CURRENT TOPICS.
Birds the Protectors of Crops.
' lu the craw of a quaii lately killed in
Ohio were found one cutworm, twenty-one
striped vine bugs and one hundred chinch
bugs, but not a tingle grain of corn.”—
I Anonymous.
We have seen so many instances of this
kind that we do not doubt its correctness
in a single particular. One day we saw a
farmer killing woodpeckers. He was
making a general assault upon every bird
of that kind on his place. “What are you
killing those birds for ? they are not good
to eat.” “They are destroying my roast
ing ears. They peck holes through the
shuck and eat the grain.”
“No they don’t. Come over here in the
held and I will show you.” We then went
to an ear of corn the bird had pecked a
hole into, threw back the shuck and show
ed him that the woodpecker had not eaten
his corn, but had taken a worm from it
which was eating it.
A large majority of our birds subsist ex
clusively upon insects. Many of them eat
their own weight every day.
Agricultural Credit in the United
States.
The Financial Chronicle discusses this
question and shows that we can have such
a credit here as is common in France and
in all rich countries but our own We quote:
We must build up on a sound, trust
worthy model a system of agiicultural
credit, must divert into this channel as
much of our floating capital as ean be safe
ly vested in such permanent forms and
converted into fixed capital, take such
effective measures and give such complete
guarantees as shall attract foreign capital
as well as Ameiicau capital into these new
channels of investment. And, finally, we
must favor the efforts making abroad, by
which the business of dealing in our credits,
hares, bonds and other values shall not be
so much controlled at Paris, Vienna, Ham
burg, Berlin or London by reckless specu
lators.
Extravagance.
The Iribune, speaking of the supposed
sound condition of California finances and
the failure of the Bank of California, says:
Be the currency what it may, the work
man who drinks away his earnings aDd the
business man who gambles away his capi
tal will alike come to grief. Be the cur
rency’ what it may, varieties of human na
ture will still exist, and in every’ land will
be found r pendthrifts, gamblers and
thieves. It would be just as rational to ar
gue that a sound currency was of no bene
fit because it had not prevented drunken
ness in San Francisco or crime in Sacra
mento, as to c'aim that it does no good
becau-e It a uston has failed at last.
The Supreme Court of Massachusetts has
recently made a very’important decision
touching tire mueh-disi ussed , sub.ect of
church taxation. It is that “realestr te held
by a religious society, not more than suffi
cient in extent to meet its reasonable re
quirements in this respect, and devoted by
such society in good faith to the erection of
a church edifice, upon which the work of
erection, ali’eady commenced, is prosecuted
without unreasonable delay, is entitled to
the exemption from taxation given by’ the
statute.” One of the judges dissented from
this opinior, desiring it to be emphatically
stated that the building erected “must be
a house of religious worship,” and used for
no other purpose. This would effectually’
exclude church suppers, lotteries, and other
inventions of the age.
Alluding to the acquittal of the negro
Cordy Harris, indicted for participation
in the late attempt to incite insurrection in
this State, the New York Journal of Cbm
merce says : “We are happy to record the
pleasant ending of an affair which, at one
time, aroused the apprehensions of the
11 lends of peace and harmony between the
two races. The negroes ought to be abund
antly satisfied now that their white friends
will act justly’ and fairly by them; and the
call which has been issued urging the col
ored race in Georgia, for their own pro
tection, to seek a home in some other
State, will probably’ fail of effect.”
The Chicago Post says to the female un
employed: The women must be up and
doing if they want anything. Men do not
sit still and let the fat positions be forced
upon them; they work and log-roll and
make acquaintances and secure influence;
in short, they ‘bustle around,’ they ‘hump
it’—and women, with the milliner’s help,
certainly can do that.” *
It is reported that Colonel Valentine
Bakek intends tovi-itthe United States af
ter the term of his imprisonment is over.
He will doubtless be accorded an ovation
by Brother Sheakman and the saints of Ply
mouth Church, but the railroad companies
would do well to avoid giving him free
passes and to watch him closely when he
travels.—lourier-Journal.
The Curious Case of General C. A.
Evans. •
To the Editor of the New York Sun:
Sik—ln a recent issue of your paper,
under the caption of “A Walking Pin
cushion” (taken from the Baltimore
Sun a curious story is told of General
<J. A. Evans, of Augusta, Ga. How
ever much many of your readers may
discredit this story, I cannot doubt its
truth. I was a clerk under the General
from the time of his promotion to the
rank of brigadier general until the sur
render of the Army of Northern Vir
ginia at Appomattox Court House, and
knew him well. I was at the field hos
pital while the battle of Mouocacy, Md.,
was going on, and saw him as he was
borne in from the field wounded. His
wound was of the character mentioned
in the story, except that the ball did
not go entirely through his body, hav
ing lodged just under the skin to the
light ot the right nipple. I was by his
side and held one of his arms while
the surgeon extracted the ball. When
the ball was removed several bent pins
were observed in the fiesh where it had
lodged, which were also taken out. These
were four iu number, as well as I can
remember, and had been carried there
by the ball from a paper of pins which
he had iu his left breast pocket. As the
wound was an exceedingly painful one,
and in a region where, perhaps, it was
not deemed advisable to tamper with
it, the surgeons did not probe in search
of more pins, or if they did the probing
was so slight that they found none; and
yet it was discovered, in examining
the paper of pins in his pocket, that
several more than the four I have
accounted for had been carried away
by the ball, and could not be found
anywhere about either his clothing or
person. It was my firm belief then
that a part, if not all. of the missjug
pins were iu his body. The ouly strange
thing to me about the matter is that
the pins should remain in his body so
long, and yet give him no pain.

“Hoop ’em lively!” yelled a rowdy
listener at camp meeting in Dane coun
ty, as the enthusiasm was at its height.
The brethren “hooped” the intruder
about half a mile away, and held his
head under water in a mill pond until
he agreed to go back and be converted.

Macon Tel graph: Wm. M. Bates, of the

Mr. Bates was about fifty-four years old,
a good business man, and of the finest char

well known among the business men of
this city and throughout the State.
Atlanta must be desperately hard up for a
sensation, it now deliberately tries to get
up a crowd from the country to see “the
test of the w’ater works. Just imagine a
set of fools who have traveled fifty or sixty
miles and paid out fifteen or twenty dol
lars to see water squirted over a house! If
there is a large crowd on hand we will ad

The Atlanta Herald has commenced a

Cartersville Express; We regret to learn
that a brother or our fellow-citizeu. J. D.
Head, Esq., got a chicken bone lodged in
his throat on Tuesday morning. For some
time his life was despaired of, but at pres
ent the danger of lire is not so im uiuent.
ft is thought that the bone will fester out—
it is deemed imprudent to attempt to draw
it out. Mr. Head has to keep most; of the
time under the influence of opiates. We
hope he will soon get rid of the obstacle.
Atlanta Herald: We understand, from
what we regard as reliable authority, that
Gen. Jos. E. Johnston has been appointed,
and has accepted the position of Command
er-in-Chief of the army of Egypt. Only a
short time since, and for the third time,
was he tendered the position. This time it
was urged upon him so strenuously that
he at length consented, and is making his
preparation to go over and assume his po
sition immediately. He is to get SIOO,OOO to
prepar e himself an outfit, and is to receive
the sum of $25,000 annually for having su
preme control of the army of the Khedive
of Egypt.
Atlanta Commonwealth: We learn that the
negroes hereabouts again have the emigra
tion fever. They are now simmering to go
to Mississippi. A man from that (state is
out here now, working around to get up a
crowd to follow him back. He is a preach
er. and made this emigration question the
topic of his discourses, delivered at some of
the negro churches of this place last Sun
day. He holds out very flattering induce
ments to his brethren to follow him, by as
suring them that they can make a great
deal more out there than they can here.—
He has gone down the Georgia Railroad in
pursuit of this business. We understand
that there are about one hundred and fifty
from Atlanta and the country between here
and Stone Mountain, who are to go out to
Mississippi this fall. They are to wait here
until their crops arc gathered and disposed
of, and then leave.
Footsteps on the Other Side.
The following poem, clipped from a copy
of the St. Louis b.vening News of the 19th
of Apri., 1862, is as tine a specimen of poetry
as the English language contains, ft may
not be so grand or powerful as some, but
the sad, simple tale it tells, can but endear
it to the hearts of all who have ever en
dured the bitter trial of waiting for some
thing that never came:
Sitting in my humble doorway
Gazing out into the night,
Listening to the stormy tumult,
With a kind of sad delight,
Wait I for the loved who comes not,
One whose steps I long to hear;
One who, though he lingers from me,
Still is dearest of the dear.
Soft he comes—now, heart, be quiet,
Leaping in triumphant pride;
Oh! it is a stranger’s footstep.
Gone by on the other side.
All the night seems filled with weeping,
Winds are wailing mournfully;
And the rain-tears altogether
Journey to the restless sea.
I can fancy, sea, you murmur,
As they with your waters How,
Like the grief or single beings
Making up a nation’s woe.
Branches, bid your guests be silent!
Hush a moment, fretful rain !
Breeze, stop sighing, let me listen—
God grant not ag .in in va[n !
In my cheek the blood is rosy.
Like the blushes of a bride;
Joy!—alas! a stranger’s footstep
Goes by on the other side!
Ah! how many wait forever
For the steps that do not come!
Wait until the pitying angels
Bear them to a peaceful home!
Many in the still of midnight ,
In the streets have lain and died,
Whiie the sound of human footsteps
Went by on the other side!
LENDING MONEY TO “CROOKED”
LAWYERS.
Questions and Answers.
New Yoke, September 1, 1875.
Editin' of the Journal of Commerce:
Will you please give me your opinion
of the following case:
About six months ago, I made the
acquaintance of an (as it then appeared)
honorable lawyer. A short time after,
he pleaded of being momentarily finan
cially embarrassed and succeeded iu
obtaining from me a loan of SSCO, he
giving me a note for $00(1, making at
the time time the remark that he vol
untarily and gladly advanced the SIOO
as the money was worth that much to
him, aud easily overcoming remon
strances and actual refusal to take such
a bonus!
This Dote became due aud was not
paid, but at his request I took about
18 days later anew note of same con
cents, with the exception of making it
six days, and returned him the first
note. This last note on maturity was
not pail either, and I have since been
unable to get any money, although I
had the note protested. I have called
on him several times, but my ouly re
turn was abusive language. Now I
propose to insert a copy of his note,
giving his individual name and name of
his firir. in the leading daily papers,
offering the same for sale. The ques
tions I should like to have answered
are the following :
1. Could you or the law consider this
note of any value ?
2. Could he (the lawyer) say that I
demanded unlawful interest, although
it was voluntarily paid or promised ?
3. Could he (the lawyer) by any trick
or lawyer’s device involve me iu a law
suit for either usury or obtaining un
lawful interest ?
4. Could he (the lawyer) on flndiug
the insertion in the daily papers, sue
me for damages, or involve mo iu auy
other law difficulties.
Yours, respectfully, Trouble.
fieply—l. The note is only worth at
the rate of three cents a pound for pa
per stock.
5. As the holder of the note had de
manded his pay (i. e, has asked for
s6oofoi SSOO lent) lie may be sa:d to
haye demanded unlawful interest.
3. The only way the lawyer could in
volve our trusting friend would be to
pay the note; ho could then prosecute
him for usury. He seems not likely to
do this: but if he should, all risk may
be avoided, if the money should be
tendered, by accepting only the sum
actually lept and simple interest on it
to the day of payment,
4. If the note were advertised for
sale without any libelous reflections
on the maker, the act would aot be
illegal.
The best way is, however, for our
friend to pocket his loss, and throw
away no more good money for poor
I The lawyer probably designed the rob
bery when he gave the note. Such an
act is worse than sneak-thievery, but
it is not within the reach of the law,
and this the rogue knew when he com
mitted It. It is a shame that our
statutes should give occasion for such
a wrong.

Kitson’s Patent Compound Opener Lapper.
TIIL cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, £nd Is made into a very even
lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pouuds per hour. The laps are then ttnished on a
TWO-BEATER LAPPER,
WITH
KITSON’S PATENT EVENER
Attahed, and owing to roccent improvements in this Evener, the laps when ready for
the card, only varies ono quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card ru un.
There is al-o a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac
turing Company, ami at the best mi us at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester
Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore etc.. etc.
The following are a tew among many testimonials whien we nave received:

OFFICE LANGLEV MANUFACTURING COMPANY, f .
LANGLEY, S. 0., April 14, 1873. )
The Kitson Machine Company , Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen. '.v ve been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, witu Eveners, tor more than two vears nact nt the Cotton Mill of tne
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the mo-t satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, w e have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur'ty against fire.
Yours, &c., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
