster on Harder;
and L. Warren, Americas—Kegnlns to Oartha
geulans, acquitted themselves well.
W. 8. Johnson, Jones county, spoko cx
ce6dingly well, and if a second medal is given
stands a good chADOO for iL J. W. Deafer, Ma
rietta, spoke rather indistinctly. F. II. Wil
bnrn, Athens, is too weakly built to deolaim
extracts from Hod. B. IL Ilill. J. T. Pow,
Madison, Sat sn and Death, delivered some parts
exceedingly creditably. P. A. Stovall, Augusta,
was tho most dignified, and at tho same time
easy speaker. T. P. Vincent, Athens, spoko
indistinctly on Aooonnt of his voice. The dec
lamation, rs a whole, was good, and the youDg
speakers very dignified and graceful, acd wonld
have acquitted themselves bettor had the and!
once giver: them tho proper attention, for thero
was moro speaking off tho stage than on it.
At 6 o'clock tho chapel was well filled :o hear
Hon. A. H. Stephens as Literary Orator of the
two societies. Being too feeble to stind he
read his speech, sitting. Taking Junius for his
Bnbjeot, ho said that he wonld deal more with
the character of the lottors than with their
anthor. I shall not attempt to comment on if.
further than to say that the introduction (oif
the Author) was twico as long as the body of the
speech. I do not comment beoause the Phi
Kappa 8oeIety is going to have it pnbliahed
ututerttand. He had a very attentive audience
at first, bnt rain beginning to fall, the tongues
of the Assembly were loosened and conversation
followed.
I soo Key. Dr. Pierce on the stage this even
ing for the first time. Gov. Jenkins, Gov.
Brown, Bishops Fierce and Beckwith, Hon. H.
W. Hilliard, and other prominent men also
there.
To-night the Demoatbenian Sooioly takes
place; atso tho students' annnal ball. To-mor
row is alumni day—moro then.
A Hem Ckaae la Dtabary.
Mr. Oobleigh, ot Nelson street, bought three
bent Saturday night aad put them under a box
until be could baild a coop. Sunday morning
ht aaw one of them in the amt, and bestowing
a brief cane on the ecmebody who bed over
turned the box and jeopardiz-d his property,
he started oot after it to drive it hack into the
yard. It took fifteen minute* to oonvince bim
that that ben could not be driven into that yard,
aud then be attempted to catch if. Three times
be roee up with h;s hands full of feathers and
h s chin full of aand, but atill that hen eluded
him. Oooe he got it oornered, and thought
*nre be had it, bat it fl»w straight np over his
be.»d and flipped us wings in his face and filled
his eyes with dust. Oh, how mad tSx. Cobleigh
wag. It was Sunday morning. The bells were
ringing, people were starting to church, acd
there he was In the street, with no ooet or hat
on, and with nothing bnt slippers on his feet,
and every onoein a while one of them wonld
ccrae off and fif through the air, and h
naked foot wonld or. me in contact with
the cruel gravel, before he could stop
bimaelf. Then he wonld have to hop Lack
on one foot after that slipper, while the hen
iitood on the walk and elocuted, And the
little Saod«y-schooI children stopped aad
laughed, and their parents reproved them and
laughed, too. Finally, the ben got away from
him and start* d down the street at a wonderful
speed for a hen, and be started after her, his
faoe redder than ever, and every time he cleared
a rod he would stop and bop back two after one
ot those slippers. When he reached the corner
of Essex street, be jumped out of both slippers
at once, bnt instead of stopping to go back, he
picked up a stick of wood, and kept on. Then t
as the hen dodged into a gateway be hurled the
Htick, and broke the leg of a strange dog, which
added its piercing “ki-ji” to the entertainment.
But Cobleigh didn't stop. He tore into the
yard after his property in his bare feet, and
chased the hen into a woodpile and caught it,
just as the owner of the premises came oat and
winted to know what Cobleigh wt s going to do
with JUe hen, and wbat he meant, any way, by
getting drunk acd kicking np each a hullabaloo
in a peaceful neighborhood. Cobleigh first
thought he wonld knock the man down with an
are, and what he could not eat of him bury an
der a barn, but the new oomer succeeded in
proving to Cobleigh that the hen was his, and
then the miserable man burst into tears and
limped back home, where he found the three
beus nnder the box.— Danbury Metes.
Jones County Agricultural Club*
ArarsT 2,1873.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: After
pleasant drive of several milos, meandering
through the oorn and cotton fields of npper
Jones, we arrivod at the headquarters of the
above excellent dub, where provlous prepara
tions had been mado for n good old-timo social
barboouo given by the club, where the ingath
ering tillers of the soil were united with but
one sentiment in spreading peace and plenty
o'er a smiling land. 'Xwas here we fonnd the
good citizens of Jones, joined by some friends
from Putnam and Jasper, gathered in no small
number, and chatting in various groups cf old
and young—proportionately composed of the
beautiful and fair, and a pparently regardless of
all the world outside this social gathering.
Aftv a few moments, and ninch to tho satisfac
tion of the assembly,' Capt. Orrio Tufts was
called out and entertained the audience in a
abort and pithy address upon agriculture, mode
np with strong, practicable ideas of the doty
and interest to which honest farmers should
awaken.
Captain R. W. Bonner was then introduced
as tho orator of the day, and delivered, at some
length, an address worthy- tho occasion and
charaoteriatio of that gentleman, replete with
sound logic and filled with ideas of interest
which carried ns back to the palmy days in the
original foundation of agrionhnre, and brought
us up to the present prodigal age. with a strik
ing contrast “between a splendid, and a happy
land.”
Dinner was announced, and, totto enjoyment
of all, “smiling plenty strewed the land." The
day passed qnlelly away, and all seemed to
return homeward impressed with the pleasures
of A day Jong to bo remembered and cherished.
The Jones Connty Clnb, cow in a flourishing
condition, with such gentlemen as Tufts, Bjr-
ron, MHr.shj.1! and others at its head, can but
spread its good effect throughout the land.
Crops, with an occasional exoention, are good.
No oaterpiil&r in Jones. Yours,
Rubtic.

Mr. Henry Wstterson must bo a perplexing
problem to su-'h Englishman as see the Louis
ville Courier-Journal. Fancy tho typical John
Bull engaged in the study of the following neat
and comprehensive bit of prophecy:
Yet notwithstanding all these sources of bed
blood, there exists many agreeable ties of a per
sonal description, and. as England cannot af
ford to quarrel, hbo has puree ed a course of
pradeui dissimulation toward* us; so we get on
measurably, and, perhaps, may never come to
blows. They bad better not.
It is written in the book of fate that before
Lord Macaulay's prophetic heathen sits on Lon-
din bridge and survey* the ruins of St. Paul's,
the Stars and Stripes shall wave above the
Tower, while the Prussians, remembering old
Blnober s observation, stuff their pockets with
the ill got gold of Lombard street, and disport
themselves amid the fineries of Belgravia ard
May Fair. I am sure, for my part, that I do
not want to see a brigade of my colored fellow
countrymen quartered in Buckingham Palace,
though if reports be. sroe they oonld do
no worse damage than its last cccnpants.
Neither should I be glad to have Westminster
Abbey improvised into a Methodist Church for
the temporary accommodation of Billy Wilson
and his pions Zonsves. Bat stranger thing*
have happened. I admit thAt England is at
this moment rich and strong. I admit that her
Aristocracy were never more powerful. Bat,
making these admissions, I believe that there
runs beneath the fabric of England a stealthy,
unseen current whioh is rotting away the foun
dations of everything. The E«ftb!isbed Church
in England has gone. The suffrage has been
