CURRENT TOPICS
The Ohio Bugaboo.
So much has been said of the “Geghan
bill,” passed by the Ohio Legislature last
winter, that our readers may be curious to
lead it. We give it below. It is the same
as the ‘ Religious Liberty Law,” passed by
the Republican Legislature of Minnesota.
Hero it is:
An act to secure liberty of conscience in
matters of religion to persons imprisoned
or detained by authority of law:
. w ection 1. Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of the State of Ohio, That as
liberty of conscience is not forfeited by
reason of conviction of crime, or by reason
of detention in any penal, reformatory or
eleemosynary institution, or any house of
refuge, workhouse, jail or public asylum
in this State, no person in such institution
shall be compelled to attend religious wor
ship or instruction of a form which is
against the dictates of his or her con
science; and it shall be the duty of every
director, trustee, superintendent or other
person having in charge any such institu
tion to lurnish ample and equal facilities to
all such persons for receiving the ministra
tions of the authorized clergymen of their
own religious denominations and persua
sions, under such reasonable rules and
regulations as the trustees, directors, man
..gets or superintendents shall make; but
no such rules shall be so construed as to
prevent the clergymen of any denomina
tion from fully administering the rites of
his denomination to such inmates, provided
such ministration entails no expense upon
the public treasury.
An act almost precisely similar was
passed by the Massachusetts Legislature—
a Republican body — at its last session, as
follows:
“ An ae: to provide for religious instruc
tion in prison. Be it enacted, etc., as fol
lows:
“ section 1. No inmate of any prison,
jail or house of correction in this Common
wealth shall he denied the free exercise of
iiis religious belief and liberty of worship
ing GoU according to the dictates of his
conscience, witiiin tlie place where such in
mate may be kept or confined; and it shaii
be the duty of the officers end boards of
officers having the management and direc
tion of any such institutions to make such
rules and regulations as may be necessary
to carry out the intent and provisions oi
this act.
“ Sec. 2. Nothing herein contained shall
be so construed as to impair the discipline
of any prison, so far as may be needful for
the good government and-safe custody of
its inmates.
“ sec. 3 This act shall take effect upon its
passage.”
" [Approved April 15th, 1875.]”
Terrible, is it not ?
What a Savage Thinks of French Art
and Morals.
During his stay in Paris the Sultan of
Zanzibar wrote long letters daily to his fa
vorite Sultana at home, giving his impres
sions of travel. Describing a visit to the
opera the Sultan says: There was so much
cold water about this performance that the
temperature went down, I do not knowhow
many degrees. All the roses of the flower
girl Bekthe were frozen. This flower girl
presented me with a remarkable bouquet,
which I hope to hi ing back to the seraglio.
It will bo faded, but it will give you a pert
fume of Paris. I offered to bring Bekthe
herself. But I found she was an innocent
young girl, who wants to show in the
heart of the opera that virtue still exists in
the world. She is pretty. Her hair is like
the wheat of Turkey and her eyes like
the beaten of Mahomet. In tho eve
ning she sells flowers at the opera; in the
morning she has her shop in the Champs
Elysees, where everybody goes for her
bouquets. They say she knows more than
any w oman in Paris about fashionable love
affairs. She could draw up the tariff of
fashionable hearts. Sending a bouquet is a
declaration of war. To know how to make
a bouquet is to control the speech of flow
ers—a language everywhere spoken. If I
ever have a college at Zanzibar I shall es
tablish a professoress of the language of
flowers. All the pretty Parisians who are
still in town attended this performance at
the opera. The more they expose them
selves tire prettier they think they are
They are charming, and with them one for
gets what bad politicians the Parisians
have. It is to be hoped that their wives
will lead them back to common sense by
the nose, otherwise the whole generation
will go 1 > the dogs.
Cost of Solomon’s Temple.
According to the computation of Vill al
pandus, the value of the talents of gold,
silver and brass used in the construction of
i he temple amounted to $34,399,107,500. The
jewels are reckoned to have exceeded this
sum, but for the sako of an estimate are
set down for the same amount. The ves
sels of gold consecrated to the use of the
temple are reckoned by Josephus at 140,000
talents, which, according to Chapel’s re
duction, are equal to $2,726,181,000. The
v essels of siluer are computed at $2,446,720,-
000. The silver vestments at $10,000,000;
and the other musical instruments at $200,-
OiK).
To these expenses must be added those
of other materials—the timber and the
rtone, and of the labor employe 1 upon
them, divided thus: there were ten thou
i nd men at Lebanon hewing timber; there
were ten thousand bearers of burden; there
were twenty thousand hewers of stone;
and three thousand t ight hundred over
seers, all of whom were employed for seven
years, and upon whom, besides their wages
aud diet, Solomon bestowed about $33,600,-
000 in donations. The daily wages and food
are estimated to have been $469,386,000;
and the costly stone and timber, in the
r ough, are set down to be worth about one
third that of the gold, silver and brass, or
$12,726,480,000. This makes the grand total
of the cost of this magnificent structure
the sum of $87,212,152,000. This is sufficient
to pay the estimated indebtedness of the
whole world four times over!

In 1872 Russia took our cotton to the
value of $8,000,000; in 1873, that sum had
increased to $12,020,569, and in 1874, to
$26,721,231. This rapid and extraordinary
increase is due to the impetus given of late
years to Russia cotton industry. Russian
cotton goods are finding markets in the
far-extended East—ln those Asiatic coun
tries lately annexed, and also in Knokand,
Kashgar and other neighboring Asiatic
nations having treaties of friendship and
commerce with Russia. In all these coun
tries English goods brought lrom East
India cannot compete with the Russian
article.

The Griffin Messenger publisher e long
cock and bull story about a negro ins lrrec

Atla'ita (bmmonwialth: The notorious

approve of the manner of his takir g off,
but his going will be a God-send to the
people of that county.
Macon Telegraph: J. C. Dunlap, of At

years ago, and found them a few days
since among the plunder of a negre thief.
This shows what experts they have ia that
city. Always ahead, you see.
The Columbus Times reports the srle of
the large real estate of the late Se aborn

Carnak place and eighty acres of land in

Marietta Journal: Two or three years
ago Mr. R. t. Goodman received from Au
gusta a young alligator, which he put into
his mill pond, two miles from town.
Strange to say, another alligator has made
his appearance in the pond, and two have
been seen swimming about together. How
can this propagation be accounted for ?
* * Mr. GeoTge Kirk has kept working
his mine near Kennesaw Mountain until
his labors have been rewarded. He was in

precious metal is pronounced by our jewel

Judge Hammett has an interest ii this
mine, and already golden visions of wealth
rise up before him.

Marietta Journal: A runaway 7 accident
occurred last Friday evening on the square.
In which Mr. Joseph Coryell of this p|aee,
and Miss Minnie Ives of Augusta, were
thrown violently from a buggy and hurt.
The horse they were driving is a flue, spir
ited animal, aud took flight at the polite
lifting of a hat by a young gentleman to
the young lady. Miss Minnie was handling
the lines at the time, but Mr. Coryell seized
the reins with his right hand aud t . ied to
prevent the lady’s falling out with his left.
The horse ran towards the old M irietta
Hotel con.or, and at tnat point gave a sud
den turn, which threw both of them out
on the ground—the lines broke and the
horse dashed on, stopping at the gate
fronting Col. Rood’s residence, wiiere the
couple first got into the buggy. Miss Miu
n o received a bruise on nor foreherd and
une side of her face had the skin pealed off.
Mr. Coryell had his left arm bruised and
skinned and a sligtit gash cut on his head.
Both were kindly cared for and are them
selves again. Miss ives acted the part of a
heroine, neither screaming nor fainting, but
acted with a presence of mind few possess
under such . ircuinstances. She is a beauti
ful young lady and is spending a visit with
some of her Staunton schoolmates, aud
her relative Mr. R. C. Kerr. Mr. Joseph
Coryell is one of our most respe. table and
highly esteemed young me > and regrets
tlie accident very much, but it was one of
those unforseen eveats which could not
possibly have been averted.
Atlanta Herald: Yest -rday, in conversa
tion with Mr. Wm. Heriing, of Augusta,
who has control of SBB,OOO of the bends of
the Roiling Mill, he said if the proposition
made by W. W. Clark is not accepted by the
general creditors and the Rolling M i 11 Com
pany we will foreclose our mortgage at
once. The proposition is to postpone our
right to foreclose our mortgage ant bring
the property to sale, on condition that we
are paid from the products of sai I Liolliug
Mill, or otherwise, by the Ist day
ber, 1870, one-tenth of their bonds and all ac
crued interest up to that time, and ten per
cent, of the remaining bonds, and with
all accrued interest annually up to and
including the Ist day of September, 1875.
On their part the general creditors were to
agree never in any way to litigate the
legality of the issue, the sale, price paid,
the interest, or in any way seek to postpone,
litigate, or interfere with the payment of
said bonds, principal and interest. Also,
the general creditors were to agree, should
the first terms above fail to be complied
with, to relinquish their claims to said
Rolling Mill and turn over to the bond
holders aforesaid the possession of he mill
and property, even before the foreclosure;
shall keep the mill insured for the benefit
of the bondholdei s; also, may elect to have
the mortgage foreclosed and the mill sold,
if any portion of them (the said general
creditors) refuse to agree and be bound by
this contract.
What tire South Says to Her Children.
BY MARGARET J. PRESTON.
I have smoothed from my forehead its sad
ness;
’Tis over! r J hank Heaven therefor!
I would hide now with garments of glad
ness
Tho sackcloth and ashes of war.
Not a word of the past! It has perished,
Gone down in its beauty and gloc m;
Yet because it so proudly was cheri shed,
Shall we sigh out our years at its tomb ?
But the beauty and honor undaunted.
Still steadfast and stern as can bo;
By the laurels a Jackson has plants ;1—
By tho hopes that we buried with Lee;
Let us wrest from the futuro the guerdons
That to resolute purpose belong;
Let us fling from our spirits their burdens,
And acquit us like men and be strong!
I bring you, compatriots, brothers,
(As largess ye dare not disdain,
Like Nature’s that bountiful mother’s),
Savannas as smooth as the main !
My valleys Shall whiten all over
With snows never born of the cold;
And grain, like a Midas, shall cover
Every slope that it touches with gold.
The clink of the artisan’s hammer
Shall scare from the forest its gloom;
In the brake shall the water-fowl’s clamor
Be drowned by the crash of the loom!
Then up from your torpor, ye sleepers!
The dream ye are dreaming deee: ve -;
Goforth to the fields with the reapers,
Aud garner the prodigal eheaves!
With flocks glahlen meadow and m ountain,
With tinkling h rds speckle each hill,
And blend with tho splash of the fountain,
The rumble and ioar of the mill.
Brave hearts that have wielded tlie sabre,
Staunch spirits that stood by the gun,
Take heed of the Gospel of Labor;
The old dispensation is done!
Put hands to the plow of endeavor,
Plant foot in tiie deep-furrowed track;
Set face to the future and never
One wavering moment look back !
For none who despairingly centre
Their thoughts on the by-gone, and ban
'J he present, are fitted to outer
The on-coming kingdom of man
Sacrilegious Thieves ok the Past. —
For a few days past workmen have
been engaged iu tearing down the old
Presbyterian Church at Clinton, Arm
strong county, thirty-five miles from
this city, preparatory to the building of
anew edifice. This church was built
about thirty years ago, and v hen the
workmen in tearing down the structure
came to the foundations, they natu
rally made a dash for the corner stone
to see the relics of thirty yei.rs ago.
Judge of their surprise to find the box
in the corner stone empty. There
wasn’t a “relic” of any sort. It asinuch
as there are people who are willing to
take a Bible oath that they ; >yt gold
and silver coin in the box at the time
of the corner stone laying, the only
presumption is that somebodj got his
work in on the corner stone just after
it was laid and cleaned it of its valua
bles. It might be a hard job for the
detectives to “work up” that robbery
now, —[Pittsburg Leader,

Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evenor, the laps when ready for
the card, only varies one 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 room.
s*Thci e is al- o a meat saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may bo seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mi.is at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester

Gentlemen. ■ .we been running your system of Compound Opener Lappen and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, 'or man; th -r *-•”<* vears niyt pt th CT ■ lotion Mid of tne
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I*have found it to work the mo-t satisfactory of
a y opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picket apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not iniured 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 lire.
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
