Ben had hie score there, but to get his pay was more than Mr* B. was equal to. One day Beu made his appearance with a bag and a wheelbarrow. “>lr. Bond, I want to buy two bushels of corn, aud I want to pay the cash tor it. “Very well,” said B. And they both go up stairs, aud B. puts up the corn, and Ben takes it down, while Mr. B. stops to close up his windows. When he got down, he aaw old Beu some distance from the door, making for home. “Halloo, Ben, you said you wan ted "to pay the cash for that corn. Old Ben sat down on the handle of his barrow, and cocking his head on one side, said, “That’s all true Mr. B-; I do want to pay the cash for the corn, but I can’t. COTTOXT STATUS Laud and Immigration Company, ATHENS, GA. The Agency of this Company has been organized to furnish a reliable medium by which our people may, at the smallest outlay in cash, obtain thorough labor of all kind*, viz: Farm laborer*, Gardeners Shepherds, Domestics, Hostlers, Seamstresses, Rail road Laborers, Miners, Mechanics. Factory Hands,Ac. as well as to sell lands to foreign farmers, aud to sup ply Tenants. Our Agents are by long and successful experience qualified to obtain the most competent labor from Eu rope, They are intimately acquainted with our wants in this respect, and, being residents of the South, and in every respect identified with our people, will, in the interest of the country and its future development, take the utmost care in filling the orders with which they are entrusted. Our General Foreign Agent, Col. Frank Sehaller, an officer in the Confederate States Army during the war, is fuily acquaiuted with the characteristic* of for eign emigration, and having lived at the South for tbe last seventeen year*, is no less cognizant of the labor which will suit our people. During the years 1868— 1871 he acted as the General State Agent of Iiumi- £ ration of Virginia, and was eminently successful in lying for that State the basis for a substantial immi gration. Col. Schuller will personally fill in Europe all orders received by the Company. Our General Agent at Athens, Captain H. H. Carl ton, known throughout the South as Captain of Artil lery in General L-e’s army, will be permanently loca ted and conduct the business of the Agency at Athens, acting a* receiving and disbursing agent of the Cum- pany. Our General Traveling Agent, Dr. Edwin D. New tou, late Surgeon in General Lee’s army, who has for several years boen laboring so earnestly iu behalf of 1 he agricultural interest of the State of Georgia, will personally solicit orders throughout the country, make c.ntracts and g-ve receipts- l.nbsr ef all kind., as mentioned above, we order by steamer or sailing vessel. The cost per sail ing vessel is twenty dollars less than by steamer; this passage-money advanced being gradually deducted from the wages contracted for- Persons desiring la borers for this or next year, will please forward their orders at once. Small orders tor immediate labor can only be filled by steamer. Due notice will be given to all onr customers when the labor ordered will reach Savannah Tbe Csslrscl with the party engaged is always made in Europe, agreeably to the terms mutually agreed upon between agent and contractor. These contracts are mads fully biuding, in the mauuer by us to be indicated. We shall, whenever desired, endeav or to make contracts for a term of two years. Tenant, are brought out in the same manner as laborers, and an additional charge of ten dollars per tenant is made, if the landholder advances the passage money. If tenants, on the contrary, are sought wh-> pay their own traveling expenses, a charge of twenty- five dollars for each tenant is made by us, to be paid to us with the order. If this order canuot be filled by us we refund the money; if the tenant, after presen tation, is not accepted agreeably to the orig ua! terms of contract, the money is forfeited to us. All charges for tenants are made irrespective of the term of tenan cy agreed npon. I.asda are sold on commission; we require plat and survey, descriptions, abstract of title, aud explicit terms of sale. Nationality- While in all cases we shall endeav or to meet the wishes of our customers in this respect, yet the labor-maiket in Europe is so constantly chang ing, and the requisite qualifications for the various kindsof labor, are so diffeient, that we desire to be left free to exercise a due discretion in our selections, to enable us to furnish the best iu tbe market, and thus subserve our joint interests. I.nngungs. Some persons, desirous of employ ieg foreign labor, yet not wishing to engage natives of the British Dies, see au obstacle inthe fact tha’ North- eru Knropeans are strangers to our language. Our ex perience leads ns to consider it an advantage lather than otherwise. A laborer unacquainted with the English language, will avoid from the first such asso ciations aud influences as would prove injurious to ins perfect contentment, but by gradually acquiring our language he will have a better opportunity to appre ciate our character and custom* as a people, than o\e already possessing a command of our language. Ex perience has taught that but a few weeks are necessa ry for these laborers to sufficiently understaud our language to perform all duties required of them. All business of this Company will be conducted by our Agents. They will at all times take pleasure in furnishing such information as may be desired in regard to term*, contracts, manner of delivery, etc. All communications requiring au answer should be accom panied with ^postage stamp.

I.ctler from Colquitt County. Moultrie, Ga., Feb. 6, 1872. Kditort Federal Union: Some time has elapsed since my last communication, and I And if I abide by the old advice—which by the way is very good— “ never to write until you have something to wi ite,” I probably would never write again, for we scarcely ti nd enough transpiring here in a year to All a half column. We have the most quiet little villaue imaginable.— Mail occe a week. Then the sturdy farmers and old hunters of the country around come in to get the news and take a social glass or two and frequently get merry befere leaving—their lime of leaving generally being about dark; then all is quiet again until the next mail day. We are (although apparently so lifeless) looking on with great interest at the passing events, preparing to assist with ail our might this fall iu the contest be tween rotten Radicalism and true Democratic princi ples, and we are to a man opposed to the New De parture or passive policy. We want to fight under our good old Democratic banner aud gain the victory, and then we ran count on having the right kind of a government. But a truce to politics, and everything else of the kind. A certain friend ot mine (and I can not account for it either, unless he wishes to be as great a poet in the estimation of others as “ Dotty Goft” is in his) has turned poet, and sends me almost daily a few lines from his prolific pen. I will send you a specimen of his “ boultry,” as “ Oufty” would have it: MISS RUTH IE A. Dear Ruth, forgive my prating tongue ; Your beauty is so exquisite; I wish to know would it he wrong If I pay you a visit. Is it a sin for me to admire Yonr charming clear blue eye; Then to be pardoned is my desire, Or a sinner I will die. Would it be wrong your hand to take And hold it in my own 7 Oh give me an answer for my sake, Though I am to you unknown; Would it be wrong a kiss to press Upon your cherry lip, VY Idle you gave ine a sweet caress Its nectar I would sip. Would it be wrong if around your neck One arm in love be placed, YVhile the other lay caressingly Around your tender waist ? It was but once I caught yonr eye, As it threw upou me its light; Oh say dear Ruth is it possible I Interpreted that look aright. Coula love, dear girl, the meaning be, YVben you looked at me so straight ; An angel then might envy me My bliss it is so great. 1 doubt sometimes it I am rigid ; Could such bliss for me await. 1 wish my faith was lost in sight; But I’ll abide my fate. Surely your heart cannot he bard, You will pity my distress, And sometimes sigh for the absent bard, Then think of my addiess. Now, sirs, as “ Oofty” remarked, “ Y'at you tink of dat bretty goot.” The mau that can write such is rash enough to commit matrimony, and I really expect to hear before long that he has gone and done it.

The Naval Committee ol the House have agreed to report au important hill authorizing the Secretary ot the Navy to construct ten or more steam vessels ot war, cariyiug guns of large calibre, tbe hulls of the same to he built of wood or iron, as the Secretary may decide, aud appropriating three imilions of dollars for the same, in addition to any sum of money that may be realized lrom the sal* of vessels, machinery, .rd- uance or materials now at t he navy yards or naval sta tions.

The grand jury of Bibboounty paid its respects to the local reporters, in their presentments the other day, after the following fashion: As iucidantal to the transaction in courts in which minor offences are reviewed, we notice, as worthy ot reprehension, the style permitted, if not approved, in which their proceedings are too Commonly reported for the local columns of newspapers, mockery ot the ac cused, ridicule of witnesses, jesU at the officers, jocose familiarity with the Judge, aud a general trave-ty of the investigations seems to be the staple of inch pro ductions—ail couched iu the dialect of slang.

Claxton, Remsen Sc Ilaffolfiuger, 819 821 Market 8t., Philadelphia. 1872. This handsome little volume, print ed on tinted paper, and redolent of all the elegancies of the art of modern book manufacture, is one of the latest emanations from the teeming press of our friends Claxton, Remsen and Haf- felfinger. This young house has assumed the post of the most prominent among all the Northern houses lor the manufac ture of Southern books. We dare to assert that of the publications of Southern books during the last year, Claxton, Remsen and Haffelfinger have published three times as many South ern books as any other house. We have made a personal visit to their establishment, and Yve are not sur prised that this should be the case. These gentlemen Yvin patronage by deserving it. The little book before us is one pre senting not only the mechanical at tractions referred to; but its inner life, its holier soul embodied within, is full of true poetic inspiration. Yet we imagine that the efforts before us are rather the tokens of maturing and coming power than manifestations of the plenitude of the author’s abilities. The lovers of poesy will, however, be amply rewarded in the pleasure and instruction they are sure to receive for the perusal of the hatiusome volume already put forth. We trust “ Dream Life aud other Poems” may meet with the success its merit entitles it to re ceive. For the Federal Union. PAPER MAKING IN JAPAN. We presume that some of our readers, at least, are unaware of the fact that the paper of Japan is made, in consid erable part, from the bark of a tree which constitutes a very common shade tree on the streets of Milledge ville. We allude to the Paper-Mulber ry, known to botanists as the Bious- senetia papyrifera. It is a native of Japan, and other countries of the Ori ent. The February number of the unri valled old Eclectic Magazine, publish ed by E. R. Pelton, 108 Fulton St’ N. Y. contains a very interesting article on Japanese paper manufacture* W« have before us a specimen of Chinese paper (similar to the Japanese) and we must bear testimony to its exquis ite fineness and strength ef fabric. No Japauese paper is made of rags. It is manufactured from the inner bark of four trees or shrubs, of which the Paper Mulberry (or French Mul berry) so well known to us is one of the most important. Its Japanese name is Ma Kodzu. It is cultivated for the purpose, very much as we see willow cultivated in the North for basket-making ; and being gathered annually, the stalks are cut into short lengths, macerated iu water, and the inner bark finally separated from ex traneous matter. This is made into beautiful paper. The whole article, occupying several pages, is full of in terest. It may add to our pleasure in looking at this very common shade tree in our daily walks to know that so much of the paper of the hundreds of millions of inhabitants of Japan and China is made from its bark. This number of The Eclectic Maga zine contains also a fine steel engrav ing of Lord Lisgar, the present Gov ernor Geueral of Canada, a fine old Irish Lord about 65 years of age, from the county of Cavan in the Emerald Isle, with a brief biography of his Lordship attached. In addition to the foregoing, the contents embrace a great number of other articles of sur passing interest, as Church and State in Italy—Coleridge—A Persian Passion Play—Tennyson's Last Tournament—A Morning in the Tuileries—The Kembles, &c. &e. Are our readers aware that one of tbe Kembles, a beautiful and accomplished lady recently married in England, is a resident of our Georgian sea-coast i W« G. M. From the Manual and Biographical Register of Geor gia for 1872, by A. St. Clair-Abram*. HOLME OV REPRESENT ATI VES. HON. ELI S. GRIFFIN. The subject of this sketch is one of the very few members of the present Assembly whose legislative careers an tedate the beginning of the late war. He was born in Twiggs county on the 27th of September, 1S28, was educa ted at private schools, and has always been engaged in agricultural pursuits. He entered into active political life when quite a young man, as a member of the Democratic party aud, iu 1S51, was elected Sheriff of his coun ty. This office he held with credit a- bout one year, when he resigued it, having been elected a member of the State Legislature. For eight consecu tive years, beginning in 1853 and end ing in 1860, Col. Griffin represented Twiggs county in the Assembly, hav ing been thrice re-elected during that period. The mark of confidence thus reposed in him by his constituents vras well merited, as he served them with ability, and made one of the most effi cient members. When the movement began for Southern Independence he gave it an enahusiastic support. Ear ly in 1S61 he entered the Confederate army as a Captain in the Twenty-sixth Georgia Infantry, and, on the organiza tion of his regiment was elected its Major* Holding this rank he went to Virginia, where he served under Stone wall Jackson, and participated with gallantry in the Seven Days Battles be fore Richmond, soon after he was pro moted to Lieutenant-Colonel. In this capacity, Colonel Griffin took part in all the campaigns of Lee’s army until the second battle of Manassas, when, being severely wounded, he was inca pacitated forfurther serviceiu the field, and compelled to resign. He returned home in thefall of 1862, and,at the elec tion held the same year, was chosen, without opposition, a State Senator, A Story for the Little lelks. Til E RAG-PICKER'S NON. As the gray dawn of a November day was breaking over the city of New York, some tYY'enty years ago a light streamed from the window of an old tenement house iu Manhattan street. The room from Yvhich it came Yvas the dwelling-place of “ Old Meg,” the rag-picker, and her little son VVil lie. For seven yeaisshe had been an inmate of the same room, and nearly ev r ery morning, at an early hour, she went forth in search of rags, and her little son went to his place of employ ment, down town. Wiilie was a bright-faced, curly haired little fellow, of some thirteen years, and was the hope and pride of his gray-haired mother. “ Old Meg,” (Willie’s mother) as the boys u?ed to call her, was about forty years old; but her road through life being rough, and her burdens heavy to bear, she looked much older. Everybody in the neighborhood knew her to be an honest, God fearing woman. She troubled nobody; and since her hus band's death, some ten years before, had worked hard to support her little 6on, aud let him receive as much edu cation as possible. On the morning in question, she was up at the usual hour, and her scanty meal was spread for herself and Willie. The room in which they were living was not very large, nor was the furniture extensive; but everything had the appearance of the most scru pulous neatness. After they had been '«ated at the table for a fevv moments, and Willie’s mother had asked a bless ing, Willie said : “Mother, you must let me go and gather the rags to-day. I have a holi day, and you do not look well. I know the rounds, for, you know, I used to go with you often before I went to work fur Mr. William*.” “My son,” said his mother, “this to represent the Twenty-first District, i is the only holiday you have had for and, in 1864, was re-elected, serving with ability until the Confedracy was overthrown. On the return of peace, he was, for some time, under the pol itical ban, but his - political dis- ablities were finaly removed by Con gress. In 186S Colonel Griffin advo cated the Congressional plan of recon struction—not because it pleased him, but because he believed it to embody the most favorable terms attainable. He however remained a Democrat in his political views, and has always been one. In 1S70 he was accepted as a compromise candidate by both the political parties ot his county, and was elected to the Legislature. Colonel Griffin married in 1818 to Miss A. M. Nash, of Twiggs, is a member of the Baptist church, and also a member of the Masonic Fraternity. A gentleman of fine address, of ability, and of integ rity, he lias proven an excellent legis lator, and, during the past session, has showu himself as patriotic, and as de voted to the interests of his people, as in the happy days gone by when he served iu the House at Milledgeville* HON. DAVID C. MANN. Mr. Mann is a native of Wilkinson county, and was born there in 1S4*2. He received a private education, aud from his youth to the present time has been engaged in farming. In May, 1861, heenteredthe Confederate Army as a private in the Tenth Georgia In fantry, and served iu the Army of Northern Virginia, in McLaws’ Brig ade, until the battle of Sharpsburg, where he YY T as wounded and captured. Having been disabled from further ser vice in the field by his wound, on his exchange he was discharged from the army. Some time after his return home Mr. Mann was elected Tax Col lector of his county, and filled that of fice ably and acceptably until 1S6S, when he was elected Ordinary. This latter position he held until 1870, when he resigned, to take his seat iu the Legislature, having been elected thai year by the Democracy to rep resent Wilcox county in the LoYver House. Mr. Mann has made a good member, and has altogether merited the confidence of his constituents.— Personally he is a clever gentleman, somewhat reserved in his manners, but warm-hearted, generous and hos pitable. A Cure for Sea Sickness.— An au thority on this subject, says: I am much surprised at the opinion, which is so prevalent, of the incurabil ity among the non-medical part of the community from sheer ignorance, and among sea-going surgeons from a su- pineness to applying remedies—a fault to Yvhich they are rather too subject. In the greater number of instances 1 allow the stomach to discharge its contents once or twice, and then it there is no organic disease, I give five drops of chloroform iu a little water, and if necessary repeat the dose in five or six hours. The almost instant effect of this treatment, if coupled with a feYv simple precautions, is to cause au immediate sensation, as it were, of warmth in the stomach, ac companied by almost total relief of the nausea and sickness, likewise cur ing the distressing headache, and usually causing a quiet sleep, frum which the passenger wakes quite well. [Exchange. Governor Campbell, of Wyoming, has espoused the cause of ladies to such purpose that one of them has nobly espoused him. It is said that the wo man suffrage law Yvas there passed as a joke on the bachelor Governor, in the faith that he would veto it. He has first circumvented the Democratic jo- kists by signing it, and now by pledging to Wyoming a future radiant with Campbells. So much for sportive legis lation on a serious theme.—St. Louis Democrat, six months, and I would not like to take it from you.” “Never mind, mother; I’m young arid don’t mind Yvork. You won’t have to go out many more mornings, for Mr. Williams is going to raise my wages soon, aud then l shall make enough to keep us without your work ing.” And the little felloYv’s eyes beamed with pleasure at the thought of his mother uot working any more. “ Well, Willie,” replied Mrs. Mat thews, “ you may go out in my place to-dav and I will rest.” Willie soon finished his breakfast, and taking tbe bag and hook, kissed his mother’s pale cheek, and with her kind “ God bless you!” following him, went down the rickety stairs and and into the chilly autumn twilight, to commence his search for rags. By noon, W illie had nearly filled his bag, and was ou his way home ward. As he Yvas passing a millinery store, he saw some scraps lying by the side of the curb, Yvhich had been sw*ept from the shop, and setting his bag down lie began to gather them up. He had them nearly all picked up and put in a cap preparatory to putting them in his bag, when something ly ing close to the sidewalk attracted his attention. He stooped down and pick ed it up. What was his surprise to find it was a pocket-book, and to all appearances, well filled. Willie open ed it, and one look at its contents caused his heart to leap with joy. Sticking it quickly in his pocket he, shouldered the bag. and started as fast as he could toward home. As he trudged along with his bag on his back, he pictured his mother’s surprise when he should tell her what he had found, and show her the pile of money Yvhich he knew the pocket book-contained. He soou reached home, and setting his bag down by the door, fairly flew up the stairs, threw open the door, rushed into his mother’s presence, and exclaimed : “ O, mother, I’ve fonnd a fortune !” And without Yvaiting for his mother to speak, he pulled out the pocketbook and commenced to count the money. “Fourteen hundred dollars!” he exclaimed, when he counted the roll of bank-bills. “ Isn’t that a fortune, mother!” “ Where did you get it, Willie V” said ids mother quietly. k *l found it among some rags in front of a millinery store,” answered Willie, looking at the pocket book. “ But here’s a name, mother,” he con tinued, as he raised the fly-leaf. “It is ‘Horace Carpenter, No. , Broad way.’ But he must be rich and will uot miss it, and we uefed .it so badly.” “But, my son, it would be stealing to keep it. ‘Honesty is tbe best poli cy,’ so you had better take it to its owner, aud if he does not reward you, God will.” Without a werd of remoustance, Willie rose saying : “I will do as you say, mother, and if lie offers me a reward I will take it.” “ Go. then my boy, aud God pros per you,” said Ins mother. iSo off he started for the store of Mr. Carpenter. When he arrived there he asked it Mr. Carpeuter was in. On being told that he was, he said that he wanted to see him. A clerk went to a side door and called him, and in a few moments he entered. Willie step ped up to him aud said : “Are you Mr. Horace Carpenter ?” “ Y r es, my little fellow. What can I do for you f” “ Take this pocketbook, and see if it is yours,” said Willie, as he handed it to him. Mr. Carpenter took it, and without opening it, said : “ Yes, my boy, that’s mine. It was lost by my daughter while out shop ping yesterday afternoon. I had just written an advertisement to insert in the morning papers concerning it! But did you bring it to me? You look M if you needed money.” “But mother bid me take it to its OYvner, and I never disobey her.” “You shall be rewarded for your honesty, my little boy. But what is your name, and where do yon lire?” “ My name is Willie Matthews, and I live in Manhattan street, neear Hous* ton.” “I will go home with you»”,'«*id Mr. Carpeuter, “ and see your mother, and perhaps I may do something tor you and her.” They YY*ent out together, the rich merchant and the rag picker’s son, and were soon at Willie’s house. After a short talk with Willie’s mother, it was arranged that he should go into Mr. Carpenter’s store the next week. In the meantime a more com fortable place was provided for him and his mother by Mr. Carpenter. Time passed on, and Willie was fast winning the love and respect of all in his new place. When he reached his twenty-first year he became a partner with Mr. Mr. Carpenter in his great dry-goods house. “ Old Meg,” the rag-picker, is no more, and the kind-hearted Mr. Car penter sleeps in the old family burying ground among the hills of Vermont. But Willie remains, and you would scarcely recognize to-day, in the hand some gentleman entering the great dry goods store of “ Matthews & Co,” the rag-picker’s sou.— The Methodist. Poisoning Exploits.—Madame Urs- inus was a Yvidow—a woman of rank, fortune and beauty, moving in the first circles of Berlin. Her manners were peculiarly fascinating, her repu tation was unblemished, and her char ity caused her to be beloved by the poor. He husband, privy counsellor, tiad died in 1800, and the usual period of mourning having expired, the lady had opened her doors again to her friends, and was in the habit of seeing a good deal of company. Ou the 5th of March, 1803, there was an assembly at her house, aud she was sitting st the table, Yvhen one of the footmen en tered with evident signs of terror, say ing the officers of justice wished to speak with her. Madame rose from her seat without betraying the slight est agitation, gracefully apologized for for the interruption, and quitted the room, saying she would return immedi ately. But she came not. The company sat with cards in hands; several min utes elapsed, when a servant appeared at the door and announced that hia mistress had been taken to prison. No reason was assigned, but the guests in stantly departed, of course, in admira ble contusion. The particulars, as they atterYvards came out, were as fol lows; One ot the servants, Benjamin Klein, had complained of being unwell, and Madame Ursinus had given him broth. He grew worse, and she administered rice milk. (Suffering extreme pain, she brought him some plums, which instead of eating, he concealed, took to an apothecary, and was told that they were stutied with arsenic. Upon this the lady was arrested. It came out upon the trial that she always kept arsenic upon her person; that her hus band, her aunt, and her lover, who had refused to marry her, had all died sud denly, and that two of her servants, npon whom she had personally atten ded, after manifesting spasms similar to those of Klein, had died. The proof, however, was insufficient to establish the charge of murder. Klein did not die, but for the attempt upon his life, Madame Ursinus was sen tenced to perpetual imprisonment ia the fortress of Glutz. She lived to a great age, and at length died, in 1836, in the odor of sanctity. A long train of carriages followed the hearse. The church-yard could hardly contain the assembled crowd; orphans sung songs over her grave, and the poor strewed her coffin with flowers. She died without confessing her crimes, and the motive for committing them has always remained a mystery. A correspondent of the Journal of Commerce tells the story of a captain of a South Carolina artillery company who was killed in battle in Virginia, in Io03. His body was placed in a coffin, and this was boxed up and brought to the home of his family, at that time iu Columbia. It ai rived about one week after his death. On its arrival, his dog, that he had reared and petted during his life, was at the front gate, aud, approaching the house, began to smell about aud manifest much excitement. When the coffin was removed from the hearse, he ran under it, and followed it into the house, between the pall-be*rers. Al though a week had elapsed since hia master’s death, and his body was close ly encased in the coffin, this dog bad reeognized him by the sense of smell alone. When the coffin was laid on the table in the parlor, the dog laid down under it, aud remained there for eighteen hours, until the fuueral on the next day. Upon the day succeed ing, it was observed that the dog had uot been seen since the interment.-— Search was made for him, aud he was found lying U P 0U h‘ s li»te master’s grave, shivering in the cold rain, that had been falling tor some hours. He refused to leave his position, and died after three days’ exposure.
