that in Canaan of Galileo, and recreate
the wealth it« fait as it was gone. How
can anyU-dy sell tho produ<-ts of labor

tho question. And yet it has got to be
done, or tho unions must abandon their
arbitrary demands and accept for their

The compromise or adjustment effected

This was all. Work was renewed on

what other course was sensible, or even
possible, under tho circumstances.

that if it was not disinterred he could
not recover. The limb was accordingly

It is an “o'er true tale.”
The reader, then, will understand why
wo appear so often and persistently aa
the champion of the little ones.
Children are not men and must not be
measured by their standard. Animal
and physical life at that period predomi
nate largely in their existence. The
mind ia an unwritten page, bnt thespir-
and muscular energies are then
in fullest play. Crush out or greatly de
press the latter, and the former in com
plete sympathy refuses to act. Who
does not know that the brightest child
when fatigued and discourage'! by a pro
tracted recitation, loses interest, answers
ithout reflection, and becomes a perfect
little dolt.
So if the freedom of tho pupil ba undu
ly curtailed j if his lessons are made to
assumo tho form of weary tasks j if his
mind is overtaxed, and ho be denied the
recreations and sports of youth, a baleful
reaction It tho result, and healthy prog
ress becomes estopped effectually.
Even in tho utilitarian North, whero
every tiling is weighed by its value in
dollars and cents, and the teaches of pub
lic schools receive regular salaries and
contract to give all their time to their
employer*. th«> system of teaching five or,
at most tie hours only in one continuous
session, broken by a half hour’s recess,
obtains universally. Experience has
shown that it will not pay to do otherwise.
Education is the work in hand, and that
it has been foun^ can bo best promo
ted by affording sufficient time for relax
ation to tho “young idea ”
We were Wp a littlo struck recently by
the experience on this head, of a veteran
educator of youth. One »fhp has grown
gray in the service, aud stands ceceod to
nA onoin the Stato for his erudition,
fidelity and success in teaching. Says
this venerable witness : “When I first
began my career in the town cf as
the successor of a famous martinet who
was noted for his ability to break-in
reprobate bovs, I found that the custom
of the school was to begin recitations at
or about ranriss, and continue the exer
cises, with two hours intermission at noon
only, until it was too dark for the pupils
to soo their books. This I continued for
three years, until fully satisfied of the
folly of the system. At the erpiration of
that period, procuring a lease of the
academy for ten years and a lot of land
on the premises, I built a home and
abandoned this ruinous method of over
taxing and exhausting the mental and
physical energies of my pupils.”
This gentleman now teaches six hour*
per diem, and ia an earnest advocate of
one session, on the ground that the men
tol discipline and habits of study of his
pupils, are sadly broken into by the noon
interruption.
previous article we have fully
argued the importance of, one session in
the public schools, if we hope to make
what they were designed to be, a
blessing to the poor. Those parents who
have large families to maintain and are
dependent for a support upon their per
sonal labor, must have assistance from
their offspring. Much os they may feel
concerned for their mental progress and
wish to see them succeed in life, the
bread question is paramount to all others.
And the sad, overwork**! mother, too,
how can ahe dispense wholly, with the
services of her strung and healthyjdaaght-
er, when the clothes iuu*t be made and
mended, and the cooking and washing
done for papa and the little ones. Yet she
must do this, if soon after the rising of
the winter’s sun, that child is hurried off
to school and confined there until the
shades of evening. This two session regu
lation, therefore, practically rules out
many of the neediest families from the
benefits of free education, while if it was
abandoned, and five or six hours in the
oarly part of the day only, set apart for
school exercise, the child could well nigh
accomplish all of its chores at home, and
be bene fitted both in mind and body at
the same time, by the blending of physi
cal and mental labor.

the question put separate and distinct, in
order that the real wish of the people may
be ascertained. Biennial sessions of the
Legislature should also be provided for,
as the State cannot afford the expense of
annual sessions, accomplishing, as they
do, so little of good. By all mean* let

Two cases of burglary and one of high

The Covington Enquirer says a J.v-p-r
county boy who ooold'nt find a place to
sleep during th« late Fair, offered to pay
n Covington man $1J>0 an hour to sit up
with him during the night. He could
have found lodgings at a good many
places for less than that—Sprawl’s for
instance.
The Cuthbert Appeal says on last
Tuesday a very desirable plantation of
over 000 acres, was sold at sheriff sale,
for a little over $300—about 33 cents per
acre. Tho plantation had two good
dwelling houses on it, either of which
were worth three times os much as the
entire place brought. # .
Mr. Jjls. W. Davies, of Augusta, who
has been elected President, pro tern., of
the Georgia railroad, will receive a salary
of $6,000 per annum. Judgo King will,
however, continue to rec uve his salary,
which is also $6,000. The vote stood
seven for Mr. Davie* to six for Major
George T. Jackson, who was understood
to be Judge King’s choice for tho po
sition.
Outrage on a Conductor.—A few
nights since, says the Rome Commercial,
Conductor West, of the Selma, Rome
aud Dalton road, had »umc of hia ©ffoet#
ttoleu from hiir, and a* it wa* certain
tliat one of tho three negroes in his em
ployment had stolen tho things, and he
could not ascertain which, he told them
ho would hold them all accountable.
Upon this, one of tho negroes, Lawson
Shropshire, jumped up, gathered a lock
and chain near at hand and struck the
conductor a severe blow on the. head.
Mr. West put his hand behind him and
drew his pistol, when tho negro struck
him another blow, cutting his head
dreadfully, and snatching the pistol
jumped from the train. The affair took
place near Silver creek, six mileq from
Rome. A warrant has been issued for
tho arrest of the negro.
Tur Rome Courier says Mr. R. W.
Whitehead, of Polk, connty, ginned 4S5
pound* of lint from 10S4 pounds of seed
cotton, and wants to know if anybody can
beat it.
The editor of the Washington Gazette,
who spent a day or two at the State Fair,
gives his opinion of it a* follows:
We must state, right here, that wc do
not pretend to give anything like a de
tailed account of thU truly wonderful ex
hibition. Had wo spent a week on the
grounds and labored diligently to note
and give an oocount of the article on ex
hibition. wo would surely have failed to
do justice to each and every department.
We can only say tliat, in our. opinion, no
such grand display of agricultural, me
chanical, mineral ant] domestic produc
tion* has ever been seen in this country.
While other State Fairs may liavo sur
passed this in some particular branch,
taken as a whole our late Fair has never
been equaled. And it should be a matter
of pride to every Georgian to know that
almost the entire exhibition was made of
the productions of his own State, grow
ing from her own soil, dug from her own
mines or produced by the hands of her
own citizens.It is true that-there was
live stock, and mechanical implements,
and products of various kinds from all
■rrtinriR but the principal part of the ex
hibition, especially of tho purely agricul
tural and mineral portion, was entirely
Georgian.
En route to the Fair he traveled with a
very loving couple whose “carryings-on'
seem to have aggravated him, since he
putt them in print as follows
Amongst the few passenger* aboard
there was a youthful couple, a fair-haired
and bashful young man and a good look
ing young woman with sorrel hair and a
great deal of it. They were very affec
tionate ■ The young man would occasion
ally, indeed very frequently, wind his arm
around her neck and clasping her tight
draw her to his manly bosom. She seemed
to be very easy to draw. He would then
rub his * fair young brow amidst her
tawney, we mean her golden locks, and
in the" sweet embrace their lips would
meet in a fond kiss. Then be would re
lease her and glance defiantly around at us
os we sat near by. "We pretended not to
see them, and we felt lonesome. We
hope they were married.
The Gazette says last Saturday *veek
was a bad day, morally, for Washington.
The only parties who made much on that
dgr were the wholesale liquor dealers, as
everybody who was drunk soemod to be
drunk by the wholesale.
The Columbus Sun says that not half
of the freight that comes to that point
over the Central Road is now transport
ed owing to the hard times, though the
through cotton exceeds that of last year
The Sun also urt on the authority of
though all the teachers in the negro
in that city, are of that color, and
tuition costa nothing, numbers of negroes
refused to send their children there, not
because the teachers were not competent,
but because the principal, a well educated
colored man, chose to support and vote

Handsome Present to an Episcopal
Church.—-The Chronicle and Sentinel of
Sunday says Miss Louise King, of Au
gusta, daughter of Hon. Jno. P. King,
has presented to St. Paul's Episcopal
Church, of that city, a handsome altar
cloth and three elegant panels for tho
altar screen. The altar cloth is of crim
son plush, bordered with deep yellow
silk fringe. In front is the inscription
In Remembrance of Me ” in old Eng
lish letters, embroidered with gold floss
silk. On each side of tho inscription are
two Maltese crosses, also embroidered
with silk. The embroidery was all done
by Miss King, and is exceedingly beauti
ful. The entire altar doth is very hand-
gome and reflects, much credit upon tho
donor. The screen panels are blue, the
one on the left bearing the inscription
I Am tho Bread of Life,” and that on
the right “I Am tho True Yino,” in
gold letter*, old English style. Tho
centre panel bears a cross surmounted by
a crown, also of gold. 1 '*

Of the health of tho city, the Adver
tiser says:
Major Howard, a prominent citizen of
Montgomery, has been sick for several
days with yellow fever, and was thought
to’be doing welL Like the lamented
O’Dwyer, he was somewhat imprudent,
and the couaequenoe was a relapse, from
which he die-! last night. • This whs a
great shock to the community, as he had
many friends an-1 relatives in our midst.
It was most fondly hoped yesterday that
the last fatal ease’ of the fever had been
reported, as the number now under treat
ment is very s-ruall, and by Monday, with
proper care ou the part of the sick, the
disease will most probably be at an end.

The “Scant Effect” Fashion.
“Ml IL B.;” the New York correspon
dent of the St. Louis Republican, writes
that tho “ertromest phase of the scant
effect was reached by a lady who walked
up Fifth avenue in a navy-blue camel’s-
hair dress/ Not d puckeror a visible seam
or a particle of trimming broke up the
beautiful surface of that woman. She
wai one unbending level, and how she
got into that straight-jacket of a dress I
couldn’t imagine till I took a rear view
of her, and found ahe was buttoned up
behind from neck to hem. Two unob
trusive box-pleats larked in a shy way
each side of the opening; otherwise that
garment looked like a bloated pantaloon
leg. And walk—well, she couldn’t walk
very well, and in case of fire that woman
would be fried in her own fat. You see,
economy must begin somewhere. If cloth
is used for the ruffs, why the skirt3 muse
suffer, and mercy knows what is required
for the big silk fences built up about tho
female head just now.”
Another funny thing about the “ big
silk fences” is that they should come in
simultaneously with the change in wear
ing the hair. The latter hangs down
and the .former stands up in a most ag
gressive manner, and the two wage vig
orous warfare. Why tho dickens didn’t
ruffs come in when the hair was all raked
up to the top of the head clean out of
their way ? This is one of the things
that no fellow can find out.
ENGLISH AND AMERICAN BANKING
The Difference In the Proportion of
Coin and Paper Money.
The Tribune, of Friday, has an article
on tho Bank of England, from which we
extract tho following. It exhibits, in a
strong and very suggestive light, tho
difference between a rotten and sound
financial system. The Tribune says:
The money of Great Britain consists of
abou* two hundred and fifty million dol
lars of paper and protmuijr rum nuudrea
millions in coin. Excluding from the pa
ler the one hundred millions issued by
ihe Bank of England against gold coin and
bullion, the proportion is one hundred and
fifty million dollars of bank notes and
four hundred million dollars in coin. Our
money consists of seven hundred and
fifty million dollars of irredeemable pa
per, about fifty million dollars in coin in
private hands, and fifty millions more
locked up in the Treasury. We found
no argment on these figures to prove the
redundancy of the currency of the United
States, but wo beg our readers to observe
that the money of the most prosperous
and wealthy nation in the world is com-
coin to one-third
nak notes.
We are no advocates of a cast iron re
serve. We think the reserve of a bank
should be kept for use and not for orna
ment. The trouble with our finance is
aud always lias been tliat tho banks have
never kept a sufficiently large reserve.
They have never been able to stand a
pressure. They toko men’s money and
undertake to repay it at any moment on
demand, but they deliberately put them
selves in a position which makes it im
possible for them to keep their word. It
is all very well to say that if everybody
wants money at the same instant it is
mpossfble to pay everybody, yet there is
still a difference between keeping on
hand forty per cent, of what you agree
to pay on demand and keeping
only twenty per cent. The maxi
mum percentage - of legal tender
notes held by the New York banks as
a reserve against the demands of their
depositors has not ac any time within the
last four years been equal to thirty per
cent, of the r debts to depositors. On the
15th of October, the date of tho last re
turn of the Bank of England received by
mail, the reserve of notes and coin in the
banking department, after haying been
drawn down from sixty-six million dol
lars to thirty-nine millions,** was still
thirty-one per cent, of the public and pri
vate deposits. The rate of ^ discount was
then six per cent, (since raised to eight),
showing that the proportion which our
banks consider safe, indeed a proportion
which they have never once reached for
the hut four years, is regarded by the di
rectors of the Bank of England as insuffi
cient for the safe conduct of their busi
ness.
Tlie Malone Case,
It is said that Milton Malone’s counsel
have submitted a written motion fora
new trial on two grounds—one of which
is insanity.
The motion for a new trial was over
ruled, and we understand that a bill of
exception to this ruling is now being pre
pared, so that it is probable the case will
go again to the State Supreme Court.
Possibly from there to the Federal Su
preme Court. The facts as stated above
are gathered from counsel, the reporter
not hating an opportunity of examining
the papers, which are being used (it is
supposed) by the prisoner’s counsel in
the preparation of the bill of exceptions.
It is probable that this motion for a new
trial and the subsequent proceedings will
at least lengthen out Malone’s span of
life another twelve months, a thing of
vast importance to him.
The Dayton (Ohio) Journal predicts a
guucral religious revival during the com-
snd ! winter. The New York Sun hopes
*till unsafe for absentees to re- ; t , tie prediction may prove correct if it
should be a revival of real religion, bring
ing with it truth, honest dealing and a
sincere fear of God and of His laws. But
if it is a revival of that -ort of religion
which is practiced in many fashionable
churches, and exemplified especially by
the head with l no-called Christian statesmen and Chris-
bonkers, the less of it the better.

of Foreign Affairs; but whether it took
place or not was not known at a late hour
this evening. Tho executions which recent
ly occurred, are condemned in official cir
cles as brutal. When all the facts attend

that international law has been violated,
immediate measures will be taken to

of State is represented as saying to-day,
during an interview, with reference to tho
reported execution of Santa Rosa, that
he had not been officially advised of it;
but that Santa Rosa had given him a
good deal of trouble. He was, once before,
condemned to death as a pirate. After
consuming a ream of paper, and sending
and receiving numerous cable dispatches
this Government secured his re
lease. Only a few weeks ago Santa Rosa
wrote to the Secretary saying ho owed
the preservation of his life to him; there

THE LOGAN
Fertilizing Compound!
This fertilizer is again offered to the
public in its original purity. The stand
ard 1ms been kept up in every rc ipect
and its intrinsic value lias again been
demonstrated during tho past summer.
It is recommended, because:
“It is permanent in its effects in return
ing to the soil the fertilizing ingredients
taken from it by excessive cropping.
“It gives to cotton the food necessary
to sustain life while fruiting, therefore,
what is called rust seldom occurs whero
this fertilizer is used,
“It is the best restorer of worn out
l;inilfl known to agricultural chemistry.
“Its effects are immediate in the pro
duction of large returns tho first season.
“It is good for all crops, on any soil,
being pure unadulterated plant-food.
“It is as good as the best, and is tho
least expensive of any known good fertil-
**i4 hm manufactured at the Noiixn ana
almost entirely of Southern material.
“It utilizes the ammonia found on
every farm which is the most expensive
part of all complete fertilizers.”
We subjoin a few of the many certifi
cates in our possession, os to its value,
from well known parties who have used
it, and to*whom wo would refer.

Gents: i have bought of your agent, Captain
V. L. llojwcn, one car load of the Logan Fertili
zer, ami used it this spring on my different farms.
I am well pleased with it and shall use it another
year in preference* to any other kind, laboured
the pure Peruvian Guano and other Standard
fertilizers, nnd by actual comi«arison. I am satis
fied the Logan is tbe best, and at much less cost.
